Best way to do diff across versions of a text column for a Wiki applicaiton

I've got a WikiText application that I use to make it easy for users to change text in a region via a WSIWYG editor.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=wikitext
It currently keeps saves prior versions of the text and details on who changed it and why.
What I would like to add is some sort of a version compare to show what text got added, deleted and/or replaced.
Any suggestions on best ways to do this in SQL? Anyone already wrote a function towards this purpose?
Thanks,
Erik

I think there are just too many variables at work to be able to automate postioning or the pull quote frame unless you are able to always use the same frame height, or some multiple of the leading value as the frame height. In that case you could experiment with anchoring a frame relative to the line (you'd probably have to anchor it in the previous line to get the wrap to work the way you want), then position the first one manually and not the distance below the line. Add that to the object style.
This would only work with text set on that particular leading. Change the leading and the positions would need to change, and if the anchored frame dimensions change, they would also need to change by the same amount as the leading or the spacing at the bottom would get out of balance.

HT5361 Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?

Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?
A great many of the traditional OSX installtion history items are no longer available in 10.8 One can no longer consult the installation history of the "Software Update" preference pane, because that functionality has moved to the Mac App Store utility. The Systems Information Utility does indeed show *some* installation history, but it does NOT include the Mail.app, for some reason. Fianlly, I can't find a web posting where apple at least provides the list of all recent software updates for mail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

UPDATE:
I have partially answered my own question. I found that if go to the History window for the selected file, then double-click the "version" (indicated by the label, which is actually displayed in the "comment" field), it opens the file in html. But, there is a "save as" button in this preview window. If I save the file to a temporary location and optionally, give it a different file name (e.g., to indicate the rev #), I can then go to Windows Explorer, double-click the file, which then launches in a browser window and displays the formatted web file. So this will definately suit my purposes from a audit perspective.
However, I still would like to understand how the tags, branches, and pinning works because that might be a better way?

I'd gather by your "reset Safari" and "clean up" you mean by sites you rather not have your mom see.

Best way to migrate Applications across environments of different versions

Hello Gurus,
Source EPM Environment - EPM 11.1.1.3
Target EPM Environment - EPM 11.1.2.2
What is the best way to migrate applications for Planning , Essbase , HFM and also the related reports from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 .
Any help will be highly appreciated..
Thanks
HyperEPM.

I tried with upgrading the application and it was done pretty smoothly as compared to the LCM import export method.
Now what would be the feasible way to move all the applications when following is the scenario and we need a minimum downtime.
1. Move from EPM 11.1.1.3 to EPM 11.1.2.2
2. DB used to configure EPM 11.1.2.2 should be fresh and not the existing one.
3. We want to move all the applications across to EPM 11.1.2.2 on the freshly configured EPM 11.1.2.2.
4. Move all the applications intact across the version.
Thanks

Best Way to Sync Lists Across Multiple Site Collections?

A quick query I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with...
Within our university intranet I am assigning each department a team site within its own Site Collection. So that departments can associate Document Library files with a set list of academic courses, I created a custom dropdown field and deployed it as a Feature. While this worked within SharePoint, when you attempted to set the document properties within the Microsoft Word environment the custom fields were rendered as empty text boxes (meaning that staff are no longer restricted in when information they can enter).
To get around this I'm considering going back-to-basics and creating a Custom List, populating it with the titles of our academic courses, and then assigning it to a Document Library via a Lookup Field. I know that Microsoft Word will then correctly display the metadata dropdown.
As I am using multiple Site Collections, I'm unsure of the "best" way to proceed.
I've already written a Console Application which can create a Custom List within a targetted site and populate it with the contents of an XML file - but I would need to run this every time I created a new Site Collection and what would I do when I wanted to update the contents of all the lists?
Other than modifying my Console Application to loop through all instances of the Custom List within Site Collections and sync it to the contents of the XML file, is there another (better) option that I am over-looking?
Its such a shame I can't create cross-collection Lookup Fields within all of the Site Collections that point to a single top-level list.
Many thanks.

My instinctive questions drifts towards why you have different site collections. If all the sites were sub sites within the same site collection, a global field would solve the issue quite nicely.
If you have legitimate reasons for keeping the sites seperated into separate site collections, I would look at using an Event Handler to trigger updates to reference values in each site collection, be they global fields or lists. Then if you wish to update the values, you only need to update the trigger list to propagate the updates across your site sollections to all your sites in question.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

What is the best way to monitor taffic across a Campus?

I am trying to find the best way/ways to monitor traffic across a campus network. The two solutions I have thought of are using Netflow or ERSPAN. However, neither are supported by the devices in this network. Here is a quick overview of the network...
Core Switches (3750 Stacks) using Layer 3
|
Distribution Switches (3750 & 3650s) using L3 towards Core and L2 towards Access
|
Access Switches (Mostly 3500s) using L2
What are the best options for monitoring traffic on this type of network? All links between switches are Gig, so we have plenty of bandwidth. I would really like to be able to setup snort/ntop or something similar.
Are there any solutions available that I could use RSPAN and a monitoring computer at the Access Switches and have them report back to a central monitoring machine? I would prefer a centralized solution.
Thanks,
Garrett

Hello Garrett
Each monitoring software has its own limitations/specifications..
If you want to monitor traffic/protocols running on ur network, on a constant basis, you will have to use Netflow.. You can use a simple netflow collector, and collect reports, and analyze the application traffic on your LAN/WAN.. Not sure if this will help too much in troubleshooting, since this will be more used for trending your applications. You can probably discover new applications, which arent used much on your network, using this..
But for real troubleshooting, you will need something like a syslog server.. u can configure logging levels and push important errors/updates from the cisco gear to this box. In case your box goes down, or has issues, system log messages will be dumped to this server and will be a very useful device for troubleshooting... eg, kiwi cat, solarwinds, 3cdaemon, and lots of other freewares...
I would ideally have both these components on my network, for trending and troubleshooting..
apart from this, if you have other advance technology products, like wireless, application accelaration etc, there are other network management solutions available..
Hope this helps.. All the best.. rate replies if found useful

Current (LV2012) best way to serve data across platforms

I'm interested in hearing what people would regard as the current best way do the following:
I'd like to publish data from labview in a format that can be read over a network across platforms. The data should be not just be visible, but it should be fairly simple for someone writing their own code, say on a Unix machine, to integrate this data into their programs. Some more specific are probably in order. In its simplest form we would like to transfer a 1d array of doubles (say of length 30) plus an image file (say 600x400 pixel jpeg) and update about every 5 second. The "client" would just read this data in at need, and there is no requirement that the client be able to access data other than the current data cluster at the moment it read the data - unread data is just thrown away when the next update arrives. Is a webservice the only/best way to do this at this time?

you might want to check Shared Variables (OPC)
A stupid thought maybe, but File IO is always a possiblity as well, might not be the best one, but will certainly work....
Kind regards,

Best way to average numbers across rows and columns

Hello,
What is the best way to average numbers both that span across both rows and columns?
I have a table that holds student names (y-axis), tests they take (x-axis), and their scores. I need to average the student's scrore for all tests and also average the test scores for all students.
How should I go about saving the data so I can then do some maths on it?
Thanks.

So far it looks like jQuery might be the way to go. It seems to be working out quite splendedly. I would still be curious to know how somebody might do this with CF.

Best way to share music across computer?

I host my music on my Mac, but I also have a PC that has better speakers, so I'd like to be able to play tunes from the PC. So I copied my music library to my Network attached server so it cold be seen by every computer in the house. I then opened iTunes on my PC and the music shows up under the shared section on the left. Problem is, none of my playlists went over...so I figured I could export them, but then I realized I have to do that one at a time. What a pain. So for grins I thought I would use the Top rated one built in on my PC iTunes and start from there, but it apparently only looks for tunes in the Music section and doesn't find songs in the shared section...
So this brings me to my question...before I spend any more time trying to figure this out on my own, I thought I'd reach out to the experts and ask, what's the best way to share music from a NAS over my home network (note that my NAS apparently has the Firefly iTunes Streaming server installed but I can't figure out how to use it...)
Ideas?

Best way to give a default value to a New Column with existing rows

Adding some columns to SQL tables with existing data rows. There are also views created from these tables. The views are used in some report/query software so NULL values are not good. Interested in learning about the best way to set a default value.
These are the ways that I can think of
1) ALTER TABLE using the DEFAULT to add the column and set the default value
++ Adds a constraint which is not terrible. Constraints are just not used much in this shop.
2) ALTER TABLE to add the column then do an UPDATE statement to update the values
++ might be an issue for tables with millions of rows
3) ALTER TABLE to add the column then use ISNULL in the CREATE VIEW

It is a large table with 444 columns and max row size of 2268. 907k records took 1 minute 38 seconds to UPDATE the column. I have about 12 fields to add to this table and about 44 tables (not all this large of course) so it will take some time to
UPDATE. Although ... i just tried updating 3 columns in a single UPDATE and it took 1 minute 36 seconds. So If I did all 12 fields in a single UPDATE it would be about the same time as a single Field. I will think about it.

Whats the best way to transfer VHS home video's into IMOVIE '11 for exporting/editing?

I have been reading about this subject online for a while now but need assistance/guidance before I go out and buy adapters etc. to begin my project. I am attempting to put home-videos of mine from VHS-C format onto my Macbook Pro.....Is it possible that if I use VCR adapter cables that go Red, White, Yellow, to USB I can directly import these VHS home videos into my computer?
I am going to have to buy a new VCR to do this and I would like to find out if this is going to work properly if I buy a VCR and use these Adapter cables I mentioned above.
Throughout my reading on the topic I've ran across a lot of different suggestions for a million different Video Conversion programs etc. although I would feel most comfortable using Imovie '11 on my brand new Macbook Pro because I have faith in Mac Programs for this type of a procedure.
I'd truly appreciate the help I've been wanting to work on this video project for quite a while now and I'm anxious to get some material in digital format to work with.

The VHS tape deck is analog. You have to convert these signals to digital format before you can edit them with iMovie.
There are a couple of ways to do this.
1) You can get a device called a DAC (Digital Analog Converter). Grass Valley makes a series of these. They are pricey, but give good results. They attach via Firewire, so make sure your Mac has a Firewire port. They produce a file in the DV format. You can import directly into iMovie with this option.
2) You can get a device called an EyeTV Hybrid. This will accept your RCA red, white, and yellow on one side, and attach with USB. This produces a file in H.264 format. You import the VHS into the EyeTV software, and then send it to iMovie through a menu choice.
3) Some camcorders have "passthrough" capability, meaning they can take the RCA Red, White, and Yellow in and output digital DV through Firewire. You can import directly into iMovie with this option.
Once converted, iMovie is a great way to edit your movies.
Personally, I use the EyeTV Hybrid. It also lets me view and record over the air HDTV on my Mac.
Here is a sample of my results with the EyeTV Hybrid.

Best way to export a 720p project to a 1080 file for film festival

I have a 4 year long project, in FCP7, with a 720/24 timeline. Most footage was shot 720, though some later was shot 1080... the film is complete, and now has been accepted into film festivals. (YAY!) Now I need to create a 1080/24 Pro Res file for a festival screener.
What is the BEST way to create that file?
Right now FCP 7 is chugging away in the background as I tried Export->QuickTime Movie and selected the desired codec, and checked recompress all frames and make movie self contained.
Is this the best way?
And, I need to FedEx this out tonight... :-)
Thanks in advance for your help...

>Right now FCP 7 is chugging away in the background as I tried Export->QuickTime Movie and selected the desired codec, and checked recompress all frames and make movie self contained.
No. Don't recompress...that adds a layer of compression. Simply export a QT movie...self contained, using the sequence settings. And then use Compressor to resize it to 1080.

Best way to determine optimal font size given some text in a rectangle

Hi Folks,
I have a preview panel in which I am showing some text for the current selected date using a date format.
I want to increase the size of the applied font so that it scales nicely when the panel in which it is drawn is resized.
I want to know the best way in terms of performance to achieve the target. I did some reading about AffineTransform and determining by checking ina loop which is the correct size, but it does not feel like a good way.
I would appreciate some tips.
Cheers.

How is the best way to install the latest version of Crystal Reports 2008

I have been downloading for hours all the service packs, hot fixes, fix packs and chasing my tail for way too long on this.
I keep getting errors about a file being out of sequence.... I assume there is a very loooooong list of fixpacks that need to be applied!!!    This is such a nightmare.
Is there a simple way to just install the latest version of 2008 Crystal Reports?
If I have to follow a long sequence of updates, is it written down anywhere?
The reason for this in the firstplace is because I moved to Visual Studio 2010 with .Net 4.0 framework and now none of my crystal reports work.
I am using the full version of Crystal Reports 2008 installation, not the one built into Visual Studio
HELP!!!!!!

When I try installing SP2 it starts the update and just locks up... no errors... just sits there. I let it sit for about an hour.
Is it compatible with Windows 7 ?
When I tried installing a fixpack, I kept getting errors that a file was out of sequence.   I will try uninstalling all of Crystal and just reinstall in this order:
1. Crystal Reports 2008 from CD
2. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2
3. Install FixPack 2.6
This is what I tried the first time and got all the errors, but I will try it again...   is this correct?
(I don't need to install SP0 or SP1 or any other Fixpacks.... Correct?)
