Moving custom Snippets

Whenever I upgrade or change computers, I always forget how to migrate custom Snippets. This should be a *one-button* process like exporting/importing site definition settings (STE files).
Anyway, I've located my custom Snippets, but I'll be damned if I can find Snippets in CS6's Configuration folder.
[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration
Besides a stronger pair of corrective lenses, what am I missing?

You could also symlink the snippets dir to your own library location. This way it always is exported. When you re-install a system, just symlink the DW snippet folder to your own library's snippet folder and bam they're all there as you left them last time.
In Windows go to STart / Command Prompt, then adjust to your needs and copy / execute the following line :
mklink /J "C:\Users\your-username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\Snippets" "D:\LIBRARY\WEB\DREAMWEAVER\MY_SNIPPETS"
if you were to symlink the whole "Dreamweaver CS6" roaming dir, then you not only save the snippets, but the whole kardashian
before you uninstall Dreamweaver, its probably better to rename your own LIBRARY for a moment, so the uninstall routine wouldn't delete your LIBRARY content as well. Not sure if it even does.
After new installation you then just name your LIBRARY back and redo the symlink, and all be in place again. Now for this yoy probably want to create own LIBRARY folders per DW version, since you never knoe what has changed in DW structure and you can't just use all the old files and folders back as they were with an older DW version ... but that's up to your try and creativity from here.
I use symlink for many apps to always and automatically keep my own copy of all achieved app-related files maintenance free ;-)

Disappearing custom snippets

Last week I painstakingly recreated in DW CS5, Mac, the custom Snippets folders I'd used in DW CS4, Win -- since I hadn't found a quick way (there should have been one) to export my existing CS4 Windows Snippets and import the resulting file into my new Mac DW CS5 installation.
I later restarted the Mac for a software update. When I launched DW again and went to look for my Snippets folder in its usual place, grouped with Files and Assets, it was missing. I re-launched it from Window > Snippets -- and discovered that all my carefully built custom Snippets were gone. Only the stock off-the-rack DW Snippets folders were present.
I checked the Forums, learned where the custom Snippets were supposed to be (in<user>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5/en_US/Configuration/Snippets ) and took a look. Nothing. Not even a Snippets folder in that location.
What the heck happened, and how can I avoid an unpleasant and highly inconvenient data/work-loss situation like this again??
BTW, I still have access to my Windows DW CS4 Snippets. If there is something I missed about a global export function for custom snippets, I'd sure like to know about it. The procedure ought to be as easy as exporting Site Definitions. (Or easier, really; the one-at-a-time Site Defs export arrangement isn't exactly a winner in terms of user convenience.)
Thanks.

Snippets are stored in files with a .csn filename extension. However, if you open a .csn file in a text editor, you'll see that it's simply an XML file. Normally, just copying the files is the simplest way to handle the migration of snippets.
However, there is an official way to migrate snippets, which is to package them as an extension. It's not particularly difficult to do. It involves creating an XML file (with an .mxi filename extension) containing details of the snippets. The Extension Manager does the rest. I've done it several times to package snippets for distribution with the files accompanying some of my books.
There's a template for the XML file at the following location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Extension Manager CS5\Samples\Dreamweaver\DreamweaverBlank.mxi (it's in a similar location in the Applications folder on a Mac).
The following example shows how I packaged the snippets for my Dreamweaver CS4 book:
<macromedia-extension
    name="Essential Guide to DW CS4 Snippets"
    version="0.9.3"
    type="suite">

Basically, you fill in the name, version number, and type of extension. Because I was packaging several snippets, I used "suite" as the type. For a single snippet, the correct value is "codesnippet".
Filling in the author name, description, and access tags is optional. The important section is the files tag, which contains a separate file tag for each snippet. The name attribute is the name of the .csn file for the snippet. The destination always begins with $dreamweaver/configuration/ followed by the name of the folder(s) where the files are to be installed. In the case of snippets, you should use Snippets followed by the name of any subfolder you want to store them in. The destination folders don't need to exist. The Extension Manager creates them automatically.
For convenience, I copy the .csn files to the same folder as my .mxi file. Otherwise the name attribute for each .csn file needs to include the path to the file's current location.
Launch the Extension Manager, select File > Package MXP Extension, and then navigate to the .mxi file. Give the extension a name using the filename extension .mxp, and click Open (it's probably Choose on a Mac). The Extension Manager generates the .mxp file, which can be used to install the snippets on any other machine, regardless of operating system.
As I say, it's not difficult, but it's not as simple as just copying and pasting snippets, which is why the official way of moving them isn't widely known.

Custom Snippet and automatic code

How can I add my own custom snippets?
Also, how can I modify the text that is put out automatically by Raptor when creating say for example a package or trigger.
So my custom automatic text for a new package will have my format and also the comments section.

For custom snippets, add this Update Site:
esdev update site

My custom snippets disappear after updates

This has been an issue with several versions of DW. When I enter my own snippets, they will be there again when I open DW a few times, and then later, they just randomly disappear. This always happens when I upgrade to a new version of DW. Maybe I installed an update and that wiped them out this last time, but I am not entirely certain that updates are always the cause of the missing snippets. Is there any way to back up these snippets or can Adobe prevent this behavior in the future?
Thanks,
Karen

Each DW version installs as a stand-alone application. Your custom snippets are saved under your user name in a folder called snippets within the Configuration folder (on Windows 7 this is here for me - C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration). You can copy and save that folder, and then after installing the new version place it in that same location except with the new version of DW (i.e., Dreamweaver CS6).
On a Mac, this location is <user>::Library::Application Support::Adobe::Dreamweaver CS5::en_US::Configuration
If you have not uninstalled the older version, you can recover your snippets from that location.

Custom Snippets location

I've searched the forum and found a number of threads about custom snippets, but I just want to confirm something.
Where are the custom snippets stored? I install sqldeveloper on the d:\ of my laptop, sadly the laptop died. IT department has given me a new laptop and copied everthing from the d:\ of my old laptop. But my snippets don't appear when I start up sqldeveloper on my new laptop.
I know it not just a case of the IT dept. not copying everything, because they've given me my old d:\ which I've connected upto my new laptop via usb, when I start the sqldeveloper on this drive I can't see my snippets either.
I can only assume that while the install I did to the d:\ installs the sqldeveloper to the d:\ some file ie Snippets file get installed on the c:\ (which is dead) of my old laptop.
Is this correct or what is the name of the file I should be looking for?
Cheers
Window XP
sqldeveloper build main 25.79
connecting to 9i and 10g databases (although that should affect it)

One other thing...
Try using this switch in a shortcut pointing to your SQLDeveloper.exe. This will point even more items to your personal user directory or wherever you want to point it.
-J-Dide.user.dir="%USERPROFILE%\.SQLdeveloper"
alternatley
-J-Dide.user.dir="%APPDATA%\.SQLdeveloper"
or
-J-Dide.user.dir="c:\SomePlaceElse\.SQLdeveloper"
Cheers...

Custom Snippets won't open from Network Drive

Hello All,
I'm using SQL Developer production release on a Window XP Svcpk 2 machine.
I have installed the extension to save snippets. My installation is on a network drive and I can open the "custom" snippets from that drive. However, if I move the snippets.xml to another network drive(one the entire department can see) SQL Developer doesn't open them. I have modified the sqldeveloper.conf to point to the location on the network drive as well as attempted to use a copy on my local hard drive. This may be a "feature" that it has to be in the jdev/extensions directory but it would be useful if the snippets.xml could be placed on a shared network drive. Don't think it is pertinent but I'm connecting to 10.1.0.5 DB(s) as well as an XE DB.
Thanks for your input....
Bob

Hi,
Did you get any error message when you try to open an Office document from a mapped network drive?
Meanwhile, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Temporarily turn off your firewall/antivirus program to check the result.
2. Try to disconnect the network drive and then reconnect it with the "Reconnect at logon" check box unticked.
3. You can have a look at the following KB article and check if it applies:

Moving Custom Database to Native Sharepoint Database Server

Hi,
What are Microsoft recommendations on moving custom database from one SQL node to native node containing sharepoint content database.
Are there any limitations or disadvantages of moving the custom database to content database server.
Regards, Ketan Gandhi

The general advice is not to. SharePoint doesn't play nicely with other applications (at least at the SQL level) and you're complicating the performance analysis aspects a lot.
It also often involves harming the SharePoint security model by granting other service accounts and support staff permissions on the SharePoint databases. You've then got potential performance problems when either of the two applications is heavily loaded.
Your SharePoint SQL instance may be using a custom Collation, which probably won't hurt anything but you can get odd behaviour if you end up with multiple DBs from different collations.
You must keep the Max Degree of Parallelism at 1 for SharePoint, even if this hurts your custom App.

Regards, Ketan Gandhi

Hi Ketan,
I suggest you provide more information about your requirement for further research.
If you want to use the custom database data in SharePoint, we can use Business Connectivity Services (BCS) in SharePoint 2010 to achieve it.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee819133.aspx
If you only want to move the custom database to the database server of the SharePoint in order to use in other ASP.net web application, we can use "Attach..." or "Restore Database...". And then check
the performance of the server.

I've check with netmon:
1. browser send: GET www.mydomain.de
receive a first http answer with: StatusCode: 302, Moved temporarily -> Location:
http://mydomain.azurewebsites.net/
Any idea how i can disable the temopory move stuff?
regards
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Do you try to access your website now? Could your access your "http://mydomain.azurewebsites.net/" in your browser?
I have two confused points:
1.Did your set your Azure website default page?
2. Domain name need 12 hours propagation, Does it work now?

Moving custom ISA B2B to Consolidation

Hi ,
I configured the runtime system(QA system's SDM port no and admin password) in the custom_b2b track .
Released all the activities for transport and imported them into the consolidation.
After clicking the "Assemble Components" button , it is ending the JLaunch and server process of the J2EE-QA system.
SAP-SHRWEB state has changed to "assemble failed" and Release is showing as 1.0 instead of 7.0.
Error LOG :

I created activities in the order : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
I released activites in the order : 1, 4, 6, 8. (Total 4 activities)
and then later released activities 2,3,5. (Total 3 activities)
But in the import queue these activities are showing as the version : 1 , 2, 3, 4 for 1, 4, 6 ,8 .(In the order I released activites)
and the version 5, 6, 7 for 2, 3, 5 activities.
Is there any problem associated with the order of releasing the activites?
Any other changes do I need to perform before moving transports to QA system(need to create a CMS user on QA system ?)
Thanks,

Hello Amar,
check build log of the track which gives log to locate the root cause of the problem in clear.
open CBS -> Check DCs and observe which has issues. Click on that DC which will show a screen with build status . you can find request log and build log.

Moving customer balance from Accounts Receivable to Notes Receivable

Hi Experts,
We would like to move a customer's accounts receivable balance from accounts receivable to notes receivable and have the amount removed from the aging report.
What steps do we need to take to make that happen?
THanks for your help?
Jane

Hi Jane
In that case you do an Incoming Payment
In the Incoming Payment - > Payment Means choose cash - Tab. select 'Notes to receivable' account there. since your 'Notes to receivable' is not a cash account your cash reports will also not be effected

Moving Custom fields to the main screen in CUP

Hi Gurus,
I am wondering if there is a way to move a custom field to the main screen like under general information instead of it being in the more section. We have a custom field which would be mandatory, So it would be nice to have it on the main screen.
Thanks,
Chinmaya
Edited by: chinmaya prakash on Nov 3, 2010 6:38 PM

Hi,
There is no way to achieve this. As per the desgin, CUP adds all the standard field to main screen and custom fields under more section.

Multiple moving custom HBoxes

** Noob to Flex, Old to programming **
for
My Middle Name's Hussein
Website I created a form to capture names. I would ALSO like to
read those names from the website (randomly) and combine them with
the middle name Hussein (ala Barak Obama) and have them appear
individually at the bottom, scroll to the top and then disappear,
ala the opening in Star Wars.
I created a custom HBox that has a text box for each of
firstname, the middle name constant "Hussein" and lastname. I have
gotten an individual Hbox to do the needed behavior.
I have tried several different methods (instantiate on the
fly, array) and except for instantiating 1 Hbox which does what it
is "supposed to" by having the effect occur on creation, I have
been unsuccessful.
In attempting to call the instantiation code based on the
timer, I saw nothing and in the attempt to have individual
components stored in an array made visible (attaching the effect to
showEffect) I saw nothing. (see attached code)
Am I not doing Timer correctly? Am I handling the multiple
objects incorrectly? Any direction (link to example? ideas?) would
be greatly appreciated. I have read a lot, but most array
information is in re: to data binding. Perchance this could be
better done in Flash, but I am more of a developer than a designer
so am, in general, more comfortable with the idea of Flex and would
prefer to do it there.
Learning a lot!

Moving custom default portal from 1.1 to 1.2

Is there a way to capture or backup the html & image files from a custom default portal in ISE 1.1 to be able to move it to a fresh install of ISE 1.2. Would it be in the backup somewhere?

Cisco ISE allows you to make global customizations that that affects the look, feel and behavior of the web pages users see in the Guest, Sponsor, and My Devices portals:
