  • How to get the Folders and subfolders collection in Project Manager

    Hi,
    I am trying to get the folders and subfolders collection in Project Manager, so that I will be able to loop through the collection and be able to create a project under the appropriate folder.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Anything you do without submitting to form has to be done on the client side (ususally by JavaScript) using data which has been send already from the server.
    With JavaScript you can do quite a bit. You can download tables which don't necessarilly appear on the screen, loading them into JavaScript arrays by dynamically generating javascript. Then you can pick up events like drop-box selection and use these tables to chose what you do next (e.g. preloading other fields, setting drop box content etc.).
    Or, you can cause forms to be submitted when actions like a selection happen without the user clicking a button. It's generally a matter of how much data you'd need to transmit.
    Another posibility is to use a Java applet, which can generate requests to the server and handle the results as it chooses. That are a number of problems with that but occasionally it's the best solution.
    What you can't do is to handle user input inside a JSP. The JSP has come and gone before the user even gets to see your form.

  • Where is the folders for weblogic as BI server

    anyone can help me,pls.
    P6 R8:
    I have installed the report database(staging ,ODS and star),and finished BI server with weblogic.
    now what should i do if i want to see how the P6 works with reports. (in p6 web, I can see the reports menu )
    following the doc "P6AnalyticsSampleData.pdf", but I found I cann't find the folders in weblogic envirenment.
    To set Up the P6 Analytics sample dashboards, do the following:
    1) If OBI is currently running, do the following:
    a. Stop all services (Oracle BI Presentation Server, Oracle BI Java Host, and Oracle BI Server).
    b. Ensure that the OBI Presentation Server (OC4J_BI by default) is also stopped.
    2) Copy the p6analytics folder from the following location:
    <P6 Analytics download location>\P6 Analytics\obi\catalog
    To:
    *<OBI Data Installation location>\web\catalog*
    Where:
    The default <OBI Data Installation location> is c:\OracleBIData on Windows.
    3) Copy the OraclePrimaveraP6Analytics.rpd file from the following location:
    <P6 Analytics download location>\P6 Analytics\obi\rpd
    To:
    *<OBI Installation location>\server\Repository*
    Where:
    The default <OBI Installation location> is c:\OracleBI on Windows.
    4) Copy the s_oraclep6 and sk_oraclep6 folders from the following location:
    <P6 Analytics download location>\P6 Analytics\obi\skin
    To: The following two locations:
    *<OBI Installation location>\web\app\res*
    *<OBI Java Application Server installation Location>\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res folder*
    Where:
    The default <OBI Installation location> is c:\OracleBI on Windows.
    The default <OBI Java Application Server installation Location> is C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi
    5) Modify the instanceconfig.xml file located in *<OBI Data Installation location>\web\config.*
    Where:
    The default <OBI Data Installation location> is c:\OracleBIData on Windows.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    The reports for P6 R8 use BI Publisher. Once BI Publisher is installed and configured, then you can link P6 R8, via the P6 r8 Administrator to the BI Publisher server. You can consult the P6 EPPM Administrator guide, page 192, for details about setting up P6 Reports using BI Publisher.

  • I have my playlists in folders in itunes and suddenly I can't open the folders anymore?

    I organise all my playlists into folders on itunes on my laptop (windows) and today I can't open or close any of the folders to acces the playlists!!!!! Can anyone help?

    Since in iPhoto folders do not hold photos but hold other folders or albums there is a good chance of confusion here - are you speaking of albums or events?
    In general you select photos  by clicking on one and depressing the command key and clicking on additional photos --  or probably easier selecting oen photo and creating an album and then dragging additional photos to that album - once you have what you want to send collected open the album and select all and e-mail them

  • Can bookmarks be organized so the folders are listed first (above) the urls like they are in Internet Explorer?

    In Internet Explorer I nest web addresses (urls) inside folders in a folder tree. This is something Internet Explorer actually does quite well. It would really be helpful when you open a folder in the Firefox Bookmarks to see all the folders nested within it listed at the top before any urls that might also be in the folder. If anyone knows how to do this, I'd sure appreciate knowing. Thanks.

    The extension SortPlaces gives you many options on how to sort folder, the urls within folders, the urls not in folders, and the bookmarks toolbar items. I use SortPlaces for the almost 4,000 bookmarks that I have within and outside of many, many nested folders.

  • How to allow the application navigator to show the folders?

    Hi,
    I am currently doing an extension in Jdeveloper...
    How do i show the folders that is in a project? For example, the resources or application sources. i want the folders for eg. resources to appear when i created a new file..How should i do that?

    Hi,
    Provided you perform all file system operations via the oracle.ide.net.URLFileSystem API, the navigator will always update automatically. For example, if you're creating a new folder, you should do something like:
    URL url = URLFactory.newDirURL( parent, "somepath" );
    URLFileSystem.mkdirs( url );instead of calling the equivalent API in java.io.File. The reason for this is that the IDE cannot intercept calls to java.io.File. URLFileSystem, on the other hand, will fire events to tell the IDE to update itself.
    As far as automatically selecting new files in the navigator goes (and expanding their parents)... there's no direct easy way to do this in 10.1.3. I recommend using the URLFileSystem API as described above; in 11, as long as you use this API, new files you create will always be automatically selected in the navigator.
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • Java3d speed collapse caused by other java apps running at the same time

    Hi
    I am programming a flightsimulator for some months.
    The current state is online available (all free, no copyrights)
    at http://www.snowraver.org/efcn/efcnsim/index.htm
    especially the sample (source) which shows the
    behaviour which is the reason for my post is here
    http://www.snowraver.org/efcn/efcnsim/page2.htm
    My Problem:
    When I start the sim while two other java programs
    ( one is a server running localhost, one is a client )
    are running, the speed of the flightsim is very slow,
    one frame update takes 3 to 5 seconds.
    ( 3 java.exe's in task list plus 1 which is the IDE )
    When I start the flightsim ALONE, I have 30 to 40 frames per second.
    ( 2 java.exe's in the task list = the flightsim and the IDE -> no prob here )
    That means, the flightsim is about 100 times slower, when
    started while the other two apps are running.
    BUT the other two applications do almost ***NOTHING***, the
    CPU load is 1 or 2 percent.
    Of course they have threads running, but all are waiting
    for a signal - no thread really consumes CPU power.
    Interestingly, when I FIRST start the flightsim and AFTER THIS
    start the two other applications, the flightsim
    holds 30 frames per seconds without problems, even
    though the other applications consume some CPU power
    until they have completely started up.
    Configurations:
    JSDK 1.4.2_1 , 0_2..
    Java3D 1.3.1 OPENGL (The DirectX version crashes with D3D device lost)
    Win2000,XP CPU 800MHz upto 3 GHz
    In my point of view, the java3d thread scheduler makes
    some funny decisions when it starts up, which lead
    to the order dependent behaviour described above.
    My question is, if anyone has some ideas, how I could
    get away from this speed collapse.
    The problem is caused in native code I guess.
    I also could imagine, that it has to do something with
    the order in which one creates, attaches and starts
    the Canvas3D. (? could produce race conditions)
    The flightsim runs in full retained mode. Of course
    the CPU work in the behaviours is rather big, because
    the ROAM triangulation update (..) is done there
    and the triangles are recalculated and passed
    ( all BY_REFERENCE ).
    Or could it have to do something with the memory
    consumption ( when all runs, almost all of
    the 512MB RAM is taken by the three java.exe's ) ?
    Any hints or ideas ?

    :) No, Sun does handle it [lol]
    I just have tested it on my computer at work
    ( 3GHz HP compaq, 1GB Ram and a Intel 82865G Graphics
    Card with 64MB memory, Windows XP )
    and it has worked without problems any way I tried.
    ( Except for xclusive fullscreen mode, but I guess, the administrators
    have deactivated it somehow, so we don't play games at work :)
    I couldn't test it under Linux so far, but I think, this will be less
    problematic than Windows [usually].
    However my current assumption is:
    I totally have forgot the [limited] videocard memory.
    I suppose, Java3D tries to put all triangle data and all
    textures to the videocards memory, so most data processing
    then can be passed to it's graphiccard CPU using
    OpenGL commands.
    Now the flightsim produces a varying amount of (by_reference) triangle data ( a few thousands )
    and has some texture maps for the terrain, the sea and other things,
    plus indexed triangle data for the planes and ships.
    The notebook system, which slows down has an ATI Mobile Radeon card
    with only 32MB RAM onboard, whereas the others have 64MB Ram.
    An additional pointer to that theory is that I can trigger the slowdown by resizing
    the flightsim window, while it is running.
    On the notebook, it holds 30fps, until the window exceeds a size of 962*862 pixels.
    At this size the speed collapses and goes down to 1 frame update every 4 seconds.
    If I make the window a few pixels smaller, the speed of 30fps immediately
    is there again.
    Therefore I guess, some data passed to the graphic cards memory depends
    linearly from the canvas3d's window dimension, and at some limit,
    the graphiccard's memory is too small and Java3D changes it's strategy
    and performs most calculations on the computer's mainmemory,
    which of course is a lot slower.
    I'm not very sure about that, I'm just speculating.
    Next thing I will try is to disable directdraw for the other two applications,
    possibly swing also uses graphicscard memory, when directdraw is enabled.
    The solution seems to be clear anyway: The flightsim must examine the system
    and set some parameters depending on the machine's capabilities.
    Onboard videagraphic ram is one of them. If it's too slow, I start to decrease
    the window size and expect to see a sudden increase of speed, as soon as
    the rendering can be done by the graphicscard CPU. If this never happens,
    I assume no OpenGL accelerator is present on that system. This can be seen as a method
    for finding out the amount of videocard memory on a system by trial and error ..?:)
    Thanks for your tips, Alain.
    I especially have to check out the data sharing class in 1.5.

  • Using the Insert statement in a Java program without hardcoding the data

    hello.
    this is james mcfadden. i have developed a program called Demo.java, which is used with another program called QueryTableModel.java (a program that allows data to be viewed in a JTable). The Demo.java program displays a menu, connects to a database, allows the user to add data into the database and allows the user to view data that is already in the database. I have a problem with the Demo.java program. I have hardcoded the Insert statement in it. How do you use the Insert statement to put data into a database without hardcoding the data?

  • I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks on used Macbook Pro. When I log in to my Apple ID, it says it was not the same ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. I need to change user/admin as a lot of the folders and apps are in Chinese!

    I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks on used Macbook Pro. When I log in to my Apple ID, it says it was not the same ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. I need to change user/admin as a lot of the folders and apps are in Chinese!

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

  • Java API to read the Encrypted Values from Windows Registry settings

    Is there any Java API to read the Encrypted Values from Windows Registry settings ?
    My Java Application invokes a 3rd party Tool that writes the key/value to windows registry settings under : “HKLM\Software\<3rdparty>\dataValue”.
    This entry is in BINARY and encrypted with 3DES, using crypto API from Microsoft.
    3rd party software to encrypt the data stored in registry it
    either uses C++ code: and uses the call “CryptProtectData” and “CryptUnProtectData” or
    If it is a .NET (C#) it uses the call “Protect” or “UnProtect” from class “ProtectData” of WinCrypt.h from the library “Crypt32.lib.
    Note: The data is encrypted using auto-generated machinekey and there is no public key shared to decrypt the Encrypted data.
    Since the data is encrypted using auto-generated machinekey the same can be decrypted from a .Net / C++ application using CryptUnprotectData or UnProtect() API of WinCrypt.h from the library “Crypt32.lib.
    To know more about Auto-Generated MachineKey in Windows refer the links below
    http://aspnetresources.com/tools/machineKey
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998288.aspx
    I need to find a way in Java to find the equivalent API to decrypt (CryptUnprotectData) and Microsoft will automatically use the correct key.
    But i couldn't find any informato related to Java APIs to enrypt or decrypt data using auto-generated machinekey.
    Is there a way to read the encrypted data from Windows regsitry settings that is encrypted using the Auto-Generated Machine Key ?
    Kindly let me know if Java provides any such API or mechanism for this.

    If the symmetric key is "auto-generated" and is not being stored anywhere on the machine, it implies that the key is being regenerated based on known values on the machine. This is the same principle in generating 3DES keys using PBE (password-based-encryption). I would review the documentation on the C# side, figure out the algorithm or "seed" values being used by the algorithm, and then attempt to use the JCE to derive the 3DES key using PBE; you will need to provide the known values as parameters to the PBE key-generation function in JCE. Once derived, it can be used to decrypt the ciphertext from the Regiistry in exactly the same way as the CAPI/CNG framework.
    An alternate way for Java to use this key, is to write a JNI library that will call the native Windows code to do the decryption; then the Java program does not need to know details about the key.
    That said, there is a risk that if your code can derive the key based on known seeds, then so can an attacker. I don't know what your applicatiion is doing, but if this is anything related to compliance for some data-security regulation like PCI-DSS, then you will fail the audit (for being unable to prove you have adequate controls on the symmetric key) if a knowledgable QSA probes this design.

  • HT4796 I can't see where are the folders that I had in my old PC on my new Mac after the migration. Even when I see it on my Mac using the search box, it doesn't appear with the right order of my old PC. I need some help, please.

    I used the Migration utilitie from Lion and eventhough I know the folders are there (with a quick search I find images etc) the proper order is not displayed.

  • How can I delete a duplicate drive in the folders area?

    Not sure how I ended up with a shared network drive duplicated under the folders area of Lightroom 3.6.  Maybe it was a user error but now my network drive where I have 15,000 pictures appears twice in the folder area and it is constantly updating (since there are quite a few pictures).
    How can I delete the duplicated drive?  I have "removed" all the folders under the duplicated drive (and made it disappear) but the drive keeps coming back as the synchronization process will add all the folders that exist on that drive.
    The two drives with "Volume_1" in the name are actually one shared network drive (I only have one).
    I actually removed my network drive mapping (N:) to fix the problem but that did not even work; LR still found a duplicate name for the same network drive and started to synchronize (again). Help!!

    I found pretty good super users and a solution here:

  • How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?

    How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?
    All I need is ONE INBOX (like Windows Mail used to do) ...
    I can see in the 'Account' column of each message which email account it's using.
    Then, I either junk or read the message, followed by delete or file to one of my created folders.
    As it is, half my page is depth is taken up by 12 lines of Account names !!!

    That still leaves SIX lines of Account names down the side. All I want is ONE INBOX ... (I can see which account each message belongs to in the 'Account' column...)
