AIM stand alone or through iChat?

Hi;
Why not use an AIM account in iChat... I just set up an account for myself with AIM. In the AIM preferences they ask if I want make iChat the default application. Should I choose AIM or iChat in that preference question? Can that be done in reverse, choose AIM as the default application in the iChat preferences?
Thank you
John

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, but as long as you have both applications (iChat & AIM) installed, in either preferences you can set one or the other to be default.
I prefer iChat, but that's just me... try both, and see which you like better.

Calling a web service through SSL via a stand alone java class

HI,
I am trying to call a web service through SSL via a simple stand alone java client.
I have imported the SSL certificate in my keystore by using the keytool -import command.
Basically I want to add a user to a group on the server. Say I add a user user 1 to group group 1 using an admin userid and password. All these values are set in an xml file which I send to the server while calling the server. I pass the web service URL, the soap action name and the xml to post as the command line arguments to the java client.
My xml file(Add.xml) that is posted looks like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENV = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<namesp1:modifyGroupOperation xmlns:namesp1 = "/services/modifyGroup/modifyGroupOp">
<auth>

<password>adminPassword</password>
</auth>

<groupName>group1</groupName>
<users>
<userName>user1</userName>
</users>
</namesp1:modifyGroupOperation>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
I call the client as:
java PostXML https://com.webservice.com/services/modifyGroup "/services/modifyGroup/modifyGroupOp" Add.xml
I my client, I have set the following:
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_12\\lib\\security\\cacerts");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "password");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_12\\lib\\security\\cacerts");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "password");
But when I try to execute the java client, I get the following error:

Is ichat software required for stand alone isight camera to work?

Trying to use an isight stand alone camera with a new mac mini. It will sometimes take a random picture in Phto Booth but I really can't get it to do anything in Photo Booth , Face time, or imovie. In support it says that you have to have iChat on your computer to allow the camera to work in other applications. I don't have iChat and I can't find it as a download.
I would appreciate any information on this.

explasticman wrote:... I ...try the iSight on my wife's Macbook Pro... It works...
Good work on the troubleshooting. You have now ruled out possible connection problems except for possible problems with your new mini's FW800 port. If you have or can borrow another FW device, you can try connecting it to your mini with the same cables and adapter to verify that mini's port is working.
explasticman wrote: ... It now seems like it must have to do with 10.8.5 on my new computer....
If you still believe this, use your Mac's  > Software Update... menu command and apply any needed updates.
I suggest you restart Mac and use Disk Utility to repair permissions before downloading and installing the (3 October) OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo) update. Repair permissions AGAIN immediately following the restart that completes the Combo Update.
If your problem continues, use OS X Recovery to reinstall Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Then use  > Software Update… to verify that all your software is up to date. Install any needed updates and repair permissions one more time regardless of whether additional updates are required after reinstalling OS X.
explasticman wrote: ... Is messages really just like iChat?...
No, not "just like" iChat. However, Messages is the replacement for iChat.
For summary info about Messages, see this linked page. For details, you can read all about Messages and compare it to your iChat experience using your mini's Messages > Help > Messages Help menu command.

Best codec for out to stand alone HD video playable through VLC on PC

I finished a wedding in France recorded in HD on a Sony XD CAM EX-1
I am editing in Final Cut 6.0.6
I had photos from Photoshop CS4 imported into the film and did not
interlace them. They were accepted into the timeline with the Sony footage: XD Cam EX 1080i 50 35mbs VBR.
I would like to deliver an uncompresssed version on a hard drive playable on VLC through a PC. I would also like to see if I can compress this half hour and put it on a DVD?
Final cut and Compressor had trouble with this footage to make the Quicktime
stand alone video and a 39 Program stream.mpeg
When I did get a successful copy_ they will not copy to an external Hard Drive_ it reads disc error.
Is this because of the mix of interlaced and non interlaced? Should I go back
and interlace all the photos and try again???
What is the best codec to export a full res from Final Cut? ( Quicktime, which ProRes??)
and if I try to put the half hour on a dvd not blue ray ... which codec is best? MPEG2?
Thanks very much,
Bill Phipps

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your input. I shot the wedding in France in PAL on the Sony EX1 using
XD Cam EX 1080i 50 35mbs VBR. And want to deliver to bride and groom
a full HD copy on a hard drive to be played on a pc using VLC software.
I was able to load my foootage and Sony allows me to select this in Final Cut
as a setting when I edit. I imported some
still photos from Photoshop and these are not interlaced. Something I am
now concerned about. I could easily interlace them, however, I was thinking
it would be better to de-interlace the video footage instead as everyone
viewing the film would do so on a pc.
I went on Creative Cow and have gotten a thread
from Creative Cow which tells me:
Re: To deinterlace,or not to deinterlace
by Ed Dooley on Jan 8, 2009 at 11:01:35 am
Not necessarily true. Yes you'll lose the resolution if you use the simple de-interlace filter in FCP (and many other programs). If, however, you use Frame Controls in Compressor (do a search of this forum and you'll find lots of instructions), you do not lose res, the fields get blended. There are 3rd party products that do the same thing (Nattress has one).
Having said all that, I wouldn't deinterlace unless you need to (like for the web for example), the program's going out to TV? Leave it interlaced.
Ed
I at the moment cannot find where Frame Controls in Compressor and saved my project just
before my last step of using the Final Cut Pro de-interlace filter on all of the HD Pal footage.
I had to try 3 times to make a stand alone Quick Time which normally goes smoothly for me, so
I started to wonder if the interlaced video with non-interlaced photos was the problem?
The stand alone Quick Time and the MPEG-2 both gave me trouble and I got an error when
trying to copy them to a drive that was formatted in the only cross platform format I know
being Fat 32. It is a 7200 rpm drive.
I got an answer from Creative Cow on this where the person advised me to convert the file
to Pro Res.
I would appreciate any input.
Thanks for your time and attention.

I am trying to purchase basic lightroom software (desktop stand alone), but am confsed by the cloud, which I do not really want. My aim is developing RAW from my camera.

I am trying to purchase basic lightroom software (desktop stand alone), but am confsed by the cloud, which I do not really want. My aim is developing RAW from my camera.

The standalone version doesn't use Creative Cloud features, so if you don't want the cloud just get the standalone version.
Note that if you want to sync your Lightroom desktop images to Lightroom on an iPad or iPhone (or the Android versions coming later), then a Creative Cloud subscription would be required.

Need help in creating a web application that runs on a stand alone sys.

I am planning a small java web application complete with database. I need to know if there are any ways to deploy that application on a stand alone system and that if there is any way to make an executable for that application so that the user need not go through the process of deploying the app and starting the server whenever he restarts the system. Can anyone help me in this regard? Thanks in advance.

Hi Alex,
Since I had a Gmail test servlet kicking around, I ran it on the latest V3 nightly build.
On the first run, I encountered the following nested exceptions:
javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465
--> java.net.SocketException: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Error constructing implementation (algorithm: Default, provider: SunJSSE, class: com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.DefaultSSLContextImpl)
--> java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Error constructing implementation (algorithm: Default, provider: SunJSSE, class: com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.DefaultSSLContextImpl)
--> java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Password must not be nullThe UnrecoverableKeyException is a manifestation of [https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6938|https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6938]
I worked around this by adding the following JVM config options to domain.xml
<jvm-options>-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=changeit</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit</jvm-options> (Note: the default master password is "changeit")
These lines are placed in /domain/configs/config/java-config of domain.xml for the particular server config you're using. There's only one server config in the default domain.xml shipped with V3. Then restart the server.
I retested the code on both port 465 and 587, with and without the above config changes. Without the change, they both fail the same way, and with the change, they both work. Let me know if this helps.

Recording Stand-alone Soft Synths & Virtual Instruments in Audition 3

Hi People,
Have a little problem which I'm struggling to figure out.
I have been using Cool Edit Pro for several years. My set up has always enabled me to record any standalone Software Synths via my sound card. I have always had it set up so my sound card plays through patch one and records through another patch enabling me to record in the multi track editor with no problems at all and my set up records only the soft synth/instrument, and not any waves previously recoded. Instead just plays them back so I can build up my music and play along at any given time. Although this is a rather different approach to doing things, it suites me down to the ground and I'm happy to create this way
My problem has come upon whilst trying out the new Adobe Audition 3, which is based around ASIO Drivers. Because of this I can no longer run another program (Stand alone soft synth), because Adobe hogs the ASIO driver and will not allow another program to be run at the same time. I can use the Adobe windows driver for audition no problems and I am able to continue recording how I did with Cool Edit, but I would much prefer to go along with auditions ASIO drivers to make sure I am recording with the best quality and reliability.
My Sound card is an E-MU 1616 with breakout box. I have tried numerous ways with the patch mixer to get around this, for example I have tried using my sound cards driver for audition and ASIO4ALL2 for my soft synths. One of which is Hypersonic 2, and the other being SampleTank. I cannot for the life of me get my set up and running how it was with cool edit.
I must admit that although I have played around with my settings, it could be something simple I need to do that just hasn't jumped out at me yet. My evaluation of Audition 3 runs out in 20 days and I'm almost sure that there is a way to enable my set up to work how I want it to before I can go out and buy Audition 3. I'm very comfortable with audition 3, naturally. I love the changes and extra features it has now along from the cool edit days.
I have looked into other solutions as well after scouring message boards, one of which was Cycling 74 Soundflower, this sounded like it could be an answer but unfortunately it is Mac only. If Adobe did Audition for Mac then I wouldn't hesitate in going down that route...
My other solution is to have a second computer, either a modified mid range P C, or even a Mac, to act as my synth station and have my various software synths and such running on there and playing out to my recording PC with Audition on. This would free up the ASIO to be used by Audition solely. It's a long way around but wouldn't cost the earth and would be a simple enough idea to set up. But surly, I shouldn't need to go this far out to get my ideal setup.
Anyhow, I would much appreciate any advice and ideas to help me solve this problem; I will keep working at it in the mean time.
Hope my explanation makes sense above, I can appreciate that there are other ways like just going along with another program and such, but in all honesty I like the way I work and don't really want to move on, I'm more bothered about just getting on and recording new ideas in the environment I'm so use to. I love the way Cool Edit/Audition works for me and I have developed my own methods with the software over the years. Working with just audio suits me to the ground as I record and chop up my own Guitar bass and drums, along with sounds from my field recorder and a host of other methods and ideas.
Thanks in advance

Hi!
As long as your softsynths comes in the VSTi format (most of them do now), you can insert it on a track in Audition, which has 'host' capabilities from V3.
In the Multitrack, insert a new MIDI track from the 'Insert' menu (note: MIDI Track, not just 'MIDI').
On that track pane hit the 'Sequencer' button, and it will open in a separate window. In the pane left of the keyboard you can insert your VSTi of choice, and make your MIDI connections.
Back on the Main track pane, engage the 'L' button for Live monitoring. Actual recording (of MIDI) is done in the Sequencer window.
The usual, and recommended workflow is to keep the MIDI tracks 'open', i.e. you can edit the sound in your instrument and even the notes played at any time in the process, compiling the actual audio as the last step in the mixing.
If you kind of 'insist' on doing it the old way, you can export the audio from your recorded MIDI+VSTi creations track by track like this: Leave the Sequencer window open, make a selection in the multitrack that covers the time span you have played. Solo the track (will mute all others), and use File / Export Audio Mixdown. Use 'Master' as the source. This will give you a wave rendering of what's currently in the MIDI sequencer. Qualitywise this is better since it's all internal and digital instead of in/out of soundcards with DA/AD conversion etc.
I haven't found a method for a 'live' wave recording while you play, but there may be one...
If you purchase Audition it comes with Help files explaining this in more/better detail. ;)

Ni-daqmx stand-alone matlab

Dear all,
I am about to compile my matlab code into a stand-alone program, which works fine. However, as soon as I start the data acquisition the program fails to initialize the DAQ-board.
I'm using the NI-9201 USB-ADC in combination with the NIDAQmx driver.
I localized the problem: When trying to initialize the ADC the program fails, since the required dll's are not available. I also localized the dll's and copied them into reach for the stand-alone, but it doesnt work.
As long as the MATLAB\toolbox\daq\daq\private folder is reachable for the programm/Windows, the software works. However, on the custumers computer I dont want to have MATLAB installed (what sense does it makes to have the option for distributing a stand alone version if the customer has to buy a MATLAB licence?).
Can anybody help me solving this problem? Are there any dll's I may copy into reach of the stand-alone?
(Just as information: The NI - Measurement and Automation was installed on the "customer-computer", In fact it was the exact same computer with the only difference that I renamed the MATLAB folder)
I'm looking forward to your suggestions!
Bastian

The MTALAB toolbox of question is the dataacquisition toolbox, everything else works fine
The Matlab run-time is not the problem in generell, since everything except of the NIdaqmx-dll's is linked in the program. Here a short description how it works in matlab.
- you write code, GUI's etc. and test the program in Matlab
- then you compile the application into a stand-alone
- if you hand it to a thrid person that has no Matlab licence, you also distribute the MATLAB-Runtime-Environment (MRE)
- the person installes this freely-distributable MRE on his computer and then runs the compiled program
All functions in the program are able to run, except of the NIdaqmx. As soon as I the program tries to communicate to the ADC (i.e. open a channel) the program fails. However, when I provide the dll's mentioned in the exact same directory as they were in Matlab, it works. So I'm not sure what tells the MRE that the dll's are in that folder, since it didn't work, when I just copied the dll's in the run-time directory of the stand alone.
Since the program that I would like to distribute is quite complex, re-writing the hole thing in LABView is not an option for me (also, I have no experience with LabView at all, which would require some time to get into it).
The solution I aim for would be:
1st (best solution)
I just do something in the program to have the dll's compiled and linked to in the stand-alone
2nd
when installing the program I provide the dll's. (But I dont want to provide them in the folder ..\MATLAB\...\daq\daq\private\...)
If you dont have the experience with matlab, do you know someone I could ask for this? Maybe a Matlab forum that addresses NI-ADC questions?
Thank you for your support!

Installing ODI Studio and ODI Stand-alone on 64 bit Windows 7

Can anybody tell me which ODI downloads I need in order to install ODI Studio and ODI Stand-alone on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine?
I've already created the DB repository with RCU, but I'm having trouble with the ODI installation: I just spent an hour and a half downloading 2.5GB of installers that turned out to be wrong - the SETUP.EXE complained that it was a 32 bit installer and wouldn't work on 64 bit Windows - so I now need to find a 64-bit installer instead (another 2.5GB presumably...). Not sure which of the multiple download options to choose and I don't want to spend all day waiting for the wrong files to download again.
Looking through OTN and the (typically confusing) Oracle installation docs, there's a load of stuff about using 32-bit JREs on 64-bit Windows to get around 64/32-bit Java problems later on, or lots of stuff about all the Fusion requirements etc. But I don't want the JEE stuff (I already have about 4 different WebLogic installations because every time I install any Oracle "Fusion" stuff it slaps another WebLogic in there as well), and I'm miles away from getting any Java runtime problems with ODI when I can't even figure out the right installer to use for 64 bit Windows.
Maybe it's just me: every time I try to install any of Oracle's server products (apart from the RDBMS itself), I end up wading through endless lists of cross-linked installation pre-requisites and searching OTN forums for the single secret combination of installer/JDK/JRE/operating system/database character-set/RDBMS version and desperate prayers to minor deities that will permit the installation to go ahead...
So any help will be gratefully received!

You will have to download ODI with the download option "for All Platforms" from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/data-integrator/downloads/index.html

TOC in a stand-alone doc (ala Word)?

Hello -
I'm creating the template for our stand-alone changes document in Frame 9 (we're abandoning Word - yea!). I've looked through the User Guide and experimented, but am unable to generate a TOC on the first page of the changes doc that can be refreshed and that links to the headings it references. We had this in Word and I expect my coworkers will want it in the Frame version.
So far, I can generate a separate TOC file and cut and paste it into the changes doc. The formatting looks good, but I'm can't refresh or access a page by clicking its TOC entry. Help!
I'm wondering if I should just make every changes doc we write be a book with 2 files in it: 1. IntroPage/TOC and 2. Changes doc content. If it would generate as a single PDF, then it would appear to be a single document to reviewers and customers. Maybe I've answered my own question?
I cut my tech writing teeth on Frame 5.5 and can't tell you how happy I am to be back on Frame!
Thanks!
Barry

fwiw, I don't use a ToC for this: the three-monthly updates of My Big Document use a ToC for the standard Table of Contents and then a LoR with hyperlinks (running off conditions) for the change log – sample attached. Not 100% automatic, but it only takes me a couple of minutes to do the final sort/select before publication. There are often several approaches to delivering information ;-}

Has anyone got the QT stand alone installer to work?

OK, Has anyone got the QT stand alone installer to work that has a problem getting IT6 to work also?
You can look at my original thread and see what I've been through: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=262511&tstart=0
and now am stuck with an old version of QT and no version of IT! Can't update iPod, can't do crap. How slow can Apple be to fixing whatever bug is in IT6?! It's obvious that alot of people are having trouble and many of us are having the exact same or similar problems. Apparently a call to support is no help.
Mark

I didget QT stand alone to install. I had the error -3 message. I unistalled itunes and quicktime. Then I reinstalled using my orginal ipod disc. I then was asked to upgrade to ipod 6 or something. Which I did. Still got the error -3. Then I got the QT stand alone to install by it self and every thing works great now. There was some thing stating if I wanted to "Unistall QT for windows" I said yes. There were some error associated with removing "QT for Windows" during the install but after that it works great. It took something like 20 min. for it to download when it took itunes only 7 min. to download earlier.

EJB lookup works in embedded OC4J but not stand-alone

For EJB lookup, I use the class "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory" as described by the OC4J servlet guide (http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/A97688_10/generic.903/a97680/develop.htm#1003973). So my code looks like this:
Hashtable map = new Hashtable();
map.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
map.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ormi://server:port/app-business");
map.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "admin");
map.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "password");
map.put("dedicated.rmicontext", "true");
InitialContext context = new InitialContext(map);
Object thing = context.lookup("MyEjb");
EJBHome feedback = (EJBHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(thing, "com.company.ejb.MyEjbHome");
The last insert into the map (map.put("dedicated.rmicontext", "true");) wasn't mentioned neither in the servlet guide nor the EJB one. But without it, I'd always get some "domain is null" error.
Now this code above works flawlessly in the embedded OC4J of JDeveloper. But it always hangs in the "Object thing = context.lookup("MyEjb");" line when executed either in a stand-alone OC4J (the one from JDeveloper launched through the batch file in [JDeveloper directory]\jdev\bin\start_oc4j.bat) or in the OC4J in iAS.
Does anybody know why this happens or how to fix it? I know that there are other ways of EJB lookup in servlets but since we also have plain Java classes for testing purposes that access EJBs, this seemed like the simplest thing to do for both Java classes and servlets.

I was referring to the java client case where this optoin is not required. In general for web clients one doesn't use the rmi initial context to find the bean. This is because the bean and the webclient are both packaged in the same application. One defines the ejb-ref in the web.xml for the bean and then looks it using the default initial context. Something like
Context ctx = new InitialCOntext();
ctx.lookup("bean ejb-ref-name");
However if you must use rmi for accessing the bean from the web client then the dedicated connection property is required.
For java clients you would setup the rmi context environment.
Since you are trying to use a common utility class for both java and webclient I would recommend that you look into packaging the java client as a j2ee application client. Basically in that case you would be able to define a ejb-ref in the aplication-client.xml and use the default initial context in code for both the cases.
Hope that helps

Stand alone oracle report - need help asap

Hi,
We are in ORACLE Apps 11i. We started using ORACLE BI Publisher to create templates for the Oracle Reports. How we are doing reports now is
1) create data definition XML which has all the queries embedded.
2) Create Data definition in XML Publisher Admin responsibility.
3. Attach the Data definition XML to that.
4. Create a concurrent program definition for the report with XML Type and run the report and save the data file with tags.
5. Create the template ,rtf in Word and export data using ORACLE BI Publisher. 6. Create template definition in the XML Publisher Admin responsibility and attach this .rtf to that and run the report.
Now I have a requirement stating that the REPORT SHOULD BE AN ORACLE STAND ALONE REPORT AND THE REPORT NEEDS TO BE RUN THROUGH CONCURRENT PROGRAM SCREEN. I am planning on doing the following steps.
1. I have to create an .rdf using report builder.
2. Create concurrent program executable and definition for the report.
3. Create data definition in XML Publisher admin responsibility.
4. Run the report in apps.
5. Create the tempalte .rtf in word and export data with the XML Data file with tags,
6. Run the report.
Am I correct? Any help is appreciated asap.
Thanks
Akil

You said,
standalone report ?? is that mean without using bipublisher ??
1st method.
create concurrent program, output xml,
create data template, create datadefintion , attach Datatemplate.
run the cc pgm, get xml, design RTF , create template definition , attach RTF,
run the cc pgm, you get the pdf output.
2nd method.
create rdf,
create concurrent program, output xml,
run the cc pgm, get xml, design RTF ,
create datadefintion , create template definition , attach RTF,
run the cc pgm, you get the pdf output.
, both requires, cc pgm, rtf, data defintion , template definition.
only differnece is , how do you get the data, i mean, xml...
data template or RDF.

QuickTime stand alone not playing video, only audio

Am running QuickTime stand alone on my PC with Windows XP Home 2002. For some reason the .mov files that were created with my digital camera will not play video (only audio) on this computer. The files seem to play fine on other computers. Have also found out that I can play downloand or streamed videos (only audio).
Can't figure out why video won't play. Other video formats (.avi for example) play fine through Windows Player.
Any insight? . . . anyone?
