Reference external .js

How do I reference a library of functions saved in an external .js file from within an xdp. The manual says there is something called folder level or user-level scripts in %user profile%/application data. How do I call those files once they are in the folder?

I've been wondering about similar things myself, but then extending the issue to rendering in Livecycle Forms and still being able to reference a library. It's difficult to reference to a script in a user folder if the form should be rendered to x number of people that have no need and knowledge of the script. Anyone knows of how to do that?

(I only want to give USER2 access to two of the four columns.)As you have demonstrated, I guess the view approach only works for database tables. External tables are actually files on the file system. Even through OS, it is not possible to grant READ/WRITE access to only part of the file. The access is for entire file. An "External Table" is just a "wrapper" provided by oracle (using data cartridge) to allow user to be able to access the file as a "table". So it can definitely not do something that underlying OS can not do.
    p.s. In fact, oracle does not even allow to edit data in external tables using SQL.Why not just make a second external table (only including the 2 columns you need) and grant select directly on that to the user. I know you say "views only" but there's an exception to every rule ... just because it's called a table doesn't make it so. You could argue an external table is nothing more than a fancy view.
    Worst case, make a view on top of the second external table.

  • Can i reference external flex-config in flexunit ant task?

    flexunit gurus,
    i'm trying to figure out how to best specify the compiler arguments for the flexunit ant task in flexunit 4.1 beta 1.  from the documentation i see this sample flexunit usage:
    <flexunit workingDir="${bin.loc}" toDir="${report.loc}"
    haltonfailure="false" verbose="true" localTrusted="true">
    <testSource dir="${main.src.loc}" />
    <testSource dir="${test.src.loc}">
    <include name="**/*Test.as" />
    </testSource>
    <library dir="${lib.loc}" />
    </flexunit>
    in this example, the source and library paths are explicitly listed.  in this simple example all the needed libraries reside within a single directory.
    when i build my application, i use a custom flex-config.xml file, as the following snippet shows:
            <mxmlc file="${application.file}" output="${swf.debug.file}" debug="true" headless-server="${headless.server}">
                <load-config filename="${flex.config.file}" />
            </mxmlc>
    in that custom flex-config.xml file i list all the build options (e.g. source dirs, library paths, theme, etc.) appropriate for building the application.  the libraries i reference are in a number of different directories (in general each 3rd party library is in a different directory).
    in the flexunit task, i could individually reference all the same libraries that are in the flex-config.xml, but that'd be a pain to keep them in sync.  i suppose i also could parse the flex-config.xml to extract the library information and use that to populate the library argument.  really what i want to say in the flexunit task is "build all source and tests as indicated in flex-config.xml, then run the tests", perhaps with a syntax like the following:
    <flexunit workingDir="${bin.loc}"  toDir="${report.loc}"
    haltonfailure="false" verbose="true" localTrusted="true">
                <load-config filename="${flex.config.file}" />
    <testSource dir="${test.src.loc}">
    <include name="**/*Test.as" />
    </testSource>
    <library dir="${flexunit.lib}" />
    </flexunit>
    i'd rather keep the flex-config.xml file free of any test specific information, so ideally i'd specify the path to the flexunit swc's and the test path in the flexunit task (as in the above example).
    is there support for such usage currently or planned for in the future?  recommendations on how best to accomplish my goal of not duplicating library information already present in a custom flex-config.xml?
    thanks.
    -mike

    hi brian,
    thanks for your response.
    i understand the desire to avoid re-implementing the flex sdk ant tasks.  i'm not sure that can reasonably be accomplished wihen the TestRunner is dynamically generated from within the flexunit task.  in addition to the source path and library path, the theme setting and namespaces settings can affect successful compilation, and the runtime-shared-library-path setting can affect whether the produced swf runs correctly.
    perhaps there's an alternative.  what if we separate the creation of the TestRunner.mxml from the compilation and the execution of the tests.  if flexunit offers an ant task that can produce (but not run) a TestRunner.mxml, i can write the mxmlc task that compiles it properly, and then i can invoke the old style flexunit specifying the swf argument.  this would still accomplish my primary goal of not needing to manually enumerate every test file in a TestRunner.mxml that i have to maintain (and which neither Flash Builder nor maven builds require).  to compile the TestRunner.mxml, i'd load in my custom flex-config.xml, then append to the source path and library path to include my test directory and flexunit libraries.
    maybe something like the following to create the TestRunner:
    <generatetestrunner output="${bin.loc}/TestRunner.mxml">
              <testSource dir="${test.dir}">
                 <include name="**/*Test.as" />
              </testSource>
    </generatetestrunner>
    thoughts?
    one other thing i noticed about the current library argument to flexunit is that it assumes a directory even if you provide an explicit path to an swc (i tried switching <library dir...> to <library file...> but that didn't seem to make a difference).  in my case, there are specific swc's i need in the library path, and the task assuming i mean a directory when i specify an explicit swc is problematic.  the directory my swc libraries are contained in sometimes contain multiple and conflicting versions of a library (each library directory contains various snapshot builds of the library).  i need a way to explicitly indicate which library to use.
    finally, could you point me to the java source for the flexunit ant tasks?  i've found the flexunit action script source ok but haven't found where the java ant task is defined.
    thanks.

  • Reference external library movieclip in library with AS3

    Hello, i am able to load at runtime a library asset in flash
    cs3. i do this by setting up its linkage property and setting its
    base class. for eg
    Class: MyButton
    Base: flash.display.MovieClip
    then in my document class, say i had
    com.kofi.InitializeTemplate, my class looks like this
    package com.kofi

    var testButton:MyButton;
    public function InitializeTemplate():void
    trace("the button class has been called");
    testButton = new MyButton();
    addChild(testButton);
    however, once i bring in an external library asset(which i
    have already exported and set it base class etc), i am unable to
    call this shared library asset with as3. anyone know what i am
    talking about?

    Hi Sigiswald,
    well it seems SAP also considers that a bug, if you go to the Service marketplace -> Support Packages and Patches -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER -> SAP NETWEAVER 2004S -> Entry by Component -> Development Infrastructure, there is a SAP_BUILDT SP09 Patch 1 referring to note 993799 which says:
    "Jar files, especially from development components with type "External Library" are not assembled into the WDA archive for Web Dynpro development components."
    Are you using the original SP09 version or this patch?

  • Grant a user the select permission on a view that references external objects

    Hi all,
    SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition SP2.
    I've a database (let's say SRC_DB) that contains a series of views, some of these views refercenses tables or other views in other databases (let's say EXT_DB). I'm searching the best way to grant a user permission to SELECT from that view without granting
    permission to every single obejct in external databases referenced by the view.

    There is a dmv that tells you all the referenced views and tables. you can use that to get the list of all the tables,views being referenced in the cross database and them scrip the to grant only on those views\tables.
    the link  is here:  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb677315.aspx
    example from the link that woulf work for your suitation:

  • ADF application unable to reference external jar deployed as library

    I am using jdeveloper 11.1.1.3.
    My problem is as folows : I have a JAR deployed in weblogic 11g as a library and i want my ADF application to refer it as this inhouse developed library has some utility methods in it.
    In my ADF application i have referenced the library in weblogic-application.xml as below..
    <library-ref>

    But still my my jsps are failing to compile
    Please guide me on how to provide library reference while deployment.
    Zeeshan

    Hi Zee,
    Try to select the "Deployed by Default" option on the Library.
    Just to see if the application is working on the server.
    If It is working, it seems that the application can't find the library.... on the weblogic server.
    Then unselect the "Deployed by Default" option on the Library.
    And try to add
    <library-ref>
    <library-name>beansCBB</library-name>
    <exact-match>false</exact-match>
    </library-ref>
    in the "weblogic.xml" file
    Please confirm that the name of the Library (on the server\Deployments) is "beansCBB".
    When you have deployed the library on the weblogic server, did you select the same "server" (when asking to Select deployment targets) ???
    Regards

  • External entity reference while parsing DTD

    I am using Oracle 8.1.7 to parse a DTD using xmlparser in PL/SQL.
    My DTD references external entities. Now the question is how to let the parser know the location of these external entities.
    setBaseURL and setBaseDir doe not seem to work. I have to tell the parser to look for all necessary entities in a particular folder. Can somebody answer with a sample code for this problem.
    Any Idea' would be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Prakash

    Hey Niels...
    That *shouldn't* be happening if you're using an unmodified FM8 install .. especially with creating a new file. It sounds like something has gone awry in your install. This will often happen if the doctype declaration in the XML file is defined as a system resource rather than with a public ID (but that shouldn't be happening unless you're creating the file with another editor or using a file created by someone else).
    Some things to check ..
    - Open the DITA > Options dialog .. is "DITA-Topic-FM" selected as the "Topic application"?
    - When you open a file from disk, do you select "DITA-Topic-FM" as the structure application? (You may not get an option to do so .. that's OK.)
    - Choose .. Structure Tools > Edit Application Definitions .. locate the XMLApplication node that is labeled "DITA-Topic-FM" .. below that you'll see entries for Template, DTD, and Read/write rules. Check that the files specifed actually exist at the locations specified (note that "$STRUCTDIR" maps to the FrameMaker/Structure/ folder).
    - Have you installed FrameMaker in a "nonstandard" location?
    I may be missing something obvious, but this is probably a good start.
    Cheers,

    The problem is NOT the fact that it is a USB 3.0 drive, as USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. The problem is specific to Toshiba Canvio portable drives. They only work if you use a micro-USB2 cable instead of the included USB 3.0 cable. This problem does NOT affect other USB 3.0 portable drives (Seagate, Western Digital, etc.), and they work fine with USB 3.0 cables.
    Once again, you need a micro-USB2 cable for the Toshiba to mount.

  • Links to external files don't work

    Hello
    Using RH 8.02 and converting linked Word docs (Word 2002) to WebHelp. These are policies and procedures that reference external documents.
    In my Word doc I have a hyperlink to an external document. This doc is on a network server. In Word I added the hyperlink and it appeared as a relative path, such as ../RelatedDocs/RelDoc1.doc.
    The referenced file is an external file, and I don't want to add it to RH because it may be updated; I just want to link to it so that a user gets the latest version.
    When I update the HTML files in RH I see this in my HTML file:
    <a href="file:////terminus/avbase_techsupport/av-base documents/supportmaster/documentationshare/relateddocs/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
    This is the correct absolute path for the referenced file. Note the file://// prefix, with four forward slashes.
    When I generate WebHelp, the link doesn't work. Nothing happens.
    I tried the following:
    1. Copied the whole path into my Windows Start > Run box and hit Enter. Nothing happens.
    2. Removed two of the forward slashes and copied it again into the Run box. Now the file opens in Word.
    I also tried removing the hyperlinks from the Word docs and adding them through RH instead. Same result.
    Why does RH add four forward slashes to the prefix? What can I do to get these external links working?
    Thanks for your help.
    Roger Shuttleworth
    London, Canada

    Hello Peter
    I apologize for taking so long to respond. I just received a new computer with Vista and have had to set it up. Here is what happens:
    1. In Word, I have a doc policy1.doc that contains a hyperlink to reldoc1.doc. The two files are in different folders. When I insert the link, Word shows it as a relative path ../RelatedDocs/reldoc1.doc. When I hover over it in the Word doc, it shows as an absolute path starting with file:///\\theserver, etc.
    2. My RH project includes policy1.doc but not reldoc1.doc. I update policy1.doc in RH. In the HTML topic file (HTML view) the link is:
    <a href="file:////theserver/path/reldoc1.doc">Link text</a>. Note the four forward slashes.
    3. I save all project files and generate WebHelp.
    4. In the resultant web page (in Firefox), I click the link in policy1 and nothing happens. The status bar shows the path the same as above.
    5. I navigate to the output !SSL! and find the index page, and open it in Internet Explorer 8. The link shows in the status bar as file://theserver/path/reldoc1.doc, and when clicked IE opens the Word doc.
    So in this case Firefox doesn't open the link but IE does.
    Here is another scenario:
    1. I have no links in myWord docs.
    2. I generate topic files in RH using the linked Word docs.
    3. In RH, in the HTML file for policy1 (policy1.htm) I add a link to reldoc1.doc. I choose the file protocol. RH asks me if I want to copy the doc into the project folder, and I say No.
    4. I check the HTML for policy1.htm and see that it has the link as follows:
    <a href="file://J:/Documents/rest of folder path/RelDoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
    (Going to Hyperlink Properties shows the same path.) Note the two forward slashes.
    5. I save all files in the project and click Generate Primary Layout (which is WebHelp). A dialog asks if I want to update <some file or other, but I can't see which one because that darned dialog box is too small, but I expect it's policy1.htm>.
    6. I say No. The output is generated and I view it in Firefox. The link works and has a path in the status bar as:
    <a href="file://J:/Documents/rest of folder path/RelDoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
    Note the three forward slashes.
    7. I view the index.htm file in IE and it works.
    As a variant of the above, instead of saying No when asked if I want to update the file, I say Yes.
    1.The HTML of policy1.htm now shows the link as:
    <a href="file:////server/rest of path/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
    Note the four forward slashes again.
    2. The link is as shown in the status bar of Firefox is now set to:
    <a href="file:////server/rest of path/reldoc1.doc">Related Doc 1</a>
    It doesn't work.
    2. The same link shown in IE status bar has two forward slashes (even though the source has four), and it works.
    So in answer to your question, the link definitely changes within RH. The two browsers deal with things differently, with IE seeing a file://// link as file://.
    Incidentally, I did some research on the file:// protocol and came up with:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Issues_:_Links_to_Local_Pages_Don%27t_Work
    The answer seems to be:
    1. Add the links within RH.
    2. Don't update when generating output.
    3. If possible, get users to use IE instead of FF.
    Either way, it's not very satisfactory for my purposes.

  • External Jars referencing error

    I followed all the following steps which were discussed in forum to referencemy 9 external jars, my DC build was succeded in NWDI and has been deployed onto portal server. I got error message "DeploymentException:Clusterwide Exception:Failed to prepare application.....check the reference....." while running that ear file from portal.
    Steps i followed to reference external library:
    1) Created externallibrary DC, plces jars and made them as public (<b>here i made one public part for all jars, do i need to create different public part for different jars)...</b>
    2) Created library DC and added the above DC as used dc for build time and runtime reference,then deployed onto server i can see the service in visual admin with alljars in it.
    3) Created webdynpro DC and added above library DC as used DC, I added library reference tooo, build was succeded and above getting runtime error. <b>Iam giving the exact reference which is copied from visual admin.</b>
    I removed the library reference but iam still getting the same error.we running on NW'04s SP8,Any help is appreciated.

    "you need public part with type "compilation". Also you need to open project properties, go to "Web Dynpro References -> Web Dynpro Application" and add run-time reference to DC that exposes component"

  • DAM References

    I have a question regarding the DAM asset references. When the author references (drag and drop) an image to any of the CQ pages, DAM stores the page reference per the asset/image. How can I control this behavior? We would like to use DAM for Digital Asset Management (storing enterprise wide images, documents, videos, etc) and all the application (which includes CQ applications and as well as some other web applications which are NON CQ apps like Java custom web applications) use these assets (reference these assets). When someone try to rename or delete the asset, how would I display the references (External refernces) - DAM stores the external references as well? How can I best make use of DAM for enterprise wide usuage?
    Please throw some ideas on how it works actually and which classes or handlers or workflows should be changed to store these external references and how Can I enable DAM to outside CQ apps.
    Thanks
    KC

    The first thing you mentioned...
    where external applications can reference DAM assets
    ...is possible, out of the box.  You can reference DAM assets by making HTTP GET requests to them (i.e. http://server:port/content/dam/path/to/my/dam/asset).  You can also make POSTs to them (or any content) to update their metadata as well, assuming your POST request is authenticated appropriately.
    The second thing you mentioned...
    DAM authors would be able to see those reference when they are trying to edit or delete the assets
    ...requires some significant customization.  The APIs set up to resolve "references" in CQ are references that are internal to the content repository.  External references will not be accounted for.  This is what I meant when I said that CQ/CRX has no knowledge of what is externally making requests to retrieve content (in your case, DAM assets).
    Not knowing the details of your environment and what exactly will be referencing the DAM from outside CQ, it's difficult to outline an approach in too much detail.  I think, at a high level, you'll need to create some kind of contract between CQ and these external systems.  You will have to build something custom in the DAM interface that can ask these external systems if a specific DAM asset is being used.  You need this contract so that CQ can interface with external systems the same way every time (I'm assuming each one of these systems has different API and/or means of data retrieval).  By creating this intermediary service that standardizes the interface from CQ's perspective, you can kind of "plug in" the different external apps that need to be accounted for.  This probably requires substantial effort to accomplish. 
    Again, this is high-level and not completely thought through, but conceptually does it make sense?  This is how I would probably start approaching the problem.

  • Version/Referenced File name changes and managing reference files.

    I had an issue with wrong version names for reasons of my own DAM workflow. I changed the name in the metadata portion of Aperture and changed the name in the drive the has the referenced files for the versions (and there are no duplicated versions, etc). When I go to manage the referenced files, I get the old version names popping up in the manage reference files window/dialog. the names I want show up elsewhere in Aperture and on the reference external drive, but not in the manage reference files dialog. Is there a way to ensure that all of Aperture knows my new version names and new referenced file names?

    Oh, and I did restart the application, but not the machine.

  • Access issue relating to external content types

    Hi,
    I was recently given permissions in the Central Administration to edit external content types. However, when I open Sharepoint Designer and click on External Content types, I am unable to view the existing external content types that was created by another
    site collection admin. The message I see is "There are no items to show in this view." I have the same permission level as this admin.
    Any suggestion in regards to resolving this?
    Thanks in advance!

  • VLOOKUP external file range

    When using VLOOKUP in Excel, I could reference a range in a different Excel file. Can't seem to do that in Numbers. Is it possible?

    Thanks Jerry. I was afraid this would be the answer. I believe I have a work-around for now, and I've submitted the following request to Apple at your suggestion:
    I recently purchased a 27" iMac and am in the process of migrating as much of my workflow to Mac OS as possible. For the rest, I'm using VMWare Fusion with a Windows 7 VM. In my opinion this combination makes an ideal platform to do just about anything.
    However, in my business of designing and manufacturing electronic products, I need to manage inventory of a large number of items used to build the circuit boards I design. I have a master parts database and many bills of material - all in Excel spreadsheets. I use the VLOOKUP function extensively to coordinate data between the BOM's and the master parts list. The requires the lookup columns range to be in an external file.
    Unfortunately, I apparently cannot reference an external file from the VLOOKUP function in Numbers '09 as I can in Microsoft Excel. BUMMER!!! I would really like to migrate this process to MAC OS, but now I'm stuck.
    BOTTOM LINE: In the next version of iWork, please include the ability to reference external files from within functions such as VLOOKUP.
