Using DDE from server machine

Hi guys, need some help..
I have designed a forms application(10g). It sits on a server so it can be accessed by multiple users from different computers. I have a documents form which you can use to open documents using DDE as follows
AppID := DDE.App_Begin('C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\EXCEL.EXE '||:SCR_DOCUMENTS.doc_path, DDE.App_Mode_maximized);
But the document is being opened on the server and not on the client machine, cos obviously its referencing the excel.exe on the servers C drive.
How do i get this to work so it opens the document on the client machine?

It will not work on ur client machine as the EXCEL.EXE path may be different on client machine.
Microsoft changes the path of EXE files according to the version it releases.
It happens when u upgred existing MS office.
u will have to get the value of registry entry from the local machine for EXCEL.EXE
and then try again, hope it will work

How to download a file from server machine to client machine using jsp

Hi,
In my application, I have an excel file stored on my server machine. How can I download that excel file on to my client machine using jsp. Is there any other way I can open that file from my machine and save it in my machine using jsp/java?
Its an emergency for me to do this.
Can anyone provide me the full code to download a file from server machine as I don't have
time to browse through various sites.
thanks in advance,
Tiijnar

Please post your code using code tags (click on CODE above the text area, when posting)
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");Why octet-stream? Set the correct mime-type.
String disHeader = "Attachment; Filename=\"filename\"";The filename should just be the file's name. Not the complete path to the file! This will tell anyone where the file is located on the server. It's also inconvenient because by default,the browser will suggest it as the name for the download.
Your way of writing to the output stream is just plain wrong. See this snippet (picked from [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html])
        BufferedInputStream input = null;
        BufferedOutputStream output = null;
        try {
            // Open streams.
            input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
            output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
            // Write file contents to response.
            byte[] buffer = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
            int length;
            while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                output.write(buffer, 0, length);
            // Finalize task.
            output.flush();
        } finally {
            // Gently close streams.
            close(output);
            close(input);
        }

HT3231 Is it better to migrate to a new MacBook Pro using FireWire, from Time Machine, or over ethernet?

Hello,
Is it better to migrate to a new MacBook Pro (non Retina display) using FireWire, from Time Machine, or over ethernet? The older Mac is a MacBook (Intel, 2007 vintage). The Time Machine backup is to a Western Digital external drive with FireWire & USB ports.
Thanks!
Chips

Thanks for the helpful reply.
After posting, I read & researched further. We're going to be limited by the hardware – the MacBook & external drive both have FireWire 400, & we don't have a 400 to 800 cable or adapter. So we'll connect by ethernet, & be patient that it make take some time.
I have to assume that Migration Assistant will be just as comprehensive regardless of the connection method / protocol.
Best!

To save a word/xls document from server machine to client

Hi Folks,
I am facing a problem in storing a document from server to client machine.
I have a document in Oracle database BLOB column and i am able to read and open that document in client browser. But it is stored in the server machine when accessing from the client browser it is opening as a read only copy.
I want to open it as editable copy in client machine and once it is edited i want to save back to the databse. But it can be stored in server or client machine without promting to the user.
Any one can help me?
Senthil

Hi, I am wondering whether this will take time for a document/image which is about 3, 4 MB??? Cos customer has to scan documents one by one and the saving of the file in the DB and then using that to transfer to MSMQ (which is the requirement) should take less time than scanning 2 documents.

I just connect portal from server machine. Help me!

Please, can someone help me?
I've instaled the Oracle portal 3.0.9.8.0 in the Oracle 8.1.7.
From the server machine I can access the Portal, but if I try from a
client machine, a error happens.
If I try only the server machine's name, the Oracle Http Server shows up,
but if I try to do machinename/pls, a error happens and with the server
machine works.
Do someone know what's going wrong? Do I need to configure somthing at the
client machine?
And what about the DAD? Whath do I need to configure?
Thaks for helping,

Pls ignore the previous one and refer to this one, its not identifying greater than & Smaller than sign, I have replaced them with square brackets ([]).
Tiago,
Where is your midtier, I mean where is your Http Server(Apache) is running? Is it running on the same machine where database is running or it is running on a different machine?? In either cases it doesn't actually matter, unless your are accessing the portal correctly.
You should be accessing the portal in the following manner (From any machine, be it server or client).
http://[midtier-machinename]:[Port]/pls/[DAD]
[midtier-machinename]: The machine on which your Apache is running.
[Port]: Port on which your Apache is running. (You can check it in your your setupinfo.txt file, which gets created when you install 9iAS).
[DAD]: DAD, through which you identify your portal instance. You can check it by giving the following url
http://[midtier-machinename]:[Port]/pls/bootstrap/admin_/dadentries.htm
Just double check your settings on the basis of above mentioned guidelines. Hope it should work.

Import source from server machine

hi,
i want to import source data into my localhost system.
source data is residing in server system in BD2 database;
i want to design mapping using these source.
so i want to know how we can import data from server system data
and how we can use these data in mapping
plz tell me procedure
Edited by: user10373357 on Nov 3, 2008 10:49 PM

LEARN OWB !
1. I havent heard of BD2 i only know DB2(if thats what you are referring to).
2. Create a repository under NON-ORacle ==> DB2 in design center.
3. create setup locations in connection explorer(under non-oracle).
4. Import the metadata.
5. create mappings.
6. create a control centre location
7. deploy mappings
8. execute your mappings(if required use schedules and process flows)..

Using Time Machine from another machine to restore Library Folders

I am using TM from another machine, (which has died) to restore folders onto a working system, some of the folders i need are in the User Library, but how do i display the User Library in TM?
Thank You
John

Hello,
I have now noticed that the cmd+shift+g method works OK if you are doing a standard restore from the TM on the current system, but does not work when using a TM from another machine. I do not know enough about Unix file structures to specify the correct file under these circumstances, any help woudl be grateful
Thanks

Cannot Find Photos on External Hard Drive Using iPhoto and Time Machine

Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting on this forum and am really hoping for some help! I have a 2006 PowerBook G4 that is running iPhoto and Time Machine, and I've used an external hard drive to backup everything on the computer via Time Machine. When I plug the external hard drive into my newer 2010 MacBook Pro, I follow this path to try to access the photos:
     External Hard Drive > Backups.backupd > PowerBook G4 12" > Latest > Macintosh HD > Users > Me > Pictures > iPhoto Library
When I click "iPhoto Library", I get the following message:
     "The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library."
So, I do as the error message says and I hold down the "option" key and iPhoto launches and says:
     What Photo Library do you want iPhoto to use?
In this case, I choose "Other Library..." and again follow this path:
     External Hard Drive > Backups.backupd > PowerBook G4 12" > Latest > Macintosh HD > Users > Me > Pictures > iPhoto Library
When I choose this, I again get the following message:
     The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library.
So as you can see, I'm feeling a bit like I'm chasing my tail in trying to open these photos. I did follow another user's advice and confirm that all photos are infact on the hard drive by using the "control" button and clicking "iPhoto Library" under the pictures folder, and choosing "Show Package Contents". All looks to be in tact in the "originals" folder when showing package contents, however, I just can't find a way to actually view the photos in iPhoto. I really don't want to import all the photos to my current MacBook Pro, because I'd like them to live on the external hard drive (which is formatted for Macs) so that I can browse the photos on the external drive, rather than housing it on my computer.
One other thing I tried was opening iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and going to File > Browse Backups... which essentially opens Time Machine and shows me the photos on my MacBook Pro but gives me no option to view them from my External Hard Drive.
Any super users out there willing to lend me some help?
Thanks!

The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library.
You can have an iPhoto library on an external drive and use it from different machines
and you can have a Time Machine backup
The two can not be on the same volume - and iPhoto can not access the TM backup - it must be restored to use it

Using Font form server

Hi there, i'd like to know about using font form server, like
fontforflash.com , i think
they are using font from server! how to make some font its
available to every body that visit my site ? i made some simple
input text using Flash MX 2004, that the result appear at my
Dynamic text, for sample at input text i'm using
Verdana Font at dynamic text i'm using
FFF Galaxy (from fontforflash.com), when i'm uploading to
server, i'm also uploading
FFF Galaxy, but the result is
FFF Galaxy change to default font! please help me !
Thanks!

Flash can't really do external fonts. For your dynamic field,
click the
Embed button and embed the characters you need. I normally do
upper case,
lower case, numerals and punctuation.

How do I use pots on my client machine to change values, from the field, on my server machine and all other client machines?

I am using Lookout 4.5, build 12, and I am having a problem concerning pots. I have data tables created for the different size sewer stations my system monitors. For each station, there are setpoints for starting and stopping of the pumps. I want to be able to change the setpoints for a station on the client file using a pot and have it change on all other machines running Lookout. I did this in 3.8 using DDE, but I don't want to use DDE anymore.
I created a pot on the client file and URL'ed it to a pot on the server. On the server I created a table with a generic member "A" named "Lead Setp" and then created a member "A1" named
"C5_1LeadSetp" then a member "A2" named "C3_1LeadSetp" and so on....
In this table I connected the generic member "A" to the Pot I created on the server, and I connected A1 to its corresponding setpoint signal coming in from the field.
On the client file I connected (in the table similar to the one on the server but with all signals for the station) the "A1" member to the setpoint signal coming in from the field, and I connected the "A" member to the Pot I created on the client file which is URL'ed to the pot on the server file.
But, when I change the value of the pot on the client file, only the pot on the server and the "A" member in the table on the server change to the value of the pot on the client. The "A1" member whose screen I am changing the values from on the client does not change! This is the last thing I have to do and my file will be completely converted to 4.0. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for any responses..

Jason Phillips

Hi Jason,
If I understood your task correctly, you want to change the Setpoints on the Server DataTable using Pots from different clients. And also reflect these changes on the clients locally.
You correctly remoted the Pots on the Clients to the corresponding Pots on the Server. However, you do not need tables on your clients. All you need is Expressions on each client to the particular cell of the Clients.
So, to summarize: On the Server, the Pots write to the DataTable. And since the Pots on the Clients are remoted to these Pots on the Server, you can affect any change using these Pots. Because of the common remote source (Server Pots, i.e.) all of these Pots will always be in sync. Finally, to get the Setpoints on the Clients, just insert Expressio
ns to the Server's DataTable.
I am attaching a simple example (exmpl.zip) which does this. There are three processes -- My_Server, My_Client1, and My_Client2. I had them setup on the same machine so the paths are all process relative, but you can always change those to computer relative or absolute and move the client processes to diff machines.
Hope this helps.
Rgds,
Khalid

How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: Oracle_Home is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
Oracle_Home with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
C:\webutile is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
cd C:\webutile
copy jacob.jar Oracle_Home\forms\java\.
copy jacob.dll Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add Oracle_Home\jdk\bin to the PATH:
set PATH=Oracle_Home\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\sign_webutil Oracle_Home\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
Oracle_Home\forms\webutil\sign_webutil Oracle_Home\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open Oracle_Home\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
CONNECT webutil/webutil@rcci
@Oracle_Home\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
-- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\default.env, and append Oracle_Home\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\formsweb.cfg insde [default] add :
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
archive=frmall.jar
also add :
[webutil]
WebUtilLogging=off
WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal
WebUtilErrorMode=Alert
WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval=5
WebUtilTrustInternal=true
WebUtilMaxTransferSize=16384
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljini.htm
baseHTMLjpi=webutiljpi.htm
baseHTML=webutilbase.htm
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar
WebUtilArchive=frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar,f90all.jar
archive=frmwebutil.jar,f90all.jar
lookAndFeel=oracle
7) Modify Oracle_Home\forms\server\webutil.cfg and add :
transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
8) Start the OC4J instance
9) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
10) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
11) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
12) Run your form.

I would like to use DDE to send data from a Lookout Server to an Excel

Hello National Instruments,
I would like to use DDE to send data from a Lookout Server to an Excel
Spreadsheet.
I have Lookout 6.1 on a server connected to 4 client workstations
The operating system on the server is Windows Server 2003 R2; Standard Edition;
Service Pack 2
I have opened DDE Share but after filing in Share Name; Static Application
Name; Static Topic Name
I get a message, "Can't bind to DSDM service"
I also get this message when I press add a Share
What are the steps to setting up this type of communications link?
Thanks,
David Lopez
Scada Functional Analyst

Ryan,
I have followed the steps on the Knowledge Base "How do I use DDE To Send Data Across the Network To Excel From Lookout?" but what I am seeing is that the computer with excel (Computer B)hangs up displaying an hour glass continuously leaving me no option but to go into task manager to stop excel. It appears to me that the dde share is not working properly on my windows xp where lookout resides or I do not have a certain service turned on. I do have the DDE services turned on both computers. I have my computer set up as computer A with Lookout and Process1 as the process with a pot set up as pot1. On my computer (Computer A) I also have the dde share set up per the KB example.
On computer B I have the dde services turned on and I am typing the following into an excel worksheet Cell ='\\TAG23232\NDDE$'|'Process1$'!Pot1
TAG 23232 is Computer A's Name
Do you have any suggestions???
