Built-in libcurl equivalent

Hi
In PHP, if I wanted to login into some site via HTML, I would use cURL functions which are built-in when compiling PHP.
Is there an equivalent in Java ? Built-in API for URL processing ? Any libcurl equivalent by Sun ?
Thanks

LOL ! But when requiring complicated tasks like storing cookie information, cURL can handle it by specifying a filename and the next time I call cURL again, it can retrieve info from the cookie.
Nothing done on the programmer's part.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookie.txt");Does java.net.URL provide similar options, or do we need to parse some data on our own ?

Table Data Editor in 10g

Does 10g have a built-in, direct equivalent to the Table Data Editor function that was present in 9i?

Right, that's the tool I'm using - the EM Console - or at least I'm pretty sure. Let me confirm what I'm doing. I load the page using http://mycomputername:5500/em. I'm logging in as the SYSDBA. Up at the top of the page, it shows the words "Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g", below that the words "Database Control", over on the right a tab that says "Database". Various categories in the main body of the page, such as General, Host CPU, Active Sessions, SQL Response Time, Diagnostic Summary, etc...
Is this the EM Console? Am I in the right place?
So, I'm on that page, and I've gone through everything a zillion times, and if the Table Data Editor is available on this tool, then I'm just blind, because I can't find it. I can click 'Administration', then 'Tables' (under Schema/Database Objects) and display all of the table names (I'm using the SCOTT schema). I select the EMP table, because I see that it has 14 rows, so I know there's some data there.
If I click on either the table name link or the VIEW button, I see the table definition, no data. If I click EDIT, I can change the table structure, no data. If I select 'View Data' from the 'Actions' drop-down box, I can see, but not edit, the data in the table.
Where, oh where, is the link or menu selection that gets me to the 10g equivalent of the Table Data Editor, if it exists?

IPS Speed & Duplex settings

I have a 4240 inline between an ASA and a Switch, and am experiencing errors on the switch indicating receive discards.
The devices are directly connected like this, ASA --- IPS --- SWITCH. The ASA and Switch have the speed/duplex fixed to 100/Full, but the IPS is auto negotiate. Both ports have negotiated to 100/Half, which I believe is causing the issue (open to alternative suggestions) however if I change to fixed parameters I loose connectivity. How should these connections be configured to remove the errors?

Network Interfaces do not support fixed configuration of speed and duplex on one device and auto negotiate on the other device.
The device set to auto negotiate will send out negotiation queries to the other device, but because the other device is fixed it will not respond to the queries. The devices with the fixed speed and duplex does Not respond with the fixed speed and duplex, and instead just simply does not respond at all to the auto negotiation queries.
So the device with auto negotiation is not able to determine the settings for the other device, and will set it's own speed and duplex to the default settings for that NIC. On most 10/100 and 10/100/1000 copper interfaces the default will be 100 Half Duplex.
So for auto negotiation to work properly you Must set Both devices to auto negotions.
If you will fix speed and duplex on one device, then you must also fix speed and duplex on the other device.
The other thing to keep in mind is the type of cable connecting the 2 devices.
For 10/100 interfaces you have to be very carefull of the type of cable being used. When connecting the sensor to a switch it must be a standard cable. BUT when connecting the sensor to a Firewall, Router, or PC, then it likely needs to be a CrossOver cable. (The switch has built in the equivalent of crossover directly within its ports, but firewalls, routers, etc... generally do not)
If you are using 10/100/1000 interfaces on both devices, and have both devices set to auto negotiate; then in most cases the type of cable will not matter. When auto negotiate begins they will determine the cable type and one of the 2 will automatically do a sort of internal crossover if needed, and will then auto negotiate to 1000 Full.
HOWEVER, if you fix the speed and duplex then just like with 10/100 interfaces you have to be very carefull that you are using the right type of cable. There will not be any negotiation and so your cable choice must be very specific. In most instances you will need to use a crossover cable when connecting the sensor to a Firewall or Router, but use a standard cable when connecting to a switch.
So be sure to set speed and duplex the same on both devices. Either both devices with fixed speed and duplex, or both devices with auto negotiated speed and duplex.
And be sure you are suing the right type of cable for your particular connections.

Equivalent Sql function for Forms NAME_IN() built in

Please let me know, is there any equivalent Sql function equivalent to Forms Name_in() built in. Thanks.

What would such a function do in pure SQL? Or are you asking if you can refer to Forms variables in SQL that you issue from Forms?
The answer to the first question I will delay until you define what it is that you want to do. The answer to the second question is that there is no way to do that. The database has no way of knowing how to resolve references to variables defined in client side PLSQL.

F4 Equivalent Built in

Dear Friends
We can cancle Enter_query_mode by pressing F4
. but I wants that when I press a button then same goal achive like F4.
pls tell me about that buil in that can do same.
with Regards
Siddharth Singh

The built-in used to cancel a query is EXIT_FORM. If you want to cancel a query from a button, check to be sure the form is in Enter Query mode by using code like the following:
if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
EXIT_FORM;
end if;

Equivalent of to_date function in Ms SQL and using it in Evaluate function

Hi,
I am trying to find out a function in MS SQL which is equivalent to to_date function in oracle. Please find below the advanced filter i am trying to use in OBIEE.
Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date ,SUBSTRING(TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_NAME FROM 1 FOR 3)||'-'||cast(TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR as char(4)),'MON-YYYY')>=Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date,'@{pv_mth}'||'@{pv_yr}','MON-YYYY') and Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date ,SUBSTRING(TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_NAME FROM 1 FOR 3)||'-'||cast(TIMES.CALENDAR_YEAR as char(4)),'MON-YYYY') <=timestampadd(sql_tsi_month,4,Evaluate('to_date(%1,%2)' as date,'@{pv_mth}'||'@{pv_yr}','MON-YYYY'))
The statement above works fines with oracle DB with to_date function. The same statement throws an error with MS SQL since to_date is not a built in function.
With MS SQL I tried with CAST, not sure how to pass parameters %1 and %2.
Please help me how to use Evaluate function and passing parameters along with to_date funtion in MS SQL.
Regards!

Any third party apps to highlight words on Mac as they're read by the built in Text-to-Speech?

Hello everyone,
I want to use my Mac to it's full potential! And I believe this is the community that can help. Is there a way for my mac to highlight the words which are read by the built in text-to-speech voices?
I really love the VoiceDream application for the iPad, and I'm looking for an equivalent or isotope of similar features on the Mac.
The answers to this question can benefit:
1.) People who have trouble reading without voice-over.
2.) Foreign language learners who want to follow along as the text is being read.
3.) People who have difficulty focusing while they read.
If you know of any amalgamation of solutions to this problem, I will really appreciate it! I am currently experimenting with using text-to speech as a way to read my textbooks for better comprehension and to remember more information. I really don't want to move to the VoiceDream app because everything is centralized on my Mac, and I like the variety of voices already available for free on the Mac.
I recently got my MacBook Air mid-2014 Model with OSX 10.9.4 installed, so this is what I'm working with.
As a last resort, if there is a solution that will work on a Windows computer, I can install Parallel Desktop to take advantage of an application if it has a comprehensive solution that would make it worth it to install that platform.
The perfect solution would really be if there was a Mac version of VoiceDream Reader, but seeing as there isn't, I would love to find out how I can make due with what is out there, or maybe even petition some software developers to create a solution to this problem that would enhance the study-toolbox of students and life-long learners.
Thank-you for any answers. I appreciate the community vibe!

I accidentally deleted the built-in Maps app from my iPhone 4s. How can I get it back?

I'm not sure how I managed to delete it, since I thought built-in apps couldn't be deleted. It's also missing now on iTunes so I'm at a loss as to how to get it back. Tried shutting down and restarting but that didn't work.

You can not delete built-in Apps. You must have accidentally moved it into another folder.
Try the following...
Try searching for it using Spotlight.
Try a reset. Press and hold the Sleep and Home buttons for about ten seconds, ignore the red slider, until the Apple logo appears then release. This is the equivalent of a re-boot. You will not lose any data.
Try resetting the Home Screen Layout

HDD Health: How to check it? HD Tune Pro equivalent for Mac?

hi all, i was just wondering if there's a Mac equivalent for HD Tune Pro. it's a Windows app i use to check for errors on hard drives. i want to check if an externall 1TB HDD has any bad sectors on it before i use time machine to backup my work. i want something that'll check for any small error -- i don't want something that'll just do a basic scan.
thank you

DiskUtility, DiskWarrior, TechTools, Genius, etc. etc. just do a google search. Most are paid apps except DiskUtility which is already built in and can be accessed from your reinstall partition. I personally don't bother with any except DiskUtility, but do keep a copy of DiskWarrior on hand just in case.
Developers will convince you that you need all sorts of programs to check and repair most often manufactured disc ailments, but if you are one of those happy to pay, then that is your choice.

How to parse a string in CVP 7.0(1). Is there a built-in java class, other?

Hi,
I need to parse,in CVP 7.0(1), the BAAccountNumber variable passed by the ICM dialer. Is there a built-in java class or other function that would help me do this?
Our BAAccountNumber variable looks something like this: 321|XXX12345678|1901|M. In IP IVR I use the "Get ICM Data" object to read the BAAccountNumber variable from ICM and then I use the "token index" feature to parse the variable (picture below).
Alternately, IP IVR also has a Java class that allows me to do this; the class is "java.lang.String" and the method is "public int indexOf(String,int)"
Is there something equivalent in CVP 7.0(1)?
thanks

Built-In iSight Very Slow

I just bought and turned on my new 12-core Mac Pro, and the built-in iSight is running very slowly--that is, at a very low frame rate. I'm testing it in Photobooth, but also runs slowly in other applications. And I'm pretty sure it's not just the display frame rate because the flash that Photobooth uses when it takes a photo sometimes doesn't sync up with the photo is takes.
And no, I don't have a thousand apps running. And yes, I did try restarting my computer.

aoisenshi9 wrote:
Bright and early, tested my iSight, and it's still running at a slow frame rate!
And it's not just displaying slowly, it's also capturing video very slowly. Might my 27" LED Cinema Display be bad...? They're still very new, so maybe there haven't been enough people to use them to have a large enough sample size?
Hmm... Really hoping the display isn't bad...
(1) Unless your Mac itself has problems, what is being played back will always be exactly what is recorded. If other apps are working slowly or unreliably, too, here are some things you can and SHOULD consider:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8750.html
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/21245.html
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8492.html
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27988.html
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3258
Also, make sure you have plenty of free space on your startup disk (I keep 50-75%, but 25% should be more than enough) to give OS X the headroom it needs to work efficiently.
(2) If you are using FileVault, turn it off and see if that resolves your problem:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8727.html
(3) How slow is "very slow"? Using the iSight built into my 24"&nbps;LED&nbpsdisplay, Photo Booth only captures 14-20fps for me depending on light.
According to Apple's http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27044.html Photo Booth is used to create silly and fun video effects, so do not expect it to be a robust and highly configurable or controllable application.
Did you try other apps like iMovie and QuickTimeX? Have you tested other user accounts?
(4) Because your display's iSight connects via USB, it may be sharing bandwidth with other connected USB devices. Disconnect all other USB cables while you test to determine whether that makes a significant difference. Also, test connecting your monitor's USB input to a different USB port on your Mac.
(5) Best quality video requires *_much more light_* than most of us consider normal room lighting. Unless you use the equivalent of full sunlight, you will likely not see the maximum 30fps regardless of which software you use.
Use BRIGHT light, and make a test recording with QuickTimeX. Then play both that test and one of your "slow" Photo Booth videos back with QTX to determine whether the frame rate of the QT recorded file is different from those recorded in Photo Booth.
(6) If your frame rates are below fifteen in bright light, consider the troubleshooting suggestions beginning on page 15 of the User's Guide manual that came with your LED display.
(7) If all else fails, contact an Apple-Authorised Service Provider for professional help.

ASCII equivalent of CF's URLDecode?

Hello, everyone.
Even though I've been working with CF for over a decade, this is going to sound like a total n00b question. I'm just drawing a blank, right now. Google isn't much help.
Is there an ASCII equivalent of URLDecode??
Where I work, everything that is inserted into a database goes through a filter that changes certain characters to their ASCII equivalent (ie, the less than "<" is altered to "<"). For displaying the data, I need to revert the < back to < for formatting (there are <br /> in place of line breaks, in the data.)
If not, I suppose I should check cflib to see if there is a UDF. Hmm..
Respectfully,
^_^

Well, first, that's not ASCII encoding, that's HTML Entity Encoding.
Second, no. There is not a built-in function for decoding HTML entities. The purpose of the function is to use it when displaying output to the screen, not to use it before sotring data for later use.
Obviously that doesn't help since you already have a system that encodes before putting data into the DB. So you need a way to decode it.
If you are using CF8 or CF9, with all of the security hotfixes installed, or you are using CF10, then you'll have ESAPI available to you via Java integration. ESAPI is a security tool from OWASP with built-in encoders and decoders. You can use those. Here is how.
<cfoutput>
          <cfset string = "<hi>" />
          <cfset list = createObject("java", "java.util.ArrayList") />
          <cfset htmlCodec = createObject("java", "org.owasp.esapi.codecs.HTMLEntityCodec") />
          <cfset list.add(htmlCodec) />
          <cfset encoder = createObject("java", "org.owasp.esapi.reference.DefaultEncoder").init(list) />
          #string#
          <br />
          #encoder.decodeForHTML(string)#
</cfoutput>
Hope that helps.

Equivalent of SYSDATE function in SAP MDX

For scheduling a web intelligence report, we will have to build a logic in the report or universe to automatically refresh the report for last week or last month or last year as per the requirement.
For this, is any one aware of an MDX function equivalent to SYSDATE.
We cannot go for an SAP exit variable to implement this functionality as the condition would be applied transparently at universe level, which means any report built on this universe will run for a fixed period as defined in bex query. But the requirement is to be able to schedule the reports with different frequencies (weekly report should run for last week data,monthly report should run for last month data,yearly report should run for last year data).
Please let me know if my requirement is not clear.
I hope this post would be useful for many consultants.
Thank You.
Best Regards.

'([Measures].[0D_NETVLINV], TAIL(EXCEPT({[0CALMONTH].[LEVEL01].members}, {[0CALMONTH].[000000]}),1).item(0).item(0))'
SELECT
{[Measures].[Quantity Sold in Latest Month],[Measures].[Amount Sold in Latest Month]} ON columns,
{[0D_DIV].[LEVEL01].members} on rows

VI works in IDE, not after being built

This is going to be a little long, but I'm not sure I have a choice. I'm using Mark Yedinak's SNMP v1 driver in LV2014 32-bit to talk to a Dell G756N rack mounted power distribution unit (think fancy power strip). My code works just fine in the IDE, but causes the program to freeze after I have built it into an executable. I have no idea what is wrong. I built a simpler example VI intending to have an easy example project (Classy Talker.vi in the SNMP Talk project) of where the VI breaks down, but it seems to work even after being built into an .exe. I built the InitializePDU.vi (the one that works) in the SNMP Talk project by dragging the innards of the problem vi (InitializeEquipment.vi in the Dell Power Supply Testing project, this one doesn't work after being built), so they should be identical.
Using logs, I've been able to track which one is the problem vi. It's the Get snmp Item(s).vi in Mark's snmp communication.llb. Here is a picture of where it fails according to my LVLog.txt file:
To recap:
In the Dell Power Supply Testing project
The Data Collection Quick Shot.vi under "Main" calls Initialize All Equipment Data-Clock.vi. The Initialize All Equipment Data-Clock.vi is responsible for reading the Equipment Config.xml file and presenting the user with choices of equipment to use with the program. The .vi then uses a factory pattern to initialize chosen equipment. 5 of the equipment types work, but the Power Distribution Unit will not complete verification after being built into an executable (this is event 10, "PDU Verifiy), but works fine in the IDE. Using logs, the probelm occurs after the class is cast to the specific class in the InitializeEquipment.vi found under "Hardware\Power Distribution Unit\DellG756N\" when it call Mark Yedinak's Get snmp Item(s).vi from his snmp communications.llb.
The SNMP Talk project was created to be similar to the problem areas of the Dell Power Supply Testing project. I was hoping it would be a simpler example so that I could get help, but to my suprise it works just fine even after being built into an executable.
The Classy Talker.vi casts the GenericPDU class to the DellG756N class, and uses the InitializePDU.vi which is the equivalent to the problem vi InitializeEquipment.vi in the Dell Power Supply Testing project. It then just reads the manufacturer and part number from the supply, which is also done in the same manner as the InitializePDU.vi.
Any help on why one built executable work and the other does not would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
