Car stereo adapter from one generation to another (or two!)
Someone please help! I have an integrated car stereo connector (that might be 1g or 3g!!!) and when I plug in my 2g iPod touch or iPhone 4S neither are recognised by it!! Does anyone know what adapter I'd need please? If I can't find one that can be used for both the iPod and iPhone I'd rather be able to connect just the iPod touch to it. Is there, for example, a univeral one anyone knows of, or one that has many different heads to it so I can chop and change?
Natively in Premiere, no.
There are some commercial plugins that can match the coloring of two clips (such as RE:Match), or you could try the Shot Matching tool in Speedgrade CC (use it to create a .look file that defines the color shifts, then apply that to your footage in Premiere Pro CC using the Lumetri effect).

How do I transfer itunes from one library to another on two different PC's?
I have an ipod mini and have an itunes library on my home pc as well as my work pc. How can I transfer itunes from one to the other and keep them in synch?
There is no simple way to do it, as itunes wont let you use it on another computer without wiping the contents first.
However if you really want to transfer songs to another computer then you could try this;
* make sure that your ipod is accessible as a disk drive (ipod options)
* when you plug your ipod into the computer you want to transfer to make sure you select "no" or "cancel" when it asks to wipe the contents. Leave the ipod connected and quit from itunes.
* go to "my computer" and access the ipod directly. You probably have to select "view hidden files" from windows. You will see a lot of folders with odd names like ZX838aff with similar named files inside.
* copy these files to a folder on your computers hardrive. Now remove the ipod and start itunes.
* import the files from the folder you made in the last step.
* Now your music is on itunes, but with unrecogisable names.
This is the only way I have found to do it, but there may be another way, say with an application to do the hard work for you.

How can I copy songs from one iPod to another?
I received a new iPod Classic (last generation) and I'm trying to transfer my songs from my old iPod Nano (also last generation).
My iTunes library is also split up between my two parent's houses and I only have half the songs on my Nano in this computer's library.
Is there a way to copy only the songs on the +iPod Nano+ (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?*Is there a way to copy only the songs on the iPod Nano (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?*
You can't copy directly from one iPod to another, you have to copy the songs back to iTunes and update the new iPod from there. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

YamiPod Mac and Windows

There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod -
Adding multiple same-name nodes from one xml into another
Hi,
Following on from my question the other day (Adding multiple different nodes from one xmltype into another), I now have a slightly more complex requirement that I cannot work out where to start, assuming that it's something that can reuse some/all of yesterday's work (thanks again, odie_63!). ETA: I'm on 11.2.0.3
So, here's the (slightly amended) xml along with yesterday's solution:
with sample_data as (select xmltype('<root>
<xmlnode>
<subnode1>val1</subnode1>
<subnode2>val2</subnode2>
</xmlnode>
<xmlnode>
<subnode1>val3</subnode1>
<subnode2>val4</subnode2>
</xmlnode>
</root>') xml_to_update,
xmltype('<a>

<c>valc</c>
<d>
<d1>vald1</d1>
<d2>vald2</d2>
</d>

<g1>valg1</g1>
<g2>valg2</g2>
</g>

<h2>valh2</h2>

</multinode>
<multinode>
<name>bob</name>
<type>car</type>
<head>0</head>
</multinode>
</a>') xml_to_extract_from
from dual)
select xmlserialize(document
xmlquery(
'copy $d := $old
modify (
insert node element extrainfo {
$new/a/b
, $new/a/d
, $new/a/f
, $new/a/h
} as first into $d/root
return $d'
passing sd.xml_to_update as "old"
, sd.xml_to_extract_from as "new"
returning content
indent
from sample_data sd;
That gives me:
<root>
<extrainfo>
<b>valb</b>
<d>
<d1>vald1</d1>
<d2>vald2</d2>
</d>
<f>valf</f>
<h>
<h1>valh1</h1>
<h2>valh2</h2>
</h>
</extrainfo>
<xmlnode>

<subnode2>val2</subnode2>
</xmlnode>
<xmlnode>
<subnode1>val3</subnode1>
<subnode2>val4</subnode2>
</xmlnode>
</root>
However, I now need to add in a set of new nodes based on information from the <multinode> nodes, something like:
<root>
<extrainfo>
<b>valb</b>
<d>
<d1>vald1</d1>
<d2>vald2</d2>
</d>
<f>valf</f>
<h>

</h>
<newnode>
<name>fred</name>
<type>book</type>
</newnode>
<newnode>
<name>bob</name>
<type>car</type>
</newnode>
</extrainfo>
<xmlnode>
<subnode1>val1</subnode1>
<subnode2>val2</subnode2>
<type>book</type>
</xmlnode>
<xmlnode>
<subnode1>val3</subnode1>
<subnode2>val4</subnode2>
<type>car</type>
</xmlnode>
</root>
If it's easier, I *think* we would be ok with something like:
<newnode>
<type name="fred">book</type>
<type name="bob">car</type>
</newnode>
The closest I've come is:
with sample_data as (select xmltype('<root>
<xmlnode>
<subnode1>val1</subnode1>
<subnode2>val2</subnode2>
</xmlnode>
<xmlnode>
<subnode1>val3</subnode1>
<subnode2>val4</subnode2>
</xmlnode>
</root>') xml_to_update,
xmltype('<a>
<b>valb</b>
<c>valc</c>
<d>
<d1>vald1</d1>
<d2>vald2</d2>

Which produces:

Can anyone provide any hints? I've tried searching for similar examples, but I mustn't be putting in the right search terms or something!odie_63 wrote:

So we're going with the second method, but I've discovered that the "$i/name" node is not always present. When that happens, I would like to use a default value (for example, "george"). I promise I've searched and searched, but I'm completely failing to turn up anything that sounds remotely like what I'm after (seriously, I can't believe my google-fu sucks this badly!).
Is there a simple way of doing it? The only thing that I've found that looks vaguely relevant is "declare default namespace...." but I'm not sure that that's the correct thing to use, or if it is, how I'm supposed to reference it when populating the attribute value. -
How can I using tpcall from one service to another service in the same server
When I using tpforward between two services in one server, it's working ok. However,
when I using tpcall from one service to another service, it's failed?
anybody can tell me why?
thanks

ok. However,
when I using tpcall from one service to another service, it's failed?
anybody can tell me why?Basically, tpcall:ing another service in the same server is a no-no, unless you
a) are running a multi-threaded server (requires TUXEDO 7 or newer + compilation
options) or
b) use tpacall() instead of tpcall() and specify the flag TPNOREPLY. This is probably
not what you want to accomplish, though.
The reason is that TUXEDO servers by default (and always in versions before 7)
are single-threaded. If service A and B both reside in server X, server X will
be busy taking care of the call to A. If A makes a call to B, the call will be
put on the queue to X, but X will not look at the queue until it is done with
A, which won't happen until B returns... deadlock!
You can play tricks with starting multiple instances of X, but in the end you
will always face a risk (something lika a race-condition) for a dead-lock.
Solution: Move service B to another server (usually quite easy) OR switch to multi-threading,
if that's possible. Just make sure all code your service calls is MT-safe as well...
thanks
georgeHope this helps you,

Move files from one folder to another
I am brand new to the application and have spent a ton of time googling various topics, but need some additional help. Seems easy enough, but I can't figure out how to do it...
I would like to move pics from one folder to another. I can drag files from one folder to another, but they still reside in the original folder as well. Is there a way to cut and paste or a similar function to accomplish this move?
Thanks.Hey, HawaiianHaole, as a multidecade Mac user, let me tell you, Aperture is about the worst example of Mac-iness one could imagine. Ironic, as it's (of course) made by Apple. But it is so inflexible, and insists so vociferously on making the user learn its peculiar interface conventions it reminds me most of something out of that famous company in Redmond.
Want your Projects in an order you choose? Sorry! Want to arrange your windows so you can see your list of chat buddies while you're working in Aperture? Nope, can't do it! Aging eyes have trouble reading tiny grey type on a grey background? Hey buddy, it was your choice to grow old, don't blame us!
But all is not lost. Aperture has gotten considerably better of late (versions up to 2.0 were fundamentally unusable in many ways) and will hopefully continue to improve. (ie Maybe they'll fix the printing thing...)
Please don't make Aperture the basis for your judgement of the Mac OS. Many long time Mac users are having as much trouble with Aperture as you. Mac OSX has significantly reduced customizability but at the benefit of much improved stability and indeed usability. Old school Mac users had to learn to accept this, which most did. You'll hear people talk about the "Way of the Steve". As irksome as Aperture can be, you'll actually have a better time of it if you adopt the Way of the Steve, and accept that you can't do things the way you might want to. This is imho antithetical to the original Mac many of us knew and loved, but it's the way things are today, so we mostly shut up and take it. You can fight with your software all day, or just accept that there are ways you have to adopt and adapt to them.
Welcome to the Bright Side, hope your Mac experience improves. -
How to transfer the progress of just one game from one iPad to another iPad
Hi everyone! When I purchased an iPad Air, I gave my old iPad 3 to a family member who kept one of my games and its progress, but changed every other App to suit his requirements. My iPad Air has all MY Apps, which are different to the ones on the iPad 3. Both iPads use my Apple account.
I want to somehow transfer the progress of just the one game from the iPad 3 to the iPad Air and I don't want to back up my iPad Air to be the same as his iPad 3, which I know will transfer the progress of the game, but it will also mean I will get a load of Apps I don't want and more importantly, lose all my Apps and the progress in all my games.
i.e. can I transfer one game and its progress from one iPad to another without altering/deleting/removing existing Apps on either iPad.
Phew ... hope the above makes some sort of sense to someone!!!

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

Passing a parameter from one class to another class in the same package
Hi.
I am trying to pass a parameter from one class to another class with in a package.And i am Getting the variable as null every time.In the code there is two classes.
i. BugWatcherAction.java
ii.BugWatcherRefreshAction.Java.
We have implemented caching in the front-end level.But according to the business logic we need to clear the cache and again have to access the database after some actions are happened.There are another class file called BugwatcherPortletContent.java.
So, we are dealing with three java files.The database interaction is taken care by the portletContent.java file.Below I am giving the code for the perticular function in the bugwatcherPortletContent.java:
==============================================================
public Object loadContent() throws Exception {
Hashtable htStore = new Hashtable();
JetspeedRunData rundata = this.getInputData();
String pId = this.getPorletId();
PortalLogger.logDebug(" in the portlet content: "+pId);
pId1=pId;//done by sraha
htStore.put("PortletId", pId);
htStore.put("BW_HOME_URL",CommonUtil.getMessage("BW.Home.Url"));
htStore.put("BW_BUGVIEW_URL",CommonUtil.getMessage("BW.BugView.Url"));
HttpServletRequest request = rundata.getRequest();
PortalLogger.logDebug(
"BugWatcherPortletContent:: build normal context");
HttpSession session = null;
int bugProfileId = 0;
Hashtable bugProfiles = null;
Hashtable bugData = null;
boolean fetchProfiles = false;
try {
session = request.getSession(true);
// Attempting to get the profiles from the session.
//If the profiles are not present in the session, then they would have to be
// obtained from the database.
bugProfiles = (Hashtable) session.getAttribute("Profiles");
//Getting the selected bug profile id.
String bugProfileIdObj = request.getParameter("bugProfile" + pId);
// Getting the logged in user
String userId = request.getRemoteUser();
if (bugProfiles == null) {
fetchProfiles = true;
if (bugProfileIdObj == null) {
// setting the bugprofile id as -1 indicates "all profiles" is selected
bugProfileIdObj =(String) session.getAttribute("bugProfileId" + pId);
if (bugProfileIdObj == null) {
bugProfileId = -1;
else {
bugProfileId = Integer.parseInt(bugProfileIdObj);
else {
bugProfileId = Integer.parseInt(bugProfileIdObj);
session.setAttribute(
("bugProfileId" + pId),
Integer.toString(bugProfileId));
//fetching the bug list
bugData =BugWatcherAPI.getbugList(userId, bugProfileId, fetchProfiles);
PortalLogger.logDebug("BugWatcherPortletContent:: got bug data");
if (bugData != null) {
Hashtable htProfiles = (Hashtable) bugData.get("Profiles");
} else {
htStore.put("NoProfiles", "Y");
} catch (CodedPortalException e) {
htStore.put("Error", CommonUtil.getErrMessage(e.getMessage()));
PortalLogger.logException
("BugWatcherPortletContent:: CodedPortalException!!",e);
} catch (Exception e) {
PortalLogger.logException(
"BugWatcherPortletContent::Generic Exception!!",e);
htStore.put( "Error",CommonUtil.getErrMessage(ErrorConstantsI.GET_BUGLIST_FAILED));
if (fetchProfiles) {
bugProfiles = (Hashtable) bugData.get("Profiles");
session.setAttribute("Profiles", bugProfiles);
// putting the stuff in the context
htStore.put("Profiles", bugProfiles);
htStore.put("SelectedProfile", new Integer(bugProfileId));
htStore.put("bugs", (ArrayList) bugData.get("Bugs"));
return htStore;
=============================================================
And I am trying to call this function as it can capable of fetching the data from the database by "getbugProfiles".
In the new class bugWatcherRefreshAction.java I have coded a part of code which actually clears the caching.Below I am giving the required part of the code:
=============================================================
public void doPerform(RunData rundata, Context context,String str) throws Exception {
JetspeedRunData data = (JetspeedRunData) rundata;
HttpServletRequest request = null;
//PortletConfig pc = portlet.getPortletConfig();
//String userId = request.getRemoteUser();
/*String userId = ((JetspeedUser)rundata.getUser()).getUserName();//sraha on 1/4/05
String pId = request.getParameter("PortletId");
PortalLogger.logDebug("just after pId " +pId); */
//Calling the variable holding the value of portlet id from BugWatcherAction.java
//We are getting the portlet id here , through a variable from BugWatcherAction.java
/*BugWatcherPortletContent bgAct = new BugWatcherPortletContent();
String portletID = bgAct.pId1;
PortalLogger.logDebug("got the portlet ID in bugwatcherRefreshAction:---sraha"+portletID);*/
// updating the bug groups
Hashtable result = new Hashtable();
try {
request = data.getRequest();
String userId = ((JetspeedUser)data.getUser()).getUserName();//sraha on 1/4/05
//String pId = (String)request.getParameter("portletId");
//String pId = pc.getPorletId();
PortalLogger.logDebug("just after pId " +pId);
PortalLogger.logDebug("after getting the pId-----sraha");
result =BugWatcherAPI.getbugList(profileId, userId);
PortalLogger.logDebug("select the new bug groups:: select is done ");
context.put("SelectedbugGroups", profileId);
//start clearing the cache
ContentCacheContext cacheContext = getCacheContext(rundata);
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching - removing markup content - before removecontent");
// remove the markup content from cache.
PortletContentCache.removeContent(cacheContext);
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching-removing markup content - after removecontent");
//remove the backend content from cache
CacheablePortletData pdata =(CacheablePortletData) PortletCache.getCacheable(PortletCacheHelper.getUserHandle(((JetspeedUser)data.getUser()).getUserName()));
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching User: " +((JetspeedUser)data.getUser()).getUserName());
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching pId: " +pId);
if (pdata != null)
// User's data found in cache!
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching -inside pdata!=null");
pdata.removeObject(PortletCacheHelper.getUserPortletHandle(((JetspeedUser)data.getUser()).getUserName(),pId));
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching -inside pdata!=null- after removeObject");
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching -finish calling the remove content code");
//end clearing the cache
// after clearing the caching calling the data from the database taking a fn from the portletContent.java
PortalLogger.logDebug("after clearing cache---sraha");
BugWatcherPortletContent bugwatchportcont = new BugWatcherPortletContent();
Hashtable httable= new Hashtable();
httable=(Hashtable)bugwatchportcont.loadContent();
PortalLogger.logDebug("after making the type casting-----sraha");
Set storeKeySet = httable.keySet();
Iterator itr = storeKeySet.iterator();
while (itr.hasNext()) {
String paramName = (String) itr.next();
context.put(paramName, httable.get(paramName));
PortalLogger.logDebug("after calling the databs data from hashtable---sraha");
} catch (CodedPortalException e) {
PortalLogger.logException("bugwatcherRefreshAction:: Exception- ",e);
context.put("Error", CommonUtil.getErrMessage(e.getMessage()));
catch (Exception e) {
PortalLogger.logException("bugwatcherRefreshAction:: Exception- ",e);
context.put( "Error",CommonUtil.getErrMessage(ErrorConstantsI.EXCEPTION_CODE));
try {
((JetspeedRunData) data).setCustomized(null);
if (((JetspeedRunData) data).getCustomized() == null)
ActionLoader.getInstance().exec(data,"controls.EndCustomize");
catch (Exception e)
PortalLogger.logException("bugwatcherRefreshAction", e);
===============================================================
In the bugwatcher Action there is another function called PostLoadContent.java
here though i have found the portlet Id but unable to fetch that in the bugWatcherRefreshAction.java . I am also giving the code of that function under the bugWatcherAction.Java
================================================
// Get the PortletData object from intermediate store.
CacheablePortletData pdata =(CacheablePortletData) PortletCache.getCacheable(PortletCacheHelper.getUserHandle(
//rundata.getRequest().getRemoteUser()));
((JetspeedUser)rundata.getUser()).getUserName()));
pId1 = (String)portlet.getID();
PortalLogger.logDebug("in the bugwatcher action:"+pId1);
try {
Hashtable htStore = null;
// if PortletData is available in store, get current portlet's data from it.
if (pdata != null) {
htStore =(Hashtable) pdata.getObject( PortletCacheHelper.getUserPortletHandle(
((JetspeedUser)rundata.getUser()).getUserName(),portlet.getID()));
//Loop through the hashtable and put its elements in context
Set storeKeySet = htStore.keySet();
Iterator itr = storeKeySet.iterator();
while (itr.hasNext()) {
String paramName = (String) itr.next();
context.put(paramName, htStore.get(paramName));
bugwatcherRefreshAction bRefAc = new bugwatcherRefreshAction();
bRefAc.doPerform(pdata,context,pId1);
=============================================================
So this is the total scenario for the fetching the data , after clearing the cache and display that in the portal.I am unable to do that.Presently it is still fetching the data from the cache and it is not going to the database.Even the portlet Id is returning as null.
I am unable to implement that thing.
If you have any insight about this thing, that would be great .As it is very urgent a promt response will highly appreciated.Please send me any pointers or any issues for this I am unable to do that.
Please let me know as early as possible.
Thanks and regards,
Santanu Raha.Have you run it in a debugger? That will show you exactly what is happening and why.

Copying SSL Certificates from one server to another.
I have a question that hopefully someone might have the answer for... I have a IPlanet 6.0 SP4 server that has an SSL certificate I'm trying to move to a new server that's on SunOne 6.1. I was under the impression that I could easily copy the <Iplanet_Root>/alias/https-<ServerInstance>-<server>-<key3/cert7>.db files to the new server from that server's alias directory. However before I copied the files, I immediately noticed the new server's cert file is called cert8 instead of cert7 and is 64K as opposed to the 6.0 server's 16K.
I stopped the web instance and renamed the current db files and copied in the new and changed the cert7 to cert8. When I restarted the server, it stayed up and didn't report any problems. However, when I go the security tab and click on any of the links on the left column, an internal server error (http500) page is displayed. No additional errors show up in the errors log.
Unfortunately, we don't have the original certificate request. I'm sure when it was applied for; it was cut and pasted into the install certificate page. Otherwise, I'd simply do the install on the other server. Is there a simply means to copy an already installed cert from one sever to another?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.Migration from 6.0 to 6.1 should take care of this. You don't have to rename the files to cert7.db after the migration, just leave them with their new names and size as is. The new file created in 6.1(after migration is complete) will be called cert8 and this is fine because 6.1 uses newer version of security libs. Doc links:

Copying an XControl from one LVLib to another
Hi,
I'm trying to copy a project from a template into a new location programatically. I face problems while copying XControls from one LVLib to another. I also need to rename the all the VIs and Ctls in the XControl and the XControl and LVLib. Kindly post in your ideas.
Thanks,
VaishnaviHi Vaishnavi,
You can not just copy an XControl folder on the disk, you have to do this from LabVIEW.
The Save As dialog will give you an option to create a copy and it will take care of all naming issues automatically.

[CS3 JS] Move pages from one document to another?
First, a brief explanation of what I am trying to do. I have several individual chapters that I am including in an INDD book. However, I also want to be able to allow those individual chapters to stand alone, meaning that I want to add a cover/title page to each chapter file (these two pages would be placed before the current page 1 of each chapter).
My preference would be to write a script that would open the cover/tp file and open the first chapter file; this part is no problem. Where I am running into trouble however, is the second step: moving the cover/tp pages (2 pages) over into the chapter file.
Manually, I would open Cover.indd, activate the "move pages" menu, "Move pages: 1-2", "Destination: Before_Page 1", "Move to: Chapter1.indd".
With over 100 chapters in the book, however, I would prefer to automate the process. I have looked into the Page.move and PageItem.move elements, but both look like they would require a location in the current document (either in (x,y) form or using "AT_BEGINNING".
If I cannot get this to work, I will likely try to insert two blank pages, then cut/paste with a script, but I would prefer the "move" functionality, if it is possible.
A couple of answers to potential questions:
I can't simply place the INDD cover file b/c it uses a text variable to pull the chapter name; this personalizes each stand-alone chapter.
Same answer to why I can't just slap the 2-page .pdf on the front of each. I need the text variable to still be active.
Has anyone tried to move pages from one document to another using scripting? I tried to explain what I am trying to do, but if it doesn't make sense, I can try again. :)
thanks!
Mattok here we are
I get a raw skeleton that you will have to adjust but it's functional.
Use a PDF for placement as you can specify the page that you want to place.
I don't know if you can do the same for indesign files.
So basically, it starts adding 2 pages and placeing the pdf in the same time.
After that, it creates the textVariable and the frame that will receive it.
Here you are:
//If a document is open
if(app.documents.length!=0)
var ad = app.activeDocument;
//Pages placement
for(i=0; i<2; i++)
//Add 2 pages on top of the document;
var tmpPg = ad.pages.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, ad.pages[0]);
//Here you place your pdf
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = i;
tmpPg.place(File(cover.pdf), false)
//You should specify page x and page y but ain't found yet the way to go.
//Text variable creation
//Check if the textVariable named "txtVar" does not already exist...
if(ad.textVariables.item("txtVar")==null)
//if not found, create the text variable named "txtVar"
var txtVar = ad.textVariables.add();
txtVar.variableType =VariableTypes.CUSTOM_TEXT_TYPE;
txtVar.name = "txtVar";
//Set the contents of the text variables to the string "test"
ad.textVariables.item("txtVar").variableOptions.contents = "test";
//these coordinates don't care aboutyour units but you may adjust them to your needs
var y1 = ad.marginPreferences.left;
var x1 = ad.marginPreferences.top;
var y2 = y1+5;
var x2 = x1+25;
var myFrame = ad.pages[0].textFrames.add({geometricBounds:[y1,x1,y2,x2]});
//Set the contents of the frame to the text variables "txtVar"
myFrame.contents=ad.textVariables.item("txtVar").variableOptions.contents;
//You may want to stylize the txtVar
//In this case, either you use a existing characterStyle or you create one in the script

Best Way to port the data from one DB to another DB using Biztalk
Hi,
please suggest best way to move the data from one db to another DB using biztalk.
Currently I am doing like that, for each transaction(getting from different source tables) through receive port, and do some mapping (some custom logic for data mapping), then insert to target normalized tables(multiple tables) and back to update the status
of transaction in source table in sourceDB. It is processing one by one.
How/best we we can do it using bulk transfer and update the status. Since it has more than 10000 transaction per call.
Thanks,
VinothHi Vinoth,
For SQL Bulk inserts you can always use SQL Bulk Load
adapter.
http://www.biztalkgurus.com/biztalk_server/biztalk_blogs/b/biztalksyn/archive/2005/10/23/processing-a-large-flat-file-message-with-biztalk-and-the-sqlbulkinsert-adapter.aspx
However, even though a SQL Bulk Load adapter can efficiently insert a large amount of data into SQL you are still stuck with the issues of transmitting the
MessageBox database and the memory issues of dealing with really large messages.
I would personally suggest you to use SSIS, as you have mentioned that records have to be processed in specific time of day as opposed to when the
records are available.
Please refer to this link to get more information about SSIS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141026.aspx
If you have any more questions related to SSIS, please ask it in
SSIS
forum and you will get specific support.

Moving music from one computer to another using an iPod?
Thing is I want to buy a new laptop soon, and I'd like to move my music from my old computer to the new one, but I'd like to use my iPod 160GB as a hard disk to transport it, I've copied my music and video files along with other important data into folders I've created inside the iPod, it covers about a 3rd of the total space in the iPod. Question is, can I transport the music to the new computer without the system resetting the iPod to work with the new computer itself?
Last time(like 3 weeks ago) I had to reset my computer(the old one) because of viruses trouble and such, but I had previously saved my data inside the iPod, so I just copied the files to the same locations as they were in the previous configuration including the iTunes folders library files to a folder I created, then installed iTunes and then the iTunes library files to its own folder; it worked wonders because no files or playlists were lost, and when I plugged my iPod, I had no problems, but I reckoned no problems happened there because this iPod had been used with this computer already, so I wonder if this would be effective with a new computer.
So question remains, could I transport the files(all data) from the iPod to the new computer without it resetting itself and hence losing any of the data?How to Copy and Move (Clone) your iTunes Library from One Computer to Another – or Archive Prior to a PC Re-Image or Reformat
This well-written iLounge Article is a must-read for anyone considering moving their Library to a new computer or a new location. Or, just wants a better understanding of how iTunes manages your music.
Below is the conceptual framework with related and important links. Apply and adapt it to your specific situation and equipment resources.
The safest, quickest, and most optimal method to move your Library to a new computer is to actually clone the entire ‘iTunes’ folder (directory) structure, rather than just copying just the song files. By copying the entire ‘iTunes’ folder and all sub-folders, you capture not only the music files, but the all-important ‘iTunes Library.itl’ database file (usually located in the ‘iTunes’ folder), which contains all the data about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). See: What are the iTunes Library files?
Install iTunes on the new computer. Then go back to your old computer and move (copy) the "iTunes" folder which usually resides inside your "…\My Documents\My Music" folder from the old computer to the exact same place (both Drive Letter and complete Path) on the new computer. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will look and behave exactly the same way it did on the old, Play Counts, Ratings, Comments and all!
Preserving and transferring the original Library Database file (iTunes Library.itl) is most critical with iPhones as they can sync with only one iTunes Library at a time. This is managed by the ‘Library Persistent ID’ hardcoded within each iTunes database file. If your ITL file has a different ID, your iTunes/iPhone attachment will be seen as a new Library and you will need to completely re-sync your iPhone. This may or may not be an issue for you. See how to manage the LPID via This Link.
NOTE: It is usually safer moving files between computers with the same version of iTunes!!
iTunes Files to Copy and Move to your New PC (for iPod, iTouch &/or iPhone – use as needed)
1) All Music Files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘iTunes Music’ folder)
2) All Application Files in their current folder structure (usually located in the ‘Mobile Applications’ folder)
3) All Album Artwork Files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘Album Artwork’ folder)
4) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
5) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
6) The iTunes Library Extras.itdb and iTunes Library Genius.itdb files, also in the ‘iTunes’ folder
Some additional files to consider also include in a backup:
7) Any XML playlist files created for Playlist retention
8) The two iTunes.pref files (optional)
i) C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
ii) C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
9) The XML file of Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes saved from the main Library and created by Otto’s SaveRatings script (also optional, but recommended):
“Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/SaveRatings.zip . It's a program, just run it like any other program. Run it on the machine where you're copying the info from BEFORE you move the files to the new machine. Click the "Save Ratings" button and it'll create a ratings.xml file. Now when you move the files, move the program and this file as well. Then after you make your new iTunes library, run it again and click the "Restore Ratings" button. Voila, all your information is back in the Library. Well, most of it anyway, it's not perfect. It'll tell you what songs it couldn't figure out though, and there's usually not very many.”
10) The folder(s) used to store and sync photos to your iPhone (if applicable)
11) The iTunes created Backup of your iPhone usually located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Here's a list of methods to copy and move your music files from one computer to another:
1) Use an External Hard Drive (ExHD) to move the complete files and Folder structures from one computer to another (my preferred option). You can clone’ the entire ‘iTunes’ folder structure in one very easy step. Also great to have available for complete backups of your Library. External hard drives now run less than $100 for 500GBs-1TB of storage. See This Link
2) Directly connect the two computers:
2a) Connect them through a Router &/or Network
2b) Directly connect using an Ethernet cable: Straight for using at least one Mac; or Crossover for PC/PC Instructions here.
2c) Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. Example here. There are various types out there (use Google).
--Then copy the files from one computer to the other.
3) Use the iPod as a transfer device, as this extensive Apple link explains. It will be a bit easier if your iPod has a larger capacity than your music collection, otherwise you will need to perform multiple copy/move transfers. This well written process also works fine while using any other data transfer medium (ExHD, Flash Drive, DVD, CD, Zipp, Jazz, etc.).
4) Burn several DVDs (at 4.7GBs each) with your music data files and folder structure, and load them onto the new computer. Re-writable DVDs are more cost effective (if your DVD drive can manage these types).
5) Burn 6x more on CDs (at 700MB each) than in #4 above and load the files and folders on the new computer. Re-writable CDs are more cost effective (if your CD drive can manage these types).
6) Use a larger USB Flash drive (1GB - 4GB) to move the files and folders. Best if the flash drive is larger than your Library, otherwise you will need multiple copy/move transfers.
These are links to various additional instructions on performing the transfer (read them all, but some listed steps may not be required depending on your specific situation):

Also, remember to Deauthorize your PC before you reformat it, dispose of it, or retire it from iTMS use (if applicable).

Need to paint objects from one applet into another
Maybe this question is more at home here; I have an applet test program which uses the timer class to make a car drive across the screen. The test works fine with the rectangle I used, but now I need to use the car created in this class:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
public class Car extends Applet
public void paint(Graphics g)
Graphics2D g2 =(Graphics2D)g;
Rectangle body =new Rectangle(100, 110, 60, 10);
Ellipse2D.Double frontTire =new Ellipse2D.Double(110, 120, 10, 10);
Ellipse2D.Double rearTire =new Ellipse2D.Double(140, 120, 10, 10);
Point2D.Double r1 =new Point2D.Double(110, 110);
//the bottom of the front windshield
Point2D.Double r2 =new Point2D.Double(120, 100);
//the front of the roof
Point2D.Double r3 =new Point2D.Double(140, 100);
//the rear of the roof
Point2D.Double r4 =new Point2D.Double(150, 110);
//the bottom of the rear windshield
Line2D.Double frontWindshield =new Line2D.Double(r1, r2);
Line2D.Double roofTop =new Line2D.Double(r2, r3);
Line2D.Double rearWindshield =new Line2D.Double(r3, r4);
g2.draw(body);
g2.draw(frontTire);
g2.draw(rearTire);
g2.draw(frontWindshield);
g2.draw(roofTop);
g2.draw(rearWindshield);
}The only thing I could think of was making an object of type Car in the test program and then doing something like this:
Car c =new Car();
g2.draw(c.paint(g));
But it says in the test program void type not allowed here. Any tips as to what I'm doing wrong? My guess is that its a problem in the Car class and not the test program, but I didn't think I was supposed to alter Car. (Plus I tried already and couldn't get it to work.)what? I don't see what you are trying to do..
You are trying to make an instance of a class which has no constructor?
You are trying to move a Panel (an Applet is a subclass of Panel) in another Panel (in Test class?)
Keep in mind that the Panel automatically has flow layout. In flow layout the components are sized to minimum size, and if the component is another Panel, the minimum size is 0 if there are no components in it.
Do you need both applets open at once?
Why not just copy this paint code into your test class?
Also note that you CAN copy the Graphics from one component onto another, but the Graphics object cannot be null, or you will get a NullPointerException... which is what will happen if you try to copy it in the init() of your test class.
Why not just make your car a Component (or a Panel even) and give it a constructor? (And make sure to set minimum size to something other than zero?)
I think you have more than one problem..
