Uninstall air application on linux (ubuntu)

Hi, maybe this is a stupid question, but I can't figure out
how to uninstall an air application on linux.
Can you help me?

You can uninstall an installed AIR application (on all
operating system) by double-clicking the .air file used to install
it. The AIR application installer includes an option for
uninstalling an installed application.
On Linux, you can also use a package manager (such as
Synaptec Package Manager) to remove installed applications.

Creating a new connection when creating a report from scratch

I've searched all around but I haven't managed to find any samples or forum posts that show how to create a connection when creating a report from scratch via RCAPI. All of the code that I've found has been aimed at replacing the ConnectionInfo for an existing connection. I figured that it would work something like this:
m_crystalReport.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
m_crystalReport.newDocument();
IConnectionInfo ci = new ConnectionInfo();
PropertyBag propertyBag = new PropertyBag();
propertyBag.put("Use JDBC", true);
propertyBag.put("Connection URL", "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=" + DB_NAME);
propertyBag.put("Database Class Name", "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
propertyBag.put("Database DLL", "crdb_jdbc.dll");
ci.setAttributes(propertyBag);
m_connection = new Connection();
m_connection.setConnectionInfo(ci);
m_connection.open();
but this produces a NullPointerException within Connection.open(). If I leave the connection closed but add it to the report via DatabaseController.addConnection() then I just get the exception later on when I try to add tables using the connection.
Can anyone give me any pointers please?
Thanks,
Rich.

Just in case anyone else runs into this, I managed to fix it by leaving the connection closed and then using the connection info instead of the connection when creating tables, eg:
     ITable t = new Table();
     t.setAlias(v.getAlias());
     t.setName(v.getView().getName());
     t.setConnectionInfo(m_connectionInfo);
     getDatabaseController().addTable(t, null);

Create a Form from Scratch: Possible or Not

So, I have Acrobat X.
I want to create a form from scratch. I have Word doc, but it wasn't created to look like a form, and I didn't like the way it imported.
So, can I create a form from scratch. Or Not?
If you try to start from scratch, it suggests a template on formscentral - and after signing up for free and spending an hour making the form, I find that I can not save or save as PDF the form that I created without forking over my credit card information - for a free trial that bills in a few weeks. (As much as I like the form data collection tools available, I cannot have my data collected by Adobe.)
I can open an empty MS Word doc to start from - as my import choice - but can you make it any harder to mave the text around or enter new text? I never did figure out how to edit text. Is the answer going to be to edit my text in Word or in the plain PDF tool?
I just found the form creation to be completely counter intuitive.

Acrobat is not a Word processor, really. "Adding a carriage return" makes sense in a word processor, where the layout is still fluid. In a PDF the layout is finished, everything is a graphic. So, absolutely, it's designed to work with pre-made forms. To me, that's a strenghth - you can use the tools you already know to make the form background, then you add the fields in Acrobat. With work, you can preserve the fields over remaking the PDF, then just adjust the field positions.

Create a report from scratch, add Table and Datasource Problem

Hi,
I'm using the latest Crystal Reports Runtime supplied for eclipse.
I want to create a report from scratch, add a Table and then add a ArrayList of Pojos as the Datasource.
But unfortunately depending on the ConnectionInfo I supply to the Table I get different errors.
I looked through the samples and see that I have to supply properties
like
"Database DLL", "crdb_javabeans.dll" and ConnectionInfo.setUserName("");
     ConnectionInfo.setPassword(null)
I looked through the forums and find different set of properties.
Actually because I am just working with Pojos I would have thougth that something like the following
would be sufficient:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
            doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
            doc.newDocument();
Table table = new Table();
table.setAlias("reportTable");
table.setName("reportTable");
doc.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
doc.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(myCoolection, myClass, "reportTable", "reportTable");
So could someone tell me the right/minimum Set of Properties to make a Table get connected to Pojos?

With XI Release 2, you can come quite close to creating from scratch:

Hello,
here's the problem.
I'm trying to install an AIR application developed by me on a Linux Suse 10.1, and i'm getting Error #2004 (invalid parameters) usign the GUI installer or AIR.
I've searched here and on the web too, and i've not found a clear solution. I don't know if the problem is on the machine or on my app.
I've installed another app on same pc and it worked fine.
What i have to do?
Thank you in advance

Error updating AIR application on Linux

Hello,
I'm trying to update an AIR application that's already installed, and I'm getting the following error message every time:
"The application could not be installed because another application is already being installed. Complete the first installation before proceeding with this one."
There doesn't seem to be any other installation happening, and I still get the same error after restarting the computer.
I'm running AIR 2.6.0.19170 on Ubuntu 11.10. The end of Install.log is shown below (the full contents of the log are at http://pastebin.com/ExtFdpfg).
I'd be grateful for any suggestions as to how to resolve this.
Thanks

Headless Installer for AIR Application on Linux/Unix Platforms

Is there a way to install Adobe AIR applications without invoking the GUI wizard that walks through the step-by-step process? I have an AIR application that needs to be remotely deployed on a device (that's running Linux) from a terminal session (sometimes using a scheduled job run by a script) . Its a trusted environment and deployments are all within a single enterprise. Is it possible to automate the process of accepting a self-signed certificate and specify installation path as arguments to a command line installer? I played around a bit with the installer script but it seems to invoke the standard interactive GUI every time and that wouldn't work for my case. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am not sure about Linux platform but I have experience running headless installation for Mac OS X .
The command I execute is:
Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent -location /Applications SPS.air
If you are distributing the Air Runtime to clients, there is a license agreement you need to complete with Adobe. More here:

Is it possible for an AIR application to get the content dynamically from server in Android?

To give you people the context we will be developing Hybrid application using HTML5 and PhoneGap which will be published on Android and iOS platforms.
I want to know if an AIR application in android can get the content dynamically from the server. If yes, then how part comes into picture?
PS:- I dont have any knowledge about AIR applications and i am an Android developer and exploring this integration of AIR on android.

Yes, an AIR app on android (or iOS) can communicate with a server in several ways.
Search 'adobe air zend amf' on the web to see some examples.

Hi,
I have the same problem, did you get this resolved? I am new to the Crystal Report Java SDK and want to create reports from scratch but I can't find any good resources on the internet or the website.

CLD: Do you have to create the GUI from scratch?

I'm a little confused, because the ATM Machine example instructions seem to imply you're supposed to create the front panel from scratch. It also gave specifications on the Account.txt file.
However, some posts on this board have led me to believe that a GUI (and even data files) are provided for you ahead of time.
For people who have actually taken the exam: do I need to practice throwing the GUI together when I run through the practice exams, or should I be copying over the front panel from the solution?
Thanks.
http://linkd.in/mikele

In your exam packet, a USB stick will be provided. The USB stick will have the following:
A folder hierarchy consisting of two folders: SubVIs and Controls. You must use the folder hierarchy as provided and save your work in these folders.
The main VI with a fully developed front panel and the associated typedefs saved in the Controls folder. You must utilize the front panel as given. Note: You will have fill in the tips/description for the Controls, the VI documentation and develop a simple icon.
A data file (.csv or ini) file needed for the application
We are currently in the process of updating the sample exams to reflect this change. The updated samples will be available in the first week of July.

How to empty XE database and re-create tables/fields from scratch?

Hi,
I've installed XE database to port my VB6/Access application to it, and I know that XE is limited to one single database, so far so good. But I want to erase everything from inside this default database to create my own tables/fields from scratch. How can I do that?
I just want to have one single database file with some tables/fields inside it, and nothing else. The rest will be done through VB straight.
And what is the name of the default XE database file? Where is it stored? If I make a backup of this file, can I restore it after a crash in the future by overwriting the corrupted file? Is that this simple as Access is?
Sorry about those many questions and thanks for reading!
Roger.

If you want to erase everything, one solution is to uninstall Oracle XE and just to reinstall it.
Under Windows to avoid any issue, see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#CIHDDHJD.
If your application is owned by a single Oracle user account, you can also run (where <schema> is the Oracle user account name):
drop user <schema> cascade;To reinstall your application you would need to recreate the user account <schema> with the right privileges (CREATE USER ... and GRANT ...).

Creating a package from Github source and install instructions

hello
I've read that the correct way to install things is to make a package from source if it's not in a repository.
Install instructions: https://github.com/yaxu/Tidal/blob/mast … l-linux.md
I copied /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD.proto into the source directory but was having difficulty getting it to work.
I've actually just done make clean; make like it says in the instructions since I was thinking it's not installing anything (since it's not "make install").
It seems to have changed a few things in /usr/local/include...
I guess I'd like help creating the package,
and possibly undoing what I did with make clean; make.
Thanks

Tidal itself does not have a Makefile (except for its docs), so I suppose you’re talking about Dirt’s makefile. From what I can see it shouldn’t touch /usr/local/include or anything outside the build directory as long as you don’t run “make install”.
Arch doesn’t put anything in /usr/local anyway, as far as I know, so you can probably easily see if Tidal or Dirt put something in there…
It might be easier for you to first build Dirt and Tidal manually and then make a PKGBUILD once you know the different steps required.

When I create a file from scratch in Editor, then when I close, a Tag from my list of tag words in Organizer is applied to the file.

Always the same tag. This was happening late in Version 12 and I thought it would not reappear in Version 13, but it has from the time of upgrade.
I have tried clearing Preferences and do not see anything in 'File Info' that would be supplying the tag. I cannot dtermine if it is being applied in the Organizer or before, because it shows as soon as it appears in the Organizer.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Even though you create your PDFs with Acrobat 9.5 your students most likely use Reader X or Reader XI to open them. The message that they see is a security feature to prevent malicious PDFs from being downloaded and doing some harm. In Acrobat/Reader XI once you choose "Allow" by default it remembers it and does not ask the same question for all PDFs that come from the same domain. So, if you post your PDFs on the same site each student will see this message only once. There are ways to automatically deploy Reader pre-configured to trust certain sites but this is not that can be done on individual machines. This ability is used mostly by big companies that own the hardware and installed software.
