Is there a way to launch an app and a set of actions on startup? (Like an automator-script for ipad)

Hi all,
Is there a way to have the ipad execute a series of tasks at startup? (like an automator-script)
Thank you!

Hi all,
For all you who have been looking for a solution for the problem above, here it is :
http://www.kioskproapp.com/
The Kiosk Pro app allows you to run any html-scrip locally stored on the ipad!
Which is great! Because not only does it allow for an infinite amount of possibilities next to the video-looping, it also keeps on working with one click after a reboot!
The learning curve of usage is quite simple for the problem above, since they provide extensive information on the website and have great customer service.
I am very very happy I found this app, and I really hope this post saves a lot of people the headaches I've suffered in the course of finding the solution.
Enjoy!

Automated script for setting authorization limit in GL

Hi,
I am trying to create an automated script in our General Ledger application to set authorization limit. I have looked into code of form GLXSTEAL.fmb. There I found that, GL_AUTHORIZATION_LIMITS_PKG is being used for setting authorizations limit.
Below is the code I am trying to run from PL/SQL developer using apps id:
declare
l_Rowid varchar2(30);
l_Set_Of_Books_Id apps.GL_AUTHORIZATION_LIMITS.SET_OF_BOOKS_ID%TYPE;
l_Employee_Id apps.GL_HR_EMPLOYEES_CURRENT_V.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE;
l_Authorization_Limit apps.GL_AUTHORIZATION_LIMITS.AUTHORIZATION_LIMIT%TYPE;
l_user_id number := FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID;

commit;
end;
I am getting the error PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'INSERT_ROW'.
Please help me with this.
Thanks

I have found another way to achieve this. By inserting the data directly to GL_AUTHORIZATION_LIMITS table.
INSERT INTO gl.GL_AUTHORIZATION_LIMITS
(set_of_books_id,employee_id,authorization_limit,CREATION_DATE,CREATED_BY,LAST_UPDATE_DATE,LAST_UPDATED_BY,LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN)
VALUES (1001,p_person_id,1.00,SYSDATE,l_user_id,SYSDATE,l_user_id,l_login);

Automation scripts for Instant client install\ add TNS entry

Guys,
I'm trying to develop an VB application,which uses data from an Oracle server residing in my neighbour's system.
My system doesn't have oracle client installed.
So, I've made use of Oracle Instant Client package-OCBC.
Now, I'm looking for an automation script that would do the following in order
1)Uzip the instant client into a directory. (say C:\ondemand\instantclient)
2)Add this directory into the PATH environment variable
3)Set up Service Names with tnsnames.ora ie. Create a TNSNAMES.ORA file to configure my Oracle instance connection.
4)Set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to be the path to the tnsnames.ora
Can someone help me out with automated scripts?
Thanks,
Bhagat

Don't worry. I've solved it.
One of the files I was using stated: Always set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable or registry setting to the full path of the tnsnames.ora file.
I took that to mean including the "tnsnames.ora". It doesn't. It really does mean just the PATH part.
However, with this corrected, I got the pulldown populated. But with only the first part of the name, from the tnsnames.ora file. tnsnames.ora had mydb.<domain>.com. The pulldown only had mydb. Manually adding the .<domain>.com to it worked.
Now on to the next problem. <GRIN>
Cheers,

Automated script for deploying, removing, install again the WSP using stsadm command line

Hi,
Am having a requirement in my staging and prod env. to add, install,retract and remove wsp.
In my dev env i used to perform with Visual Studio ,so i didnt face any issues regarding retracting and removing the wsp from solution store.
But in my staging and prod since i dont hav VS installed, i would like to have a automated script[ NOT in POWERSHELL] using stsadm command line tool which adds the solution from a folder [say D:\DeployWSPs in staging and Prod] to the solution
store and installed onto a particular web application [ NOT "All WebApplications"].
and if the wsp already exists , i need to retract it & remove from solution store and add it and install again.
can someone pls help me with the automated script .also if the folder contains multiple WSPs how can i doa for each loop [ iterate through wach ".wsp" file and perform install/...task].
i know stsadm -o adddsolution, deletesolution,m retractsolution etc. But the issue is that customer asked me to do this ina automated fashion. manually entering all these commands is a cumbersome activity.
note: when i used powershell on 2 / 3 occasions, the wsp was retracted successfully,but failed to successfully remove from the
soln store.
so i thought i will depend upon on stsadm again like old version of SP since its supported.
Das

I would recommend you to use Power Shell so that you can do the automation easily. You can use
power shell for earlier version of SharePoint as well.
Look why removing the solution is getting failed. May be you are trying to remove before the solution is retracted. Wait for retract and remove the solution. Refer to the following post for more information

Help with Automator Script for QuickTime Pro Movie Conversion from Vado

All my videos from my Creative Vado do not show up in iMovie 09 initially on import. By trial and error, I have discovered that the old version of QuickTime Pro 7 ($29.95) will convert them to .mov files that can be seen by iMovie 09 once the converted videos are imported back into iPhoto.
I am (very) new to mac things, and it looks like in theory I could use Automator to handle to conversion process, and perhaps even the re-import into iPhoto. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about this? Where would be a good site to post this as a project that I could pay some one to help me, provide an automator script/workflow?
Are any other solutions available? Buy Final Cut etc?
PS (Rant): One of the reasons I bought a MacBook Pro and iLife was to take advantage of what I thought was supposed to be Apple's superior multimedia handling. It seems ludicrous to me that with a MacBook Pro running the latest software (10.6.4), and using the latest versions of iLife, I'd have to buy an old version of QuickTime to convert my videos so that I could manipulate them in iMovie. Sigh.

MPeg Stram clip will export files which are compatible with iMovie '09. It (iMovie )can import the following.
DV
AIC
Motion-JPEG
Photo-JPEG
MPEG-4 (Supported profiles)
H.264 (Supported profiles)
Apple Animation (Movie '09 only)
Apple Video (iMovie '09 only)
iMovie '08/'09 will not accept files containing extraneous data tracks such as:
'Tween
Text
Chapter
Closed Caption
Secondary audio such as AC3
etc.
iMovie '08/'09 Will not accept files that rely on proprietary/third-party components such as
DivX
WMV
XviD
etc.

Spotlight automator script for dupes?

i suppose what i'm looking for is a script for spotlight that will identify duplicates on my hard drive with the exact same name and either delete them for me, or give me an easier way to delete them myself (besides weeding through each mp3 and deleting whatever comes up twice). i posted earlier about how when i migrated to my new computer last summer i inadvertantly made two copies of all my mp3s and i'd like to delete the duplicates.
any info would be greatly appreciated.

Automated scripts for importing & sharing on Mobileme?

How would I go about writing a script to automate the following process :
1) (Trigger for script): I insert my SDHC card from my camcorder into my iMac card reader.
2) Launches iMovie and imports all clips as new event.
3) Creates a single project by including all of the events just imported.
4) Shares the project on Mobileme.
Currently I'm only managing to view, compile and share movies of the kids when I get (a very rare!) few hours at the weekend. If I could just pop the card into the reader on my way out to work in the morning it would transform my usability of iMovie and mobile me, as I could then view and share the 10-15mins of precious footage I took the night before.
Many thanks,
D

Thanks for info.
The work around I'm using at the moment is to plug in the card in the morning, then access my Mac remotely using Jaadu VNC via my iPhone to do the import and publishing.
Does the job, although a little more cumbersome and need reliable 3G / WIFI connection.

Scripting for Remote Control

Hey folks,
I'm working on a project where I'd like to have a hidden track that would only be accessed when the user entered a specific number with the DVD remote. For example, while a menu or track is playing, the user could enter the number 14 and press enter on the remote, then immediately be taken to the start of the new track. Is this possible?
Thanks for any help.
Kevin

Hi Kevin
You can actually do this without scripting. Each button in a menu can be accessed via the numberpad on the remote. If you've got 5 buttons you can access the 5th button by pushing "5" on your key pad. So if you make an invisible button with no highlight states as your button 5 then the view won't know it's there but by pushing "5" you'll activate it.
In a track, you should be able to do the same thing using 'buttons-over-video', I haven't tested this so I'm not sure where the numberpad finds priority - but give it a go and let us know what happens.
Cheers

Script for Automator to reorder text in file/folder name.

I have a folder full of pictures named by their first and last names. I need them to be renamed by listing them by last name first, first name last in order to get them alphabatized properly. Anybody out there have a nice Automator script for me to make this happen? I'm new.
Looking for it to look like this:
Brown, John

Try this (should work for "John H Smith" --> "Smith John H" as well):
The Run Shell Script Action is:
for f in "$@"
do
    basename=${f##*/}
    path=${f%/*}
    ext=${f##*.}
    name=${basename%.*}
    if [[ "$name" =~ \ ]]; then
        fname=${name% *}
        lname=${name##* }
        name="$lname $fname"
        mv "$f" "$path/$name.$ext"
    fi
done
If you want a comma, then change: name="$lname $fname" to name="$lname, $fname"
As with all scripts, back-up the files before running

Writing commands to get specific data channels in the output report via script or automated script generation..

In my project I have to make certain calculation and then get the data plotted in the given report template. I am using automated script for this. My script is doing all the calculations and then it not selecting and drag-dropping the selected channels on the report template. Its saving the blank report template.
I am struggling to get the data for specific channels plotted by using the script. I need the selected channels to be plotted on this report template and then get it saved.
Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi LaxG,
Brad is absolute right. It is possible to create your whole layout via script.
If you have loaded the example report layout you can copy these lines to create a new line in your plot. This is the recommended object oriented way.
call Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Add(e2DShapeLine, "anyName")
Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape.XChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Zeit"
Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape.YChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Geschwindigkeit"
For performance reasons it's recommended to use the it like this.
dim oLine
set oLine = Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape
oLine.XChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Zeit"
oLine.YChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Geschwindigkeit"
Like Brad mentioned it is much easier, that you have a stored template of your report with all setings and customisations already done.
You open this layout file and have stored the names of your calculated channels. When you are doing this with a script they always have the same name and belong to the same group.
Now you can customize the references of the line items.
