Automatically Including Build Date

We have some LabVIEW code that is built into an .exe/installer and it has an indicator that shows the date it was built and the revision number for that build. Currently, we have to manually set the date and revision number each time we build the program. I don't think the way we do our revision scheme can be automated with LabVIEW during the build of the installer or .exe file. However, it seems like there should be a way to incorporate the build date into my code from the build process. Is there such a thing? If not, does anyone have any suggestions for automatically including a build date into the LabVIEW code so that I do not have to remember to do this manually each time?
Thanks in advance.

I can't remember where I found these, so I cannot give due credit, but these VIs will give file info. If you point these to your exe file then you can get the file version etc.
EDIT: If you leave the path blank, then it follows the call chain to the app. In development this will point to LabVIEW, but in a compiled exe it will be your app.

How to include install date and time in registry keys

Hi All,
Hopefully someone can help me. I am creating an installer which includes some properties in the build specs. I also wannt to include some registry keys to be added upon installation:
1. I include the install directory of the application by providing the key with the value [INSTALLDIR]. This seems to work well and I have no problem with this.
2. The other key I would like to include (but I do not know how) is the date and time of installation. Is there a way of automatically including this in a registry key (similar to INSTALLDIR)?
I look forward to your expert advice!
Kind Regards,

Larry,
afaik the setting for "Run as Admin" is per OS process. As the "Run Exe after installation" is a different process as the application you installed by it (e.g. "MyApplication.exe"), i wouldn't expect the MyApplication.exe to require/use admin-rights.

How to automate the build of CompositeApplication for different environment

Hi,
I have a scenerio where i have to automate the build process of composite application.
For Example :
I have a Composite application currently configured for my DEV Environment. I have two more environments UAT, and IST on which the same Composite Application should be deployed. The environment details such as 1) Host Name , 2) Port Number , for UAT and IST are different.
I need to create an automation script which takes in the different environment details and builds the CompositeApplication Project.
Please help, if you have any solution or Please provide pointers.
Thanks

Hi yuvarag,
I take it that you're working in a 5.1.3 environment. I was in a similar situation, and although I wasn't able to automate the process as I would have liked, I was able to make some modifications to the build process that made it acceptable.
For one thing, our QA dept would not allow us to build separate ear files, using different environments, for QA and production. They were willing to sign off on the QA file that they had tested, but as far as they were concerned (and I fully agreed) they had not tested a new aer file build for the production environment. I was able to convince them (and myself) that using the iConfigure tool to modify the settings of the ear file was a safe way to create the production file from the QA file. This also removed any possibility of including new code into a build with the production environment.
Although it didn't get automated, I did set up a "build" user on the box that housed our repository. All builds for deployment to QA were performed by logging in as the build user to perform the build. I also made a few modifications to the build scripts that come with the commandlinecodegen tool to simplify the process. I could probably have automated the build by adding a cron entry to kick off the build script. Automating the iConfigure step would be much more difficult. But if you are free to build fresh ears for production, then you should be able to automate the process with cron, and a few tweaks to the commandlindgodegen tool.

Save as EPS - Include Vector Data - Printing problems

Hey everyone
I'm having an issue with PDFs that I send to a specific newspaper and only them. The problem only occurs in the vector data that is saved in the EPS to be distilled.
Here's an overview of my workflow
*Build ad in Photoshop CS3
*Save EPS with Preview:Macintosh(8Bits);Encoding: ASCII85; Include Vector Data; all other options not checked
*Distill EPS to Press Quality PDF
*Send to newspaper
The problem looks like their RIP is choking on the vector data (primarily text) in the ad. It appears to start to print the text and then just stops or prints a bunch of garbage where the text should be.
I have their in-house Distiller settings and use those now instead of Press Quality. This should rule out any problems with the Distiller settings.
I send dozens of PDFs a week to multiple publications and only have trouble with this one. Is it possible that the "Preview" and/or "Encoding" in the EPS is the problem? Any suggestions what the bare bones settings should be for "Preview" and "Encoding" for the EPS? I want to keep the Vector Data b/c the outputted text remains crisp.
Thanks!

I agree with Mike.
A lot of newspapers are not making a lot of profit and, as a result, may not have up-to-date RIPs. This is demonstrated by your statement that this is the only publication you have problems with.
If your only concern is file size, know that either way, you're dealing with small files. Try the direct-from-Photoshop route with the paper and see what happens. Get the production guru at the paper to work with you on solving the problem.
Also, what happens if you Distill the file as an industry-standard PDF/X-1a file. If you see that the file is compliant, you shouldn't have a problem.

Automate index building

Automate index building (acrobat x, win xp): does it work or does it not? I do not find a documentation using index building with windows scheduler. A link or an example would be helful.
Thank you.

Kishore
Since you are saying it is DW envrionment, how many of those indexes will be used in your queries. Instead of rebuilding indexes, gathering up to date stats at the end of your batch jobs and before your users query would probably be more benefiical.
Index rebuild may not be beneficial like several experts have mentioned in this forum and their blogs. I think there would be very few cases that would benefit from the index rebuilds and from your situation and from what i understand from the description, it may not benefit

How to automatically generate/build a uniqueID in Sun IM

Hello,
I'm unfortunately not able to automatically generate/build a unique identifier in IM according to my different data sources (resources) => the goal of this process is to manage the unique identifiers (accountID) through the Identity Manager, and then send back the corresponding accountIDs to the data sources (to keep the mapping between IM and the sources).
=> Each data source (DB, files, etc.) stores their own unique identifier (e.g. primary key, id, etc.).
=> I'm able to reconcile (or "Load from Resource") the data from the sources
=> Unfortunately the accountIDs from my "authoritative data source" (main data source) are used as "unique identifiers" (accountID) through IM :o( !!!!! and I would like to build a unique id (e.g. <firstnameFirstLetter>.<lastnameFirstLetter><6digits) for all the users (according to all the accounts from the different sources).
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for this example.
I didn't test it for the moment, because I still have a problem with the workflow....., which will call this rule at the end.
Here is my problem about this workflow :
My idea is to use this workflow (as a pre-account wrokflow through the reconciliation process) to automatically write the SIM accountIds into the Resource accounts (i.e. into my authoritative database => IAM_EXT_UID is used to store the corresponding SIM accountIds).
When we use a "Pre-account workflow" through the reconciliation process, some variables are already available : accountId, resourceId, userName, initialSituation, finalSituation, etc.
During my initial load process (e.g. using the reconciliation process), all the resource accounts use the following states :
+ initialSituation : AR_SITUATION_NAME_UNMATCHED
+ finalSituation : AR_SITUATION_NAME_CONFIRMED
+ accountId : name of the resource account that was reconciled => i.e. specific to the resource
+ userName (name of the Identity Manager User) : userName is NULL
I'm just interested in this case (initial=UNMATCHED and final=CONFIRMED) in order to send back the SIM accountId into my database.
My workflow uses the checkoutView Session Workflow Service to get some information about the newly created SIM users (e.g. his newly created accountId => created on the fly by using a rule).
Unfortunately, the userName is NULL ! I think that this input is NULL because I use a rule to automatically generate the SIM accountIds !!!! Am I right ?
Is there a way to get this userName ? Maybe the checkoutView Session Workflow Service is not the best solution !!!
Here is my code snippet :
<Extension>
<WFProcess name='XYZ' maxSteps='0'>
<Variable name='accountId' input='true' />
<Variable name='resourceId' input='true' />
<Variable name='resourceName' input='true' />
<Variable name='userId' input='true' />

How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example. I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

PO Document type for Automatic Load Building

Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

alsdman,
Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

Client automatically cache the data got from cache server?

Hi expert,
I have 2 questions about the client local cache. Would you please help to give me some suggestion？
1. Will client automatically locally cache the data got from cache server the first time and automatically update the data in local cache when getting the same data from cache server again? I go through the API reference but cannot find any API to query the data currently cached in the local cache.
2. If client will automatically cache the data got from cache server. Is there any way for a client to get the data event that happens to its local cache, such as entry created in local cache, entry deleted from local cache and entry updated in local cache? In my opinion, when getting an entry from cache server the first time, the MapListener's entry create event should be triggered. When getting the same entry again, the entry update event should be triggered.
However, I have tried a client with replicated cache, a client with partitioned cache, an extend client with remote cache and a client with local cache(front cache part of near cache), the client (the NamedCache object has been set the MapListener) cannot get any event notification after getting data from cache server. By the way, my listener is OK since when putting data the entry create event and entry update event will be triggered.
Your suggestion is very appreciated. :)

Hi
If I were you I would read this http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14526_01/coh.350/e14510/toc.htm
and particularly the section about Near Caching here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14526_01/coh.350/e14510/nearcache.htm#CDEFEAJG
which is what you are asking about in your question.
Near Caching is how Coherence stores data in the locally - which is the answetr to your first question. How Near Caching works is explained in the documentation.
Events, which you ask about in your second question are explained here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14526_01/coh.350/e14510/delivereventsjava.htm#CBBIIEFA
It might be that ContinuousQueryCache is closer to what you want. This is explained here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14526_01/coh.350/e14510/queryabledatafabric.htm#sthref38 A ContinuousQueryCache is like having a sub-set of the underlying cache on the local client which you can then listen to etc...
