How to distinquish different versions of QT in AS

Hi all,
In trying to debug an Applescript using QuickTime, I've run across an issue I'm not sure how to solve in AS.
I have both QuickTime 5.0.2 in Classic, and QT Pro 6.5.3 in Mac OSX 10.2.8. When I run test scripts with QT Pro 6.5.3 already up, the script does indeed reference QT Pro as I want.
If I don't have QT Pro up and running, but try to bring it up directly in AS, I get the Classic version of QT 5.0.2 brought up instead of the OSX version I want.
How does one pick a version of an application to launch via the Finder say, when there are multiple versions on the system? I thought specifying "QuickTime Player" would be sufficient.
I noticed in the Finder's AS dictionary entry, under "application file", a boolean property "opens in Classic". Do I use this property to tell AS to select the OSX version of QT? If so, how?
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Ed,
You could do something like this:
tell application "System Events"
set Qv to ""
if (get name of every process as text) contains "QuickTime" then
tell application "QuickTime Player" to set Qv to (get version as number)
end if
if Qv is greater than 5 then
display dialog "Quiting the old version"
tell application "QuickTime Player" to quit
open "OSX:Applications:QuickTime Player.app"
end if
end tell
--Naturally you will need to adjust path and names for your envirnment.
But I would suggest dumping the classic quicktime (and all of classic for that matter- have you noticed how much cpu classic consumes?) and then updating your X. You may fine the updates in the software resolve all sorts of other problmes. (AS has had some very nice updates)
good luck,
Reese

How to determine different versions 7950 Twin Frozr?

Hi all,
I have got myself an MSI 7950 Twin Frozr and I am really happy with it thus far. I had a question though, in time I want to get a second one for crossfire and I read that there are different versions. A OC version, a BE version, a V2, with a 7950 board, a 7970 board etc. How can I determine which one I got so my second card will be the same?
Many thanks in advance!

I have got the 7950 OC Boost edition, apparently on a 7970 board (it has a 6 pin and 8 pin connector). Do all the OC BE editions have a 7970 board, and if not, would it be a problem if I pare the 7970 one with one with a 7950 board?

Versioned deployments: how to deploy different version of the same app ?

I 'd like to deploy on a server (single instance) different versions of the same web application, say:
webapp1.war
webapp2.war
webapp3.war
The wars have the same ContextRoot.
It is possible to version them with an attribute in MANIFEST.MF, but is it possible to have the N applications ACTIVE and running ? I'd like that one IP will be served from webapp1, another IP from webapp2, another IP from webapp3, etc.

It may your 'requirement' but I have serious doubts that the app review team will approve it. Save yourself the waste of time and follow my original suggestion of one app. That's the only correct 'method' (w/IAP of course) that will have a chance of success.
See the iOS Human Interface Guidelines and the App Review Guidelines before you go any further. In the case where you need 'official' guidance, consider using support event w/DTS

How to run different versions of Apache Tomcat on one machine?

Hi, I am developing a web application. My application runs on Apache Tomcat 5.5.12 and i am using jdk 1.5_03. My application detects files that are automatically scanned to a specific directory and queues them for capture in a database.
The scanner software (HP Toolbox) is also a web application (Unfortunately), it installs itself with Apache Tomcat 4.03. It is "wired" in a specialised way (not the way you would usually deploy web apps). So the Web server is customised by HP (Hewlett-Packard).
The scanner needs this software running inorder to automatically scan to a specified folder. You can only specify local directories to scan to from the Toolbox application
There seems to be some resource conflict when I run my version of Tomcat when the Toolbox application is running (I get an exception
..IllegalMonitorState...current thread not owner). Visa vera is alos true..if i start my application first the Toolbox application won't run.
I tried to install the Toolbox app on another machine and monitor a directory remotely...this doesn't work because you can't read or write to remote files from a servlet or JSP.
I tried loading my application in the web apps directory of Apache 4.03 but it did not detect my application. I don't know how to configure the Tomcat customised by HP.
How can i go about this problem? Is there a way of running two versions of Apache Tomcat on one machine?
Thanks
Parthiv

This is the exception i get when i try to run my version of Apache Tomcat when the Toolbox is running: My application is set to port 80.
Exception in thread "http-80-1" java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException: current thread not owner
     at java.lang.Object.notifyAll(Native Method)

How to reduce different versions of SQL with bind variables

There is an application, developed on Java.
Application executes SQL following types:
select * from t where id in (:1)
select * from t where id in (:1, :2)
select * from t where id in (:1, :2, :3)
select * from t where id in (:1, :2, :3, :4)
...And as a result very many versions (thousands) of similar SQL.
Do you know a method to reduce number of such SQLs?
I see one method: use one form of SQL with large number of prepared bid variables.
Like as
select * from t where id in (:1, :2, :3, :4, :5, :6, :7, :8, ...);And if query will be executed with one variable, the others will be equal to null.
Is there another method?

Cannot you insert those values into a temporary table and work within a subquery against that table ? That will make the code more secure, especially if the number of values is high.

Patching - patches vs patch sets - how to apply different version numbers?

I am starting with a base 10.2.0.1 install.
What is the difference between a patch, and a patch set? (I assume individual patches are aggregated into a patch set, right?)
I take it, a patch set can take me from 10.2.0.1 to either 10.2.0.2 or 10.2.0.3. (right?)
If I get to either 10.2.0.2 or 10.2.0.3 by means of a patch set, then I assume I get patches only for that new version?
If I get a patch set that is, say, patch set 2 for version 10.2.0.3, then is a patch 2 for that patch set redundant, or does the patch go beyond the patch set?
Sorry if a little confused here, but the instructions are not obvious...

Hi,
What is the difference between a patch, and a patch set? (I assume individual patches are aggregated into a patch set, right?)Your assumption is right.
If I get to either 10.2.0.2 or 10.2.0.3 by means of a patch set, then I assume I get patches only for that new version?I don't understand very well your question here, but patches/patchsetes are cumulative, that say the last patch/pacthset contains all the corrections from previous patches/patchsets.
Your last question is more unclear than your second in my head... but you can have a patch 2 for the patchset 2 of 10.2 release...

Installation of different versions of GUI clients on same machine

Hi All,
Is there any document about how to install different versions of MDM GUI clients on same Machine.
we have different version of MDM server in Sandbox and Developement environment. I know we can install different versions of GUI Clients by specifying different locations. But i am looking for some standard document / SAP note. Please if anyone has this information, it will be very helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Shiv

Hi Shiv,
You can find this information regarding different Version of GUI Clients on same machine from Standard SAP Installation Guide on Page 51
5.1 Maintaining Multiple Versions of MDM it tells that you can install multiple versions of MDM 5.5 on one host and switch between the versions.This may be useful, for example, when updating the patch level.
Please refer to SAP Installtion guide,

How can I distribute an application using Reprot generation Toolkit for MS Office for different versions of MS Office?

I want to create an application which uses the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office. The office version of the target machine depends on what my customer has installed.
From several discussions I have seen that the installer detects which version I have on my development machine. I'm not able to hold three or four machines with different versions (97,2000,2002,XP).
I decided to do the following software architecture:
I create a LLB MakeReport.llb with a VI called MakeReport.vi. With VI server I will start MakeReport.vi in MakeReport.llb. Over a named queue I will send a command from my application to MakeReport.vi. Then the report will be
printed.
I will create this LLB by saving MakeReport.vi with File>>Save with options...>>Application distribution. All neccessary VIs will be in the LLB.
I will hold different directories for each version. I can create different version of the LLB. During installation of my application the LLB for the right version will be copied from the CD to the application folder.
I know I will be restricted in testing my report in only one version and hoping it will be good in the other versions.
I think that the difference lays only in the word and excel related llbs.
1. Will my software architecture work or is it obviously wrong?
2. How will I get all versions from the toolkit CD?
3. Which is the registry key I must read to get the right version (a minor question, if somebody knows I do not need to search for myself).

Using 7.1.1, 8.5.1, 8.6.1, 2009 on XP and RT
Don't forget to give Kudos to good answers and/or questions

Lookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
I hope that makes sense.

How can I save different versions in iMovie 11 (plus angry rant)

Sigh.
My fiancee is sitting in front of the computer crying because iMove just messed up her project. The project that was basically done. The project she has to hand in tomorrow morning (it is midnight right now).
Who knows what happened. Things apparently just jumped around and no amount of undoing is getting her back to where she wants to be (apparently she used undo, then tried to fix things, then tried to undo again).
Which leads me to:
*** was Apple thinking when they removed the ability to save a file? Seriously! Both of us are experienced computer users and both of us are in the (very vital) habit of saving multiple versions of a file. We don't save a version every 10 seconds, and we don't save a version for every insignificant change. But we do save versions whenever we feel we have hit a milestone. And we would have done exactly that had there been some obvious way to do it in iMovie.
OSX Lion (the first version of OSX that desperately makes me want to downgrade) is supposed to autosave so that you don't have to. But iMove 11 apparently cannot do even this simple thing. As far as I can tell you work on your project and it is the *only* version of this project you can ever work on. If you make a change, you can either:
live with it
or
linearly undo as long as you have not quit the program. Heaven forbid that it crashes or (like it just did right now) stops playing back audio and you have to quit and restart.
There must be a way of saving different versions of your project so that you aren't messing with your one and only precious copy every time you make an edit. Please tell me there is. Or how do I get to the autosaved versions? It is probably too late for her now (she has to redo most of the project to get the audio to line up again) but for future reference we could use some help.
Sigh. Now I have to go help her. I feel so bad for her and I pretty much want to chuck the freaking computer through Apple's living room window right now.

Sorry for your frustration.
Here are two tips that may help in the future.
To save a version, use FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a61c0ec
You might also consider using Time Machine backups.

How to use two different versions of Firefox at the same time on Snow Leopard?

I recently upgraded to Firefox 4.0 on my 27" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.7.
Previously, I was using Google's "Page Speed" along with Firebug in Firefox 3.6.15 to optimize images in my web pages, and to find other areas to optimize.
Page Speed is not yet compatible with Firefox 4.0. I wrote to Google about this some time ago -- no answer yet.
If I run Firefox 3.6.15 in order to use Page Speed, I run into a few problems afterward when I start using Firefox 4.0 again, since they both use the same "Firefox" folder in my "Application Support" folder.
How can I set it up so that I can have two separate "Firefox" folders in my "Application Support" folder?
Or is there an easier way to use two different versions of Firefox simultaneously, even if one has extensions and/or plug-ins installed which are not compatible with the other version?
Thanks for a great browser!

Please disregard my question. I just conducted more web search and learned how to use Firefox's profile manager in order to make a separate profile for Firefox 3.6.15.
You can find instructions on this page:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20profiles#os=mac&browser=fx35
'''A small tip:'''
If your Firefox app is named anything other than "Firefox" -- say for example "Firefox 3.6.15" -- when you follow the instructions at the above link, make sure you escape the blank space that is before the version number by adding a backward slash before it, when you type the command string in the Terminal. In other words, in that string, you should use this:
Firefox\ 3.6.15
I hope that helps someone.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

How can I handle deploying multiple test systems on the same PC that have been developed using different versions of LabVIEW, TestStand, and/or Switch Executive?

The major issue here is that the test systems must be documented and validated before being released to the production floor. Given this if a test station has multiple test systems deployed on it that have been developed on various versions of LV, TS, and Switch exec how can I force the test system selected to use the correct versions of TS, LV, and Switch exec.? I understand that the solution would be to recomplie everything and bring them up to the latest version but that would then require re-validation according to the QA department. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It would be nice if theTS deployment was more like an LV executable... meaning when a LV executable is launched it always knows what LV runtime engine to use when there are multiple engines installed on a PC.

Hi,
Multiply versions of teststand can reside on the same system, but only one version can run at a time. They is a utility that has to be run to set the active version.
The SequenceFiles have a version number, and you will find an error will be generate if you try to Load the sequencefile in the wrong version of TestStand.
The labview VIs will only work providing the correct version of the RTE is also installed on your system, even a labview executabe requires the correct RTE to be installed, either as part of the executable installation or as a seperate installation, before the labview exe will work correctly.
I'm not fimilar with the Switch exec but I would expect that it will also require the correct lower level device drivers to be available for the version you are using.
Therefore, as you are indicating that some of your system are at a older version, its difficult to image how you could achive this, considering if you say you have different versions of the software(s). For a start, you may have the problem that newer code/ sequencefiles using additional functionatily not available in the older versions.
I would think your only solution would be to have different deployments covering the different versions you have, or at least bring all your test systems up to the same version of teststand.
