Generic File Loading Overrides In Cluster

We followed the instructions in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/deployment/config.html#wp1066442 to setup the deployment plan and file structure under AppFileOverrides directory in order to load the properties file from our application in the cluster.
The properties were loaded successfully by the managed servers running on the same machine where the deployment was executed, but the properties were not loaded by the remote managed servers. We checked the stage directory from the remote managed server, which was populated with the AppFileOverrides directory along with the properties file, so we are confused why the remote managed server can not load the properties. Is there a bug that the ClassFinder of the AppFileOverrides directory is not added in front of the application's ClassLoader for the remote managed server? Or is there some configuration error in our part for the clustering environment?
We are using WLS 10.3.2.0.
Thanks,
Daniel

Daniel,
Since this is a relatively new feature, I recommend a support case. I have yet to try this feature, but your description that it works on a local server, but not a remote one might be a bug and Support can validate.

Configuring "Generic File Loading Overrides" in Weblogic 9.2

I'm having difficulties utilizing file overrides for applications in weblogic 9.2.
To test I created a test war file, packaged in an ear file.
All that's in the war are files: index.jsp and a test.properties
index.jsp just displays a variable from the properties file:
<body>
<%
Properties myAppProps = new Properties();
InputStream iostream =Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("test.properties");
myAppProps.load(iostream);
%>
<%= myAppProps.getProperty("test")%>
</body>
As packaged in the war, the "test" property is set to "original"
I created the following directories:
c:\test\app\test.ear
c:\test\plan\Plan.xml
c:\test\plan\AppFileOverrides\test.properties
This properties file has the "test" property set to "override"
When I deploy this in WL 9.2 the JSP always displays "original". I've tried various other directory structures, tried it outside of the ear as just a war file, and other guesses as to what might be going wrong, but can't get the test.properties file override to work.
I am using XSD deployment descriptors (not DTD files). I changed the Session Invalidation Interval value through the Plan.xml to verify that it is being recognized by Weblogic, and the new value is displayed through the console. My Plan.xml file has the config-root set: <config-root>c:\test\plan</config-root>
Any ideas on what else I can try or can someone post a complete example that works for me to play with?
Thanks!

Thanks for the response, but I'm still getting the "original" value from the packaged properties file instead of the "override"
I've also noticed that if I change a value through the console (just updated the Session Invalidation Interval) weblogic saves the new value to the plan.xml file, but changes my config-root to: *<config-root xsi:nil="true"></config-root>*
I deleted the deployment, changed the config-root back to the directory, and deployed the application again. It does use the value for the Session invalidation but still doesn't use the override test.properties file. Is it not recognizing the config-root property correctly?
Current directory structure:*
c:\test\
c:\test\app\
c:\test\app\test.ear
c:\test\plan\
c:\test\plan\plan.xml
c:\test\plan\AppFileOverrides\
c:\test\plan\AppFileOverrides\test.war\ (directory, not file)

Hi all,
In the above script, what ever the dat file i load, the same C100227-6.DAT's is appearing in the graph. I tried doing it for any other file. But getting some errors and cant trace it out.
Can any one tell me how can i make this script to plot graph for any other file other than C100227-6.DAT mentioned in the script.
Also please let me know how do i learn loading generic file, generic channel referenceing, All generic things, etc etc. Instead of mentioning a specific file in a script . Any material to learn this available please guide me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rash,
Sure, just remove this line from the script:
FilePath = AutoActPath & "C100227-6.DAT"

V8.2.1: generic file i/o error while loading VI's

Hello,
I had a large LV application open and running fine. I closed it, and upon re-opening the top-level VI it gives "Generic File I/O Error" on several sub-VI's (belonging to me, not LV). Opening those sub VI's individually reveals no problem at all, and in any case the whole code base lives in a Subversion repository and I have tried checking out a fresh copy of the whole source code tree and the problem re-appeared. Before Labview displays the "File I/O error" it will hang for several minutes with no disk or CPU activity.
I just tried checking out a fresh copy of the source tree on a separate computer. Now Labview is hanging while loading "<vilib>:\DAQmx\create\channels.llb\DAQmx Create Channel (CI-GPS Timestamp).vi" after having managed to load 920 VI's. On edit: I spoke too soon. It is now duplicating the "Generic File I/O Error" on one of my sub VI's.
If anyone has any clue to this strange behavior please let me know.
Thank you,
-Brian

What I found was this...
My code calls a bunch of subVI's in another directory. Those subVI's in turn had some unwise paths saved in some of them that loaded other subVI's from a network shared drive instead of the local disk directory.
The network shared drive had been taken off line since the computer was delivered to a customer last Friday. When LV tried to load the VI's from the shared drive, it would hang for about 5 minutes, then give the "Generic File I/O Error" with an "Ok" button to continue. I eventually sat and did this for about 13 VI's, taking most of an hour while waiting for the network reads to timeout.
Once my now-broken application loaded I was able to successfully re-direct the missing VI's to the local disk, resolving the problem.
The "Generic File I/O Error" message could not be less useful in this case and I'm rather irritated by the genericity of the message. Something like "Network read failed" would have immediately illustrated the problem and kept me from wasting a whole lot of time deciphering it.

Generic file I/O error. Cannot save VI "filename.VI"

Hi, I have LV 8.2. I am having problems saving VI's after editing them. I am getting the message:
Generic file I/O error. Cannot save VI "filename.VI"
I can recreate the problem by creating a blank VI, placing a property node on the block diagram, right clicking on property and choosing, select property and in the window that pops up expanding Application and clicking on Directory path and clicking OK. I save this VI to disk. Then I load the file again and delete the property node. Now if I try to save that I get: Generic file I/O error. Cannot save VI "filename.VI"
Furthermore with the real VI that I am having problems with. If, when I get the cannot save message, I do a "Save as" and save a copy as "filename backup" and then quit labview without saving the "filename" vi, when I run LabVIEW again I get:
The last time you ran LabVIEW, an internal rror or crash occured at save.cpp, line 821.
I click investigate internal error message now and get told there is a logfile of the error. The contents of the file on one occasion were, quote:

Any ideas?

Hello,
Sorry you've encountered this problem. The cpp error is a known issue, which is filed under corrective action request number : 42BI4OO5. In a nutshell, this means R&D is looking into the problem. I attempted to reproduce the problem as you described below, but I did not get the "Generic file I/O error" as you did.
If you have any further insight or detail which perhaps is the key to reproducing this, please repost, and I'll try to reproduce this again! In the mean time, does it help to copy and paste your code to a new VI, or does that VI suffer the same problem?
Thank you,
Best Regards,
JLS

Generic RMI Loader

Hello,
I'm trying to build a generic RMI loader object, i have for example 2 Remote Objects with 2 interfaces
Interface_A and Interface_B
then in my load code i have to define
private Interface_A objA;
private void someLoadMethod() {
objA = (interface_A) Naming.lookup(some_url);
the idea is to have a class where:
you define a generic objec:
private Object obj;
private Object ifaceObj;
private void someLoadMethod() {
obj = (ifaceObj) Naming.lookup(some_url);
ifaceObj must be the remote object interface..
with this you can load multiple RMI objecs with one class so can i use something like this or try with class.forName and some config files to specify a list of interfaces provided by the server?
hope you understant my question,
Thanks,
Martin Hermosilla

Hello Martin,
If I understand your question, I think I may be able to help.
I host a free software project at Sun's java.net:
https://cajo.dev.java.net
It deals with loading any type of object using RMI, all thorough a single interface. The project site has lots of documentation, examples, Javadocs, and of course full free source code.
I hope it can help you,
John

Flash Player Installer downloads from the Adobe distribution site as a generic file without an extension and the file won't open.

Hi, everyone.
When I download Flash Player Installer from the Adobe distribution site Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe the file downloads to my hard drive as a generic file with no extension, and Windows can't determine which program to use in order to open/play the file. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
Is there something wrong with the downloaded file? Or am I missing required software?
Thank you for your time,
-Brandon

Yes, I've never had a problem before. I've even downloaded the Flash Player Install files from the Adobe distribution site on multiple occasions in the past without issue. The only thing I could think of is that perhaps the ".exe" extension was left off to avoid triggering security measures on a computer or private network that would prevent the download.
Anyway, it worked after I added the ".exe" extension to the filename, so I have no complaints!

I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
It should work with the images side by side.
You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame

Set default app for generic files

I don't know when this started happening, but some OSX update broke my opening generic files. Now when I doubleclick the generic file icon it opens in Microsoft Word, which is unacceptable. So I deleted Word and now the files open in a genealogy application, which has to throw a number of error dialogs before it can be closed.
How do generic files know to open in the genealogy app? Is this something in Launch Services I can change to set them to open in a decent UNIX editor? This bugs me, because it all worked well until a few months ago.
If I say:
defaults read com.apple.LaunchServices 'LSHandlers'
the resulting text contains:
LSHandlerContentTag = ged;
LSHandlerContentTagClass = "public.filename-extension";
LSHandlerIgnoreCreator = 1;
LSHandlerRoleAll = "uk.ac.qmw.dcs.seegedcomx";
seegedcomx is the app that now opens all generic files. Is there a way to set this to a proper application?

More than likely it's a LaunchServices problem and you should reset its database. See http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/resetlaunchservices.html for details.

I need format for data in excel file load into info cube to planning area.

Hi gurus,
I need format for data in excel file load into info cube to planning area.
can you send me what should i maintain header
i have knowledge on like
plant,location,customer,product,history qty,calander
100,delhi,suresh,nokia,250,2011211
if it is right or wrong can u explain and send me about excel file format.
babu

Hi Babu,
The file format should be same as you want to upload. The sequence of File format should be same communication structure.
Like,
Initial columns with Characteristics (ex: plant,location,customer,product)
date column (check for data format) (ex: calander)
Last columsn with Key figures (history qty)
Hope this helps.

CreatorContactInfo struct in Generic File Info Panels

Hi all,
I developed a custom panel with custom metadata in Adobe Bridge CS4, using the Generic File Info Panels.
In this panel, I have to include custom metadata and the IPTC Contact metadata.
No problem with custom metadata, I have a problem with IPTC Contact:
If I insert value in the IPTC Panel provided by Adobe, I see that metadata is written in this way:
<Iptc4xmpCore:CreatorContactInfo
    Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrExtadr="value"
    Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCity="value"
    Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrRegion="value"
    Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrPcode="value"
    Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCtry="value"
    Iptc4xmpCore:CiTelWork="value"
    Iptc4xmpCore:CiEmailWork="value"
    Iptc4xmpCore:CiUrlWork="value"/>
If I insert values in my custom metadata I haven't CreatorContactInfo structure:
<rdf:Description rdf:about=""xmlns:Iptc4xmpCore="http://iptc.org/std/Iptc4xmpCore/1.0/xmlns/"

Refer to an object in Edge from an onclick="" in a .html file loaded into an iFrame in the animation

HI, I am trying to figure out the Edge hierachies by stumbling my way through coding reference attempts. I've hit a wall...
How can I refer to an object and a global function in my Edge animation from an onclick="" located in an .html file loaded into an iFrame created within the master/parent Edge animation. Here's what I have...
My main index.html is an Edge animation. One object <div> is a box created within Edge. I have added an iFrame with the Edge code:
sym.$("MenuPanelScreen").html('<iframe src="list_images_cemetery.html" width="267" height="670" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation"></iframe>');
That .html file which loads into the iframe within the animation contains thumbnails in <a> tags and contain onclick="" statements that should call a function within the Edge file.
Eventually, I want the statements to read something like... onclick="changePic('Dragon.jpg', 'The Dragon', 'Saint and Worm')"
However, I had no idea how to reference the changePic() function in the Edge animation. So, just to figure out how to reference the parent animation from an html in an iFrame, I change the onclick="" statements to...
<a onclick="alert('Try to hide Nameplate'); sym.$('NamePlate_sym').hide();" > <img src="gallery/TheyGaveUpTheirDead.jpg" width="80" alt="Angel and Worm" /></a>
I first wanted to see if I could hide an Edge Symbol or div/element from the child html. I tried the following...
onclick="alert('Try to hide Nameplate'); sym.$('NamePlate_sym', window.parent.document).hide();"
I tried a few other variations that I won't bore you with. Can someone help me with the proper reference to effect an Edge element?
Furthermore, I eventually wnat the onclick="" statement to reference a global function on attached to the Edge stage in the compositionReady event of the stage. The function is...
window.changePic=function(myFileCurr, myLabelCurr, myDescriptionCurr) {
alert("in changePick");
document.getElementById("myImage").src="gallery/"+myFileCurr;
document.getElementById("myImageLabel").innerHTML=myLabelCurr;
document.getElementById("myImageDescr").innerHTML=myDescriptionCurr;
I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Please forgive my ignorance. i am just getting back into coding and learning the intricacies of Jscript and jQuery. Thanks!

Hi again Elaine,
I actually had some success after many attempts with using your code. I can control the .stop() and .play() of the "NamePlate_sym" symbol. Yet, I am still having trouble doing anything else with it. I cannot .hide() it, nor use .html("Change text") on another element on the stage called"Rectangle". If I can accomplish that and all a global function on the stage, I'm in good shape.
I placed the following script in the header of the .html file that gets loaded into the iFrame within the Edge composition:
<script type="text/javascript">
   window.parent.AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback(function(compId) {
   comp = window.parent.AdobeEdge.getComposition(compId).getStage();
   alert("CompID is "+compId);
   var symbol = document.createElement('div');
   symbol.innerHTML = 'Rotate';
   symbol.style.cssText = 'background-color:#fea; width: 50px; text-align: center;';
   symbol.style.cursor = 'pointer';
   symbol.onclick = function() {
    if (comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").isPlaying()) {
     comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").stop();
    else {
     comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").play();
   window.parent.document.body.appendChild(symbol);
        </script>
Once I put window.parent. in the first two lines of code and the last, my test worked. As I mentioned earlier though, I still can't get the syntax correct to .hide() an element (i.e. comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").hide(); does not work), or more importantly, change the innerHTML value of an element on the stage. The code either does nothing or freezes.
Thanks... Tommy

PDF files load on the web, quicktime doesn't and flash doesn't

I am amazed pdf files load but not quicktime video.
Even apples own website has some streaming video and it will not load.
Flash sites don't seem to load either.
But PDF files.
At least they got that right.

Good info on the developer page.
I have a number of QT Videos on my website that I converted to "iPod Video" using Compressor2. Oddly, most will play on iPhone but some refuse! The embedded video frame shows the QT logo and a "play" icon when it think it can play, otherwise it show a greyed "play" icon with a line through it. And I thought all the videos were the same!
I'd give out the web page in question, but the last thing I need is 700,000 hits from curious iPhone owners. Send me an email if you're curious and I'll be happy to share.
