Authentication using CSOM with Project Online

How are we to connect to Project Online with CSOM? All the SDK articles do not include any type of authentication. So if we are trying to use the CSOM to list out projects, and I try to create a credentials object and pass that to the ProjectContext.Credentials,
how would this work with the Project Online solution?
If I try to use the standard network credentials, I get "(403) Forbidden" when I pass in my onmicrosoft.com account and password for credentials. I am the admin on my instance.
So a little help on understanding how to connect remotely to Project Online via CSOM would be great.
Here is a sample PowerShell script I am using. Same result in C# too:
Add-Type -Path 'C:\Sync\Microsoft EPM\Scripts\Microsoft.ProjectServer.Client.dll'
$credentials = Get-Credential "[email protected]"
$pwaPath = "https://bossnunyatest.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa"
$projContext = New-Object Microsoft.ProjectServer.Client.ProjectContext($pwapath)
$projContext.Credentials = $credentials
$projContext.Load($projContext.Projects)
$projContext.ExecuteQuery()
#Receive (403): Forbidden although I am admin
#This works fine against OnPrem
$projContext.Projects|select Id,Name
Thanks,
Kirk

Project Online is a part of SharePoint. Programmatically accessing Project Online uses the procedures that are described in the Office and SharePoint app development SDK; see
Build apps for SharePoint. PowerShell can be used to administer Project Server 2013 (Windows
PowerShell cmdlets for Project Server 2013); I don't know of a way that PowerShell could be used with the CSOM for Project Online.
App development with the CSOM requires Visual Studio 2012 with the Office and SharePoint tools and other client components installed. See
How to: Set up an environment for developing apps for SharePoint on Office 365. The simplest way to start is to create a SharePoint-hosted app; the other app types require using
OAuth. The procedures for Project Online are essentially the same as described in How to: Create a basic SharePoint-hosted app, except you'd provide the URL of your PWA site
instead of the URL for SharePoint, and instead of the SP.ClientContext, you use
$(document).ready(function () {
var projContext = PS.ProjectContext.get_current();
var pwaWeb = projContext.get_web();
... and in the Default.aspx page, set a reference to PS.js, e.g.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/ps.debug.js"></script>

How to use PSI with Project online 2013

There are some entities in project server that we cant interact with using Client side object model like views etc. We need to use PSI for them.
If not, Is there any other approach to get entities such as views.

Hello,
You can use the PSI, this link for SharePoint Online claims auth will help you authenticate - this helped us :)

Using iMovie6 with projects on external FW400 and FW800 drives ...SLOW!

Shouldn't iMovie6 work smoothly with movie projects stored on external Firewire 400 or 800 hard-drives?____ ...or am I expecting too much?!!
With the FW400 drive, the performance I'm experiencing is unacceptable. It's excruciatingly slow (even simply mouse/slider movements take forever) and the playback is so choppy, it's useless. (this is after converting an iMovie3 project to iMovie6 -- could this be a factor too?__)
Those on FW800 seem to work better (as they should) but even though the audio seems OK, the video playback is very jerky and it still takes a few seconds for it to respond to any mouse action.
Is FW400 simply too slow for iMovie?____
I presume USB2.0 would be just as bad.

Is FW400 simply too slow for iMovie?
Both types of FireWire drives should work fine. I'd look for another cause.
If your camcorder is a Canon, search the forum for how to avoid FireWire conflicts.
Otherwise, perhaps there's a clue here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
Try resetting your FireWire ports? Disconnect all FireWire devices, do a Shut Down, disconnect your Mac's power cord from the wall outlet, wait 15 minutes, then reboot.

Can Project Lite be used with "Project Online with Project Pro for O365"

Hello MS Support,
I am aware that Project Lite does not functions as a stand alone, it either works with Project Online or Project Server. However, I wanted to check and be very sure before buying, if Project Lite will work equivalently well with "Project Online with
Project Pro for O365".
Project Lite:
https://products.office.com/en-IN/project/compare-microsoft-project-management-software
Project Online with Project Pro for Office 365:
https://products.office.com/en-us/project/project-online-with-project-pro-for-office-365
Prompt reply will be a great help.
Regards,
Urvashi

Urvashi:
Project Lite grants access to update timesheets and tasks only. You cannot use Project Pro to connect to Project Online with this license. Everyone who manages schedules using Project Professional or Project Pro for Office 365 must have a full license for
Project Online and a license for Project Pro. Project Lite is not a license that applies to on-premises installations. For that you acquire a different type of license.

Has anyone used GitHub with RH projects?

Does anyone have any experience using GitHub with RoboHelp? I don't plan on setting it up to use the RoboHelp UI to check individual topics in and out. I just want to check out the entire project. If anyone has any experience with this, any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Also, can anyone please tell me which files to exclude when checking in the project? I know you're supposed to exclude the .cpd file, but I think I read that there are others. Unfortunately, I can't find the thread where this was discussed.
Thanks.

As long as you check out/check in the entire project folder, you should
be fine. For RoboHelp, it's then as if there was no source control.
Exclude the CPD. Just include all the other files. (Don't forget to add
new files to the source control when you create them.)
Kind regards,

Web ADI with excel 2010,

Hi,
Is it possible to use Web ADI with excel 2010.
I saw an article in metalink saying we need to apply a patch in order to word.
However we were able to generate the template without applying the patch, but it didnt have the Oracle under Add Ins menu.
Does anyone know if it is possbible to use web adi with excel 2010 without appying a patch.
Thanks and Regards,
MPH

Hi
Please try this
Close all your excel windows which you have opened
open new excel, navigate to
File-->Options-->Trust Center--> Click on Trust Center Settings
select Macro Settings --> Select the radio button Enable all Macros (not recommended;potentially, dangerous code can run) { dont worry about selectign this option once web adi is downloaded changes back to its original disable notifications icon}
Enable the check box Trust Access to the VBA Project Object Model
Click on OK again click on OK close the excel
Thanks

Using Excel with Visual C++ 6.0 (need a graph control that behaves as much like the one in CVI as possible)

I hate to beat this to death but I was unable to find a
clear answer to this question. Does NI provide Excel control from within
Visual C++ 6.0?
I read that NI supports the ANSI-C library only for Visual C++ 6.0 users:
Thread : "Re: Benifits of using measurment
studio for VC++ 6.0?"
NI REP : drohacek
Quote : "we made the decision to support Visual
C++ 6.0 users only through the ANSI-C interface and not through the Measurement
Studio MFC-based class libraries."
If there is a suggested way of controlling Excel from within Measurement Studio
for Visual C++ 6.0 then I’d love to know it.
If not, can a plain statement be made basically stating that if you want
to control Excel you can’t use a Visual C++ 6.0 environment even with Measurement
Studio support?
With .NET of course you can just decide to have Excel support added during
project creation. CVI can act as an ActiveX server and easily control
Excel just by building off the examples shipped with CVI. I see that
there is support, using the Measurement Studio for Visual C++ 6.0 Project Wizard,
for taking existing CVI projects and converting them to Visual C++ 6.0 projects
or for calling CVI libraries from a .dll from within Visual C++ 6.0. I suppose I could do the work
in CVI and then convert the project but I'm so deeply tied into all my MFC calls that I don't see
how I can cleanly include the CVI libraries into my existing VC++ 6.0 projects.
What I'm really after here is a visual graph control like the one in CVI that I
can use from Visual C++ 6.0. I purchased a 3rd party graph control for use
in VC++ 6.0 that works well but isn't really visual. I mean you can't
enter any values in it until you run the program and fill it out programmatically.
Then you can see which columns are two narrow, quit the program, adjust the
column width of your now empty control, and repeat, until you get the thing
looking the way you want. If I could call into Excel from within Visual
C++ 6.0 the way I do from within .NET
then I could use Excel to hold the table and just read in the values into my table
control at run time. Basically I'd use Excel as a visual development tool
for all my tables.
I do all my coding from within CVI and Measurement Studio for Visual C++
6.0. I'd use CVI for everything if I didn't depend so heavily on certain
outside controlled C++ .dll's. Could you please suggest then what I can
do to get Excel support for Visual C++ 6.0?
Last question :
Is there any plan to ever have a NI table control like the CVI table control for
use in Visual Studio? One that you can
completely set up before you do any compiling?
I imagine that the way Microsoft sets up their environment makes this idea impossible. Otherwise someone would
have come up with a truly “visual” table control before now.
Thanks,

Hello Grant
You can most certainly use Excel with VC++ 6.0. Measurement Studio won't provided you with any classes to talk to Excel in VC++ 6.0. This is because Excel allows control via Automation and you can use its automation API to do anything you need with Excel. This is what CVI uses as well.
You can see this MSDN article on how to set this up. This mentions VC.NET, but it should work the same way.
Here is one that talks about VC 6.0 and Excel.
Here is a code project article about this.
Even with .NET, you have to do thru the Excel Automation support. Excel started shipping with Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) which are .NET wrappers about the Excel Automation object model. C++ Automation is definetely not as nice as .NET, BTW
See this document for more information about the Excel object model.
I would not recommend using the CVI Excel libraries if all you want to use them for is Excel automation. You will end up creating un-necessary dependencies and go through extra layers that way. You can make calls straight to Excel from VC++ without requiring CVI.
One quick observation about your excel approach. If you decide to use Excel as your table, you might be requiring everyone who uses your application to have Excel installed on their machines. Just wanted to make sure this was acceptable to you.
Have you looked at the Datagrid Activex control, which is one of the common controls that ships with Visual Studio? You can add it to Visual Studio by right-clicking and picking it from the list of installed activex control. If you have not already, you should check it out.
Microsoft has made significant improvements in the number of controls they provide with .NET. They have a Datagrid control that seems to be what you need.
Measurement Studio did add some high level classes for Excel and Word Automation that simplify some common tasks, but these exists for VS 2003 C++ and VS 2005 C++, not for VC 6.0. Underneath, we end up using the same Excel automation classes, so you can easily setup something similar for VC 6.0. Plus you can find alot of references online on how to use the Excel Automation object model with C++.
We currently have no plans in Measurement Studio to create a table control unfortunately. I am assuming when you said graph, you actually meant table, since Measurement Studio already provides a ActiveX graph controls for VC++ 6.0 that is very similar to the CVI graph.
On a side note, VC++ 6.0 is really really old. Have you considered upgrading?
To summarize
- Yes, you can use Excel with Vc++ 6.0 without mstudio.
- Try using the Datagrid Activex control if you just need a table.
- Measurement Studio provides high-level excel and word classes for VC++ 6.0
- Measurement Studio provides a graph control for VC++ 6.0 which is very similar to the CVI graph.
- Measuremnt Studio does not have a table control.
- VC++ 6.0 is really really old. Have you considered upgrading?

How to get a list of file paths for all files used in a project

I have a project in Premiere Pro CC which has a large number of bins. A sequence in one of these bins uses files from other bins. I am trying to find the locations of all each of the files used in the project.
1) Obviously I can select each clip in the timeline and show in finder, but there a lot of clips
2) The video usage associated with each file in the project would help. However
1. I haven't found a way to display only clips that have video useage if all of the bins have not been expanded.
2. Video usage shows usage for all sequences, so one would have to manually check the pull down for each file to see if it is used in the sequence in question.
3) I tried exporting the project to final cut pro xml. The path url gives me the information that I need. For some reason, however, when I do the export only one clip's information is there, not the information for all of the other clips in the project.
4) I tired an export for speedgrade and all of the file names are there. However the paths are not.
Basically I want to find all of the files in the project and relocate them to a specific folder for that project. There's got to be a way to do this but I'm not seeing it ....

Thanks for the suggestion concerning the file path. And certainly it would have been nice to have done this before beginning. However this is a project that has been around for quite a while, and the files have been moved into different bins. And now the project sequence is being revised.
So the problem is, worded slightly differently, how can I search all of the bins for the files that are used just by this sequence, ignoring the files which are used by other sequences? Or, how can I get a list of the file paths of the files that are used in the sequence?

Exporting the Browse Sequence XML file for Use in Another Project

When I generate a browse sequence based on the TOC using zero for the book level, instead of getting A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, I get A, B, A1, A2, B1, B2. The TOC runs through all 1st level items first, cycles back through all 2nd level item, then 3rd level, etc.
My workaround was to auto-create the browse sequence at a 0 level and then manually manipulate it to output according to how my readers would actually read my online book (ie A Aa A1 A1a A1b A2 A2a A2b B B1 etc etc).
Now that I have my browse sequence in the correct order for this project, I do not want to repeat these steps every time I create a new version of my OLH for the same guide after some minor updates have been made to the FM source.
There is a file named whbrs.xml inside the output folder and it contains the browse sequence order I specified during my workaround steps.
Is it possible to export this file to another location for use in another project referencing the same guide?
This methodology is much preferred as I am working at an enterprise level with multiple documents (some numbering in the hundreds of pages) and do not want to have to manually use my workaround for each project I update over the next few years.

Hi Kristopher
You probably wouldn't want to use that particular file as it's an output file. You would likely have better luck using the ProjectName.BRS file as that one should be a source file.
However, keep in mind that whether (or how well) this will work will entirely depend on having the recipient project using the same identical structure and identical file names.
Cheers... Rick

Imovie on my ipad ...refuses to recognize AVCHD Video. Also when i remove video clips already used in a project, it is unable to recognize missing clips after I've put them back. How do I get around these 2 issues?

My iMovie refuses to recognize, import, or work with AVCHD Video. It also refuses the same video clips even after I have converted them to Mp4. Also, when I delete a video clip already used in a project, then later import the same clip back to my ipad, the software is unable to recognize and find the clip again! Help! How do I get around these issues?

Hi Craig,
I also got the second problem. The storyboard on iMovie trailer has all these missing videos. If I import them on my iPad it doesn't find them.
If you find a solution it would be much appreciated to share it here ... I'll do the same.
Thanks,

How to use BC4J with JDeveloper 9i in a Team

Hello
I'm not sure if I'm to stupid, but to say the truth I didn't found the clue how to share a BC4J Application between several develeopers. Maybe someone can give me a hint.
That's my situation:
Our team is going to develop a web application using BC4J and BC4J-JSP, nothing special I think.
But my problem is, that BC4J and especially the wizards refer to a lot of different files. Even simple changes often result in multiple files being changed in different parts of the project.
Creating a view link between view objects in two packages for example changes the view objects in both packages. Also the project (.jpr) file or several "BC4J.xcfg" files are changed very often.
So it is not easy to find parts of code from which I can say they are owned by one developer and others which are owned by another. Most often, if you have to merge the work of different developers, you have to edit the BC4J-XML-Files using an external editor. Or did someone find a better way? Please tell me!
So, what is the best way to share code between developers?
Should I partition the application by packages?
- advantage:
it allows a fine partitioning
- disadvantages:
it has the great danger that BC4J makes changes in other packages which will be overseen when merging.
Should I create a projects for each developer and distribute code between the projects using libraries?
- advantage: no unseen changes will happen, as the libraries are readonly.
- disadvantages: no view links between view objects in different projects (Libraries) are possible! Also a lot of "load errors" can occure when updating a library, which have to be manually corrected in the dependent projects.
Are source code management systems a real help in this problem or do they just "manage" the problem? I already tried SCM and PVCS but was not very happy with the way of working. As JDeveloper is not "really easy" to use with theese tools.
So I would like to get any hints how other developers are dealing with this problem. Are you using BC4J with JDeveloper 9i in a team? Please tell me how do it and how you have partitioned your application.
Thanks in advance
Frank Brandstetter

Hi,
I'm not sure whether my answer is good enough for you, but it might help.
First of all, you have to use JDev 9.0.3, because 9.0.2 has big problems with associations/view links between objects in different projects.
Creating a view link between view objects in two packages for example changes the view objects in both packages. Also the project (.jpr) file or several "BC4J.xcfg" files are changed very often.This is not completely true in 9.0.3, as you may choose not to create an accessor in the imported object (and usually you don't need it neither!). As for bc4j.xcfg, there is a trick: define a "standard" database connection name to use all over your project! This will prevent modifying these files all the time!
Should I create a projects for each developer and distribute code between the projects using libraries?
- advantage: no unseen changes will happen, as the libraries are readonly.
- disadvantages: no view links between view objects in different projects (Libraries) are possible! Also a lot of "load errors" can occure when updating a library, which have to be manually corrected in the dependent projects.I would say, projects for each application component, which by chance will be managed by a single developer at a time.
As for the disadvantages, in 9.0.3 you are able to properly create associations and links using read-only objects. Hopefully, the release version will solve some generation inconsistencies...
Concerning the errors that occur when modifying a library, this might be balanced by the relative independence of the components... If you are able to develop following the dependency tree, you will not meet the problem very often.
Are source code management systems a real help in this problem or do they just "manage" the problem? I already tried SCM and PVCS but was not very happy with the way of working. As JDeveloper is not "really easy" to use with theese tools.Indeed, I do not have a SCMS really able to manage merges in the BC4J XML files... We rather try not to arrive there!
So I would like to get any hints how other developers are dealing with this problem. Are you using BC4J with JDeveloper 9i in a team? Please tell me how do it and how you have partitioned your application.I really hope that my hints will help.
Regards,
Adrian

HOWTO: Use BC4J With or Without DB Triggers

This HowTo describes how to use BC4J, database sequences and triggers
and what are the ramifications.
INTRODUCTION
BC4J has the ability to work with database sequences in order to obtain a
unique value when inserting records. BC4J also has the ability to
work either with a 'before insert' trigger which automatically creates
a new unique value for the primary key or without a trigger. When not using
a database trigger, BC4J also has the ability to obtain the sequence value
and set the primary key value.
Before discussing the ramifications of using one approach or the other, let's
show examples of how to use both approaches:
BC4J & sequences WITH a database trigger
and
BC4J & sequences WITHOUT a database trigger
HOWTO DEMONSTRATION STEPS
To illustrate both scenarios a simple database setup script is provided which
creates two tables:
CUSTOMER_NT which DOES NOT have a before insert trigger and
CUSTOMER_WT which DOES have a trigger.
Database Install Script:
<code>
drop trigger customer_insert_trigger;
drop table customer_wt;
drop table customer_nt;
drop sequence customer_wt_seq;
drop sequence customer_nt_seq;
create sequence customer_wt_seq start with 1;
create sequence customer_nt_seq start with 101;
create table customer_wt(
id number,
name varchar2(30),
constraint
customer_wt_pk
primary key (id)
create table customer_nt(
id number,
name varchar2(30),
constraint
customer_nt_pk
primary key (id)
prompt Inserting data...
insert into customer_wt (id, name)
values (customer_wt_seq.nextval, 'Mickey');
insert into customer_wt (id, name)
values (customer_wt_seq.nextval, 'Goofy');
insert into customer_nt (id, name)
values (customer_nt_seq.nextval, 'Daffy');
insert into customer_nt (id, name)
values (customer_nt_seq.nextval, 'Porky');
commit
prompt Creating trigger
create trigger customer_insert_trigger
before insert on customer_wt for each row
begin
select customer_wt_seq.nextval into :new.id from dual ;
end;
</code>
The next step is to create the DEFAULT Entity Objects and View Objects using
the Business Components Wizard.
USING BC4J WITH A DATABASE TRIGGER
Let's modify the entity object CustomerWt so it can use the database trigger.
Edit the entity object CustomerWt by right-clicking in the navigator.
Click on the 'Attribute Settings' tab and edit the ID attribute.
- Uncheck 'Mandatory'checkbox. This allows you to insert without a value for the primary key
- Check 'Refresh after Insert'. This obtains the value from the database generated by the trigger.
- Check 'Updateable While New'. Id is only updateable when inserting.
Click finish to complete the wizard. Save all and recompile the project.
Now let's test our work.
In the navigator right-click the application module and select 'Test..'. This will launch
BC4J's built in tester. Connect to the application.
In the tester double-click the CustomerWtView view object to run a test edit form.
After the edit form renders, navigate through the existing records using the navigate
buttons on the edit form. Now let's insert a record to execute the trigger.
click on the '+' button to insert a record. Enter a value in the 'Name' field and commit the change.
Observe that a new value has automatically been inserted into the Id field.
That's it! You have successfully used BC4J and a database trigger.
Now let's try it without a trigger..
USING BC4J WITHOUT A DATABASE TRIGGER
Now edit the entity object CustomerNT so it doesn't need a database trigger.
Similar to before, edit the entity object CustomerNt by right-clicking in the navigator.
Click on the 'Attribute Settings' tab and edit the ID attribute.
- Uncheck 'Mandatory'checkbox.
- Check 'Updateable While New'.
An additional step is also required. The Create method will have to be modified to extract
the value of the sequence.
In the Edit EntityObject Wizard click the Java tab and select Create method and click Finish.
The create method is generated in your Java fil e. In the Workspace view of the Navigator,
expand the CustomerNt entity object in the navigator. Double-click
CustomerNtImpl.java to open it in the Source Editor. In the Structure pane, double-click
create(AttributeList). Modify the Create method so it looks like this:
<code>
public void create(AttributeList attributeList) {
super.create(attributeList);
SequenceImpl s = new SequenceImpl("customer_nt_seq", getDBTransaction());
Integer next = (Integer)s.getData();
setId(new Number(next.intValue())); }
</code>
Save and compile the project.
Now test the ViewObject CustomerNtView using the tester as before.
In the edit form of CustomerNTView click on the '+' to insert a record. Observe that
just as before a new value has automatically been inserted in the ID field!
TO USE A DB TRIGGER OR NOT TO USE A DB TRIGGER.
Using a Database trigger sometimes preferable if you have non BC4J applications
also sharing the database. In this case it is still safest to just let the database
update it's own primary keys.
If you don't have any other non-BC4J applications sharing the database, then not using
a database trigger is perfectly acceptable and can have slightly better performance.
The important thing to remember is that the option is yours to use either approach!
null

Thank you for the reply Jonathon. I am using a ViewObject which
consist of several tables. I haven't tried the DB trigger
approach but just using the BC4 approach in overriding the
create method.
Here is the parent class create as a part of the
FasNameImpl.java file which does the job correctly.
public void create(AttributeList attributeList) {
super.create(attributeList);
SequenceImpl l_seq = new SequenceImpl
("SEQ_CUSTOMER_ID",getDBTransaction());
Integer l_next = (Integer)l_seq.getData();
setCustomerId(new Number(l_next.intValue()));
This is when I triedpassing the value to the child table. But I
can't figure it out. I think the link is working fine if I had a
ViewLink deployed but it doesn't look like it's doing the job
for ViewObject.
I am trying to call the childclass.method
(FasCustomer.setCustomerId(l_next);
But I am getting error.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions,
Kamran

How do I backup movies/clips to use in future projects?

After burning my first DVD & deleting the iMovie file, I was sad to discover that I could not just pop the DVD into my drive & access the material to use in future projects. (Is there a way to do do this that I don't know about?)
I'm guessing I need to burn the archived iMovie file onto multiple regular CDs (I have not burned anything that spans several CDs before). This is confusing me because the zipped file is hardly smaller than the original (Is there a better zip program than the one that comes with this system?) I threw away the wrapper for my blank CDs so I don't know how much they hold but I think it is something ridiculously small like 670MB and the iMovie file is 7GB. Is this the only way to save my movie/clips so that I can bring clips into a future movie?
1.8 GHz Power PC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 256 MB DDR SDRAM

welcome Novice to the  board ....
hmm, multidimensional question ...
DVD is end-of-the-road, not meant for further processing; there are tools, allowing to import DVD to iM, but that is a time-consuming and lossy (=losing pic quality) process, due to the deliver-format nature of DVDs.... search forum for "DVD import"
iM is by concept not meant to handle a clip in many projects (that can easily been accomplished with pro tools as FC(E), which offer "bins" for imports, offering the content to many sequences/projects).
there are workarounds, dragging clips from the internal files of an iM project to another... but, as said: you "fumble" the concept: import tape, edit, burn - done.
a video contains ~13GB of data per hour... and, video is allready highly compressed, no zipper can reduce that dramatically... and, you risk damage of files... yepp, a cd-r fits ~700MB = 3.5min of video......
recommended workflow:
* don't store iM projects on -r media (cd/dvd), but firewire connected harddrives..
* keep the tapes; import clips from tape into project; you can export single clips out of iM/import into another project, I wouldn't do that with "lots" of clips, importing the tape is... more convenient..
