how do you save your last windows sizes and position when using Exceed? I'm using it to run SAS environment but every time I boot it up, windows are always going back to default sizes and positions :(
I found this useful user written paper on using Display Manager.
The size and position of each of these windows can be adjusted using
standard mouse/window techniques. Once they have been adjusted the way
you want them, use the WSAVE ALL command in the command box to save
these settings for your next SAS session.
Also watch out for issues with not having access to your SASUSER library which can occur when you are running multiple SAS jobs at the same time. You can prevent the SASUSER library from not being accessed by all of the jobs if you run using the -RSASUSER option. But then you will not be able to run the WSAVE command. So if you want to make changes to the window locations do it when you do have write access to SASUSER.

We are using Pentaho Data Integration V7 working with multiple data origins with an Oracle DWH destiny.
We have stored all the connection access data in a parametrization table, let's call it : D_PARAM. All the connections are configured using parameters (${database_name} ... etc)
We have , at the begining of every job , a transformation with a "set variables" step which reads the right parameters from D_PARAM.
This all works fine, my problem is :
Every time we want to edit a single transformation, or in the development process of a new one , we can't use the paremetrized connections because the parameters haven't been setted. We need then to use "hardcoded" connections during the development process.
Is there a better way to manage this situation ? The idea of having the connections parametrized is to avoid errors and simplify the connections management, but if at the end we need both kind of connections.. I don't see them so useful.
There's not a simple answer, you could rotate your kettle.properties file to change default values, you keep all the values in the file:
D_PARAM = DBN
D_PARAM_DB1 = DB1
D_PARAM_DB2 = DB2
...
And just update the D_PARAM with the one you need from the different D_PARAM_DBN before starting PDI. It's a hassle to be constantly updating the kettle.properties file, but works out of the box.
You could also try working with environments, for this you would have to install a plugin available in Github: https://github.com/mattcasters/kettle-environment, it was created by a former PDI developer, and I don't know if it works with v7 version, it was updated to work with 8.2, but it would probably work with v7, to test it, you can install your PDI version on another directory on your PC and install there the plugin (and other additional plugins you have in your current installation), so you don't break your setup. This blog entry gives you details on how to use the environments: http://diethardsteiner.github.io/pdi/2018/12/16/Kettle-Environment.html
I don't know if the environments plugin would solve your problem, because you can't change the environment in the middle of a job, but for me, with the maitre script to use the environments when I program a job or transform, it's been easier to work with different projects/paths in my setup.
In Spoon you can click on the “Edit” menu and “Set environment variables”. It’ll list all variables currently in use and you can set their values. Then the transformation will use those values when you run.
Also works in Preview, but it’s somewhat buggy, it doesn’t always take updated values.
I have any problem with cytoscape, actually cyBrowser. It doesn't work correct.
There are 3 different shapes:
I actually work at my windows 10 PC and cyBrowser during create any graph plots (specifically heat map) isn't loading (I can see 100% processing, but but nothing happens);
In addition I use MacOS PC on work and and everything is fine there;
Actually I use MacAir and I have problem with cytoscape work when I use cy browser - it's just crushing
If you can help me, I will be extremely grateful
OK, there are a couple of quick work-arounds. First, when you create your plots, you should see an html file in your home directory. This is created by cyPlot when you request the plot to be created as a debugging aid. You should just be able to open that in any browser and you'll have your plot. Second, you should be able to disable the use of cyBrowser and use a native browser instead, although certain things won't work (e.g. selection in the browser won't be reflected in Cytoscape). To do this, go to Edit->Preferences->Properties and look for "useCyBrowser" and set that to false.

I have an image with a GUI application, with base image of microsoft/windowsservercore. Application is installed correctly in the image, however I'm unable to display it on host machine. Have read several articles on this on Google and they suggest to install XServer for Windows and then we can display the application on host machine. I have been trying to run following command (as suggested in most of the articles), however it does nothing and I don't get the display. Please assist.
docker run --rm -it -e DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 eft
The DISPLAY would be useful for Linux container.
As mentioned here:
WindwosServerCore image does not come with binaries for UI applications so I doubt this will ever work in servercore image but Microsoft insiders can use new bigger WindwosServer image which I beleive have those libraries intact.
This thread adds:
I understand that you can run GUI apps but the rendered elements are not shown on any desktop. Lars Iwer [MSFT] writes in the discussion below the article:
In the container image as it is right now, GUI elements will be rendered in session 0. UI automation should work with that (e.g. programmatically searching for a window etc.).
Session 0 is the session in which all system services are run and is by definition non-interactive. Sessions, Stations and Desktops are means of isolation in Windows (NT) and whether an application can show a UI and receive user interaction depends on whether it has an access to a Station with a Desktop.
Processes in Session 0 do not have that by default.
However it used to be possible to “Allow services to interact with Desktop” and it is also possible to run interactive services in other sessions than Session 0 (pay attention to “as it is right now”). Therefore, it would be interesting to hear some expert insights from Microsoft/Docker team on that…
Is there a way to use Chromium switches after starting it up, or must they be enabled on start up? For example, can switches be passed to the renderer processes, or just to the main process?
I want to turn on paint flashing in Chromium (actually in my Electron app which runs on top of Chromium).
Devtools has a checkbox that turns this on, but I want to be able to turn this on without devtools, and after the app has started.
I know there's a show-paint-rects flag I can use:
chrome.exe --show-paint-rects
In my Electron app, I would need to use app.commandLine.appendSwitch:
app.commandLine.appendSwitch("show-paint-rects");
I also found a ui-show-paint-rects flag that lives in something called the "compositor," but that may be irrelevant for me.
Both of these work, but since Chromium uses a multi-process architecture, I'm hoping that there's a way I can specify that switch, or otherwise, turn on a feature in one process and not have to specify it at startup.
Is there a way to do this in Chromium? (Would be ideal to do this in Electron, but I'm not counting on it)
We have an application that is using Windows Ribbon Framework for an UI. The app itself is written in Delphi and uses Windows Ribbon Framework for Delphi to interface with the ribbon API.
Our ribbon XML places few commands into the Quick Access toolbar. Use can then remove/add commands either by using the built-in ribbon mechanism (selecting the drop/down button and clicking on a command name) or by selecting More commands command which opens the configuration dialog.
The problem I've encountered is that I cannot find a way to get the current state of commands in the QA collection (whether they are visible or not).
In the example above (picture) I would like to detect that first five commands are checked and that the last is not so I can prepare the configuration dialog accordingly.
I have no problems enumerating the IUICollection and accessing the items stored inside. I can also get the UI_PKEY_CommandId for each item. I cannot, however, find a way to read the checked/unchecked state. I tried reading UI_PKEY_BooleanValue and UI_PKEY_Enabled for all items in the collection, but they do not return that state.
I have also tried to monitor IUICommandHandler.UpdateProperty but it doesn't get called when such item is checked/unchecked (except that it is called with the UI_PKEY_Label key).
Does ribbon API even support this functionality?
