When we open a defect in QC generally we need to attach the logs of the server
i want to Make an application such that It will take files(logs from all the relevant server) and stores in our local machine and then we can rar those files and directly attach it to QC defect mentioned by person opening defect
Now my question is how can i access the defect and attach the files to that particular defect
Please give your suggestions if any
QC has a published COM API called Open Test Architecture, (OTA) you can use that to load the relevant defect and attach the file to it. You can find relevant examples in QC Help for OTA.
Note that this is a COM API, if you insist using Java client to communicate with it, then you will have to use a Java to COM bridge like JIntegra (there is a free one as well, but I don't remember it's name).
But if you can write your client in VB6, C++ or .NET it will be much simpler (and cheaper) than writing it in Java.

I have Java FX app which is available for download on my site. I am looking for a way how to remotely and uniquely identify each downloaded application. Is it possible to store the id (for ex. in txt file) into a package of the Java FX app immediately before download?
Thanks for any suggestions
Each time you distribute it, you could try signing and timestamping the jar file for distribution. That way you can ensure that the file is not tampered with and validate it's signature and timestamp either locally or in a callback to a service you provide if necessary.
Also consider java-webstart cited here.
Yes, signing and webstart technologies can be used together if desired. Those two technologies can be used separately or together, so you can choose what is appropriate for your app. See the javapackager documentation for more details of the packaging process for web start (go through the documentation and refer to the sections that reference jnlp). Be aware that web start currently only works with Oracle JDK (as far as I know).
For your purposes, you would create a script that executes on each download request to generate a unique id or timestamp (or gets a timestamp from a timestamp service) and adds that to the package before signing and offering the package for download. You could add the download instance UUID and timestamp together with the referring IP address or user id (if you have a login system on your website), to a server-side database to track who downloaded what at what time.
If using webstart, you use a JNLP deployment as mentioned in the linked documentation. There are options for the packaging the JNLP to interact with some Javascript on a webpage, which can reduce network traffic and speed up the download and usage process. Sophisticated deployment mechanisms can dynamically generate that download package, and the download page with Javascript calls which embed JNLP data. Details or samples of such systems are outside the scope of the information I can provide here.
I'm new to DevOps, so forgive me if this is trivial, but given the following workflow, what is the purpose of the integration server?
I've been given the following steps as an example of an approach to DevOps at my organisation :
Developers check in changes to source control (TFS).
Build server checks for changes.
Artefacts of the build are deployed to an "integration server" which has a copy of our ERP on it.
A release management application takes the output from this ERP environment and moves it to test, pre-production, and production environment as and when.
Is this approach correct, and if so, is the purpose of an integration server merely to provide a working implementation of code, that isn't accessed for any means other than moving code onto other servers?
My answer is making some assumptions on what it sounds like is going on in your environment.
When you check in changes to source control with AX, it's adding *.xpo text files of the code/objects that are your changes only.
It sounds like your "integration server" is a build/staging server. Imagine these two scenarios:
You have a customization with 3 objects, and you add 2 of the objects to source control and forget one. When you build on the integration server, it could have compile errors because that missing dependent object.
In your development environment, you create test forms and jobs that are basically junk you are experimenting with. You do not add these objects to source control. You wouldn't want this code to be deployed to your other environments, so the integration environment ensures the code is strictly from the repo.
Doing full compiles/syncs against the integration will also help identify issues. Then you can deploy the environment in its entirety to your other environments.
The big thing to realize is that your repo is really only your changes to the base (sys/syp) code. So part of the integration/build process is your code & base code combining.
How do you save a database in Access 2010 so that the database can be connected to and the queries run from a machine that does not have Access installed? I have read that I can use runtime but can't find how to actually make it so that it can be used in runtime. Is this what the Package Solution Wizard is for or is just a certain file extension? If I do that, will the user have to install it? On my network I am not sure if that is allowed. Can you just email it as a file that doesn't need to be installed? I am really struggling to find much info.
You don't need to make any special preparations in your database for launching under runtime. Launching Microsoft Access with your database is similar to the way you would do so with the regular version of Access. Simply launch the msaccess.exe followed by the name of your database.
You can read more about this for instance here.
Access runtime should be installed on PC first
I have developed a web based application in ASP.NET and C# where users have the facility to upload files on the server through this application I want the application to Scan the uploaded files for viruses before saving on the server. Same like when we attach files with our email in Yahoo. Please guide me how I can achieve this functionality Any API which can be integrated in ASP.NET application or any other way you can suggest. We can purchase the licensed version of a product which can achieve this. I have googled but did not find specific results.
Thanks in advance!
First of all the file must be saved onto the server before you can scan it. If you notice Yahoo will upload the file first - but not allow the attachment to be sent until scanned.
Then you can use an antivirus with a command line interface or some other kind of API. Both of these can be called via C# and should provide the functionality you require. Parhaps write a wrapper class that takes a file and returns true or false depending on whether a virus was detected.
Other applications that provide you with a command line interface:
Microsoft Security Essentials
clamAv
I believe MS AV provides better results.
Just purchase antivirus software that has a command-line interface (several popular packages include this). Once the file has been uploaded, run the scan.
I would think, in order to upload and scan at the same time, you might need to implement your own antivirus software as I'm not familiar with any package that would provide that sort of interface.
I run a shareware site. It doesn't work as you described, but I download each file to my local computer and run a scan on them. You would be doing something similar.

Edit: Read-only access is fine.
I haven't tried this yet, but I think I've found a workaround.
Adobe AIR cannot write to Windows Registry, but you can, however, launch a native process in AIR 2. Here's a blog post that shows how to do that: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/articles/interacting_with_native_process.html
Now, on Windows, you are able to modify the Windows registry with .reg files. .reg files are just plain text files that's read by regedit.exe. So in theory, you can write a .reg file to the file system, then launch regedit.exe with the .reg file passed in and...TADA! You just modified Windows registry from your AIR app!
To read value, you can use regedit's export function to write to a reg file and read from the reg file. Details to regedit's options: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/regedit.php
Here are some additional resources:
.reg file syntax: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310516
write to file with AIR: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/articles/exploring_file_capabilities.html
If your willing to force the user to also install another application, you could write a small C# or C++ windows service that simply opens a Socket that provides some kind of protocol for accessing the registry. Then in AIR you can use the Socket class to send messages to/from the C# service that would return results to the AIR app.
When the app loads you can try to connect to the Socket, and if the connection is rejected you could prompt the user to download/install the service.
As for direct access to the registry I am pretty sure Adobe wouldn't allow that from AIR.
If you can I'd be horrified.
Why would you be horrified?
Air is a desktop platform, and having access to the OS's APIs (such as registry access) makes plenty of sense.
That being said, it isn't supported now (and as Adobe seem to be very Mac-centric, I doubt it will ever be added).
I have settled on grabbing the users name from the name of the user directory
Using File.userDirectory.name will work in most cases, but it seems like a very fragile implementation, it relies on the OS maintaining the convention of having the username as their directory. I can think of a few possible things that might break it (playing with TweakUI etc).
Here is a sample of modifying Windows Registry in Adobe Air using NativeProcess and Python. So you can Add, Delete or Read keys by only a single line of code !!
Download: Adobe Air Registry Modifier on Github
Are you trying to determine if the user is an administrator or not?
If so you could grad the username by with "File.userDirectory.name".
And I think to figure out if the user is an administrator you could probably try to access a file that requires administrator privileges (maybe try writing a file to Windows/System32). If the file access fails you could probably assume that the user is under a Limited account.
A bit late, but I got a wish from a client to read some values from the registry when the project was almost finished. If there were more of these types of wishes, I would have never choosen AIR. But I found a nice extension from FluorineFx, and by extending it, I can now read string and dword values from the registry. Windows only: http://aperture.fluorinefx.com/
You could theoretically modify the actual registry files, but I would highly discourage that idea.
Be very careful if you decide to create a socket server that listens for registry commands. You are potentially creating a security hole and users' personal firewalls may get in the way in terms of usability.
