Organizing Applications in Applications Folder -- An Alternative Method

I know that the general advice for those looking to organize their applications better has been to create a subfolder somewhere, copy the aliases for all the applications to that folder, organize as desired, and then drop that folder onto the Dock. This strikes me a bit un-Mac OS Xy.
Well, I happened upon an alternative method that suits me much better. It is hinted at in another thread, but for the life of me I can't find it again. So here goes:
I press Command+I on my applications in Finder, then
Click Spotlight Comments, then
Type in a category for the application.
After I label all my applications,
I create a Smart Folder with
the search criteria based on the Spotlight comments I just entered.
The Smart Folder appears in the left pane of the Finder window.
I select the Smart Folder and see my organized applications.
Voilà!
I don't necessarily care about being able to select them straight from the Dock.

Nice idea, but I'm a little unclear which metadata I should use in the Smart Folder search. I don't see an item that specifically looks in the Spotlight Comments. I tried using "Comment" but that doesn't seem to work.

MIssing folder Library/Application Support/iCal folder

Hope this is in the correct discussion!
This folder is missing from my MBP. On Time Machine, I can't find it and have gone back to March 2012 when TM starts.
Does it create itself and what data would it hold?
I've lost all my iCal calendars and have a back up at 18/7/12. I've restored Library/Calendars but the entries don't show up in iCal. I'm told I need to restore Library/Application Support/iCal folder, but it's not there.
I've created a current entry (in a new calendar) but still no Library/Application Support/iCal folder.
Should I be trying to create it manually, somehow I don't think so?
Thanks for any help.

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Keynote/Themes/ as the path.

Can I install applications in a folder other than Applications?

If I do, will items still be created in my Library correctly?

If an applications has an installer, then allow the installer to choose the location, and leave the application where it was installed. I also trongly suggest against moving an application from its installed location, expecially any Apple provided applications.
If the installer has an explicit option to choose an install location, then feel free to choose your own location.
If the application just needs to be dragged and dropped into a folder, then also feel free to choose where you want to store the applications (even if the .dmg has an alias to the Applications folder, you can still store the application where you want).
If what you want is a collection of frequently used applications, then create a folder, and place Mac OS X Aliases of the desired applications in that folder (Option-Command-Drag is an easy way to create an alias). You can then place that folder on your Dock, and using Control-Click, configure how the Dock displays the folder contents.

File explorer application and reader folder xperia

can you please explain what and where these are and how to access them, thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi
I think there’s no “file explorer application and reader folder xperia”!
There’s only an app named “File transfer”…
or you can use “file explorers” of other apps (like OfficeSuite, if available, to navigate on folders…)
The only real solution, is to download an app from Play Store.
I use “File Manager”(Explorer) or “File Manager HD”(Tablet) (Rhythm Software) free.

Application-to-application authentication using Calendar Web Services

Calendar Web Services
Application-to-application authentication
(Proxy authentication)
Abstract:
Application-to-application authentication allows services to trust other services without having to authenticate the end-user making use of these services. The Calendar Web Services offers an application-to-application authentication mechanism called âProxy Authenticationâ.
What is Proxy Authentication?
The Calendar Web Services Proxy Authentication is a solution that was developed by the Oracle Calendar team and is similar to what SSO would be to the web. Proxy Authentication allows any application developed using the Calendar Web Services Toolkit to establish a trusted authentication link to the Calendar Server via the Calendar Web Services.
What do I need to get Proxy Authentication going?
-     The Calendar Web Services Toolkit 9.0.4.2.X (Calendarlet.jar)
-     The Calendar Web Services 9.0.4.2.X (OCAS)
-     The Calendar Server 9.0.4.2.X (Calserv)
-     Oracle Internet Directory 9.0.4.X (OID)
Your collaboration suite deployment MUST be configured in a way where the Calendar Server is connected to the OID (done by default). This is fundamental given that Proxy Auth is designed to extensively use the OID security schemes.
How to configure Proxy Authentication?
You must have:
1.     Access to the OID administrator account.
2.     Access to the ldap tools ($ORACLE_HOME/ldap/bin).
3.     Access to the Oracle Calendar Server administrator password.
OID Configuration
Create an entry for your application product in OID
The following entry needs to be created:
- cn=OracleContext
- cn=Products
- cn=MyApplicationProduct
The MyApplicationProduct.ldif will look like:
dn: cn= MyApplicationProduct, cn=Products, cn=OracleContext
objectClass: orclContainer
objectClass: top
The command to add the entry is
./ldapadd -h HOSTNAME.COM -p OIDPORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w PASSWROD -f ./MyApplicationProduct.ldif
Where [HOSTNAME.COM] is the OID server hostname, [PASSWROD] is the password for the OID directory and [OIDPORT] is the OID port.
Create an application entity for MyAppName in OID
The following entry needs to be added to the OID:
- cn=OracleContext
- cn=Products
- cn= MyApplicationProduct
- orclApplicationCommonName=MyAppName
The MyAppName.ldif will look like:
dn: orclApplicationCommonName= MyAppName,
cn= MyApplicationProduct, cn=Products,
cn=OracleContext
objectClass: orclApplicationEntity
objectClass: top
orclApplicationCommonName: MyAppName
userpassword: test1
The command to add the entry is
./ldapadd -h HOSTNAME.COM -p OIDPORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w PASSWORD -f ./MyAppName.ldif
Ensure the entry is properly configured
Perform an LDAP search to locate the entry's distinguished name:
"orclApplicationCommonName= MyAppName,
cn= MyApplicationProduct, cn=Products,
cn=OracleContext"
./ldapsearch -h HOSTNAME.COM -p OIDPORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w PASSWROD
-b "cn= MyApplicationProduct,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext"
"objectclass=orclApplicationEntity" "c"
Grant proxy privileges to the new application entity
This creates an entry in OID:
- dc=com
- dc=oracle
- dc=us
- cn=OracleContext
- cn=Products
- cn=Calendar
- cn=UserProxyPrivilege
- uniquemember:
orclApplicationCommonName= MyAppName,
cn= MyApplicationProduct, cn=Products,
cn=OracleContext
From the $ORACLE_HOME/ocal/bin
./unioidconf -grantproxyprivilege \
"orclApplicationCommonName= MyAppName,
cn= MyApplicationProduct, cn=Products,
cn=OracleContext"
NOTE: you need the calendar server admin password.
How to use Proxy Authentication?
Once successfully done configuring your OID and Calendar Server, you must start the real work; coding. It is actually simple to implement.
In your Java application, you will simply change the BasicAuth class with the ProxyAuth class. You then set the end-user identity, along with the proxy application name and proxy application password, you registered a moment ago.
Ex:
ProxyAuth auth = new ProxyAuth();
auth.setApplicationName("orclApplicationCommonName=MyAppName, cn=MyApplicationProduct, cn=Products, cn=OracleContext");
auth.setApplicationPassword(âtest1â);
auth.setName(myUserId);
Your application will no longer need to pass the end-userâs password to the Calendar Web Services. From now on, it is your applicationâs responsibility to authenticate the end-user.

I found the solution:
Using the CalendaringResponse.getReceiveBuffer() and getSendBuffer() methods, the soap request looks something like this:
Sendbuffer: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<auth:ProxyAuth xmlns:auth="http://www.oracle.com/WebServices/Calendaring/Authentication/1.0/"><ApplicationName>orclApplicationCommonName=MyAppName,cn=MyApplicationProduct, cn=Products, cn=OracleContext</ApplicationName><ApplicationPassword>testpw1</ApplicationPassword><Name>king</Name></auth:ProxyAuth>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>

i have followed the steps given in the index.html carefully.i face no problems in compiling the files.
here is the brief of the steps i have followed:
java_home=c:\jdk1.2.2
jws_home=c:\javawebserver2.0
added the following packages to the classpath:classes.zip,serlet.jar,classes111.zip,xmlparserv2.jar,classgen.jar,mail.jar,oraclexmlsql.jar,aqapi.jar,jndi.jar
<xmla2adir> = c:\B2B\xmla2a
copied the XMLAPPDIR\xmla2a\a2a files to JWS_Home\public_html
was able to successfully complie the application in the order given in index.html
added the servlets to the java web server successfully
But while running the application i got the above stated problem.
I hope these steps will help u track down my line of action and help me out.
thanks

You're not missing anything - it sounds like it's working perfectly.
If a provider is affiliated with a partner application, the provider is automatically authenticated when you authenticate to the portal - because it is also a partner application. You only need to authenticate yourself once.
Now, when you go to the partner application, the application session cookie that was created by the provider is passed to the partner application & so you are not challenged.
Now, if you close your browser and access the partner application first, the login server will challenge you. When you subsequently go to the portal, you will not be challenged - the portal contacts the login server behind the scenes, determines you have already authenticated yourself and proceeds as if you had logged in.
When you visit the partner provider portlet, it will detect the cookie created by the partner application and use that to tie into the same session.
This is the whole point of single sign on.

which means suppose i need to add CUSTOM_TOP, i have to add following entry in top.txt file right..
CUST /sidapp/sidappl
Customised environment variables can be added to AutoConfig by using the filename specificed by s_custom_file, which is then called from theAPPSORA.env file. If using Forms Listener Servlet, you may also need to add $CUSTOM_TOP to formsservlet.ini in $APACHE_TOP/Jserv/etc
can anybody explain wats the meaning of above sentence....

Problem while importing the application in application express 3.0

Hi Friends
We have developed an application in a workspace say X. I imported the complete application in different workspace Y and the import was successfully. Now if I export a single page from that application in workspace X and import in workspace Y, then it gives me error as
"This page was exported from a different application or from an application in different workspace. Page cannot be installed in this application."
Also I tried changing the application id in the export file but did not work.
Is their a workaround for this?
(We are using application express 3.0.0.00.20)
Thanks
Minakshi

Hi Scott
1 ) Page exports are to be imported into an application having the same ID as the source application in the same named worskpace.
But the problem is I cannot have same application id in the same workspace or in different workspaces even. I exported the complete application from workspace X with application id as 555 and tried importing the application in workspace Y with the same application id. But that does not work since it throws the error message as the same application id cannot reside in 2 different workspaces.
2) You don't say whether workspaces X and Y are in the same or different databases.
Both the workspaces X and Y are in the same database. The database user/schema that is associated with workspaces X and Y are different.
3) Also I tried changing the application id in the export file but did not work.
Following is the extract of the page that i tried importing. The places wherever it is marked BOLD, i modified them in the original page export sql file.
--application/set_environment
prompt APPLICATION 500 - Load_Factor_System
-- Application Export:
-- Application: 500
-- Name: Load_Factor_System
