Test if a layer with a specific name exists?

Is there a simple way to determine if there is a layer with a specific name?

You can browse all the layers table, check if the name you are looking for is there.
You can even put it in a function that returns a boolean, as follows:

function doesLayerExist (layers, name) {}
for (i = 0; i
If (layers [i] .name == name) return true;
}
Returns false;
}

You can then call it as follows:

If (doesLayerExist (app.activeDocument.layers, "Layer1")) {}

do something if the layer exists

} else {}

do something if the layer does not exist

}

  • New virtual machine for the model with the specific name

    Hello

    I'm trying to add some model VM to VAPP using recomposeVApp (...). And it works well except that I can not change the name of the virtual machine while recomposing. It takes the name of the model. But how to add VMS to model with the specific name? I use the v1.0 API.

    This is my code:

    ReferenceType vmTemplateRef = new ReferenceType();
    vmTemplateRef.setName ("MyNewVM"); This name is ignored. The name of the model is taken!
    vmTemplateRef.setHref (vmRef.getHref ()); reference to the model

    CompositionItemParamType vmItem = new CompositionItemParamType();
    vmItem.setSource (vmTemplateRef);

    create the type params VAPP recompose.
    RecomposeVAppParamsType recomposeVAppParamsType = new RecomposeVAppParamsType();
    recomposeVAppParamsType.setName (vAppRef.getName ()); The name of vApp. It is ok.

    added the element of the virtual machine.
    The newItems < CompositionItemParamType > recomposeVAppParamsType = list
    . getItem().
    newItems.add (vmItem);

    Task task = vapp.recomposeVapp (recomposeVAppParamsType);

    Thank you

    Hello

    For after this code fragment:

    vmTemplateRef.setName ("MyNewVM"); This name is ignored. The name of the model is taken!

    The model name is ignored because vmTemplateRef is the only reference to the object that will be used for the operation of recomposition. If changing the name it will be always ignored.

    I think that changing the name of the virtual machine template for recompose cannot be done as follows:

    (1) operation recomposeVApp().

    (2) get the recomposed VAPP

    (3) download the children-> VM you want to change.

    (4) change the name of the virtual computer.

    I hope this helps!

  • Mark all virtual machines with a specific name text

    I need a script that will mark all the virtual machines that we have with '_replica' in the name.  I am just know PowerCLI and don't know enough to create the script but we have an immediate need for it so hopefully someone here can help me get started.  I intend to schedule the script to run periodically (assuming this is possible) to ensure that all replicas VMs are coded correctly so that they are excluded from the backup and replication jobs (we exclude them by tag in Veeam).

    Thanks for the help.

  • Check which table has no column with the specific name number of tables

    Hello

The problem is that I want to go through all the tables and tables that don't have the program_update_date column.

  • Database test on a different server with the same name of SID as database production - thoughts?

    Hello

    We use oracle 11.2.0.3 and have 2 environments a production environment and test each on different servers.

    Currently, our test database has database different SID to the production one.

    DBA is eager to have the database of test with the same name of SID.

    Thoughts/concerns in this area - will be on different servers.

    Thank you

    We also had a similar situation, it allows to save a few hours when cloning (we do not use RMAN), but a lot of damage, it can create.

    So much better with different names on different servers.

  • Export PNG with the correct name, for each layer, script file frame foreach

  • Hi, I just upgraded from 6.1 to 6.4 LR LR. When importing new files LR6.4 cannot rename my files with a specific date format (import uses only the original name).

    Hello

    No problem with the LR 6.1, but now (LR6.4), it seems impossible to rename my files with a specific format (yyyy-dd-hhmmss and a suffix) importing memory cards. LR imports only files with names of origin. And I have a lot of files to rename...

    I hope that someone knows what's going on.

    Jean

    Jean,

    We found a similar question which is being implemented. If you shoot images at once in the first and jpg format and then import them using the option of renaming, the question is in place.

    Could you please check if you use the option "make a second copy? If so, please it deselect. It should solve the problem.

    The issue is addressed in Lightroom.

    Thank you

  • Problem downloading file with the specific file name

    I have built a graphical interface that allows the user to enter a (using IRite for editing) press release and have it upload to the server. It needs to be uploaded to the server using a specific name that the user selects from a drop down list. It is not working and I don't know why. Can someone take a look at my code and see if they can spot something? Thank you.

    assuming that, as in your original post, you use a component textarea with
    NAME = "commonality" for text entry, all you need is:

    If your drop-down list box file name contains only the part name and number
    extension (i.e. "mynews" instead of "mynews.cfm"), then add & ".cfm".
    After form.filename in the destination tag cffile above attribute.

  • "import as layer" with javascript?

    Hello!

    I was wondering if there is one here who could give me some batch processing javascript in Acrobat tips. My problem is the following... I have many (thousands) of pdf that have an object on a layer with incorrect data. In Illustrator, I wrote a script which allows to reconstruct this object fills with correct data from a csv file and then saves in a pdf file with a name that matches the master pdf, in that it must be inserted.

    What I want to do with a batchscript of javascript is for each open file is to find the file name and the newly created pdf file is found (done) then do something equivalent to the command "import as layer" and import to an existing layer already in the main PDF so the new masks the old object. This I can't do... Well, really, I can't do a lot with js in acrobat for that matter. I can't even a var to return a value to the colsole for testing. It returns no "defined."

    I can find the layer I need to manipulate with ' this .getOCGs () [0] ", the layer I need to handle reaches zero and using the"Merge layers"example in the Guide scripts JavaScript Acrobat a layers properties are modified to match the target layer but it always appears as a distinct physical layer.

    What I just wrote is unable to make sense of bones of bunch so in other words... What I want to do with javascript, it is the action of the "Import under the layer" option selected in the layers panel in mirror. The function key I want to make is in the 'Options of Import' is to 'add to the existing layer.

    I appreciate any help that can be offered.

    JT

    There is much that can be done with JavaScript in Acrobat.
    As far as I know, you can add or merge a layer directly, but you can add a BCG with the addWatermarkFromFile() method.

    About the console, simply run your code and either select the name of the variable you want to examine or type it, and then press Ctrl + Enter. It displays its value. For example, if you run this code:
    var a = 2 + 5;
    one;

    The result will be "7".

  • Recommendation req - how two database with the same name can exist on a single server

    Description of the problem: I have a database named 'aaa' (9i db) in production and we need a copy of it to create 'aaa' in the same server with the same name, but an 11g database.

    9i 'aaa' is an exixting database in an AIX 5.3 Server.
    You will need to create a copy of this database 11 g named 'aaa' on the same server. I use the utility exp and imp db, but not sure how far it is recommended to have the same db names in a single server. Not sure about listener etc. problems.

    Any suggestions on this would be appreciated!

    Create this database for a specific application, test and cut classes to prod.

    The goal is admirable.
    The proposed plan makes me shudder.
    V11.2 must be installed on system new/other, IMO; to reduce the risk of wrong operation on the basis of incorrect data.
