Config script after image??

I'm a complete newb to ZenWorks.
After imaging a laptop or PC and rebooting the machine there's this configuration script that runs and you have to wait for it before you can reboot. What exactly is going on during this process that takes so long? As far as I've been told it renames the computer and "other stuff". If the script fails then we're told to just manually rename the PC and call it good.
So why wait for the script at all if I could just force the machine down, rename it manually and reboot it which would actually be faster to do unless I was imaging a whole lab of computers.
So what's really going on behind the scenes?

How to automatically create the custom migration scripts after recreating SSMA project?

How to automatically create the custom data migration scripts after recreating SSMA project?
There is number of tables ( big tables with BLOBS) which I want to set up automatically to be migrated with custom migration scripts (replacing e.g. attribute named "FILE" with "TO_BLOB('') AS FILE" ).
So the question is how to open MB file (I think that it should be standard db of some destktop RDBMS) ?

Hi Roman.Pokrovskij,
According
to your description, we can use SSMA tool to migrate data from one database (including Access, Oracle and so on) to SQL Server via GUI or the scripts. There is an example about migrating Access database to SQL Server via the
custom migration scripts, you can review refer to them.

There is a similar scripts about migrating Oracle database to SQL Server, you can use powershell script to automatically run the console for scripts/variable files, saved in the specified folder. For more information, review the following

Using powershell to name a device after imaging

Hi All,
I am trying to use a combination of a preboot bundle and powershell scripts to name a pc after initial imaging or reimaging.
- Reimaging seems to work as long as the pc is joined to the windows domain after installation of zcm11.2.4 client
but
what is a reliable way to obtain the computer name for a pc not previously imaged, and name the device after imaging. I have been trying to use powershell scripts as per https://www.novell.com/communities/c...-registration/ .... but I seem to be missing something (I also do not have the HP bios utility available).
Any ideas or words to provide clarity would be appreciated.
Thank you
Peter

Hi
Not sure I get what the issue is? It works, no? Is it the order
that's the problem?
Are you not able to rename with PS, or?

Adding ZTIWipeDisk.wsf after image capture for reference VM

Hi,
For the automation of the reference VMs I want to add a task to run the ZTIWipeDisk.wsf script after the image capture is complete. This is because the creation of VMs is too "complicated" in this particular customer environment, so I want
to wipe the disk to avoid the
“Press any key to boot from CD or DVD….” message from derailing the automation for reference image builds/updates.
I've added WipeDisk=TRUE in the customsettings.ini added a task at the end to run
ZTIWipeDisk.wsf, but it doesn't run, nor does anything get logged, so not sure if it's possible to achieve.
Has anyone tried this before?
Cheers,
Jeremy

Run a script after a package is updated?

Is it possible to run a script after a package is updated? I have Anki use a custom config folder (~/.anki instead of the default ~/Anki) and every time Anki updates it reverts back to the default folder. It's not such a burden to make a script that fixes this and run it manually after every update, but it would be nice if it worked automatically. So is there any way to monitor what pacman updates and run a script after it updates a certain package?

If you're modifying a config file to change this, and pacman is overwriting it, consider adding the config file to pacman's NoUpgrade array in pacman.conf (man pacman.conf for details). If you feel that lots of people would benefit from this file being exempt from the upgrade process, file a bug report/feature request, and the maintainer may make the change in the package itself.

Scripting photoshop image browser

Hello.
Is it possible to script the image browser?
I need to make the browser to:
- jump to certain folder or network path
- display certain images based on metadata
Any suggestion regarding the idea and any hint where to look for existing source code to start with is well appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for dropping by and the hints provided.
The image browser I meant was the file browser found within Photoshop CS. Can't I use it? Photoshop CS4 does not have File Browser?
I have not used CS4 and I don't have Bridge software. I might consider buying it if the existing will not help me.
I am using VB6 GUI as my tool in scripting Photoshop. Can I script Bridge with VB6? I know I am using an old version of Photoshop and that because I have developed many tools for my own use based on Photoshop CS (known as 8).
Is there any tools that can convert my old VB code to work with Photoshop CS4?
OR
Will my old scripting code is going to work with new versions of photoshop?
Thanks

Before , after images not populating in cube

Hi All,
we have a data flow wherein the data from the dso is extracted delta wise to cube . Now for a particulat document , the doc did come to ods and then to cube . then in r/3 there a change to the document , this was then again extracted to ods and then to cube . now the problem is
the cube is showing both the values of before change and after change in the cube . I checked in the ODS only one record of changed value is there. in the change log after, before and new images for the doc no is there but in the cube the data is doubling up intead of showing th latest.
Any idea why this is happening.
Does compression play any part.
some more info to understand better:-
in cube already KF1 = 100 , ch1 = 'a' ch2 = 'b'.
sam in ods KF1 = 100 , ch1 = 'a' ch2 = 'b'.
now in r/3 change ch1 from 'a' to 'n'.
so in ods KF1 = 100 , ch1 = 'n' ch2 = 'b'.
in change log table
KF1 = 100 , ch1 = 'a' ch2 = 'b'   record mode = n
KF1 = -100 , ch1 = 'a' ch2 = 'b'. record mode = b
KF1 = 100 , ch1 = 'n' ch2 = 'b'. record mode = (after image)
now in cube
KF1 = 100 , ch1 = 'a' ch2 = 'b'
KF1 = 100 , ch1 = 'n' ch2 = 'b'
SO the key figures are adding up , which should not be the case.

Sushmita

Hi Sushmita,
In ODS only if the key fields are same, then any change in Data Fields will be overwritten. And the new record will be updated to the cube.In cube data is not overwritten instead it is added or updated.
For eg:
DSO
Key field   Data Field
A                 100
B
C
So initially in cube also these values will be there.
Now suppose keeping all the Key Fields same, the data field is changed to 200 in R/3. So in DSO an after image will come and u will see that in the change log table there are 3 records, one will 100, another will be -100 and another will be 200.
But when u take that data into cube the data field value will be added up to 300.
However if Key field value 'A' is changed to 'D' in R/3 then in cube there will be 2 records
One having Key fields as A B C and Data Field as 100
Another having Key Field as D B C and Data Field as 100.
If you want to delete the first request from cube and only update the new record then you will have to delete contents of the cube and freshly load it.
Hope it helped.

Problem with Java Script after upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI7

Dear Colleagues,
We're facing the issue with Java Script after upgrade of BW 3.5 to BI7.
Just after update we checked the basic functionality and it occured that some of web templates that use Java Script don't work. They generate seelction screen, but after selection the screen becomes blank without any error messages.
We're currently stucked since web templates weren't converted to BI7 version so they should work exactly as before the upgrade.
We compared the Java code with other environment that was not upgraded - it's perfectly the same.
The only explanation that comes to my mind is that some Java Script settings on the server level were changed during the upgrade but I have no idea where I can check that.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Andrzej Bobula

Hi Deepu,
Thanks, it was great to read your reply and then few minutes later talk to you live on SDN Day!
Unfortunately, http cache clean-up did not help. But there is another funny thing I found - for exactly the same 3.5 webtemplate html code returned from WebAS 3.5 was different then from 7.0.
Unfortunately, this editor does not allow to paste complete code, even in CODE brackets, but here are main differences:
3.5
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
<frame src="/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=1&REQUEST_NO=1&CMD=GET_TEMPLATE"
name="Content">
and
7.0
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet Explorer")!=-1)
<frame src="/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=E&PAGENO=8&REQUEST_NO=0&CMD=GET_TEMPLATE"
name="Content" 0nLoad="javascript:loadTitle()">
(I intentionaly put 0 i/o o in 0nLoad, otherwise Forum's editor does not accept the text.
How about SAP's claim that technical upgrade from 3.x to 7.0 changes nothing?

Vitaliy

Data Loading(Before and After Image)

I heard that a datasource which has both "Before and After Image " ,then the data can be sent directly to the infocube or from the DSO to the Infocube but where as
If a datasource supports after image then first it has to be loaded to the DSO and then to the Infocube ,
My question is how to know the image types of the datasource ?

Hi Ravi,
Check in ROOSOURCE tables in ECC. You can find the behvariaour options in DELTA field, so based on this table we can say will it support Cube/ODS.
    Delta Only Via Full Upload (ODS or InfoPackage Selection)
A    ALE Update Pointer (Master Data)
ABR    Complete Delta with Deletion Flag Via Delta Queue(Cube-Comp)
ABR1    Like Method 'ABR' But Serialization Only by Requests
ADD    Additive Extraction Via Extracto (e.g. LIS Info Structures)
ADDD    Like 'ADD' But Via Delta Queue (Cube-Compatible)
AIE    After-Images Via Extractor (FI-GL/AP/AR)
AIED    After-Images with Deletion Flag Via Extractor (FI-GL/AP/AR)
AIM    After-Images Via Delta Queue (e.g. FI-AP/AR)
AIMD    After-Images with Deletion Flag Via Delta Queue (e.g. BtB)
CUBE    InfoCube Extraction
D    Unspecific Delta Via Delta Queue (Not ODS-Compatible)
E    Unspecific Delta Via Extractor (Not ODS-Compatible)
FIL0    Delta Via File Import with After-Images
FIL1    Delta Via File Import with Delta Images
NEWD    Only New Records (Inserts) Via Delta Queue (Cube-Compatible)
NEWE    Only New Records (Inserts) Via Extractor (Cube-Compatible)
O
ODS    ODS Extraction
X    Delta Unspecified (Do Not Use!)

Compare BEFORE and AFTER image in replicat

Do any of You experts know how to make the following code smaller?
...,p_kolonner=@STRCAT("ID='",@IF(@COLTEST(BEFORE.ID,PRESENT),BEFORE.ID,""),"'>'",@IF(@COLTEST(ID,PRESENT),ID,""),"'¤",
"OBSOLETED_ON='",@IF(@COLTEST(BEFORE.OBSOLETED_ON,PRESENT),BEFORE.OBSOLETED_ON,""),"'>'",@IF(@COLTEST(OBSOLETED_ON,PRESENT),OBSOLETED_ON,""),"'¤",
"SMRT_ID='",@IF(@COLTEST(BEFORE...The actual parameter would look like:
P_KOLONNER: ID=''>'11531'¤OBSOLETED_ON=''>''¤SMRT_ID=''>'1'¤SM_SMID=''>'2011X0074-00'¤SMT_ID=''>''...
This code is part of the params section of a sqlexec in a replicat file where I want to concatenate before and after images of a table into one parameter. I have to replace all NULLs with '' or the whole string evaluates to NULL when one of the columns are NULL. I have a procedure receiving the parameter.
How do I write this code shorter? I have to use less code to accomplish the same thing.

Hi Yosemite:
You're right, the correct term is "Key Fields", in the previous post I made a mistake when referring to it as "Key Part", I'm sorry for the confusion.
Anyway, it is not clear to me if you managed to solve the problem or if you're still struggling with your data loads, if this is the case, Could you please elaborate?
-Which is the data source you are working with?
-Did you map the ROCANCEL field both to the 0STORNO and 0RECORDMODE InfoObjects?
-Are you using Addition or Overwrite on the Update Rules/Transformation Rules to the DSO?
-Have you applied any relevant SAP Note to fix this issue?
In case you have not read the blog by Swapna Gollakota, take a look at it, you might find it useful.

How to covert before and after image details from logdump to SQL

Instead of below ascii format output, i need to know the complete sql statement before update and after update.

Oracle GoldenGate canonical format. FORMATSQLgenerates SQLstatements (INSERT, UPDATE,
DELETE) that can be applied to both SQLand Enscribe tables by utilities other than Oracle

NOTE Do not use FORMATSQL if the data will be processed by the Replicat process.
Replicat expects the default canonical format. Do not use FORMATSQLif

A FORMATSQL statement affects all extract files or trails defined after it.
Default output
Without options, FORMATSQLtransactions are output as follows, in comma-delimited format:
● The begin-transaction indicator, B.
● The timestamp at which the transaction was committed.
● The sequence number of the transaction log in which the commit was found.
● The relative byte address (RBA) of the commit record within the transaction log.
● The SQL statements.
● The commit indicator, C.

Before image and after image is not updating correctly with 2LIS_04_P_ARBPL

Hello BW gurus
I am facing problem with the posting date extraction from the extractor 2lis_04_p_arbpl. I am getting incorrect before image and after image. Please let me know how to solve this problem.
Thanks and regards
kiran.

Hi,
It is difficult to check this in the Source System and there is no direct method. I can give you a workaround which we did analysed for some of delta datasources.
Steps to be followed sequentiall once the step is successful:
1. Create a Production order or something.. Note down the number.
2. Check the datasource whether you get the same Production Order as delta
3. Now do whatever confirmation etc . for the same Production Order
4. Check the datasource (RSA3) and see wat it extracts.. might be multiple records..
In that case just see the sequence of records.. and the changes each record has brought in.. hope this way we can simulate the delta datasource realtime..
And if you find the sequence or somthin is correct and in BW is not updating properly then it is our fault to dig and find out further.. If the issues is at the RSA3 itself, then u can raise an OSS Message as a Bug.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Chathia.

What are Before and After Images ?

Hello Masters,
Best wishes to all.
For the past one week I've learnt many concepts from SDN, got all my doubts clarified.
On the same roll, I have one more question
What are Before and After Images ?
Where do we come across these terms ?
Could you please explain with an example ?
I always thank my replies in points
Thanks in advance...

Hai....
Before and After Images:
This Term is Used in the " Change Log "....
Change Log is one of the Table used in ODS....
That means the Changes in Running Request in ODS....
Example:
If you Enter the Request to " New Table" after activation the Request will be Deleted From the Table, You can see that in Change log......
Assign Points If It Halps....

Rollover effect - before/after image?

Hello all.
I would like to create a "before and after" image to show retouching capability. In other words, when the visitor's cursor hovers over the "before" image it changes to the "after" image. Is this possible in Dreamweaver CC? Thanks.

Sure. This rollover method uses pure CSS.
