Help with workflow - Package etc.

We just started using Package to update our running file... a small publication twice monthly, with lots of photos, pdf's etc. instead of the links file getting bigger and bigger with age, package will bring forward only what's repeating, right? - Looks good so far. Now we want to generate our print version, mostly b&w, some spot color, but offer advertisers the option of sending color ads to be used on the web version. First impression is, they're gungho... Haven't figured out how to get this accomplished just yet. Thought to make up the regular file, save, make plates etc. then copy, swap the color stuff in and make PDF's for the web... but where to put the color stuff, in the regular link folder, it'll start growing immediately, but maybe still manageable. Making sense? Any good ideas would be welcome... the web version is frontlinebuses.com (((it's elementary, we know... we're really bus folks, not design artists...))).. Thanks By the way, still using CS3. L W

Somehow in our process we've avoided problems, every issue opens and works perfect (has for years now). We do use a save-as often, they may be the key... We're looking at several ways to accomplish the color for web thing.
Well, that's what everyone says rith up to the point where the file fails catastrophically, usually just before deadline. Consider yourself luck and living a good life.
Save As isn't going to get rid of cumulative corruption, it just either overwrites or creates a new copy of the file with the same corrupt components. It will remove useless change history, though. When you start fresh from the template each time you are always saving a second-generation file so the odds of problems are vastly smaller than the odds with a 52nd generation file.

Need help with Nagios package

I'm attempting to build a Nagios package, and I'm pretty close, actually have it installed and running, BUT...
when I run the web interface, it calls some CGI files, and I get an error that it can't find them. It can't find them because it's looking for them in /repo/packages/nagios/usr/sbin/nagios/sbin (with '/repo/packages/nagios' being our local repo where the package was built, and '/usr/sbin/nagios/sbin' being where it should be looking for the CGI files.)
I cheated by setting up that path and copying the files over, just to get it working, but obviously my PKGBUILD needs some help. I think the problem is pretty simple (just like me) and probably has to do with a configure prefix (with 'cgiurl' being the likely culprit.)
Here's my package build, any help would be greatly and fantasticly appreciated.

Thank you,

Definitely, if I ever get it working properly. However, since I have it working it working well enough for our purposes, I won't be putting a whole lot of time in the PKGBUILD.
Thanks to Cactus for the advice above, but the build failed (don't have the error message handy.)
This was for Nagios 1.2, I may try building a package for Nagios 2.0b4 and see if I have any luck.

Need help with Workflow Issue: One notification sending out non-stop email.

Hi,
We've created a custom PO Approval Workflow based on standard PO Approval Workflow and we've had this for a while now. Last week, we encountered an issue where the notification keeps on sending email to the Suppliers and Buyers. We found out that the particular notification_id in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table keeps getting updated by the minute setting the MAIL_STATUS to INVALID then back to SENT then back to INVALID again and so on. We think that whatever is updating this table is the cause but up until now we haven't found what's updating it. Below are some information of our instance.
Oracle Applications: 11.5.10.2
Database: 10.2.0.4 64 bit
OS: AIX
Custom Workflow based on revision 115.127.11510.16
Customizations:
- Created custom notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP based on EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
- Created custom message XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF based on EMAIL_PO_PDF.
- Added #WFM_CC to XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF.
- Created custom attribute XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER and set as Performer to notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
- Created custom function XX_ADDTL_STARTUP_VAL right after function "Set Workflow Startup Values". This function sets #WFM_CC attribute and XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER attribute.
Not sure if the customizations have anything to do with the issue since not all POs have this issue. Have anyone experience this? Would really appreciate any help with this.
Thanks,
Allen

Noob help with workflow

hi. Noob here.. so forgive my stupidity !!
what I am trying to achieve is this ... trying to get infopath form submission repeating values into a sharepoint library as fields.
So I have managed to get the following fields promoted to sharepoint.
Product - product1;product2;product 3;product 4
Price - £50;£60;£70;£80
Qty - 1;50;10;60
How can I parse these strings and extract the substrings into list fields ? Can I do this with a workflow ?
Appreciate any help with this ! thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use the workflow to extract the substrings.
To achieve your scenario, we should first retrieve the data from the InfoPath form.
If your workflow is running on an InfoPath form, you can use the technique described in How to retrieve InfoPath form data in a SharePoint
workflow.
If your workflow is running on a list item or document that is not an InfoPath form, you will have to download the InfoPath form from the library in which it is located, and use XPath expressions to access and modify data in the form. See
Specifying namespaces to use XPath queries in InfoPath for examples.
Then we can use the Utility Actions, such as the
Extract Substring from Index of String to extrach the substrings.
There is a good article, you can hava a look at it.

NEED HELP WITH WORKFLOW CONFIGURATION

I need help with 3 situations below. Please help me with these. How do I configure these. I also haveto provide specs to the Abaper. What exactly do I need to include in the specs. I anyone has the specs similar to these please send me over. Also tell me what I need to do to get these requirements fulfilled.
1) Description:
This is a workflow requirement to serve as a reminder of upcoming investment
maturities.
Requirements Details:
Create a workflow to serve as a reminder of upcoming investment maturities.
Donor System Processing Narrative:
Read the maturity dates on investments.
Target System Processing Narrative:
Send a notice to the parties that an investment will be maturing soon.
2) Description:
Implement workflow to route invoice receipts using a one time vendor for management
review and posting
Desired Functionality:
If a one time vendor is entered by the AP Voucher Clerk the invoice will be automatically
parked by the program and a workflow notification triggered to the Accounting
Supervisor and Accounting Manager (backup). The Accounting Supervisor will review
the parked document and imaged copy of the actual invoice and post the parked
document.
3) Description:
An approval workflow is needed for credit memos posted to SAP customer accounts.
Desired Functionality:
The Cash Journal Clerk will post a credit memo to the customer account using transaction
FV75 Park Customer Invoice. This transaction will automatically trigger a workflow to
the Accounting Manager for approval and then to the CFO who will approve and post the
parked document. (In order for this transaction to automatically trigger what configuration needs to be done).

Bob;
You can borrow the example code that ships with both NI-DAQ (in case you are doing NI-DAQ function calls) and Labview. The best examples to start with are the ones that have the prefix STC.
Hope this helps.

Please help with workflow inspired SQL

Hi everyone, I need some help with a piece of sql I need to create. It will be used in a workflow scenario and is therefore a bit hairy and has some limitations. So here goes..
I have 2 current tables that will be used in this query. The first is a table used as a supervisor cross reference, and the second will be used for signing authority, or approval authorization. In short...the first table will give you the supervisor for the particular employee or employee in the where clause. This tells us who to route to. The second table has the operators authority level. As an example.... 1, 2, 3, or 4. A 1 could signify that this supervisor can approve for up to $5,000, and a 4 could signify that this person can approve up to $250,000. thats the basic idea.
So what I need to do in ONE statement is get the requestor's supervisor, and then check his/hers authority level for level 1, 2, 3 or 4. The authority level needed will be passed into the query, so I will have that as well as the requestor. And here is the hard part...... If no rows are returned (the supervisor does not have authority to approve) I need the query to apply the same logic to the next supervisor. In other words, the supervisor's supervisor. Every requestor will have a supervisor. Every supervisor will also have a supervisor....so it goes until we get to the CEO. So the query needs to keep going until it finds a row matching the signing authority.
So the limitations are......this needs to happen in one SQL query, and this query can only return ONE field!
Here are some creates and inserts to give you something to work with. Been suffering with this one for a few days so your help is GREATLY appreciated.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that's very helpful!
Whenever you have a question, also post the results you want to get from the sample data your posted.
Always say what version of Oracle you're suing.
In the sample data you posted, I only see one row in each table. Does that really give a good picture of the problem? If the problem involves going up the chain of command 1, 2, 3 or more levels, then shouldn't you have a chain of at least 3 people to show the problem and test the results?
I think what you need is CONNECT BY Query , which works on a table with a parent-child relationship. Given a parent, you can find that ow's children, the children's children, their children, and so on, however many generations there are.
I don't think I can demonstrate this with your sample data, so I'll use the scott.emp table, whcih you should be able to query.
The emp table contains a hierarcy of employees, including this data:
NAME                 EMPNO        MGR        SAL JOB
KING                  7839                  5000 PRESIDENT
   JONES              7566       7839       2975 MANAGER
      SCOTT           7788       7566       3000 ANALYST
         ADAMS        7876       7788       1100 CLERK
      FORD            7902       7566       3000 ANALYST
         SMITH        7369       7902        800 CLERK
   BLAKE              7698       7839       2850 MANAGER
      ALLEN           7499       7698       1600 SALESMAN
      WARD            7521       7698       1250 SALESMAN
      MARTIN          7654       7698       1250 SALESMAN
      TURNER          7844       7698       1500 SALESMAN
      JAMES           7900       7698        950 CLERK
   CLARK              7782       7839       2450 MANAGER
      MILLER          7934       7782       1300 CLERKThis show, among other things, that the employee with ename='KING' (empno=7839) has no boss.
JONES (empno=7566) does have a boss (mgr=7839), namely KING.
SCOTT (empno=7788) has a bos (mgr=7566), who is JONES.
I got the results above using this CONNECT BY query:
SELECT     LPAD ( ' '
          , 3 * (LEVEL - 1)
          ) || ename          AS name
,     empno
,     mgr
,     sal
,     job
FROM     scott.emp
START WITH     mgr     IS NULL
CONNECT BY     mgr     = PRIOR empno
;This is an example of a Top-Down Query , where we start with a parent, then find its children, grandchildren, and so on.
In your probelm, you want to do a Bottom-Up Query ; given a child, you want to see if its parent has a certain level of authority. If not, you need to look at that parent's parent, and keep going until to either reach someone with the right qualifications, or you reach the end of the chain of command.
That's similar to this problem: given a set of employees in scott.emp (say, everyone with job='CLERK') we want to find their closest ancestor who has a sal of 3000 or more. Look at the data above: you can see that SMITH is a CLERK, and SMITH'S boss, FORD, has sal=3000, so we want a row of output that shows SMITH and FORD.
For a different example, looks at MILLER. MILLER's boss, CLARK, only has sal=2450, so we need to look at CLARK's boss, KING.
One way to do that in a CONNECT BY query is:
SELECT     CONNECT_BY_ROOT ename     AS subordinate
,     ename
,     LEVEL - 1          AS steps_apart
FROM     scott.emp
WHERE     CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF     = 1
START WITH     job       = 'CLERK'
CONNECT BY     empno       = PRIOR mgr
     AND     PRIOR sal < 3000
;Output:
SUBORDINAT ENAME      STEPS_APART
SMITH      FORD                 1
ADAMS      SCOTT                1
JAMES      KING                 2
MILLER     KING                 2You should be all set to write the query now.
Just kidding. I'll bet there's a lot of stuff in this message that's new to you. It's all documented in the SQL Language manual:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/index.htm
If you'd like help, post your version, a more complete set of sample data, and the results you want from that data.
Explain, with specific examples, how you get the results you posted from the data you posted.
Do as much of the query as you can, and post your code.

Some help with dbms_metadata package

Hi
I starting to use the package DBMS_Metadata for return metadata and I have some questions
Firts
I have a table TBMETADATA (subject varchar2, result clob)
object = 'table', 'procedure', etc.
result = keep output dbms_metadata.get_dll
Now if I drop a table x from my database. How can I to run the script for this table x, stored in TBMETADATA.
Any idea

hi user,
try with this,
   select a from
    select dbms_lob.substr(result,4000) a from TBMETADATA
   ) where a like '%X%'
   Since you are not saving the table name in the TBTEMPDATA table im searching the same using like operator.
Hope this helps.

Help with fixing package

Almost a year ago, the SVN URL for the redeclipse-svn package changed. At that time, it was orphaned, so I adopted the package and fixed the URL in the PKGBUILD. Since then, I stopped playing the game. Now, when I try to install it on my new computer, the package function fails. Being inexperienced with PKGBUILDS, etc., I would like some help in fixing the package.
Here's the package function:
cd "$srcdir/$_svnmod"
make -C src/ DESTDIR="$pkgdir" prefix=/usr \
appname=redeclipse cappname=REDECLIPSE \
appsrcname=redeclipse \
system-install

Sorry for derailing this. Karol, the size was only an issue for me - that doesn't seem to be related to the OPs problems. I don't know where the 800MB figure came from, but nearly 2GB of space were used up before the svn checkout stalled due to running out of space - the download never even completed. I didn't try again after that as my download speed isn't that good and it would take a long while to just confirm what I already suspected about the Makefile.

Help with Workflow FCP to Compressor then DVD Pro and Shaky footage

Hi, I am new to using a MAC and also to Final Cut Studio so if this question has been asked before or seems obvious then I offer my apologies.
I have a clip on the timeline which is a little shaky but I need to use it. I have added a SmoothCam filter and when I playback in FCP all seems OK however after sending to Compressor then eventually to DVD Pro the clip shows as being shaky again, almost as if the filter had been deleted in the Compressor. Could someone perhaps talk me through the correct workflow I should be using and maybe suggest where I am going wrong please. As I said this is my first attempt to author a DVD with FCP on my MAC.
The footage was captured on my Panasonic Home camcorder. The settings in my camera were set at 1920 x 1080 HG mode for High Definition.
In my camera user guide it refers to the images being based upon the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec so should I have set something similar when capturing into FCP.
Any advice would be welcomed.
Regards
Fred

Hi Mike I tried everything to try and resolve this one, I tried all combinations of field dominance. I also followed the recommendations from the Apple help to use the intermediate codec (search under AVCHD in the Help files) If I get anywhere I will mail you

PS I had some advice from another forum group who said to try and export a Quicktime movie into DVD Pro and not to send to Compressor, I will try that later and see if that helps.

Please help with workflow - iMovie '08 and Panasonic HDC-SD1

My two teenage sons play high school basketball and I've been videotaping their games using our new Panasonic SD1. Picture quality is terrific, but I've been taken aback by how much time it takes to get the footage from the camera into iMovie and then how long it takes to burn a DVD from that iMovie file. I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong and that there's a quicker way to get the job done.
The kids play four periods and I've been stopping and starting the camera in between, so I end up with four separate files on the SD card. Total time is usually an hour and change.
Okay here's the workflow from there:
~ When I get back to my iMac (2.16 Core 2 Duo with 3GB of RAM) I place the SD card in a card reader and import the four files into iMovie from there. Importing the hours' worth of video takes a couple of hours.
~ I then make one project with all four files for export to iTunes so the boys can watch on our Apple TV. Exporting, using the "large" format takes another couple of hours.
~ I then use the same exported file to make a DVD for the coach using iDVD. That process takes more than three hours.
I'd actually like to split out the four quarters of the game into separate menu items on the DVD. My thought was to make each quarter a different iMovie project, but it looks like I can't queue the four exports so I'd have to stay close to the computer to do them individually.
Thanks in advance for the help.

If you only have 1 file per quarter, one obvious thing to do would be to edit out the time in between plays, the time-outs, and the like. That is easily done in iMovie.
Having said that, importing (and exporting) in high definition takes time, and your times do not seem unreasonable.

Please help with importing packages

I am trying to learn the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API. I have successfully installed java2SDK.
I downloaded the JAI library (jai-1_1_2-rc-lib-windows-i586.exe) and have installed it.
After installation, I added the JAI lib to the CLASSPATH.
CLASSPATH = C:\java\jai-1_1_2-rc\lib
when I try compiling a demo program from this tutorial page:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/javaai/jai/src/FrontPage.java
I get these errors,
package javax.media.jai does not exist
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
how do I know which directory to copy the JAI lib files to so that
this import statement can find JAI
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
please help if you can
Thanks
John

Hi,
You have to give the full path of the jar file in classpath along with the jar file name
something like CLASSPATH = C:\java\jai-1_1_2-rc\lib\jai.jar ...see the jar file name and include that also

Should I delete all my .MTS files? Help with workflow desperately needed

I use a Sony NEX 6 to film a lot of personal projects. My workflow has so far been
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 to hardrive Import to iMovie
But now I am going to start using final cut pro x. Apparently Final Cut X is unable to import .MTS files so again, workflow at the moment is
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 Import to Final Cut Pro X and convert to ProRes
My hardrive has quickly filled up and I've realised that I stupidly have my footage saved in 3 different locations. Lightrooms catalogue (.MTS), the file on my hardrive that I export the footage from lightroom to (export as H.264 but file type says it's mp4?) and Final Cut Pro's catalogue (ProRes).
I want a system where my footage is saved in one place on my laptops hardrive, then I will back my computer up with an external hardrive.
How does this workflow sound?
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 Import to Final Cut Pro X Delete footage from lightroom Delete exported file on computer Backup laptop on external hardrive
Can anyone suggest a better workflow?
Will I come across any problems in the future by deleting everything except the ProRes files?
Is lightroom a good enough program to be exporting my footage from or should I use a dedicated converter?

Thank you for your help, yes I will be backing up elsewhere. I'm a massive noob at all this and after an afternoon of searching I think I've got my head around it. Best option for future footage
Import AVCHD directly from camera into Final Cut Pro. Convert it to ProRes if I have the space or if I'm not happy with the speed of working with native footage.
For all the footage that I have in lightroom but no longer have on a memory card my plan is to
Rewrap the files (I'm using a trial of clipwrap which changes the .MTS to .MOV).
Import the .Mov files into FCP, transfer file into FCP catalogue
Delete the movies from lightroom and the lightroom catalogue

Need help with a package

I'm don't know anything about packages or much at all as flash is concern. I'm trying to help the company I work for with a banner for the site... I have everything working fine as long as I do it from my desktop but the moment I put it on the site is blank.. I figure out the it may have something to do with my 1st line. I made a directory on the site with the exact same folder structure but I may be missing something. I thing that maybe it because if i rename or move the folder from where is at on the desktop it gives error in flash. How would i go about doing the import so it will read from a website directory.
package
import cn.com.aven.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Loader;

import flash.events.TimerEvent;
public class BannerRotatorMain extends MovieClip

The class files are used for creating the file that you will place on the server, the fla and as file do not get placed on the server, just the html, swf, and possibly others. What files did you load to the server? Do you have a URL you can share?

Please help with bean package problem - serlvet can't find package

Hi,
I'm fairly new to java web development, and I can't make any good learning progress due to an error I just can't seen to fix. It seems humiliatingly trivial, but I can't get past it.
Explanation:
I'm experimenting with beans, and I've created a very simple servlet called AppSetup to create a LinkBean instance and store it in the servlet context for later retrieval. My problem is that the servlet wont compile because it's telling me the package in which the LinkBean class file is in doesn't exist.
The servlet is in package org, and the bean is in package org.bean. This is the import statement in the servlet:
Code:
import org.bean.*;I've also tried:
Code:
import org.bean.LinkBean;and
Code:
import bean.*;I've tried all sorts of different package structures, but I get the same following error for all of them:
Quote:
C:\tomcat\webapps\chub\WEB-INF\classes\org>javac AppSetup.java
AppSetup.java:14: package org.bean does not exist
import org.bean.*;
^
AppSetup.java:19: cannot find symbol
symbol : class LinkBean
location: class org.AppSetup
LinkBean lb;
^
AppSetup.java:23: cannot find symbol
symbol : class LinkBean
location: class org.AppSetup
lb = new LinkBean();
^
3 errors
edit
Server is Tomcat 5.5
Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

The bean class has to be in the classpath. The classpath variable informs the compiler\jvm where to find the .class files that are being referred.
To set a classpath,
javac -classpath C:\tomcat\webapps\chub\WEB-INF\classes;C:\tomcat\webapps\chub\WEB-INF\lib;C:\tomcat\common\lib;.; AppSetup.javaThere are 3 paths in the classpath variable above.
1.\WEB-INF\classes => Your class files
2. \WEB-INF\lib => Your app library files (.jar files)
3. \common\lib => common library .jar files
4 The dot (.) => current directory.
Read about classpaths [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/javac.html]here
