DS SDK: How to check if plugin is called in "design mode" or in browser?

Dear SDK experts,
I just created a simple world-/europe map plugin based on Datamaps (http://datamaps.github.io/) which works fine when the dashboard is executed in the browser but crashs, when I drag my plugin into the design area (maybe it's called different) of design studio. As I found no easy way to debug my created js code directly in design studio, is there is simple check so I can call the "real" plugin code only when my dashboard is executed in the browser and for example display only a static image when it's called inside design studio?
This check would also help a lot in my other plugins and I am sure, I already saw some coding somewhere -hopefully you remember where.
Thank you very much in advance for answering my very first question here on SCN.
Best regards,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
The approach for determining design mode is documented in this thread: SDK - how to control other objects
Specifically, the code is:
if (window.sap && sap.zen && sap.zen.designmode) {
// Design time only code...
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Mustafa.

How to check whether JVM is running in interpreted mode

I have launched JVM with -Xint option , but thread dump file doesn't include Monitor cache dump. AppServer is starting with -Xint but it is not logging Monitor Cache Dump. How will I check whether JVM is running in interpreyed mode or any other way to get Monitor Cache dump in Thread dump?

Add -showversion to the command line and look for
java -Xint -showversion Hello
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, interpreted mode)
If you're running with the JIT, you'll see something like
java -showversion Hello
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)

I have check whether server is in development mode or production mode from my OSB proxy service?
I m not able to find any doc on this??Please let me know how it can be done?

There isnt any other way except for doing a Java Callout. In the callout method you can access the Domain/Server MBean for the information that you seek. Based on the callout result you can go ahead with the logic in your PS..
Here is a sample Java Code to get the Server Log Level and ascertain whether the server is in Production Mode or not.

How to check whether user login in SNC mode or Non - SNC Mode

Hi
When SNC is enabled system will accept secure network connections. But,It is up to the user to login in SNC mode or NOT.
Can any one let me know How to check whether user login in a SNC mode / Non-SNC mode?. Is it only through SU01?.
Is there any other possibility?. where to check if user login through RFC connections?.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Regards
Srinivas P.

Hi,
Where to check if user login through RFC connections?
Check T-Code SM04 on every instance. In the column Type you can see what kind of login has been used (GUI, RFC, Plugin, System).
But,It is up to the user to login in SNC mode or NOT.
Depends. Check these [parameters|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/19/164442c1a1c353e10000000a1550b0/content.htm]:

Strobe Media Playback, how to check if playing stream is live (from dynamic plugin)

Can someone guide me how to check if stream is live or not? I check Media Player class, but cannot find anything related.
Edit:
I now check it be flash variable streamType = "live", but id there is better way will be good,

Hello,
I'm not sure there is a good solution to your problem on Windows Phone 8.1 (WP8.1). I think your problem is due to the background audio subsystem in WP8.1 doesn't use Zune for playback but instead has a new media manager service that controls what
background audio task is currently playing. If you are writing a Runtime app you can us the
BackgroundMediaPlayer to get this information but this object does not have the concept of a music queue.
Here is more information on background audio for Runtime apps:

How to use existing plugin transformation from a new plugin

Hi,
Begginer's question:
I use the SDK examples for a new plugin I want to write.
I want to invoke several commands of an existing plugins from my plugin.
For example I define a new Effect Control: My Opacity. For start I would like to invoke the functionality of Transform->Opacity.
Now, I saw in the example Projector that I can invoke
suites.EffectSuite2()->AEGP_ApplyEffect
Is this the way to do it?
How can I pass the parameter that the user gave me to the needed effect?
I guess rhere is a quicker way to find the effect by name instead of iteration on all available as done in the Projector example.
Thanx in advance,
Miro

Hello miro A, welcome to the forum!
i'm having some trouble understanding the process you're creating, so i have a couple of questions:
1. is your effect a layer effect? (like "gaussian blur")
or is it a general plug-in? (like layer->transform->fit vertical, or the "wiggler" panel)
the two (effects and AEGPs) differ in many ways and will determine the way you approach the problem.
2. when you say "the parameter that the user gave me", what do you mean?
is there a standard slider on your effect that the user can manipulate?
in the mean time i'll do my best to answer you questions:
yes, suites.EffectSuite2()->AEGP_ApplyEffect() is the way to add a new effect to a layer,
BUT if your effect is a layer effect (again, like "curves"), then you're in for some major problems.
layer effects can't add new effects to the same layer as themselves.
it causes errors and crashes, because by the time your effect returns from it's call AE discovers that the layer has changed in the mean time (you added an effect), and AE doesn't cope with that change well. at all.
no, there is no way of knowing what effect to access on a layer without iterating through them at some point in time.
to access an effect you must retrieve an effectRef.
to get an effectRef you must call it's index on a layer, along with the identifier of a specific layer. (layerH and effect index on that layer (say... 3rd effect))
to know the index, you must iterate though the effects on a layer and check each one for it's name or matchName.
you don't have to do it every time.
you can store the index for later use, but keep in mind that the user might move effects around,
so make smart decisions.
wait. it gets worse.
now you want to affect a parameter on a different effect.
that can be done using streamRefs. these refer to the different parameters on all effects.
once you obtain the streamRef of a wanted parameter, you can read it or write to it.
to get a param's stream ref on an effect for which you already have an effectRef, you must know it's index in the effect. (for example, the "blurriness" on "gaussian blur" is 1 (never 0. zero is the input buffer))
the index is not always what it seems. there may be hidden params (and other stuff in the way).
the param index might change if the vendor of the other effect decides to change it.
in short:
yes, it's as complex as you feared it would be, and as you saw in the "projector" sample.

How to install a plugin on 64 bits windows 2008 server?

From the developer forum, I found a description which told me how to install a plugin on windows series system, but I only succeded intalling the plugin on 32 bits windows xp, couldn't install the plugin on 64 bits windows 2008 server. Any ideas or advices, men of genius? Thanks :-)

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

I am trying to use the regular ldapsearch command from commandline and not any C/Java code, like-
ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" -p 1389 -h localhost -w abcd1234 -r -C PS:any:1:0 -b dc=abc,dc=com ou=emp
despite using -r and -C option it just comes out displaying below entries
ou=emp,dc=abc,dc=com
ou=emp
objectClass=top
objectClass=organizationalUnit
also tried with below command -
ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" -p 1389 -h localhost -w abcd1234 -r -C PS:any:1:0 -b dc=techm,dc=com objectclass=person
it displays long list and just comes out, not sure why its not doing the persistent search after using -r and -C options.
request you to give some good idea on this.

How to include a Plugin (dll file) in a program

How would I go about utilizing a plugin in my program. By this I mean...lets say that there is an online program for which you have to install the plugin onto your computer in order to use the program. How could I include that plugin into a program that can be used offline, or placed into an online applet, so that other people dont have to download that plugin.
Basically...I want to know how to put a plugin into my program so that no one else has to download it. Instead they just use the program, which includes the plugin.
And just so you all know, the plugin is a *.dll file. Could I just put it in an online folder, and cal to it when it is needed??
Thanks in advance.

I apologize, but I am confused because I am not that good at this. How would I refer to it? I do not know how to write a java function so that it will call a .dll file. Also, Im not quite sure what to do when I do call it. Here is specifically what I am trying to do. The plugin that I am trying to use is a download plugin. It is used because some people use a program to upload/protect their files, and the only way to download the files is to use the plugin or the program. The thing that I am confused about is how I use the plugin in my program so that the website I want to download from sees that I have the plugin and allows me to download the files I want by using the plugin which I have stored online. Im sure that the website that I am downloading from checks to see if I have the plugin installed, so how do I make it look at the one that I have online and not search for it on my computer??? PLEASE HELP ME!!! i know that people do things like this all the time, but I am new and need a lot of help.

ANSWER: HOW TO DETECT Java Plugin from JavaScript

I created a new topic because the questions about
how to detect Java Plugin in browsers are scattered
thoughout this forum.
Basically you need to employ two approaches for IE and NS.
In IE you need to try to instantiate a small applet
(not your production applet) in order to see if browser
can do it. if the browser can do it, you can make a
call applet from JavaScript in order to find version of
JRE (as well as a host of other things).
In NS you can write a simple JavaScript which will
interrogate the browser for all plugins installed. Then
ypu can make a desicion whether to pass execution to
the next(or generated) page which hosts your applet,
or ask the user to download/install a plugin.
I ecourage everybody to host a plugin on your site
rather leave default link to it which is generated by
html converter.
In order to run sample,
Prerequisites:
Java Plugin 1.3.
If you have a different version of plugin,
substitute hardcoded plugin version in JavaScript for
value that you have.
1. compile java file
2. put class file in the same directory with html file
3. load html file into the browser.
4. press "Check Java Plugin.." button
5. see it work
6. examine code
7. uninstall plugin
8. repeat steps 1 - 4
9. see it work
10. install plugin.
Sample code follows:
