Automator and ClamXav workflows...HELP

I was wondering if there is anyway that I could automatically set up some type of workflow with my antivirus program to scan all files that I download from a limewire type of program? Is this even possible with Automator?

Hey BD. I check clam and it had a clamxav sentry, in which I can insert a folder that clam will watch. Anytime I input any type of file into that folder, itll scan it.
Thanks

Using both iPhoto and Aperture workflow help

I am using both aperture 3 and iPhoto 9 to edit and keep track of images
I imported images to iPhoto the have Aperture import the iPhoto library this way I have i library..I know if something happens to it I am screwed
1) I know that Aperture is non destructive, is iPhoto?
2) will changes ( like GPS location) in aperture be applied to iPhoto images
3) looking to see if I can make changes made in one program appear in the other
4) or it it better to import the images in from my external drive (how they were before iPhoto), and have a separate library for each program

Here's the best advice for using both iPhoto and Aperture:
Pick one horse and ride it. They both do the same job. If you're shooting Raw or high volumes of Jpeg, then definitely go with Aperture. If you're doing family snaps with a point and shoot stick with iPhoto. Using both adds unnecessary complexity to everything, and with complexity comes the risk of error and data loss.
1) I know that Aperture is non destructive, is iPhoto?
Yes. In a wholly different way, mind you, but yes. WHen you edit an image in iPhoto it creates a new file called the Modified Version. You can always revert to the Original photo. If you edit only with iPhoto then you can also avoid generational loss.
2) will changes ( like GPS location) in aperture be applied to iPhoto images
No.
3) looking to see if I can make changes made in one program appear in the other
You can't.
4) or it it better to import the images in from my external drive (how they were before iPhoto), and have a separate library for each program
It makes no sense to use both programs.
Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.
The only communication between the two is as follows:
Aperture is able to parse the iPhoto Library to allow it to import the contents while stacking the Originals and Modified versions, preserving metadata and so forth.
Aperture can share its Previews with the iLife apps, including iPhoto.
That's it.
So, specifically, what interaction there is between the two is designed to facilitate migration from iPhoto to the more powerful app. After that, iPhoto has exactly the same relationship to the Aperture Library as, say, Pages or iMovie.
iPhoto has no knowledge of, and knows nothing of how the Aperture Library works. It cannot read the Aperture library.
What are you hoping to achieve by running both?

3rd Party Application Vulnerability Patching-Automating and Best Practices-HELP!

Using Kaspersky Security Center Version 10.1.249I have been tasked to come up with a process to manage our Microsoft workstations and Servers to patch 3rd party Vulnerabilities (WSUS is managing the Microsoft side).New to the KSC interface since i have inherited the install but was wondering if i could request some remedial assistance almost to the point of step by step on how I can automate the approval, download and install of "Critical" Vulnerabilites.I understand that everything is a "task" in KSC but I am not finding anything online and i Prefer the assistance of my spiceworks colleagues over calling support.I was playing around today with individual pc's in our IT group but it only worked after I MANUALLY approved the critical severity (kl)update under software updates.Requirements:Currently we scan for vulnerabilities once a...
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

I recommend finding out exactly why they would need administrative privileges and find GPO settings that would work for your organization. If they only need to install Drivers lets say, then only give them privileges to do that.
I personally work in the IT Department (Army of two) in an environment that has hundreds of users. They program, manufacture, and design various products and we are not flooded with requests. No user has administrative privileges aside from the us two in
the IT Department. This allows us to better control the environment.
By allowing your users to have administrative privileges, they will always have the capabilities to "Override" your policies for at least the computers they have administrative privileges.
Of course, each environment is different and should be considered differently when setting up users rights and privileges. To perform their daily functions, ask yourself what administrative privileges do they need? Maybe only allow them those privileges
through GPO.

Help with Automator and Safari

I am an automator newbie and need some help. What I am trying to do is automate a rather time consuming task. I have 219 bookmarks in Safari for books at amazon.com. What I would like to do is use Automator to take the title of each book and the ISBN of each book of the bookmarked page and then paste it into an excel database. Is this possible? If I could I would like to take it one step further. What I would really like to do is take the title of each book, the ISBN, and post them into a text file (or Excel Database) and then check to see if each title is available at my local borders store and note that in the file as well. Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi
Easiest way is to click/drag the image to your desktop, where it is automatically saved in its original file format (e.g. jpeg, gif etc.). From there you can move the file to a designated location via your Finder.
The other path is to right click or control key/click on an image, opening the contextual menu. There, you have a choice to directly download the image to your designated Safari download location (Safari preferences>General), or you can hold down the "option" key, which changes the contextual menu command from "save image to Safari download" to "save image as". Here, you can navigate to your location of choice.
Also, in the contextual menu, you can download the image directly in your iPhoto library.
So there's a lot of ways at your disposal.

Can Automator run a workflow on many folders, one at a time?

Hello,
In a parent folder, I have a bunch of subfolders with image files (BMP, JPG or PNG).
I want each of these subfolders to become a PDF combining the original image files.
I also want the resulting PDFs to be named as the original subfolder.
Is there a way to do it with Automator, or do I have to dive into Applescript (I am totally new to both)?
In Automator, the following 3-step workflow does almost what I want:
#1 - Ask for Finder Items (I provide the parent folder)
#2 - Get folder contents
#3 - New PDF from images
However, I get only one huge PDF combining the contents of all subfolders (I need one PDF per subfolder) and I must give for step #3 a specific file name (I need the filename to be that of the containing folder).
Am I on the right path? I tried using the 'Loop' action and the 'Path' variable but I didn't progress.
More generally, can Automator run a workflow on a bunch of folders one folder at a time, or is that a job for Applescript?
Thank you very much for you help.
W.

Unfortunately, the text field in the *New PDF from Images* action doesn't support variables, and the *Rename Finder Items* action doesn't either (I wish Apple would get on the stick with updating their actions). There is this macosxhints article about hacking the workflow plist, but that doesn't always work.
I have a couple of actions that could be used - the Get Names of Finder Items action can be used to get the folder name (to put into a variable), and the Change Name of Finder Items action does accept variables to change the name.

Apple Script to automatically apply automator folder action workflows

Hello
     I'm trying to get an applescript to automatically apply an automator folder action workflow to a folder..
     Getting applescript to apply a scpt file to a folder as a folder action is straight forward. However, it seems that scpt files are different than automator folder action workflows..
     Normally I would just script the folder action in apple script, but this is for someone that can handle automator, but not apple script coding. This whole scripting is to solve the issue of subdirectories being creating and then files or subfolders being created there after. So we need to try to get automator folder actions to propagate though.. easy enough with applescript..
Any help would be appreciated...

Here is the code that I needed to happen... Maybe I just missed something in automator... but this applescript properly applies itself to subfolders, which then allows me to apply specific scripts based on folder names and locations. Also if the subfolders already exist.. the scirpt also is applied to those.
on adding folder items to this_folder
createlist(this_folder)
end adding folder items to
on createlist(item_list)
          set ActionScript to " REMOVED FOR PUBLIC DISPLAY:ApplyScriptSubfolders.scpt"
          set the the_items to list folder item_list without invisibles
          set item_list to item_list as string
               repeat with i from 1 to number of items in the the_items
                 set the_item to item i of the the_items
                                   set the_item to (item_list & the_item) as alias
                                   set this_info to info for the_item
                                   if folder of this_info is true then
                          tell application "System Events"
                                                                      display dialog "Attching script to " & the_item as text --
                                 attach action to folder (the_item as text) using ActionScript
                                                       end tell
                            my createlist(the_item)
                                   end if
               end repeat
end createlist
I appreciate your help.. if you now know what has to happen and have a shorter way of doing so, please do so..
Thank you again,

Automator Watermark PDF Workflow

Seems with every major upgrade, Apple breaks the Automator Watermark PDF Workflow.
Can someone test this workflow in Yosemite so I know if the problem I'm having is with OS X 10.10.

Hello
Under 10.6.8, Watermark PDF Documents.action/Contents/Resources/tool.py works happily without any errors when invoked as follows with a.pdf and watermark.png in ~/desktop/test/ :
#!/bin/bash
py='/System/Library/Automator/Watermark PDF Documents.action/Contents/Resources/tool.py'
cd ~/desktop/test || exit
args=(
    --input     a.pdf
    --output    a_wm.pdf
    --verbose
    --over
    --xOffset   0.0
    --yOffset   -150.0
    --angle     300.0
    --scale     0.3
    --opacity   0.1
    watermark.png
"$py" "${args[@]}"
If the said error – ValueError: depythonifying 'pointer', got 'str' – is raised at the line:
provider = CGDataProviderCreateWithFilename(imagePath)
I'd think it is because imagePath is not a C string pointer which the function expects but a CFStringRef or something which is implicitly converted from python string. Since I don't get this error with pyobjc 2.2b3 & python 2.6 under 10.6.8, it is caused by something introduced in later versions.
Anyway, the statement in question may be replaced with the following statements if it helps:
url = CFURLCreateFromFileSystemRepresentation(kCFAllocatorDefault, imagePath, len(imagePath), False)
provider = CGDataProviderCreateWithURL(url)
I modified the tool.py with these changes along with other minor fixes and run it successfully under 10.6.8. I'm not sure at all whether it works under later OSes as well. And even if it does, editing tool.py will require the Automator action to be re-codesigned.
Here's the revised tool.py.

Changing "Check Shopping Cart" screen and Completion workflow

Hi,
Below i describe a) the current process, b) the required changes, and c) my questions.
Though it is also about workflows i still thought this was the best place to post the thread.
Current process:
In the process "free text order" i choose Go Shopping >> Shop >> Describe Requirement. I fill in details and complete the next steps.
Now the Completion workflow (WS14000044) has started.
So if I now look on my homepage in SRM i have an approval item which reads:
   Approval
   You can approve or reject shopping carts and read your e-mails relating to the procurement transaction
   You have
   - 1 Workflow Entries in Inbox
   - 0 Unread Documents in Inbox
So i open the list and find one item: Complete shopping cart of mr X.. Now i click on the item and it takes me to "Check Shopping Cart"
At the bottom of the screen is one button: "Change"
Requirements:
1) add two buttons to this screen. One button is "Reject", to reject the shoppping cart directly. The second button "Mail Requester" to send the shopping cart back to the requester and also sends a mail via outlook to inform the requester that this has happened and requesting more information.
2) these buttons should then influence the behaviour of the Completion Workflow. In this workflow (WS14000044) the task Completion (TS14007947) currently has one activated outcome. From my two buttons i would need two more outcomes that allow me to model the other actions that i need i.e. the rejection outcome and the back-to-requester/send-mail outcome.
Questions:
1) is it allowed/possible to add the buttons to the existing screens. Or do i need to create a custom screen and call that instead of the standard screen?
2) is it allowed/possible to modify the completion workflow as described? Or do i need to copy and then modify?
3) How could i make the buttons to interact with the workflow? The only thing i can think of is to create a Z-bus object of the object Form and to modify so that it show my expected outcomes.
4) any helpful links to sdn posts of blogs or otherwise on how to go about to create the necessary changes.
Thx for your input
Kind regards
Robert

Hi Robert,
Again, before technical solutioning, we need to step back and understand the business process and functions of each role (e.g., Buyer, Financial Approver) in the completion and approval workflow.
Here's my understanding of the as-is (correct me if I am wrong). You are using One-Step Spending Limit WF (10000276) for financial approval. This is done by a Financial Approver (I am guessing, the line manager). The Buyer is not part of the process. Now, you want to introduce free-text requisitioning, and, consequently, you want to introduce the Buyer role into the workflow process - to complete the free-text lines (e.g. with vendor, price).
Based on above scenario, I believe your initial solution was not incorrect - introduce Completion WF (14000044) for the completion task, while keeping 10000276 for financial approval.
Now the business wants the Buyer to play a more active role in the process. They want to be able to Reject (the whole cart?) and Inquire (send the cart back to requester with questions). In my mind, it may still be possible to explore keeping the original design with Completion WF without modifying it, and still achieve the business needs. You can explore different ways of doing that: delete SC items instead of Rejecting, add Approval Comments to inquire, etc.
Alternatively, you can replace all your workflows with one - WS14000133 "Spending limit, n-step,
dynamic approvers (BAdI)". Here, you can determine your approvers flexibly via a BAdI implementation. For example:
1. If Total Amount =< Spending Limit of Purchaser, then no approval agents - auto-approve SC.
2. If Total Amount > Spending Limit of Purchaser AND there're no free-text lines, then determine Financial Approver.
3. If Total Amount > Spending Limit of Purchaser AND there're incomplete free-text lines, then determine Buyer; once free-text lines completed - then Financial Approver.
WS14000133 also has back-and-forth functionality which you can use for the inquiries. WS14000133 provides the most flexibilty, but it also involves more effort to implement. Read up on WS14000133 at help.sap.com.
Bottom line - I would focus on evaluating these two standard options: 14000044 with 10000276, or 14000133. You may need to do some pros/cons, cost/benefit analysis. But I see no need to modify or copy SAP templates in your case.
Cheers,
Serguei

Workflow help needed, transitioning from iPhoto/iPhoto Library Manager

HI all, I am using latest Aperture, iPhoto, and 10.6.3 on lan connected macs and need some help setting up a workflow/libraries that represent some sanity amid the tens of thousands of photos that I have. Before getting Aperture3, i was using iPhoto and iPhoto Library Manager to work between an imac and an mbp; i would create a temp library to travel with on the mbp and then when I returned to the office I would merge the updated temp lib with the master lib housed on a huge external drive hanging off the imac. Using iPhoto Library Manager this is a lot of work and very slow indeed.
So with my new install of Aperture3, I am sure there is a better way, I just have not found a coherent tut that explains what I should be doing under these circumstances. I see that I can import iPhoto libraries, and that I can also use referenced files to get things into Aperture no matter where they are, or I can ??? Really confused on all the options.
Ideally, I think what we all want is a cloud like repository for all photos where users could check in and check out photos and have all the metadata preserved, but I guess they also want ice water down under, and haven't gotten that yet either.
Short of the above fairytale, what can I do? I do expect to have another mbp in the field soon, so that will be two machines/users that will need to pull things out of a master repository and check back in updated files as well as add new files to the collective.
Thoughts? Thx.

1) Import my one massive iPhoto Library into Aperture 3 - but do I use referenced or embedded options? Is there any advantage to leaving everything in iPhoto and just referencing from Aperture? Or do I get everything into Aperture and then just blow away iPhoto?
I see no reason to leave the files in iPhoto. If you agree you can do one of two things: either move them elsewhere and reference them or manage them in Aperture. Many folks recommend referencing them, but it's a choice only you can make.
I see no reason to continue with iPhoto.
2) In Aperture, I can export a set of projects from the main repository into a "traveling library", say when I take the MBP out on assignment,
Correct: File -> Export Project as New Library
and then when I return, I just import that library back and the updates I made on the road will get integrated with the whole again? If so, that's worth the price of admission!
Correct.

GR and Iv Workflow

Hi all,
I am currently working on Goods receipt workflow...After posting the goods receipt the work flow should get triggered and work item for creating the invoice should be sent to the respective person...The above thing works fine...The Problem arises when the responsible person creates a invoice thru MIRO transaction directly instead of executing the work item..
So when the person creates a invoice thru the transaction directly then the wok item should come to the completed status and the workflow should proceed..
Can any one help me in this .
Thanks & Regards,
Hari.

Hi all,
My workflow is getting triggered when we post goods receipt..A work item has to be sent to the person who is responsible for posting the invoice..But according to my scenario even the person posts the invoice directly thru MIRO my workflow should be completed.So as it has been said earlier i tried fork with 2 parallel branches and 1 neccesary branch and used wait for step event but i am getting error in the fork step..
Should i be using correlation or something because my wf gets trigerred when gr is posted but in the wait step i am checking for invoice posted event...if yes can anyone say how to use correlation
or else is there anyother way for achieving this functionality.Please help me out in this.
Thanks & Regards,
Hari.

Differences in Oracle Service Bus, BPEL and human workflow

Hi Everyone,
I am newbie, don't know if its the right place to post this thread.
I want to prepare paper on differences in Oracle Service Bus, BPEL and human workflow, can anybody help me.
Till now i came to know all these things are very different, no poit comparing them but still need differences
Thanks in advance:
Vikas

Basic difference:
BPEL : It is used for orchastrating different processes. Its heavyweight and stores instances (stateful)
OSB : It is used for routing data between the applications
Human Workflow : It is used to handle scenarios where manual intervention is necessary.

Information about Integration WebDynpro for ABAP and Business-Workflow

Hi Experts,
I'm looking for information about
Integration WebDynpro for ABAP and Business-Workflow
Link, documents and books are welcome!
Thanks
mishak

If you have worked on workflows earlier the procedure is very simple. You just need to enter certain parameter values of your application in SWFVISU for the respective task and re-register your system in UWL administration. Thats it! your webdynpro and workflows are integrated. For details on the parameters check the following link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/19/bff5c18ba44da4a4ca68cf572dabda/frameset.htm
There are also a couple of blogs on "launching webdynpro from UWL" (Procedure for both Java and webdynpro is almost similar). You can also check these for more details.

|My question, can i do the edit on a 1920 X 1080 dvpal timeline, and then before export change it to prores, re-render and export??. will i lose any quality? or should i cut it all in a prores sequence. just render times are very long for the comps, filters im using etc.
any workflow help would be awesome!!
cheers

No. DV is not 1920x1080. It is 720x576.
will i lose any quality?
Yes...if you use those settings. Well, if FCP even lets you.
or should i cut it all in a prores sequence
Yes....cut in a ProRes sequence.

Automator and sound preferences

Imac Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Is there any way set up an automator script (or Apple script) to change sound preferences. Example, change from Imic output to headphone output, turn off and on Isub. Any help would be appreciated.

Furthermore, I came across this applescript in forums which appears to do switching, it opens the preference panel and selects sound but then stops with the fault.
System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4
I don't understand the script language yet as I am new to automator and apple script.
i need to switch between imic output(with sub off) and headphone output (with sub on)
Also whats the best place to learn apple script language?
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.sound"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
click radio button "Output" of tab group 1 of window "Sound"
repeat until (value of radio button "Output" of tab group 1 of window "Sound") is 1
end repeat
if (selected of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1 of window "Sound") is true then
select row 2 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1 of window "Sound"
repeat until (selected of row 2 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1 of window "Sound") is true
end repeat
else
select row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1 of window "Sound"
repeat until (selected of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1 of window "Sound") is true
end repeat
end if
end tell
quit

Can Automator start a workflow after login AUTOMATICALLY?

I have made a workflow in Automator that kickstarts certain applications that I would like to be loaded and do their thing while I’m having my breakfast in the morning. These are Entourage, Mail, NetNewsWire... you get the idea.
I have added the workflow to the login items and it does indeed start Automator, but then Automator expects me to press the “Run” button manually. Is there any way to have a) Automator start a workflow automatically, and b) keep its own program in the background or at least quit itself after the workflow has been processed?

No kids yet but I cant get me off of it. I was just thinking that in many ways I am in a rut. It seems like everything is word processing, e-mail, and web surfing.Partly because of time and partly because of needing additional memory. This is the first Mac I have had with anything close to the horsepower i would like to have had.
I have gotten to do a few interesting things because of writing for ATPM. My problem is I am sort of a "Jack of all trades master of none". I usually have trouble coming up with ideas for that column so any suggestions would be appreciated.
