A "stillborn" thread - can someone define it for me?

I've never come across this terminology before - anyone know what it means?

I don't recall hearing the term before either, but my guess is it would be an instantiated Thread instance which never had the start() method called.

  • Can we define users for both studio and integrator server

    Can someone please let me know how can we define users for both studio and integrator server so that the user can be used to view UI page but not modify it.I want to define user in studio which will access the Page but not modify it. And the user in integrator server should be able to view scheduled jobs.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Civilclerk1,
    In order to achieve your requirement, we can try to use the following expression to instead the last_name column and first_name field:
    last_name: =iif(Fields! staff_role.Value="Lead Atty" or Fields! staff_role.Value="BK Mgr" or Fields! staff_role.Value="Partner" ,Fields! last_name.Value,nothing)
    first_name: =iif(Fields! staff_role.Value="Lead Atty" or Fields! staff_role.Value="BK Mgr" or Fields! staff_role.Value="Partner" ,Fields! first_name.Value,nothing)
    Besides, if we don’t want see the blank row in the tablix, we can add a filter as below in the tablix:
    Expression:=iif(Fields! staff_role.Value="Lead Atty" or Fields! staff_role.Value="BK Mgr" or Fields! staff_role.Value="Partner" ,1,0)
    Operator:=
    Value:=1
    If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
    Thanks,

    When your account becomes disabled, Apple provides the following recommendation:
    "This message means that someone tried and failed to sign in to your account multiple times. The Apple ID system disables the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You need to reset your password, following the instructions at the Apple ID website".
    Visit iForgot.com and follow the instructions there.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

  • XAML: Can we define style for nested elements?

    Can we define a style that will target "all TextBlock elements inside Border elements of style XXX"?
    I have a style <Style TargetType="Border" x:Key="XXX"> and I want all TextBlocks inside Borders with style XXX to have red Foreground.
    In CSS it would look like this:
    <html>
    <head>
    <style>
        p { color: red; }
        p.XXX { color: green; }
        p.XXX span { color: blue; }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>red text</p>
        <p class="XXX">green text</p>
        <p class="XXX">green text <span>and blue text</span></p>
    </body>
    </html>

    Hi Michael,
    I've moved this to a more topical forum for you.
    Xaml styles do not cascade like CSS does.

  • Crackling loudspeaker? Can someone test this for me?

    I've noticed something that might be abnormal about the speakers on my iPhone 4S.
    Could someone test this for me please? Go to ringtones, and play the 'bell tower' ringtone making sure your ringer volume is all the way up. Listen closly to the speaker, can you notice a slight crackling sound at parts?
    Thanks

    So when you play the bell tower tone at full volume it sounds perfectly cripst and doesn't 'crackle' or distort a little bit because mine does.
    Also when I've asked siri a question, the tone after that when it plays sounds like it distorts a bit to.
    Cheers

  • Can someone confirm this for me?

    Can someone try running ISOBuster 1.1?  (http://www.isobuster.com)  Without a BSOD of NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS?
    How about Windows Component Update?  Without a BSOD of the same error?
    It seems this stupid BSOD plagues me and keeps me from installing Visual Studio.  
    I've tried the Registry Tweak and it still happens.
    I've tried different BIOS's with clean installs.
    I've tried different drivers with those different BIOS's with clean installs.
    I'm stumped and sad...

    Have you recently installed a new virus scanner?
    Winntmag has this to say : http://www.winntmag.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=3396
    NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS 0x35
    With this code, if you've added a new virus scanner or someone has accessed a shared volume over the network for the first time on the machine, the Server device driver can be at fault. The Server device driver constructs I/O request packets with a slot for every device driver on the path to the disk. Sometimes the number of I/O request packets the Server device driver allocates is insufficient, resulting in this Stop Code. Try increasing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ServicesLanmanServer\IrpStackSize setting to a number higher than 4 (or whatever it's set to) and see whether the problem goes away

  • Can someone tell me for sure if the Nike  footpod works with the new 7th gen nano?

    I know that the nano can work by affixing to your hip and using the inbuilt sensor. I also realize that is not as accurate.
    I am wanting to specifically know does the new iPod nano sync with the Nike + footpod sensor - and recieve data from that. I've seen a couple of reports that it doesnt. I've seen a couple of reports that it does. The manual is useless. The reviews that says it does, says the sensor is now built into the ipod nano to recieve the data from the footpod wirelessly.
    Thanks for someone telling me for sure one way or another. I want to get one to run with, but I want to use the footpod and heartrate sensor.

    Yes it does. This is from the user manual:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf
    I found this on page 54.
    You can also use iPod nano with a Nike+ sensor or a Bluetooth heart rate monitor. Set up Bluetooth fitness devices in Fitness (see Setting Fitness preferences on page 34).

  • Can Someone Answer This For Me?!?!

    i got the kin one 3 days ago...i dont really like it that much because i cant view videos or download apps or really do anything that a smartphone should do and it is costing my parents $30 dollars extra a month for nothing basically. My question is that can i take the phone back and exchange it for a new one? Isn't there like a 30 day exchange or something with Verizon? I need to know this soon thank you for taking the time and reading this and answering it.

    You have 30 days to return the phone, and your account will return to the status it was before you upgraded.  Or you can exchange the phone for another - but you are only allowed one exchange, so make sure the second one is the one you really want,as that's the one you will keep.

  • BEx Analyser: How can I define colours for different levels of a hierarchy?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a report in BEx Anaylser that includes a hiearchy of 9 levels.
    For a better overview, I want to define different colours for the cells of each level. In this way, the user should be able to see which numbers belong to which hierarchy level. How can I do this?
    Best regards
    Daniel

    Dear Anujit,
    Thanks for your answer.
    Seriously? I cannot do this with BEx Analyzer other than using Excel VBA macro?
    Cheers, Daniel

  • Kernel panic log: can someone decipher this for me, if possible?

    My brother has an iMac G4 with 512 MB of RAM. This computer used to be fine and then a few months ago, it started having random kernel panics. He wiped the drive and reinstalled the OS and it was fine for about 3 months.
    Now it's kernel panicking randomly about 2 times a day, when checking email or burning a CD or just browsing the web. I can cause it to panic every time I try to repair the permission. On a hunch, I removed the user Library folder, logged out and back in again. The OS created a new user Library folder. I then tried repairing permissions. No panic. Through a process of elimination, I narrowed the culprit down to several preference files, including a couple of login-related plists. Individually none of these plists caused the panice, but together they did.
    So I deleted those plists and used fresh ones. I tried repairing permissions. First time, no panic. Second time, no panic. Third time, panic.
    I can't figure out what's messing his system up. He has an external hard drive, a printer, usb camera, and an iPod attached. Disconnecting those doesn't stop the kernel panics. I also ran Apple's Hardware Test several times and it found nothing.
    Here is the panic log. I would really appreciate someone's input and suggestions.

    Hi,
    Can somebody help regarding the following error message:
    Source DB: SQL 2005, using MS OLDEDB Provider for SQL
    Destination: Oracle 10g, using Oracle Provider for OLEDB.
    In a table “EventLog” I have 800,000 rows and using OLEDB Source(SQL) and OLEDB Destination(Oracle) controls. After loading 702,000 rows I am getting the following error and stops the flow:

    I can see some buffer related issue here, but can somebody guide me hot to come out of this .
    For the Data Flow Control properties that I have(default values):

    Thanks

    Hi David,
    The things are changing depending on "DefeaultMaxBufferRows" and "DefaultBufferSize" values.
    When I use the default values that I got in the package when I created it, the number of records loading up to a 10% and throwing the above exception. When I increaded these two property values to double, the a 70% records loaded but finally I enedup with the same error message.
    As you mentioned I have tarced for the cause of ROW-00060  error, but could not get a proper solution.
    I feel its something related to the buffer sizes.
    But when I keep a maximum buffer and test it then I got a different error saying that insufficient memory after loading a 90% of records.
    Thanks
    Sreenaiah

    I tried also like,
          t_vbfa_pgi TYPE TABLE OF VBFAvb with header line.
          t_vbfa_pgi TYPE TABLE OF V45I_VBFA_TABL with header line.
          t_vbfa_pgi TYPE TABLE OF V45I_VBFA with header line.
    BUT NO USE!!!!!!!
    1) How I hv to define the t_vbfa in my prog.
    thanq

    Hi Srinivas,
    Try this
      DATA t_vbfa TYPE v45i_vbfa_tabl WITH HEADER LINE.
    Also check FM BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST for the declaration.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • Can we define path for a bean out side work space?

    <bean id="HSBCMarketsReports"
                   class="HSBCMarketsReportsConfiguration">
                   <property name="reports">
                        <map>
                        <entry key="PinnacleReportsConfig" value="PinnacleReportsConfig.xml"/>
                        <entry key="PinnacleReportsData" value="PinnacleDummyData.xml"/>
                        </map>
                   </property>
         </bean>it works well but when make the same as
    <bean id="HSBCMarketsReports"
                   class="HSBCMarketsReportsConfiguration">
                   <property name="reports">
                        <map>
                        <entry key="PinnacleReportsConfig" value="PinnacleReportsConfig.xml"/>
                        <entry key="PinnacleReportsData" value="C:\PinnacleDummyData.xml"/>
                        </map>
                   </property>
         </bean>
    it says C:\PinnacleDummyData.xml not found i work space , how to make it look for the file out side work space (particularly given location)

    it says C:\PinnacleDummyData.xml not found i work space , how to make it look for the file out side work space (particularly given location)Why dont you include the xml file in your workspace/web application?
    All these are custom tags, right? So somewhere in the code for the custom tags, it would load the xml file for parsing.
    There are different ways to load a file. The first is to use the absolute path (not recommended) and anyways I dont think your application does it that way because then your file would have been loaded even if it's outside the web application folder.
    The better approach is to load the file as a resource stream.
    The ServletContext object has a method getResourceAsStream() to load files from the web application path. But then the xml file has to be inside the web application and if this is indeed how your tags have been coded, you have no other option but to include the xml file in your web application.
    There is another way - to use the ClassLoader's getResourceAsStream() method. The ClassLoader looks up the classpath variable to search for files. In this case, you need to add your xml file location (c:/dir or whatever) to the application server's classpath. Look up in the startup scripts for your application.
    As I said, it all depends upon the tag code that looks up the xml file and whether you can tweak it.
