Custom away messages?

This question is about iChat 4.0.5 (608). I guess there's no specific forum for that.
Anyway, I use iChat as my client for AIM. Is there a way to create and use custom away messages? The only way to set a status message that I can find is to use the iChat -> My Status menu, where there are some canned messages; I can't find anyway to create my own messages.

iChat 4 http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1226
At the top of the buddy list you will see available just under your name, click on it and then click on edit status menu.
Then click on the + to add in available or away.

Problem with iChat changing my custom away message after 30 minutes

Lately, I've been having a big problem with iChat changing any custom away message that I put up to "Away" after 30 minutes or so. Is there anything I can do to make it stop? Another issue I'm having is that sometimes when people on my buddy list change their away message, it doesn't show up on iChat unless I go offline and then sign back on. Any idea why it's doing that, and what I can do to get it to stop?
Thanks.

Hi ienjoyanime,
Go to the General Section of iChat Preferences.
Does it say you are set to Go to Away when you log off/QUit iChat ?
is the computer going to Sleep at this point ?

Finding my Custom Away Message

I've searched through the posts already on here, and they don't lead me to where I need to be. I'm looking to switch computers as I graduate, and want to take my (quite extensive) collection of custom away messages from iChat 3.1.4.
I've looked in Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iChat.plist, and they aren't stored in there. I have installed Chax to extend iChat's basic functionality, but its preference file doesn't contain the custom away messages, either. I've searched through all the other iChat ".plist" files, including the Agent, Menu Extras, etc. Anybody have an idea where these away messages are stored?

I've looked in Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iChat.plist, and
they aren't stored in there.
This is where they are stored by iChat. Look under CustomAwayMessages and you'll see the away messages if you have the "Remember Custom Messages" checked under "Edit Status Menu" in iChat.
It can take a few minutes for this plist file to update.

Thanks,
Conal

launch ichat

in drop down-menu, select "edit status menu"
single click on message you want to delete
click on minus sign to remove it
(optional) uncheck "remember custom messages" if you don't want to build a list of 1000's
click on OK

Away messages, help!

hello.. i need some help in iChat.. when you make a custom away message, how can you change the font in it. to windows users and also ichat users (i think also ichat users), my away message appears as times new roman 12, and i would like it to be verdana 10.
thanks,

Hi Tyler,
You can not change the Font for Away (Status) messages.
It is actually Helvetica at 12 point.
The Buddy list names are in Lucida Grande (14)

Reg Custom GR message type

This is regarding GR Message Type WE03
As part of Global template GR form for message we03 is already exists ..
we need to develop new form for current roll-out , initially we decided to have a our own GR custon message for this purpose
But when i see standard condition record combination for this message is Trans./Event Type-Print version-Print item, this combination will not allow us to have our own custom GR message ..
Is there any way to set up such away that for the specific plant or Purchase org this custom message is triggered?

Its our requirement to have 2 messages printed right? So in your case, you attach normal report to WE01 and attach then new report to WE03, this way whenever users want normal report print, they just pull it with material document No. and if new report is required, they pull the material document by adding WE03 in output type.

Delete previous away messages help

Over the year ive accumulated 100s of away messages. is there any way i can get rid of all of the saved ones and start fresh. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Hi Fotoshopfan,
When you use the drop down to create a new Away or Available (custom) message they are saved as you say.
AT the bottom of this drop down is Edit Messages.
Use this.
Use the " - " key to delete messages after you have selected them first.
There is another way but it is more drastic.
Go to Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
This will also lose you any speech Alerts you have made, Font Colour Choices, Bubble colour choices and any Sound/Alert choice you have made. (hence the Drastic nature of this method)

GAIM and "away messages" -- not working?

Hi there,
Is it just me or do "away messages" in GAIM just not work at all? I set my status to "away", I selected an away message, I get this funny pop-up that tells me to either edit the message or hit the "I'm Back!" button ... but no-body actually receives the message if they contact me while I'm away.
Am I missing something here?

Hi skoal,
skoal wrote:If you want to test your settings in GAIM, you can always add yourself to your buddy list. That way you will show up, and you can instant message yourself, or put yourself as "away" and see how others will see you. When I did that, I hover my mouse over my own name, and my away message shows up, whether it's the default or custom one, and it shows me as "away".
Well, I tried that, and that's the way I found out it didn't work for me--apart from the about 12 open conversations mostly going "wtf why don't you answer me!!!" after I went to have a bath this evening. I don't get the away message when I'm hovering over my name in the contacts listing, and none of my friends receives anything like an "auto-reply" or a pop-up or something when they approach me while I have the away message set up.
What are your settings in Preferences -> Away/Idle? Perhaps something's wrong there, on my end.
Or is there perhaps an "auto-reply" plugin for gaim which sends a message as soon as somebody pings me while I'm away?
Help is much appreciated. I don't really like to log on and off all the time just because I'm on the phone ...

Custom error message in SAP application log

Is there a way to add a custom error message to the SAP application log without passing the message variables MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, MSGV4 and the Message class and number.
We want to pass a custom message from the BAPIRET2-MESSAGE without giving it a Message class and number. The reason for this is that we are using class based exceptions instead of the traditional message class with errors. When we catch the class based exception, we take the error text of the exception and put in in the BAPIRET2-message and set the BAPIRET2-TYPE as 'E'. Now we want to add this to the SAP application log.
The call to 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD' takes a structure BAL_S_MSG which is just like BAPIRET2. However this function builds the entry to the application log use the message variables MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, MSGV4. There is no provision to pass in the BAPIRET2 message.
Add message to application log
CALL FUNCTION 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD'
 EXPORTING
 i_log_handle = app_log_handle
 i_s_msg = log_message
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
Did you see BAL_LOG_EXCEPTION_ADD?
This FM is represented by the structure BAL_S_EXC. This can have various versions as described below:
Data of BAL_S_EXC Structure / Use
EXCEPTION / Exception class from which an exception text
 is added to the log. This field must be filled.
MSGTY / Message type (MSGTY) of a T100 message.
 This field must also be filled for exceptions.
PROBCLASS,
DETLEVEL,
ALSORT, TIME_STMP / Message or exception attributes, such as
 problem class (PROBCLASS, for
 example, "very important"), level of detail
 (DETLEVEL, from 1 to 9), sort criterion
 (ALSORT, unrestricted) and timestamp
 (TIME_STMP). These fields can be displayed
 in the log (except TIME_STMP).
MSG_COUNT / This attribute is not used for exceptions.
Follow the link below for more details:

ICI - How to display custom error messages in SAP CRM

Hello,
we are working on a custom Contact Center which interfaces with SAP CRM Version 7 with Enhancement Package over ICI.
The basic call functions like accepting, hanging up, holding and retrieving are fully implemented and are working already.
Our goal is to display error messages in the CRM so that clients know there is something wrong, for example why he can't be log in successfully (e.g. the telephony server isn't reachable).
We already found the ICI Documentation file which provides us the CRM SOAP error codes and tried to send SOAP Fault messages, but never got
them to screen.
Please find an attached example screenshot what we mean exactly, reproduced by trying to make a call with CRM user while BCM CDT isn't
running in the background.
Regarding to this topic we've the following questions:
- Is it possible to display custom error messages on the CRM or is this functionality limited to SAP?
- Could you provide us some further information on how to use this feature exactly (implementation details?) and how the SOAP XML should look like to get it work?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards

I need to create an entity adapter and attach an error handler with the adapter? or can i handle that in the event handler itself. I coulnt find any api for handling errorsYou can do it both ways but since we are talking about event handler now, then in 9.x you need to extend com.thortech.xl.client.events.tcBaseEvent class for creating a event handler. In tcBaseEvent class there are various flavors of handleError method. So use that as per my note earlier and you should be good.

Component level display of the Custom Error Message in 11g

Iam using custom error handler that extends the default DCErrorHandlerImpl class to handle the Custom exceptions thrown from the service layer, and able to see the exception displayed in the ADF UI in a popup window.
How can we do Customization in order to display the Custom error message inline with a component (i.e. associated with a specific UI component with the arrow mark look and feel ) instead of the global level message displayed as a pop up window on the ADF UI page? Please suggest.
Thanks,
Kayal.

Catch datetime exception and custom error message in SSRS

I currently working on create report by using SSRS. I have 2 parameters: [Start date] and [End date] to filter data from database and show it on report. I want to validate 2 datetime parameter as describe above. Please tell me a solution to do this.
For example:
When user type the text like: 4/15/2014mmm => System validation thrown a message: [The From Date not correct type]
But in my case, I want to receive a custom error message by myself.(Look like: [Date Invalid!])

Hi Brain,
According to your description, you have a report with two parameters for user to input. Now you want to validate these two parameters and display custom error message when the date is invalid. Right?
In Reporting Service, it doesn’t provide any interference for us to modify the system error message (the text in grey color). That means we can’t modify the system message when error occurs. However we can create a textbox in this report, use custom code
and expression to display the custom error message. But this all based on the report is successfully running. So if error occurs during report processing, all the custom code and expression will not work. In this scenario, we find a workaround for you. We
use custom code to judge if the date is valid, if the users type an invalid date, we return a default value to make sure this report can successfully run. Then we use expression to control the visibility of tablix in this report and create a textbox to show
the custom error message. Your case has been tested in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
Go to Report Properties. Put the code below into custom code:
Public Shared a As Integer=0
Public Shared Function IsDate(d1 As String,d2 As String) as Integer
        Try
           FormatDateTime(d1)
           FormatDateTime(d2)
        Catch ex As Exception
                   a=1
        End Try
return a
End Function
Create two parameters. One is StartDate, the other is EndDate. Set the data type of these two parameters Text.
Create a filter for StartDate, put the expression below into Value:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,CDate(IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,Parameters!StartDate.Value,"1/1/2012")),CDate("1/1/2012"))
Create a filter for EndDate, put the expression below into Value:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,CDate(IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,Parameters!EndDate.Value,"1/1/2013")),CDate("1/1/2013"))
Ps: In step3 and step4, the date(“1/1/2012”, “1/1/2013”) in the expression are the default we set to make sure the report can successfully process. You can set any date existing in your dataset.
Use the expression below to set the visibility of the tablix:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,false,true)
Create a textbox, put the expression below into it:
=IIF(Code.IsDate(Parameters!StartDate.Value,Parameters!EndDate.Value)=0,"","Date invalid")
Save and preview. It looks like below:

How to create Custom error message in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I have created one document library.On uploading the same file SharePoint throws error as"server error.The same file exit".
But my requirement is not to show the SharePoint default message.I wanted to create custom message and show the pop up for the same file upload.
Is there any way to create any custom error page or can I manipulate SharePoint default error page?
Any help?
Thank you

Hi,
You can create an event receiver to set the validation error messages. One such post to redirect the custom error page is as follows

How to show custom error message in WebADI Excel template?

Hi,
I've created a custom Web ADI integrator and associated it with a 'Procedure' based custom interface.
WebADI Interface API Returns is set to "Error Message".
I'm using raise_application_error(-20001, "Actual Error Message") for invalid rows,but custom error message from PL/SQL is not populated on the excel template.
Instead it is showing "SQL exception occurred during PL/SQL upload".
Am I missing anything? How to show custom error message from Pl/SQL procedure to WebADI Excel template?
TIA
Narasimha

The custom API errors are visible in the BNE log but not on the Excel.

Cannot display custom error message in CRM_MKTLIST_BADI

We did implement the following BADI BADI Name: CRM_MKTLIST_BADI
Interface: IF_EX_CRM_MKTLIST_BADI Method: MAP_AND_CONVERT_DATA
This enhancement is for suport the extension field for create new BP in
external list management (transaction CRMD_MKTLIST). The BP creation
process work properly but we cannot display our custom error message,
only SAP standard error message is shown. We did try using the export
parameter ET_MKTLIST_E but it does not work as expected, custom message
still cannot display.
How we can be show the custome error message ?
Thanks in advance.
