Hi check my weblog: https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/du0

I want to transfer my iPhoto from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro. I have a firewire or I could also do it from my TimeCapsule. Would one be a better method than the other?

Hi brotherbrown,
A direct FireWire transfer (especially if it's 800 to 800) is going to be the fastest method. TimeCapsule would work, if you connect to it via Ethernet, via wireless it would be quite slow (especially if you have a large library).

Better method of coding.

In my program i have to take the name of the first record and store it in a variable.I am using this value down in my program. I am simulating the scenario with an
example
declare
vname emp.ename%type;
begin
select * from
(select ename into vname from emp where deptno in(10,20) and rownum =1)
dbms_output.put_line (vname);
end;
ERROR at line 6:
ORA-06550: line 5, column 15:
PL/SQL: ORA-01744: inappropriate INTO
ORA-06550: line 4, column 1:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
So i modified the code like this..
declare
vname emp.ename%type;
begin
for emprec in(select * from
(select ename from emp where deptno in(10,20) and rownum =1))
loop
vname:=emprec.ename;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line (vname);
end;
Is there any better method of doing this?

declare
vname emp.ename%type;
begin
select ename into vname from emp where deptno in(10,20) and rownum =1;
dbms_output.put_line (vname);
end;

NEED HELP!! creating a method to search records from a data.dat file

i am having a lot of trouble trying to create a method for searching records from a data.dat file as a contacts application i am using (for) and (if) together and getting the same error messages saying a ")" is needed when it doesn't and illegal start of expression can anyone help! on letting me know how you create search methods! thanks

A better method?

Hi, I use Forte for Java development. I tried to define a menu with some items having icons but not other. How can I align vertically the menu_item_text from a popup composed from both icon and non icon menu items? For now I'am thinking to add an empty icon to the non icon items. Is there any better method?
thanx

A better way to search a string in a 3GB txt file

I am looking for a string(12 characters) in a 3GB txt file. I use the file reader to go though each line and use the startwith() (that 12 characters are from the beginning of each line) to check if that line contain the string I am searching for. Is there a faster way to do it? Thank's.

I would avoid using java to parse/search a 3 GB text file at all costs. Any java solution is going to have terrible performance and you may run into memory problems. I would recomend that you either a) develop a native method for resolving this search and just invoke it from your current java class or b) use Runtime.exec to invoke a native OS command for searching the file (like grep or find) and parse the results. ....
I'm not even sure how I would complete that task with java exclusivly ... maybe break the file into smaller parts, then iterate through each smaller, temporary file ... I would really recomend storing your data in a different format if possible. A 3 GB text file just isn't very partical or secure.
... oh, to answer your original question (which I'm not sure if I all ready did), the fatest way to load the file is to wrap it into some BufferedReader. The fatest way to perform String searches is through the java.util.regex package if you have access to the 1.4 API. Other wise, just use basic String searches, as you all ready are.

Lock and semaphore, what's better method for my case

Hi all,
I'm implementing a classic case: a consumption queue with infinite capacity. That's say I have a queue of infinity capacity, a thread to put objects into the queue, another thread take it out. Pseudo code is smth like below:
void put(Object o) {
put message into the queue
if (consume thread is waiting) {
lock();
signal();
unlock();
void eat() {
if (queue not empty)
take object out;
else
lock;
wait for signal from producer;
wake up and take object out;
unlock;
I don't know if I should use semaphore or Lock interface to get the job done. Do you know which one is better in my case? I'm writing an apps which is very sensitive in latency so basically I want the eater to get the object as soon as possible. Any advices?

Blocking queue doesn't work for me as it is too slow.
I don't need to lock the data because one thread
adds too the tail, one thread consumes the head, so
why bother?LinkedBlockingQueue allows concurrent access to the head and tail ie it uses two different locks.
A Lock is a mechanism for mutual exclusion. It generally has a notion of ownership and so the thread that locks must be the thread that unlocks.
A Semaphore is a resource counter. There are no constraints on which thread signals() after await(). It is only a protocol that you establish in your code that allows it to be used for exclusion.
A bounded-buffer generally needs two synchronization aids:
a) an exclusion control to ensure the data structure is not corrupted by concurrent access
b) a coordination control to allow consumers to block when the buffer is empty, or producers to block when the buffer is full.
These two can be combined by using "synchronized" methods and wait/notify. Or by using Lock and associated Condition objects. Or you can use "synchronized" blocks or Lock for exclusion, and handle the coordination using a seperate semaphore (which must use some form of internal synchronization too - but perhaps more efficient.)
If you have a lock-free data structure, such as ConcurrentLinkedQueue then you don't need anything for (a) and so you only need coordination. So try using a Semaphore: put() increments it and take() decrements it.
But the Semaphore still becomes a serialization point in your code.

Better method than switch?

I have the following code.
public Animalinfo(int animalInfo){
        switch (animalInfo) {
            case 1:File inputFile1 = new File("monkey.txt"); FileInputAnimal monkey = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile1);break ;
            case 2:File inputFile2 = new File("rooster.txt"); FileInputAnimal rooster = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile2);break ;
            case 3:File inputFile3 = new File("dog.txt"); FileInputAnimal dog = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile3);break ;
            case 4:File inputFile4 = new File("boar.txt"); FileInputAnimal boar = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile4);break ;
            case 5:File inputFile5 = new File("rat.txt"); FileInputAnimal rat = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile5);break ;
            case 6:File inputFile6 = new File("ox.txt"); FileInputAnimal ox = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile6);break ;
            case 7:File inputFile7 = new File("tiger.txt"); FileInputAnimal tiger = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile7);break ;
            case 8:File inputFile8 = new File("rabbit.txt"); FileInputAnimal rabbit = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile8);break ;
            case 9:File inputFile9 = new File("dragon.txt"); FileInputAnimal dragon = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile9);break ;
            case 10:File inputFile10 = new File("snake.txt"); FileInputAnimal snake = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile10);break ;
            case 11:File inputFile11 = new File("horse.txt"); FileInputAnimal horse = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile11);break ;
            case 12:File inputFile12 = new File("sheep.txt"); FileInputAnimal sheep = new FileInputAnimal(inputFile12);break ;
//where fileinputanimal prints the text file in the window
        }It works and i can't see much else to addto it. But i was just wondering if anyone had other possible improvements on it, like a way of not adding a number to the end of each File inputFilex. Also, is there an alternate method to switce. I can't think of any myself, but that means i'll have to start working on a switch like above but containing around 500 cases in it this time.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Jeez, so much help in fifteen minutes alone. I feel bad for taking a day to respond.
The animalInfo int comes from the user input. The user types in their date of birth. It then converts to a float so i can do 'year % 12', Okay, that makes sense. But an int would be better.
Now...to learn about maps.Nah, since it's always going to be 0-11, and it's the numerical value that has significance, not some arbitrary "key", it's simpler to just stick with the switch statement. Do pay attention to the simplifications I gave you though, and rather than having the constructor do anything besides initialize the state of an object, after construction, call a print or display or whatever method.
EDIT: Or, possibly better, go with the other poster's suggestion of an array of Strings, whose values are the file names.

Method to Search User Account in AD?

HI All,
I have a requirement, that, I have to find a User Account in AD. Based on that i have to set another variable with either True / False.
Is there any method to do the search in Resource? (like the 'testUser' method from FormUtil class searches user account in IDM. It returns True if the user exists in IDM else it returns False.)
Like this, Is there any method to do the search in Resource?
Replies appriciated.
Thanks

Hi,
this method is called 'getResourceObjects' .
sometime ago I had to search for groups in AD. I is similar to your problem.
First you set a searchFilter which has to be in LDAP notation (use google for that).
Variable ADResName is the name of your AD Resource in IDM. Variables groupName_global
and groupName_local are 2 AD group names like MyGroup1 and MyGroup2.
and then call 'getResourceObjects' method:
<block>
        <set name='searchFilter'>
          <concat>
            <s>(|(CN=</s>
            <ref>groupName_global</ref>
            <s>)</s>
            <s>(CN=</s>
            <ref>groupName_local</ref>
            <s>))</s>
          </concat>
        </set>
        <dolist name='adgroup>
          <invoke name='getResourceObjects' class='com.waveset.ui.FormUtil'>
            <select>
              <ref>:display.session</ref>
              <invoke name='getLighthouseContext'>
                <ref>WF_CONTEXT</ref>
              </invoke>
            </select>
            <s>Group</s>
            <ref>ADResName</ref>
            <map>
              <s>searchContext</s>
              <ref>base-context</ref>
              <s>searchFilter</s>
              <ref>searchFilter</ref>
              <s>searchScope</s>
              <s>subtree</s>
              <s>searchAttrsToGet</s>
              <List>
                <String>description</String>
                <String>samAccountName</String>
              </List>
            </map>
          </invoke>
          <appendAll name='adgroups>
            <get>
              <ref>adgroup</ref>
              <s>accountId</s>
            </get>
          </appendAll>
          <appendAll name='directories'>
            <get>
              <ref>adgroup</ref>
              <s>samAccountName</s>
            </get>
          </appendAll>
        </dolist>
      </block>Instead of <s>Group</s> I think you might need something like <s>User</s> .
base-context is something like this (have a look into your AD Controller):
<set name='base-context'>
               <s>ou=juhu,dc=com,dc=waveset</s>
</set>I hope this helps a little bit.

Fastest method for searching within a PDF file?

I have created a PDF document that holds all document reports for the last 10 years. It is currently 30,000 pages. As time goes on, incoming reports append to this PDF. This has proven to be an excellent way of holding and retrieving information, allowing me to pull up reports using specific search criteria.
The question I pose is this. Is there any faster way to search this mammoth document than the adobe search feature? The adobe search feature has great functionality, without a doubt. And even with 30,000 pages I can search the entire document in about 5 minutes or so, however in this day and age, 5 minutes can be a lifetime, especially to a client, lawyer, doctor, etc...
Does anyone know of a way of improving Adobe's search function to expedite it, or know of any existing third party programs that are able to do this (free or for cost)?
I appreciate your time, love the community, and await your response.
Have a great day.

Hi,
You can try going to finder, hitting CMD + F and below search this mac, you should see kind. You can try switching that contents and the second option to documents.
Hope this helps,

Better method than using a large number of shift registers?

I'm trying to work with example code provided free by stanford research systems (http://www.srsys.com/downloads/soft.htm).
Their example software alows the user to run an analog scan across 100 masses (the x axis) which progressively produces a graph of all the data. It repeats scanning (and updating the graph)until the user hits stop.
My goal is to find a way to make the program display the graph of the last scan while it is displaying the current scan (this way it is possible to compare the graphs and see how they change). But as best I can tell the data is generated and plotted in a while loop piece by piece so the best thing my labview inept mind has managed so far is using a large nu
mber of shift registers and graphing the points as they generated along with points that were generated 10 cycles ago in a different color.
So I hope to either find a good way to use shift registers to get values from over 100 cycles ago (which doesn't really seem to work unless i just make space for over 100 little arrows in my loop) or to find a better approach to the whole mess.
The example does not seem to use XY plot and to tell the truth I don't know exactly what its using to plot.
Can anyone offer any guidance or at least understand my question enough to point me in the right direction.
I'm including the stock example and my adaptation to it but if you need to use the included sub vi's the package is on that SRS webpage I listed above (look under RGA).
I suppose this may all be too much to ask but I can dream can't I?

I certainly agree that the DAQ programming is the part leaving me most confused. I'll attach the package that I am trying to modify, the trouble is there are so many sub vis involved in actually acquiring the data that I am not entirely sure what format the data comes out in.
Perhaps to someone more skilled than I am with lab view the inner workings of this package would be clearer. If you are up for it then look at SRSRGAa simple analog.vi in SRSRGA61.lib and you can see what I'm working with.
I'll also attach my attempt to modify the code to make it work like altenbachs example... however somehow it would seem my timing/synchronization is off. Hope some of this makes sense, I'll see what luck I can have with get w
aveform components, I suppose I have been approaching this so far as if my DAQ was just giving me data points as opposed to a waveform.

Better method of design question

Before starting another project, I thought I'd check opinion on the most efficient design and processing of the forms.
It's an extremely simple application that needs to track 7 different types of meetings, their dates, and the people in attendance.
Originally, I was going to create 3 separate tables, one for the meetings with TYPE,DATE & PRIMARY_KEY field from a sequence, another table for personnel of the type PRESIDENT with PRES_NAME & FOREIGN KEY fields populating FOREIGN_KEY with MEETINGS SEQUENCE, and a third table for personnel called VICE_PRES with VICE_NAME & FOREIGN_KEY fields also populated with MEETINGS SEQUENCE.
There are times when there will only be 1 president and 5 vice, other times there will be 2 presidents and 6 vice. So I figured a separate table for PRES and VICE would ensure that every column entered into the table would have data in it rather than creating one table with TYPE, DATE, AUTOID, 2 PRES and 6 VICE and have several empty columns per record.
After creating the 3 tables I've now run into more complex processing that I have in the past. I now need to display additional PRES and VICE fields when a radio element indicates Y and submits. I also only let this radio display when the meeting type select list is VIS and submits.
The display issues appear to be correct at this point. The major problem I have is how to process multiple rows into 3 separate tables with one submit.
How would one go about adding 2 PRES and 6 VICE names as separate rows at one time? This would be simple if I had used poor table design and just put everything into one table, but now that I have 3 tables to insert data into at the same time, and considering I have to add multiple records into one table at the same time I've run into more of a challenge than in the past.
In addition, I've searched for how to process a form with blank items into a table without entering the nulls and haven't had much luck. This problem comes into play when I have 2 PRES items and 6 VICE items but only enter 1 PRES and 5 VICE. How to process multiple rows into the same tables and remove any null values from that process.
Also, I may have the wrong idea as to how to link the 3 tables personnel records with the meeting records using one sequence and putting that number into all the tables, sometimes into multiple records at the same time. If I do, please do tell me about it. It seemd the most logical way of keying across tables.
Thanks for any help on this thing!
Jacob

Took a couple days off... I made a quick page indicating the items on the page. It's at link http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=15398:1
Originally I wanted 3 tables for this. 1 stores the meeting type& date. 1 stores the PRESIDENT name and his COMPANY. 1 stores the VICE president name and COMPANY. This way, I won't be accumulating a ton of null values in one larger table.
I need these items to submit to their respective tables with 1 submit. Additionally, if there is only one value for PRES and one for VICE, I would need to submit only those items that are not NULL so I'm not loading up the null values in the tables.
This has to be simple, I just don't immediately see how to accomplish this.
Thanks 2 anyone.

Better method for newspaper editing

I've been able to make some news articles and export them to PDF with pleasing results and have been improving my efficiency with each completed document, but feel that there is a better way of doing it still. Basically, what I'm making are articles that have about two to three images embedded in each article, and have maybe two to three jump lines which redirect the reader to other pages.
I have about 35 articles total. Is there a way to enter them all into InDesign, add appropriate images and captions to the articles, and add appropriate jump lines (if there's a way to add meta data to each article and specify a "jump line title" variable that will automatically fill in before "Next Page Number" / "Previous Page Number")? So that way, I can pick and choose which articles to add to each newsletter volume instead of undertaking the laborious task of adding an article and having to manually edit every component.
Thx!

Hey, it sounds like you could use Section Markers. If you name your pages (assuming each article starts on a new page) you can have the section names be filled in automatically. Take at the document numbering options for more information on this: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-7111a.h tml
Your jump box could look like this: "[SectionMarker] continued on [NextPageNumber]"
Let me know if you still need help.
