Newbie: start a widget

Hi there,
I'm completely new to widgets, and my question will look like a silly one, but here it is:
How can I start a widget?
It looks like SAP Widget Foundation has been successfully installed on my computer, and I also started a JCO instance (and connection test was successful)
But: when I download a Widget, I get a .widget file. What am I supposed to do with this file? I can't either uncompress it nor start it with JRE.
So? Where's the trick?
Thanks and best regards,
David.

hi,
You need to install Yahoo widget engine also....

Error while Installing and Starting SAP Widget Development Tools

Hi All,
I have downloaded Eclipse: eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.2-200802211800/eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip
I am following the link: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c032ae0a-7d6b-2a10-14a1-cc6efb066dfc
for Installing and Starting SAP Widget Development Tools as an Eclipse Plug-in
I am very new to it, So I was following Step by Step procedure.
On the 16th step I am getting an error:
AP Widget Templates (0.12.0.1167) requires feature "org.eclipse.gef (3.3.0)", or equivalent.
I had download the SAP Widget Development Tools.zip file from https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloads?rid=/webcontent/uuid/b03b6544-c741-2a10-8999-ed04eb2b2c71
While unzipping the eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip, there were two errors:
The System cannot find the file specified &
The file name or extension is too long.
I ignored them and continued the unzipping.
Please guide me as to how we can solve this error.

Is it because I am using Eclipse 3.3.2 and not 3.3.0? If yes from where I can download Eclipse 3.3.0
Edited by: ankur malhotra on Jul 25, 2008 7:36 AM

Hi Ankur,
This happens sometimes because of the Eclipse that you use. Download the Eclipse JEE Version. When you go to eclipse.org and try to download eclipse you can do a comparision of the versions there, You download the version which supports all the web features.
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/ganymeder
Check the above link you will be able to see the package details. Please download this Java IDE for EE developers and try installing the SAP widgets foundation then, If you are facing any problems in installing the plugins thru local archived site please let me know.
Regards,
Sai

Newbie: Starting an Oracle Database on Linux

I am doing support for an Oracle Database installed on Red Hat. My problem is that I do not know how to start the oracle database. I had to reboot the Linux box and the database did not restart.
What do I need to do to start the database?
Also the Linux does not have the GUI installed, I am working from the command prompt.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Ray

if u are using oracle 8i, you can use de command:
$svrmgrl
svrmgrl> startup;
if u are using 9i:
$sqlplus /nolog
sqlplus>connect /as sysdba;
sqlplus> startup;
Hope this helps.

Play arrow button at the start of widget and movie.

Is there a way to hide the initial play arrow image that appears on a widget or movie? I'd like to have an animated html or movie placed over part of an identical matching background. So its a puzzle like approach, i.e. the user would not be aware of the hidden movie untill the image is actually clicked over...
Thanks

The point is consistency and building trust with your users. It's in Apple's interest as a company, your interest as an author and your user's interest as readers.
'think different' doesn't mean a junked up product just because everyone wants their ideas added to the pile.
Feel free to make an app and risk rejection based on not applying the UI as illustrated in the HIGs, and as always, use iBA's feedback menu for things you'd like to see in the future.
Good luck.

Newbie Starting from Scratch! Need help!

Hello!
We have been working toward activating for the public our iTunesU presence. The goal was to have the site public on the iTunes Store this week, which is the week of our inauguration of our new President of the university. So, the past months have found us designing graphics, generating content, and we are at long last ready to move this project to the public.
My background is in digital imaging, and I do have experience in site work and network administration, but I'm far from a web expert, so could use all the help and hand holding possible! One other concern is that I noted that it can take 2-4 weeks for activation of the public link on iTunes, which contradicts what I've been told in the past by Apple.. I just thought that once I clicked the public button that the site was live. Since our goal is to have this working this weekend for next week's events, I'm more then a little concerned. So, any advice on this would be welcome.
We aren't starting off with courses, but just a small set of content. 3-4 video interviews about Pop Art, an Audio Interview (Robert Moog), and a lesson on Jazz Drumming. We have artworks finished, and files ready to upload. So, trying to understand a simple, yet easy way to present the material.
That is where I'm not totally understanding the site hierarchy, and the best way to approach it conceptually. Lastly, is there anyone that I can call to talk through some of these issues?
We are excited to finally bring this project to fruition, and thanks for your help. Reading your posts and answers has been great!

Or am i better off just Modifying it?
Those setting are easy to recreate, so deleting it doesn't cost you much effort.
the guy thought that my iMac might get confused as to which connection i want it to default to -- ie the hardwired ethernet cable or the wireless network
If you don't want to sure you're not going to use AirPort you can either turn it off or use a "location" that doesn't have an AirPort connection item.
i can set what priority the iMac will conduct its seacrh for internet -- and assuming the ethernet wire is functioning -- then it will default there and only attempt a wireless connection if the ethernet cable fails for some reason
I have Ethernet first and AirPort second. Since my last reboot 99.95% of the network traffic is using the Ethernet port.
otherwise - does it sound like based upon my flow chart that what i want to achieve is possible to you?
Yes. There might be some subtle considerations given that your two AirPort base stations are connected via Ethernet, although I'm sure there's more than one way to configure your equipment. There are people around with more experience with that sort of thing than I have who might be able to offer their advice.

Newbie starting a database app need direction/suggestions

I've been mucking about with C# and SQL databases for some time now and I've decided its time to try a serious project. I want to create an application for managing on the job training at work. I have played around the last week with SQLCE and making
little experimental databases to learn more about relational databases. I have a rudimentary understanding oF RDBMS(wouldn't go so far as to say basic), I know how to do simple queries, subqueries, basic joins, and I've even played with triggers a bit (in
MSSSEE).
I could probably make a go of this project and make something work but I figured since its a pretty basic (to an expert anyway) I'd probably be better off going to the community for direction and advice (not to get people to code for me). I've partially planned
out how to set up the database and I'd like to describe what I've come up with so more knowledgable folks can tell me if its a good or bad path to follow and perhaps point me in a better direction for the bad parts. I'd rather understand what I'm doing and
learn the proper ways than simply say "can someone write this for me?".
Anyway, I thought a lot about what this app needs to do and did a few experimental projects where I realized even more things that it needs to do. I think I have the requirements just about covered.
Some training happens only once, some (by law or policy) have to be repeated periodically, some need a subset redone due to movement of an employee from one job or facility to another where some, but not all, of the previous training needs to be redone (machinery
operator moving to a different plant with the same function but different systems would have to relearn the system specifics). Some subjects apply to all employees and others to very few.
The most basic function is to let supervisors assign training tasks to employees and track their progress but the application also needs to alert a supervisor of upcoming due dates for assigned training and upcoming re-do dates for the periodic training. In
some cases, like with mandatory periodic training, it could (should?) initiate assignment rather than wait for a supervisor to remember to assign the training manually.
The application could be set up to have every bit of training for a job class organized under that job class but I think it would be more flexible to organize around a specific skill or area of duty.
For example, an ice rink worker needs to know how to operate the refrigeration plant, operate the ice-resurfacer (generically called the Zamboni), perform emergency duties (fire, earthquake, chemical leak, etc), and several other areas of knowledge. One area/skill
would be to operate refrigeration plant, another would be Emergeny response. Each of these would be a training "topic". Many topics would be applicable to mutiple job classes which is why they are under a seperate table from books.
Each topic would be broken down into focused steps - small bite sized chunks that the employee would learn then be tested on that knowledge. As each step is completed the examiner (supervisor or "expert" in that field) marks the step as completed
and records that in the application (might be a weekly or monthly hand-in of books to record progress).
Each job would have several topics they have to know so the topics are organized in what I've ingeniously decided to call a "book" (talk about imaginative!). We have areas where a person in a job class actually has a different knowledge requirement
than the same job class in another area. There are commonalities of course but I don't think it would be good to have every person in a job class expected to complete training in something they aren't doing and in many cases will never be required to do in
their entire career.
So a book would something like Arena Operation, Boiler Operation, WHMIS, or Emergency Response. A job class would be assigned several "books" to cover all the areas of knowledge they require.
Now to kick off thinking about actual database design.
The training definitions would be in three tables: Books, Topics, and Objectives. A book has multiple topics and a topic has multiple objectives.
The book table would have an int primary key, a title field, a longer description field (explaining the aim of the book in some way), a time to complete field (add to assignment date to get a due date), a repeatability field (The values here would indicate
a one shot, can repeat, or must repeat), and a repeat frequency field (how long before it has to be repeated - might be a date or a datediff, haven't figured that out yet).
The topics table would have an ID primary key, a title, and another longer description field for information specific to that topic.
The objectives table would had an ID primary key, a Topic foreign key, a short description, a long description, a "given" field outlining what the trainee needs and a "denied" field outlining what the trainee can't have (no drawings allowed
when your describing a system).
Later on I want the program to be able to print shirt pocket sized booklets for trainees that contains short descriptions and larger OJT manuals that have all the details that trainees can refer to.
The next table needed would be the employees table. I think the obvious ID field, first and last name fields - possibly an initials field (in case of identical first and last names), and possibly a "deleted" field for employees that leave (don't want
to actually delete them in case they come back at some later date). If not a deleted field then a "former" employee table that an employee is copied to when they leave.
Several relations tables would be created when a book is assigned to an employee. I haven't quite figured out exactly what to use which is why I chose now to post this. Some direction from here could save a lot of headache later. The relations tables would
contain only "current" books - ones that are still in progress.
I was thinking of EmployeeBook, BookTopic, and TopicObjective.
EmployeeBook would have EmployeeID and BookID, a date field for the assigned date and another date field for the due date. I had thought of just due date or just assigned date and a time allowed but I think it might be simpler to have both dates specified.
I'd also thought of making a unique key on EmployeeID and BookID but quickly realized some books may have to be assigned many times (WHMIS etc).
BookTopics would have a primary key of BookID and TopicID - cant think of any more fields here.
TopicObjective would have TopicID and ObjectiveID as well as a status field (three values - not complete, complete, not applicable) and an examiner ID field (for who signed off on the objective).
Once a book is completed I was thinking of deleting it from the relational tables and creating an entry in an archive table - no relations, everything would be the full text so if the training data is changed it won't change the completed training records.
The indexes would be whole names and any reporting would have to be grouped by book name, topic name, etc.
So thats the general idea. I'd dearly love any suggestions or advice people have. What sounds reasonable to me might be recognized as a fool's errand by someone with actual competence in database programming. I'll work on specifics once I know I'm not running
full tilt without a flashlight down a blind alley in the dark.
Thanks for getting through the entire post 8)

Hi Ghidera,
From my point of view, there is no need to design the BookTopic table. You can create a EmployeeID filed in the TopicObjective table, then
create a foreign key on the column EmployeeID
and reference the column EmployeeID in the EmployeeBook
table. Also you need to create foreign key relation from EmployeeBook table to Employees table and Books table.
Besides, you should create a foreign key on a column in Topics table and reference the column ID in the Books table.
Thanks,

Need some advice - Newbie starting an advertising business..

Hello,
I am new to Indesign, having used quark previously.
Basically i print and publish an advertisment magazine. I create these advertisements from scratch or in some cases from logos i am sent by the clients via email.
I need to understand whether the logo's sent by the clients need to be in a certain format in order for them to be used in Indesign?
How difficult is it to manipulate imported images using indesign?
Thanks
Don

Indesign supports quite an array of image formats, the most common illustator/photoshop .eps files .tif png. jpg. If your printing as you know .eps files are probably the best to use.
Well I have always been lead to believe they are.
If your putting together a set of guidelines for your client I would say you request files are either supplied as illustrator .eps files or photshop .eps/psd files with a PDF for back up/reference. If you have the native files you can then edit the files accordingly if the client wishes.
I used Quarkxpress for years 4.0 being the best to mind.
After that it became bloatware and found it diffiicult to get along with. CS is a dream to use as all Photoshop/Indesign and illustrator
utilise a very similar intuitive interface.
I would also recommned lynda.com for tutorials in the creative suite. You get videos and exercise files to work with so you can learn at your own pace.
Only ever havinig owned the DVDs I have never had a subscription. I'm sure there is a forum for feedback or anything that you do not understand.
As well as the Adobe Forums.

Hello,
I hope everyone is well? I received an invitation and when I opened the link it said that I need another invitation? I have done my payment. In the creative photography plan it stated that I get Lightroom, but when I downloaded it, it only gave me an option for a trial. Photoshop did download.
Can anyone please be as kind as to advise me on the above? And I need to know where I can download vectors, actions and things like that please.

SAP widget foundation doesn't start after installation

Experts,
I'm trying to run the SAP Widget Foundation application as a stand-alone.
I have installed the application using SAPWidgetFoundation.jar found through the following link (download package):
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/widget-foundation#section2
After installation or when clicking the appliication in the start menu, it should start and display a tray icon. No tray icon is displayed and I don't think it's even running at all.
I am running Java Version 1.6.0_13, Windows XP Pro SP3, Yahoo Widgets 4.5.2
The following lines are saved to the log when attempting to start the Widget Foundation.
10:14:44 [ INFO][main](ApplicationStarter:90) - [Nr:1][94][since:109(1242720883921)]msec: Check single instance

Does anyone have an idea what I may be missing here?

Hi Olivier,
When you tried to install SAP Widget Foundation as standalone application following SAP Widget Foundation User's Guide - [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20e64a36-6f34-2a10-0bbb-aeac6101b93c], did you get the installation result saying "SAP Widget Foundation installed successfully"?
If you got the success message, then try this:
Actually when you go to Start Menu -> Programs->SAP Widget Foundation and click there, a Batch file starts to run, which inturn displays the icon on the tray.
What you could do is, Go to the location where you have installed the SAP Widget Foundation, usually C:ProgramFilesSAP Widget Foundaiton and double click on the "run.bat" file. This may work.
If you did not get the success message, then there would have been some problem during installation, you could uninstall and re install it again.
Let me know if this works.

Shilpa B.V

What do you have so far? Have you exposed the functions as Web Services or created a new web service for the data?
Have you started the widget and finished putting it all together and are just needing help on the actually connecting of the two?
Let us know where you are and what the problem is and we can help you from there - I'm sure you do not want us to just do it for you - you don't learn that way so let us know where you are and we will jump in to help you get past the current problem.

Web Widget issue -- small but would like to fix it

I don't know how many people use the Web Widget but I use it all the time. Mainly displaying web pages -- but I get to them locally for speed. I think the best widget for C5.
However it seems that when the widget hits a certain size a weird behavior happens. Let me give you an example. I have a project that will reference a website using the web widget -- the web widget is almost the entire screen on an 800x600 (the issue happens whether I use the web page or local file option). It works great EXCEPT, the web widget properties window briefly flashes (what you see in captivate on the slide).
So the user sees this nannosecond weird flash (web widget properties but its so fast you cant tell) and then the website. Now if the user goes back to the slide the website is already cached so you don't see the "flash". I tried starting the widget further into the slide but that doesn't help. Also I know that nothing can be placed over an iFrame so I didn't try to hide the first half second... Any thoughts or remedies?
thanks
Dave

Jim
The widget is great. You have willing paying customers for any future web widget.
thanks
Dave

Widget browser not responding (freezing)

Hi im using windows 8 and everytimge i try and start the widget browser i et as far as trying to sign in then the clock stops moving and it wont go any further, ive tried reinstalling and compatability settings but its just the same it stops when it tries to login but some times it does not even get this far and them i cant close it down even from th task manager and i have to restart the laptop.

I think I got the answer. This problem is related to Microsoft JVM. Microsoft has a problem regarding some application does not repsonde is there is Microsoft VM installed. Below is the link for the details
When opening a site that uses Java, Internet Explorer or other browsers installed onto Windows XP, may Stop Responding or Produce a white screen
SYMPTOMS Internet Explorer or other browsers installed onto Windows XP, may halt or shut down, when browsing a site that uses Java and or Microsoft Java Virtual Machine
CAUSE
The most common cause is that multiple java installations are conflicting by trying to execute at the same time, or have mixed installations from Microsoft and/or Sun Microsystems

Widget Manager won't let me enable widgets.

Every time I open the widgets bar, it shows all disabled but about four. At some point I used Widget Manager to disable the others, but now when I try to turn them on, the manager won't allow me. In fact, when the WM loads it shows under Computer Widgets all active, but when I mouseover them, the buttons turn grey, showing off. When I click on one to activate it, the message that comes up says, "Widget could not be enabled. You must have Administrator privileges to alter widgets in the Computer category."
I am the only user and the Administrator of this machine. Why can't I alter these? And in the User category, even if I click on the button and it shows active, it still shows the widget as disabled and it won't open.
How can I make my widgets work. And if someone could point me to an explanation of the different layers here (computer, user) and how I can manage them together, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks, Tonia

I take it you're referring to this Widget manager and not the one that came with the 10.4.2 update. If that's so:
The difference between the Computer and User sections would normally be dependent on whether the widget files are stored in HD/Library/Widgets or HD/Users/<username>/Library/Widgets. The first, being owned by the system, would require an admin password to make changes to enclosed files.
Since there is a Widget manager built into Tiger (accessed throught the Widgets widget or the "Manage Widgets" button above the Dashboard bar, it would probably be easier to use that one instead of the third party downloaded widget. Even you choose to continue using the same one, you should make sure that settings in the Widgets widget are not conflicting or the cause for your problems.
If all else fails, try trashing the preference file for your widget manager in <username>/Library/Preferences/ The filename should start with widget-com.
