Basic (hopefully) EDI question

I'm very new to XI/PI and am trying to figure out XI's EDI capabilities. We're a small company and trying to decide if XI is the way to go (it's not installed at the moment).
We're trying to do 810 and 850 EDI transactions and there's no strong requirement on how that has to happen.
One consultant recommended I get a license for "EDI Engine for Consumer Products, the 'SAP XI Adapter for EDI'" Which he seemed to think SAP sold.
Another consultant said SAP XI Server didn't come with (or sell) an adapter and said I had to get a 3rd party tool like the SeeBerger EDI adapter or use something separate like Gentran..
Can someone untangle this for me? Is there an EDI adapter that comes with XI Server that would work?
Thanks,
Lee

Basic wifi service question

basic wifi service question
A Windows-using friend of mine subscribes to a service from Verizon that is sort of like a cell phone for a computer - wifi service that you can access from theoretically anywhere, for something like $60 a month -
as far as I can determine, one CAN get this for Mac but ONLY if you have a 15 or 17 inch laptop with PC slots - unless I am missing something. It requires a special kyocera card.
Another company, T-Mobile, offers a similar service, but with no MAC access at all.
So my question is: is there a similar service, wi-fi access theoretically anywhere (or even just anywhere in New York City) ? Hopefully with just the regular mac airport card and not any additional special hardware?
Thanks!
Will

Hello WillFriedwald2
The kind of service your describing is probably a 3G and GPRS service.
Phone companies now offer mobile high speed connections using EDGE technology or GPRS2 and supply a 3G or GPRS PCMCIA card.
However some companies are now offering a package whereby you get high speed 3g and gprs and also wifi.
So to use this service on a laptop that has no PC card slot you need to get a 3G or GPRS2 phone that supports blue tooth then you can connect your laptop to the phone over bluetooth and therefore access high speed internet.
But if you had a desktop mac such as a G5 you would be better just getting a regular cable or dsl connection in your home and invest in a wireless router.

Hopefully easy question...

I am new to TestStand and have a couple of (hopefully) easy questions. I am using TestStand 3.5.
1) I have written a couple of sub-sequences in another file that we use for common tasks. Some of the parameters we pass will always be the same variable name. Is there a way I can get that default parameter name to show up when I write the program to call this sub-sequence so I wont have to enter it each time?
2) When I run a program that calls a sub-sequence in the above file, the first time I run it, I get an error saying the resource already exists... If I open the sub-sequence file in TestStand, and then close it, it is fine after that.
Thanks for your help!

With TestStand the answer is usually 'yes' it is just a matter of which way is best for you.
1)
TestStand has a full application interface so that you can pragmatically read parameter names and types, and populate calling programs with the right stuff. This takes some learning. There may be an easier way depending on what you are doing.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you write a program to call the subsequence. In TestStand 4.0 ( don't have 3.5 installed) you can create a Sequence Call template step that can be used in new sequences that you program. That is, I can open a new sequence, drop a generic Sequence Call step and rename it, configure it to call your subsequence by choosing the right path, sequence file, values/expressions to be passed to the subsequence, and then I can save this step as a template (drag to the Step section of the template window). Then, when I have a brand new sequence, I can drop an instance of this template step into my sequence, with the parameter values preconfigured. Assuming all the expressions are valid, you're ready to go.
2)
Without more information I can't help with this one. Perhaps the sequence file that contains the called subsequence is not in one of your search directories (see Configure>>Search Directories) and therefore it can't be found until you open, identify and save the calling sequence file. What error code are you getting?

Basic recording/feedback question

I'm recording basic vocals against accompaniment tracks using an APOGEE ONE and Audio-Technica 40 series AT8449 condenser mic. I use only headphones, no external speakers.
If I record with "monitoring" on I constantly battle feedback/distortion, especially on songs with a wide dynamic range. When the feedback protection kicks in the message indicates that I'm getting feedback through my external speakers (which I don't have), I can minimize the problem by turning "monitoring" off but I lose the reference vocal. I know I must be overlooking something very simple. Any help is appreciated.

Basic PDF/SSL Question

Okay, I know this is a basic question, and I'm not sure if this is really where I should be posting it, but maybe someone out there has experience with this.
I have a PDF form sitting on a secure server. I have it set up to email the completed PDF back to our company when the user clicks the SUBMIT buttton. Whether or not the PDF is secure coming back to us would be dependent on the email server the user uses - not that the form sits in a secure area on our server or that the PDF is security settings are set, correct?
Any input appreciated.
Thanks

Basic JDBC transactional question

Hello all,
I have (what I believe) is a basic transactional JDBC question.
Here's what I want to do:
begin transaction
select a row from a table where (some condition).
that row may or may not exist.
if the row exists: update the row
else if the row does not exist, insert a new row
end transaction
I want this entire thing to be atomic .. I don't want the select to complete, then have something else come in there before the update/insert takes place.
I'm using MySQL .. I seem to remember hearing about some proprietary MySQL command which would do a SELECT + UPDATE atomically .. which would be fine, but I can't find it.
Wrapping this with a row-level lock would be fine too .. I'm just not sure how to do that in JDBC.
Thanks!
-d

By thte way, and not that it helps the orignal poster, who's using MySQL, but Oracle has a proprietary MERGE statement that does "insert or update" in one go. For example:
MERGE INTO bonuses D
   USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
   WHERE department_id = 80) S
   ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
   WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
     DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
   WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
     VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*0.1)
     WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);

Basic colour management questions

Hi,
I am a biology PhD student and I am reasonably proficient in using computers for everything except when it comes to colour management. I frequently encounter people at Uni who struggle when working on posters etc. because the colours do not print the way they looked on their monitors. I try to explain that most computer monitors are not calibrated correctly.
Anyway, I have my monitor calibrated, the area where I run into trouble is when assigning colour profiles. For example, I need to scan some photos using a flat bed scanner, and I don't know which colour profile to assign it. Should I assign it the calibrated profile that I created or will this only work on my computer. I need to be able to share these images and know that they will look the same on other computers.
I also don't understand what is meant by converting to a working space. I have an Apple PDF about Tiger colour management but it is a bit too technical for me.
Basically I was hoping someone could explain the basics to me or point me towards a good article.
One last question, the scanner I use is a very old UMAX Astra 2100U scanner that does not work in OS X. I have to boot up in Windows and scan there then go back to OS X. Am I likely to run into problems taking the picture between the two OSes?
Thank-you in advance,
Ben

Ben_ wrote:
What is the point of using profiles other than these two. For example, I know most digital cameras embed their own profile. Is there an advantage to using this over say Adobe RGB or should I always convert these images to Adobe RGB or sRGB?
Scanner & camera profiles have two main purposes AFAICT: in colour-managed environments where the original file is sent to a printer or displayed on a monitor, the profile will enable the output to be adjusted for the idiosyncracies of the imaging device; and when opening a file for editing, the device profile will (in theory at least) allow a more accurate conversion to the program’s working space.
If I was editing an image that I planned to print, why would I use Adobe RGB rather than convert the image to CMYK mode? Or is the colour mode (CMYK vs RGB) separate from the colorsync profile?
Yes, there are various CMYK profiles as well: some are for particular printers, while others (like SWOP, Standard Web Offset Printing) attempt to encapsulate typical commercial printing environments. I work in prepress, where CMYK is always the eventual destination—but a printer that uses six or more colours of ink can often represent a larger portion of the RGB gamut than a four-colour press can, for example producing more vivid blues than would be possible in CMYK.
Another issue is that CMYK images that have been optimized for prepress often look somewhat dull or ‘washed out’ on a monitor, especially one that has a high colour temperature (as is typical outside a prepress environment). If the image been tagged with an appropriate CMYK profile, the display may be able to compensate to some extent, but conversion from RGB to CMYK very frequently results in some ‘shoehorning’ of a wide range of colours into a narrower one.

Basic XML Publisher Question: How to access tags in the higher levels?

Hi All,
We have a basic question in XML Publisher.
We have a xml hierarchy like below:
<CD_CATALOG>
<CATALOG>
<CAT_NAME> CATALOG 1</CAT_NAME>
<CD>
<TITLE>TITLE1 </TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST1 </ARTIST>
</CD>
<CD>
<TITLE> TITLE2</TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST2 </ARTIST>
</CD>
</CATALOG>
<CATALOG>
<CAT_NAME> CATALOG 2</CAT_NAME>
<CD>
<TITLE>TITLE3 </TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST3 </ARTIST>
</CD>
<CD>
<TITLE> TITLE4</TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST4 </ARTIST>
</CD>
</CATALOG>
</CD_CATALOG>
We need to create a report like below:
CATALOG_NAME     CD_TITLE     CD_ARTISTCATALOG 1     TITLE1     ARTIST1
CATALOG 1     TITLE2     ARTIST2
CATALOG 2     TITLE3     ARTIST3
CATALOG 2     TITLE4     ARTIST4
So we have to loop at the level of <CD> using for-each CD. But when we are inside this loop, we cannot access the value of CAT_NAME which is at a higher level.
How can we solve this?
Right now, we are using the work-around of set_variable and get_Variable. We are setting the value of CAT_NAME inside an outer loop, and using it inside the inner loop using get_variable.
Is this the proper way to do this or are there better ways to do this? We are running into troubles when the data is inside tables.

you can use
<?../CAT_NAME?>copy past to your template
<?for-each:CD?> <?../CAT_NAME?> <?TITLE?> <?ARTIST?> <?end for-each?>

Basic CSS Functionality Questions

Hi,
I have a CSS 11501 loaner on the way from Cisco, but was hoping to ask a few questions ahead of time. I am relatively new to this, so bear with me.
I have three offices connected via a VPN between two pix devices. Local users and anonymous web traffic all funnels through the remote office. I am hoping I can incorporate a CSS box to direct traffic (via a VPN to another pix) to a third office in the event the www server at the main office is not reachable, but return to the first office when it is back online.
I am a little confused by VIP. Right now, my domain name resolves to an IP address on the outside of my pix which NATs and sends the request on to my web server. If the CSS is behind it, do I create a VIP that maps to the actual IP of the www server, and have the pix send traffic to the VIP?
I have read the PDFs found online, but am still a little foggy.
Thanks,
JM

the Pix will have to send the traffic to the VIP.
The VIP should be an address existing only on the CSS and that the rest of your network knows how to reach.
The CSS will then nat to the real server ip.
Gilles.

Basic VT / Video Question

I am upgrading my CM to v4.2 this month and looking to do a limited implemenation of some video. I have read the basics on VT Advantage solution and had some questions I can't seem to find the answers to:
1. Besides the obvious desktop software and hardware (camera) installation, what additonal configuration changes do I need to make to CM/Unity/gateways to get video working in the environment?
2. What kind of additional load is now placed on the network with video and what will this do to my current bandwidth configurations?

Michael,
First off you should check out the IP Video Telephony SRND if you are thinking about deploying video. Here is the link. (It's a 4.1 reference but should be 99% the same for 4.2).
http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/netsol/ns268/c649/ccmigration_09186a00804ff6ba.pdf
Somewhat brief answers to your questions.
1. QoS for video on all network devices. The above guide discusses this but the Enterprise QoS SRND is the best reference. Switched only VT advantage isn't that hard. If you have WAN links then the LLQs should be configured independantly for video and voice(still only one llq though but this will ease admin and give the ability to police the video). Call Manager locations can be created to help enforce Call Admission Control of video calls. Provisioning the bandwidth is going to be one of the harder things to configure.
ACLs will need to be adjusted for PC/Cam to Phone communication. The phone proxies the connection for the Camera and determines the camera via CDP (local on the phone switch) and then sets up a TCP connection traversing L2 vlans to L3 router and back. So if you have Phone acls they need to be adjusted. Again this is referenced in the above document.
Regions for video types. You have a few options on video quality. This response will also answer 2. You can choose Cisco wideband, 7mps each direction for the highest quality and low amount of system overhead on the pc cpu. Of course this takes up a total 14mb for video. Should only be used on local lan. Then you have increments of h263. They range from 128 up to 1536. The higher the bandwidth the better the quality and more cpu on the local pc. You will need to use regions to set the desired video codecs and locations to enforce the bandwidth the codecs require.
Lastly multipoint conferencing and other video endpoint integration. If you want conference with video you need to add MCUs. Currently (not sure on 4.2) CCM has a limitation on determining Video conference resources in an intelligent fashion. Essentially you need to have any video MCUs at the top of your MRGLs in CCM. This leaves the potential for Audio only conferences happening on very expensive video conference bridges. This calls for Device Pool and MRGL design changes for people who really only need multi-point video conferences.
Read that SRND, great resource.
Please rate any helpful posts
Thanks

A few basic iPhoto 11 questions

I just updated my iMac from Tiger (I know...) to Mavericks and it's great, but there's a few things in iPhoto that are way different from my old version- wondering if I can re-apply these.
1) I used to be able to label photos by hovering over the photo and a dialogue box would appear, then once I titled it the title would stay under the photo. I can title photos now by going to info and titling it but when I'm in album view I can't see the titles whereas I used to. I looked in preferences and everything but can't change it, is there a way to do this?
2) This one is basic and stupid- in my old version just 1 click would enlarge the photo from album view vs highlighting it and needing to double click to enlarge. Any way to revert this back to the old way?
I know these are really stupid questions but it's just conveniences I got used to that would be nice to have back.

1. View Menu -> Select 'Titles'
2. Tap the Space Bar.

Basic file moving question

i must be numb. embarassed to say that i need a little help in understanding the easiest way to move songs into (1) a static play list, and (2) over to the ipod.
Here is the set up - I have about 10K songs in itunes and I need to go through the entire list and pick about 1000 songs to put into a static play list. I am using a wireless keyboard/mouse combo, (like a trackball) so my drag/drop capabilites using the cntrl button are pretty clumsy. very difficult to use highlighting 1000 songs. I was hoping that I could use the check boxes as a way to identify songs that I wanted to put into the statis playlist (folder) and then somehow click a button (or a similar) to say that I want to move all the checked files into my playlist. is that possible? any other options?
*one footnote here, i understand how to set up smart playlists, but the group of songs I want to aggregate has no common thread (or primary key). So i have to set up a static play list and manually choose the songs.
somehwat similar, i have a question on how to move a select group of songs (lets say 4000) over to the ipod (vs just a playlist in itunes as discussed above). i am hoping that i might be able to leverage the check box as well.
thank you for your help in advance.

Select the iPod in iTunes.
Select *Sync Music*.
Pick Selected playlist in the drop down and pick the playlist(s) you want to put onto the iPod.
Add or delete from the selected playlist(s) to put on or remove from the iPod.
