MI WORKSPACE EDITOR'S

Title: WORKSPACE EDITOR'S





Hi all,


Question 1


Does anyone know of a good add on package, or standalone package to edit and check workspaces?


I am after something that can can globaly:

automate path name changes in multiple workspaces at one time
check through a directory tree of your selection for a table of your choice to see if it exists in a workspace - from there give you a list of workspaces containing the selected table, be able to rename, or delete, or change the path name of the table within the workspace.
check for unused tables in workspace - then be able to remove from workspace


Question 2


Does anyone know of an mbx that will create a thematic map based on an individual attribute and brush style already defined to a mapinfo table. 


Any information on the above would be useful or anyone that could direct us to a good site for mapinfo maintenance tools.

Thanks to all for your help

MI Workspace Problem

2000-05-23 Thread Alex Ross

Dear Lister's

Has anybody had problems saving workspaces on a
Windows 95 OS.  Our 4 person GIS team currently uses
NT on 3 of the 4 machines in our office.  However, on
our 95 OS we cannot save workspaces.  When the
workspace is oppened in wordpad for correction all the
text is replaced with little sqaures.  We have scanned
for viruses and gotten together with our IT department
because it happens to all the workspaces that the
machine with 95 saves to our network drives.  The
machine also corrupts workspaces saved locally to it's
hard drive, but it doesn't happen as often and the
workspace is usually able to be saved in wordpad.   
The problem started about 6 weeks ago.  Any comments
on how to deal with this would be greatly appreciated.

2000-05-23 Thread Clifford Forbes

The first thought that came to my mind was that your  workspace file may be getting 
saved as a word processing doc file and not a text file.   

The fact you are using wordpad makes me think this.  

Whereas note pad only saves in text format, wordpad has to be told to save it as a 
text file. 

Just my thoughts

Re: MI Workspace Prob...

2000-05-19 Thread Danny Irwin

Andre,

I do not thinks that this is a problem with the virus, not affecting 
the workspace anyway.  If you can open your workspace in a text 
editor of some variety, goto the line represented by the number in 
the error message (36 in this case).  It sounds like it is trying to 
do something with one of your tables, using a column called ID.  
Dependant on what it is doing, either delete or modify this line and 
try running the workspace again.

MI Workspace Prob...

2000-05-18 Thread Lederer, Andre

Ever since the "I Love You" virus hit us, some of our workspaces are not
opening.  We are getting messages like... 

Workspacename.wor.36) Variable or field ID not defined.  

Could this be related to the virus somehow?  Or could it be that in
restoring our systems something was changed?

Any Thoughts???

Re: MI Workspace Prob...

2000-05-18 Thread Mick

Andre

that error message brings back (not so) fond memories - have you changed any
of the table structures? if you have that could be the problem, the "36" in
the error message is the line number in the workspace file, have a look at
it in a text editor and see what the variable name is, does it correspond to
a field name in the table? if not there's your problem, you can edit the
workspace (insert the valid field name) in the text editor and all should be
well, I once had to do something similar for lots of workspaces

I know very little about Lovebug etc. but I had the same problem a year or
so or go so I suspect it's not related.

hope this helps

cheers

Mick

Hi Karen

I had the same happening a few weeks ago! The only change in my system prior and
after the message appearing is that I changed my local (lpt1) inkjet printer to
another brand and type in the meantime and deleated the old printer driver from
the system.
 All the workspaces last openen with a still existing network printer worked
fine, the ones last opened with the previous local printer gave the message
."126: Printer driver file not found"

I had to open all the *.WOR files and deleted the reference to the printer in
the last part of that file to make them work again.

Peter,

Sounds like it might be worth expanding on this.  Perhaps by posting it to
mapinfo-l together with the source code, people could take the utility and
build on it if you gave permission for that.  Then hopefully, we could end
up with a utility that will read a workspace file, remove the open table
statement where a file cannot be fined, remove the relevant map from
statement and comma separator, and remove the layer control information
depending on where the layer appeared in the map from statement.  Queries
using that table should also be considered.

Greetings,

 Recently I have noticed there are a number of people inquiring about
how to open a Workspace that was created by a later version of MapInfo.

 As most of us are probably aware, the process is relatively simple
yet time consuming. Eg. use a text editor to edit the header of the
workspace, and
 then try to eliminate those lines that are not supported be earlier
versions. (can be frustrating at times).

 As I have a need to do this quite often, I decided to automate the
process by writing a simple MapBasic utility.  I have taken a very
simplistic approach -

 1) Read in the workspace
 2) Change the header
 3) Disregard all lines except for the table information
 4) Save out to new workspace

 You are left with a stripped down workspace that should load into
any MapInfo version, although you have now lost any formatting, layouts
etc.

 If you think this may suite your needs, or you just want to check it
out, Email me directly and I will forward it to you. Someone may even like
to build
 on the idea?

 If there is enough interest I will upload it to the Mapinfo-L site

MI workspace open and print problems

2000-02-10 Thread Alex Ross

Listers,

Our office currently has 4 versions of MapInfo ranging
from 4.1-5.5.  We are having trouble swapping
workspaces within the department.  I was under the
impression that if you open the workspace in Word as a
text document you can change the version of MapInfo it
was saved as.  The problem lies in reading back, for
example if someone saves the wksp in 5.5 any earlier
version can't read it.  I thought we could work around
it in word as described above.  Any information
regarding a solution to this problem would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi All.

The obvious solution is of course to synchronize upgrades across your
office.
Any software implemented in this way is likely to cause nothing but
trouble.
Seems as if someone is trying to save a buck but that buck is lost many
times over in time wasted as you run into trouble.

But anyway - a couple of mementos:

1: Do NOT use Word or ANY word processing software to edit workspace
files.
They are pure ASCII and may easily be completely ruined by inadvertently
added formatting codes. Use notepad or a similar tool.

2: MI writes version info into the workspace as needed. I.e. if a
workspace contains commands only valid in 5.5, it will say so. (The same
goes for tables as a matter of fact).
Thus, by changing the version info, earlier MI versions may well be
fooled to read the workspace but will then fail in an unpredictable way
upon encountering the unknown commands. 
So to be sure, these commands must be found and removed which may alter
the appearance of the workspace altogether.

MI Workspace Editing : DANGER DANGER

2000-02-03 Thread ZONING ADMINISTRATOR

Many have recently responded to problems with opening workspaces due to
deleted or path changed files.  Several have advised to simply delete the
reference to file in the Open Table " " section and the Map from Table
section.  This is not good advice.  The problem comes in when you delete the
file from the Map From section.  After the Map From section the front window
properties are set, then the Set Map section defines parameters for the
Layers.  THE ORDER OF LAYERS IS THE SAME AS THE ORDER OF THE MAP FROM
SECTION.  IF YOU DELETE THE REFERNCE TO THE MISSING TABLE IN MAP FROM
SECTION YOU SCREW UP THE OREDER OF LAYERS AND EVERY LAYER AFTER THE DELTED
TABLE WILL USE THE PROPERTIES OF THE NEXT LAYER.

What do I suggest you ask?  Replace the problem table with a known table

Re: MI WOrkspace

2000-02-03 Thread Charles Huyck



So that you know, this doesn't work well in practice.   I often have workspaces
with 100 or more tables in a workspace, and I am sure I am not alone.  It is not
uncommon for someone to come back 2-3 years later and want to use that map as a
base.  You have to allocate hours to resurrecting or remaking the map. Computers
die. Networks get rearranged. It's a drag. This happens all the time.

I think a good solution would be a "delete table from workspace" option.  If a
table is missing, you have to dink with the workspace forever, changing layer
references to try to get it to open.  It would be nice to have something that
does it automatically.

What is even more annoying is that if a column is referenced for labeling, then
gets changed, the workspace won't open. And it won't even tell you the table
name!  Then you have to look at the map statement and count over, figure out
what table it's complaining about, make a dummy column that takes up drive
space, and try again.  And 90% of the time you weren't even labeling that field!

Hi All!
Will Woodruff wrote as a tip for saving wrecked workspaces:

 that will open in both the Open Table section and the Map From section.
 Open your workspace.  Close the replacement table.  Save the workspace. 

Well, at first this seems as a splendid idea.
However, the replacing table cannot be any dummy table.
Consider the line
   Layer 5
Display Graphic
Zoom (0, 1500) Units "mi" 
Label Line Arrow Position Above Font ("Arial",0,9,0) Pen (1,2,0) 
  With Highway

Now, if Layer 5 does not contain the column name Highway - the workspace
will fail at this point.
In fact, it is almost impossible to recognize all references to a
missing table in the workspace file.

But if the case is a mislaid table, you can give MapInfo a hand in
searching:
Under Options  Preferences  Directories you can add up to 4 search
paths.
If you add the 4 most likely drives or trees, MapInfo will traverse each
one in turn until a Table with the wanted name is found. Be prepared
that this can take a while. 
Beware that MapInfo opens the first Table found a name that satisfies
the search condition. So if multiple tables exist with the same name (no
good practice but common nevertheless) another table than the original
may well be opened with possibly fatal results.

The obvious choice in the workspace opener should of course be an option
to skip and turn off all following references to a missing Table.

RE: MI Workspace Editing : DANGER DANGER

2000-02-03 Thread Sinam Al-Khafaji

For the future, I would suggest our Workspace Manager. Downloadable from our
website for a free time renewable version.

It can create a .worp file.  This in essence is a compressed workspace, that
when reopened, can reassign the data files to new directories.  You could
also archive old workspaces (perhaps those older than 1 year) as a .worp
file, then uncompress then in whatever location required.  It does require
space, as each file making up the workspace is copied and compressed.  You
can also use Workspace Manager to send whole workspaces to clients, either
via e-mail like a .zip or transferring the whole workspace to another
storage medium.  We often burn to CD or zip drive for easy transfer.  It can
also parcel the worp file
into e-mail bundles for size limit e-mail system.

www.empoergeo.com

http://www.empowergeo.com/authorized/workspace.htm

Here the basics from the readme.txt. 
 Features

Workspace Manager is designed to facilitate easy management and distribution
of a standard MapInfo Professional(r) Workspace file (.WOR extension).
Version 1.0 of Workspace Manager has been tested with MapInfo Professional
v4.5 and v5.0.  (and 5.5 - Sinam)

a)  Resolves missing/relocated .TAB files.
You can let Workspace Manager search drives for you automatically, or you
can specify a particular file replacement.

b)  Workspace Packages (.WORP) can be built to send a Workspace to another
user via disk, email or other electronic transport mechanism.
The Workspace Package can include any or all of the tables that are used in
the Workspace (within the Limitations listed in IIa).  The Packaged files
are compressed to reduce disk space and transmission time requirements.

c)  The recipient of a Workspace Package would use Workspace Manager to save
the enclosed Workspace and Tables to disk, and will assist in the location
of any tables not included in the distribution.

d)  Workspace Manager will default to extract only newer Tables from the
Package thus preserving your local copies as appropriate.  The user can
easily override this default on a Table by Table basis.

e)  There is no physical restriction on the number of Tables that can be
included in a Package or on their sizes (within available disk space
requirements for building or extracting them).

Yes, I found this possibility. I just don't want  to fix the workspace for missing 
layers "by hand" or forceps if I have hundreds of layers to replace. Besides, I was 
hopping for something new on this matter. Like an "workspace application interface"

today, not only can they not find that one but they seem to have 
lost all the others too. When I go through the process of finding 
each table individually it gets so far and then tells me that it can't

Join the club! I had a similar tale of woe from a student who had done 
the same thing. Open the .wor file in Notepad (after saving a copy in a 
different folder for safety!) and delete the lines referring to the lost 
tables. (The sections start: Open table "C:\mystuff...   etc). Save the 
file and it should open OK with the remaining tables. You can then open the 
tables which still exist (but wouldn't open) and save the workspace again - 
preferably under a new filename just in case it falls over again!

Hi Users

Is there any reason why MI (unlike ArcView) does not complete the open workspace 
command if there is one single map missing?

I am running a program that creates multiples workspaces based on a workspace template 
and a lot of interactions are needed.  However not all the maps have all the leyers 
(13 layers) so if the workspace for the complete set is working it will crash for 
those with one single map missing. Is there a way to say  CONTINUE or IGNORE?

Thanks for all.

Fraser-

I'm not sure how ER mapper appends comments, but at the very least if you
wanted to append comments to your MI workspace you could open up the .WOR
file in a text editor and use the apostrophe character ('), which is used in
MapBasic to signify the beginning of a comment.  Then you can comment to
your hearts content.  Just be sure you add the comments AFTER the initial
workspace information that is preceded by exclamation marks (!)

eg.

!Workspace
!Version 550
!Charset WindowsLatin1

'this is a comment
'you can type all you want to describe your workspace here

Open Table "C:\Mapping\Database\AllSites" As AllSites

MI Workspace Control

1999-07-25 Thread Chris_Skelly



Peter,

Thanks for sending this to me - I'll pass this onto the group (no I'm not a paid
advocate!) because its salient to the discussion regarding the difficulty with
workspaces.

The company (below) has developed a very slick set of tools (at least from what
I can tell on their web page), and I can't imagine this kind of market evolving
if there weren't widespread user frustration with workspaces... ok guys how
about a business partnership with MI so that we can all have these tools in
release 6.0 ! :-)

Chris

Chris,


 This may be of help to you. Have you heard of "workspace control" by
4thBeach Software (Sth Australian company)

 You can download a trial copy at
http://www.4thbeachsoftware.com/Products/products.htm

 It may make life a little easier when you have to manage workspaces.
