A question about comments

Hi, all,
I have a question about the comments:
Program function comments should be included on the block diagram or Front panel, or both. Thanks.

Many good things have already been mentioned.
For the Front panel, there should be a clear distinction between toplevel VIs (or any subVIs where the user must interact with the front panel), and subVIs where the front panel is only of interest to the programmer. The needs here are quite different:
User Interface VIs
The front panel should be clear and easy to use. All "help" elements, tip strips, etc are geared towards the end user. The icon is irrelevant, because it is typically not even shown. Everything of interest to code maintenance should be on the diagram.
subVIs
Here, the front panel can contain a description of what the subVI does, who created it, company and copyright information, version information, limitations (e.g. input A must be >0), URLs or literature references to the algorithm, etc. (Have a look at any of the openG tools!). The "VI properties...documentation" section should be populated. The icon should be descriptive. All controls and indicators should have intuitive names (not just "Numeric 4", or "Array" )
Comments specific to certain areas of the code should be placed where they apply, especially if the code uses some exotic algorithm that would make the code hard to interpret.
Use a programming style that is self-documenting. (e.g. Don't unbundle the error cluster check for "equal zero" to switch a case statement. Wire the error cluster directly to the case so you'll get a red/green error case structure. Much more obvious!)
If these are proprietary VIs with password protected diagrams You should split the comments: Anything of interest to the non-privileged user goes on the front panel, anything else on the diagram.
In the end, it does not really matters where you place the comments as long as they are easy to find later and still make sense to somebody else 10 years from now. Message Edited by altenbach on 05-30-2005 01:13 PM

Question about comment command

I have to update comments on a lot of tables. I want to only update date them when the field is null.
Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?
I want something like COMMENT ON COLUMN TEST.REPORTS.ID IS 'Primary Key' where TEST.REPORT.ID IS NULL;

While adding comments can definitely be valuable I would suggest you take a different approach.
1. Add comments at the table level first. The ALL_TAB_COMMENTS view lists OWNER, TABLE_NAME, TABLE_TYPE, COMMENTS. Then for column level comments it is the ALL_COL_COMMENTS view with OWNER, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, COMMENTS.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28320/statviews_2092.htm#sthref1463
2. Prioritize the tables you add comments to. Focus first on your most important key tables and columns. Adding comments to those will be more immediately useful than a shotgun approach to try to add comments to all tables and columns. Most environments have hundreds or thousands of tables so take care of the important ones first.
3. A simple way to get started on your task is to create your own tables that are clones of the system views
create table my_tab_comments as select * from user_tab_comments; -- or from ALL_TAB_COMMENTS with/without OWNER='SCOTT' e.g.
create table my_col_comments as select * from user_col_comments
alter table my_tab_comments add (modified_date date default sysdate)
alter table my_col_comments add (modified_date date default sysdate)These tables become your working data and every record has a date.
If you use a GUI like Oracle's free sql developer tool you can easily update the COMMENTS columns that are null and update the MODIFIED_DATE accordingly. You can also see the existing comments and perhaps update them if necessary.
When you are ready to apply your changes use a script similar to what sb92075 has posted to extract the data from YOUR tables and create ALTER statements that will apply your comments.
You can easily modify the script to apply just one table at a time if you want.
By using your own work tables you make it easier to see what comments have already been written and to do the update is smaller, more manageable pieces. You can also let other developers comment their own tables so one person doesn't have to do it all.
If you add new tables to a schema later it is easy to write a query to add them to your custom tables and create comments.
When the project is finished you can either export your MY_TAB_COMMENTS and MY_COL_COMMENTS tables to a delimited, or Excel, file or create a big script to put into your version control system.
That way you won't have to repeat the process later.

Question about Kurts comments discussing the seperation of AIA & CDP - Test Lab Guide: Deploying an AD CS Two-Tier PKI Hierarchy - Kurt L Hudson MSFT

Question about the sentence in bold. What is the meaning behind this comment?
How would you separate the role of the AIA and CDP from a CA subordinate server? I can see where I add a CES and CEP server which has those as well, but I don't completely understand his comment. Because in this second step, (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tlg-key-based-renewal.aspx)
he shows how to implement CES and CEP.
This is from the guide located at: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831348.aspx
Step 3: Configure APP1 to distribute certificates and CRLs
In the extensions of the root CA, it was stated that the CRL from the root CA would be available via http://www.contoso.com/pki. Currently, there is not a PKI virtual directory on APP1, so one must be created.
In a production environment, you would typically separate the issuing CA role from the role of hosting the AIA and CDP.
However, this lab combines both in order to reduce the number of resources needed to complete the lab.
Thanks,
James

My concern is, they have a 2-3k base of xp systems, over this year they are migrating them to Windows 7. During this time they will also be upgrading hardware for the existing windows 7 machines. The turnover of certificates are going to be high, which
from what I've read here, it worries me.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2009/06/24/implementing-an-ocsp-responder-part-i-introducing-ocsp.aspx
The application then can go to those locations to download the CRL. There are, however, some potential issues with this scenario. CRLs over time can get rather large
depending on the number of certificates issued and revoked. If CRLs grow to a large size, and many clients have to download CRLs, this can have a negative impact on network performance. More importantly, by
default Windows clients will timeout after 15 seconds while trying to download a CRL. Additionally,
CRLs have information about every currently valid certificate that has been revoked, which is an excessive amount of data given the fact that an application may only need the revocation status for a few certificates. So,
aside from downloading the CRL, the application or the OS has to parse the CRL and find a match for the serial number of the certificate that has been revoked.
With the above limitations, which mostly revolve around scalability, it is clear that there are some drawbacks to using CRLs. Hence, the introduction of Online Certificate
Status Protocol (OCSP). OCSP reduces the overhead associated with CRLs. There are server/client components to OCSP: The OCSP responder, which is the server component, and the OCSP Client. The OCSP Responder accepts status
requests from OCSP Clients. When the OCSP Responder receives the request from the client it then needs to determine the status of the certificate using the serial number presented by the client. First the OCSP Responder determines if it has any cached responses
for the same request. If it does, it can then send that response to the client. If there is no cached response, the OCSP Responder then checks to see if it has the CRL issued by the CA cached locally on the OCSP. If it does, it can check the revocation status
locally, and send a response to the client stating whether the certificate is valid or revoked. The response is signed by the OCSP Signing Certificate that is selected during installation. If the OCSP does not have the CRL cached locally, the OCSP Responder
can retrieve the CRL from the CDP locations listed in the certificate. The OCSP Responder then can parse the CRL to determine the revocation status, and send the appropriate response to the client.

Some questions about Muse

First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html). I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
(http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident, moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
Is it possible to make an option of scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>

Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.
Here is the link to the old forums- http://support.muse.adobe.com/muse

Questions About JSP?

hi;
I am php devloper and I am learning Java now.
I am using NB6.1 , Tomcat 6.0 , J2ee 5.
I have some questions about devleoping web application with jsp.
1.What are
/WEB-INF/web.xml
/META-INF/context.xml
/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
files that generated with NB.are important or optional.are auto generated or may I edit.
2.can I distribute my web application in non text format.How?
3.if I want to add some files to my application that its running in tomcat.how can i do that with out rebuild all.
thank you

thank you all for helping.
I will write more information about my questions may this help others:
*{ /WEB-INF/web.xml* - The +Web Application Deployment
Descriptor+ for your application. This is an XML file describing
the servlets and other components that make up your application,
along with any initialization parameters and container-managed
security constraints that you want the server to enforce for you.
This file is discussed in more detail in the following subsection.
As mentioned above, the <code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file contains the
Web Application Deployment Descriptor for your application. As the filename
extension implies, this file is an XML document, and defines everything about
your application that a server needs to know (except the context path,
which is assigned by the system administrator when the application is
deployed).
The complete syntax and semantics for the deployment descriptor is defined
in Chapter 13 of the Servlet API Specification, version 2.3. Over time, it
is expected that development tools will be provided that create and edit the
deployment descriptor for you. In the meantime, to provide a starting point,
a [basic web.xml file|http://localhost:8080/docs/appdev/web.xml.txt]
is provided. This file includes comments that describe the purpose of each
included element.
NOTE - The Servlet Specification includes a Document
Type Descriptor (DTD) for the web application deployment descriptor, and
Tomcat 6 enforces the rules defined here when processing your application's
<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file. In particular, you must
enter your descriptor elements (such as <code><filter></code>,
<code><servlet></code>, and <code><servlet-mapping></code> in
the order defined by the DTD (see Section 13.3).
h4. } from tomcat documentation
Tomcat Context Descriptor
bq. A /META-INF/context.xml file can be used to define Tomcat specific \\ configuration options, such as loggers, data sources, session manager \\ configuration and more. This XML file must contain one Context element, which \\ will be considered as if it was the child of the Host element corresponding \\ to the Host to which the The Tomcat configuration documentation contains \\ information on the Context element.
}from tomcat documentation
but I still want more information about this question:
Q3: I want to distribute (sell to another organaization) without give sorce code in jsp files.So I want to precompile it to be just class files or jar files.
I want to use ant that become with netbeans 6.1.can anyone give me information about how to do that.
thank you again

Question about navigation in session scope

Hi.
I dont know how to resolve a problem or how to focus this stuff.
I'll try to explain myself.
Let say I have a page (a.jsf) with several links, all this links navigates to the same page (b.jsf) which shows the results.
For each link in a.jsf I have attached a bean with a logic, so If I click in link 1 I go to the b.jsf showing data read from the database.table1. If I clik in link2 I go to b.jsf showing data read from database.table2, and so on...
The beans are in session scope (and must be).
The first time works ok because I initialize the bean in b.jsf, read data and I show using a selecManyListBox to show it, but if I go back and select another link it goes to b.jsf, but it shows the old data, the data read the first time, because it never calls again the init method.
Somebody has talked about using an additional bean to control this but once the bean in b.jsf is created I don't know how to call again the init method in beanB (b.jsf)..
I have attached a very simple project to deploy in eclipse 3.3 and tomcat 6.0. In this example instead of read from database I read from an structure created in memory to simulate this.
Somebody could take a look and comment something about it.
http://rapidshare.com/files/197755305/_session-forms.war
Thanks

Hi.
I understand is the same doing in the action method in a button or a commnad, the project is just an example, my real app is a tree, so is not a question about a button or a command, is about the logic being in session scope. I don't know how to face it.
thanks

[SOLVED] Basic question about x2go, freenx, etc. compatibility

My goal is to simply enable remote desktop on my soon to be headless server. Given the number of posts here at Arch explaining the trouble with freenx and the Arch support of x2go, I'm confused there is not more talk about their compatibility. And as I've just discovered, they're not:
"Various open source terminal server projects such as x2go also use the NX protocol; however, x2go is not compatible with other NX servers and clients." (NX Technology)
This leaves me in a bit of a pickle. CentOS doesn't support x2go, and Arch doesn't support freenx. What's the best interoperable solution then? Either a sever app which supports x2go or a client app that supports NXX?

CentOSers are very persnickty about how you're supposed to maintain your system in terms of non-core packages etc. etc. And x2go is not coming up in the forum, wiki, or in the repositories (via the commanline tool yum). Read the response to my question about installing vim7.4. Hell, you can do _whatever you want_ to your system, but that doesn't mean anyone's going to help you when you run into trouble.
That comment strikes me as perfectly reasonable. The comment is pointing out that you are trying to use the wrong tool to do the job. The tool in this case is the distro - CentOS is not intended to be used in this way (for this job). Of course, if you insist on using a spanner to hammer nails, you are free to do so. But you can't really expect your local DIY shop to help you use the spanner when the nails don't go in straight rather than suggesting you use a hammer instead.
It is just like somebody who comes here and asks how they can stick with a known-stable set of packages while getting security updates. That's not what Arch is designed for so if you try to use it that way, you'll have a hard time. Of course, you are free to do so if you wish. But if you ask for help, you'll be pointed to another distro because that is the right answer.
It has nothing to do with being "persnickty". The answer is the most helpful answer somebody can give you.
Note: I'm assuming the description of CentOS, Fedora etc. is correct. I know the description of Fedora to be correct but I don't actually know anything about CentOS. But on the assumption that description is also correct, that answer is the most helpful answer somebody could give you, even if it is not the answer you wanted to hear.

Question about somepage.jsp?id=10

I have a few questions about passing variables inside the actual URL.
Say for example i have a products list, each product has an id. When i click on the product various information will be displayed including price, name etc etc. At the same time comments from various customers will be displayed.
I was just wondering how i'll generate the number embedded inside the jsp which takes the user to the product information page. For example <a href="getProduct.do?id=10> how is 10" generated? Is it generated based on the productID?
If i have 10 and in the products table i have the values do i just extract them according to the id and list the various values? At the same time i'll just locate the product id (which is a foreign key) in the comments table and list the comments also. I'm using struts if that makes any difference.
Do i have the right idea?

In other words, if i've printed out all the customer names from the database to my jsp how do i make it a hyperlink to point to the customer id using show.jsp?cust=1

Question about saving calendar and contatcs

Good Morning to all ,
I have a question about how to transfer the calendar and contatcs files to the new outlook profile after a imap migration. So what is the best way to transfer this kind of data before the imap migration for example to prep 70 machines? Any Powershell or
vbs script to save the calendar and contatcs into a pst file?
Thank you in advanced.
Thiago.

So what is the best way to transfer this kind of data before the imap migration for example to prep 70 machines? Any Powershell or vbs script to save the calendar and contatcs into a pst file?
Without knowing Outlook version involved and/or whether there are any additional email accounts configured in any given profile beyond the one being migrated to IMAP - some general comments
#1 - Simply add the same email account as an IMAP account to the same profile. That will result in the "default data file" remaining the same which contains the default "contact & calendar" folders. There is nothing that limits the
same email account to be configured with multiple protocols unless there is a setting that also needs to be set at the server level (i.e. GMail)
#2 - Delete the related "non-Imap" account from the profile - that is has no impact on the data file associated with the account
At a minimum - Contacts/Calendar folders remain as is with the only caveat being that the email folders in the original PST file will contain data which you (your users) may or may not want to completely get rid of (something you may want to check/confirm
beforehand)

Question about "Native ISO" and Color Grading in PP

I have a question about "Native ISO" in the real world and how it relates to color grading. I was shooting 35mm film before all these digital cameras became flat-out amazing practically overnight. Then the goal was always to shoot with the lowest ISO possible to achieve the least amount of grain (unless you were making an artistic decision to get that look). If I was shooting outside plus had a nice lighting package I'd shoot 5201/50 ASA (Daylight) and 5212/100 ASA (Tungsten) 99 times out of 100.
I've recently been shooting a lot with the Blackmagic 4K and have read that its "Native ISO" is 400. Because of my film background this seems counter-intuitive. Yesterday I was shooting for a client and had the camera at an f16 with a 200 ISO. Because of what I'd read, I was tempted stop down to an f22 and change my ISO to 400... but the "little film voice in my head" just wouldn't let me do it. It kept telling me "Higher ISO means more noise... stay at 200 and you will get a cleaner image".
So how does it work with "Native ISO"? Should I really shoot at a 400 ISO every chance I get in order to capture the best image for how the camera is calibrated? Will it really give me more latitude when color grading? Or would I still get a cleaner image staying at ISO 200? I've Googled around quite, but haven't found any articles that answer specifically this question. Would love to hear from someone who knows a bit more on the subject or has a link that could point me in the right direction.
Thanks much.

Hey, shooter ... yea, interesting discussion and always nice to learn. Great pic, too!
jamesp2 ...
Great answer. I've followed quite a bit of the discussion about the BM cams as well, one does feel a need to check out the possibilities for that next beastie one will need to acquire. But ... which one?
I've always been a bit of a hard-case about testing testing testing. For instance, what happens with dome down or use of a flat diffuser vs. dome in the up position in metering? Back in the film days, we had our own lab and did our own printing as well as the um ... difficult images ... from other studios. I needed to know how to get exactly the same diffuse highlight no matter whether it was a "standard" light 3:1 studio shot, or a near-profile with no fill that needs dark shadows. I tested & burned through boxes of medium-format polaroid & 120 film and a lot of color paper. Finding? To get the same print time no matter the contrast or lighting style, needed to be metered either with the flat disc (Minolta) or dome-down (Sekonic) and held at the highlight-location pointed at the main light source. I could meter and nail the exposure every time. Ahh no, insist so many ... one must have the dome on/up and pointed at the camera! Right. Do that, change the contrast, and see what happens to your diffuse forehead highlight on a densitometer ... and see how your printing exposure times change. Oh, and you've just moved your center-of-exposure up or down on the film's H&D curve, which will also change the way the shadows & highlights print. In truth, though it was subtle, we had realistically no matter latitude for a best-case image with pro neg film as one had with chromes. You could probably get away with being "off" easier, but it still wasn't dead-on.
So wading into video ... oi vey, you may have noticed the things claimed here there & everywhere ... this setting is God's Gift to Humanity but no, it's total crap ... this sensor is totally flawed but someone else is certain it's the finest piece out there. Yes, opinions will be all over ... but ... in film, it was the densitometer. In video, it's the scopes. Truth. And getting to that can be a right pain. I've seen quite a few contradictory comments about using the BM cams in film mode and also at ISO 200. Yours above gives the most ... comforting? ... explanation (for me) because of your reference to your scopes & the waveform patterns. Thank you.
Love to learn ...

Please do not post questions about Adobe software in this forum

Hello, welcome to the forums.
What you may not realise is that each Adobe product has its own specialist forum, and it's very important to choose the right one. This forum isn't about products, it's about comments on the forums themselves.
So, please go back to http://www.adobe.com/support/forums.html and choose the right forum. But first, make sure you know the name of your product.
When you look at the list of messages in a forum, there is a box above that describing what the forum is for. Take care to read it carefully, or you may put your message in a forum where there are no experts who understand your question. Also, check to see whether there are any "FAQ" (Frequently Asked Questions) sections in the product forum, and search for previous discussions about the question you wish to ask before starting a new one.

this is maybe because users are directly forwarded to this forum when looking for a contact in the otn-contact page. i suggest to change the contact-site and the direct the users to the "forums home" page.

General Questions about BI

Hello,
I want to get into SAP BI and have some questions about it.
Is there a big downside in installing only the BI components without the Java BI components, or is it even possible if you want to work with BI. What are the general differences between BI and Java BI?
I think the main aspects i will work with will be data warehousing and some basic reporting.
The reason why i'm asking is that i want to run the BI components in the same system as the ECC Server (its just a test system). I read that the Java BI component needs EPC and EP and that would probably be too much for a single system (6 GB RAM).
Thanks a lot in advance,
Martin

Thanks for your hints, they were really helpful.
As i mentioned i mainly want to work with the general Data Warehouse and Reporting capabilities, so i think it should be okay.
Actually i'm planing to write about BI and SAP within my master thesis.
Another question, what will be with SAP BI in the future regarding the Business Object acquisition? Is there still any point in learning SAP BI or will SAP BI disapear in the future? I heard that the basic BI functionality (e.g. Datawarehouse ) will still be used but the reporting capabilities would be disappear. I'm not sure if that is right and i'm really new to this topic. So any comments are welcome.
Thanks,
Martin

Question about VB OracleConnection

Hi all,
I would like to open an OracleConnection in my VB code and then call another vb function (in order to maintain good modular programming standards) within the same program using the same oracle connection whenever I try this I get a no connection open type of error.
So just to be clear, can I pass the connection between sub procedures and functions in order to not have to open and close a bunch of connections?

Sen,
Your question seems to be related to one of your previous postings in the Measurement Studio for Visual Basic Discussion Forum. Whenever you have further questions about the same issue, instead of posting a brand new question, you can simply add a "Comment" to the reply you got (by clicking on "Comment on this answer"). Here's a link to your previous posting where you can do this:
how can i control the DAQ directly from VB
Besides, you'll have a better chance of getting an answer in the Measurement Studio for Visual Basic Discussion Forum since the question is related to that product.

From USB to IEEE-1394: question about HD capture, editing, sharing.

I’m new to editing video but have a question about capturing video into Premiere Elements 7. I have been using a Canon HF11 which shoots only in HD and only has USB output to copy video to my desktop. I don’t have a Blu-ray burner yet but I have burned a few projects to DVD, shared video on YouTube, and saved files in .avi and .mpeg to view on computer screens. But obviously I’m missing out on sharing HD on disk at this time. I just bought a Canon XH A1s which shoots both HD and SD on miniDV tapes. And uses IEEE-1394 cable for capturing (to Pre7). I did a 3 minute test project in SD and burned it on a DVD disk. I was very pleased at the results and the ease of editing. I don’t have any HD tapes yet, but when I do what differences will I experience from shooting in HD and then capturing, editing, then to sharing? My current HD processes with the HF11 is slow, occasional low-resources warnings, and less then pleasing results on DVD disks. Thanks for any and all comments and/or suggestions.

Your HF11 is AVCHD format and the Canon XH A1 is HDV MPEG2. AVCHD takes a lot more computer horespower to edit compared to HDV MPEG2... main reason being that AVCHD is more highly compressed giving small file sizes. This is also why you get the low resource and memory alarms while editing.
To shoot HD you do not need HD miniDV tapes you can use the standard miniDV tapes. However the HD tapes are supposed to give fewer drop-outs than the standard tapes but are considerable more expensive. With DV-AVI a drop out would be hardly noticed, but as HDV MPEG2 is a compressed format and the picture relies on information in a number of frames any drop-outs can give a second or so of bad video. That said I have had very few issues with drop-outs. If you are doing a wedding or something important that you do not want to risk then probably better to use a HD miniDV tape.
In the past the advise has been to capture in high definition to get the best quality and then downconvert in the camcorder and capture in DV-AVI... the reason being that older versions of Premiere Elements did not do a good job of the down conversion. Reports on PE7 indicate it is better and that you could use a HDV workflow and burn to DVD as a last stage. This also allows you to export a high definition version of your video to view on a monitor where you can appreciate the higher resolution. Or in the future when you have a Blu-ray burner and player you can burn the file to disc... save doing all the editing all over.

How do I find my earlier questions about PSE organiser?

I have asked a couple of questions about Pse13 ,one specifically deleting duplicates from organiser. If no one answers the question and I do not receive an email, what can I do but keep asking? I paid good money for this new version but there is no chat support and they just refer you to the forums. If no one answers the question then I might as well go back to Pacasa.
