Recording SAPGUI and Windows file dialogs

Has anybody been successful in recording some Windows dialogs that can popup in the flow of a particular SAPGUI scenario, as uploading a local file into SAP or downloading data to the PC. There is a windows file selection dialog which is used to select a file and I just can't record what happens inside. Playing back the recorded scenario makes it block.

Thank you Christian. I'll have a look at these as soon as I can, but I believe that was not the primary request. I think that the solution described in the tech-note 686674 is perfect, but unfortunately, the solution consist in installing a new support package. It consist in SAP_BASIS, release 60, from release 620 to 620. I'm not sure what can happen if the current release of the SAP_BASIS component is 700 - the note is a bit unclear on this. That is my primary question now...
Thanks in advance

How to incorporate File name and timestamp automatically into select and save file dialog box?

Hello,
i am trying to incorporate the file name which is inputed by the user along with the timestamp into the selected and save file dialog box. Can you help?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can pass a default file name to the 'File Dialog' Express VI.
Use the 'selected path' output to open the file.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

Copy CD with Mac and Windows Files

I have a CD, not copy protected that has both Mac files and Windows files on it. Specifically it is a Printer Driver CD.
When I make an image of it with Disk Utility, the only files in it are the Mac files. I wanted to make a safe backup of the CD, including both the Mac files (for my PB G4) and the Windows files for when I install the print drivers on my new MacBook Pro using BootCamp.
Any ideas as to how to make a copy of a CD that has both Mac and Windows files on it?
Thank you

Are you sure the Windows files aren't there? A lot of CDs are hybrids, and do not show the files that belong on another platform such as Windows. Put it in a Windows computer and check.
Otherwise, buy a copy of Toast and dupe it that way.

How to burn a dvd with both Mac and Windows files

Correction! It is a CD and there are two partitions with Mac and Windows files.

RW2 preview in finder and "Open file" dialog

Hello,
I run into a curiosity with RW2 file format (from LX3 and FZ38). In Finder, RW2 preview is not displayed and only default icon (black icon with text exec in corner). The same RW2 files does have correct preview, when I browse them in "Open file" dialog window (for example Safari > File > Open File...).
How it is possible the Finder and Open dialog do have different settings? Is it possible to copy these settings?
Thank You

Detect what file or folder was selected in Windows File Dialog

Hi, We have an Vibration Crontroller application that has is no DLL and no ActiveX support. I want to detect when that or any Windows application opnes a Windows "Open File Dialog" box. I'd then like to detect what file or folder was selected. Is that possible with LabVIEW? Thanks.

That routine decodes the binary data from registry to file path.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/bb762194(v=vs.85).aspx
Basically, the first byte of MRUListEx listing in registry is the index of last accessed file in the file list in the sub key. If you open up your registry and navigate to the key, you will figure it out.
Also you can drag and drop snippets on to your block diagram, if that doesnt work, save the png file to your computer and then drag and drop.

Ipod Photo storage and Windows Files

Slightly technical question: I download photos from my Canon camera (EOS 300D) to my Ipod. Then upload to my computer and a file is created in Windows (My pictures) using the date the photos are taken.
When I want to delete the photos from My Pictures I can delete individual photos but not the whole folder which claims 'cannot delete zb.thumbnail.info:it is being used by another person or program....'
There is no problem with deleting all photos / folders in the ipod.
Is there any camera / computer / ipod techie out there who can suggest a way of deleting these unwanted folders in my computer?

Thanks for the reply. The only problem will be that after a time I will end up with lots of empty folders cluttering up my pictures so it would be nice to get rid of them.
Do you know how to find out what programme it is linked too and if there is a way round it that means I can still delete them?
Best wishes,
Robert

Issues with Mac OS X Server 10.4.8 and Windows File sharing

We are having lots of issues with our SMB share on Mac OS X Server 10.4.8. The main issues are the following:
- Group ACLs seem to not work properly, and I have had to add dozens of manual permissions on a per-user basis
- Often, users open a file in read-only mode, without any reason, and can't modify it
- Often, users open a file with full write access, but then cannot save it and have to use a "save as function".
After having looked all over the Internet and on the Apple's discussions forum, it seems like this issue has been around for quite some time now:
http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?forumID=702&threadID=&q=smbANDpermissions&objID=f702&dateRange=thisyear&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1546867&#1546867
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=647251
And no real answer/solution has been provided by Apple yet.
I also looked on Samba related pages, and it seems like these issues were Samba related (both ACL/OpenLDAP and Microsoft Office file handling issues), and the current version of Samba (3.0.23c) seem to have solved lots of issues in these areas:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.23c.html
Apple ships Samba 3.0.10 (16 Dec 2004) with 10.4.8, which makes the shipping version at list 15 versions (and 18 months) behind the current Samba release (30 Aug 2006).
People within the company are obviously quite unhappy with the situation and beyond me looking like a fool for migrating from Windows Server to OS X, I now need to find a solution to the issues.
I would like to know what is the official and Apple recommended way to solve this issue.
Kind regards,
Pejvan
It seems like Apple is totally ignoring the issues, users are facing with SMB shares, while their emphasize as a selling point how OS X Server is a great "windows file" server.

Hiya
Thanks for the reply.
>Is there a UPS involved?
I wish there had been. I might not be having to deal with it now! :-)
>If you boot from the Install Disc & use System Profiler there, does the Same RAM situation? Did you physically >check those slots? Thinking maybe the OS is kicking them out on bootup?
I've had the following suggested to me on another forum - "My guess on the RAM error is this. You have a processor that wants the RAM to be dual channeled and since it reads both A slot are populated it wants both B slots to be populated. Remove A2 and put it in B1"
But unless it is degrading performance I'll probably just leave it.
> Still can't get it to boot from the Clone holding the Option/alt key at bootup?
I can get it to boot from the Clone using the option key but it's a pretty random event. I can try for ages and then suddenly it'll work. Or it may work first time. It does seems to work more easily after a PRAM zap. The funny thing is that once it is booted up it will re-start in any way I want it to (the boot volume, the clone, a disk, single user mode etc). It is just hard to boot from a full shutdown.
I'm thinking that if I ca get the start-up issue fixed then I can fix the RAID issue at my leisure and even add the hard-drive that the clone is currently on to the RAID array.
Thanks again.

"Save As" and "Open" file dialog windows very slow to appear...

I have a home network with 4 PCs, three using XP/3 and 1 using Win7. Until recently, I had the three XP boxes in one workgroup (not homegroup) and the Win7 box in a different workgroup. Everything was running fine. I got anal and decided
to rename some of the boxes and put them all in one workgroup, the one that the Win7 box is in.
Immediately after I did all that, I noticed that every time I did a "save as" file function on the Win7 box, no matter the application, the dialog window took much longer to appear - sometimes almost 10 seconds. This is not the case on the XP
boxes.
Following a suggestion I got on the Microsoft Answers Forum, I removed all the shares on my network and even removed the 3 XP boxes from the network, and I turned off Network Discovery. The problem persisted. Only when I disabled my LAN
connection did the dialog windows appear instantly, as they had done before. I have now restored the original configuration, but the "save as" dialog window continues to come up very slowly on the Win7 box.
Any thoughts, clues or suggestions as to how to fix this non-critical but very irritating problem would be greatly appreciated...

I've hit a similar problem since (or at least exaserbated since) changing to a new ISP service (BT Total Broadband) which included a wifi router upgrade. LAN has a stable Win XP SP3 fully updated, a W7 also fully updated (I love Office) and a previously
stable Zyxel router. Then this occasional problem: File -> Save As from any application stops dead for up to a few minutes, no CPU burn so waiting on interupt or external event. Patience, then it works.
So I'm guessing a confused IP table somewhere. I'm off to play with using fixed IP addresses and lease expiries in the LAN part of the new router's config to see if that makes it easier for XP to handle closed connections.
And isn't there a "not persistent" option somewhere ...
But I don't networked drives, I use shortcuts with network addresses.
More anon after some exploration.

Can you partition an external hard drive to run both mac and windows files

I have an external hard drive fomated for windows NTFS. I am unable to Write mac files to this drive. I need to be able to share the files
between both platforms. Any suggestions? Thanks

Format it as MS-DOS from a Mac or exFAT from a PC, or install Mac OS X software which allows it to write to NTFS drives, or hook it up to a PC and make it available as a network share.

FileIO and Windows file updating

I am having a file problem with my Director application. I have two Director MX applications which run on different computers. They communicate with each other via a text file which is stored at a networked location. Both applications access the file and write to it. I have several users using the applications at the same time. Potentially, I could have 1 user using AppA and 8 users using AppB at one time.
I am using the FileIO extra. When a user needs to update the file, the applications follow these steps:
     create the Fileio object
     open the file with write access
     read the file
     delete the file
     create the file
     open the file with write access
     write to the file
     close the file
     set the Fileio object to 0
The problem occurs intermittently when users are accessing the file at approximately the same time. There are times when the correct information has apparently not been written to the file. For example, AppA reads the file, AppB reads the file, AppA writes new information to the file, AppB writes different new information to the file. Basically AppB's changes win and AppA's changes are lost.
There also have been instances where the correct information has been written, but a user has accessed the information almost immediately and they receive the old information. If I check the file later, the correct information is there. I have seen similar behavior in the past where I've made changes to a text file but another application accessing that file still receives the old information. I believe this is a Windows issue where the file changes have not been actually stored yet.
I really have two problems. First, there is apparently no way to lock the text file for the entire time it is being updated. I'm not sure this is solvable using Director and the FileIO xtra. Except for the moment between the delete and the open, I should have the file locked to other users. There is apparently no way, with the FileIO capability, of locking the file for the entire time.
The second problem is the Windows issue with file changes taking some time to synch up. Is there a way to force the Windows text file to accept the changes so that I can be sure the next user is getting the absolutely latest file? I'm not sure how to describe the problem exactly to search for solutions. Is there a term for this?
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.

If you have multiple instances of the same app using a single file then you should probably be using a database.
If you want a simple, free and portable solution then I suggest checking out Valentin's SQLite Xtra here: http://staff.dasdeck.de/valentin/xtras/sqlite/

What happened to Active Directory and Windows file shares?

Hello all,
i have a few questiona about the integration in active directory. I recently updated to Lion (most certainly without proper risk analysis on the consequences...)
First:
How can one connect to a windows share?
If trying in finder and CMD+k "smb://server/share" a message appears stating i have insufficient rights.
Great, in Snow Leopard one was presented a credentials window, where is it gone? (as most macbook users wont join the domain completely...)
Next try: "smb://DOMAIN;User@server/share" same result...
Second:
Is there any support for DFS (Distributed File System) included in Lion? This would be _very_ much appreciated!
Thanks for your help (hopefully)

Hi JFlynn12,
Are you using fully qualified DNS name for the server?
ie:
if your realm is domain.company.com then your FQD for the server would typically be server.company.com. or server.domain.company.com . this is of corse assuming your DNS is properly set for the DNS / DHCP server. x.x.x.x => server.company.com and server.company.com => x.x.x.x .
With that in mind you would expect smb://server.company.com or smb://server.domain.company.com
give it a try, let me know if it works.

Odd and annoying file dialog behavior

First, I wish to point out that I do not use iTunes at all - have yet to even run the app for the first time on this current install (this problem was also evident on the prior install before I performed a complete erase and install for other reasons).
From time to time when I access the file open or save dialog, instead of pointing to either the last used folder or just my home directory, it will be opened to the iTunes library (and as I said, I have no use for iTunes; the main reason being is I can't hear).
There is no one app for which this happens consistently, so it's hard to describe how to replicate this issue; I just wanted to hear if anyone else has seen this issue and the solution (if one exists). I did ask on this in the past but got only chirping crickets in response.

No solution. Only chirping crickets. DXXNIT!

10.8.4 (server) and windows file sharing problem

Hello
This is a clean install of 10.8.4 and server apps not and upgrade of 10.5.8
(This server had a working 10.5.8 server install.... sigh!)
AFP, SMB and guest access enabled on all shares
Guest sharing enabled in the User accounts in System prefences.
from any Mac station AFP:// and SMB:// works fine using Guest access or typing in any name.
No Windows station ( Win 7, XP, SRV 2008 ) can connect to the shares successfully.
Tried from stations that are part a local domain and others who are just in a WGRP
When attempting to connect to the Mac server shares the log in window appears and
no matter what is typed in ( Even the Mac server admin account) or guest
the connection fails
Error: is not accessible, you might not have permission to use this network resource
the remote procedure call failed

I'm actually having the same issues as Shawn. No non-Mac computers can connect to the new Mac Pro server (10.8.4) using SMB. Mac users can use SMB or AFP without issue.
Here's a screenshot of the message Windows users are seeing:
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get this fixed? This is urgent!
