Might go for T400/500- Many questions concerning Think Vantage

Hi,
I am deciding on my first IBM, a T400 or T500
I have a few questions concerning the Think Vantage Function:
a) Does the recovery DVD set back the hard drive partitions to factory settings?
b) Does the Think Vantage function set back the hard drive partitions to factory settings?
This means the original size of the partitions, when they have been changed manually.
c) Does Think Vantage work with a self buyed Windows Vista?
d) Does Think Vantage work unter Windows XP
e) Does Think Vantage need drivers/ anything else to work or is it entirly working on the hardware side, so no software/ windows is needed
f)Will Think Vantage work under Windows 7 in a T400/500
g) How was the past situation? Did a under Windows XP working Think Vantage also work on Vista / have there been drivers delivered, when needed, for the new OS
h) Is it possible to set up a new OS (like Vista Ultimate) and then backup it up on a external hard drive and later recover from this?
What do I want to achieve?
I want to recover the factory settings at all times, this means partition size, number of partitions etc. and Windows Vista Business. Then I want to install Vista Ultimate do my settings and backing it up to an external drive or whatever and then recover from that all 3 Months. In the end I should be able to set back factory settings with the earliest/ first backup from Windows Business; Furthermore I might want to install Windows 7 sometimes.
Thank you for your help! Kind regards

Conditional for a text input box NOT being null? Sorry for asking so many questions!

Okay, here's the situation. I'm creating a simulation of a form on which there are several text input boxes, 7 of which are mandatory fields. I know I can use a conditional to check whether the box has nothing in it by creating a null variable with no value and doing "if [box variable] is equal to [null variable] then", but the problem is that the validation captions I need to show need to be shown in order, that is to say that the caption for entering a value for the first box will always be shown if that box is null regardless of the contents of other boxes, the second will be shown if that one is null and the first one isn't etc.
When I was investigating this I noticed a post by Lilybiri saying that comparison with a null variable doesn't work for "not equal to" so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to show the captions based on priority. For example, to show the second caption I need to not only check whether the second box variable is null, but also whether the first one isn't.
It gets pretty crazy further along the line where I get to the 7th mandatory field and need to check whether the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth boxes are NOT null and whether the 7th one IS. Help!
I did come up with one potential solution to this prior to posting: if I set a different advanced action for each input box losing focus which checks whether the variable is null and if so sets a "flag" variable to 0, and in the else set it to 1, I imagine I can then replace the "not equal to" with a check to that flag variable being equal to 1 (which means there is text in the box). I think this will work but I thought I'd check to see if there's an easier way first.

No it DOESN'T require everything to be on one slide. It just has to LOOK as if that's what it is.
I would suggest that it doesn't really matter how many Captivate slides are involved in the final solution, as long as it works the same way (or as close as possible) to the original software that you are simulating. Your users don't frankly know or care how you achieved the simulation. I guarantee they won't be thinking of you or Captivate.
In my experience, you can make creating elearning a lot more difficult than it needs to be in Captivate by trying to rebuild the app, rather than just simulating how it works. For example, thinking that if everything happened on one web page or screen in the app then it must also happen on a single slide in Captivate. The fact of the matter is IT DOESN'T need to work this way. And in some cases it might even be impossible to reproduce in Captivate this way.
So the quickest path to a solution is often to use multiple slides, which has the advantage of allowing you to "fix" certain things on screen (e.g. the contents of fields already visited) by using READ ONLY variable output in transparent captions, focusing only on one element of the interface that the user can interact with on that slide. It doesn't necessarily prevent you from moving back and forth between elements, just as you can in the original app. But it is far easier to create and maintain.
I'm not saying you wouldn't be able to pull this off on one slide in Captivate, but it is going to require a LOT of variables and Advanced Actions to build and debug. So the term Rapid Elearning becomes something of a misnomer if it takes you a long time to complete one slide.

Adding a vidio card for a hp palviloin 500-023w what is compatibale for me how many slots ?

adding a vidio card for a hp palviloin 500-023w what is compatibale for me how many slots ?

Brule01, welcome to the forum.
There are two main things to consider when adding / upgrading a video card: 1) the wattage required to run it properly and 2) the length of the card.
Most newer mid-level video cards require at least 400W to operate properly. The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is 300W. Therefore, to add a discrete video card will require a PSU upgrade, as well. A card that will work with the existing 300W PSU will not be much, if any, better than the Integrated Video. I recommend at least 500W (600W would be good for future upgrades). I like OCZ and Corsair PSU's. They are very good quality.
The video card has to be PCI Express x16 and it can be a double card. The double cards only use one slot, but because of the width they may cover a second slot making it unavailable. This is normally not a problem for most users. Your computer case is mid-size. Therefore, I recommend a card that is no longer than 9". This will assure that it fits into the space provided. You can choose a card and get the measurements. Then, you can make a cardboard template of it to see if it will fit. You should add 1" to the template if the card has additional power connector/s. I like XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY cards in that order. This comes from spending many years on enthusist / gaming forums.

Apple noob ipad2? - many questions, can you help?

hi, i have many, many questions. if you could answer at least a couple and let someone else answer others, i would be so grateful! thank you!
i'd like to get an ipad 2. i'm very crippled, disabled, and desperately in need of a *good* tablet. since i am very very poor, it will be nearly impossible for me to do this. first of all, is there any way for someone like me to obtain a new ipad; a contest, a charity, anything like that? i hate to ask, but i'm nearly quadriplegic and will be completely at some point. i've tried some cheap tablet pcs and they were all horrible and returned. i cannot afford the $329 for the cheapest ipad 2, so i surely cannot afford one w/ more storage. i need to know if ipads are equipped w/ removable storage, such as a micro or standard SD card. are they? i would have to get the cheapest ipad 2 which i believe has 16gb of storage. i'd want to be able to store onto an SD (or other) media or i will eventually fill up the space.
i do see that it has bluetooth. can i transfer apple files to a pc via bluetooth? is that possible since my old, old, defunct, barely functional pc is running win7? any pc i'd transfer to would be MS windows. i will always save in a windows compatible format. i just do not know if i can transfer files from apple to pc, as well as if i can transfer via bluetooth from apple to pc?
i'm concerned about having to pay for apps. i live way below the poverty line and have no friends or family to assist w/ anything - not that i would dare ask! i'm on my own and this would be a once in a lifetime purchase that would have to last me "forever". i heard an ipad user say something about the first gen ipad becoming "obsolete" and that you cannot upgrade an ipad; you have to buy a new one. is that correct? if i could get an ipad 2 (i'd *love* the retina display but cannot afford it - so just the standard ipad 2), will it be useless at some point - a few years from now?
are there many *free* apps? such as, can i install a Netflix app to watch on the tablet for free? or listen to a free radio app? or is there a cost for *every* app? forgive me, i have limited use of my neck and cannot hold my head up or use my arms much, so this post is all i can do. i cannot go searching through available apps.
bc of my physical disabilities, i am desperately in need of something extremely lightweight that will last me a very long time. in addition to the cost of apps, are there any other operating costs, other than my internet service, for which i need to be aware of before diving into All Things Apple?
if there are any charities or foundations that assist people, disabled or not, in obtaining an ipad 2, please give me link(s) and/or info. due to my disablities and financial situation, a very good tablet is my only option. i cannot sit up vertically at all sometimes, or if i can, for only a limited time. i cannot turn my head to view a monitor. ergo, i need something that can be used in a very reclined position. that rules out everything but tablets.
i *think* that SIRI would be a good way to do things via voice recognition. i'm not sure of "her" capabilities, however. is there voice recognition accessibility built into iOS? i cannot always use my arms, so i need to be able to speak to do communications. some of my doctors *only* communicate via their secure email service. they will not accept calls to the nurses at all. this is a huge problem for someone that cannot look at the screen due to its position, or type the email. i really need voice recognition so i can communicate! if it's not built into iOS, is it an app? what price?
i would also need the smart cover and a keyboard. i have to have the stand, as i am unable to hold the ipad up - remember that i am in a reclined position at all times. i would likely put the ipad w/ the cover as a stand on my knees (bent and upward), and then need a keyboard on my abdomen. are the keyboards wired or wireless? if wired, how long is the cord? i would need about 2.5-3' in length to do this.
i have an HDTV that was a gift (THANKS!). does the ipad 2 come w/ a standard HDMI or other connection cord to connect directly to the tv? or does one need to purchase "apple tv" or some other type unit to view and use on the tv screen? (in which case, a keyboard w/ cord would not work, would a wireless keyboard work about 8-10' away?).
if my old printer works, i will have to connect it to the old pc - running windows. will i still be able to print w/ airprint, even tho the printer is connected to a windows pc? very much need ability to print, especially for medical and financial concerns. do not have wifi printer and cannot afford one. will it work?
can i use my google account and its settings - will apple sync w/ chrome?
how much is the warranty and for how long may i purchase it for? I would want the longest one. i was able to see that it said you can make 2 warranty claims. is this correct?
can i upgrade iOS? is there a charge for it, as in windows? can i use other programs such as photoscape (freeware vr of photoshop) or another browser (such as dolphin)?
does it have GPS? may i use it at no charge? i'm homebound, so this is not a big issue, but if i survive the many major surgeries, i *hope* i can get out again!
i really need some help. i cannot communicate with people! i'm new to apple and do not know anything about these things. please forgive me for the very lengthy post and so many questions. any and all information would be quite helpful! please remember that i *cannot* go searching around sites to find this information. this post alone has taken over 2 days to write.
thank you again, and i appreciate your time!
tiff TIFFANYDW2 at yahoo dot com

thank you so much IIP glad to hear someone vouch for a refurb. youre right, i cannot afford anything apple. i was hoping to find a foundation that helps disabled ppl that need to communicate. i really REALLY need to know if there's voice recognition in the iOS, or even a good free app.... idk. as you said, i looked at refurbs and even the same model as the cheapest new ipad 2 was $400. :/ only diff i could see *i think* was that it was wifi and cellular - and i only need wifi. perhaps the reason the refurb was as much as the new w/ only wifi?
prob w/ laptop pc - cannot use arms much, esp to pick up a laptop, and cannot carry one around. even an ultrabook (which is a trademark) or other light weight is over 3lbs and i cannot do that. i can barely do 8oz (for a drink). ergo laptops are out. ultras / light weights are way too expensive. they also come w/ friggin win8. the starting range of those are much higher than the starting range of ipad.
i guess i'll have to look into a samsung galaxy 2 tablet, android, upgradeable, if i cannot find a way to get the ipad. advantage of tablet pc over apple / ipad is big time w/ warranty. so that is my 2nd choice, since the price just went down tonite actually at my WM. (no lectures! i have to buy there, cannot afford local biz's!)
i'm using a laptop now, old one, borrowed, win xp. i cannot move it at all. it's soooo heavy! i've not weighed it but would not be surprised if over 5lbs. ergo my posts take forever to write and it's very hard for me as i cannot be in a reclining position to use it. due to my spinal diseases, it's complicated. i have to move around at least every 20-30min while awake, or 45-60min while trying to sleep. not to be confused w/ mobility or ability to hold head upright/ at all, or use of arms. spinal disease is entire spine now. just found out that peachy news recently.
so you see a laptop wont work. i've spent months and months trying to find a laptop that i *could* use. not possible.
pro's of tablet pc: less than 1/2 the price, and no q's asked, no charge, 2-3 yr drop/spill/anything accident or manufacturing defect. will get one w/ android, upgradeable. tons of free apps.
cons: much less performance, and nothing near the quality of ipad in any way. even the cases are not as durable as ipad. wont get anything w/ windows on it, so have to make sure it's an android. many android models *do not* have VR (voice recognition) installed. hard to find *free* *good* VR app. have to use mSD card. hard for someone w/ very limited use of arms and would have to mess around w/ that little tiny thing w/ messed up dexterity.
pro's of ipad: DURABLE, still unclear how long it'll last as far as upgrading iOS and available apps. great OS and software/apps. compatible in many ways w/ pc. *better* features in all ways than tab pc.
cons: no idea if disability accessibility w/ VR installed or free app that is *free* and *good*. price more than 2x as much as decent tablet pc. warranty is crap. i cannot afford it and it's only 1 yr and doesnt cover accidents. have to buy more expensive compatible accessories like case/cover/kb.
either way, i have to find help for purchase of either kind and accessories and prob good VR software/app. at some point, i will be 100% quadriplegic and unable to communicate - that's an absolutey firm prognosis. at this time i am 80% incapicated - meaning 80% of a 24hr period i am completely incapcitated. i wanted to get VR set up on pc, but cannot sit, even in recliner, and look at monitor due to position of body and therefore having to turn head, hold weight of head on neck, and entire spine issues. so i was going to set it up, as i thought i had no choice (which i wont have likely sooner than expected), and then i got laryngitis and had *no* voice at all for 35 - THIRTY FIVE!! - days! been ~2+ mo now and it still goes out. crazy! advice: if you lose your voice, SHUT UP or you'll never get it back. i'm not kidding!
so things arent working out well at all for awhile. *shrugs* such is life.
this reply has taken me many trips (and hours) to the old laptop and i cannot hold my head up or use my arms anymore tonight. so
KING PENGUIN - i will have to read and reply to you tomorrow (USA). sorry!
thank you IIP! tablet pc is back in my options. that choice was just made a few hours ago when my "servant" (lol, my bff, he's so sweet!) came by and went shopping for me so i could get some food! yummy! there are too many cons to tablet pc, but it appears, at this point, that it's going to be my only choice.
k, my head's falling off! i tell ppl i have a "dislocated head" HAHA and my mom thought i was serious. :/
THANK YOU!!!

Many questions...advice? iPad 2 == iPad Air in France

I have a 16 GB iPad 2 WiFi and am planning to buy a 32 GB iPad Air WiFi + cellular
I'm in France, but will probably be moving to the US next year.
Many questions, any answers appreciated!
-I don't have a computer...my laptop committed suicide, and I got the iPad to tide me over, and found that I really don't need anything more. Is there any problem transferring my apps and data over, or do I have to repurchase stuff? It's backed up on iCloud.
-related question...is there a good way to get music I've got on various iPods (I've got 3 of the old tiny ones) onto the iPad (again, no computer)?
-will I be able to buy an iPad Air in France and use it in the US with just an adaptor, or do I need to buy a completely different power cord?
-it looks like if I get the WiFi + cellular version in France, I need to sign a cellular contract. Does anyone know if this is actually the case, or if I can buy one contractless, use it WiFi, and worry about the cellular part later? Again, if I take it to the US, will I be able to add a US cellular contract later? Or am I stuck with whichever country I bought it in?
-is there a good way to easily trade in or sell my old iPad? French power cord, etc. Earbuds died. Has it got any value?
-if I buy a 16 GB iPad Air can I add memory later, or should I go for 32 GB right off the bat? I spent a bunch of money for extra iCloud storage, only to discover that it didn't mean I could keep more movies downloaded, and so it wasn't useful and I canceled it. Am I correct in assuming that I probably want the 32 GB this time around?
-I don't have a printer, but I'd like to get one. What I really want is cheap and nasty, good at printing black-and-white, easy set-up, no expensive supplies. Recommendations? Or what to definitely avoid?
-is there a good reason to buy from the Apple Store as opposed to a general electronics retailer?
-I currently use the SmartCase, but I'm thinking to change to a SmartCover because of the weight.
Except for not covering the back of the device, do they basically function the same?
-I don't like the available Apple case color options (they are the icky pastel colors of cheap Japanese blenders! Why?)...
Are there any cases from other manufacturers that are equally or even more functional but have other colors?
If anyone has any recommendations for indispensable accessories that you really love, please tell me!
Also, the 2 annoying points I've noticed are (1) a bunch of stuff is only available through FlashPlayer, and (2) can't attach multiple documents to emails. Are there any changes here, or am I missing an
easy workaround?
Merci beaucoup!

As long as you use the same Apple ID on both the devices you can share apps and content that's been downloaded from Apple.
If the music on your iPod came from iTunes you can redownload it. If you synced it onto your iPods as music ripped from cd's etc then I don't think you can get it off the iPod, or if you can the only way to do that is with a computer.
You will only need a plug adapter, the power brick should work on world wide power.
I don't have a cellular iPad but if you get one that's wifi only you can later look into something like a Mifi, a portable battery operated wifi hot spot.
Selling your old iPad should be relatively easy although you might need to knock off a few bucks for the french power plug. Just make sure that you erase all content and settings before you sell it so they can get int it and so that your data is removed.
THe memory isn't upgradable so buy the memory you'll need because what you buy is all you have.
Any wireless printer could work. If it's air print enabled then you're good to go. If not you can look for apps by the printer manufacturer or there are plenty of third party printer apps that enable wireless printing.
You don't have to buy from Apple. In fact, places like Best Buy offer really great accidental damage protection that can be even better than waht Apple offers. In addition, third party places may have other perks, such as free covers or gift cards towards accessories, etc. So shop around.
The only thing to remember, if you choose to buy Apple Care Plus it's best to get it when you buy your device.
As far as I know there's no huge difference between the smart case or Smart Cover. If you're shopping for cases then I'd suggest Amazon. Widest and best selection out there, and even if you don't buy from amazon, you can see who's got what.
THe accessory I can't live without is my Zagg Folio, it's a case and wireless keyboard that turns my ipad into a mini computer. A stylus can also be helpful if you find the screen hard to maneuver around but not necessary.

Question concerning executing of sql

Hallo,
I have a question concerning the execution of sql-statements.
I have a database and different applications that work with this database. When I now have a session and this session sends statements that should be executed.
I want to ensure that the application can not execute all statements. What I want is a possibility that before a statement is executed there is a warning.
Is there something in oracle database. Something that I can tie down to a table or a view.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have a question concerning the execution of sql-statements.
I have a database and different applications that work with this database. When I now have a session and this session sends statements that should be executed.
I want to ensure that the application can not execute all statements. What I want is a possibility that before a statement is executed there is a warning.
As per my understanding see, Does your application is executing the series of Queries directly from the Frontend environment for Calling any Stored procedure to do the necessary Job.
In case of queries, then say try to use some schema, where and what ever you want to keep the restrictions on certains table / Access grant respective Rights to some role and assign to the required schema.
So, In case if you want restrict some thing make your application to connect with respect user.
Else the above option is not possbile from your end then I think at table you can not restrict or raise any alerts or warnings, until the user don't have access to table. Other check with DBMS_ALERT, yoy might find any relavant thing for your problem.
If you are using stored procedures, then you can able achive that, that Send an Additional parameter Is_Access or Is_Executable. This parameter send the boolean values true or false or 1 or 2 as per your checking feasibility, at code level, make sure than when ever you need send the warning send appopriate boolean value and which return the message from stored procedure (out parameter ) to application and will not execute the Code, If appopriate Boolean value is send from application call , then perform the Business transaction as per requirement.
If I am missing from your requirement perspective, then I am sorry...

Question concerning WiSM operation

I have a question concerning the operation of the wireless network and the WiSM in a 6500 that we have put in place. My customer has the following setup: On thier mainsite, they have a core 6500 with a WiSM module in place. They have 4 remote sites, with several APs at each remote site. Each remote site is setup in an all Cisco environment, where its typically AP --> cisco switch --> fiber to main site cisco switch --> core --> then on to where ever. I have an engineer telling me this, that whatever wireless data traffic (internet, anything) that hits the AP (at any site), it must go THROUGH the WiSM module. I would have thought that the WiSM module would be for ONLY management of APs, not for data traffic handling.
Again, he says that ALL traffic (internet, etc) goes through the WiSM module, then on out through the infrastructure.
I would have thought that traffic would go through the AP only, then through the infrastructure.
Can you verify wheather data traffic from any wireless device through the AP actually traverses the WiSM module or not?
Again, I thought the WiSM module would be only for management of APs. Thanks.

The engineer is largely correct. By default, the APs will tunnel all traffic to the controller to be distributed according to VLAN/SSID. The controller and the AP work together to perform the normal wireless <-> wired bridging. This allows some flexibility in how the infrastructure handles mobile clients. There are many benefits to the Cisco Unified model (or LWAPP).
We have three hospital campuses and only a couple remote wireless sites. They are all well-connected. As all our primary app servers are on one campus, we only have controllers on that one campus. The client traffic is bridged at the main campus.
The Cisco Unified model does offer other modes of operation (H-REAP for example) that allow some local traffic to bypass the controller and be bridged by the AP to the local LAN. There are some caveats to this, however, and you'd want to read up on it before trying it:

T400 SSD Upgrade Question Do I need a new drive caddy? My machine shipped with a 1.8" drive.

I'm planning on upgrading to a larger SSD in my T400. It originally shipped with a 1.8" 64GB Samsung SSD and I'm probably going to upgrade it to a 2.5" 7mm Samsung 840 (non-pro) SSD.
I'm not sure if the current caddy in the T400 is going to fit the new SSD, or if I'll need to purchase the 2.5" caddy. If so, does anyone know the FRU # of the caddy I'll need?

Dreamweaver cs6 suite development questions/concerns

Hello,
I am new a new creative cloud subscriber. I have past experience with programming a java environments and SQL. I am new to HTML5/CSS3 and have read a book on the subject to understand the design concepts in effort to find a good environment to develop mobile applications. I like what I see using fireworks to create HTML5/CSS3 to create code for more complex objects/elements.
Additionally, watched all the videos and am ready to roll up my sleeves and get started. As I have watched the videos and goggled allot of forums regarding DM CS6 and web applications I have a few questions and concerns. I will preface this with the understanding that this involves new features/ technologies and will suffer some growing pains.
Questions/ Concerns:
1) Fluid Grid Layout tool:
Can I create a mobile application with this tool that will work on both tablets and smart phones (not desktops) compiling a single optimized site using the phone gap tool; or do I have to create 2 separate site and compile?
2) Phone Gap
I have read that there are allot of issues with compiling applications. Even watching the adobe road show video, they could not get it to work (yikes).I have also read that I phone product code need to be compiled using xcode(tools); needed to have an apple subscription (which I have access to) What are the known issues compiling mobile applications for the different device platforms?
3) Sever-Side Mobile Applications
a) As I understand it, this cannot be accomplished with this environment without a web service that communicates to the server-side scripting/ Database server.
b) Reading about local storage, what are the limitations and how do they effect mobile applications if there is more complex scripting and large record sets?
C) Are there ways to create user/ security roles (I would imagine the integrity issues with security would be staggering)?
4) Responsiveness
I have played around DM, I have noticed it crashing and being very sluggish. I know its not memory or processing issues as I have read several posts on the topic.
It seems that adobe is making it easier to design and develop within one product/suite. These tools seem very powerful. The direction makes sense as I like elements of both development and design. I am concerned that I will hit walls and want to avoid banging my head. I am still new to this environment and the mistakes may be mine. With that being said, do you think Adobe will get these issues resolved out and have a great environment and development model.
Thanks in advance for the light anyone can shed on these subjects as I am eager to get started (but a bit worried).

Hi
To add to Davids reply -
Item 3:
Are you talking about apps. or web pages on mobile devices, (they are not the same thing)?
If web pages then the server/database side is no different to a normal web page which does require a server supporting these. As for local storage, (works whilst off-line) this is normally done via javascript and a local database, but I would not use this feature for anything too complicated as the database is stored on the users computer/device, and only 'communicates' with your server/database when the user is once again on-line and connected to your web page.
As for item 3.c. - Doing this for off-line use is a complete waste of time, as the user has access to any encryption code and the database entry's, which they can then use when on-line again. A simpler solution would be to require just the users credentials and store this locally, (still not ideal, but at least all the users DB is not downloaded).
Regarding item 4. Some users have reported problems, but for me personally 99.9% of them I have not experienced with the release version of CS6, and performance issues for me all vanished when I upgraded my PC to an i7 processor with 16Gb memory, an extreme solution for many I admit, but your computers speed and memory will have a dramatic effect on the user experience.

Merge/Refresh Workspace: Question concerning conflict resolution

hi!
thank's so far for answering our last question,now another question popped up during developing :)
we now have a state with our application where the user can select which objects to merge/refresh and finally commit these changes.
if there have been any conflicts he had to select a resolve operation for them. so far so good.
now, our method that performs the merging looks (no surprise) something like that: (the numbers are markers, used later on)
(1)
beginResolve();
do a few resolveConflicts();
(*) commit;
commitResolve();
(2)
(3)
do_merge/refresh_operations_of_death_in_correct_order();
(4)
ok, first question is concerning the line with the (*).
it seems we cannot call commitResolve() when there is an open transaction? as we run a spring managed application we first had it that way, that all of the above lines were executed within on transaction (that is, the complete merge/refresh operation going from (1) to (4)).
that didn't work, as we got exceptions on commitResolve(), that there is an open database transaction. is that because of the transaction wrapping the complete method? or did we do something else wrong?
now we split the method in two parts: one for the conflict resolution ((1) to (2) and one for the rest ((3) to (4)), both running within a transaction now. that works.
however, I feel a little bit unsafe with that, questions are:
if the first part runs in an own transaction and is commited: does the commitResolve() actually write data? or is that just something temporary on a per-session base? because, if something fails in the second part ((3) to (4)) then the transaction of that part of course rolls back fine, but the result of the conflict resolve part is probably still there? could we then, somewhere in the exception handling of the second transaction, call rollbackResolve()? or does it always have to happen within a conflict resolution session, that means, within (1) to (2)? the docs state the latter, but we're not really sure.
if something fails for whatever reason during the actual merge/refresh part, we need to make sure, that everything is rolled back to the state before
starting the whole process. it would be very dangerous to have some resolved conflicts hanging around that get merged/refreshed sometime later when the user doesn't even think about them.
btw, we also found the docs a bit inconsistent concerning conflict resolution. at some point it is explained, that after calling the resolveConflicts() a commit is needed, at another point this is left out and it is said, that one would just need to call commitResolve() afterwards and THEN a commit. it seems only the first explanation is correct (with another commit after the commitResolve()).
so, if you could clarify a bit on how a conflict resolution + merge/refresh session should look like concerning the management and scope of transactions, that would be really of great help and highly appreciated! the first tests worked fine with the way we have it working right now, but we always feel like there's a huge pitfall hiding somewhere ;)
best regards,
Andreas

Hi Ben,
after your explanation I agree. As the workspaces only carry the difference information of course there actually is no data in the child workspace if the object has been deleted in the parent.
I guess for the first we should not display this object to the user except when he's attempting to do a refresh, but not for a merge (or the other way round if the delete was done in the
child and NC in parent).
We didn't realize there is a rollbackTable with a WHERE clause, quite nice! Still, nothing practicable for us as we can't really know when a user might want to undo a delete and thus
which savepoint to use.
Reinserting would work, yes. We even tried that once for another scenario. Though in our case it would be important that the object also gets the same PK again, which is possible but still
feels like an ugly hack :-) Anyway, back to topic.
For the second scenario I was unfortunately mixing some WM and our users' terminology, thus it was not 100% clear. Sorry for that. What I meant was the following:
1) create new object in child
2) merge this object to parent
2a) DIFF is clear now, everything OK
3) goto parent workspace, new object is there
4) modify the new object there
5) goto child workspace again
6) open differences-viewer of our application <- here I wrote the users do a refresh, I meant they are >planning< to do a refresh, but not actually did it yet
OK, at point 6) we now get the diff information from the DIFF view and have an U for the parent and an I for the child. After your explanations and thinking over it some time we realized, that
this of course is totally correct: the last change in the parent was the update, the last change in the child the insert.
As the current version of our differences-viewer more or less displays the information from the DIFF-views in a straight way, the user now sees, that the object was updated in parent and new/inserted in child,
because those are the last operations for this row in both of the workspaces. That's what I meant is not intuitive, especially if they did not do all the operations themselves like in our small example and within
the timespan of 2 minutes.
It seems, we have to build some more abstraction around our current process?
To us it seems there are two solutions to this "problem", correct us if we oversee something:
1) currently synchronization within our application is directional, so either merge or refresh (except for conflict resolution, where the user might also want to decide to keep the object from the target workspace)
Thus we simply can ignore the DiffCode for the target workspace, except for conflicts, where we easily get the information from the CONF views
EDIT: no, we cannot simply ignore the target diffcode :( After some more thinking we have the same problem as with a real bidirectional synchronization process.
2) on the long run we actually planned to provide a bidirectional merge-tool to the user. In that case it's not that easy, as there is no single target workspace.
We didn't go into details yet, but probably we would need to retrieve further information, like e.g. the change timestamps for the DIFF rows for child and parent?
Then we could see what was actually the last change and display only that (except for U/U conflicts, but then again we get that information from the CONF view)
Any hints on how to do something like that the best way?
EDIT: We think it boils down to the question: how can we know, which parts of the DIFF have already been handled in a merge/refresh before and which haven't?
And another question, this time concerning the original topic: conflict resolution.
Is it possible in some way to ignore conflicts during a merge or refresh? Our users will definitely need that. The only idea we came up with yet would be again to use a savepoint (as you suggested
already concerning error rollback), that is have a savepoint (e.g. for the last time the workspace was synchronized) and then "fake resolve" the conflict (use CHILD with resolveconflicts) but do not
include the row in the following mergeTable() call. After merging has succeeded, use rollbackTable() for that row to the previous savepoint. Would that work?
Thanks again and regards,
Andreas Schilling

Nub question concerning threads.

I recently completed my first Comp Sci. class in Java and have decided to try to continue learning on my own. I am now trying to make a pong game, using a turorial. Unforunately my course did not cover threads in any way, shape, or form. I am able to get the beginning of the program to work (code posted below) and have no problems with it; however, I do have a few questions concerning what certain elements of the code do.
1. Can someone please give a definition of a Thread in "Dummy" speach? I've looked up definitions and I can't seem to really grasp what they are and what they are used for.
2. In my program there are two lines (32 & 79) where the thread priority is changed. Can someone explain what that means and how it affects my applet?
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class BallApplet extends Applet implements Runnable
     //Declare variables to change posistion
     int x_pos = 10;
     int y_pos = 100;
     int radius = 20;
     boolean rWall = false,
     //The second image of the ball
     private Image dbImage;
     private Graphics dbg;
     public void init() {}
     public void start()
          Thread th = new Thread(this);
          th.start();
     public void stop() {}
     public void destroy() {}
     public void run ()
          Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
          while(true)
               while (rWall == false )
                    if (x_pos == 700)
                         rWall = true;
                    else
                         x_pos= x_pos + 5;
                         // repaint the applet
                         repaint();
                         try
                              // Stop thread for 20 milliseconds
                             Thread.sleep (20);
                         catch (InterruptedException ex)
                             // do nothing
                         // set ThreadPriority to maximum value
                         Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
               while (rWall == true)
                    if (x_pos == 0)
                         rWall = false;
                         lWall = true;
                    x_pos = x_pos - 5;
                    repaint();
                    try
                         Thread.sleep(20);
                    catch (InterruptedException ex)
                    Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
     public void update(Graphics g)
          //initialize buffer
          if (dbImage == null)
               dbImage = createImage(this.getSize().width,this.getSize().height);
               dbg = dbImage.getGraphics();
          //clear screen in background
          dbg.setColor (getBackground());
          dbg.fillRect (0, 0,this.getSize().width,this.getSize().height);
          //draw elements in background
          dbg.setColor (getForeground());
          paint(dbg);
          //draw image on screen
          g.drawImage(dbImage,0,0,this);
     public void paint (Graphics g)
          g.setColor (Color.red);
          g.fillOval(x_pos - radius,y_pos - radius,2*radius,2*radius);
}Thanks for any help, it is greatly appreciated.

Questie,
Please control yourself. Please.??
As the program runs it is one thread. (You canthink
of each thread as an independent program if youlike.
This is not 100% accurate but close enough that
it
might help you understand)
It will only confuse the OP
You are a flat out wrong for a number of reasons.
1) You seemed to miss the part where I did say that a
doubling in peformance is fictious and is dependent
on a number of factors.As i was telling that would only confuse the OP.Its better to be 100% precise when you explain to an OP
2) You don't understand how a multi-process OS works
in the least.Assumptions as usual
3) You don't understand how processors work in the
least.Well,what was i saying?
2 and 3 are important because your point about
context switching is not valid. First of all because
this happens anyway because your program is not the
only thing running the processor. Second because of
the first point each thread gets a timeslice, you may
with multiple threads each get a timeslice and these
slices may (and often do) add up to more total time
then the first got by itself.When you consider a solution to a problem the average and the worst case has more weightage than the best case.You are taking the best case assumption here-"because ofthe first point each thread
gets a timeslice, you may with multiple threads each
get a timeslice and these slices may (and often do)
add up to more total time then the first got by itself".Now dont stop whining that you werent.Never take the best case always coz its the average and worst case which checks if the system festers to a condition beyond rectification
For example (these numbers are fictional but I am
trying to explain it so don't go off all half-cocked
again please)
Program with one thread. Each thread gets 100 cycles
per second.
Program with four threads. Each thread gets 50 cycles
per second.
The second program will finish in half the time as
the first. Because even though each thread is slower
as a whole the program is getting twice the cycles
of the processor as before. You are taking the best case again and moreover its the cpu scheduling algo which decides the time slice and not you sitting on the CPU.I have a vague feeling that you have an idea that you are sitting on the CPU deciding the Time Slice.
You need to understand something important here. Alot
of the time when you are doing things in a program,
and this doesn't just apply to IO here, you don't
have to use the processor for each step. There is
some shifting around of things to get them ready to
be executed by the processor. A more advanced
representation of this is to be found with
Hyperthreading. Hyperthreading processors (single
core) are of course single core but they act as if
they were multi-core (multi processes) because while
only one process is actually executing at one time
the others are pipelined in such a way to make sure
that the executing core of the processor has the
least amount of idle time possible.Digression
So that means on a basic processor each time you add
2 numbers it takes 5 steps. And the processor core is
idle 80% of the time.
From where did you get that 80%?Stop coming up with your own numberes.This is no number game
So for example while some data is being placed in the
outbox new data is also being collected and is at
step 2 already. In this model while we are still on a
single core the core is now idle only 60% of the time[b]From where did you get 60% now
So yes threading is very useful for IO and other
operations that may block your program but they have
more use than just that. Parallel execution can and
will have some performance advantages (if designed
properly) even on a single core processor without
hyperthreading. In a well written multithreaded
program when you add hyperthreading and multiple
cores or multiple processors to the mix then you
really have something.I never said it wont.Read properly what i have posted.I told dont take the best case always.You need to consider that too but the other two carries more weightage
Please don't feel you ever have to post to correct me
again thanks.^^
Get ride of this self conceited attitude.Even if you have it dont make it public.Its not that you are always right cotton.I am not saying that you are wrong.If you have read my first reply i mentioned that i knew that you gave that example just to make the OP understand.The problem with that is that if the OP is unable to fathom out what you mean he is going to misconstrue whatever you have said and that propogates

Creating a Booting 2.5" HDD in UltraBay for T400s

I have a T400s with a 1.8" HDD. I know eventually it will fail.
1.8" HDD are rare nowadays and not cheap compared to 2.5" drives. Same applies with 1.8" SSD. I don't want to spend a lot of money on a 250GB SSD nor install another 1.8" 250GB HDD.
What I want to be able to do is install a 2.5" HDD in the Ultrabay HDD Adapter from which the laptop can boot from. I created restore/recovery disc when I first got the T400s.
My question is how can I install windows 7 pro from the recovery disc onto the new 2.5" HDD. There are two possible ways that I can think of but not sure I would encounter some problem that would prevent me from accomplishing this.
Option a) put the 2.5" HDD into a external HD enclosure and connect it to the USB port. Insert the recovery disc in the DVD drive still in the ultrabay slot. Install Win7 onto the 2.5" external usb HDD. remove from ext hdd enclosure and using the Ultrabay HD Adapter install the 2.5" HDD into that slot.
Option b) put the 2.5" HDD into the Ultrabay HD Adapter and insert it into the ultrabay. Connect an external usb DVD drive to the T400s and place the recovery disc into this ext dvd drive. Boot off of this ext.dvd drive and then install win7 onto the 2.5" HDD inside the Ultrabay slot.
for option "b" I'm not sure if I can boot from off a usb connected dvd drive. I know on netbooks you can but not sure if I can on a T400s or if the bios somehow won't let me.
for option "a" I think I can but not sure if windows will let me install on a the blank non-formatted external usb connected hdd??
has anyone done either of the two options above?
thanks.

Well if you are ambishous and willing to forego the warranty you can take the lead this user did. Its not a Thinkpad but the issue is the same. The standard height SSD would not fit. You can make it fit.
Read the article further in this link. http://windowssecrets.com/newsletter/some-ugliness-installing-an-after-market-ssd/
This should help a lot of users wishing to super charge their 400's.

I have many questions, I have called Support, they refuse to forward or give me Tech Support See Be

Hi,
I have many questions, and have had a very frustrating time to get in touch with the correct person.
I have called support twice, both times even though it was a technical question about cloud, they refused to forward my calls and told me there is NO technicall support for Cloud and that I have to place my questions here in the forum.
I am CONTINUALLY told to change my password, 2 and 3 times a week. I am a sysAdmin, my passwords are a MINIMUM of 13 Char/UP/Lower/Number/Special Combo, always have been. They work out to a 100% approval in any algorythm checker.   Yes, I was one of the persons who had their password stolen which has caused me a tad bit of inconvenience, but such is life.   Is This Normal? I have gone on twitter a few times to verify the emails, I have got them so often.
My "Cloud Sync" Hasn't worked since PhotoShop's Site Closed, I know this beause I stored my 20gigs of files, .ai, and .eps, .psd eveything that I couldn't move to Revel (which btw, I never got a refund for having to purchase the revel account 20gigs, when photoshop was closed, which also was never refunded.)
I actually wasn't too worried about the cloud issue because I only work at home, if I go somewhere else.. work's not going with me
Since about three weeks ago and currently I am having NOTHING but problems with cloud, The errors in my Event Log are NUMEROUS

manifest for x86/64bit at both dll files compiled so I cannot review their content.
However it should be noted at this time, I did not invoke Dreamweaver, the Cloud did, and this is not the first time.
This particular error occured 5 times in 3 seconds.
Same two errors at 3:49pm on the 28th.
Today, I went and bought a new solid state drive. Brand New Fresh OS, Downloaded Cloud, CC, and of course The Edge Products, which I dearly love btw.      Everything seems to be working fine, EXCEPT,
1.) where did CS6 Products Go?
2.) Why after being a Faithful Product User/Cloud Supporter for the Last two years, after going through all the trials and tribulations with Adobe, am I being asked to renew my license for a "One Time Per Year Fee" which is MORE than my monthly amount? ( deal: 599.80; payments at 49.95 per month is 599.40 Go Figure? ) So, I'm being asked to pay the same amount, make it a single payment and get half the software, litterally. Did I miss a paticularly important anouncement?
3.) EVERYONE OF MY IRREPLACABLE FILES IN MY CLOUD ALL MY AI FILES, are gone. Yesterday, it would seem My having the SYNC TURNED OFF was over-ridden by the system (Adobes) and they have upload 'garbage' files, and my original files, the caligraphy files are no longer there. My gorgeous image of a little boy with flowers is no longer there. I PAID ALMOST A GRAND for these files. Stored them on Adobe, because, well, you deal with images, so you're the best right, that's why I bought extra storage on photoshop.com, then was told I would have to move to revel, but not the ai, eps, or pdf and i don't remember about png's. files, so I moved everything to revel (purchased the extra storage there.) AND put everything on the cloud and turned off my file sync. Not everyone is an idiot, maybe something is turned off, there's a reason for it, how dare someone override MY SETTINGS. They could have emailed, called, chat, google chat, irc, or snail mailed me, it's pretty easy to get my attention.
I could just cry.
lost my files,
asked to pay one time instead on monthy, and there's not even a discount and no additional incentive. Lost the ability to work without having to be connected to the internet, which will be delimited here very shortly since I'm on comcast.
and the worst, the very absolutely worst part is this is the SECOND time in a row now, I've had an issue with Adobe that has gone on for over a year while support TELLS ME A PAYING CUSTOMER, that 'gee, sorry, no support for cloud" , "No I can't forward you to a tech" (direct quote) and "The Only support for any cloud issues is the forum"
How can I handle this in the future, my nerves just can't take it anymore. Seriously, I'm just shaking now I'm so upset about this and I really hate writing something like this, or airing issues in public that really should be, imho, private.

Hi Ken,
Wow, I've logged into adobe and never seen your response until now.
I need to make the forums more of a daily stop I guess.
Thank you for your response, When I go to the Archives, it states I have none. In addition, previously when I'd tried to move items to the archive, they just disappeared
Currently my desktop is not connecting at all, Everytime I connect, it's states "We have now logged you out" and requests I login again.
I have of course rebooted,
Gone into taskmanager, killed all the relevant threads, tried again to login through the desktop, no luck, I'll have to uninstall it, make sure the threads are killed, then reboot it and then reinstall it, but I've not had the time to do that.
On another note, and just as a point of reference, myself, personally, I hate these "cloud" file repositories (not to be confused with adobe cloud services which I love) but the file repositories themselves imho, are a blackhole of resource usage when one doesn't/isn't using them,
Is there a way we can use it more of a "ftp" sort of thing, when I want to I can put files there? There is no way to "Download" the repository, no way to download the folders.. only individual files and then it takes I think three different steps before the download starts.. I find this very inhibiting. Just an fyi. for what it's worth.
Please, feel free to contact me,
I'm on g+ chat [email protected]

Might go for T400/500- Many questions concerning Think Vantage
