Looking create a script for itunes to replace missing playlist songs

Hello, basically all of the songs in my itunes folder got erased, so in itunes they were replaced with "!". I dragged the library folder back into itunes, and they were all found in the "Library" but not in the playlists. Is there a way to create an apple script to link the found tracks in itunes with the missing songs in the playlists?
Thanks!

I found that this is full of 'Users' and more likely to be experienced using AppleScript and Automator.
Although I don't say that someone here won't be able to help. Just might take longer here or, as you yourself suggest, may need posting elsewhere on this site. Just speaking from previous experience of both sites

Trying to create a script for iTunes

This is one of those questions that probably has a very simple answer unless you haven't worked with Automator or applescripts.
I found Automator, created a script for iTunes to change settings for audiobooks that I import from CD so that it remembers it's place in a "song", makes it so that it doesn't show up in shuffle lists, and doesn't have a gap between songs. Yippee for me.
I click on File, Save, name the file and save it and ... it doesn't show up under iTunes. It only took me 45 minutes to get it so that the scroll icon shows up under iTunes (I'm so confused now that I don't even know which thing I did caused that to happen) but my script I created doesn't show up.
I did find one place that said to place the file in (myname\library\scripts\programname) So I went to my home folder, find the library folder, found the scripts folder, and found only one application under there (Safari) but no iTunes. I created a folder called iTunes and saved my script there but ... it doesn't show up under iTunes.
I did try quitting iTunes and opening it back up and ... it still isn't there.

How to create a script for DB Startup

Hi to all,
I need to create a script for DB Startup with this command:
sqlplus /nolog
conn sys/mypwd as sysdba;
startup;
exit
It is possible ?
At now, when I run Sqlplus /nolog I see only the prompt sql>.
I Hope in Your help.
Best Regards
Gaetano

Hi,
Assuming you are on Windows environment. You may use the following two scripts to startup the database.
startup.bat
========
net start OracleServiceYOUR_INSTANCE_NAME
set oracle_sid=YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin\sqlplus /nolog @C:\DBA\startDB.sql
net start OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener
pause
startDB.sql
=========
connect sys/your_password as sysdba
startup pfile=D:\ORACLE\ORADBA\pfile\init.ora
exit
Similarly, you may write your own shutdown script.

For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?

For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching? All songs are available on iTunes. I don't get it! Any way to manually match songs that iTunes apparently can't match? I have hundreds in this unmatched state.

gsl wrote:
Shazam has NO problem determining what these songs are. Maybe Apple needs to consider licensing their technology as it seems MUCH more accurate than what they are doing.
You aren't comparing like with like.
The main task that Shazam has is to identify the name or a track and the artist. I believe that it suggests the album as well, but if it gets that wrong then it doesn't really matter too much.
With iTunes Match, getting the album (i.e. identifying which version it is) is much more important. If it gets that wrong then it breaks up the flow of an album. This makes the task that match has very much harder.
In fact, there is a strong argument to say that currently the problem iTunes has is that it is matching too many songs, resulting in matches from different albums.
I'm sure that match is not struggling to identify whether it has a song or not, but whether it has the correct version of a song. When you introduce different masterings into the process then, depending on the thresholds set, it is probably correct in concluding that it hasn't got a particular version, even if you think it has.
The solution would appear to me to be a tweaking of the matching thresholds along with the ability to force an upload, but we just don't know what restrictions they have (remember that if Shazam gets it wrong the it doesn't present you with a copy of a new track that you didn't have previously). It is almost certainly not just a case of improving their technology.

Creating a script for inserting images

I am new to the scripting concept, so please forgive me when I use incorrect terminology.
I would like to create a script that will automatically place images in my InCopy document. Basically I want to type the names of image files in an InCopy document then run a script that will replace the name of the file with the actual image (either as an embedded image or as an image in a graphics frame, although the graphics frame might not work if the document isn't linked to an InDesign document.)
I'm assuming I'd have to identify the image name in some way (slashes or something before and after) and during the script I'd have to identify where to find the given images, such as which folder they are in.
Is this possible in InCopy?
Eventually, these InCopy documents will be used in InDesign. Would it be better/faster to use a script to import these images into InDesign instead of InCopy?
(In case the information is important, the images are all either .tif files or .eps files.)
Also, how do I find someone who can write this script for me? I'm assuming there are freelance programmer people out there... how do I find one?
Thanks for any advice/help you can give me!

Help creating a script for backup

Hi everybody,
I would like to make some backups using rman and recovery flash area on oracle10g on my Debian.
I would like to make a full backup level 0 on Sunday and make incremental backups from Monday to saturday.The best would be to have one for hot backup and one for cold backups.
But I am wondering how to schedule a task using rman. For example is it possible to write a script that would make the backups at a desired time executed by oracle?
Or do I have to create a script on unix that should be executed by cron?
You know I am really bad at scripting, but it would really help me if you could help me creating a script that would make the backup automatically on sunday at midnight and incremental eveydays until sunday.Here is the information I need to put in a script:
#flash recovery area creation under sqlplus
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE = 10g SCOPE=BOTH SID='*';
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST = '/home/oracle/flash_recovery_area' SCOPE=BOTH SID='*';
#setting the default variable
ORACLE_SID=iscream;
#connect to target database:
rman TARGET SYS/oracle@iscream NOCATALOG
#set the defaults values for rman
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
Any help will be appreciated
synthese
hot backup
using rman
using flash_recovery_area
full backup set compressed on sunday
incremental backup set compressed from mondy to saturday
using disk
policy retenttion 7 days
redondance 2

You can backup using some unix shell scripts.
rman is not really good one.

Create ecatt script for one sales order creation with multiple line items

Hi ,
I want to create a ecatt script for one sales order creation with multiple line items. Preferably SAP GUI.
This selection of data will be from an external file/ variants which will have only one row of data in it.
Firstly: I have to sort the external file having same PO Numbers in an order.Group them together.
Second: I have to create sales order for those many line items having same PO Number.
Best Regard
Taranum

Hi Micky
Firstl you should upload the Line items for a particular sales Order in an Internal table
and then pass that internal table to your BAPI during your coding corresponding to a particu;lar sales order
In case of any issues pls revert back

Would like to create a script for list all elements and structure of an indesign document

Hello everybody,
I'm a very beginner in indesign scripting.
I would like to create a script in order to list all elements and the inner structure of a n indesign document.
The aim for me is to understand how elements are sorted and arranged into indesign, and be able to find an specific element by its item name.
The output document could be an xml or txt document with a treeview structure.
I would like have a rough idea of which kind of javascript code I should use for that.
Thanks for answers.

Hi Ossydoc,
You can use Muse to create such a website. All you need to do is, create links in Muse for the sermons and select " link to File " in the hyperlink option and link to those Mp3 files.
Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/4xvdup
Now, when you publish your site, Muse would automatically upload those files onto the server and the users would then be able to listen as well as download those sermons using the links on your site.
Hope this helps

Creating shell script for cloning

Hi,
I am cloning 11.5.8 instance. For copying of files from source to production I use rcp command. I want to create shell script that copies the files and lwhen it is complete send an email to my rediffmail account.
There are 2 problems:-
1. How to track if rcp commaind has completed.
2. How to send out an email. I tried to send an email using sendmail but it gave me an error "stdin: Value too large for defined data type".
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Neeraj

Hi Neeraj,
I'd suggest using the exit code from the rcp command to drive your email step. For most commands in Linux, and exit code of 0 indicates success, and in most shells, the environment variable $? stores the exit code of the most recent command. So, you could do something like this:
rcp source_files target_location
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
then
echo "Huzzah\!" | mailx -s "RCP from source to target successful" your_username@your_host
else
echo "Bummer. Got exit code $? from rcp" | mailx -s "RCP from source to target failed" your_username@your_host
fiThe preceding advice is offered with three disclaimers:
1) I don't know which shell you're using (ksh, bash, csh?) -- my code snippet assumes ksh, but the principles should be the same in any shell
2) My morning coffee has not yet taken effect, so I may be completely wrong about something important :-)
3) The code above is untested, and will probably not work in any shell without modification.
Despite all that, hopefully this will put you on the right track.
Regards,
John P.

Can anyone spot the error in this script for iTunes?

This AppleScript is designed to copy the Name and Artist of an iTunes track, then populate the Album Artist field with both, separated with an oblique. But when I run the script in iTunes, it only pastes the Artist name in to the Album Artist field and not the whole string.
tell application "iTunes"
if selection is not {} then -- if tracks are selected...
set sel to selection
set numTracks to (length of sel)
set s to "s"
if numTracks is 1 then set s to ""
display dialog "Adds the name of the track and the name of the artist to the Album Artist field." & return & return & (numTracks & " track" & s & " selected.") buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button 2 with title "Create Album Artist" giving up after 30
if gave up of result is true then return
repeat with t from 1 to numTracks
tell contents of item t of sel
set {album artist} to ({get artist} & " / " & {get name})
end tell
end repeat
else
display dialog "No tracks have been selected." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 with icon 0 giving up after 30
end if -- no selection
end tell

Hello
Try -
tell item t of sel
set album artist to (get artist) & " / " & (get name)
end tell
instead of -
tell contents of item t of sel
set {album artist} to ({get artist} & " / " & {get name})
end tell
In your original code, the left and right value of assignment are both list, i.e. -
left value = {album artist}
right value = {get artist, "/", get name}
Consequently 'album artist' is assigned to the 1st item of the list at right, which is the result of 'get artist'.
In order to avoid this, don't use list assingment, which is not necessary at all here.
Also, I think you may just tell item t of sel, not contents of item t of sel.
Hope this may help,

Required to create a script for base table update using XMLSTORE package.

Hi can anybody provide me some help full suggestion on how to update base table using XMLSTORE package.
I created a simple script for Employee table and can able to do the basic operation like Insert and update on the table.
Query is as follow's
DECLARE
insCtx DBMS_XMLSTORE.ctxType;

DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(rows || ' rows inserted.');
-- Close the context
DBMS_XMLSTORE.closeContext(insCtx);
END;

updCtx := DBMS_XMLSTORE.newContext('EMPLOYEES'); -- get the context
DBMS_XMLSTORE.clearUpdateColumnList(updCtx); -- clear update settings
-- Specify that column employee_id is a "key" to identify the row to update.
DBMS_XMLSTORE.setKeyColumn(updCtx, 'EMPLOYEE_ID');
rows := DBMS_XMLSTORE.updateXML(updCtx, xmlDoc); -- update the table
DBMS_XMLSTORE.closeContext(updCtx); -- close the context
commit;
END;
Nowi want little modification on this above query like as i am passing static XML tags and i want it to pick the dynamic XML from web and use the XMLSTORE for the update.
and also for complex XML having 2-3 levels how this query needs to be changed.As i am new to this Oracle utillity any help from xepert will be a great help for me.
Thanks

Nowi want little modification on this above query like as i am passing static XML tags and i want it to pick the dynamic XML from webFrom a Web Service?
You'll need UTL_HTTP or HttpUriType interface to send the request and receive the XML response.
Search in the forum, there are already a lot of useful examples available.
and also for complex XML having 2-3 levels how this query needs to be changed.DBMS_XMLStore is OK for readily processing a canonical XML format (/ROWSET/ROW/COLUMN structure or alike).
However, if you have to deal with a more complex structure, you either have to :
- use a target object table that matches the XML structure
- preprocess the input document using XSLT to transform it to canonical format
That's why DBMS_XMLStore is not appropriate for multilevel documents, especially if they contain nested repeating groups.
In this case, XMLTable is a more flexible way of parsing the XML and process it relationally at the same time.
Depending on the size of the document, performance may be improved with schema-based object-relational storage.
For more help, please post a new thread in the {forum:id=34} forum, with the following information :
- database version (select * from v$version)
- a sample XML document (the complex one)
- DDL of your target table
- mapping between XML elements and columns (ie which tag goes to which column?)
- an XML schema (if you have one)

Can The iPod music files by imported back to iTunes To replace missing music files?

My iTunes library is missing many of the files that I have saved. Is there a way to import the files from my iPod back into iTunes to replace the missing original files?

Use the backup of the computer to put the files back.
If no backup exists, the content was purchased iTunes, and you are in the US, they can be redownloaded from the iTunes store.
