Extracted AIR application files for distribution

Hi All
We have a requirement to distribute the air application as drag and drop for Mac.
Since an installed air application can be copied from the Applications directory on Mac, and is playable from other system, is this a proper way of distribution.
Has somebody come across this issue. Can we actually do it like this.

Good question! Seriously, these are the kinda concerns that arise when you're writing code for other's use. I'd assume you use a jar. I'm eager to hear other answers and methods.

Packaging application files for distribution

I've an application I want to move to another machine. Should I create Packages and a corresponding directory structure on the new machine, or simply dump all the .java and .class files into a common directory? There's only about a dozen .java and .class files.
Or, is a better route to make a jar file?
I ask because my IDE ( JCreator ) creates a default package and directory structure when workng in project-mode, so do I need to emulate this on the new machine?
Thank,
Pete

Trying to locate an Application File for InDesign

Im trying to download the blurb plug in and at the set up stage it asks me to locate the Application File for my Adobe InDesign CS5 in my files but i cant locate it any ideas how i can locate it?

emmajanerobbo123 wrote:
Yes i have done a search and I cant locate it from the search, it comes up with an InDesign folder 7.5 but when i go into it it is empty
InDesign 7.5 is actually CS5.5, which is NOT the sme thing as CS5, so that may be the root of the problem here. When you open InDesign, and hold down the Ctrl key while you click on About InDesign inthe Help menu, waht version is leisted in the upper left corner of the About dialog?

Air application (not for mobile) ?

Hi
How do we proceed to create a Air application (not for mobile) that works with Zend Server? "Flex and Php project" creates a web based application, isn't it?
Thanks

I have the same question.
Is possible to debug the PHP side of an AIR application?
Because for Web and Mobile applications there is an extra option for debugging ("Web (PHP) Application" and "Mobile (PHP) Application") but there isn't any option like that in Desktop Application.
If is not possible with Flash Builder, does somebody know a workaround for debugging PHP in AIR apps?

Making change in original application file for new version

Hi
I am new to DMS.
I have a basic query about versioning of DIR.
I have created a DIR with status in Released.
I have attached a original application to the DIR. Now when I am creating a new version of DIR, original application file is also getting copied to the new version which is desired.
My problem is I want to make changes into original application file in new version of DIR and want to save. But I am unable to do so. It is not allowing me to change the original application file for new version which is desired for storing some ISO documents.
Is there any settings which I am missing?
Waiting for reply ASAP.
Thanks and Regards,
Niraj Sikligar

Hi
If you want to make changes in the "Release" Status, go to dc10, select Doc type and define status screen. Do not put "S" (Lock mode) for Status - Release
Also please check in new version , you are clicking on Edit symbol in Orginals tab, if u double click the file, it would open always in display mode , and it wont allow you to make any changes
Regards

Adobe AIR application file types

Hello everyone,
I dont know how to go about this but i was wondering how possible it is to create an application with its own filetype using the AIR application descriptor xml file in such a way that everytime a file is created from that Air App, it takes the icon of the application. I kmow this is posssible beccause i have tried it. What is even cooler is the fact that everytime you click on that file, you AIR app automatically starts. But the Real Question is how do you start the App with you file loaded.
In my case i'm writtting an app in which you can create or load an SQLLite database file with a custom file type. Its an inventory manager which you can load databases which contain inventory information u previously stored or create a new database file to store your new inventory information. How do i Click an already existing database file so that the application loads with that database...
Anyone done something similar?

No thanks Guys, i figured how to load those files...all i had to do was to provide an implemention for the application's invoke event. the files clicked can be accessed by the event object's argument property which is an array so if you selected a file, the native path of the file can be accessed using event.arguments[0]
I hope this information is valuable to anyone who needs a similar functionality!

Air application file corrupted

When I try to install lensprofile_downloader_p3_102510.air the installation fails with a message that says that file is corrupted.
I tried to download again the file but with the same result. The file works fine on another computer with win 7 32bit but not on my pc with Win 7 64.
The same problem with another adobe air application.
Someone can help me?

Download Application Files for Windows NT

I downloaded all the files for the Oracle Application server and when I try to use winzip to unzip the files it tells me bad archieve or file corrupt. i have downloaded all the files twice. Same error.

I don't understand what exactly you are trying to say. Are you facing problem in downloading the set up ?
If you bought Windows 8.1 or Windows 8, you can download and install Windows from this page using just your product key. You'll have the option to install Windows now, later, or using media with an ISO file.

Extracting from flat file for testing inplace of ECC(r/3)

Hi Expert,
Please help me out and give me your suggestion.
We are creating a custom table in ECC it is under progress.
I would like to create infoObject, transformation, DTP and Cube and create queries with loading info by flate file. Later on connection whole provider to table.
Give me suggestion is ther any problem for this Or any good opinion.
Thanks in Advance

Loading from a flat file for testing has worked well for me. We recently wanted to test an ODS object, but I didn't want to create a custom extracter until we knew if the ODS object would work for us. So under my infoSource I created a quick infopackage that pulled some test data from a flat file. We've loaded test data into cubes before. Only problem that I ever had was when I used Excel to create the flat file. Excel wants to truncate leading zeros. 0calmonth for example needs to be loaded as 072007 not 72007.

How to extract the downloaded files for AS 10.1.2.0.2 Solaris?

It brings the same error message.
Are these files fine?Probably your files are broken because of interrupted or incomplete download.

How do I work around large AIR Installer file for app updates?

I develop AIR apps which often come with many included files (pdf, doc, swf, images, etc). These get quite large, Total Air installer size measured in Gigs. Distribution is via DVD. Currently I create sub-folders under my project and place the assets. Works fine.
The rub comes when I want to issue program updates. The AIR update process would be great if I could just update my main program swf, but what I'm finding is that even if I'm doing a minor code update I still have to create this same multi-gigabyte AIR installer.
If I were using a Visual Studio installer I'd just include some sort of run-once that would copy all the assets after the installer completed. Then when building an update it would skip the 'copy all' part...but I can't see any way to do something similar with the AIR installer.
So, to summarize, I'd like to be able to issue updates to my main AIR SWF without including all the assets again. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Greg.

No, I don't have any recommendations. You would need to sign up for the AIR redistribution program. When you do this you gain access to some tools that help the process. http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html
The only warning is that you will have to create an installer for each of your target platforms (unless you find an installer product that is also cross-platform, of course).

Extracting a .zxp file for Adobe add-on for Photoshop .

I bought and downloaded the 8Watercolor and Acrylic Painting FX add-on for Photoshop but receive an error "The installed file is invalid. The extension will not be installed." Any idea on how to correct this?

Is the plug-in you purchased compatible with the version of Photoshop you are running on your computer? What version of Photoshop are you running?
I'm assuming you tried installing by double-clicking the .zxp file? and that doesn't work?
Have you tried installing the plug-in using the Adobe Extensions Manager application?
Launch the Adobe Extensions Manager application.
Click Install and navigate to the .zxp file on your system, then follow the prompts.
Are you seeing the same error, and the plug-in is definitely compatible with your version of Photoshop, it might help to contact the plug-in developer for some more help.

RoboHelp Server 8 reports - printing to a file for distribution

I've been using RH7 WebHelp Pro layout to publish to RoboHelp Server 8 default database for about 2 weeks now. We've got F1 help linked to our windows and everything seems to be working fine except for the following:
#1 - As noted in a previous posting, if quotes are used around search keywords, then the html code for quotes displays in the details of the Frequently Asked Questions or Unanswered Questions reports. I've reported this as a bug as well. It really makes the report results a pain to read, especially when someone uses quotes and another doesn't for the same keywords.
#2 - Although I can view and print any of the RoboHelp Server 8 reports, there is no way for me to save it to a pdf format so that I can distribute the report to managers that are not local. If there is a way to do this, I would appreciate knowing what steps need to be taken so that I can produce a pdf file on the server.

There is currently no way to save the report data from the RH Server application. Personally I'd like the option to save it in a number of different formats with PDF being just one. How about .XLS, .TXT, .RTF for starters. However as this doesn't exist this is really helping you. You should be able to get the data out of the RH Server database by using an external reporting tool (e.g. Crystal) that specialising in this sort of thing.
I'd also strongly suggest that you submit a feature request to get this functionality added to a future release. When you do so, please state that it is for RH Server in the comments field.

Required supporting files for distribution of .chm

I am using X5 to generate a .chm. I know that there are
required system files I must give to my developer inaddition to the
.chm. What are they and where are they located? I

OK. So I was confident but wrong - where do we go from here?
You are sure you are not attempting to view over a network and the
properties dialog does not have n "Unblock" button. And you are not
using archaic versions of Windows...
Could the problem be in the .chm itself? I think I heard that
it was possible in X5 to not use relative paths. That would
certainly cause problems if you moved it about. I don't have X5
available to check that out.
Feel free to email me a copy of your .chm file (if it is less
than 10MB - our firewall spits out large attachments) if you'd like
me to take a look at it. You can look at the path it is trying to
access by right clicking in the TOC and selecting "Jump to URL."
BTW, I think I was wrong about the error messages differing.
I think they may be the same in both cases (network or downloaded
file) "Action canceled" may have to do with it opening the default
topic, while "Page cannot be displayed" appears when a TOC item or
the application tries to open a topic. I have just run into the
errors in different scenarios. A little research showed me they
also came from the same Microsoft security patch. I just found one
much later.
