Which file will identify Leopard version number?

Is there a file in the System folder which gives away the system version number?
I need to find out which version of Leopard (10.5.1 or 10.5.2) is installed on a mounted (but not booted) volume so can't just go to About This Mac. I can access all the System files but I can't find one which gives a definitive clue - unless perhaps it's the Finder (which has the futuristic version number of 10.5.3). TIA.

If you open a Terminal and look in the root directory you will see a file, "mach_kernel" which I believe represents the OS version by date
If you cd to the root directory and enter the Terminal command:
ls -lT mach_kernel
(that's the letter l)
You should get the date of the kernel, which, on my 10.5.2 machine is dated Feb 5 2008
10.5.2 was released on Feb 11, so the final date may well be Feb 5.

OpenScript: Which files to put under Version Control?

Hi,
According to JB's description of [how to enable Subversion|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10677356] for OpenScript, I have now an active version control.
The next question is now: which files I should put under version control? Obviously, the script.java is a good decision, but there are many more, such as java, properties, but also specific folders like "recorded data" and "results" folder.
Which once I should put under version control, any recommendation?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Volker

Thanks for your replies,
it's nice to know that I was going the right way.. :)
But how do you handle these little bugs, that I mentioned in my first message? Do you check-out all files in the project before work? Or they are TeamSystem - specific?
Best wishes, Serg.

Which files will transfer from 2008 iMac to new MB Pro?

I want to migrate my data from my iMac to a new MB Pro. Will my browsers, bookmarks, etc. transfer? Do I need to be selective or can I move everything? If older versions of software (i.e. ilife) are on the iMac, will they override the new pre-installed version?
Thanks,
Ed

You can transfer data files. Applications/programs should be reinstalled if they are compatible with your new computer/operating system.

Which files will be download to local by client when Swing+BC as three tier

i have read adfjclientbcwebstart.pdf . when i read page 25,there is a sentence
In contrast to the local deployment explained earlier, the three-tier deployment
only loads the ADF JClient-specific application files to the user desktop, thus
reducing the overall download size.
i notice there are three files in my application server after i deployed ADF BC as Session EJB. They are ModelEJB.jar,ModelEjbCommon.jar and ModelEjbMT.jar.
i want to know who is ADF JClient-specific application files and will be downloaded to client.
thanks a lot.

Think about the process:
Log into SharePoint as test user.
List is empty due to permissions.
Click the Export to Excel button.
??? Who's account is running Excel ???
I'm betting you are still logged into your PC as yourself, not the test user. Excel is running with your permissions when it makes the data connection back to SharePoint, not the test user's permissions.
Also, Export to Excel does not use Excel Services. It uses an HTTP request and as such uses the permissions of the caller (the local PC Excel user, or if hand typed into a browser, the SharePoint logged in user). If hand typed it would look something like
this:
http://sharepoint/sites/Training/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=%7B48580CAC%2D58CF%2D4C20%2D8CDE%2DD93B56699818%7D&View=%7B4242B9E9%2D665C%2D46FD%2DBADC%2D72FB8AB63ADA%7D&CacheControl=1
Of course you would have to replace the GUID with the GUID of your list and view.
There's a lot of interesting things you can do with owssvr.dll:
Quick views of the XML used in SharePoint for lists
An alternate to web service calls for client side coding (InfoPath,AJAX, Silverlight, JQuery, etc)
Sometimes better than a web service call as you can reference a list's view to get a filtered list, something would usually require a CAML query. Cmd=Display&List={listGUID}&View=viewname&XMLDATA=TRUE

EoX-Offline-Files -- Download (need for Version-Number or Timestamp)

Hi all,
with downloading the offline EoX-Files from CCO
[ Link: http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/ImageList.x?relVer=4.1.1&mdfid=282635175&sftType=CiscoWorks+Resource+Manager+Essentials+Patches&optPlat=Solaris&nodecount=2&edesignator=null&modelName=CiscoWorks+Resource+Manager+Essentials+4.3&treeMdfId=268439477&treeName=Network+Management&modifmdfid=&imname=&hybrid=Y&imst=N&lr=Y]
it is not possible to determine the timestamp of zip-file creation (actual release date is 02/MAR/2010, pretty old for creating actual
EoX-Reports).
Are the any plans to implement versioning/indexing to better see creation date?
Thanks for any feedback
Lothar

Hi Joe,
thanks for the update.
Would it be possible for you (or the responsible web-admin), with less efford, to provide the zip-file creation date
on the download site.
Just to quick see if there are now ones are available.
Thanks in advance

Manually changing a document version number when importing an existing document

Hello.
Like a lot of people, we are starting to make use of Sharepoint Online as part of an Office 365 subscription.
One of the things we want to do is move a bunch of version controlled documents from their current location on a traditional network file share into a Sharepoint Document library, and then use approval and version history to control and track changes.
At the moment these are stored with the version number as part of the file name, so we have something like "Company car policy - version 6.docx". When there's a new version, the old one is moved to an archive folder and a new copy is saved as "Version
7.docx" which is outdated and far from ideal.
I've created my library, tested that approvals work, and have found instructions on how to use a workflow to notify people that changes have been made. That's all fine, but if I upload an existing document into the library it will start the version number
at 0.1 or 1.0 depending on whether I add it as a draft or final.
What I need to be able to do is to manually change the version number to match our existing system without having someone sit there checking a document in and out. Some of them have version numbers in the 20s so this would be a huge waste of time.
I can't believe I'm the first person to have this problem - can anyone help me please?

You are not the only one, that is for sure!
The only way (that I'm aware of and is easy to accomplish) to achieve this is the following:
* Upload your history v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6. And then it is really in sync with your current / old version numbers.
* just upload the new / latest file and check out/check in the file x times so the version number will increase every check in.
I know that this sounds weird/funny time consuming. Without 3th party tooling I don't see any other solution.
With 3th party tooling then you can perform those actions (basicaly the same actions) more quick and easy, however you need to get yourself comfortable which such tooling. One of the tools (no I'm not a sales agent or whatsover) that I know can perform metadata
changes is ShareGate. However in PowerShell you can perform also a lot of magic and without ad doubt there are a lot of migrating tools (AvePoint, Tzunami, etc) that can also "mimick" those manual steps.
My best suggestion is:
* If you need to keep the old versions upload them all one by one (if it is not too time consuming)
Otherwise
* create a archive for old versions and start in SharePoint with version 1 which is exactly the same as the latest non-SharePoint version and store that archive in a separate document library/folder/site. (only keep old versions if there is a reall need
/business case or legal case to do that.)
Kind regards,

Which file in Omni.ja contains the version number in HELP | ABOUT

We are using Firefox in a corporate locked down environment.
we have made a number of changes to files in the OMNI.JA file to configure Firefox accordingly.
We now have a newer version of firefox to install/package however, when we replace the default omni.ja file in FF 10.0.10 and go into HELP | ABOUT it shows the version number of FF that the omni.ja file came from, ie 10.0.4.
Which file(s) need to be replaced in omni.ja so that when we select HELP | ABOUT it shows the correct version of 10.0.10 ?
regards
Bill

hello biffal, which changes to the omnia.ja file have you done originally? maybe there's a better way to do it, because this file will be overwritten by each & every firefox update...

My operating system is Snow Leopard Version 10.6.8. I moved files in Adobe Bridge, how do I sinc to Finder?

My operating system is Snow Leopard, Version 10.6.8. I rearranged files in Adobe Bridge, how do I sinc my Finder?

10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

Getting the Test Stand version number of an old sequence file

A customer wants a small change to a previous deployment.
They have returned the original sequence file to me but the deployment is about two years old.
Is there anyway that I can get the TestStand Version number from the old sequence file so that I will know which version to save it in.
I am currently using TestStand 4.2.1.83.
Thanks,
Sean
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As Sean stated back in 2010, you can also read the version number in clear text. You can read some parts of the file in a text editor, the version number is one of those....

Sequence file Version number. How to prevent the automatic resetting build version number whilst auto-incrementing revision number?

Hi,
I've got my environment set this way that each save of the sequence file increase the revision part of version number. However, during that increase the build counter is reset to 0. How to prevent it?
TS 4.2

Mimi,
It is pretty common practice in software revisioning to reset a minor number to 0 when a major moves up 1. There are many different schemes out there. If you google or bing software versioning schemes you'll see what I'm talking about.
So looking at it from left to right: Major.Minor.Revision.Build = 0.0.0.1
if you change the Revision it would be expected that anything to the right (in this case Build) would reset to 0. 0.0.1.0!
Let's say your version is 8.34.56.23. It would make sense that if you were to change the Major number (which means a Major release) to 9 then your version would go to: 9.0.0.0.
A version number is just a unique way to tell someone which specific software you are using so it really doesn't matter that it resets to 0. Although it makes sense because if you kept your build number sequential and didn't reset it then it would get outrageously larger which would be more annoying than anything.
Again this is common accepted practice in industry.
Good Luck,

Will the newest version of Safari Mavericks work properly with Snow Leopard?

Will the newest version of Safari Mavericks work properly with Snow Leopard?

Are you asking if you can install Mavericks on a machine running Snow Leopard?
Upgrade to Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Application Compatibility
You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
If you do decide to upgrade, make sure you do a backup before installing.

Include metainformation (My version number) into a java class file???

Hy
It is possible to include metainformatins like the versions number to a java class file?
I think at the way of the VB6 programmers. The generated exe file contain a rigth click menu (Win Explorer) which shows the mettainformations from the developer (copyright, author, version number of the class file).

The windows version info is specific to windows compound files, where the info is incuded as part of the file. Java is platform neutral, and doesn't support windows binary specific metadata (just like you can't add version info to a text file in windows). Other os's allow metadata that is seperate from the binary format of the file, so do not suffer from this limitation.
Distributing your jar as a self extracting exe for windows will allow this info to be added.
