Argo and scripting languages

Sorry for the invisibility cloak I have been wearing here lately.  We had an intention to release this a lot earlier, but bureaucracy got the best of us.  But at last ...
Please visit https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/webcontent/uuid/d8965f54-0c01-0010-e0bf-d8cce7a59b0c">https [original link is broken] [original link is broken].  BTW, someone has already built their own Argo Yahoo! widget to search SDN.
You can visit the Argo forum here Enterprise Search for more of an explanation of what Argo is and how it can be useful.  FWIW, we expect to have Argo interfaces for e-mail, SMS, natural language, native mobile clients, WebDynpro, Yahoo! Widgets, Mac Widgets, Vista Gadgets, Google Maps, and much more.  And we expect some of you to contribute some of this great stuff.
Let us know what you think on the Argo forum, but a little bit of cross-posting here probably would be a good thing.
Thanks ...

Basically, I am interested in this thing in and of itself.Sorry, but since you can't always get what you want, I have to say this: have you looked into Groovy? It may give you what you want -- a powerful scripting language that can integrate closely with java (I think). Another scripting language to look at is Jython which I believe can be integrated with java. No JNI needed.
Good luck

  • SAP Scripting Languages on the SDN Day - Amsterdam

    I would like to give a short summary of what happened on the SDN Day in Amsterdam, the 17-th Oct. 2006.
    After the breakfast Craig Cmehil gave us a welcome to the event and presented the schedule. We started with a power networking session: Four 20-minute Sessions with Six SDNers per Table. As I was sitting at the Scripting Languages table, I would like to share some impressions of the atmosphere there. We talked much about the emmerging SAP Scripting Tool and how much value it will bring to all scripting projects that plan to utilize SAP backend systems. We discussed Gregor Wolf's contest and he was so kind to inform us that his test system is also available inside the SAP corporate network, so all SAP employees now can participate too. Gregor works for Siteco Beleuchtungstechnik GmbH and the award they offer for the contest is a Siteco Vistosa task light. More information about the contest can be found at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4588. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] Another key discussion was held with Björn Schotte, the chief editor of PHP Magazine, Germany, presenting also his company Mayflower Gmbh. He shared some visions on business applications of PHP and stated that PHP is definitely enterprise ready.
    Then after a very short pause we started the SDN breakout sessions (3-5 in parallel). I visited the sessions of Gregor Wolf, André Labahn, Björn Schotte and after this I cooperated for the breakout session of Frank Mittag.
    Session 1:
    Connecting Typo3 to R/3 Enterprise via Web Services with Gregor Wolf from Siteco Beleuchtungstechnik GmbH
    Siteco Beleuchtungstechnik GmbH currently implements a customer service centre into it's Typo3 based website. Typo3 is an Open Source Web Content Management system based on the Scripting Language PHP. The application will allow Siteco's customers to directly check price & availability of products from the backend R/3 Enterprise system, quotations, orders and delivery status. The backend connectivity uses Web Services utilise the PEAR SOAP Package.
    Session 2:
    SAP supports Scripting Languages with Andre Labahn from SAP.
    This session will provide you with more insights on how SAP is supporting scripting languages.
    Session 3:
    Scripting Languages PHP and Enterprise Software with Björn Schotte (Chief Editor from PHP Magazine).
    This session showed us a brief history of PHP and PHP in Germany. Some enterprise applications of PHP were discussed. Björn Schotte was the opinion that PHP is definitely enterprise ready and he proved it with an example of a system that his company has created for Siemens.
    Session 4:
    Scripting Languages Tool with Frank Mittag and Vasil Bachvarov (me) from SAP
    SAP will provide a open source tool to the scripting development community that is supporting the access to SAP Backend Systems via RFC/BAPIs and Webservices. See the concept and demo of the tool and discuss this with SAP Development.
    There was a pretty interesting discussion about the tool. Since the time for the last session shrinked with some minutes we had to be very quick, but Frank Mittag did a great job and succeeded to explain the basic concept of the SAP Scripting Tool and show it in action for the tough time constraint.
    There were a lot of questions from the audience but it was already 18:30 and we stopped at this point. There would be a second chance for questions on thursday when Frank had the opportunity to make a more complete and comprehensive walk-through of the project.
    Then we gathered in the meeting hall and Shai Agassi held a speech and made a summary of the event.
    The evening finished in the BoomChicago theater where everybody received a delicious meal, drinks and a great amount of fun with the ChicagoBoom comic crew.
    I would like to thank all people that made this event come true! See you soon in Bangalore.
    Best Regards,
    Vasil Bachvarov

    I'm be there in Amsterdam as well.  In fact I am leaving the US on Sunday and arriving early Monday morning in Amsterdam. 
    I was planning to do a little site seeing on Monday Afternoon.  If anyone else is arriving a bit early as well, they are welcome to join me.  It is always more fun to site see in groups.  My email address is public in my SDN business card (also not too difficult to figure out ) if anyone is interested in meeting up.

  • Looking for a more universal scripting language than AppleScript or Automator

    I want to learn a cross-platform/web scripting language to automate tasks, write scripts and with the potential to create programs and web apps.
    I am looking for something that:
    - is not a program with a GUI like Automator, iKey, Quickeys, Maestro... 
    - is more "universal" than Applescript, cross-platform
    - can be used to automate simple tasks in a simple way
    - can also be used to create more complex scripts, web apps and maybe, eventually, programs (with GUI)
    I've read about Javascript, Python, Ruby, PHP, Perl, C+, C++, Java and others, but I really don't know.
    - Java sounds pretty cool, Python too.
    - I'm not crazy about PHP or Perl, with Javascript, but some people swear by it
    - I don't know anything about C+, C++
    Does anyone have any suggestion(s)?  Please let me know if you need any more details.  Thank you.

    C, C++, Objective-C are nor scripting languages and will not help you do web pages. (Don;t know what C+ is).
    Forget Java it has lots of security problems and more and more users are disabling Java in their web browsers because of this. Developing in Java would be, in my opinion, a mistake.
    If you are doing any web works at all you will need to know some Javascript, no way around that.  But Javascript is actually not a bad language
    Note Java and Javascript are two totally separate languages that have nothing in common  but the first 4 letters of their names.
    So you are left with PHP, Perl, Python and Ruby.
    Dismissing PHP and Perl out of hand is a big mistake, They are both major players and you will run into them just about everywhere. If you are looking to do this for possible employment you will need to be familiar with them at least.
    Python and Ruby are both strong languages as well. I don't have a lot of experience with either so I can;t speak to their strengths  but  learnign either would not be a mistake.
    Knowing what your reasons are for asking this, personal use or for employment, might help refine the list some.
    regards
    Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Perl is also included in OS X by default. Not sure about PHP but I believe it also is. I agree TextWrangler would be a good editor for this type of work.

  • How to create a scripting language in java?

    Hello,
    All that I want to do is to create a scripting language in java. I�m familiar with javacc, jsr223 and other things but don�t know how to start. The language syntax is java 5 syntax with some change and I want to generate java source code from small scripts. In fact I don�t know how other languages (like groovy) are created.
    I hope you can show me the required steps.
    Looking forward to hear from you.
    Thanks.

    That's all, huh?
    For a start, generally when I hear "scripting language" I'm thinking interpretter, not a system which creates compiled (or compilable) code.
    I get the impression that what you're talking about is what I'd call a "preprocessor" language, some extra syntax added to java which the preprocessor renders into ordinary java.
    As far as complexity is concerned, much depends on how deeply involved the extra syntax is with the embedded ordinary Java. Does you preprocessor need to understand the java, or is it just embedded as text? How easilly identified are your preprocesor statments? It's a lot easier to do this if preprocessor lines are instantly identifiable from Java code (e.g. start with a #).
    Basically the stages are always the same;
    1) Lexical analysis i.e. picking out words, operators, numbers, quoted strings.
    2) Construct a syntax tree.
    3) Generate code (in this case Java).
    Now, in this case, some of the nodes in the syntax tree may simply be chunks of undigested Java.

  • About about scripting language

    I'm looking to getting some training on scripting language to use on SCCM.  Any advise which I should focus on?  VBscript or Powershell.  I need to create Configuration Baselines and most of the examples I've seen uses scripting.  
    Also can anyone suggest a good resource for training on Report Builder.  Thanks.

    would recommended to go with Powershell as it automates lot of things using builtin configmgr commands
    here you go with built-in Powershell commands in configmgr http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj850100(v=sc.20).aspx

    Dear All,
    I am using Send Notification callable object for sending emails. And I have designed a template for the same.

    So is there any way to achieve this??? Can I make use loop statement in script language of Replacement??
    Can anybody tell me where do I find the sample usage of script language?

  • Scripting Language Options for the Script Task Options SSIS 2012

    Can python or perl be used as a script language in the drag and drop script task? I believe only VB.Net and C# are, but I see under SSDT Tools -> Options there are some choices for Python Debugging? I'd like to use python as my SSIS scripting language
    in some cases. If it can not be used as the script task language, what are the Python options under Tools -> Options for?
    Any experts out there who can illuminate?
    Thanks all

    Hello,
    In SSDT in a SSIS Script task you can only use Visual Basic.NET and C#, no other programming / scripting languages.
    SSDST is a plugin for Visual Studio and in VS you will find several options which are irrelevant for SSIS projects, like this Phyton debugging option.

  • Expressions and scripting

    Hi
    I've several questions about programming in Ae
    And I hope to find answers with you
    1- What are the differences between : expressions and scripting ???
    2- I'm not a programmer , so , can I be proficient in expressions ? and how ?
    3- again , I'm not programmer
    can I learning Java script ?

    An expression is a little piece of softwaremuch like a scriptthat evaluates to a single value for a single layer property at a specific point in time. Whereas scripts tell an application to _do_ something, an expression says that a property _is_ something.
    With expressions, you can create relationships between layer properties and use the keyframes of one property to dynamically animate other layers. For example, you can use the pick whip to link path properties, so a mask can take its path from a brush stroke or a shape layer object.
    The expression language is based on the standard JavaScript language, but you do not need to know JavaScript to use expressions. You can create expressions by using the pick whip or by copying simple examples and modifying them to suit your needs.
    Be sure to read the
    "Expressions" section of After Effects Help on the Web.
    Dan Ebberts has an excellent collection of example expressions and scripts and tutorials for learning how to work with expressions and scripts on his website: http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_motionscripthome.
    The AE Enhancers forum provides many examples and much information about expressions, as well as scripts and animation presets: http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_aeenhancershome.
    JJ Gifford provides several example projects on his website that demonstrate how to use expressions: http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_jjgiffordexpressions.

  • New java-like scripting language w/ powerful regex

    Hi,
    Just wanted to let you know that there's now a new scripting language called P~ with the following important aspects:
    1) matches and exceeds Perl regex solveability -- e.g. offers full regex-based boolean query on non-indexed corpus, offers completely general side-effects, more accurate than Perl code assertions
    2) basic grammar is very Java like
    3) regex grammar is algebraic, not metacharacter-based, leads to more readable and maintainable solutions to hard problems
    4) offers an easy tool to debug matching behavior of your regexes (rules)
    5) though a full featured scripting language, you can write scriptlets and call them from Java classes, with arguments. Allows you to use your regex solutions in Java applications.
    6) the language is offered as a Java library, as well as a standalone application that runs the library. This means that your scripts can import java classes available in the classpath, you can leverage existing Java libraries.
    Check out the website and try it out: http://ptilde.pbwiki.com
    Andy

    True to an extent. We don't yet have lookaround assertions and won't have backreferencing any time soon. But there are same-time assertions which offer much of the same, and allow for boolean query.
    More accurate general statement insertion side-effects (than Perl code assertions) means that your statements are executed if and only they wrap a subpattern that is part of the ultimate best match -- Perl code assertions execute when the automata encounters them, even if where they are in the regex is ultimately not part of the match, or even if there is no match at all. This aspect is a huge part of the solveability advantage.
    As to the regex test cases, there are about 1000, and we will post them soon.

  • How text data is formated in post script language level 2

    Hi all,
       In post script language level 3 files text data is converted to hexadesimal format and kept in between xshow commands. But in postscript language level 2 files, text data is converted to some other format.
      Can you please inform me, to which format text data is converted.

  • Using context variable in formcalc scripting language.

    Hi all,
             I wanted to know if it is possible to use context variables in formcalc. I wanted to use those variables in "if else" condition in formcalc scripting language. Please post the sample code also as i am new to adobe forms.
    Regards,
    Vinod

    Hi ,
    Each variable define in the context can be used on the layout of the form and/or in script linked to fields.
    This can be done in formcalc or in javascript language , without any problem . You have only to acess the correct variable in the script.
    For getting variable in a script you must define the complete name of the variable, example "Myform.Header.Data.Myvariable" get access to variable MyVariable define in the context under nodes Header/Data .
    Hope it's help you
    regards.

  • High-level/scripting languages learning thread

    Hi all,
    In recent weeks i have looked into many of the high-level/scripting languages.  All of them easy enough to get into quickly. My problem though is not learning them actually, but that i don't actually have much use now. Sure, from time to time i need a little script for something (and sometimes i then translate that script to lots of languages just for the heck of it like here), but that doesn't amount to much. However on the other hand i'm neither in some job regarding IT/programming nor do i study anything with respect to programming, and i also am not interested in more programming as in compiled languages, system programming or things like that. (At the very least not yet). So i'm doing this just for fun and learning (two of my lifegoals). I am aware of for example Project Euler, however i'm not mathematically interested enough for that.
    So, the purpose of this thread are two things.
    a) I'm asking for suggestions for interesting things i could do with high-level/scripting languages, maybe someone knows of something Project Euler like but for more mundane things and not maths.
    b) So as to give this thread another purpose and not make it only about me, maybe people who have some problem writing a script for something can ask for help. I know of the other thread (the long one, "commandline utilites/scripts"), but that one seems to be more of the sort where someone posts a script he/she uses and then maybe someone posts an answer to that. So for this thread here people should be able to ask for help while creating the script, or even "Where to start". This could serve both the people with the problem and the people wanting to learn more about some language but not finding a way to apply the learning.
    Ogion

    a) I'm asking for suggestions for interesting things i could do with high-level/scripting languages, maybe someone knows of something Project Euler like but for more mundane things and not maths.
    To me, this sounds like the Python Challenge: http://www.pythonchallenge.com/
    Also, if you're not interested in math, maybe you might still find yourself engaged by something like natural language processing, games, or simulations? I personally find the "Natural Language Toolkit" for Python to be a lot of fun.

  • Scripting Languages Tool Preview

    Ok, this new thread is for posting about the Scripting Languages Tool Preview. Any comments, thoughts, ideas, contributions?
    Greetings,
    Blag.

    John: as Frank said, we'd love to see generators for other languages - like JavaScript - in future. But we don't want to create them all alone. So here's the deal: we create the framework and some generators for the most widely-used languages and you cool guys on SDN build on that and create other generators, other viewers, anything you think is useful. And for all questions or problems we (SAP Scripting Team) will offer all the help we can. I'm very looking forward to see what will evolve from this
    This works two-way. It's you who have year-long experience in all kind of scripting languages - combined it's much more knowledge than we can have. So when I face a scripting problem during generator-creation I'll just ask for your help here
    Piers: no, it did not arrive. Please send again. I checked my profile and the mail-address was just not set to 'visible'. Your's isn't, too
    About the 'integration': it is a clear goal to let it work inside other frameworks (Eclipse-based). As we do not have or use all of these I can just assume that it'll work just fine using the standard Eclipse mechanisms. Scripting in a Box is definitely a good candidate for this, and I myself use it for testing both tool integration and generated scripts.
    Bundling - we thought about this, but there might be legal issues, so we have to wait for an official approval. Meanwhile it's not that complicated just getting SiaB and installing the tool afterwards

  • Scripting Language -how to enter double quote

    Hi Everyone,
    On scripting language (Python), at call settings tab, under argument expression -how do I enter the following argument:
    -z "c:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe" -d 192.168.1.50 --fl2 myFilename.fl2 --fl_sel vf_oy
    Python script calls "c:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe" as part of the argument.
    The complete call:
    python fth.py -z "c:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe" -d 192.168.1.50 --fl2 myFilename.fl2 --fl_sel vf_oy
    I am using Teststand 2012.  Thanks,
    Frank

    Hi Doug,
    Thanks for your help and after running with suggested solution I got code error 2  from Python script:
    "-z \"c:\\Program Files (x86)\\7-Zip\\7z.exe\\\" -d 192.168.1.50 --fl2 myFilename.fl2 --fl_sel vf_oy"
    However it works fine if I remove the last two "\\"
    "-z \"c:\\Program Files (x86)\\7-Zip\\7z.exe\" -d 192.168.1.50 --fl2 myFilename.fl2 --fl_sel vf_oy"
    Thanks for your help.
