SEQ with GG

Hi ,
If i'm creating odd and even number of sequences in source and target for A-A replication, How to manage the existing sequences.? if there any changes required for existing seq for avoiding conflicts, and guide me this sequence mechanism is suitable for conflict resolution? my primary db having the below details,
Total Database size as 920 GB , 1.9 GB of redo logs are generated and Converted into archive log as 128 GB per day. please guide me how to setup the rules for conflict resolution?
5 procedures
301 indexes
157 sequences
704 constraints
1 db link
21 packages
7 functions
1 trigger
1 materialized view

You want to alter the replicated sequence (bump it up, increment by 2, make the source increment by 2 so you don't have a collision). You did not want to actually replicate the DDL for the create sequence, but no problem, after the fact you can do the alteration - BUT you also do not want to have this ping pong, so do it as a user who won't cause the replication (i.e., things done by GG user are ignored, kind of like what you can do in Streams by setting a tag for a session that signals Streams to not stream the txn).

Import image seq with alpha ?

Hi again,
Im trying to import in FCP an image sequence (tiff or tga) with alpha channel and i cant..I look in the manual and it says that i must first go to quicktime to convert to mov etc but what ill do with alpha channel ? i need it cause the seq is from a vfx..
Any suggestions ?

you need to export the movie out from Quicktime Player using a codec that supports an alpha channel. built-in, you can use Apple's "Animation" codec but thats a seriously heavy codec to work with, instead you may want to download a third party codec to use as an intermediate
Avid's Quicktime codecs have alpha support and are freely available from their website

Rescuing shots from a graded Color seq with shots on both V1 and V2

Hi guys
I could have sworn I watched a Lynda tutorial that showed it was okay to use both V1 and V2 before sending to Color 2.0.2. On forums since I have now realised that only V1 is really the only way.
Anyway, since sending back to FCP I have some shots which have flashed, ungraded, weird-looking frames of the beginning of each of the faulty shots. i tried 'send to FCP' a few times but still get the wonky-weird frames at the beginning of each of the shots.
I brought the original shots into a new FCP seq, sent to Color, graded them, then rendered (no signs of weirdness) and sent back to FCP. However, when I tried to incorporate the same shots into the main previously graded sequence the weird fault appears again on the freshly, individually-all-graded-using-only-V1 shots.
What can I do please to get rid of the weird flash?
Thanks in advance!

That could be it JP - a bug in the handles.
Could you reread my previous post - I had edited it to include an extra paragraph at the end and reposted just as you did your most recent post please.
The extra bit I did is a description of how the problem appears to remain regardless of handles, but I'm hoping it will go away if I rerender all the shots without handles?
I'm rerendering all my shots with handles set to 0 right now. Fingers crossed!
Just to update:
I have changed my handles to 0 and am all set to re-render. However, I notice the weird flash remains at the beginning of some shots...let me describe...
In the COLOR timeline if I use the down arrow to move to a shot. Once on this shot, if I press the left arrow once I move back one frame and I see the weird warped image (either too high contrast or some other funkiness). Weird thing is, despite the contents of this frame belonging entirely to the shot I originally 'down-arrowed' to...the previous shot becomes selected?!

Export EDL or XML for seq with speed change

Hi,
I am trying to export an EDL or XML of a 30 sec sequence of 10 clips. 5 of them have speed change. Basic speed change, not variable. They are UC 10bit from a DigiBeta captured with a Kona 2.
The problem is that the exported EDL or XML doesn't get the right clips in and out points for recapture on other systems. Any clue?

As long as there are speedchanges in the sequence, FCP will screw the EDL timecodes for source clip in/out and position in the timeline....and it's way off.
And the problem is not with Flame, if I open the XML or EDL in TextEdit, I see the TC mistakes. We do that all the time with the Avid MC and it works very well. Even if the speed changes wouldn't go through, I would expect clips coordonates and in/out to be ok.

I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with outlook to get all contacts. I've also set up my earthlink mail account and it sends/receives fine. IS there a way to sync it so I get all of the legacy emails sitting in the OUtlook inbox?

I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with Outlook to get all contacts, etc. I've set up the mail account and it is working just fine. The sync doesn't pull over legacy emails from Outlook and my Outlook has been set up to remove them from the webmail server therefore they aren't available from webmail anymore. Is there anyway to pull them over to the iPad?

But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
never finding it again.)
I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
something) of every single file.
There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
Peace

One more nugget: Chart zoom with the "Mouse Over" effect

Hello all.
Just read my signature first, it might explain a lot. I do not intend to compete with Darren and I don't think this "nugget" (at least it supposed to be one) will amaze any of the LV veterans and this forum is rich of them. But maybe it will bring some new ideas to some of you or maybe it will be useful for some LV beginners (like me). It is very likely, my code will have some lapses, but please be gentle pointing that out to me. If you feel a need, you can always optimize the code and develope it further. Just don't forget to share!
So back to the point.
I am developing a project using LV. In my program there is a waveform chart which has to show 4 plots. Depending on the length of the X Scale, it sometimes gets hard to see the plots clearly because of their density.So I decided that I need a tool, which would zoom the chart in. And this is what I have came up with after a few "Google" searches to check which part of the bike is already invented and also a bit of programming by myself.
Maybe you guys (at least the veterans) know the BetterVIEW Consulting LV example where they have implemented the Mouse Over effect. So a part of their example has been used in this tool and part of the credit must go to them. I thank them a lot
This tool uses a cluster and its property of visibility to show/hide the cluster depending on if the current position of the mouse cursor is in the desired range or not. The program also gets the image of the chart and returns the subset of the image. The subset is taken for the area arounf the mouse cursor. So if you move the mouse, the zoomed in area will also chage in response. After that, the subset of the image is zoomed in for better view.
The user might chage the zoom factor during the execution. Also it is possible to turn the zoom option On or Off if you don't wish to see it for the moment.
This is how the front panel looks like:
And this is the image of the block diagram (see the attached files for the vi, the VI Snippet tool distorts the code too much, so I haven't added it):
I haven't found anything the same in the forum. Yet I'm a newbie here and I don't have that much experience surfing it. If it wouldn't be something new (in the forum, not necessarily to some of you personally), just ignore the thread. I hope this was worth your time and your attention.
Good coding
Message Edited by Giedrius.S on 02-11-2010 12:46 PM
While evaluating my code please have in mind that I am a LV novice. Therefore sometimes my code might violate some coding rules that I have to learn about myself. But how else could I do that...

Very nice Giedrius.
It takes guts to "step up to the chalk board" so I will do what i can to give you some ideas to think about. This is similar to the type of feedback I offer durring our in-house code reviews.
1) The floating property nodes outside the loop are not sequenced by wires so they could execute after the loop starts. Sometimes this could cause weird errors. Seq with the error cluster.
2) Property nodes can be re-sized so you can apply more than one property setting in the same call. Property node have to execute in the UI thread (which is single threaded) so using a single nodes will force a single context switch rather than one for each.
3) Setting the same property repeatedly in a loop just burns CPU. THe Scale min for both X an Y can be moved outside the loop ?
4) THe Wait Until Next ms" function does not get used in any of my code. It is not a way to get a fixed wait but rather a random wait. If you code completes 1 ms after the next multiple, the delay is double less 1 ms. If you have multiple loops using them and it f the delay for each are not unique prime numbers, then the "Wait until next ms multiple" is a good (cough cough) way of getting them all to wake up at the same time and fight for the CPU.
5)An Event Struture to monitor mouse enter/leave and mouse move (this would have to be a sepearte loop) is easier on the CPU than polling.
6) Is that math in the case to handle the Chart position on the FP? If so then using the property nodes for the chart to find its postion will let you code adapt to GUI changes.
7) Right to left wires are not well recieved.
8) A Bundle by Name is prefered over a "Bundle" since it is self documenting. I know the Picture function so I can see that is the rectangle you are specifying but reader not famliar with that function would not be able to "READ" the code without poking at it.
9) THe event structure would also help with setting the Zoom factor. Only poke it when you have to.
That is all that comes to mind at the moment.
Again thank you!

Help with sequences going silent

I am working on my third version of a simple edit. I started with an edit 2 weeks ago and finished the 18 minute seq with 2 video tracks and 6 audio tracks. No broll just A roll. The footage is Canon 5D and the audio is from Zoom and Tascam external recorders.
For 2 weeks the process went fine. No issues with anything. We were expecting bad weather so I powered down the system. The next day after opening the seq, no sound. The waveforms were visible and the meters moved but no sound thru the speakers. Double click and the audio played fine in the player window. The aurto saves for the project had the same sound issues.
I posted a question on this forum and recieved a few comments but still no luck.I tried an online chat which was a joke. The adobe point person did not even know whic time zone he was in. He asked three times what software I was running.
I contacted editors I know all over the country and no one could give me a suggested solution. I deleted the media cache and media files, I reconnected the media, I trashed the preferences, I tried outputting to Audition, where the sound played fine and I could edit but it would not import back into PPCC with audible sound.
No one has had a solution or even an idea how this occur.
I started a new project and imported just the sequence. NOTHING. I moved my project to an internal drive because an editor said that would help.
I started from scratch. Editing the entire 18 minutes again. Worked great. Was finishing the mix to export to AE and it crashed saying it could not be saved. Upon reopening the project. No audio just like before. AND all my auto saves were corrupted as well. No audio in any of them.
I have been editing for 30 years and have used AVID and FCP. All had issues but nothing as bad as this. It has taken 3 weeks to do a simple job. Please help me figure this out. Everyone I talked to that edits is waiting and confused as to how this could happen.
Thanks
Art

Kevin,
The sequences are 44.1. The zoom interviews and music are 44.1. However the Tascam is 48. There are 6 interviews total. The interview heard most is 48.
The audio when rendered played fine before the program frooze. Everything worked great until the crash.
The files play fine in the player even now.
And they play fine in the player window in Audition when exported. Yet the sequence does not play consistantly. It plays different clips that the ones that play in PP.
The same audio file from one soundbite to another does different things even though it is the same person. One bite may play, the next may not. Waveforms appear in all.
thanks,
Art

Pre-insert block level, Seq.Nextval leaving gaps problem

Hi...form friends,
I used DB sequence in pre-insert block level trigger.
SELECT seq1.nextval INTO :abc.log_id FROM dual;
Everything works fine,except leaving gaps randomly .
It leaves around 10 no.s gaps in-between. And that happens randomly...
lets say I insert 5 records..then it will be 1,2,3,4,5.
Then it may jumps to 15,16,25 like...that....
I searched for this problem...but some say when form failure occurs, it leaves gap of CACHE no. specified....and some say its not possible to use DB seq. with forms perfectly ..!!!!
Anybody have any idea about this issue ???
Thanks....

Putting that functionality in a row level trigger will cause a mutating data exception.
Locking the table for update is not sufficient, you need to prevent other users inserting as well.
I've posted a method a few times before which uses dbms_lock and a table of serial numbers which is used in place of the oracle sequence. This provides maximum concurrency and allows for data to be rolled back, but there is obviously a payoff in terms of performance so it should only be used when absolutely necessary. There is a similar example in the link I posted above (which is a far more considered explanation than I've posted elsewhere!), along with some caveats about using gapless sequences and whether there is truly a need.

Alternate sequence with no "return" operation

Hello PP experts,
I have a routing with already a ALT sequence and no "branch" operation for the same, only my return oper is configured (this is a kind of converging routing).
I tried to enter an ALT sequence without a "return" operation but in this case it is not authorized.
Seams "branch" operation can be optional, but "return" is mandatory.
Can you please confirm/advise how I could simply model a "diverging" routing sequence (going out of my main routing branch and no return on it).
Thanks

Thanks for your answer but this does not solve my pb.
To me there are 2 business case which can lead to model a // or ALT sequence in addition to a main seq.
1) As per your explanation, it is a need to increase and optimize the throughput based on lot size.
OR
2) In my case it is regardless of lot size and throughput, but it is to model a manufacturing process that needs to have a main sequence for production, then based upon some process triggers, to "branch out" the main sequence and terminate this process in a different way based on those triggers results.
I already model one of my biz case where I need a main sequence on my routing, and this main seq is then joined by an ALT seq on a particular operation (my return operation). In that case usage of alternative seq with "branch oper = empty" and "return operation = 0040" is working well and fits my needs.
Seams to do the reverse, that is to leave my "return operation = empty" is not allowed.
Thanks,
Franck

Sequence within sequence... do chapter markers come with it at QT?

Hi,
I've had a look around, can't see this and have searched. When I drop a sequence into a sequence, do the chapter markers come with it so when I QT them and send to IDVD, the sequence chapters will be there or on the new timeline with the completed sequences, should I (again) add markers?
Thank you.

Never used that feature, wouldn't have known it would keep the timeline markers, but a good solution.
Only caveat is that it doesn't show the markers in the nest itself. (if one wanted to have the visual reference.)
I've never been really hip on using nests, preferring to dupe seqs, with incremental naming...personal preference.

Anybody can help with this SQL?

The table is simple, only 2 columns:
create table personpay(
id integer primary key,
pay number(8,2) not null);
So the original talbe looks like this:
ID PAY
1 800
2 400
3 1200
4 500
5 600
6 1900
The requirement is to use one single query(no pl/sql) to show something lile the following, in other words, for each ID, the pay is the sum of all before itself and itself. So the query result looks like this:
ID PAY
1 800
2 1200
3 2400
4 2900
5 3500
6 5400
Again, just use one sql. No pl/sql. Anybody can help with this? I really appreciate that.
thanks,

Eh, people are so "analytically minded" that can't even notice a simple join?
Counting Ordered Rows
Let’s start with a basic counting problem. Suppose we are given a list of integers, for example:
x
2
3
4
6
9
and want to enumerate all of them sequentially like this:
x      #
2      1
3      2
4      3
6      4
9      5
Enumerating rows in the increasing order is the same as counting how many rows precede a given row.
SQL enjoys success unparalleled by any rival query language. Not the last reason for such popularity might be credited to its proximity to English . Let examine the informal idea
Enumerating rows in increasing order is counting how many rows precede a given row.
carefully. Perhaps the most important is that we referred to the rows in the source table twice: first, to a given row, second, to a preceding row. Therefore, we need to join our number list with itself (fig 1.1).
Cartesian Product
Surprisingly, not many basic SQL tutorials, which are so abundant on the web today, mention Cartesian product. Cartesian product is a join operator with no join condition
select A.*, B.* from A, B
Figure 1.1: Cartesian product of the set A = {2,3,4,6,9} by itself. Counting all the elements x that are no greater than y produces the sequence number of y in the set A.
Carrying over this idea into formal SQL query is straightforward. As it is our first query in this book, let’s do it step by step. The Cartesian product itself is
select t.x x, tt.x y
from T t, T tt
Next, the triangle area below the main diagonal is
select t.x x, tt.x y
from T t, T tt
where tt.x <= t.x
Finally, we need only one column – t.x – which we group the previous result by and count
select t.x, count(*) seqNum
from T t, T tt
where tt.x <= t.x
group by t.x
What if we modify the problem slightly and ask for a list of pairs where each number is coupled with its predecessor?
x      predecessor
2
3      2
4      3
6      4
9      6
Let me provide a typical mathematician’s answer, first -- it is remarkable in a certain way. Given that we already know how to number list elements successively, it might be tempted to reduce the current problem to the previous one:
Enumerate all the numbers in the increasing order and match each sequence number seq# with predecessor seq#-1. Next!
This attitude is, undoubtedly, the most economical way of thinking, although not necessarily producing the most efficient SQL. Therefore, let’s revisit our original approach, as illustrated on fig 1.2.
Figure 1.2: Cartesian product of the set A = {2,3,4,6,9} by itself. The predecessor of y is the maximal number in a set of x that are less than y. There is no predecessor for y = 2.
This translates into the following SQL query
select t.x, max(tt.x) predecessor
from T t, T tt
where tt.x < t.x
group by t.x
Both solutions are expressed in standard SQL leveraging join and grouping with aggregation. Alternatively, instead of joining and grouping why don’t we calculate the count or max just in place as a correlated scalar subquery:
select t.x,
(select count(*) from T tt where tt.x <= t.x) seq#
from T t
group by t.x
The subquery always returns a single value; this is why it is called scalar. The tt.x <= t.x predicate connects it to the outer query; this is why it is called correlated. Arguably, leveraging correlated scalar subqueries is one the most intuitive techniques to write SQL queries.
How about counting rows that are not necessarily distinct? This is where our method breaks. It is challenging to distinguish duplicate rows by purely logical means, so that various less “pure” counting methods were devised. They all, however, require extending the SQL syntactically, which was the beginning of slipping along the ever increasing language complexity slope.
Here is how analytic SQL extension counts rows
select x, rank() over(order by x) seq# from T; -- first problem
select x, lag() over(order by x) seq# from T; -- second problem
Many people suggest that it’s not only more efficient, but more intuitive. The idea that “analytics rocks” can be challenged in many ways. The syntactic clarity has its cost: SQL programmer has to remember (or, at least, lookup) the list of analytic functions. The performance argument is not evident, since non-analytical queries are simpler construction from optimizer perspective. A shorter list of physical execution operators implies fewer query transformation rules, and less dramatic combinatorial explosion of the optimizer search space.
It might even be argued that the syntax could be better. The partition by and order by clauses have similar functionality to the group by and order by clauses in the main query block. Yet one name was reused, and the other had been chosen to have a new name. Unlike other scalar expressions, which can be placed anywhere in SQL query where scalar values are accepted, the analytics clause lives in the scope of the select clause only. I have never been able to suppress an impression that analytic extension could be designed in more natural way.

Unable to query records with data in exponential value ? ?

Hello,
I have a strange problem here, hope someone can answer my query.
I have 2 tables where the 1st col is a seq with datatype NUMBER(22) and NOT NULL constraint. Now, the value within that col is quite large and hence when I query the table in TOAD/SQL developer it displays output in exponential form. Now the issue is this, In one table I'm able to find/search a particular row by using the exp value within where clause and the same is not possible in other table.
The sample data is here.
I'm able to search record by using the below values in 1 table but same is not possible in another.
1200000211600013
1.20000021160001E15
Can anybody tell me what could be the possible reason for this or where should I look for to find an answer?
Thanks in Advance!!

Add static background image to all frames of gif animation

First, I'm not a fireworks regular. I use it when I have to to get something done (mostly web optimazations). I would use it more but, frankly in many cases the UI is counter intuitive to everything else adobe makes.
Here is my problem...
I need to add (not replace) a static background to ALL existing frames(states) in a fireworks gif animation (with alpha) , the end product gif will be an element in the Edge web animation...details
I have an animated seq of a rotating object that was created in 3ds max and rendered as a png seq with alpha.
I opened the SEQ "as animation" in fireworks. I set the frame rate. It plays fine. So far so good....
I imported an image that I want to be BEHIND the animated seq on ALL frames. I tried puting it on a sub layer behind, i tried puting it on it's own layer behind, but it ONLY shows on the first frame (state).
I tried using "share with all states" but it replaces the SEQ images already on the "states" instead of adding it behind them like in the arrangement of the layers.
So first, can this be done and if so how?
Second, why is this process so counter intuitive in fireworks? I mean if a layer is behind something then it should be a simple button click or check box etc to say "show on all frames (states)", you know like any other product adobe makes. Even "image ready" made more sense than this. My thought process was that since I needed to end up in fireworks to create and optimize the gif that i should be able to put it together there also but it's turning out to be a lot harder than it should. I guess I can just composite my elements in AE (which is a piece of cake compared to fireworks) and then render another SEQ that I import to fireworks to create the optimized gif. While I'm a fan of the "creative suite" concept, one of my biggest complaints about the "suite" is the lack of master oversite so the common functions, keyboard shortcuts, and fundimental UI concepts are consitant accross all the apps so it functions as a "suite" and not just a collection of seperate applications. I know that demanding that all applications follow certian rules would slow development, in the long run it would make it a lot easier for the end user to spend more time being "creative" and less time trying to figure out why something doesn't work like it does in all the other apps. Just my $.02
Thanks for any help and or explaination
Joel H

Thanks for the response.
You know I tried that exact thing the only difference being I didn't change the layer names. So not naming the layers would keep that from working ?? Also as you eluded to draging layers to position them in fireworks is a delicate operation. It always seems to take 2 or 3 times to get it to drop where you want it. I named the layers and it works as you said. Unfortunately I was really pressed for time so I had already given up on fireworks and just composited the SEQ with the BG layer in AE and kicked out another PNG SEQ and then open that "as animation" in Fireworks and then optimized and exported as a gif. So there are allways several ways to do things.
Thanks again,

Access sequence for stock transfer order

Hi,
My client is a paper industry. client is procuring raw materials from forest center. We are considering forest center as plant 1800 and paper mill as plant 1100. several depots has been created under forest center and considering them as storage location. goods receipt at forest center is happening through scheduling agreements. stock is transfered from forest center depots to mill through stock transport order.
For each depots, freight value per MT is fixed for transporting goods from forest center to mill. Clients requirement is to maintain the rates for freight for each depots so that it will pick from condition records. No need to enter freight value in stock transport order.
I have created an access sequence for combination of plant (1800) and forest center depots and maintained condition table. but it is not working as in stock transport order, there is no storage location option for supplying plant. In stock transport order supplying plant is forest center (1800) and receiving plant is mill (1100).
Please guide me where to maintain the freight rate as this is mandatory for my client.
Thanks
Prasant

Access seq with depot will not work becuse you don't have the storage location field in the header
Rather create the diff pruchase group for each depot and assign them in STO based on your depot(storage location)
and create the access sequence based on the palnt and purchase group than it will work.

ProRes 422 (HQ) QT Export out of FCP getting error on re-import

The quicktime exports I'm producing out of my FCP system need renders when I drag them back into the project, into a seq. with the same exact settings they had on export. Even if I drag my export into the same sequence it was exported from!
I'm trying to export a self-contained QT with current settings from a Pro Res 422 (HQ) 1920 x 1080 50i Sequence .
On creating a new sequence, I select the sequence preset Apple Pro Res 422 HQ 1920x1080 50i, then cut in the media-- the media is a 90 min Pro Res 422 HQ quicktime from an online house, also 108050i.
Predictably, no render required. The frame rate, frame size, pixel shape, field, codec match between the media and the sequence.
However, if I export out of that sequence (using File – Export Quicktime; Self-Contained, Current Settings), then re-import the Quicktime and put it back in that same sequence or another new sequence with the same preset settings, it needs picture render. This is only if my export selection from the sequence is at least a few minutes long. If I set an in and an out for a :30 sec selection and export that quicktime, I can play that back in the sequence with no render.
The fact that there's some difference between a 90 minute export from my computer and a 30 second export from my computer could be a clue.
Additional info-- I have tried creating a new sequence with the wrong settings preset to get the FCP prompt "would you like to conform the sequence settings to match the file?" Then I click yes to conform settings and my quicktime export goes into the sequence-- with a red render bar. But if I then cut in the Pro Res HQ QT from the post house it will not need a render. These two QTs appear identical when I compare their item properties in FCP. On playback, in the viewer window, my export will appear a little stuttery.
Can anyone tell me what this means and if I can export a quicktime that does not need to be rendered to be played back in FCP?
Many many thanks!
I'm running FCP 6.0.5 on a 2 x 2 GHz Quad Core with 11 GB Ram. Mac OS 10.5.6. I have media running off of 2 external drives, connected via eSATA. Drive Speed on the externals-- need to double check.

The Error I referred to in the title -- I am getting the message "clip settings do not match any sequence presets" when I try to cut my export into a sequence. Seems bizarre because it just came out of a sequence preset, not a custom sequence, using "current settings."
