I have to delete or modify a user defined field in Oracle Identity Manager due to a mistake i made.Can that be achieved by making a new sandbox?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Though this thread is posted earlier. I have faced same kind of problem.
We can delete or modify a User Defined Field(UDF) before we publish it.
We can export the sandbox and make change or delete the field (in files after extracting the sandbox).
If you have already published the sandbox you can revert back the sandboxes but for that you need to have all the exported sandboxes which are already published. Then you can make your change manually in files of sandbox and republish those.
This idea worked for me.

I have an application, which is getting installed C:\ProgramFiles\RootFolder\InstallDir.
I have another application which is also getting installed in same root folder , eg:
C:\ProgramFiles\RootFolder\InstallDirofAnotherApp.
Here when I am trying to reinstall my application, it is deleting the entire Root Folder, It doesn't mind about the another installation of the other one.
So, it is deleting C:\ProgramFiles\RootFolder
Is there any setting to do like that? This is a legacy project and I am new to this. Unable to fine the cause
Thanks,

What type of projects are these applications (basic MSI, or InstallScript)? Check [INSTALLDIR] (General Information -> INSTALLDIR) in both packages; if these properties are different, see if there is any custom action that perhaps delete some files/directories.
I have a sharepoint solution (empty solution with a feature and event receiver).
When i deploy the solution, it adds folders in layouts/styles folder.
When i retract, the folder is not getting deleted.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance

this can vary with endless reasons of sharepoint thinking there is still some need for the files.
try using "Remove Solution", and make sure files are not checked out, or where ever used by the designer.
if you want to be sure delete them from the designer, and then install and remove the solution
Did you manually created the folder directly inside the layouts folder by any chance ?
Then try deleting the same folder from the layouts folder on the drive itself and then re-deploy the solution.
I couldnt really understand what is causing the issue in leaving the folders behind by not deleting after retract of the solution.
So i decided to add a line of code to delete the folder after retracting the solution.
Thanks every one for your responses and sorry for the delay in answering.
Thanks and Regards

One of the newest features in VS 2012 is the ability to create Private Extension Galleries, which allow you to build your own extension repositories and not have to publish them to the world (internal company tools, etc.). I've successfully created one as described in the MSDN blog I referenced, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to programmatically set the details of the gallery - the name and URL, and then "Apply" it - so that each person who wants to access it doesn't have to manually enter in the info.
I looked in the registry to see if I could install a key, and I think it's possible but not exactly trivial. Anyone have any insight?
The registry keys to set are documented under http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh266735.aspx. $RootPath$ would indicate a path like HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0 on the user's machine. Minimally, you could write a little tool that just sets those registry keys.
If you want to be really fancy, you could take that .pkgdef example and stick that inside a .vsix. Then, installing that extension would register the private extension gallery. A bit meta, but that could prove useful.
I'm going to mark Jason's answer as accepted, because he pointed me in the direction of how to properly do it which was my ultimate question. However, I do want to add another solution which does work if this is all you need:
If you manually add your private gallery details to Visual Studio, your registry key will be created for you. Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ExtensionManager\Repositories\[Dynamic Guid]
and export that key to a normal .reg file. You can then either create a simple batch script to install the key for you on other computers, or just have people use the .reg file to install it themselves.
I've got a working hello-world like webpart for my SPS3.0
I can compile, pack and deploy it using VS2008, makecab.exe and stsadm. So I know the theory of deploying sharepoint webparts.
My problem:
After I inserted an additional .webpart file, an elements.xml and a feature.xml to deploy the .webpart file and get knowledge about adding features to my webpart, the deployed webpart is missing its safe control entry in the web.config.
But the dll can be found in the gac and my features are also deployed to the right folders.
I didn't change anything in my manifest.xml especially not in it's -tag, because it definitely worked before i added my additional feature files.
Can anybody help me? Should i provide you some code snippets?
Thanks Stefan
You can try WSPBuilder, it will automate and ease your deployment process.
As far as I can tell, you are trying to find out how to register your web part as a safe control without using any tools, etc. and also without admin rights. I think you will find this impossible since the safe control registration needs to happen in the web.config file and one way or another (WSP Builder, manually, script) this file needs to be modified. Only admins can do this as far as I know.
If you are deploying your solution package using stsadm -o deploysolution, be sure that you are either using the allcontenturls parameter or that the url parameter is pointing to the correct web application. Which parameter you use (and how) will determine which web.config file(s) will have the safe control settings from manifest.xml applied to them.
We're using CruiseControl.Net to do our continuous integration of our web applications.
we build the project, zip it up, copy it to the integration server. A littel bit later,
the wbe.config is cached away, the folder delted, the zip file unzipped recreating the folders, etc, then the web.config is copied back.
the issue is that somwhere in the process, one of the folders (not always the same one)
will have it's permissions totally hosed.
even the owner can't open teh folder to look at the contents.
We reboot, and everything is golden, we can delete the folder and redeploy and everythign works.
My question is, other than if anyone has expereinced anything like this, is
what tools do you suggest to try to figure out what exactly has the permissions messed up
that is nolonger doign so after rebooting.
I figure if I can get a clue about what, I can figure out why.
Thanks,

You could try finding a way to run cruisecontrol.net as a limited user, that way it can't set permissions as something higher.
I'm afraid I don't remember the details But it was an obscure security setting on the Network our IT guys tweaked and it works now. I'm sorry I can't remember any more info, but I figured even this will be of some help incase someone else runs into the issue.
