Update process for installed CS extensions

Hi,
Once a CS extension has been built and installed what options are there  if you want to send out a update for a CS extension you have developed, how do you notify users who have installed the extension that there is an update.
As CS Extensions created through CS Extension Builder are based on Adobe AIR is it possible to implement a update process similar to desktop AIR applications where it checks everytime it starts up if there is an update available or is there another solution?
Thanks
Stephen

Even if the whole process is not yet finalized yet, a few things can be said already:
Updates will be deloyed in the customer tennant => no explizit installation take place.
The update will probably be visible via the business configuration or a kind of system message.
Updates are also independent of the ByDesign release cycles.

  • Error in Update Process for optimistic locking

    Hello,
    I tried to create a tabular form according to this How-To:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/tabular_form.html
    which worked fine until I tried to implement the optimistic locking.
    I use the same update process:
    declare
    l_cks wwv_flow_global.vc_arr2;
    j pls_integer := 1;
    begin
    -- Get original MD5 checksum
    select wwv_flow_item.md5(job,mgr,hiredate,sal,comm,deptno) cks
    BULK COLLECT INTO
    l_cks
    from emp;
    -- Compare the original checksum, l_cks,
    -- with submitted checksum, htmldb_application.g_fcs.
    -- If they are different, raise an error.
    for i in 1..l_cks.count
    loop
    if htmldb_application.g_fcs(i) != l_cks(i) then
    rollback;
    raise_application_error(
              -20001,
         'Current version of data in database has changed '||
              'since user initiated update process.');
    return;
    end if;
    end loop;
    but as soon as I try to apply the changes in the update process I get an error message saying: PLS-00503: RETURN statement required for this return from function
    So, if i delete the row with the "return;" statement, I get no error anymore, but when I test the optimistic locking I get an error as soon as I try to update a row in the first place.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Johnny
    P.S. : I am using Apex 1.6

    Hi Ant, of course......here is the customized pl/sql block I use:
    declare
    l_cks wwv_flow_global.vc_arr2;

    from UNITS;
    -- Compare the original checksum, l_cks,
    -- with submitted checksum, htmldb_application.g_fcs.
    -- If they are different, raise an error.
    for i in 1..l_cks.count
    loop
    if htmldb_application.g_fcs(i) != l_cks(i) then
    rollback;
    raise_application_error(-20001,'Current version of data in database has changed ' || 'since user initiated update process.');
    -- return;
    end if;
    end loop;

    else
    if htmldb_application.g_f10(i) is not null then

  • 7.1 update process for CS2 users

    Hi - I want to update the Acrobat 7.x Pro / Designer 7.0 combo on a PC which came with CS2.
    Can I just run the 7.1 install and let it intelligently remove and install over existing Designer 7.0 ? I ask because - unlike standalone Acrobat install, CS2 does not seem to offer you a way of manually uninstalling Designer 7.0
    By the way - unless I've missed something, the ReadMe on the 7.1 CD talks about everything except the 7.0 > 7.1 update procedure. Think this should always be explained, even if no problems foreseen.

    "Anyways, moral of the story is I shouldn't open my big mouth about things I don't know for sure
    Chris
    Adobe Enterprise Developer Support" - LOL - confirms my long-held opinion that Adobe staffers are generally honest and friendly people. Probably too honest ;o)
    "It would be helpful if Adobe published a document that listed (e.g. in tabular form) the functionality that works/exists in various Designer + Acrobat combinations. " - definitely, but this is where Adobe always fall down. It is as if they just don't have the layer of people who should be around to do this kind of stuff.
    Which reminds me - what exactly are QA people there for? Most QA people I know can't figure out how to use the elevator.
    They need to employ at least one person per product whose sole job is just to see things from a customer's viewpoint (not form Adobe's!!!) - we would soon see improved documentation (especially on the Javascript side!) and more logical install routines.

  • Updated Process for the Ideas Exchange

    Hey folks! Spotify Community team here.
    If you've been around the Spotify Community for a while, you've probably noticed that we keep tabs on your suggestions for improving Spotify through our Idea Exchange. 
    In an effort to keep the Idea Exchange as organized and up-to-date as possible, we've changed the way Ideas are submitted. We've outlined the new process with a step-by-step guide below. 
    We hope that you continue submitting ideas to make Spotify even better.  While we can't promise that we'll implement every idea that you submit, but we'll always do our best consider each one and provide updates wherever possible. 
    The guidelines:
    Search for previously submitted ideas.  Someone may have already submitted the same idea.
    One idea per post.  No double dipping.  
    Ensure the idea is implementable.  Avoid posting general feedback or questions in the idea exchange--the more specific the idea the better.  
    Use an intuitive title.  
    Submitting a new idea:
    1. Go to the Idea Submissions Board.
    2. Click the New Idea button.
    3. Enter an Idea Subject that includes one of the tags above. 
    4. In the Body enter a detailed description of your idea, including any screenshots or links you'd like to share. 
    5. Select one a platform label.
    6. Then select a subcategory label.
    7. Click Post. 
    8. One of our Idea Guardians in the Rock Star Program will analyze the idea and mark it either as a "Live Idea" or close it for a specified reason (duplicate idea, unspecified, etc). Allow us to introduce our Idea Guardians: Marco, FredJ, gprocess, Peter, dinomight, Anthony, pnc, Jordi, kbrooksc, Carina, OviiiOne, and Rodrigo.
    9. If your idea reaches the Live Idea board it can then start to gain kudos and comments from other users.
    10. Once your idea reaches 100+ kudos a Community Manager or Moderator will update the status to one of the following:
    The Idea statuses: 
    New Suggestion (no status/default one): the idea was just posted, it is waiting to be reviewed by an Idea Guardian.  
    New Idea: this is a new and unique idea, you can add your kudos here. 
    Inactive Idea: Ideas that could not gather at least 25 kudos per year will get closed - you can submit this idea again if you still feel the topic should get some attention. We recommend changing the title or description if posting the same idea again.
    Good Idea, give it some kudos: We like this idea. A decision has not been made but we want to see how much the Community continues to vote on it.
    Under Consideration:  This has been brought up internally. 
    Watch this space: This feature is coming. We have a rough pipeline for its release. 
    Not right now: We talked about this internally and it’s not on our pipeline for the next few months or more.
    Case Closed:  We talked about it, but we won’t be running with it. Thanks anyway!
    Implemented:  This feature has rolled out on the specific platform.
    Needs more info:  We need more clarity or information around this idea from the original poster.
    Curious for more information about the Ideas Board? Check out The Ideas Board: How your feedback reaches Spotify.
    Thanks for your continued feedback and contributions everyone,
    The Spotify Community Team 

    Ah, yes, now I see it. For those of us with less than perfect vision, how about putting the text in red in the center of the page as opposed to in only slightly darker green to the right. I've never used this page before so I had no idea there even was something to select on the right hand side. Also, the first link in the first post on this page gives me this: "You do not have sufficient privileges for this resource or its parent to perform this action.Click your browser's Back button to continue.Return to my original page"

  • Plateform Independent Patching Process for Install and deployment

    I have a requirement to download an application/patch from the content server and install in the existing jboss environment. I am looking for a Tool to create a package that can be downloaded and executed at jboss end to install any application in the same jboss container. The tool should compatible for Mac and Windows.
    Please let me know if there is a way exists to do the same. Help is appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi,
    Agree with Tek-Nerd.
    What's more, as the Lync FE patch of Site is 8308.857, so before you move CMS and PChat Server, please update it to the latest version of CU firstly.
    Also, as you enable mirroring database, it is recommended to use the Invoke-CsDatabaseFailover -NewPrincipal Primary command, and then verify
    that the primary server is principal for all databases before you run the Install-CsDatabase cmdlet.
    Best Regards,

  • 7.1 Update process for Acrobat 7.x standalone users

    OK, tried this one on a PC with Acrobat 7.x Pro (updated to 7.05) and the bundled Designer 7.0.
    The Designer 7.1 installer does not remove Designer 7.0, so confusingly you end up with both on the same machine. Can't think of any reason why this would be the desired effect... (can they co-exist safely?)
    The 'Before you install' section does not appear to contain any info on the above situation.

    just keep trying is the best advice i have. Good luck

  • Exchange update won't install

    In Ai CC 2014 (subscriber), when I try to open the Exchange Panel, the panel opens and tells me to click Update for the latest features. When I do that, it asks if it's OK to run the Extension Manager. When I click OK, it then spins the wait icon forever.
    I've reinstalled Ai CC 2014, and I've run the Extension Manager manually, and everything appears to work, but this update process for the Exchange Panel never completes, so I can't access the Exchange.
    Any help would be most appreciated.

  • RG1 Register Updation Process URGENT

    Dear All,
    During the updation process for Excise Invoices, how does the system differentiate between an export shipment and Domestic shipment.
    In the J1I5 transaction code there is a field called  classification where we have
    IDH : Removal from factory on payment of duty for home use
    IDE: Removal from factory without payment of duty for export under bond
    What i want to know is how the system distinguishes between documents that belong to IDH transaction and documents that belong to IDE transaction. are there any settings required for that.
    Because when i select the IDH transaction the system is also selecting export documents. what can be the reason for the same.
    Deepak

    Hi
    Please Check this out.. this may help you..
    Update of Registers RG 1 and RG 23 (Part I)
    Use
    You use this report to update the information in the following registers:
    RG 1
    RG 23A, Part I
    RG 23C, Part I
    This report only creates register entries for goods movements that have not already been entered. It does not create duplicate entries.
    You cannot print or display these registers using this report. It is solely for the purpose of updating the registers. Instead, to download the registers, use the Download Register Data report
    Prerequisites
    You have specified in the material master data which materials are to be entered in register RG 1.
    For each of these materials, you have maintained the material form in table J_2IRG1BAL as below. Do not make any entries in fields that are not listed below:
    Field
    Field entries
    EXGRP
    Material’s excise group
    DATUM
    Date from which RG1 report is required, normally the date of going live
    MATNR
    Material
    FORM
    Enter P (Packed) or L (Loose). Do not leave this field blank.
    WERKS
    Leave this field blank.
    OP FN UOM
    Leave these fields blank.
    All quantities in this table are updated in the base unit of measure of the material.
    OP BN UOM
    CB FN UOM
    USNAM
    User ID of the person filling out the table.
    CPUDT
    Date of entry
    CPUTM
    Time of entry
    Features
    To access the report, from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Indirect Taxes ® Registers ® Excise Tax ® Update RG 23A/C Issues and RG 1.
    Selection
    On the selection screen, you specify:
    Which documents you want to cover:
    Enter general organizational details in the Company details group box.
    Enter details about the documents that you want to include in the register, in the Document header and Document details group boxes.
    Which register you want to update, in the Registers group box
    Whether you want to run the program in batch mode
    You can also check what date the data was last extracted.
    Output
    The system displays a list of material documents that have not yet been entered in the register.
    Select the documents that you want to add to the register.
    To check if there is enough stock in the specific excise group for the register for issues or receipts, select the line items and choose Simulate.
    We recommend that you use this option before proceeding; it will show the line items that can be updated in the register.
    Issues and receipts are handled separately based on the following register and classification code combinations:
    Register Type
    Goods issues
    Goods receipts
    RG 23A
    IIM
    ROP
    IPD
    IWD
    RG 23C
    IIM
    ROP
    IPD
    IWD
    RG 1
    IDH
    RMA
    IDE
    ROP
    IWE
    IWT
    IWO
    Lines that can be updated in the register will be shown with a green traffic light, while those which are not eligible (for example, if there is not enough stock on hand) will be marked with a red traffic light.
    You can reselect the required line items and repeat the Simulate process.
    Select the line items you want and choose Register entry.
    The system updates the Part I or RG 1 tables with the material documents.
    For RG 1 issues to sales, wherever there is an excise invoice it is picked up and used for RG 1 updating.
    The same option can be used for creating entries in RG 23A or RG 23C Part I registers. While creating entries in the register, system will pick up only those material documents for which Part I posting has not been done yet.
    Hope it helps you

    Hi
    A little information will be of a great help, witch iPhone did you upgrade, memory , and version of software ( iOS 8.x.x )?
    Try restarting you iPhone and make sure you have a god internet connection , get as close to your wifi router (1-3 meter / 2-9 feet ) as possible. Don't use restore to factory  settings before you tried other options .  And most imported du you have an iCloud backup.

    Hi all- I'm new to this online community of Apple support; my iPhone 5s is stuck on a screen that has the connect to iTunes icon, this started after I upgraded to IOS 8.1.1 from the beta to fixed version; I don't use iTunes and have an IPad, home PC, office PC, and Galaxy Tab, and I went through (failed) the process of installing itunes on my office PC but needed to update windows; after going through all redommendations I could find, including Apple phone support, I still haven't had success.  Does anyone know a way to get my phone past that screen?  I don't have time to keep doing updates and installation attempts;'I don't care about the content at this point; but I can't get to the settings to "reset all" and start from scratch; I bought i loud for storage and have an old 4s that has a broken screen butt still works and I have another active 4s on my plaN.  Im not tech savvy myself; but I know some community members are pure geniuses! !I just need a fast way to fix this bug;'I use it for work and it's been inaccessible all week, the only time I have to go to an Apple Store is this weekend; I don't want to move to the iphone6 because it's too big.  I didn't know this community existed; it's cool; for this issue, I just have no time for a new phone or phone support again; I'm posting this question as a last resort; any feedback is appreciated......and I apolo in advance if this post goes under the wrong thread

    No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • Looking for easy to follow guide for building a software updates process.

    I am hoping that I can get some general guidance here. I have responsibility for sccm 2012 in our environment. I also have to do exchange 2010, all Cisco networking and a few other large platforms. Needless to say it gets to difficult to get on a task and
    stay focused for long periods of time. I tend to just sort of keep things running and that's all I usually have time for. 
    We have sccm 2012 and it's mostly used for OSD right now. I have been tasked with developing and implementing a process for critical updates across the organization. We have one primary site and three secondaries with about 2500 machines. There is no history
    of doing updates here other than a previous person who used to do them via WSUS and GPO. But that has not happened for well over a year now.  My problem is that I have no familiarity with doing updates via WSUS or sccm. So it's all pretty new to me. I
    got Kent Agerlunds book and like his detailed approach and was hoping to just sort of adopt that process and tailor it to this environment. 
    I do have WSUS installed in our primary location and the SUP point on our primary and secondary servers. Things seem to be syncing fine. Now I need to try to put together a process that is easy to manage and works.   The biggest problem I find is that
    given I have primary ownership for a wide range of technologies in a company that is not a small mom and pop organization, it is difficult to sit down and get the necessary time to hammer this out. Everytime I sit down to work on this I feel I have to try
    to learn it all over again. For some reason, probably my lack of experience with even WSUS or patching in general, they way this is supposed to work is just not sinking in effectively. 
    Can someone recommend a decent guide that is easy to understand and easy to follow? I find so much material out there on this topic that it gets a bit overwhelming and I spend what time I do have available jumping from document to document and not really
    getting a decent foundation of how this is supposed to work. 
    Also, if anyone cares to chime in how they would maybe approach this task if assigned to them. Imagine and environment that has no software updates in place and basically never did. Machines are very, very outdated. I have disabled automatic updates via
    a GPO ( this was recommended in the Agerlund book). 
    Also, since this is basically a ground zero environment should I have two focuses? One, just getting everything up to date, and then a second process for keeping things up to date?
    I realize this is a really broad info dump that I'm asking for, but I find just googling and trying to figure this out ends up with a scattered bunch of links that I don't really feel help me just get started on the right track.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You just need to deploy software updates to specific collections periodically, such as Automatic deployment rules, keep things up to date. Then monitor the status to make sure deployments are successful.
    The following KBs describe how to plan software updates.

  • Error Code 8024200D while installing update KB3000850 for Windows 8.1

    Error Code 8024200D while installing update KB3000850 for Windows 8.1
    I have been prompted for the last 10 days to install the important update KB3000850 in my laptop, but the installation fails every time.
    Two days ago, on March the 12<sup>th</sup>, I installed 31 updates without any problem. What is wrong with this particular update?
    You will find below my dialogue with Microsoft Support Engineer, Mr Niranjan Manjhi, who referred me to you:
    Hi Michelle,
    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
    I understand that you are unable to install the a specific update KB3000850. I will be happy to assist you with your query. Let me ask you;
    Is your computer connected to domain?
    Which security software is installed in the      computer?
    Do you remember making any specific change in the      computer prior to the issue?
    This November update rollup also includes all previous updates since the previous image update in April 2014 and this includes performance and reliability
    improvements.
    Cause:
    This issue occurs because a process keeps a file in the component store open. Therefore, the file cannot be deleted or overwritten. Let's try the methods below and
    check the status.
    Method 1: Depending on the architecture of your
    Windows 8.1 operating system, I would suggest you to install the following package first and then try installing the KB3000850.
    All supported x86-based versions of Windows 8.1: [link] Download the package now.
    All supported x64-based versions of Windows 8.1:
    [link] Download the package now. 
    Restart is required.
    Method 2:
    If the issue still persists, run the Windows Update Troubleshooter and check the status.
    Click to run
    [link] Windows Update Troubleshooter
    Also refer to:
    [link] Troubleshoot problems with installing updates
    Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.
    Regards,
    Niranjan Manjhi
    Dear Niranjan,
    Thank you for your answer.
    To answer your questions:
    1) Yes, my laptop is connected to the domain,
    2) My security software is McAfee Total Protection, the same I use for my PC running Windows 7 XP,
    3) I did not make any specific change to the laptop. It is true though that I run regularly McAfee´s QuickClean.
    In your answer, you suggested 2 methods for resolving the problem.
    I chose to apply first the second one, i.e. I ran once again the Windows Update Troubleshooter, which revealed again the following status:
    Potential Windows Update Database error detected Ox800F08F: Not fixed
    Windows Update components must be repaired: Fixed
    And a last information: Yesterday, McAfee´s Vulnerability Scanner was automatically activated, showing as "critical" the update in question ("important" according to Windows)!
    As for applying the first method you suggested, I will need the services of a professional, someone more IT literate than myself.
    Michelle
    Hi Michelle,
    Thank you for keeping us updated on the issue.
    Since the computer is connected to domain, I would request you to post your query in the TechNet forums as your question is beyond the scope of what
    is typically answered in this consumer forum and would be better suited for the IT Pro audience on TechNet.
    Please post your question in the link TechNet Forums.

    Hi there @Achintya-only
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I see that you are getting an error code, when you try to install Windows 8.1 from USB or DVD. I am happy to assist.
    Just to clarify, you are using a standalone Windows installation disk, you are not using a factory recovery image. Is that correct?
    Have you run the hardware diagnostics on your notebook? HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
    What operating system was on the system before, and have you made a set of recovery media, for your original factory installation?
    Please let me know what you find.
