Variable .wim file (BackupFile) using %TaskSequence% not working for reference image

Hello,
I am trying to make a semi-automated solution for building reference image. The goal is to just select a task sequence and based on only that input create a reference image and store it on the MDT server as a unique named .wim file. I'm doing almost exactly
the same as all the pro's (Johan, Mikael, etc.). What I do is in the CustomSettings.ini I specify BackupFile to be %TaskSequenceID%.wim. My goal with that is to get a .wim file that is called REFWIN81CORENLX64.wim. Instead of that I get %TaskSequenceID%.wim.
I'm banging my head against the wall all day now and I have even build another environment to see if the problem occurs there too. It does..
I'm hoping that someone can tell me what Ido wrong.
Mathijs

Short Answer:
You have programmed a race condition into your system.
Long answer:
MDT will fill out the TaskSequenceID variable during the MDT LiteTouch Wizard.
You put the BackupShare variable in your CS.ini file:
BackupShare=\\MDT02\MDTBuildLab$\%TaskSequenceID%
However, the CS.ini was ALREADY processed *BEFORE* the MDT LiteTouch Wizard. and since TaskSequenceID was set to <BLANK> then Backupshare becomes the value above. ANy attempt to re-parse the cs.ini file will not process BackupShare because ZTIGather.wsf
will only pick up the value the first time.
Instead you should set the BackupShare variable *AFTER* the MDT Litetouch Wizard, if you want to leave it in your CS.ini file, then use Johan's method to re-parse the CS.ini file during the Task Sequence.

Delete all files in a directory not working for some files

I have a requirement like wants to delete all the files in a directory. (These files got generated through some other program.)
Problem is file.delete() is returning false for some of the files..
(donno the reason .. could be bcoz of file closing issues/locking issues.)
Looking for a solution where i can delete a file forcefully irrespective of whether the file is opened or not.
Thanks
Srini

are you on windows? if so, it's almost impossible to delete something another process has open.

KeyBindings using WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW not working for me !!

Hi,
I'm trying to capture "delete" key press event in JBtnPanel class below irrespective of where the current focus is but event is never sent to JBtnPanel class. Any idea where the bug might be ? I print a message to test whether the key is handled by JBtnPanel but NO message is printed. Here as shown towards the end of code snippet, the mainPanel contains childPanel and then the mainPanel is added to contentpane.
     import java.awt.*;
     import java.awt.event.*;
     import javax.swing.*;
     class JBtnPanel extends JPanel {
          JBtnPanel() {
               Action HandleDelete = new AbstractAction() {
                   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                        System.out.println("This is a test !!");
               InputMap input = this.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW);
               ActionMap action = this.getActionMap();
               input.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_DELETE, KeyEvent.CTRL_MASK),
                         "HandleDelete");
               action.put("HandleDelete", HandleDelete);
     class TextPanel extends JPanel {

         FontMetrics fim = g.getFontMetrics(fi);
         int cx = 75; int cy = 100;
         g.setFont(f);
         g.drawString("Hello, ", cx, cy);
         cx += fm.stringWidth("Hello, ");
         g.setFont(fi);
         g.drawString("World!", cx, cy);
       } //paintComponent

     } //class TextPanel
              test Class
     class test extends JFrame {
          public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
               int i = 0;
               ++i;
          public test(String s) {
          // Frame Parameters
          setTitle(s);
          setSize(300,200); // default size is 0,0
          setLocation(10,200); // default is 0,0 (top left corner)
          // Window Listeners
          addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
               System.exit(0);
            } //windowClosing
          }); //addWindowLister
          // Add Panels
          JBtnPanel childPanel = new JBtnPanel();
          childPanel.add(new JButton("Fine"));
          TextPanel mainPanel = new TextPanel();
          mainPanel.add(childPanel);
          Container contentPane = getContentPane();
          contentPane.add(mainPanel);
       } //constructor test
     } //class test

It works for me. Are you wanting "delete" or "control+delete"? Cuz you said delete, but your code says control+delete
input.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_DELETE, 0), "HandleDelete");

SharePoint 2010 Cache Not working for Publishing Images Document Library

Hi
I am using SharePoint 2010 Publishing Site and have enabled anonymous access.
I have enabled blob cache and object cache in the site.
While i was checking with fiddler those objects in style library and other document libraries are cached.
Whereas the images from the document library Publishing images is not cached; its returning 304 Not Modified status code.
Is there a way to include the Publishing images to be cacheable as well ?
Please advise
Ready for Action

Did you perform IISreset on all sharepoint server after enabling cache
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261797%28v=office.15%29.aspx
To use the page output cache and the associated cache profile settings, you must be using the Publishing feature on your site.
http://sharepointinterface.com/tag/caching/
Wiley went out to SharePoint, checked the article that he wrote, and saw that he did indeed use a series of dynamite sticks for an image. The page should have actually appeared as it does in the screenshot that is above and to the left. After a quick facepalm,
Wiley realized that he needed to make a change – and fast.
Wiley went out to the Publishing Images library for the site collection and uploaded a new version of the
newsarticleimage.jpg image file – one that contained a barrel of TNT instead of a bundle of dynamite. He then browsed to the article page and did a refresh.
Nothing changed.
Wiley hit F5 in his browser. Still nothing changed.
Over the course of the hour that followed, Wiley grew increasingly more bewildered and panicked as he tried in vain to get the new TNT barrel to show up on the article page. He uploaded the image several more times, closed and re-opened his browser, deleted
and then reloaded the image, re-published and re-approved the actual article page, and even got the administrators to flush the SharePoint BLOB Cache. None of the actions made a difference.
The Coyote Never Wins
Why didn’t any of Wiley’s efforts make a difference? Because what Wiley didn’t understand was that there was nothing he could do short of flushing his cache that would prompt the browser to re-request the updated image. The browser started using the cached
copy of the image after the first request Wiley made in the morning; i.e., the request to verify that the image on the page was incorrect as Fulfillment indicated. For another 24 hours (86400 seconds), the browser would continue to use the cached image.
Wiley’s image problem was just one of the potential issues that might surface as a result of the BLOB Cache change. It was also one of the more visible problems. In looking at the
path attribute of the BlobCache element, you might have noticed some of the other file types that got cached by default – file types with
js (JavaScript) and css (Cascading Style Sheets) extensions, for example. Any of those file types which were served from site collection lists and libraries would also be impacted by the “fetch once and use for 24 hours” behavior.

Recolor Image not working for multiple images

I applied themeing and created a Themeing file under Style Lib -> en-us->Themable->spriteTheming.css
spriteTheming.css is for recoloring image but it is only recoloring spcommon and none other files.
spriteTheming.css looks like below:
/* [RecolorImage(themeColor:"ContentAccent7",method:"Tinting")] */
background-image: url("/_layouts/15/images/spcommon.png?rev=23");
/* [RecolorImage(themeColor:"ContentAccent7",method:"Tinting")] */
background-image: url("/_layouts/15/1033/images/spstd2.gif");
/* [RecolorImage(themeColor:"ContentAccent7",method:"Tinting")] */
background-image: url("/_layouts/15/images/SharePointFoundation16.png?rev=23");
/* [RecolorImage(themeColor:"ContentAccent4",method:"Tinting")] */
background-image: url("/_layouts/15/1033/images/formatmap32x32.png?rev=23");
this only changes the color of spcommon.png but none of the other images gets the tint, anything I am doing wrong in this file?
I published it, changed the look but still it does not change anyting.
It creates the file here:
_catalogs/theme/Themed/
but does not display on browser
I refer to this spriteTheming.css in master page as


Any help is appreciated....

How do you save data into an excel file while myRIO is acquiring data? I tried saving it using "Write to file" but it doesn't work for some reason.

I am acquiring cosine wave and a pulse wave as input and I want to store their peak to peak values into an excel file. "Write to File" is not working for it. Is there any other vi which can be used for data logging?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Ssheoran,
Can you provide more detail when you say that the Write to File VI doesn't work? Is there an error given? Or can you just not find the file on your computer? Keep in mind using this file in a Real-Time VI on the myRIO will save files on the myRIO. You will then have to transfer to your PC. Please view the following video as a guide for saving files and transferring them to your computer: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuREWnD6Eno). Hope this helps.

What's This Help not working for one entry in each header file

I have a large RoboHelp project that I have imported into Version 8 from a previous version. Prior to the import into Version 8, all of the What's This Help in the project was working perfectly; now, post-import, I have a problem.
Firstly, some background information.
My project contains a large number of individual header (.H) files, one for each dialog within the software. These header files, which have been generated and provided by our developers, contain one entry for each field on the dialog to which the header file relates. The header files are all contained within a \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder (going from the root of my Help project).
Each header file has a corresponding text (.TXT) file. These text files contain entries that correspond to the entries in the relevant header file. The text files are also contained within the \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder.
Below is an example of the contents of a header file:
#define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST          16811
#define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE         16812
#define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE      16813
Below is the contents of the corresponding text file:
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST
Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply to the second level, and so on.
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE
Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
The What's This Help that was part of the original project still works perfectly. However, after upgrading the project to RoboHelp Version 8, I have had to update the project to reflect changes to the software. As part of this work, I have imported some new header files and updated some existing ones - and edited the corresponding text files accordingly.
The What's This Help that is covered by the header files that I have imported since the upgrade to RoboHelp Version 8 does not work correctly; in each case, the What's This Help does not work for whichever field appears at the top of the appropriate text file. The position of the entry in the corresponding header file does not make a difference.
If I manually edit a text file to move a different entry to the top then recompile the Help project, the What's This Help does not work for the field that now appears at the top of the text file - and the What's This Help for the field that used to appear at the top of the text file now works.
I've tried everything I can think of to fix this, but nothing has worked. It seems as if there is a problem in the way RoboHelp is compiling the header and text files.
If I use Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to decompile the CHM file, then view the contents of the resulting, decompiled text files, the affected files appear as follows:
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
.topic 16811
Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply
to the second level, and so on.
.topic 16813
Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
Note how the entry at the top - which relates to the What's This Help that doesn't work - appears differently to the other entries which do work. The name of the ID appears after ".topic" rather than the appropriate ID number.
Any help that anyone can provide me with would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Mark

Its working now. We just kept trying to reinstall the tools and restarting indesign. On the 4th time the buttons started working. I can't explain why it finally worked, just that it is working now.

Document library open in client application not working for img,pdf,txt files

In an office 365 sharepoint site i have enabled open in client applicartion for document library but it is not working for image/txt/pdf files for word and excel files it is working fine. I have even turned on the feature open document in client application
by default from site collection features also but there is no change.
Please advice.

Chaitanya

Hi Chaitanya,
The feature is currently designed to be used with HTTPS, and will not work as expected with the HTTP connection available on Office 365 for professionals and
small businesses sites.
To take advantage of this update, do the following steps:
Wait for the update to the SharePoint Online service, which is in progress now.
Upgrade Adobe Reader to the version 10.1.2 client.
Add your SharePoint Online root URL/domain to the Trusted Sites security zone in Internet Explorer1 (e.g.,
https://contoso.sharepoint.com).
Check the Keep me signed in box when you log in to a SharePoint Online site.
This
SharePoint Online update is currently
being rolled out worldwide along with several other new features.
Best regards.
Thanks

Are you using the Adjust Date and Time option or the Batch Change option? If it's the former try the latter. If you get the same results launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import the same video file and check to see if the same problem persists.

Portege R500 with XP: Offline files from server do not work

I have a strange problem with a brand new R500 with XP installed. Offline files does not work: I can copy files down from servers, but when I attempt to copy back, I get an error
"Offline Files (XXX on YYY): Access to ZZZ is denied on ZZZ."
where XXX is either a samba share or a normal windows share. I have all the permissions to access those files, and can edit them if I go online without synchronising offline changes.
I would ask this on the XP group, but I've +never+ seen this on any other laptops I've used (including Toshiba). Offline files to these servers still works for me on an older laptop (running an up to date XP), using the same account details and even using the roaming profile. Its also not related to any of the standard Offline files problems that are turned up on Microsoft's Knowledge Base.
What more can I test - this problem seems specific to this laptop, and if I can't use offline files, the machine is practically useless to me (modulo paying for, and then setting up an equivalent piece of software).
Should I try uninstalling TrueSuite for example?
Anthony

I have disabled the TrueSuite File Protection and now offline files work.
This would seem to be really important limitation to the software, and I can't find any supporting documentation about TrueSuite, nor any updates for it.

On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

IWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

iWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

There's no reason you can't go on using iWeb for this - with iWeb '08 you have to publish to a local folder (i.e. on your Mac) and then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) to your hosting service: and you have to make sure you enter the new URL in the Publish information or the feed won't work properly; this done, an iWeb podcast should work fine.
Of course there is still the problem that iWeb is not supported and sooner or later a system upgrade may break it. You could look at RapidWeaver: you can make podcasts with that, though the last time I looked into that - which was admittedly some time back - I didn't feel it was ideal for this. There are lots of other podcast creation programs or services around. WordPress is OK but it may be a bit of a steep learning curve: Libsyn is an online service that seems to work reliably. Blogger writes messy feeds but does usually work. Podcast Maker used to work well - I used it myself a few years back - but it rather looks as if it's gone moribund and it may not be reliable with Lion/Mountain Lion, so you would want to check into that.
