Lion - how get up to date.

I am still using Snow Leopard but have put Lion on a SuperDuper bootable clone on external drive (Lion has this whole drive to itself). I have just got it up to 10.7.3. The point is, the clone is getting more and more out of date and I am wondering what the best way is to get it up to date at some point? I have saved the Lion install file, so do not need to download again. Is this the way to do it - erase the Lion drive, put new SuperDuper clone (10.6.8) on it, install Lion on that, then get Lion up to date 10.7.3 or 10.7.4, whatever? Just wondered what the most elegant solution is. Thanks.

Something is getting lost in the details here....
When I say side by side, I mean two partitions.. both of them on an internal disk not with an external and internal disk.
Whne you ask "files on the Lion side are four months old", do you mean system files or applicaiton libraries like iTunes and your own peronal files?  If you mean Lion system files you just need to install the 10.7.3 Combo update.
The easiest thing is to upgrade your old Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.3 , then sync with your backup.

    The Reset feature adds a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. I recommend hanging onto that for a few weeks in case you discover something essential that the Reset feature left behind.

    Just upgraded to Lion, how can I use my microsoft office especially excel.  I'm getting messages that it's no longer supported.  This is a BIG problem.  Help, please.

    Apple has made a serious error not advising people when the Lion upgrade occurs that their present software may/will not be compatible and advise the user of such before and allow a opt out.
    All you can do (besides upgrading all your software) is backup your data off the machine (not to TimeMachine) and disconnect all drives.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and erase your makers hard drive on the far left, (that's the entire drive of everything)
    Partition tab: Option: GUID, format OS X extended and click apply so you get a new GUID (replacing the Lion one or trouble occurs later)
    Quit and install 10.6, then go through setup and use the same name as before, then update to 10.6.8
    Then c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility to Repair the disk the 10.6.8 update messed up.
    Then install all your programs again from fresh sources and lastly your user files in the same main user folders as before (music, pictures, documents etc.)
    Done as described will get you back just like it was before as close as possible, make SURE to use the same username or else your iTunes and other files get all messed up. Password and drive name can be different though if you wish.
    Note: if you've upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6, then you don't get the free iLife as it's not on the 10.6.3 white disks, only on the disks that came with your machine. So that will have to be purchased and reinstalled or use Pacifist to extract it from the 10.5 disks.
    This handy site can advise you what software doesn't work with the Lion.

  • How do I use Display Dialog to get back a date?

    Can anyone tell me how to use Display Dialog to get back a date?
    I am using the following code that does not work. It does not accept anything.  And I have searched high and low for an answer to my question and found nothing.
    repeat
           display dialog "When should I remind you (date)?" default answer ""
           try
                 if the text returned of the result is not "" then
                        set the requested_text to the date returned of the result as date
                        exit repeat
                end if
           on error
               beep
    end try
    endrepeat
    display dialog requested_text
    The code is based on what I found in AppleScript 1-2-3 (page 300). It shows examples for getting text and numbers but not one for dates.
    For what it is worth, my goal is to create a script that will convert an email from Evernote into an iCal Reminder. To do so, I want to ask the user (myself) for the reminder's date and time. I am assuming I need to ask for each separately. I also assume that once I get the date and time for the reminder, it should be relatively straightforward to 'make' a 'todo' with an alarm.
    Thanks in advance.
    -David

    Hi David,
    Try this:
    repeat
        set theCurrentDate to current date
        display dialog "When should I remind you (date)?" default answer (date string of theCurrentDate & space & time string of theCurrentDate)
        set theText to text returned of result
        try
            if theText is not "" then
                set theDate to date theText -- a date object
                exit repeat
            end if
        on error
            beep
        end try
    end repeat
    display dialog (date string of theDate & space & time string of theDate)

  • How can i get the meta data from database?

    Hi, all java and db experts,
    I need to write a tool to generate java file which will be used to hold the resultset of a stored procedure of Oracle. Is there any API call or tools to connect to db and then get the meta data of the return cursor instead of reading stored procedure definition on my own?
    Please help, thanks a lot.
    Hanna

    if i execute a Oracle stored procedure, the resultset of a cursor is returned. It's easy to know the meta data at the runtime.
    However, could i get the meta data about the resultset of a cursor before runtime? Such as by connecting to the database and ask it about meta data of a specified stored procedure?
    Is it feasible?
    DatabaseMetaData dbmd = conn.getMetaData();
    ResultSet rs = dbmd.getProcedureColumns("", "%", "SP_NAME", "%");
    while (rs.next()) {
    String colName = rs.getString(4);
    int colType = rs.getInt(5);
    int colDataType = rs.getInt(6);
    int colPrecision = rs.getInt(8);
    int colLen = rs.getInt(9);
    int colScale = rs.getInt(10);
    long defaultValue = rs.getLong(11);
    But what i get is a list of stored procedure parameters. In oracle, cursor is IN OUT parameter . How can i get the meta data about the resultset of cursor?

    Naveen,
        Are yo having issue when you save something in the layout, the data doesn't appear in the listcube ? Or do you have issue that the latest data you see in the cube doesn't appear in the layout ?
    For the former issue, please look at your selections of listcube and for the second issue, please check your planning level definition, make sure all the restrictions you have applied are valid for this latest data to be presented in the layout.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • How to get  the actual data in ALV report

    I am doing some upgradation work   in that i am using Submit  & And return and  also i am using some function modules like LIST FROM MEMORY , LIST TO TXT wnd WRITE LIST , it gives output in normal list format , But i need to print in ALV report .
    With the use of set table for 1st display i got the  ALV report   but not with actual data, (some junk value is showing) , So can any 1 suggest me how to get  the  actual data in ALV report, With the use of  Any Function Module or with Coding,
    with regards,

    Hi Saravana
    I am sure you must be getting the values in tables of table parameters from every FM.
    consolidate the values from tables of all FMs in one table and built ALV for that table only.
    I hope this way you can show the actual data in ALV.

  • How to get the Delivery date in PO line Item in SAPScript

    Hi Gurus,
    I am working on PO Script (MEDRUCK). I copied the Standard to a Z form. ZMM_MEDRUCK, Now I need to print the the Header text at the end of MAIN window.  I put Iem number along with the other line Item informmation like stanadrd PO Script MEDRUCK. I also want to show the delivey date with line Item, so Itried to use EKET-EINDT but it is returning the delivery date of last line item, means while printing the first line and other information it is showing the delivery date of the last line item, I tried with the  PEKPO-EINDT it is also not working.
    Can any body suggest me how i can get the delivery date for the respective line Item  ?
    Regards
    Sony

    actually your are picking up the correct data from Table EKET (EKET-EINDT) but your are printing that in item data loop for EKET might have already executed in your script and the header of that internal table consist the last entry of the table so for that. Fetch the delivery date explicite from the Table EKET when your in item level processing and print that.
    For Example u can use this code.
    To print you have write the this code in Script item level printing window "MAIN" window
    Following perform is called to get the line item delivery date in PO
    {/: PERFORM GET_DEL_DATE IN PROGRAM ZPerform_prog
    /: USING &EKPO-EBELN&
    /: USING &EKPO-EBELP&
    /: CHANGING &DEL_DATE&
    /: ENDPERFORM}
    {* Dellivery date &DEL_DATE& }
    write the below code in the Z program "ZPerform_prog"
    { FORM get_del_date  TABLES in_par STRUCTURE itcsy
                             out_par STRUCTURE itcsy.
      READ TABLE in_par WITH KEY 'EKPO-EBELN'.
      CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
      $_po_no = in_par-value.
      READ TABLE in_par WITH KEY 'EKPO-EBELP'.
      CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
      $_po_line = in_par-value.
      SELECT *
      FROM eket UP TO 1 ROWS WHERE ebeln EQ $_po_no AND ebelp EQ $_po_line.
        $_del_date = eket-eindt.
        CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'
          EXPORTING
            date_internal            = eket-eindt
          IMPORTING
            date_external            = $_del_date
          EXCEPTIONS
            date_internal_is_invalid = 1
            OTHERS                   = 2.
        READ TABLE out_par WITH KEY 'DEL_DATE'.

  • [Forum FAQ] How to configure a Data Driven Subscription which get multi-value parameters from one column of a database table?

    Introduction
    In SQL Server Reporting Services, we can define a mapping between the fields that are returned in the query to specific delivery options and to report parameters in a data-driven subscription.
    For a report with a parameter (such as YEAR) that allow multiple values, when creating a data-driven subscription, how can we pass a record like below to show correct data (data for year 2012, 2013 and 2014).
    EmailAddress                             Parameter                      
    Comment
    [email protected]              2012,2013,2014               NULL
    In this article, I will demonstrate how to configure a Data Driven Subscription which get multi-value parameters from one column of a database table
    Workaround
    Generally, if we pass the “Parameter” column to report directly in the step 5 when creating data-driven subscription.
    The value “2012,2013,2014” will be regarded as a single value, Reporting Services will use “2012,2013,2014” to filter data. However, there are no any records that YEAR filed equal to “2012,2013,2014”, and we will get an error when the subscription executed
    on the log. (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles)
    Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InvalidReportParameterException: Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'Name' is not a valid value.
    This means that there is no such a value on parameter’s available value list, this is an invalid parameter value. If we change the parameter records like below.
    EmailAddress                        Parameter             Comment
    [email protected]         2012                     NULL
    [email protected]         2013                     NULL
    [email protected]         2014                     NULL
    In this case, Reporting Services will generate 3 reports for one data-driven subscription. Each report for only one year which cannot fit the requirement obviously.
    Currently, there is no a solution to solve this issue. The workaround for it is that create two report, one is used for view report for end users, another one is used for create data-driven subscription.
    On the report that used create data-driven subscription, uncheck “Allow multiple values” option for the parameter, do not specify and available values and default values for this parameter. Then change the Filter
    From
    Expression:[ParameterName]
    Operator   :In
    Value         :[@ParameterName]
    To
    Expression:[ParameterName]
    Operator   :In
    Value         :Split(Parameters!ParameterName.Value,",")
    In this case, we can specify a value like "2012,2013,2014" from database to the data-driven subscription.
    Applies to
    Microsoft SQL Server 2005
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012

    For every Auftrag, there are multiple Position entries.
    Rest of the blocks don't seems to have any relation.
    So you can check this code to see how internal table lt_str is built whose first 3 fields have data contained in Auftrag, and next 3 fields have Position data. The structure is flat, assuming that every Position record is related to preceding Auftrag.

    In [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=4590586]this post, Nick showed you how to get the Row.
    If it were so urgent, you could have done a little reading of the javadocs to come up with code like this (not tested, up to you to do that)
    HashMap m = new HashMap();
    Row r = get it like Nick showed you to;
    Object values[]=r.getAttributeValues();
    String names[]=r.getAttributeNames();
    for (int i=0; i<r.getAttributeCount(); i++)
    m.put(names, values[i]);
