Problem with automator

I had uninstalled my automator...
How can I reinstall automator????
Message was edited by: Kchobanyan

do you mean you trashed the Automator application? you can reinstall it from the SL install DVD using Pacifist
http://www.charlessoft.com/
reinstall 10.6.2 combo update after that to bring automator to its current version.

Hi Friends,
I have problem with automated close of ECR.
Description:
I have change number with one object - Inspection Plan.
In CC32 when "Incorrect Change" is set and I click "Erro Corrected" - nothink happen
(it should show popup with information that transaction cc06 was automated started)
After that when i choose "Release Change" - also nothing happen.
(it should shop popup and set status - "Close ECO")
Everything works ok on sandbox system but on Dev/Test/Prod it doesn't work.
Anybody now where could be a problem?
Thank you for any advice.

Anyone else had this problem with automation?

Its quite basic... and there is nothing on this in the manual that i can find in the automation section at all... I have an FM8 track recorded via midi on an instrument track... I put the automation in touch... I press play and record automation in this case on the talk wah "size" and it functions properly (when i let go it resumes the position it was in, and it records the automation data=I can make it visible) The automation will play until i try to record another pass of automation using a different parameter on FM8 which was "mouth" rather than "size" this time... when i try to record the second pass of automation it appears to be playing the other parameter's automation i had just recorded until i actually start automating the new parameter... then it stops playing any previously recorded automation and wont play back ANY automation from there on out... is this a bug anyone has encountered? I just made the switch from pro-tools to logic cuz i hate digi design... but should i upgrade to logic 8 since i bought 7 after august 1st before 8 came out? any suggestions in the meantime would greatly help... i have a deadline for this song by this sunday and this effect really adds alot, it would be greatly appreciated if anyone has encountered this.. and if you cant answer my first question then maybe you know how to record an instrument track to an audio track to where i could perform the effects manually as its recording to an audio track... So far any bussing techniques i know have failed despite the level showing up as if there were signal.. any help would be greatly appreciated
Desperate Composer

I rarely record automation, and when I do I never do a second pass (usually hand draw automation in) but I have had problems with Logic 7 no longer playing back automation. I've been told its fixed in Logic 8, but in the mean time here is a work around.
Select the region where the automation is (if there is no region, create one using the pencil tool and expand it to cover all automation) and go OPTIONS menu -> TRACK AUTOMATION -> "Move current track data to region data." Now everything should play back as expected. If you want to edit the data, simply select "move current region data to track data" and edit away.
For some reason, Logic 7 will sometimes stop reading track automation data, but I have yet to have it stop reading region automation. This is a bug, and according to other users, has been fixed in Logic 8. Hope this helps until we eventually upgrade

Problems with automation....

Hey,
So I have this problem pretty frequently when other people bring their logic sessions over to my studio, but it has never happened before in my own projects. I keep everything very organized in my audio bin, etc.
Every time I open an existing logic session, I save it as whatever date it may be. So I have one song saved as "Song_1-11-11" - "Song_1-15-11" etc... The other day I opened the most recent saved file and all my automation was moved. Besides my automation being moved, I'm also hearing audio from the song in the beginning of the song where it shouldn't be as well as the end. I read this was a common problem with Logic 7, but I'm running on logic pro 9 and I have no idea why this is happening.
Any advice would be much appreciated... Is it something with the fade files or something??
Thanks!

Hi smercurio_fc,
originally i had a dll written in c++ which contained classes - i wrapped this in a activex control to have access via labview. Im calling the activex control with the automation open function in same VI in which i am also using property nodes and invoke nodes to have access to the classes and methods...
But as i told before, it happens that Automation Open fails, when starting the VI again after closing(saving), even so it was working perfectly fine before...
Thanks for your response...

Problem with Automated Tasks

Hi all,
At this moment I'm testing a cartridge deployed in OSM7 that is installed in Solaris Spark. The cartridge contains processes that include Automated Tasks with XQuery Sender Automator Internal to send a message to a queue JMS. In some of the Automated Task, when try to execute de XQuery Sender doesn't occur anything, the message is not putted in the queue and in the log doesn't appear any error.
I created 3 orders in OSM, and checking all the WebLogic console I can see the next:
1. In the worklist of OSM appear the 3 orders with column "State=Received" and doesn't have anything in the column "User", (I think this mean that the automator has not started).
2. In the WebLogic console -> JMSModules -> "oms_jms_module" -> "oms_events" ->Monitoring, I can see 3 messages "Pending" that correspond to each order created.
3. The Orchestration Plan "Seen in the osmwebui" is OK.
Note1: When I test the same cartridge deployed in OSM7 installed in Windows I don't have the problem.
Note2: This doesn't occur always, sometimes the JMS Message is putted in the queue and the flow of the order continues in the right way.
Thanks a lot for any suggestion.

Ramiro;
From what you are describing, it sounds as if the automation plugin is not deployed - hence the reason why the task you are intending to automate just stays in the received state.
I would suggest you start by undeploying and then redeploying your cartridge.
Of course this doesn't explain your Note2, but worth trying the above in any case.
Can you tell me how you are submitting the order and what release of OSM you are on?
Thanks,
Brian.

Problems with Automator in Lion's text to audio action

So, I'm trying to become more productive by turning stuff I don't have time to read into something I can listen to in the car. I created the following Automator script, but every time I run it, it crashes.
Here's the first part of the problem reporter. Interestingly, if I use a different action to get the text (e.g. take it from the frontmost TextEdit window), no problems whatsoever. The text is converted to text and added to the playlist. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it ?

Problems with automation open for activex control

Hi,
I want to open an ActiveX Control (.ocx-file) with the Automation Open function. This .ocx file was successfully registered by using regsvr32.
The VI is working fine after using Automation Open and all the contained classes are accessible.
However, after saving the VI and opening it again the error 2147221164 appears and the program failes - referencing the object new at the Automation Open functions solves the problem, but only till the next reopening of the VI.
Hope somebody has a solution for this "instability"...
Sorry for bothering and thanks for any help!!!

Solve TM problem with Automator?

I have my iMac shut down every weekday morning to prevent overheating during the day while I'm at work. It works fine except for 2 problems.
The first is that if FF has more than one tab open, it hangs the shutdown by asking if I want to allow FF to close, waiting for user input. I can turn this feature off in FF, but I'd prefer not to. Can Automator help with this?
The second problem is that when the computer shuts down, the TM external hard drive (Maxtor One Touch 120G) doesn't shut down properly, and when I reboot, TM fails to back up. I have to manually shut off TM, turn off the TM menulet, eject the TM drive, then restart it and turn TM back on. Can Automator turn off TM and eject the drive on a timer so that the shut down doesn't foul up TM? Maybe even restart TM when I start up?
If Automator can't do all this, can Applescript?

Would like to address that somehow. That's why I posted.
As for putting it to sleep instead of shutting down, that's exactly what I don't want to do. It'll go to sleep by itself after an hour, but it won't prevent it from overheating on a hot day, since it will still be running.
Does anyone have any other ideas?

Having problems with automator and setting up universal keyboard shortcut

I have set up a service in automator to open quicktime, new audio capture, start capture. I named it "launch quicktime." I then when in to system preferences and went to the keyboard shortcuts section. I have tried in both services, and in application shortcuts to use my "launch quicktime" with the keyboard shortcut control + esc. I test it out in various applications and it doesn't work until I go to the top of said app for example safari and then go to services and select my launch quicktime. From that time on it works great. If I close safari and then relaunch it, it forgets that keyboard shortcut. What gives? I just want to be able to hit 2 keystrokes and have it launch quickime and begin an audio recording. Would greatly appreciate any help out there as to why it doesn't remember my keyboard shortcut.
Cheers,
Jon

BUG: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS DO NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE A SERVICE (A WORKFLOW)
When you assign a keyboard shortcut to a Service (such as a Service Workflow created in Automator) using the System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, if that shortcut key combination includes the Command key, pressing that shortcut will always successfully activate the Service. No problem there.
However, shortcut key combinations that do not include the Command key (for example, the shortcut key combo Ctrl-Shift-D) WILL NOT activate the Service in any newly opened application, until you click on the Services Menu option in that application.
For more info, see THIS THREAD.

Problems with Automator since OSX 10.6.5 update

Hi All,
I've had an automator job running for a few months that is essentially very simple.
It gets a specified URL -> displays that webpage -> pauses for 1 min -> quits
I keep it running on my Mac as a separate user logged in (so it doesn't disturb my main session) scheduled via iCal.
But since the OSX 10.6.5 it no longer works in this fashion. If I switch to that user after the time of running I find Safari has crashed and needs to be force quit and the automator script in a state of failure (as it can't quit it).
If I run the script from that user whilst logged in it works without fault. It is only when that user is left running whilst I am in another session that it fails. It's only started after I applied the 10.6.5 update, I've tried clearing the safari cache - but I just can't make it work now.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm. I have noticed a slight problem (see below), but not as severe as this.
My contacts have not disappeared from my iPhone.
And I have just successfully created a test contact on my desktop (which is subscribed to Address Book Server on my server) and watched it sync across to my iPhone. So it's not totally broken. And can delete the contact on the iPhone and watch it disappear on the desktop a few seconds later.
However, it doesn't work if the new contact is not in any groups. A test contact in no group doesn't sync across. Which is a bit odd.

Problem with automated height/width after applying effect

Hey guys,
I have a panel that automatically resizes after some other contents is being added. All the time there is a scale-effect. Whenever I move the mouse over any of those children they zoom in and there the height & width of the parent container automatically resizes.
However I have a minimize button for that one along with a resize effect. I can resize the complete container to a minimize size (e.g. 40x40), but when I resize back with the same effect, the panel does not automatically resizes with added children anymore.
I did not set any special properties on the panel from the beginning, but some property must be different now. It is not "autoLayout" and also the "percentageWidth/Height" does not work properly as that command will cause the panel to stretch over the complete stage. Any suggestions here?

Mmmh...that does not seem to solve the issue for me. Even when setting the width and height to NaN before the effect is played, it will still lead to a fixed height and width of the parent panel container. When I add new children the parent container is not properly resized, means that the chiildren just go beyond the parent container's border.
Setting these parameters after the effect is done leads to the following crash: ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.

Multi batch renaming with automator

Hi, everybody!
Hope I can find help in this section. Else, please forgive me if I posted in the wrong place...
I find myself in this situation.
I have many pdf's I need to transform into JPG's, but of course I need the name to be "meaningful". Each pdf contains 30 to 100 "sheets", that is to say it will produce from 30 to 100 jpgs
No problem with Automator and pdf-to-jpg.
Original pdf name: meaningless (something like "Scan_01")
JPG needed format: PREF_XXXXXX_EYY_S#
prefix is (by now) fixed: MAD
XXXXXX : a 6-digit progressive number BUT it has to increase each 4 jpg's
EYY: a progressive number that could be even set by hand, as it indicates the "Envelope" from which pdf's were scanned
S# : a number ranging from 1 to 4
Just to be clear (I hope), here is an example of how a correct output should look like:
MAD_123456_E01_S1
MAD_123456_E01_S2
MAD_123456_E01_S3
MAD_123456_E01_S4
MAD_123457_E01_S1
MAD_123457_E01_S2
MAD_123457_E01_S3
MAD_123457_E01_S4
MAD_123458_E01_S1
and so on.
Of course the point is not to prepend "MAD_" or whatever, and the "EYY" thing can go anywhere in the name (even after "MAD_"): I really don't know how to set a counter to switch from xxxxx1 to xxxxx2 each time S# reaches "S4" and, meanwhile, to reset "S#" to "S1".
Any advice on how to do that?

If I understand you correctly, you have a bunch of files that have been converted to jpg, and just want to rename them starting with a specified sequence. The folowing Run AppleScript added to your workflow should be close - it extracts the name pieces from a dialog so that they can be manipulated and reassembled. There isn't any error checking, it just assumes the format of the name is the same as the default answer:
property divider : "_" -- the character dividing the name pieces
on run {input, parameters}
     set output to {}
     set theAnswer to text returned of (display dialog "Enter starting sheet name:" default answer "MAD_123456_E01_S1")
     # break the name apart at divider - format is assumed to be the same as the default answer
     set {tempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, divider}
     set {prefix, survey, envelope, page} to text items of theAnswer
     set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tempTID
     # extract numbers
     set envelope to text -2 thru -1 of envelope
     set page to (text -1 of page) - 1
     repeat with anItem in the input
          set page to page + 1
          if page > 4 then
               set page to 1
               set survey to survey + 1
          end if
          set theEnvelope to "E" & text -2 thru -1 of ("00" & envelope) -- leading zero
          set thePage to "S" & page
          tell application "Finder"
               set name of anItem to prefix & divider & survey & divider & theEnvelope & divider & thePage & ".jpg"
               set end of output to anItem as alias
          end tell
     end repeat
     return output
end run
Edit: I am a he, by the way.

Moving files to the Trash with Automator

I'm having some problems with Automator, and I'm hoping it's just a simple step I'm missing.
I have a list (text file) of a group of files I wish to remove from a folder (about 650 or so files, from a folder of about 8000). I have been able to get Automator to read the text file, and show me the result.
(Ask for Finder Items (Files & Folders), Combine Text Files (Text), Filter Paragraphs [Return Paragraphs That Are Not Empty] (text))
This results in showing me my list of files I wish to remove.
I don't quite get how to pass this list on to the Finder to tell it to select these files, and move them to the trash.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Since your text file just has the names, an action is needed to build the complete file path. Most of Apple's text and file actions don't use variables, but a Run AppleScript action can be used to fill in the blank. Give this workflow a try (I haven't tested it with a large number of files, so I don't know how slow it will be):
1) Ask for Finder Items {Files} -- choose the text file
2) Combine Text FIles
3) Filter Paragraphs {Return paragraphs that are not empty}
4) Run AppleScript -- paste the following script:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters} -- build file paths from a list of names
set output to {}
set SkippedItems to {}
set TheFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Select the folder containing the files:") as text
repeat with AnItem in the input
try
set AnItem to (TheFolder & AnItem)
get AnItem as alias -- test
set the end of the output to the result
on error
set the end of SkippedItems to AnItem
end try
end repeat
if SkippedItems is not {} then
display alert "Error with AppleScript action" message ((count SkippedItems) as text) & " items were skipped (file not found)"
end if
return output
end run</pre>
5) Move Finder Items to Trash

Problems with discover Nodes

I have problems with autom. discover of nodes.The services Man.server and agent are started, but i get
the errormsg:Discovery failed:VNI-4009: Cannot contact agent on the node.
Can someone help me.
Thanks.

what os are you running?
on my linux box, what i did was to delete *.q and services.ora from $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent then manually put in my instance in tnsnames.ora using the example used in http://www.mike-devlin.com/oracle/tnsnames_ora.htm. i made sure that the instance was up then ran lsnrctl start and agentctl start. OMS was able to discover my database automatically after that.
i do have a feeling that you are using Win2k/XP, but the files i mentioned can be located in the same directory. instead of lsnrctl start and agentctl start, you can go to Administrative Tools>Sevices and start OracleOra92TNSListener and OracleOra92Agent
i would recommend, however, trying to use netca when recreating the tnsnames.ora. it just didn't work with mine so i had to do it manually.

Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding.

Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding. However when I close Nunit, the page is back to be normal. The title is returned to the name of website without "not responding". I sure this problem did not happen on Firefox version 26. I just got this problem when firefox upgrading automatically to version 27. Please help me fix this problem because it is very important for my work. If you need more information pls send your concerns via my email address.
Thanks so much

Hi, the work around suggested above should put you in working mode in the meantime. However to help investigate the issue it is possible to analyze what is not loading or taking a long time by analyzing the network traffic or http headers of the Nunit web page.
