New features for InterConnect interoperability with the rest of the Oracle Integration and SOA stack are being added to the upcoming 10.1.2 Phase 2 release. InterConnect provides application and data integration for a hub and spoke model where the hub is in the Oracle database. BPEL provides comprehensive orchestration, workflow and data/app integration on the mid-tier. In 10.1.3, Oracle SOA will expand with new mid-tier based ESB functionality such as standalone adapters, configurable routing service and service relationship view. Hope this helps.

Thanks Alex and Calvados,
I'm just surprised Steve/Apple made such a big announcement as though these technologies were already well known, discussed, documented, and used on the Mac (or in Safari).
Getting the development done in the 18 days Steve quoted seems like a steep hill to climb.
My other thought is that if the iPhone apps will run on the iPhone under Safari, then shouldn't they also run on Windows under Safari. In this way Apple could get a bunch of special apps to run on Windows but require Apple [free} software, i.e. Safari, as the 'virtual OS'. This could get more Windows users to see the advantages of OSX over Windows, and eventually lead to more switchers, thus enlarging Apple's market share.
Alex has noted some IO interfaces that are speific to the iPhone and telephony, but Safari is a general browser. Google has created a spreadsheet app which I understand is based on AJAX-like principles. Why not all sorts of other apps, mainly targetting usage in the web domain. Link this to a .Mac account as storage (wasn't .Mac going to feature more in the new Leopard OSX?) and we have a trojan for getting Apple software usage on Windows machines.

Adobe Captivate 4

Does anyone have any information on when Adobe plans to
release Captivate 4? Even a general time line would be great - like
2008 or 2009. I'm still on Captivate 2, but I want to upgrade. I'd
hate to upgrade now to version 3 only to have version 4 released in
the next month or two - and have to pay to upgrade again. If,
however, Captivate 4 won't be released till 2009, then I suppose I
should proceed with the upgrade to version 3. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

All you can get is speculation, I guess, so I'll add my own.
The public announcements about a CP 4 beta (like this one
http://blogs.adobe.com/silke.fleischer/2008/08/adobe_captivate_4_beta_coming.html)
were made about 6 or 7 weeks ago. I'd guess, from past
experience, it takes
a couple of months for that beta to really get going. After
that you have
anything from 3 months to a year of beta testing before you
see the finished
product.
So, like Rick said, "sometime next year". In your shoes I'd
make the
decision based on what Captivate 3 has to offer today, and
how long you
could live with it or without it ... CP4 will probably bring
new 'must have'
features for you to agonise over.

I couldn't begin to guess what's possible natively, but since
Captivate 4
will be extensible with Widgets, I think you can maybe assume
someone,
somewhere has the knowledge and skill to build thus feature.

Text to speech problem

Hello,
I have recently been having problems with my macbook pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8 announcing the time, and more recently I have had a general text to speech problem. It used to annouce the time perfectly every hour, however now whenever the time changes to noon or midnight in announces instead "it is now 12 o *garble" with the garble sounding like the computer glitching or like a cd skipping. That wasnt too big of problem but now it has started to effect my ipod shuffle, and text to speech messes up the pronuciation on about half the songs on it. Does anybody have suggestions or have they dealt with a similiar problem?
Thanks!

> No, XP 64bit.
64-bit might be a problem... I don't think CP is fully 64-bit
compatible
yet, and the TTS engine is produced by a third party, so I
don;t know if it
supports 64-bit either.

Tutorial - how to track user progress in a Captivate movie

I wanted to start working with the new scripting capabilities
in Captivate 4 and thought a good first project would be to create
a set of variables and custom actions and execute the actions based
on the state of the variables. I wrote up a description/walkthrough
with screenshots and the source .cp is downloadable here:
http://elearninglive.com/wordpress/2009/01/tracking-user-progress-in-captivate-4-using-var iables-and-actions/
Hopefully it proves useful to others!
A couple of things I mention at the bottom of the post in
regards to the new features in CP4:
1. The actions window is amazingly slow once you add more
than a handful of actions. Perhaps it's just my machine? I have a
very fast machine with lots of ram, but perhaps it's something
unique to my environment?
2. You can't 'chain' actions. In other words, you cannot use
'execute multiple actions' setting to execute user-created actions,
just the built-in ones, which seems to me a pretty big limitation.
I had to work around it.
3. As an add-on to #1 above - there is no way to
import/export code. Since the actions window is so slow it would be
ideal if we could just import code written in a text file, or
better yet, have a simple code editor (like the actions panel in
Flash).
My 2 cents, fwtw, as a new CP4 user....

The biggest problem Authorware had was poor marketing. Second
was it had no
way to natively create the eye-candy that Flash was wowing
the world with.
Third, there was no attempt by Macromedia modernise
Authorware with a lot of
very basic things that would have made a huge difference to
everyone's
perception of the tool
Fourth, Marketing kept telling people Authorware was dead,
from about
Authorware 5. I think the Flash team was on a bonus for
converting people

I think it is clear to those of us that have had to move to
Captivate from
Authorware that Captivate is *very* lacking in specific
advanced features
and functionality that old hands are used to. As with any
product, users are
bombarding adobe with requests that boost the power and scope
of Captivate.
It's a natural progression.

I agree - but it is a lot closer this time around :-)

Failure to launch in Vista

Users CD fails to start in Vista. I have a medical CD that
launches with autostart. It points to my launching Authorware7
Title.exe file. I have received no other errors from users. Any
ideas what might cause this? Is there a Vista compatability
problem? Here is what the user said:
"I have your RCIS cd and I am getting the following error
message when I try to run it in Windows Vista. I have not had a
problem running it on Windows XP. The error message says:
"Title.exe - Bad Image" this is at the top of my tab. And the error
message box says: "JS32.dll is either not designed to run on
Windows ir it contains an error. Try installing the program again
using the original installation media or contact my software vendor
for support." I am not trying to install the program I an just
trying to run it from the CD on this laptop."

There is not an inherent incompatibility between AW and
Vista. I've
developed and tested Authorware content on Vista almost daily
for 2 years
with no insurmountable problems.
Certainly I have never encountered an issue with the
JavaScsrpt dll.
As a first test, ask your customer to try running your
Authorware exe in XP
compatability mode.

You should be able to use very similar code - buy instead of
pointing to the
swf directly, it's likely you need to point, instead, to the
html file that
is usually published with the swf.
Without seeing the exact code you are talking about with
DemoShield, I'm
reluctant to offer you any alternative. Simply put, a
standard link pointing
to the correct html file should work. You can get clever and
use JavaScript
if you have specific needs, but the standard HTML link should
be fine for
your needs.
Oh - maybe you should look at Captivate's Manu builder, as
perhaps this will
offer what you are looking for.
