• Need help with vSphere data script, packaging and sending it to the data warehouse

  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.

• Need help with files combining script

  Hey guys, I'm a graphic designer who is really hoping most commonly the code can someone help! I have several hundred images that need to be combined. A client gave me a folder of images and their alpha cards as separate files. I need combine each image and alpha map and export the new image format PNG 24 with transparency. Doing so by hand will take forever, do this with a script is going to be awesome. The script must:

  -Open Filename.png

  -Create a duplicate of the background layer (as background layers may not have masks it seems)

  -Remove the background layer

  -Add a layer mask to the new double layer

  -Open filenamea.png (the alpha cards follow convention assignment of names + a .png file name)

  -Copy filenamea.png into the layer mask to filename.png

  -Save the filename.png for Web and devices such as a PNG 24 with transparency in a folder called converted (to avoid overwriting the old image)

  I'm sure it's more complicated, it seems, but is - someone up to help a poor, illiterate code GD?

  Here's a JavaScript solution only, for the curious. Save it as MergeAlpha.jsx and run it from Photoshop.

• Hello. I need help developing a PowerCli script that will show me the current configuration of the video Ram of each individual virtual machine on a host\cluster or a vcenter. Can you help me?

  I have a script that will allow me to change the configurations of VRAM, but I need a script that retrieves the configuration of all virtual machines VRAM in my infrastructure.
  I need to get out information to a csv file and run this report on a monthly basis... can you help me?

  Right now my environment is mixed. I have Windows XP virtual machines set to 4 MB, Windows 7 virtual computers set to 8 MB and a subset of sall of virtual machines set to automatic detection of settings.

  I need to be able to recover these settings in a CSV file in order to use this information for comparisons of trdouble-shot performance issues...

  Thank you.

• 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);

• Need help with box counting Script

  He had to count the number of boxes checked. I use the script below and its does not work. What I am, I am doing wrong? It drives me crazy.

  sum, named fields

  Event.Value = Sum (aCheckBox);

  Then why you check if they are several using the isNaN function and then try to add this number to the sum variable? Looks like you just copy the code, even if it does not apply to your situation.

  Replace these two lines of code with this:

  If (this.getField(aFieldNames[i]).value! = "Off") sum ++;

• 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 an order line shaped PowerCLI to follow development snapshots

  Hello

  I use Vshpere 5.1 and I need help to use PowerCLI out of information to audit some VM backups.

  My ultimate goal is to be able to verify which machines are being backed up.  Our backup tool uses instant VMware to run incremental backups so if we can follow what made instant due VM / deleted then we can better verify backups.

  I decided my inexperience with PowerCLI that it would be preferable for me to try a few small orders to see if I could get some decent results.

  The line of code I'm starting with is Get - VM * | Get-VIEvent - MaxSamples 20 | Where-Object {$_.} FullFormattedMessage - eq "task: Remove Instant"} ".

  Most of the time this script works however the output is interesting for me.

  Frankly, I was glad I was able to sign anything, but I'm confused as to why under "VM: 'told'"Vm: VMware.Vim.VmEventArgument"instead of the actual name of the VM."

  If I can find it to output the actual name of the Virtual Machine, so I can start to play with the formatting and obtained Export CSV files.  Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  I suspect a calculated property might be the way to go.

  Something like that

  Get - VM * | Get-VIEvent - MaxSamples 20 | Where-Object {$_.} {FullFormattedMessage - eq ' task: Remove Instant "} |

  Select @{N = 'The virtual computer name'; E={$_. Vm.Name}}

  You can of course view other properties of events returned to the Select-Object cmdlet even.
  

• Flash beginner needs help with Movie Clips/Action script

  HI -.
  
  I'm having a problem with my video clips playing simultaneously and cannot, for the life of me, know what I did wrong. I'm new to flash so I can I have created something wrong but this is what I have so far:
  
  11 layers, total: 1 layer with 10 buttons, each button with the following actionscript code:
  
  
  on (release) {}
  gotoAndPlay (85);
  }
  
  
  When the number changes with regard to keyframes, the next film is about.
  
  I have 10 films, total, but they are only video clips, mainly photo slideshow with audio, does everything in the library.
  
  The problem occurs when I click on the second or third button. Not only the movie I selected starts to play, but all previous clips are as well, he has completely blurred all the sounds. I don't know what Miss me in action script, as my Action layer has a stop command to this topic at each keyframe where there is a new clip to play.
  
  I tried to add a stopAllSounds command, but I'm afraid that does nothing because it is not an "audio file" in itself playing in the timeline panel.
  
  I'm at the end of my rope and really need help to understand this one. My project is hanging in the balance on this point, I wrote everything correctly and it works beautifully.
  
  Help, please!
  
  Thank you
  Caroline

  Start your sounds in frame 2 and place stopAllSounds() on each keyframe where begins a movieclip.

  Hi all what I need help with a script I can't find an example.

  I'm trying to subtract 2 numbers and then multiply this product. (o o8) * one but I just want to do the calculations if all fields have the numbers IE field o, o8 of field and field one.

  Thank you in advance. I was stuck on this days searching the Internet.

  Assuming you want to affect the outcome of this calculation in another text field, use this code as a custom field calculation script:

  var o = this.getField("o").valueAsString;
  var o8 = this.getField("o8").valueAsString;
  var a = this.getField("a").valueAsString;
  if (o!="" && o8!="" && a!="") event.value = (Number(o)-Number(o8))*Number(a);
  else event.value = "";
