Creating a script for inserting images

I am new to the scripting concept, so please forgive me when I use incorrect terminology.
I would like to create a script that will automatically place images in my InCopy document. Basically I want to type the names of image files in an InCopy document then run a script that will replace the name of the file with the actual image (either as an embedded image or as an image in a graphics frame, although the graphics frame might not work if the document isn't linked to an InDesign document.)
I'm assuming I'd have to identify the image name in some way (slashes or something before and after) and during the script I'd have to identify where to find the given images, such as which folder they are in.
Is this possible in InCopy?
Eventually, these InCopy documents will be used in InDesign. Would it be better/faster to use a script to import these images into InDesign instead of InCopy?
(In case the information is important, the images are all either .tif files or .eps files.)
Also, how do I find someone who can write this script for me? I'm assuming there are freelance programmer people out there... how do I find one?
Thanks for any advice/help you can give me!

this is ok, this i understand now. But where to tell which schema for which user?I don't understand this question. You create a synonym in your own schema for the object you want a synonym for...
so instead of referencing
select * from scott.empyou would create a synonym for scott.emp, so you can do
select * from emp

Trying to create a script for iTunes

This is one of those questions that probably has a very simple answer unless you haven't worked with Automator or applescripts.
I found Automator, created a script for iTunes to change settings for audiobooks that I import from CD so that it remembers it's place in a "song", makes it so that it doesn't show up in shuffle lists, and doesn't have a gap between songs. Yippee for me.
I click on File, Save, name the file and save it and ... it doesn't show up under iTunes. It only took me 45 minutes to get it so that the scroll icon shows up under iTunes (I'm so confused now that I don't even know which thing I did caused that to happen) but my script I created doesn't show up.
I did find one place that said to place the file in (myname\library\scripts\programname) So I went to my home folder, find the library folder, found the scripts folder, and found only one application under there (Safari) but no iTunes. I created a folder called iTunes and saved my script there but ... it doesn't show up under iTunes.
I did try quitting iTunes and opening it back up and ... it still isn't there.
Is this even the right place to ask this question?

If it's not, then may I recommend MacFormat Magazine's own discussions forum -
http://forum.macformat.co.uk/login.php?redirect=privmsg.php&folder=inbox
I found that this is full of 'Users' and more likely to be experienced using AppleScript and Automator.
Although I don't say that someone here won't be able to help. Just might take longer here or, as you yourself suggest, may need posting elsewhere on this site. Just speaking from previous experience of both sites

How to create a script for DB Startup

Hi to all,
I need to create a script for DB Startup with this command:
sqlplus /nolog
conn sys/mypwd as sysdba;
startup;
exit
It is possible ?
At now, when I run Sqlplus /nolog I see only the prompt sql>.
I Hope in Your help.
Best Regards
Gaetano

Hi,
Assuming you are on Windows environment. You may use the following two scripts to startup the database.
startup.bat
========
net start OracleServiceYOUR_INSTANCE_NAME
set oracle_sid=YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin\sqlplus /nolog @C:\DBA\startDB.sql
net start OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener
pause
startDB.sql
=========
connect sys/your_password as sysdba
startup pfile=D:\ORACLE\ORADBA\pfile\init.ora
exit
Similarly, you may write your own shutdown script.

Script for saving images

How would one create a script that can be inserted in my contextual menu or on my browser toolbar allowing me to save something (usually an image) to a specific directory.
I want to eventually automate converting the image and resizing in one fail swoop but for now I do this via folder actions in said directory.

Are you looking to "one-click" to save an image displayed on a webpage to a pre-determined directory?

Help me in creating a Trigger for Insert and Update Options

Hi
Please help me in creating a Trigger .
My requirement is that after insert or update on a Table , i want to fire an event .
I have started this way ,but doesn't know how to fully implement this .
say i have a dept table
CREATE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
AFTER INSERT ON Dept
BEGIN
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES("123","Kiran");
END DepartmentTrigger;
Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .
Thanks in advance .

Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .Add "Or Update". ;-)
Here are a few suggestions, but you definitely need to refer to the manual page that the previous poster suggested.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
AFTER INSERT Or Update ON Dept
BEGIN
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(:new.Dept,'DEPT ADDED OR CHANGED');
END DepartmentTrigger;
The "Or Replace" means you can replace the trigger while you're developing without having to type in a drop statement every time. Just change and rerun your script, over and over until you get it right.
Adding "Or Update" or "Or Delete" makes the trigger fire for those events too. Note, you may want seperate triggers in different scripts and with different names for each event. You have to decide if your design really does the same thing whether it's an insert or an update.
:new.Dept is how you would refer to the changed vale of the Dept column (:old.Dept is the prior value). I changed the double quotes on the string in the VALUES clause to single quotes.

Creating the Script to insert the table.

Hi Team
I have object type like
emp_obj(
empno number,
empname varchar2(22)
Refer to the Table Type
TYPE EmpTabTyp IS TABLE OF emp_obj
By using this below SP who to pepare the script to insert into the emp table.
create or replace procedure spi_emp(
in_emp emptabtype)
as
begin
for i in in_emp.first..in_emp.last
loop
insert into emp (empno,empno) values(in_emp.emp_obj.empno(i),in_emp.emp_obj.empname(i));
end loop;
end;

Your question is rather vague, but I guess you want something like this:
declare
    l_nt EmpTabTyp;
begin
    l_nt.extend(3);
    l_nt(1) := emp_obj(1111, 'MR KNOX');
    l_nt(2) := emp_obj(2222, 'FOX IN SOCKS');
    l_nt(3) := emp_obj(3333, 'THE LORAX');
    spi_emp(l_ent);
end;

Required to create a script for base table update using XMLSTORE package.

Hi can anybody provide me some help full suggestion on how to update base table using XMLSTORE package.
I created a simple script for Employee table and can able to do the basic operation like Insert and update on the table.
Query is as follow's
DECLARE

BEGIN
updCtx := DBMS_XMLSTORE.newContext('EMPLOYEES'); -- get the context
DBMS_XMLSTORE.clearUpdateColumnList(updCtx); -- clear update settings
-- Specify that column employee_id is a "key" to identify the row to update.
DBMS_XMLSTORE.setKeyColumn(updCtx, 'EMPLOYEE_ID');
rows := DBMS_XMLSTORE.updateXML(updCtx, xmlDoc); -- update the table
DBMS_XMLSTORE.closeContext(updCtx); -- close the context
commit;
END;
Nowi want little modification on this above query like as i am passing static XML tags and i want it to pick the dynamic XML from web and use the XMLSTORE for the update.
and also for complex XML having 2-3 levels how this query needs to be changed.As i am new to this Oracle utillity any help from xepert will be a great help for me.
Thanks

Nowi want little modification on this above query like as i am passing static XML tags and i want it to pick the dynamic XML from webFrom a Web Service?
You'll need UTL_HTTP or HttpUriType interface to send the request and receive the XML response.
Search in the forum, there are already a lot of useful examples available.
and also for complex XML having 2-3 levels how this query needs to be changed.DBMS_XMLStore is OK for readily processing a canonical XML format (/ROWSET/ROW/COLUMN structure or alike).
However, if you have to deal with a more complex structure, you either have to :
- use a target object table that matches the XML structure
- preprocess the input document using XSLT to transform it to canonical format
That's why DBMS_XMLStore is not appropriate for multilevel documents, especially if they contain nested repeating groups.
In this case, XMLTable is a more flexible way of parsing the XML and process it relationally at the same time.
Depending on the size of the document, performance may be improved with schema-based object-relational storage.
For more help, please post a new thread in the {forum:id=34} forum, with the following information :
- database version (select * from v$version)
- a sample XML document (the complex one)
- DDL of your target table
- mapping between XML elements and columns (ie which tag goes to which column?)
- an XML schema (if you have one)

Help creating a script for backup

Hi everybody,
I would like to make some backups using rman and recovery flash area on oracle10g on my Debian.
I would like to make a full backup level 0 on Sunday and make incremental backups from Monday to saturday.The best would be to have one for hot backup and one for cold backups.
But I am wondering how to schedule a task using rman. For example is it possible to write a script that would make the backups at a desired time executed by oracle?
Or do I have to create a script on unix that should be executed by cron?
You know I am really bad at scripting, but it would really help me if you could help me creating a script that would make the backup automatically on sunday at midnight and incremental eveydays until sunday.Here is the information I need to put in a script:
#flash recovery area creation under sqlplus
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE = 10g SCOPE=BOTH SID='*';
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST = '/home/oracle/flash_recovery_area' SCOPE=BOTH SID='*';
#setting the default variable
ORACLE_SID=iscream;
#connect to target database:
rman TARGET SYS/oracle@iscream NOCATALOG
#set the defaults values for rman
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
Any help will be appreciated
synthese
hot backup
using rman
using flash_recovery_area
full backup set compressed on sunday
incremental backup set compressed from mondy to saturday
using disk
policy retenttion 7 days
redondance 2

You can backup using some unix shell scripts.
rman is not really good one.

Create ecatt script for one sales order creation with multiple line items

Hi ,
I want to create a ecatt script for one sales order creation with multiple line items. Preferably SAP GUI.
This selection of data will be from an external file/ variants which will have only one row of data in it.
Firstly: I have to sort the external file having same PO Numbers in an order.Group them together.
Second: I have to create sales order for those many line items having same PO Number.
Best Regard
Taranum

Hi Micky
Firstl you should upload the Line items for a particular sales Order in an Internal table
and then pass that internal table to your BAPI during your coding corresponding to a particu;lar sales order
In case of any issues pls revert back

Would like to create a script for list all elements and structure of an indesign document

Hello everybody,
I'm a very beginner in indesign scripting.
I would like to create a script in order to list all elements and the inner structure of a n indesign document.
The aim for me is to understand how elements are sorted and arranged into indesign, and be able to find an specific element by its item name.
The output document could be an xml or txt document with a treeview structure.
I would like have a rough idea of which kind of javascript code I should use for that.
Thanks for answers.

Hi Ossydoc,
You can use Muse to create such a website. All you need to do is, create links in Muse for the sermons and select " link to File " in the hyperlink option and link to those Mp3 files.
Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/4xvdup
Now, when you publish your site, Muse would automatically upload those files onto the server and the users would then be able to listen as well as download those sermons using the links on your site.
Hope this helps

Script for replacing Image from a frame into InDesign document file

Default Stroke for Inserted Image?

When I import a new image into a site in iWeb '08, It (by default) puts a 10 pt gray stroke around the image.
Is there any way to change that default (say make it 4 pt gold stroke instead)?

Sure, just set a CSS rule for that image to change the pointer. Give the image a distinct ID, like "imageLink" and then create a rule like this:
img #imageLink {
     cursor: pointer;
If you need IE 5.5 support (or below), use this rule:
img #imageLink {
     cursor: hand;
     cursor: pointer;
You should be aware though that the "hand" property for cursor is early IE specific and won't pass CSS validation; for it to work properly cross-browser be sure it comes first. Again, use this second rule only if you need way-backwards compatibility.

Creating shell script for cloning

Hi,
I am cloning 11.5.8 instance. For copying of files from source to production I use rcp command. I want to create shell script that copies the files and lwhen it is complete send an email to my rediffmail account.
There are 2 problems:-
1. How to track if rcp commaind has completed.
2. How to send out an email. I tried to send an email using sendmail but it gave me an error "stdin: Value too large for defined data type".
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Neeraj

Hi Neeraj,
I'd suggest using the exit code from the rcp command to drive your email step. For most commands in Linux, and exit code of 0 indicates success, and in most shells, the environment variable $? stores the exit code of the most recent command. So, you could do something like this:
rcp source_files target_location
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
then
echo "Huzzah\!" | mailx -s "RCP from source to target successful" your_username@your_host
else
echo "Bummer. Got exit code $? from rcp" | mailx -s "RCP from source to target failed" your_username@your_host
fiThe preceding advice is offered with three disclaimers:
1) I don't know which shell you're using (ksh, bash, csh?) -- my code snippet assumes ksh, but the principles should be the same in any shell
2) My morning coffee has not yet taken effect, so I may be completely wrong about something important :-)
3) The code above is untested, and will probably not work in any shell without modification.
Despite all that, hopefully this will put you on the right track.
Regards,
John P.

Less white space for Insert image

Eliminate some vertical white space on the Insert Image window.
Sometimes this large window runs off the bottom of my browser window. I have to scroll down past all the vertical white spce to click on the insert image button.

if all you need is have mapviewer render the style and place it next to your theme control, you can probablly just issue a regular map request with only 1 feature and specify the style to be used on that feature. For instance, if you just want to show the M.STAR marker style, you can issue a request containing only the center point and specify the render style for the center point as M.STAR. you can also specify the exact width/height you want for the final 'map'. Yes if you issue a legend-only request mapviwer adds white space to it and ignores the width/height attributes.
finally, we will add your last two items into our wish list. thanks.
