How to identify files associated with apps?

Hello all -
I am considering buying a new Mac mini which would come with Yosemite. My existing mini (mid 2011, Lion 10.7.5) has a lot of apps I do not wish to migrate, so I think I am stuck with manually reinstalling each of the apps I want on the new computer. How do I identify the necessary files associated with these apps (preferenes, app support, etc.) so I can copy them over after reinstalling on the new computer? Is there any way to track what files were installed along with the app when it was first installed? Anyone familiar with the claim of CleanApp to log all associated files with an installation (at time of install), or any other software that does this?
Thanks - Randy

Thanks again Arthur for your response. I looked at RoaringApps but was not sure if I should enable the real time or just use basic. Real time seems to require a lot of downloading (and modification?) What do you recommend - Real TIme or Basic?
As far as SunnyMenu, it is old but has worked flawlessly through and including Lion 10.7.5. The only alteration of the system is that it is added as a startup item in my User in System Preferences. It does not change the GUI, but adds menus (that you can customize) in addition to, rather than changing what System X does. The Dock will not accomodate nearly as many items and SunnyMenu allows for nested subfolders of menu items. I find it extremely useful and use it every day. I realize one day it will no longer work, but hope that, as it's pretty simple, that may be a bit further off. As a rule I don't dabble in System modifiying stuff like maintenance, clean-up, speed-up, "optimization" etc. and just rely on System X. I do have iStat Menus, but I don't believe that's modifying the System, but only displays information. RoaringApps seems to indicate it's compatible with everything through Yosemite. Would you recommend against that as well? It saved me once when my fan failed but I noticed the iStat temp & rpm display and got it repaired at my Apple Store before I completely toasted my mini.
Thanks again for your replies, they have been extrmely helpful in understanding how to start planning my move to a new Mac mini with Yosemite!

How to identify field associated with a parameter ID

Hi All,
Im trying to identify the fields associated with different parameters ID in User Profile(SU3) transaction.
\[removed by moderator\]
Thanks
Edited by: Jan Stallkamp on Aug 6, 2008 2:39 PM

Hi,
As provided by Atish has provided the required details for you.
1. Table TPARA is where Parameter-ID's are defined.
2. Table DD04L is where a parameter-ID is associated to data element.
Note that all parameter-ID's that are defined are not necessarily to be used on data elements. We can define parameter-ID which can be used programatically instead of data elements.
Considering your examples: BUK & F02 are used at data element definition whereas the others were not defined at data element but were used in Programs.
Try doing a where-used list on the same and you will understand how they were used.

You need not concern yourself too much with this, since the system will run this updater as and when necessary—you don't need to run it yourself.

"Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': The solution does not have a WSP file associated with it." occurs while deploying from Visual studio

HI,
I get this error "Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': The solution does not have a WSP file associated with it. " when deploying my project from visual studio 2010 to
SharePoint 2010 site. I tried restarting IIS, but it didn't help. This application used to work fine until the server crashed during the deployment process. All the other applications on the same server works fine also. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance,
AM

Hi
AM ,
Thank you for your posting!
According to your error message, it says your solution does not have a WSP file associated with it. Take a look at the file system. After you Right Click -> Deploy Solution on the VS Solution, there
should be a .wsp file at <Solution Directory>\bin\<debug|release>.
Also the error can be occurring when the developer try to deploy solutions over pre-existing solutions with material changed in the solution. Go to your Central Administration Site and then
Operations and then Solution Management. Make sure that there not already a solution with the same name deployed or installed there. If there is, remove it and try deploying again.
And you could look in logs and find if there is a below error in ULS log (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS).
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Best Regards,

EA Could Not Find The .html File Associated With...

After naming folder names, I now get the "EA could not find the .html file associated with..." message when I open the .edge file. When I open the .an file, I have all elements and the timeline are gone! How can I restore it? Surely, it is just a question of changing a path, or? Please help. Thanks!

From the File > Open menu, browse to the that same folder (the newly renamed one), and select the .html file.

Fresh Leopard install gone Wrong - PKG Files Associated with Safari

I just purchased a used Macbook Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz that came with Tiger installed. I upgraded to Leopard by zeroing the hard drive and reinstalling Leopard and all updates.
The problem I am running into is that for some reason, and PKG files downloaded to install programs (i.e. Skype) will not install because the PKG file is associated with Safari. I check on my Mac Pro, and it has PKG files associated with "Installer". I tried to find "Installer" as a program on the Macbook but had no luck. Any ideas? With this being a fresh install I have NO idea how this happened. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks.

Hmm, I tried to associate a file with the Installer, but wasn't able to get the system to tell me where it is. There is a command line version of the installer in /usr/sbin/, and that may be what the system uses under the hood, but I couldn't find a way to get to that either (I was trying to do this in the Get Info pane, under Open With).
I don't know why pkg is associated with Safari. It could be that your launch services database got hosed somehow during your upgrade. If you're willing try something, it might be that rebuilding your launch services database will help. From the command line, run this command:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
(the above should all be on one line). This will reset, then rebuild the database. Although I don't think it's strictly necessary, restarting your machine after this command has run successfully would probably be a good idea.

Displaying icon file associated with the exe file.

Hi ,
I want to display the icon file associated with the an exe file.
I know that it is posssible to (Using wni32 API's) it is possible to extract the ico file. But I don't know how I can display it in my Java application.
It will be great if anybody can throw light on it.
With Regards,
Praveena

Hi,
what functions do you both have in mind when talking about extracting the icon file using JNI and Win32 API? I know there is ExtractIcon in VisualBasic and Delphi that works for this, yet I do not see anything similar in JNI.
Thanks in advance,
Gleb.
P.S. You should be able to display .ico files after decoding them & encoding them into gif/jpg in JIMI (Sun package for advanced image/graphics management).

Hi Vinit,
if you want some Windows File Server integrated into Portal, please do not use a WebDAV Repository, but use the File System Repository instead. Therefore you need to configure the according Repository Manager. Please refer to this documentation:

How to use File Adapter with hierarchial Structure?

Kishore

Hey Kishore,
In order to create a structure you need to use the file with convertion mode on the sending communication channel of the file adapter.
check the link for the needed configuration paramters.
If the structure is more complexed you can use the Contetnt master(CM) from itemfield which allows to ceate XML file from complex flat files and more.

Unable to open files associated with Adobe Reader - program goes into a loop

i am unable to open any file associated with adobe reader or adobe pro. when i double-click the file, adobe reader opens up but it goes into a loop.
adobe reader opens, then a progress window opens, as if the file will open but adobe closes and opens again and the same cycle repeats itself until i manually close the program.
any advice?
update:
i can open regular .PDF files when i double-click the icon and i can also open .PDF files when i open adobe reader first and then choose open file. it's just the .FDF files that are the problem (so far).
the file in question happens to be an .FDF extension, which is an internet generated form. i attached a screen shot of the screen that pops up, goes away, and pops up again that creates the loop.
the white out section is the server name where the file was saved to. but i also get the same symptoms when i am in internet explorer, hit the generate form button.

hey ankit,
sorry i didn't see a notification that you replied to this discussion.
"1. Generate a new PDF and a FDF file. Try opening the same and see if it behaves the same way."
yes, it does behave the same way, it's just a continuous loop until i have to kill the process.
"2. Check if you have access to the PDF that is being used by the particular FDF."
by this do you mean the correct permissions? if that is what you mean, then yes, the permissions are set correctly.
"3. If possible, please send me the FDF and the associated PDF that is behaving in this way on your system."
i really wish i could but the information in the form is sensitive and cannot be sent.
as an update though, i reimaged the customer's workstation, installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1 and it worked perfectly (finally). HOWEVER, after about two weeks the same symptoms returned!

How to do file validation with ODI 10.1.3.5

Hi Team,
Please help me, how to handle file validation with ODI?
My source is files.
Requirement:
With ODI i have to do the file validation and file data loading successfully. Once it is successfully done then i have to move the particular file and move to different directory.
Any internal tool is there in ODI package to watch the file.
Regards,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
You can do your file loading and validation in an ODI interface.
Once you are done with the interface, add it to a package, you can set up subsequent steps in the package to move the file to another location using the built in ODI file utilities in the package.

Visual Source Safe keeps checking out my .cs file associated with a report

Hello there.
I am new in this community and I need some help. I am part of a team that works with Crystal Reports under .NET framework and we are using Ms Visual Source Safe. Any time we open a solution (.sln file) all .cs files associated with a Crystal report are checked out. This, of course, drives all of us crazy. If I try to delete the .cs file, it is added automatically. And we could not find any solution to this problem.
I compared the 2 .cs files (before and after check out) and the indeed differ. The namespace , to be more specific is different.
I believe the problem is that we are using a separate project that contains the report files and then those .rpt files are added as links to the main project.
So ... my question is... is there anyway I can tell Sourcesafe or Crystal report or any other program, application or person to stop checking out my .cs files or stop modifying them?
Thank you.

Hello Don.
Thank you for your answer.
It seems I have SP1 already installed. I am referencing the following files with versions in my report project:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine v12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework v12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore v12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource v12.0.2000.0
I personally believe that the problem is with the link files.
To be more exact, I have several projects (csproj) that handle all reports and report loading. I also have several applications that refer these projects (not all in the same time). Because all .rpt files are loaded at runtime, I made these files Embedded resources and I created a folder in the main projects named Reports where I added all .rpt files as links.
When I open main application A solution, all .cs files associated with the .rpt files are checked out (the namespace is modified to A).
When I open main application B solution, all .cs files associated with the .rpt files are checked out (the namespace is modified to B).
And so on.
And since we are a team of several developers working with all main applications, this is rather annoying.
I hope this presents my situation a little more clear.
Any ideas?
Thanks again

Is there a way to store files associated with my page (js, png, css, etc) privately on the cloud with Thimble?

Right now the only way I have found to have css and js files associated with my page is to put them in a public folder on Dropbox. Is there a better way?

If your making it Privately, then it won't visible in Thimble.
Dropbox, Box, Skydrive are the best way for External files right now.
Thimble is always public only, it won't be private. It won't be public until you share the link.
