Passing a Path string results in mangled name

So I have a script that I made that takes a bunch of PDFs from a folder, and puts the resulting PDF into DropBox's Public folder. So, the DropBox path is ~/ericdannewitz/Dropbox/Public/JulieanneMartin/ and the file name would be JuileAnne Martin - 08-30-2011.pdf
When I pass the string that has the whole name and path to Adobe Acrobat (current version), it contains this:
"HD:Users:ericdannewitz:Dropbox:Public:JulieAnneMartin:JulieAnne Martin - 08-30-2011.pdf"
Though when Acrobat saves it, it comes out in Dropbox as "JulieAnne Martin - 08-30-2011#0" sometimes.
Ideas? I just tested it again on another Mac, and it came out right, but the production machine kept leaving out the end part of the filename. Both versions of Acrobat, and OS X are the same (Acrobat X and 10.6.8).

That depends, what type of field are you inserting the string into? What you need to do is check the size of the field and the length of the string. If the length exceeds the field size, then you either need to increase the field size or, if you know you will be generally inserting very large strings, change the field to a clob. Hope this helps.

How to pass dynamically generated string value as array name in TestStand?

Hi All,
I have a string variable which holds an array name as its value. The string value is a dynamically generated one. Now my problem is how to retrieve the values within the array where as the array name is stored in a string variable.
for eg:
fileglobals.InfoName = "Array_Name" --> fileglobals.InfoName is a string variable, Array_Name is the array name generated dynamically and it is known only at run-time.
Array_Name[0] = "a";
Array_Name[1] = "b";
Array_Name[2] = "c";
In the above case, I have to retrieve the values of a, b and c
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
Looking at your sequencefile.
You seem to be trying to save into FlieGlobals.InfoName a string with the values of "FileGlobals.Info_0".."FileGlobals.Info_n" where n is the value of Parameter.TestSocket.Index.
Then you are setting the value into FileGlobals.TempName from "StationGlobals.FileGlobals.Info_0" assuming Parameter.TestSocket.Index is 0.
Is this correct?
I realise this is a cutdown sequence file but you must make sure These variable actually exist in either FileGlobals or StationGlobals. Also with FileGlobals each SequenceFile has its own FileGlobals unless you have set the properties of the SequencFile to use a common FileGlobals.
What was the precise error you was seeing as it will properly telling you what variable of property it can't find.

Is it possible to pass a string representing a class name in java as an arg

Hi, this is probably a bit of a stupid question, but one that has me quite confused all the same!
Is it possible to pass a string or class name etc. representing a type of class in java, to a method so that instead of having to redefine a method with say the following args:
public SolarPanels[] bestPVPanels(int budget, int percent) {
HashMap<Integer, SolarPanels> panelsMap = new HashMap<Integer, SolarPanels>();
}As at present needing to create a methods bestWindTurbine() and many others exactly the same, but for the type, I would instead like to be able to create a method like:
public Object[] bestRenewable(int budget, int percent, String aClassName) {
HashMap<Integer, aClassName > renewableMap = new HashMap<Integer, aClassName >();
}But cant sus how to do this as passing a String is off course going to cause problems unless its it possible to cast a string to a class name, any help or advance would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Class.forName(classNameInString);But that will only return a Class object.
And as Java generics are erased at runtime, passing the class name to the method is useless as it is too late to use it anyways.
Ah, Peter's way is what I was thinking of. Too early in the morning.

How do I obtain the full path string for my file?

Many Mac applications are particularly bad at guessing what folder I want to grab a file from. As a result, I waste a great deal of time fishing all through my directory tree in order to put and take my files in and from the right location. It does seem to be better is some applications but still the nuisance is an issue. Of course in Windows this can happen too except there I have a workaround to help out the foolish applications. I can copy the full literal path to the clipboard from Explorer. Then when the file access dialog comes up I can paste the full literal path ahead of the filename and snap to the correct folder. On my mac, I have had mixed success approximating this strategy. Sometimes, if the target folder isn't empty, I can use the Finder to browse to the target folder and open the Get Info dialog for a file and copy the full path from within that dialog. This does not work though when the folder is empty and Mac does not support the create new text file on the fly feature. Furthermore, I have noticed some strange behavior even when I do have the full path copied. One such example is using TextEdit, pasting this full path has resulted in the application using the full path as a really long filename for the new file which still resides in the folder the application incorrectly assumed.
There is a list box in most Mac file access dialogs with _some_ of the recent folders I accessed listed for quick selection but nine times out for ten the folder I just came from isn't among them. That detail really surprises me. Do regular Mac users have habits that prevent problems like this, or is there a better way to _bank_ a literal folder location I know I'll need to use soon and often, or do I just need to get used to fishing for folders during file access?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Most of us are users here.
Create folders and drag those 'frequently used' folders to the left-hand FAVORITES column/sidebar in Finder.
Then just drag your files to the destination folders, or click on them to select them as destinations from your applications.
When you no longer need these folders, right-click to remove them from the FAVORITES sidebar.
They'll still be in the original location where they were created, just no longer visible in the sidebar.
Another thing to note is that the full path of your current destination is shown at the bottom of the screen in Finder. In this case Macintosh HD, Users, (Home folder name), Desktop.

How to pass the "path" dynamically to KM navigation iView ?

HI Experts.
This is my issue:
I have a WD Java iView, with a data table.
In the same page, I have a KM navigation iview too.
Conceptually, each row in this table, have some documents in a CM Repository asociated.
This repository has subfolders for each master data in the table.
(example: imagine a table with material master data, and a repository with a subfolder for each material,
and inside of it, several unstructure documents about this material.
Then, I need to call a KM Navigation iview when click a table row, passing parameters, in special the "path".
I am using this code in my action (triggered from webdynpro iview)
     WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute("ROLES://portal_content/com.stk.demos.folders.zz_demos/com.stk.demo.ch.TEST_CH/com.stk.demo.ch.Listar_Docs",
     WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_EXTERNAL, (String)null, (String)null,
     WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.ALLOW_DUPLICATIONS, "test",
     (String)null, (String)null );
Partially it works, the window open and show the navigation iview, but...
in the root directory (or directory indicated in iView harcoded properties);
But I need pass the path !
How can I call that iView, dinamically using a parameter, the path (property ID: path)
to the KM navigation iView, in order to open initially in a indicated path?)
I have read this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/c3/235a428a1e9041e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
but, I still can't understand how to use this parameters.
Thanks in Advance.
Leandro.

Hi Leandro,
You can create your own proxy IView and then redirect it to KM Navigation IView.
This way you can dynamically change the path.
Check this to know about proxy IView:

File path control-how to avoid the user to change the path string

Hi all,
I'm using "File path control" to chose file name. I don't want the user to write the path in the control directly (by typing) but only to choose the file via the button on the right.
I can implement this behaviour with path indicator and button of course. But I belieave that it can be done more elegant - only disable the part with the string - not the whole "File path control". But how? I tried to customize the control but not success.
Is it possible?

The way I've done it is to make the path part of the control tiny and hide it behind a string indicator. Then whenever the path control changes value (by pressing the Browse button), I populate the string indicator with the path value. Here's a sample VI demonstrating this method, saved in LabVIEW 8.0.
Hope this helps,

Pass multiple query strings to url using HTTPWebRequest

I'm trying to read data from API (in Json format) and load it into SQL server using script task in SSIS.
Dim Request1 As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(URL), System.Net.HttpWebRequest)
Dim Object1 As [Object]

Response1 = DirectCast(Request1.GetResponse(), System.Net.HttpWebResponse)
reader 1= New System.IO.StreamReader(Response1.GetResponseStream())
myResponseString = reader.ReadToEnd()
I'm able to do this with the URL. However, the requirement now is to pass different query strings to the URL and load the data into SQL.
Could someone please provide the code sample to achieve this.
Thanks

If we sent you a code you must try and tell that it doesn't work or that's not what I want, this is better than repeating the same question again and again. Here you go another snippet for httpwebrequest with querstrings and tested:

Obtain string of IN variable name in PL/SQL

Hi,
Odd question. Is there a way to access an IN variable's object name in a procedure?
eg.
procedure (var1    IN VARCHAR2(6),
                var2    IN VARCHAR2(6),
                var3    IN VARCHAR2(6))
IS....You run this procedure and pass in parameters of:
var1 => 'abcdef',
var2 => 'defghi',
var3 => 'ghikjl';
In the code, I want to access the number in the string of the +variable name: var1+
In a naive sense,
num_of_in_var := substr(var1, 4,1) would be what i was hoping to achieve, but,
var1 is set to 'abcdef' so,
num_of_in_var := substr(var1, 4,1) would return 'd'.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Pass SNMP community string a scripted monitor parameter in SCOM 2012

Hi,
Following the advice given here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/606d793c-b559-40b5-865a-ae312ee483d7/snmp-monitor-compare-oid-to-current-date
I created a scripted monitor to poll the value of a SNMP OID and compare it to the current system date.
It works perfectly fine, but I can't find how to pass the community string to the script in order to avoid having to hardcode it in clear text in the script... It seems this was published as a Target's Property with SCOM 2007 (like described here : http://www.burkard.it/2011/10/create-a-calculated-snmp-monitor/
) but that it's not the case anymore with SCOM 2012 (likely because SCOM 2012 now uses RunAs accounts to store community strings, I guess).
So, what is the correct way to achieve this?
Thanks!

Ok, I just found the solution myself, it was quite easy actually (but as often not really documented anywhere) :
you just have to pass this as a parameter :
$RunAs[Name="NetworkLibrary!System.NetworkManagement.Snmp.MonitoringAccount"]/CommunityString$
instead of the scom2007 property which was :
$Target/Property[Type="NetworkDeviceLibrary!Microsoft.SystemCenter.NetworkDevice"]/CommunityString$
And that's it, you don't even need to decode the string in your script as it was the case with scom 2007.

Passing a long string from Vb to stored proc

Hi,
I am passing a long string from Vb to this stored proc ..
defn:
Create Or Replace Procedure saveTaxFormInDB(intFormUID IN number,
intCLUID IN number,
PDFdata IN varchar2,
Status IN OUT Varchar2) AS
Problem lies with the string pdfdata. I am sending it from VB as:
Set cmdParamStr = cmdAdoCmd.CreateParameter("Data", adVarChar,
adParamInput, 32767, strData)
I have checked the parameters in VB while sending and I have the
correct string argument to be passed to "PDFData", But i am not
sure if it is getting the value correctly.
Because I know that the code is raising exception while
accessing PDFData. (eg. in places like insert ..(pdfdata) and
length(pdfdata)...)
Please advise how i can solve this problem.
Please Note that the string is not VERY large. I do not need to
use LOBS in any way. the string is definitely within the limits
of varchar2(which i think is 4000 chars.. correct me if i am
wrong).
Many thanks

what is the backend MS SQl server or Oracle.??
If it is MS SQLSERVER, then
1.Create a SqlCommand object with the parameters as the name of the stored procedure that is to be executed and the connection object con to which the command is to be sent for execution.
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("Name of StoredProcedure",con);
2.Change the command objects CommandType property to stored procedure.
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
3.Add the parameters to the command object using the Parameters collection and the SqlParameter class.
command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@parametername",SqlDbType.Int,0,"Filedname"));
4.Specify the values of the parameters using the Value property of the parameters
command.Parameters[0].Value=4;
command.Parameters[1].Value="ABC";
If it is oracle,
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection("uid=;pwd=");
try
con.Open();
OracleCommand spcmd = new OracleCommand("Name of StoredProcedure");
spcmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
spcmd.Connection = con;
spcmd.Parameters.Add("empid", OracleType.Number, 5).Value = txtEmpid.Text;
spcmd.Parameters.Add("sal", OracleType.Number, 5).Value = txtSal.Text;
spcmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

Pass Existing Paths to Function

I am new to Powershell (and scripting in general). I have a function which works to enable auditing on a path. I want to be able to run it on remote machines for all users which exist on the machine. The path I'm working on auditing is
%localappdata%.
In trying to enumerate the user accounts, and then pass each path to the function, I have written this:
$path = dir c:\users\ | where {$_.name -ne "Public"} | % {"c:\users\" + $_.name + "\appdata\local"}
addaudittofile
I'm running into a number of problems with this approach, so my question is: What is a better way to approach this in order to enumerate and pass the user's local appdata path to the function?
I did not write the function, I only altered it slightly from this guy (http://giuoco.org/security/configure-file-and-registry-auditing-with-powershell/). All I did was remove the mandatory parameter sting.

Try this to get the user path for all current profiles.
$computerName = "."
$wmi=[wmiclass]"\\$($computerName)\root\default:stdRegProv"
foreach($guid in $wmi.EnumKey(2147483650,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileGuid").sNames)
$sid = $wmi.GetStringValue(2147483650,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileGuid\$($guid)","SidString").sValue
$wmi.GetStringValue(2147483650, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\$($sid)","ProfileImagePath").sValue
This snippet will not include the built in accounts (system, admin, .DEFAULT), only user profiles. The only issue will be this that any new profiles that get created won't get set for auditing. You could use a WMI event trigger to enable auditing on the user
appdata path whenever a new profile is created.
EDIT: Here are the identifiers for the different registry classes:
<#
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (2147483648 (0x80000000))
HKEY_CURRENT_USER (2147483649 (0x80000001))

Hi DH, sorry for not being clear.
It works when I create the connection from that web part that you want to be connected with the Query String Filter Web part. So let's say you created a web part page. Then you could connect a parameterized Excel Workbook to an Excel Web Access Web Part
(or a Performance Point Dashboard etc.) and you insert it into your page and add
a Query String Filter Web Part . Then you can connect them by editing the Query String Filter Web Part but also by editing the Excel Web Access Web Part. And only when I created from the latter it worked
with multiple values for one parameter. If you have any more questions let me know. See you, Ingo
