Sendkeys to PS via .js script

Hello,
I want to call a recorded action thru a custom panel button (the action to call is a plugin-function, which I cant access thru the panel configurator) .So I assigned shortcut-keys for this action and these should be send to PS thru a .js script.
This is my code for testing:
var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.AppActivate("PS");
WScript.Sleep(300);
WshShell.SendKeys("{F1}");
When I run the script with cscript.exe (WINDOWS 8), then the PS Window gets activated, but apparently no "F1" Key is sent, because no new window opens.
Can you help me, please?

it would be, but this does not work in this case.
I cant record the action - which is a plugin-function - whithout its instant execution - that is - i want the action just to open the menu of the plugin, but not its instant excecution - when replaying the action.
Your plan works with some functions, but not in any case.
So I added shortcuts for these and these shortcuts just open the menu of the plugins - so sending keys with a script would probably do it.

Webserver on DMZ cannot send email via php script using SMTP (cisco firewall pix 515e)

Hello,
I have two web servers that are sitting in a DMZ behind a Cisco Firewall PIX 515e. The webservers appear to be configured correctly as our website and FTP website are up. On two of our main website, we have two contact forms that use a simple html for to call a php script that uses smtp as its mailing protocol. Since, I am not the network administrator, I don't quite understand how to read the current configurations on the firewall, but I suspect that port 25 is blocked, which prevents the script from actually working or sending out emails. What I've done to narrow the problem done is the following: I used a wamp server to test our scripts with our smtp servers settings, was able to successfully send an email out to both my gmail and work place accounts. Currently, we have backupexec loaded on both of these servers, and when I try to send out an alert I never receive it. I think because port 25 is closed on both of those servers. I will be posting our configuration. if anyone can take a look and perhaps explain to me how I can change our webservers to communicate and successfully deliver mail via that script, I would gladly appreciate it. our IP range is 172.x.x.x, but it looks like our webservers are using 192.x.x.x with NAT in place. Please someone help.
Thanks,
Jeff Mateo

Amit,
I applaud your creativity in seeking to solve your problem, however, this sounds like a real mess in the making. There are two things I don't like about your approach. One, cron -> calling Java -> calling PHP -> accessing database, it's just too many layers, in my opinion, where things can go wrong. Two it seems to me that you are exposing data one your website (with the PHP) that you may not want expose and this is an important consideration when you are dealing with emails and privacy and so on.
I think the path of least resistance would be to get a new user account added to the MySQL database that you can access remotely with your Java program. This account can be locked down for read only access and be locked down to the specific IP or IP range that your Java program will be connecting from.
Again I applaud your creativity but truly this seems like a hack because of the complexity and security concerns you are introducing and I think is a path to the land of trouble. Hopefully you will be able to get a remote account set up.

Automatic graphic switch via Apple Script

hi community,
I would like to change the "Automatic graphics switching" (tick on / tick off) via an Apple Script. I made the following script and it works, except with line "click chckbox 2". Here it ticks the box "Show battery status in menu bar". With "click checkbox 1" it takes the "Lock-Button".
I would be glad if anybode could tell me the right code for ticking the checkbox "automatic graphics switching" via Apple Script.
Thanks a lot
PS: Yes I know that tool gfx Status, but I wanna do this via Apple Script.
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
          set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.energysaver"
          delay 0.5
          tell application "System Events"
                    tell process "Systemeinstellungen"
                              tell window "Energie sparen"
click checkbox 2
                                        delay 0.5
                              end tell
                    end tell
          end tell
quit
end tell
quit

Hello
You may try this. It works with MacBook Pro 2010 under 10.6.5.
tell application "System Preferences"
    set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.energysaver"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "System Preferences"
        tell window 1
            tell group 1 -- automatic graphics switching
                tell checkbox 1 -- automatic graphics switching
                    click
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
end tell
And the script below will set the option to the specified value.
set_automatic_graphics_switching(0)
on set_automatic_graphics_switching(i)
        integer i : status of automatic graphics switching
            0 : off (unchecked)
            1 : on    (checked)
    if i is not in {0, 1} then error "Invalid argument: " & i number 8000
    tell application "System Preferences"
        set _was_running to running
        set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.energysaver"
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "System Preferences"
            tell window 1
                tell group 1 -- automatic graphics switching
                    tell checkbox 1 -- automatic graphics switching
                        if value ≠ i then click
                    end tell
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
    if not _was_running then
        tell application "System Preferences" to quit
    end if
end set_automatic_graphics_switching
Hope this may help,

Access System Resources using Java Applet via Java Script

Hello
I can access my Applet public methods (and this methods access system resources) via Java Script if I do the following: System.setSecurityManager(null);However, I'm making this post because I don't like this solution.
Supposedly, setting the SM to null is like making the Applet (which is signed and was accepted by the user via a prompt from the browser) behave like a normal Java program that has no restrictions. (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/environment/security.html, second paragraph)
However, this feels like a workaround of something that is supposed to be there (the SM).
Also, if I make the methods invocation from inside the applet (using swing buttons and textboxes for example) I can use the standard SM without no problems.
From my readings, the problem regarding Java Script invocation, comes from the fact that the Java Script is not a secure (not signed) source (because you can invoke public methods the way you wish from it i guess) on the contrary to the applet methods invoked by the buttons.
Possible solutions I found in the web range from using the public static Object doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction action) method or imaginative things like creating new threads on the public method that call the private methods that access the system resources (supposedly because the new thread runs under the safe environment of the applet)
I almost got a glimpse of hope with this post http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5325271&tstart=0
However, none of these solutions worked, the only results were with the setResourceManager(null)So, any one can contribute with a solution for this? Should I keep trying to find a solution other then the one I already have?

1. yes
2. yes
Note for 2. the converter will run the applet with SUN jre for sure if the user has IE.
IE will use the ActiveX technology to run the applet (as with Macromedia Flash).
For Netscape I am not sure, but I would think Netsape will use the plug in provided by
SUN.
Note for SUN jre 1.3. If this applet is to be used within a company that uses a proxy with
ntlm authentication the 1.3 applet cannot connect (to the Internet) through this proxy since
ntlm athentication is supported since j2re1.4.2_03. There is one version before that but
that one will pop up a window asking for the user's domain account and password wich
is both lame and crappy.
As for the IE settings, IE has a default setting that askes users the "do you trust"
queston for AciveX controls within the Internet securety zone (tools -> internet options
-> security).
Sincy anybody can make ActiveX controls (allso sign them) a user that has a problem
to find the "no" button will sooner or later install a malicuous ActiveX control (spy ware
or a virus).
If this user's desktop is within your company's network it will cause serious harm.
This is why most company's disable this by changing the default internet expolorer
settings. Since I assume you are writhing this applet to be used by a company I allso
assumed that company has someone to maintain the desktops. In that case I
assume that person would want to control the security within the SUN jre instead of
letting the user deside what to trust and what not.

Creating APEX pages via SQL scripts..

Hi Guys,
I want to create APEX pages via SQL Script. The main reason to have this option that I have couple of applications which has XML files for screen definition where I can read all screen properties (field types, sizes, caption, etc...)
Is there any documentation or help stuff where I can find the APEX page definition tables? I found something like WWV tables but I couldnt figure it out properly...
Any help ?
Thanks,
Osman...

We have built our entire apex app in a similar way. We create the shell apex pages using apex (eg, Item Detail, Insert Item, etc.). Then we create a PL/SQL region on the page. The PL/SQL region simply calls a stored procedure to render the controls on the page. For example, our regions looks similar to this:
begin
apex_pkg.sp_render_page('ITEM_DETAIL',Param1,Param2,Param3);
end;
The sp_render_page procedure in the database generates the appropriate HTML for the page. This procedure reads meta data in the database (eg, field label, field size, field type, field position, etc.) and renders the same HTML that apex would render if the apex page was manually created. For example, in the procedure we use lines similar to these:
HTP.p(apex_item.text(...))
HTP.p(apex_item.select_list_from_query(...))
Because the procedure is reading meta data, the apex page is dynamic and can be different for different users or clients.

Load an Advanced Print Setting in Acrobat via Java-Script

Hi there,
I'd like to know, if there's a way to load an advanced print setting in the Acrobat via Java Script or some other way? (See Screenshot)
Or is it possible to set an created setting as default-setting? (also via Java or something)
Or can somebody tell me, where these created print settings are saved? (in Acrobat X)
Thank you very much for your help and sorry for my english, I hope you understand me. :-)
Kind regards
Mankro

Why wouldn't you want to set itas part of an input/output parameter?
This is really the right way ofdoing this. Otherwise you'll end up with hardcoded variable name in your customcomponent and that not ideal.
If you're trying to define a default value for it coming from a properties file, you can just make it a "Configuration" variable and set the value from adminui.

How to install roles and features via a script linked to an OU, to automate server builds

Hi all
I like to automate the installation of roles and features applied to servers via GPO script.
For my bare metal 2008 R2 installations, a simple .cmd script with something similar to below...
ServerManagerCmd.exe -install NET-Framework-Core Hyper-V Desktop-Experience SNMP-Service -restart
...added to the RunOnce registry key via GPO would deliver Roles and Features reliably.
This method does not work for me in 2012 R2. I've spent a day searching the internet. I cannot find a guide. I assume I need to use Powershell now. I am uncertain if signing scripts is a requirement for this to work for me? Please
could you let me know a method to automate the installation of Roles and Features to 2012 R2 via scripts delivered to bare metal servers via GPO.

I think you would do better by posting in the Windows 2012 forum. The issue is more likely that the exact name of the service or package has changed.
There are new tools in 2012 to install features and roles. I do not think they can be run from a GPO.
Here are the instructions:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831809.aspx
They show you explicitly how to discover the available Features and Roles on 2012 and how to use PowerSHell to install them.

Starting applications from a keynote via Apple Script?

Is there any way to start an application from a keynote via Apple Script?

Welcome to the forums!
Keynote does not support the use of AppleScript in that fashion.

Create Oracle OCI JDBCConnectionPool via silent script

Hi there,
I'm currently trying to create a JDBCConnectionPool via silent script that uses the Oracle OCI thick driver. My silent script looks like this:
create JDBCConnectionPool "MyPool" as jdbcpool;
set jdbcpool.DbmsHost "myhost";
set jdbcpool.DbmsPort "1521";
set jdbcpool.Password "user";
set jdbcpool.URL "jdbc:oracle:oci:@//myhost:1521/mysid";
set jdbcpool.DriverName "oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource";
set jdbcpool.Properties "user=user;portNumber=1521;SID=mysid;serverName=myhost;dll=ocijdbc9;protocol=oci";
The log of the silent script says everything was set successfully. Unfortunately when I take a look at the "Connection Pools" at the GUI admin console, the URL for the jdbcpool has been changed to "jdbc:bea:oracle:///myhost:1521" !
I'm using WebLogic 8.1SP3 with Oracle 9.2.0.5!
Can anyone help me with this? Any hint/help is appreciated!
- raze

Hi Joe,
I've done a demo script that produces the described "error". Would be great if you (or anybody else) could check if the same behaviour occurs.
[... start script ...]
read template from "/opt/bea/8.1.SP3/user_home/common/templates/domains/wls.jar";
create Cluster "MyCluster" as c1;
set c1.ClusterAddress "127.0.0.1:59251";
set c1.MulticastAddress "237.0.0.1";
set c1.MulticastPort "59251";
find Server "myserver" as s1;
set s1.Name "AdminServer";
set s1.ListenAddress "";
set s1.ListenPort "59261";
set s1.HostnameVerificationIgnored "true";
set s1.SSL.Enabled "true";
set s1.SSL.ListenPort "59262";
create Server "ManagedServer" as n1;
set n1.ListenAddress "";
set n1.ListenPort "59251";
set n1.Cluster "MyCluster";
set n1.HostnameVerificationIgnored "true";
set n1.Machine "MyMachine";
set n1.SSL.Enabled "false";
create UnixMachine "MyMachine" as machine1;
set machine1.NodeManager.ListenPort "59255";
set machine1.NodeManager.Name "MyMachine";
create JDBCConnectionPool "MyPool" as jdbcpool;
set jdbcpool.DbmsName "user";
set jdbcpool.Password "user";
set jdbcpool.Properties "user=user;portNumber=1521;SID=db-sid;serverName=db-host;dll=ocijdbc9;protocol=oci";
set jdbcpool.URL "jdbc:oracle:oci:@//db-host:1521/db-sid";
set jdbcpool.DriverName "oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource";
assign JDBCConnectionPool "*" to target "MyCluster";
find User "weblogic" as u1;
set u1.password "weblogic";
set OverwriteDomain "true";
write domain to "/home/user/BeaDomain";
close template;
[... end script ...]
Setting the URL succeeds as the log says:
[runScript] com.bea.plateng.domain.script.ScriptExecutor - set jdbcpool attribute URL to "jdbc:oracle:oci:@//db-host:1521/db-sid"
[runScript] com.bea.plateng.domain.script.ScriptExecutor - succeed: set jdbcpool attribute URL to "jdbc:oracle:oci:@//db-host:1521/db-sid"
But nevertheless the "config.xml" of the created domain contains the following entry:
<JDBCConnectionPool Name="MyPool" Targets="MyCluster"
DriverName="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"
Password="{3DES}Zlf46kqr6QE=" Properties="" URL="jdbc:bea:oracle:///db-host:1521"/>
Thus I assume when writing the domain, the URL gets changed for some reason. I also tried to increase the log level by executing the script with the options "-log_priority=debug -silent_priority=debug", but that did not help to find out why the URL got changed.
Is there maybe someone already using the Oracle OCI thick driver successfully and could post/email me the used silent script?
Greetings,

Activate a session via Gui scripting

Hi,
how to activate an active SAP-session via Gui Scripting or maybe a workaround?
There are some SAP sessions running and I want to activate a certain one of them.
I tried to activate a session with:
AppActivate session.findById("wnd[0]").Text
but, as we know, if there are the same task names in Task Manager, the function will start any one of them.
Any idea?

                                    AppActivate "Microsoft Excel"
                                    A = MsgBox(sgSystem & " - " & sgClient & " NOT selectable", vbOKOnly + vbCritical + vbDefaultButton1, "SAP Automation")

                suSysName = ""
            Next
As you can see, I got at that point all the necessary session and connection data.
There are several SAP-Tasks open and what I want is to get a specific one as active window on my screen. That doesn't work if the sessions have the same Task-name, for instance "SAP Easy Access". Because Windos is not albe to find the right SAP-task - they have the same name - and it takes usally the wrong one of them. Thats my problem.
Many Thanks for your Help

Moving a Layer based on percentages via action scripting.

Hi,
I am trying to create an action script that will move a layer 90% to the left or right. Can this be done thru actions or is it something that can only be done via JS Scripting. The reason I need percentages is not all images are the same dimensions.
TIA

You should be able to do it with either.
With an action set you ruler to percent, select all on the layer you want to move and with the move tool move the image. The amount of the move will be recorded in percent.
With a script use activeDocument.activeLayer.translate( new UnitValue(.9,'%'),undefined) to move to the right or activeDocument.activeLayer.translate( new UnitValue(-.9,'%'),undefined)to move to the left

Launchd won't send email via shell script

I'm trying to send an email via shell script. e.g. my shell script is something like this:
#!/bin/sh
echo testing | mail -s 'this is a test' [email protected]
My launchdaemon runs the script: /usr/local/scripts/testscript.sh
I know the script is working, because I added some debugging (I added a line: echo is this working and sure enough, "is this working" is showing up in the console) but the email part kicks off an error message about 30 seconds later: Stray process with PGID equal to this dead job: PID ### PPID 1 sendmail
The script works when I run it with a cron job. But why wouldn't it work as a launchd item? And why is it I'm only having problems with the email segment of my scripts? I've tried other scripts and they all seem to work fine.

There are no errors reported. I'm looking in /var/log/mail.log.

Clicking a htmlb:button via Java Script

Hi all!
I would like to 'click' a htmlb:button via Java Script.
Example with a html-button:
<htmlb:button id="b1" onClientClick="javascript:document.form_id['b2'].click()" text="Call Button 2"/>
<input id="b2" type="button" onclick="alert('2')">
Does anybody have an idea how it works with a htmlb:button?
Thanks!
Stefan
Message was edited by: Stefan Kittsteiner

Hi Stefan,
Use this
<script>
function submit()
return htmlbSL(this,2,'b2:b2Click');
</script>
<htmlb:button id="b1" onClientClick="javascript:submit()" text="Call Button 2" />
<htmlb:button id="b2" onClientClick="alert('I am clicked')" text="Button 2" />
b2Click is server event for button 'b2'.
You can also use <bsp:htmlbEvent> for more details see weblog <a href="/people/brian.mckellar/blog/2004/07/18/bsp-in-depth-using-the-htmlb-event-system In-Depth: Using the HTMLB Event System</a>

Set top and bottom inset spacing values in Text Frame Options via jsx script

I am looking for a way to set the top and bottom inset spacing values only to 2 points in Text Frame Options via a .jsx scrpt.
For years, I have used a script that sets Preferences, such as:
with(app.storyPreferences){
    opticalMarginAlignment = false;
    opticalMarginSize = 12;                // pts
I would like to add the code to this same script that would make Top = 0p2 and Bottom 0p2 but leave Left and Right as 0p0.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the full .jsx file that we now use to set preferences.
Ideally, this could be modified to include setting any text frame created to have 0p2 inset Top and Bottom, but 0p0 Left and Right:
