Forcing programs to run in Rosetta?

I'm trying to install a non-universal program (Borland's JBuilder Foundation) on my Intel-Based iMac. The installation will not complete and the program will not run, generating a message in the log file to the effect that my machine configuration does not support the "Java VM for PowerPC."
I was under the impression that OS X for Intel macs included a code-translation technology ("rosetta") that would allow it to execute code compiled for the G4, albiet more slowly than native code. Is there any way to force this program to run through Rosetta?

Yes, that's correct, but some Java apps that use certain Java libraries will not work because these libraries are not universal binaries and will not work via Rosetta. Any Java applications that use the JNI libs will not work unless the developer provides universal binary versions of the libraries they use. Non-Java applications will normally work through Rosetta if they are PowerPC-only. Java apps that do not rely on the JNI libs should work normally.

Forcing program to close, I am deleting a lot of files from my trash but it stopped working about 1/2 way through (1650 files left) so I tried to reboot but it won't let me because a the program is still running which I can't close.

Forcing program to close, I am deleting a lot of files from my trash but it stopped working about 1/2 way through (1650 files left) so I tried to reboot but it won't let me because a the program is still running which I can't close (stuck at 1650 files to go). So it allowed me to click cancel now it says "stopping" for 3hrs now. Is there anyway to force the MacBook Air (new model) to close as you can't remove the battery?

Press and hold the power button until the Mac turns itself off. This force-shutdown should be done only after you've exhausted other options (you seem to have done so).
Wait at least 60 seconds.
Then press the power button to start up the Mac. It will take a little longer to start up because it will perform additional self-tests on the first boot after a forced shutdown.
Once the bootup is complete, you should be able to delete the trash. Hold down the option key while choosing to empty the trash, which will automatically delete "locked" items.

Force Front Row To Use Rosetta?

Hi,
i can get my wmv encoded avi's to run in quicktime without pixelated distortions using rosetta, but how do i get front row to use rosetta when playing back the files as without rosetta i've found flip4mac to be quite useless. (Latest version btw)
Any help from one of the many mac geniuses that lurk on the forum would be great.

I wish I had an answer for your Goldin. Front Row itself is a Universal Binary and cannot be told to run under Rosetta. There might be a way to force it to under unix.
Are the file types actually WMV? How about just converting them to something a bit more friendly like MPEG-4 or MOV?
Cheers!

Endianness when running under Rosetta?

Hi all,
I have a Carbon application which is reading binary data from a file's resource and then has to work with that data. I know the endianness of the data on disk so I used to do a byte-swap when necessary (after using ReadPartialResource() to get the data into my variable).
I dutifully converted all those unconditional byte-swaps to CFSwapInt32BigToHost() in order to make sure that things work correctly when running on an Intel machine (since the application is not universal, the app is running under Rosetta on Intel machines).
Today I tested the application on an iMac Intel CoreDuo (in my local Apple Store) - things worked just fine. However, even the old version with unconditional byte-swapping works correctly...
Does this mean the "Host" on in Intel machine is still big endian? Anybody can corroborate this or point me to documentation of this behaviour?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi,
to support the other posters intention: I would not need an emulator, if any code could be run between to processor types. If I have an emulator, it has to give a complete emulation of one processor another. If VirtualPC would have used BigEndians, no wndows would have ever started on those. So the other way round I assume that Rosetta will think Big (in Endianess).

Need program for running accruals mid-month

Hi,
We have accruals set up at period-end (and not Receipt) at Purchasing options.
For testing this, I cannot close period or change period date.
I know there is program that runs Accruals for all unpaid purchase orders (possibly in payables)
I searched, but could not find this program name.
Please help!!!

Getting the variant name when the report program is run in background

Hi All,
How to get the variant name for the report program when run in background? My requirement is to create an email attachement with the name 'variant.XLS', where variant = selection screen variant, when the report program is run in background. The system field SY-SLSET holds the variant name only when run online.
Any pointers to this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Nilesh.

Hello Nilesh,
Please find the algo:
1. Call the FM: GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO to get the background job details.
2. Select data from TBTCP using these details:
DATA:
FP_EVENTID   TYPE BTCEVENTID
FP_EVTPARM   TYPE BTCEVTPARM
FP_ACTIVE    TYPE BTCXPGFLAG
FP_JOBCNT    TYPE BTCJOBCNT
FP_JOBNM     TYPE BTCJOB
FP_STEPCNT   TYPE BTCSTEPCNT.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO'
    IMPORTING
      EVENTID                 = FP_EVENTID
      EVENTPARM               = FP_EVTPARM
      EXTERNAL_PROGRAM_ACTIVE = FP_ACTIVE
      JOBCOUNT                = FP_JOBCNT
      JOBNAME                 = FP_JOBNM
      STEPCOUNT               = FP_STEPCNT
    EXCEPTIONS
      NO_RUNTIME_INFO         = 1
      OTHERS                  = 2.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
*   Error calling FM: GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO
ENDIF.
DATA: FP_VARIANT TYPE BTCVARIANT.
SELECT JOBNAME JOBCOUNT STEPCOUNT VARIANT
FROM   TBTCP
INTO TABLE L_IT_TBTCP
WHERE JOBNAME   = FP_JOBNM
AND    JOBCOUNT = FP_JOBCNT
AND    STEPCOUNT = FP_STEPCNT.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    SORT L_IT_TBTCP BY JOBNM JOBCNT STEPCNT.
    READ TABLE L_IT_TBTCP INTO L_WA_TBTCP INDEX 1.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      FP_VARIANT = L_WA_TBTCP-VARIANT.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Hope this helps.

How to create a variant to a report from another program at run time

Hi experts,
when i am using FM : /OSP/REPORT_CREATE_VARIANT to create a report variant from a program then i am getting an error 'For object /OSP/ERPNR , number range interval 01 does not exist ', how should i avoid it or can any one help me out to create a report variant from another program at run time with the results of the program.so that i can execute the report from here with this variant

If i understand you,
- You can use a FM like [RS_CREATE_VARIANT|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=rs_create_variant+&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue] to create a variant and then use it in the [SUBMIT|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/fa/096d67543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm] statement USING SELECTION-SET.
- But you may also use SUBMIT with WITH parameters which doesnt require variant creation and with much less programming efforts.
- You can mix the two solutions also.
So what is you actual requirement, also look at some documentation like [ Scheduling a Job: Full-Control Method|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/fa/096ce5543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm]

Can a java program be run in the background?

Hi all,
Can a java program be run in the background without the user being aware of it? I need to make a program that continuosly monitors a pc at regular intervals and runs at all time. It should be hidden(shouldn't display on the screen while running) from the user, and also, can it be run as a system file so that even if a user checks he/she would think of it as a system file?

I'm the administrator of all the computers. Then as I said there are commercial applications that do that.
Presumably you expect a problem now. And implementing an acceptable solution is going to take you months. Because not only need to 'hide' the application, you also need to set up all the monitoring and logging capability. And the first will require quite a bit of JNI work along with testing (in particular as it could interfer with existing applications on the users computers.)
I need to
install the software in all the machines and i want
that the users who use the machine should not be able
to close the program through the task manager. If the users have admin rights then they can terminate a windows service.
And if they don't have admin rights then you can simply turn off the ability to install anything.
I want
to know what the resources of the computers are and
that if anyone has added a resource to it or
not(attaching a flash usb thumbdrive etc). Lots of JNI.

I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run on OS 10.6.8. with 2 GB RAM, 4 GB better, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

Looks as if you're just at the minimum specs - http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs/. Says 2GB minimum, 4GB recommended. And 2GB of RAM is all the RAM the 1,1 can handle. If I were you I would call Apple's App Store service center - you have the minimum requirements, as I read it, but perhaps you need a faster processor?
I had a 1,1 but sold it when I bought my late 2011 in March of this year - maybe it's time to look at a new machine?

5 hours to do 6 GB of transfer is NOT normal, even for USB 2.0 so there's something wrong here. I'd say cancel it, wipe the drive and then test the integrity of the drive. Do some file transfers over to and see if it's behaving normally. It could be a bad USB cable, it could be a bad drive or bad enclosure. As it's new, I suspect you haven't really put it through its paces yet and it's important to do that first before commissioning it to serve as your "reliable backup."

How to get the Title and Tcode of a Program during run time

Hello,
I am new to abap and I have this question please. Is the a way to get the title, Tcode and Author of a program during run time? I would like to get the name and title of a program or a view or an include during run time.
Using table TADIR, you can only get the object_name and the author. Is the a way for me to get the Title of the repository object and any Tcode if any is available for the case of a program?
I loop forward for your respond.
Thank you.
Sabina

You can get it by accessing SYST.
SY-TITLE for Title
SY-TCODE for Tcode
I don't think there is any field in SYST for the Author.
To get the author name you can use the TRDIR table.

How do you know what programs are running?

Is there any way to tell from the Dock which programs are running? In Tiger there use to be a little black arrow underneath the app. What's changed in Leopard?

The default Leopard Dock indicators are a bit difficult to see with the light background and 3D glass effect. If you would like to have a different look then go to http://www.leoparddocks.com/ I'm using the "Revamped" design.
