Progress status question

I am trying to find a way to make an indicator that just loops to let the user know that some action is happening. I don't have any information to update the progress, as the work is being done by a third party and can take up to 60 seconds to time out. I was just wondering if there was a class that addresses this situation or should I just use an animated .gif to give the user the 'warm fuzzy' feeling that something is still happening. I looked at the JProgressBar class but it is a typical progress bar and I need something more like a status indicator.
Thank you for any information,
Hiro

Just kidding, just use a timer for your progress bar, once you know longer need it, kill the timer to stop the bar.

When i approuve a transport request, it stays in progress status

Hello,
even if i input approval steps and i approuve it after, they are still in progress status, they don't desappear from QA worklist.
ho to do to resolve this situation ?
Thank's a lot

Hello,
Is this a workflow question? Are you using workflows for transports?
If yes, check the workflow log, eg via SWIA, to see what the problem is.
If no, maybe you could ask in a different SDN forum.

Write-Progress -Status span mulitple lines

Is it possible for Write-Progress -Status to span multiple lines? The status is showing the file being copied and to the location it is being copied to, which can get very long and runs off the console window. I have tried adding `r`n but that doesn't
work, so I am thinking it is a no, but figured I would ask.
If you find that my post has answered your question, please mark it as the answer. If you find my post to be helpful in anyway, please click vote as helpful.

The progress bar in Write-Progress is based on the width buffer size of the console window. If the width buffer is greater than the actual console window width, then it will spill off of the console.
There is no way to my knowledge to make this span multiple lines other than to write your own type of progress bar or to make a proxy function for Write-Progress.

LCM import of Planning Application Hangs with "In Progress Status"

Hi,
LCM import of Planning Application Hangs with "In Progress Status" . its already couple of hours. Earlier it was always within 10 mins.
Any advise is appreciated.
Regards,
Vineet

It is probably worth trying again, may be useful to first bounce the services.
If it happens again after bouncing the services then investigate at what staging it is getting stuck at.
Cheers

JApplet / application init / start progress status feedback

We used to put up a separate JFrame during the initization/startup of our applets/applications for status messages. While o.k. for Java Webstart / application modes (& maybe standalone applet mode), this was not pretty for customers embedding our apps in portals.
So, the goal became to show custom progress/status on the "gray screen" initial applet contentpane until our app desktop is ready to show. Known threading / painting issues during applet startup made this task somewhat non-trival.
Searched around here on the jdc & found a nice little Moving Ball class & used that as a base for the play app below. Thought I'd post this back to jdc in case anyone else finds it useful. The JApplet code has a main, so same code should work for the app whether deployed as a (plug-in) applet, application JAR or Web Start app.
The code should show a RED moving ball during init, a YELLOW one during start and a GREEN one after start method is done (w/ball x position update in scrolling pane)....
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.WindowListener;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
    cforster: Uses Ball painting code (from jdc) & separate status area to simulate JApplet
    startup msgs to be shown to user during applet init...
    Point is to show status during applet/application initialization (init / start) methods...
    Can JAR this up & try in appletviewer or using 1.4.2+ plugin, etc.
    With main() also usable in application / Webstart mode....
    If going the application route (or double-click JAR route), need JAR manifest.mf like:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Main-Class: Today
    Created-By: 1.4.2 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
public class Today extends JApplet {
    private static Today inst;
    // Ball color will change from RED (init) -> YELLOW (start) -> RED (start done)
    Color ballColor = Color.RED;
    final int colorSleep = 3000;    // Time to waste in init & start methods
    final int pauseSleep = 25;      // Time between Ball moves/draws
    JTextArea jta = new JTextArea("=== Status ===" + "\n", 50, 132);
    MovingBall movingBall = new MovingBall(jta);

Pause slide vs. TOC progress status

Hi again,
this project gives me hell! I almost finished but there is some ****... trouble again :-/
Whole project is just demo of set-up and some basics for MS Outlook.
For navigation im using only TOC. Progressbar below is included in SWF animation on each slide. (its not project progressbar).
Problem is that project continues to next slide afrer video(animation) ends. But i need it to stop after viewing whole video.
So i placed some transparent click box in slides with "no action" option and that solved my problem with project continuity,
unfortunately progress status in TOC isn´t working now because of that click box.
I would be grateful for some advice.
Thanks
Martin

Hello,
How is the Success Action for your Click box? Is it set to Continue so that the whole timeline of each slide is played?
Another possibility is acquiring the TickTOC widget of InfoSemantics.

Progress status setting in PPM

Hi Experts,
Can the default settings of number of days in Progress Status be set globally?
Path to Progress Status Settings:
PPM --> Target to Date --> More --> Options
Current default settings = 7, 50, 90 days
Desired default settings = 30, 60, 90
Please advise on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Gautam

very simple..we can set it through web ui directly. It is set globally for all the users regardless of organisation.

Disabling progress status window permanently

Is it possible to permanently disable the square progress status window that appears when I convert documents to PDF files?

I just canceled out of one yesterday afternoon running under LV 8.2 with no issue. If you are removing the old data, did you shutdown the app using the DB?
If that doesn't help the only answer I know of sounds like I am being a wise-arse.
Post an zip that demonstates this issue then "take two upgrades and post back next year."
I don't mind locked VI if they work. When they don't I have no choice but to be frutstrated. The lock-down tie-up with Shared variables combined with what appears to be poor testing (historical trends recall funtion swapped start and stop times because developer did not use type defs, intermittant lock-ups of the DB on multiple machines with absolutley no tools to troubleshoot, ... ) has resulted in me NOT recomending DSC for an app for a couple of years now. The only reason I still touch it is I have apps running DSC for ten years and they have to keep running.
Sorry to dump on you. If we ever meet we can discuss who is more disappointed.

Updates in progress - status non-compliant

I deployed my latest software updates (Patch Tuesday) a few days ago to my XP client collection (yes - I know it's going away soon :)) and I see that looking at the Deployment Status they are reading as
In progress but status set to non-compliant.
Strangely I had pushed the same deployment to my test collection a week previously and they had installed normally.
I had a look at various logs and everything seems to have no discernible errors but looking at a sample of the computers in question shows that the updates have NOT installed.
Opening the 'more details' pane for each computer shows that the software updates are set to a status of
required.
Confused as to where to look now to troubleshoot.
My software update deployment to my Windows 7 collection is successful. No errors in the deployment status window.
Any help or pointers are appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Hi,
If these update logs have no discernible errors, you could enable verbose logging to help you find more information.
Please check the logs in the following KB to find why were these updates not installed.

How to Stop workflow which is in Progress status.

Hi ,
I have started a workflow while testing , now it has reached to the inbox of different agents.
could you please suggest how to stop the workflow and rollback everything affected because of it .
best regards
abhijeet chitale

You could use the transaction SWIA to manually complete workitems. If you use the the workitem ID of the workflow instance you set the status of the workflow to logically deleted.
Other option is to use the object FLOWITEM with method statuschange to change the status to completed. Also go in there with the ID of your workflow instance.
However, my question is why you want to do this? If you're testing you could also just execute the workitem in the inboxes. Undo work which is done has to be executed manually.
Kind regards,

when it is complete. im trying to use an if statement to get it to
disappear, but i dont know what i should put in the if part. here
is my code...
one.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
var pictURL:String = "images/1.jpg"
var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pictURL);
pictLdr.load(pictURLReq);
holder.addChild(pictLdr);
//loading bar
var dataPath:String = "images/1.jpg";
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(dataPath));
var pb:ProgressBar = new ProgressBar();
pb.source = loader;
addChild(pb);
pb.x = 100
pb.y = 200
if (??????? == ????) {
removeChild(pb);
any suggestions????

well i figured it out....so ill answer my own question in
case it can help someone else. i didnt use an if statement...i used
a function statement instead. heres what it looks like...
one.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
var pictURL:String = "images/1.jpg"

loader.load(new URLRequest(dataPath));
var pb:ProgressBar = new ProgressBar();
pb.source = loader;
addChild(pb);
pb.x = 100
pb.y = 200
//remove bar
pb.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
pb.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
removeChild(pb);
hope that can help someone

Level 2 status question

recently recieved an email welcoming me to level 2 and it begins with:
Please include the line below in follow-up emails for this request.
Follow-up: 11111111 (random numbers in place of actual ones in the email)
I dont understand what this is..some type of id? Thanks!

It's only for answering the email in case you have any questions or remarks about your status and so on.
On that you should include that "follow up number" in the subject line of the eMail to identify the "follow up" mail and group all mails relating to you.
It's like a ticket number on support mails.
