Linux desktop enviroments with different way of doing things?

I was just thinking that big DE:s like KDE or GNOME have basically same way of doing things. You have start button, quicklaunch icons, taskbar, clock etc in same panel, Control Pan.. err Control Center, Same OK Cancel dialogs etc. These things remind me a lot about way things are done in Windows. Buttons may look different and be in different place but logic is all the same. I read this article about Microsoft being mad to Linux desktop systems about copying Windows interface: http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/ … on-missing
OK The Inquirer isn't the most reliable news service but I think this article has some points. It also mentioned some DE:s that arent copied from any MS operating systems are WindowMaker (originating from NextSTEP?) and ROX. Well ROX isn't even fully capable to function as a DE and it needs something like sawfish to work properly I think. Then there are these console extensions like RatPoison and minimalistic environments like openbox, fluxbox, [somethingelse]box and FVWM but Im not that console junkie.
Ive been lately messing with WindowMaker and ROX and found that ROX is a bit weird but it has a couple of funky ideas like putting minized windows on desktop but panel is quite crappy IMO. Even tough its quite usable with openbox. WindowMaker is more usable to me, I kinda like it.
Is there more DE:s with original desing to mess with?

ROX is a full desktop. It's got a window manager (Oroborox, iirc), panels, and everything. Of course, there aren't so many ROX apps, so you can't run a pure ROX desktop and get anything done. Its best idea, IME, is drag and drop saving and the elimination of mini-filers (open/save dialogs). It's a shame that there aren't more apps that support DnD save though. I think that's something that every program would do well to implement.
Ratpoison isn't a console extension, BTW. It's a tiling window manager like any other. Other tiling WMs you might like to look at are wmii, dwm, and Xmonad.
You should check out the Rio window manager in the plan9port package. It's pretty clever. On an actual Plan 9 system you run programs by creating a new window (new windows always contain rc, Plan 9's shell), then running a program in it. If it's a GUI program it takes over the window from the shell, keeping the same dimensions and everything. Very cool.
I didn't notice Oroborox. Does it come with rox package in extra? I messed some more with ROX and it has some widgets but those have to be installed trough some zeroconfiguration tool and I dont like it.
GAH the curse of mouse is touching my right hand again. Caused probably my daily job involving lots of MS. Thats why I'm looking for alternative dimension to escape nightly

Just downloaded the new OS for IPhone. Despise the appearance. It has jacked with the way I like things in some unacceptable ways. Is there any way to keep the OS, but return to the old appearance? Important to know BEFORE I download OS for computer.

I know I am responding to my own thread, but I an SOOOO disgusted with Apple right now.
The new iOS 7 was the lead story on CNN today... and it wasn't positive. Easy to see why, it's a graphics disaster. It is ugly, difficult to read, doesn't interface aesthetically with the iPhone 4S, and gives everyone in America vertigo. Either fix the appearance, or find some way to allow us to roll back to our previous iOS. Do so quickly, or this life-long Apple customer [circa 1978] will be moving on. If this represents shades of what is coming with OS Maverick, I am petrified. Further, I am a GM of a chain of newspapers and websites in the Austin, Texas area. I will be ripping out a scathing editorial. The notion that we can't roll back from something millions of us hate is despicable. I'm giving you one week. Be sure I am not alone.

I don't want to write too much code is there a different way of doing this

I am writing a precedure to check on the max test scores for different codes ('S01','S02'.S03') --there are more
then I need to insert the table if the record with the best score does not exists for example for b.sortest_tesc_code = 'BSV', I am writing a cursor
for each code (.sortest_tesc_code = 'S01') is there a way to do this different? so I cant do something like a.sortest_tesc_code in ('S01','S02'.S03') and store in a
variable then insert, the problem is that you can have a student that have only one test other that have two etc..etc.. is not consistent, also If the b.sortest_tesc_code = 'BSV') is already in the table I don't do an insert I will have to do an update if the sortest_test_score is greater since the student can submit scores more than once... In another words check if the record exists( b.sortest_tesc_code = 'BSV') if is there compare with the new max score and if the new max score is greater then update.. If the score (by code) is not in the table insert
Hope this is clear, this is what I have, I now it will work but it will be too much code..check for exists and not exists in two different precedures..
Thank you

Thank you, here is the code, I change the name of the tables, but it is the same concept.what I need is to extract the max score for each code (s01,s02,s03,s04)
then insert a record with a different code in the same table
BSM     Best Math SAT (S01)
BSW     Best writing SAT (S04)
BSC     Best READING SAT (S03)
BSE     Best READING SAT (S02)
I need to be able to check if the BS codes are already in the table (BSM...BSC..) IF they are not do an insert and if they are do an update get the maximun score
again (the students can submit more than one score form the same code and any date) and if the maximun is different(greater) of what is already in the database (with the BSM...BSC.. codes) do an update, IF NOT if is the same or less don't update...
I need the PERSON table because I need to use the ID as a parameter they (user) can run the process for one ID or all the records in the table TEST

ZBF Class-map and different way of doing them

Hi People just though i would ask a question on how to set up a ZBF. (question at the end of example config's)
i have been playing with this for a while now and like to get advice over what way is the recomended way of doing multiple matchs
ok we we all know the basic
class-map type inspect match-any ZBF_CM_ICMP
match protocol icmp
policy-map type inspect ZBF_PM_EXTERNAL->DMZ
class type inspect ZBF_CM_ICMP
inspect
and then the ZP dont need to show, this is a simple map using nbar fair enough
then we could a mulitiple matches
class-map type inspect match-any ZBF_CM_STD_DMZ_PORTS
match protocol icmp
match protocol http
match protocol dns
match protocol https
policy-map type inspect ZBF_PM_DMZ->EXTERNAL
class type inspect ZBF_CM_STD_DMZ_PORTS
inspect
Ok still easy to understand but now come the bit that a little more copmplex non NBAR matches
ip access-list extended AL_RDP_PORT
permit tcp any any eq 3389
class-map type inspect match-all ZBF_CM_RDP
match access-group name AL_RDP_PORT
policy-map type inspect ZBF_PM_EXTERNAL->DMZ
class type inspect ZBF_CM_RDP
inspect
This config is now using an access list because NBAR dosent have the protocol in it then map the AL to the CM then CM to PM. next is example is what i setup to get more non NBAR ports and only for 1 host
ip access-list extended AL_HOST_IP_IN
permit ip any host 11.11.11.11
ip access-list extended AL_ISATAP
permit 41 any any
ip access-list extended AL_TEREDO
permit udp any any eq 3544
class-map type inspect match-ANY ZBF_CM_DirectAccess_Protocols
description Nested Class Map
match access-group name AL_ISATAP
match access-group name AL_TEREDO
match protocol https
class-map type inspect match-ALL ZBF_CM_APP_IN
match access-group name AL_HOST_IP_IN
match access-group name ZBF_CM_DirectAccess_Protocols
policy-map type inspect ZBF_PM_EXTERNAL->DMZ
class type inspect ZBF_CM_APP_IN
inspect (or pass with rule for other direction)
THis is what i setup and it works not for this example but the rule flow i then was having issues with DMVPN and ZBF (turned out to be an iso bug annoying me) but i used CiscoCP to setup the ZBF automaticly forthe DMVPN and it ZBF rule where same proceduare as below.
ip access-list extended AL_HOST_IP_IN
permit ip any host 11.11.11.11
ip access-list extended AL_ISATAP
permit 41 any any
ip access-list extended AL_TEREDO
permit udp any any eq 3544
class-map type inspect match-ANY CM_ISATAP
match access-group name AL_ISATAP
class-map type inspect match-ANY CM_TEREDO
match access-group name AL_TEREDO
class-map type inspect match-ANY ZBF_CM_DirectAccess_Protocols
description Nested Class Map
match class-map CM_ISATAP
match class-map CM_TEREDO
match protocol https
class-map type inspect match-ALL ZBF_CM_APP_IN
match access-group name AL_HOST_IP_IN
match access-group name ZBF_CM_DirectAccess_Protocols
policy-map type inspect ZBF_PM_EXTERNAL->DMZ
class type inspect ZBF_CM_APP_IN
inspect
So what Cisco CP did was make yet another level of nesting rather then the match-all class map having the match access list command then made a cm with access list then the main class map had only other match class maps in it..
QUESTION:
Why did CiscoCP do the extra nesting
both ways worked but i would like to know why the cisco CP did the same thing with the other layer of CM did it do this for best practise or dose this make changed later easier i cant understand whats the advange to doing it this way... but if there is a valid reason then ill great jjust trying to understand.
thanks

When people say "use as few classes as possible", it's usually related not to optimize heap usage, but jar size.
But it's true that some smart use of OOP can save a lot of memory during runtime (and even jar size in some cases). Using an interface in my GUI library helps make the architecture a lot simpler and more compact, to the point that even if all the GUI widgets are being used (so the "just loading the code you need at the moment" argument is moot) memory use is still smaller because I need a lot less hacks to glue everything together.
It still is worth noting that often memory fragmentation is the true cause of running-out-of-memory-errors, and in this case loading many small classes will achieve exactly the opposite.

We have several i componets with different users how does that work with the mac

we only have one computer, so how does the cloud keep them seperate or does everyone know what everyoe is doing ?

By different Apple IDs for data. For device it's the device names you've given them.

Run package with different user - SUSER does not work in DM Package

Hi,
we need to be able to start a DM package for which the username needs to be changed from your own to a fixed username ...
So in the BPC DM package we enter a fix value for variable SUSER (instead of %USER). However the DM package is still being executed with the user launicn the DM package ... We can see this for example the SQE BADI .. In the DM log the fixed username is being mentioned but it is being executed with your own username ...
The reason why we have this requirement, is to bypass the lacking functionality of a decent security model and to allow a certain (automated) data posting by means of a seperate DM package ...The user only has access to one specific profit center. However for one specific data posting, it needs to be able to have access to all profit centers. We want to achieve this by letting him execute a certain DM package with a fix user, having all the necessary security rights ...
Apperantly the parameter SUSER in the task prompt has no relevance ...

Hi,
I came up with a different solution to this in the end.
You need to set WRITE = OFF in your script logic and handle the write back in your code - see below.
The following steps need to happen after you've completed all of your data manipulation in the BAdI and you are ready to do the write back.
Set Up
Step 1: Set up the impersonation 'domain\name' in BPC Administration -> Set Application Parameters
BAdI code
Step 2: Retrieve this parameter in the BAdI using method GET_PARAM_VALUE of class CL_UJA_APPLICATION
Step 3: Call cl_uj_context=>get_cur_context to get the current context
Step 4: Replace the user id in the context with the value retrieved in Step 2
Step 5: Call cl_uj_context=>set_cur_context to set the context with the new user id
Step 6: Call method write_back_int of cl_ujr_write_back to do the write back
Step 7: Reset the context back to the original user
Here is the code we used - it refers to some internal parameters and variables we have created here so can't be lifted 'as is' but should give sufficent information to replicate this functionality:
****Step 1: Get the application parameter*
TRY.
    create object lo_application exporting i_appset_id       = i_appset_id
                                           i_application_id = i_appl_id .
    lo_application->GET_PARAM_VALUE( EXPORTING I_PARAM_NAME = i_param_name
                                     RECEIVING R_VALUE      = e_param_value ).
    CATCH CX_UJA_ADMIN_ERROR .
*   RAISE ERROR HERE
      exit.
ENDTRY.
****Step 2: Change the user**
* Grab Current Context
lo_context = cl_uj_context=>get_cur_context( ).
ls_user = lo_context->ds_user.
ls_original_user = ls_user.
concatenate l_impersonate_domain '\' l_impersonate_name into ls_user-user_id.
try.
*     Change user so that the data can be written back
      call method cl_uj_context=>set_cur_context
        EXPORTING
          i_appset_id   = i_appset_id
          is_user       = ls_user
          i_appl_id     = i_appl_id
          i_module_name = lo_context->d_calling_module.
    catch cx_uj_obj_not_found.
*   RAISE ERROR HERE
       exit.
endtry.
****Step 3: Perform the write back*
create data lo_error like it_data.
assign lo_error->* to <fs_t_error_records>.
ls_work_status-module_id = cl_ujk_model=>g_module_id.
try.
      create object lo_write_back.
      call method lo_write_back->write_back_int
        EXPORTING
          is_work_status     = ls_work_status
          i_default_logic    = abap_false
          i_update_audit     = abap_true
          i_duplicate        = abap_true
          i_mdata_check      = abap_true
          i_sign_trans       = ' '
          it_array           = it_data
          i_measures_formula = ' '
        IMPORTING
          et_message         = lt_message
          es_status_records = l_status
          et_error_records   = <fs_t_error_records>.
    catch cx_ujr_write_back cx_uj_db_error cx_uja_admin_error cx_uj_static_check into lo_exp.
*   RAISE ERROR HERE
    exit.
endtry.
if l_status-nr_fail > 0.
*   RAISE ERROR HERE
    exit.
endif.
**** Step 4: Change the context back to original*
try.
      call method cl_uj_context=>set_cur_context
        EXPORTING
          i_appset_id   = i_appset_id
          is_user       = ls_original_user
          i_appl_id     = i_appl_id
          i_module_name = lo_context->d_calling_module.
    catch cx_uj_obj_not_found.
*   RAISE ERROR HERE
      exit.
endtry.

Apple Remote desktop connection with different internet network

I did purchase "Apple Remote Desktop"in mac app store, it works well in the same wifi's network but when i try to use different network, but i won't connect.
It said " Please make sure Screen Sharing in the System preference", but it won't works as well.
Please help
Mac OS: 10.9.1
Apple Remote Desktop: 3.7.1

The first thing I'd suggest is that you talk to your network support group and make sure that the necessary IP ports, primarly 3283 and 5900, are open between the two networks. If those are blocked, ARD can't connect.
Hope that helps.

Generic Extractors with different ways

Hi guys,
When we are creating Generic Extractors, we have 4 options:
1.     Using Table/Views
2.     InfoSet Query
3.     Function Module
4.     Value Domain Field ( Only for Text Extractor)
I would like to know, when we will use these options particular cases with real time examples?
Awaiting for your valuable help.
Best Regards,
Kishan

we can greate generic datasources for customer defined tables as well as when we need to extract data from the existing r/3 tables.
when the client wants his own table to be build and he wants to extract data from that table go for generic.
when we need to extract data from r/3 table ex. purchase requistions are stored in eban table if you want that data in bw create a generic datasource based on table and extract data.
If you want to extract data from two or more r/3 tables then go for view.
infoset is a semantic view of data source and it is not a physical data target. infoset is a view but allows outer joins between tables. in that scenario go for infoset.
when some function modules are retrieving data in r/3 then u can use those function modules to retreive data in BW.

A bug and some suggestions to return to old ways of doing things in ical

hi there when i first started using ical i could double click an event to edit it and press enter when finished
now i have to press apple E and click done when finished - with hundreds of events its painful
any ideas apart from someone at apple making it how it used to be which would be cool
also a bug if i set a calender to an event and another calender to another event and cut both events selected together at the same time when i paste the events they are both now in the same calender
which means if i have 40 events in one day in 30 different calenders I have to move them forward in my diary one by one also very painful
finally a cool suggestion to ical why not have a feature which collected all old events from a particular calender and stuck them all in the current day! cool or what

Different ways to setup applets... what's best?

Alright. I need some help deciding how to setup an applet. I'm a high school student and I'm going to be in a competition on Saturday that will be using Java applets. I've been trying to get my hands on as much info about it as I can, but I've seen so many different ways of displaying things on an applet that I'm not sure what to do anymore.
So here's the deal. In a book I have, they set up applets like this:
import javax.swing.*;
public class Example extends JApplet
   public void init()
      getContentPane().add(new ExamplePanel ());
      set size (300, 300)
}And the other class:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ExamplePanel extends JPanel
   private vars
   public ExamplePanel ()
      set up listeners and set background
   public void paintComponent (Graphics page)
      super.paintComponent (page);
      paint stuff
   event methods
}I'm pretty sure this works fine, but while on the Java website, looking for examples, I noticed that sun sets up applets like this:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class Example extends JPanel implements listener interfaces
   protected and private vars
   public Example ()
      set up panels, labels, basically any JComponent stuff
      create listeners
      use add(...) to put stuff on applet
   event methods
   private static void createAndShowGUI()
        JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Example");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JComponent newContentPane = new Example();
        newContentPane.setOpaque (true);
        frame.setContentPane (newContentPane);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main()
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
            public void run()
                createAndShowGUI();
}I don't know which way is better, but we don't have much time so I need something that's easy. The problem with the second one is that I don't know how to draw shapes on the second one and I might need to do that. I tried using paintComponent in it and things just got screwy. If anyone knows of a better way, please let me know. And since that one was developed directly from Sun, I'm guessing it's more efficient, so I would like to use that one if I can just learn how to use it as easily as the first.
Also, if anyone knows a completely different way to do this that's better, please let me know.

The second Example class shows an important issue: swing is not thread safe, and thus all GUI operations, including creating the GUI itself, must be done in the event dispatch thread. Read more about it at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/threads.html#EDT.
The second class Example does also not seem to be an applet, that is why main() is used instead of init(). But even in init() you are not guaranteed that the current thread is the EDT - it is choosen by the browser you are using - and you should thus use invokeLater() there as well.
Appart from that, a component should not care if it is displayed in an applet or in an application.

Managing multiple libraries with different file types (AAC v. Lossless)

I have set up two libraries, one for my AAC music and the other for my lossless music. The files themselves are located in two separate places on my hard drive. When I switch libraries (option-clicking iTunes), and go to Preferences/Advanced tab, the directory for the files and the import method doesn't change -- I have to change it manually. This is annoying.
Does anyone know of a way to automate this change, so that if I open a new library, the default location of the files and the import format changes automatically? I tried ituneslibrarymanager from Dougscripts, but for some reason can't get this program to install on my machine.

No, it's the same Windows XP user account, but I have two separate music libraries - the music files in library are in a lossless format, while those in the other are in AAC. For convenience, I wish to keep the two libraries separate.
In iTunes 7 it is possible to have separate libraries - start iTunes and hold down the SHIFT key (Windows) while the program starts. A dialogue box then appears where the required library can be selected. However, as far as I can tell, it's not possible to have a different set of preferences for each library.
Say the preferences are set up for my lossless library, which is located on a separate network drive. If I then make the AAC library active and open iTunes, iTunes reindexes the library according to the settings for the lossless library and I end up with the AAC library full of lossless files. I've tried unchecking various things in the preferences box, but I've had no luck fixing the problem. Thanks for your suggestion - I have already reported the problem.
The whole thing is a rather inelegant way of managing multiple libraries in iTunes. Surely the Apple developers can come up with a way of doing it from within iTunes??

Please help!!! Need another way of doing this!!

Hello i was wondering if someone could help me with this. I am sure there could be a different way of doing this. Maybe setting up an arraylist or an array and searching through it until the selected item in the combo Box is equal to the item in the array
list??
//MY CODE
private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Toyota")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Ford")
{ string file = "txtFiles/fordModels.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Hyundai")
{ string file = "txtFiles/hyundaiModels.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Chevrolet")
{ string file = "txtFiles/chevroletModels.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Honda")
{ string file = "txtFiles/hondaModels.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Dodge")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Ram")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Nissan")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Kia")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Mazda")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "GMC")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Volkswagen")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Jeep")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Subaru")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Mercedes-Benz")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "BMW")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Chrysler")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Mitsubishi")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Audi")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Acura")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Lexus")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Buick")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Infinity")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Cadillac")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
else if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Fiat")
{ string file = "txtFiles/toyotaModel.txt"; string send = rModelInfo(file); }
And this si where i am using the "File" variable
// Opens Models file depending on The "Get" string. Also Storing the Stored txt data into Array list
StreamReader objReaderFour = new StreamReader(get);
string sLineFour = "";
ArrayList Models= new ArrayList();
while (sLineFour != null)
sLineFour = objReaderFour.ReadLine();
if (sLineFour != null)
Models.Add(sLineFour);
objReaderFour.Close();
// converting arraylist into array
String[] hhModels = (String[])Models.ToArray(typeof(string));
comboBox2.Items.AddRange(hhModels);

Personally I like this one the most.

Putaway Strategy I, not allowing second material with different batch

Hi all,
Can someone please help me to understand where is the problem
My config is
Strg Typ 401
Putaway Strategy I
Capacity check - 4
Mixed storage: X
Addition to existing stock: X
Storage section check -active
Storage bin created for the storage section in the storage type 401
Maximum capacity maintained in Storage bin
In material master WM view 1- maintained capacity.
When system is correctly finding Bin for First material / Batch combination
But when I am trying to create TO for same material with different batch it does not find storage bin - even the storage bin capacity is still remaining
Also it is not accepting second material in same bin.
The only requirement to have startegy I is that same materials can be placed in same Bins (sorry but dont need fixed bin)
Thanks

Hi Hiren,
You are correct I forgot to mention that in my earlier reply. Actually with out storage unit you can store only one quant in a Bin. So it can add stock to the same quant if we use addition to existing sock feature. If the material batch combination changes it cannot use the same quant, so it wont be able to add the stock to existing quant. If a new quant is to be stored in the same BIN it has to be storage unit managed. To in nutshell multi material multi batch your scenario can be achieved with storage unit managed storage type.
For storage unit setup you can refer below link.
Storage Unit Management - Warehouse Management System (WMS) - SAP Library
If you find this useful please close the tread.

Our organization uses an Oracle database hosted on a Unix platform and one of our data processing outputs is a “stuffer” document that has a barcode, and Unix jobs automatically send the document to a printer.
Is there a way, or does Adobe have a product or solution, to create a PDF version of the document including the barcode, before it’s sent to a printer?

What format is the document that is printed? Or what technology is used to format the printer? There isn't a standard way of doing things in Unix.

Create a folder on the desktop and share with everyone if it does not exist on a Windows 7 PC - No Domain

I have a script that needs to be modified to create a folder on the desktop and share with everyone if it does not exist on a Windows 7 PC - No Domain. Here is the script, need help at bottom
=======================================================
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objComputer=objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ComputerName%")
IF Right(objComputer,3) = "000" Then
Else
strShortcut = objShell.SpecialFolders( "Desktop" ) & "\%username% Share.lnk"
strShortcut = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(strShortcut)
Set objLink = objShell.CreateShortcut( strShortcut )
objComputer=objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ComputerName%")
objServer=Left(objComputer,7) & "-000"
objLink.Description = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%username% Share")
objLink.TargetPath = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("\\" & objServer & "\Users\%username%\Desktop\%username% Share")
objLink.Save
End If
=======================================================
if "C:\Users\%username%\desktop\%username% Share" exits do nothing
if not create the folder and share it with everyone read only
======================================================
The section directly above is what I need to add, anyone have a clue how to make this work?

Bill: Can you suggest a site? I am in the weeds here trying to get this done yesterday. I have been reading code and trying to figure this out since yesterday morning. I have to roll out this image to 2 dozen machines and
this is holding us back. Any idea which site I can post to for help?
The bigger issue is that you have been given the answer to this in many different forms and, because you have no technical background, you fail to see what is being shown to you. That is why I have repeatedly suggested that you hire a consultant.
The link to the learning material is at the top o this page. You can also search the web for Windows consultants.
In the learning link you can also look up how to manage files. If, in the beginning you had chosen to use the learning materials you might not be in this bind.
Look up and research the FileSystemObject.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
