PropertyChange progress value

Hello,
I'm trying to create a progress bar in my program when a user uploads a File.
I've created a class that extends SwingWorker to upload a file using FTP. I'm creating an instance of the class and adding a propertychange listener to it. But when I run it the only calls im getting from the propertyChange method are two states that tell me when the file upload has started and when its finished. The file upload works fine. I've been reading this tutorial http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/progress.html and it looks like I should be getting the progress aswell, so I can use it in a progress bar.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Hi Benny,
it depends on the setting for the EV basis, which is done in the customizing for the Progress Version. There you can choose between:
- cost plan (annual values, per periods) e.g. via transaction CJR2
- cost plan (overall values) e.g. via transaction CJ40
- budget (annual values)
- budget (overall values)
The calculation of the BCWS and BCWP is done for each object. This means that the budget/planned costs from the relevant object are used for the calculation of the Earned Value. So if there is a POC for this object, but no budget or planned costs, then the EVs will be zero.
Besides this you should check whether this is just a reporting problem. Therefore you should check whether there are entries in table COSB with value type 'P1' and/or 'P2' for the relevant objects. If there are entries then check whether there are corresponding entries in table RPSCO (Project Info Database) with the same value types.
If these entries are missing, check the assignment to value categories of the cost elements that you have maintained for the Progress Analysis (cost elements can be found in IMG Project System -> Progress -> Progress Analysis -> Maintain Assignment Of Cost Element Group).
The assignment of cost elements to value categories can be done via transaction OPI2.
I hope that these informations will help you.
Kind regards,
Dirk

Migration of Cost Transaction Work In Progress Values into the Projects

Hi,
Can anyone kindly help me out in the approach to adopt for the Open Work in progress value migration into the projects applications of Oracle Applications.
Thanks in Advance,
Lavanya
Edited by: Lavan ya on Nov 15, 2009 12:54 AM

Hi
The migration strategy depends on the way the company will for forward with its accounting procedure.
I assume the project is incurring costs as work occurs, and supplier invoices are entered. At the end of the period the company need to move the value of costs which has not matched to the period revenue into a GL account representing the Work in Progress. If the model is calculating the figures on the marginal period, and not accumulated ITD amount, then your approach may be valid.
The question regarding converting the project invoices (sent to customer) also depends on the method you accrue revenue. If Revenue and Invoice is always taken on the same time for the same value, you don't need to maintain UBR&UER balances. However, if those are generated separately, you might need to convert into Projects also the old revenue and old invoiced amount per project.
Converting historic data also depends on the requirements for future reporting. If you only convert the balance of WIP, you might be missing information for reporting actual cost versus cost budgets, etc.

TFS 2012 - How to Import bulk of historical WI's via EXCEL, with already progressed values in State field within the excel

A user wants to import into TFS, ~ 500 historical bugs that were created and maintained in an excel template outside TFS. While they were maintained outside TFS, the user changed among others, the value of their Status field as well, i.e. there are bugs
in a progressed state e.g. already in status Closed.
Since normally in TFS, one could not directly create a new bug in State = Closed, an error would be yielded when trying to import them as is into regular Team Project. Can u please advise how to easily solve this, without hindering the state diagram of the
model in TFS, and as possible by utilizing GUI of Excel / TFS / other available tool for this purpose ?
Kind thx,

Hi!
You may use excel features for this. Simply copy & paste the state column:
Publish 500 new bugs.
Copy & paste the state column from your source table and publish.
But the reason for state may not be correct. So you may use the more difficult way:
For Source table create the custom state columns (for the cmmi template states Proposed->Active->Resolved->Closed) by this rules:
(Active state column) if (source state == "Active" || source state == "Resolved" || source state == "Closed") { value = Active } else { value = source state }
(Resolved state column) if (source state == "Resolved" || source state == "Closed") { value = Resolved } else { value = source state }
(Closed state column) if (source state == "Closed") { value = Closed } else { value = source state }
Then Publish new bugs.
Copy&paste (Active state column) values and publish.
Copy&paste (Resolved state column) values and publish.
Copy&paste (Closed state column) values and publish.

WIP, RA with Method 07-POC Method on Basis of Project Progress value

Hello, we are currently using RA under a Basis of work completed method, and this works well in our system. We are using the standard SAP functionality, and within our system this means revenue is recognised based on Earned Revenue = actual cost/planned cost x planned revenue. The system automatically processes accruals/deferrals on our projects taking into account the invoiced values also, as part of the RA & settlement process.
I need to find some information describing this process specific to this selection of method 07, and can't seem to find anything. I have tried saying it is Standard functionality but need to be able to explain alittle more about how this works.
Can anyone help with this, have they also produced something similar.
Points always awarded

Hi Wndy
I have send a mail to you.
The RA, I was doing is POC based on Plan over Plan method using 07
As of now it's working. Still doing some testing.. Once it's complete I am happy to share the same here.

Progress Bar Never 100%

Ok, kind of an odd issue, but I've got a script that can take a considerable amount of time to run due to all the sub-scripts. Anyway, I've setup a progress bar to work with it so I can tell how far it is. The only problem is, unless there is an alert or something that pauses the script (like a pop-up), the bar NEVER shows 100% full; even if I use an in-script pause such as the sleep command. Any ideas how to fix this? An example script is below and also never reaches 100% filled bar.
#target photoshop
var list = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six"];
var w = new Window ("palette");
var progress = progress_bar (w, list.length);
for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
    progress.value = i+1;
    // user functions
    $.sleep (400);
progress.parent.close();
function progress_bar (w, stop) {
    var pbar = w.add ("progressbar", undefined, 1, stop);
    pbar.preferredSize = [300,20];
    w.show ();
    return pbar;
I've also tried adding "w.show();" immediately after the "progress.value = i+1;" and still nothing; but like I said, if an alert pauses the script, it will work right. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!

Lol, ok, now I feel stupid. I actually found the fix for the issue on my own. To fix it, simply replace the $.sleep(400); with w.update(); (the sleep is pointless and pretty much just slows down your script).

Php redirect based on value not working?

Hello, i have a signup page, a login page, failed.php and a landing page once they have signed up.
the user signs up (application-formP1.php) then once they have done this they are redirected to the next page (application-formP2.php) they then have other information to add.
on application-formP1.php there is a redirect that if the user has finished with the page (completed it) they are directed to application-formP2.php
if($status == "P1complete")
          header("location: application-formP2.php");
the trouble i am having is if i just try to access application-formP1.php ( which is the signup page) it is automatically sending the user to application-formP2.php even if they are not signed in then because they are not signed in it is sending the user to the failed page (obiously because the retstrict user is working)
i have included the code below for application-formP1.php

Progress dialogs for (eager and lazy) downloads

<resources progress="all-downloads">
</resources>
Where 'progress' values are
"standard" - default behaviour if omitted - progress
dialog for eager downloads only
"all-downloads" - progress dialog supplied for all
downloads, eager or lazy.
"none" - (suggest) no progress dialogsThe 'progress' attribute is not something in the
web start API, but I would like to see it added.
The intent is to allow the JNLP file to suggest a
behaviour for progress dialogs during the download
of both eager and lazy resources.
Currently (web start in 1.5), there is no progress
dialog, or message of any kind, during the download
of 'lazy' resources.
My questions.
Is it technically feasible to provide this ability?
Does it conform to the web start ..framework?
Would an RFE to add support for this 'progress'
attribute (call it what you like) be well received
(or disappear into the abyss as some other
requests assigned an ..'internal review ID'
sometimes seem to)?
More generally to other forum members, is
this something that is important to you?
Would you vote for an RFE to support the
progress dialog attribute?

ScheduleWorld used to use around 40 jars and I noticed a big speedup when I started using the version protocol. Now, my httpd logs only report a HTTP HEAD request on the jnlp file (sometimes icon image too?) and the app starts quite fast. I use less jars now but I am sure the main thing is the switch to the version protocol.
With the version protocol, the client can determine if it has all of the right versions without making network connections. If you have a slow network connection (like a modem) and/or your server has keepalive disabled and is rate-limited to the number of new connections/second to the same IP you could see exactly what you are describing.

Default progress version in project objects

hi all,
is it possible to have a default progress version in projects.. note, i am referring to progress version, not measurement method...
my main requirement is to have progress values but no need to maintain progress version in progress tab of WBS and activities...
is this possible using substitution or user exit or is it possible no need to maintain prog version in wbs but still have poc values..
thanks.

NPE on updating components

Hello.
I'm doing an applet using Swing. I've set Nimbus LAF first think in init() and called SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI() just in case.
I have a JProgressBar that I update during a long calculation. My long calculation is done on the doBackground() of the SwingWorker. I call a method to set the JProgressBar indeterminate, maximum, minimum and progress values. All those methods are called using SwingUtilities.invokeLater(). All of them work fine EXCEPT setIndeterminate(), that throws the following NPE.

Anyone have any idea?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Of course, I set the LAF in the EDT. I've modified it and added the code to run on the EDT to my constructor just in case something is calling first a Swing component and the LAF is being set before I set the LAF (but that's what SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI() is for, isn't it?) but it made no differences.
Thanks a lot for your response, I'll be testing a little bit more and I'll try to make a standalone app that reproduces the problem.

ps. if you know a little of XPath, this is why text() is a special kind of node()...

Reading from XML file using DOM parser.

Hi,
I have written the following java code to read the XML file and print the values. It reads the XML file. It gets the node NAME and prints it. But it returns null when trying to get the node VALUE. I am unable to figure out why.
Can anyone please help me with this.
Thanks and Regards,
Shweta

because what you want is not the node value of CODE but the node value of the text nodes into it!
assuming only one text node into it, try this:

Batch HDR Merging/Toning Script

I've seen a number of different posts on these forums about trying to do this and I never really found a complete and suitable solution. It also has really annoyed me that adobe never implemented this (and it's not possible to do with actions because the action just runs a script and you can't record the HDR toning settings, the dialog always pops up, its in the script). So I finally had some time to get my hands dirty with ExtendScript and I have created a fully featured script complete with UI that allows batch creation of HDR tonned images in photoshop.
The code I got working from various snipets of code I found around the 'net and single stepping through the MergeToHDR.jsx script that is built into photoshop.
This has only been partially tested on photoshop CC on a mac. Hopefully I made it portable enough and it will work on windows and older versions. I don't think the MergeToHDR script has changed much in the last several versions (and that is mainly what I call to do the work) so I think it should work. If you have issues please let me know.
My motivation for this script was coming up with a way to do batch HDR toning for timelapse and so this script's features lean toward using it for that end. I really didn't want to buy another separate program for doing this like photomatix, when I knew it should at least be possible to do in photoshop.
I uploaded the script to github:
https://github.com/davidmilligan/PhotoshopBatchHDR/blob/master/Batch%20HDR.jsx
How to use:
Drop the script in the '[photoshop folder]/presets/scripts' folder and restart photoshop if it is already running.
The script should appear as a menu item under File>Automate>Batch HDR...
A dialog will appear where you specify all the settings for the batch
Input Section:
Click browse and select the source folder that contains the images to be merged/toned
Specify "Number of Brackets" this is how many separate images to group into a single HDR output image (the script will group the images in the source folder in order based on this parameter). You can use a value of 1, which means each image in the source folder is separate and will be toned and output. (I find that many times when shooting RAW, 14 bits is ample to capture the full dynamic of the scene, so I do not waste storage space and shutter acutations using more than one exposure, just make sure to ETTR, also post-processing with this script will be faster)
If there are other files in your source folder (for example .xmp files) that you need to exclude you can specify a filte. For example: *.cr2
Typically for timelapse you are using a tripod and do not need to have photoshop align the images, but I provided that capability for anyone who might need it b/c it was easy to enable. Note that enabling this will make the process MUCH slower.
Toning Section:
These settings are all the same as the photoshop HDR toning dialog for "Local Adaptation"
To preview what your toning settings will look like you can select any file(s) in your sequence by clicking "Select File(s)..." under "Preview". The file(s) you select will open and merge (if more than one file). When that's finished you can click the "Update Preview" button to apply the current toning settings and see what they will look like (I can't do the fast, automatic previews like the builtin dialog, sorry - somebody from adobe want to show me how to do this?)
You can see what the settings will look like at another point in your sequence by clicking the "Select File(s).." button again. (I recommend previewing a shot near the beginning, middle, and end of your sequence)
The dialog prevents you from using anything in photoshop while its open so I provided a zoom to allow you to zoom in on the preview
The tone curve you must enter as a comma separated list of points (sorry, ScriptUI is not really adequate to create the graphical histogram overlay for the curves like in the builtin dialog). The points are grouped into x,y pairs so for example: x1,y1,x2,y2,etc. Typically you will start with 0,0 and end with 255,255 (note that 255 is the max, full white). Like the curves tool, x represents the input and y represents the output
Output Section:
Click browse and select a folder for the script to save the output files to
The rest of this section should be self explanitory. NOTE: If you select to output 32bit files, the toning will not be applied, the files will simply be merged into a 32bit HDR image and saved.
Once you have specified the input and output folders the OK button should be enabled, when you are ready, click OK to start the process
Go watch a movie or take a nap, this is going to take a while. The script will display a progress window showing you how far along the proces is (the photoshop progress windows may occasionally appear on top of it, I usually just move them up a little so I can see both)
Limitations:
Only the local adaptation method is supported. It's really the only one I ever use, and I didn't really feel like implementing the other ones, but feel free to modify the script yourself to add this support
You canot load or save presets from the builtin toning dialog. The format of the preset files is binary and would require reverse engineering of the format and it would be very difficult to read to the files in javascript anyway. If it were xml, it would be much easier, alas it is not. Feel free to grab a hex editor and do this yourself. For now you'll just have to copy all of the values of a preset by hand into the dialog if you want to use a preset. If I have more time this is something I might work on.
Preview is slow because it has to do the actual full toning, I don't know a way to do the fast real time previews like the builtin dialog.
I don't think the "Cancel" button on the progress window really works, once running, the script is too busy to register a click, anybody know how I might fix this?
There may potentially be some ways to improve performance of this script in certain scenarios, IDK, but I'm just glad it works
You're welcome Adobe, you can send me a check at:

Please hit me up with comments/suggestions,

Thank you for your script, it's very useful.
I just changed a few things :
The Checkboxes didn't work so I changed them :
alignCheckBox.onChanged by alignCheckBox.onClick
deghostCheckBox.onChanged by deghostCheckBox.onClick
smoothEdgesBox.onChange by smoothEdgesBox.onClick
And for best alignment, I changed :
mergeToHDR.mergeFilesToHDR( currentFileList, false, hdrDeghosting ? kMergeToHDRDeghostBest : kMergeToHDRDeghostOff );
by :
mergeToHDR.mergeFilesToHDR( currentFileList, mergeToHDR.useAlignment, hdrDeghosting ? kMergeToHDRDeghostBest : kMergeToHDRDeghostOff );
And lastly :
My language is french so I had to modify loadPreset function because my own preset file contains the string "P a r   d é f a u t" in place of "D e f a u l t" so that the data is shifted.
Here is the code :

I have a chart that has four vertical bar graphs. The results
show how much percentage of a goal has been reached. If/when any
bar exceeds the 100% of goal mark, I bump the scaleTo up to 200 and
show a horizontal line at the 100% mark. Everything works as
expected, except when the horizontal line is displayed - the colors
set for my bars are ignored and all are changed to a pea green (the
horizontal line remains black as set). Any thoughts?
<cfchart format="swf"
chartWidth="650"
scaleTo="#goal#"
showXGridlines="no"
showYGridlines="yes"
gridlines="11"
show3d="no"
showmarkers="no"
xAxisTitle="Category"
yAxisTitle="Percent of Goal"
fontsize="12">
<cfif goal IS 200>
<cfchartseries type="line" seriescolor="000000">
<cfchartdata item="Monthly Progress" value="100">
<cfchartdata item="Delivered to Shipping" value="100">
<cfchartdata item="Invoiced" value="100">
<cfchartdata item="Bookings" value="100">
</cfchartseries>
</cfif>
<cfchartseries type="bar" colorlist="999999, cc0000,
00cc00, 0000cc">
<cfchartdata item="Monthly Progress" value="#gone#">
<cfchartdata item="Delivered to Shipping"
value='#del#'>
<cfchartdata item="Invoiced" value='#inv#'>
<cfchartdata item="Bookings" value='#book#'>
</cfchartseries>
</cfchart>

This is a bug in cfcharts with more than one series.
Either the entire column (for all series) has the same color
or the entire series has the same color.
Attached is a work-around that may work for your specific
example.
