InterBase to SAP DB
by Vitor Varalonga 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Hi! Although this subject is not exactly Zope related, I thought I'd still try to throw in question, since many of the subscribers are well aware of this area. I've developed an application with Zope and all the data is stored in an InterBase database. After some study and research, I decided to move on to SAP DB. Therefore, I'd like to know if anyone knows of a software that could easily export the database from InterBase to SAP DB. I've tried to use SQL Enterprise Manage, but even though he manages to successfully create the tables, it stucks when it comes to transferring the tables' content. kind regards, Vitor Varalonga

RE: [Zope] External Editor and LocalFS

Thanks, you are correct regarding the pencil icon. It seems to work by using the /externalEdit_/ prepend to the tail of the URL. I'm getting a lock 401 unauthorized (no authorization header) message, but I suspect that's just my setup and I'll figure it out. Nice product.

I imagine the problem is not that they cannot be edited, but that the pencil icons do not show up. My guess is that LocalFS implements its own object manager contents view. Since ExEditor only overrides the default one so that it shows the pencil icons, LocalFS is not affected. A similar problem happens with OrderedFolder. -Casey On Wednesday 11 September 2002 02:13 pm, Meilicke, Scott wrote: > Has anyone used ExternalEditor to edit LocalFS objects? > > Thanks - Scott > The information contained in this email message may be privileged and is > confidential information intended only for the use of the recipient or any > employee or agent responsible for delivering it to the intended recipient. > Any unauthorized use, distribution or copying of this information is > strictly prohibited and may be unlawful.

RE: [Zope] Bug in Zope?
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 11 Sep '02

Likely not related to the problem, but have you tried Python 2.1.3 since Python 2.2 is not officially supported by Zope 2.x at the moment? Sean -----Original Message----- From: VanL [mailto:vlindberg@verio.net] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 10:04 AM To: zope(a)zope.org; Patrick Lawrence Subject: [Zope] Bug in Zope? Hello, We are doing a migration of some old data (stored in a standard format in text files) into the ZODB. We have two methods: ImportCDF is a pythonscript. It receives a filename and batchname (these terms will be explained in a moment.) It gives the file name to the second (external) function, ReadCDF. This part appears to be working. ReadCDF opens the external file puts each record into a dict. It then returns these dict/records one at a time, using yield. This function appears to be working. Import CDF then resumes control. It first takes the batchname and uses it for the id if a batch info object (a custom object that we have created). Then it loops over the records returned from ReadCDF, creating an object for each returned record. Here is the problem: We run this with one cdf (the external text file) and it works correctly. We then run it with a second cdf and it runs correctly. Then we run it with a third, and it fails with: Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access POSException in this context The function in ImportCDF that throws this exception is: # Loop through our CDF dictionary records for cdfrec in cdf: cemail = cdfrec['Contact Email'] czopeid = cdfrec['CID'] # If the customer exists, getattr it. Otherwise create it. if(not hasattr(customers,czopeid)): #print "Adding Customer Info for "+czopeid try: customers.manage_addProduct['MigrationManager'].manage_addCustomerInfo(id=cz opeid) objects_created = objects_created + 1 except ZODB.POSException.ReadConflictError: continue Afterwords, the script will throw this same exception for the cdf input files for which it previously worked; i.e., the error is persistent. However, if you cut and paste the contents of ImportCDF into a new script (e.g., Import-CDF) and run it, it will work correctly until we run it on the bad CDF. After that, the error will persist in the new script. We cannot find any way in which the third (bad) CDF is different than the first two (good) CDFs. They are all the output of the same parser, and all validate as being correctly formatted. The data has no binary characters or anything, this is just an XMLish data file. Further, the function that actually deals with the file seems to have no trouble with it. This entire sequence of events is quite baffling to us, especially the fact that the error persists after it has been thrown once -- the script never functions correctly again. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. More specific information available on request. This is Zope 2.5.1, without the 6-14 hotfix (yet), running on python 2.2.0 on FreeBSD 4. Products installed: CatalogQuery, ExternalEditor, LocalFS, and the package with our custom objects (mostly based off Kube).

folders, parent folders, child folders
by Fearless Froggie 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Hi, What I would like to do is start with one folder in a hierarchy of folders and walk through and find all the parent, sibling and child folders. I'll probably use something like an array to represent them. The problem is how do I find these parent and child folders? I've looked through the API information in Appendix B of the online Zope Book, but none of the modules seems to cover this. Of course i'm a total newbie, so I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction? Many Thanks, Rita Mikusch __________________________________________________ Yahoo! - We Remember 9-11: A tribute to the more than 3,000 lives lost http://dir.remember.yahoo.com/tribute

I would like to add a password property to the acl_users list
by Friedlander Paul 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Hello, I am building a site that allows users to be members of projects. Members get extra access to the site. I also want the members to receive e-mail notifications when certain things change on the site. It seems like a better idea to add the e-mail address to the acl list rather than build a mirror list of users to deal with membership and e-mail notification. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for your help. Paul Friedlander Danfoss paulfriedlander(a)danfoss.com

Per error error page
by Jim Kutter 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Is it possible to have an error page display a different message depending on what happened? For example, we have a user-friendly page template for the standard_error_message, but it displays the same content for 404 errors and for script errors. Ideally I'd like to be able to say one message for 404 errors, and another for script errors. -jim
