Implementation of actions planned - a/s? Automator? bash?

I need a periodically (perhaps every four hours) launch an application and a time started, select a menu item, and then left after a given time period.

I guess that something like this can be done with Applescript and Automator, but I have no idea how to use one of them to do.

If anyone has a decent experience with these and a few moments of time, could you post an example so that I can use it to build my own?

I would even be willing to take my chances with bash scripts if they are easier or more effective.

Thank you people.

What application you want to automate? The Applescript and Automator usually depend on the application being designed to be automated.

However, you can use scripts to User Interface to select a menu item, even if the application is not be scriptable.

Or work in the way that an example would help. It is not designed to say something like, 3 drop down menu, select item 4.

Automator owns shares that gather data from app and possibly form, export, or otherwise on these issues.

With Applescript, do you things like,

get messages from the mailbox "inbox" with recipients that contain "TodFromIndiana".

As I said, user interface scripts may be required for the task you need but I'm not well versed in it.

  • How to make a user to increase the default size of the disc during the action plan?

    I have the problem with the field of "Ability" to the default volume, which is gray, so users cannot change its value in the request. It is plan basis of creation of VM with only one disk configured (I don't need at all, but it took to fill to record the action plan) and 'Allow the user to view and change storage reservation strategies' is checked. Users can add new volumes, but they cannot change the size of it with ID = 0. There are screenshots of request and action plan in the attachment. vRA 7.0.

    Hello

    Its a bug that will be fixed in 7.1.

    If you are a user of the API, you can override the disk size by adding the custom property VirtualMachine.Disk0.size at the time of the request.

    Unfortunately through the user interface, currently there is no way to change the size of the disks added during the creation period.

  • Configuration drop-down list when you request an action plan

    Because we are not allowed to the VCAC SDK, I am forced to use the workflow integrated calling my master workflow VCO.  My problem is that I have just rated provision which limits me to expose my configurations for each model.  An example of what I need is sales will have 40 configs while Finance has 10 configs.  I don't want their options in drop-down list to bleed over to other.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Well well, without knowing your particular use case and what are the variables, then Yes, maybe. I have more than 70 IaaS models right now, but I have ~ 20 profiles of construction. Nothing gets actually configured in the action plan itself except for material-specific values and model of vSphere being used for the provision of... All the news of real form is in building profiles. It is much easier to control that.

    At one point, I thought together to the bottom of each environment in a single model and have the o/s to be a configurable drop-down list, but finally I decided against that because I'm driving both the metadata information to be recovered vCAC and operate only vCO as a runtime engine. I wanted that little data hardcoded / fixed stored in vCO as humanly possible, so I build battery funding round have as much of the required inputs be stored in vCAC or vCenter, keeping the absolute minimum in vCO.

  • Action plan shows as unavailable

    I have install all components on a server in my lab, and you have configured groups of provisioning and circulation of blue with all the appropriate permissions.

    However when I login as a user or administrator, the plan of action seems to be is not available. I can see the action plan but can't do anything with it.

    I have attached all relevant screenshots

    I don't see a print screen for a virtual reservation assigned to this group of commissioning, which is available? If so, please provide a screen to see if there are any limiting parameters that can prevent asking a machine. Without available computing resources, users will not be able to apply for the machine.

    A recommendation I would make, is on access master plan area, you put in some users, like everyone else. You don't need to do it, if the user is in the Group commissioning the commissioning group is assigned a plan, hey have access. This area is really used for when you have a specific plan of action required for some users, but it is no reason to make a new group of provisioning for these users, you by removing everyone and assign it just for the subset of users in the Group of provisioning in need of this particular model.

  • Action plan

    Hello world

    I received this metalink action plan :)


    ACTION PLAN
    ===========
    1. log on to the workflow designer and then check if the AP invoice workflow has been dependent on the data
    base or not.

    2. check if there is a corresponding event created in WF_DEFERRED queue after approval for the Bill.
    To watch the WF_DEFERRED_EVENTS, you can use the following navigation-
    Workflow > queue summary.

    3. If there is no event in the WF_DEFERRED queue, please check if there are all the events in queue WF_ERROR.
    If you find events in the queue of the error, run the script WFSTATUS.sql and WFSTAT.sql and check what is the cause
    the error and correct the same.

    4. If the invoice has taken this step, you can run the scripts WFSTATUS.sql and WFSTAT.sql to see what he has the
    status of the invoice in the workflow. If that doesn't show any errors, run the workflow agent li
    Stener.
    Check if the listener agent workflow resumes this event

    5. ensure that there is a certain value in the author field of the request on the invoice.
    Please ensure that the name of the employee entered here is defined in HRMS as validation is
    fact against the defined values
    in HRMS. You will need to use the menu of FOLDERS to display the author field of the REQUEST.


    Where can I get this WFSTATUS.sql and WFSTAT.sql
    Support gave no details about this :(


    Thank you very much

    They are in $FND_TOP/sql on the admin layer.

  • Update of the proposals for action plans?

    Hi all! Thank you for taking the time to look at my post (and hopefully get some excellent suggestions!). I am a newly recent, and proud owner of an EOS Rebel T5, with the 18-55 IS II EF-S starter kit. I was quite happy with the 18-55, but I find myself wishing more. I'm the photographer acting for an equestrian team that focuses on games to horse and jousting. So as you can imagine, a lot of movement. I did decently with what I have and I was happy with most of my time, but I can't get any closer I need with the 18-55.

    I read up on most of the positions which closely apply to riding horse riding/action photos, but I really hope that there is someone out there who can point me in the right direction insofar as this glass maybe enjoy me more. I really enjoyed reading some of these posts also, lots of tips, advice, and technical stuff that I had not really taken into account.

    I've seen many people ask, "what kind of budget you're working with", so I'll throw this out there to make it out of the way. I have a budget restricted the end, I know that I won't be able to pay some outstanding things, otherwise I would have bought a better camera from the GET go (don't say I'm not happy with the T5, I know that there are the top cameras for better range out there). Lets say that my limit is $ 400 for this moment, walk and buy a new lens (or opportunity).

    But somehow, to the point, I hope to hear some useful tips! Thank you!

    Also, I will attach a photo I took, so you can see what I'm working with.

    This.

    It is is a Canon 70-200 mm f/4 (not IS) for $519.00 to the Canon refurb store.

    It's a strong serious lens at a great price of graves.  It will continue to be a large piece of glass later, if you decide to buy new bodies in the future and at this price you can sell the lenses on and come back almost all of your money.

    I shot ar jousting rennaisance fairs several times with my 70-200 and it is pretty much the perfect focal range even on full frame.  On your brave is 1.6 times more, so you should be perfect.

    that the goal will not last long at the refurb store so take it if you wish. Mir could be 6 months before one returns it.
