BPS_WB save and navigate in one step.

Hi,
I'm creating an application where on my front page i have a dropdown based on a bps variable.
I want to save the variable and then navigate to new page with only one click of a button.
Does any one know how to achive that ?
My issue is that right now i use the standard save button and then a navigate button. But the users forget to save, and just navigates and the variable is not saved.
Best Regards
Rasmus

Why can´t I take a step back with the keyboard shortcut, cmd + ö, it was possible before, now you have to go to the bar at the top and "go back one step." I have Mac-systems, I also have mouse elbow, and do not want to use the mouse too often.

This article lists some other options for "Back" navigation. Do any of them work for you?

Making Details:Duplicate from Smart Album? Duplicate and Crop in one step?

I need to create details -- blown-up portions -- of several hundred photos. Many of the photos have three areas from which I would like to create details. I want to retain the originals as originals. I want the details to remain in whatever event the original is in. It would be helpful to have the details not inherit the keywords of the original. What is the best way to do this in iPhoto?
Here are some of the problems I've encountered.
- My originals are in Events. I have tagged the photos from which I want to create details with various keywords. I have Smart Albums set up for keywords. Is there any way to duplicate a photo from within a Smart Album ("Duplicate" is grayed out)?
- - Is there any way to select a photo in a Smart Album and then go to Events or Photos view and have that photo selected?
- Once I have the photo selected, I want to quickly select the area of the detail and create a duplicate and crop it to the selected area. Is there an easy way to do this?
- - Pressing "c" in Edit mode brings up the crop mode (as long as Keywords aren't show and you don't have a keyword assigned to "c") _with an area of the photo already selected. Is there any way to either not have an area initially selected or to with one key press get rid of the "pre-selection"?
- Sometimes I don't know until I look at the photo that I want details. Ideally I'd like to be able to, in Edit view, select an area of the photo with the mouse cursor, and with one key-press duplicate the photo and crop it to the area selected.
I am willing to consider using an external editor.
Thanks!

- My originals are in Events. I have tagged the photos from which I want to create details with various keywords. I have Smart Albums set up for keywords. Is there any way to duplicate a photo from within a Smart Album ("Duplicate" is grayed out)?
No. However, if you search the Library on the Keyword (using the Search Box) you'll be able to duplicate.
- - Is there any way to select a photo in a Smart Album and then go to Events or Photos view and have that photo selected?
No. Bu again, using the Search Box, with 'Event Titles' selected in the View Menu will do something similar.
- Once I have the photo selected, I want to quickly select the area of the detail and create a duplicate and crop it to the selected area. Is there an easy way to do this?
Define'Quick'. Here's the quickest way I can find: Crop the pic to the detail. Duplicate the cropped pic and the Revert to Original on the first one. Result: your original pic plus a cropped version. However: you will lose +all previous edits+ on the pic doing this.
- - Pressing "c" in Edit mode brings up the crop mode (as long as Keywords aren't show and you don't have a keyword assigned to "c") _with an area of the photo already selected. Is there any way to either not have an area initially selected or to with one key press get rid of the "pre-selection"?
No and no.
- Sometimes I don't know until I look at the photo that I want details. Ideally I'd like to be able to, in Edit view, select an area of the photo with the mouse cursor, and with one key-press duplicate the photo and crop it to the area selected.
Isn't that the same question as the 'Quick' one above?
I am willing to consider using an external editor.
What's nor clear from your questions is the actual detail required. Are these several hundred pics all the same dimensions, with the detail in the same location each time? If so, you could probably create a Photoshop action to automate the process for you. But if you don't have photoshop or have never created an Action then you might well be faster to do the job by hand.

Generating byte[] and FileDownload in one step

Hi there,
i'm developing an wdp application with a java-backend.
Now there is an iview with a linktoaction, which creates some excel-documents from the database (The backend returns the byte[]). Then there is the FileDownload component to download this generated excelfile.
Well, this works quite good but i don't like it....
The Question:
Is there a possibility of combining the two steps (generating file and starting the download)? So, the user clicks on the Generate File Button or Link and automatically gets a request for a filedownload?
Greetings
Sascha

well, i thought so but there was this little hope that someone might know a trick
Thanks for your help anyway

Wrap and compile code in one step...

http://tylermuth.wordpress.com/2007/09/14/wrap-and-compile-in-one-step/
This was a cool trick I discovered while writing some LDAP code for a customer recently.
Tyler

you can zip all files in one file quite convenient using tar: tar czf <name of the tarfile>.tar.gz <filenames which must be in it>
An extremely easy way to share files is using NFS, or samba mounts (that way all the network handling is transparent)

One Step DVD quality

I have been reading the posts about using IMOVIE09 and then using IDVD. I understand the quality is not great because of IMOVIE09 and the way it does the import.
IS the quality better if I skip IMOVIE and use the One Step DVD option in IDVD directly? I am importing Mini-DV tapes.
Thanks

Hi
IS the quality better if I skip IMOVIE and use the One Step DVD option in IDVD directly? I am importing Mini-DV tapes.
YES !
else on Quality and iDVD - my notes
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
(I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
to get this to work I
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
• Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
• Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
• No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
• and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
• and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start a brand new iDVD project
• Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
• Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
Try to break the process up into two stages
• Save as a DiskImage (calculating part)
• Burn from this .img file (burning stage)
To isolate where the problem starts.
Another thing is - Playing it onto a Blu-Ray Player. My PlayStation3 can play BD-disks but not all of my home made DVDs so to get this to work I
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
• Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
• Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
• No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc

• Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
• Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show
• No File Vault on - Important
• NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
• Lot's of icons on DeaskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
• Start a new User-Account and log into this and iMovie get's faster too - if a project is in a hurry
• And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery

ONE STEP HELP

I started to do a One Step From my DV Cam to DVD. I thought i had enough space on my HD but evidently that was not the case. I got a disk full message so i hit the stop button on iDVD. It did not stop so I had to Force Quit. iDVD seemed to have used up to 5 gig of my Hard Drive and for the life of me i cannot find the iDVD One Step DVDPROJ on my drive. I did spotlight.. and nothing. Any Idea on where the file might be/

OK. Normally iDvd does generate temporary folder for One Step. But I found a work around. I did some testing of my own within One Step iDvd to see if there is a way to tweak iDvd'08 to create a captured folder to the desktop. To my surprise, the answer is Yes ... you can do this under "Advanced" preference settings apparently. But you cannot address these preferences within one step itself or while One step is actually launched. However, you should be able to address these advanced preference settings while any of the other types of Dvd's are selected or launched. Quit iDvd and then launch One Step again. It will make a QT file ... Should generate a .mov to the desktop that looks something like this:
Click Here
I took pictures of my desktop during the entire process in a step-by-step procedure that follows:
Click here
Click on "change" and set the location to the desktop.
(It's worth noting you can address multiple copies of a 1 step w/in iDvd itself after the first copy is completed/burned).
Hope these steps are helpful but if not just come on back. And Good luck!

How to validate XML against XSD and parse/save in one step using SAXParser?

How to validate XML against XSD and parse/save in one step using SAXParser?
I currently have an XML file and XSD. The XML file specifies the location of the XSD. In Java code I create a SAXParser with parameters indicating that it needs to validate the XML. However, SAXParser.parse does not validate the XML, but it does call my handler functions which save the elements/attributes in memory as it is read. On the other hand, XMLReader.parse does validate the XML against the XSD, but does not save the document in memory.
My code can call XMLReader.parse to validate the XML followed by SAXParser.parse to save the XML document in memory. But this sound inefficient. Besides, while a valid document is being parsed by XMLReader, it can be changed to be invalid and saved, and XMLReader.parse would be looking at the original file and would think that the file is OK, and then SAXParser.parse would parse the document without errors.

Have you looked at the XML DB FAQ thread (second post) in this forum? It has some examples for validating XML against schemas.

Using "One Step DVD from Movie" on my IMac 10.8.6 using Verbatim DVD-R ("Life Series") 4.7 GB 16X 120, I get a wide angle version of my two minute story rather than the 3X4 standard aspect ratio that I normally get and want. Help!

While using "One Step DVD from Movie" using DVD-R Verbatim ("Life Series" 4.7 16 X 120 min) on my IMac 10.6.8 I get a wide angle aspect ratio on the DVD not the standard 3X4 aspect ratio. The Quicktime Movie is is standard 3X4 aspect ratio and the video video footage is standard 3X4 aspect ratio? Advice will be greatly appreciated.

Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
Click to view full size
3 - reboot.
4 - launch IDVD and try again.
Personally I would not the the one step method but create the iDVD project from scratch so you can make sure the widescreen option is not selected in the preferences and you can follow this workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How do I scan & save a PDF in just ONE step?

How do I scan & save a PDF in just ONE step? I can easily scan a document to an OCR'd PDF, but it does not seem to save it until I manually select "save". Seems there should be a way to set up scans to a particular folder destination, with a naming convention & auto numbering, such as YYYYmmDD-0001, YYYYmmDD-0002, etc. I've looked thru the Create>PDF form scanner>configure presets, and no such item seems to exist. There IS a "add to existing document", but that's not what I want to do. I just want to select "scan", and have it create an OCR'd PDF file in a folder.

Hi,
You can achieve this via Action wizard. Auto Numbering is not possible however you can combine Scan and Save As in one action.
Click Tool>Action Wizard
Create New Action
See screenshot and set the options that i have highlighted in blue
Let me know if that helps.

Export to PDF and Print to Postscript (in one step)

I am seeking a script that will do the following consecutively:
* Export to PDF (PDF settings never changes, output directory never changes)
* Print to PS (printer preset that is used never changes, output directory never changes)
It would save us a lot of time in our workflow having to do this in one step, with a single keyboard shortcut.
Since the same PDF and Printer presets are always used, as well as the output directories, It would
probably be easy to include those settings in the script itself, as opposed to some preference file, I'm guessing.
If anyone can help me write this, I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Destin

Thanks Gerald for the suggestion.
Looks like some powerful software there... and a bit pricey for what I need to do (over $500 US dollars, yikes).
Surely the script I am seeking is much less involved than that. I suppose I'll have to try to do some Javascript myself,
which will be a learning experience...

One step idvd was was connecting with camera and it has stopped connecting

i had camera Canon Elura 100 connected to firewire to computer. I was using one step IDVD and it was working. Starting using I movie on another camera
downloading from a camera card. Went back hook up firewire to Cannon camera and it will not read the camera now. I have reboot, replugged in and still will not work any suggestions?

Hi
May be help here
NO CAMERA or A/D-box
Cable
• Are You sure that You are using the FireWire Cable - USB-Cable will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin (or 9-pin) FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
• Toggle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on <-> off some times)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
• Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
• Camera set in Playback mode - NOT Recording mode
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK e.g. recording and playback to TV)
A/D-box
• Is the dip-switches set right ?
• Set to same standard as recorded/editing e.g. NTSC 29.97fps or PAL 25fps
• Try resetting it
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
• FireWire-port - Can be re-setted by - Turn off Mac and disconnecting Mac from Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes
External device’s (hard disk’s)
• Should be FireWire as USB/USB2 performs badly and so does Airport or Net-work connected ones too.
• MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - DO NOT WORK for video due to 4Gb barrier.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited.
• Does Your Mac have a FireWire Port
• White MacBooks - don't
• MacBook-Air - don't
if not then a few Mac’s has a PCM-CIA slot and there are FW-Cards that makes a FW-port this way
else - NO SOLUTION
Only option as I get it is either
• Use another Mac to Capture material (to an external USB2 - Mac OS Extended formatted hard disk - or -
• Change to another Camera that can be used with Your Mac (no there are no miniDV tape Cameras that can)
• If Your Mac-Book has a PCM-CIA Card place - then there are FW-port-Cards and then
You can import via this - but I've not seen this on more modern Macs. My PowerBook G4
has one and this FW-Card-port works greatly.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref. file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
• Screen Saver - OFF
• Energy Saver - OFF
Using WHAT versions ? .
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie’08 (7.1.?), 09 or 11 ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape
• Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
• If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.

Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpful insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten.
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check.
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About . . / More . .
under Firewire.. what do you read . . ?
More
• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
• Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
External USB hard disk = Bad Choice / FireWire = Good
If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !

Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After un-installing Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
No Camera or bad import
• USB hard disk
• Network storage
• File Vault is on

if you have adobe cs3 or 4 and have the adobe bridge on close that
or no firewire will work
see if that helps

The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconnect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

Maybe your problems is solved in the meantime, but for all others this might help as I had the same problem, also have the Sony HDR-HC7, but the 7e (Europe, PAL). I found this link today and it works perfectly
//support.sony-europe.com/tutorials/dime/videotransfer/vtransfer.aspx site=odw_en_GB&sec=DVH&m=HDR-HC7E
What I exactly did.- put camera in play mode - open guide - choose connection guide - choose comp./printer (where to transfer movie to) - select connection.- i-link (on my camera) but equal to firewire - OK - choose HDV - choose NO for conversion of i.link.
Settings are shown then (VCR HDV/DV.- HDV and i.link-conv..- OFF), press OK, OK, END.
Switch camera off. Connect firewire cable to camera & Mac. Switch camera on, in play/edit mode.
Open i-movie, choose import from camera. On screen below the camera connection is shown.- DV (HDV). Now you can import, automatically or manually.
This worked perfectly for me. Took me 2 days to find out. Could not find any clear thread explaining what I had to do on the camera and the manual was not clear either.

Can i save a query in one package and then can i move it into another .....

can i (in bw 3.5)save a query in one package and then, can i move it into another package? if yes what is the procedure? if no, why? if yes , after moving can i see that query in one package or both? plzzzzzzzz its urgent....

Hi Neeraja,
Yes, you can save a query in one package and then move it into another package and transport the query with new package.
There are two ways...
1. You can change the package assignment from one to another with the same request and transport the objects with request assigned to the new package.
2. You can create a new request and assign the new request to new package and transport the new request with new package assignment.
For first one, follow below process...
Changing the assignment:
       1.      Choose Package in the toolbar of screen area Collected Objects in RSA1 --> Transport Connection.
The Select Objects for Changing package dialog box appears.
       2.      Select the objects whose package assignment you want to change.
This procedure is especially useful for changing all collected objects, or a large number of them. For this reason, all indicators are set by default. Remove the indicators for individual objects where necessary.
Note: You can only use Details to display the details for an individual object when this is the only object that is selected.
       3.      Choose Copy. The Change Object Directory Entry dialog box appears.
       4.      Enter the new package.
For second one, you need to add the query in the transport organiser and assign new request and transport package and then go for transport. But this will create two requests on the same query. So, don't go for this. First step is preferable.
Hope this helps u...
Regards,
KK.

Gzip and FTP datafiles in one step

Gzip and FTP datafiles in one step
i have 10 datafiles in a single dir. which are between 2GB and 3GB and i want to transfer it to another host using FTP. I want to do the following:
1. gzip all the datafiles
2. FTP them to target server
i want to accomplish this via shell script. Also i want do it in single step so as to save time.. something like below example:
mknod pipe.dmp p
nohup gzip -cNf < pipe.dmp > exp_infdbt01.dmp.gz &
nohup exp userid=system/xxxxx file=pipe.dmp log=exp_infdbt01_$date.log owner=INFADMIN &
Here a pipe is used to gzip the dump file as it generates the dump file and output it to exp_infdbt01.dmp.gz simultaneously..
How can i do something similar to above to accomplish above task in shell script in for loop.. i tried but didn't worked. Any other way?
I have RHEL 4 edition....using BASH shell

you can zip all files in one file quite convenient using tar: tar czf <name of the tarfile>.tar.gz <filenames which must be in it>
An extremely easy way to share files is using NFS, or samba mounts (that way all the network handling is transparent)

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.
