1.0.3 :: Share Your Experiences

I'm on my 3rd iPod Classic 160GB & was smart; I left the firmware v1.0fc1 on it that it came with out of the box due to the MANY well known issues we've all experienced with 1.0.2.
Anyways, I just noticed 2 threads talking about the available 1.0.3. It must have been released a few hours ago b/c there's only 2 threads on it.
_*MY QUESTIONS:*_
Before I update to 1.0.3, can someone who has already updated to it please answer the following:
1) Has the battery leaking issue been resolved?
2) Will it play in a speaker docking station now without sleeping when controlled via Remote Control?
3) How was Cover Flow improved / enhanced (least of my worries).
4) Is there more features & activity available for the Calendar & Contacts feature or do they still need to be mostly controlled from your computer?
I ask b/c I'm an iPod addict & also have a iPod Touch 16GB & it's latest update (1.1.2) now allows users to create their own events on their calendar whereas before calendar entries could ONLY be created on a computer.
Please reply if you know any answers to my questions & 'share the knowledge'.
Thanks!
Looking forward to a much better iPod Classic experience with the newly available 1.0.3 update.

My first impressions:
1. Loading of large playlists improved in speed
2. Why can't I turn this weird Standby-screen off, or even change the clock to 24h-layout?!
3. The battery runs for 20 hours, so I'd love to trade the BatteryMonitor for a display of the current title.
4. Clicking the menu-button in the playing-screen shows an option to shuffle titles. While playing albums it would be a lot more useful to choose repeat-options. still have to go to preferences for that.
5. "Now playing" still shows no cover
6. Sort albums by year (like in iTunes) not added
I'm pretty disappointed of 1.0.3. Maybe I should lower my expectations for the next time.
edit:
Don't get me wrong, the overall performance is way better. The lyrics-display was improved a lot. Scrolls smooth now and I don't get thrown back to the main screen after a while.

Running executable on clients,Share your experience

I have installed Oracle 9i AS on application server environment and deployed my forms and big application on this env.
Now I tried to run my reports (created as executable files) and they opened at the server and hangs the client till I close the exe. on the server.
Any body knows how can I deal with the client to run executable or share your experience.
Many Thanks
Adel Yousef

I've done some evaluation of Forms and Reports 6i. Of the two, Reports seems to have most of the problems, but that is another discussion. From my notes I can recall:
Forms layout: If you delete a frame, all prompts dissapear. Reappear
when you close and open layout again.
Forms generic: Readme says 6i is patch compatible with 6.0. If you modify a form with a static record group in 6.0.8 it works ok. If you then recompile with 6.0.5 all static record group values are gone!
The bug where you may not get the property palette by pressing F4
before other windows have been activated still exists.
It appears that the (layout) window has focus, and from GUI point
I think it does, but cant receive events.
This behaivour can something be noticed in runtime also.
I don't think it is a problem with Windows as no other application
has this behaviour.
The issue of existing state of package
still exists, must try it with sql+
If you change a stored procedure in a way
that its signature doesnt change, forms
runtime still complains the first time
you call the procedure. The second time
it works ok. Strange.
Could not generate form with Ctrl+T. Tried Sh+Ctrl+K but got
PDE-PER001 Internal error (depep 2).
Tried again, worked.
Runtime: Why are all my prompts with background=white?

Sony ignoring issues of flagship phone owners - share your experience

Dear fellow owners, I've go to understanding that Sony is putting effort to ignore issues that owners of flagship phones are having. For example my thread "Xperia Z1 mic issue (low volume) when using WeChat" is ignored by Sony staff. Could you share your experience with Sony support?

Can you please share your experience in implementing / upgrading the Primavera EPPM R8.3?

Hi,
In our company various versions (V7, R8.1 and R8.3) of Primavera being used in various locations. To bring all the location to a common platform, management has decided to implement / upgrade Primavera EPPM P6 R8.3 and also planned to integrate Primavera P6 R8.3 EPPM with Oracle (EBS) Projects application . Hence, If any of you implemented Primavera P6 EPPM R8.3 or upgraded the earlier versions to Primavera P6 R8.3. Please share your ideas and also the pros and cons of implementing R 8.3 EPPM. For your information we are going to have SQL database since all the existing databases are in SQL.
Please share your ideas and experiences.

Hi,
we have done a lot of implementations and migrations to the P6 EPPM R8.3 from different former versions and this is working fine. the dbsetup does a good job.
A good way in my point of view is to set up a new P6 EPPM R8.3 system with a new PMDB Instance which will keep the configurations so that you easily can migrate or exchange the instances. Always remind to have a validated backup of any instance before migrating.
Before migration you should mind the following points:
The source version of the old P6 PMDB instance is:
P6.2.1 or before => first you need to migrate it to P6 V7.0 before you can migrate it to P6 R8.3
P6 V7.0 => check if you have used P6 WebAccess: if not okay, else check if you used jackrabbit (look for migration tool), Workflows (close all before migrating); Check if using Jobservice XER-Export (no longer available); Jobservice Batchreport (only Workaround available see Knowledgebase); Risks in the P6 Client (need to be manually migrated)
P6 R8.0 to R8.2 => Using Extended Schema, Enterprise Reporting Database, own BI Publisher Reports => Check stept to be taken for migration
Other questions are:
Which authentication method will you use (native, LDAP, SSO)? If not using native and you want to connect the BI Publisher then you need also to use that authentication there.
The migration itself is pretty easy if you take care that all sessions are closed (no users or unclosed primavera sessions settings on that instance, stop all Applications, interfaces or Services connected to the instance. Cleanup your refrdel_deletes, logical_deletes and (if used before), extended Schema tables.
Then you can migrate with dbsetup, use additional Service Packs and Fixpacks (actually Service Pack 1) on the instances and then you can connect them into the environment by adding it to the P6 Configuration.
I mentioned you don't want to put all data into one final PMDB-Instance.

Daniel

Please share your experiences moving from Quark to InDesign

My company's design group is pushing to move from Quark to Indesign, starting with one of my projects, which is our largest (400 pages), highest profile document (it is currently in Quark, and the plan is to pour the text and graphics into InDesign). Our schedule is very lean--leaving little room for surprises. None of the compositors in the design group have used InDesign. They are expected to recieve some formal training--but only about 1 week's worth total over a period of several weeks. I am all for making the transition to InDesign, but feel that the wiser path to take is to start on smaller and less high-profile documents that have more time in the schedule for the learning curve. However the design manager is adament that the transition will be problem-free. My experience is that any transition like this has bumps, and most are unexpected, and create havoc and panic. This document has only gone to print on time once (in 10+ years)--with me managing the project and with much sweat and tears. My hope that this year we could go to print on time AND do it with less wear and tear on all who work on it. I just don't think this will happen making this tranisiton now. Can anyone share their experiences when they made the transition?

Everyone else has had really good advice about starting with a 400 page doc, particularly if it's complex. If it's just text with a couple illustrations every 4 or 5 pages, it might be do-able, but if it's a complex document with lots of stuff on every page, it could be tricky.
Try this link for the official converter's guide.
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs3ip_quarkmigration.pdf
Some practical tips for the beginning XPress converter that I learned the hard way...
- Cmd-shift-click pulls stuff off the master page.
- The lack of master anchors may limit your ability to accomplish certain master page layouts (with prelinked text boxes) that are easy to do in XPress. Everyone here will tell you to simply use the margins to control your text flow, which may or may not work well for your particular case.
- Always scroll around a document by holding down option+spacebar. This insures that you will get the scroll hand tool every time instead of accidentally inserting a zillion spaces into your text.
-Cmd-shift-A deselects everything in a text box so that you can select another tool. There is no next/prev tool shortcut, but rather keys for each tool. (T is text, A is the white arrow, V is the black arrow)
- You "thread frames" rather than "link text boxes" despite how I wrote this. :)
- Don't set text wrap to effect only the stuff underneath in the prefs because...
- All text should go in a separate layer on top of the graphics layer because...
- InDesign dynamically resolves transparency effects at print time, which means if part of your text is layered under a transparent element it may get rasterized.
- If you need to get text to show even when it's on top of an object with a text wrap, select the text box and check the "Ignore text wrap" option.
- Overprint Preview is your friend. It'll help show you all those things that you didn't notice were going to print strangely before you commit them to print. (Overprinting white type, etc)
- When you're just starting out, so is the Flattener Preview because you will start to get a feel for what is going to be bitmapped and what won't.
- XPress documents imported into InDesign should always be exported as Adobe InDesign Interchange and reimported one more time. .inx is the equivalent of the "thumb-nail drag" trick in XPress to clean up a document that is acting funny.
- XPress documents with placed EPS files may come in with the "Non-printing object" attribute checked on some of the EPS graphics. There's a script floating around that Dave Saunders wrote to fix this. Also, turning Overprint Preview will help you spot this (look for the disappearing objects).
- If you are placing EPS objects, be sure to set your import options to "Render preview from postscript" or your previews won't look right and/or may be deceiving.
- Don't every base your paragraph styles off of "Basic Paragraph Style", because if it ever changes in another document your type will suddenly change when you paste it from one document to another.
- Don't base anything off of "Basic Object Style" for the same reasons.
- Your defaults change whenever your change the options in a palette/panel without anything selected. Curious why every new object you draw comes in with a drop shadow or a 3pt rule, for example? You accidentally set those options with nothing selected.
- InDesign's paragraph composer may drive you (or your proof-readers) wonky because it will change the flow of text paragraph-wide if you redo a line of text. You can either adjust it for decent text flow and leave it alone OR turn it off by basing all your stylesheets on single-line composer. People in here will largely recommend option one, but if it doesn't work for your stuff, don't be afraid to disable it.
- Make sure to upgrade to the latest CS3 update, because CS3 v5.00 had some fairly crashy behavior.
- If CS3 feels really sluggish, try turning off page previews in the Pages palette.
- CS3 and OS X 10.5 are not fully compatible yet.
Best of luck! It's not really that big a change, but everything is slightly different so expect a bit of time to really get your feet under you.

Please share your experience with the universal dock for iphone 3g

Hi There,
1. Can people share their experience of the universal dock with the iphone 3g adapter. My concern is that does the tight fit scratch the black lower back of the iphone plastic everytime we remove it or put it in? OR is there enough gap for the iphone to slip in and out without scratching.
2. Anyone having issues with the universal dock or does it work fine for most?
thanks in advance,
cheers,
Sunil

Thanks for your advice.
I recently purchased a universal dock for my iphone 3g. It works great. I just had one question. When my iphone is sitting on it for lets say 20 - 30 minutes. Then if i press the buttons on the remote. nothing happens! If I then press the home button while it is on the cradle then, the remote, it plays music. There after lets say if I stop stop the music through the remote and again press the remote button after a few minutes it starts playing. So what happens after a long time. Why do i have to press the home button on the iphone for the remote to work. Is that how it is supposed to work???
Thanks

Can anyone of you who own a Thinkpad R61 Share your experience?

I Just get a Thinkpad R61, and it freeze on Windows Vista 3 time out of 6 boots, and it is making a high pitch noise. I do a few test with it before I return to the dealer for replacement. I didn't even bother to install Linux on it because if it is a hardware problem, it would be waste of time, and might get reject for replacement --.--!
Here is what I get:
I try it with xubuntu 8.04, (the closest Live CD I can get). The high pitch sound still occurs, however, everything else seem working fine. NO freeze, no nothing.
I boot up into Windows Vista safe mode with network(wifi). Everything work fine and no high pitch noise. I would be really happen if it stay like this every time I boot my system.
I took the laptop apart in to a point where wouldn't effect the warranty and boot my system into both normal and safe mode with network. The Fan is not moving, the CD-rom is not moving, and the HHD is moving however not the one who make the noise.
I do a CLI ram test, and doing the whole thing, no high pitch noise is made.
At last the most making sense test, put my ear right in front of the speaker, and none of them are making any sense. in fact, I hear less noise when I do that.
So clearly, sense many people say it is one of the most silent and coolest laptop ever make in the Thinkpad R series. The high pitch noise is not one of the feature I offer. And Sense this noise is not make by any move part, The only two possibility is the audio chip or the graphic chip. It can't be any of the moving part because they also work under safe mode which make no high pitch noise. And it is not the CPU, RAM, or Battery making the Noise, sense they work the same under safe mode, and CLI mode. The only thing that is power up that is not power up in safe mode or CLI mode are the Sound chip, and the Graphic acceleration. Sense I can't really take those thing apart without avoid the warranty. I don't really know which of the one is making that high pitch noise. You might think I am crazy to think that non movie part is making noise, but it is true. Any that is my story. hehe
I hear all over the place that Thinkpad are great laptop, but it really doesn't give me a good first impression. So How's your experience with your Thinkpad R61?
Last edited by ioky (2008-10-04 10:31:33)

Some Thinkpads are known for high pitch noises, with many newer models it seems to be related to running on battery. See here for details. I have this problem on my T61, but as I have it plugged in most of the time I didn't really care. I had problems with the preinstalled vista as well, no freezes, but I couldn't get wireless to work. Apart from that, I'm really happy with the laptop, the build quality is just great, it has this rock solid feeling to it and it works like a charm with Arch. The pre installed windows was clearly below my expectations, but I'd buy this machine again any time.

Security for Military Data --- our Options -- Share your experiences

Hi,
We want to secure military specific data in SAP.
We also want to comply with ITAR requirements.
One option is to create roles and profiles and then assign it to users who can view that data. In this approach the biggest problem is over head of maintaining 100's of profiles and roles. Our company does not have suffecient funds or team to do that.
Second option was to use development and here is how we envisioned it.
Maintain an indicator for foreign nationals in HR and also maintain an indicator for military personal in HR. (We are allready doing that, for some other busines process) So this table will tell us if an employee if foreign national or a military personal.
If Military person.
give access for military specifc data.
else.
error message.
endif.
similarly
if foreign national.
give error message.
esle.
let him view data
endif.
Now we are not sure if SAP has a common routine for authorizations, which we can change and add these conditions in it. (We will do core mod by getting access key).
If we follow this approach will we have to modify a single routine (for all SAP modules) for all master and transaction data transactions, or will it be multiple routines which we will have to modify.
We also need to cover authorization for table maintenence, transaction codes, org structure level...etc.
Can you please provide your inputs/point of view on this.
Will apprecaite if you can share any other option.
Thanks in advance.

Agreed with Wolfgang, roles & profiles are better in the long run than system mod.
There are ways to redesign roles to make them manageable. Example: Derived roles.
If you already maintain the users thru HR, you can assign roles in R/3 to Job, Position, Work Center, etc. Another idea to help you automated the roles assignment.

ThinkPad X131e - please share your experiences

Hello,
I am located in Germany and I tried to order ThinkPad X131e from the Lenovo Shop, but believe it or not: the online store cannot process the order. For Lenovo this should be a cause for embarrassment.
I think that ThinkPad X131e is just the kind of machine I have been looking for. But I have had a hard time finding a
single review of ThinkPad X131e online.
I was therefore wondering if those who have purchased this item could share their impressions and experiences.
Regards,
Novalis

It looks like it's unchanged from the X130e aside from the internals, which are barely an upgrade.
Either way, my x130e is built like a tank and performs on par for a netbook.
You can literally throw it at a brick wall and barely harm it.
The touchpad is pretty horrible though.

Unified Job Monitoring -Share your experiences with SAP Solution Manager 7.1

Dear Forum members,
I woudl like to introduce myself as Raghav, S. I am in the development team responsible for building the unified job monitoring workcenter starting 7.1 SP10 (onwards).
Please post your feedback, current status wrt to setup, commmon issues in this area.
I will be more than glad to help you here.
Regards, Raghav
Development Manager
CLM - Solution manager team, Labs India.

Hello Raghev,
we implemented unfied job monitoring on a larger scale by now, starting out with the monitoring of SAP Standard & Reorg Jobs.
Everything seemed quiet OK at the beginning, but over time display performance of the Monitoring UI decreased drastically (exceeding 5 Min. "per click" in the UI).
I pinned this down to the following (Oracle) SQL access:
SELECT
"CLIENT", "CONTEXT_ID", "TYPE_ID", "HASH_METRIC_PATH", "START_TIMESTAMP", "IS_CURRENT", "END_TIMESTAMP",
"METRIC_PATH", "RATING_AGGREGATE", "VALUE_MIN", "VALUE_MAX", "VALUE_SUM", "VALUE_COUNT", "VALUE_LAST",
"VALUE_DATA_TYPE", "VALUE_MAX_TIME", "LAST_TEXT"
FROM
"MES_DB_AGGREGATE"
WHERE
"CLIENT"=:A0 AND "CONTEXT_ID"=:A1 AND "TYPE_ID"=:A2 AND "IS_CURRENT"=:A3 OR "CLIENT"=:A4 AND
"CONTEXT_ID"=:A5 AND "TYPE_ID"=:A6 AND "IS_CURRENT"=:A7 OR "CLIENT"=:A8 AND "CONTEXT_ID"=:A9 AND
"TYPE_ID"=:A10 AND "IS_CURRENT"=:A11 OR "CLIENT"=:A12 AND "CONTEXT_ID"=:A13 AND "TYPE_ID"=:A14 AND
"IS_CURRENT"=:A15 OR "CLIENT"=:A16 AND "CONTEXT_ID"=:A17 AND "TYPE_ID"=:A18 AND "IS_CURRENT"=:A19
The execution plan used for this SQL is:
0
SELECT STATEMENT
1
INLIST ITERATOR
2
TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID MES_DB_AGGREGATE
3
INDEX RANGE SCAN MES_DB_AGGREGATECU
MES_DB_AGGREGATE in our case has over 5 million entries.
The parameterization of the DB incl. Memory and all should be OK.
The index range scan simply takes that long.
This might be, because the MES_DB_AGGREGATECU index has the lowest cardinality column (CLIENT) first.
Header 1
Header 2
COLUMN_NAME
NUM_DISTINCT
CLIENT
1
CONTEXT_ID
433
TYPE_ID
2192
IS_CURRENT
2
Could you have your team check on this, because with the situation as is, the Job Monitoring application seemingly becomes non-usable, as soon, as you start to scale up.
Best Regards,
Thorsten

SNMP Monitoring Agent for OAM (COREid) - Share your experiences

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully implemented the monitoring agent. I would like to hear how you implemented the agent and how you consume the traps as well as any reactive automation that you may have also implemented to respond to trouble conditions. I'm preparing to use the agent for monitoring our environment (have used other moniroting techniques to date) and I would like to hear from anyone who has been through this process and has helpful guidance for my implementation.
Thanks!
--Aaron

Alan,
yeah it does come with net-snmp but I was more likely asking if somebody actually tested it or made some experience with integration it into HP OVPI or eHealth.
I thought I ask before I test ... maybe it doesnt work well or another client is better ...
Thanks

Error 4280 again, but this is a poll. Share your experiences...

Hello out there...
Okay so I've been researching this error 4280 when trying to burn on iTunes that (according to posters in this forum) signals "optical power calibration error." Trying many of the same brand discs (and another crappy brand), I've come to the conclusion that this may have less to do with iTunes or hardware issues and more to do with cheap blank media.
Here's why:
1) DVDs burn fine, even using a freeware burner
2) I can't burn a CD even with IBM DLA (drag-and-drop recording) or RecordNow!
3) At first I thought it might have something to do with the iTunes rip engine, but WMP can't burn it either.
4) I can burn the contents of an audio CD onto a blank DVD-R -- the same brand of DVD-R that I burn movies onto
So, since it is unlikely we all have defective drives and buggy firmware... okay well scratch that, we probably DO have buggy firmware. Since it is unlikely we all have defective hardware, and without a firmware update to depend on, it is only logical that the media is in question.
The poll is... what brand of CD-R or CD-RW do you use, and does it work?
I use Dynex (Best Buy brand) CD-Rs. They are crap and don't work. I also tried one that I got at work with brandname "Simon": same deal.
As they say in grade school... pass it on!

Hello out there...
The poll is... what brand of CD-R or CD-RW do you
use, and does it work?
I'm not convinced it is the blank CD's. We have used a variety of brands and have problems far too often. In fact, we have more failed burns than successful ones.
Most recently we have attempted Memorex & Phillips purchased at Wal-Mart.
