Is it possible to create an action to copy channel name text and insert into channel in CS5?

I am a screen printer and I print my separations from Photoshop. I routinely work with multi channel files or RGB files with additional spot color channels. I have created actions to place my registration marks, re-size images, etc to get ready to print but I manually have to create the text labels for each screen if they are missing from the original artwork.
The files I work with have channels named as "Base White, Red, Green, 284 Blue" etc indicating the ink color. What i would like to be able to do is click an action that would copy the text from the channel name and insert it into a separate or each/all channels near the top of the file so that when I print each positive it has a corresponding label for ink color.
I am not sure if this is even possible, and I am limited on my knowledge when it comes to actions and have pretty much got lucky in the past getting them to do what I want without unnecessary steps.
On my registration target action it creates a new channel with each individual reg mark then combines them into one separate channel in which I just copy the contents and select all the ink channels and fill with black to make them appear, i'm happy with the steps it takes as it isn't too much trouble and if this could do the same with labels I would be happy with that.
Thanks in advance!

Actions are, as far as I can tell, plainly incapable of this, Scripts on the other hand are not.

Is it possible to create a horizontal slider that includes both text and pictures?

I need to create a horizontal slider that includes both an image and selectable text, but I can't seem to figure out how to go about this in Muse. So far all I have been able to do is to use the Image description as the static text, but this text will not slide horizontally, it will just change, and the picture will slide underneath it.
I want both the picture of the phone, AND the text next to it to slide horizontally when the user clicks the next/previous buttons. The placement of the text needs to change depending on which message will be in the next slide, so it will be impossible to use the image description for this purpose.

Thanks for posting.
You can achieve this by using slid show. Add image to the slide and there is a text box at the bottom of the slideshow box, which you can drag and place on the image within the frame. Please refer the screenshot below.

Is there a way to create a heading with shading behind the text and thin lines above and below?

I'm working with InDesign CS6, Windows 7.
Is there a way, using paragraph rules, to create a heading with shading behind the text and thin lines above and below the text?
I'd like to create headings that look like these:
Thank you!

I have a document where I almost do such, but without the fill. I use a Head Style which Spans Columns for this instance; it allows the haeds to flow and fill the width.
Paragraph Rules above and below are turned on with plenty of offset.
I tweaked my setting to accomodate your need - It required only one instance, not above and below, and changing the stroke to a double stroke.
It may be necessary to create a custom stroke to modify the proportion of stroke vs fill. There is a difference of thin-thin and thick-thick, neither of which seemed perfect but might be dependent on the Character height.
Creating custom strokes is accomplished via the Strokes Panel.

Is it possible to create l3vpn without enabling mpls in the core and PE routers .

Hi
i have below setup , in this PE1,P,PE2 routers do not have mpls support , it have only MGRE and GRE tunnel support ,
is it possible to create l3vpn without mpls here .
bgp session between PE1 and PE2,
CE1---------------PE1-----------------P---------------PE2------------CE2 .
PE1,P,PE2 do not have mpls support .
Thanks
Duraipandi

hi durai,
you can use the vrf-lite model but this is complex to manage in larger networks.
for example:
CE1 ---PE----core(x)---P------PE---CE1
CE2 --/ \----CE2
in this case, without mpls, I need to create on the core(x) link 2 vrf's with 2 vlans to go to "P".
and the same on the other PE and link.
Now if you think that there are more P's with backup paths or more CE's that linkage exponentially increases to define those vlans and in all your P routers is that awareness of every CE route!
MPLS just simplifies this; single core link,by just using labels. Your P routers only see PE next hops and are opaque to the number of vrf's you carry/service. Adding another P or PE device integrates into the routing naturally and MP BGP takes care of the PE advertisement. So expanding and rerouting are more natural and graceful here too.
So while technically MPLS can be omitted, it is just not a smart thing to do from a design perspective in l3vpn.
cheers!

Is it possible to create a Synonym with different column names

Hi,
I want to create a Synonym with different columns names (Columns not in original table) . I am not sure if this can be done . Any suggessions...
Thanks in advance....

Synonyms are not limited to tables. Accroding to the SQL Reference, a synonym is:
an alternative name for a table, view, sequence, procedure, stored function, package, materialized view, Java class schema object, user-defined object type, or another synonym.
In fact, synonyms are not even validated until they are used:
SQL> create synonym my_synonym for table_which_does_not_exist;
Synonym created
SQL> select * from my_synonym;
select * from my_synonym
ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid

When creating a return by copying an order tax and charges are not defaulting?

Hi,
I have created a Return by copying sales order. But tax and charges are not defaulted from original sales order. Please note unit selling price is 0 for this item. I am using 11.5.10.2 version.
Sales Order: 143674
Item: UT1
Quantity: 2
unit selling price: $0
Tax: $0
Charges: $0
Calculated price flag: Freeze Price
But Return created as follows by using copy.
Return Order: 6678
Item: UT1
Quantity: -2
unit selling price: $0
Tax: -$5
Charges: -$20
Calculated price flag: Partial Price
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Hi
At sales order form, you select Action > Copy
Change the order type to your "Return transaction type"
Go to Line Tab
Change the line type to Return type, enter return reason.
Save
This creates new RMA order.....this way this should copy the original tax amount.
For the Charges part, check in the modifier definition whether "Include on Returns" is checked in the Discount/Charges TAB.
Thanks

Create and insert into temporary table

Dear all,
I want to create an temporary table and insert data from select statement and order data by field in that table, at the end i want to drop temporary table.
CURSOR rob_twin
IS
SELECT t.tarj, s.b24, date, status, fii, acnt, mbr, pviv, type
FROM
p6.tarj t
p6.stb24 s
p6.cuet c
WHERE .......
--now I want to create table and insert above data (from cursor rob_twin)
--after that I need to order data by t.tary from new table
--finally I want to drop this table
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Robert

The point is in Oracle you do not create the temporary table at run-time, use it, and drop it again.
But you can create a GTT (Global Temporary Table) once and then it stays in the data dictionary, just like a normal table. The "temporary" part is simply that the data is temporary, can only be seen in this one session, and will go away either on commit or when the session ends.
So first you create a global temporary table with the columns you wish. Using either ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS or ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS you decide whether data in this GTT should survive across transactions or not.
Your logic could then be to populate this GTT with data from your remote database using INSERT INTO gtt_table SELECT ... FROM ...@dblink
Then work with that data in the GTT as you would with any normal local table
And finally either you simply commit your transaction and the data in the GTT goes away (if you did ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS), or you just DELETE gtt_table.
You do not continually create and drop a GTT. The table definition is permanent - it is only the data that is temporary.
Edit:
PS: As Karthick stated above - for almost any usual purposes it is likely to be possible to solve the problem without having to use GTT's. Usually even with db_links it can be done with suitable SQL and joins without having to use a GTT. But if that turns out to be one of those rare occasions where that is hard - then the above is the way to go ;-)

PHP create array/variable for two dropdowns and insert into one column

Hello,
I have been trying for days to get this to work. Any help would be very appreciated.
The dropdown code:
<?php //Dropdowns for hours and minutes
$hour = array (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16);
$min = array (.00, .25, .50 ,.75);
echo '<span class="red">Hours :</span><select name="hour">';
foreach ($hour as $value1) {
echo "<option value=\"$value1\">$value1</option>\n";
echo '</select>';
echo '<span class="red">Quarter Hours :</span><select name="min"';
foreach ($min as $value2) {
echo "<option value=\"$value2\">$value2</option>\n";
echo '</select>';
//Dropdowns for hours and minutes
//Create variable to send to the time field using a hidden field
function input_time($value1, $value2) {
$time = count($value1 + $value2);
return $input_time;
?>
<input name="time" type="hidden" value="<?php echo "$input_time";?>" />
The Schema:
CREATE TABLE `ND_time_sheet` (
`time_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`day` varchar(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`date` varchar(8) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`project_id` varchar(8) DEFAULT NULL,
`non_bill` tinytext,
`staff_id` varchar(5) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`time` decimal(3,2) unsigned zerofill DEFAULT NULL,
`type` varchar(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
PRIMARY KEY (`time_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
Thanks!

This seems to be a different problem, so you should have started a new thread instead.
Can you show us your code, tell us what you are clicking, tell us what you get and what you expect to get instead. Thanks.

Is it possible to do this or do I have to cut and paste each track indivually? There are 27 so it would be pretty time consuming this way.
Thanks in advance.

no, split works across any number of tracks:

Is it possible to create a PDF with different colors for screen and printing?

I'm working on a document that features light colored text on a dark background. I'll be sending this document as a PDF to someone who will likely want to print it. Is it possible to set up the document such that it will display this way when viewed on screen, but will print as black text on a white background, without requiring any special action on the part of the recipient?
Printing a color separation of just the text color produces exactly the results I'm after, but I can't ask the recipient to do that. I need it to happen automatically any time it's printed.
I've tried setting up a duplicate text layer in black and placing it under the background layer, then setting the background layer and colored text to 'never print'. This works within Acrobat Pro, but not when I print the same document from Preview.
Is there an acrobat equivalent of a CSS print stylesheet?
Thanks.

Create the document in layers with the background on a seperate layer than the text. Export the PDF with"Create Acrobat Layers" selected (it will need to be at least version 1.5).
Open the PDF in Acrobat, choose the background layer then Options>Properties>Initial State and under "print" choose "Never prints".

Is it possible to create a script to produce a high res and low res pdf and jpeg from Indesign at the same time

Hi, I'm just wondering if there is a way to automate a long process I have to do to create assets for my job.
I have a single page InDesign 6 file which I have to output three ways:
A low res pdf without bleed or trims
A high res pdf with bleed and trims
A low res jpeg downsized to 2% of original size.
If anyone knows if this is possible I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks in advance

Automation requires creating your own IDML script for output. Scroll down on this page to the section on Scripting resources. The text is a bit confusing. It says InDesign CS5 Scripting resources, but then the paragraph for that section says the PDF files are for CS6. I haven't read through these, I just found them by searching for "indesign automation". It does say in part that is can be used for preparing files for printing, so once you figure it out, it should be a single click option to do all three steps.
You can do them now with the menus you have, assuming you also have Acrobat Pro installed. With any document open, choose File > Adobe PDF Presets, and choose either from the prebuilt defaults, or create your own in the Distiller. However, I don't see a way in the Distiller settings to choose whether or not to include bleed and marks, so I'm not really sure how you'd have them on for one and not the other. As far as JPEG output, that can be chosen under Export. You get a choice to set a resolution and JPEG quality level, but not a size, so the output will be the dimensions of the document.

Is it possible to create table variable by copying structure of existing table?

Greetings community,
It’s a newbie question.
I’m still learning T-SQL, and I’m not very familiar with its syntax, so I’m not sure if I’m asking something stupid. I’m creating a “stored function”. I need to create temporary table variable to do some “thinking” in it and spit out a
scalar result. Actually, I have to create about ten similar functions to process ten tables in similar way, so I was searching is it possible to speed it up.
I was wondering is there any way, instead of declaring table variable with list of gazillion columns (and having the possibility to mistype something), to declare table variable so it would inherit structure of existing table.
Thanks for any help.

Temp table variable can not be created on the fly, but temp table can be created.
If you want just the structure, you can use the below.
SELECT Top 0
INTO #temp
FROM
Sales.SalesOrderHeader

Is it possible to create a package that will install a program and then run a PS command?

Hi,
I need to deploy a language pack to my clients and then run a PS command to have the new language selected. Do I need to create a program for this? Is it possible to just run a PS command and prompt for a reboot? The command is
Set-WinUILanguageOverride en-US
Thank you

That works fine using the "Run another program first option". Alternatively, you can call all of your commands from a single batch file which is initiated in the program. Or you can have your PowerShell script call everything directly -- it is
a script after all. Or you can use the PowerShell Deployment Toolkit as suggestion by Jeff.
If you are simply calling a single PowerShell script, the command-line is the same that you would use anywhere:
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "English.ps1"
With the your Package containing English.ps1 of course.
