Safe way to rename a design

I noticed that a DESIGN.dmd is alwasy coupled with a DESIGN\ folder.
In the case I'm asked to to rename the file, shoud I rename the folder and fix paths somewhere, too?

we always recommend to use "save as" functionality of Data Modeler

  • SSRS - Is there a multi thread safe way of displaying information from a DataSet in a Report Header?

     In order to dynamically display data in the Report Header based in the current record of the Dataset, we started using Shared Variables, we initially used ReportItems!SomeTextbox.Value, but we noticed that when SomeTextbox was not rendered in the body
    (usually because a comment section grow to occupy most of the page if not more than one page), then the ReportItem printed a blank/null value.
    So, a method was defined in the Code section of the report that would set the value to the shared variable:
    public shared Params as String
    public shared Function SetValues(Param as String ) as String
    Params = Param
    Return Params 
    End Function
    Which would be called in the detail section of the tablix, then in the header a textbox would hold the following expression:
    =Code.Params
    This worked beautifully since, it now didn't mattered that the body section didn't had the SetValues call, the variable persited and the Header displayed the correct value. Our problem now is that when the report is being called in different threads with
    different data, the variable being shared/static gets modified by all the reports being run at the same time. 
    So far I've tried several things:
    - The variables need to be shared, otherwise the value set in the Body can't be seen by the header.
    - Using Hashtables behaves exactly like the ReportItem option.
    - Using a C# DLL with non static variables to take care of this, didn't work because apparently when the DLL is being called by the Body generates a different instance of the DLL than when it's called from the header.
    So is there a way to deal with this issue in a multi thread safe way?
    Thanks in advance!
     

    Hi Angel,
    Per my understanding that you want to dynamic display the group data in the report header, you have set page break based on the group, so when click to the next page, the report hearder will change according to the value in the group, when you are using
    the shared variables you got the multiple thread safe problem, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, according to the multiple safe problem the better way is to use the harshtable behaves in the custom code,  you have mentioned that you have tryied touse the harshtable but finally got
    the same result as using the ReportItem!TextBox.Value, the problem can be cuased by the logic of the code that not works fine.
    Please reference to the custom code below which works fine and can get all the expect value display on every page:
    Shared ht As System.Collections.Hashtable = New System.Collections.Hashtable
    Public Function SetGroupHeader( ByVal group As Object _
    ,ByRef groupName As String _
    ,ByRef userID As String) As String
    Dim key As String = groupName & userID
    If Not group Is Nothing Then
    Dim g As String = CType(group, String)
    If Not (ht.ContainsKey(key)) Then
    ' must be the first pass so set the current group to group
    ht.Add(key, g)
    Else
    If Not (ht(key).Equals(g)) Then
    ht(key) = g
    End If
    End If
    End If
    Return ht(key)
    End Function
    Using this exprssion in the textbox of the reportheader:
    =Code.SetGroupHeader(ReportItems!Language.Value,"GroupName", User!UserID)

  • Is there a way to rename multiple Itunes songs at the same time

    Is there a fast way to rename multiple Itunes songs at once, instead of renaming one song inside Itunes at a time? For example; So I can select multiple songs at once and rename each songs Genre all at the same time? Without needing to rename song by song?
    Casey Computer

    You can click on multiple songs, and change info in the Get Info > Info screen.  This applies to most fields EXCEPT Name.  iTunes has never allowed the simultaneous change of Name of multiple songs, presumably on the grounds that it is usually an error to do so.
    Regarding Genre, yes, this can be changed for multiple songs at once, using the Info tab of Get Info.

  • Is this a "safe" way to upgrade to lion and transfer apps/data to new imac?

    I have an older imac running 10.6.8 and I am considering buying a new one.
    I read a link with guidleines to upgrade to lion. My question is:
    After upgrading to lion, I am going to buy a new imac and want to move to the new imac with the least inconvenience. I have a lot of music app/usb interfaces so the time to reconfigure everything would be very time consuming.
    So is the "safe" way to do it?
    Do a time machine backup of current configuration.
    Follow the link I saw outlining upgrading from 10.6.8 to lion on my current imac.
    Get everything working again on the current imac with mountain lion.
    Do a time machine backup of the lion configuration.
    Get the new imac and on first boot, elect to restore from the time machine backup wiping out what came installed on the new imac.
    Another time machine backup on the new imac.
    I should be done?
    or is there a better /safer way?
    I have been putting this off for almost year because of the number of apps I am running and devices I have connected. a short list.
    file servers off firewire 800 and 400 ( I know I will need the thunderbolt to firewire adapters).
    approx 12-18 usb devices all connected either directly or daisy chained through usb controllers connected to usb controllers.
    about 10 external USB drives.
    vmware
    midi interfaces for piano/guitar.
    m-audio fast track ultra
    multiple DVD/blu-ray reader/writers
    Hence my concern for a smooth transition
    thanks in advance.

    There is really no need to update the older iMac running 10.6 to Lion, especially if you have multiple backups of your User Data. You can easliy move or migrate data from any one of your External HDs or Server to the new iMac.
    As for your current iMac:
    If you plan on selling the older iMac, Lion is not transferable and you will want to sell it with a clean install of 10.6 and let the new owner upgrade.
    If you plan on keeping the older iMac around for others to use and it supports Mountain Lion, then in my humble opinion Mountain Lion is the better upgrade.
    As for your other devices:
    • Yes, Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter
    • Yes, external USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices are backwards compatible
    • Sorry, I don't use vmware
    • Sorry, I don't use midi interfaces
    • Sorry, I don't use m-audio
    • Yes, my external DVD drives work with various Mac's running 10.6 thru 10.8
    Sorry I can't better answer your Audio questions. If no one else comes along with the answers here, then you might try starting another ASC question focused on those transitions.

  • Is there a way to rename all photos in a folder?

    Is there a fast way to rename all the photos in one folder e.g. I have diffreent folders say "wedding" and "birthday" with alot of photos in each. Is there a way to rename all photos in the folder to the same name like all called wedding?
    Also when i open photos they automatically open with preview, do I need to impost them into iPhoto or should they just automatically save there?
    Tracy

    Tracy
    Are these photos in iPhoto? If so, then use the Photos -> Batch Change command.
    IF not then you can use a batch file renamer such as Name Mangler
    iPhoto is a database and can only show pics that have been imported to the DB.
    Regards

  • I am struggling! Help! I need to move 3500 pics-in TIFF format in 175 folders and sub folders from my old PSE6, Windows XP to my new PSE13, Windows8.1. I have the PSE6 backed up on an external hard drive. What is the safe way to do this? Can anyone at Ado

    Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

  • 10g Preview: No way to rename view link usages in AM

    10g Preview (9.0.5.0.0 Build 1375), Win2k SP3.
    I generated the entity objects, view objects, associations, and view links from my DB structure. I created an application module with the default data model from the view objects and view links.
    I then renamed all of the view links using the Rename View Link dialog. The AM's xml file was correctly updated with the new names of the underlying view links, but the view link usages retained the old names.
    There does not appear to be a convenient way of renaming the view link usages in the AM. The workarounds are either to deconstruct the data model and then reconstruct it, or to manually edit the .java and .xml files.
    I would like to see, at minimum, the ability to rename the AM's usages via a right-click menu in the Structure pane. This would affect both view object and view link usages. Currently the only option available in the right-click menu is to edit the underlying business object, not the usage. It also would make sense to allow view link usages to be renamed from the Data Model page of the AM wizard.

    That worked beautifully. I didn't have the property inspector open originally, so it's nice to know there is a way to rename usages after all.
    I wonder if there's a usability issue here though... maybe it's just me, but with the ability to rename some things via the right-click menu in the navigator pane, it seemed natural to look in the very similar structure pane for the same sort of functionality. Now there's a third place to look. Perhaps if the right-click menu in the structure pane simply had a "Properties..." entry or something similar that brought focus to the Property Inspector, it would help the user understand that there's another place to try to make the desired changes.

  • Can I install arche in "safe" way from other worki

    Can I install arche in "safe" way from other working distro?
    Like Debootstrap for example.
    I don't like regular install that I don't have control of the installation procees and It work as root alone so It's need very careful in the partition level.
    It is possible?

    Solved:
    I install pacman and libdownload and now I can install with normal pacman

  • Renaming a "Design"

    When I create a new design, I do not get the option to provide a name, they are just labeled "Untitled_1", "Untitled_2" and so on. I tried to use "save as", and just get a drop down list with a choice of the existing names. What do I need to do to give these designs a meaningful business name?
    Thanks,
    Dawn

    Funny. My initial questions upon installing this tool were: where do I change the language and how do I rename the design. After that why double clicking a closed relational model doesn't open it (implementing "Show" on RMB is really an awkward idea).
    As I see this happening a lot I wonder if anyone was making some usability tests on this tool?

  • Is there a way to rename a share in Leopard?

    Before Leopard is was possible to use the utility Sharepoints to rename a share without changing the name of the folder that was being shared. I have not yet found a way to rename a share using the Sharing preference in Leopard.
    Any know of a way to rename shares in Leopard?
    Thanks

    I'm not aware of any GUI tool that does this in Leopard. you can change the names of the share points by hand by editing the appropriate plists located in /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/config/SharePoints/ but that's a pretty horrible way to do it and is the opposite of user friendly. don't know any other way though.

  • Is down loading projects to DVD's a safe way to edit and save?

    Yesterday I posted "Is down loading projects to DVD's a safe way to edit and save?". It got deleted. Being a newbe I got it in the wrong forum. I got it in "Post New Thread in Forum Comments". I was asked what path I used; I opened the home page. I ticked Discussions / Start New Discussion. I was so baited by the lure to post, I did not see the small "Adobe Forums" at the top and bottom of the page. I also did not understand the large "Post New Tread in Forum Comments". It was a bit confusing to me. But thanks to you guys I see the light.
    I read the discussion I started in "Why do we keep moving Post?". I was branded as a lost soul. I want to thank all of you for helping find my way. No one was rude or even harsh. I have been on other Forums and if you make a mistake you get blasted.
    I also want to thank you for all the answers I got for my original post. I read up on SATA and I can see that is where I need to make some changes to my portioned HD. I am sure I will be leaning on you for a lot of help for such a "Lost soul". And that I am. I am your typical 61 year old who got started late on computers.
    The fact that my HD is portioned is not a good thing I learned. I am not sure if my computer has the Power Supply or the Mother Board to convert to SATA. My question is: Will eSATA work in place of the internal SATA?
    Will I need two; one for editing and one for storage.
    I have an outboard I Omega with about 650GB, I think. Not sure if it is SATA, but it has worked well for my backup videos and general files.
    Thanks Again and I hope I got it right this time.
    I'm timid about ticking the "Post Message" , but here goes......Ohhhhhhhhh.....

    The system process in control panel MAY give you some of that information
    It should ALL be available with the information the system builder gave you... he DID give you the paperwork that came with the individual components?
    Taking the side panel off the case and looking inside with a flashlight might also help... but, of course, you'll need to know what it is you are seeing, and it sounds like you don't know much about hardware, so that may not help much
    Sadly, if the person who built this "video editing" computer didn't really understand video editing, you are left with a computer that won't do what you want, and no easy way to make it work
    You may need to find a computer shop to do this for you... and make sure part of their price is giving you a written list of everything you HAVE and everything they DO in the way of additions or configuration changes

  • Safe way to cancel queries in dbxml shell utility?

    Is there a (safe) way of cancelling a query you're running in the dbxml shell? Because I'm using a throwaway test container I've gone and used Ctrl-C a couple of times but it exits the shell completely so may be leaving the open container in a mess.
    If I had a working container properly set up with transaction support, locking, logging etc. and I wanted to test new XQueries from the shell afterwards, how would I interrupt queries which were slow, contained typos seen to late, etc.?
    There's an "abort" command but I don't think that's what I'm looking for as I'm not trying to stop transactions.
    Tim

    Tim,
    I assume you are adding some documents, then querying, and when that takes a long time, hitting ^C. In the 2.2.13 dbxml shell, the best way to ensure that your container is consistently on disk is to create the container, add documents, and then exit the shell.
    After that, you can restart the shell, open the container, and query/^C away and the container will still be intact. The reason is that exiting the shell closes the environment, which flushes the cache to the disk.
    As John mentioned, the upcoming 2.3 release has better ^C support in the shell. It also has a "sync" subcommand that flushes the cache to disk.
    Regards,
    George
