How to use the validation work in Both TAB and Mouse keys in Forms6i

Hi,
I have a validation script once it's validated it should execute the query.But using When-Validate-Item i can't use execute_query.I am able to use the validation in Key-Next-Item trigger but if the user moves the cursor using mouse then it's not working.
How to use the validation script working in Both Scenarios(Tab and Mouse keys).
Can anyone please give inputs to rectify the above issue?.

So you have multiple fields, but on at least one of them if it's valid you immediately want to execute the query?
You could create a hidden field in a control block Query_Now default 'N'. In a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM on your item, if it's determined to be valid, then set Query_Now to 'Y'.
In a WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE at block level, check if Query_Now is 'Y'. If it is then execute the query (and set it back to 'N').

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

How to Use the same iview for both KM End User and the KM Administrator

Hi friends,
*This is my scenario :* How to Use the same iview for both KM End User and the KM Administrator but with different Context
Menu Options.
i followed these steps but im getting same context menu for both KM End User and the KM Administrator .
Assign the role Content Administrator to the user km_admin. This is needed so that km_admin can change
the presentation settings for the KM Folder u201EReports_kmFolder‟.
Now, login with user km_admin. Navigate to the Km Folder reports_kmFolder through Content Administration
-> Km Content. Click on Details link of the folder reports_kmFolder.
Go To Settings -> Presentation. Click on the tab u201ESettings for You‟-> Click on button u201ESelect Profile‟.
Select the radio button corresponding to u201Elayout Set‟, and choose u201EConsumerExplorer‟ from the dropdown.
Click u201EOK‟.
Select both the check boxes corresponding to Items Affected as shown above, and click u201ESave‟
Now, remove the u201ESuper Administrator‟ role from the user km_admin and login with this user.
How rto resolve this????
Regards,
Prasad.

Hello Prasad,
Most likely the user km_admin still has system principal roles assigned, even though you removed the Super Admin role, you should check that this user doesn't have any other admin roles, otherwise it will be considered a System Principal user and will therefore still have access to all content. For more information see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/19/56f28fbd4e11d5993b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
Try creating a new user with just read access to the content and you should see that it will not be able to make any changes etc.

Lorcan.

How to use the validations and exceptions in BPEL

Hi,
How to use the validations and exceptions in BPEL.
pls provide one sample example to give the exceptions and validations in BPEL

Hi,
For example you can create a simple BPEL Process and you can throw an error during running process. If input data is not valid and format is not correct you can throw error using throw activity and using catch activity you can catch particular error. The catch-all will handle all the error occurred with the scope.
you can also refer faulthandling section in the link for more information related to exception handling.

How to use the same keypair for both encrypt/decryprt-SunPKCS#11

Dear All,
Subject: To access iKey 2032 token, to retrieve public/private key from iKey 2032 token using pkcs#11 in sdk1.5, to encrypt/decrypt files.
When I separate the encrypt and decrypt part of java program, encryption program works well, whereas decryption program does not decrypt anything in the decrypt file (But there is no error). I printed out the public and private key in both encrypt and decrypt part of java program, its displayed differently::
Encrypt program:

I suspect that every time program generates different set of key, therefore we need to store the generated key during encryption part (i believe it is to be in the keystore) and to use the same for decryption part. Could you please give me a tips how to do this?

How to use the (gigabit) ethernet for data exchange and WLAN for Internet?

I have following setup:
- MB Pro SL 10.6
- Desktop PC Windows 7
- Wireless Printer
- Netgear WLAN Router
At the moment all my data and internet communication is done via the WLAN router on 192.168.1.x That works fine and I can exchange data, print and surf the internet. My problem is that big data exchanges > 10GB take ages via my 54Mbit WLAN Connection. Furthermore the WLAN router is far away from the PC so that it is not possible to plug in the Ethernet Cable of the PC and the MB to the router.
Now I've thought that there must be a possibility to use a 1 gigabit (cross) cable (like in the 90s ;)) to connect the MB and the PC directly. I know that I will need different IP ranges and so on, but I have no clue how to do that.
The final solution should be that the setup stays as it is (data exchange, print, internet via WLAN) and that additional it is possible to connect PC and MAC some times for big transfers via a Gigabit ethernet cable. because I only want to connect those two machines I don't think that a switch makes any sense, or?
Does someone know how to do that?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well if it were 2 Macs, I would configure each Mac with a fixed IP address (same subnet as my router, but outside of the routers DHCP assignment range).
I would give the same fixed IP address to both my Airport AND my ethernet interfaces. I would do the same to the other Mac using another fixed IP address.
My network service order would have the ethernet higher than the Airport on both systems.
Normally I would use WiFi, so ethernet would be idle and out of the loop.
When I wanted faster transfers, I would connect each Mac to the router via their own ethernet cables, and the Mac would automatically detect that the ethernet became available, and would switch to use the faster ethernet. Since Airport and ethernet have the same fixed IP address, I could even do this in the middle of a file transfer and no one would notice as packets were always going to/from the same IP addresses, just using a different route, which doesn't matter.
NOTE: I've been doing this on Macs since Mac OS X 10.3 days (or was it 10.2; to long ago to remember).
However, you have thrown a Windows system into the mix, and since I do not use Windows, I do not have a clue about what can be done on Windows. However, maybe this will give you some ideas, and asking the right questions in a Windows oriented forum may provide the Windows side of this setup.
Sorry, that is the best I can do. Maybe my reply will encourage someone else to offer their approach.

How come a USB will work with both Mac and Windows (as in that there are already files from Windows and Mac can still read and write onto it) but a external Hard Drive won't (as in there are files from Windows on there but Mac can read but not write)?

I have a Seagate Drive that I'm hoping to copy some movies from my Mac onto (because it only has a 512 SSD and I'd rather keep that empty and handy for more readily needed files) but it won't work. It shows up as a drive when connected (with the orange USB drive icon popping up) and is appropirately labeled "FreeAgent Drive", but when I try to copy files onto it it won't work. There are already windows files on there, such as some windows backups and lot's and lot's of pictures and videos. However, I have several USBs which already have windows files on them (namely movies, music, and other stuff) and copying and stuff works fine. Why won't it work with this hard drive and would work with USBs? Please help me out here guys, I am not experienced with Hard disks and formatting and stuff like that. 10 points for whoever helps me out the most. Thanks.

We will need to reformat your EXT, but it will then work on both Mac and Win
Connect the drive to your Mac, open disk utility
Go to the partiton tab and select '1' ... format should be ExFAT ... in options select MBR
Format the drive
It should now work on both OSs; report back

How to make the ValidIf work as a ValidIfNot?

The metric "M1" has two different ColumnDescriptor list. If the dynamic property "version" is 4, then M1's ColumnDescriptor list includes 'C1', 'C2'. If the dynamic properties "version" is not 4, then M1's CoumnDescriptor list includes 'C1', 'C2', 'C3'. Is it possible to make this requirement accomplish?
Thanks,
Satine

Hey Caroy,
Thank you for your help.
I used to make the old requirement like below,
<Metric NAME="M1" TYPE="TABLE" HELP="NO_HELP" >
<ValidIf>
<CategoryProp NAME="version" CHOICES="4.1"/>
</ValidIf>
<TableDescriptor>
<ColumnDescriptor NAME="C1" TYPE="NUMBER" />
<ColumnDescriptor NAME="C2" TYPE="NUMBER" />
</TableDescriptor>
<Metric NAME="M1" TYPE="TABLE" HELP="NO_HELP" >
<ValidIf>
<CategoryProp NAME="version" CHOICES="5.1"/>
</ValidIf>
<TableDescriptor>
<ColumnDescriptor NAME="C1" TYPE="NUMBER" />
<ColumnDescriptor NAME="C2" TYPE="NUMBER" />
<ColumnDescriptor NAME="C3" TYPE="NUMBER" />
</TableDescriptor>
But now the requirement changed that the condition works for second M1 is not only version=5.1, but the version more than 5.1. I don't know how to do that. Could you give my some comments?
Thanks,
Satine

How To Use The Same Library - MacBook Pro's And Windows XP Pro?

Background: I have a fully configured MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.3. Also, I run Windows XP Pro SP3 using Parallels Desktop. My primary iTunes Library and all content is stored on an external hard disk and the iTunes is "pointed" to that location by setting the iTunes' Preferences' Advanced Settings to the full path where the Library is located. Everything I have inside iTunes works perfect - the size if the Library is over 225GB!
BUT, when I install and use iTunes on my Windows XP Pro operating system (under Parallels), the contents of the Library SEEMS to work okay (while I'm in Windows) but the Windows' iTunes Library location in Preferences' Advance Tab is NOT THE SAME LOCATION AS IS THE MAC's LIBRARY LOCATION! It is not at the same location as my main/primary iTunes Library is "pointed to".
The problem occurs when I close Windows and return to the Mac OS X and then try to use my primary iTunes. All of the contents (and any content) within iTunes no longer work! When I attempt to play ANY song, movie, TV show, music video, audiobook, etc., a message pops up saying in effect "Location of 'x' can't be found, do you want to locate it?" I can then click 'yes' and navigate to the Library file that contains the song's file and it will then play fine, as it should. BUT, ONLY THAT SINGLE SONG WILL WORK - THE REMAINING 225GB STILL DON'T WORK!!!
So, I am forced to go into iTunes' Preferences' Advanced tab and click on "Change Location" then navigate to the proper library file (NOTE, THE LOCATION HAD BEEN CHANGED TO THE LOCATION FOR THE WINDOWS' LIBRARY LOCATION!!!)! Doing this corrects the primary iTunes functionality, but only after being forced to deleting the "iTunes Media Folder", quit iTunes, restart iTunes and Consolidate the Library - a whole bunch of steps and time to get back to "normal"!!!!!
Again, this all happens by going into Windows, opening its iTunes, then THAT triggers the entire scenario I've described above - EVERY TIME!
Thus, I avoid iTunes when I go into Windows, but I should NOT have to avoid using iTunes inside Windows! I hope I have described the problem/issues well enough that someone of you experts can provide a practical solution for me.
A potential remedy I've thought of is: Go into Windows' iTunes then go into its Preferences' Advance tab and change ITS location to be the exact same location as the primary Mac OS X's, click OK, then immediately close that iTunes.
          DOES THIS SOUND LIKE IT WILL WORK - I.e., USING THE EXACT SAME LIBRARY LOCATION FOR BOTH iTUNES?????
          IF THIS WOULD WORK, WHAT ELSE MUST I DO TO EITHER iTUNES OR TO BOTH iTUNES TO USE BOTH iTUNES
          USING THE SAME LIBRARY???
Thank you for any suggested solutions - VERY MUCH!

Note that sharing a folder between different OS that use different file paths is not recommended as some files can have an absolute path or other OS specific data.
You can click the Choose Folder button if you want to create or use a folder in a different location.<br />
Make sure to select an empty folder (you need to create this folder in advance) and not a folder that already has files as Firefox will use the specified location in this case.

How to: using the Place command in an action and remember the correct source filename...

I have a large set of product, architecture, and other subject-specific photos, that I’m preparing for a new website; all to be placed in various galleries.
For each photo, I want it to have the same background. If I were doing this manually, I would simply “place” the subject photo into the background, and save it – back to the original photo name.
In other words, doing this manually, PRODUCT_001.TIF gets placed into STANDARD_BKGRND.TIF, (thereby automatically correctly sizing and centering it), and then saving the result back to PRODUCT_001.TIF; either overwriting the original, or into a new folder. (I have the original file somewhere else, and am working with an intermediate copy).
But since I have several hundred photos, how do I create an action (and really – a droplet) that will save the resulting file to the desired name? Typically placing photo ‘PRODUCT_001’ into photo ‘B’, alters photo ‘STANDARD_BKGRND’, so I can’t save the result back to ‘PRODUCT_001’. Said differently, in a droplet, each time it's run saves the result back to the same filename 'STANDARD_BKGRND'.
The end result – I want to apply that droplet to all the PRODUCT_***.TIF files in a given folder, and end up with the same file names as before.
Thanks in advance for your help!

PS - I have no scripting experience in PS, but have written code in other applications/scenarios.

Its great that your products are cutouts layers, Its easy to put cutouts on backgrounds and even add layer style to the product layer to enhance the composite. Still cutouts have size and resolution as do your background images.
When you make composites. A document that is place in or pasted into the current document will be resample to match the current documents DPI resolution to preserve the size of the document being place or pasted in size.
Additionally if your using place if the document being placed in does not fit within the current document's canvas size. Photoshop may scale the image to fit within the canvas. It depends on your user id Photoshop Preference setting.
That means you need you handle the sizes involved.
I would think that you would want the final composite to be the size of the background image.
You need to know its size and dpi resolution. You must use image size on your product image and make the image have the same dpi resolution and a size smaller then the background image. Perhas they have the same dip resolution as the background and are smaller in size. If that the cast their size are good no image resize is required,
Then you need to use canvas size to make the document have the same size and resolution as the background image.
You may want to center the product layer over the canvas however Canvas size will add canvas evenly around the produt layer's layer bounds when you leave the anchor point in the center.
When you then place in the background image it will not be resampled for it has the same dpi resolution as the current document and it will not be scaled for it is an exact canvas size fit. All that remains to be done is move the current placed layer below the product layer
The document name is the product image file name opened by you or by Photoshop automate batch process.

Using the same client for both regfree and out-of-proc COM

Hi,
Here is the context:
1. We have the same set of COM objects that can be deployed as in-proc COM servers (dlls) or out-of-proc COM servers (exe). In-proc servers are called through regfree COM.
2. We have test projects that use the in-proc COM servers through regfree COM.
I would like to use the same test client projects for both regfree and out-of-proc COM servers (but not at the same time). For example, I would like to first run the client using regfree COM, then delete the in-proc dll and register the out-of-proc com server,
and then run the client again without having to recompile. But I have not found a way to do this.
Instead, what I have to do is modify the project settings of the test client project, removing the regfree stuff (the manifest dependencies) before I can use the test client project with the out-of-proc server.
Is there a way to do this without recompiling?
FYI, I have tried regfree COM by changing the client project's Project->Properties->Linker->Manifest file->Additional Manifest Dependencies, or by changing the client project's Project->Properties->Manifest Tool->Input and Output->Additional
Manifest Files. Either way works with regfree COM. And either way I have to remove those settings before making it work with out-of-proc COM (and hence recompiling, which is what I am trying to avoid).
Thanks,
Nick

Try Manifest Tool > Input and Output > Embed Manifest = No, and change Linker > Manifest File > Manifest File to drop ".intermediate" in the middle (or just rename the file after the build).
A manifest doesn't have to be embedded into the executable, it could be a standalone file named like ApplicationName.exe.manifest and sitting in the same directory next to the .EXE. Then you can simply delete or rename it back and forth to switch between
registered and reg-free COM.

How to synchronize the data acquisition from both GPIB and DAQ card

I want to begin/stop acquiring the data from GPIB and PCI6024E card into Labview at the same time. Since the acquisition from GPIB is quite slow comparing to the one from DAQ card, I can not put both of them in the same loop structure. Is it possible to synchronize them?
Thank you!

Hi,
I wanted to save data acquired from NI-DAQ (for example, NI 9234) in a file using the DAQ-mx ANSI C Code. The response I got was as follows:-
One way to do it is with TDMS logging. DAQmx comes with functions designed to log to a TDMS file. This is a special file type that is used for collecting data in a logical format. It can be displayed in a TDMS viewer where data is separated into groups and channels. NI-DAQmx provides examples for how to log to TDMS. Look at the TDMS examples in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DAQmx ANSI C\Analog In\Measure Voltage directory.
However, now I want to know is there a way that using that same C code, can we save the data in a .txt file format (Text File) instead of a TDMS file? We actually want to access that file through MATLAB (that's why we want to save it in text format).
Also on an other note, is there a way we can access & open TDMS files by MATLAB?
Thanks,

If you purchase pages can the purchase work for both macair and iPad

When you purchase pages, can that purchase be placed on mac air and your iPad? If yes how is it done?

Nope.
The products are different, as you are talking about using two different operating systems, OS X and iOS. Each version of pages only operates on the operating system it was designed for.
