New discussion category request -- Applescript & Automator

Dear Administrators, Jay T. et. al,
I think it would be a nice addition to the Aperture Discussion if you added a new sub-category for us: Applescript & Automator.
Scripting and automation will be a big part of Aperture's future success. It will make it easier for us propeller heads to monitor developments it we have a dedicated category we can subscribe too. I won't subscribe to the entire General Usage cagegory because there would be to much daily traffic on unrelated topics.
I don't think this will prevent the general audience from seeing interesting posts on these topics.

It would be nice to have a good location for more technical posts along those lines. Don't let the lack of one stop you though!

New Discussions forum/mailing list request

To whom would I address a request to make a new Discussions group (here on discussions.apple.com) and/or an email list from lists.apple.com?
I would like to see a new forum (or forums) in iTunes for programmers. Perhaps one for Macintosh and one for Windows. This forum would be for programmers who are trying to write programs that interact with iTunes through the Apple-provided APIs, and would like assistance.
There doesn't seem to be an existing forum or mailing list for these kinds of questions.

This is the right place to ask for a new forum. There is one already for developers in general:

If it is assistance from Apple you are seeking rather than from other developers, I think the channel would probably be

New Discussions: for day time use only? (-: A darker blue, please!

Thanks a lot Mods for your efforts.
I spend some time on these boards every day, so I can see things are going better and better.
I like the new Discussions better than the previous, especially everything that comes with this new ability to put much more on one page (like being able to see A LOT (not only five) of "Recent topics in this category", or that the topic's titles can be longuer than before, or being able to read the whole thread without jumping to "the next 15 posts" like before. I set "My Posts" to "50", this too was not possible before. Etc.)
Now my request:
At first I thought, like many others, that the "blue dot" and the "blue half-dot" were too small, and that we couldn't see the small grey "New!" because it was not red.
Now after all this time since Nov14, I finally understood what was wrong, because
(1) the new kind of eye fatigue I didn't experienced before, and
(2) a change in my computer's room lighting configuration.
The real problem is not the blue dot size (altough I'm sure if it was a square it would work better), it is its environment.
We have a white line after a light blue line, and this is a great feature to differenciate between topics. Works great within a thread too, to differenciate posts.
But one side effect of this is that the whole page "feels" slightly blue.
I'm not sure, but a human eye physicist could perhaps explain another kind of (more insidious?) side effect caused by the alternance of lines. Perhaps depending on which color are chosen for them?
Anyway, there is no problem with a page that "feels" blue, when the text is black.
The problem starts when the text ALSO is blue. Especially light blue...
I find the text blue color too light. Even the "visited link" purple is too light.
Given that the background is blueish, I mean. Otherwise it'd be fine.
This was not easy to understand, because the [defect/effect] is not obvious: the overall picture is nice.
But it became obvious to me when I saw that I have no problem IF I set my screen's brightess to "very bright".
New Discussions: for day time use only?
==> Please, would it be a problem (or too difficult to set perhaps?), to try a darker blue text for two or three weeks, see if we like it better? (along with a slightly darker purple for the visited links).
Thanks again for all the great work!

Hi Aneez,
I have given u all the configuration steps with links also the different ways by which u can raise alert.
I think u have not gone through my threads. Also u did not replied me whether u resolved the problem which is raised in thread.
1) how can i send an email alert through RWB?
RWB is used for raising Integration and Adapter engine related errors.
Its depends upto u what kind of errors u want to send.
2)what are the steps i need to configure using Tcode ALRTCATDEF.
Already provided u in one of ur thread.
3) is this possible using CCMS Alerts .
U can use this is another way of raising errros.
4)do i need SMTP to be configured to send an Email Alert ?
GO to SU01 transaction and maintained email address where u need to send alert message. IN ALRTCATDEF u need to mentioned the use in the fixed receiver tab.
Hope it clears to you.

New Adhoc approval workflow for approval of supplier for new pdt.category

Hi,
I am in the process creating a custom adhoc workflow. this is required for the approval of a supplier for new pdt. category. This shld be n-step workflow.
After completing the adhoc approval, it will go to a specific user for final approval. It shld have the functionality of adding approvers & reviewers to the approval process.
We are in the process of creating Screen & ITS template for the initial screen.How do I proceed with creation of the workflow?
Regards,
Sivagami.R

You'll have to raise request for Dummy Organization. It's Order for Organization so will not appear for user.
I am not sure the full flow/complete requirement of your.
APMU, you want approval while creating Organization into OIM.
This is not possible OOTb when you create ORg in OIM.
You'll create 1 dummy Org
1 Dummy RO "OFO".
Attach one Object Form with this RO.
Raise request for Dummy Org and Give the name of Org on the object form for which you want approval.
In the provisioning workflow, use OIM API to create Org into OIM.
Done !!!

How on EARTH to parameters work in AppleScript Automator Actions for SL?

Prior to Snow Leopard, creating a new AppleScript Automator Action would create a template something like...
on run{input, parameters}
but now, on Snow Leopard, I get:
on runWithInputfromAction_error(input, anAction, errorRef)
where to I get the 'parameters' collection from? If I just reference 'parameters', without it being declared in some way, I get errors....
I assume there is some new mechanism in SL, what is it??
Thanks

Sorry, I misunderstood what you said the first time around. I thought that you wanted to use the +Run AppleScript+ action within Automator but now I see that you are trying to create a new Automator action using applescript. Now that I try it in Xcode I to get the same method/handler signature. Tried to look at the [Mac Dev Center|http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/AppleApplications/C onceptual/AutomatorTutorialAppleScript/Introduction/Introduction.html] but it hasn't been updated lately. Also tried looking at the [Automator Programming Guide|http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/DOCUMENTATION/AppleApplications/Co nceptual/AutomatorConcepts/Articles/ImplementScriptAction.html#//apple_ref/doc/u id/TP40001512] and the documentation for [AMBundleAction|http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/DOCUMENTATION/AppleAppli cations/Reference/AutomatorFramework/Classes/AMBundleAction_Class/Reference/Refe rence.html] but can't figure anything out. Sorry I don't have much experience in Xcode, so can't help you much with that.

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?
I try this:
tell application "Numbers"
make new document with properties {template name:"blank"}
end tell
But don't work.
Where can I find documentation about it?
Thanks

If you try to invent your own syntax, you are starting on very wrong basis.
The required syntax is defined by the Numbers AppleScript's dictionary.
This one doesn't know what is a template.
This is why, in the link posted by badunit, I use an other scheme to create a new document.
I know that it's awful but it's the only one available at this time.

Hi Karunakar,
I went to transaction BUMR and created the new relationship category. I can see this in the SPRO -> cross application components -> SAP business partner -> BP Relationships -> Properties of relationship categories.
Go to BUMR -> Relationship Control -> Relationship Categories (BUBA)
I have copied the existing contact person relationship as my new relationship category
But it is not visible when I went to relationships tab in business partner.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Creation of New Item Category

Hi All
Can anyone give an example of when a new item category creation will be required in practical ?
Anil

Hi Anil,
It is always recommended to use standard item categories. Create new item categories if the functionality you require cannot be covered by the standard item categories. Following are the attributes and functions of a BOM item category.
o   Is a material number required?
o   Is the item to be used in inventory management on a quantity basis
o   Is the item a text item only, with no other functionality?
o   Is the item to be used as a variable-size item with the option of entering individual sizes ?
o   Is the item a document item?
     The document item category allows you to enter a document which you created using the document management system.
o   Is the item a class item?
     For configurable material BOMs, you can enter a class in which materials or documents are classified. When you assign characteristic values during BOM configuration, the class node is replaced by the object with the required characteristic values. In this way, the workload involved in maintaining BOMs with many variants is reduced, because you no longer have to enter all items individually and assign selection conditions to them.
o   Are sub-items supported?
o   Is the item a plant maintenance structure elment?
     If the item is a PM structure element, the system does not check
If the requirement is to obtain the functionality by shuffling the above combinations, only than go ahead. 99 out of 100 times, the standard categories are suffiecient.
Reward if cleared and close the thread.

Creation of new package and request number.

Hi frndz,
Hope everyone are doing fine. Coming to my query, its quite simple for you guys.
But me being new to BW, I would like to know how to create a new package and request number.
And I have a task to create a new IS and DS also. So do i need to create these new package and request number separately or at the time of creation of IS and DS.
Please give me clear idea.
Thanking you.
regards
Dubbu

Hi Vinay,
I hope you are speaking about Package to collect Objects and collecting them in Transport Requests.
Usually you use the same packages for all the objects. According to requirement if you want to create the Package you can goto SE80--> There you can create a New Package. Give Transport layer as SAP. and Activate it. Then you collect the package in a Transport Request. You can create the request by the create button on the screen when it ask for Transport Request.
While creating the Infosource or other objects you mention the package which you have created while saving and you can use the existing TR or new TR for collecting them.
You can use RSA1---> Transport Connection to collect the objects easily to TR's

I want to create an applescript/automator tool to launch the "Add to library" command in iTunes with a specific path. Need process under the hood

I want to create an applescript/automator tool to launch the "Add to library" command in iTunes with a specific path. I need to know what process is run under the hood to create such a script.
To put you in context, I have an NFS mount point with all my music and with the "add to library" command, I can add more music to the folder and update iTunes without dragging the individual folders or the whole mount point and avoid having the songs show up as doubles.
Anyone know what OS/Unix process is being called for such a command?

Creating new report category in Abap HR

When I try and create a new custom report category, I get a message saying "Choose the key from the allowed namespace". I did use a Z report category (we do have Z report categories that have been created earlier by somebody else). It would be great if somebody could list the steps to create a new report category. By the way, I would just want to keep just the personnel number (PNPPERNR) in the selection option.
I did try using SM30 to create a new entry but got the same message as above.
Thanks.

Please HELP join these 2 iTunes folders in Windows 7 preserving album artwork & tags (discussion reply requested)

(Discussion Reply Requested ) Please HELP join these 2 iTunes folders in
Windows 7 preserving album artwork & "tags"
I have searched and not found an up to date understandable answer as how
to join 2 working portable same (apple ID) user iTunes folders into one itunes folder
while above all else preserving hand edited Abum Artwork and hand edited tags.
( It was many hours of hand edited added Album Artwork and editing of tags )
Situation is Windows 7 ( 64 bit ) with current iTunes installed ( 2014-03-17 )
The hard drive crashed and the old \iTunes folder and all old contents have been copied and backed up.
The windows 7 64 bit and latest iTunes 64 bit has been re-installed cleanly ( no old music added )
Music from the iTunes cloud was then added/downloaded into iTunes
Now \itunes has 40 gig of music available to play.
Now I want to join the currently installed working \itunes folder ( 40 gig of music )
with the old saved \itunes folder ( 100 gig of music ) into just one \iTunes folder
with preserving the current Album Artwork and editing of "tags" of both folders.
I have seen previous answers that use words like " consolidate " , " export / import ",
" merge " , " apple home sharing " , " use explorer to copy ..." , ect
none of which mentioned if the current Album Artwork
or tags survive unchanged from their current "specially edited" status.
I know their may be the ineviatable "duplicates", but there seems
to be several ways to handle them. ( If you know the best way to
prevent or remove duplicates in this situation with joining two
iTunes folders in Windows please include that information also ).
Please provide an explanation of how to join these 2 iTunes folders
in Windows 7 into one \iTunes folder while preserving Album Artwork and tags.

Mike, thanks for the response. I will try this. I'll have to dig around here too, bc I want to know more about how I can import a windows xml file (while replacing the drive paths) and it creating a seperate itunes library with the pointers on the mac. Essentially, I have 2 libraries and there may not be a way around this with a windows machine and a mac - ive read plenty on Choose library on open, and mac to mac, windows to windows.
I also need to know more about what is getting stored in the album art folders. I believe it seems that when you select all, and copy the image in the artwork get info page its actually embedding these images in the files themselves, but if you paste into the left bottom artwork display pane its just adding where?? If I deleted the contents of this folder what would happen, should I not be copying this content?
If I update the images on the mac and swap out the drive paths and move the external drive back to the windows box, will i lose any updates I did while on the mac?
Good suggestion though, I'll try this out.
