Build specification Destination Does Not Preserve Hierarchy

I have a destination configured in my build specification (application) so that I can include required LabVIEW and non-LabVIEW files in my builds. This destination is configured as a directory with "Preserve disk hierarchy" checked. Under "Source File Settings", I have one of the folders in my project configured to use the aforementioned destination.
There are two issues that occur when I build my application. The first is that it ignores empty folders entirely. The second is that I have one folder that contains files (this folder is a child of the folder that is listed in the build spec) and when I build, it completely ignores the child hierarchical step. I.e. It omits the child folder completely and put's the child folder's contents in the parent/top-most folder. E.g.:
Source:
source/ParentFolder/ChildFolder/file1.ext
source/ParentFolder/ChildFolder/file2.ext
Build Result:
builds/ParentFolder/file1.ext
builds/ParentFolder/file2.ext
If I put a dummy file (or another child folder with a dummy file) in "ParentFolder", it will then actually preserve the hierarchy of the files (empty folders are still ignored though). Note that the ParentFolder is "Always Included" under the build spec's "Source Files".
I need to be able to preserve the hierarchy without having to use a dummy file (this would be extremely confusing and could get deleted easily by future developers) or having to remove this hierarchical step in the folder structure (this code was inherited).
I'm using LabVIEW 2013 SP1.

Actually this has been discussed before -- a lot. The builder will not create an empty directory, and it only counts files as contents.

Importing clips from iMovie HD does not preserve capture date

Hi,
I am importing iMovie HD projects into iMovie 09.
The clips in iMovie HD (originally imported from DV) have the correct capture date/time on them.
However, when I import these clips into iMovie 09, it does not preserve these dates for the events but instead chooses to use the "file create date/time" as the event date time.
Is this info lost forever in iMovie 09 or is there some setting that can use the original clip capture date info as the event date/time?
Thanks.

With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or album.

With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or even the album sort order (for example when adding 2 albums stored in a unique folder). Anyone has any ideas ? Been stumped for a while....!!!

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

Destination does not exist (help please)

Background:
- Using Flex Builder 3 plugin for Eclipse
- Downloaded latest BlazeDS release build
- Running Tomcat 6.0.16
=======
First I want to note the samples that come with BlazeDS run
absolutely fine.
So I created a new project in Flex Builder 3. I'm just trying
to get something simple working at first so my one mxml file is as
follows (I stripped out everything except the code in question):
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">
<mx:RemoteObject id="ro"
destination="enrollmentService"/>
<mx:DataGrid
dataProvider="{ro.getEnrollmentList.lastResult}" width="100%"
height="100%"/>
<mx:Button label="Get Data"
click="ro.getEnrollmentList()"/>
</mx:Application>
=====
I created and EnrollmentService class and I'm sure it's
getting compiled to WEB-INF/class...I see .class file there.
I added the flex folder to the WEB-INF folder. My
remoting-config.xml is as follows (because of problems I specified
a default and repeated it to be sure):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<service id="remoting-service"
class="flex.messaging.services.RemotingService">
<adapters>
<adapter-definition id="java-object"
class="flex.messaging.services.remoting.adapters.JavaAdapter"
default="true"/>
</adapters>
<default-channels>
<channel ref="my-amf"/>
</default-channels>
<destination id="enrollmentService">
<properties>
<source>test.service.EnrollmentService</source>
</properties>
<channels>
<channel ref="my-amf"/>
</channels>
</destination>
</service>
My services-config has the following channel defined:
<channel-definition id="my-amf"
class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
<endpoint url="
http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf"
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
<properties>
<polling-enabled>false</polling-enabled>
</properties>

So I start Tomcat from Eclipse and run the app by clicking
the Run button in Eclipse. The app comes up fine, but when I press
the "Get Data" button. I get the error message below. For the life

I have specified a channel. This is so frustrating...any help would
be greatly appreciate.

While creating a Flex project using Flex builder, did you
select the server type for your project? If you did not select a
server type for your flex project, did you configure your compiler
to include your services-config.xml using the -services argument?
In your project's compiler settings, add -services
"configurationfiles/services-config.xml" argument to the compiler
arguments. The path should point to your services-config.xml.
If the above mentioned steps were completed and still your
facing problem, can you please try running "clean" on your project.
Hope this helps.

Configuration Template Builder WL8.1 does not work

Hello,
     After spending nearly 2 days now trying to get a Configuration Template
built, I've concluded this simply does not work. Has anyone used the
Config Template builder to package a semi-complex application on top of WLI?
     I'm trying to have 2 of my applications, the JMS and JDBC resources,
and a WLI event generator packaged up for easy deployment to someone
else's server configuration. The problem with this is that there are
required resources for WLI, namely a database. The Pointbase database
included for WLI does not get included in the template automatically.
There are also some flat-out bugs:
If you choose to include a resource adapter "application", such as
jms-xa-adp.rar, the template builder does not bundle this in the
template and deploy it correctly. The template builder restricts you to
putting applications in the relative path starting at ./
For jms-xa-adp.rar, its original location is in $WL_HOME/server/lib, and
the template builder defaults to put it in ./lib of your template.
However, when you create a domain with the template, jms-xa-adp.rar does
not get placed in your ./lib directory. This causes you to then go and
manually edit your config.xml to point back at $WL_HOME/server/lib or to
manually copy jms-xa-adp.rar into your ./lib directory (which the
template mechanism should do for you).
Relative paths in the config.xml file require you to execute the config
builder from the directory of the domain you are making a template for.
The template builder should instead be smart enough to realize that
relative paths in the config.xml file are relative to the directory that
the config.xml is in, not the one you are running the template builder
from. You'll get an error when trying to create the template cause it
won't find the resources if you're not in that directory.
If anyone has successfully used this to package a WLI application in a
template, please share your experiences and how to do so. In the
meantime, I'm claiming there is no way to nicely package up a server
configuration for a WLI app in Weblogic, and this is a big shortcoming.
Weblogic needs a simple transferrable way of creating server
configurations (it tries to do this with the template, but that is
failing). With JBoss, for example, you simply copy your server directory
into another installation. This doesn't work with Weblogic unfortunately
because it puts hard-coded paths in the config.xml file.
Thanks

Russ,
     Thank you for the detailed responses. The only one I'm currently
struggling with still is the #5, with the scripts between the two. One
of the major benefits of using a J2EE App Server is supposed to be the
portability between servers. I find it disconcerting that BEA Weblogic
restricts me to the platform I created the domain on by creating
platform-specific startup/shutdown scripts for only the platform created
on. It's understandable that a script converter would be difficult, but
at least both the .sh/.cmd files should be created from the first time
you make a domain. If the user only wants one or the other, they can
delete the appropriate one. It's also understandable that the
users/deployers shouldn't have to manually convert a startup/shutdown
script to take the domain to a different box.
     JBoss clearly has BEA beat on ease of deployment here. Their model is
the concept I'm thinking of: you have some generic startup/shutdown
scripts that can load a platform-independent server configuration. You
truly can copy directories as-is between JBoss installations.
     I was hoping to package up a server domain for use on any of the
supported platforms, but since I don't have the time to manually convert
the startup/shutdown scripts, I'm going to have to tell people it's only
for Solaris now.
     Hopefully BEA can fix this in a future SP. There's no need for this
platform-dependency. Also, if the Windows version can generate both
scripts at creation time, then the Solaris should be able to do this as
well (or at least give you the option).
Thanks again for the replies

Hi Steven,
I have several comments and questions about your last two posts. I will try to
address them in order.
1) "The Pointbase database included for WLI does not get included in the template
automatically."
     By default the template builder only includes the *.cmd and *.sh files in the
template from your domain directory. If you begin building with an existing
domain template all files that were in the template will get included. This was
done because there is no way for the builder to automatically determine all the
files that are required by your template/domain and we steered away from recursively
including all files from the directory so that unused files were not needlessly
included. We can extrapolate some files based on the application paths in the
config.xml, but the rest is left up to the template builder to be aware of what
is needed for their domain to run. So, if you need the Pointbase *.dbn and *.wal
files included in your template just select these files on the ?Add Files? panel
of the template builder and add them to the ?Domain Directory?.
2) ?If you choose to include a resource adapter "application", such as jms-xa-adp.rar,
the template builder does not bundle this in the template and deploy it correctly.?
     The template builder considers application files to be in two categories: Imported
or Internal. When you are at the ?Add Applications? panel of the builder you
will see a checklist of all the applications that are in the domain you selected.
On the right hand side there are two text fields. The top one displays the application
path as it is currently set in the config.xml of that domain. The bottom field
will be different depending on what category the application falls into. As you
click on each application in the list, you may notice that the bottom field may
change from an editable field titled ?Imported Application Path? to a non-editable
field titled ?Internal Application Path?. The difference between the two categories
is that an ?Imported? application?s files will be included in the template jar.
An ?Internal? application?s files will not be included in the template jar because
they are considered internal to the weblogic installation. The jms-xa-adp.rar
should fall into the internal category and should not get included in your template.
     From what you are describing it sounds like the builder attempted to import that
application when it should not have. In an attempt to recreate the problem you
are seeing I deployed that Connector Module through the WLS console and ended
up with an application path of ?C:\bea\weblogic81\server\lib? where ?C:\bea\weblogic81?
is my WL_HOME (a.k.a. USER_INSTALL_DIR). If I then attempt to build a template
from this domain, the builder recognizes this as an internal path and does not
include it inside my template. If the current application path you had looks
different from the one above, that may explain why the builder was attempting
to import it. What was the value of the ?Current Application Path? for that application
deployment?
3) ?Relative paths in the config.xml file require you to execute the config builder
from the directory of the domain you are making a template for.?
     The builder is ?smart? enough to determine relative paths. You should not have
to invoke it from the domain directory you are working with. There is a known
bug in the WebLogic Platform 8.1.1.0 release of the template builder that will
cause it to not find files with relative paths in your domain directory if the
application path in the config.xml is just a ?.?. If this is the case, you should
see a FileNotFoundException when you attempt to create the template. This will
be fixed in SP2 and you can work around this problem by changing those paths to
?./? instead. If this was not the case, what was the path the wizard choked
on?
4) ?Looking through the config file, it seems that it's all of the WLI components
that have absolute paths in the config file. In addition, BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK has
an absolute path, not sure if that is WLI or WLS. ?
     BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK is an integration application. If you created the original
domain using the configuration wizard most of the applications in an integration
enabled domain will reference paths inside of you installation directory or ?internal?
paths. For instance, I used the wizard to create a ?Basic WebLogic Integration
Domain?. The path for that application in this domain is: ?C:\bea\weblogic81/integration/adapters/dbms/lib/BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK.ear?
where ?C:\bea\weblogic81? is my WL_HOME or USER_INSTALL_DIR. When I load this
domain into the builder it shows this application as ?internal? and the ?Internal
Application Path? is "$USER_INSTALL_DIR$/integration/adapters/dbms/lib/BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK.ear".
This will be set as the path value of this application in the config.xml that
will be included in the template you build. When you later use the Configuration
Wizard on this template it will substitute the $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ to the value
of the installation directory of the machine you are creating it on.
     If you were to Change these to relative paths, as Mark previously suggested,
it will only work if you copy the domain directory to the same location relative
to your installation directory on the target machine. Also, if you copy the domain
in this manner you will more than likely run into problems with your start/stop
scripts and be forced to hand modify all the paths contained within. The configuration
wizard tries to alleviate these problems and make the configuration entirely portable.
This gives the user who creates the domain from your template the ability to
put it anywhere they want regardless of the paths in the config.xml.
5) ?However, there is another major problem with the Template Builder: it only
includes the startup/shutdown script for the platform you create the template
on. ???I built the template on Solaris with the UNIX scripts. However, I tried
to create a new config on Windows with this template, and the scripts were not
converted to .bat files!?
     As I stated previously, the builder will only include *.cmd and *.sh scripts
into your template by default. If you created the domain on a unix platform using
the configuration wizard it will not extract the *.cmd files since these aren?t
considered to be useful on unix. If you were then to attempt building a template
from this domain and take it onto a windows platform, it will obviously be missing
any windows scripts. Conversely, the wizard will extract *.sh scripts on windows
because they can still be useful if a user has an MKS or Cygwin type environment
installed. The config wizard and template builder do not have the ability to convert
scripts. The builder will only include existing scripts that are in your domain
directory and automatically determine any necessary string substitutions that
will be needed. Please note that since WebLogic is only supported on the NT/2K/XP
versions of windows you will find that the wizards use ?.cmd? files and not ?.bat?
files since these are more commonly associated with Win 95/98/ME.
     I will be happy to answer any more questions you may have and would also like
to take a look at your domain configuration to try and get a better understanding
of the problems you are encountering.
thanx,
russ

JCoDestination Problem: JCO_ERROR_RESOURCE: Destination does not exist

Hello Experts,
I followed the JCo3 tutorial of accessing backend ABAP system.
I implemented the following code:
File configuration = new File(JCO_DESTINATION_APP +".jcoDestination");
if(!configuration.exists() || updateprovider) {
   Properties properties = new Properties();
   properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_ASHOST, Configuration.getInstance().ashost);
   properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_SYSNR, Configuration.getInstance().sysnr);
   properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_CLIENT, Configuration.getInstance().client);
   properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_USER, Configuration.getInstance().user);
   properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_PASSWD, Configuration.getInstance().passwd);
   properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_LANG, Configuration.getInstance().lang);
   properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_POOL_CAPACITY, "" + Configuration.getInstance().connections);
   properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_PEAK_LIMIT, "" + Configuration.getInstance().connections);
   FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(configuration, false);
   properties.store(fos, JCO_DESTINATION_APP);
   fos.close();
When I execute the following code:
this.getDestination().getAttributes()
I get the following error:

What am I missing?
Regards.

As a starter it might be best to take try out the examples that ship with the JCo3 distribution. I cannot comment much on your code, as it's an excerpt and doesn't show everything. E.g. I have no clue what the line this.getDestination().getAttributes() means; usually you retrieve destinations via the class JCoDestinationManager and there you always have to at least provide the name of the destination.
So let me give some generic comments instead:
<ul style="list-style:circle">
<li>Properties for destinations can be returned via a class that implements the interface DestinationDataProvider; you can register your own implementation (once) via static method Environment.registerDestinationDataProvider().</li>
<li>SAP ships the JCo with a generic file handler for providing destination attributes: It basically searches in the current directory (i.e. from where you started your application) for client destinations with the given name and extension ".jcoDestination" (server destinations use extension ".jcoServer"). As far as I remember you can also change the directory where those destination property files are searched for by setting System property "jco.destinations.dir".</li>
<li>I strongly recommend registering your own DestinationDataProvider (or ServerDataProvider) and so does SAP; this is especially true if you get your properties from somewhere else (as it seems to be in your case) or want some specific processing (e.g. use encrypted passwords in your properties that you decrypt upon loading).</li>
<li>For troubleshooting your existing coding I'd verify that you did actually create the file with the properties and that the file name (without the extension) matches the name that you use when trying to retrieve the destination.</li>
</ul>
Cheers, harald

Printing from Word 2008 to PDF does not preserve hyperlinks

Hi,
I have discovered that when I print a Word 2008 (ver. 12.2.4) document to PDF format using Mac OS X version 10.6.2, some of the hyperlinks are lost.
Links where the hyperlink address is visible in the document are preserved, while all others are lost. Interestingly, the PDF shows the text with the hyperlink as if it still has a hyperlink, but the link does not function. I have posted an illustration:
- original Word document (zipped): http://people.trentu.ca/~rloney/files/hyperlinktestword-to-PDF.zip
- converted PDF document: http://people.trentu.ca/~rloney/files/hyperlinktestword-to-PDF.pdf
I've tested this with both .doc and .docx formats and there is no effect, nor does it matter whether I print as PDF using Mac OS X, or convert the Word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat ver. 9.3. I have run the same test with Apple's TextEdit and all links are preserved, so this appears to be specific to Word on the Mac.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Any work around?
I will try to find a place I can report this to Microsoft as a bug.
Thank you,
Rob

Dynamic image in the template builder plug-in does not work

Hi all,
The documentation says:
Direct Insertion
Insert the jpg, gif, or png image directly in your template.
+...This works obviously+
URL Reference
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{'http://image location'}
For example, enter: url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
+...This works too when I hardcode an url as url:{'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png'}+
Element Reference from XML File
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element from your XML file that holds the full URL to the image.
+...This, however, does not work.+
I use Apex' report query tool and My query is like
select 'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png' IMAGE_LOCATION from ... (a single result set for my template)
the xml data is generated with an IMAGE_LOCATION tag. I load it to word template plug-in. The Url successfully displays in the report if I make it a plain-simple field.
But when it's in the image format->web->alt text as url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} no image displayed.
I need to keep this design procedure simple so a simple word user could design a report via using just template builder plug-in. I don't wish to explore the xsl-fo area...yet.
Could you tell me why I can't get this url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} to work?
Regards

Lookout 6.1 build 27 OPCClient does not launch the Opto 22 OPC SEVER

In the same computer, with the same Lookout 6.1 a few weeks ago, I had communication between Opto 22 OPC Server and Lookout using the OPCClient in Lookout. Settings in OPCClient were for a really fast scanning rate (50 milliseconds) and de deadband was set to zero in order to see all the inputs changes with the best resolution. These I/O units are Opto PAC EB2 brains, and the OPC Server belongs to the suite of PAC 8.0 (I tried also 8.1) of Opto 22. The I/O Configuration and the OPC configuration was done with the same OPTO22 software version.This was a test done in order to see if I can get 20 samples per second from all the I/O's. It did go well, even a little faster than required. It was informed to my bosses, then I had the 'go' for the project I'm working on. That was the main concern of everyone here; the fast communication between Lookout an the Hardware.
The computer runs windows XP SP2, has two ethernet ports; one with dynamic IP address on motherboard (for the company network), and a PCI ethernet cad with a fixed IP address in the range of the IP addresses of the Opto 22 brains dedicated to talk to these I/O units.
I called first to the tech support of OPTO 22. They shown me how to double check and to launch manually the OPC Server, there is a tester software for it. The OPC Server was launched and I saw it in the task manager under processes tab.
When I create the object in Lookout, it does not see the server, neither launches the server. I can see the data members of the OPCClient, but I can not see the variables or tags from the server.
Again, it did work a few weeks before in the same PC, with the same Lookout and the same Opto 22 as a test. Now I need to add the OPCClient to my application and make the corresponding connections, but I can't.
This is becoming a kind of hurry, time is running and the application can not get to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

When the OPC Client object is created, I can select the OPTO22OPCSever.2 in the dropdown list of servers. It is there, and the object can be configured normally. I must see in the object explorer (expanding the OPCClient object) the tags configured in OPTO 22 Server,but they are not there. The Client object only shows its data members. Once Lookout is open with the OPCClient, the task manager/services does not show Opto22OPCSever.exe running, that tells me that Lookout's client does not launch the server and that's why it does not show the tags configured in the server.
I have uninstalled Opto 22 software and re-installed, I called Opto 22 tech support and they shown me a way to launch manually the server, even how to monitor some of the values of its tags. I saw the Opto22OPCServer.exe in the processes list of the task manager, I read values of some tags with the OPC tester, To me, the server side is working fine.
Then, I installed Lookout .During this process there was an error 1922 and a message saying that files mssgl.mdf, mssgl.mdl, and mssgl.ldl are not found, These files must be located in C:\ Program Files\ National Instruments\Lookout 6.1\ Database. During the first installation of Lookout 6.1, I followed the instructions in the README file, where some specific commands must be typed in the run windows and executed to create the database properly. It was done, no errors were displayed during the first installation.
The thing is that this OPCClient/OPCServer DID WORK before. For some reason it does not work NOW.
this computer didn't have any previous version of Lookout installed, there is no possible old database messing here.
Again; the computer runs windows XP SP2, it has a dual core processor.

Master Data load does not extract Hierarchy nodes in BPC Dimension ACCOUNT

Hi Experts,
I am performing master data load through standard DM package with Filter selection as:
1. Chart of Accounts
2. Hieararchy selection has 4 hierarchy names
3. Selected Import Text nodes
4. Selected Set Filters by Attribute OR Hierarchies
I have run this DM package for a set of data and selections a week ago and it worked fine.
However when i run it now, it is giving issues,
It extracts any new GL maintained in the BI system however it does not extract any hierarchy nodes at all! (Have tested this by deleting the hierarchy nodes and tried to run the master data load)
I am running the DM package in Update and have selection as External.
Any sugestions for checks / has anyone encountered this issue earlier?

Hi Guyz,
Thanks.
I found that the issue was with the transformation file where i was maintaining the RATETYPE.
When i removed the mapping of RATETYPE this works fine. (Pulls the nodes of hierarchies)
however now i do not have Ratetype populated in the system.
my rate type mapping is:
RATETYPE=*IF(ID(1:1)=*STR(C) then *STR(TOSKIP);ID(1:1)=*STR(H) then *STR(TOSKIP);ID)
and in conversion file i have TOSKIP *skip
I have to skip the ratetypes for the hierarchy nodes and my hierarchy nodes start with C and H.
So now that i have removed the mapping for RATETYPE can anyone suggest me a correct way to achieve this? (Note the above mapping formula was skipping all of the hierarchy nodes starting with C and H)

Build thumbnail image does not take AnalogBalance into account

When I build a thumbnail, it does not take AnalogBalance into account.
dng_image_preview thumbnail;
dng_render render (host, *negative);
// Build stage 2 image.
negative->BuildStage2Image (host, ttShort);
// Build stage 3 image.
negative->BuildStage3Image (host, ttShort);
render.SetFinalSpace (negative->IsMonochrome () ? dng_space_GrayGamma22::Get () : dng_space_sRGB ::Get ());
render.SetFinalPixelType (ttByte);
render.SetMaximumSize (256);
thumbnail.fImage.Reset (render.Render ());
thumbnail.fImage.Get()->Rotate( dng_orientation::Mirror90CCW() );
thumbnail.fInfo.fColorSpace = thumbnail.fImage->Planes () == 1 ? previewColorSpace_GrayGamma22 : previewColorSpace_sRGB;

The AnalogBalance is going to affect the mapping between temp/tint values and camera neutral values. If the white balance values are already stored as camera neutral values, I would not expect it to significantly change thumbnail rendering.
It sounds like you do not understand AnalogBalance correctly.

Firefox Sync does not preserve any GUI or search settings

The sync function is supposed to store and restore all of your data. It does fine with add-ons and themes, but none of the GUI changes made to Firefox are preserved. Everything done in the "Customize" menu is left behind, along with any toolbars. Search preferences are also not transferred.
Please tell me there is a solution to this - I do not want to have to switch back to Chrome.

I saw that in the other thread about this issue as well, and did not try it, because it was reported not to work.
I had to create a new boolean - that entry isn't one of the defaults in about:config. I set it to 'true', and Sync started syncing. I waited until it finished, rebooted to my other copy of Windows, and uninstalled its copy of Firefox and deleted %APPDATA%/Mozilla/Firefox to get rid of my preferences and profiles.
I reinstalled Firefox, logged into Sync, and waited for it to sync. The UI is still the default, it's exactly the same as it was without that preference set. I even tried it all again, creating that preference before logging into Sync. The GUI was, again, not changed at all.
That value does not exist by default, and it does nothing, unfortunately.
So, the report was correct. That tip is no good.

PDF Portfolio SDK setup - Navigator project wizard in Flex Builder 4.6 does not show

Hello, Experts
I am trying to build PDF Custom Navigator using Adobe PDF Portfolio SDK; however, for some reason, when performing step 3 of installation, Navigator project wizard in Flex Builder ( 4.6 ) would not show;
The plugins have been extracted to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
The NavigatorSupport folder has been extracted to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse and ( just in case ) to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\
any advice would be greatly appreciated
Best Regards,
-Alex

as per Joel's recommendation, used 4.5 instead - that worked just fine

RFC Destination does not work for /sap/xi/adapter_plain service

Hi
We are facing a strange issue. Our business partner is trying to connect to our XI box, RFC Detination type 3 through a reverse proxy at our end. If he used /sap/xi/engine service, he gets a 500 response " empty request received". Howerevr if he connects using /sap/xi/adapter_plain, he is not getting any response, just a green tick at the bottom with no message. SMICM shows " wrong content in header response"
Regards
Monika

Hi
We are able to send data to our business partner. When he is trying to send data to us, he is not able to do so.
He needs to do so via a reverse proxy. We have replicated the scenario on our side to cross check.
We are able to connect to our XI with http/https without reverse proxy. However with reverse proxy we are not able to do so.
Also in case of http without reverse proxy, the message processing does not happen even thought RFC Connection test is successful/

Monika
