Copy application from within an application?

Ok, this may be a bit of a stretch, but is it possible to create a new application as a copy of an existing one from within an application?
To explain: I'm envisioning an APEX framework where I have a "core" application which has all of my standard functionality built in; whenever I want to build a new application, I copy that, rather than building a new one from scratch. Information about the applications (active status, authentication method, created by, last modified by, description, etc.) would be stored in a central (custom) table (this much has been covered by Scott Spendolini in this presentation).
So, I'd like to build an application which would show me the data from this central table, and also have a wizard that would a) copy the core application to a new ID, potentially setting some features in the process, and b) create the appropriate record in the central table.
Thanks,
-David

David,
I am having the same thoughts and will watch this thread. I believe what you are referring to is "subscribing to a master application" of which I have no experience in.
Just saw another thread similar to this one:

Preventing Copy & Paste from Within A Browser

I created a pdf from a WORD document. I then opened the PDF and went to ADVANCED>>SECURITY. I applied sucurity principles that would not allow copy and paste as well as printing and I locked it with a password (the document can be opened without a password).
If I try to copy and paste text with the PDF opened in Windows on my desktop, I cannot copy and paste text. However when viewing the same document within a browser (Firefox), I am easily able to copy and paste text and print. Is there a way to prevent copy and printing from within a browser?
Thanks!

PDF viewers that are compliant to the standard will not allow this. The problem is some PDF viewers are less than compliant, such as some that are built-in to browsers. It looks like Firefox's does not respect security settings.

Launch Copy Package for OWNERSHIP app from within the FINANCE app

Is it possible to launch the standard COPY package from within another application?
My case is:
I have an OWNERSHIP application with the standard dimensions ENTITY,TIME,CATEGORY,OWNACCOUNT,INTCO. I would like to copy my ownership data from one period to another as it is faster than doing data input for all my entities
Now the challenge:
I would like to launch this standard COPY package that copies OWNERSHIP data from within the FINANCE application. Otherwise the user always needs to switch from applications.
I know it was possible in v4, but I seem to forget something when trying it v7.0 SP7.
Any help is much appreciated

Dear Shoba,
I tried the following macro
Sub copytest()
Application.Run ("MNU_eData_SelectPackage(""Copy"",""system files/Copy.dtsx"",""Company"",""Ownership"")")
End Sub
When I was in the legalapp, copy package was opened but with the dimensions of the legalapp
When I changed of to the ownership and tried the macro again, it gave me the good dimensions, but that was not the purpose
When I copied the package and changed the %APP%ù it didnt work either
I even changed %dim% to ownaccount,time,category,legalentity,intco and then the good dimensions appeared when launching the package but he gave an error when selection ownaccount, as it is not a dimension of the legalapp.
Do you see other possibilities?
br,
Benjamin

Copy and/or Cut and Paste no longer works from within Firefox yet I can Paste to Notepad and yet again copy the same text from within Notepad or any app will not Paste back into Firefox, thanks

I 'Copy & Paste' from within Firefox quite often but for some reason the function has stopped working when using some sites, even the menu item 'Paste' is greyed out, yet I can open Notepad and 'Paste'. I tried pasting into 'Notepad' then copying from Notepad and pasting back into Firefox, which I've found in the past sometimes works but today even that does not work. I accept it may not actually be a Firefox problem but I have noticed since upgrading to the latest version, I am having several problems with crashing and hanging exceedingly long execution of the browser.

Copy file from client PC to server in a web deployed application

I have developed one application using Oracle forms 6i, which is deployed on the web server.
I run this application from a client PC in Internet Explorer using internet.
I want to copy one file from the client PC to the web server.
I have done following things
- Created a shared folder on the server and given full rights to every one on this folder
- I use 'net use' command in my program to connect to this shared folder
- I use copy command to copy file from local client pc to server. This copy command I am executing using host command of my programming (PL/SQL: eg. host('copy abc.txt \\server\share\') )
But this does not work.
When I do the same thing in command window, it works.
(ie. Start-Run cmd to open command window and then type the above copy command)
Can you please tell me, how to copy a file from client PC to the sever in Web deployed application?
Thanks

I downloaded D2KWUtil from the link suggested by you. It has very nice example demo form. But the documentation provided says following
Using D2KWUTIL in Web Deployed Applications
The use of this library is not supported with Web deployed applications.
In a web deployment scenario not all functions within D2KWUTIL will work. Any function that interacts with the User Interface (such as those in the WIN_API_DIALOG package) will fail.
Any interaction with the O/S by other functions will all be executed on the NT server and will act within, or return information pertinant to, the environment on that machine. For instance GET_COMPUTER_NAME will return the Server’s name, not the name of the computer that the Client browser is running on. Likewise COPY_FILE will copy files in the Forms Server not on the Client.
Functions such as those in WIN_API_BITOP will continue to work without change.
so this will not work in web deployed application.
Any other suggestion?
Thanks

Permissions problems, keep changing and can't save from within application

Hi there, we're running Mavericks server on our local network with a half dozen MBP and iMacs connected.
For a wee while now, our users have been getting permissions problems. Documents (Excel documents, InDesign, Photoshop etc.) are becoming read only and we can't save them to either the same folder from within the application. Even ones that the same user has created. The thing is, we can copy the document to our desktop and then back again to the same folder and continue to edit and save normally.
I've tried setting the Access for our "Group" to "Read & Write" but to no avail, this keeps happening. I can login to the server as admin and correct the permissions but they seem to keep reverting somewhere along the line...
Apologies if there's something obvious I'm overlooking.
Any recommendations? Would you recommend just removing all users and groups and starting again? Am I missing something?

Thanks Linc, I have selected the folders that are shared from the Server App "Storage" tab and made sure the permissions are correct and then "propogated" them.
All users belong to the same group we call "material".
Just wondering, should I do this sort of thing when no one is connected to the server? Or should I require that everyone log off and back on?

Start a WS application from within a java program

Hi,
I need to start a WebStart application from within a java program. Therefore I develeoped a class which starts javaws.exe within its main-method like this:
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
"c:\\java web start\\javaws.exe http://a.b/c.jnlp"
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
And that did not work. Java Web Start tries to start the .jnlp program but returns with the message, that the app-desc|applet-desc|installer-desc|component-desc is missing. But it is there: It is an applet and thus I defined an applet-dec.
I tried to do it from a command line with the followinf command:
java -Djnlpx.home="C:\abc" -cp "C:\abc\javaws.jar" com.sun.javaws.Main http://a.b/c.jnlp
And that works. But using this command from within my jjava prog using the Runtime.exec() method does not work.
By the way, simply type "javaws http://a.b/c.jnlp" at the command line does not work.
Can anybody help me? How may I start a .jnlp program within another java program.
Kind Regards,
Tobias Neubert

Hi,
I recently had a quite similar problem. At least the error message by the Java Web Start application on Mac OS X complained about the same error (app-desc|applet-desc|installer-desc|component-desc). It turned out to be some bad invisible characters in the jnlp file. I copied some sample from a web page which for some reason contained some unicode chars that the parser doesn't like. Use a different text editor or the less command on unix to see if there are some strange characters in you jnlp file.
But it seems strange that it does work from the command line and not from your code.

How to copy file from application server

Hello experts,
How to copy file from one folder of application server and paste it to other folder of application server(application server is same)?
Is there any function module exists???
thanks in advance
Saurabh

Hi you can use this function module to move a file from application server to another folder on application server.
call function 'WS_FILE_COPY'
           exporting
                destination = m_destination
                source      = m_source
           importing
                return      = return.
Plus u can use this function module to delete the file from that folder from which u want to replace it.
      call function 'WS_FILE_DELETE'
           exporting
                file   = m_source
           importing
                return = return.
The above FM can help u copy a file from one folder to another and delete the file from that folder.

Unable to open CS3 Files from within the application

Good Afternoon
I work as IT Support for company looking after 10 ADOBE Creative Suite 3 end-users.
One of my colleagues is unable to open Illustrator or Photoshop files from within their respective applications, but she is able to open them from outside ok.
I have reinstalled ADOBE CS3 and this appeared to resolve the issue, only for it to return again a day later.
She has no other applications or processes running during her attempt to open a file from within CS3.
She will click on Open and the 'Open File' window will flash up for a split second, then the whole application will be frozen. It is as if the 'Open File' window is there, but isnt there because we cant click on it, but the application thinks it is displaying and so she can not click on anything else. The only way to close the application is to end the process under Task Manager.
While I am sitting here tearing what little amount of hair I have on my head, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Is this a Windows problem or an ADOBE problem do you think?
I look forward to any replies.
Thank you

Hi Bob
Ok...
Opened illustrator but was unable to open the 'Open File' window.
Changed the screen resolution, it suddenly worked!
Changed the screen resolution back to as it was before, it also worked.
What could cause this do you think?
By simply changing the screen resolution and back again, the 'Open File' window displayed itself.
Very bizarre!

Error while trying to copy template from another application

Hi,
I am getting this error while trying to copy template from another application:
report error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
This report is located here:
Home-Application Builder-Application 150-Shared Components-Templates-Replace Templates
best regards,

It is usually a permissions issue.. you have read but not write permission. Why it would suddenly change is one of those Apple Mysteries... but it happens.
Open the directory (folder) where your media files are.. and check the permissions.. see if you can fix them.
The problem is the folder on the TC might have lost your ownership and you might not be able to change it.. Apple do not provide anyway to regain permissions because you would need low level access to the TC firmware.
I would just as a matter of course reset the TC to factory and redo its setup.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Do the setup via airport utility using different names.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumerics. Make sure passwords are also pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.. 8-20 characters is usually plenty.
Mount the disk in finder and see if you have the same issue.. I am not expecting a change.. but it is worth a try.
No luck you can copy your files off the TC.. wipe it .. and then copy them back.. no bad thing unless you already have a backup of your files at the moment. In which case you can just wipe the TC and copy the files now.

Calling a webservice from within Bex Web Application Designer

Hi
I have a web-template built with BEx web application designer which also contains textboxes. This text should be stored by calling a webservice (standard BI-documents are not an option).
Can anyone tell me how I could call a webservice from within the BEx web template to store the text contained in the textbox? The webservice-call should include some of the filter-varialbes of the web application.
Is this only possible by the use of a JavaScript WebItem? If so - does anyone have an example of such a JavaScript.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Kind regards.
Christoph

Thanks for your response. The BSP page would work out fine if I only needed to save the data.
But the next time I call the webtemplate, the textarea should be filled by another webservice call with the stored text (so the text can be modified und saved again). This will not be possible by calling a BSP page.
Do yoiu have any suggestions how to integrate the text (return value from the webservice call) into the textbox in the webtemplate?
Kind regards.
Christoph

Timecapsule - opening files from within an application!!

I have a time capsule... 500Mb
I have an airport extreme with external hard drive - 250 Mb.
Through Finder, I can place files on either of these drives and open them from Finder.
If I open Numbers, or Pages, then try to open any file on Timecapsule, it appears that there are no files
If I open Number, or Pages, then try to open any file on the Airport Extreme external disk - it works!
Simple question really.... why cannot I see or open any file from within an application that resides on Timecapsule?? It's driving me crazy!!!

File dialogs have the ability to "group" items, which prohibits you from changing sort options. The group icon looks like six little squares. Click on it and instead of grouping by date, group by "none" and then you can change sort orders.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
/Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

Copying text from Oracle Applications Window to other Application windows

Hi All,
I am not able to copy text from oracle applications windows to my other application windows.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Amit

Check in your organization who is able to copy the text. Then from that user machine, who is able to copy text, copy identitydb.obj file and copy to your machine (overwrite the current one)
Then clear its jcache and browser cache one time. From that point forward they can connect to both instances. This is accomplished as follows:
1. On each Client PC, you will need the new instance 1 (TEST) version of this identitydb.obj file located C:\Program Files\Oracle\identitydb.obj (default location )
2. Clear Jinitiator jcache : On the client PC delete all files found in c:\Program Files\oracle\jinitiator 11727 Export\jcache
3. Clear browser cache:
a) Netscape : Edità Preferencesà Advancedà cache and delete Memory Cache and Disk Cache
b) Internet Explorer : Toolsà Internet Options à delete Temporary Internet Files
For any further assistance pls. feel free to ask.
Regards,
