Using iCal event triggers to launch application

We've been trying to use iCal to autolaunch render clients for Cinema 4D. So we've set it up to trigger at the time of the event (6pm) and launch the C4D network render client. What is bizarre is that it works perfectly for about a week.... and then it stops launching the app at the event. We still get iCal alerts on our iPhones saying that the 6pm Render Client is launching. But it ceases to launch. If we delete the event (and future events) and recreate it... it works again for about a week. Then it goes back to the same problem of not launching. This issue exists on all our machines (dozen or so) and has been an issue in both 10.9.x and 10.10.x. We weren't using this method prior to Mavericks. It appears to be a bug in iCal. Anyone else seen this and possibly have a workaround?

Maybe the following can help: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip127.html?

Using an iCal Event to Close an Application

i want to schedule the closing of an application. My internet provider gives me unlimited download at night so i want to do my downloading between certain hours every day. I have scheduld itunes to open and at 2300 each night but i then want it to close at 0800 the next day. Apart from gliches in Mavericks getting the schedule to start the task there appears no way to close an app using iCal.
Any suggestions?

Open the AppleScript editor in Applications>Utilities. Copy the following into it
tell application "iTunes" to quit
Save it as a script and place it somewhere convenient.
Set your event in iCal and set an alarm, choosing 'Run script'. Select the script you just created. (I assume all this is the same in Mavericks as earlier systems). However if iTunes is in the process of downloading at the time you will get a warning message so you should probably add the following:
delay (1)
tell application "System Events"
tell application "iTunes" to activate
keystroke return
end tell
I should make sure that the Finder was frontmost when starting iTunes so that a spurious return won't matter.

Event triggers transaction launch

Hi All,
I had searched for launching of a transaction at the trigger of a event but of no avail. So i finally decided to post a new thread.
My requirement is,
I have a button in the UI on the click of which GUI(screen) related to the transaction of the CRM system to be displayed.e.g., Let us consider "CRMD_ORDER" is the transaction.
Other requirement is similar to the earlier one, except that the transaction is that of another system, for e.g. a transaction belonging to BI system at the trigger of another button.
I kindly request for a early reply on this.Do let me know if you need further details.

Hi Gayathri,
Where and what code u used.is it like this.
METHOD EN_ONCONFIRM.
data: lr_navigation type ref to if_crm_ui_navigation_service.
standard SAP code
lr_navigation = cl_crm_ui_navigation_service=>get_instance( me ).
CHECK lr_navigation IS BOUND.
lr_navigation->navigate( iv_link_id = 'Z_CRMD_ORDER' ).
ENDMETHOD.
check one more thing if in event handler any other outbound plugin has been called please comment it out.for example
*gr_window->call_outbound_plug( 'detailToEmpty' ).
it will navigate to DetailToEmpty outbound plugin. If somthing like this is there please comment that code also.
Regards

Changing iCal event fonts

I am using iCal events to populate a calendar. I am also using US holidays. Is there an easy way to set the iCal events to a different font/size/boldness? I have a lot of events, and when they are mixed in with the holidays it is hard to distinguish between the two.
Thanks for any assistance you might give.

GateGuy:
The only way I've been able to mix fonts is to create the text (font, size, color and justification) in another a application and then cut and paste.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Event triggers from HANA to sharepoint

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a trigger in HANA that on creation of a new row in a particular table, creates an event that goes to a sharepoint portal and triggers a mail and a push notification to MS BI mobile users?
Please let me know how that would work.
Thanks,
Shyam

Hi,
I have the same req, we did like below the problem is resolved.
1. Craete Event in SM62 in BW , Event name = ECCTOBW.
2. Assign that Event in BW and give Parameter name = ECCTOBW_P. (Param is directly give in BW)
(In Case of dataloads, create Process chain and give thios Event and Parameter in Start-->Event) and Activate and Exexute the Processc Chain.
3. Then Run the below program in ECC then check your processc hain, it will trigger.
This is the way how to use the Events triggers in different system.
REPORT ytestrd1tobd1.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE'
DESTINATION 'BWCLNT' ------------> Here give your BW system ID
EXPORTING
    i_eventid              = 'ECCTOBW'
    i_eventparm            = 'ECCTOBW_P1'
EXCEPTIONS
    bad_eventid            = 1
    eventid_does_not_exist = 2
    eventid_missing        = 3
    raise_failed           = 4
    OTHERS                 = 5.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
          WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.

Using multiple events structure inside state machine to control the Tab

Hi y'all,
Anne here.I have a Tab indicator in my front panel and I want to be able to control the flow of my program based on what controls I clicked inside the tab. I am using a state machine architecture and inside every state, I use an event structure to check for user interaction to determine the next state and what tab page is going to be displayed next. This means that I am actually using multiple event structures in my application and I use them in just one while loop, but just that they are not running in parallel since I am only using "one event structure per state" which means that only one event structure is running at one time. My questions is, programming technique wise, am I doing it correctly? So far, I am not facing any problem (I am still in the early stage of the project) but I want to check with you all first on your opinion regarding this architecture. Will there be any issue on using multiple event structures in a vi? Since I will be using a tab, and the controls available in the tab will be the controls that will control my event structure for that state, by right, there should be no issue. Am I correct to assume this? Is there any limit on the use of event structures? I have attached here a simple sample of the architecture that I am talking about for your reference. I have attached a 2010 version and a 8.6 version. Let me know what you think or any opinions that you may have.
Hoping to hear from you soon! Thanks so much in advance!
Cheers!
Anne

Hi jak888,
I decided to use tabs cause I don't want to have subvi pop ups every time i need to perform the process in the state and show an update in the front panel. This is actually going to be more of an ATE where you will have to choose first whether the one using is the operator or the engineer. If the operator is logged in, she will proceed to choose what test to run (this state will have its own event structure). This part, I don't want a pop up, so what happens is that from Login page, if the user logs in as operator, the tab will automatically switch to the Test Selection page. After selecting the test, it will proceed to Start Test state and the tab will show the Result Summary page. If the user logs in as engineer, then a totally different tab will be automatically shown next and so on. By doing this, I will be able to show an update on the front panel objects without having the subvis pop up. I will also just need to use the call reference functions to call my subvis, making my Main VI more generic. The tab Page header will be hidden so the operator will actually not see that there is a tab and that there are a lot of controls and indicators cause they are hidden in the tabs and that page will only be shown based on what they selected from the main tab.
I appreciate your thoughts! thanks so much!

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Create new iCal event from contents of mail uses wrong date

I received an email today with an appointment using the date "6/3/2010 at 4PM". Being from the US, it is obvious to me that this meeting should occur on June 3, 2010, but when I attempt to create a new iCal event with this date it creates the event on March 6, 2010. Even more confusing is that when I choose "Show this date in iCal" it highlights March 7, 2010!
My question is:
Shouldn't the system default to a month/day/year date preference everywhere when I've selected US English in the internationalization preferences pane?

have a very similar question: is there somewhere an application where I can, when receiving an email, put it into iCal so that I am reminded about it in a week or something?

I am using iCal 8.0 and I don't know how to include event times along side the event in the monthly view. help. :)

I am using iCal Version 8.0 (2026)
I have read through responses to a similar question as I am posing, but the recommendations that I've found don't seem to be in the iCal preferences/ general tab.
Two great solutions that don't seem to be in my preferences winder are:
1. A respondent recommended checking the box 'show event times' on the general/ preferences tab, but that box does not appear in my window
2. A second response i found recommended that 'I check box for 'Show time in Month view.' in Under General/ preferences, but that option is not appear either.
Any other thoughts please

The grouped yellow pages are a Section (Chapter).
If you have logical divisions within your documents that fall on page boundaries, do the sensible thing and actually divide them with:
Menu > Insert > Section Break
…where you want the separation. Both before and after.
Moving or removing individual pages is like ripping pages out of a book and/or reshuffling them. It makes sense to relocate or remove entire sections, which are pages connected by their content, but not the individual pages within those that have continuing text both before and after them.

Using iCal on iPhone in Day view - How can I move divider to give more space to all-day events?

I am using iCal on an iPhone
I would like to move the divider that seperates all-day events from the timed events. I would like to view with more room for all-day events and less room for timed events. How can I do this?

If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

Using Automator to reply to everyone on an iCal event

Hi all,
I regularly need to email everyone who is invited to a meeting in an iCal event. The manual way of doing this is:
Double-click the event with all the invitees in iCal
Click in the invitee field
Command + A (select all)
Command + C (copy)
Create a new email and click in the "To" field and do a command + V (paste)
Same flow but for the iCal event subject
How does one go about this in Automator or AppleScript?
Yours,
Jim

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help, Bruce

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help, Bruce

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Using 'Launch Application' through SDK

Hi,
I want to know if there exists a way of using the 'Launch Application' feature through SDK other than using something like System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("***.exe").
Thanks,
Binita

Hi Binita,
You can use the following code:
oApplication.ActivateMenuItem("523")
oForm = oApplication.Forms.ActiveForm
If oForm.TypeEx = "20100" Then
oForm.Items.Item("3").Specific.Columns.Item("0").Cells.Item(1).Click() '// replace 1 with whatever row you want
oForm.Items.Item("1").Click()
End If

Although this isn't currently possible in the iOS Calendar app, go to iCloud.com (not on your iPad, but on a computer browser like Safari or Firefox) and log in. There, you can add an event in Calendar and have the options to make it repeat however you want.
