Macros for Automating tasks

I am a Microsoft fanatic, because all the years it has been the only computing programmes that I know.
I would like to know, now that I have switched to Apple, does iwork have(Numbers'09)have n ability to create macros?
If there is no such a function, does that mean have to buy office 2008 for Mac?
Please help me

Searching for "automator AND mac" gave me this interesting link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2488
As I amleady wrote (in an other thread) I dislike Automator which, from my point of view add a supplementary level between the application (here Numbers) and AppleScript.
So, my preferred tool is AppleScript.

OSM 7.0: Error in custom plug-in for automation task

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a new custom plug-in to write in a file from OSM. I have created my Java class and my custom plug-in. On the other hand, I have created a new automation task which will use the new plug-in. From a new process, I will invoke that task.
When I build my cartridge there is no error (the automationMap.xml file is created in the cartridgeBuild/automation folder) and I can deploy it correctly, but when I submit a new order and my process has to be executed, I get the error:
SQL Exception 20,004 : ORA-20004: Starting position for the process is not defined. Call support. process id = 10128.

Hi All,
I have got solution. In that error is of file location but actually its referring to the function which is declared in XQuery.
Secondly, this will refer to all XQuery which is imported there at the time of task.
For ex. SIEntryPoint.xquery, in that it will go and check for all the functions which is imported in that XQuery (refer to all XQuery)

Sending/Receiving JMS message to WMQ from Automated Task

Hi All,
I am new to OSM and working on a POC for the implementation of OSM in our company. We have WebSphere MQ for messaging and want to use same for OSM implementation. We don't want to create bridges, foreign server etc configuration in weblogic, rather just connect with MQ objects over JNDI (as supported) from OSM automated task. Having said that, we have following two scenarios:
1- JMS message is received at OSM
2- JMS message initiated from OSM (automated task)
Now our requirement is to create a sort of JMS inbound gateway for first scenario i.e. reading a message from a Queue and CreateOrder and then reply back to caller using JMSReplyTo header.
Second as JNDI support is available for automated task, can we send JMS message using direct JNDI look up for MQ JNDI objects i.e. using .bindings file (JNDI URL for MQ objects).
Thanks

Jobs and Tasks for Automation of load data in Essbase ASO Cube

Hi, all people,
my question is about creating jobs or tasks for automation loading data in essbase cubes.
I use .bat file witch run MaxL script for loading data form oracle database into an essbase cube. For running .bat file is made a Windows Task.
Is there any other opportunities to run .bat file not using windows tasks? Maybe there is special utilities in Oracle EPM Systems or any other.....
I am using essbase version 11.1.1.2.0.
Thanks for reply))

There is no internal scheduler.You either have to use Windows Scheduler, Unix Cron or a third party tool. Take a look at Star Analytics Command center, it is designed specifically for Hyperion applications http://www.staranalytics.com/products/command_center.htm

How do I create an automator task to run TimeMachine at only certain hours?

Hi
In another forum it was suggested I make an Automator task for setting TimeMachine to only run at certain hours of the day.
I've not used Automator in the past.
I'd like to set it to run TimeMachine from only 1AM to 7 AM.
Can anyone point me to a good source to figure out how to do this? Or just share with me how to write the task?
Thanks

You might look at this program.

Macro to colour tasks in team planner

Hi Everyone,
I have experience of writing macros for excel and the general format for such things but I dont know where to strat in Project 2010.
What Im trying to do is write a macro so that if the task name has "collect" in it, its red and if it has "deliver" in it its coloured red.
I have flags that do this for me in the gantt view so I could reference back to that I guess.
Can you help?
Thanks
Alex

cossie2know,
It sounds like red is your color of choice.
Unfortunately Project doesn't make this as easy as it may seem. In order to use the SegmentFillColor Method in the Team Planner view, the user must manually select the resource assignment. There appears to be no way to automate the selection in that view.
You could write a macro that found all the desired tasks and then create a resource filter for each of those tasks and apply that filter to the Team Planner view but you would still have to manually select those resource assignments that you wanted to color
code.
Not what you wanted to hear, but that's how it works, or in your case, doesn't work.

Previous Automator task no longer working in Leopard

Here's what I had - I use the Sonos music system which has a limit on total metadata. The longer the file path the more data was used. Therefore the folder system set up by iTunes (which I could not get rid of no matter what I tried) would end up using a lot of the data limit.
I created an Automator task that did the following:
1. Looked through my iTunes Music folder (on an external hard drive) for any folders.
2. Took the contents of the folders and moved them to the iTunes Music folder.
3. Searched through the iTunes Music folder for the now-empty subfolders
4. Moved these empty subfolders to the trash.
Using Leopard's Automator, I tried running my old workflow and got several error messages. Worse, it appears to have deleted my old workflow (can't find it anywhere) - whether or not Automator deleted it or I did accidentally, I no longer have it.
Trying to replicate the old flow, I simply cannot put together instructions that work. I can't seem to empty the folders out, so that the folders in the trash are filled with the songs. Once I even accidentally moved the whole iTunes folder into the trash. I can't get the last "move to trash" command to work without an error message though it seems to actually work no matter that there's an error message.
This shouldn't be too hard, but maybe I'm forgetting something simple. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Stu

It sure does appear that somehow the parental controls are linked to the widget issue in some fashion. I have two different accounts for my children (each with parental controls), one for my wife (no parental controls), a guest account and of course my administrative account.
After reading your replies I solved my problem (at least for now) by: 1) turning off the parental controls on my children's accounts; 2) logging into each existing account and; 3) logging back into the administrative account. When I finally got back into my own account, the widgets were all working again just like they did before. We'll see if this resolves the issue for the long-term (or at least until Apple can patch Leopard a little bit more).
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Problem with Automated Tasks

Hi all,
At this moment I'm testing a cartridge deployed in OSM7 that is installed in Solaris Spark. The cartridge contains processes that include Automated Tasks with XQuery Sender Automator Internal to send a message to a queue JMS. In some of the Automated Task, when try to execute de XQuery Sender doesn't occur anything, the message is not putted in the queue and in the log doesn't appear any error.
I created 3 orders in OSM, and checking all the WebLogic console I can see the next:
1. In the worklist of OSM appear the 3 orders with column "State=Received" and doesn't have anything in the column "User", (I think this mean that the automator has not started).
2. In the WebLogic console -> JMSModules -> "oms_jms_module" -> "oms_events" ->Monitoring, I can see 3 messages "Pending" that correspond to each order created.
3. The Orchestration Plan "Seen in the osmwebui" is OK.
Note1: When I test the same cartridge deployed in OSM7 installed in Windows I don't have the problem.
Note2: This doesn't occur always, sometimes the JMS Message is putted in the queue and the flow of the order continues in the right way.
Thanks a lot for any suggestion.
Edited by: user2926753 on 17-nov-2011 9:24

Ramiro;
From what you are describing, it sounds as if the automation plugin is not deployed - hence the reason why the task you are intending to automate just stays in the received state.
I would suggest you start by undeploying and then redeploying your cartridge.
Of course this doesn't explain your Note2, but worth trying the above in any case.
Can you tell me how you are submitting the order and what release of OSM you are on?
Thanks,
Brian.

Related to automation task in Hyperion

Hi,
I need to know which language is easy and worth to learn for automation of regular tasks in Hyperion.
MAXL- OK
ESSCMD-OK
Does i also learn Perl or .net etc.
Regards
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
To write portable automation programs, I would recommend Perl, or other tools like ODI for automation.
You would need MAXL/ESSCMD for executing Hyperion specific commands, while would need another scripting/Batch/Shell language or a tool like ODI, where you can directly run MAXL files etc.
Cheers,

Query in Main Task Not Working But it works For BG Task

Hi All,
I have a requirement to send work item to different level approvers for that i have to find final level approver from a table and save the data accordingly ,
i have a main task and a Background task
<b> my problem is that the same query that works in back ground task is not working in the Main Task.</b>
SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'LEVEL' Level. is a macro written in the method in BOR in main task for getting value which is in the WF container and has binded to the task container. it is not picking up the value from the task container to the method.
Please help me on this
Thanks & Regards
Hari Sankar M

hi Arghadip Kat,
Thank You for Your Response, i've tried ur Suggestion but it is again not working
just let me explain again
i have two tasks,(these two tasks are in a loop.) with one BOR(object) and two Methods
One Method is for first Main task and another is for second task(which is a background task)
i need to get a value called final from a table, i've written a query in the method of Back ground task. and i'm getting the value correctly but i'm not able to pass this value to the main task coz the loop exits after executing the subtask and coz loops exit point is the value final.
So for getting the value of Final in main task i've written the same query in main task but its not working.
Thanks & regards
Hari

Opportunity Team Assignment Rule and Automated Task Owner

Hi,
We have a requirement that when an Opportunity is created, the Opportunity Team assigned will be based on the Owner of the record. We created a "test" assignment rule wherein the:
* Team Assignment: (Example) John Locke (Manager), Jack Shephard (Coordinator)
* Rule criteria: Opportunity Owner First Name = Sawyer, Opportunity Owner Last Name = Ford (Question 1: I can't find Owner id field from the list... that would have been better..)
This works when the Reassign Opportunity checkbox is ticked during record creation and I needed to refresh the record to see the added users in the Team. (Question 2: Is that how it really works? Also, the users added in the Team does not have an Opportunity Role assigned... This field is important to my requirement..)
We have 3 Opportunity Team Opportunity Roles: Manager, Coordinator, Sales Rep. We also have a Sales Process based on the Opportunity Type wherein each Sales Stage has automated tasks for it. We assigned the "Opportunity Team Role - Coordinator" as the Owner of the tasks.
This part does not work because when you create the opportunity record, the user in the Team is only the Owner (creator of the record = Sawyer Ford)m which is also assigned as the Owner of the Activities created based on Sales Stage. What should happen is that the Owner of the Activities should be "Jack Shephard" (Coordinator from the assignment rule).
Question 3: How can I assign Opportunity Team Role in the assignment rules?
Question 4: It seems like the Sales Stage fires first (which creates the automated tasks) before the assignment rule fires....
Help please...
Thanks in advance,
Jasmin

Hi Abhijit,
Indeed as you stated, the team assignment can only be self-assigned. Meaning that a manager cannot assign a team assignment to another member. Customizing this feature could be quite complex and time/money consuming. If you decide to go that way, then it
is out of my knowledge.
Using the "reassign task" feature will not help because once reassigned, the manager will not be able to change the assignment again for another resource.
I'd rather suggest to put in place a process together with the project manager who is actually managing assignments in the project with Project Pro. For example the manager can access the project plan and should only update his resources on assignments but
not the project itself.
Hope this helps,

Re-doing failed automator tasks automatically

Hi. I want to queue up Automator tasks I saved as applications. I know you can use iCal and tell it to open the files at specific times but I was wondering if there's any other way of doing it, I've heard of Cron but is it any good?. My Automator tasks are dependent on a broadband connection and from time to time the internet is slow and the task will fail. I would like those tasks to automatically repeat either straight away or at the end of the queue or send me and alert to let me know of this failure so I can manually run it later.
I'd appreciate if anyone has any ideas.
Cheers.
Andrew

Ok, so to ensure that you have the higher quality Song uploaded:
1. Copy your higher quality Songs from iTunes to local folder;
2. Delete Songs in iTunes, including 'delete in iCloud' option;
3. Allow 6-12 hours for iTunes Match servers to synchronise (ensuring original really has gone from iCloud);
4. Turn iTunes Match off;
5. Import Songs from folder;
6. Turn iTunes Match on - allow it to complete the 3-step process.

Good tutorials for Automator

Hi there,
I was wondering if any of the Automator community could point me in the direction of some good tutorials..
I have a couple of tasks that I want to automate, though I think they require some Apple script at some point too.
1) I run a localhost. I would like to write a automator task that sets up new vHost (based on me entering some values ie: Name and root directory), updates my Hosts file and restarts Apache.
2) I get a lot of deleted domains list sent to me each morning. Im wanting to forward that email to my Wordpress install and auto add posts.. Automator can be set to schedule hey?
3) I would like to be able to publish my clients Analytics reports as they come into my mail box. The reports would need to be published to a different location on the server, so clients would only see their report. I know that Google does have a scheduled email sent, though Im want to set up a one-stop shop, for getting this information.
Do these things sound too far fetched for Automator?
Cheers,
Phil
