Retrieving System Information

Can I retrieve the computer name from within Livecycle Designer? I want the users name to automatically show when they open the form.

Nope ....you can have access to the information object that exists in Acrobat but if it is not set then there is no information to get.

How to retrieve system Information on client machine Using Applets

How to retrieve video card information on client machine using applets and JNI, please suggest me on this
Thanks
GReddy

1. Research platform specific OS API to do whatever you want with video cards
2. Write C/C++ code to wrap the functionality in 1 into something looks closer to what you want to see in java
3. Write a class that models the functionality of 2 with native methods.
4. Write the native methods of 3 such that they call the methods of 2.
Note that steps 1 and 2 have NOTHING to do with jni nor java. So you start by looking somewhere else for the answers to that.

The file you'll be looking for that has most of what you're looking for - messages, address book, etc. is the Entourage Database. The verison of Microsoft Office I run (on Lion) is Office 2008. By default the Entourage Database for this verison is at user/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/Main Identity/Database. That folder (Main Identitty) also has your rules, signatures, and such. You'll have to recover this file from whatever backup you have. If you have a different version of Entourage, the file location will be a little diffferent.
Good luck

Retrieving Creative System Information and Software Autoupdate Iss

Hello,
I've been having a problem with a few things in my X-Fi Platinum software.
First when I attempt to retrieve the System Information using the Creative tool, I get an MS error report stating a problem with ctsi.exe and as such I've been unable to send proper information to tech support, so I'm attempting here.
Second whenever I attempt the Software Autoupdate I get another MS error report and the program closes down stating a problem with iexplore.exe . I get as far as installing the Acti've X controls, but shortly after installation the error report pops up and my browser closes down. I've attempted to remove the Acti've X controls and reinstall it but to no avail. I've un then reinstalled the software and drivers but with no hope towards this issue. I have reinstalled IE
These features were working for me on my last configuration, however after changing motherboards when the previous died, it has come to an abrupt end. The previous motherboard was an older version from the newly installed. I am unable to determine if this is a mobo issue as the only problem I have with this system is certain aspects of the sound cards' software, and the mobo is the only change that has been made.
My relevant system specs are as follows:
Motherboard: Asus P4P800 SE
CPU: 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium Prescott
RAM: Gb Kingston
Chipset: Intel 865PE, ICH5R
OS: Windows Media Center 2005 Edition
I have attempted a clean install of the operating system itself, installed all Windows updates aside from .NET Framework 2.0, and also reintalled Direct X.
I looked into other trouble threads with no solution found although there may seem to be Asus issues, the only difference is a slightly different model, (previous motherboard was an Asus P4P800X and everything ran fine with the Creative software). These are the only two features that are not working for me, every other aspect runs perfectly fine. On my previous configuration, there were a few critical updates installed, however when searching the downloads section, those same updates are not available there. MCE and XP I understand are almost hand in hand, but would rather not use the wrong firmware or drivers by any means.
I am at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated including any relevant threads I may have overlooked. If any other information is needed to troubleshoot the issue, please let me know.
Thanks

You might just try reinstalling the drivers & software first, see this http://forums.creative.com/creativel...d=23573#M23573

Retrieve System H/w Information

Hi, Is it possible through JAVA to get the system information like manufacturere of the PC, model number,type, processorsinstalled,clock speed,L2CacheSize,Physical drives,manufacturer,no of cylinders, video adapters installed etc. There's C#.NET code which uses WMI to get this information on a Windows machine. Now I have to transform this into java so that the program can capture information on any machine(Windows/Linux/Solaris etc).
Thanks in Advance.

No.
Java's raison d'etre is to insulate you from machine specifics so there aren't any APIs for gathering this kind of low level detail.
You could create a JNI library to garner it, but that would eliminate most of the advantages of using Java in the first place.
A limited subset of that information is probably available from system properties.
Some of the information you're looking for seems very odd to me. For example, why do you care about the number of cylinders on the drive? The value returned is a completely virtual number anyway. Drives map physical cylinders to an arbitrary cylinder number for historical reasons - some drives don't even have platters!

Explorer error "Failed to retrieve the Information Spaces list." from HANA

I am getting this dumb error "Failed to retrieve the Information Spaces list. // Request timed out" in Explorer's "Manage Spaces" area every time I click on the analytic view listed under my HANA sources of the Explorer. So, my HANA source is visible, and analytic views are visible in Explorer as well, but I cannot get any Information Space created because of the error, and I could not find the error and its causes in Explorer docs.
I already
- upgraded HANA db to Rev 18 (for some reasons I cannot u[grade this system to SPS3 yet) and BIP and Explorer 4.0 are on the latest Patch 8 of SP2.
- configured connection using IDT defined connection,
- restarted servers in CMS already 100s of times.
There is enough free space on the BO server's drive: 33GB. BO is a single server based on Win2008 R2 SP1 with 40GB RAM.
Any ideas what else I can do to get rid of this issue? It is a test server, so I cannot open customer msg to SAP Support.
Thanks,

System information & Product codes

Lion OS brought system information as the new system profiler. While with the latter i knew how to retrieve codes of softwares (iLife, iWork and so on), I cannot find any way to do the same with the newer one. Anyone has a clue?

With 'the latter' i meant the last i mentioned in the previous sentence! In SL OS you can find those MPN codes through the system profiler > hardware view just next to the sales order number label.

Polymorphism - retrieving type information from thedatabase

Daniel,
Yes I have always thought, that modeling the real world can lead to objects
that are unnecessary or overly complex relationships that do exist in the
real world but may not have to in a computing environment. Many times,
business models could be greatly simplified if the modelers factored out
interfaces from objects so that these interfaces could be applied based on
need of behavior without having to always construct class hierarchies in a
particular behavioral structure. Or they could benefit greatly by applying
design patterns to enhance delegation. But the problem with both of these
pieces of advice is that they assume the modeler is well versed and
understands how to apply these concepts. Many application developments I
come across are being done by a group of people that have never used an OO
tool before. With an audience such as this, how are they supposed to get
started?
Usually they will look and analyze the real-world. This will give them a
starting point in which to conduct dialog for building an object model. I
think I do know how these advanced strategies I described above are applied,
yet I always ask a customer to explain the real-world example of something
before I attempt at understanding their model and make any attempts at
advising changes. This assures that I and they have a better physical
understanding of an interaction before we attempt to describe an abstract
model of the same interaction.
As far as sharing of business objects, it is quite routine for a company to
have one group of IT application developers create a subsystem with business
objects that must be SHARED by another group of IT application developers.
The different subsystems have points of interconnect. These points can be
at the architectural level or business object level. So I don't think this
situation is as rare as you state. Further, I can see that the marketplace
is pushing more for run-time object sharing and collaboration so that this
will be the norm and not the exception.
I agree on the importance of custom routing for performance. I think it is
complex enough that I would stop short of telling people to spend time
building such a scheme. I would hate to see an application miss delivery
because the developers got too entangled in technical problems like custom
routing. But I do happen to know of a Framework product that has this as
one of its features. :)
I agree 100% with you the complexity of Forte is the marrying of object and
distributed technologies. I don't agree that frameworks cannot provide the
answer. I look at a framework as more than just a technical solution. We
use our framework to help divide the responsibilities between Business
Analyst, GUI Architect, Back-end Architect, GUI Developers and Back-End
developers. At many customers, some people play all of these roles. At
some customers, a developer may play just the GUI Developer role until he
can come up to speed on how to build simple views that are used to build
more complex windows. In this way, a large problem can be broken down into
a set of much smaller problems to help the architects manage work load and
education of the team. Without a framework that supports this sort of
approach, the architects of the application would have to delay development
until boundaries could be put in place. This can be very time consuming and
cause application rewrites if the boundaries were guessed wrong. In the
Forte marketplace today, there are products to help people set up those
architectural boundaries. It simply is more cost effective to buy one of
these solutions then it is to have your team spend time on this and add risk
to your project. In other words, architecture for a Forte development can
be bought much more cheaply than it can be created.

Subject: Re: Polymorphism - retrieving type information from the
database
Mark,
The battle question was only a little provocation : it seems that Forte
people and yours don't have exactly the same point of view about the way
that distribution should be made.
The problem I see on modeling the real world is that the hypothesis
seems to
be wrong : the world will never be as static as the modeling in my point
of
view. The fact is that when you try to model real world you will add
many
concepts you don't really need for the application. Those concepts may
change
with time. In my own experience I have seen that if you don't have a
real
concrete objective, it is very easy to imagine many things which won't
be
usefull when the real aim will come. That's why I think that in a
pragmatic
point of view it is better (in a cost view that's right) to focus on a
good
modeling of the system you have to build. For instance, in an exotic
currencies options system, you can imagine modeling for the Front a
system
without the product concepts, but only rules, because it is the real
world.
But when you come to the Back Office, you realize that all is managed
through
product concept. Then you come back to the Front modeling and break a
lot
of work. In the real world, the product concept does not exist, that's
right.
But it is a way to manage operations.
We all speak about Business Objects (and rules) share and re-use. I
imagine
that it is only applicable on some specific domains where the concepts
are
already shared as Insurance, Banking or Risk management on shares. This
is
because we have common rules for all companies : some financial markets
are
organized with public rules and constraints for instance. So the
difference
between companies is only on the service and not really in the business
foundations. But, in most cases, the differences between competitors are
on their business, their know how.
I have some difficulties to imagine companies with specific know how
sharing
it with competitors! So I imagine that shared business objects will be
very poor.
The problem may be that Business components will be provided by editors
like
Microsoft or may be Forte (with Express evolutions may be). But, the
business of their clients is not in the job of those providers : they
may
have a wrong view of the business of their customers, because they don't
have their know how.
On routage capabilities of manager, I agree on the technical point of
view.
This should be inherited from a service definition from Forte or a
technical
component. But, I have seen (on financial markets) that you also need
business
routage for scalability and performance. This is unfortunatly not in
Forte and
may be not really in technical frameworks on the market. Just an example
You have a financial market which is managed on several physical sites
(let's
take 2 sites). When everything is ok, you have one instance of a service
on each
site, first one managing some kind of instances (futures for instance)
and the
second one managing other kinds of instances (options for instance). But
when the
first site falls, you need (at run-time and if possible without stopping
the market)
to reconfigure the second service to manage all the instances (futures
and options).
So this is linked to business really. That's right, I base the
reflection on a very
specific (and experienced) case where the cost of the IT system is very
low compared
to the money exchanged on the system : you can imagine very specific
solutions.
The main problem I see today is that people have real difficulties to
integrate
object and distribution concepts and that Forte is to hard for Cobol or
Visual
Basic developpers. So those kinds of product should be more encapsulated
and
packaged on a push button way. The solution of making frameworks may be
very
short term solution, because of the cost and limitations about coverage
of the
clients specific objectives. Those problems come from Client/server
architectures
and needs, in my opinion, and NOT specifically from Forte or other
competitors.

Daniel,
I hope not. For SCAFFOLDS works only because of Forte and when I make
someone a happy SCAFFOLDS customer then they are also a happy Forte
customer. So if we sell more SCAFFOLDS, Forte sells moreForte. If there
is a battle between us, I certainly don't understand why,because we are on
the same team with the same goal.
I have always found customer have a different role than you have pointed
out. While I agree with the objectives, I have found most clients do
actually try to model the real world. They do it because it is an easy
starting point. They also do it because most OO books on the subject of
modeling point people in that direction. So they do indeedplay the role of
God with the business object model. But I have found thesesame customers
unwilling to play the role of God with the architecture. Theyare either
new to Forte and distributed object systems or they feelcomfortable with
the architecture to be documented and supported beyond thetenure of a set
of consultants that could come in and build such a system. In this case
they buy a pre-defined and built architecture.
I also agree that a Forte Service Object in and of itself can be
problematic. But I depart where you say a manager can dothings like custom
routing. This is exactly why I think Forte can be too difficult for too
many people. Any custom routing scheme is not to be takenlightly in its
impact of the overall performance and makeup of a running system. The
manager pattern does not describe a run-time environment withthe checks and
balances needed to make sure a custom router can perform. I have talked
with you Daniel and have complete faith in your ability todevelop such a
system. I would be very concerned in having just anyone try toimplement
custom routing in manager objects without a run-time environment that
simplifies and protects the participants from the mountain of technical
problems that would follow.

INST-07294 could not retrieve SSO information in OFM11g FRD installation

Hi, Rodolfo!
Thansk for replay!
"The installer needed for the 10g SSO part is available in the same 11g download page" - I think you are wrong.
On the page that you are mentioned there are only schema creation assistant - SSO Metadata Repository Creation Assistant (10.1.4.3.0)
But here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/install.1111/e12003/claqi.htm they say that I need SSO installed:
Install Oracle Single Sign-On 10g (10.1.4.3) on your system in a different Oracle Home location than your Oracle Internet Directory installation.
Why SSO is mandatory and not optional?
So, if I quite right, to get a Portal/Forms/Reports/Discoverer 11g I have to do the following:
1.install db11g
2.install sso mrca
3.run sso mrca with load option
4.run rcu for creating ofm11g schemas
5.install OID11g
6.run sso mrca with register option in OID
7.install Identity Management 10g only with SSO and DAS services from here http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101401.html
8.and only then run pfrd installation
Am I right?
