Problems using 488.2 commands with Agilent 82357 interface

Hi, I need to send a large file to an instrument in chunks using the 488.2 commands sendsetup and senddatabytes. When I try to use these commands I just get an error saying 'NI-488: Error connecting to driver or device'. The interface works fine using visa. I’ve tried the obvious in checking that the bus address is correct and I believe it to be.
Anybody know what I may be doing wrong or if its possible to do it another way? I’m starting to wonder if its an issue with it being a non NI interface.
Thanks

Hi,
We have done trade-ins in the past with 3rd party hardware, and this may be an easy solution for you since we do have a USB-GPIB interface available that does Standard and HS gpib (you didn't say if you were using the A or B variant of the Agilent 82357.

I'd suggest contacting your local sales office (+44 1635 572400 for the UK) to find out if this is acheivable in your case, or to arrange a loan to see if that in fact fixes the issue and makes the option more practical.
Thanks

Calendar Server 3.5: Problem using user's ID with uniuser -mod command

When there are two users who have the same Common Name (CN) in LDAP but
different User ID's (uid
field), I have a problem using the uid
field as an argument to
uniuser -mod in Netscape Calendar
Server (NCS) 3.5. For example, there may be two users, User1 and User2, who
both have the CN "John Smith." 

User1
uid: jsmith2
sn: Smith
givenname: John
nscalxitemid: 10001:00314
User2
uid: jsmith
sn: Smith
givenname: John
nscalxitemid: 10001:00213

Let's say I want to change the value for nsCalOrgUnit2
for User1 to "jsmith." In NCS 4.0,
I can specify the uid as
an argument to uniuser -mod
. However, in NCS 3.5, if I specify the
uid as an argument to
uniuser -mod, the entry
for the user does not get changed. 

Calendar Server 4.0 

%uniuser -mod "ID=00314" -m "OU2=jsmith/OU3=People" -n 10001
 
uniuser: modified "Smith, John" 

(The LDAP entry for User1 also reflects this change.)

Calendar Server 3.5 

%uniuser -mod "ID=00314" "OU2=jsmith/OU3=People" 10001
 
uniuser: no need to modify "Smith,John" 

(The LDAP entry for User1 does not reflect the change.) 

%uniuser -mod "S=Smith/G=John/ID=00314" "OU2=jsmith/OU3=People"
10001 
uniuser: no need to modify "Smith,John" 

(The LDAP entry for User1 does not reflect the change.) 

If I use the command uniuser -mod "S=Smith/G=John"
"OU2=jsmith/OU3=People" 10001
in NCS 3.5, the script will change the entry of the first "John Smith" in the
database and will cause the LDAP entry for this user to be updated as well.
However, the entry modified may or may not be the correct one. So, in
NCS 3.5, is there a way to specify a particular uid
to ensure that the correct LDAP entry
is modified?

To modify a user's information using the uid
field in Calendar Server 3.5, change
the user.ini file. The
following steps show how to change a user's information by modifying the
.ini file: 

<OL>
<LI>Open the user.ini
file, which is in the path /users/unison/misc/user.ini

<LI>Add a section containing the desired changes. For example, 

[Test] 
OU2 = jsmith 
OU3 = People 

<LI>Run uniuser with
the following options: 

% uniuser -mod "ID=00314" -s Test 10001
</OL>

It turns out to be a problem with the user Keychain. It has some weird entry that was sending the wrong password. I delete all entries to the server and that corrected the problem

Using 'defaults delete' command with com.apple.dock

I have been using the "defaults" command in my scripts to add an icon to a user's dock after a new application has been installed. But now, I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to remove an icon from the dock using the command line. For adding an icon, I use:
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '<dict><key>tile-data</key><dict><key>file-data</key><dict>
<key>_CFURLString</key><string>/Applications/NewApp/Program.app
</string><key>_CFURLStringType</key><integer>0</integer>
</dict></dict></dict>'
(take out all the carriage returns and spaces. I had to put them in here for the line to show properly on the post)
This works great for adding an icon. But, I cannot seem to write something similar using "defaults delete"
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Steve,
 If it froze then the code isn't robust against problems. In this case the problem is the web. The command has four spaces in a row in two of the matches. However, the browser smashes that down into a single space. I never understood that aspect of HTML but I know about it and should have considered it. I will replace the spaces with capital Xs. If you replace the Xs with regular spaces, the command should work:
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps "$( defaults read com.apple.dock persistent-apps | awk 'BEGIN{ ARRAY = "("; ELEM = "" } /^XXXX{/{ while ( $0 !~ /^XXXX}/ ) { if ( ELEM == "" ){ ELEM = $0 } else { ELEM = ELEM "\n" $0 } if ( $0 ~ "_CFURLString\"" && $0 !~ /zzzz/ ){ FOUND = "true" } getline } ELEM = ELEM "\n" $0; if ( FOUND == "true" ){ ARRAY = ARRAY "\n" ELEM }; FOUND = "false"; ELEM = "" } END{ sub( /,[^\n]*$/, "", ARRAY); print ARRAY; print }' )"
In some sense that is poor coding but in the default syntax of the "defaults" command, the only way to determine depth is by how far something is indented. It would have been far more robust to actually count the number of opening parentheses and keep track of the depth but that would have been more complex to code. If I have time, I'll look into changing that.
 I assume that the reason the command hung is that it went into an infinite loop. I've also added a carat, '^', in front of the first group of four spaces that will keep that from happening. When typed correctly the command works without it but now it will fail without going into an infinite loop.

LR V1.2 Having problems using the find Command

Have just recently started using lightroom and so far managing most applications imported a series of photos and after import added keywords to them using the find function I cannot get images to appear. What seems to happen is that in the keyword tag and the folders any of the headings that contain the keyword become active the remainder show a zero no in number of images held in that folder but no images on screen
can anyone assist me
Peter

thanks for the reply
have switched of global filters, made sure that using the Find command have set keywords in "text box" and in the "rule box "contains". When I then enter a key word as soon as a type the first two or three letters
a message appears on the screen no "No photos in the selected keyword Tag" Also when you look at the folders which have a series of numbers indicating the photos in the directory the first number in each set turns to 0 with the exception of the folder and sub folder were the images are
So have not managed to make any progress

Problem using Instant Client 10g with PHP4.3.10-16 on Debian Sarge

Hello,
My current email is [email protected]
I am trying to use PHP on Debian box using Oracle 10gR2 on a RH 4 server. Everything works fine individually, but I cannot get PHP4 to use InstantClient to connect to the Oracle Server. This is what I've done:
Oracle 10gR2 works fine on the RH 4 server. Listener is running and all required OS security is in place and works (TCP_wrappers, etc.).
Client machine runs Debian 3.1 (Sarge). It works fine and SSH connectivity to RH4 server works.
Instant Client 10gR2 installed on Debian client and works fine. Tested SQL*Plus connection to the RH server. I installed Instant Client from the zip file.
I did have to add libclntsh.so to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig to get Debian to use it, though.
Apache2.0.54-5 on Debian client works fine. Web pages on it can be opened in browsers from other machines.
Installed PHP4.3.10-16 on Debian client using following:
./configure --with-oci8-instant-client=<dir of my choice>
--enable-sigchild
I first checked ./configure help and the option with-oci8-instant-client was there.
Configure went well. Log showed checking for Instant Client files.
Ran make. Saw numerous Instant Client message as words scrolled.
Ran make install. Successful.
Restarted Apache2 with following env variables:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<my Instant Client directory)
TNS_ADMIN=<same directory where I put my sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files).
SQLPATH=<same directory>
I know this is correct because Instant Client SQL*Plus can connect.
Browsers on other machines can view simple php scripts run from the Debian box.
BUT, phpinfo does NOT show an OCI8 section.
phpinfo does show the correct extension directory, though.
Somehow, my PHP4 configure and make is not using the --with-oci8-instant-client option.
I checked $PHP4HOME/ext/oci8/config.m4 file and the verbiage IS in there to use the --with-oci8-instant-client option, either with the default location or the extension_dir location.
I tried using the new ZendCore product, even though it is not certified for Debian. It installed okay but I could not get PHP5 to work. I uninstalled it successfully and redid all of the above.
So, any ideas as to what else I can do here? Other than not use Debian (which is probably the wisest thing to do). And I suppose I could install a thick Oracle client, assuming that Debian would take it. But I prefer the Instant Client.
I tried the PHP ./configure syntax I've seen several places on this forum.
./configure --with-oci8=instantclient,<directory>
This syntax may work on Red Hat machines but it throws a syntax error on Debian and aborts the configure.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks, but that did not work. Configure aborts because it cannot find the required OCI8 libraries. The --with-oci8 option is for the Oracle "thick" client. I have only the Instant Client...and am not interested in loading the older client.
I may have my own solution next week, though. I will be loading RH4 on a new server and will then install ZendCore and forget all about using Oracle with Debian.
Update on trying ZendCore on Debian Sarge:
I tried installing it again yesterday. The install seemed go to well, and said it was successful.
It did NOT load PHP5, however. Nor did it load the Instant Client. My previously installed PHP4 and Instant Client remained in my original directories.

Problem using extension manager CS5 with command line

Hi All,
I had posted my question here : http://forums.adobe.com/message/4695419#4695419, but was advised to do so here as well..
I have a requirement to get the path of all the installed Extension Managers on any Windows system for the purpose of installing an extension.. I thought, there would be no problem in getting the path from the registry. There was no problem in Win XP, but the same does not work for Win 7.. I googled, and found alternate ways to get the path.
Here is the link : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/851359. I followed the instructions in this post, but failed to get this working for CS5 as mentioned in my previous thread... No problem for CS5.1 and CS6.. Why is that?
I want to get this working for CS5, CS5.1, CS6... How can I get the path of all the Extension Manager versions installed on a Windows system?
Please refer to the following screenshots to get a better understanding of my problem,
I created a jsx file named "Result.jsx", which I saved in my D drive, with the following code,
resultFile = new File("D:/result.log");
resultFile.open("w");
resultFile.write(BridgeTalk.__diagnostics__);
resultFile.close();
If I run this directly from ESTK CS5, there is no problem, and I get the result.log file. I tried to execute this script via command line as shown in the screenshot,
On executing the above, I got the following error,
What is going wrong?
Please help!

I am sorry for the poor documentation of Extension Manager which causes you so much trouble.
1. You can use BridgeTalk API to ask specific version of Extension Manager to do something. There is sample in packaging_extension.pdf about this. You don't need to know the installation path of Extension Manager. One thing to note is that the value of bt.target is version specific, i.e. "exman-5.0", "exman-5.5" send this message to different version of Extension Manager, so you can change this value to install/enable/disable/remove extensions using different version of Extension Manager. More detailed documentation of BridgeTalk can be found by clicking "Help" menu then clicking "Javascript Tools Guide CS5" in "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5".
2. Specific version of Extension Manager only manage extensions for corresponding version of product. You should use Extension Manager CS5 to install extensions for Photoshop CS5. The reason that the extension you installed for Photoshop CS5.1 using Extension Manager CS5.5 is displayed for Photoshop CS5 in Extension Manager CS5 is that two versions of Photoshop specified the same directory for Extension Manager to manage extensions. This is a defect and will cause some problems if multiple versions of Photoshop co-existed in one machine. But "to find previous (CS5) extension manager and to enable it" should work for you, I guess you use command line to enable it and specify wrong product name (see #3) so that it doesn't work.
3. When using command line, you should specify "product" attribute with the name displayed at the left panel of Extension Manager. So "Photoshop CS5 32" is correct. Remember to enclose it with double quote because of existence of space character.
4. As above mentioned, use display name of Photoshop, and call proper version of Extension Manager by BridgeTalk.

Unusual problem using Arial Black font with #'s

We have encountered a rather unusual problem.
Recently one of our customers contacted us about a problem with their job. They used #'s in arial black and regular throughout their document. Everywhere the #'s were in Arial Black they came out looking like an entirely different font. All of the files that we have created from their document appear correctly. Even the proofs created from the files printed correctly. However at the point of Esko's Nexus program creating the tiff file to make the press plates we are getting the incorrect results. I have even created a new document using our fonts in multiple sizes and I am getting the same results. As you can see the rest of the text in the same font is imaging properly. It is only the #'s that are the problem.
This is a screen capture of the PDF I created:
This is a screen capture of the results from the plate tiff image:
I am positive that it is not an issue with Esko's Nexus software as I have recreated this text in Quark, Miccrosoft Word, and Microsoft Publisher and they all imaged properly.
I am only encountering this with Adobe software. I am getting the same results from both InDesign and Illustrator. I have run the file from multiple Macs with various OS systems and from a PC each with their own font sets. I have even run the file from all versions of InDesign that we own (CC2014, CC, CS6, CS5.5) and they ALL give me incorrect results. As you can see from the images above it is ONLY the # character in Arial Black that is a problem.
I'm at a loss as to how to solve this problem.

Problems using sprites in CM with Firefox

Hi,
Iu2019m tying to improve Portal Performance, improving XMLForms content, so decided to reduce the number of requests (images) using sprites, the problem is, for some reason, that I canu2019t understand, attribute u201Cbackgroundu201D or u201Cbackground-imageu201D, are being suppressed by the XMLForms XSLT Pipeline in Firefox, not in IE.
Example:
Using Firefox, create a new Content using a XMLForm with an HTML Editor in the model, in Firefox, this HTML Editor is replaced by a Textarea, insert something like u201C<A id=A20091013169500 title="Gripe A (H1N1)" style="DISPLAY: block; BACKGROUND: url(/irj/go/km/docs/documents/Images/destaques.gif) 0px 0px; WIDTH: 215px; HEIGHT: 50px" href="http://portaldev.tduarte.pt/irj/portal/tduarte/Contacte-nos" target=_top></A>u201D (use an image in your CM), after saving, the image is not being displayed, and after inspecting the element with firebug, I can see the attribute background was completely removed.
Thanks & Regards,
John

Hi Tobias,
Thanks for the tip, it is valuable, but I already knowed from u201CHow to Tune the Performance of Knowledge Management (NW7.0)u201D, it improves the download, but does not reduce the number of requests.
Besides this, what is the reason for working in IE and not in Firefox?
Besides all the above mentioned points, it is not possible to apply a cache, because Iu2019m talking about an iView of Highlights in the first page, that changes constantly, without a timebase defined.
Thanks & Regards,
John

Problem using 2 Fact tables with the same dimension

Hi,
I have noticed a very strange behaviour in Presentation Services / BI Administrator. I have 2 cubes (created in OWB) which are in the same business model, they are set up with foreign keys etc. and works as they should using them separately. Problem is (sometimes!) when I want to use the common dimension (Project) against both of the fact tables (Sales Order and Purchase Order).
Scenario 1:
If I use Project Id, Purchase Amount, Sales Amount I get either an amount in Sales Amount or in Purchase Amount, BUT if the Project Id starts with a letter (not starting with a number) it will show the correct amount for both Sales- and Purchase Amount.
Scenario 2:
I use Project Description (even followed by Project Id or not), Sales Amount, Purchase Amount I get the correct numbers for all projects. Project Description must come before Project Id or else it will not work.
I only noticed this problem when using both of the Fact tables since I want to compare Sales Amount and Purchase Amount in each Project. The Dimension for Project consist of Project, Sub Project and Activity and works fine. If I only use Sales Amount or Purchase Amount with Project Id I don't get this error. Only when both numbers are used.
I would be very happy if anyone have a good solution/explanation to this problem! Seems like could be something in the BI Server memory that goes wrong somewhere.

The strange thing is that the results from the queries are correct running them in SQL Developer. This is one that works:
SELECT Project.Project saw_0, "- SalesOrderFact"."Sales Amount" saw_1, "- PurchaseOrderFact"."Purchase Amount" saw_2, REPORT_SUM(saw_1 BY ), REPORT_SUM(saw_2 BY ) FROM SalesOrder ORDER BY saw_0
SALES ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION as c1,
sum(T161.SALES_AMOUNT_LOCAL) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_SALES_ORDER T161
where ( T161.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION
order by c1
PURCHASE_ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION as c1,
sum(T3020.TOTAL_BUY_AMOUNT) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_PURCH_ORDER T3020
where ( T3020.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_DESCRIPTION
order by c1
And this will give the wrong result in Answers (correct in SQL..):
SELECT Project."Project Id" saw_0, "- SalesOrderFact"."Sales Amount" saw_1, "- PurchaseOrderFact"."Purchase Amount" saw_2, REPORT_SUM(saw_1 BY ), REPORT_SUM(saw_2 BY ) FROM SalesOrder ORDER BY saw_0
SALES_ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID as c1,
sum(T161.SALES_AMOUNT_LOCAL) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_SALES_ORDER T161
where ( T161.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID
order by c1
PURCHASE_ORDER:
select T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID as c1,
sum(T3020.TOTAL_BUY_AMOUNT) as c2
from
DIM_PROJECT_V T3032,
CUBE_PURCH_ORDER T3020
where ( T3020.DIM_PROJECT = T3032.DIMENSION_KEY )
group by T3032.PROJECT_KEY_NAME_ID
order by c1
As you can see the SQL look very familiar, and I cannot see anything in SQL that should be the cause of this error. I think the error must be in the BI Memory or something.
Any ideas?

Using the IN command with parameters

I am using .Net with the Oracle 10G client software to connect to a 10G database. I have a package that contains a stored procedure where I need to pass in multiple values to utilize the IN command, but I keep getting a cryptic Oracle error. Basically this is the scenario..
SELECT * FROM [Table] WHERE ID IN(P_PARAMETER);
Through my .Net code, I set P_PARAMETER equal to something like "25,31,36,48" without the double quotes. I also tried surrounding each number with single quotes and it still bombed out. Is this valid to do? If not, what are my options since I need to use this scenario (the numbers aren't known ahead of time)?
