Create an Unknown Computers Collection that has a limit

What I want to do is to create a smaller collection of Unknown machines that is limited to a site(or IP Range) so that it can limit the list of visible task sequences to the OSD groups at each site. Is this even possible?

I don't think you can do this using the Unknown Computers object.
Off the top of my head, the best solution I can think of is to use a pre-start script that lists Hidden task sequence deployments based off of IP Range. Niall blogged about the general process a few weeks ago, you'd just need to add logic for the sites/ip
ranges:

Creating a purchase order form that has a flowable layout" Help Tutorial

Regarding the "Creating a purchase order form that has a flowable layout" Help Tutorial, I can't seem to get the data to pull in for just the PO in question, is there a secret?
Ideally, it should create one form for each PO with the detail lines for each PO on the individual forms. Can we do this?
Many thanks!

Hi
If the smartform purchase order is not available in your system
means you can download the form IDES and you can upload the form in ur ecc 6.0 system.we faced a similar kind of problem in our system and we did as i said.
Once you uploaded the things you can easily view the form interface and rest of the things related to smartforms.
Thanks and Regards

I have a online form created with my paid account that has just stopped working.

I have a online form created with my paid account that has been working for months that just started displaying a message that starts "This form was easily created for FREE with FormsCentral. See how..." The inline frame that it shows up in has also changed to be very small. The form is set to open in FormsCentral and shows the message and inline frame size when I choose preview. What's up?

Checked when I got back in to work today and everything is working as it should. All of our online forms were screwed up yesterday, but are working this morning. I know this won't help anyone in the future, but just wanted to follow-up.

XML Schema Collection (SQL Server 2012): How to create an XML Schema Collection that can be used to Validate a field name (column title) of an existing dbo Table of a Database in SSMS2012?

Hi all,
I used the following code to create a new Database (ScottChangDB) and a new Table (marvel) in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012) successfully:
-- ScottChangDB.sql saved in C://Documents/SQL Server XQuery_MacLochlainns Weblog_code
-- 14 April 2015 09:15 AM
USE master
IF EXISTS
(SELECT 1
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = 'ScottChangDB')
DROP DATABASE ScottChangDB
GO
CREATE DATABASE ScottChangDB
GO
USE ScottChangDB
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[marvel] (
[avenger_name] [char] (30) NULL, [ID] INT NULL)
INSERT INTO marvel
(avenger_name,ID)
VALUES
('Hulk', 1),
('Iron Man', 2),
('Black Widow', 3),
('Thor', 4),
('Captain America', 5),
('Hawkeye', 6),
('Winter Soldier', 7),
('Iron Patriot', 8);
SELECT avenger_name FROM marvel ORDER BY ID For XML PATH('')
DECLARE @x XML
SELECT @x=(SELECT avenger_name FROM marvel ORDER BY ID FOR XML PATH('Marvel'))--,ROOT('root'))
SELECT
person.value('Marvel[4]', 'varchar(100)') AS NAME
FROM @x.nodes('.') AS Tbl(person)
ORDER BY NAME DESC
--Or if you want the completed element
SELECT @x.query('/Marvel[4]/avenger_name')
DROP TABLE [marvel]
Now I am trying to create my first XML Schema Collection to do the Validation on the Field Name (Column Title) of the "marvel" Table. I have studied Chapter 4 XML SCHEMA COLLECTIONS of the book "Pro SQL Server 2008 XML" written by
Michael Coles (published by Apress) and some beginning pages of XQuery Language Reference, SQL Server 2012 Books ONline (published by Microsoft). I mimicked Coles' Listing 04-05 and I wanted to execute the following first-drafted sql in
my SSMS2012:
-- Reference [Scott Chang modified Listing04-05.sql of Pro SQL Server 2008 XML by Michael Coles (Apress)]
-- [shcColes04-05.sql saved in C:\\Documents\XML_SQL_Server2008_code_Coles_Apress]
-- [executed: 2 April 2015 15:04 PM]
-- shcXMLschemaTableValidate1.sql in ScottChangDB of SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012)

</marvel>';
SELECT @x;
GO
DROP XML SCHEMA COLLECTION dbo.ComplexTestSchemaCollection_all;
GO
I feel that drafted sql is very shaky and it needs the SQL Server XML experts to modify to make it work for me. Please kindly help, exam the coding of my shcXMLTableValidate1.sql and modify it to work.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Scott,
2) Yes, FOR XML PATH clause converts relational data to XML format with a specific structure for the "marvel" Table. Regarding validate all the avenger_names, please see below
sample.
DECLARE @x XML
SELECT @x=(SELECT ID ,avenger_name FROM marvel FOR XML PATH('Marvel'))
SELECT @x
SELECT
n.value('avenger_name[1]','VARCHAR(99)') avenger_name,
n.value('ID[1]','INT') ID
FROM @x.nodes('//Marvel') Tab(n)
WHERE n.value('ID[1]','INT') = 1 -- specify the ID here
--FOR XML PATH('Marvel') --uncommented this line if you want the result as element type
3)i.check the xml schema content
--find xml schema collection
SELECT ss.name,xsc.name collection_name FROM sys.xml_schema_collections xsc JOIN sys.schemas ss ON xsc.schema_id= ss.schema_id
select * from sys.schemas
--check the schema content,use the name,collection_name from the above query
SELECT xml_schema_namespace(N'name',N'collection_name')
3)ii. View can be viewed as virtual table. Use a view to list the XML schema content.
CREATE VIEW XSDContentView
AS
SELECT ss.name,xsc.name collection_name,cat.content
FROM sys.xml_schema_collections xsc JOIN sys.schemas ss ON xsc.schema_id= ss.schema_id
CROSS APPLY(
SELECT xml_schema_namespace(ss.name,xsc.name) AS content
) AS cat
WHERE xsc.name<>'sys'
GO
SELECT * FROM XSDContentView
By the way, it would be appreciated if you can spread your questions into posts. For any question, feel free to let me know.

Problem creating custom tags for site that has no outside internet connecti

I've created a set of custom tags that work fine until we install our app at the customer site. The customer site has no outside Internet access, and so the DOCTYPE is failing since it references the web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd located on Sun's site.
I tried copying the dtd locally and got it to work, but the solution sucks because this web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd file is referenced in both my taglib.tld file AND the web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd itself. Soooo....I can put in a URL that references it on the local machine, e.g.,
In the taglib.tld file:
<!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.// DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN"
"http://ClientAAA/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
In the web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd file:
<!ATTLIST taglib id ID #IMPLIED
xmlns CDATA #FIXED
"http://ClientAAA/AdProduction/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd"
>
but that means for every client that uses this app (and we have several) I have to change that URL inside both these files.
I tried simply changing it to the relative "web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd", e.g.,
taglib.tld:
<!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.// DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN"
"web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd:
<!ATTLIST taglib id ID #IMPLIED
xmlns CDATA #FIXED
"web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd"
>
but then it is requiring me to put the dtd in both my web app root directory AND my jakarta/bin directory. I get the following error:
XML parsing error on file ../vtaglib.tld: java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\jakarta\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29\bin\web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd (The system cannot find the file specified)
It seems like I must be missing something here. This shouldn't be this hard. And it seems funny that to use custom tags, you have to have Internet access in the first place.
Help!!! :)
Thanks.

Yeah, I think it's a bit ridiculous that in order to make all the tag library examples and instructions work, you have to have access to the Internet. I haven't seen a single example on how to make it work if there is no Internet access. That's very limiting. And I've tried all sorts of other ways of doing it, such as
<!DOCTYPE taglib SYSTEM "web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
but even then it won't work because I get an error message saying:
XML parsing error on file /assets/../vtaglib.tld: java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\jakarta\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29\bin\web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd (The system cannot find the file specified)
I just don't think I should have to place this file in the bin directory. There has to be another way. Do I need to modify the dtd somehow? Cuz the dtd has the following line...is this messing it up??
<!ATTLIST taglib id ID #IMPLIED xmlns CDATA #FIXED "web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
I sure could use some help.

Can you create a FireFox add-on that has the same functionality as Momentum for Chrome?

Open a new tab that features a beautiful inspirational background photo.
Purpose is to keep you on task to achieve your goals - more than a to-do list.
"Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening <your name>"
Random motivational quote from a library which can be personally managed.
"Your goals or focus today is <whatever you input>"
Get a reward (music, a yipee!, or a new motivational quote) when you check off a completed goal.

Mozilla creates very, very few add-ons itself, you could probably count 'em on two hands. The vast majority are created by other users or independent developers.
You might want to post here - https://forums.addons.mozilla.org/ - or here - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=53 - with that request or ask the developer of Momentum if he would be willing to develop a similar add-on for Firefox.

Unable to create new entry in table that has no primary key

Hi
I have a table which is required to have no primary key (except mandt). After i generate table maintanance, when I go to create new entries, the table control to enter the new values does not appear. When I click on edit->new entries, it goes back to the fields tab of the table. Same when i check through SM30.
If i maintain atleast one primary key, I am able to get the table control in new entries screen. However the requirement permits no primary keys except mandt. How can this be resolved?
Thanks
NM

Hi,
THE PROBLEM WITH UR TABLE IS
YOU HAD DECLARED MANDT AS THE PRIMARY KEY AND THERE IS NO OTHER KEY IN UR TABLE
iT'S NOT ALLOWING YOU TO ADD NEW ENTRIES BECAUSE MANDT IS THE ONLY PRIMARY KEY IN YOUR TABLE AND IT WILL HAVE A DEFAULT VALUE BASED ON THE CLIENT. SO IT'S NOT SHOWING YOU THE CREATE NEW ENTRIES OPTION.
SO TRY TO PUT ONE MORE FIELD AS THE PRIMARY KEY SO THAT YOUR PROBLEM WILL SOLVE VERY EASILY ALSO MAKE SURE THAT TABLE IS ACTIVATED.
REVERT IF U NEED SOME MORE HELP
Thanks &Regards.

Can I create a layout in IBA that has an editable table

When I create a table in a layout in IBA and use that template for a page, the table cells are not editable.

Here's a simplified version of the layout page
I can use the layout inspector to make sure that anyone who creates a page using this layout can edit the editable text. But is I select any of the tables, I am not given that option in the layout inspector (it is greyed out).
When I create a page with this layout, I can indeed edit the txt but I cannot select or edit the table cells (or the tables for that matter). The table cells are not locked.
Thanks

Thanks for the help after looking over your sugesstion I did some additional troubleshooting which i should have done in the beginning and heres what i found
Airport express is joined to and existing wireless network and i have internet access....all good
I set up my Airport Extreme as follows:
                    Connect using :ethernet

I have a trial of CS6 Master Collection that has ran out and I bought a CS6 Production Pro do I have to uninstall Master collection first with all its scripts or can I just put the license in for Production Pro activating only those programes?

The question is in the topic sorry.

Suite licensing is specific and unlike with single programs just inputting the serial number won't cut it. You will have to uninstall the Master Collection and then install the Production Premium package.

How can I create a gauge type control that has settable color ranges?

I need a custom gauge style (360deg) control the has a definable color range
(like the meter control)... but, I can't seem to customize the curvature of
the meter type control. Anybody have any ideas?
Bill

The gauge control has a definable color range if you right click on the control and choose Visible Items>Ramp. The colors and marker locations for each color can be set with the property Scale.MarkerValues. To change the curvature, postion the mouse pointer over either the first or last value until the pointer changes to a semicircle and click and drag to the curvature you want. To rotate the whole range, do the same thing to any of the other numbers on the scale. To change the min or max value, just use the text tool to highlight the value you want to change and type a new value.

Create an Image Component that has a scale9Grid border

Hello, I want to start the process of creating a custom Image
Component that has a property of Scale9GridBorder, which upon
setting, will use Scale9Grid to create a frame around an image. I
was wondering if someone has any tips?
I'm familiar with custom components, all written in
Actionscript 3.0, and with the common createCHildren,
commitPorperties, measure, updateDisplayLIst mehtods that Ill have
to implement. I'm just not sure if classes like RectangleBorder,
etc. will be of help for me.
Maybe someone has already created a similar component?
Thanks,
Todd

I guess, where I'm getting stuck is trying to use scale9Grid
dynamically at runtime. Is this possible, or does scale9Grid only
work with embeded images? (I can't find any samples of runtime
setting a background image and then setting the innerRectangle of
scale9Grid.

Create a username that has the same privileges as the root

i want create a username on solaris that has the same privileges as the root account except that it can not change the root password.
how can do this

I can select a mix of multiple item types in a form (while using the FormsCentral application), and then perform a copy and paste. All of the selected items (form fields, text boxes, horizontal lines, etc.) paste just fine. I use the keyboard command to perform the copy and paste operations.
When selecting a range of items, I select the first item and then hold down the Shift key while selecting the last item, and all items in between are also selected.
I hope that helps,

Failed to Run Task Sequence on unknown computers

Hey everyone i need some major help here. I am 99.9% sure that we dont have something configured properly but here goes. I have a the following:
A task sequence that is enabled to deploy a image to all platforms (Console, Boot media, PXE)
I have Boot Media created that has "Enable unknown computer support"
I have a workstation that has NEVER been on our network (Bare Metal
Now here is the problem on that workstation, I use the boot media, and get a "Failed to run Task Sequence" There are no Task Sequences available for this computer"
BUT, if it has/had the SCCM agent on it.. It works fine..
Ideas? Starting points?

A task sequence that is enabled to deploy a image to all platforms (Console, Boot media, PXE)
I have Boot Media created that has "Enable unknown computer support"
Step #2 alone is not sufficient. There has to be a deployment for the task sequence to the 'All Unknown Computers' collection too. You did not mention this ...

No Task Sequence Advertised for Unknown Computers

Howdy,
i have a single MP, Single DP (Same box) SCCM 2012 R2 infrastructure running Server 2012.
i'm having an issue when trying to perform OSD deployments VIA boot media to clients. If the client had the SCCM agent on it before and it is known, no problems, i can load up my USB stick, boot to it and it finds my advertisement fine and can image no
problems. however if it is a bare metal that has not been imaged before at all, i get "No task sequence found for this device" in windows PE.
In checking the SMSTS log on the client, the error i see is "No assigned task sequence"
During the creation of the boot media i enabled (checked the box for) unknown computer support.
The Boot WIM, Image WIM, and TS have all been distributed to the site server and i have verified the content status of all dependencies to be correct.
The task sequence is advertised to a collection called "OSD Deployment Test" i have also added the "All Unkown Computers" Collection as a member of "OSD Deployment Test" I have verified that the "All Unknown Computers"
Collection DOES include the unknown 86, and unknown 64 computer collections. however if it is an unknown computer the darn thing STILL will not find the advertised TS.
what am i missing here?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
Tainted.

Thank you for clarifying and clearing that up (sorry it took me a couple replies to understand!)
It seems it did fail the ONE time i tried to image again but now it is working again even for brand new VM's and the boundary is still removed! I'm at a complete loss. We didn't change anything with SCCM and it magically started working?!?!?
You were right though i checked a log from when it failed earlier and got:
