Post to a Session rather than DB via ADDT

Hello
Is there the means to Post to a Session via the ADDT ?
I've been using the extensions for a month or so and find the means to update Database values a breeze but I do not see any options for dealing with a Session value.
I've got a page the does a Horizontal Looper and displays 6 products per page. I want to have the ability to update a Session to save selected models much like a shopping cart. Then on a final checkout page I would like to display the results and then allow a checkbox for each value saved. Deselecting a checkbox removes it from the values submitted via email to a predetermined address.
I'm using a Javascript function to post the value of a selection via a URL String and then displaying that value on a pop-up page to confirm their addition to the session. So far no problems.
But now I want to take the known value and insert it into a running session that will store all the inserted values.
Do I have to hand code this or is there an extension value I am not seeing or can I specify a Session and post to that rather than the DB table?
Or is the case that I should be using a temp table in the DB to store these values and then use a recordset to display the saved values?
Basically I do not want to commit the values until I allow the user to review and manage their saved items via checkboxes.
Any tutorials on this or advice from others that have done something similar , perhaps in a shopping cart?

Hi Steve,
if you want this feature added to a future version, please feel free to submit a feature request using the ADOBE wishform : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
It´s users such as you who might get heard, not me -- I don´t have anyone´s ear when it comes to considering additional features or not.
However, dedicated shopping carts might still be the better & more professional solution IMHO -- retrieving cookies or session variables with javascript is quite insecure/unreliable in itself, I personally wouldn´t consider that.
I thought about your scenario some more, and it´s clear you would need a better and unique detection of the current user who might not even have an account at your site, means who can´t be detected via ADDT´s "kt_login_id" session variable :: when user X enters your home-made "shopping cart", you can create a random numeric ID and assign this one to a session variable -- this one can be used in whatever other cart page and finally also stored in the DB respectively (on the checkout page) used for creating the query which will send the list of ordered items and a confirmation using ADDT´s Send Email behaviour. More info on this truly interesting approach here: http://msconline.maconstate.edu/tutorials/PHP/ECommerce/php00-08.php
The Temp DB method seems like it could have problems with clean up
Is "cleaning up" really the the right thing to do ? After all, you respectively the customer might want to track his ordering transactions done in the past.

WHY WE GO FOR SESSION RATHER THAN LSMW ?

WHY WE GO FOR SESSION RATHER THAN LSMW , AND I WANT TO KNWO THE DIFFERANCES BETWEEN THEM AND IN WICH CONDITIONS SESSION AND LSMW ARE MOST SUTED? THANKING U

hi,
In BDC ,we can run session as per our need, you can run in foreground ,background or even you can run on periodic wise ,where as in LSMW
you cant run as your wish .
BDC (Batch Data Communication) is a technology used for data transfer. it is meant for transferring data thru SAP transactions itself. when u use BDC for data transfer, the sequence of steps is the same as when u use standard sap transaction screens for data upload. the only difference is that u can use different options for foreground/backgrou nd processing.
LSMW on the other hand is a tool that helps migrate data from a legacy system (non-sap system ) to SAP system. it offers u various options to use either batch input, direct input, BAPIs or idocs. it involves a series of some 17-18 steps to migrate data.
BDC:
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
Features :
BDC is an automatic procedure.
This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
Types of BDC :
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as CLASSICAL METHOD.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.
LSMW:
The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports You when transferring data from non-SAP systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data can then be imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or IDocs.
Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to generate a "data migration object" in an entry or change transaction.
The main advantages of the LSM Workbench:
Part of R/3 and thus independent of individual platforms
A variety of technical possibilities of data conversion:
Data consistency due to standard import techniques:
Batch input
Direct input
BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces)
IDocs (Intermediate Documents)
The import technique to be used in an individual case depends on the business object.
Generation of the conversion program on the basis of defined rules
Clear interactive process guide
Interface for data in spreadsheet format
Reward points if this helps you.

Watch just new posts in a forum, rather than all new replies

Hi,
if we watch a forum via email option, for instance, PI forum, in 3 days, there were around 80 new posts and 400 replies
what i am intersted is the new posts of the threads, so that i am able to check if it is relavant me.
with watch forum by email option, i am getting so many mails.
many thread reply mails, i am not really interested, so i need to delete the replies so that my mailbox doesn't get full.
it would be better if an option is provided in the "Your wathches" page to watch just new threads.

Good point.
While we wait for development, here is a workaround: filter the mails with your mail program or web service and assign a tag "new thread" or similar.
Works OK in Google Mail, my filter criteria is "subject:(-Re: -Thread)".

HT201303 How can I set up iTunes billing so that I get billed ONCE per download session rather than for EACH download I purchase?

It's annoying getting seven, eight, ten, twenty direct billings from my bank account when I'd prefer a single one per session. Maybe this isn't possible to do, but it never hurts to ask!

Discoverer query a logical standby rather than production via db link

Hello,
I have read in some oracle documentation that oracle does not support discoverer on a logical standby database because the EUL tables need write access. So oracle recommends having the EUL tables on a write enabled database (Production) and then link to data on a logical standby.
Is anyone doing something like this currently? I am curious how this would be configured? And is it worth it?
Thanks

Hi Olivier
You need to point your EUL folders at the other database using a database link. Then whenever Discoverer sees that folder it will call the database link and the data will come from the other database.
Therefore, you need to have a schema on the other database that has SELECT permissions on all of the objects that you want to query. After satisfying yourself that you have such a schema, on the local database you create a database link to the other database using the schema that has the permissions. In order to create the database link your will of course need to be logged on locally using an account that has permission to create such a link and you will need to know the password of the schema in the other database.
If you don't create a PUBLIC database link you will also need to make sure that your EUL owner and all of your users can access it. More often than not I will use a PUBLIC database link which saves all the trouble.
Here is a script for a PUBLIC database link. The link is called LOCAL_TO_STANDBY and as you can see the user I am connecting as is called APPS with a password of STANDBY_APPS (entered in the IDENTIFIED BY section):
CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK LOCAL_TO_STANDBY
CONNECT TO APPS
IDENTIFIED BY STANDBY_APPS
USING '(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.10.20)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = STANDBY) ) )';
You will of course have to change your database connection information by altering the IP address or the host or replacing this with a fully qualified domain name, you then have to provide the PORT and the SERVICE_NAME for the database you will be connecting to.
To test the connection, try this:
SELECT FROM DUAL@LOCAL_TO_STANDBY;
Does this help?
Best wishes

Why does Safari open with the last page viewed from the previous session rather than my homepage?

The only way I can get Safari to open to my homepage when starting a new session is to be sure to close all windows from the previous session before quitting Safari. If I don't go through this process, Safari opens to the last site I accessed before quitting. What am I missing?

I am having the same problem but in Mountain Lion the "System Preferences -> General -> Number of recent items -> UNTICK "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." option is not available. The only thing now is "Close windows when quitting an application." which I have ticked. Under recent items there is only a list of numbers.
This seems strange to me. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Tabs from Last Session Rather than Home Page Showing Upon Start

Using FF 4.0.1 and even tho I have (and have '''''ALWAYS'''''had) "Show my Home Page Only on Startup" selected and '''''NOT''''' "Show Windows & Tabs fr. Last Time" selected, the window(s) and tab(s) from my last session have suddenly (starting yesterday) showing up every time I start up FF. (And I didn't upgrade to 4.0.1 yesterday; did that a couple wks ago. )

You're welcome.
Using File > Exit usually works better because you close all open windows at once.

Xfinity keeps defaulting to their search engine rather than google via Safari. How do I disable xfinity search? I am going crazy!

It has always been a problem with xfinity defaulting to their own crappy search engine when I type into the Safari url line. It is even worse now with Yosemite. My default on Safari is set to google, but xfinity hijacks it. I have been searching everywhere to find a solution. I simply want to disable the xfinity search engine, but it is not simple! Hoping someone here has had the same problem and was able to fix it. Thanks!

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

Data log directly from Norma 4000 power analyser rather than via Keithley 2700 data logger

Hello fellow LabVIEW users
My Norma 4000 power analyser is connected to my Keithley 2700 data logger from which it logs data via GPIB using the attached VI.
Prior to making this VI I was not aware that the Norma 4000 could also log data values directly using labview which I found in the following LabVIEW post.
http://forums.ni.com/ni/attachments/ni/170/536731/1/LV9.zip
The Keithley logs the values into a *.txt file that can be opened in excel for analysis of the data. There are 7 values that are pulled from the power analyser and 1 from a radiometer and 1 from a temperature sensor. I essentially want the 7 values from the data analyser be directly input into the save file i/o rather than going via the Keithley which it is doing now. Some the signal is lost due to noise etc when going from ADC then DAC. Which is why certain values pulled from the Keithley have been multiplied before being put into file i/o.
Since these are popular instruments of choice I was wondering if anyone can direct me to any links to LabVIEW VIs that have already been made that DIRECTLY logs data values from the Norma 4000 into a *.txt file as in the attached VI. Or point me in the right direction perhaps. The LNOPA01 Getting Started.vi only shows current values. I want the data values to be logged into the *.txt files at certain time intervals with the corresponding signals from the radiometer and temperature sensor.
The Keithley drivers can be found in the following link

Data Logger_Final Version.vi ‏57 KB

Hi,
I was not able to find an example that will directly log data from the Norma 4000. I looked at the LNOPA01 Getting Started.vi and it seems like, with a few modifications, you could use this to log data. You would have to open a file, write the collected data to the file, and then close the file. You are already doing something similar to this in the VI you attached.
If you only want to measure data at certain times, you could use a case structure in the while loop and only write to file when a certain condition is met. If this isn't an option for you, could you please elaborate on what difficulties you are seeing?
Thanks,

Close tab groups actually closes tabs rather than just the grouping. How do I recover all tabs, not just the last 10? Pages and tabs are not in recent history.

I had a problem with tab groups - if I mistakenly close tab groups, I can only recover the last 10 tabs.
I had a window with many more than 10 tabs which I reopened each session by going to History > Recently Closed Windows. I knew this was risky - I could lose this if I did not keep it in an open window or recently closed window. So I was looking for a way to save this window with all the tabs. I looked into tab groups and, not knowing what I was doing, I closed the groups of tabs. There seems to be no recovery for other than the last 10 tabs. And open tabs are not necessarily in recent history if I have not accessed the tab and refreshed.

I don't use tab groups myself, but I know of a way to increase the number of closed tabs that Firefox remembers. Unfortunately, it's not retroactive...
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the following preferences and enter the preferred new value:
(A) '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' (default: 10)
(B) '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo''' (default: 3)
Regarding what is in history, by default, Firefox will load tabs on demand when you restore a session, rather than loading every single tab immediately. If you turned off that setting, or if you visited all the tabs, then those pages should be in history, but finding them amidst all the others would be quite a challenge...

Can I download Snow leopard/Lion rather than order hard copy delivery? Not finding in iTunes nor on apple website..

I currently have Mac OSx and looking to upgrade to Lion (sounds like I need to go through Snow Leopard upgrade first). Is there an easy way to simply download these upgrades rather than order via the mail? Any way to avoid updgrading two separate times and have the ability to go direct to the Lion upgrade?
Thanks!

You cannot download Snow Leopard. You have to buy it on disk.
Once you've installed that, and updated it to 10.6.8, you can download Lion from the App Store.
Apple also sells Lion on a USB stick, but I don't know if it is possible to install that on a disk with just Leopard.
Also, make sure your MacBook can run Lion: http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html

Join conference via Lync call rather than Call Me At

We have deployed Lync Server 2013 and are just beginning to deploy it in small doses to portions of the organization. We are using a combination of Lync 2010 and 2013 for clients. This post is regarding the Lync 2013 client.
We use Lync with Cisco telephony via Remote Call Control. We do have PC-to-PC calling enabled in addition to RCC (the Telephony setting in Lync Control Panel on the user accounts is "Remote Call Control"). We are not using Enterprise
Voice.
After deploying Lync as simply an IM + telephony client, we have begun to focus on rolling out the web conferencing functionality. In doing so, we have noticed strange behavior which I describe below.
Let us assume that someone other than me creates web conference by selecting two people, including me, in their Lync contacts list in the client, right clicks, and selects "Start a conference all" and then chooses "Lync call". I
see a Lync toast notification appear, inviting me to a conference. It says the conference organizer's name and says "Conference Call". If I click the toast to accept the conference, my Cisco telephone extension immediately begins to ring.
In the meantime, in the Lync conference in the client I see "Join Conference Call" and "Other". If I answer answer my telephone extension or push the Join Conference Call button, I am successfully joined to the Lync audio conference
and can speak with anyone else that joined the conference, whether they are using Lync audio or Cisco telephony.
The problem is that there are cases where we want to do a video conference. I am aware that can only be done if using Lync audio rather than the Cisco telephony. I can disconnect from the conference call by hanging up my Cisco extension.
When I do so, the Lync conference in the client shows a notification that gives me the option to rejoin the conference. The "Rejoin" button has a down arrow, and if I expand it I can select "Rejoin using Lync Call" and if I do that
I can now see others' webcams and can share my own webcam with the conference.
My question is: how can I elect to join the conference in the first place with a Lync call rather than having the Lync conference bridge dial my Cisco extension? There does not seem to be a way to do this that we can get to work. For instance,
I mentioned that after I have clicked the Lync toast notification after being added to the conference and my Cisco phone begins ringing that I see the options "Join Conference Call" and "Other" in Lync client. If I open the Other
options, I see "Join using Lync Call" as an option. If I select that option, my Cisco phone answers the call and I am joined to the Lync audio conference with my Cisco phone and not Lync audio.
Please note that I already checked the Phone section in the Lync 2013 client options and the box "Before I join meetings, ask which audio device I want to use" is checked and the "Join meeting audio" drop-down box is set to "Lync".

Sorry, I misread your question and now see that I did not pre-emptively answer it. I just tested it and unchecked the box "Before I join meetings, ask which audio device I want to use" and made sure "Join meeting audio" was set to "Lync". Even
after doing so, the behavior is the same: the Cisco phone automatically rings and any action to join the conference results in the Cisco phone extension being picked up.
Basically, it seems that if you use that "Start a Conference Call" option from the Lync contacts list, the Lync preferences set in the recipients' Lync clients are ignored. If you schedule a Lync conference via Outlook or people use the Lync meeting
URL in their Internet browser, it does respect the preferences correctly. It seems like it might be a bug.
I would be interested if any other Lync Server 2013 users with Lync client 2013 and using RCC could repeat my tests and see if they have the same issue.

On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account?

I'm signed up to the Cloud and itunes match - the whole game. But I cam getting annoyed with having to delete songs one by one on my iPhone once dowloaded from the cloud as I only have a 16GB phone....yes I listen to music non-stop! So, I am thinking about getting an iPAD as I rarely use my MacBook Pro for anything other than surfing and music now... so the question is: "On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone (if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account where I know you can clear down and refill with ease)????

Have you tried
Settings > General > Usage > Music > Edit > Delete

Launch application via run menu rather than dos...possible?

hi,
we're trying to find a way to launch a application, such as MS Word, from our java app via the run menu in start menu, rather than through dos. currently our program reads the start menu and gets the lnk file paths, the problems is that it displays them as:
C:\WIN98_SE\start menu\programs\Microsoft Word.lnk
but dos needs them as:
C:\WIN98_SE\startm~1\programs\Micros~3.lnk
so to execute it from java we would need to write it as:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start C:\\WIN98_SE\\startm~1\\programs\\MICROS~3.lnk");
since we're doing this dynamically we can't be sure if the user will have office professional, home, or any other version, so this means that for some micros~3 might be micros~1, not sure which number will be attached at the end. but if we are able to launch it from the run command in the start menu then typing:
C:\WIN98_SE\start menu\programs\Microsoft Word.lnk
will work.
Thanks.

You should try this:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("command /C \"C:\\WIN98_SE\\start menu\\programs\\Microsoft Word.lnk\" "); with Win98
orRuntime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C \"C:\\WINNT\\Documents and Settings\\user-name\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Microsoft Word.lnk\" "); with Win2000 prof.
/C - Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates
I tested only the second one because I don't have access to a win98 system.
Let me know if this solves your problem.
Regards
BG

I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.
