    Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about  20 mins. Need to turn  off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.
    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • Need your help in Remodeling concept

    Hi Gurus need your help in time estimations
    I have a cube with data and now I need to add 10 new info objects to the cube which are including Date fields (BUDAT, BLDAT) these 10 fields will be populated to the cube from a Z table in ECC as we donu2019t have these fields in the cube we have to go for remodeling of the cube
    My client requires how much time it will take to complete this
    Now I want to know how much time it would take to do this (if any customer exits and user exits are required) and addition if new fields will have any effect on the current queries
    Please advice in this
    Thank you

    The time taken will depends on a lots of factor like server speed, available memory, background jobs etc. Apart from this, the time will also depends on how much the cube is filled i.e. the no. of records in the cube. Its very abstract to tell you the exact time taken for this. But, please make sure that you have the backup of the cube which you are going to re-model. T0 say, I think 3-4 hours should be ok for the remodelling.
    Thanks.

  • Need your help on performance issue please

    Hello everyone!
    I need your help to understand an effect I notice with a Thread class I built. I currently work on enhancement of my application Playlist Editor (see http://www.lightdev.com/page74.htm) and a new release will be available soon.
    Among other extensions the new release will have a title filter function which is based on audio data that is recursively read from ID3 tags of files found in a given root directory. The data collection is done by a CollectionThread class which reads into a data model class AudioDataModel and the entire process works fine, no problem with that.
    However, when my application is started for the first time the CollectionThread runs approximately 3 minutes to collect data from approximately 4300 audio files on an Intel Pentium M 1,4 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Windows XP SP2. When the application is shut down and started again, it takes only a few seconds to do the same task for all subsequent launches.
    I already tried to start the application with java option -Xms40m to increase initial heap size. This increases performance in general but the effect is still the same, i.e. first run lasts significantly longer than subsequent runs.
    I also tried to build a pool mechanism which creates many empty objects in the data model and then releases them to contain the actual data at is being read in but this did not lead to better performance.
    It must have to do with how Java (or Windows?) allocates and caches memory. I wonder whether there is a way to pre-allocate memory or if there are any other ideas to improve performance so that the process always only takes seconds instead of minutes?
    I attach the key classes to this message. Any help or ideas is much appreciated!
    Thanks a lot a best regards
    Ulrich
    PS: You can use the news subscription service at
    http://www.lightdev.com/dynTemplate.php4?id=80&dynPage=subscribe.php4 to be informed when the new release of Playlist Editor is available.
    All classes posted here do not need debugging, they already have proven to run error free. The classes are only posted for information for the interested reader - no need to go through all the stuff in detail - only if it interests you.
    My application calls class CollectionThread wich is a subclass of InfoThread. CollectionThread recursively goes through a directory and file structure and stores found ID3 tag information in instances of class ID3v11Tag which in turn gets stored in one instance of class AudioDataModel. All classes are shown below.
    This is the mentioned CollectionThread

    Hi Franck,
    thank you, mate. I did what you suggested (changed class attached) but that did not change the mentioned behaviour.
    The first run is approximately 75 seconds with Java option -Xms40m and approx. double without, the second run and all subsequent runs are only 2-3 seconds each (!!!) even when terminating and re-starting the application between thread runs.
    I'm pretty clueless about that, any more help on this anyone?
    Thanks a lot and best regards
    Ulrich
    PS: BTW, I forgot to post the class that is filled with data by class CollectionThread, so here it is

  • TS1702 I need some help the apps were downloading slowly

    The apps downloaded but it didn't cause it's stuck in downloading mode what should I do?
    The iOS 6 update didn't work.
    Please I need some help.
    The apps didn't download.
    Talking Angela and Ginger didn't download.
    Talking Santa didn't update.

    Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so that iTunes has to create an entire new file.  The backup file is located here. You can delete that backup once you get a successfull backup.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)

    Hi there,
    I'm suddenly in need of help with my Firefox browser (6.0.2)
    (OS: I use Windows XP).
    When I open up the browser, all I see is a completely blank white screen, with all the toolbars at the top.
    I know that my physical connections are fine: I've tested the modem, turned the pc off and on etc. and I can also receive/send emails.
    This problem started today, 8th September, 2011 and has never happened before.
    Is it a coincidence that Firefox updated itself just before I logged off yesterday evening? Could it be something to do with this particular new update?
    I've also noted that just before I "open up" Firefox, I now get a small box saying:
    [JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION]
    Exc In Ev handl: TypeError: This oRoot.enable is not a function
    This has never appeared before - I hope it offers a clue a to what is wrong.
    The Browser is not stuck in Safe Mode, by the way.
    Obviously, I can't search for any solutions to the problem on the internet, as I can't physically see any websites!
    (A friend is sending this query on my behalf from their pc)
    Any light you could throw on this confusing problem would be much appreciated. I'd rather not have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox if possible.
    If the only option is to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it from your site, then I'm also in trouble (I can't see the internet or make any downloads).
    In that case, would you be able to send the .exe file as an attachment to my email address? If so, please let me know and I'll give you further details.
    Many thanks in advance.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
    See:
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto.  I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them.  I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows.  I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years.  Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge.  180GB plus.
    I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive.  For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge.  The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows.  What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
    If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient.  If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward.  However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto.  In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases.  If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
    Some guidance and insight would be appreciated.  I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later. 

    Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
    Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
    Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
    For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
    Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
    The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
    Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
    The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
    When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
    These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
    So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
    So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

  • Letter/report generation...morgalr, i need your help!!

    may i know the details or some sample source code of how to generate the html and import it to MS Word...i need your help urgently...may i have your email to contact u?.....please help, it is urgent!!!

    You need not use an applet to write an HTML file, any application file will do fine, actually applications may be prefered due to system security and file creation. Basically the html files are just text files using HTML. Look at any book on HTML and you will be able to get the style and form down along with the syntax.
    As for calling MS word, do a search on the web for a product called JPrint. It is done by a company called Neva and they also have a product called "coroutine". It is coroutine that you want. Coroutine is a native level interface for Java to Comm. The docs that come with coroutine should be saficient to get you going on the project.

  • I want to get iBook, Facebook and Skype to my iphone 4.2.1 through my iTune, but I coudn't because it is said that it requires a newer version of iOS. Please I need your help. Thanks

    I want to get iBook, Facebook and Skype to my iphone 4.2.1 through my iTune, but I coudn't because it is said that it requires a newer version of iOS. Please I need your help. Thanks

    If your iPhone can't be updated to a higher iOS version then the only way to get them is if you downloaded versions of them which were compatible with iOS 4.2.1 and you still have copies of those versions somewhere e.g. on your computer or on a backup - only the current version of each app is available in the store, and as apps (and other content) are tied to the account that downloads them, you will need to have older copies that are linked to your id

  • I've just came on board from Andriod and need massive help with the Contacts application any one out there willing to help the 'noob'?

    I had the folks at the store port over all of my contacts from my old
    ratty Andriod phone to my new shiny iPhone.
    however all 200+ of my contacts sort of "shook" out,
    meaning say John Smith, on my old phone,
    had in my contacts the following:
    John Smith
    123 Main St. Anytown, Anystate USA
    555-826-4879 home
    555-799-4247 cell
    [email protected]
    johnsmith@facebook
    all nice and neat on my andriod but when it ported over
    all that information was just scattered all over my contacts sort of like:
    john smith, smith john
    john smith 123 main st. etc.
    johhn smith home 555 etc.
    john smith cell 555 etc.
    john smith johnsmith@ etc.
    etc.
    so for all those 200+ contacts in my phone, I've got a zillion of them now...
    so I'd like to get this all back in order before I and Siri explode.
    I know nothing, and I know even less about outlook and the sort.
    But I do know I am in Dire need of help with this... I figured that eveything else
    involving iphones and apple in general was supposed to be cake but it seems
    like this is the only thing that isn't cake at all... unless, I'm just a right idiot. (which is possible, hence spelling and grammatical issues).

    I believe I've tried to sync it with google, but it didn't seem to take
    muchless take my calender. it seems to favor my facebook calender
    more over my google calender, but Siri seems to be helping me re-write
    it...but that's not the game here, it's the contacts. I've tried to export
    the cvp (??) list and import it into my iTunes account. However, It only
    doubled my issue because it didn't over write my existing contacts.

  • I need Fusion help creating a demo of BRM JCA Resource Adapter

    I need Fusion help creating a demo of BRM JCA Resource Adapter.
    I know BRM well but am clueless with Fusion.
    I am trying to figure out what Fusion products to download and install and how I manipulate the Fusion side to manipulate BRM.
    My BRM docs say:
    Installing the BRM JCA Resource Adapter ->
    Software requirements
    (yada yada install a bunch of BRM stuff I know how to do)
    The adapter must be deployed on a J2EE 1.4-compliant application server that has implemented the JCA 1.5 specification. The adapter runs only in a managed environment. (Does this imply some particular Fusion package?)
    (more yada yada about installing more BRM packages I know how to do)
    Deploying and configuring the BRM JCA Resource Adapter ->
    Overview of the BRM JCA Resource Adapter configuration procedure
    The procedure for setting up the BRM JCA Resource Adapter includes the following tasks:
    Installing the adapter on your BRM system, if you have not already done so. See Installing the BRM JCA Resource Adapter.
    Generating the schema files for the adapter. See Generating the schema files for your system. (links to some BRM commands np)
    Specifying how to construct XML tags. See Specifying the XML tags for extended fields. (links to an oob file included with directions on how to address BRM customizations np)
    Generating the WSDL files for the adapter. See Generating the WSDL files for your system. (links to an oob file with directions to configure. I could use some help if/when I get this far)
    The last two look pretty important but I haven't a clue. I pasted the text from the docs below.
    Deploying the adapter on your application server. See Deploying the BRM JCA Resource Adapter on an Oracle application server.
    Connecting the adapter to the BRM software. See Connecting the adapter to BRM in Oracle AS.
    Deploying the BRM JCA Resource Adapter on an Oracle application server
    The adapter is dependent on Java Archive (JAR) files to deploy properly. The following table lists the JAR files that the adapter requires from each application in your system.
    Application
    JAR files
    J2EE application server
    classes12.jar, connector15.jar, and jta.jar
    Oracle BPEL process
    bpm-infra.jar, orabpel-thirdparty.jar, orabpel.jar, and xmlparserv2.jar
    BRM J2EE Resource Adapter
    pcm.jar and pcmext.jar
    Apache
    xercesImpl.jar
    If you are deploying the adapter in a standalone Oracle Containers for Java EE (OC4J) instance, make sure these JAR files are available to the class loader that is loading the adapter.
    If you are deploying the adapter by using Oracle SOA Suite, these JAR files are available as part of the oracle.bpel.common code source. You import these libraries as follows:
    Open the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/config/applications.xml configuration file for the J2EE instance.
    Add the oracle.bpel.common entry (shown in bold below) to the imported-shared-libraries section of the file:
    <imported-shared-libraries>
    <import-shared-library name="adf.oracle.domain"/>
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.bpel.common"/>
    </imported-shared-libraries>
    Save and close the file.
    Restart the application server or the J2EE instance.
    After you make the JAR files available, deploy the adapter on the Oracle application server by using either the Oracle Application Server (Oracle AS) Application Server Control (ASC) or the Oracle admintool.jar file. Copy the adapter archive file (BRM_home/apps/brm_integrations/jca_adapter/OracleBRMJCA15Adapter.rar) from the installation directory to a location that is accessible to the adapter deployment tool. You can then open and deploy the archive file on your application server.
    After successful deployment, return the applications.xml file to its original settings and add the oracle.bpel.common codesource to the BRM Adapter oc4j-ra.xml file:
    Open the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/config/applications.xml configuration file for the J2EE instance.
    Remove the following oracle.bpel.common entry (shown in bold below):
    <imported-shared-libraries>
    <import-shared-library name="adf.oracle.domain"/>
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.bpel.common"/>
    </imported-shared-libraries>
    Save and close the file.
    Open the JCA Resource Adapter oc4j-ra.xml file from the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/application-deployments/default/BRMAdapterDeploymentName directory.
    Add the oracle.bpel.common entry (shown in bold below) to the oc4j-connector-factories section of the file:
    <oc4j-connector-factories...>
    <imported-shared-libraries>
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.bpel.common"/>
    </imported-shared-libraries>
    <oc4j-connector-factories>
    Save and close the file.
    Restart the application server or the J2EE instance.
    For more information about deploying the adapter, see your application server’s documentation.
    Connecting the adapter to BRM in Oracle AS
    You connect the adapter to the BRM software by creating connection pools and connection factories. As part of the adapter deployment, the application server creates oc4j-ra.xml from the packaged ra.xml. The ra.xml file is located in the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/connectors/AdapterDeploymentName/AdapterDeploymentName/META-INF directory. For example, Oracle_home/j2ee/home/connectors/BRMAdapter/BRMAdapter/META-INF/ra.xml.
    Use the resource adapter home page from the Oracle AS ASC page to create connection pools and connection factories.
    Create your connection pool by following the performance and tuning guidelines in Configuring Connection Pooling in OC4J in Oracle Containers for J2EE Resource Adapter Administrator's Guide. See download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28956/conncont.htm.
    Make sure you set the pool’s Maximum Connections parameter (maxConnections XML entity) equal to or greater than the Oracle BPEL process manager’s dspMaxThreads parameter. For more information, see Oracle BPEL Process Manager Performance Tuning in Oracle Application Server Performance Guide for 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) at download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/core.1013/b28942/tuning_bpel.htm.
    Note To set up JCA Resource Adapter transaction management in BPEL, you must create a private connection pool and set its Inactive Connection Timeout property (inactivity-timeout XML entity) to 0. See About JCA Resource Adapter transaction management in BPEL for more information.
    Create as many connection factories as your system needs. For each connection factory, specify the following:
    The JNDI location for the connection factory.
    The connection pool to use.
    How to connect to BRM by using these entries:
    Entry
    Description
    ConnectionString
    Specify the protocol, host name, and port number for connecting to the BRM software. For example: ip Server1 12006.
    DBNumber
    Specify the database number for the BRM database. For example, enter 1 or 0.0.0.1 for database 0.0.0.1.
    InputValidation
    Specifies whether to validate the input XMLRecord:
    True — The adapter validates the input XMLRecord against the opcode schema.
    False — The adapter does not validate the input XMLRecord.
    The default is False.
    This overrides any other validation parameter specified in the WSDL file.
    OutputValidation
    Specifies whether to validate the output XMLRecord:
    True — The adapter validates the output XMLRecord against the opcode schema.
    False — The adapter does not validate the output XMLRecord.
    The default is False.
    This overrides any other validation parameter specified in the WSDL file.
    LoginType
    Specifies the authentication method:
    1 — The adapter logs in to BRM by using the specified login name and password.
    0 — The adapter logs in to BRM by using the specified service type and POID ID.
    The default is 1.
    UserName
    Specifies the login name the adapter uses for logging in to the BRM software.
    Note This entry is required only if LoginType is set to 1.
    Password
    Specify the password the adapter uses for logging in to the BRM software.
    Note This entry is required only if LoginType is set to 1.
    PoidID
    Specifies the POID ID. This entry should be set to 1.
    ServiceType
    Specifies the service the adapter uses to log in to the BRM software.
    The default is /service/pcm_client.
    You have successfully configured the adapter to connect to BRM.

    Apache
    xercesImpl.jar
    If you are deploying the adapter in a standalone Oracle Containers for Java EE (OC4J) instance, make sure these JAR files are available to the class loader that is loading the adapter.
    If you are deploying the adapter by using Oracle SOA Suite, these JAR files are available as part of the oracle.bpel.common code source. You import these libraries as follows:
    Open the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/config/applications.xml configuration file for the J2EE instance.
    Add the oracle.bpel.common entry (shown in bold below) to the imported-shared-libraries section of the file:
    <imported-shared-libraries>
    <import-shared-library name="adf.oracle.domain"/>
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.bpel.common"/>
    </imported-shared-libraries>
    Save and close the file.
    Restart the application server or the J2EE instance.
    After you make the JAR files available, deploy the adapter on the Oracle application server by using either the Oracle Application Server (Oracle AS) Application Server Control (ASC) or the Oracle admintool.jar file. Copy the adapter archive file (BRM_home/apps/brm_integrations/jca_adapter/OracleBRMJCA15Adapter.rar) from the installation directory to a location that is accessible to the adapter deployment tool. You can then open and deploy the archive file on your application server.
    After successful deployment, return the applications.xml file to its original settings and add the oracle.bpel.common codesource to the BRM Adapter oc4j-ra.xml file:
    Open the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/config/applications.xml configuration file for the J2EE instance.
    Remove the following oracle.bpel.common entry (shown in bold below):
    <imported-shared-libraries>
    <import-shared-library name="adf.oracle.domain"/>
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.bpel.common"/>
    </imported-shared-libraries>
    Save and close the file.
    Open the JCA Resource Adapter oc4j-ra.xml file from the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/application-deployments/default/BRMAdapterDeploymentName directory.
    Add the oracle.bpel.common entry (shown in bold below) to the oc4j-connector-factories section of the file:
    <oc4j-connector-factories...>
    <imported-shared-libraries>
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.bpel.common"/>
    </imported-shared-libraries>
    <oc4j-connector-factories>
    Save and close the file.
    Restart the application server or the J2EE instance.
    For more information about deploying the adapter, see your application server’s documentation.
    Connecting the adapter to BRM in Oracle AS
    You connect the adapter to the BRM software by creating connection pools and connection factories. As part of the adapter deployment, the application server creates oc4j-ra.xml from the packaged ra.xml. The ra.xml file is located in the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/connectors/AdapterDeploymentName/AdapterDeploymentName/META-INF directory. For example, Oracle_home/j2ee/home/connectors/BRMAdapter/BRMAdapter/META-INF/ra.xml.
    Use the resource adapter home page from the Oracle AS ASC page to create connection pools and connection factories.
    Create your connection pool by following the performance and tuning guidelines in Configuring Connection Pooling in OC4J in Oracle Containers for J2EE Resource Adapter Administrator's Guide. See download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28956/conncont.htm.
    Make sure you set the pool’s Maximum Connections parameter (maxConnections XML entity) equal to or greater than the Oracle BPEL process manager’s dspMaxThreads parameter. For more information, see Oracle BPEL Process Manager Performance Tuning in Oracle Application Server Performance Guide for 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) at download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/core.1013/b28942/tuning_bpel.htm.
    Note To set up JCA Resource Adapter transaction management in BPEL, you must create a private connection pool and set its Inactive Connection Timeout property (inactivity-timeout XML entity) to 0. See About JCA Resource Adapter transaction management in BPEL for more information.
    Create as many connection factories as your system needs. For each connection factory, specify the following:
    The JNDI location for the connection factory.
    The connection pool to use.
    How to connect to BRM by using these entries:
    Entry
    Description
    ConnectionString
    Specify the protocol, host name, and port number for connecting to the BRM software. For example: ip Server1 12006.
    DBNumber
    Specify the database number for the BRM database. For example, enter 1 or 0.0.0.1 for database 0.0.0.1.
    InputValidation
    Specifies whether to validate the input XMLRecord:
    True — The adapter validates the input XMLRecord against the opcode schema.
    False — The adapter does not validate the input XMLRecord.
    The default is False.
    This overrides any other validation parameter specified in the WSDL file.
    OutputValidation
    Specifies whether to validate the output XMLRecord:
    True — The adapter validates the output XMLRecord against the opcode schema.
    False — The adapter does not validate the output XMLRecord.
    The default is False.
    This overrides any other validation parameter specified in the WSDL file.
    LoginType
    Specifies the authentication method:
    1 — The adapter logs in to BRM by using the specified login name and password.
    0 — The adapter logs in to BRM by using the specified service type and POID ID.
    The default is 1.
    UserName
    Specifies the login name the adapter uses for logging in to the BRM software.
    Note This entry is required only if LoginType is set to 1.
    Password
    Specify the password the adapter uses for logging in to the BRM software.
    Note This entry is required only if LoginType is set to 1.
    PoidID
    Specifies the POID ID. This entry should be set to 1.
    ServiceType
    Specifies the service the adapter uses to log in to the BRM software.
    The default is /service/pcm_client.
    You have successfully configured the adapter to connect to BRM.

  • I Need Dire Help Making a Flash Form

    Hello, I need some serious help creating a Flash Form.
    I Have used a template from another site with the following
    input boxes:
    Name: __________
    Email: __________
    Comments: ____________
    However, i had the script working fine, along with its php
    script,
    when i was trying to add more "text" boxes, i must have
    messed the script up somhow.
    When I submit that form, the name is send and email, but the
    email is blank.. ie, there is no "comments"
    here is the code:
    on submit button:
    on (release) {
    // send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
    // to email PHP page which will send the mail
    form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
    sent email messege
    onClipEvent(data){
    // show welcome screen
    _root.nextFrame();
    and the php script (mailer.php)
    php form email.pho
    <?php
    * PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more
    * information on the mail() function for PHP, see
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
    // First, set up some variables to serve you in
    // getting an email. This includes the email this is
    // sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email
    // should be. It's a good idea to choose your own
    // subject instead of allowing the user to. This will
    // help prevent spam filters from snatching this email
    // out from under your nose when something unusual is put.
    $sendTo = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "My Flash site reply";
    // variables are sent to this PHP page through
    // the POST method. $_POST is a global associative array
    // of variables passed through this method. From that, we
    // can get the values sent to this page from Flash and
    // assign them to appropriate variables which can be used
    // in the PHP mail() function.
    // header information not including sendTo and Subject
    // these all go in one variable. First, include From:
    $headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ".
    $_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";
    // next include a replyto
    $headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
    // often email servers won't allow emails to be sent to
    // domains other than their own. The return path here will
    // often lift that restriction so, for instance, you could
    send
    // email to a hotmail account. (hosting provider settings may
    vary)
    // technically bounced email is supposed to go to the
    return-path email
    $headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];
    // now we can add the content of the message to a body
    variable
    $message = $_POST["message"];
    // once the variables have been defined, they can be included
    // in the mail function call which will send you an email
    mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
    ?>
    If anyone can see why the "comments" section is not being
    sent?
    Also: My original problem was how do you add more text boxes.
    I want something like this:
    Name:
    Address:
    Phone:
    Mobile:
    Email:
    Website:
    Comments:
    Ive spent days and days trying to work out how to first make
    a form that actually works, then add more text fields
    Ive looked at many basic form tutorials, but they all seem to
    only have 3 or 4 text fields.. Name, Email, Comments... etc
    I haven't a clue how to edit the script both in action script
    and php to add more fields easy.
    I really need some help with this, its turning into a
    nightmare for me.
    I can provide someone with my .fla project file if they care
    to take a look at what im doing wrong.
    Thanks
    Pan
    ps. Please note: "$sendTo = "[email protected]";" =
    this line i know i must put in my own email.

    This is all about timelines. It seems there is a movieclip
    named 'form' (or possibly an actionscript object, can't tell). Any
    variables created on that timeline are sent.
    So you could have your new textfields on another timeline.
    Or you could have textfields with no instance name in the
    form timeline.
    Those are the first two things to look at. Post the FLA and
    we can tell you more specifically.
