Create an alias to run a plug-in?

I'd like to create an alias on my desktop that would run an Automator plug-in.
Is this possible?
I find it clumsy to have to right-click my desktop and navigate three menus to get to it.
Thanks in advance.

Indeed I could create an alias to the workflow, but then Automator has to start and then I have to click the Run button and then quit Automator when that's done.
I just want to double-click an alias rather than right-clicking on my desktop and navigating the appropriate menus.
My workflow does not prompt me for any input when it runs; I've told it to use the same input every time (Get Specified Finder Items (External Harddrive) -> Eject Disk -> Put Computer To Sleep (this is a Cocktail action)).
At the moment I've saved the workflow as a plug-in for the Mac's script menu, which isn't as bad but still not the best.
I've discovered that you can run Automator workflows via Terminal, so I'm currently investigating if this could lead to the answer...

How to create an alias to a subtype?

Hi,
How can I create an alias to a subtype?
I.e. How can I asscciate a name with a subtype?
Associate DOM_ADDRES with the type CHAR(50) or
associate DOM_TELNO with the type NUMBER(10,0)
so I can use it in the creation of a table like
CREATE TABLE T1 (id INTEGER, addr DOM_ADDRES , tel DOM_TELNO);
I tried CREATE DOMAIN statement -> Not working, statement not
exists.
I tried SUBTYPE lll IS CHAR(3) but it only works in PL/SQL
programming, I can't create tables with that.
Is it possible? Am I doing something wrong?
I think subtyping and aliasing is very useful for readability and
reuse.
I don't want to use CREATE TYPE AS OBJECT, I do not need objects
in my DB.
I am using Oracle 8.1.7 for Linux.
TIA,
Jose P.

In my .profile this works: alias f="/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P doug"
for starting under my profile. Make sure you run source ~/.profile if you add an alias to .profile
Starting default FFox profile is /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P swxazqvy.default
And for Desktop icon to start whichever profile, open Script Editor and paste with proper changes(and save as an app(maybe to Desktop again?) :
do shell script "/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P doug"
And you can make an executable with icon in a bash script with above and chmod u+x it and save to Desktop too.

How to create an alias from the command line

Hi
I would like to know how to create an alias (for a file, not a command) from the command line. I don't want to use the ln command, as an alias has more interesting features than soft/hard links... Is there an Apple specific tool to do this?
Thanks
-Jerome
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

The only straightforward way that I am aware of for creating a "Finder" alias from the command line is using AppleScript via 'osascript'. Of course, it's not really a command line solution since the "Finder" has to be running. Anyway, something along the lines of:
<pre style="overflow:auto; padding: 5px; width: 500px ; font-size: 10px; border:1">osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to make alias file to POSIX file "/full/path/to/file" at POSIX file "/full/path/to/folder"'</pre>

you dont create a infopack on DTP rather you need to create on datasource.
rightclick on datasource - create infopack (when you schedule this infopack, it will load data only till PSA. From there you need to use DTP to load to further data targets)

Creating an alias table

Hi all. I have a situation where I need to create an alias copy of a table and then pull information from both the original and the alian (the database creators built the table to hold different description, amount, and date info in the same fields when triggered by another field. Lovely)
Can I do this in Crystal?

I believe you can just add the same table twice to your report, and specify how they should be joined. I believe Crystal will put a "2" (or some such) at the end of the second table's name for reference purposes in the report.
Or, do what I usually do, and base your report off of an SQL command, something like this (MS SQL):
select orig.order_no, ref.order_no
from orders orig, orders ref
where orig.ref_order_no = ref.order_no
I rarely use tables directly, as reports tend to run faster when based on an SQL command that just returns the required data (as opposed to whole copies of perhaps several very large tables), so I could be wrong on the first suggestion...

Using Windows Server 2012 Essentials - Creating a virtual PC running Windows 7

I have a lot to my question, but I am hoping someone out there will be able to answer it, or at least part of it for me.
My situation is I have a Centon InfiniTV 6 turner card, which means that the computer would need to be running 24x7 to record TV shows.
Which is ok, I have no problem with that. I also have a home network with all computers are able to access the recordings.
I would really like to have some server software running to help keep things better organized and also be able to access the files and stuff remotely if needed.
This is why I purchased Windows Server 2012R2 Essentials.
I have not tried to install the tuner card software on the operating system; because it is only for Windows 7 and 8, so I would think it would not work.
What I want to do is have my Windows Server 2012R2 Essentials running as the primary operating system.
Then create a virtual PC to run my copy of Windows 7, and have it use the turner card that I have installed on the computer.
This is the first question, is there any way of doing this?
From what I have read online is that Essentials does not support virtual PC’s because it does not come with hyper-v.
Is that something that can be downloaded or purchased separately from Microsoft?
I have installed the free copy of Oracle Virtual Box, but for some reason that does not show any operating system over 32 bit.
All of my software is running at 64 bit. If I can get Virtual Box working, would that fix all my issues?
Next question, is there any easy way to make a copy of my current running Windows 7 and use that to create a virtual PC running on the server?
Or will I have to reinstall it, and everything associated with it to make it work correctly?
I guess the last question would be, is there any way of using a free SSL certificate with the server operating system?
I have tried a few things that I found online, even followed all the steps from a YouTube video but none seem to work.
I am not sure if it is worth the $70 per year just to access my computer remotely once or twice a month.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance

How to create a schedule to run once?

I am having some problems getting a schedule to run only once. If I leave the repeat_interval empty, the schedule does not run at all. The documentation explains all the options for setting the repeat frequency, but it does not explain how to run it only once at a set time/date. I have created a user interface to allow the users to create their own schedules and I'd rather not do something like a "yearly" interval with an end date of next week. I need the generic solution.
Any ideas?

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your reply!
I have just discovered something very interesting! best explained by example:
(I might log an SR through metalink too. I'll be sure to update this thread with the outcome...)
I create 3 schedules and 3 simple jobs:
schedule 1 - start_date in 2 minutes time (eg. 11:30:00), repeat_interval => null
schedule 2 - start_date in 2 minutes, 20 seconds time (eg. 11:30:20), repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY'
schedule 3 - start_date in 2 minutes, 40 seconds time (eg. 11:30:40), repeat_interval => null
jobs 1, 2 and 3 just insert a row into a table through a PL/SQL block.
My test results are as follows:
1. The first time these schedules are created only schedule 2 runs. Schedules 1 and 3 never run.
2. I drop and re-create all schedules and jobs, (adjusting the time to a few minutes in the future) and re-submit the schedules and jobs and they all run. I can continue this as many times as I like now and the repeat_interval of null will now work fine.
3. re-start the 10gR2 database.
4. re-create the schedules and jobs and only schedule 2 runs again. Schedules 1 and 3 never run. (I'm back at step 1!! I can reproduce this problem anytime by following these steps)
My script is below:
declare
start_datetime__w timestamp(3) with time zone;
repeat_interval__w varchar2(200);
begin
* REPEAT INTERVAL NULL TEST
* TIM_SCHED_2_1 - no repeat interval
* TIM_SCHED_2_2 - a repeat interval
* TIM_SCHED_2_3 - no repeat interval (identical to TIM_SCHED_2_1)
* Results on my 10gR2 database (Redhat Enterprise Linux 4.4) are:
* job 2 will always run
* jobs 1 and 3 will only run after the successful run of job2 AND jobs 1 and 3 have been re-created
* Why?
* It seems the scheduler needs a wakeup call!!!
* test table: create table tim (col1 varchar2(30), col2 date);

Creating a job that runs a Tcl script

Hi,
We currently have a scheduled job running a Tcl script on a 8.1.7 DB. My question is, can I still use the same setup in 10g DB (i.e. creating a job that runs Tcl script)? If I can, how am I gonna do it?
Thanks,
howie

It depends on how you scheduled the job in 8.1.7 DB.
By Cronjob? Yes you can do the same to connect to 10g
By DBMS_JOB?. Yes you can do it in 10g and in addition, can improve it with DBMS_SCHEDULER
Via OEM? Yes in can use Enterprise Manager to create a Job that runs the Script.

Is it possible to create a thread and run it in background in nokia ??

Is it possible to create a thread and run it in background in nokia series 40 mobile phones using j2me ??

Probably a good question for ForumNokia. If you mean start up a thread and run in the background while your MIDlet UI does other things, then sure, why not. If you mean that you want to exit your MIDlet, but leave a thread running in the background, then I don't believe you can do this on series 40. S60 is another story since it supports multiple tasks.

Open Finder. Under Preferences > Sidebar > Devices > check Hard disks.
Navigate to your home folder from "Macintosh HD" (or whatever the name of your boot volume is) in the finder. Set the view to column.
Once you reach the path of your home folder, select it, hold down the key combination option + command and drag the alias to your desktop.
