Script alarms and parameters / arguments

ICal 2 now has the capability to use a acript as an alarm target (although I think this is really just 'GUI Candy' for the existing 'run an application' alarm type).
However there don't seem to be any arguments or parameters passed to the script. I'd like to have a script that 'knows' what event triggered the alarm and can act appropriately. The only examples I have seen have required the script to look back into iCal and try to work out what the event was (based on calendar, date etc).
Does anyone know how to get iCal to pass event information to the alarm script ? How would I raise this as a feature request ?

Don't know how to help you but I think you explained it well, other than maybe add what specific information you want from iCal. Then just send the feedback.
You might also want to check at the Applescript discussion to see if someone there can help you.

How should I understand the parameters/argument values in the {} and [] right after a function?

Hi,
How should I understand the parameters/argument values in the {} and [] right after a function?
For instance the {[Name="control"]}[Content] part in the
control=Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="control"]}[Content]
and also the [Control]{0} part in the periodctrl=control[Control]{0}.
Thanks.
Regards,

The "[]" operator in M is like the "." operator in C-like languages, if that helps. It takes an aggregate value with named components and it selects one of those components. In the case of the record "Foo", "Foo[Bar]"
returns the field named Bar. In the case of the table "Baz", "Baz[Quux]" returns the column named Quux.
Similarly, the "{}" operator in M does subscripting of lists -- like the "[]" operator in C-like languages. If "Foo" is a list, then "Foo{0}" returns the first element of the list, "Foo{1}" returns the second
element of the list, and so on.
In the case of tables, it's also possible to use "{}" with a record argument, in which case it will return the row which matches the record criteria -- provided there is exactly one. So if "Foo" is a table, then "Foo{[Bar = 1]}"
will return the row for which the Bar column has a value of 1.
Many of the data access functions in Power Query return what we call "navigation tables". Sql.Database, for instance, returns a table with columns named Name, Schema, Object, Kind and Data. Each table in the database has a single entry in this
navigation table. When we index into the table with "table{[Schema="dbo", Object="table"]}", we're selecting the single row that matches those criteria. This gives us a record. We then want to pick the "Data" field of
that record, which contains the actual table data. That's why there's typically a "[Data]" at the end of expressions which fetch data from the SQL table.

Directory Binding Script (Active and Open Directory) 10.7

Hi everyone
I'm reposting this in the right thread. I've written a Directory Binding Script for 10.6 and ported it now to 10.7 as among the things that have changed in the upgraded version is a refurbished directory binding enviroment.
The original thread can be found here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3090068. The script is applicable for clients as well and simplifies the binding process considerably.
Be aware that the reformatted script here contains some faulty line breaks. So you'll have to correct them in a proper text editor.

Script error: Three parameters expected etc

I currently use director MX 10.1 and Havok and max 5.1. I am
trying to do the tutorial found here:
http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/3D/Havok/
specifically the one using the "imported Havok" from max 5
found at bottom.
I can do the top inserted havok tut just fine using his w3d
and hke.
I can even load his completed version of the bottom "Imported
Havok" and that works fine.
However when i try to recreate his Imported havok project
everytime i try to play it i get an error:
Script error: Three parameters expected
pHavok.initialize(pSprite.member)
-2147219485
I have compared my working script code lines to his completed
version of the Import havok tutorial and they look the same.
However i still get this error. Any ideas on whats going on?
You could easily see if it works for you and let me know if
it does. It should only take 10 minutes to look and see if its me
or him if you like.
I tryed my own import havok test to and got same error
message when trying to play it.
thanks

Hi,
The above is my tutorial. Is the problem when you create your
own hke file? Since
the creation of the hke part of the tutorial requires a very
old version of max,
it's probably not the reccommended way of doing things. Plus,
Havok has been
replaced by Aegia in Director 11. Anyway, I'd suggest you
look at physics
properties as you defined in Max (steps 7 to 14) to make sure
you've done it
correctly for your file. Then, make sure you have the latest
Havok, which can be
accessed from a link on the page.

A question on methods and parameters.

Hey guys, it's my first time posting here. I'm very new to Java, and did a bit of C++ prior to Java. I had a question on methods and parameters. I don't quite understand methods; I know that they can be repeated when called, but thats almost about it. I also know that a program must have one class that holds the main method. What I truly, truly don't understand about methods is what parameters are. I know they go in the parentheses, and that's it. Could you please explain what they are? I truly appreciate it. Thanks to all in advance. Regards, Michael

Taking an example :
Suppose you are calculating area of rectangle you need two inputs one is length and breadth.Area = l X b where l = length, b = breadth
So your method, say, calculateAreaOfRectangle(int length, int breadth) will have two input parameters as arguments.
System.out.println("Area of rectangle:"+calculateAreaOfRectangle(40,30);
public int calculateAreaOfRectangle(int length, int breadth) {
int Area;
Area = length * breadth;
return Area;
So if you call this method then the output will be returned as 120.
Parameters of a method are just the input variables needed for the method to process for any calculations or anything useful.
And we cant have methods inside main method in Java. It is against the java syntax and if you do, it will throw a syntax error.

PowerShell logon script with function parameters

Hi,
I've made file, something.ps1, that has to functions: Set-Something and Remove-Something. Unless necessary I will not explain what they do (though the names should provide the gist of it).
These functions can be run successfully with the commands.
Set-Something -Path "C:\Path\To\Somtehing"Remove-Something -Path "C:\Path\To\Somtehing"
I'm trying to implement these as logon and logof in GPO. What i set for example in logon is:
Tab: PowerShell
Name: "C:\Scripts\something.ps1"
Parameters: "Set-Something -Path 'C:\Path\To\Something'"
This does not work. Why?
PS: I can get it to work with adding the following to the end of the script, and run it without parameters at login.
Set-Something -Path 'C:\Path\To\Something'
But that isn't what I'm trying to do, because that means I will have to create one script for logon and one for logoff. I wish I want to run the same script, but different functions at logon and logoff.

Hi,
Check the following points,
- Check the availability of your PowerShell scripts in the netlogon share - \\Server\NETLOGON
- Check whether the GPO is linked to the OU containing users, because GPO with logon script need to assigned for scope with users, where as GPO with startup script need to be assigned for scope with computers.
- To confirm whether GPO settings are applied - run gpresult from command prompt.
- To force the GPO settings - run gpupdate /force from command prompt.
- Then logoff and login again to check the status.
Regards,

Run Script alarm doesn't work when iCal closed

I have an applescript to remind me to run a maintenance application once a week. I've set a "Run Script" alarm for a weekly event in iCal... But the script ONLY executes if iCal is open!
If iCal is closed I get the message:
"An AppleScript event alarm did not execute properly. The script "run_maintenance.scrpt" that was assigned to the event "maintenance" did not open or did not finish running."
Then, when I then open iCal, the applescript executes.
How can I get the script to run when iCal is closed, just like a normal alarm?
By the way, the applescript is quite straightforward, with a dialog and finder instruction to activate the maintenance program. It runs fine manually (& as I say, if iCal is already open).
Thanks for any suggestions.

Found the problem: The run_maintenance script couldn't be completed without user action (because of the dialogue), so was giving iCal an error.
Solution: I've set another script that simply launches the run_maintenance script as the alarm.
So there are 4 players in this daisy chain: iCal, a script to launch the reminder script, the reminder script, and Maintenance!
Inelegant, but it works.

Cannot find an overload for "PeopleManager" and the argument count: "1".

Every time getting following error
Cannot find an overload for “PeopleManager” and the argument count: “1”.
at following line

Hi,
Can you provide the complete script in use for a further research? It would make others easier to find out the root cause of this issue.
Here is a working demo which works in my environment, you can take it for a try:

Custom Data Processing Extension and Parameters

Hello,
I have successfully implemented a custom data processing extension. Now I'm trying to add parameters, but the documentation is very weak on this topic. Also all examples of custam data processing extensions I have found so far are working without parameter support. Using a search engine I have found a custom data processing extension's sequence diagram during report execution. The related article also gives some hints about the IDbCommandAnalysis interface.
The GetParameters implementation creates a parameter collection based on the current command text and returns this collection. So far no problem.
My question is how to implement the IDbCommand's CreateParameter method and Parameters property? In CreateParameter I just return a new instance of my IDataParameter implementation, and the Parameters property returns a new parameter collection based on the current command text.
Is this ok so? At least this is the first implementation which seems to work in the data designer. If I share an instance variable for GetParameters and Parameters I will either get all parameters twice or BIDS will crash when pressing the execute button in the dataset designer - depending on my actual implementation.
What I'm still missing is how to get the parameters added automaticall to the dataset's properties parameter register?
thanx in advance and kind regards, Gerald

I think that finally (after some days of trying) I could make it work. The dataset and report parameters are reflecting the command text's parameters now (BTW: to answer my last question - the dataset's properties are updated after pressing the refresh button only). The road to success was not to use the same member variable for the collections returned by IDbCommandAnalysis:GetParameters() and IDbCommand:Parameter and not to fill the latter one with the command text's parameters (see partial source code below).
public sealed class MyCommand : IDbCommand, IDbCommandAnalysis
    private string m_commandText;
    private MyParameterCollection m_parameters = new MyParameterCollection();
    public string CommandText
        get { return this.m_commandText; }
        set { SetCommandText(value); }
    public IDataParameterCollection Parameters
        get { return m_parameters; }
    public IDataParameter CreateParameter()
        return new MyParameter();
    public IDataParameterCollection GetParameters()
        return GetParameterCollection();
    private void SetCommandText(string commandText)
        m_commandText = commandText;
    private MyParameterCollection GetParameterCollection()
        // ... create parameter collection based on m_commandText
Still there are some open questions:
How can I update the report parameter's properties? Now the parameter's data type is always string, but I'd like to assign the right data type. I'd also like to tag the parameters as hidden and supply a non-queried default value. Is this possible? How?
Although I my implementation of IDbCommandAnalysis:GetParameters() returns a collection containing the parameter names and values the "prompt query parameters" dialog (after pressing the query designer's execute button in the toolbar) shows a "<blank>" value for the parameters. What could be the problem?
Thanx in advance and regards,
Gerald

Hi,
You can take the parameters to the select so that you will be able to create conditions over them.
Try to use this SQL instead of your and in the discoverer workbook create the conditions and parameters:

How to restrict changes in Tabs: Defaults and Parameters in tcode: SU3

Good Morning Everybody.
Do you know how to restrict End Users can change data stored in Tabs Defaults and Parameters of tcode: SU3.
I was checking Authorization Objects related this transaction but I did not find a way to fix this issue.
Thanks for your comments.
Mauricio Cardozo.
BASIS Consultant.

I've been looking into this same question. I don't think there's any way to protect individual user parameters, which is what we really wanted to do, but it is possible to protect the Parameters tab as a whole while still granting access to the Address and Defaults tabs (if desired). SU3, which is usually given to all users, gives change access to all three tabs in the User Data, but to make it more fine-grained, as the last person said, take away SU3 and instead grant whatever combination of SU0, SU1, or SU2 makes sense for your organization. SU0 gives access to the Defaults tab, SU1 to the Address tab, and SU2 to the Parameters tab.
So, in your case, you would grant SU1 only, so users can change their name or phone number, etc, but not Defaults or Parameters. They won't even be able to see defaults or parameters if you do this, though.
I hope this helps.
