Call for FIRST volunteers

Laura I think it would be a good suggestion to float this article to the top for all like the 64 bit beta article.
I nearly have overseen it under all those other ones and it was already on page 2 looking through the LV forum.

A Call for FIRST Volunteers

To the LabVIEW Developer Community,
Engineering innovations have conquered society’s challenges and changed our world for the better. As engineers, we should see the reports indicating a decrease in engineering enrollment in US schools as great cause for alarm.
We need to inspire and engage tomorrow’s potential engineers, and prepare them for a rigorous university education so that they are equipped to meet society’s grand challenges.
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a remarkable organization, which National Instruments proudly supports. I ask that you share your LabVIEW expertise with FIRST students at kick-off events in your communities on January 3, 2009.
FIRST is changing society’s perception of math and science achievement by celebrating it in the same way we celebrate achievement in athletics. FIRST tackles this goal through robotics competitions where primary and secondary students work in teams alongside professional engineering mentors. Students gain first-hand knowledge of how to solve engineering problems in a finite amount of time with limited resources.
This hands-on learning environment sparks students’ creativity and interest in engineering. FIRST students are more than three times as likely to major specifically in engineering, and more than twice as likely to expect to pursue a career in science and technology when compared to their peers.
Starting in 2009, students in the FIRST Robotics Competition will use NI LabVIEW and NI CompactRIO to build their 130-pound competition robots. We need the LabVIEW community to plug in and support these students’ efforts to learn LabVIEW and CompactRIO.
Specifically, you can help by:
   1- Presenting a LabVIEW training session at a FIRST kick-off event on January 3, 2009.
FIRST hosts kick-off events around the country; students will receive the challenge for 2009, and a kit containing CompactRIO and LabVIEW.  We will provide the training material, but would like a LabVIEW expert at each event!
Email [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) to learn more.
   2- Answering questions in the FIRST online discussion forums
Learn more>> (http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2623)
Please join us in our goal to inspire the engineers of tomorrow.
Regards,
Jeff Kodosky

CreateRowFromResultSet not called for first row

Hi all,
Jdev Version: 11.1.1.7.0
I have an XML stored in DB as a CLOB. I fetch this XML as a CLOB (using clobdomain) in my VO and need to populate a few other transient attributes. I attempted to achieve this by overriding (as per blog entry) method 'createRowFromResultSet'. I observe a weird behaviour where this method does not get invoked for the first row alone.
A while back, I see another member suffer from a similar issue - forum thread. Is this a bug that appears when using clob and overriding this method?
Thanks in advance,
Srini

Hi,
we have the same problem. The method createRowFromResultSet() is not called for the first row. We don't have a CLOB. We have a primary key of type Raw. Maybe this is causing the problem.
We are using JDev 11.1.1.6.

Linda

Person can hear me for first 10-15 sec of call, then nothing.

iPhone 3GS, I've had it about a week.
Person can hear me for first 10-15 sec of call, then nothing. I can still hear them just fine. Signal strengh is at full bars.
I had a 10minute conversation with a friend at about noon. Since then the only thing I have done is sync the phone adding about another 1GB of songs.
I used a pair of earbuds to listen to some music before I noticed the phone issue. I did some research and thought maybe it had something to do with the (seriously stupid) headphone switch and did the "insert and pull" of the iPhone 3GS headphones about 30 times now with no change. Making a call with the 3GS headphones has the same issue.
I'm leaving on a 3 day trip tomorrow morning and have to leave before my local Apple store opens. I've got a "call back" scheduled for first thing in the morning but hoping someone knows a way to fix it. Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

Update
Okay did a full restore and still getting some weirdness. Before I retored apps/music I just used the basic phone.
- As long as I make a call and hold it to my ear it works but getting a 2 second delay, I can seriously have a conversation with myself due to the delay. This wasn't happening before.
- If I pull the phone away, wait a few seconds then put it back there is about a 4-5 second delay before my voice can be heard again.
- Speaker phone isn't picking up my voice at all but if I pull the phone away without turning on speaker phone it picks up my voice perfectly.
Doing a full restore of apps/music now to see if it changes. UGH, seriously not what I needed before traveling.

4s microphone has always malfunctioned (people can't hear me) for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem?

4s microphone has malfunctioned on most outgoing calls for many months. People can't hear me for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s when Apple Store thought it was probably a hardware problem, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem??? I think so! [Possible] good news: for the past 2 days, since updating to 5.1.1, no one has reported problems hearing me!
I'm concerned Applecare folks did not admit to me that so many other 4s users also has malfunctioning mics.

Why would that even matter?
The device obviously has a hardware issue and is under warranty, take it to Apple for replacement and move on with life. No reason to make things difficult.

I just setup sync for the first time. Now everytime I load firefox a tab called "Your First Sync" will open, or it will load during an internet session...???

Just installed firefox sync on firefox 18.0...ran the first sync, and now whenever I load firefox, or in several minutes of continuing using firefox, a tab called "Your First Sync" appears...even after closing firefox or the tab. Wondering if I can get some support on this. Thanks

I hate to say - DISATISFIED WITH with CUSTOMER CARE RESPONSE and VERIZON in all for first time.

I am currently on National 900 plan on Motorola Droid. I switched from AT&T primarily because I love to use data on mobile. Verizon provided me the unlimited plan. I was a very happy customer with Verizon untill now.
Scenario -
Today, I called up Verizon customer care executive to see why bill for the month was not readjusted. Can anyone believe it its staggering $1137.73 [Roaming charges 1019.19].
Since this January, I am visiting to Canada. On first visit in January, I called up customer care to see what options I do have to use my phone in Canada as I use it in US. Verizon had a wonderful plan - just the monthly data plan is escalated appear. 30-40$ extra than the normal appear. 29.99$ plan. I happily added that plan before visiting Canada. While there is Canada, I did get notification couple of time that I am exceeding data limit but again checked with customer care later - they readjusted the bill as that was 'FALSE ALERT' as I was on unlimited data plan while roaming as well in Canada since I paid the additional prorated of (30-40$) for period of my stay there.
This equation worked for first and second visit - Unlimited Data while I used to get FALSE ALERT.
On my third visit , things changed - Verizon stopped providing the unlimited data services. I called up as usual before this visit. Customer care executive said - you are set to go to Canada now. I was not very specifically told on call that the rules have changed now and there is limit to data usage while roaming. During this visit also, I got the alerts - I assumed this was also a FALSE ALERT like prior one.
But this time, it was not FALSE ALERT, now I charged with this fee. I raised my concern and called up customer care appear. 10 day before [today is March 6th], they assured me that it is going to be re-adjusted ONLY for this time. And, they also asked to check account after 48 hours and if not readjusted please call. But, I checked my account today and it was not readjusted. So, I called up customer care executive for half an hour -- not willing to listen to any logic of mine and he said politely 'SIR, WE CANNOT READJUST YOUR BILL' . I am still trying to figure out where is my fault when I was not told DATA PLAN HAS CHANGED FROM THIS VISIT.
I hope senior management will look into this matter and re-adjust current bill. It's due this March 10th. I would appreciate any positive response prior to this so that I can pay the bill and BE A HAPPY VERIZON CUSTOMER.
Sincerely,
Manoj K. [removed personal information]

I called them back yesterday night, not willing to listen my story. Sir we sent you SMS notifications. But these notifications, I also got when I had unlimited plans on first and second visit. Then customer care told SIR you don't need to worry - but this time I should have been very specifically told rules are changed before changing my plans which I wasn't. I was under impression that I am on same unlimited plans.
A job not well done in COMMUNICATING TO CUSTOMERS and using that an opportunity to OVERCHARGE $1100 - INSANE for one month bill. None of my fault. SMS notification is no communication as earlier SMS noitification were false positive and bills were adjusted as I was on unlimited data plan.
Now you change the rules and send SMS Notification; RULE CHANGE, one is not aware of.. ANY NORMAL person will treat SMS notification as FALSE ALERT.. isn't it??

Cache and performance issue in browsing SSAS cube using Excel for first time

Hello Group Members,
I am facing a cache and performance issue for the first time, when I try to open a SSAS cube connection using Excel (using Data tab -> From Other Sources --> From Analysis Services) after daily cube refresh. In end users
system (8 GB RAM), for the first time, it takes 10 minutes to open the cube. From next run onwards, its open up quickly within 10 secs.
We have daily ETL process running in high end servers. The configuration of dedicated SSAS cube server is 8 core, 64GB RAM. In total we have 4 cubes - out of which for 3 is full cube refresh and 1 is incremental refresh. We have seen after
daily cube refresh, it takes 10 odd minutes to open the cube in end users system. From next time onwards, it opens up really fast with 10 secs. After cube refresh, in server systems (16 GB RAM), it takes 2 odd minutes to open the cube.
Is there, any way we could reduce the time taken for first attempt ?
Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

Thanks Richard and Charlie,
We have implemented the solution/suggestions in our DEV environment and we have seen a definite improvement. We are waiting this to be deployed in UAT environment to note down the actual performance and time improvement while browsing the cube for the
first time after daily cube refresh.
Guys,
This is what we have done:
We have 4 cube databases and each cube db has 1-8 cubes.
1. We are doing daily cube refresh using SQL jobs as follows:
<Batch xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine">
<Parallel>
<Process xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ddl2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine/2" xmlns:ddl2_2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine/2/2" xmlns:ddl100_100="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2008/engine/100/100" xmlns:ddl200="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2010/engine/200" xmlns:ddl200_200="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2010/engine/200/200">
<Object>
<DatabaseID>FINANCE CUBES</DatabaseID>
</Object>
<Type>ProcessFull</Type>
<WriteBackTableCreation>UseExisting</WriteBackTableCreation>
</Process>
</Parallel>
</Batch>
2. Next we are creating a separate SQL job (Cache Warming - Profitability Analysis) for cube cache warming for each single cube in each cube db like:
CREATE CACHE FOR [Profit Analysis] AS
{[Measures].members}
*[TIME].[FINANCIAL QUARTER].[FINANCIAL QUARTER]
3. Finally after each cube refresh step, we are creating a new step of type T-SQL where we are calling these individual steps:
EXEC dbo.sp_start_job N'Cache Warming - Profit Analysis';
GO
I will update the post after I receive the actual im[provement from UAT/ Production environment.
Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

Flat File-to-RFC question, multiple RFC calls for one file.

Hi guys,
I'm quite new to XI / PI and I have a question regarding a File-to-RFC scenario we're trying in NW PI 7.1.
We have a flat file which has two lines with two fields each, let's take this as an example :
001,001
002,002
The files needs to be converted to XML and then transferred to the RFC program which will update a table with the values above.
In the ESR I've created 3 data types (z_row1,z_record1 and z_fileinput1), 1 message type (z_file2rfc_ob_mt), 1 message mapping (z_file2rfc_mm), 2 Service Interface (z_file2rfc_ob_si and z_file2rfc_ib_ztestpi) and 1 operation mapping (z_file2rfc_om).
In the Integration Builder (ID) I've created everything required (The sender and receiver communication channels, sender and receiver agreement, receiver determination and interface mapping).
We're also using content conversion to convert the flat file to XML, this does seem to work because I see all the lines/field in the message when it gets into PI. The problem is that the RFC can only accept two fields at a time and only the first line gets updated. I see that only the first line gets sent to the RFC.
How can I make the RFC call for each and every line ?
Thanks !!

Create the RFC with table, which takes multiple lineitem as input and update the table in single call.
If you want response back then call RFC as synchrounous else in Asynchrounous mode.
By doing this in single call it will update the complete table.

How do I log a support call for Pages with Apple?

Hello,
Sorry to have to ask this question here because I suspect it has been covered and I'm searching wrong. Anyway I'm on the Apple support site trying to log a call for some erratic behaviour when Pages tries to sync with iCloud. It seems that no matter what I end up having to enter the serial number of my hardware. Well first off this is a software issue and not a hardware issue - I've been to the Genius Bar and they believe it is Pages failing to sync with the iCloud. I have had both the iPad and the iPhone replaced during the issue and still the same problem. Secondly I have two devices affected by the same Pages behaviour
Ok so after going around in circles for quite some time and becoming quite frustrated I thought I would come here for some sane suggestions. The first of which I fully expect to be an explanation of how to log a software support call Is there anyone out there who can advise me on how to log my issue please?
Many thanks in advance,
Andy

Do what you did before and, in a second session, look at V$SESSION and other relevant dynamic performance views.

Enable Video Call for Skype

I have just tried to do a video call to a Skype account, but the video doesn't show. I can't see my contact and they can't see me.
All i get is a square with an avatar in it. How do I enable video calls for Skype so that we can both see each other?
I do have the new firmware update too.

here you go.
be sure you are set up first:
open your contact that you want to call. be sure that it has a skype address already saved. it will look like this:
it will start to initiate the call. once picked up, then it will look like this. tap on the menu on top:
a drop down menu will show. inititiate the video ability:
then it will show horizontally split with the options on the right and thier picture or camera image on the left. tap on camera...after a few seconds, you will kick in. this will work n900-any pc, and n900-n900.....over wifi, and over the tmobile network.
hope that helped!

Why is VO getter not called for custom VO attributes?

Hi,
The requirement is to add couple of fields on a OAF page. Here is what I did:
- Created custom VO by extending the standard VO
- Added fields to the page via personalization.
The issue is that the values for the custom fields on the page were not showing up. On investigation, I found the VORowImpl getter getAttrInvokeAccessor was not being called for my custom attribute. I tried to check the difference between the attributes for which the getter was called and for which it was not called. I couldn't find any and I'm totally left clueless as to what determines the getter to be called.
Really appreciate your help to move ahead.
Thanks,
Anil
Edited by: AnilMenta on Mar 5, 2013 10:40 AM

Hi Anil,
First of all, Could you please make sure that Extended VO is being picked up during the execution of the page . Ensure that extended VO is substituted
If the VO is substituted then try Steps below
1. Enable the diagnostics .. show log on page statements
2. Search for your custom VO name .
If you can find your extended VO here, then substitution is right and page is picking up the extended VO.
Thanks

Hi
I am working with an ajax program.
In that i have defined a callback funtion
but that function is not being called for every readystatechange of the request object for the first request .
but it is working fine from the second request.
function find(start,number){
var nameField=document.getElementById("text1").value;
var starting=start;
var total=number;
if(form1.criteria[0].checked) {
http.open("GET", url + escape(nameField)+"&param2="+escape("exact")+"&param4="+escape(starting)+"&param5="+escape(number));
else if(form1.criteria[2].checked) {
http.open("GET", url + escape(nameField)+"&param2="+escape("prefix")+"&param4="+escape(starting)+"&param5="+escape(number));
http.onreadystatechange = callback2;
http.send(null);
function callback2(){
if (http.readyState == 4) {//request state

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
OASIS Enterprise Key Management Infrastructure (EKMI) TC
Name
OASIS Enterprise Key Management Infrastructure (EKMI) TC
Statement of Purpose
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology has been around for more than a
decade, and many companies have adopted it to solve specific problems in the
area of public-key cryptography. Public-key cryptography has been embedded in
some of the most popular tools -- web clients and servers, VPN clients and
servers, mail user agents, office productivity tools and many industry-specific
applications -- and underlies many mission-critical environments today.
Additionally, there are many commercial and open-source implementations of PKI
software products available in the market today. However, many companies across
the world have recognized that PKI by itself, is not a solution.
There is also the perception that most standards in PKI have already been
established by ISO and the PKIX (IETF), and most companies are in
operations-mode with their PKIs -- just using it, and adopting it to other
business uses within their organizations. Consequently, there is not much left
to architect and design in the PKI community.
Simultaneously, there is a new interest on the part of many companies in the
management of symmetric keys used for encrypting sensitive data in their
computing infrastructure. While symmetric keys have been traditionally managed
by applications doing their own encryption and decryption, there is no
architecture or protocol that provides for symmetric key management services
across applications, operating systems, databases, etc. While there are many
industry standards around protocols for the life-cycle management of asymmetric
(or public/private) keys -- PKCS10, PKCS7, CRMF, CMS, etc. -- however, there is
no standard that describes how applications may request similar life-cycle
services for symmetric keys, from a server and how public-key cryptography may
be used to provide such services.
Key management needs to be addressed by enterprises in its entirety -- for both
symmetric and asymmetric keys. While each type of technology will require
specific protocols, controls and management disciplines, there is sufficient
common ground in the discipline justifying the approach to look at
key-management as a whole, rather than in parts. Therefore, this TC will
address the following:
Scope
A) The TC will create use-case(s) that describe how and where
the protocols it intends to create, will be used;
B) The TC will define symmetric key management protocols,
including those for:
1. Requesting a new or existing symmetric key from a server;
2. Requesting policy information from a server related to caching of keys on the
client;
3. Sending a symmetric key to a requestor, based on a request;
4. Sending policy information to a requestor, based on a request;
5. Other protocol pairs as deemed necessary.
C) To ensure cross-implementation interoperability, the TC will create a test
suite (as described under 'Deliverables' below) that will allow different
implementations of this protocol to be certified against the OASIS standard
(when ratified);
D) The TC will provide guidance on how a symmetric key-management infrastructure
may be secured using asymmetric keys, using secure and generally accepted
practices;
E) Where appropriate, and in conjunction with other standards organizations that
focus on disciplines outside the purview of OASIS, the TC will provide input on
how such enterprise key-management infrastructures may be managed, operated and
audited;
F) The TC may conduct other activities that educate users about, and promote,
securing sensitive data with appropriate cryptography, and the use of proper
key-management techniques and disciplines to ensure appropriate protection of
the infrastructure.
List of Deliverables
1. XSchema Definitions (XSD) of the request and response protocols (by August
2007) 2. A Test Suite of conformance clauses and sample transmitted keys and
content that allows for clients and servers to be tested for conformance to the
defined protocol (by December 2007)
3. Documentation that explains the communication protocol (by August 2007)
4. Documentation that provides guidelines for how an EKMI may be built,
operated, secured and audited (by December 2007)
5. Resources that promote enterprise-level key-management: white papers,
seminars, samples, and information for developer and public use. (beginning
August 2007, continuing at least through 2008)
Anticipated Audiences:
Any company or organization that has a need for managing cryptographic keys
across applications, databases, operating systems and devices, yet desires
centralized policy-driven management of all cryptographic keys in the
enterprise. Retail, health-care, government, education, finance - every industry
has a need to protect the confidentiality of sensitive data. The TC's
deliverables will provide an industry standard for protecting sensitive
information across these, and other, industries.
Security services vendors and integrators should be able to fulfill their use
cases with the TC's key management methodologies.
Members of the OASIS PKI TC should be very interested in this new TC, since the
goals of this TC potentially may fulfill some of the goals in the charter of the
PKI TC.
Language:
English
IPR Policy:
Royalty Free on Limited Terms under the OASIS IPR Policy
Additional Non-normative information regarding the start-up of the TC:
a. Identification of similar or applicable work:
The proposers are unaware of any similar work being carried on in this exact
area. However, this TC intends to leverage the products of, and seek liaison
with, a number of other existing projects that may interoperate with or provide
functionality to the EKMI TC's planned outputs, including:
OASIS Web Services Security TC
OASIS Web Services Trust TC
W3C XMLSignature and XMLEncryption protocols and working group
OASIS Digital Signature Services TC
OASIS Public Key Infrastructure TC
OASIS XACML TC (and other methods for providing granular access-control
permissions that may be consumed or enforced by symmetic key management)
b. Anticipated contributions:
StrongAuth, Inc. anticipates providing a draft proposal for the EKMI protocol,
at the inception of the TC. The current draft can be viewed at:
http://www.strongkey.org/resources/documentation/misc/skcl-sks-protocol.html
and a working implementation of this protocol is available at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/strongkey for interested parties.
c. Proposed working title and acronym for specification:

change.
d. Date, time, and location of the first meeting:
First meeting will be by teleconference at:
Date: January 16, 2007
Time: 10 AM PST, 1PM EST
Call in details: to be posted to TC list
StrongAuth has agreed to host this meeting.
e. Projected meeting schedule:

Missing Some Fonts Called For in Apple Pro Training Serries FCS 2 Book

I am currently working my way through Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Studio 2 by Mark Spencer and Jem Schofield in the Apple Pro Training Series. Twice I have encountered cases where I am unable to find the font called for in the book. One case was Helvetica neue (I substituted Helvetica) and the second instance in which the Herculanum font is called for. I am surprised that books in this series would use fonts that do not seem to be on my computer. I am using OS 10.4.10 with all updates and similarly for FCS 2. I feel I may be missing something here, i.e. perhaps the fonts really are somewhere on my system and are just not accessible to FCS 2. Is that possible? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Hanumang and All,
Thank you for your help. Let me bring this to closure by explaining what I found on investigating this issue and what I did to resolve it and obtain the fonts.
On the basis of your confirmation that these fonts should have been on my iMac, I called Apple Support. I spent the usual hour on line with them and went through two support people only to learn that the only way to get these fonts back into my OS X Library/Fonts folder (without having a second Mac computer) was to reinstall the operating system. It is remarkable to me that one cannot simply get the fonts off the Apple Installation disk, but it cannot be done since they are installed as part of the OS X installation and are not in a separate directory or folder on the installation disk.
I set out to do an Archive and Install with Preserve User Settings carefully checked. About one third of the way through the Archive and Install process the process hung and failed to move forward for more than an hour. I finally ended the installation process and attempted to run it again which it would not allow me to do as the Archive and Install process was now grayed out. I had no choice but to run an Erase and Install process to get a clean version of OS X on my system.
Once I had the clean version of OS X on the system, I used Font Book to check for Helvetica neue and Herculanum fonts and they were now there. I then copied all of the fonts in Library/Fonts from this vrigin install of OS X to an external drive. I back up my iMac every night automatically using Retrospect so I was now able to do a full restore of my Mac HD using Retrospect. Of course, once I had done that the fonts were missing again, but I just copied all the fonts from the external HD copy into the Library Fonts folder on my Mac HD, and all was well -- some 7 hours after starting this process.
You know, as someone who has recently bought their first Mac computer in 24 years, I would have to say that I am very disappointed in certain aspects of OS X. It takes an excessively long time to reinstall OS X compared to Windows XP with which I am very familiar. The Archive and Install feature of OS X has not worked for me on the two occasions where I have tried to use it and I truly miss the REstore feature of Windows XP.
I love Apple Professional level software like FCS 2 and Aperture, but I am not a fan of OS X. My hope is that Leopard with Time Machine and other new features will address some of the problems with OS X.
