Basic questions on using Maps offline

Hi ... I'm getting a new phone, probably the 7230. It is not on the list of supported phones for Maps. However, the specs say it has Maps installed. So I have a couple of questions.
First ... is it possible to run a map application on the 7230? 6350? 2730? (Note: 7230 is S60, 6350 is S40)
Can you download maps using your PC, transfer them, and then access them from your phone without your phone going 'online' with an internet connection?
6350 Are the maps 'zoomable' on the phone?
Is there a cost for any of this?
(My main use for maps would be simply around my own city, getting to places I'm not familiar with with. If the answers to all of the above are YES, then that would work perfectly)
One other question ... the GPS in the phone ...
Will that work with Maps? ie, will it show your location?
If so, does it incur a usage charge?
I have to say, the Maps thing is all very confusing. I understand that Maps with Navigation is a pay service, but outside of that, it's very unclear. Phones have specs saying they do maps, but don't show up in the compatibility list, for example. I hope someone can bring some clarity to this, not just for me, but for others. I see many questions on the same topic.
Thanks

Hi rcashin.
U can check whether the phone have free satnav at: SatNav
Yes, it can be completely free, this thread might help: FREESatNav
And yes, u can zoom and it is LIVE data.
But remember Nokia recomends using the online/network/fee-paying options since it is faster and more accurate....
R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Whoever you are and whereever you are, just ask and I will try my best to help...
If u find my replies useful, pls click on WHITE STAR in GREEN Rectangle on the left to replace the '0' with a '1'

Questions on Using MAPS 1.0 on E90.

A couple of questions on Maps.
I started fiddling with Navigation. If I back out and come back, is there a way to resume where I left off with regard to route planning without having to select the from/to locations and re-do the entire thing? I guess, can I save a route?
Can I 'speed up' the simulation? (drive faster by, say, forcing the driving speed to a higher speed)
Can I 'start a simulation' from a point along the route? Particularly so if I am interrupted during a simulation.
On my E90, I find Maps to be rather unreliable. Maps 1.0 Crashes - how can I try the new 2.0 Beta?
Is there a 'supported/official' way of downloading Maps and putting them on my E90 given that the Map Loader application does not work? Well, it didn't work last time I tried it, does it work for anyone else? Sheesh, I have been using Maps via my Wireless Home network - it sure does soak down the data - it would drive me broke if I was paying the data costs here in Oz!
...Lyall

I am pretty sure I tried all the stuff you mentioned, except I don't think that I had achieved a GPS fix prior to using the Map Loader.
The manual said nothing about requiring a GPS fix first, it only says to have run MAPS and to connect in Data Transfer mode (yes, I have read the manual and just about all the info there is on MAPS and Map Loader).
I am a long time user of Symbian (since a Psion Revo, and a Psion Siena before that) and each time I buy a symbian device after the Revo, I go through a period of disappointment, then frustration before settling down to acceptance. Apps crash, functionality is crippled by people who have no idea about user friendly interfaces (Revo Agenda was awesome compared to the garbage Calendar used nowadays on Symbian) and applications/System are flakey. I think I might even call this the Symbian Syndrome.

Basic question: Can OID map LDAP query to custom SQL query?

Hi all,
I have custom data in my Oracle Database and I wat to give them
LDAP interface. Is it possible to use OID to achieve this or OID
is for other purposes?
To be more specific: I have schema MYSCHEMA and table
MYSCHEMA.MYTABLE. Is it possible to configure OID to select from MYSCHEMA.MYTABLE for specific LDAP queries? And the same for update queries? Is there some OID manager console to map LDAP queries against Oracle tables and views?
Thanx for any suggestions,
Rob

Rob,
take a look at the Directory Integration Platform. We provide synchronization of data from an DB tables to OID.
see "Synchronization with Relational Database Tables" http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_14/idmanage.1012/b14085/odip_db.htm#i1042820
another option could be to use the OID Plugin framework together with a PLSQL procedure to access the DB data

Basic questions about macbook pro + external monitor

Hi,
I have some very basic questions about using a Macbook Pro + external display. I don't actually have them but need to know how things works.
So, here they are:
1) Can I use the external display as the main display?
2) Will the external display run with its resolution or with that of the mbook pro?
3) Somewhere I read that you cannot keep the macbook pro open and get the full resolution of the external display. Is that true ?
4) Is it dangerous to keep the mbook closed while using the external display?
5) Does the usage of the external display impact on mbook performance?
I know...a lot of questions , but would be nice if someone could help me.
Thanks.

Hi - I am presently using an external display.
To answer your questions in sequence:
1. Yes you can use the external display as your main display. The way to enable that mode is to put your MacBook Pro to sleep, attach the external display. Wake up your MBPro with the lid closed and you will see the external display as you main display. You can alternatively set the external to "Mirror" your notebook by using preferences/display.
2. The external display will run at its resolution although you can adjust and calibrate it using Preferences/Display.
3. Not true. You get max resolution on both displays. Of course you may have to tweak as mentioned above.
4. Not at all. I use this mode all the time. Just make sure you initially set up as mentioned above and your LCD on the MBPro will stay off.
5. I have not seen any performance degradation whatsoever.
Hope this helps.

Basic Question on Copy and Delta link which one to use when?

Hi
Its basic question
My understanding about copy and Delta link is
Copy doesnot ahve direct relationship with source object (but it acts as a sibling) any changes done to spurce object does not affect target object.
Where as Delta link will have a parent child relation ship between source object bacially its a copy of source and inherits id properties. in case if i change source object does this affect target object, we can delete, add content to delta link target object.
let's say if i want to use standard quickpoll iView do i need to use copy or delta link similarly for other iviews, worksets, roles which one will be better.
Regards,
Murali

Murali,
Yes, your understanding is right.
Case 1 : Copy
A- Object
B- Copy of A
Both of them are independent.Any changes in A are not dependent on B and vice versa.
Case 2 : Delta Link
A - Object
B - Copy of A (via Delta link)
Any changes to A are reflected in B, as A is a parent and B a child.
But B would be an independent entity.Any changes to B would not effect A.
When you use either of them, depends on your need. When you are working with standard iviews or roles or workset, you can do a copy of the original, because in most cases we would not make changes to the standard roles or worksets or iviews. There by eliminating the process of making a delta copy.
But, if you are dealing with the roles that you have created and want to make a copy of it, you can use a delta link, because, even if you want to add more iviews and worksets to that role, they would get reflected when you make a delta copy.
Hope that helps.

VERY Basic Questions about Oracle eBusiness - what "languages" are used?

Please forgive the very basic nature of this post- (I have been in systems (IT) for over 20 years, so I do have lots of systems experience, but no exposure to this particular software.)
So here are the basic questions - I assume that much of the data base logic is written in PL/SQL, but what other tools / languages are the applications written in?
(Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, Java, C, something else?)
With over 20 years and experience with a number of other packages, I can learn a great deal about an application by 1. Looking at the DB structures (charts), 2. looking into DB code (Packages, triggers, procedure, functions) and 3. Seeing the screen shots.
None of my customers have had Oracle eBusiness - that have had home grown applications or other COTS/packages.
can anyone suggest a place where an independent person can inexpensively get some exposure?
My sincere thanks for any answers/suggestions.

Basic questions on data modeling

Hi experts,
I have some basic questions regarding data modeling within MDM. I understand the available table types and the concept of lookup fields. I know that the MDM data modeling concept is different to the relational concept. But having a strong database background my first step was to design a relational data model which I would like to transfer to a MDM repository. Unfortunately I didn't found good information material on this. So here are some questions maybe you can help me:
1) Is it the right approach to model n:m relationships with multivalued lookup fields? E.g. main table Users with lookup field from subtable SapAccounts (a user can have accounts in different SAP systems, that means more than one account).
2) Has a record always be unique in MDM repositories (e.g. should we use Auto ID's in every table or do we have to mark a combination of fields as unique)? Is a composite key of 2 or more fields represented with marking these fields as unique?
3) The concept of relationships in MDM is only based on relationships between single records (not valid for all records in a table)? Is it necessary to define all relationships similar to the relational data model in MDM? Is there something similar to referential integrity in MDM?
4) Is it possible to change the main table to a sub table later on if we realize that it has also to be used as a lookup table for another table (when extending the data model) or do we have to create a new repository from scratch?
Thank you for your answers.
Regards, bd

Yes you are correct. It is almost difficult to map relational database to mdm one. But again MDM is not 'just' a database. It holds much more 'master' information as compared to any relational db.
1) Is it the right approach to model n:m relationships with multivalued lookup fields? E.g. main table Users with lookup field from subtable SapAccounts (a user can have accounts in different SAP systems, that means more than one account).
Yes Here you need to use MV look up tables or can also try Qualifier tables if it gets more complex
2) Has a record always be unique in MDM repositories (e.g. should we use Auto ID's in every table or do we have to mark a combination of fields as unique)? Is a composite key of 2 or more fields represented with marking these fields as unique?
Concept of uniqueness differs here that you also have something called Display Fields (DF). A combination of DF can also be treated as Unique one. For instance while importing records if you select these DF as a combination, you will eliminate any possible of duplicates based on this combination. Auto Id is one of the ways to have a unique id once record is within MDM. While you use UF or DF to eliminate any possible duplicates at import level
3) The concept of relationships in MDM is only based on relationships between single records (not valid for all records in a table)? Is it necessary to define all relationships similar to the relational data model in MDM? Is there something similar to referential integrity in MDM?
Hmm... good one. Referencial Integrity. What I assume you are talking is that if you have relationships between tables then removing a record will not be possible as it is a foreign key for some record. Here MDM does not allow that. As Relationships within MDM are physical and not conceptual. For instance material can have components. Now if material does not exist then any relationship to components is not worthwile to maintain. Hence relationshsip is eliminated. While in relational model relationships are more conceptual. Hence with MDM usage of lookups and main table you do not need to maintain these kind of relationships on your own.
4) Is it possible to change the main table to a sub table later on if we realize that it has also to be used as a lookup table for another table (when extending the data model) or do we have to create a new repository from scratch?
No. It is not possible to convert main table. There is only one main table and it cannot be changed.
I went for the same option but it did not work. What I suggest is to look up your legacy system one by one and see what fields in general can be classified as Master, Reference, Transactional - You will start getting answers immediately.

BASIC QUESTIONS - VERY URGENT

I have some basic questions regarding Oracle XMLDB's features.
Is there a special JOIN clause that can be used in Oracle XMLDB?
Can we create partitions in a set of records that are all based on the same DTD? How do we query records from a particular partition?
Is it possible to query records with synonyms of words present in the documents (some sort of a dictionary feature)?
Is it possible to query records based on the hierarchical directory structure using which the documents have been stored? i.e. can we query all documents that are stored in a specific path (including/excluding subdirectories)?
Can we select a particular field within the XML document to be the primary key? Can the documents be indexed based on this field?
What is the general performance of XMLDB like? For a database of the order of say 50-100 million XML records, would the performance be better with oracle XMLDB or with oracle RDBMS + some XML-RDB mapping tool?
It would be good if any one could help me out.
Waiting for earlier response

Ram
Please review the Oracle XML DB basic demo, it will answer some of your questions.
To answer some of your questions.
XML DB is architected to work with documents that are based on an XML SChema rather than a DTD...
If you documents are not based on a schema you will need to store them as CLOB Based XMLtype. At this point you will be better off storing then in a relational table with an XMLType column, rather than an XMLType table. You can add other columns to this table for partioning purposes...
You can query documents based on an Hierarchy, but only if they are schema based. Non schema based XML would be stored in the repository, Again it can be queried in terms of the heirarchy, but you cannot control the partioning on non schema based XML stored in the XML DB repository.
You can have a PK only with Schema based XML. You can partition Schema based XML on any element that is not part of a collection.
Hope this helps

Basic questions on iPhone apps. Please help!

Hey I have a few semi-basic questions about iPhone apps. If you know the answers to any of them please respond as it would help me ton. Even if you dont know the exact answer, it'll help me with any input. Trapster is a good example of what im looking for because it uses a map and it receives/sends small amounts of data constantly.
1) How much on average does it cost to hire a group of people to code an app for you. Specifically, how much do you think the app Trapster took to program? Are there any specific other apps you know how much it took to code? I need estimates, because I have nothing. A number like 50,000 would help a ton more other then saying "it depends" .....
2) Apps like Trapster, send and receive small amounts of data all the time? What controls all of this data? Im guessing a server. But what are the server's specs? How many? Price per month?
3) With 3.0 SDK now out, you are now allowed to implement google maps into 3rd party applications. Now I know you cannot use it for turn-by-turn navigation. But can you still use the directions feature already on google maps? Can you still use the search feature to search for a restaurant as well? Or maybe you can just see the map and thats it. Does anyone know exactly what you can use with google maps or know where there is more information? Ive tried everywhere.
4) Just tell me if this is correct: You can add advertisements into your app. On average, for every 1000 times your app gets opened, you get about 1.00-2.00. So if your app gets opened 2,000,000 times you get $2,000 from advertising if you get 1.00/1000. Is that accurate as an average?
5) Since 3.0 now supports push notifications, would you be able to have anything at all running in the backround? For example, on trapster, if you approach a red light camera, the app beeps. With 3.0, if you are on the home screen and approaching the camera, is there a way of getting the iphone to beep even though your just on the iphones main screen or any other screen? Im guessing not because in order to receive the push the iphone needs to know your current location and the location of the camera, which is why the app would need to be running. Incase im wrong is there a way of doing this?
6) If an app is free and does not do advertising, does it make any money? If so how?
Thanks!

>"If an app is free and does not do advertising, does it make any money? If so how?"
Of course.
It's called 'reputation earned'. You negotiate your future based on attention from something (a free app?) that amazes the known world. Could be a book deal after you spend your young/old life crossing the divide - could be a marriage proposal that brings great wealth - could be a cabinet position with a station in a foreign tax haven.
Use your imagination.
As for cost, pull a number out of your hat and then double it...then double it again. Same goes for time, staff and delays.

Basic questions about Mapviewer for OBIEE 11G

Hello All..
I am pretty rookie in OBIEE and I have never worked with Mapviewer before.. I am going some POC right now in my environment and I want to experiment map reports in OBIEE.. My current OBIEE version is 11.1.1.6.5, Oracle DB version is 11.2.0.3.0 64 bit and OS is Linux 86-64 and I see that there are many versions of mapviwers to download from oracle website.
I have read a few articles on Mapviewer integration with OBIEE, but I still have a few questions about using mapviewers at the very basic level:
1. What versions do I download from Oracle website? I see there are many versions of mapviewers. Do I decide the version based on my OBIEE version or DB version?
2. What files do I download from Oracle website? I see there is mapviewer zip files and mapbuilder zip files. Which one do I download and how does installation works?
3. My OBIEE 11G and DB are running on linux environment, but in the Mapviewer download page, I don't see Oracle differentiating the OS environments. Does that mean Mapviewer is only either Unix/Linux or Windows? How do I determine in which environment I should install the files I downloaded?
I know these are very basic questions, perhaps too basic to blog about, that's why I can't find them online..
Please advise here..
Thanks

Basic question, how to create rtf template with a given xml file

Hello guys
I am new to BI publisher and I am learning how to create rtf templates using given xml fiel definitions by following the bi publisher guide
The steps I am following is:
1, create template using template builders, which is downloaded into MS words.
2, In the empty template, map the xml columns with template field using BI publisher tag
3, upload the template to BI Publisher as a layout.
That's all I can understand.
My question is:
1,in which above step do I import XML file into template builder (if not bi publisher), how to do so?
2,After template is created, how to associate this template layout with existing reports in BI Publisher, or is it necessary at all?
3,In the template content in MS Word template builder, what should I enter other than BI publisher tags for mapping XML field to desired template field
Or, if my understand of this process is entirely wrong, what's the right process of creating rtf template with a given XML file definition
Thanks

MapViewer - A team of newbies and definitely basic questions...

Dear All,
We are a team of programmers who are very new to MapViewer. We are an experienced team of GIS programmers, however, we find difficulty in applying known functions to MapViewer. It's a great application, but a lot of unknowns.
We have very basic questions, as well as advanced ones. I would like to summarize them as follows:
1. How can I let the map to be zoomed into a specific feature?
2. How can I execute a query to find a specific feature?
3. How can I execute network analysis query to find the shortest path or paths between two or more nodes?
4. How can I find out the nearest node to the location when user clicks on an arbitrary location on the map?
5. How can I execute generic queries, without (this is important) need to send/receive XML queries?
6. The bottomline is: we just want to use ready made functions to make it as easy as possible.
Anyhelp is greatly appreciated. We are stuck with the basics of MapViewer (Oracle Maps).
Please help us find the light :)
Best regards.
Desperate MapViewer Team!

Here are some quick answers, hopefully they are not too late.
1. You will construct a theme (mostly a dynamic one) that contains the specific feature, then call the theme's setBoundingTheme(true). Typically what we see people do is: a) create a dynamic theme with a query that selects a set of features; b) create a FOI layer based on the theme (MVThemeBasedFOI); c) call the setBoundingTheme(true) on the FOI layer. The end result, is that MapViewer will process your query and return the FOI data to the Oracle Maps JavaScript client, which will zoom the map to include the set of features in the FOI layer. Check out Oracle Maps tutorial #35 for an example.
2. This is partly answered above. Basically you will construct a theme with a dynamic query string. You may want to check out tutorial #37 which finds out and displays the buffers around a set of points; the buffers are constructed via a SQL query at run time.
3. This is not really a MapViewer question; rather, you may need to consult the Oracle Spatial routing engine XML API; the gist is you send the XML route request to the routing server, which returns a set of coordinates for your directions, which you can construct (MapViewer) FOI objects out of and display them on the map.
4. I'm not sure our routing engine or network data model API has such a function ready for use; what you can do is if you can formulate the SQL query string (with the current location represented as a binding variable), then you can create a theme out of this query condition, and simply supply the location at run time to get the set of nodes.
5. Can you please elaborate on what do you mean by generic queries? A simple usage scenario will help.
6. We understand; there are quite a lot of things that can be made easier out of the box and we are working towards that. in the mean time, just ask questions if you have them; and always check out the Oracle maps tutorials first (actually reading the MapViewer primer article should be the absolute first step :) ).

Basic question on Adobe document services

Hi
We have a ECC50 instance - the basis component of which has been given to us from our headquarters that has stripped off the J2EE server ( i.e given a WAS640 with just the ABAP runtime installed ).
Now, we are planning to use Adobe Interactive forms - for simple applications - like our field sales able to create a sales order by entering data -offline and submitting it to our ECC50 box.
Now, question is - the ADS - that provides runtime services - does it need a J2EE server - or can I assume that this version of our ECC50 has ADS installed on the ABAP stack - and we still go ahead and plan using Adobe Interactive Services assuming that ADS ( PDF document object )would be available to our ABAP environment to process a PDF form that comes in from field sales ?
Thanks in advance for answering this very basic question.

Hello Karthik,
the ADS only runs on the Java stack, so yes you will need to have SAP Web AS Java installed to deploy and run Interactive Forms.
The functionality of ADS can then be accessed both from Java and ABAP applications.
Cheers,
Matthias

Splitting AD - Basic questions

Hi,
I'm involved in a project where we intend to split to an existing AD forest (due to divestiture). Lets say there is a forest called Mycompany.com with one domain called mycompany.local. The goal is to split the Active Directory into 2 separate entities,
with both environments having a copy of the domain after being separated.
The execution idea (from what I understand) is that the existing forest will be "copied", a new forest created with the clone and a cleanup performed on both forests, as well as the new domain DC seizing the FSMO roles (I
know this is not the supported method from MS, but this is the approach we are going with nonetheless). Also, the two domains will be forever isolated so that they can never talk to each other, the aim being the two domains can co-exist without
knowing about each other
Now, in the above scenario I have some very basic questions I was hoping someone can help answer (I'm an AD novice when it comes to this type of stuff!)
1) To create a new domain, would it be advisable to clone an existing DC in mycompany.com and use that clone to setup a new domain (mycompany.pri) in a new environment, or install a new DC in the current domain, let it replicate and get all the data, take
that offline and instantiate a new environment using this DC?
2) Why does the new DC need to seize the roles from the original one? Wouldn't that mean the original DC no longer has any FSMO roles causing the original AD environment to break?
Apologies if the above questions are stupid, trying to wrap my head around this stuff for the first time :)

You need to create a new forest for this company. Then migrate all resources over using a migration tool.

Process Flow - basic question

Hi
I have a very basic question about Process Flows, that will help me decide to go for process flows or custom scheduling.
I create a process flow with complex dependencies, say MapA, mapB mapC start parallely and map1 starts as soon as mapA and mapB finish, and map2 starts when all mapA, mapB and mapC finish. When both map1 and map2 finish the pflow ends. The question is
1> Is it correct to use AND activity to define combined dependencies?
2> What happens when any two mappings are running parallely and one returns in failure? Will the whole process flow finish immediately? or, the other ones will keep running? Am asking this because I would be sending the failure transition to End Error, and as per my understanding, as soon as one pflow finishes with error, the transition will take the flow to End Error and other running will be aborted in between itself.
Please correct me if am wrong
Thanks in advance
Goga

Hi,
I think the others will remain running and will complete (e.g. they will not be aborted). However the logical AND will stop the process flow (it is stopped in a result of error). Since one transition never got to the AND the others will not continue.
You may want to use some other activities to verify what is going on. You may have all mappings always go to AND, then based on what the error is (you can get that from the runtime) decide whether to abort, or to just ignore the error and run the others.
