Using 'System Default Short Format' in a formula

Hello
I have the situation where I need to reverse the string of a date, i.e. take a date 01/01/2011 and display 1102/10/10. But I want to use the system short date format for the date so that the date displays in the correct format for the culture.
Is there anyway to do this?
I should add that I don't think there is a way to do this but I thought I'd ask just in case anyone has any clever ideas!!
Thanks

Hi,
Is there any standard short date format for your report ? If so, we can do it through a formula else it is not possible.
Thanks,

Sending email using system default mail client

I'm working on a project right now, and I have no desire to develop a new mailing system. What would be very convienient for me is to have a call, opening the systems default mail client. Preferrably with some of the fields, like "to" and "Subject" being specifed by me.
I'm not really aware of how the JavaMail system works, but it seems to me like a backend API, able to transmit the mail, but not much else.
Could anyone give some hints on how to open the system default mailer?

I found this example here. Seems pretty good - just what I was looking for too!
from https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/Examples.html
Case# 6: Launch the system default mailer and send the constructed message with UI or without UI.

Use system default sound devices in Skype

Hi,
Basically, I would like Skype to automatically select whatever device is set as default here in the Playback options:
so that I don't have to manually change it in the Skype options each time I switch from headphones to speaker and vice versa, which I do a lot.
And the "Automatically adjust speaker settings" option doesn't seem to help.
Is there a way to do that on the latest version on Winodows 8.1?
Thanks in advance.

Microsoft removed the system default device from the options list.
This may help: http://alvarorojas.github.io/SkypeAudio/

Sending email using system default mail client on linux and Mac

Want to send e-mail using defalut mail client of Linux, Mac OSX, others.

Your question may be about mail, and your question may be about Java,
but the JavaMail library can't do what you're asking.
I know of no platform-independent way to do what you're asking.
You can write lots of platform-dependent code - to do it with Outlook
on Windows, to do it with AppleMail on MacOS, to do it with Thunderbird
on Linux - but I know of no way to do it with whatever mail client the
user has configured on any system.
Sorry.

Notification icons for safari, mail, reminders using system default

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Some system icons have disappeared in notifications. Annoying.

Boot in safe mode. This will cause certain caches maintained by the system to be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to boot than normal.
When the login screen appears, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

Default date should be displayed in Locale's date short format in Prompt

Dear BI Gurus,
I would like to take your attention to resolve one of date format issue which we are currently facing.
We want to display Current_Date in locale's date short format ( For US: MM/DD/YYYY and for UK: DD/MM/YYYY) in a dashboard prompt. Also we need to pass the the prompt value to the report filter through presentation variable.
For this we used logical sql to get the default value as select Times.time_id from sh when times.time_id= Current_Date. Once I click on the preview button it was showing in locale's date short format. But when we place the prmpt in dashboard, the default date was coming up in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format. But since calendar picker is giving value in locale's date short format (For US: MM/DD/YYYY and for UK: DD/MM/YYYY), there is an inconsistency in the display format. So could you please provide any workaround to make them consistent.
Thnaks,
Siva Naga Hari.

Hi Vinay,
Thanks for reply.
We are looking for default date display format in dashboard prompt. i.e For US locale, default date and calendar picker should be displayed in MM/DD/YYYY and for UK locale, default and Calendar picker should be displayed in DD/MM/YYYY.
We don't have any problem in report output for different locales. Also we don't need to create 2 seperate reports for different locales. If we set the data format to [FMT:dateShort], it will display as per the locale's date short format. Please provide workaround to display in dashboard prompt.
Thanks,
Siva Naga Hari.

Why does Firefox select the last used printer instead of the system default printer on startup?

In the course of using Firefox I selected my color printer to print in color then closed Firefox. When I reopened Firefox later on and sent something to the printer I had assumed it picked up the system default printer, a monochrome laserjet. It picked up the color printer instead. When I restart my other apps they automatically pick up the default printer. Why not Firefox?

Some web pages will pop up the print dialog automatically. In particular, pages that websites have specially formatted for printing may do this.
Are you restoring tabs that you previously opened, or starting up with your home page(s)? I suspect that one of them is generating the dialog. You could check by going to each one and reloading the page to see whether it is from that page.

Farm Remote App 2012 R : Your system administrator does not allow the use of default credentials to log on to Work Resources

Hi
Here is the situation:
I have a Farm with 3 servers W2012R2 in a Domain
Server1                           Server 2
Server3
RDSession Host            RDSession Host
RDSession Host
Connection Broker        Connection Broker (Passive)
RD Web Access
2 DNS Alias : - poc.mydomain.local (Use for the RD Web Access and points to Server1
                  -poccb.mydomain.local (Use for the Connection Broker and points to Server1)
I have setup the Connection broker in HA with Server2 as Passive Server : DNS Round Robin poccb.mydomain.local (Server1)
The certificate Manager has generated 2 CA certificates :
- 1 for the RD Web Acc (poc.mydomain.local
-1 for Connection Broker SSO and for publishing
I have created 1 Group Policy for these 3 servers and 1 GP for my client Windows 7 SP1.
Server GPO :
Computer/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Security
Always prompt for password upon connection=Disabled
Require use of specific security layer for remote (RDP) connections : SSL (TLS 1.0)
Set client connection encryption level : High Level
Client GPO

TERMSRV/POCCB.mydomain.local
I use no Gateway and in my collection,I have activated SSL (Like in my Server GPO)
I have now problem with SSO.
Connection with remote desktop client with server name = poccb.mydomain.local
Your system administrator does not allow you the use of default credentials to log on to the remote computer poccb.mydomain.local because its identity is not fully verified
If in my client GPO I add the physical name of the 3 servers, it works :
TERMSRV/Server1
TERMSRV/Server2
TERMSRV/Server3
Open RDP Files with server name = poccb.mydomain.local
if my connection broker connects me on Server1 , no problem
But If I arrive on Server2 & Server 3=
Your system administrator does not allow the use of default credentials to log on to Work Resources
I have searched on internet. No result for " to log on to Work Resources"
Any idea ? Thanks for your help

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Firstly check that, your user is using domain\username to enter the credential in the dialog box.
Now for a try, you can edit .rdp file with notepad and just place “enablecredsspsupport:i:0” line in it, save it an launch to check whether you are facing same issue.
As you are using windows 7 then upgrade to RDP 8.1. Also as you have already enter the FQDN name of server under “Allow delegating default credentials”. For a try please enable and configure for all the remaining settings as follow and check the result.
Start / Run / gpedit.msc / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System / Credentials Delegation, and make sure you have the following four options enabled and configured:
Allow Delegating Default Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication
Allow Delegating Default Credentials
Allow Delegating Saved Credentials
Allow Delegating Saved Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication
Finally, open a command prompt and use “gpupdate /force” command to apply the policy directly.
More information:
Remote desktop credentials did not work
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Hi, i wanted to resize my windows partion. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partion from the backup. Is this possible?

hi,
i wanted to resize my windows partition. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partition from the backup. Is this possible?

I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune. I have used both and they both work well.
You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition. I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want. You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition. It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive. When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you. Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out. CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider. I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal.

[svn] 3148: You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView.

Revision: 3148
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-09-08 15:01:15 -0700 (Mon, 08 Sep 2008)
Log Message:
You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView. It no longer has any formatting properties. It supports the entire set of Gumbo text format styles.
SkinnableComponent and Group now also support all these styles. However, skins such as ButtonSkin, TextInputSkin, and TextAreaSkin continue for now to specify instance styles on their TextBox, TextGraphic, and TextView, in order to give them a Gumbo look rather than a Halo look. So if you try setting, for example, the fontSize on the Application, it doesn't yet affect the text format of a Button, TextInput, TextArea, etc. unless you remove the instance style in the skin.

Nevermind guys - I did it using the 'rb_on.selected' command on the "on" radio button if the .txt file variable was "on", else the "off" radio button is selected.
Thanks for taking a look though!

Can Firefox be set to use the system default printer?

I would really like it of Firefox would use the system default printer set in the control panel, similar to the way office programs do. Is there no setting in about:config to do this? Or an add-on perhaps?

I really, really wish Firefox would change this, but I did find one thing.
In about:config I set:
print.print_printer to null
print.save_print_settings to false
Now it seems to use the system default. And it doesn't remember any changes with in a session, or from one session to the next. It always uses the system default printer.
I realize different people have different preferences. But on my system the default printer changes automatically depending on what wireless network I'm on at the moment. I wanted Firefox to reflect that.

CSS not overriding a System Default Column heading format

Hi
I have a column heading which format has been changed. The font and the background color. The best part of it is that it has been set to System Default and nobody knows who did it or how to turn it back to the out of the box style.
I thought that by creating a new skin and setting new css styles that it would clear or override this little mishap, but no.
Can anyone help us?

It's risky, but you can try changing the file
[catalog]/root/system/metadata/_datatype_formats
I've had to do that before with success, but backup first, try in a test environment etc. etc. etc.

Date Format in Zreport similar to the default date format set using su01.

Dear All,
            I have a requirement as to change the date format in Zreport as the one which is set in default date format for the user in Su01 tcode.
Ex.. If the user has set the default date format in SU01 as ' YYYY-MM-DD' , in report also, date should appear as '2009-12-24'.
Is there any code or Function Module to change the date format in report as in the default Date format?
Can u help me in this?
Bye.....
Cheers
Christina.

Try the following code.
select the format of current user from usr01 table.
    SELECT SINGLE datfm FROM usr01
    INTO w_datfm
    WHERE bname = sy-uname.
Format based upon the current user settings. put this total code inside one form for reusability.
    IF w_datfm = '1'.
      CONCATENATE w_date6(2) c_dot w_date4(2) c_dot w_date+0(4) INTO outtab-value.
      CONDENSE outtab-value NO-GAPS.
      CONCATENATE w_rundate6(4) w_rundate3(2) w_rundate+0(2) INTO w_date.

How can I tell that a default numeric format has been applied to a numeric limit step?

I am working on generating custom HTML code for our test systems in order to reduce the 'footprint' of the standard HTML entries for numeric limits, multiple-numeric limit steps etc....
For a Numeric Limit step, I can set the Numeric Format via the 'Limits' tab and select the pulldown arrow to select any format. Does TestStand actually save this information with the step so I could possibly use this later? I ask this because my modifications are within the 'ModifyReportEntry' Callback. When I am modifying the code to generate new HTML within this callback, I have no idea if the developer has selected a Numeric Format for a given step OR simply left it as DEFAULT.
To make matters more confusing, here is some more information....
When I pause the execution in the callback I notice the following:
Case 1: User has selected a Numeric Format ( this example I will say 3 digits of precision ) %.3f. for a numeric limit step.
Parameters.Result.Limits.Low = 10.000
Parameters.Result.Limits.High = 20.000
Parameters.Result.Numeric = 15.657
Notice the numeric data is ALREADY formatted! Great, I can simply use this to generate my custom HTML table for the numeric limit step.
Case 2 : User has left the numeric format to <Default> for the step.
Parameters.Result.Limits.Low = 10
Paramters.Result.Limits.High = 20
Parameters.Result.Numeric = 15.65713515155
Numeric data is NOT formatted. I know that TestStand will apply the Default Numeric Format that is configured in the report options when it writes the report but since I am doing a custom report I am stuck.
My question is how can I possibly tell that the data has already been formatted by TestStand in the ModifyReportEntry callback? Is there some flag that I could check or anything?
I do notice that the Parameters.ReportEntry string contains TestStand's default HTML code for the step and this is already properly formatted.. so as a possible workaround I could 'pick out' the data from this string but this is slow and time consuming.
Thanks
PH

PH,
You can find out if the numeric format has changed using the TestStand API. I use the following statement in my step's post-expression to find out the numeric format that TestStand uses for the step.
Step.Limits.Low.NumericFormat
If the string returned is an empty string, then it is the default format, otherwise, it's the one specified in the string.
Hope this helps.
