Bulid multiple packages at once (in order) w/ makepkg

I have several folders copied over into my build dir. Now instead of going into each folder and building each package separately, I'd like to automate this in one command...
I can do this... but it seems like it could be done differently. Just an example:
bld="~/home/builds"
cd $bld
cd gcc && makepkg -s && cd ../firefox && makepkg -s && cd ../conky && makepkg -s && cd ../openbox && makepkg -s
Would there be an easier way...?
Not looking to run makepkg in parallel, just one after the other.

Thx... Its just been awhile since I had been writing any scripts ....
So, as you can see, for simply loops through whatever input it is given, until it runs out of input.

[SOLVED] Install multiple packages at once?

Arch linux has by far the best documentation I've seen at this point and while I've read through the ABS section and the PACBUILDER section, I've not seen what I'm looking for. Because of this, if its right in front of me, by all means, please point it out.
Here's what I'm looking to accomplish:
I'm running this on a simple notebook and I'm the only user so I don't really have any configurations that need be made on the fly later on, its pretty much just set it up the way I like it and that's that. When I run a clean install, afterwards, I perform most of the steps outlined in the wiki's beginner's installation guide such as:
install sudo, modify sudoers (using wheel group method)
install x
install nouveau and mesa
install synaptic
install dbus
etc, etc, you get the point.
Anyhow, instead of spending 2 hours (yes it takes me that long) typing pacman -S <package> to get everything installed and then spending the time to modify things like daemon array in rc.conf, etc... is there some way I can compile a set of packages to be installed together? for example, if I could package the above mentioned packages inside one package then just execute with pacman -U custompackage1.tar.gz that would be a good time saver especially if I reformat the hard disk and want to get everything back to my "base clean install" with all my base settings, programs, etc etc.
I really hope this makes sense and that I didn't botch up my description of what I want to achieve.
Thanks in advance!

The easiest would probably be to keep a list of packages you want to install, update the fresh system first and then pipe your packages into pacman like this
pacman -S $(<list)
You can back up your config files (just tar them with full path) but I wouldn't recommend overwriting them blindly, as depending on the config file things may be slightly different on other hardware or you could miss some change in upstream config (pacnew etc).

Same way you select multipl items anywhere else.
Hold ctrl and click the items you want.
If they are in consecutive order, click the 1st then Shift click the last.

when I excute the function I get the following error in the comuunicatin chanel monitoring : no paramter was found.
in the paramters in the adapter modules tab I just wrote the queue name
for example : ( its supposed to be a string )
RFC******************queueName************XBIO_0001
still the module doesnt reconzie it.
Is the code above will add the functionaly of Excatly once in Order to the RFC Sender Adatper ? whats wrong with the paramters ?

Exactly Once In Order ..in File adapter ???

Hi Xi friends..
in my file to idoc ..
i am getting files as wear*.xml .
i think , i have to use Exactly once in Order in Communication Channel to process multiple files in order starting with wear*.xml
if i select Exactly Once In Order..
i have to give Queue Name..
please tell me which queue name to be given here..
please tell me how to use this Exacly Once in Order option..
thanks and regards
Ram

Hi Ram,
The XI supports Synchronous and Asynchronous delivery; in XI terms, these
are described with a Quality of Service (QoS) descriptor. The XI supports
QoS Best Effort (BE), Exactly-once (EO), and Exactly-once-in-order (EOIO).
These are equivalent to RFC types Synchronous RFC (sRFC), Transactional
RFC (tRFC), and Queued RFC (qRFC), respectively.
EOIO (Exactly Once In Order):
Messages are delivered with the same queue names (supplied by the application) in the same sequence that they were sent from the sender system. Message processing is asynchronous in this case.
In the case of quality of service BE, an error occurs if more than one receiver is determined for a message. In the case of delivery types EO and EOIO, the message is copied correspondingly and sent to the individual receivers.

Split a large table into multiple packages - R3load/MIGMON

Hello,
We are in the process of reducing the export and import downtime for the UNICODE migration/Conversion.
In this process, we have identified couple of large tables which were taking long time to export and import by a single R3load process.
Step 1:> We ran the System Copy --> Export Preparation
Step 2:> System Copy --> Table Splitting Preparation
We have created a file with the large tables which are required to split into multiple packages and where able to create a total of 3 WHR files for the following table under DATA directory of main EXPORT directory.
SplitTables.txt (Name of the file used in the SAPINST)
CATF%2
E071%2
Which means, we would like each of the above large tables to be exported using 2 R3load processes.
Step 3:> System Copy --> Database and Central Instance Export
During the SAPInst process at Split STR files screen , we have selected the option 'Split Predefined Tables' and select the file which has predefined tables.
Filename: SplitTable.txt
CATF
E071
When we started the export process, we haven't seen the above tables been processed by mutiple R3load processes.
They were exported by a Single R3load processes.
In the order_by.txt file, we have found the following entries...
order_by.txt----
# generated by SAPinst at: Sat Feb 24 08:33:39 GMT-0700 (Mountain
Standard Time) 2007
default package order: by name
CATF
D010TAB
DD03L
DOKCLU
E071
GLOSSARY
REPOSRC
SAP0000
SAPAPPL0_1
SAPAPPL0_2
We have selected a total of 20 parallel jobs.
Here my questions are:
a> what are we doing wrong here?
b> Is there a different way to specify/define a large table into multiple packages, so that they get exported by multiple R3load processes?
I really appreciate your response.
Thank you,
Nikee

Hi Haleem,
As for your queries are concerned -
1. With R3ta , you will split large tables using WHERE clause. WHR files get generated. If you have mentioned CDCLS%2 in the input file for table splitting, then it generates 2~3 WHR files CDCLS-1, CDCLS-2 & CDCLS-3 (depending upon WHERE conditions)
2. While using MIGMON ( for sequencial / parallel export-import process), you have the choice of Package Order in th e properties file.
E.g : For Import - In the import_monitor_cmd.properties, specify
Package order: name | size | file with package names
orderBy=/upgexp/SOURCE/pkg_imp_order.txt
And in the pkg_imp_txt, I have specified the import package order as
BSIS-7
CDCLS-3
SAPAPPL1_184
SAPAPPL1_72
CDCLS-2
SAPAPPL2_2
CDCLS-1
Similarly , you can specify the Export package order as well in the export properties file ...
I hope this clarifies your doubt

Error SocketChannel receive multiple messages at once?

Hello,
I use Java NIO, non blocking for my client-server program.
Everything works ok, until there are many clients that sending messages at the same time to the server.
The server can identify all the clients, and begin reading, but the reading of those multiple clients are always the same message.
For example, client A send "Message A", client B send "Missing Message", client C send "Another Missing Message" at the same time to the server, the server read client A send "Message A", client B send "Message A", client C send "Message A", only happen if the server trying to read all those messages at once, if the server read one by one, it's working perfectly.
What's wrong with my code?
This is on the server, reading the message:
private Selector               packetReader; // the selector to read client message
public void update(long elapsedTime) throws IOException {
if (packetReader.selectNow() > 0) {
    // message received
    Iterator packetIterator = packetReader.selectedKeys().iterator();
    while (packetIterator.hasNext()) {
      SelectionKey key = (SelectionKey) packetIterator.next();
      packetIterator.remove();
      // there is client sending message, looping until all clients message
      // fully read
      // construct packet
      TCPClient client = (TCPClient) key.attachment();
      try {
        client.read(); // IN HERE ALL THE CLIENTS READ THE SAME MESSAGES
           // if only one client send message, it's working, if there are multiple selector key, the message screwed
      } catch (IOException ex) {
//      ex.printStackTrace();
        removeClient(client); // something not right, kick this client
}On the client, I think this is the culprit :
private ByteBuffer            readBuffer; // the byte buffer
private SocketChannel client; // the client SocketChannel
protected synchronized void read() throws IOException {
readBuffer.clear();    // clear previous buffer
int bytesRead = client.read(readBuffer); // THIS ONE READ THE SAME MESSAGES, I think this is the culprit
if (bytesRead < 0) {
    throw new IOException("Reached end of stream");
} else if (bytesRead == 0) {
    return;
// write to storage (DataInputStream input field storage)
storage.write(readBuffer.array(), 0, bytesRead);
// in here the construction of the buffer to real message
}How could the next client read not from the beginning of the received message but to its actual message (client.read(readBuffer)), i'm thinking to use SocketChannel.read(ByteBuffer[] dsts, , int offset, int length) but don't know the offset, the length, and what's that for :(
Anyone networking gurus, please help...
Thank you very much.

Hello ejp, thanks for the reply.
(1) You can't assume that each read delivers an entire message.Yep I know about this, like I'm saying everything is okay when all the clients send the message not in the same time, but when the server tries to read client message at the same time, for example there are 3 clients message arrive at the same time and the server tries to read it, the server construct all the message exactly like the first message arrived.
This is the actual construction of the message, read the length of the packet first, then construct the message into DataInputStream, and read the message from it:
// packet stream reader
private DataInputStream input;
private NewPipedOutputStream storage;
private boolean     waitingForLength = true;
private int length;
protected synchronized void read() throws IOException {
readBuffer.clear(); // clear previous byte buffer
int bytesRead = client.read(readBuffer); // read how many bytes read
if (bytesRead < 0) {
    throw new IOException("Reached end of stream");
} else if (bytesRead == 0) {
    return;
// the bytes read is used to fill the byte buffer
storage.write(readBuffer.array(), 0, bytesRead);
// after read the packet
// this is the message construction
// write to byte buffer to input storage
// (this will write into DataInputStream)
storage.write(readBuffer.array(), 0, bytesRead);
// unpack the packet
while (input.available() > 0) {
    // unpack the byte length first
    if (waitingForLength) { // read the packet length first
      if (input.available() > 2) {
        length = input.readShort();
        waitingForLength = false;
      } else {
        // the length has not fully read
        break; // wait until the next read
    // construct the packet if the length already known
    } else {
      if (input.available() >= length) {
        // store the content to data
        byte[] data = new byte[length];
        input.readFully(data);
        // add to received packet
        addReceivedPacket(data);
     waitingForLength = true; // wait for another packet
      } else {
        // the content has not fully read
     break; // wait until next read
(2) You're sharing the same ByteBuffer between all your clients
so you're running some considerable risks if (1) doesn't happen.
I recommend you run a ByteBuffer per client and have a good look
at its API and the NIO examples.Yep, I already use one ByteBuffer per client, it's not shared among the clients, this is the class for each client:
private SocketChannel client; // socket channel per client
private ByteBuffer readBuffer; // byte buffer per client
private Selector packetReader; // the selector that is shared among all clients
private static final int BUFFER_SIZE = 10240; // default huge buffer size for reading
private void init() throws IOException {
storage; // the packet storage writer
input; // the actual packet input
readBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(BUFFER_SIZE); // the byte buffer is one per client
readBuffer.order(ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN);
client.configureBlocking(false);
client.socket().setTcpNoDelay(true);
// register packet reader
// one packetReader used by all clients
client.register(packetReader, SelectionKey.OP_READ, this);
}Cos the ByteBuffer is not shared, I think it's impossible that it mixed up with other clients, what I think is the SocketChannel client.read(ByteBuffer) that fill the byte buffer with the same packet?
So you're probably getting the data all mixed up - you'll probalby be seeing a new client message followed by whatever was there from the last time, or the time before.If the server not trying to read all the messages at the same time, it works fine, I think that if the client SocketChannel filled up with multiple client messages, the SocketChannel.read(...) only read the first client message.
Or am I doing something wrong, I could fasten the server read by removing the Thread.sleep(100); but I think that's not the good solution, since in NIO there should be time where the server need to read client multiple messages at once.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks again.

Selecting multiple lines in a sales order

Hello documentation says we should be able to select multiple lines in a sales order (for example to cancel them or remove them). Yet we cannot select more than one. Shift and Ctrl do not seem to work.
Any idea why this does not work ? We are running B1 2007A, patch 37.
Thanks a lot
Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,
if you have a sales order with hundreds of rows, use the 'Draw Document Wizard -> Customise' option to draw the required rows into the target document. Once all row data has been copied to the target, the row is greyed out in the sales order & can no longer be drawn. As long as the BP accepts partial deliveries, you may copy as much partial data to multiple target documents as necessary. Once you are finished with the sales order & there are rows still open, you may go to Data -> Close & hence close the entire document. There will be no need to delete the remaining rows.
All the best,
Kerstin

IMporting multiple albums at once: sort on date added AND album or artist

When importing multiple albums at once, iTunes ads them in the library in an all mixed up order.
This makes it very annoying to change song info. I have to multi-select songs from the same album (clicking while pressing the control button) and then change stuff.
1. Why can't iTunes automaticaly keep tracks from the same album together when adding new music from multiple albums?
2. Why can't we sort by added date AND another column like artist or album?
any solutions are very welcome
greetz

The order iTunes is showing the tracks can be changed. Select the album column heading to get tracks list in album order. Normally within an album the tracks will list in track order when viewing this way.

Posting multiple invoices against single purchase order line item

Hi,
We receive invoices on completion of certain milestones and Goods receipt is done when the final lot of material is delivered. For example the purchase order may be to deliver 1 quantity of Machine. Material is supplied in bits like Gear Box, Engine and body. Invoice is received when Gear Box, Engine is supplied. Final invoicing is received on completion of delivery (taking into account what has already been delivered)
Goods Receipt in SAP needs to be posted only once when complete machinery is delivered (the tracking for different parts delivered is done outside SAP). However, the multiple invoice needs to be posted in SAP referring to same PO item (Please note PO quantity for complete assembled material is only 1).
This needs to be treated as material and not service in SAP. Can you please suggest how to book multiple invoices for same purchase order line item?
Thanks

Hi Charan
Thanks for your reply. However, both the options are not feasible. Invoices can be received in different periods, sometimes over different months or years, hence needs to be booked immediately.
Also, i cannot create material master for each component as the quantity for the final material is only 1.
Any other alternatives?
regards
Sameer

How to show logic of picking multiple stores to fulfill an order line item

I'm still learning some basics with OPA.
How do I represent the logic of picking multiple stores to fulfill an order line item when no one store has the requested quantity? A concrete example would be greatly appreciated as I'm still thinking procedurally for solutions.

Hi!
I believe this is following on from the thread:
Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPA
So I'm assuming we're using a similar data model.
If we want to involve quantity as well as cheapest price, then I'm assuming the requirement is:
Find the cheapest price for the product from all the stores which still have quantity left of that product.
This is where inferred relationships come in handy.
Here is an example of what you can do with them to help solve this requirement.
the store is a member of the product's stores if
.ExistsScope(the store's prices)
..the price's product name = the product name
the store is a member of the product's stores with remaining stock if
.the store is a member of the product's stores and
..ExistsScope(the store's quantities)
...the quantity's product name = the product name and
...the quantity's amount > 0
Then we basically want to pick the cheapest price for the product from the members of the relationship "the product's stores with remaining stock"
Note that "the product's stores with remaining stock" could obviously be many instances, all with different prices. But for an order, a product needs to come from only one place! The deciding factor to "pinpoint" one place from this potential list of many could be based on anything, such as location, sales ranking, etc. But in this case Im going to assume lowest price is the decider.
In the previous post we created a simple relationship between "the product" and "the prices" (which are contained by the store).
We can make a more powerful relationship now:
the price is a member of the product's available prices if
ForScope(the price's store, the main store)
.the main store is a member of the product's stores with remaining stock
(I'm using an alias here to be 100% sure of which store is in scope)
Now we can use the rules in the previous post, but change the relationship to the more advanced one we just created:
the product's cheapest available price = InstanceMin(the product's available prices, the price's amount)
Then
the product's cheapest available store name = InstanceValueIf(the product's available prices, the price's store name, the price's amount = the product's cheapest available price)
This is all psuedo code so many need some slight tweaks when you put it into OPM. Make sure you set up the relationships in a property file and declare all the attributes etc.
Inferred relationships are really useful as "filters" sometimes. Here we first filtered all the stores which have prices for the product (i.e. have it in their catalogue). Then we filtered to get a list of all the stores which have stock remaining for the product. From that, we could find the cheapest available price.
This is by no means the only way to do it! It's also by no means a simple problem but the great thing about OPA is that you can put all of the relationship config rules in the system rule folder / word doc, meaning that the source / business rules can still look relatively simple (in the end, it only took 2 lines of source rules to find the cheapest available price!). Once you've got the right set up and invested time in designing your data model, you will find it much easier to solve seemingly complex problems across entities.
One word of warning though: if you have thousands of instances of prices, stores, products etc. then there is a performance impact of using many inferred relationships and alternatives should also be considered.
Hope this helps!
Feel free to contact me for more help on this. If you are relatively new to OPA and trying to tackle this you should consider investing in some training.
Cheers,
Ben

Loading/Placing multiple graphics in the correct order

Hi. This might be hard to understand but... On a Mac (OSX 10.5.5) when placing multiple graphics at once in InDesign CS3, is there a way to have the graphics loaded/placed in the same alpha-numeric order that they show up in an open folder window (sorted by name) in the Finder? They are in correct order in the finder window with the absolute value of the file number taken into account instead of the number of decimal places (for instance 8000 comes before 12000) but they seem to load up in the placement cursor by referencing the first digit instead. I know this has been how it's always worked, but Apple has fixed the dilemma. Is Adobe just behind in this idea? Is there a better way for me besides renaming all the files or placing them one by one? I just tried changing the links palette to "Sort by name" but they go into old school computer alpha-numeric order based on the first number unfortunately. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike

I don't have a real answer, but my "peanut gallery" comment is that alphabetizing has been eff'd up in OS X since 10.0 (Finder and other apps), and never works reliably in all instances. Though it has been fixed up "better" by now, 10.5.
Makes me long for the good old days of OS 9 where everything worked right.

Apply multiple effects at once in imovie hd?

i have applied multiple effects to a clip ("adjust color," "soft focus" "brightness and contrast" etc).
the effects in combination create a distinctive look which i would like to apply to a whole movie. but it takes a long time to apply each effect.
is there a way to copy or save a group of effects as a set, and then apply them all at once in order to save time?

how MUCH faster is FC for rendering effects?
Not any faster at all.
The difference is that you can apply them all within a few seconds and then have lunch (or whatever) while FCE renders ALL of them in sequence without further user interaction.

Tabular Form to insert multiple rows at once

Reading the forum I see I should use a tabular form to create an insert page to create multiple records at once. However is there a way to do this without loading records from the table so it will just be a plain create page?
Any help is appreciated, thank you

Hi Marc,
That tutorial was pretty useful. And I have it somewhat working.
Right now I have it auto displaying blank rows by default which is good and my collection is being created and everything. However, where I am having the problem now is updating the collection with the values from each field.
Here is my script I am using:
declare
c pls_integer := 0;
begin
for c1 in (
select seq_id from apex_collections
where collection_name = 'INSERT_BLANK'
order by seq_id)
loop
c := c+1;
if apex_collection.collection_exists(p_collection_name => 'INSERT_BLANK') then
for i in 1..apex_application.g_f01.count
loop
APEX_COLLECTION.UPDATE_MEMBER(
p_collection_name => 'INSERT_BLANK',
p_seq => c1.seq_id,
p_c001 => nvl(apex_application.g_f01(c),''),
p_c002 => nvl(apex_application.g_f02(c),''),
p_c003 => nvl(apex_application.g_f03(c),''),
p_c004 => nvl(apex_application.g_f04(c),''),
p_c005 => nvl(apex_application.g_f05(c),''),
p_c006 => nvl(apex_application.g_f06(c),''),
p_c007 => nvl(apex_application.g_f07(c),''));
end loop;
end if;
end loop;
end
I made a process On Submit Before Computation with this and another one that inserts the data in to the table:
for i in 1..apex_application.g_f01.count
loop
if apex_application.g_f02(i) is not null then
insert into pinfo_t
(id,
name,
start_date,
end_date,
value,
database_id,
host_id)
values
(apex_application.g_f02(i),
apex_application.g_f03(i),
apex_application.g_f04(i),
apex_application.g_f06(i),
apex_application.g_f07(i),
apex_application.g_f08(i),
apex_application.g_f09(i));
end if;
end loop;
It keeps coming back with "ORA-01403: no data found "
Any ideas?

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)?

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)? Currently each of us has our own iTunes account, so I've made an "all office" Apple ID. However, I can't seem to get two different accounts (my personal and the office) to work on my machine. Even when I login as "the office", my personal library is still showing. Additionally, when I try to setup with a first-time use in iTunes, I get an error that I don't meet the minimum age requirement - no matter what birthdate I enter!

The library exists regardless of which user is logged in.
The only way around that is to create different user accounts on the computer.
There is no way to have 20 unique iTunes users access a shared iTunes under a single login on the computer.
