How to create hard links in the Finder?

Does OS X provide any way to create hard links for files, or is using the Terminal and the "ln" command the only way to do so?

You can create an alias in the Finder using File -> Make Alias or by command-option-dragging a file. An alias is similar to a hard link. If you're already aware of this and specifically want to make a hard link and not an alias, that's something you'll have to do in the Terminal.

  • How to create a link in the head section of BC template?

    Can anyone please explain so that even I can understand the reason why the following script does not work as I would expect?
    I am trying to append a line of html code to the <head> section of a Page Template.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function loadScript() {
    if(window.location.href.indexOf("fish") > -1) {
    alert("the url contains the string fish");
    var csslink = document.createElement("link");
    csslink.setAttribute("rel", "canonical");
    csslink.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
    csslink.setAttribute("href", "http://www.xyz.com/fish/herring");
    document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(csslink);
    window.onload = loadScript();
    </script>
    Secondly if one cannot append to the <head> can one append to the <body> ?
    Any help appreciated.
    Kind regards

    Hello peterwulf,
    Looks like you're missing a } above the widow.onload. That should fix it.
    Hope this helps,

    Check Finderr->Preferences->General and ensure that HDs are selected for display. If so and they still don't, Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, and see if that does the trick.

  • How To:  Create a link to gatewayed content (e.g. in email)

    I apologize if this is too basic of a question but I can't find any results after looking for several hours.
    I would like to generate a URL in an email that points to the portal and a specific portlet in the portal. The portlet has limited access rights so the URL should cause the portal to go through the login page and then redirect to the portlet. Can anyone point me to the documentation that describes this or give me an example?
    Thanks in advance!
    Mike

    Using the PTARGS might also solve another difficulty I've encountered passing (dynamic) querystring parms to portlets through the gateway. Your example seems to work great for portlets, but now trying to access a Community page containing a portlet to retain branding elements.
    For portal pages, should the ObjectID be the pageID (i.e PageID=0 for the default page) or is the ObjectID for a community page some other value (where in PlumDB is this stored) ? I changed the ClassIDView to 514 which should indicate a Community Page but it's still not loading my page. Adding to my confusion, the PTCOMMPAGES table stores the PageID as a negative value.
    Here's my example:
    http://portalserver/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_0_0_201_0_514/http%3B/portletserver/ApplicationName/default.aspx?querystring=value
    Any thoughts?
    re: How To: Create a link to gatewayed content (e.g. in email) Posted by Mike Beniston 5/5/05 9:45:40 AM It turned out that I was pretty close.
    If anyone else is interested, here is one way that works.
    The PTARGS are _0_userid(leave at 0)_objectid(of portlet)_communityID(if any)_0_ClassIDView(43 = view for portlet)
    "http://portalserver/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_0_348_208_0_43/http://portletserver/ApplicationName/pagename?querystring arguments.

  • Urgent: How to create db link in OWB through wizard ? Where is that wizard

    Hi,
    I am facing problem in finding database link creation wizard in OWB.
    Connectors are created. How to use them in creating database link and where is the option to create the database link in OWB?
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Amit.

    Ola Amit,
    You can create database links within the ORACLE Modules you define.
    Expand Databases/Oracle and right click on one of the modules.
    You will see four tabs. The third will allow you to select or define database links
    Select one of the already existing links or create a new one by selecting the Create DB Link button...
    This is for the OWB version 10.1.x
    Regards,

  • TimeMachine won't create hard links for replacement drive if not connected

    With TimeMachine, I backup two external drives (let's call them drive A and B). Recently, drive B broke and I restored the data on a replacement drive and gave the volume the same name as the broken one had. I made TimeMachine aware of the fact that this new drive corresponds to the old one by using the "tmutil -a associatedisk" command as described here: http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html
    When TimeMachine started the next backup, it did not perform all full backup of the new drive, though still way more than it should. So far so god.
    The problem is: if TimeMachine performs a backup while the new drive (the replacement of drive B) is not connected, it does not create the hard links for it. Drive A is not connected either, though hard links for it show up in the Backups.backupdb folder for this backup.
    If the replacement drive is connected the next time, TimeMachine will perform a full backup of it ... most likely because the previous backup does not contain any hard links.
    Is there a way how to fix this?

    paninaro95 wrote:
    (To run the command again is actually not necessary in my opinion as the man page for tmutil states that TimeMachine works with the UUID of the filesystem
    Correct.
    Et voilà 1: The first time, TimeMachine backed up only about 0.5 GB ... which is a fairly reasonable value that is likely due to the changes on the internal disk, not to my external replacement disk where about 170 GB are eligible to be backed up.
    Yay!   
    FYI, there are ways to tell what was backed-up.  The log messages show how much was copied from each drive.  The widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting displays the backup messages from your logs.
    In addition, see #A2 there for a couple of apps that will show the details -- which files were backed-up.
    Et voilà 2: When TimeMachine performed the next backup while the external drive was not connected, the hard links for the external data were created in that backup.
    Double yay! 
    To my understanding, I don't understand why renaming the drive makes a difference if TimeMachine uses the UUID of the filesystem.
    So I guess there must be a bug somewhere as "tmutil associatedisk" should fix the connection -- no matter what the drive name is.
    There must be some other connection, some vestige of the name left over somewhere. 
    I filed a bug report to Apple! :-)
    Great!

  • Is it possible to create a link on the content of a text annotation??

    Is it possible to create a link on the content of a annotation??? Like the content of an annotation is some notes as well as a link...
    content -
    this is my first annotation(notes)
    http://www.google.co.in/(link)
    is it possible to create a link for the url given in the content of an annotation??? On click on the url...it should get opened...
    please reply its really urgent....

    How/where do you want to accomplish it?
    Within the document? Using Acrobat? Using another application?
    Using Acrobat within the document would be possible using Acrobat JavaScript. You can access the annotation objects of your document, and you then can evaluate the properties of each of these objects. Have a closer look at the Annotation Object section in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.
    You will look for the contents property, and evaluate its content. When you have found something looking like a URL, you can create a link (using the rect property of the annotation), and you have what you want; you might then think to destroy the annotation, as it may overlay the link.
    Hope this can help.

  • Creating a Link on the Column Heading

    Good afternoon,
    I know with reports, you can create a link for each cell in the report attributes section. My question is it there's any way to create a link for the column header without hard coding it into the query that generating the results.

    Ivan,
    If you are using the classical reports, you have the option of creating column header using pl-sql block which will be dynamic. Thanks

  • How to Create a Link to a Discoverer Workbook in Apps11i?-[solved]

    I tried to create a link to a disco workbook in apps 11i using metalink document 278095.1. It seems to be working ok for discoverer which is installed on the same machine as the apps11i is on(because when I clicked on the link which I have created in apps11i, I see a default disco4i welcome page which got installed out of the box with apps11i). But we are using discoverer version 10g which is on a different server. Does anyone has ideas on how to create a link for a disco workbook which is on a different server other than apps11i.
    Discoverer version is 10g
    Apps version is 11.5.10.2
    Thanks in advance

    hi Rod,
    I did as you said and it seems to be connecting to the right server. But I have one more problem. In metalink document it says I have to enter the following in the Parameters text field of Function form in apps:
    workbook=<(workbook identifier from step2) &PARAMETERS=param_parameter name One~Parameter One Value*param_parameter name Two~Parameter Two Value*
    But I dont understand what should I have in place of param_parameter name One~Parameter One Value. Is it the name of the parameter given in discoverer, if so can you give me an example of how to write it. Because when I typed the name of the parameter like &PARAMETERS=Client Id, where client Id is the name of the parameter, it is giving me the following error
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
    Thanks for your help

  • Help Please - having difficulties creating af link from the text to an attached file i acrobat

    I have been reading the help, but it just wonn't work when I try.
    I have tried as followed (I am working with a danish version, and hope to matched the same word as in the english version of Acrobat Xpro):
    1. From the toolbox i choose content and then 'hyperlink'
    2. I mark the text from which i wish to make a link
    3. Acrobat respond with an popup picture 'create a link'
    4. From the popup I mark 'Open a side' and push 'next'
    5. Acrobat respond with a new popup picture 'create / go to a side'
    6. I go to the navigator and open the list with attached file's that I have embedded in my acrobat file.
    7. I mark the to which i wish to make a link to
    8. In the popup 'create / go to a side' that stilll is open, i push 'Mark hyperlink'
    Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
    How do i do it right?
    Please help.

    Hello Bernd
    Thanks for a quick respond.
    This corresponds to the text I have tried myself, but apparently I do something wrong
    1.      Open a PDF that contains a PDF file attachment – done
    2.      Go to where you want to create a link. If that location is in the file attachment, click the Attachments button in the navigation pane, select the file attachment, and click open.
    Here I go to side number 10 from which I wish to make a link from (I am not open the attachment file at this moment, as the location not is inside the file attachment).
    (I earlier also tried to  mark the attachment file and click open, and It result that the attached file just opened normally without creating a link to the file).
    3.      Choose Tools > Content > link, and select the area for the link
    Here  I mark the text on side 10 from which I wish to make a link to a attached file
    4.      In the Create Link dialog box, set the link appearance, select Go To A Page View, and then click Next
    Here I have selected ‘Go to a page view’ as told and I click Next
    5.      Set the page number and view magnification you want, either in the parent PDF document or in the file attachment, and then click set link.
    Here I go to the navigation pane and mark the attached file from the file list (the files in the list hasn’t any side number in the list) and then I click Set Link.
    Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
    What do I do wrong.?
