Opening a directory in a different system

How do I write code to open a directory in system which is not the one where my application is deployed?

Premiere timeline won't redraw properly after opening project on different system

I've been seeing an issue (for quite some time now) where if I'm working a job on two different edit systems (usually with duplicate media or using a shuttle drive for mobile editing) that when I open the project on the "other" system the timeline won't redraw properly and looks like the attached image. The edit is there and the system will play the timeline but it's unusable as you can't work.
I've found that some combination of duplicating the sequence and/or quit and restart might fix it. Importing the sequence to another project will too. A talk about this on twitter with other editors who have seen this says a relink to the media will fix it. I used to think that was a problem of using Dropbox to store a PPro project files was the culprit but it happens when I use a shuttle drive to keep the same project on two computers in sync for editing on one or the other.
Anyone else? Any solutions?

Hi Scott,
I've been seeing an issue (for quite some time now) where if I'm working a job on two different edit systems (usually with duplicate media or using a shuttle drive for mobile editing) that when I open the project on the "other" system the timeline won't redraw properly and looks like the attached image. The edit is there and the system will play the timeline but it's unusable as you can't work.
Yes, I have seen issues here in support when users transport their projects from one system to another via a portable hard drive. It's very weird behavior and I'm investigating the issue. What you might try is a different method of transporting those projects, like a different drive, etc.
I will add this issue to my report. Feel free to file a bug report here.
Thanks,

Firefox 3 - Gnome Shortcut opens home directory?

Interesting change, and I don't know whether it's a bug, config option, or difference in the new firefox that gnome doesn't know about...but when I use my keyboard shortcut to open "Minefield," (I have it set as CTRL+ALT+F) it will open but will not display my homepage. Instead, it displays my home folder.
Anyone else seeing this? What's the fix?

I, too, experienced this problem after upgrading to Firefox 3. If I remember correctly, I also encountered the issue at some point with Firefox 2 on Ubuntu (before my switch to Arch). In both cases, I fixed the problem by changing my preferred web browser (as you described, except without deleting the ~/.mozilla directory).
On my system, at least, it seems that running firefox will execute /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox:
$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
$ ls -l /usr/bin/firefox
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2008-06-21 19:02 /usr/bin/firefox -> /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox
I'm not quite sure why this occurs. I suppose that the two methods of execution interpret the "%s" differently for some reason. Perhaps there's something odd about executing a symlink (in this case, causing Firefox to behave properly) or -- alternatively -- a problem with explicitly executing something in /usr/lib? (The latter doesn't seem like it would be correct, but this situation brings it to mind.) It could simply be the case that the interpretation of "%s" depends on the directory in which the executed firefox resides....
EDIT: It seems that someone else has had issues starting Firefox 3; however, they seem to have had an almost opposite problem....

InDesign crashes every time you double click to open an .indd file on Windows system

InDesign crashes every single time you double click to open an InDesign file and has done so since replacement of the original version of InDesign introduced in the Creative Cloud launch. Does anyone else have this problem? I'd say it was unique to my system if I hadn't experienced the issue repeatedly on several different systems now. You have to relaunch InDesign which then opens the file from recovery, so it saw the file you tried to launch in the first place. This leads me to believe the problem lies with the file association registry of InDesign inside Windows systems. I find it unbelievable that this problem still exists and remains unreported and that a solution hasn't been implemented by Adobe to rectify the issue.
The double click is a fundamental tenant of opening files on a Windows system in the same way a single click is on a Mac. Does InDesign crash ever time a Mac user clicks to open their files, I think not.
Anyone got any ideas other than the obvious which is Adobe actually got their figure out and fixed it.
Cheers,
Pat Doyle

Hi Michael,
I'll give it a go. Don't really like messing with the registry on Windows boxes. Yes you can do it, but it can end up being a case of the operation was a success, but the patient died.
Just was rather hoping someone else had already experienced this problem and posted the registry tweak. Didn't want spend hours reinventing the wheel. Not because I'm lazy, but I have so many demands on my time that resolving a minor issue that effects me only seems like it should be pretty low priority.
The system I'm using is brand new, but the problem seems to have followed me regardless which may indicate that it is seated in my synchronization information somehow. Really don't know how that could happen as I'm not an Adobe engineer or have the remotest idea where to even start looking. So I think I'll mark your suggestion as the "Answer" and just learn to live with it.
Windows eh! Can't live with - can't live without it. I'm sure Mac can be just as temperamental. Just have to chalk this one up as being just another ghost in the machine.
Thanks for all the advice you have kindly offered, much appreciated.
Cheers,

Which shortcut key to open a directory or file in Finder?

I found that when I highlight a directory or file and then click "Enter", it actually highlight the file name and then allow me to rename the file.
In XP, it is a normal way to open a directory and file. So I guess there should be a different way to do so in Mac.
Instead of double click the directory or file, is there any shortcut key in Mac to achieve so?
boycemac

Depending on how you are viewing things in Finder, just
clicking on a directory will open it. I tend to use the "paned"
view and this is how it works.
If you are using a "list" view, then double clicking does the
job. Are you looking for a short-cut to use instead of the
double click? Command-O "opens" things but I must confess
I have never used it on a directory.

I want to open a directory only not a file

Hai
have a peace day.
I have a question. I'm looking for a dialog box where the user can browse for a directory. All I can find is a dialog box where you can open a file.
Is there one to open a directory? If not, how can I solve this so the user can select a directory?
Thanks.

yes man
sorry for wrong information
do u any sample code
i tried but i can't get it
this is my code

Best methods for bringing media to a different system

I'm usually an Avid guy, and I am doing a FCP project that involved media that was digitized on a different system. I started a new project and imported the folder with the media and it came in just fine, but I now get an "Out of Memory" error after playing just a few clips. I've got a dual 2g G5 w/3 gigs of ram, so I guess I don't understand, any help would be appreciated.

Jeff
glad helped you get over the first issue. This next isnt quite so simple. yes, I understand that according to many who've tried it, 4.5 wont open an FCP 5 project sadly. But, if you haven't done too much work on the project in 5 other than perhaps digitise the clips, why dont you try making a new project in 4.5 and simply import or drag the clips into your 4.5 project browser, they should play surely as they're just QT files. You should not have to re -log and capture. FYI in case there's a misunderstanding ...if say you have twenty clips on one drive, in this case an external, and you want to bring them into a porject which may be on another drive, and you drag or import as above to get them into the project, this only happens in the virtual sense. It doesnt physically affect the hard drive in a mjaor way - the clips do not get transferred, just previews I suppose one could call them. I'm sure many readers would like to know if you can get the clips into a 4.5 project. Pls let us know!

Single Webservice to perform more than 1 function in different systems

Hello,
Just to give a brief idea what i am trying to achieve is:
I want to create a Web Service which will do some operations in R/3 , some operations in SAP-CRM and some in a .Net System.
So lets say:
I have a portal from where my Sales order is getting created in CRM, and then some validations and availability check has to be performed in a .Net System and finally Delivery of that SO should be done in SAP R/3 .
So i need to create a Web Service which can perform these functions in different systems.
So how can i design my scenario.
We can manage this through creating RFC's in different systems and calling them but how about .net system and what if it has to be done through Web Service approach only.
All inputs are most welcome.
Regards,
Mayank

Hi Mayank,
The best approach to follow would depend entirely on what solutions you have in your system ladnscape. It's a bit of an open ended question. I think you're complicating it though.
Unless your mandate is specifically to use web services & there is a reqyurement for real-time communication, I would use RFC's all around, even for the .NET portion, see more info on making RFC calls to .NET using the SAP .NET Connector (SMP Login required):
[https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000719347&]
This way you will ensure delivery (or retry mechanisms at the very least). You could also ensure delivery if all parties involved support WS-RM. If you specifically need use web service communication for the .NET call, you have some options like:
- RFC to SOAP call from SAP once the .NET connector is functioning.
- Generate a Service Consumer Proxy on the SAP side using the WSDL provided from the .NET developer (once the service is ready on their side) & trigger a service call as & when you need to.
If you need to use web serivce communication all around then you can do that as well (with some Abap Proxy Provider / Consumer dev work with some custom code OR you could use SAP Enterprise Services if available). It just means extra Abap development work when you already have all the tools (IDOCs etc.) to trigger RFC calls for all the SAP-to-SAP calls.

TMS cannot open the file on the different host

Hi!
I have very simple scenario: 2 Systems (DEV and PRD) on the different hosts which should be configured in the TMS.
I have done the following:
- I have changed the DIR_TRANS-parameter on the PRD-host and gave him the value of the DEV in the instance-profile. Unfottunately the error appiers "this folder does not exist"
If I do the transport group check I see the red points. This means I cannot open the file on the different host (e.g. from DEV on the PRD and opposite).
Should I set users manually or share the folder or something like this to give access for the TMS?
Thank you!

Opening a directory window on App Server?

I have a directory on my application server where Oracle Reports creates output files and I would like to have a button on a 10g form that opens this directory window. Anyone know how to do this?

Well, in Forms 6i you would use the Get_File_Name() built-in to open a File Dialog box (in Client/Server mode). While this built-in is still available in Forms 10g, it has been depricated and no longer functions. I tested it on my local machine and my Forms 10g form compiled. When I ran my test form through the Forms Builder it failed to open a file dialog box as I expected. There is no built-in way of opening a File Dialog on the Application Server (AS) as you are wanting to do. You would have to develop and implement a Java Bean to do this.
The bigger question is why do you want to do this? Exposing the AS file system to your user interface is not a good idea.
I have a directory on my application server where Oracle Reports creates output files and I would like to have a button on a 10g form that opens this directory window. I assume that you simply want to make previously run report available to a user. Unless your data is fairly static, this is not a good idea. It is always best to have the user rerun the report. If they want a static copy of the report they have run, they should save a local copy rather than try and get a copy of a report they previously ran on the AS.
Just my thoughts...
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Compare pricing procedures in 2 different systems ??

Hi All,
I know with T-Code SE39, we can compare ABAP program in 2 different systems, Likewise is there any Transaction Code where I can compare pricing procedures in 2 different system. or compare 2 different pricing procedures in same box.
Thank you,
madhu

Dear Madhu
May be you can try with this.
Go to V/08, select your pricing procedure and execute. From top menu bar, click on Table View --> Save. Again from top menu bar click on Table View --> Print so that you can see the overview of that pricing procedure.
Now parallely you can open another screen, select another pricing procedure and do the same process as above.
thanks

"Unable to open driver directory"

I have an HP OfficeJet G85xi AIO. I have been using the HP G731IN.dmg driver package, but found that if I had not used the printer for a while (using a laser for day-to-day cost control) that the printer would not function. I had to do a full re-install of the HP driver and its attendant load of undesirable ancillary software. I wanted to drop the HP driver and restore full functionality (scan to and through the computer, fax, print) and understood that the hpijs driver would accomplish this. I installed the 3.9.2 package, along with GPL Ghostscript, Foomatic-RIP, and, for good measure, the Gutenprint 5.2.4 package. I can choose the exact driver for my machine, but when I attempt to print, I get this message in the CUPS error log:[cups-driverd] Unable to open driver directory "/usr/libexec/cups/driver": No such file or directory. I have attempted numerous uninstall-re-installs, resetting the print system, installing from a test account, all to no avail. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Very strange. That is the first time I have seen that message. Even if the 'driver' directory was missing, the installation of the Gutenprint driver should have created it as Gutenprint installs a driver there. You must have used the hpijs driver when setting up your printer. The Gutenprint driver for your G85 would not be available as the Gutenprint driver file in the /usr/libexec/cups/driver directory would be needed to create that printer.
I suppose the first thing to try is to manually create the directory that cups-driverd wants. Open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities) and copy and paste the following command into the window:
<pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">sudo mkdir /usr/libexec/cups/driver</pre>
Hit the Return or Enter key. You will be prompted to enter your password. You will notice that nothing appears on the screen as you type in your password. This is normal. After you enter your password, hit Return or Enter again. That should create the directory. If you do not get any error messages, then copy and paste the next command into the Terminal window:
<pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">sudo chown root:wheel /usr/libexec/cups/driver
sudo chmod 755 /usr/libexec/cups/driver</pre>
Hit the Return or Enter key after each command.
Does that get rid of the error message?
Despite what you were told, neither the hpijs or the Gutenprint drivers support scanners. They are printer drivers only. If you want software other than that provided by HP for your scanner, you may want to try VueScan shareware at http://www.hamrick.com/.

Open network directory

Hi,
I have been stuck for a while and I cannot figure out how to open a directory on the network.
Here are the basics of what my iPad app will do.
Establish a connection with a Mac.
Open a directory on that Mac.
Find pictures (.jpg) in that directory and display it on the iPad.
I can find and establish a connection with the Mac using NSNetServiceBrowser and NSInputStream, but after that, I have no idea how to access any of the directories on the Mac. I've tried using NSFileHandle, NSURL, etc to try to open the directories, but nothing seems to work. I've verified that the directory I need to access is Shared on the network because I can access it from the my MacBook Pro.
Can someone please point me in the right direction, or provide sample code?
Thanks so much!
James

Hi Jame, thanks for the input.
No, I am not sure everything is properly configured with OD. This is an update from 10.6.8 server to 10.8 Server. Most things seem to be working - logins, email, calendars, file sharing, web, etc all seem to be going ok - at least for the few accounts that I have tested. I am able to run Workgroup Manager both from the server and from a macine on the same network, and I can lock and unlock the "LDAP Directory" with the administrator accounts - so it all SEEMS to be working fine.
Of course not knowing what is supposed to be happening is hampering my ability to make things happen....
When using Server.app at "Profile Manager" the software does say that Device Management is "Disabled" as I described. When I go to the Device Manager web interface I am able to log in as a system administrator and I can see all the users and groups as expected. When I log in as a non-admin I see a page for "My Devices". I have not set up any device profiles, but it certainly seems like I could.
What should I get if Device Management as "Enabled" rather than "Disabled"? Is OD already doing what it needs to and the "Disabled" indication is just Server.app not recognizing that everything is working?

Compare two queries of two different system.

Hello all,
I need to certify the some queries, the process we follow is as below.
1. The query will be created in Production system, we will transport back to Development server.
2. Compare the query (Characterstics, Key Figures and Definition), In other words I need to compare and validate each and every aspect of Query with the Development and Production.
3. I need to change the query if I find anything difference in Prod and Dev system.
4. Transport to the Production.
Here my problem is I'm comparing manually by opening RRMX in each of the system and each variable, its time consuming as it is a manual process there is a chance of missing some important. So I would like to know is there any way to compare the queries Prod and Dev server in easier way than manually.
I hope requirement is clear to you or else just let me know your concerns and thoughts on this.
Thanks in advance,
Umashankar

Umashankar,
I dont think there is an easy way to do this as you are asking for - however you can do a basic level comparison as to number of query ellements , variables that are there etc - this can be done using the table rszcompdir which has all the query elements of the query but then a direct one to onw comparison may not be possible since the query elements are identified by GUIDs which usually will be different across systems.
