How to distinguish use of cmdlet versus alias

It appears that Microsoft did not perform a very clean vetting of verb-nouns within its own products. The Hyper-V folks have a set of cmdlets that are of the form verb-VMxxxx. It seems like the System Center Virtual Machine Manager folks created
aliases of the form verb-VMxxxx. So, if I am on a workstation (which I use to remotely manage multiple systems) and want to issue the simple Hyper-V command Get-VM -Name "VM" -ComputerName "Host", it fails because the SCVMM alias
for Get-VM (alias for Get-SCVirtualMachine) takes precedence.
How does one enforce the use of a cmdlet versus an alias?
Thanks for the assistance.
On a different thought, I would think that Microsoft would have a vetting process to prevent this sort of thing from happening at least within its own products. I can understand it possibly happening with third party modules getting added in.

Check out Get-Help about_Command_Precedence. This help file not only lists the precedence but offers some ways to run "hidden" commands.
For testing I set an alias in my $PROFILE like so: Set-Alias -Name Get-Date -Value Test-Connection. When I ran Get-Date it would asked for a computer to ping. To get around this, I set a variable like so: $Var = (Get-Command Get-Date -Type Cmdlet) and then
to get the date I had to enter &$Var.
Considering your frustration I thought you might like this little exceprt from the help file: "The best way to manage command name conflicts is to prevent them."
Here's the precedence:
1. Alias
2. Function
3. Cmdlet
4. Native Windows commands
Note: If you have two of the same type (cmdlets, aliases) with the same name then it will run the one that was added to the session more recently.
Edit: Added precedence list and note.

How can I use layer axis versus world axis to animate?

Hi all,
I'm open to alternate ways to approach this.
I'm trying to create a sphere using several images. Say, 200 images, arranged in 3d space so they face outwards and are all forming one large sphere. Pretty standard thing (like the glowing blue droid apps sphere in the android commercials, like this).
I used Red Giants PlaneSpace to quickly make a sphere. I wish to 'explode' the sphere so all pictures move away from the spheres center, but in a staggered and random way rather than all at once.
I thought this would be easier as I see each layers orientation changed each layers axis. Thus the the layers Z-axis points away from the center.
Example:
I tried using a simple linear expression to update the Z axis over 20 seconds to its current position minus 2000, like this:
amt=linear(time, index, index+20, position[2], position[2] - 2000);
transform.position = [position[0],position[1],amt];
This updates the Z-axis position but it's based on the world axis (or comp axis), not the layers axis. The layer axis I refer to is the axis widget that appears when you select a 3d layer and the red/green/blue 3-way axis widget appears.
How can I get the expression to use the layers axis rather than world?
Is there another approach to this? I'm definitely not up to date on 3d trig enough to write a formula to plot a course away from a specific 3d point. Hopefully there's a simple way to do it that I overlooked.
I will add that I did tie all of the 200 pictures to a null, scaled the null and it does push all the pictures away. I also added an inverse scale expression so they stay the same size as they originally were instead of scaling up with the null. However I really want to make them explode in a random fashion rather than "all at once" and I need to get away from the null scaling concept for that to have access to each individual picture.
Thanks!

Thanks for that info!
This is a little off original topic but on the same mission: I'm trying to get them to start at random times. I think it comes down to my lack of understanding on 'when' expressions are calculated. I tried to supply a random() value to linear() but it seems every single frame these things are recalculating.
Is there a way I can generate a random number once and not every single frame so I can have each picture start at a random time?
I was trying to the effect of: linear(time,random(0,10),20,0,-2000); but that just seems to re-randomize every frame so expressions must be calculating more than once, or once per frame.
If I supply linear with static values (e.g. linear(time,0,10,0,100)) it works and will give me movement starting from second 0 moving to the value 100 over 10 seconds. If I wanted to start from a random second but always take 10 seconds, how would that work in the expression?
The idea is to get the pictures to explode in a bit of a random order which means some come before others. Maybe seeding is my issue?

How can I use an iCloud email alias in Mailbox or other third party mail apps?

I have an iCloud email address, but prefer to use one of my aliases for sending messages. Third-party email clients like Mailbox don't seem to recognize these aliases. Has anyone had luck here, or are iCloud aliases Mail.app-only animals?

Mailboxes will handle aliases in Gmail, but not iCloud (no idea if that is in the works or not). Boxer makes no mention of aliases specifically for iCloud, but does support them in general. I prefer Mailbox, but Boxer is a decent app.

How do i use my apple id with ichat?

how do i use my apple id with ichat?

Hi,
Only @Mac.com and MobileMe Apple IDs are valid AIM names as well (And the Passwords need to be 16 characters of Less - AIM end Issue).
If you have any other form of Apple ID then you will need to register for either an @mac.com name or create an AIM one.
NOTE The @Mac.com Registration requires you link an active Email to the @Mac.com name.
THIS CANNOT BE an Email address you have used for an Apple ID already.
The AIM Registration asks for Email address for Security and Password Recovery and is not Hard Linked in the same way (you could use the same email to set up multiple accounts/Screen Names)
To state things another way:-
A MobileMe ID is an Email address.
It is an Apple ID and will work in those places it is supposed to, iTunes, Apple Support Communities (with Alias set up), Face Time (With Registration) Apple On-Line Store, Mac App Store.
It is a Vlaid AIM NAme as well (If the password is kept to 16 characters or less).
@mac.com names are Apple IDs with the same access as above.
It is a Valid AIM Screen Name.
If it was registered before MobileMe started it maybe linked to a Current MobileMe account as a valid Email.
A Current Registration is purposely for iChat use and Requires a Non Apple current Email that is NOT linked to any other Apple ID
Any other name or Email used to create an Apple ID is not an Email with/through Apple.
It is NOT a valid AIM screen Name.
It is only an Apple ID that allows access to the places listed above.
If it is an email this cannot be used to Register with @mac.com
I hope this is clear.

How do I use my Iphone 4s camera while on a cruise, yet not receive texts and calls and ultimately , the charges?

Hi!!! My family is going on a cruise this summer. I do not want to but any internet plan on board or through verizon, as it can get quite costly with
two teenage daughters. But, we will be using our phone cameras. How do I block calls and texts, yet still use the camera? And does blocking them still result in no charges..roaming, international, on board, etc.? Thanks for all advice and answers!!!

Another option you may have is to temporarily suspend service...that would guarantee you won't have any charges for unexpected texts/calls. Might be a little more extreme then you want to do though. Contact VZW for more details on that option if interested. I would echo the idea of just using a camera versus your iPhone unless for some reason you don't own an actual point and shoot camera. You can easily put the pics on your iPhone when you return home from your trip if that is the reason you were really wanting to use the iPhone for picture taking.

I see what you are saying.
The JNDI approach should work-we will try to reproduce this internally.
I would recommend leveraging the OSGi service registry, instead of using JNDI, however. The Event Server is a modular server based on OSGi, so one should use the OSGi service registry whenever possible instead of using the jndi registry. Jndi is primarily there to support legacy code that requires Jndi.
Any data sources that you configure are automatically registered in the OSGi service registry. When there is more than one data source they can be distinguished using their name.
There are a couple of options.
If you want to inject a reference to your datasource into a Spring bean, you can use an annotation, @Service, to annotate a setter method on your bean (see my previous post). The container will then inject a reference to the data source into the bean.
You can also put the following in your spring application context file
<osgi:reference id="myDataSource"
interface="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
This creates a bean proxy that references the datasource by looking up the datasource in the OSGi service registry. It works similarly to JndiObjectFactoryBean, but it uses the OSGi service registry instead of the JNDI registry. You can read more about it here
http://www.springframework.org/osgi/specification
(Look in section 3.3)
Hope that helps.

How to distinguish individual rows in a view?

As well known, we can use rowid to distinguish individual rows in a table. However, who know how to distinguish individual rows in a view? For there are not rowid in a view.

I'm not sure I usnderstand your question, or at least I hope I don't.
We do not use ROWID to distinguish rows in a table: we use unique iodentifiers, that is primary keys. A primary key is stable across the lifetime of a record: a rowid is guaranteed only for the lifetime of a transaction, and then only if we have locked that row.
From this it follows, we should so design our views that each row in the view has a column, or combination of columns, that uniquely identify it.

How do I use AppleScript to Change the Creation Date to the Current Date?

I sorted my downloads folder by creation date and found that the items were sorted seemingly randomly. On closer inspection, I saw that the creation dates were not the same as the dates that I downloaded the items, so I figures that Snow Leopard was using the date given to it by the server.
In order to get the items sorted by download date, I figured I'd use Hazel, but it doesn't have a “change creation date” item. It does, however, have an “run AppleScript” item.
So my question is this: how do I use AppleScript to change the creation date of an item to the current date?

TC (Techno Cat) wrote:
Okay, I tried changing the creation date with SetFile, but it kept giving me an error:

Is it possible to use the Internet User Alias?

Hi,
We are currently authenticating users against an LDAP datasource and pulling back the employee id as the SAP username in order to provide the correct authorisations. The problem with this is that we then have to create another user account for people who require R/3 access via the GUI.
What we want to be able to do is to use the Internet user alias against their R/3 account so that we essentially only have 1 account to maintain for each user.
Does anyone know how this can be achieved?
Thanks in advance!
Keith

If you are using ABAP for your UME user store, the LDAP IDs are probably stored as aliases in the backend ABAP system. If that's the case, your users already have corresponding, automatically generated, backend R3 IDs. Trying searching by alias for one of your web users and see if there is a user master record for that user. They can log into SAPGUI using that auto-generated ID, although you may need to assign a password first. From the user perspective, it will still seem like they have two different accounts though, since the login ID will be something new for sapgui.

HOW-TO Distinguish between file exported from Datapump and normal export

How to distinguish between the dmp file export from the data pump utility and the export utility in Oracle 10g and 11g .
Thanks,
SS

Like Werner suggested, it's never hurt to try anyway.
use imp with SHOW=Y, if it works then Original otherwise Data pump.
Once you determined one file, there's good chance that the rest are same. I don't think previous DBA will go through the trouble by mixing data pump and traditional exp/imp.

Change default gateway using *netipaddress* cmdlet

Hi, is there a way to change the DFG after the IP is assigned to an adapter?
I am using Server 2012. I created a new IP using "new-netipaddress -Ipaddress 1.2.3.4 -prefixlength 24 -interfaceindex 10". I have forgotten to add the -defaultgateway parameter in the command. IP address was sucessfully assigned, but I cannot figure out
a way to change/add a default gateway.
Does anyone know how to do it via native powershell cmdlets (no gwmi, functions or scripts)?
Cheers

I am having a similar problem and using Remove-NetIPAddress does not really help. Remove-NetIPAddress does not affect gateway settings and gateways remain assigned to the net adapter. Furthermore, after I use RemoveNetIPAddress cmdlet, the NetTCPIP\Get-NetIPConfiguration
