MSI Source path

Hi!
What Im trying to do is that i want a variable rather then the real UNC path to my MSI-package.
Atm i have point out \\server\vol1\app\app.msi to all my msi-zenapps.
What i want is \\%APP_SOURCE%\app.app.msi.
What i have tried to do is this:
1. In login-scripts ive dos set APP_SOURCE="server\vol1\app"
2. In "Identification > Package Infromation"
Administration Package Path: \\%APP_SOURCE%\app
3. In "Common > Source"
Package Source List: \\%APP_SOURCE%\app
4. In "Common > Macros"
Macros: Name: APP_SOURCE Value: server\vol1
When i'd set all those settings, and go back to "Identification > Package Infromation" i get an error massage that says "Error: Database could not be opened. MSI file could not be found".
Okey, stupid C1!
Anyway, when i try my application later on it success with the installation? How come?

Yes. I figured out that at last. Think ive wrote my last post while you answered . so look over there, i still have a remaining problem. When i use a variable (set from enviroment) in the Package Information selection of Identifiction tab i got a error message about Zenworks cant find the database and cant therefor open the msi-package.

ZFD App distribution, source path and fs rights...

I am encountering an issue, where it seems that the only place you can
specify the SOURCE_PATH variable for a ZFD app distribution is via the TED
policy...
Whenever I try and specify an application specific SOURCE_PATH (i.e. on the
golden app) I get the following error reported in the dist TED.LOG:
'the source path %SOURCE_PATH% is invalid. Make sure the "SOURCE_PATH"
variable value is defined in the Tiered Electronic Distribution policy, and
that the policy is associated with the Distributor objects parent container.'
I understand that you can reference subscriber specific variables to set
the destination folder and substructure within the distribution object, but
cannot seem to set an application specific SOURCE_PATH on either the app or
distribution object - it just wants to use the policy based value, which
can only be set once for the distributor...
Is it not possible to set an application/distribution specific value? And
if not, how does the transfer of Common->File System Rights work?
I'm sure I must be doing something wrong/approaching this the wrong way!
Please help if you can!
Many thanks
David

The actual issue is that the SOURCE_PATH macro IS NOT modified when
distributing MSI based apps, however this works fine for snapshot style
apps... For whatever reason the distributor treats MSI based apps and
trad. app objects differently. If you try and 'gather' an MSI based app
with the SOURCE_PATH variable used in the Package Source List, whcih HAS
been defined in the Common Macros, then it insists the variable in invalid...
As for the rights, the best way I've found is to give the rights to an
associated group and maintain the group through the distribution. i.e.
mirror structure and maintain associations. If you do this then rights ARE
assigned to the distributed group object

TED chained applications with same source path produce large distribution file

Hello,
after using an application successful in my central location I want to
distribute it - what's the problem: The application itself contains 13
simple msi installations as dependent....
So what happens: The source path contains 13 msi files, the
distribution file contains all files for every application...even if
they are the same...
I was curious about not getting the gather finished, instead I got a
"volume almost out of space" message.
My question: Is this working as designed, will it be changed (it doesnt
make sense to distribute the same files multiple times...), is it a bug
only?:)
I'm going to put the msi into different subfolders now (change of
source path, origin path is needed too...) - I think this would work
well as a workaround, however I would like to know if it's designed
that way - so you have to take care not to share any folders or
subfolders...
Thx in advance

Jared,
hard to get right now..had to remove the old apps...
Trying to explain short:
- 13 small msi install applications, every source in a different folder
now
- "package" application (call it "PACKAGE")-> associated to selected
workstations (or ws group), start menu/desktop to do a manual install,
this app doesn't do anything except having the 13 dependent
applications
- "update" application (thats what I named "3rd"...sorry for the
confusing name;))-> associated to all workstations, set to force run if
special conditions are met (so something showing one of the partial
apps is outdated, the partial app will have a new version number
assigned). This application had the dependent app "PACKAGE" -> worked
fine in local distribution but would start to distribute the apps 1-13
again....(?not sure)
Finally I came to a general conclusion: If you have some special basic
application (lets say dot-net 3.0, 2.0 etc..., a special patch) that
might be required for different applications -> it's not a good idea to
use msi for this one because it will distribute with every app using it
as a dependent app. I will go to distribute file sources, the app calls
msiexec so nothing will be distributed for this part...
Hopefully I explained somewha better...(?)
Thx in advance

Data Source path in Pivot Table changes to absolute on its own

Hello.
I have a .XLSX file, that was created long time ago (I don't even know in which Office version, but definitely not 2013), and maybe even was a .XLS file at first.
So it's a 4 MB file with 16 Sheets and 8 Pivot Tables.
All of the Pivot Tables use other sheets from the same file as Data Source.
Data Source for some of them look like this: 'Sheet3'!$A:$E
Everything is fine when I save the file, and open it from saved file.
But as soon as I try to move the file elsewhere, or rename it, or email it - all Data Source paths change to something like this: '\Users\Sergii_Litnevskyi\Desktop\New folder\[FileName.xlsx]Sheet3'!$A:$E
And it happens with all Pivot Tables. The problem is that it links to an old file path, where the file does not exist anymore. And it links to an external file, which is not what I want.
If I Save As and select different path and filename - then it works fine. So it's a workaround for renaming and moving files, but not for sending them to other persons.
I've read some threads, and people recommend disabling "Save external link values", but it does not help. It is already turned off in my office, but it keeps acting weird.
So what I need is: Save the file, close it, rename it, move it to other place, send it over email as attachment. And then I want to have the same Data Source path in my PivotTables as I had before I saved the file. How can I do it?
My Office version: Microsoft Excel 2013 (15.0.4454.1503) MSO (15.0.4517.1005) 32-bit

Hi,
According to your description, I suppose the issue may be caused by some reason.
Do you link the outside data source?
I think if the file moves the file elsewhere, or renames, or email,
data source paths can’t be change.
But, your data source paths add the absolute path.
Do you link the outside data source?
I recommend you zip the file and send it as Email attachment.
If the issue exists, you may save as it in a new name and test it in another computer.

I am pretty sure that I don't have any external links in the document.
However, even if I did - why would it change Data Source path for all of the Pivot Tables, when I did not request it?
I tried zipping it and sending to other person over email, but he got the file with changed data source paths.
I can even record a short video to show what happens.
Actually, I just did it. You can see the video here: http://screencast.com/t/qMBild3ck9b
It is rather big - 23.8 MB.
Let me explain what I showed there:
I opened my original file. I showed that there are Pivot Tables, whose Data Sources are in the same file, on various other sheets.
I showed this for all of the Pivot Tables in the document.
I saved the file using Save As in a different folder and under a different name (TEST.xlsx).
I then opened that saved file to show you that it is fine, and the Data Source path for one of the Pivot Tables is the same as it was in original file. It is the same for all of the other Pivot Tables.
Then I closed, and simply renamed the file to TEST123.xlsx.
Opened it, and first thing wrong - Security warning.
Then I got ‘Cannot open PivotTable source file ….’ messages. And, as I showed, now all Data Source paths have been changed to full paths of the file, that was created by Save As (TEST.xlsx) from original file.

How do I use a OS (Windows) Environment Variable in the source path of me ActionScript 3.0 settings

I'm sure this can be done as I know we used something similiar at my old work place, below is an image showing what I am attempting to do.
We used this to create more portable / shareable assets files which when symbols are linking to code, the code was very often in different directories on different machines.
So we had set up environment variables in the OS to point to source directories and then used these variables in the source paths.
As long as everyone had these variables set up then it would all work.
Anyone know the correct way to do this in Flash CC
Thanks in advance!
Best Wishes
Rhys Thomas

sinious the problem with doing that is that the changed path gets into the code repository as well, so you wind up with everyone going back and forth changing it to their own value, which is a hassle. If you use relative paths and a standard project setup, then it all "just works" without a problem.
For example, this is the setup I use:
.dev
     .thisProject
          .Flash1
               Flash1.as
               .Flash1
                    Flash1.xfl
               .view
                    .audioAssets
                    .customViews
          .SoundLib
               SoundLib.xfl
          SoundLib.swc
     .bin <swfs are output here
          .xml
     .core
          .control
          .model
          .service
          .view
We have a "base project" that you check out to start a new project (we do heaps of similar work), and the paths are already set up to be relative. Having each project point to its own copy of the core code allows for fine-grained control of which revision you're using--we've even pointed deliberately to old versions or branches on rare occasions.
The bin folder is actually shared with the website repository, which is in a different directory from the Flash source code (in the website, it has a different name). This allows the generated swfs to be easily updated and ensures that the latest XML is being used both for development and on the site.
The "thisProject" folder actually includes a Flash Builder workspace with all the standard shortcuts, etc., already set up. This is primarily because of how the "default path" works when you create a new Flash Pro project in FB. Because we output a level up from the workspace, we hack the .metadata folder every time, but that's a small change.

Error: A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure

I use Adobe Flex Compiler (mxmlc) Version 4.1.0 build 16032,I have a file,named CustomGraphContainerController.as,it's directory is c:\controllers,and the GCController.as file is under the same directory,CustomGraphContainerController.as file like follows
package controllers{
import ui.GraphControlContainer;
public class CustomGraphContainerController extends GCController {
public function CustomGraphContainerController(a_graphControlContainer:GraphControlContainer) {
super(a_graphControlContainer);
Then I want to use mxmlc command to compile it,like follows:
C:\>mxmlc c:\controllers\CustomGraphContainerController.as
But it raise compile errors,like follows:
Loading configuration file C:\sdk\frameworks\flex-config.xml
C:\controllers\GCController.as: Error: A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure '', as the definition's package, 'controllers'.
I don't know how to compile the as file with package controllers? Where is wrong? How to use mxmlc to compile it?
Thanks

HI,
You should have one main application class to compile this as code to swf.. So that main application path should be in your proper package structure.. then you can compile you app and as files also...
Thanks

Configuring Doc Path (and Source Path) for default JDeveloper library

hi
Sometimes a default JDeveloper library as no Doc Path (or Source Path) configured.
Adding a project library with only a Doc Path (or/and Source Path) configured (so no Class Path) can make the relevant API documentation more easily available in JDeveloper,
see http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/img/2011/library-doc-path-20110529.png
- (q1) Why has the "WebLogic 10.3 Remote-Client" library no Doc Path configured by default?
- (q2) Are somehow/somewhere source files available (maybe only of "API related"/non-implementation classes) for the "WebLogic 10.3 Remote-Client" library, so these can be configured in a library Source Path, to make the API documentation even more easily accessible in JDeveloper?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Thanks for your reply John.

Ant question: difference btwn source-path/compiler-source-path/include-libraries

<compiler.include-libraries dir="${basedir}">

</compiler.include-libraries>

1. What's the difference between source-path and compiler.source-path
2. So what exactly is a compiler.include-libraries? Just curious what produces a library.
I've had success accessing actions script files that reside in other directories using compiler.source-path but not source-path. Any help appreciated

Source paths with same folder name ?

Hello Forum
I am using Flex Builder 3 to build an actionscript application. I have added a few external packages that I use on a regular basis on a separate location on the harddrive so that in the future multiple apps ideally could reference to them. Now the problem is that my current project sits in a 'com.projectname' folder and one of the external packages also has a 'com' folder. FB seems to get confused and doesn't recognize the latter after I've added the source path in the project properties menu (under Actionscript Build Path).
Any insight appreciated.
Thank you.

If you could replicate the issue with a "minimal" application and share the code, an answer should be fairly easy to provide.

Get source path of .ai file`?

Hi!
Have searched but i cant find a good way of retrieving the source path of the current .AI file. Is it possible?
IE: If i am working with a file in C:\adobe\Illustrator\beautifulfile.ai i want a function that retrieve C:\adobe\Illustrator\
// Clint

your example C:\adobe\Illustrator\beautifulfile.ai
Well, try this:
alert(app.activeDocument.fullName.parent.fsName); // = C:\adobe\Illustrator
or (if last backslash is really needed):
alert(app.activeDocument.fullName.parent.fsName + "\u005c"); // = C:\adobe\Illustrator\

Is there a way to exclude files from source paths using patterns

Hi
Does anyone know of any way to exclude files from source paths using patters rather than individually selecting the files? UI doesn't allow to specify any pattern. But if you look at the jpr file there are other places where patterns are allowed. Can the same pattern be copied and applied to excluded files?
Pat

Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

Scan source paths... and performance.

In another thread,
Struts Page Flow Editor Unusably Slow
poor performance turned out to be due to a problem with having 'Scan source paths to determine project contents' enabled.
Apart from the problems with the diagrammer, this manifested itself as jdev using 100% cpu for periods of anything from 1 to lots of seconds.
There are lots of other (generally intermittent) occasions where jdev temporarily locks up using 100% cpu. A regular one is for the component palette to appear/disappear when switching between a jsp and a java file. A more intermittent one is just waiting for the text to appear in a menu or dialog box (ie the new 'window' appears as blank and you can't do anything for a variable period until the text appears.)
I shall watch these to see if disabling source scanning helps these as well.

Hi,
I've got the problem with permanent scanning the source files after I created a "Web Service Proxy". After I closed and restarted JDeveloper I got an OutOfMemory exception at startup. The only thing helped was to delete the whole JDeveloper profile.
I hope this helps to analyze the problem.

9.0.3 scan source paths: how to control which files are picked?

Using 9.0.3 Preview. I've been waiting for the "scan source paths to determine project contents" feature, but I'm running into problems with this:
* It's picking up "Packages" called com.mycompany.CVS, with "files" called Entries, Repository, etc. It messes the display (making it contain twice the number of entries that I'd like it to show).
* Also, there's no way to exclude certain files or directories from the list (or is there?). I happen to have a few .jsp files lying around which are copied (by our Ant build.xml) to their proper location - but the build insists on compiling these .JSP files, and worse, spits out the error:
Error: JSP files must reside in the server root directory or a subdirectory beneath it
What the heck does this mean?
How do I get around these problems?
Shankar.

Hi,
You can quickly create a project based on a directory (e.g. the sourcepath) and its (filtered) contents using the New Project from Existing Source wizard in the New Object Gallery (from File->New...). If you're not too bothered about the project being dynamically updated with changes on the filesystem, you may find this solves your issue.
However, I do agree that there should be some access to filtering for "dynamic" projects. I've logged the following bug against JDeveloper's SCM support (incl. CVS):
2552750 DYNPRJ: WE SHOULD USE THE DYNAMIC PROJECT FILTER API FOR SCM FILES
to support filtering out SCM control files (such as Entries, Root etc.) and the following ER against the IDE:
2552763 DYNPRJ: PROVIDE UI SUPPORT FOR FILTERING
to provide UI for filtering in a dynamic project.
Both the bug and ER are published, so you can track their progress on metalink.
Thanks,
