BootCamp 2.1 Success/Failure

Hello everyone.
There are now several threads on this topic. I have read over most of them and i think i may have found a link between the failures. However, proving this will require your help. Although the update just released is 2.1, most people will have used v2.0 drivers up until now (included on Leopard DVD). However, it appears that there was a sneaky update to BootCamp that is only available on certain Restore Discs that come with new Macs. The version contained on them is 2.02.
I would like people to list their experience with installing v2.1.
Answer these questions please.
1. Your Mac model (be specific with release dates/model numbers)?
2. Did you install drivers from a Leopard DVD, or from your Restore Discs?
3. Did your 2.1 install succeed, or fail?
4. XP, Vista32 or Vista64?
5. Windows on partition within OS X hard drive, or separate drive?
Keeping your answers short will allow easier collation of people's responses. Thanks.
My details are as follows...
1. MacPro 3.0Ghz 8-core (April 2007)
2. BootCamp drivers installed from Leopard DVD
3. BootCamp 2.1 succeeded on XP, installer fails to launch on Vista64
4. See 3, above
5. XP on separate drive, Vista64 on separate drive

Hello again,
I have done some more digging around the internet and tried a few more tricks. My specific interest is Vista64.
It seems to be a fact that, prior to Boot Camp 2.02, there are no 64 bit drivers for Vista. Boot Camp 2.02 appears to be available only on the Restore Discs that came with Mac Pro 2008 model. This means that, for example, my Vista64 installation (which has Boot Camp 2.0 drivers installed from the Leopard DVD) has only 32 bit drivers installed. I have confirmed this by seeking out the location of the installed drivers. They are in a folder called 'Boot Camp' within 'Program Files(x86)'. The 'Program Files' folder (this is the 64 bit folder) has no 'Boot Camp' folder in it at all.
To test out a theory, i downloaded the BC 2.1 update for Vista32. However, before installing this, i used the Leopard DVD BC 2.0 installer to remove the existing installation. I did this to see if the BC 2.1 Vista32 Update would install if there were no existing drivers at all. The update simply refused to even launch. I then re-installed BC 2.0 from the Leopard DVD and tried the BC 2.1 Vista32 updater. This time, the updater launched and went through the installation process. However, it gave the same errors (KeyAgent and Mac HAL) that v2.0 installer does.
Regardless, this appears to confirm that the BC 2.1 updaters (XP, Vista32 and Vista64) require a suitable set of existing Boot Camp drivers to be installed. I think it is also safe to say that the BC 2.1 Vista64 updater will only run if you have existing 64 bit drivers installed (i.e. you installed from Mac Pro 2008 Restore Discs, not the Leopard DVD or earlier)
I must add that the semi-successful installation of BC 2.1 Vista32 drivers has not given me the features found in XP (Eject Key, Volume Keys etc etc).
I would be very keen to get hold of a copy of the Boot Camp Drivers that are on the Mac Pro 2008 Restore Discs as i have read that the 'KeyAgent' and 'Mac HAL' errors are not present during installation. I am quite sure that with these drivers installed on my own Mac Pro, the BC 2.1 Vista64 updater will work.
Can anyone who has a Mac Pro 2008 extract the Boot Camp installer from their disc and send it to me somehow? Any suggestions on how this could be achieved? Upload to .Mac, Torrent etc.

Strange issue in custom Success/Failure captions

Hi,
I have a strange issue in my custom Success/Failure caption. If I use 'S' letter in my customized caption .bmp file, it is not showing properly in the captivate. Attached file is for your reference. I tried converting text into image in photoshop, still it shows the same thing. Any thoughts??
Thanks in Advance,
-Ajay

OK. That's what I thought.
So what I think is going on here is due to the way Captivate assembles text captions that can stretch to any size based on the component images. I think your corner image that contains the text is being stretched right at the point where the S character is located on the end of Congratulations. Captivate is achieving the resizable text caption by repeating the last few pixels of each background image.
If you want to test my theory, just make your Congratulations text slightly shorter (use a condensed font or make the font size smaller) and I think your issue will go away.

Suggestion: Click Box needs option to display success/failure caption until next click

As it stands right now, if I want to put several click boxes on a page and have the success captions for each appear in the same location, I can only set the success/failure caption to display for a limited amount of time. That is the only way to make the text disappear from the screen. The problem is, I want to have several different click boxes. When the user clicks, the success caption should display. Then the user shoudl be able to click on another click box and have the success caption for that appear in the same location. The problem is the success caption from the previous click box may still be displayed (depending on how long it was set to display for). There really needs to be an option to select that says display until next click. It does no good to guess how long a user will want to read the success/failure text before they decide to click on another text box.
You have the same problem with audio. As it is right now, a user can click on several click boxes and have several different audio tracks playing simultaneously. There needs to be an option to disable the first audio track upon clicking the next click box.
I can't believe this problem hasn't been fixed before this. It is a very annoying problem. I never had half the problems I have with Captivate, when I used Authorware. If there is some kind of work-around I'd like to know what it is.

My suggestion would be that you think a little further outside the box to solve this 'issue'.
It appears to me that you want to display information in captions that appear and disappear based on user interaction, correct? AND you also want audio to play at the same time, but you don't want more than one audio track to play, correct?
To achieve what you want requires at least two separate mouse events. One event triggers the caption and audio to appear. The other must trigger any previous captions to disappear and immediately shut off their audio. Since you don't know which of your objects will be the first one interacted with by the user, all of them must be set up to check for any previously invoked captions and audio before turning on their own caption and audio.
Now all of this CAN be done using Captivate's variables and advanced actions. But there IS a much simpler solution staring you in the face. Why is it essential that all of this MUST happen with mouse clicks? Why not use mouse overs events instead?
Captivate provides rollover caption and rollover image objects for which you can attach audio to the object that appears on rollover. These objects have two mouse events (rollover and rollout). Rollover triggers the caption to appear so that the text displays and it's audio plays, while the rollout triggers the caption to disappear and automatically shut off the audio. This means that the user merely needs to move their mouse around the screen rolling over the hot spots to see information and hear audio. And if you just place a click box or button on the slide to pause the playhead, your user can spend as much time as they want reviewing the content before moving on. You don't have to worry about rewinding the playhead with Advanced Actions because clicks on your content objects would resume play.
These rollover objects can be set up in seconds with audio attached. I'm surprised more Captivate authors don't use them given how easy they are to apply in comparison to other click-driven solutions using Advanced Actions.

Is it possible to hide success/failure captions in the test, but make them available in the review?

Hi Everyone
I've got a 50 question, timed quiz and we want to disable the success and failure captions because they slow the students down, frankly, are kind of annoying. However, we want to allow the users to review the quiz after taking it. The problem is that the review feed back seems to use the success/failure object, so, when you review the quiz, you just see the questions with no feedback. Kind of pointless. Does anyone know of a way to disable (or remove) the success/failure captions in the quiz, while providing feedback in the quiz review?
Thanks

Hello,
For the moment a lot of people are still working with CP4, others have adopted CP5 already, so it helps if you mention the version you're using.
The feedback showed during review is in the Review area (you can see it in the slide on the stage). The message in this Review Area is not linked to the Correct/Incorrect/Incomplete messages you can show during answering the Questions. If you are using CP5 you can deactivate the Correct and Incomplete messages in the Quiz Properties panel, region Options. You cannot deactivate the Incorrect message. If the user answers correctly and the Correct caption is not there, the project will continue after clicking on the Submit button. However when the user answers incorrectly, the Incorrect message will appear however, instructing them to use 'Y' or click on the slide to continue.
During Review the user will see the Review Message, if you allowed Review (Quiz Preferences, Settings). The message showed is configured in the "Quiz Review Message' that you'll see in the Properties panel when the Review area is selected (or using the button 'Quiz Review Messages...' in the Quiz Preferences, Settings). If the user answered correctly, the message 'You answered this question correctly" (is indeed similar to the Correct caption). If the user answered incorrectly, his answer will be displayed and the correct answer (which is different from the Incorrect caption).
Hope this explains the difference. If you are using CP4, let me know and I'll try to explain the workflow in that UI.

How to check the success/failure of e-mail sending from Sharepoint?

Dear Expert,
I connect Exchange 2010 and SharePoint 2010. When user create workflow in sharepoint, it will send the email to confirm. if it's done. but I checked from user they didn't get the email. I would like to know how to check the success/failure of e-mail
sending from Sharepoint?
Thank you

By default, there is no logging mechanism in SharePoint for outgoing mails.
Mails in SharePoint are sent by giving an SMTP sever IP address in Central Administration. SharePoint never sends email directly. It relays or routes mails to the SMTP server. So, logging should be done in the SMTP server itself.
There is also another way of doing it. You can enable SMTP service of IIS for sending emails from SharePoint, which would also just relay the mails to an SMTP Server. But in this case, you can enable logging in your IIS SMTP Service. Please visit this blog
for more details.
In your case you need to check your exchange server for any failure for relaying mails.

Testing success/failure of archiveLogFile() method of servermanager

When attempting to archive a log file programmatically using the archiveLogFile() method of servermanager is there a way to test the success/failure of the action. I tried
adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("topsecret");
serverObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi._servermanager.servermanager");
result = serverObj.archiveLogFile("logfilename");
writeDump(result);
However, result is undefined.
Thanks!

That function has a void returntype, that's why.

Instead you'd have to do something like a directory read to see if the file had been renamed.

BPM - PI/XI Integration to get success/failure message from PI into BPM?

Hello Experts,
I happen to run into following scenario:
I have a BPM Process created in NWDS CE 7.2. This process allowes to create a record in SAP. When a user requests to create a record and fill out the required details, it goes to approver for approval. Upon approval, record gets checked-in to MDM and then from MDM it is syndicated to SAP R3 using an IDOC. Now, what I need is, if PI/XI is succesful to create that record in R3, then the success message should be sent to BPM for performing some further actions. And if it is a failure message returned from PI/XI then BPM will take a different lane.
Can I do this? If yes how? I read about PI Integration Repository, Java Mapping APIs etc but to be frank I am not able to understand it at all. Please help.
Ameya

Thanks John,
Before I close this thread, following are my understandings:
1) I need an intermediate event who's trigger will be mapped to PI service
2) That means, PI will use this webservice for sending the reply back to BPM event
3) Accordingly BPM flow will be decided
End-point URL is the WS URL and that is also available in WS Registry. Apart from this, whatever PI side configurations or development is required that is out of our purview. Is that correct?

SAP ECC 6 Upgrade to 2008 R2 and Virtualization success/failure stories

Hi Sap community,
I'm planning the following upgrade on my SAP Ecc 6.0 :
Source CI : physical server on windows 2003 x64 SP2,
Target CI : virtual server under vsphere 5.0 Windows 2008 x64 R2,
Source DB : physical server on windows 2003 x64 SP2, SQL 2005 SP2
Target DB : virtual server on windows 2008 x64 R2, SQL 2008 R2
Target physical boxes are not the same as source..
I've already verified pre-requisites, best practices, upgrade path on notes, forums,etc ..
What I haven't found, are the different experiences (success or failure stories) people had with performances while performing such an upgrade, especially with the path I want to use :
1) P2V the 2 servers
2) Upgrade to W2008 R2
3) Upgrade SQL to SQL 2008 R2
Although technically it works (tested on sandbox) I'm just wondering in a long term and with load, if such a enviroment will run without issues in production.
I know that some of you will advice me to create new clean installs and use "system copy" but I would like to avoid changing my hostnames because of dependencies (with BI, CRM, transport system etc...) UNLESS someone tells me that he experienced the P2V method and lived a nightmare.
My second question would be : for the DB : has someone tested having DB on VMDK disks versus RDM disks.
Thank you
Jorge

Hi,

Answer to your above 3 questions : approach has been successful. I had done it at 2 places.
My second question would be : for the DB : has someone tested having DB on VMDK disks versus RDM disks.
Please find more details about VMDK and RDM in the links below. Further more you can have maximum details about your query from the link below.

RMAN's success/failure status

Version: 10gR2
For tracking/documentation purposes, we would like to know if our daily RMAN backup job was a success or failure.
I've searched Oracle documentation for views like
RC_BACKUP_CORRUPTION
RC_BACKUP_SET_DETAILS
.etc for this. But this doesn't seem to provide an accurate answer.
How do you guys track the status of your daily RMAN backups?

If you are using a FULL a query like this might be enough.
(I always check the RMAN Log daily)
SELECT OPERATION, STATUS, OBJECT_TYPE, TO_CHAR(START_TIME,'MM/DD/YYYY:hh:mi:ss') as START_TIME,
TO_CHAR(END_TIME,'MM/DD/YYYY:hh:mi:ss') as END_TIME
FROM sys.V_\$RMAN_STATUS WHERE START_TIME > SYSDATE -1 AND OPERATION = 'BACKUP'
and object_type = 'DB FULL'
order by start_time desc

How to read success/failure message while running sqlldr through php?

Hi All,
currently i am running sqlldr through PHP . i want to read both success and failure message from sqlldr.
sometimes it fails to load data, but it shows record inserted
is there ant way to figure it out succ or failure?

With SQL Loader you can get errors at several levels.
At the command line level by reading $? after it runs since it sets $ERROR_LEVEL correctly.
It also creates many types of log files which can then be parsed that include but are not limited to:
The [control file name].log and the [control file name].bad file which are created wherever you would like them to be created and named any way you would like them. The [control file name].bad file contains all records that were considered unacceptable by SQLLDR and therefor simply testing for that files existence will start you down the road to programatically dealing with errors.
Yes I know the documentation for SQLLDR is worse then stereo instructions that started out in Japanese, then were translated to Greek then to Korean then finally into English but there are some pretty good examples out there.

Memory Game Success/Failure Caption Duration

Is there any way to extend the amount of time the success and failure captions stay on the screen for the memory game in Captivate 7?

Memory game can fail because of time out as well. Since the variable assigned to memory game does not show up in the variables list, I don't think you can delay it for failure condition.
For success condition, delete the default captions, add your own caption, name it as say, Success, assign the following advanced action for On Success.
Show Success.
Assign cpCmndGotoFrame with CpInfoCurrentFrame

2.0 Update. Successes, Failures, How did go for you?

Well I'm still waiting, so I have to ask before I take the plunge.
Has anyone had a successful update to 2.0, and if not what happened? If it went well, what did you notice, still have spinning Beach balls? . . . Inquiring minds want to know.

At the risk of alienating our PC friends (Yes, I'm one to) I notice a pattern here. Seems the only successful update to 2.0 occurred on a Mac based computer, all the PC's (so far) have had failures.
Not intended to slam Windows users but an interesting coincidence.
Any consolation I have 3 Win based PC's and just recently defected to the Mac camp with the new iMac.
My iTunes and library are set up on the Mac so I guess I will see if I brick my iPhone and iPod Touch today or not.

Macbook Pro 2011 boots to Recovery disc or bootcamp only after successfully installing bootcamp on Mt Lion 10.8, the 3 harddiscs are there, but selectin Mac HD will boot to recovery disc

On my Macbook Pro 13.3" mid 2011 model, with Lion and bootcamp, upgrading to Mountain lion 10.8 hung for the whole night. It failed to boot up, I was panic, reinstall the OS in the hope it will repair the boot disc, but it locked up the macintosh HD.
I rebuilt OS without bootcamp from backed up image (Lion) then upgraded to Mountain lion, no problem at all. Used it for a couple of days, then installed bootcamp and restored the Windows 7 image from the backup. It's completed without any problem. It can boot up in Windows 7 and I changed startup disc in control panel to Mac HD, it can only boot from the recovery disc. Holding down the option key will show the 3 hard discs: Macintosh HD, Windows and Recovery 10.8, but selecting Mac HD always boots up by recovery disc. I have use disk utility from recovery disc to verify and repair Macintosh HD to no avail.
If I use only mountain lion, it will be OK.
Has anyone experience the same problem? Thank you.

2.0 Firmware update: router & car connection successes, failures & warning

1. I found out that my Touch doesn't see the network on my Airport extreme 802.11n operating on 5GHz in a mixed Airport Extreme network. It does, however, see & connect to an attached Airport extreme 802.11g operating on 2.4GHz (with WPA2). Conclusion: Maybe the Touch can't connect to routers operating on 5GHz. Has anyone had any success with routers operating on 5GHz?
2. After installing the firmware update, my Touch stopped working with my car's Alpine iPod radio that I had been using for over a year with the Touch without any problems. It detected the iPod, but kept on "searching" without any success. I'll try another iPod tomorrow, but I'm sure the radio is OK. That's a problem as I doubt that the radio manufacturers will come up with software updates to accommodate Apple's iPod firmware updates. Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem?

No video and audio dropouts with my 2G touch. 2G Nano works fine. Alpine Tech help's pointing the finger to Apple.

How to return success/failure message in a VBA program that uses ADODB

I have this little VBA program that uses ADODB to execute a SQL Server Agent job remotely. How do I add a message box at the end that would give some feedback to the user, if the execution command was successfully sent to the server or if it failed?
Sub Test_SSIS()
Dim conn As Object
Set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider = "sqloledb"
conn.Properties("Prompt") = adPromptComplete
conn.Open = "Data Source=MYSERVER;USER ID=JOHNDOE;"
conn.Execute "exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job 'Test_remote_job_execution'"
End Sub

Hi Tim,
When I looked up the BOL about the ADO.Connection
EXECUTE method, something came to my sight.
"An ExecuteComplete event will be issued when this operation concludes." You may reference the
ExecuteComplete. A quick glance at the event, it contains the execute result set and errors if occured.
Regarding your description, your question is more relevant about VBA, I suggest you post your question on a dedicated VBA forum. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
Here is a relevant link you can reference
