Scale out question: how does instance name affect primary/secondary node

Hi:
OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4, Windows 2008
On a test instance the following happened:
1. Enterprise install of OBIEE 11g had problems
2. Reinstalled OBIEE 11g, but the installer created an instance2
3. All was well with this install
4. Performed all necessary shared catalog and RPD steps
5. On a second server, installed OBIEE 11g using the scale-out option
6. On second server, this created an instance1 directory
7. All components start up and we can log into OBIEE using either server1 or server2
Question:
Does OBIEE use the instance names in a scale-out? Our primary node is instance2 and the secondary node is instance1, though on a separate server. Will this cause a problem?
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
This can be run on any of the replicas that the availability group participates in to return the primary instance:
select primary_replica FROM sys.dm_hadr_name_id_map nim
inner join sys.dm_hadr_availability_group_states ags
on nim.ag_id = ags.group_id
WHERE nim.ag_name = 'MyAvailabilityGroupNameHere'

How does condition category affect the price procedure

Hello Gurus,
     there is a case as following:
if the condition type in the pricing analysis says in a billing document that the condition is found and set, and one is using the condition requirement number 024 (which only determines the price in billing document) yet still has to do new pricing in order to obtain the condition record, Should the condition category be blank, the system would propose the message condition is found and set but does not provide an actual condition record.
   the fault would be that the condition category on the condition type should be equal to L.
   so my question is " how does condition category affect the price procedure" ? thanks very much!

Hi Zhang,
-->Condition category is a classification of conditions according to predefined criteria.
-->These categories include packaging costs, delivery costs, output taxes and discounts.
-->The classification of conditions by condition categories can be used for analysis.
I hope it will clear for you

How to find out the application server instance name?

Hi,
I installed an Oracle application server a long long while ago and completely forgot the things about the installation, including the name of the instance (I installed single instance, not cluster). Now I am trying to create a connection to the application server and I am prompted to fill in the instance name. Where in the installation can I find out the instance name?
The version of the server as displayed when the server is started:
$ ./oc4j -start
Starting OC4J from /oraInventory/j2ee/home ...
09/10/08 16:04:39 Oracle Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.3.2.0) initializedThis 10.1.3.2.0 number is somewhat confusing. As I understand it, right now if you download a copy of the Application server from Oracle web site, the current version is 10.1.3.1.0.
I am also reading the installation guide now and when looking at the server starting messages on the screen, I realize that installing the server in the oraInventory directory is not quite right. Does that interfere with the correct functioning of the server? I installed it but have never tried to use it until now.
Many thanks for your help!

Regarding the version numbers, this fourth digit refers to the Component-specific release number. The OAS documentation says this about it.
"This digit identifies a release level specific to a component. Different components can have different numbers in this position depending upon, for example, component patch sets or interim releases."

NewmanI think Oracle software should always be installed in a separate directory. I think it may also generate errors in its functioning but it will certainly create a whole lot confusion and mess in later administration and configurations.
hope that helps!

How does buffer size affect double buffered waveform generation?

I had originally posted the following question:
"Why does the double buffered waveform generation pause after the first buffer before continuing?"
"I am using an AT-AO-10 board to generate a multiple channel waveform in double buffered mode. The board's DAC's are updated by an external clock signal. While the waveform generation performs well, I notice that after the first buffer has been generated there is a time delay before the next buffer is output. However the second buffer and thereafter perform well without any time delays. If anyone can provide me an explanation on why this happens I would appreciate it. I am using NI-DAQ API functions to generate the waveforms and my settings for the WFM_DB_Config function are 1 for oldDataStop to disallow regeneration of data and 0 for partialTransferStop to not stop when a half buffer is partially transferred."
-posted by Vadi on 6/7/2001
I received a response from Geneva as follows:
Geneva L. on 6/11/2001 says:
"Vadi,
The first thing is to make sure that you have the latest version of NI-DAQ installed, NI-DAQ 6.9.1. If you need to install it, make sure you completely uninstall any prior versions. Then, you will have examples installed in either the NI-DAQ or the CVI directory. In the AO directory, you should find the WFMdoubleBuf example.
Start with that to make sure the output appears as you expect. Then, you can modify it to apply your external update clock, following the idea presented in the WFMsingleBufExtUpdate example. You might even want to double-check that your external clock acts as you expect using an oscilloscope.
Finally, modify the example such that you can update on multiple channels, remembering that you interleave each channels buffer into one buffer for WFM_DB_Transfer. Whatever data is in the buffer will be updated on the output channels.

I have checked my version of NI-DAQ and it is 6.9.1. I am generating the double buffered waveform according to the format shown in WFMdoubleBuf and with some modifications from WFMsingleBufExtUpdate to allow me to use my external update clock. However I continue to notice the same phenomena again and again. For a buffer size of 7500 or 10000 points there is a time lag meaning after the first buffer has been output there is a noticeable time delay before the second buffer and buffers there after is output. This time lag doesn't exist for the buffers that are output after the first buffer but it does exist for the first buffer. When I decrease the buffer size down to 5000 points the time lag disappears (Note: this phenomena also occurs when I use an internal time base as opposed to my external clock). Is there a reason for this? I am using a AT-AO-10 board and I know the on board FIFO is 1024 points deep. However from the documentation provided it doesn't indicate that double buffered mode uses the on board FIFO at all. In fact, the functions require that the FIFO mode be turned off (in WFM_Load) for double buffered waveform generation. Is there a reason why when the buffer size is increased that there is a time lag after the first buffer? Is this because of the functions themselves or is this because of the AT-AO-10 board?

Vadi,
Make sure that your buffer size is set to the same number of points that you're actually writing to the buffer initially. For instance, if you run the example as-is, the NIDAQMakeBuffer puts exactly the ulCount amount of data into the buffer. Then, it continuously writes out half buffers. Thus, if you are not writing enough data to fill up the buffer the first time, there will be that lag until the section where half buffers are output.

General Question About common Instance Names in Flash CS4 (AS3)

I tried something interesting recently. I had code effecting an object with the instance name : object_mc.
Now I added another object and gave it the same instance name.
The result was, that the code only effected the most recent added object (no error).
Is there a way in flash to have multiple objects with the same instance name all being affected by one piece of code?
~ Thanks for any thoughts, advice or facts. ~

Advice: avoid it... if you want to control different instances, give them different instance names.
It depends on what you mean by "one piece of code". Directly using the instance name to target the movieclips will work as you have seen already... Last one added gets the attention.
To use the instance name to take action is doable more along the lines of testing each movie to see if it has the name, but still, you would have to target each using a different means.
For the piece of code below I have some number of objects on the stage and I test to see if they have an instance name assigned (object_mc) that is shared by some of them, and I am able to move them if they do, but I cannot use the instance name to target each of them for action... in this case I use the getChildAt method.
for(var i=0; i<this.numChildren; i++){
if(this.getChildAt(i).name == "object_mc"){
this.getChildAt(i).x += 200;
object_mc.x += 25; // only moves the last object added

Question - How does the Priority feature of the Send Port work?

How does the Priority feature of the Send Port work?

The Priority setting of the Transport Advanced Options controls the order in which messages are removed from the messageBox. Ports with higher priority will be processed earlier than the ports with lower prioirty making the higher priority ports more important
relative to other send ports within a single host.
Refer:
Send Port Priority
The highest prioirty is 1, and the lowest is 10. The default value is 5.

How does Check Names in the Target Audience picker work?

Can anyone tell me how the Check Names button in the Target Audience picker works? We are having problem with a specific audience in one of our web applications. I don’t think the problem is the actual audience though:
The Target Audience is a global target audience named ”XYZ”. It is compiled and contains member. When an article is tagged with this audience all works fine as long as we use the Audience Picker dialog. But, when using the Check Name button the audience
is not saved. This happens when I edit properties on the article (not customized UI) and also when I edit the article in a customized UI. No ULS messages.
I have read that the Target Audience Picker searches for matches in AD Distribution groups, SharePoint groups and Global Audiences. When we write “XYZ” in the audience field and presses the Check Names button one suggestion is displayed, named “XYZ”. When
I write “XYZ N” and press the Check Names button several suggestions are displayed: 4 “XYZ” and a couple of other suggestions “XYZ xx…” etc. We have no SharePoint groups starting with “XYZ”, we have no AD Distribution Groups starting with “XYZ”, and we have
only one Global Audience starting with “XYZ”. Where are all the “XYZ” suggestions coming from? Can anyone help, please?
We are using SharePoint 2010.
Best regards Heidi Lillebuen

Hi Heidi,
The target audience picker is similar to people picker, it searches the content of User Profile Service to find the matching users or groups.
I did a test based on your description. In my testing, everything worked well.
Please check whether there are some users whose display names are like ‘XYZ ***’.
Please create a new global audience using a different name, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Newbie question: How does one interrupt a running instance?

For example, suppose a 'process order' instance is waiting on a human approve an order, but prior to this task being processed, the customer cancels the order.

Hi,
As you said..
"Once control comes back to your process anyway you can terminate the process if order has been cancelled...."
My question is :
how the process comes to know that order has been cancelled as after processing one scope, flow will move to execute next activity.
How can the process get input for the cancelled order while running the flow for current order say create or mod?
Do we need to handle it in the flow depending upon the message type of the input file using cases? If so, then also how the process flow will come to know second message type (say cancelorder) while processing is taking place based on prior selected message type.
Please suggest....
Thanks

BC4J Question: How does AM and Connection Pooling work?

Hello everybody,
we are just trying to understand what exactly happens when a BC4J Application Module is created / when a AM is checked out of the pool with respect to Connection and Application Module Pooling. Especially we would like to understand what ConnectionStartegies, EnvInfoProvider and SessionCookies exactly do and when and how to customize them. Especially we would like to use features like virtual private databases (VPD) and proxy authentication (a feature of the Oracle OCI JDBC driver) with BC4J application modules. We found the HowTo about using JAAS and VPDs with BC4J (http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/howtos/bc4j/bc4jvpdjaas.html) but there are still questions, e.g. when is the afterConnect() method of an ApplicationModuleImpl called? During the instanciation of an AM or every time it's check out of the pool?
Any info on this topic would be very welcome!
Regards
Stefan

Hi,
1. Setting jbo.doconnectionpooling=false ,
connection pool still exists.
Is it correct ? When you set this parameter to false, you are saying that Connection Pool is not managed by AM, so you need to specify a JNDI Name in Application Module to use a Pool not managed by AM.
2. There is one situation to set
jbo.doconnectionpooling=true. The article said
"when you have a large number of application
module pools all needing to database connections
from the same underlying application user at the
database level. In this case, the many application
module pools can perhaps economize on the total
overall database sessions by sharing a single,
underlying database connection pool of JDBC
connections, albeit at a loss of efficiency of each
one. This choice would be favored only if total
overall database sessions is of maximum priority. "
Does it mean that if we set it to true when we
have many many AM instances and we cannot afford to
have such number of connection instance in the pool
? It's means that the JDBC connections will be shared avoid new Connection at time.
Normally i use Connection Pool not managed by Application Module.

Newbie M5 question - How does the Censor effect blur only the inside of the circle?

I'm brand new to Motion 5. I'm trying to understand how an effect like "Censor" applies the blur to only the inside of the circle. I opened the Censor effect in M5 and studied it, but the answer is just out of my grasp. Can someone explain it to me, or point me to an article that will help? Thanks.
Dan

In Motion, in the Censor effect project, if you turn off the Effect Source (lowest layer) you'll see the "circle" used to "limit" the effect.
Actually, this is just an illusion:
The original Effect Source (in FCPX, that's whatever clip this effect is applied to) is Cloned (the layer is called "Mask"): a clone is basically a "rasterized copy" of the original -- what I mean by that is that Clones not only copy original objects, but also all their filters and other layers/effects if you clone a group of objects -- reducing them all down to a single layer copy. This copy can be treated just like any other object in Motion (with an interesting exception*): you can add masks and other filter effects and/or behaviors to create new actions while the original source of the clone is left intact.
In this effect, there is a Circle Mask applied to the Clone, as well as three different Filters: Pixellate, Gaussian Blur, and Brightness. These three different filters are turned on and off separately by use of a "pop-up" rig so that only one of the filters is applied to the clone at a time. The gear shaped objects are Behaviors, in this case Link behaviors that "link" to the Circle Blur filter properties that is attached to the Effect Source which control the location in the canvas and the scale of the mask (Radius to Scale-X and another to Scale-Y). The Circle Blur filter has Onscreen Controls of a center point and a "radius" and those property values can be shared to other objects in a project via these link behaviors. The Circle Blur filter effect is turned off in this project because it *only* needed as a *source* for the onscreen control properties (and those can be turned on for use in FCPX [Publish OSC] whether the filter type is used or not.) All of the visible action in this project is created by applying other filter effects to the Clone copy and masking the area so that the rest of the source is uneffected while this effect (Censor) is active in FCPX.
The *interesting exception: Clones can be "retimed" -- even timed to go in reverse. No other object (other than actual video) can be made to do the same. What does this mean? It means that you can create, basically, an "in-project" video of other objects in animation (without exporting the animation first) and retime them to loop over and over, go in reverse, speed up, slow down, etc... Clones are a very useful tool in Motion (not to mention "light-weight"). Their only drawback: they *flatten* 3D animations, so you can't apply "more 3D" effects to them because they'll just look flattened on a plane if you do. So any time you feel you need to duplicate something, ask yourself if you would be better served by a clone instead.

How does image borders affect calculation of "center of mass" of particles?

Hi!
I have a question about how borders in the images affect calculation of "center of mass".
My original image (0) is a 640x480 grayscale image with border of 3.
I make a binarized image (1) of the original image (0) to search for particles. For each particle I find, I use the ROI for the particle to extract a third image (2) from the original image (0).
All of the images have borders of 3.
When using the ROI from particles in image (1), are the boundingBox-coordinates related to the outer edges of the image (which makes the image actually 646x486), or is it related to the original origo of the image (making the image "logically" 640x480)?
The same question goes for calculation of
center of mass for the particle, when using image (2). After running a particle filter on image (2), I use imaqCalcCoeff() to calculate IMAQ_CENTER_MASS_X and IMAQ_CENTER_MASS_Y, stored in local_x and local_y. To get the global_x and global_y, which is the center point of the particle related to the origo of image (0), I say that:
global_x = local_x + boundingBox.left;
global_y = local_y + boundingBox.top;
Do I need to make further adjustments since I am using borders, e.g. adding/extracting 3 from the global_x and global_y to have a correct answer, or is IMAQ vision taking care of this for me?
Do I have to actually define that:
global_x = local_y + boundingBox.left - borderSize;
or
global_x = local_y + boundingBox.left - 2*borderSize;
I guess (and hope) that the answer is no, that I can use:
global_x = local_x + boundingBox.left;
-but I need it confirmed...
Thanks,
Torbjørn

The image border is only used for processing (filters, etc.) It is not included in any coordinates or measurements. Therefore, don't include it in any calculations.

Basic Question: How does serialization handle multiple references?

Hello, I am not entirely sure how serialiazation works.
class Employee implements Serializable {
// properties and stuff here
class Company implements Serializable {
public ArrayList allPeople = new ArrayList(); // this holds a bunch of Employee objects
public ArrayList somePeople = new ArrayList(); // this holds a bunch of Employee objects
Company company = new Company();
Employee jsmith = new Employee();
company.allPeople.add(jsmith);
company.somePeople.add(jsmith);
ok, so my question is... if we serialize the Company object and then deserialize it back to company2 (another Company object) . In company2 will allPeople.get(0) and somePeople.get(0) point to the same physical Employee object? Or to 2 identical ones?

If you talk about serialization over one stream, then yes both references to the object will be the same. If you serialize data to serveral files and later read them in you will get multiple instances unless you implement a readResolve() to handle it.
Its all in the serialization white paper. So go read the documentation.

Newbi Question: How does one create a similar page to this using APEX 3.1?

Hi,
I am trying to create a help document with screen shoots inside our APEX web application and I am hamstrung by the type of Region and Item objects available to me. When I tried to create HTML region I was limited to how much html characters I can put in the source. When I look into the item menu nothing seems to allow me to stick in large chunk of HTML code either.
A little searching on this forum and I came across this page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm#t
It is exactly the type of page I want to create with lots of text and screen shots and I presume that it is built within APEX? So my questions is: How did they do this? Did they use tools available within APEX or some external tool? Was all this outputted using BLOB and Htp("") and PL/SQL? I am trying hard to avoid having to do that.
I was also unable to stick in an in image into my page using instruction from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/ui.htm#CBBHGJCH which left me pretty frustrated. (external amazon gif worked).
Thanks for any help,
Wayne

Wayne,
I am glad that you got images to display. I am not sure what kind of html report you want to display, there is a limit of number of characters in a region its 32767 characters, so if you want to display large html file you can create html region with no template and limit each region to 30,000 characters and create as many region as you want.
If you want to display data from any table ( as per the first url) you can create SQL reports, something like
select ename
     , deptno
     , sal
     , case
          when ename = 'SCOTT' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#us_flag.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'SMITH' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#chants.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'MARTIN' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#cloche.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'MILLER' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#chandelles.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'JONES' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#shoe.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          else '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#hallo.gif" alt="Image Title">'
     end image

Time Machine Question: How does it handle external drives?

Hi,
To date, I have only been backing up my HD (macbook pro) though Time Machine onto a dedicated back-up external drive.
Today, I backed-up and forgot that my 2nd external drive (for music) was plugged into my Macbook. So, Time Machine seems to be backing up both my HD and my Music. This is not a bad thing. But, I have one question - worded two different ways:
1. If I back-up again next week and my Music External drive is not plugged in, will the future back-up simply write over the music back-up?
2. Do I need to plug in my Muisc External drive next time I want to back-up my HD?
A third, related question:
3. I also have a 3rd external for pictures and movies. Will Time Machine back this up as well? Is this a reliable way to back things up?
Thanks in advance,

Read Pondini's TM page here
http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Home.html
My advice is not to let TM become a catch all backup because it's placing all your software eggs in one hardware basket. Hardware fails just as much as software does and a catch all TM failure takes it's all down in one shot. Not only that TM also traps your data.
Maintain two seperate hardware backups of your data in easy accesible (from any computer) as possible.
I use a 50/50 partition on my main boot drive and Carbon Copy Cloner to auto-clone A to B nightly, but this only offers software protection, then I have a external drive clone spaced back a few days, and then a another clone spaced back about a few weeks or months. The external clones offer hardware and software protection.
This might not work in your case, each person's needs are different, the key is to have a multi-based approach to give you diversity in case something goes wrong.
