A sequence of failures

Desk top 6.0 reinstalled following waht looked like a failry harmless corruption.
Clean uninstall and reinstall as per instructions.
On reinstallation I get "The application loader wizard requires the Blackberry Devcie Manager to be installed." on a pop up.
I found and have attempted to follow KB19072's instructions but cannot complete a repair. When I try and do so I get a pop up asking me for an alternate path to the installation package Blackberry Desktop Software.msi. It is using the path C:\Users\CHRISE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\WZSE2.TMP\
The installation Zip file was pulled down to my downlaod file but remains a Zip file and is not that keen in being extraced and then pointed to. When I go to downloads the file, unsurprisingly doe snot appear and then I get a Error 1706 and it shuts down.
What is as odd is the software will not shut down without being forced to do so, it will back up but not let me choose sync preferences withotu attempting to sync.
Have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and have downloaded the official source of 610_b038 multilanguage
Help.
Last 4 years all worked like a dream. This is getting ugly and a tad frustrating.

Unbelievable.
I have spent 3 days wrestling with a corrupt file supplied by BB from their host server.
Thank you for taking the time to help me.
This link was the best source of the 3 provided in your link. The other two failed during download.

  • Question on Sequence..

    There is an primary key in my table which is assigned value from a sequence.
    For this i first fetch the value from sequence and assign it to the column while inserting.
    My question is :
    How can i reset the value of the sequence in case if the insertion operation fails..
    Regards
    Kaustubh

    You cannot rollback the sequence value.Don't give up so easily. Here's a very basic example of what you can do. It's not the ideal coding, but it shows the principle.
    SQL> create table x (id number, x number);
    Table created.

    SQL> create sequence myseq;
    Sequence created.

  • Performance issues when creating a Report / Query in Discoverer

    Hi forum,
    Hope you are can help, it involves a performance issues when creating a Report / Query.
    I have a Discoverer Report that currently takes less than 5 seconds to run. After I add a condition to bring back Batch Status that = ‘Posted’ we cancelled the query after reaching 20 minutes as this is way too long. If I remove the condition the query time goes back to less than 5 seconds.

    Is there anything i can do in Discoverer Desktop / Administration to avoid this problem.
    Many thanks,
    Lance

    Hi Rod,
    I've tried the condition (Batch Status||'' = 'Posted') as you suggested, but the qeury time is still over 20 mins. To test i changed it to (Batch Status||'' = 'Unposted') and the query was returned within seconds again.
    I’ve been doing some more digging and have found the database view that is linked to the Journal Batches folder. See below.
    I think the problem is with the column using DECODE. When querying the column in TOAD the value of ‘P’ is returned. But in discoverer the condition is done on the value ‘Posted’. I’m not too sure how DECODE works, but think this could be the causing some sort of issue with Full Table Scans. How do we get around this?

  • Preventing Discoverer using Full Table Scans with Decode in a View

  • Battling Hardware MPE, Episode 2: Chunky Blurs

    Round Two of my hardware acceleration MPE tests...
    When using direct export with hardware MPE, any effect that renders a blurred alpha channel (Fast Blur, Gaussian Blur, etc.) creates an extremely ugly/chunky/unusable result. The source footage and sequence does not matter, nor does the destination format. The following examples are of an animated Gaussian Blur (from 0 to something) on a title clip, wiped off with a Gradient Wipe transition (toggle the GradWipe makes no difference). As with my previous thread (Battling Hardware MPE, Episode 1: Cropping on Export), I tested four variations of exporting: with hardware acceleration on and off, and with direct export and sending to the AME queue:
    GPU Acceleration off, sent to AME queue:
    GPU Acceleration off, direct export:
    GPU Acceleration on, sent to AME queue:
    GPU Acceleration on, direct export:
    So we've got good, good, good, bad. As before, the direct export method using hardware MPE seems to throw a wrench in the works. Any effect that blurs like this (including soft shadows or glows) suffers this ugly banding and harsh falloff. What's curious is that the last example is how the Program Monitor appears while GPU acceleration is enabled; if I disable it, it looks like it does in the first three. What I can't figure out, then, is where hardware MPE is actually at work! Is it in the direct export (bad) or in the queue (same as non-GPU accelerated)? It's not making much sense to me.
    Now, I had a chance to have a brief email exchange with one of the engineers regarding a similar issue a few months ago. In response to similar observations and questions, here is his reply:
    You are correct that composting with alpha can give different results. This is caused by processing in linear color so that blending is more like natural light. With MPE GPU acceleration, all composting is always done in linear color. This is nothing to do with the hack, but an intentional design decision to never compromise in quality. In software, composting is only done in linear color when rendering at maximum render quality because on the CPU it takes a lot longer. This probably also explains why you occasionally saw this with software. In the monitors we never show anything at maximum quality with unrendered footage. With software you thus need to export with max render quality specified or set max render quality in the sequence settings and render previews. For consistent results when switching between software and GPU acceleration I suggest enabling both max render quality and max bit depth.
    Either I'm not understanding this, or it's confirming the bug. I get that hardware acceleration is supposed to enable "linear color processing;" that's fine, if that's better than how it's usually done (whatever that is--I'm not an engineer), but based on what I'm seeing with the hardware direct export, it's WORSE than any software render or encode. Ultimately, I don't care what is technically superior if it looks aesthetically inferior. With the GPU on, a direct export is not usable, and when rendering through the queue, it looks visually no different than when not using the GPU.
    So based on the response above, I just did some more tests, this time with the Maximum Render Quality and Maximum Bit Depth options. I did not change the MRQ and MBD settings for the sequence itself--only in the export window--as it is my understanding that those check boxes will enable or disable those features. Using the same example above, I found some interesting results:
    So, this would appear to largely bear out what the engineer explained. My observations now:
    Hardware acceleration, at least as it pertains to this linear color processing issue, is fundamentally equivalent to Maximum Render Quality in software rendering mode.
    Maximum Render Quality does nothing to soften the chunky blurs, shadows or glows. Instead, Maximum Bit Depth must be enabled.
    In my initial tests, GPU On + Queue resulted in the same visual effect as GPU Off; in this test, GPU On + Queue resulted in the same effect as GPU On + Export (???)
    Setting the Maximum Bit Depth option for your sequence in hardware mode will display smooth blurs with soft falloff in the Program Monitor.
    Setting the Maximum Bit Depth and/or the Maximum Render Quality option in software mode has no effect on the Program Monitor display.
    Regardless of sequence settings, failure to set either the MRQ or MBD option in the export window will result in those settings not being applied.
    Setting either the MRQ or MBD option in the export window will always result in those settings being applied, regardless of sequence settings.
    After going through all this, I may be willing to concede that everything is working correctly, more or less. However, my complaint is now, "WHY does this have to as complicated as this?" There are simply too many combinations that have to be set properly to get the desired quality of output, and I firmly believe that this needs to be simplified. When exporting or rendering in hardware/GPU mode, I believe that MRQ and MBD should be on by default; as it is, even with the promise of "linear color processing" with hardware acceleration, I still have to remember to tick another box to make sure that blurs, shadows, and glows don't look like stair steps. The jury is still out on how "good" linear color processing is; maybe I just got used to software rendering of these soft alpha channels, but I'm having difficulty seeing the benefit of more "realistic" light processing at the moment. With hardware acceleration on, you're basically stuck with how those soft elements look; with the hardware acceleration off, I can opt for the more subtle look if I like, even if it means I give up the other presumed benefits of linear color processing. When I design graphics in Photoshop, I expect them to look at least reasonably similar in Premiere; with hardware acceleration on, all bets are off.
    I realize this is a new technology and will, hopefully, continue to mature and improve, but I'm hoping that this at least sparks some conversation about this issue. Casual users may not care too much, but anyone using this product for broadcast or other commercial work should be aware of the complications associated with the technology, and should demand that it work consistently and at an expected level of quality. Maybe I'm expecting too much of this, but I certainly hope not.
    Your comments are requested and appreciated.

    According to your last picture, the one thing consistent with all the problem footage is MRQ.  It seems that feature is actually causing the problem.
    Correct; that was basically a test to see if what was described by the engineer (namely, enabling MRQ to produce better alpha channel compositing) held true. Well, it's sort of six of one, a half dozen of the other. In essence:
    Hardware MPE = Software MPE + Maximum Render Quality = Linear Color Processing
    Enabling MRQ in hardware mode does nothing; enabling MRQ in software mode makes software mode act like hardware mode. In either of those scenarios, the alpha channel is composited using linear color, which causes soft shadows, glows, etc. to balloon. Additionally, the soft shadows are banding, due to 8-bit processing. Only by enabling Maximum Bit Depth can the banding be eliminated, but the bulbous glow remains. Setting Maximum Bit Depth alone in software mode has no apparent effect; the alpha channel may not be composited "more realistically" thanks to linear color processing, but it doesn't grow grotesquely or reveal banding, either.
    The tests above were conducted with the Gaussian Blur effect within Premiere. I decided to try a test using a Photoshop document; the PSD is a simple text layer with an Outer Glow layer style applied. I tried importing the layer with the layer style as it is, I tried flattening the layer, and I tried merging the layered document on import into Premiere; all resulted in the same effect. The results are more troubling than the examples above, as I use Photoshop for the vast majority of my graphics work for Premiere. Here's the test:
    This is text composited against the background video in Photoshop, so that I can see how the glow should be rendered:
    Nothing fancy, but the glow has a nice, subtle fall-off. When I import the PSD into Premiere, edit the alpha text layer over the background clip, and render out in software mode, this is the result:
    Visually identical to what I created in Photoshop; so far, so good. Now, if I enable MRQ and MBD on export, still in software mode, this is the result:
    Um, yuck. Enabling MRQ has had the same ballooning effect as in the tests above, but since the graphic and background video are 8-bit, and I'm not using a 32-bit effect (like the Premiere Gaussian Blur effect), enabling Maximum Bit Depth has no effect. The glow shows banding, and is just downright ugly.
    So what happens in hardware accelerated mode? No prizes for guessing correctly:
    No combination of Maximum Render Quality or Maximum Bit Depth has any effect in this case; the glow always looks like this in hardware accelerated mode.
    This is a HUGE problem, as far as I am concerned. Not only can I not use hardware MPE to export if I want a decent-looking glow, but I can't even use it in the design and build phase because the composited result looks NOTHING like what I'm building in Photoshop. I have a keyboard shortcut set up now to launch the Project Settings panel so I can toggle back and forth between software and hardware mode, so I can at least enjoy some of the acceleration of hardware for general editing, but for detail work and for export, hardware MPE is proving to be an Achilles heel.
    This is proving to be really depressing. Until I did these tests, I didn't quite realize the depth of the problem. Granted, no one is forcing me to use hardware acceleration, but am I wrong in calling this a serious flaw?

  • RAID Utility & RAID Card

    I have my new super-duper Mac Pro tower 3.2 GHz with RAID card and I installed 4 identical 1 TB drives and made a RAID 5 array. Now, the issue is that I have had two power outages, and my UPS seems to have missed picking them up (I have a new UPS now for the tower), but here is the deal, I get the bad event, clear the event log, "initialize" the array (~1 day), Verify the array (~3 days) and RAID Utility can still give me the message that the array is "bad".
    So, I have, in sequence, a failure, a rebuild, a verify, a reboot (clean) and it goes back and complains it needs to rebuild from scratch even though it already has done so ...
    Also, clearing the errors does not seem to clear the errors from the log ...
    So, is it me ... or does the RAID Utility stink?

    FeistMeister wrote:
    Um, that was the point.
    I did a rebuild between the crash and the next one, and a verify ...
    I missed that.
    And after the second crash I did a complete initialize and verify with clean bill of health and all green dots....
    Now I am 3-4% into the initialize which will take until tomorrow sometime to finish ... then I can reverify ... but the point is that it does not seem to want to forget the past ... and "clearing" the log does not seem to make it forget the past either ...
    Well, it still boots off the array, and seems to run fine so I suppose I should not be TOO annoyed, but I expected better from Apple ... and better speed off of a dedicated $800 RAID card ... Oh, and the battery is fully charged ....
    I have never used RAID, probably because I never needed, but also I have read here and there of the requisite maintenance needed, and of problems similar to yours.
    I wish you well.

    Any clue why this error keeps repeating itself?  As far as I can tell both switches in the stack are forwarding frames appropriately.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Kevin
    P.S.  The only match to the error message that I could find was in cyrillic, and unfortunately I don't read Russian . . . .  ;-)

    Firstly, it's not going to help because the switch doesn't have a valid time set.  So I have no idea how far back were the "Traceback" errors generated.
    Next, I've been using the same IOS you are using for months and I've never seen a Traceback like that.
    I'm not saying that you are lying.  I'm suggeting that it could be something wrong with the configuration of your switch or a potential harware failure.
    Hmmmm ... Can you post the output to the following commands:
    1.  dir flash:
    2.  dir flash2:

    Building bare metal servers with SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 OSD and running into an issue with HPs where they attempt to install the Service Pack for Proliant 2013.02.0.  I am using a package with a program.  Here is the program command line:

    The application installs successfully but there is a distinct delay and then errors thrown that fails the TS.  Setting 'continue on error' is a work around but not what I want to have in the production environment.  How can I get around this issue?
     This is the same exact package and program that ran perfectly fine in SCCM 2007, but we are seeing this as a new issue since the migration to SCCM 2012.

    Hello Guys!
    HP ProLiant Support Pack / Service Pack uses different Exit Codes, due to that this software support other operating systems than Windows. Therefore HP has standardized to use other Exit Codes, which Windows Detect as failures.
    HPSum Exit Codes:
    ExitCode 1 = "Installation Successful"
    ExitCode 2 = "Installation Successful, but a reboot is required"
    ExitCode 3 = "Installation was canceled, or no components were updated"
    EcitCode 9009 = "Installation did not complete.  Check the path and make sure that the Installation exists at the specified location"
    HP recommends to use following Batch File to workaround this issue for SCCM:
    =======================START_BatchFile=============================
    :Init
      @Echo Off
      Cls
    :Main

      "%~dp0hpsum.exe" /use_latest /target:%COMPUTERNAME% /force /Use_WMI /s
    :CheckForErrors
      Echo HP Proliant Service Pack Stauts:
      If "%errorlevel%"=="0" (

    :End
      Echo An unknown status code was returned from the PSP.

  • FailureHan​dlerExampl​e does not seem to work when used in the ProcessMod​elPostStep​Failure Sequence of the Sequential​Model

    I've incorporated the FailureHandlerExample into my Test Sequences (with some minor modifications) and it works ok when it is in the SequenceFilePostStepFailure in my Sequence File. However, it says in the Sequence comments that this can be made into a ProcessModel Sequence by putting into the ProcessModelPostStepFailure Sub Sequence of the SequentalModel. I tried this, and it doesn't work. It has the same internal steps as the SequenceFilePostStepFailure Sequence, but it never gets called. What do I need to do to get this to work properly in the event of a failure?

    I have just tried the callback and it works for me. Here is what I did.
    1) open new sequence file.
    2) double click on model path shown at the bottom of the sequence editor. This opens model file associated with the new sequence file.
    3) with the process model file active, select Edit>>Sequence File Callbacks
    4) select ProcessModelPostStepFailure in the dialog box provided, click the Add button and then the Edit button.
    5) Add a message popup to the newly created ProcessModelPostStepFailure.
    6) Return to the new sequence file created in step 1 above.
    7) select the None adapter and insert a Numeric Limit Test step type.
    8) change the step limits to be 5 and 10. The step will then fail since the default measurement is 0, outside of the limits.
    9) run the sequenc
    e by selecting Execute>>Single Pass.
    The step fails and the ProcessModelPostStepFailure is called, displaying the message popup.
    See if this works for you.

  • Step failure causes sequence failure Option

    Hi !
    I need some clarification about the Step failure causes sequence failure Option , I'm using TS 4.2 Under Win XP .
    Lets say i have a Seq with 4 steps in all of then Step failure causes sequence failure Option is Checked .
    Record Result in all of the3 steps is Checked , If the first step will fail will it perform the next steps ? and will it record the result for this steps ?
    Thank U . 
    Kobi Kalif
    Software Engineer

    Record Result in all of the3 steps is Checked , If the first step will fail will it perform the next steps ? YES
    and will it record the result for this steps ? YES
    What this is signifying, is if a Step fails then when the Sequence has completed and returned back to the caller the status of this step will be FAILED.
    If you need to jump to Cleanup then you will need to set the Post Action.

  • Activate or skip "Record Results" and "Step Failure Cause Sequence Failure" for all steps of a step type

    Hello all,
    I am using teststand 3.1
    Is it possible to skip or activate ´"Record Results" and "Step Failure Cause Sequence Failure" for all steps of a step type.
    It is very much work to do this for all steps, because I have hundred of steps
    regards
    samuel

    hi,
    here is an example that will change the TS.NoResult. You just have to change this area of the sequence to suit your needs
    I haven't added any fancy stuff, such as adding a filedialog to get the seq file to change, you will find the various variables in the Locals.
    Hope it helps
    There is a version for 3.1 and 3.5.

  • How to terminate on Sequence Failure?

    HI,
    I would like to terminate the test upon a sequence failure.  However ONLY from sequences called by the MainSequence!!
    I tried to set in the PostAction --> Terminate on Fail, but it didn't stop?!
    Can you recommend a way to accomplish it?
    Also, I would like to see a Failure mark (red FAIL) on the failed sequence (if possilbe)
    Thanks
    Rafi

    Rafi,
    i tested your request and most of the things are working just as you request them:
    - A failing step configured as Post-Action Terminate at Fail will terminate the execution.
    - A sequence terminating by this action will get the result "Terminated"
    What does not work as you (seem to) desire:
    - The execution will never instantly stop, not with termination nor with abort.
    - The result "Terminated" is displayed in a dark blue box within the Sequence Editor. There will not be the result Failed for the subsequence.
    The execution will never instantly stop because TestStand always waits until possible active modules have finished. If you use the default SequentialModel, this method of temination should instantly initiate the termination procedure. Within this procedure though, all steps in the "Cleanup"-stepgroups are called going up the callstack. This is an important feature which cannot be changed.
    Regarding your failure mark: do you use an UI other than the Sequence Editor?
    hope this helps,

  • Sequence failure

    Hi All,
    Pls anybody help ,what would be output of STEP-5*:
    Step-1:
    CREATE SEQUENCE seq_test
    MINVALUE 1
    START WITH 1
    INCREMENT BY 1
    CACHE 20;
    Step-2:
    SELECT seq_test.nextval FROM dual;
    --output - 1
    Step-3:
    SELECT seq_test.nextval FROM dual;
    --output - 2
    Step-4: system failure occurs
    Step-5:
    SELECT seq_test.nextval FROM dual;
    --output - ??                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

    What sort of "system failure" do you mean? Is it just an error occured and rollback was issued? Is it the session ending? Is it the database server being restarted?
    You have caching on your sequence so there's a possibility you will get a gap depending on the nature of the failure.
    If you're looking to create gapless sequences, then think again as it's not possible to guarantee a gap free sequence even if the caching is disabled from the sequence.

  • Step Failure kicks back to upper level sequence

    I've found some good examples that almost do what I need.  For example,
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&thread.id=9925&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
    I want to use the ProcessModelPostStepFailure Engine Callback similarly so that I don't have to bury a lot of code in each level of my sequence.
    I have a main sequence that can go down many levels.  For example SeqA can call SeqB, which can call SeqC, which can call SeqD.  If there is a step failure in SeqD, I want to kickback to the setup of SeqB (programmatic definition, of course).  Seq B has a setup section that resets the part and so I can try to run through the steps again.  The 3 button prompt with continue, stop, and retry is what I want to implement.
    I've tried taking the code in the above discussion and implementing a runstate.caller.runstate.caller.runstate.nextstepindex (and setting the number of runstatecaller steps by the callstackdepth), but if you do anything other than one runstate.caller, it tries to finish the current sequence first.  So, has anyone figured out a way to back out of the current sequence, go up a callstackdepth number of levels and retry?
    Thanks, Denise

    Hi Denise,
    Can you post a simple example and your process model.

  • Reading Configure- Station Options- Immediately Goto Cleanup on Sequence Failure Checkbox Setting

    In TestStand 3.5, how do you programatically read the status of the Configure->Station Options->Immediately Goto Cleanup on Sequence Failure checkbox?  How would you programatically set this value?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the reply, but I tried your suggestion and it cannot resolve the reference.  When I typed in Engine. it was immediately replaced by RunState.Engine. so I used RunState.Engine.StationOptions.AlwaysGotoCleanupOn Failure.  When the step was executed, there was an error stating "Unknown variable or property name RunState.Engine.StationOptions".  When I go to the context tab, I see the Engine object, but I cannot expand to see what elements it contains.  Any further suggestions?   How does one find out what "Engine" contains anyway?
