Spry js for dynamically naming file based on day names..but wait theres more!

Hi,
I'm creating a program guide for a tv station based on xmls, so I'm wanting to creating a data set that calls a file name "sunday.xml" on a Sunday
and feed that into the var section in the header that calls the file for that data set-see the red bit.
example:
var dailypg = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("xml/sunday.xml" , "EPG/Service/Event");
I hope that made sense.
The problem is that I don't know how to write js-well i wrote a script that spits out the right name, the "var filename = etc... bit,
example:
var day = new Date()
var weekday=new Array(7);
weekday[0]="sunday";
weekday[1]="monday";
weekday[2]="tuesday";
weekday[3]="wednesday";
weekday[4]="thursday";
weekday[5]="friday";
weekday[6]="saturday";
var filename = (weekday[day.getDay()]);
but I don't know how to feed the var "filename" into where it sets the file name for the xml. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

I am doing something very similar.
var aid = 6882
var HotelDetails2 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("http://xmlfeed.****.com/index.aspx?aid=" + aid + "&rtype=3&hids=100652", "hotel_search/hotel");
This works but have had great trouble with the wizard. As soon as I make it dynamic then it breaks the wizard, which I would like to use. I have tried having a line commented out which is unmodified so I can switch between the two but that really confuses it.
Just in case you were wondering I will be getting around to getting aid from a querystring but not there yet.
Any ideas, it can't be all that hard to do this surely and feel I must be missing something.
Thanks,
Steve.

Oracle SQL Developer error - "The file-based source procedure Name is not present in the database."

I recently started working on the Oracle SQL developer. I have 'select' privileges on the QA schema and when tried to execute proc in QA. It is giving the error as 'The file-based source <procedure Name> is not present in the database. Was it compiled?'
instead 'you do not have sufficient privileges to execute this procedure'. Did research on internet but with no luck.What configuration changes needed to be done to make it work.Guide me.

Sounds like you do not have the correct privileges. What should have been granted to you by the QA user, or some other user with appropriate privileges, is...
grant EXECUTE on "QA"."<PROCEDURE_OF_INTEREST>" to "<YOUR_USERID>" ;
Note that a grant of execute on a procedure has nothing to do with grants of select on some or all of QA's tables and views.
So, as Vadim suggests, from your connection node in SQL Developer's Connections view, if you expand the Other Users node, then expand QA and look in the Procedures node, do you see the procedure of interest? If not, you cannot expect to be able to execute it from your userid's connection. And even if you do see it, you may have some other privilege that permits viewing but not executing, like...
The role SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE
The system privilege SELECT ANY DICTIONARY
And even if you do not see it there, then having certain other privileges granted to you could permit executing it in general, like...
The role EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE
The system privilege EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
Also, note that the 3.0 release is a bit dated nowadays. Upgrading to 4.0.3 production or even the 4.1 EA2 (early adopter) release will, in general, give you a better experience.
Best wishes,
Gary

Dynamic read file based off inbound header

This is all done with BPEL
1. We want to get a file from a server VIA FTP adapter. So we setup an ftp adpter to get L11*.TXT (Any files beginning with L11)
1A.So we create this FTP adapter and then we create a receive activity to get this file from the FTP adapter.
***********Now mind you we have created our variables that come into play later such as inbound FTP adapter header & outbound FTp adapter header*************
2. Below this receive we create An assign activity with a copy operation.
Now for this assign we simply create a copy operation that includes our headers. Specifically we choose why down in the heirachy of Inbound and outbound ftp adter headers the :filename option
2A. So what we have is an assign with a copy operation from in bound ftp adapter to outbound ftp adapter
3. Then we have our fist invoke. ********Now mind you ************ BPEL cannot overwrite a file and the customer wants the file name the same as was picked up. Meaning no %seq # or %date or date stamp whatever you perfer.
So we do this first invoke and attach it to another FTP adpter that gets Sync file . Now this second ftp adpter will use the filename of the originally picked up file to go "pick up" and delete it from destination. We kinda trick the program if you will. So this ensures we dont delete a file that has a replacment behind it. Also ensures no overwriting or %seq # is needed.
On this invoke we have under adapters section Input header variable: OutboundFtpHeader (Mind you we did a copy on the first assign from inbound to outbound header varibale.)
We do nothing with any data collected between the first invoke and syncgetftpadapter. We just make it think it is going out picking up a file. And in this perspective we can choose delete after the pick up and inevitably it will "pick up file" At same time now that file is deleted on destination, thus making overwriting and %seq # not needed.
4.
We create another assign below our invoke
this has our inbound header copied to outbound once again
Specifically :filename
5.
This will lead to another invoke which leads to another ftp adapter that drops off the orginal file that was picked up now it can drop it off with that same filename as picked up and no overwriting neccassary because the file was deleted off the destination already.
Well when you make a Put ftp adapter you must specify a filname and we just want a dummy filename well we thiunk that is a dummy, because we are trying to use the orginal file name as the one to make it when it drops off whatever filename it picked up .
for example we choose test.txt thinking inbound variable will overwrite it
but the right file gets transferred but wrong file name attached.
my guess is that the putftpadapter overwrites any "filename specified" Or inbound header file name. lol you need to have a file name on the put you need one no way around it.
So i guess what im trying to do is pick up files then have the program dynamically be able to drop off that filename and contents to the destination.
Icould create three seperate programs for our three L11 files but that is alot of overhead?

Hmmm maybe someone can point me to a site that explains how to put catches in. I mean i know how to put them in but i want to make sure im doing this correctly. Also maybe debatching, I have heard of this but i want to understand how exactly it works and how to implment this.
Ok and one more thing ............ I have a 3 files as noted above that are suppose to move. Disregard my problem with send three and all that for a moment, Now I have stated above that we have a little trick included in this where we put a get on the source to "get" the files off the source cause for some reason it wont overwrite the file. Well on was doing some testing on my box. I got an exact replica of the files that we are doing this project for and i setup a test bpel project on my machine and deployed to our test env. Now I was deploying to our test env before also but the source server was a corporate server up in Canada. Now when i did this it overwrote the file :( so my next guess was hmmm maybe the source server FTP is not setup for our username to be able to overwrite the files???
I have a simple local FTP server and was looking at the setup, and my question is. There is an option(s) to pick for new user setups
delete
write
read
ammend
Would ammend give the right to overwrite ?
Not 100% sure the source is running the same ftp application as I am locally but it will overwrite a file
One more thing sorry lol
To try my catches out i would have to somehow make the file error in the middle os the process?
I was thinkin of that yesterday I'm like well i put the catch in but how do i know if it will truely work

Ideas for Dynamic Dashboard creation based on exchange rates

Hi,
There is a query to create dahboard for revenue details from various accounts (various sales companies with various currancies). The C-level executive would also like to view a consolidated graph (dashboard) for all comapnies with the options to select display currency as per his choice (USD/EUR/GBP etc) and the data would change according to the day's exchange rates (maintained in SAP C4C).
Now while a report can be made in which we give selection parameter based absolute parameter & exchange rate pick up date, the same is required at dashboard level to reduce the number of clicks & for ease of executive.
Can the experts guide me on creating such a dashboard...
Regards,
Rahul

hi Rahul,
With the current capabilities in the dashboard, you cannot pass a selection criteria. This is something on our list as a planned future capability.
In the meanwhile, if you can arrive at the main two or three currencies that the C-level user is interested in using for monitoring analytics, then you can create multiple variants for each of the reports for each currency and create multiple dashboards enabling the respective variants for each dashboard. Its not the most optimal, but you could have one dashboard per currency and the user can just switch via the dropdown to view the dashboard in the next currency of interest.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sebastine

How to creating a default for batch naming files?

I am currently going through a whole bunch of projects and am trying to batch rename the images. Each time, I have to make the changes I want in the batch rename box. Is there a way of creating a custom default (e.g. year, name, number) so that I don't have to start all over again each time i call up the batch naming box?

in the Version Name Format drop down click edit ...
from there click the + on the left side ... a new one will appear ... called untitled ... rename it and on the right drag items from the include section to the format section up above it ...

Need a script to do the following... rename files based on folder name...

Hi. Macophile just starting to tread the waters of Applescript, trying to use Automator but don't think it will do what I need.
I have many images stored with-in folders that I would like to extrapolate a given number of characters from the folder name and Add Text to the files within those given folders.
Basically...
Folder name is C00100_Descriptive
Files within folder are just Descriptive_01, Descriptive_02
Would like to make all files within a given folder take the first 7 characters from the folder and Add that text to all files and files within subfolders of that folder to make the resulting files shown as...
C00100Descriptive01
C00100Descriptive02
Along with this I would also like to incorporate into the script, an added step to create Thumbnail jpegs of the image files in a Subfolder under C00100_Descriptive folder.
I can see how to do that in automator but not specifying parameters such as taking a certain number of characters from the folder the file resides in and adding that selected text to the files.
Ideally I would like a droplet or something that I could take a bunch of folders and drop them on the droplet to perform these actions.
Any advice, help or guidance would be really helpful! Thanks in advance.

Modify Dynamic Prompt Values based on User Name

Hi,
I did some searching for this issue on the forum and could not quite find anyone with the same problem. If I missed something, please except my apologies in advance.
I have created a report within Crystal Reports 2008 with dynamic prompts. The report pulls possible values for the report directly from my database (MS SQL 2005). This works well.
I have deployed the report, with eclipse, under tomcat using the free JRC components provided by SAP.
This is a financial report which allows users to view the budget of a department. Each user will have one or many departments that they should have access to. Not everyone sees the same departmental information. I have a table that contains the user name of each individual and the department code they should have access to.
One of the dynamic parameters I have in the report now lists all department codes. Would it be possible to pass to the report a user name that would limit the listing within the department code parameter to only those departments the user name has access to (as specified in the security table I have setup for this)?
I need to do this within the JRC and not the Business Objects EDGE server. With this in mind, I do not believe I can use any of the RAS components of the JRC.
Thanks, in advance, for any advice or help you may be able to provide,
Dave

Aperture, good cataloger for Photoshop,but is there more?

Hi,
I am trying to maximize the benefits of Aperture, but there is still confusion. Aperture obviously is great at storing, cataloging, comparing, retrieving and opening images. The books and web tools are convenient and work quite well also. My problem is that I still have to go to photoshop for extrapolating my images to a larger size, resolution, then while there, I use Noise Ninja and Photokit Sharpener since it is convenient and the results are good. If I could at least extrapolate my image in Aperture for sharpening, I don't think I would need to go to Photoshop and that would be the ideal way to maximize Aperture.
My question is, why use Aperture for these things at all? I don't mean to sound negative. What Aperture does do, it does it quite well. I would just like to have it be the one stop shopping place for my images from camera to printer.
I can open, catalogue, compare, store, retrieve by metadata, and more in Photoshop already. I want to be told that Aperture is better for some reason than Photoshop, but I am not seeing it. What am I missing? Should I just interpolate in Photoshop, bring it back to Aperture and then print out of Aperture and then store it? It seems like an extra step for little benefit, especially when I can do this on my laptop and my desktop computers which I can not do with Aperture. (Don't really need the laptop for editing, but it would be nice to have)
I assume most who have Aperture are still using Photoshop for some things, but when does Aperture become indespensible as compared to being just a very nice looking raw image editor/cataloger?

Aperture's core strength is its integrated workflow, specifically in getting you from "lots of images" to "the images you really care about" quickly and efficiently. It doesn't have all the functionality of Photoshop (no true layers, no masking, many fewer 3rd party plug-ins), but it's great in getting you from 1000 shops to 25 "selects" in 30-60 minutes, when you've done some simple color correction and shadows/highlights to them.
If you need that, great. If you're a fine art photographer who is used to working with 4x5 or 8x10, maybe not so great, as you will need photoshop for every photo you work on.
Did you watch the videos on the Aperture site? If nothing those folks rave about meshes with how you work, perhaps it is a bad fit. Aperture isn't trying to be everything for everybody... which, based on the learning curve I went through with Photoshop, is a good thing. A very good thing

Offline files window shows drive name but no files to reconnect

I recently upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 in the middle of a project (I know, broke the golden rule) but I had backed up my whole system drive so that was OK, install went fine. Now whenever I open the project, the "some Files are offline" window pops up and under "Files to Reconnect" there is the name of the main Scratch drive but no files to reconnect. Any ideas how to stop this happening? It doesn't seem to hinder the editing process but it's a bug I could do without. Just annoying more than anything.

Before clicking on "Reconnect", check the box that offers you to "Forget" the files. there may be 2 - one for media and one for render files.
Nothing like that. Just the drive name "BYTE:" and lots of blank space

How can I automatically rename files based on an excel doc?

I am a scientist and recieve data files from some of my experiments with arbitrary, computer-generated names. For example, if I perform an experiment with four samples, which I name Sample1, Sample2, Sample3, and Sample4, I get back 4 data files named J30935D05.ab1, J30935E05.ab1, J30935F05.ab1 and J30935G05.ab1 along with an Excel doc that lists my names for the samples (sample1, sample 2, etc.) in one column and the computer-generated names for their corresponding files (J30935D05.ab1, J30935E05.ab1, etc.) next to them in another. Therefore, I must open the Excel file and look up which file corresponds to which sample before I can begin processsing my data. Usually these experiments involve a large enough number of samples (70-100 or so) such that looking everything up in the Excel doc gets very tedious and is quite time-consuming. Is there any way to create an automator workflow, applescript, or some other solution to rename these files based on the Excel doc? To clarify, I would like an automator workflow that would take a folder of arbitrarily named files, look up the names I have for the samples in the Excel doc, and rename the files accordingly. In the example, my folder containing files J30935D05.ab1, J30935E05.ab1, J30935F05.ab1 and J30935G05.ab1 would be turned into a folder containing the files renamed as Sample1.ab1, Sample2.ab1, Sample3.ab1, and Sample4.ab1. This example is a bit simplified, however, and trying a simple trick of just systematically renaming files within the folder would not work--both the original and the new file names must be looked up in the Excel doc, as these change dramatically from experiment to experiment. I would also need to maintain the file extension on each file after being renamed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Assign Logical file name for the physical file path through Program

Hi all,
I am having a physical file which is getting generated dynamically. It is having the date and time stamp in its name which is added at runtime.
Now I need to assign a logical file name for the physical file path through the program.
Is there any FM or any other method to assign the same.
Gaurav

I think it is not possible. becuase the date & time added at runtime. so if you check the table PATH you can find filename and their definitions

Problem with my program looking for the settings file in the wrong folder

I have been writing a simple FTP file uploader, what I want to do is be able to select the files I want to upload in windows explorer and then right click and click the menu item and it launches the program and passes the files paths that I have selected to it.
So I use this in the windows registry "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe -jar D:\BenFTP\BenFTP.jar %1"
It launches fine and has no problem finding the files I want to upload. The problem is that it tries to look for the settings file in the same folder that the file I am try to upload is in. Which it's not suppose to do since the settings file is in the same folder that the .jar is in.
Edited by: ColNewman on Feb 5, 2008 6:55 PM

So, you're looking for your settings file in your current working directory. There's no way to set the CWD in your registry entry (is there?) so that isn't a practical thing to do. Presumably you're using a File object or a FileReader or something? Can't do that.
One alternative is to look for the settings file in the classpath. You can get a URL to a file in the classpath like this:URL settings = this.getClass().getResource("/settings.xml");Or you can get an InputStream to read the file by using the getResourceAsStream method. You would have to make sure that your executable jar file contained a Class-Path entry that specified the right directory, because the directory the jar is contained in isn't automatically in an executable jar's classpath.
Another alternative is to ask the user where the settings file is supposed to be, and put an entry in the Preferences (java.util.prefs) to remember that location.

How to copy a files spotlight comments for an entire folder and place them in a different file with that same name

I have the same question in a different discussion but I already marked it as solved because one of the questions was answered. Here's the linke to the other discussion if your interested https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5970421
I have movie covers saved as a jpeg for every movie my family and I own. There is about 700 and they each have a comment of the main actors, release dates, and descriptions. This makes it easy to find what to watch.Is there an applescript, automator, program I can download, or program code supported in xcode that will do the following set of inscructions?
Take the name of the picture file and spotlight comment, copy and paste it to a movie file's comments to a file with the same name but obviously has different extention. For an example
In a Pictures folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.jpeg       Comment: (2008) Genre: Action...             <- copy comment
In a Movie Folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.m4v       Comment:                                               <- paste
and do this for all 700 files

Clendenen02 wrote:
where should I run the code? in the terminal, or an applescript, or should put it in xcode and run it from there or the terminal.
What MrHoffman said.
But if it's easier, you can wrap it in Automator and have Automator ask for the Folders: (Test on a sample of your files before running on all 700 files)
(do you really own 700 movies??)
The Workflow is:
Put this in the Run Shell Script Action (and pass input as arguments":
PicDir=$1
MovDir=$2
for f in $PicDir/*
do
     if [ ! -d "$f" -a "${f##*.}" = "jpeg" ]; then
          comment=$(mdls -raw -name kMDItemFinderComment "$f")
          if [[ $comment != "(null)" ]]; then
               picname=${f##*/}
               movname=${picname%.*}.m4v
               if [[ -e "$MovDir"/$movname ]]; then
osascript <<-EOF
tell application "Finder"
set comment of file (POSIX file "$MovDir/$movname") to "$comment"
end tell
EOF
               fi
          fi
     fi
done
(BTW, I know that this is a bit of sloppy scripting (wraping an osascript in a Bash Script wrapped in Automator, but it does what you need)

Editing XMP metadata in Bridge for checked-out files?

Our custom connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability because we do not want to change the XMP of a file in our DAM system without checking in a new file version.
However, when a file is checked out through Adobe Drive, we would expect to be able to edit its XMP metadata in Bridge just like we can for local files.
It looks like this is still not possible with Adobe Drive 3, i.e. if your connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability you cannot edit XMP for checked out files either.
It seems weird that you can edit XMP metadata for checked out files with regular CS applications but not with Bridge. Is this something that is expected to be fixed in a future version?
Thanks

In our design, editing XMP data in Bridge and in regular CS applications is different, the former one will be routed to SetXMPHandler in you connector, in the latter case, CS applications take the normal file writting ways to embed XMP data in the file content.
The purpose of this design is to offer similar user experience for normal users when they edit XMP data for AD assets and local file assets, they don't need to check-out files first.
To address your issue, I think you can add some codes in SetXMPHandler to auto check-out files before real XMP operation, and check-in them before exiting the handler
We will consider to make some enhancements for this part, that's, to allow editng XMP data for the checked-out files in Br, in the next release, thanks for this advice.

Why the keyword delimiter in Library is a "," and in the search field for dynamic collection it is a space?

PC Windows 8.1
Lightroom 5.6 and 6
Hello I have a problem with Lightroom 5 and 6 on the keywords and dynamic collections:
Let me explain: I take pictures of people and I put as keyword on each photo the full names of people who are in the picture.
- If the photo contains a person Toto Smith, I put as keywords Toto Smith.
- If the photo contains a person Toto Smith and Smith to Titi I put Toto Smith, Tito Smith
and so on
Imagine I have another picture or there Titi Yellow, Jean Dupon. Toto Blue
Now when I make my dynamic collection and I look the pictures "Contains everything" "Toto Dupon" and Titi Dupon, I will have in my collection also contains the photo: Titi Yellow, Jean Dupon. Toto Blue although in the latter there is neither Toto Smith nor Titi Smith.
This is because in searches for dynamic collections separator is not "," like keywords, but space.
How can I do my research without renaming all my keywords with a "_" between first name ans dlast name as this: firstname_lastname?
I think there is a problem of consistency, either you use the space as a delimiter anywhere either you use the comma, but the mixture of the two is not a good idea
Thank you

I see that it is a very very long and old issue.
I see some posts on internet from 2011 or before.
like:
