Why do I get a class conflict between the Prepare SQL.vi and the Get Column Name.vi with the SQL Toolkit compatibility vis from the Database Connectivity Toolkit?

I have done extensive programming with the SQL Toolkit with LabVIEW versions through 6.1. My customer now wants to upgrade to Windows 7, so I am trying to upgrade to LabVIEW 2009 (my latest purchased version) using the Database Connectivity Toolkit, and the SQL Toolkit Compatibility vis. Everything seemed to be going okay with the higher level SQL operations, but I ran into trouble with the Get Column Name.vi.
The pictures below show the problem. The original SQL Toolkit connected the Prepare SQL.vi with the Get Column Name.vi with a cluster of two references, one for connection, and one for sql. The new compatibility vis have a class conflict in the wire because the Prepare SQL.vi contains a cluster with connection, and command references, but the Get Column Name.vi expects a cluster with connection and recordset references.
How do I resolve this conflict?
Thank You.
Dan

I've never worked with the old version of the toolkit, so I don't know how it did things, but looking inside the SQL prep VI, it only generates a command, and the the column name VI wants a recordset. I'm not super familiar with all the internals of ADO, but my understanding is that is standard - you only have the columns after you execute the command and get the recordset back. What you can apparently do here is insert the Execute Prepared SQL VI in the middle and that will return what you need.
I'm not sure why it worked before. Maybe the execute was hidden inside the prep VI or maybe you can get the column names out of the command object before execution. In general, I would recommend considering switching to the newer VIs.

I just downloaded photoshop elements 7.0 to a new box and it tells me that my serial number is not valid. the adobe support team says the number is valid, but that they can't help me

i just downloaded photoshop elements 7.0 to a new box and it tells me that my serial number is not valid. the adobe support team says the number is valid, but that they can't help me

Which operating system are you using?
When you say downloaded, where did download pse 7 from?
Do you have the original install disk or original download for pse 7?
I believe the serials won't interchange between the disk version of pse 7 and the electronic down load version.

External Monitoring...how is it for you and what for the future (CS5)

With the prospect of CS5 on the horizon and many of us considering it as the opportunity to up spec O.S,, software and hardware simultaneously (largely due to 64-bit)...I am wondering how everyone is getting on with their external monitoring solutions and what the expectation is for CS5.
In my opinion the way it is now (in CS4) is less than professional and needs sorting out (hopefully in CS5).
Issues are : Video / audio / synching internal and external devices so all play together.
Premiere Pro runs two playback / preview systems : One for scrubbing and source monitoring; the other for Program playback /preview.
(Example : Observe how and when audio plays through the audio mixer or observe what and when video plays through external or internal monitor...then note what happens when you PUSH PLAY - spacebar)
Without repeating the problems in depth, I would like to say how I wish it worked for me as an editor in a Pro environment with clients that sit in my suite as we work together.
I have a two monitor NLE set up plus one external for client viewing (and also for grading /CC).
I need the External Monitor (Video & Audio) and the Internal Monitor (Video and Audio) to playdown together. I dont want one to stop and the other to function.
I want them both working simultaneously playing video and audio. Am I supposed to get out of my chair to wander over to the client monitor to see the changes we just discussed then I actioned in the timeline? !!!!!!
A feature request : I would also like to be able to access the Playback Monitoring via Shortcut keys or On Screen buttons. It is very handy to be able to playback on the second monitor but it should be defaulted at 100% (Not Fit - as per the Program Monitor)
As regards HD. One should not have to install 3rd Party cards to monitor HD externally. The problem with that is one then needs to use the Presets from that card manufacturer. The Presets , eg P2 work so well in PPRO...so why do we need to mess with 3rd party drivers just to monitor.

Exactly!
I just like to let people know where is the origin of that shortcut (in previous CS editions it was in PROJECTS menu bar tab, and since CS4 it is in SEQUENCE menu bar tab....
I was trying to figure out what do you thing my "atom like button" )))
Finally figured out that it is the RGB icon (which is more the molecule then atom), but you gave me a hard time looking for atom!!! I thought it is in 3rd place, somewhere, as well - but "Atom" almost remained misteri
Anyway, interestingly enough, I just succeeded in getting my picture out on EXTERNAL CRT monitor through DV-monitoring in playback settings - FireWire through my scope (deck) and to TV....
And picture appeared.... But stood still.... Wouldn't move.... except when scrubbing... But when press PLAY it froze both on external DV monitor and PPRO program monitor in software!!!
Maybe it is my old ATI 3850 HD VGA - and maybe it just can't work!!!!
This pisses me off a bit!!!
I have unpacked copy of new AVID MEDIA COMPOSER 5 - which I have decided not to install until I am through with searching all new possibilities in CS5....
But now, I feel more and more like opening and installing it ----- Just to see how is it managed there!!!
It is hard for me ---- even to think to leave ADOBE ------ it is already enough that 80% of my Clients first ask me "DO YOU HAVE AVID".... and then, to half of them I somehow explain that it is gonna be better if we give ADOBE a chance, and the other half is just hard on their flexibility --- they've heard everything in Hollywood is edited in AVID, so they want their project to be the same....
And I was having a real hard time defending PPRO for years, preventing my Clients to make me switch to AVID - and look what ADOBE did to me now - ADOBE made me reach for my AVID MC v5 and install it and have it ready to take over any project, including the one I am working on right now!
Why, Adobe, Oh, Why!?

Free Drum Loops for you to play with

Hey all:
In the holiday spirit of giving back to the community, etc., etc., I thought maybe you all would enjoy some badass drum loops to play around with in Soundtrack Pro (my all-time favorite Apple program).
So here goes:
This is a zip file containing an array of drum loops with which to play around.
http://www.21ca.com/drums/FrankColeman-DrumLoops01-162bpm.zip (about 11MB)
They're at 162 bpm, but they'll survive having the tempo manipulated.
Here's volume 2:
http://www.21ca.com/drums/FrankColeman-DrumLoops02-136bpm.zip (about 20MB)
These were done at 136 BPM. A somewhat darker styling than the last batch, but you can manipulate them any which way, of course.
No effects added to any of these, so feel free to dirty them up any way you like.
This is my vintage chrome Slingerland kit, from a session last year. I did 11 tracks in 90 minutes, by myself, to a click, so there's lots more where this came from.
Well-recorded (at The Cutting Room Studios NYC) and tightly edited (by me), so they'll drop right into Soundtrack or any other loop-savvy program.
If you end up using them for something meaningful, all I ask is proper attribution and send me a copy. I'd be fascinated to hear what you come up with. More to follow.
Enjoy!
best,

Ruler Units: Beats
Tempo: whatever you like
Key: - (blank/none)
From the View Menu, select Snap (should be checked).
- In the bottom right panel (Browser), navigate to the folder where the loops are saved.
- In the lower center pane, click on the "Bin" tab.
- Drag 'n' Drop the files from the Browser to the Bin. Now you can drag them from the bin to a Track and start playing around. Alternately, you can drag them from the Browser to a track and they will show up automatically in the Bin.

i spend all my weekend trying to figure out whats the problem, but i dont know.
i tried tutorials for similar problems, but noting worked...

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!

Hi Josh
Thanks for this useful information and for the report about your experience.
I have already noticed this Toshiba Value Added Package for Vista and have already read the More info .
This option provides details about the single drivers and tools. For Toshiba Value Added Package I found this:

X-FI working for you bf2 playe

If it does work, pleace state your system spec's
Mobo manifacturer and chipset first and foremost.. kkthnx =)

Works, but with some pops and crackles. Got x-fi xtreme music with the heatsink, three numbers are 547, no rev letter on the box/card.
Also noticed that if the cmss-3d is anabled, the popping and crackling is much worse (happens even while walking). If that is turned off, crackles happen during artilery strikes and other sudden exploding sounds. BTW my audio settings in game are medium with eax turned on and x-fi selected from the drop down menu.
They better fix these popping issues, its an expensi've card and yet it works much worse than cheap ones in many instances. Fairly disappointed.
Remember I said to myself back in the sound blaster li've days that that would be my last product (because incidentally that card also had popping and crackling), so i stayed well clear from creative sound cards until x-fi.
Read loads of positi've revies and decided to take the plunge only to find out that little has changed from the old days.

Easy for you but hard for me

I am sure this will be a simple issue for you, but I am not an experienced Oracle person. I run SQL reports from an Oracle database every night for work. Now my bosses have put a large LCD monitor on the production floor and want the data from the Oracle DB to be shown on the monitor. They would like it presented in easy to read graphs or something that can be understood by a non technical person. The data must update around every 15 minutes. As I said, I have the SQL scripts already and I am wondering if there is an application I can use to do this sort of thing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Here is one of the shorter SQL scripts and a few lines of the results from that script:
SELECT distinct Unit_status.serial_number, to_char(Unit_status.modified_date, 'DD/MON/YY'), Unit_status.model
FROM
unit_status
WHERE Unit_status.process = 'FQA'
AND Unit_status.pass_fail_indicator = 'P'
and unit_status.modified_date between
to_date('17-FEB-08 00:00','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI') and to_date('23-FEB-08 23:59','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI')

How to find the backend SQL query of the JSP page in OIC

Does anybody how the best way to find the backend SQL QUERY of OIV JSP page?

How To Generate Trace Files in in HTML/JSP (using Profile Option)
      Note: This requires proper responsibility to set SQL Initialization statement using Profile option.
     Step 1.     Login to the desired Form application.
     Step 2.     Select +Profile >> System ('Find System Profile Values' screen will pop up)
     Step 3.     Check 'User' and Type in the Username (in which the account for that user will be trace)
     Step 4.     Type 'Initialization%' in the Profile box and Hit 'Find' (Click here for preview.)
     Step 5.     In the User box, type the following statement and Hit 'Save' (Click here for preview)
     BEGIN FND_CTL.FND_SESS_CTL('','','TRUE','TRUE','','ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER = TESTING MAX_DUMP_FILE_SIZE = 5000000 EVENTS ='||''''||' 10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 12'||'''');END;
     Note:     specify any name you like to identify your trace, in this case, testing is the end name on the trace. You can also specify the amount of data allowable to be in the trace, in this case, 5000000 is the amount set. Make sure you hit 'Save' afterwards.[Quotes in the statement are all 'Single' quotes.]
          specifying TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER value is mandatory when setting up the trace using the above profile option value
     Step 6.     Login to HTML / JSP page with username/password and start your flow. (Everything you do once login to HTML / JSP will get trace.)
     Step 7.     Logout of HTML / JSP application once you completed with your flow.
     Step 8.     Go back to the Profile option in the Form application and delete the Initialization SQL statement, and Hit 'Save'.
     Step 9.     Log in to the database server or login server and retrieve your trace file.
     Identify and retrieve the trace file using the tracefile_identifier specified in Step 5.
     In this case the tracefile_identifier is TESTING. (Click here for Trace file locations) *
     Note:     If you need to regenerate your trace or tracing a new flow, then repeat Step 1 to Step 8. To avoid self-confusion, choose a different name for your trace identifier everytime you set to trace.
     Step 10.     See TKPROF section on how to format trace file into readable text.
     Trace Options Definition
     No Trace          Tracing is not activated
     Activities will not get traced.
     Regular Trace
     (Level 1)          Contains SQL, execution statistics, and execution plan.
     Provides execution path, row counts as well as produces smallest flat file.
     Trace with Binds
     (Level 4)          Regular Trace plus value supplied to SQL statement via local variables.
     Trace with Waits
     (Level 8)          Regular Trace plus database operation timings that the SQL waited to have done in order to complete, i.e. disk access.
     Trace with Binds and Waits
     (Level 12)          Regular trace with both waits and binds information.
     Contains the most complete information and will produce the largest trace file.
****Send me an email to [email protected],I will share the document with you.

Does one of the Lync SQL databases store the active directory username or SID of the person who made a call ?

I am trying to write a report that uses data from Lync (2010), Active directory (AD) and other databases.
I need to match data from Lync with records in active directory.
When you make/recieve a call, the session details has a userid column - a foreign key to the users table, which has the UserURI - the users emails adddress or telephone number.
However, trying to mach the data, I have noticed that someones email address can change so that what is in active directory does not match that used as the SIPaddress in Lync.
I need a field that matches in Active directory and Lync to be able to link a users call records with their active directroy records.
I was wondering how Lync decides which Lync user you are when it auto logins you in.
Does it do it on the basis of your phone number, AD username or something else ?
If so , where in Lync does it store the mapping from whatever it uses to your Lync userid ?
Greg

The msrtcsip-primaryuseraddress attribute in AD is where the users SIP address is stored.
This can change still, but generally that should not be very often except maybe a name change or domain name change.
Almost everything in Lync is based on the SIP address. In CDR's case, it is just recording SIP messages as they pass through the front end; it has no visibility into the actual AD account that sent it.
If you will need to match user SIP addresses back to live AD accounts, even after a SIP address change, then I would recommend setting up a custom AD attribute to store their SIP account history and have a policy to update that attribute each time someone's
SIP address gets changed.

Find the full sql text of the currently executing query

Hi,
I wish to find the full sql text of currently executing sql.
Tried through v$sql and v sqltext_with_newlines but it doesn't give the full sql.
We do not want to enable trace to get sql query.
How to get this ?
Thanks.

WiFi work well for you? Not for me...

My iPod Touch's Wi-Fi has never seemed very effective from day one on my home network or when roaming. Does it work better for others?
1st: My home network uses a D-Link wi-fi 802.11G router, with three computers attached (one iMac, one Dell laptop and one no-name PC). I'm on a different channel than my neighbours. Using a WEP key. v1.1.3 on the Touch.
Here's what I get...: Even sitting right next to my wireless router, most pages I try to load in Safari time out. It only seems to work normally with loading a page that has one picture and no text. I can get the Google home page pretty reliably, maybe in 5 seconds or so.
For many sites, I have to stop it and re-load 15-20 times and maybe... a page will then suddenly load. Many never do. Some pages work better like the Google page - but I don't see the pattern on when.
I've tried using the browser on other networks in public places and I get the same results.
I also just bought the upgrade, but the stock app times out (only ever worked once), the maps loaded eventually, I got 34 of my several hundred e-mails to load, YouTube app works more reliably than safari, the iTunes one never has, weather times out.
I'm going to get TimeCapsule when it comes out, and I have the (likely false) hope that using its Airport Extreme router will improve things and my Touch will work better. Is there something else I might be missing?

I had this exact web page loading oddity after I upgraded to 1.1.3
it had worked just fine from Xmas to the upgrade
apple tech support couldnt help at all except to suggest the obvious which was to try I different wifi network
I did and it worked
so it seemed something was now incompatible with my 5+ yr old linksys 55ag router
so I decided to for 50$ try a new router
I bought a linksys 54 g router and now it works
the mystery as to Why still bugs me
apple can't/won't say why or how 1.1.3 could have been responsible
anyway I'm working now and its probably better with a new router I guess
othrs seem to be having similar issues but nothing difinitve

Vinagre vnc client -- does the scaling work for you?

hello fellaz,
i tried vinagre from aur (both vinagre and vinagre-tweak) but scaling option was disabled, although i think it should work (gtk-vnc has been compiled with --with-gtkglext=yes). does it work for you?
thanks for reply,
joe
Last edited by jose1711 (2008-04-26 11:35:29)

my self-built packages don't work with scaling aswell.
however, vinagre should be in extra anyway, as it is officially part of gnome 2.22, so it should be in gnome-extra.
