Is there a way to schedue scripts in Business Catalyst

Hi, My intentions are to create few recurring jobs that whould interact with the BC Apis (from within the BC website) . I have a requirement to run few of them on weekly basis and few on monthly basis as well. Is there a way in which BC would allow me to do that? Any pointers to this would be highly aappreciated. I am basically working with the CRM Apis and need to download some reports on weekly /monthly basis. I am also looking forward for a way to automate the running of these scripts/pages. Thanks

Okey.. I get that. Thanks for suggesting the alternate way to do this via the email campaigns. Could you give me some details about how the reports are configured in the backend? i.e. Does it gets saved as template or js file in the backend? Also do the rules for these custom reports get saved somewhere in the ftp location and is it possible to add any custom fields. I basically want to add some more details to my reports and may be change some details to these reports. Or is there some alternate way in which I can run some js / ajax (I understand that its not possible through apps) that would run and interact with the CRM api and simply uploads the details on my ftp which I can download at later point of time.

    I use Muse alot so I am familar enough with BC to understand some of its capabilities. I realize this may be a database but how could I simulate the same effect more or less in BC.

    Hi Russ,
    Looks like a repository/directory of some sort.  You can achieve this using Web Apps in BC.

  • Is there any way to install php on business catalyst?

    Hi,
    I think the suject question says it all
    Thanks
    Serge

    Nope. Business Catalyst differs from regular website hosting in that it's Software As A Service (SAAS) and you don't have access to server-side coding.  FYI- BC is an ASP.net application but you still can't create .aspx files on BC -- that's prohibited. In order to create a website on BC you have to use their built-in modules and associated tags to implement BC features.

  • Is there a way to create scripts to use tmconfig...

    Is there a way to create a script to execute tmconfig and change CLOPTS parameters
    for a particular server?
    Here is what I would like to accomplish. Want to set "-r" option to a limited
    number of servers, on an as needed basis. I do not want to bring down the environment
    and update the ubbconfig file. The support people are not familiar with tmconfig.
    So, I would like to create a script to turn the "-r" option on when needed and
    restart only those servers and then turn it off once the debufgging is done.
    Is there any command other than tmconfig, which I could use to accomplish this?

    If you've got perl on your machine, you can download the tuxedo perl module and
    write perl scripts to call tuxedo services. There's also a tuxedo::admin module
    at cpan now.

  • Is there a way to select matching pixels on 2 different layers?

    Hey there,
    I've been wondering about this a long time now and can't seem to figure it out. I hope u guys can help me crack this.
    If I shoot 2 different portraits (of 2 different people), against the same background (a complex one not a backdrop), using a locked frame on a tripod, giving me the same exact background in both pictures, with only the portraits changing.
    If I then take these 2 pictures, and create layers out of them in the same Photoshop document, and align them perfectly on top of each other.
    Is there a way (action, plugin, script, etc...) to select the pixels that did not change between the 2 layers? In other words, the pixels that create the background of both pictures?
    And would it make it easier if I shoot the background alone, and then the portraits, and then follow the same steps?
    I'm posting this, and crossing my fingers.
    Thanks,
    Pierre.

    Changing the blend mode of the upper layer to Difference, will show identical pixels as full black.  To make a selection, you'd need to produce a copy merged layer (Shift Ctrl Alt e) and you could select the full black pixels by simple a method as using the magic wand with a low tolerance value.  In fact a tolerance of '1' will select all the identical pixels, but tiny variations in lighting etc. may need a higher tolerance.
    Save the selection, turn off the copy merged layer, change the blend mode of the upper layer back to normal > And you are good to go.
    I am wondering how you intend using this though, and what sort of end result you are hoping for?  Give it a try and come back to us if it doesn't work out

  • Is there a way to export / extract a document's used data merge placeholders?

    Is there any way, by feature, scripting or XML trickery, to extract a list of the Data Merge placeholders that are actually used in an Indesign document?
    InDesign clearly has this data - it uses it in the Data Merge window to tell you which pages the listed placeholders appear on. Is there any way to get the list of used placeholders as a CSV, list, text file, etc etc?
    I'm looking for a way on a very complex Data Merge project to ease fixing errors and to ease paring the data sheets down to only the fields that are in use (out of hundreds).

    The problem really is that one person has InDesign and the other has Photoshop.
    The workflow is images from photoshop are placed in Photoshop.
    Not the layout from InDesign is placed in photoshop.
    That's how the software is designed to work.
    What people are saying is that Photoshop cannot work this way in dealing with layouts, it's a nightmare and will give you terrible results and cost you time and effort when updating things in Photoshop, it has all the makings of a Final Destination movie, particularly in the area of the later sequels.
    But let's not get hung up on those franchises.
    If the person needs to edit an Indesign file and can't afford the full cost of InDesign then there are other workarounds:
    1. If it's just text
    If all they are doing is updating text then you can use File>Export>Rich Text Format from a selection of text, this will make a Word version of the text that they can edit. You can then use File>Import and import the RTF that is edited.
    2. You can use InCopy
    This is a viable solution for editors that need to see the text in the Layout Format, but it hasn't got all the bells and whistles of InDesign, but it works in tangent with InDesign, it's not as pricey as InDesign and it also allows you to lock out editors from editing certain parts or moving things within the layout. And it can update your InDesign file on the fly.
    3. You can use Rorohikos Story Tweaker
    http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/2009/03/25/storytweakertextedits/
    There are workarounds that you can find for people that don't have InDesign. It's just that the Photoshop workflow isn't a viable solution in any sense.
    For example, I have my layouts proofed in PDF format, where the proofreader adds Comments to the PDF. It works for our workflow as I'm the one editing the only file in existence.
    But to go from InDesign to Photoshop is a complete  waste of time and effort on everyone's part. There is no need to go that route, there's no reason, there's no point.

  • Is there a way to run a script to create an RPD file from MDS XML files

    We would be interested in using the MDS XML format for the RPD file in saving it in our Subversion source code control system, and I have seen how to do this in the User documentation.
    Our question is whether or not there is a way to use a command line tool to recreate the rpd file without having to use the Admin tool, so that we can automate the deployment of the RPD file from source code control to QA and Production environments.
    If we check in the RPD file directly, then there is a way to automate the process, but we would prefer to use the MDS XML format since this allows us to save changes in text format, not binary, but we still need to be able to automate the process.
    In the Oracle Fusion Middleware XML Schema Reference for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition document, I have found that there is a way to automate the creation of the MDS XML files from an RPD file using this command:
    biserverxmlgen -M -R repository_pathname [-P password] -D output_directory [-8] [-N] [-Q|-S]
    So my question is basically is there a way to reverse this process, to use some command line tool (or Weblogic Scripting or some other mechanism) to create the RPD file from the MDS XML files? Are there options on the biserverxmlexec command that will do what I am asking?

    Hey dmfairley,
    Thanks for the question. You can absolutely export the project as .mp3, as outlined in this resource:
    GarageBand Help: Export songs to disk
    http://help.apple.com/garageband/mac/10.0/#gbnd7cbf5ed9
    Export songs to disk
    You can export a project to your computer as a stereo audio file.
    Exported files can be reused in GarageBand to save processing resources by replacing or bypassing multiple regions, instruments, and effects. They can also be used with other music applications and devices, posted on the Internet (on a webpage, or in the iTunes Store, for example), added to an iTunes playlist, or uploaded to a mobile device such as iPhone or iPad.
    1. Choose Share > Export Song to Disk.
    2. To rename the exported file, select the name in the Save As field, then enter a new name.
    3. Choose a location to save the exported file from the Where pop-up menu.
    4. Select the format for the exported file (AAC, MP3, or AIFF).
    5. Choose the quality setting for the exported file from the Quality pop-up menu.
    6. Click Export.
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to Automate or Script the Mail Merge Feature in iWorks?

    Hello,
    I've been trying to build a production management system slowly over the last few months, my boss is a bit of a technophobe so I've been trying as hard as i can to keep everything in familiar programs, at its core all the system has to do its take information in from Purchase Orders, this is added to a Numbers File, within that numbers file are our Open Order Book showing All orders and 2 "Merge Sheets" all new Orders are Added to the Merge Sheets then onto the Open Order Sheet, those "merge sheets" are then used as a data source for a Pages file "Job Card" (we have 2 job card files once blue one yellow but the process is the same)
    Up until now I've been manually merging each time we get a new order, but this happens a lot so what I've been trying to do is Automate the procedure.
    Ive created 2 Automator Apps  each runs the same sequence just for the two different Job cards as follows:
    Get finder Item "Job_Card_Blue/Yellow" > Open Finder Item > a "watch me do" of mail merge > Print > Close Application without saving
    The Problem is the Watch me do is a bit of a clunky work around, if I could make it work without the mouse moving over the screen it wouldn't be so bad, even if I could somehow give Mail Merge a Keyboard Short Cut it would also be better.
    So my questions, after a large ammount of waffling:
    1) is there a way i can "see" and then edit the "watch me do" Script?
    2) is there a simpler work around im not seeing?
    3) is there an existing script of program I can use? (obviously i know there is Filemaker etc, if it was up to me I'd use a Database, but the owner of company is adimant i use office or easy programs, becuase it needs to be a system i can leave to him once my contract is up)
    Any Help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Yes I've created an Automator Application that does the job, but the "watch me do" function that does the Mail Merge is a rather Clunkey work around, as the mouse moves all over the place, thats the part i want to remove and replace with a script, or work out a different way around it that avoids the "watch me do" function.
    Is this Possible? or where/who is there i can ask to write me a script, im not a novice to scripting, but i am a novice to Applescript.

  • Is there a way to launch an app and a set of actions on startup? (Like an automator-script for ipad)

    Hi all,
    Is there a way to have the ipad execute a series of tasks at startup? (like an automator-script)
    Thank you!

    Hi all,
    For all you who have been looking for a solution for the problem above, here it is :
    http://www.kioskproapp.com/
    The Kiosk Pro app allows you to run any html-scrip locally stored on the ipad!
    Which is great! Because not only does it allow for an infinite amount of possibilities next to the video-looping, it also keeps on working with one click after a reboot!
    The learning curve of usage is quite simple for the problem above, since they provide extensive information on the website and have great customer service.
    I am very very happy I found this app, and I really hope this post saves a lot of people the headaches I've suffered in the course of finding the solution.
    Enjoy!

  • Is there any way to determine if a link is a book mark or hyperlink in java script

    Is there any way to determine if a link is a book mark or hyperlink in java script
    Sub Problem:
    I am making an array of quads of all the hyperlinks in a document. I would like to automatically skip over all the bookmarks in the starting pages of a document and just get the links of the hyperlinks.
    Now I have to manually set the pages that contain bookmarks so they are not included in the array.
    Is there any way to determine if a link is a book mark or hyperlink in java script?
    It would help automate the conversion I need below
    John
    Main Problem:
    I have been working on converting a set of pdf files with 1000’s of hyperlinks like www.site.com\folder1\file1.pdf#page=10
    To jump to a local copy of the files with a relative type link
    ../folder1/file1.pdf and then go to the proper page.
    I have found that it can be done manually by changing the hyperlink to a javascript
    var otherDoc = app.openDoc('../folder1/file1.pdf', this);otherDoc.pageNum = 10 - 1;
    and setting each destination file with a disclose()=true;
    Based on the help so far that java script cannot access the hyperlink value in a link
    See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1039908?tstart=60
    I have resorted to the following plan using acrobat javascript, an external keyboard macro recorder and excel in combination to get around the problem
    Four folder level acrobat javascripts with “buttons”
    One to get all the link quads in an array, in the pdf and report the total number
    The second creates a form field in the far corner of the first page and moves there.
    The third jumps to each link found by creating a form field just to the left of the link and zooms in so it can be selected by a “mouse click” from the keyboard macro recorder 
    The forth deletes the form field
    The keyboard macro recorder runs javascript 2 and then 3 then clicks on the link just to the right of the middle of the screen and uses keys to get to the advanced editing to get to edit the hyperlink .
    The hyperlink is then copied to excel where it is converted using string functions to the needed javascript text to be copied back.
    To the acrobat file into a java script (after deleting the hyperlink)
    Rinse/lather/repeat
    I have been able to convert about 150 links an hour.
    Better then hand typing, but not like having java access to the links.
    I am looking to improve the solution

    thanks for your help.
    I may have been confusing a "acrobat bookmark" and a bookmark in a word file that is converted to a pdf and ends up being a
    link of the type:
    "Go to a page in this document"
    which I do not want in my array vs
    a link of the action type:
    "Open a web link"
    Which I do want
    John
    My code, note how I have to skip pages with "Go to a page in this document" links depending on the document, I would like to use the same code for each document and skip over the "Go to a page in this document" links :
    global.ilinkindex = 1; 
    global.aLinkquads = [ [0, 1, 1, 0, 0],
           [0, 0, 0, 0, 0] ];
    function GetLinkArray()
    global.ilinkindex = 1;
    var iTotalLinks=0;
    // for ( var p = 0; p < this.numPages - 8 ; p++)                   // end before bookmarks for each page of the file x.pdf
    //  for ( var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)                     // for each page of the file
    for ( var p = 23; p < this.numPages; p++)                     // start after bookmarks for each page of the file y.pdf
      var cropbox = this.getPageBox("Crop", p);
      var alinksonpage = this.getLinks(p, cropbox);            // get array of links on page
      for ( var ll = 0; ll < alinksonpage.length; ll++)
       var linkquads = alinksonpage[ll].rect;     // get link Quads
       linkquads[4] = p;          // add page number to link Quads array
        global.aLinkquads[global.ilinkindex] = linkquads; // add quads to global link Quads array
        global.ilinkindex++;
    iTotalLinks = global.aLinkquads.length - 1;
    global.ilinkindex = 1;
    app.alert("Number of Links in Document is " + iTotalLinks );

  • Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the command line?  I want to write a script to set up certain applications in certain workspaces (without having to do it manually each time)...

    Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the comnand line?  I use several workspaces from Spaces, each workspace having a certain number of fixed applications running.  Rather than set all this up each time I log on, I'd like to write a script from the command line (I use gawk) to automate this. Currently I have a gawk script that, given a directory, opens a few xterms whose working directory is the given directory, and opens "preview" applied to a certain file in that directory.  However, at present I have to manually move an xterm through each workspace and run my gawk script in each workspace (applied to each directory that I'm working on).
    There must be a better way...

    Addendum: Can this be done via:   open -a Spaces --args xxx  , where xxx is some set of arguments (or something like this)?

    There is no way to preserve view preferences.Just remember or annotate the zoom % used in the package.
    You may want to open an MS Connect item asking to add such a feature.
    I can tell you it may not be implemented because a package may be opened on different size monitors.

  • Is there any way to launch a script or to automatize a task outside photoshop?

    Hi,
    the title may not be precise, but i don't really know how to sum up my need in one sentence.
    One of my customer want to create a system to traduce easily his media, originally built with photoshop.
    Thus, he is searching a way to take a PSD file, extract the text content, make it traduced by a professional , then reintegrate it in the PSD.
    I know there is some script you can launch on photoshop to export/import text data, but is there any way i can do it outside photoshop, so we can automatize it from a web platform? (i.e uploading the PSD file on a platform, extracting automatically the text and make it available through a traduction form, then modifying the PSD file with traduced text)
    I heard that, in the past, Adobe was proposing "Altercast"  or graphics server offer to do so, but it seems that they are no more available.
    Thanks a lot, and sorry for my poor english :b

    There are a lot of tailor maid solutions for something like this, but not for Photoshop files I am afraid.
    Most of the systems are build for Indesign or Illustrator, but like I said in most of the cases it is not a out of the box solution and must be tailor maid. We have some solutions like that for some off our clients, and here are some tools we provide:

  • Is there any way that we can run script file Directly through RMAN.

    Hi Team,

    (database);
    release channel t1;
    I had used this script for backup operation on RMAN & its executing properly...as

    Plz comment...

    You can use cmdfile parameter to specify the script which contains the actual code and also you can specify log parameter for the log file. Here is an example:
    rman target / cmdfile=backup.ora log=backup.log
    And here are all the command line parameters which you can use with RMAN:
    Argument Value Description
    target quoted-string connect-string for target database
    catalog quoted-string connect-string for recovery catalog
    nocatalog none if specified, then no recovery catalog
    cmdfile quoted-string name of input command file
    log quoted-string name of output message log file
    trace quoted-string name of output debugging message log file
    append none if specified, log is opened in append mode
    debug optional-args activate debugging
    msgno none show RMAN-nnnn prefix for all messages
    send quoted-string send a command to the media manager
    pipe string building block for pipe names
    timeout integer number of seconds to wait for pipe input
    checksyntax none check the command file for syntax errors
