Setting default version of Perl...

Greetings!
I currently have three versions of Perl installed on my system, the 5.8.1 version that came with mac os x, 5.8.6 that I installed with fink, and 5.8.8 that went into the /usr/local/bin directory.
How do I set perl 5.8.8 to be the default, since my system still considers 5.8.6 to be the default (if I run "perl -v" at the command line, for example.) Shouldn't there be an environment variable somewhere for this?
Thanks for your time.

Most scripts will link to /usr/bin/perl
If you want a specific version of perl to be the default, just change /usr/bin/perl to be a symlink to the version you want:
<pre class=command>sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl-5.8.8/perl /usr/bin/perl</pre>
This will replace /usr/bin/perl with a symlink to the perl in /usr/local/bin/perl-5.8.8/perl (check that path before you use this example - I don't fink).
Alternatively, if you don't need multiple copies of perl, consider updating the standard version in /usr/bin. This can be done via MCPAN if you have the developer tools installed.

Setting default version for iWork files

I installed the trial version of iWork '09 and decided not to purchase it. I deleted these applications, but when I reset the default version of Numbers to Numbers '08 (v.1.0.3) rather than Numbers '09 (v.2.0) using the "Open with:" then "Change all..." feature in Get Info, it opens correctly only once, and I have to reset it every time. I have the same problem with Pages and Keynote. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks for the response, but this has nothing to do with how files were saved. It has to do with setting the default application used to open any word processing or spreadsheet or presentation file.
In the meantime, I've solved my own problem. I discovered a little application called AppDelete, and after I used this application to delete all of the iWork '09 applications, the defaults were re-set to iWork '08 applications.

Can I set the default version of DIAPI?

Setting plan version as default

Dear Expert,
How to setting 'plan version', for example: plan version 1 as default in tcode :
s_alr_87013613 (Plan/Actual comparison)?
What is the effect to others reports then?
Thanks in advance.

The variable that is used in this report is 1VERP. You can changed this via GS12 to enter the whatever plan version to default under the default value. For your information, the report group 1AIP is run when you run the t-code S_ALRr_87013613, which inturn runs the report 1AIP-001 that incorporate the variable 1VERP under the plan data for version selection.
But this may not be the best practise, because you will be changing the SAP standard, which will be overwritten when you upload support packages or do an upgrade. Better you copy this report and use your own version variable, by copying the 1VERP.

Setting defaults for text tool in CC Acrobat Pro

Setting default property value in custom componenty

I'm a Flash newbie trying to build a custom component using
Flash MX 2004. basically it's an enhanced version of the standard
label component. Everything seems to work fine except when trying
to set default text or assigning a text value in the "properties"
window (the field displays in the properties window, but any value
typed into it does not appear during movie playback). Currently,
the text can be seen only in authoring mode, not when the movie
plays. The only way for the text to displayed during playback is to
set it up through code. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? .as
file content follows.
class CustomComponents.FormFields.lblFieldLabel extends
MovieClip {
private var objFieldLabel:MovieClip;
private var strText:String = "";
function lblFieldLabel() {
init();
public function init():Void {
public function get displaytext():String {
return strText;
[Inspectable(defaultValue="display text", type="String")]
public function set displaytext(val:String):Void {
strText = val;
objFieldLabel.text = strText + ":";
}

I have posted a response to your duplicate post here Set a default value in Custom.pll

Automated Composite build/test not work with non-default version

Hello,
I have a BPEL composite and I am trying to setup maven and soapUI to build, deploy, test, and upon successful test, set it as the default version. The difficulty I am having is testing the composite before it becomes the default version. I am able to hit the endpoint using the full URL with the randomly generated ID in it using soapUI (see below), but not by using the shortened URL.
Full URL: http://soabpm-vm:8001/soa-infra/services/default/Project1!0.0.12-SNAPSHOT*soa_13954572-b91f-480d-88d2-037e92083d72/bpelprocess1_client_ep
Shortened URL: http://soabpm-vm:8001/soa-infra/services/default/Project1!0.0.12-SNAPSHOT/bpelprocess1_client_ep
I tried hitting the shortened URL outside of the maven build, just using soapUI, and the response is empty. However, if I then mark this new version as default (through EM), and then mark a previous version as default (let's say 0.0.11), then the shortened URL for 0.0.12 can be successfully hit.
It seems to me then that before the shortened URL above can be used, that specific version must have been set as the default version at some point. This would make an automated maven/soapUI test of new version (but not default) quite difficult, as it would have to somehow retrieve the full URL.
Is this a bug or can it be fixed with a config setting change?
Here are the steps in the process, maven build (using the Oracle provided ant sca files):
1. Compile
2. Package
3. Deploy, not as default
4. Test the new version (using soapUI plugin)
5. If successful tests, mark new version as default
The problem is with step 4, can't determine what the full URL is and the shortened URL does not work.
Thanks
Ben

I found a similar issue in Oracle's support site, Patch 13774839 (based on bug 13569816). I will try that out and post the results here.

How to set default directory for SQL LOADER

hi all,
i wanted to know how can we setup a default directory for SQL LOADER if at all we can. i connot place my control and data files in local system and use them at command prompt. rather i wanted to know if we can set default directory that the loader can use. this requirement is basically to enable all the clients to upload the data placed on the server and use the loader utility.
thanks in advance,
Basavraj

Ella,
You don't say which version of SQL Developer you are using via Citrix, but just setting the SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR hasn't worked for a long time (see Re: SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR does not function anymore). Also, since version 1.5, the default for the user directory (now set via ide.user.dir as shown below) is under the user profile area (relative to %APPDATA%), which you should be able to write to, even on Citrix.
Assuming that neither of those help, you will need to get whoever installed SQL Developer on the Citrix C: drive to modify the sqldeveloper.conf to have a line like, where the path exists for everyone who will be using the shared SQL Developer (assumes everyone has a H: drive):
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=H:\sqldeveloperAn alternative (depending on how you start SQL Developer via Citrix), is to create your own shortcut to start SQL Developer with something like:
sqldeveloper -J-Dide.user.dir="%SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR%"theFurryOne

Setting Default Global Settings for Bex Analyzer 7 for all users

We need to set default settings for Bex Analyzer Global Settings when we install SAP-GUI 7.2 in our user's workstations. The current default settings are that all of them are turned off. We would rather not have to run around and change each of our 1,000 user's settings.

Just so any one is looking for the correct solution and it worked for me.
Small correction to the information in the OSS note 1254112.
for setting the legacy version setting use the below string in the registry
"LAUNCH_VERSION" = "LEGACY" insted of "LaunchLegacyVersion"

OS X (10.5.2) constantly changing set default programs

After upgrading to Leopard from Tiger I am encountering the following problem:
OS X is constantly changing my set default programs to whatever is the default when you install it fresh.
For example:
I have Firefox set as default for webbrowsing, Adium as default for chatting, and VLC as default for video playback.
When I restart OS X, everything is changed back to Safari, iChat, and QuickTime. Also my file associations are changed with every restart.
Repairing Permissions does not help and I have done that at least 10 times now.
Deleting the Applications and reinstalling them does also not help.
Are there any solutions to this? I would prefer not having to reinstall Leopard with all the applications, because I do not have the DVDs for all the software at the moment.
Thanks for any help!
Further info: I did Archive and Install for putting Leopard on this MBP. I have the latest updates installed and the latest versions of the applications, etc.

Setting default alert button at runtime

Setting default alert button at runtime
Sometime I want Button1 to be default and sometimes I want Button2 to be default.
Please tell me how to change the default button at runtime.
Thanks
Claus Hansen [email protected]

Beware of a slight bug in at least some versions. If the user dismisses the alert using the [X] close window control it fires a particular button which is not neccesarilly the default one. I always ensure that I make the default button the one which the control fires.

Identifying Default Version in weblogic server

Hi All,
Can anybody can tell me how to identify the default version of BPEL or Mediator interface deployed into weblogic server in SOA11G if they are deployed twice or thrice into weblogic server.
In 10g we use to identify with a '*' symbol beside the interface name, but how to find out the same thing in Weblogic server.
Regards,
CH

In 11g there is no symbol to see whether it is default version or not. Below are the ways you can check whether it default one ot not.
1)When you click the process in em console example Project 1.0, If you not able to see the set as default tab then it is running with default version.
2) Alternatively you can check the webservice URL in that see the SOAP end point. if it ending with something like Soa*unique. If you find this then it is a default version.
Correct me if i went wrong.
Thanks,
Tarak

Set defaults for contacts

HI,
Can anyone tell me how to set the defaults for the contacts. Right now when I save a number in the contacts it is automatically set as a "work" number. I want it to automatically be a mobile number. This will save a lot of cut and pasting. Thanks.

Generally pleased with my new N96 which replaces my ageing N95 but i have noticed two bugs. I am using a simfree, nokia shop purchased N96 update to SW v11.101.098.1.
BUG 1: I've imported my contacts from my N95 and i cannot set defaults for email addresses or numbers. When the defaults option is selected from the menu in contacts the conacts application immediatley closes and i am returned to the front screen. Defaults for contacts i've created on the N96 can have there defaults set but defaults cannot be set for contacts imported using PC Suite or the phones sync utility. Also, for imported contacts the ringtone is the default nokia tune and not the tone defined in the contact or in my active profile. Again only imported contacts show this glitch with a contact created on the N96 working as expected. The default ringtone issue seems to be a common one on the forum maybe this is a connection.
BUG 2: The phone freezes if you try to resume playback of a video file whilst using a bluetooth headset (in my case a nokia BH-500). With the phone connected to the BH-500 you can play a video file from the start but when promted to continue the latest played file from last position its 'take the battery out time' when the phone locks up.
Any user got any thoughts on these anomolies??
Message Edited by orgazmic on 20-Oct-2008 12:13 AM
Hello, i have the 11.101 version and I imported all my contacts via PC suite and I CAN use the defaults option and the ringtone can be anything I want (apart for video ringtones-they don't work).

InDesign CS3 as a default version on a desktop

Is there a way to set InDesign CS3 to be the default version that will launch when CS2 and CS4 are also installed? We have clients who only work in CS2 and/or CS3, and need to maintain file compatibility with them. We would also like to upgrade to CS4; already purchased, but installation has been put off until we can resolve this issue. Saving CS4 files as .inx for CS3 compatibility is not an option for us, as this is not proven to be 100% error-free. Any suggestions?

Ah, Soxy! Some more news: we decided Soxy for Windows made sense, and we're close to releasing a beta.
Stay tuned and subscribe to www.rorohiko.com using RSS in your browser or e-mail client to make sure you get notified if you're interested (we purposely decided we don't do bulk-email - it's such a blunt sword compared to RSS).
Furthermore, Soxy for Macintosh will come out of beta soon, which will end the special price deal we have going for people who purchase a license during the beta test period.
Soxy is much better than 'Open With...' - it analyzes the double-clicked file, and opens it in the correct version (and you can decide what the correct version is). Simply double-click any InDesign CSx document, and Soxy will decide which of your installed versions is the best match.
So if you have CS3 and CS4 installed, and you double-click a CS2 document, by default, Soxy will open that file with InDesign CS3 (as you don't have CS2 installed) - by default it picks the 'nearest higher' version. Double-click a CS3 doc -> opens in InDesign CS3. Double-click a CS4 doc -> opens in InDesign CS4. And so on - and a similar deal for Illy or PDF files.
Cheers,
Kris
