Bursting - question about delivery channel

Can I call scripts with one of the delivery channels? Or maybe I can do it through filter, something like
<xapi:filesystem output = "/tmp/1.pdf" filter="/tmp/myscript.sh /tmp/1.pdf">
??

Many reasons. For exampel one of our request is to call web-services for some bursted file. If I could call a script this will become doable.
You mentioned BurstingStatusListener . I didnt' find any reference to BurstingStatusListener in Administration guide. Can you give some example?

BIP Bursting and Invalid Delivery Channels

Hi,
I have a BIP report which is setup to demo bursting capability. It works fine with multiple channels such as File folder, FTP, Email (Oracle Email Server).
However, if I have invalid email addresses in the list of my bursting destinations, the report job log will still show all bursting deliveries "SUCCESS" though those bursted parts will neve be actually delivered to invalid email addresses.
So I end up having an embrassing situation that some bursting end-users can't get report in their email box (because someone made mistakes when putting end user's email addresses in bursting configuration file/table) and administrator can't be aware of those failures because those won't be shown as "failed" on job log.
Is there any way to configue BIP so that un-delivered part of bursting can be shown to the Administrator?
BTW, before I send this email out, I just found FTP delivery channel also has the same issue. i.e. The bursting log still shows "SUCCESS" even when an invalid FTP host address is configured.
Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,
Yang

Hi all,
within the delivery note specification the FTP Server name has been set the same to the IP address.
For example:
OLD
FTP server name: Test
IP: 1.1.1.1
Port:21
NEW
FTP server name: 1.1.1.1
IP: 1.1.1.1
Port:21
Then issue was resolved.
Please, refer to the SR# 3-1488517361.
with regards,

Question about BlazeDS Channel internals

There is much useful information available about how an application developer would use BlazeDS to implement their application, but there is a shortage of information about how BlazeDS is implemented. There are very general architecture diagrams, but no information on the actual network technologies employed. This information is essential for forming estimates of the server hardware requirements of a design. The alternative is to build the application one way, and then discover the performance characteristics afterwards.
For one feature of my application, the ideal structure would be to give the clients and mx.Consumer to receive non-polling stream of changes replicated from the database. In this particular feature, there would be no subtopics, each client would receive the same data. The question is would BlazeDS/Flex give each client 1 persistent socket to support the stream. If this is the case, then this design poses a very significant load on the server. It makes it easy for the developer, because he writes to only one topic, but if under the covers, the server is writing to one socket for each client. It will require a lot of hardware.
Or, to state the question another way, would BlazeDS/flex use multicast, when there is a client Consumer subscribing to a topic, with no subtopics?

I have just found one clear statement in the BlazeDS documentation with regard to sockets when streaming:
"The Servlet API uses blocking IO so as with long polling above, you must set a configured upper bound on the number of streaming connections you allow. Clients that exceed this limit are not able to open a streaming connection and will fall back to the next channel in their channel set."
BlazeDS Developer Guide, page 50.
This I did not expect, since non-blocking IO has been part of Java for over 5 years in the NIO package. If I were to deploy BlaseDS on an Intel sized box, I suspect the blocking IO would limit me to maybe 300 concurrent users. If this is true, it means that both streaming and long polling are unusable for almost any application on the public web.
Maybe the only option is to write a server in Java NIO that communicates with Flash Sockets.
Did I miss something?

Question about delivery....

not sure where to place this topic but.....im a 16 guy who bought an ipod touch 2nd gen and when i saw the faqs about the delivery....it says that only 18 and above can get the package....but my parents wont be here on the delivery date only me...so can i be the who gets the package or can they refuse to give it to me? well im the one who bought it so i should get it right?

Hi jcramos555,
Where did you buy it? Apple Store, right?
Also, what's delivery name you put for this order? Was it your name? If so, don't worry at all, you'll be able to get the iPod Touch, and you'll be the one signing for the package!
Hope this helps!

This is a very simple question about multi-channel audio playback

I have an mp4 file that i made and i made it 7.1 surround sound, and i'm pretty sure that this 7.1 surround sound works, as it can be played in VLC. i'm using netstream to load my files now. How do i make it so that flash can playback all 8-channels of sound? I suppose kglad would know the answer

Flash doesn't support multi-channel audio (yet?)

Question about Logic Channel EQ

When i use Logic Channel EQ to cut low frequencies of say, a kickdrum (in this particular case up to 200hz), the level meter on the channel increases quite a bit. I thought cutting frequencies is supposed to reduce the volume? Also there arent any other plug ins on the channel. Is this normal?

At it's default setting the low cut on the channel eq has quite a bit of filter resonance at the cutoff point. This resonant boost is what you are hearing. If you lower the Q all the way this resonance will be gone and you will get only the cut you are looking for. If you use the graphic analyzer be sure to set it to maximum resolution as it is quite misleading otherwise.

Question about audio channels in FCP

Because of the way audio was captured with a few clips in my sequence, the clips audio is only coming through one channel (speaker). The other channel contains nothing. How can I duplicate the channel with audio and assign it to the other speaker?

I did notice that. There are a small few of us on here.
So now that I've helped you out, bring me some Great Plains Sauce & Dough.

SOLVED: Bursting - Delivery Channel:null

Hi all,
Am getting an error in bursting as follows (in EBS):
Error!! Could not deliver the output for Delivery channel:null. Please check the Log for error details.
The PDF file is being generated and can be located and opened in the standard output directory but it is not getting emailed as it should.
This issue may be instance related as the same code is working on another instance.
Can anyone point me at where I should be looking to resolve this issue?
Many thanks,
Dave

Questions about Nokia Asha 501

before i buy I have some questions about Asha 501 please Answer them as Quickly as possible.
1. Is Asha 501 is a proper smart phone or a new shape of java?
2. What is Asha software Platform? is it proper operating system like Android.
3. will I be able to Install 3rd party apps from nokia store or from any random source ?
4. Can I expect some of the Nokia apps (that are exclusive for lumia series) will come to this platform. at least nokia music.
5. Will any software Updates will come as the time passes?
6. Will I be able to stream youtube or play flv videos?
7. last but not the least will I be able to Add VPN services.
thanks in Advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

many of your the questions are answered on this page: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/Asha_501/
The platform of the phone is Nokia Asha software platform 1.0.
The phone supports mobile Java (J2ME) apps and Nokia Web Apps.
Apps can be installed from any source though Nokia Store is of course the main delivery channel.
I would expect the key Nokia apps to appear on the phone sooner or later. Few apps like Nokia Nearby are supported since day one.
There will be SW updates for the phone, but few things have changed on this front compared to some older phones: now all SW updates are delivered Over-The-Air.
Video streaming from Youtube is supported.
There is no support for VPN current currently.

Questions about Indexing and Using an Indexing POA

Although I have only about 50 users, at least 15 of them have in excess of 100,000 messages in their accounts and the POA (version 7.0.2) is regularly slowing to a crawl. (I just know that plans for revolution are fomenting!) I have embarked on a campaign to reduce these accounts by archiving everything off to get mail accounts down to 3000 or fewer pieces. I have achieved user buy-in, but have worked on only a few users so far.
In another closely related thread, it was suggested to me that the PO speed issues relate to broken indexes. And I suspect that given so many messages, the indexes were never getting fully rebuilt with the default QF POA settings. I am trying to fix that situation in addition to reducing mail account sizes. So, I have set up a second POA on another server and dedicated it to the indexing task. The /qfinterval is set for 1 hour, other /qf switches at default. The POA-QF does no mail delivery, but it does do nightly user upkeep.
The POA-QF seems to be steadily working away and making progress at reducing the number of unindexed messages. However, I have questions about what I am seeing and what more I can do:
1. Is the progress I am seeing real progress? For example I have a user with over 100,000 messages to be indexed and every time I check the logs, the count drops by about 500 messages per hourly QF cycle. I assume that if I just let it keep running, it will eventually get caught up and fixed. Not only with this user, but with all the others as well. Will my patience (and theirs) be rewarded? Are there any gotchas I need to prepare for?
2. One user has recently had virtually all of her messages successfully moved to archive. I can see them in the Archive, and do not see them in the online account. However, now over a week later, QF still shows >130,000 items still left to index for that user. The POA-QF is making slow, steady progress reducing that number, but why is this user's QF count still so high? Does it just need more time, or is there something amiss for this user?
3. I may want to rebuild indexes for single users from scratch. I have seen the TID 3105742 which tells how to do this: Essentially you turn off mail delivery functions, and make some other switch changes to dedicate the POA to indexing for just a single user, and then you let the POA rebuild the indexes. The implication of that scenario is that the POA is now enjoying exclusive access to the user's databases.
If I want to use my secondary POA-QF to rebuild a user's index from scratch, does the main POA have to be offline and the user out of GWise? That is, Does the QF process require exclusive access in order to rebuild indexes from scratch?
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Set this switch for this indexing POA - /qflevel=999 - this will index
everything in one run. It will take a long time, but with no qflevel switch you
are indeed only indexing 500 messages at a time, and if the user has that much
mail, it might never really catch up.

This is odd, because really the index count should drop to nothing, but with the
above switch this might get resolved as well.

Not really - the POA is not enjoying exclusive access to the user's database,
the indexer is just avoiding an attempt to index anything else.

No - QF never requires exclusive access. That said, you may find that an
extremely vigorous QF can cause slowdowns for the user.

Questions about 3702i and WSM (WSSI)

I have several questions about the 3702i AP and the WSM that do not seem to be answered in the data sheets/documentation.
Any insight would be appreciated.
1. Is the WSM officially supported on the 3702 AP? The documentation seems to conflict on this.
For example, at the top of the WSM data sheet: "Flexible add-on third radio module for the Cisco Aironet 3600i or Cisco Aironet 3600e Series Access Points". Then later on in the page graphic shows the 3700 series radios too. I have found multiple pages that have similar conflicting information.
2. Can the WSM be used WITHOUT MSE and Cisco Prime? If so, are there any limitations?
3. How does the licensing work? Where is the license installed -- WLC, MSE, Prime? Do ANY of the features work without the license?
3a. How do you order the license? The SKU listed on the data sheet (L-WIPS-MM-1AP) is not a valid part number in CCW.
4. Is it possible to do sniffing with a WSM? (the idea being not having to dedicate an AP to sniffing, or taking down a client-serving AP to sniff)
Thank you.

Ok, so you are talking about off-channel scanning, which is actually a very short duration 50ms, that the AP is actually off-channel to scan.
http://mrncciew.com/2013/03/16/configuring-rrm/
Are you thinking of this bullet point?
Access points with wireless security module: The Cisco Aironet® Access Point Module for Wireless Security aggressively scans all channels without affecting the data-serving radios in the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands.
To me, that's just saying that the WSM is scanning and not interferring with the AP's normal radios.
HTH,
Steve

Some questions about a Time Capsule

Hi!!
I just have a few questions about a Time Capsule, but first let me explain the backgroud to my questions.
I live in a 2 floor house(including a basement) and my bedroom is downstairs. My parents currently have a desktop PC connected to our wireless router and our printer. Me and my step-father both have 13 inch MacBook Pros, and he uses the Mac like a basic computer, so the equipment connected to our PC is good for him. I, on the other hand, use my Mac, iPad and iPhone to their fullest potential. I am a SUPER MEGA NERD when it comes to computers, so I plan on making my bedroom an amazing office at the same time. So I want an AirPrint Enabled printer in my bedroom (Under 100$$) along with a Time Capsule to back up my information, because everyday I look around in the backdoor of my Mac alot, and if I jack anything up (And I cant handle the problem) I would like to restore my Mac to a previous version. So here are my questions:
1) My bedroom is right underneath our router, so i get GREAT Wi-Fi in my room. If I get a Time Capsule, can I use it in my room to extend my Wi-Fi, and how would that work? Will it extend my wifi under the same name, because I would like my own Wi-Fi (Titled to what I want with my own password)
2) If I have to create a NEW Wi-Fi network, how would I do that?
3) Would I need to connect my new printer directly to my ROUTER, or could I connect it to the TIME CAPSULE?
If you don't understand what I'm trying to ask (Even though I feel like it's self-explanatory)
ONE question about the PRINTER: Do any of you have any recommendations for an AirPrint Enabled printer under 100$? Even under-150$ would be okay.
THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!!

everyday I look around in the backdoor of my Mac alot, and if I jack anything up (And I cant handle the problem) I would like to restore my Mac to a previous version. So here are my questions:
Don't just depend on TM.. use a disk image type utility.. either one of the Mac tools, SuperDuper, CCC, Chronosync or even a linux boot cd (if you have a cd/dvd drive still or via usb can boot) a great tool is Clonezilla.. it will do basically any computer, Mac, Linux, Windows.. and since it boots into its own OS can restore a computer in a flash. Then you can add the incremental changes from TM.
1) My bedroom is right underneath our router, so i get GREAT Wi-Fi in my room. If I get a Time Capsule, can I use it in my room to extend my Wi-Fi, and how would that work? Will it extend my wifi under the same name, because I would like my own Wi-Fi (Titled to what I want with my own password)
Actually I am surprised you get good wireless as usually directly above or below a router is often the worst spot. Time Capsule cannot extend the wireless of any other router than Apple.. it is a special system and only Apple can join the club. It has bad effect though, if you set the TC to extend wireless it turns off ethernet ports.. which is hugely dumb.
The best arrangement is ethernet to the upstairs.. or EOP adapters. If not then a wireless router that matches the existing unit will generally be better than mixing apple and non-apple.
2) If I have to create a NEW Wi-Fi network, how would I do that?
3) Would I need to connect my new printer directly to my ROUTER, or could I connect it to the TIME CAPSULE?
You create a new wireless network by selecting manually the wireless channel and use different wireless name, ssid and security. There are 3 available channels on 2.4ghz.. your existing router will use one or two.. depending on if the setting is 20mhz or 40mhz.. so you need to manually set everything and not use auto.
TC is slow on 2.4ghz cf 5ghz and there are many more channels at 5ghz but not everything can use it.. iphone for instance is 2.4ghz only . whereas ipad can use 5ghz.. most full computers now can use 5ghz.
Buy a wireless network printer. Or alternatively an ethernet network would be also ok but now are more expensive than wireless ones. Network printers are not much more than straight USB and work much better.
I do not use airprint so have nothing to offer.. find the best HP model in your budget.. but others may have had more experience.. I use ethernet connected b/w laser business type HP.. they work great.. but airprint is too recent an innovation for me.

Two Questions about Airport Express

All, I am a recent convert to using a Mac so bear with me.
I have two questions about the Airport Express.
Question if I buy one in the USA, I will visiting this week on holiday,can I use it the UK with a UK adaptor/apple plug?
Can the Express be used with my current wireless network, using a Netgear DG834G V4, I have read lots in the forums about putting a $ sign in front of the WPA password?
Any help and advice gratefully received.

Yes, but at least two things to consider:
o The US version of the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) only supports radio channels 1-11 in the 802.11g radio mode. Channels 12-14, used in other countries outside the US will not be available.
o The AXn supports both the 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands for 802.11n. The 5 GHz band is restricted in certain countries (like the UK) so operating in this mode may get you unwanted attention.
That should be okay then because the Netgear broadcasts on channels 1-11. I hadn't appreciated the 5 Ghz band, but having checked both US and UK Apple sites the techspecs both mention 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz.
Can the Express be used with my current wireless network, using a Netgear DG834G V4, I have read lots in the forums about putting a $ sign in front of the WPA password?
If your intent is to have the AXn join the Netgear as a wireless client, then yes it should work. The "$" requirement was for WEP. This shouldn't be necessary for WPA or WPA2.
I intended to use the AXn as an range extender, but you mention wireless client, is that something different?
