Can someone explain the following: SID, Instance, Global Database Name?

Im new to Oracle8i and Im getting confused about certain Oracle terms.
1) What is the difference between an SID and a Database Instance?
2) Oracle says a Global Database Name includes: db_name.domain_name. What is the difference between the db_name and the name of the Database Instance?
Thanks, Andrew

Can Someone explain the following statement in GSS Documentation

I found the following statement in some GSS manual. Does it means that the GSS's should never be put behing NAT devices?
" It should be noted up front that communication between the GSS-M to GSS Standby (GSS-S) and GSS-M to GSSs cannot be NATed by any intermediate device. The reason for this is because the real IP addresses of the devices is embedded in the payload of the packets and the NATing device cannot properly NAT. "
Is it true?
Thanks
David

Yes this is true. What this means is that NAT will not work between GSS-M and GSS-S. So there should be no intermediate device between the two. If there is no NAT being used in the network, then there should be no problem.

Can someone verify the following regarding Find My Phone: I assume the lost device (iPhone) and the device (ipad) one is using to find the lost item must have the identical Apple ID, Apple PW, and iCloud PW and username? Otherwise it won't work?

Can someone verify the following regarding Find My Phone:
I assume the lost device (iPhone) and the device (ipad) one uses to find the lost item must have identical Apple IDs , PWs as well as identical iCloud identification?

Back now. Are you saying that you entered you iCloud ID and password in the Find My iPhone app (see photo below), and it said you don't have an iCloud account? Are you sure this is the ID for your iCloud account (check Settings>iCloud next to Account at the top on the device you are trying to track)?
Also, did you try using this ID and password on icloud.com on your computer to try to track it, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442? Did that work?

Can someone explain the hyperthreading settings in cmos (the 4x,5x, etc.)?

Can someone explain the hyperthreading setting in the CMOS Setup - mine is set to 5x, which I think is correct for my cpu - Venice 3500+, but I don't really know what it does. What does that setting affect? I think it was 4x by default, until I loaded optimal settings, and it went to 5x.....

HT = Hyper Transport
Q: What is HyperTransport™ technology?
A: HyperTransport™ technology is a new high speed, high performance point-to-point link for interconnecting integrated circuits on a motherboard. It can be significantly faster than a PCI bus for an equivalent number of pins. HyperTransport was previously codenamed Lightning Data Transport, or LDT. HyperTransport technology was invented by AMD and perfected with the help of several partners throughout the industry. It is primarily targeted for the IT and Telecomm industries, but any application where high speed, low latency and scalability is necessary can potentially take advantage of HyperTransport technology. HyperTransport technology was invented in order to unleash the tremendous power of the AMD microprocessors. HyperTransport is planned to bring the computation experience to a new level.
Hyperthreading Technology used by Intel.

Can someone explain the difference between width, maxWidth, explicitWidth, explicitMaxWidth?

Can someone explain the difference between width, maxWidth, explicitWidth, explicitMaxWidth of the UI component? I read the API and I have no idea what do they mean.

Width is the current width. ExplicitWidth is set if you give an component
an explicit width vs a temporary width via setActualSize.
MaxWidth and minWidth factor in either the measuredMax/MinWidth or one set
explicitly.

Apparently this UDF takes two optional parameters so that one
can define
(A) a text "qualifier" to use in the CSV file, this is
usually the
single quote|tick ['] mark - but sometimes one wants this to
be a
different character and (B) what columns to use in the
output in case
one does not want to use all the columns in the record set
in the
outputted CSV file.
The if statements are checking for these optional parameters
and if
found setting the values in them to internal variables.
These
variables are then used in the rest of the logic to create
the CSV output.

Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream. However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them. When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

Can we explain the following counter..FCP_SW_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO

Can we explain the following counter..FCP_SW_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO
We see it when looking for dropped packets on the ds-9248-256k9 port blades.

Hi,
FCP_SW_CNTR_RX_WT_AVG_B2B_ZERO is the average amount of times the RX buffer to buffer credits went to 0 on that interface. If you are seeing the counter increasing it could be because of a slow drain device in the fabric.

Can Someone Explain the order of things Using Swingworker?

Hi:
Can someone explain very clearly the order of things using Swingworker? Please do not refer the SUN tutorials. I am totally dead in the water with a very large application and the order of things is not sensible. Also, if the worker thread is too long, the GUI gets updated, but my progress bar (killed right after in the finished method) remains running in some instances only.
Can someone explain any debugging methods for thread work?
I am a veteran programmer of 19 years and this one's got me. The event dispatch thread returns immediate, the GUI responds well, but the progress bar setVisible(false); ... just after in the finished() method (on Event Dispatch thread) does not go away, continues running, only on very long (large query) work. I'm truly stumped. I have successful applications of the Swingworker use, the progress bar, and everything works fine. Not this one.
Debugging threads is what I need. Or some tool that visually shows threads as the program runs.
Thanks for any help,
PiratePete

Thanks. I guess I should count my blessings when using free stuff. But I have been impressed with what the J2SDK has to offer. I have been writing a complicated application that I am going to market and most of my problems have been "design" in nature.
Thanks again,
PiratePete

Can someone explain the code for having the Accordion panels closed?

I located the answer to my own question (how to get all the accordion panels to remain closed when the browser opens) but I still don't understand the answer. Can someone explain this?
This feature is only supported when using variable height panels, so you must pass a false into the Accordion's constructor for the "useFixedPanelHeights" constructor options, and a -1 for the "defaultPanel" option:
<script type="test/javascript">
var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion ("Acc1", { useFixPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1});
</script>

Hi Angela,
You are right, the only way it will work is by setting the fixed height to false. As for the for the default panel option, -1 is not a panel and if you had 3 panels we could have used the number 3 (panel1 = 0) or 99 or whatever as long as there is no panel with that number. If we had used the number 1 for instance, then the 2nd panel would be opened by default.
Hope this helps.

I have two standalone servers configured on this machine (development box), and therefore two CMS configured to listen on port numbers 16575 and 16525. These are confirmed by the 12th and penultimate line.
Question: Why are another two CMSs also appearing on ports 48300 and 46093 (lines 10 and 11)?
Secondly, I have registered the Desktop Intelligence servers to ports 16535 and 16585 (as shown in lines 5 and 19). They are spawning
child processes on ports 1025 and 1026.
Question: Can I fix the spawned child ports to a fixed range instead of them being selected randomly?

I solved the CMS problem - I hadn't changed the CMS request ports. D'OH! Below are the command lines for the two child processes. Is there any documentation around port number controls?

Can someone explain the tables tab under function parameter declaration ?

Hello,
when declaring a function, part of its parameter interface is the tables tab. So if in FUNCTION1 i declare a table: tdraw like draw (optional)
what does that mean ? does this mean that tdraw will be a table of type draw and at the same time it will be filled up with the same contents as draw has ?
then how can other function (func2) use FUNCTION1 and its table ?
so if inside func2 i also have an internal table AA like draw :
so inside func2 i say:
call function1
tables:tdraw = AA
does this mean that it will assign the result tdraw table of function1 to AA ?
can someone explain details of internal tables and passing them as parameters ?
and which table is assigned to which ?
thank you

Hi hassan,
If you are talking about the tables parameter in SE37, when you declare a table tdraw like draw it only means you are declaring an internal table of type draw but the contents are not filled into it.
In the source code of the program you have to write the code to fetch the data to tdraw and do the manipulations accordingly.
Also, the tables you are declaring can be like the input table or can be used for output table.
suppose u have 2 tables tab1 and tab2, tab1 you are going to input the values to it and the calculated values have to be in another table, you can use tab2 as the result table.
hope it helps.
award points if it helps.
