Using Extension.

Hi Experts,
Im new to Sourcing. Im workin on Extensions.
I have created an extension attribute and an extension collection.
Now when i enter values into these extensions.. where are the values stored and how can i use these values in query creation?
Pls be in detail and provide answers.
Thanks.
Shikha.

Hi Shikha
1. Go to system setup-> Configuration-> Extension Definition.
2. Open the extension that you have created.
3. In attributes, you shoule be able to see your field extension and collection extension
4. You should also be able to see Attribute Database Table on the extreme right. This is where all the values are stored in the database. You can make use of Parent_Object_ID field in this table to connect to Object ID in your master data table.

Problem using extension manager CS5 with command line

Hi All,
I had posted my question here : http://forums.adobe.com/message/4695419#4695419, but was advised to do so here as well..
I have a requirement to get the path of all the installed Extension Managers on any Windows system for the purpose of installing an extension.. I thought, there would be no problem in getting the path from the registry. There was no problem in Win XP, but the same does not work for Win 7.. I googled, and found alternate ways to get the path.
Here is the link : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/851359. I followed the instructions in this post, but failed to get this working for CS5 as mentioned in my previous thread... No problem for CS5.1 and CS6.. Why is that?
I want to get this working for CS5, CS5.1, CS6... How can I get the path of all the Extension Manager versions installed on a Windows system?
Please refer to the following screenshots to get a better understanding of my problem,
I created a jsx file named "Result.jsx", which I saved in my D drive, with the following code,
resultFile = new File("D:/result.log");
resultFile.open("w");
resultFile.write(BridgeTalk.__diagnostics__);
resultFile.close();
If I run this directly from ESTK CS5, there is no problem, and I get the result.log file. I tried to execute this script via command line as shown in the screenshot,
On executing the above, I got the following error,
What is going wrong?
Please help!

I am sorry for the poor documentation of Extension Manager which causes you so much trouble.
1. You can use BridgeTalk API to ask specific version of Extension Manager to do something. There is sample in packaging_extension.pdf about this. You don't need to know the installation path of Extension Manager. One thing to note is that the value of bt.target is version specific, i.e. "exman-5.0", "exman-5.5" send this message to different version of Extension Manager, so you can change this value to install/enable/disable/remove extensions using different version of Extension Manager. More detailed documentation of BridgeTalk can be found by clicking "Help" menu then clicking "Javascript Tools Guide CS5" in "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5".
2. Specific version of Extension Manager only manage extensions for corresponding version of product. You should use Extension Manager CS5 to install extensions for Photoshop CS5. The reason that the extension you installed for Photoshop CS5.1 using Extension Manager CS5.5 is displayed for Photoshop CS5 in Extension Manager CS5 is that two versions of Photoshop specified the same directory for Extension Manager to manage extensions. This is a defect and will cause some problems if multiple versions of Photoshop co-existed in one machine. But "to find previous (CS5) extension manager and to enable it" should work for you, I guess you use command line to enable it and specify wrong product name (see #3) so that it doesn't work.
3. When using command line, you should specify "product" attribute with the name displayed at the left panel of Extension Manager. So "Photoshop CS5 32" is correct. Remember to enclose it with double quote because of existence of space character.
4. As above mentioned, use display name of Photoshop, and call proper version of Extension Manager by BridgeTalk.

Problem Creating an ABAP Proxy based on a WSDL which uses extensions.

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an Asset in Salesforce using ABAP.
I can generate the ABAP Proxy OK, (from the SalesForce Enterprise WSDL I created) but the Asset definition does not exist.
I think my issue stems from the fact that the SalesForce WSDL uses extension elements for the definition of Asset.
I found the following notes on the extension element
516072 - XI Proxy Generation (not really for abap)
1386239 - Extention of complex type containing xsd:any (this is close but we are on SAP BASIS Release 70 701 not 702
Threads which talks about extension element not supported.
Proxy generation terminated: WSDL error ( EXTENSION not supported)
WSDL Error: Element 'extension' not
Threads which talks about how to modify the WSDL
Creating ABAP proxy from WSDL fails when <extension> present
Creating ABAP proxy from WSDL fails when <extension> present (but this is using xmlspy which I don't have and the instructions aren't clear to me)
What I'm really looking for is
1) Any Notes which I could apply in a basis 701 environment to enable creating abap proxies from wsdl with extension elements
2) Any tips on how to modify my WSDL to remove the extension elements yet still offer the same functionality (i.e. I need to use the create function with a sobject of Asset (which is currently defined via an extension.
3) Anyone who has integrated with SalesForce to create SalesForce objects (Accounts, Assets, etc) either tips on how to modify the WSDL or sample ABAP code as to how you got around the missing extension elements.
Regards,
John

Hi John,
couldn´t you post a section from your wsdl file which includes the type definition with an extension?
I think you could remove the extension an copy all elements from the type definition which is extended into the new type definition.
Here an example that you get the idea:
<xsd:complexType name="PERSON">
        <xsd:sequence>
           <xsd:element name="firstName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="lastName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="ageInYears" type="xsd:int"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="weightInLbs" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="heightInInches" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
        </xsd:sequence>
     </xsd:complexType>
     <xsd:complexType name="femalePerson">
        <xsd:complexContent>
           <xsd:extension base="typens:PERSON" >
           <xsd:element name="favoriteLipstick" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
           </xsd:extension>
        </xsd:complexContent>
     </xsd:complexType>
is going to be ->
<xsd:complexType name="PERSON">
        <xsd:sequence>
           <xsd:element name="firstName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="lastName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="ageInYears" type="xsd:int"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="weightInLbs" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="heightInInches" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
        </xsd:sequence>
     </xsd:complexType>
     <xsd:complexType name="femalePerson">
           <xsd:element name="firstName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="lastName" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="ageInYears" type="xsd:int"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="weightInLbs" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="heightInInches" type="xsd:float"></xsd:element>
           <xsd:element name="favoriteLipstick" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>

Using extensions without having write permission to ext directory

I'm trying to deploy a servlet and I need to use a Java extension so that I can get a dll required by one of my libraries into the Java path (the dll is packed in a jar). The problem, however, is that the user of the client machine is not guaranteed to have write permission to <jre>/lib/ext. Is there a way that I can specify an alternate directory for the jar to be placed in that the client user's permission will allow (e.g. Temporary Internet Files, Temp Directory, in the home directory, etc.)? Alternatively, is way to get the dll uploaded to the client machine without using extensions? Requiring the client user to manually install the file is not an option.
Thank you.

I solved this Problem myself!
It is possible to give permission on status transition. That was what i was searching for!
Thanks!

How to use EXTENSION to insert reason_code with BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST?

Hi, experts
I want to create a FI certification with the document type SA, but this type need to insert reansion code to be created. As there is no such field in the BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST. How can I input reason code? Could I use the exit structure of bapi EXTENSION1 or EXTENSION2?
Is there any sample code for that?
Thank you very much.

Is there a dynamic way to use extensions?

Ok, Ranch pals... I have a huge problem...
There's an app o' mine that is bundled in a jar file. It's an Applet, but that doesn't matter. What really matters is: the jar file uses an extension. An extension from Sun. To use that and install it automatically in the client machine I have to put that extension in the MANIFEST file for my app, like the code that follows:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Extension-List: jai_imageio
jai_imageio-Extension-Name: com.sun.media.imageio
jai_imageio-Specification-Version: 1.0-mr
jai_imageio-Implementation-Version: 1.0_01
jai_imageio-Implementation-Vendor-Id: com.sun
jai_imageio-Implementation-URL: http://someeirdaddress.com.any/anything/herecomeswhatisimportant/jai_imageio-windows-i586.jarThe thing is: my clients have to have this jar file (jai_imageio-windows-i586.jar) in their server, so it can be downloaded and installed (in my case by the Java Plug-in). But the address to this file (http://someeirdaddress.com.any/anything/herecomeswhatisimportant/jai_imageio-windows-i586.jar) has to be inside the MANIFEST file, which is terrible, because if I have 1 zillion clients I'll have to pack my jar 1 zillion times, changing the MANIFEST everytime.
So! The question that is reeeeally bothering me is: "is there a way to set that my app uses an extension from outside the MANIFEST file, say, from my code? If yes, how? If no, is there any auto-checking-and-installing solution for my problem?"

Because it is going to be used in an intranet and I can't know for sure that all machines will have access to the internet. So, the file must be in the local server, and they often have different addresses. I don't need the MANIFEST to be dynamic, but the mechanism to use extensions. But, if the only way of doing this is having a dynimic MANIFEST file, ok.

Various problems using extension manager with command line

Hello all,
We are installing our plugins to CS4/5/5.1 version of Adobe Photoshop as part of our installer and allow the users to select specific versions of Photoshop to install the panel for. There are a few old problems that I wanted to rant about for quite some while and now with a whole bunch of problems that the 5.1 update introduced I feel I just have to voice them. I will limit it to PC only as it seems to be the most troubled platform
#1 As we cannot install our plugin only by using the Extension Manager (simply because it cannot handle all we've to do upon the installation) we have to run commands from within the our installer, non-interactively, of course.
The interface to command line installation is xmancommand.exe (or "Extension manager (Version). exe" - not sure whether it makes any difference. ). Now the first question is how to find this executable on the target machine, from an installer. Users may specify different locations to install the Creative Suite and it certainly does NOT have to be C:\Program Files\...(or %PRGRAMFILES% in general). ATM we are using an odd place in the registry to to find the path to the most recent Extension Manager but first its sometimes overwritten by another installation and in any case it only shows ONE version of the extension manager which of course cannot handle other versions (see #2)
#2 Why the most recent version of Adobe Extension Manager (5.5) cannot install the extension for 5.0? Well, install it actually does, however its disabled for CS5 and it seems that the only way to enable it on this platform is to find previous (CS5) extension manager and to enable it. Oh, actually no - it doesn't work! The only way that I found here working is to find CS5 extension manager first, install the extension there and then use CS5.5 extension manager to enable it. Why do I need both utilities to manage my extensions?!
#3 The program is severely lacking in documentation AND it doesn't produce reasonable output messages, so determining what it can actually support is a puzzle. For example, why "Dreamweaver CS5" is a correct product name and "Photoshop CS5" is not (don't different teams talk to each other)? Ok, lets forget the consistency, but how do I make the utility output the list of all products it supports, in their magic token form that it will actually be understood if passed in in the command line? By trial and error? This menthod btw is also extremely painful: nany times when specifying wrong parameters the program doesn't provide any output and just shrugs "whatever, go figure it yourself"...
#4 Why the only way to enable/disable an extension in Photoshop seems to be using magic "productfamily" keyword that is not even listed on Adobe's help page for command line options (here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/WSB4845EDD-14E5-476a-B749-FF328830D1 4F.html).? E.g. "xmancommand.exe" -suppress -remove product=Photoshop extension=OurExtension" will ALWAYS fail with a lovely "'Photoshop is not supported by Extension Manager CS5.5." error; I've tried "PhotoshopCS5", "Photoshop CS5", "PhotoshopCS5.1" "Photoshop CS5.1", "Photoshop-12" (mentioned in examples section in http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/packaging_extension.pdf ) and a whole bunch of other permutations - none seem to work (see #3). Magic "productfamily=Photoshop" does work. But then it only aims the current version ("CS5.1") and I need it to work for CS5 (I'm not even mentioning CS4...."). Would there be any suggestions?
Really, the question is, how do we, third-party developers, are supposed to interact with the command-line utility without knowing where it is, what product names is capable to work with and without being able to target specific platforms (i86 vs x64 anyone (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/672537)? CS5 vs CS5.1 (above)?). I don't know what your test cases are for the command line tool (if any!), but this is simply insane, folks, simply insane.

If you mean slide off the nubby plug and use the long cord instead? Then yes.

Can you push install an extension without using Extension Manager?

I'm looking for a way to deploy a CS5 extension en mass using an unattended network push install utility (i.e. LanDesk). I have not been able to find any documentation yet on how to do this and our corporate customers do not want to send someone to every desktop to install or upgrade extensions manually using Extension Manager (in some cases they can have over 1000 end users spread across the country). Please help me locate some documentation on how to do this.
Thanks,

Extension Manager supports updatable extension. If your existing extension specifies update URL in its mxi file, when the new version of the extension is available, you can put the update information file to the URL. Extension Manager will detect the extension update during launch and notify users. After user clicks the "Update" button, the updated extension will be downloaded and installed.
Extension Manager also supports command line interface. You can put the extension to a shared loacation, and write a batch file using commands. Send the batch file to all customers to run.
More detailed information about updatable extension can be found in http://www.adobe.com/go/em_file_format .
About command line interface, please see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/WSB4845EDD-14E5-476a-B749-FF328830D1 4F.html .

Thanks; starting FireFox in safe mode and disabling all add-ons did solve the problem; however, a new problem has emerged. To re-enable the add-ons, you need to open up and use the add-ons control panel through FireFox. Any attempt to do so causes the FireFox add-on control page to close immediately.

How do I install an extension for Fireworks using Extension Manager?

When you install an extension using Extension Manager in Windows 7 or Vista, the following error message appears: "You do not have the appropriate permissions required to perform this operation. Contact your system administrator to obtain permission."
To solve this issue, run the Extension Manager as administrator and then install the extension.
(Right-click the Extension Manager and select Run as Administrator.)

It seems the SpringIDE comes with JBuilder is not compatible with OEPE.
Try download the OEPE plugins from
http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/ganymede/oepe-ganymede-11.1.1.1.1.200904131333.zip
and unzip it into the /dropins folder of the JBuilder Eclispe installation directory. Then restart with -clean command line option.

I have been using extensions with V8 for several weeks and with last Firefox update this morning all are gone and I can't get them going again!

I installed V8.0.1 several weeks ago (or what I thought was V8.0.1) and got Awesome Screenshot (A.S.). Although it was stated that AS was not compatible with V8.0.1 I installed it any way and it worked. I have been using it every day until this morning. Another Firefox update came down this morning. Although I clicked the “Update Later” box, it updated at that time anyway. (This has happened every time I received an update in the past and clicked “Update Later” box, but that another problem; not the issue today.) After today’s update completed and I restarted Firefox. I check the version and it still was V8.0.1. All of my extensions were gone. I followed the instruction for re-enabling. All of the extensions were marked “disabled”. Only two of them had “enable” buttons (Garmin Communicator and InvisibleHand), both of which I didn’t load nor use. All extensions had “Remove” buttons. Is there any way for me to get A.S. working, I use it often. If not, how about “Screengrab”. That’s better than nothing.
I am using Windows XP Professional SP3.
Thanks for your help.

There is a known issue where multiple instances of plugin container open if history or cookies are cleared. Are you, or some utility clearing firefox cookies or history, that could be the reason. This problem continues even if plugins are disabled in Firefox.
*Are you opening multiple instances of Flash Player ?
* Is the problem reproducible ? <br/> for instance does it always crash the plugin or cause it to hang if you use a particular site ?
If you get the FlashPlayer plugin crashing use the option to submit the crash reports, it is then possible to follow them up. It is possible to stop the plugincontainer opening, but that could result in a firefox crash. Of course the firefox crash can also send crash reports out, and that could be useful.
* see [[plugin crash reports]]
* [[what is plugin-container]]
* [[firefox crashes]]
There are some problems with FlashPlayer currently under investigation, and there may be other threads in the forum about problems. (e.g. Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs )
Sometimes using Firefox 3.6 is a workaround that helps with FlashPlayer problems, if you wish to experiment with that consider installing firefox Portable and using Firefox 3.6.23 (or soon 3.6.24) for tests with flash player, whilst keeping firefox 7 for day to day browsing.

How to open a Project content file using Extension SDK

I am writing an extension (Find a resource similar to "Ctrl+Shift+R" in Eclipse, "Ctrl+Shift+N" in IntelliJ) to find and open any type of resource in a project or Workspace.
After getting the File URI, what API should I need to use to open the file.
something like CodeEditor("URL").open?

Once you have got the URL you can use:
oracle.ide.editor.EditorManager.openDefaultEditorInFrame( url );
This will open the file pointed by the url in the default editor registered for that file type. See the javadoc for oracle.ide.editor.EditorManager for other open editor methods.
