Pls help to find a good source for technical OWB overview

Hello Guys,
I am starting a new job soon where OWB is a major commercial tool to build DW/DMarts with the Siebel Analytics, SharePoint, Oracle Discover and other Front-end reporting systems. I have never been used this tool before. I do have 10 years of hands-on DW experience with terabytes DB using PL/SQL/C/Informatica/Unix scripting based on the star/snowflake schemas and Multidimensional DB in Oracle RDBMS/Essbase. Could you pls recommend me some sources(books, manuals, forum and etc) where I can get a technical overview/architecture of OWB. I think the covered topics would be:
plug-in, visual interface vs scripting, APIs, all available ETL solutions, restart ability, error handling, data models can support, performance issues, cross vendor product evaluation and etc. What would be the best source to start it for person who has a solid understanding of DW but do not have hands-on experience with OWB?. Thanks in advance Dina

Hi Dina,
...the best Source for Infromation is still here ;-)
I´m working since 3 Years with the OWB, in different Versions and i think

So, if you´ve an explizit Question, post and post and post :-)
Documetations you can also found here :

Finding A Good Source for Free GUI Menu Code

Instead of writing everything from scratch, I am looking to find basic code already written that would be a good foundation for my own GUI. Anyone know where to get this? THANX

Maybe didn't make myself clear enough. Not by a long shot, and I'll be happy point out why.
A guy would think that since most applications have GUIs that there have
been many templates already written.Have you tried searching for any? Didja find a whole wealth of 'em?
I don't want just a simple menu. I want a comprehensive layout with
popups and all kinds of bells and whistles.I quote, from your very first post (emphasis mine): "I am looking to find basic code". Your second post indicated you were looking for a "sample layout". Hopefully you're able to see why you needed to clarify.
I would never hire anyone because I have
always coded my solutions entirely by myself. I do
like to borrow code to get a jumpstart. Someone already pointed out the contradiction here, so I won't dwell on it other than to say that if you can write basic Java code, you can add some of these "bells and whistles" yourself to some "basic code". If that's above your head, then super-special-fancy source code isn't going to help you - you won't know what to do with it.
That is what I was looking for. Putting a menuitem in a menu is
pretty simple.Yes it is. And if you can do that, you can add some "bells and whistles" (I still haven't guessed what those are - maybe if you ask for a specific example, we can provide one). If you're looking for standardized code that helps you make your menu extra-fancy, it's called the API. Find a "real-live" menu that does what you want and try to recreate it. Go give it a shot, and come back when you have questions.
Maybe I'll try asking in one of the non beginner forums. I don't think that's a real good idea for you, but hey, give it a whirl since you're apparently too lazy to Google for an answer yourself.

PLEASE HELP ME FIND A GOOD CAR PLUG FOR MY iPHONE

Alright guys, I have been through 3 different plugs to connect my iphone to my car to play music, and I am a bit ticked. So i figured I would ask the Apple Discussion Boards so you guys can tell me the best audio/charger combo for my iPhone. Here is what happened with each of my previous plugs...
The first one was just a regular ordinary headphone plug that plugged from my iphones headphone slot to my car's auxiliary slot. It worked for a while but then the audio only started coming out through the right side of my car speakers occasionally, and I know for sure it is not my car that made the problem because my radio and CD's play fine through both speakers.
The second one is a "Kensington LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit with Remote for iPod and iPhone". First off the remote that it came with didn't work properly. But here comes the worse part that is so annoying. This problem got progressively worse by the way.... a lot of times the plug would think that it unplugged itself for some strange reason and the music would stop as well as the charging, but then 1 millisecond later it would think it was plugged back in, and although it starts charging again, the music doesn't play again until I press play. Don't tell me to make sure it is plugged in securely because trust me my friends, I have tried everything possible to get this to work. Keep in mind I am driving...so it is a very bad idea to be messing with my phone to press the play again. And lately it has been getting so bad that I actually have to unplug the plug from my iphone and then plug it back in and press play, which is incredibly annoying. This happens about once a minute OR MORE now a days. Also, it makes a really annoying "whirrling" sound whenever I am using it. By the way, I even turned Airplane mode on, and the exact same problems still happened. So a summary of this: this audio/charger combo is a failure.
My 3rd plug I decided to try a normal headphone to aux plug again like the first except this time by a better brand, Griffin. But oh wait, the exact same problem happened that the first one had.
Ok guys, so what I really want for you to do for me is PLEASE HELP ME FIND A GOOD CAR PLUG FOR MY iPHONE.
Here is what I am looking for in my plug:
Plays music through my car's speakers AND charges at the same time;
I would prefer if it wasn't an FM transmitter because those tend to lose audio quality compared to direct plugins, unless you know of an amazing FM transmitter where you don't lose audio quality;
And finally, I want my plug to ACTUALLY WORK WITHOUT GLITCHES
Also, it would be nice if the plug that you refer to me, you actually own, so I know that you have tested it out before and that it works great.
Any HELP would be very much appreciated, thank you.

i thought about going the same route you did, but when I started looking at the prices of everything, I decided it was a better idea to just get a new stereo that can play and charge my iPhone.
After a lot of comparing, looking and price checking, I decided to go with the Alpine IDA-X100. This is a media player only device (no cd player built in) and it has been great. It has an awesome interface and dial setup that let's you go through your music just as if it were on an iPod. It even has a small color screen that displays the album artwork for you. My car has a factory BOSE system in it and the Alpine head unit even managed to improve the sound quality. Go see you local alpine dealer (or best buy) and check it out. The supplied cable charges the phone and plays music too. Your iPhone will give you an error message when you plug it in, saying that the accessory was not designed for iPhone, but if you just click no it works great.

Where can I find a good tutorial for mobile game developement with J2ME ?

Hi All,
I'm completely new to J2ME programming. But I have past experience on J2SE developement. Now I would like to know that where can I find a good tutorial for mobile game developement with J2ME ?
I'll be very greatful if I can find a useful step-by-step tutorial (eg. "The Java Tutorial" for J2SE)
Please point me ot the direction.
Thanks
ZuriJAckshoT

ibook-widgets.com have a free tutorial book in the iBooks store. Search for "Create your first interactive book using iBooks Author" they also sell widgets.
I dont have any connection - I found their eBook in the store long ago and used it to learn more about iBA.
The best advice though, is be patient, go back over the process step by step, I cannot access the Help files for some reason.. but i am sure its in their.

Good source for learning - SQL Stored Proceedures using Dreamweaver

I am looking for a good source for learning how to integrate
Stored
Proceedures using Dreamweaver?
Is there a book or something online?
Thanks

Hey Lee,
You find yourself in that position, I find myself in that
position, every
damn developer/programer in the world find themselves in that
position. It
may be on different levels, but everyones in the same boat.
Here is my suggestion. Take the existing knowledge you have,
pick a
technology that is a bit more futureproof (if the one you
have is getting
outdated) and one that isn't too far removed from the one you
know and put
it all into that one area.
Databases are really important if you want to be a decent web
developer. If
you're serious and want to be good then devote time to a
particular database
and get to know it well. I would suggest SQL Server. You
don't have to be
DBA standard but get as much knowledge on it as you can.
Never underestimate
your required knowledge of databases.
Set yourself goals. Say to yourself "In 6 months I want to be
a proficient
developer in this language" and go for it. Don't get
side-tracked into
something else just keep focused on one area and get good at
it. Yes, that
language will become outdated in time but you will be all the
more ready to
take on the next because of your past experiences.
I try to look at it like this; It is better to a master of
one technology
and know enough to get by in others than a Jack of all
technologies but a
master of none.
Pat.

Hi,
you need to be more specific. What is your setup?
Obviously, what you need is a command parser. Look this article for the basics. I know it is meant for RT but the concept is there.
Not sure it will help with so few infos: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/CD63FD0F746B17A686256F090065F572

Good source for quality album art

A good source for getting good quality album art, which has a higher resolution than Amazon, try http://www.coveralia.com/ which eventhough it is in Spanish, simply type the artist in "BUSCADOR:" at the top, and it is obvious from there. I've been using it for five minutes, and looks impressive. My iPod has not arrived yet, so cannot test that part, but I assume it will work as it goes into iTunes ok....

This is the same as copy & pasting from Amazon, which has lower quality. As long as you own the CD, I think you are OK. Anybody else able to comment.

Good Source for SATA HDD enclosures?

I am looking for a good source for hard drive enclosures for my MB Pro hard drive. I have upgraded mine, and I want to have access to my old one?

I've never bought one myself, but I have heard Other World Computing recommended. You probably would want to look at a firewire SATA with the Oxford 11+ chipset (I'm not sure of the chipset number--it could be higher). With the firewire enclosure, I think you can also make a bootable clone for your Mac. Hopefully you will get recommendations of what to buy as well as where to buy. But OWC is a good place to start.
Good luck!

Please help me find a good MP3 tagger for Mac

I have switched to Mac.
I am now organizing my music properly, with Lyrics, Art, genre's, etc.
iTunes does a good job at some things for tagging but not others. I used to use some good apps on Win XP but they dont work on Mac.
Can someone recommend good taggers for Mac please.
I want to get rid of/edit comments (iTunes doesnt work good on this), art, lyrics etc.
cheers

the loc-man wrote:
yeh iTunes does that, but not for comments, if you import a CD, the comments in iTunes does not show. if you take the file and look in other programs, or in windows there are comments there.
iTunes has a comments field which shows when you do multiple file edits so I'm not really sure what the difference is.
are there any discount codes for media rage?
Discount codes? Don't know what they are either or where you'd get them.
Also it looks like I cannot pay by Paypal for Media Rage, I prefer this as dont know the company, any ideas?
See if your credit card company will give you a single use number. Many will. I had no problem with the company when I bought Mp3 Rage from them, though.
Best of luck.
