Need help in creating script for "Task Schedule" in Oracle E-Bussiness Suit
Hi,
I need some urgent help regarding the scripting of Oracle E-Business Suite application. I am new towards working on Oracle Applications. I have been using LoadRunner 11.0 and protocol oracle applications 11i for the scripting of the application. The problem is as follows:
Scenario- Schedule an incident to a resource.
1) Log in to the application.
2) Open Oracle Forms Page.
3) Enter the details of the incident number.
4) Right click on the incident number and then select “schedule” option.
5) Check / Select the resource listed in the new form.
6) Click on “schedule” Button.
7) Exit the oracle forms.
8) Logout from the application.
I have recorded the scenario but when I try to run the script, it fails after completing the 4th step from the scenario mentioned above. I have done all the required co-relations..
Another issue that I have noticed in the scipt is that it records a lot of requests to the AppsTCFServer.
When I check the Tree View of the script, I have found that there are around 25 requests to the AppsTCFServer recorded in the script. In the header of these requests a TCF Start/Session number gets generated randomly. This number stays the same in few AppsTCFServer request headers and then a new number gets generated and the cycle continues.
However LoadRunner does not generate this number by itself during replay. I cannot find this number in any previous responses.
In the last few days, I have tried my hands on Oracle Openscript tool to record the above scenario, but still I am getting the same problem, i.e instead of getting the correct response from the server for the AppsTCFServer requests, I am getting the message "X-session 7098.... not found - aborting ".
I get this message whether I use LoadRunner tool or the OpenScript tool.
Please help me solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Soumya MukherjeeThis isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site. Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code. But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours. There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it
I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it to another paragraph style. I don't necessarily need someone to write the whole thing, by biggest problem is figuring how to find just the first instance of the paragraph style. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Hi,
Do you mean first instance of the paragraph style
- in a chosen story;
- on some chosen page in every text frames, looking from its top to the bottom;
- in a entire document, looking from its beginning to the end, including hidden layers, master pages, footnotes etc...?
If story...
You could set app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle to your "Style".
Story.findText() gives an array of matches. 1st array's element is a 1st occurence.
so:
Story.findText()[0].appliedParagraphStyle = Style_1;
//==> this will change a paraStyle of 1st occurence of story to "Style_1".
If other cases...
You would need to be more accurate.

I am trying to convert my prcess from DTS to SSIS. I am running this report out of SAP and then using Monarch to put into the correct form, then I am using the DTS to put it into the database on the SQL server. I am able to get all the other info to
move out having so much trouble here to get the plant number. The issuse is that it is on top on the page and it will change when a new plant is needed.
Thanks for any help
I need help wrting a script that will put that 7010 into a cloumn nnamed plant number.To convert from DTS packages to SSIS you can just open the DTS package in a new SSIS project (depends on target SSIS version by using SSDT or BIDS).
The rest is mechanics how the iteration with SAP is done and may be beyond the scope of this forum.

VishalUsing my Very Favorite Essbase Database In The Whole Wide World, aka Sample.Basic, I wrote the following nonsense code snippet:

"Actual" = "Actual" + "Actual"->"Opening Inventory" / "Actual"->"Additions" * "Actual"->"Ending Inventory" ;

Helpful Linux Bash Scripts for I.T. Admins
I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for helpful / simple Bash scripts that do helpful tasks in regards to Linux system administration? I have never created or used a Bash shell script but know that many of you guys do. I have no programming experience what so ever so decided to ask if you guys do have one or few scripts that are useful in basic administration tasks, could you please post them or at least point someone who is interested in the right direction?
Thank you so much!I'm no sysadmin but one were to use command-line a lot i would give ZSH a shot. A nicely configured zsh shell can be unbelievably comfortable and is certainly a great tool.
As for scripts I always thought of them as little helpers customized for certain situations. For instance easing repetitive tasks, batching some steps and timing/automating little things. For general purpose I'd probably look at available software first.
Maybe tmux for terminal management, ranger for file management, a tiling window manager for efficiency, ssh and other survaillance/maintenance software? Personally, I'd very much like to hear, too, what software/scripts/.. linux systems admins use to keep the work to a minimum . -
Hi All,
I am not sure why my Holiday scripts keep returning Null, I have attached the script and xml files.
If someone can help would be great.
Thanks,
HamedSo if you read through the logic of the script, it looks for Hokiday1 in the XML file theN Holiday2 then Holiday3, etc. As soon as it find one that doesn't exist is when the loop ends. If it doesn't find any, it returns null. Since your XML file starts with Holiday2, it returns null when looking for Holiday1 and then exits the script. I would try changing your XML file to begin with Holiday1 and aee what the debugging looks like after that.

Need Help on powershell Script to send mails in different languages
Hello, Just wanted to use the script below to remind users of password expiry date (I got it from internet New-Passwordreminder.ps1). We have companies in many countries, so the email should be in the language of that country. So since our users are in different
OU's according to countries, I thought some one could help me edit this script and say if the user is in AB ou then email in english will be sent, if in BC ou then the email will be in Russian....So in the script I will have all the languages I need
to have written.
<#
.SYNOPSIS

Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".

Need help with easy script for open / close app and move files
Hi,
I'm not a scripter.. never done anything special perhaps more complicated than /shutdown -s on cmd..
I actually learned ASCII C language on university but never used it in real.
I'm trying to create a basic script that perhaps you could help me or guide me how to do it..
The commands are
1) Close a running app (end task it or force kill it, I prefer end task it)
2) delete files from x location
3) run .exe app from y location
4) close that running app
5) move files from z to y
Perhaps adding few "wait few seconds" commands in between each, so the apps will launch successfully..
My first question will be whats the easiest script language to do that?
I tried VBScript but couldn't find commands for open or close apps.. also for controlling files..
And what commands can do that? I could google them up for better understanding no need for rough guide
And lastly, does it too hard? If it takes more than hour to make it (learn and process) than it ain't worth it..
Thanks alot ahead!
Jordan.hmm 2 questions:
1) taskkill.exe causing me access deny error.. I used "taskkill.exe /IM softwarename.exe"
how do I get permission or something to fix that?
2) on the "move" command..
First, its a "copy" instead.. but I easily figured that out..
but more important is that I want to copy a folder.. with unknown list of way too long files and sub folders..
and all I see is ability to move a file..
Is this possible?
Thanks -
I just thought I may find someone here that could help me write a script I'm having trouble with.
I'm using a 'Personal Domain' name at MobileMe.
I have this Code listed below that requires the 'Formmail' free script
from my provider. I don't want to use 'Formmail', so how should I
right the Code below to allow users to click 'Submit' and then the
users own email program would open by default with my email
address in the 'To" box.

Your website should have the formmail.cgi in the cgi-bin folder.
MobileMe does not support server side scripts. With or without a domainname.
One iWeb and one personal domain
iWeb is an application to create webpages. It's not a domain. All pages at MobileMe are covered by your Personal Domain. No matter what application you use to create webpages.

So , I edited the ITunes.java as described in the Admin guide.Copied the .class to my cgi folder in the server.I copied the itunesu file from the shell folder of the sample code.I have modified it accordingly.But when I run it in browser(Firefox) as ..../cgi-bin/itunesu it just gives me a blank page.Nothing shows up.I ran the ITunes.java file locally and it generates an HTML output, which I copied and created a new html.After I run this HTML file, it opens my itunes, but again it says page not found and url contains https://www.xxx.edu/cgi-bin/itunesu?destination=xxx.edu where xxx is my institution name.Not sure if I am supposed to display my institution name in forum.
The admin guide says on page 15 step 4.Copy the itunes.class file and other itunes file to your web server's cgi-bin directory.
I am not quiet sure what does other itunes file mean??

The itunes file from Shell folder has been modified as follows

all the other things in that file have been untouched.
I also generated the debug which looks like this
iTunes U Access Debugging
Received
Destination xxx.edu
Identity "my name" <[email protected]> (mylogin) [1243]
Credentials Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:xxx.edu
Time 1196706873
Signature 533870b8jshdidk333lfsf6a3143a55c132ec548a4d545bd79322402e8e2596e4
Analysis
The destination string is valid and the corresponding destination item was found.
The identity string is valid and provides the following information:
Display Name my name
Email Address [email protected]
Username mylogin
User Identifier 1243
The credential string is valid and contains the following recognized credential:
1. Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:xxx.edu
The time string is valid and corresponds to 2007-12-03 18:34:33Z.
The signature string is valid.
Access
Because the received signature and time were valid, the received identity and credentials were accepted by iTunes U.
In addition, the following 2 credentials were automatically added by iTunes U:
1. All@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:xxx.edu
2. Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:xxx.edu
With these credentials, you have browsing, downloading, uploading, and editing access to the requested destination.
I am pretty new to this, and working on this for the first time.If someone could guide me through this would be pretty helpful.This is only going to work under IE !
Go to your page template :
Modify the definition, make sur you have this :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>#TITLE#</title>
#HEAD#
<Script language = javascript>
Browser = navigator.appName
Net = Browser.indexOf("Netscape")
Micro = Browser.indexOf("Microsoft")
Netscape = false
IE = false
if(Net >= 0) {Netscape = true}
if(Micro >= 0) {IE = true}
function XYpos() {
if (IE == true) {
xPos = event.screenX
yPos = event.screenY
alert(xPos + " left " + yPos + " down")
else if (Netscape == true) {alert("Script won't work: " + "\n" + "You're using Netscape")}
</script>
Modify the body definition, make sure you have this :
<body #ONLOAD# onMouseDown = XYpos()>

Sreaming at the top of my lungs for HELP with Java Script problem!
Hello,
I have this strange problem that no one seems to know why or how to fix it.Whenever I encounter a web site that has java scripting for anything pop ups or redirects to url's anything that says java script when I mouse over the link my browsers do nothing.That is for explorer 6.0 beta netscape 4.7 and netscape version 6.I have tried in another forum some suggestions but nothing changed even though I am told nothing is wrong with the java scripting.I used to be able to click java script's with all of these browsers but no longer.That was a few months ago.Now to try something new I tried to see if a new browser would work.I now have the latest version of Opera.It did work but using Opera on some sites limits what I can do so it doesn't solve my problem.Then I tried the Sun JavaHot browser it also worked but limits what I can do on some site's.I have Windows 98 & updated most of my dll's etc & my java is version 2 1.3.1.My java script is enabled in Explorer & netscape's & the security is at a minimum level.Please help me figure out why these other browsers work but the other's do not.I want to edit a web site of mine but I can't because of this problem.I am very frustrated by this and need as detailed help as I can get.Anything of a suggestion would be very much appreciated.But I am also not an expert on the working's of a computer so bear with me.
BrianHi,
Well I am thinking that if anyone could know something about Java script it would be java developers.But anyways I had the previous version of explorer 5.0 & the java didn't work in it either.Now how weird is this,I opened netscape 4.7 today & the java scripts are suddenly working.This has me scratching my head wondering if my computer is possesed by some force beyond my capability to know...????Weird as it seems though the explorer still will not respond to a java script.

PS CS4 crash when attempting to view preferences
Hi all, I'm running Photoshop CS4 on Windows XP (32bit). Photoshop itself seems to work fine, but if I try to view certain menus such as preferences, it will display the "CS4 has encountered an error and needs to close" message before crashing out.

Have just installed Adobe Photoship Elements 11. Finding online assistance very frustrating. Is there a printed manual available - or a 'dummies for Adobe' available? If so is the printed manual explicit in its instructions? Many thanks
