How to load Microsoft Media Center TV from inside of Touchsmart application

Hello,
I would like to be able to launch Microsoft Windows Media Center from within Touchsmart software, however I seem not to be able to add the Windows Media Center application to the list of "Targets" in Touchsmart, actually I would have thought this would be already listed as a Target - but it's not....
In anycase, I tried to manually add it to my Target field but I get an error message in pink bouncing stupidly at me saying
"The target entered is not valid. Please check the spelling and enter the target again."
Here is what I did and would expect it to work, but doesn't - mind you if I enter this from the start->run command or from within a shortcut, the command works, it loads up and runs the TV bypassing the Media Center startup menus....
In Touchsmart application,...
1. Click Personalize
2. Click Add a Tile...
3. Click on Program type and then Next button
4. In Target field type in:
C:\Windows\EHOME\EHSHELL.EXE /HOMEPAGE:VideoFullscreen.XML /PUSHSTARTPAGE:TRUE
5. In Title Name enter "TV"
6. Choose an icon from the Icon list
7. Click on OK
(Here is where I get the error mentioned)
Thanks in advance,...

This question was solved.

I think I see what you mean,...
When adding a new Tile, there is no Advanced option available - right? "Now don't go telling me that there is and advanced option there" I'll kill myself if there is lol
So what you are saying is that you need to add only the command in the target without the parameters when adding a tile - only then you'll be able to save the tile right?
Once the TV tile is saved, you can then go back and Edit the Tile and in the Edit Screen you now should see there is an Advanced options where you can add the Parameters separately from the target.
Logically thinking though they should have the parameter field in the add tile option, or provide an advanced option as they do in the edit tile - you shouldn't have to go back to edit the tile you just added to add the parameters...
Anyway thank you for that - this now works better as I can choose the programs icon instead of the default range...
However for the sake of the interface the add tile really should include the parameters so that it makes it a lot more intuitive to the user when adding a new tile...

How can I execute a .bat file from inside a java application

I have a .bat file which contains an executable file(.exe) and some input and output file names. What commands can I use to execute this bat file from my java application.

After raeding tkleisas' reply; i am trying to invoke another application (which can be invoked from the command line) by using a batch file and trying Runtime.exec for executing a batch file.
My current code is:
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process trialProcess;
trialProcess = runtime.exec("cmd.exe /C start C:\\guns.bat /B");
And my guns.bat looks like:
cd C:\CALPUFF
echo trial
start calpuff.exe CALPUFF.INP
This is not working for me and i get the following in the error stream of the trialProcess:
Error :
The system cannot execute the specified program.
Process finished with exit code 1
Has anyone come across something like this and know what's wrong with this one??
thnx

How to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems

HI all,
how to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems.
Please explain the steps.
Thanks,
cheta.

HI,
Its normally done following: Transferring the master datasources in RSA5 to RSA6 and then replicating the DS into BW and assignment of DS to Infosource and cretaion of Infopackage and load it into the master tables.
Generally, the control parameters for data transfer from a source system are maintained in extractor
customizing. In extractor customizing, you can access the corresponding source system in the source
system tree of the SAP BW Administrator Workbench by using the context menu.
To display or change the settings for data transfer at source system level, choose Business
Information Warehouse → General Settings → Maintaining Control Parameters for Data Transfer.
Note: The values for the data transfer are not hard limitations. It depends on the DataSource if these
limits can be followed.
In the SAP BW Scheduler, you can determine the control parameters for data transfer for individual
DataSources. You can determine the size of the data packet, the number of parallel processes for
data transfer and the frequency with which the status IDocs are sent, for every possible update
method for a DataSource.
To do so, choose Scheduler → DataSource → Default Settings for Data transfer.
In this way you can, for example, update transaction data in larger data packets in the PSA. If you
want to update master data in dialog mode, smaller packets ensure faster processing.
Hope this info helps.
Thanks,Ramoji.

How to find the cost center group from cycle/ segment in CO module?

Hi All,
I need to fetch the list of cost centers in the cost center group against the cycle.
Is there any table which will store the list of cost centers against the cycle?
or else, what I was thinking is use of BAPI BAPI_COSTCENTERGROUP_GETDETAIL, which will give me the list of cost centers,
but we need to pass the controlling area + cost center grp to fetch the cost centers from BAPI, I have controlling area with me but not the cost center grp name, only I have Cycle info lke cycle name, segment name, seq number. so how to find the cost center grp name from the cycle name?

I would check the package for any reference of the specific path to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 path. Also have you run a ProcMon trace to see where the app is looking for the files? The certificate may be pointing to the C:\Program
Files Directory rather than the App-V path..

[iPhone development] How to load the App Store directly from an app?

I need to figure out how to load the app store from one of my applications by clicking a button. The code is relatively easy to load say a website. But when I use this code:
-(IBAction)goToAppStore;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.com/apps/appname"]];
it does not work, because it says too many redirects occurred.
Is there a way to load the app store (and load into a specific app info view) directly from the app, instead of loading a website to load the app store?
Thanks very much,
LOQ123

Thank you.
But I using the one line code I had too many redirects. So, I needed the latter code, which didn't load the app store until all the redirects have happened. Unfortunately I don't understand this code:
// Process a LinkShare/TradeDoubler/DGM URL to something iPhone can handle
- (void)openReferralURL:(NSURL *)referralURL {
NSURLConnection *conn = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:referralURL] delegate:self startImmediately:YES];
[conn release];
// Save the most recent URL in case multiple redirects occur
// "iTunesURL" is an NSURL property in your class declaration
- (NSURLRequest *)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection willSendRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request redirectResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response {
self.iTunesURL = [response URL];
return request;
// No more redirects; use the last URL saved
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:self.iTunesURL];
I'm know where to implement the code, however I don't know where to put my link in inside the specific code up above.
Please help me
Thanks very much

Microsoft Media Center

How do you get ahold of this program, and does it run on the MEGA 865?
Anyone using it, hows it work, was it worth the installation?

You seem to have something against Intervideo software. What software do you use for audio video playback and recording?
I don't think its just me who has something against Intervideo software.
I use MSIPVS (WinDVR) on my system for the TV, and while it does the job and works well, I feel that it is overall poorly designed. Besides I can't be bothered to try anything else, I don't watch much TV now
Now as for Media Center III (HomeTheater), I had this installed for about an hour before uninstalling it, it really is poor. It is a good idea in theory, just really badly written.
I mostly use my Mega PC as a hi-fi replacement, mainly now to play MP3s, and occasionally listen to the radio. I have a large collection of MP3s and WMAs, and like to just stick Windows Media Player in shuffle mode and leave it to it. Media Center III can't even do this simple feature.
On the other hand, the MSI Mega Radio is a great little program, simple and unfussy, my only gripe is that it can't store more than six stations, but I think that is due to a limitation on the Hi-Fi module, be nice if the software would store more though.

How to load the .xml file list from 'C:\Drag_list\Modified' into xmltype tb

is there anyone know why

did not work?
IS there any way I can load the .xml file list from 'C:\Drag_list\Modified' into xmltype table?
Thanks.

did not work?Generally we'll need a bit more info than "it didn't work", was there an ora-X error message? What was the error?
Assuming you're on *nix a 'C:\<folder name>\...' directory spec just plain won't work, the directory has to point to a valid storage location on the database server host.
Try a host command (at the database server) and make sure the .xml file name and location is valid, in sqlplus a "bang" (exclamation) runs a host command, i.e.:
SQL> !ls -l /xdb/faq/testdata
... usr grp ... 2003.xml
...But if you are on windows, its the `host` command:
SQL> host dir c:\drag_list\modified
mm/dd/yyyy ... 2011.xml
... The create directory ... as ... must point to a valid storage location for it to work, at least that is step one.
