Anyone tried striping two G-SATA arrays on PCI-express G5?

A sales guy at GTECH told me I could connect two of their G-SATA arrays with a four-port adapter card, stripe the arrays and get increased performance over a single G-SATA array. I understand the theory behind all this, but given that the G-SATA arrays and the adapter cards are brand new for the PCI-Express G5's, I'm wondering if anyone has yet done this in the real world.

I'm buying a new quad core G5 so I can update to Final Cut Studio. I'm currently running FCP 2 on a dual 533 G4. I edit mid- to high-end corporate videos and the occasional low budget commercial. I'll probably work in 8-bit uncompressed or DVCPro 50. I own a DVCPro 25 camcorder and DVCPro deck with SDI. I plan on getting the Kona LSe card.

Has anyone tried driving two external monitors (3 total displays) on the iMac 2011 through the thunderbolt ports on Windows 7 Bootcamp?

I would love to purchase an iMac 2011 with the Thunderbolt ports, but I need to occasionally boot to Windows 7 Bootcamp.
I imagine this will work in general... but has anyone tried driving two external monitors using the Thunderbolt ports in Windows 7 Bootcamp?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I am trying to get this working at the moment. both monitors are fine in Lion but I am losing the second monitor in windows. I will update you when I get it working.

Has anyone tried a Western Digital SATA RAID hard drive on a non-RAID controler?

Because of a compatability problem, I want to try a different brand of SATA II drive on my non-RAID motherboard. The WD RAID drives have great specs but I don't know if they will work. WD says they are ONLY for RAID and not to put them on a non-RAID board. My theory is that they will be more reliable over the long term because they are a heavier duty drive.
Has anyone tried this and if so, what were the results?

I think there was some confusion about what I am asking. It is definately not a duplication of my other post and some of the information in that other post is incorrect because I JUST found out that my motherboard controller IS a RAID controller even though I am not using it as one. I will correct that when I am finished with this post.
The other post was about a specific model of Maxtor drive that doesn't work on my motherboard. This post is about Western Digital. The only reason that I even mentioned the word RAID in my previous post is that there is a known compatibility problem with RAID controllers and that drive. I wanted to emphasize that my problem was not the one of that known compatibility problem, but because it is a RAID controller, it might be that problem.
When you use the motherboard's controller as a non-RAID controller, you do format the drives individually, not as a RAID. I know that because I did it that way, not realizing I even had the option of using RAID on this board. That works fine on one model of Maxtor hard drive and does not work at all on the other model of Maxtor hard drive.
What I want to know now is: Will the Western Digital RAID drives will work on a non-RAID controller. The controllers on my add-in card is not RAID. Also, will that drive work on my motherboard's controller even though it is not being used as RAID.
Here is a link to the WD site's description of one such drive. There are several other WD RAID drives, this is just one example... http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=238&Language=en It does not state whether or not they will work well in a non-RAID environment.

Has anyone tried 1 terabyte drives with Apple G5 PCI RAID card 1M9699g?

I am planning on setting up RAID 5 on one of my PPC G5 Xservers with an Apple PCI RAID card and 3 Hitachi 1 terabyte HDs. At $180 a drive and a $300 or so for a card this seems like a good setup. Has anyone tried this or have any suggestions.

It worked, for about $860 I now have a 1.8 TB xServer

Anyone tried the Promise

Has anyone any experience running non RAID Hdds from the Promise. I am thinking of having a go with it!
I simply cannot understand the BIOS S-ATA / P-ATA setup instructions (see my other posts especially in PIGVOMITS'S thread WARNING: BIOS 1.8 SATA with PATA Problems)
AND my system stubbornly refuses to find all 5 devices using the alleged correct S-ATA only setting!
AND my P-ATA Hdds are both ATA133 which unlike the intel, the Promise controller supports.
So if you have got your 2 Hard Disks cracking along (un RAIDed) on the Promise controller I would be very interested to hear!

I simply cannot understand the BIOS S-ATA / P-ATA setup instructions (see my other posts especially in PIGVOMITS'S thread WARNING: BIOS 1.8 SATA with PATA Problems)
Here is a thought that I think may work, but I've tried it:
1. I presume you've enabled the SATA options in the system BIOS.
2. And I also presume you've installed the Promise driver and can access the configuration utility from the BIOS, via "control-F" on startup.
3. If the above are true, then I think you can enter the config utility and declare a striped arrays, and put one hard disk in the array; then declare another striped array and put another disk in the array. You've thus defined two independent striped arrays, with one drive in each array. The config utility allows one hard drive in a striped array so this should work and may get you what you want: Two independent SATA drives on a single controller.
Good luck.

WinXP 64 Bit, Anyone tried yet????

Hi Guys,
Firstly, I fixed my problem I talked about in my last post.
Turned out the VGA Card was bad, I say bad, what I mean is, when you look at the card from the side (?) The contacts were worn out and wouldnt make contact with the VGA slot thus preventing the MB from powering up :o|
Beleive me, I was PISSED !!!!
Anyway, has anyone tried installing WinXP 65 bit extended version yet?
Would be nice to get some feedback as I have a copy and would like to find out if it is worth the hassle??
Not sure if there are enough drivers around.
I know that a few things have been left out of the system by the people at Mikey Soft.
What with the 32bit subsystem, have heard that 32 bit applications run slower than if i installed on regular XP ??
oh well.
K8N Neo Platinum
AMD 64 Bit 3200+ with Gigabyte Cooler Pro
1GB Kingston RAM
160 GB Samsung SATA
MSI WLAN Card
Sound Blaster 5.1 Digital
MSI FX5900XT VGA Card

The first time you re-installed Win 32 on the raid that was a bit drastic. A repair ought to have done the job.
The problem was probably that you disconnected the array but that's where the boot.ini was and that file needed to be modified to add the path to the Win64 install.
Since you took out the array the Win64 install created a new boot.ini on the PATA drive. Even when you tell BIOS to boot off the array, Windows has a bad habit of looking at the IDE channels & using the boot.ini if it finds one there - but the file it found didn't point to the array of course.
So basically if you already have Win32 on the array I would leave that array connected normally when installing Win64 on the PATA drive and all should be well.
I've installed Win64 on the same array as my Win32 install and they co-exist happily. I reckon that's the most efficient way to do it. The main thing is to make separate partitions for Win32, Win64 and data files when you install Win32 in the first place. The two OSs can share the same data files, incuding stuff like email.

Anyone using a LaCie external SATA drive?

LaCie has a "LaCie Two Big with PCI-E Card 2-Disk RAID System with SATA II" which might work for my purposes.
I'm using a late 2005 G5 Quad with PCI-Express slots. I wonder if anyone with a similar G5 has tried this drive and might say what their experience with it and the included PCI-Express card has been?
Thanks, denny

No experience with that particular LaCie or PCI-e. However, I have some experience with LaCie external FW drives, Granite Digital SATA drive(s)/enclosures with a Highpoint PCI-X card and a MacGurus SATA II drive/enclosure with the Sonnet PCI-X card and of the bunch I MUCH prefer the MacGurus. Sold all my LaCie drives after having to send a 500GB drive back... and then it came back still broke. THe only FW drives I have left are "old" G-Tech drives. The Granite Digital is OK, but LOUD. I love everything about the MacGurus enclosure, especially port multiplication.

Mac Pros extra two internal sata ports broken since Leopard 10.5??

I have a Mac Pro and according to xlr8yourmac.com and the newertech website, there are four sata ports for your hard drives PLUS an additional two more sata ports directly on the motherboard. Through a complicated and difficult disassembly, it is possible to dissect your mac pro and install their cable which they sell for about $30, and get at the rear of your mac pro housing connectors for these two internal sata ports. In short, it's nothing more than an extension cable that fits into a neat housing at the back of the mac pro. You can then plug up to two esata drives into those jacks and they are basically hooked into the macpro motherboard. I ordered this cable and it worked splendidly since 10.4.8 and for 10.4.9 without any issue (that I could tell). I was even able to raid them together etc etc. (edit to be clear I mean I had two Lacie 500Gb drives with esata, firewire 800, 400 and USB 2 on them).
When I installed 10.5 it was all broken!! What a disaster. I can't use these drives on the firewire bus (which by the way they work fine on) because I am already tieing up that with other devices and drives. I need these extra two buses, plus they were **** fast before- I guess it's the same bus as the internal drives get.
I have contacted Lacie - no luck - and also newertech, and did so again today, but so far no luck, and apple, no luck and even submitted a feedback request back when we were on 10.5.1 (just released at that time), and no luck. I hoped 10.5.2 would restore this functionality.
I was told Apple do not normally go out of their way to kill unintended functionality but could this be the case on this occasion?

www.xlr8yourmac.com its over my head but...
A Copy of the April 23rd, 2007 news page post is below (in reply to eSATA Extender cables (w/PCI slot bracket) from Newer Tech for use with the 2 unused ports on the Mac Pro motherboard.)
" this may be of some interest for your readers.
From the Intel 631xESB/632xESB I/O Controller Hub data sheet:
"Hot-Plug Operation
Dynamic Hot-Plug (for example, surprise removal) is not supported by the SATA host controller. However, using the PCS register configuration bits and power management flows, a device can be powered down by software, and the port can then be powered off, allowing removal and insertion of a new device. "
(I asked if he knew of any way to do that in OS X.)
the SATA controller does support AHCI mode, which enables hot plugging (same as with the raid southbridges ICH6R - ICH8R which support hot plugging with raid drivers from Intel without Intel assuring this).
But it does not support AHCI if the PATA port is used as in the Mac Pro. And without AHCI there is no way to do hot plugging.
Using a SATA DVD drive may not mean AHCI is used automatically. The controller has to be switched from IDE to AHCI mode. Maybe the Mac Pro does it on startup or some EFI specialist can finds out how to do that.
BTW Tiger can handle an ICH8R in AHCI mode on all SATA ports without a problem.
Kind regards,

Info/Tips on using Spare SATA Ports with Windows: (from Jan 15th, 2008 news page) This may have come up in the past and I'd forgotten it (don't own a Mac Pro yet) but in reply to a post yesterday (1/15/2008) on the Pioneer SATA Blu-Ray reader/Superdrive combo drive, a reader mentioned the spare SATA ports are not usable in Windows XP at least with the standard drivers with Bootcamp. (Most readers have used the ports in OS X although I've not searched drive db reports for anyone that mentioned using Bootcamp/Windows also. BTW - The spare ports are bootable for OS X use, as noted in this article - although drives are not shown/usable when booted from Windows with standard drivers.)
(Update) Here's a reader mail w/tips on using the spare ports with Windows via a replacement chipset driver install and grub bootloader edit:
" after finding this thread in the onmac forums I finally was able to get my pioneer sata drive to work under bootcamp. Basically you have to do the following:
- Install Win XP and ubuntu linux with a pata dvd drive in XP, change the ide 2680 driver to the intel ahci driver found here (downloadcenter.intel.com) S5000 Based Server AHCI SATA Storage Driver for Windows.
- Boot into ubuntu and change the stage1 file of the grub bootloader to this:
http://www.olofsson.info/grub/stage1
This keeps the mac pro in ahci mode when booting a foreign OS
Now you can boot windows using the linux partition, this will start grub and keep the mac pro in the correct mode
I also installed Refit to make things a little easier but as far as i know using Alt key when booting should work too.
if anyone tries this and has any questions feel free to ask

Has anyone tried pre-compression to improve image quality?

I am having a hard time creating a usable disk image in iDVD from my 1 hr 45 min FCE movie. Portions of the video are extremely pixelated, usually the grainier, lo-light clips.
Since I don't have Compressor or DVD Studio Pro to use to get more control over the compression, I considered trying to "pre-compress" my video by exporting the entire master sequence using Quicktime conversion to an Mpeg4 format and playing with the data rate so that it would be well under the 4 GB limit of a DVD5. Then I was going to re-import the Mpeg4 into a new FCE sequence, add chapter markers and export again as Quicktime movie into iDVD.
My reasoning is that iDVD will no longer have to compress the file and the pixelization won't be there if it isn't there in the Mpeg4. Has anyone tried anything like this to overcome iDVD's compression and get more control?
If you think I should post over at iDVD forum please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

What you want to do does not make sense. You are going to ADD more compression
iDVD will compress your video no matter what you do ... it has to, in order to create the MPEG2 that comprises a DVD. iDVD will always do this ... even if you could create your own MPEG2 (which you can't do if you don't have Compressor) it would still try to do that compression ... it is a consumer app designed for ease of use
The more you "step on" your video before it goes to to iDVD the worse it will be.
You are right; you need more control over your MPEG2 compression and you can't tinker with iDVD's compression engine like you could with Compressor
The symptons you describe are not unusual. I fin that anything over 90 minutes in iDVD can give you potential probs. The quality of the original video had to be really, really high ... and doing a double compression ain't gonna help that.
Is it feasible to split the project in half and make two DVDs? If the project is under an hour, you can use iDVD's Best Performance preference which tends to give you a better result.
Remember, iDVD doesn't really care about the "size" of your project, only its length, so tinkering around to reduce the file size won't help you.
It is unfortunate that Compressor is not a standalone program and that DVD Studio Pro is now only included as part of the Final Cut Suite. I suppose you could troll e-Bay to see if there are any older, independent versions of the program still kicking around

RAM Upgrade for Late 2009 Mac Mini -- anyone tried 16gb?

Just a stupid question.. I've got a Mac Mini server (late 2009) that came with 4Gb of RAM.. The machine has never been speedy by any means and after finally getting some time to look into why, I think I know mostly why.. I've got the machine setup handling DNS, email (with Amavis, spam handling,etc), both MySQL and Postgres databases, Apache+WebDAV+iCAL and of course handling 2-3 user accounts being logged in at all times (using iTunes, Safari, etc). if I pull up Activity Monitor or use the "MemoryStick" utility, I see that my RAM usage is typically (almost always) at about 96% used with 7 swap files running.. I've never seen it below about 95% used. I know that this machine is capable of being outfitted with 8Gb of RAM (although Apple does not necessarily endorse that config). So, this leads to my next question -- has anyone taken some 8Gb RAM modules such as these : http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S32S/ and tried plopping two of them in to see if they're recognized as 8Gb modules and used or not? I also have a brand-new 15" MBP (2011 model) that seems to occasionally suffer from the same fate -- it's also got 4GB of RAM and last night for quite a while it was at the 90% utilization level for RAM as well while importing some videos in iMovie '11..
I'll have to admit that I'm wondering whether 8Gb is going to be enough RAM for my purposes on the mini.. I suspect I'm probably asking it to do too much -- all of this used to be done on an older model HP Proliant server (quad CPU, hot-swap drives, redundant power supplies,etc) -- but it cost about $40+ per month in power alone..
Anyone?

Thx.. I've actually upgraded to a new 2011 Mac Mini which can still take those same 8Gb ram sticks.. Interestingly enough the new Mac Mini server still comes with a measly 4gb of RAM which just doesn't cut it with OSX Lion -- I'm constantly at 1% free RAM when I've got Mail.app running.. Ugg.. Hopefully once I put 12Gb or 16Gb in, it'll hum along..

Adding two 2-D Arrays to then save

I am trying to build two 2-D arrays to then save as a spreadsheet file. This process happens in while loop and I need to enable indexing when I feed the wire out. When I do this I use the build array fucntion but then it creates a 3-D array which I cannot save.

Ok. I've made an example that processes the whole file(s). Run the process file.vi, input a file pattern and select a directory of test files. Now you can click the process files button and it will produce files containing the results you wanted.
In the example I have not included the option of selecting just a segment of the files. The files are named after their origin file, the name is not put into the file itself...and finally I assume that the files always contain complete sets (you can initialize an array to hold the results instead of reusing the incoming array to avoid this dependancy...).
As you will see generating the result is quite simple, it's all done in the calculate VI. If you want to average across fil
es as well (not just data within one and the same file) it will need modifications though...If you want to be able to select a sub-section of the file the easiest way to do it is to do it prior to feeding the array to the calculate VI...the most effective though would be to modify the logic of the calculation VI slightly so that it can work on a selection directly.
If you sometimes need to be able to calculate the average and deviation of more values than the pairs, that's possible as well, but would require a modification of the calculation vi...

Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive?

Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive that for example can model buildings and tunnels? I am trying to add the polyhedron primitive next to the existing point, line, polygon model. I just want to hear some tips or ideas...

The plan is to make a new GType and new stored functions that recognize this GType.
A polyhedron could be of type 3008,3D and 8=polyhedron(=new). The elem_info
and ordinates contain multiple planes. Self-created stored functions would be
able to recognize this GType, e.g. area3D should give the sum of the areas of all the
faces of the polyhedron and should also work on Gtype=3003 and give the real area
of a 3D polygon instead of the projection.I wouldn't suggest this methodology if you are considering using any spatial indexing or
functions with your data.
There is a mechanism Oracle Spatial has for defining custom datatypes. It should only
be used with custom apps, i.e. it won't be usable in the context of applications that know
about Oracle Spatial data types.
The mechanism allows you to define you own element using an element type of 0, and using
the interpretation to define what you are looking at. You would also include an a supported
element type that approximates your geometry, and that element is the one that is indexed,
and the gtype entered is associated with that geometry. Your private functions could access
the 3d geometry when required. For instance, you want to have a 3d cube. It might look like this:
sdo_gtype=3002
sdo_elem_info=(1,2,1, 7,0,1, 22,0,2 etc.
sdo_ordinates=(0,0,0,2,2,2, 0,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,0,0, 2,0,0,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,2,0,0, etc
the 1,2,1 in the elem info array corresponds to a 3d line string that when indexed with a minimum bounding
volume encloses the 3d cube. The 0,0,0 and 2,2,2 in the ordinate array stored as the line string when indexed
include the bounds of the cube. Next in the elem info array are 7,0,1. The 7 means offst 7 in the ordinate array
and in this example is fixed. Next the 0 tells Oracle Spatial to ignore this element. The interpretation of 1 you define,
the number could be anything. Since it is my example, I'll say the 1 means this is the definition of the first face in the
x,y plane (i.e. the front face of the cube which faces me). I've set the ordinate array with the coordinates of that face.
Next in elem info comes 22,0,2 which is starting at offset 22 there is another element that Oracle spatial should ignore
(element type 0), and next comes 2, which might mean this is the second face definition, that I've defined as the right
hand side y,z plane.
etc.
The meaning of the interpretation value is only limited by your imagination.
Note while you can index three dimensions if you want, the only spatial functionality that supports 3d is a spatial
index and a filter query, and some lrs functions. You will not be able to run any operator except for SDO_FILTER if you
have a 3d index, and all spatial functions will only work on 2d.
Do not define your own gtype and expect to use spatial. it will not work.

Anyone tried the next-day-retail-pickup option for an iPhone 5?

Has anyone here tried the next-day-retail-pickup option for an iPhone 5?
Has anyone tried it - but still not gotten one?
Right now I have my iPhone 5 ordered online through Apple.   It's not expected for a few more weeks, alas.
Two days after I placed that order , Apple announced that you could order online after 10pm for next day pickup at a retail store.
I called Apple to ask if I could simply "convert" my existing order to a next day pickup.
I was told that I'd have to (1) cancel the online order (2) maybe wait a day for my upgrade-pricing eligibility to reset and THEN (3) place the order online after 10pm.
BUT - she also added that even the next-day-pickup orders were subject to stores' inventory.
So, I called my local store to ask about availability.   Rather than telling me anything about their current inventory, the gal there just repeated that I should order online after 10pm.
Of course, the entire point of my doing this would be to reduce my wait time (not roll the dice on MAYBE reducing my wait time.)
Yet apparently my only option is to "step out of line" with my existing online order before I can even see how long the line is for in-store pickup.
If it turns out I'll have to keep trying again every night after 10pm in the HOPE that maybe this time there'll be an iPhone 5 available for the next day, then I go from my current 2-3 week wait to a god-only-knows-how-long wait, with nightly online order attempts.
There's no way for me to adequately express my distaste for this catch-22 without using verboten language.
If anyone has an idea how I can TRY the next-day-pickup trick WITHOUT first squandering the 2 weeks I've already been in the online queue - please let me know.

i have the same dilema brian. Does anybody know how many reservations there are a day?
What are the odds of getting a space?
I might as well enter the x factor phone in and hope i win!!! f'ing joke.
I'm going to phone local store and ask how many iphones are sold each day.
Meanwhile wait 4 weeks for online order. Ha!

Anyone tried the new Weblogic Scripting Tool (WLST)?

Has anyone tried using the new WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) that was recently
posted on the dev2dev WebLogic Utilities site: http://dev2dev.bea.com/resourcelibrary/utilitiestools/adminmgmt.jsp
It looks to be a handy tool that is built upon jython and enables you to easily
navigate, inspect and manipulate the WebLogic MBean tree on a running server.
It also has a nice scripting tool which allows you to convert a config.xml file
into a script that can be run to recreate a domain or specific resources within
the domain. This is exactly something I have been looking for because we occasionally
recreate domains or subsets of a domain for testing and POC purposes.
The utility is fairly well documented and works well for the most part. The only
issue I have run into so far is that is does not seem to understand JMS Distributed
Destinations. When I try to convert a config.xml that contains a DD to a script
it throws a null pointer exception. I have not tried a cluster yet.
I noticed the utility was authored by someone at BEA. Is there potential that
BEA will support this in the future if it catches on? Has anyone had experience
with WLST or jython that would cause you to reccomend (or not) using it?
Thanks.

Darryl,
Thanks for the valuable feedback. My comments are inline.

As a fairly long time wlshell user who recently started testing wlst there are
few features I have found lacking in wlst.
1. For monitoring purposes I am frequently using the -g and -r options to wlshell's
get command for graphing and repeating respectivelyI haven't looked at -g and -r options in wlshell, but will do so.
Although there is no graphical monitoring of attributes in wlst, but
there is certainly some monitoring capability (which will be enhanced
further in the coming version). Please take a look at the
monitorAttribute() function.
wls:/(offline)> help('monitorAttribute')
Description:
Monitors the specified attribute every by polling every interval.
Syntax:
monitorAttribute(attributeName, interval, monitorFile)
attributeName = Name of the attribue that you would like to monitor.
interval = Time (in seconds) to wait before the next fetch
monitorFile=[optional] File path where the monitored data will be
written to.
Example:
wls:/mydomain/runtime/ServerRuntimes/myserver/ExecuteQueueRuntimes/weblogic.kernel.Default>
monitorAttribute("ServicedRequestTotalCount",10)
Press Return to quit monitoring
Monitoring started for attribute ServicedRequestTotalCount
wls:/(offline)>

2. wlshell 2.0 adds the option when connecting to the admin server to also connect
to all managed servers in that domain. This is a nice feature for monitoring because
you then have access to all the runtime mbeans in each managed serverYes, this indeed seems to be a very nice feature. We will consider this
for our next release.
>
3. There is not a good way to pass cmd line options(variables) to wlst. In wlshell
I can send cmd line options via -v. I have tried something similar with wlst using
-loadProperties but this is a little laborious because I do not necessarily want
to create a properties file when a passing in only one or two variables. Also
I find loadProperties lacking somewhat (see 4 below)ok, I just realised that there is indeed a bug in wlst where the command
line arguments are not being honored. In Jython one can access the
command line arguments from the sys.argv variable. For example,
java weblogic.WLST -i foo.py var1 var2 var3
Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) ...
Welcome to Weblogic Server Administration Scripting Shell
Type help() for help on available commands
wls:/offline> print sys.argv
['foo.py', 'var1', 'var2', 'var3']
wls:/offline>
But this isn't working properly, please keep using the loadProperties
untill this has been fixed.
>
4) loadProperties treats all created variables as strings. While this is understandable
from the perspective that getProperty returns a string, it would be nice if wlst
was smart enough that when a property is numbers only its an int, otherwise a
string etc.
wlshell does this logic/conversion for you which really simplifies calling methods
that expect the particular datatype. To get around this problem you can create a script file say,
variables.py which would look like,
# variables that will be used
theInterpreter.set('var1',10)
theInterpreter.set('var2','i am a string')
java weblogic.WLST variables.py
Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) ...
Welcome to Weblogic Server Administration Scripting Shell
Type help() for help on available commands
wls:/(offline)> print var1
10
wls:/(offline)> print var2
'i am a string'
>
5. I'd like to be able to send cmd output etc to a file while running within wlst.
In wlshell its a simple as adding >> filename to the end of the command. In wlst it is not as simple as doing >>, it is more than that. You can
choose any output stream to direct your output to. In your case you can
create a FileOutputStream and route the output to this stream for any
particular command.
Example,
# create a file output stream say fos
from java.io import FileOutputStream
fos = FileOutputStream("output.txt")
# save the default output stream to a variable to
# switch it back
sys.stdout=fos
# Now all output for any function will go to output.txt
ls()
cd('foo')
# after done with your functions switch it back
sys.stdout=origOutput
This is the right Jython way to do it. This works for all output streams
, very useful when you embed an interpreter in a servlet and would like
to display the output via a PrintStream etc.

All in all wlst is a nice tool. Personally if the above features were added it
would be much easier to transistion to wlst for good.
Also I really like the wlst offline tool. Its nice to be able to do the whole
create and configure domain process with one tool. Will this be supported. Yes indeed. We are working on merging both the tools into one.
I do
not want to rely on it too much if it will not work in future weblogic versions.It will be supported in future release of weblogic.

Has anyone tried using the new WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) that was
recently
posted on the dev2dev WebLogic Utilities site: http://dev2dev.bea.com/resourcelibrary/utilitiestools/adminmgmt.jsp
It looks to be a handy tool that is built upon jython and enables you
to easily
navigate, inspect and manipulate the WebLogic MBean tree on a running
server.
It also has a nice scripting tool which allows you to convert a config.xml
file
into a script that can be run to recreate a domain or specific resources
within
the domain. This is exactly something I have been looking for because
we occasionally
recreate domains or subsets of a domain for testing and POC purposes.
The utility is fairly well documented and works well for the most part.
The only
issue I have run into so far is that is does not seem to understandJMS
Distributed
Destinations. When I try to convert a config.xml that contains a DDto
a script
it throws a null pointer exception. I have not tried a cluster yet.
I noticed the utility was authored by someone at BEA. Is there potential
that
BEA will support this in the future if it catches on? Has anyone had
experience
with WLST or jython that would cause you to reccomend (or not) using
it?
Thanks.

Sort two one dimensional arrays

I am having trouble sorting two one dimensional arrays. The first array is int type with ID numbers. I use a bubble sort to sort those. The other array is a string array of video titles. When the first int type array of ID numbers sort, I want the second string type array to follow it. I have tried many things and I can not get it to work properly. Here is what I have for now without the string sort. Can someone help me?
public class Video
     public static void main(String[] args)
     int[] numID = {168, 397, 102, 39, 239};
     String[] videoTitle = {"Godzilla", "Superman", "Hannibal", "Star Wars", "Men In Black"};
     System.out.println("Here are your selections:");
     System.out.println();
System.out.print(numID[0]);
     System.out.println("\t" +videoTitle[0]);
     System.out.print(numID[1]);
     System.out.println("\t" +videoTitle[1]);
     System.out.print(numID[2]);
     System.out.println("\t" +videoTitle[2]);
     System.out.print(numID[3]);
     System.out.println("\t" +videoTitle[3]);
     System.out.print(numID[4]);
     System.out.println("\t" +videoTitle[4]);
     System.out.println();
System.out.println();
//Sorting ID numbers in ascending order
     int a;
     int b;
     int temp;
for (a = 0; a < (numID.length - 1); ++a)
     for(b = 0; b < (numID.length - 1); ++b)
          if(numID[b] > numID[b + 1])
                         temp = numID;
                         numID[b] = numID[b + 1];
                         numID[b + 1] = temp;
          System.out.println("Here are your selections in ascending order:");
          System.out.println();
     System.out.print(numID[0]);
          System.out.println("\t" +videoTitle[0]);
          System.out.print(numID[1]);
          System.out.println("\t" +videoTitle[1]);
          System.out.print(numID[2]);
          System.out.println("\t" +videoTitle[2]);
          System.out.print(numID[3]);
          System.out.println("\t" +videoTitle[3]);
          System.out.print(numID[4]);
          System.out.println("\t" +videoTitle[4]);
          System.out.println();
     System.out.println();

There are ways to do that, of which the simplest would be to switch entries in both arrays at the same time. But since Java is an object-oriented language, the better way to do it would be to make a Video object containing a number and a title, put those objects in an array, and sort the objects.

Anyone tried striping two G-SATA arrays on PCI-express G5?
