Scripts from CR

Post Author: JanetC
CA Forum: Formula
Does anyone know if it is possible to run a script (eg a batch file or a perl script) from within a crystal report?
We use CR from within ClearQuest (achange managment tool from IBM Rational) so we are limited to CR 10 at the moment.

We use ClearQuest and from within it use Crystal reports version 10 as teh report facility (its an Oracel DB backend).We need to know if it is possible to start a Perl Script and maybe store the Perl executable within a Crystal Reports report.This is necessary as due to some silly local restrictions (in some countries) some of the data has to be encrypted so that a manager cannot actually see how long a task has taken to be completed. We use our system on a worldwide basis so are all restricted to the same front end hiding of data. We want the Perl scripts to be used to unencrypt the data so we can provide averages and summary information to the managers that can be used to provide better estimations in future - after how do we get better at estimating the time and effort required to do tasks if we cannot use past data?

How do I add multiple scripts from search engines to my meta tag properties?

I currently have copied the goolge script for website varification and analytics, etc and pasted it into my meta tag properties dialog box. There is no problem as far as Google varifying the page. However, I would like to copy Bing's search engine script into my meta tag in addition to Googles script. How do I go about doing this? Do I hit the return on my keyboard under the ending of Googles script, then paste in the Bing script?
The the last part of the Google script ending in this:
</script>
(paste new script from Bing here?)
Will this cancel out each other and cause problems?
Can someone walk me through this process, because Bing's search engine will not varify my site through two of the three other methods.
Ben

Adding a script after the closure of previous script is the way to go i.e. right after the </script> tag.
So it should look something like below:
<script>
Google's script
</script>
<script>
Bing's script
</script>
Cannot comment on one interfering with the other since it really depends on what exact code is there in the scripts. Google and Bing help resources will be able to help more with this.
Thanks,

Hi,
Read this thread, perhaps is there your response :

An error The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered after launching a ps1 script from cmd file.

I'm trying to load sharepoint script from *.cmd file.
I have Sharepoint 2010 installed on Windows 7 x64 and SQL server 2008r2.
My cmd file is:
Powershell -v 2 -NonInteractive -NoLogo -File 1.ps1
My sharepoint file 1.ps1 is:
$snapin="Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"
if ($action -eq $null -or $action -eq '')
{<br />
# Action by default is complete uninstallation.
$action='uninstall'
$uninstall = $true
else
$action = $action.ToLower()
switch($action)
{ $_ -eq "uninstall" } { $uninstall = $true; break }
{ $_ -eq "removesolution" } { $removeSolution = $true; break }
{ $_ -eq "deactivatecorpus" } { $deactivateCorpus = $true; break }
{ $_ -eq "deactivatesupport" } { $deactivateSupport = $true; break }
default { Write-Host -f Red "Error: Invalid action: $action "; Exit -1 }
Check the Sharepoint snapin availability.
if (Get-PSSnapin $snapin -ea "silentlycontinue")
Write-Host "PS snapin $snapin is loaded."
elseif (Get-PSSnapin $snapin -registered -ea "silentlycontinue")
Write-Host "PS snapin $snapin is registered."

$templates= $site.GetWebTemplates($loc)
foreach ($child in $templates){ write-host $child.Name " " $child.Title}<br />
$site.Dispose()
The script works fine from the Sharepoint 2010 management shell after launching the shell from the start menu (or from windows cmd by entering powershell -v 2):
PS C:\2> .\1.ps1

Please help me. I don't understand why the script is launched from the sharepoint management shell but doesn't work from the cmd file.

I have an answer for my problem: for solving a problem I've made several steps:
1. Run farm installation under AD admin credentials - runas /user:Domain1\DomainAdmin1 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN\psconfigui.exe".
This user has been added as farm administrator in the wizard.
This user has been added as DBO in the SQL Server. (This is the main difference with my previous attempts)
2. Execute a command Add-SPShellAdmin Domain1\UserAccount1 in
the Management Shell of Sharepoint.
3. Run SQL server and add Sharepoint_Shell_Access to the Domain1\UserAccount1
(my main account) in the Config database
4. Run CMD file only from Start->Run menu.
runas /user:Domain1\UserAccount1 "C:\1.cmd".
Do not use Total Commander command prompt or file list for executing *.cmd of *.bat files without root administrator account.
Thanks all for help.

How to prevent a text in script from displaying if its value is zero

Dear all,
How to prevent a text in script from displaying if its value is zero
for eg   Price = 0.00
if price is 0 it should'nt appear in output.
I tried with    if price ne 0.
                   price = &price&
                    endif.
but it's not working.

Hello Nagaraju,
                       What you were doing is partially right.
The correct format to write in the script is as follows :
/: if &PRICE& ne 0.
&PRICE&
/: endif.
This should work. Let me know how it goes.

Can you open a file in PS & run a script from LR?

So one of my commercial clients wants their product files in a variety of formats, including PNG with transparency. I'd love to be able to provide them with this from LR, but you can't export as a PNG. So I've written a script which takes the active document in PS, turns off the relevant layers, converts to sRGB, and saves as a PNG. Is there any way for me to invoke this script from LR, as I am opening the document? Ideally, I'd like to include it in the "Edit in" menu, as a menu item which would invoke PS and run the script. That way I could simply select the images, and get them processing while I do something else. Or do I have to open all the files and then run the script on all the open files?

99jon (à Johannes de Vilder) il y a 2 mois
Images are automatically saved back to the LR library but you need to follow a logical sequence for LR to render the export copy. You need to start the round trip from LR as follows and use the save command (Ctrl+S) not save as:
1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings (I choose PSD but tiff is also available in the prefs)
2) Edit in Photoshop; then Ctrl+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
3) Ctrl+W to close in Photoshop and update Lightroom thumbnail. The saved copy is usually stacked next to the original so don't worry about XMP.
On Mac OSX Cmd+E; Cmd+S; Cmd+W

If you have LabVIEW, you could use LabVIEW steps to call your Phyton Scipts.
Another solution would be, to do, what is decriibed in the thread directly in TestStand:
You can call a dll or .NET assemblies directly from teststand, or use the "Call Executable" TestStep.

How to load SQL scripts from a text file.

Hi, i tried several time to load a text file/SQL script with 10 different tables and data, but 10g Express doesen't allows me to do that, any one can direct me or point out to me what i should do or do i need to adopt any special method to to get this done. i am sure there must be some thing where you can upload SQL scripts from a text file (in SQL command editor!). thanks

Hi,
see my other answer here:
SQL command editor doesn't take more than 1 insert command
This seems to be a duplicate question, right? Or am I missing something?
Regards,
~Dietmar.
