3rd party software tools to automate Weblogic deployments/release process

Folks,
I'm currently evaluating few 3rd party software tools to automate Weblogic deployments/release process - software release automation.
if someone has used products from Xepialabs , UC4 or Urbandeploy etc - can you advise how effective these are please?..
We have around 25+ enterprise level release environments based on Oracle weblogic on solaris and it is manual deployments via wlst scripts etc.
Also any ideas/suggestion on opensource projects would be great as well.
I will be really grateful if you can respond.
Regards,
Saha

Why not use the CLI and do it that way? i don't know it AppleScript hooks into the terminal and/or can run terminal commands but that may be worth looking into as well.
I would think that it would be a good idea to erase all your drives in the RAID at once and start fresh. Why not back up the internal to a pair of RAIDED external FW800 drives, add the second drive in the Mac, make the internal RAID by formatting both drives and then copy the external RAID back to the internal RAID? Oops, I know, now we have a step 4.
Nobody from Apple ever comments here. We are all users, just like yourself, that just want to help.

Calling 3rd party softwar from ABAP

hi all,
I would like to know is it possible, if yes, how to perform a call to launch external 3rd party software from ABAP (example, half way in process of a BDC session) and pass back the information from 3rd party software back to ABAP.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
JL

Hi,
For that please refer to the following link:

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama).

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama). Installation required that I create a super user named Other with root privileges. I did so and successfully installed the 3rd party software. I powered down a few days late and when I restarted, I went automatically to my Administrator account with no login password required. I deleted the Other account, powered down and restarted with the same result - opened in Administrator. I then followed the steps to disable root user, powered down, cold restart - same result, opened in Administrator account.
Any suggestions? Any thoughts? Much appreciate any help you might offer.

Automator - Loop through a text file and process data through a 3rd party software

Just stumbled on Automator the other day (I am a mac n00b) and would like to automate the processing of a text file, line-by-line, using a third party tool. I would like Automator to loop through the text file one line at a time, copy the string and keep as a variable. Next, place the variable data (copied string) into the text field of the 3rd party software for processing. Once the processing is complete, I would like Automator to fetch the next line/string for processing. I see items like "copy from clipboard" and "variables" within the menu but I am not finding much documentation on how to utilizle this tool. Just hear how potentially powerful it is.
The 3rd party software is not a brand name, just something made for me to process text. I may have to use mouse clicks or tabs + [return] to navigate with Automator. A term I heard on Bn Walldie's itunes video series was "scriptable software" for which I don't think this 3rd party app would be.
Kind regards,
jw

Good news and bad news...
The good news is that it should be entirely possible to automate your workflow.
The bad news is that it will be a nightmare to implement via Automator, if it's even possible.
Automator is, essentially a pretty interface on top of AppleScript/Apple Events, and with the pretty interface comes a certain stranglehold on features. Knowing how to boil rice might make you a cook, but understanding flavor profiles and ingredient combinations can make you a chef, and it's the same with AppleScript and Automator. Automator's good at getting you from points A to B but if there are any bumps in the road (e.g. the application you're using isn't scriptable) then it falls apart.
What I'm getting at is that your requirements are pretty simple to implement in AppleScript because you can get 'under the hood' and do exactly what you want, as opposed to Automator's restricted interface.
The tricky part is that if no one else can see this app it's going to be hard to tell you what to do.
I can give you the basics on reading a file and iterating through the lines of text in it, and I can show you how to 'type' text in any given application, but it may be up to you to put the pieces together.
Here's one way of reading a file and working through each line of text:
-- ask the user for a file:
set theFile to (choose file)
-- read the file contents:
set theFileContents to (read file theFile)
-- break out the lines/paragraphs of text:
set theLines to paragraphs of theFileContents
-- now iterate through those lines, one by one:
repeat with eachLine in theLines
-- code to perform for eachLine goes here
end repeat
Once you have a line of text (eachLine in the above example) you can 'type' that into another application via something like:
tell application "AppName" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AppName"
keystroke eachLine
end tell
end tell
Here the AppleScript is activating the application and using System Events to emulate typing the contents of the eachLine variable into the process. Put this inside your repeat loop and you're almost there.

Raising a notification from 3rd party software

Hi
We have a client looking at raising notifications within the asset management system of SAP via a sql/.net software application. The 3rd party software has a defect register which could be used to open the SAP notification. We would like to populate the fields automatically when the notification is opened.
Is there a current feature within SAP to raise single or multiple notifications via a 3rd party application?
Cheers
Russell

Hi russel,
Things are where they were.
Any Function Module(BAPI here) is the ABAP part. So the solution involves 3 parties. The BAPI suggested helps in creating a Notification by receiving parameters as Inputs. Where these parameters come from? These come from 3rd party software (you called so) through interface (XI here)
Flow is like this.
Interface (XI) - Receives parameters from your Browser (assumed you called it 3rd party) and translates into SAP field names and values.
ABAP - Receives these inputs, feeds to the BAPI the output of which is a Notification.
Note:
BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE is a Notification creation tool (Function module) in ABAP. This receives SAP field values as inputs and generates a Notification. It has got a wide range of applications in regular SAP developments.

Using stock apple apps, instead 3rd party software

I was wondering what would be the best option for cleaning application cache, memory and doing regular computer maintenance, without installing 3rd party software, or if there is any?
can CleanMyMac or DiskDoctor functions substituted with apple stock apps ?
thanks

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A computing device should not be a focus of your attention. It should be an almost invisible tool by means of which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that is always whining for your attention like a neurotic dog, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

3rd party software for MS Cloud

Dear MS:
I have been using the Surface Pro (1st generation) to come up with my own program for medical record keeping, I am a medical doctor working in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada.
Surface Pro and Win8.1 is a really cool tool and I am thrilled that MS is coming up with such a nice package. There is one thing about the MS cloud, that is that I cannot save my own program into my One drive and work on it from anywhere when there is internet
connection. (other than the OneNote that we have programmed to be embedded therein).
So my question is that if it is possible for the whole of my own program (3rd party software with OneNote and Word 2013 embedded) to be saved to and work from my One Drive?
I enclose the software tech specifications from my programmer for your attention.
Thanks and regards

Subject: Questions to synchronize LabRx data between Microsoft Cloud
To: Patrick Shiu <[email protected]>
Dr Shiu,
For your information, our program LabRx is a WinForm application using SQL-SERVER 2012.
Most of the data such as patient information, patient history, MML, etc are stored in the database on your local SQLServer.
Microsoft One-note cloud is similar to dropbox, which is easy to synchronize files and documents.
But we need to do is to synchronize SQL-SERVER database (not just files or documents) using Microsoft cloud. So I think we need to ask them about how to implement this first.
Regards,
Ming

Hello Patrick,
It looks like you are interested in moving the Sql Server Db to Windows Azure. In that case you will be able to access (query) all your data from any device and everywhere.
OneDrive is just a cloud storage for storing files, it can't host running databases as your developer mentioned. Windows Azure is exactly what you are interested in.

How to AUTO print DMS with Shop Paper without 3rd party software?

Since standard SAP cannot AUTOMATICALLY print DMS with shop paper.
Is there a way to AUTOMATICALLY print DMS with shop paper without using 3rd party software ? I've heard that there's a user exit or Function Modules that we can use so this will be possible. We don't really want to deal with 3rd party software if we can avoid it.
Has anyone resolved this problem without using 3rd party software?
Thank you,
Sam

It would easier to get an ABAPER to debug the manual process and then use those function modules etc in the modified program.
The ability to print attached documents exists as a manual process of navigate and click, the process is as follows:
1.     Access transaction IW32 (or IW33).
2.     Enter order number (initial screen).
3.     Click enter (change order central header screen).
4.     Select the operations tab page (change order operation overview screen).
5.     Select the relevant operation (change order operation overview screen).
6.     Click the PRT icon (change order operation overview screen).
7.     Select the PRT (PRT list of operation screen).
8.     Click the PRT display button (PRT list of operation screen).
9.     Click the print button (display document screen).
The process prerequisites are:
     Work order created with assigned PRT document.
     PRT documents.
     DMS configuration to allow document to be opened and printed.

3rd party software in DOM-0 supported ?

Hi,
we plan to deploy OracleVM on HP hardware with MSA SAN. Usually we install HP PSP (Proliant Support Pack) on the machines to configure and monitor them. Also PSP contains cpqacuxe (array configuration utility) used to configure the MSA SAN storage (add LUN's etc.). This tool is needed if you want to configure the MSA. I think this is a very common setup ( .. ok others may use IBM, but here you need different tools).
Also we usually monitor servers with system monitoring software (nagios / HP Openview etc.).
Oracle VM is based on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 which is a RHEL5 clone (like CentOS) so I expect that the HP PSP packages for RHEL5 work on Oracle VM DOM-0.
Does anyone know what the Oracle support status is in regards to installed 3rd party software like system monitoring agents and hardware drivers / tools is ?
Unfortunately the documentation only mentions support for Host and Client OS.
Any hint would be appreshiated.
Regards.

Thank you - the link leads to the right website but the software you'll find there has not been updated anymore after March 26th. Until then there have been releases of new software or software updates on a daily basis.

Importing song ratings without auto-sync or 3rd party software

My iPod Classic contains all my Mac iTunes' library (approx 150GB), and they auto-sync, so ratings, play counts etc are sync'ed seamlessly.
I manage my iPod nano and iPhone manually since their respective capacities are too small for my library.
How do I import song ratings etc back into iTunes without 3rd party software or creating playlists (dedicated to the nano and the phone) and auto-syncing just those playlists?
Many thanks!

Hey! By mistake I found the solution to my exact question i.e. how to have ratings etc synced automatically without the use of playlists or 3rd parties. (Meg's answer actually convinced me to use dedicated playlists, but then, after toying with the devices and iTunes I stumbled on the solution to my original dilemma, which I've seen discussed in many places but not yet answered)
So here it is:
when you connect the device (nano multi-touch or iphone 4, don't know about others) to iTunes, while having "Manually manage music" disabled (with "Enable disk use" enabled or disabled, it doesn't matter), go to Music tab, check "Sync Music", choose "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" and that's it. You don't check any actual playlists, artists etc below, you can drag from iTunes and drop your chosen music to the device, play it, rate it, connect to iTunes and sync and you'll see the rating and play counts updated. Simple as that.
Thank you Meg, your answer is actually the best, I guess, since having the dedicated playlists tends to keep things more in order, but - thank you Apple! - you don't always need to be perfectly organized in order to have an up-to-date rating.

Issues with Form printing using a 3rd party software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Hi All,
We are printing our month end AR statements using Xerox DP100 printers. We are using a SAP Script as the layout form. Everything works perfectly alright when a direct print is issued to the printer. But the scenario here is the statements are sent to a 3rd party software so that the statements can be saved in their repository and made available to be viewed and printed whenever necessary. Now the issue is when this 3rd Party Software(TPS) reads the SAP generated PCL from its report store on the unix host and generates a PDF File that it presents to the web client user for (re)printing via his/her PC it appears that the TPS or Websphere or Adobe is performing a font substituion - replacing the Univers font(used in R/3) which is not loaded on the unix host with a different font(with different sizing and/or behavior).
As a result the horizontal and vertical positioning generated by SAP(which is correct for the Univers font) is 'wrong' for the substituted font. The fixed size fields print OK but gradually move to the right. The varying size amount columns do not align correctly and fall off the right side of the page.
Can anyone give me pointers on what can be done to arrest this error.
Does the font need to be loaded on the unix host or the font used in the form be changed?
Regards,
Karthik

Karthik,
Sap script behaves differently for different printers. You will have to change margins when you change your printer/software accordingly.

Is 3rd party software required for auto creation of DIR for scanned copy,

Hello SAP gurus.
The current business process is there are 100s of service order, (IW31 creation TC) and each service order has its own 50-60 external documents attached to it.
unfortunately there is no standard link from SAP DMS at Service order (lW31, TC) level.
Here i tought of creating a document folder in EDMS or structure with the reference of service order No. And keeping this service order as reference we need some 50-60 documents (files) to be directly assigned to the main service order No, with out any manual intervention.
Here is what the user does in the present system
With our client in the present system they use a 3rd party software for mail and scanner interface, here Any x, y, z user scans an document or Mails a document with attachments, just giving the subject line as the Service order already created.
The document attachment directly comes and sits inside the predefined Service Order folder. Along with the user name who sent the document and the time he sent the document.
Is the same thing possible in SAP ie.. Creating or attaching documents with out any manual interventions taking the reference of Mails sent having the subject line as the DIR
Does this require 3rd party interference to do this, will any BAPI /BADI to do this for DMS with out 3rd party software.
is there any upload programme that should be used which will avoid 3rd party software.
please explain. points waiting.
Thanks and warm regards

How do I transfer photo files from desktop to ipad without 3rd party software?

how do I transfer photo and music files from my laptop to ipad2 without purchasing a 3rd party software?

You can use iTunes which is free (http://www.apple.com/itunes) - and that is the only way to sync music from a computer to the iPad
Syncing photos via iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . You need to sync all photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad
