• Need help with understanding PowerCli scripting by LucD

  Hello

  I'll give you the standard statement that I am a noob powercli and don't really know what I'm doing here.  Here's a script that works because it runs without error and gives a report but I need help to understand this under his weight.

  Connect-VIServer '< our vcenter >' - user < user > admin-password < admin-user-pwd >

  $allvms = @)

  $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"}

  $start = (get-Date). AddDays(-1)

  $metrics = "mem.usage.average".

  $stats = get-Stat-entity $vms - start $start - Stat $metrics

  $stats | Group-object - property {$_.} Timestamp.Day}, {$_.} @entity.name} | %{

  $vmstat = "" | Select the day, MemAlloc, MemMin, MemMax, MemAvg, VmName

  $vmstat. VmName = $_. Values [1]

  $vmstat. Day = $_. Group [0]. Timestamp.Date

  $mem = $_. Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.usage.average"} | Measure-object-property value - average - Maximum - Minimum

  $vmstat. MemMax = [int] $mem. Maximum ##dfsdf

  $vmstat. MemAvg = [int] $mem. Average

  $vmstat. MemMin = [int] $mem. Minimum

  $vmstat. MemAlloc = $_. Group [0]. Entity.MemoryMB

  $allvms += $vmstat

  }

  $allvms |

  Export-Csv "c:\ < folder > \ <>.csv file Destination"-noTypeInformation

  It connects to our server vcenter server and offers two days of data.  Today and yesterday, all with a timestamp of 0:00.  See below for an example of a virtual machine.

  VmName	Day	MemAlloc	MemMax	MemAvg	MemMin
  < name VM1 >	07/05/2016 0:00	4096	18	18	18
  < name VM1 >	06/05/2016 0:00	4096	36	12	8

  The MemMax, the MemAvg and the MemMin are for this day?  Just the max of this period of sampling time 0:00?

  What I'm looking for, it is to find that the use of the maximum memory of virtual machines are for the whole day.  So I hope that I can remove memory of VMs that do not use it.  I was listed on the change $start = (Get-Date). The value of AddDays(-1) to $start = (Get-Date). AddDays(-30) and see what things alike.  I want to be sure however that the value for MemMax is the highest value for a period of 24 hours.  That is to say for the 07/05/2016 the given virtual machine never used a maximum of 18% of his memory attributed the 06/05/2016 the maximum amount of memory used was 36%, and so on that I extend on the date range.

  Kind regards

  Michael

  It then becomes a rather simple Get-Stat script.

  $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"}

  $start = (get-Date). AddDays(-1)

  $metrics = "mem.usage.average".

  Get-Stat - entity $vms - start $start - Stat $metrics |

  Select Timestamp,@{N='VM'; E={$_. @entity.name}}, Value |

  Format in a file in the CSV format and send the file to an FTP server?

  Much respect to all, thanks a lot in advance.

  Hello-

  Happy to help you.

  OK, well, if this database is accessible through a UNC path, you might make a copy directly using Copy-Item.  If you use different credentials, you can encrypt and store in an XML file.  HAL Rottenberg wrote to do http://halr9000.com/article/531.

  Or, if this pension data is something that supports the secure copy (scp) or secure FTP (SFTP), those who would be good options.  Again, you can store the alternative credentials in an encrypted in an XML file format and use them as needed.

  Certainly, there is a balance to be struck between security and ease of use.  It may be such that the transmitted data are not considered sensitive to all, and clear data transfers are acceptable.  Probably still a good idea to take measures to protect the credentials at least.

• Help with Docs combine script

  Hello

  I am writing a script that combines a list of docs in 1 doc.

  The script begins with a dialog with a list of docs open.

  The user selects the files he wants to combine.

  The script reads the list and send to the following function:

   function combine() {
  
      var docsPages = [];
      var pgCount;
      var newDoc = app.documents.add();
  
      for (var i=0; i<myFiles.length; i++) {
          var myDoc = app.documents.item(myFiles[i])
          docsPages[i] = myDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
      }
  
      for (var v = 0; v < myFiles.length; v++) {
          for (var i=0; i<docsPages[v].length; i++) {
              docsPages[v][i].duplicate( LocationOptions.AFTER, newDoc.pages.lastItem() );
          }
      }
  
  }
  

  The script is almost working...

  The problem I have is that the script puts the pages side by side.

  The result is a dotted with 18 pages long!

  Here is a screenshot to explain what I mean:

  

  What I'm doing wrong here?

  Thank you

  Davey

  P.S. I put in place of the script as I did because I want to give the possibility of interleaving pages (2 loops).

  Hello

  @Uwe. No problem with export 12-pages no distributed in PDF (very nice landscape)

  @ Davey

  To keep the 1st page on the right side:

  function combine() {
  var
       newDoc = app.documents.add(),
       docsPages = [],
       v, i;
  
  for (v = 0; v < myFiles.length; v++) {
       docsPages = app.documents.item(myFiles[v]).pages.everyItem().getElements();
       for (i = 0; i < docsPages.length; i++) {
            if (v == 0 && i == 0) {
                 docsPages[i].duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING, newDoc.spreads[-1]);
                 newDoc.pages[-1].remove();
            } else if (newDoc.pages.length % 2 == 1 ) {
                 newDoc.spreads.add({allowPageShuffle: false});
                 docsPages[i].duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING, newDoc.spreads[-1]);

• Need help with a FormCalc script...

  I have an auto form certain text fields based on a date field. It works fine, but when I open the form, the fields are already filled with a default date when I actually put "Week start" date, he turns into what I want, I don't want the fields to have something in them when the form is opened.  The FormCalc script that I use is the following

  var dateNum = date2num(form1.Checklist.weekStart.formattedValue,"MMMM DD, YYYY")

  $.rawValue = num2date(dateNum,"MM/DD")

  Here is a link to the file itself

  https://DB.TT/UScOAGZr
  

  
  

  We FormCalc, blocking the right controls the drop-down list of the calendar to make sure that they select a Monday.

  I like to put as much of my code that I can in one place, so it is easier to change things. That is why I proposed to do all of the drop-down list calendar.

  So, you could do something like:

  var selectedDate = Date2Num($,"YYYY-MM-DD")
  var dayOfWeek = Num2Date(selectedDate, "E")
  
  if (dayOfWeek <> 2) then
            xfa.host.messageBox("Week Starting must be a Monday")
            $ = null
            xfa.host.setFocus("$")
  endif
  
  Table1.Row1.dayMonday = num2date(selectedDate, "MM/DD")
  Table1.Row1.dayTuesday = num2date(selectedDate + 1, "MM/DD")
  Table1.Row1.dayWednesday = num2date(selectedDate + 2, "MM/DD")
  Table1.Row1.dayThursday = num2date(selectedDate + 3, "MM/DD")
  Table1.Row1.dayFriday = num2date(selectedDate + 4, "MM/DD")
  Table1.Row1.daySaturday = num2date(selectedDate + 5, "MM/DD")
  Table1.Row1.daySunday = num2date(selectedDate + 6, "MM/DD")
  

  (I dissociated from the first table that it was originally the need to use xfa.resolvenodes.)

• Need help with custom calculation Script

  Hey everybody.  I'm using Acrobat X Pro and stumbling a bit on the syntax of the following equation.  I need to add the value of "Cell1" & "Cell2" then add the value of "Cell3.  However, the value of "Cell3" is entered by the user and specifies a percentage of the sum of "Cell1 &"Cell2".  For example: If the user enters "3" in "Cell3" I need the value returned at 3% of the sum of "Cell1" + "Cell2".  If the user enters "9" in "Cell3" I need the value returned for "Cell3" 9% of the sum of "Cell1 and Cell2" and the end result should be the sum of "Cell1 Cell2 + Cell3.  In more detail:

  If "Cell1" = "Cell2" $ 500 = $500 and "Cell3" = '3' then I need the returned value to be $1030,00.

  I hope this makes sense. Here's what I have so far, but alas, it does not work.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  Get the first value in the field, as a number

  var v1 = + getField("Cell1").value;

  Get the second field value, as a number

  var v2 = + getField("Cell2").value;

  Get the value of a field, a number transformation

  var v3 = + getField("Cell3"/100).value;

  Calculate and set the value of this field for the result

  Event.Value = v3 + (v1 + v2);

  Thank you

  Solan

  I have posted a reply, but realized that it wasn't what you wanted. There is some confusion about what you want for Cell3. A hand, you say that the user enter a vaule in the area, but them you say you want its calculated value based on what the user has entered and two other field values. It seems to me Cell3 should be the domain that the user enters the percentage, and the calculated field (Cell4) script could be:

  Get the first value in the field, as a number

  var v1 = + getField("Cell1").value;

  Get the second field value, as a number

  var v2 = + getField("Cell2").value;// get treatment field value, as a number

  Get the percentage

  var v3 = + getField("Cell3").value;

  Calculate and set the value of this field for the result

  Event.Value = (1 + v3 / 100) * (v1 + v2);

• I need help with my first Script in AE CS5

  Hello fellow designers out there.

  I'm newbie on AE Scripting here. I run my CS 5 on Win 7. I'm trying to create a simple solid GUI and it controls opacity by cursor. I fail and do not now how it work. Here is the code that I have written in reference to many sources and tutorials:

  myComp = app.project.item (1); akses comp 1

  mySolid = myComp.layers.addSolid ([1.0,1.0,0], 'my place', 50, 50, 1); solid

  var myWin = new window ("palette", "Transform", undefined); create the palette

  myWin.orientation = "row";

  var myOpacity = myWin.add ('Committee', undefined, "Strong opacity");

  myOpacity.orientation = "column";

  myOpacity.add ("statictext", undefined, "Opacity Kontrol");

  var opacitysliderCtrl = myOpacity.add ("slider", undefined, 50, 0, 100); make cursor

  var layerOpacity = mySolid.property ("opacity");

  opacitysliderCtrl.onChanging = function()

  {

  var val = Math.round (opacitysliderCtrl.value);

  layerOpacity.value = val;

  };

  myWin.center ();

  myWin.show ();

  Please, help me to see the problem here. Thank you

  There is more harm than good in your work

  At the moment you script attached a slider to a single layer (mySolid, that you add at the beginning).

  This is not very useful, that you cannot use this slider for the other layers.

  You should also keep in mind that this solid can be deleted, so the mySolid object may become invalid (referring to a solid that no longer exists).

  I don't know what, exactly, is your plan, but a script has generally not set anything related to AE in his many body (at launch).

  Only when the user clicks/change a widget script tries to extract a model, layer, property, or anything that the user specified by "a kind of secret code" (most of the time: the model, property, layer, etc. is selected).

  If you want the slider to control the opacity value of all selected layers in the active model, it would be something like this:

  var myWin = new Window("palette", "Transform", undefined); //create pallete
  myWin.orientation = "row";
  
  var myOpacity = myWin.add("panel", undefined, "Solid Opacity");
  myOpacity.orientation = "column";
  
  myOpacity.add("statictext", undefined, "Kontrol Opacity");
  
  var opacitysliderCtrl = myOpacity.add("slider", undefined, 50, 0, 100);//make slider
  opacitysliderCtrl.onChanging = function onOpacitySliderChanging(){
  
          // retrieve the AE things that have to be handled: in this case, all selected layers in the active comp
          var myComp, myLayer, n;
          var layerOpacity, val;
  
          myComp = app.project.activeItem;
          if (myComp.numLayers>0){
              for (n=0; n

• Need help with some cluster power shell scripts

  Guys,

  I need help with 2 scripts.

  Text 1.

  I need a power shell script that will get all the virtual machine in a specific cluster.  Virtual machine names as well as the number of processors, output allocated RAM and size of CSV file.

  Text 2.

  I need a script that will get all data warehouses in a specific cluster and store name data as well as the amounf of free space for a CSV output.

  Thanks in advance guys.

  Greetings, @peter79 -.

  For the first part:

  Get-Cluster myClusterName | Get-VM | Select-Object Name, MemoryMB, NumCpu | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation c:\temp\myVMInfo.csv
  

  And for the second, how about:

  Get-Cluster myClusterName | Get-VMHost | Get-Random | Get-Datastore | Select-Object name, FreeSpaceMB, CapacityMB | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation c:\temp\myDaterstoreInfo.csv
  

  The first would be quite a bit faster by using Get - view instead of Get - VM.  It would be like:

  ## get an array of VM View objects with just the desired/needed properties
  $arrVMViews = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -SearchRoot (Get-Cluster myClusterName).MoRef -Property Config.Hardware,Name
  ## make the two filters for displaying the desired info
  $hshCPUCountFilter = @{n="NumCPUs"; e={$_.Config.Hardware.NumCPU}}
  $hshMemAmtFilter = @{n="MemoryMB"; e={$_.Config.Hardware.MemoryMB}}
  ## display the info, and export to CSV
  $arrVMViews | Select-Object name, $hshCPUCountFilter, $hshMemAmtFilter | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation c:\temp\myVMInfo.csv
  

  Enjoy.

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

   

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.
