Cfthread, valid use case? + queueing question

Hello,
I am running cf9 standard
I setup a cfthread to start logging the different scopes. ie. form, url, session, cgi minus any sensitive form fields like password & credit card information.
I decided to use cfthread with priority low for this insertion since it is not crucial to the customer.
I read a lot of blog entries from around the time cfthread was introduced in CF8 where too many threads could be a bad thing.
I don't think I have to worry about it so much because they are just db inserts and I do not have the customer waiting around for the thread to finish.
Since last night there has been 20k+ db inserts with no issues so far.
Is there anything I need to be mindful of? It looks like the queueing system of cf9 is doing a good job of handling the cfthreads.
I guess I am on edge because of all the "be cautious" articles and want to make sure I am not leading the server down a road to disaster.

I've had good and bad experiences with cfthread. The bad ones all have something in common. I was using cfthread to run simultaneous select queries against a redbrick database. This caused problems with the database server, which is an old unix box.
On the other hand, I've used cfthread to run simulaneous queries against an oracle database and did not notice any issues.
Something that you may have already noticed is that when you use cfthread, queries in those threads do not show up in the debugging portion of the main thread. That makes development and maintenance slightly more difficult.

Use case related question

I have the requirement to read the data from a oracle table and do some transformation on few of the columns and then push them via a webservice to create in the target system.
As of now i am done with a model in the odi studio and i dragged and dropped the source table to the interface on left side. i know how to apply trnsformations as well.
the point where i stuck is what to specify in the target data store as i need to call a webservice instead.
Further, how will i actually pass the desired soap request to the webServiceInvoke component ? I know how to invoke my service from odi by pasting the soap request into the command section of the webserviceComponent directly. but how to build a request
dynamically from the table rows after applying the required transformation rules?
Please advise.
i am using odi 11.1.1.6

Based on some suggestions I changed it a bit as follows:
1. I created a procedure instead with source as following command
select description descr from cn_rs_rules_all_vl where rule_id in (4201, 300100011001731) order by creation_date desc
2. and target to invoke a webservice call as follows:
OdiInvokeWebService "-URL=https://efops-rel7st1-cdrm-external-crm.us.oracle.com/opptyMgmtOpportunities/OpportunityService?WSDL" "-PORT_TYPE=OpportunityService" "-OPERATION=createOpportunity" "-HTTP_USER=Sales_Representative" "-HTTP_PASS=aIyX1kofZWZSvZxcq8xf"

A Use Case question.

Hello all
I am currently developing an event management assignment for my degree.
A subset of problem statment
Attendee is a person, who would register with the application
in order to view the posted events.
For this part of the problem statment i have identified a usecase
"register attendee".
I will type the use case here. Since i am a novice, I would really like
design gurus to throw some light on the use case and suggest me changes
I will really appreciate it.
Use case : register attendee
Pre-condition: Attendee decides to register.
Main Success Scenario:
     Actor                         System
1. Attendee requests to register.
                    2. Provides registration form.
3. Attendee fills the form and
submits.
                    4. System checks for valid
                    authentication.
(//for eg. unique username)
                    5. System validates the information
(//for eg.compulsory fields
                         present or not)
                    6. System notifies through mail.
                    7. Displays registration was
                    successful.
Alternative Flow :
4 a) Invalid authentication : Displays appropriate message.
5 a) Invalid information : Displays appropriate message.
6 a) Mail notification failure : Logs the failure message and email.
Please guide me friends. I am a bit confused.
Thanks in advance.

Use case are pretty good for both of these. You know
your system needs to allow an ATTENDEE to register
with the SYSTEM using a REGISTRATION FORM. These sound
like things that either you need to model (what
attributes do the form and attendee have) or a thing
that you need to build the "system".
The steps in the use case tell you how the system must
behave. It needs to "getRegistrationForm" and give it
the attendee. The Attendee needs to
"completeRegistrationForm" and
"submitRegistrationForm". So, with the authentication
and validation rounding out the process you have a
good idea of what kind of methods you need as a base
in order to deal with the real world concepts you have
identified.I am through with what behaviour my system will need to provide in
order to realize the use case. But I will have to assign the behaviour
appropriately to classes of objects. I would like to go to the design model once i have a good understanding of the domain model. This is where the problem starts, should i identify, AuthenticationVerifier,InformationVerfier as different concepts and give later say AuthenticationVerifier the responsibility of verifying unique authentication and InformationVerfier the responsibility of verifying information received with the form or should I only take one concept of say Administrator that would perform the above two stated behaviours. I understand that it is always good to overspecify concepts rather than under specify but at some point of time i will have to make that decision.
If its a libray system, it is easy to identify certain priliminary concepts say book, patron, etc. as they occupy some physical space. But here nothing is clear. There isn't any entity in my use case, that occupies a physical space that i can easily identify as a real world concept.
My question is, how in this case, do someone define the notion of concept when there is nothing in the main success scenario that occupies space. My use case, only specifies what will be done with the
attendee information, not who will do it. So as a use case developer, am i responsible to map these processes with some physical entities that i have derived for eg. AuthenticationVerfier.
ps. You will need to add the Attendee as an Actor. She
is the one that is initiating the activity.Does it mean that as Attendee is an actor, he/she cannot be a concept?

HT204053 i want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded. I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is

I want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded. I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is valid. I cannnot delete the account because "find my iphone" wants the password linked to this old account. But when i go into the find my iphone app it is using my corect Apple ID. How do i fix this?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT USING CASE STRUCTURE

Can I compute a percentage using case structure?
In the following query below, I have been able to use CASE STRUCTURE to add to a counter when days were between 0 and 30, or when days were between 31 and 60 or when days were between 61 and 90 or when days were between 91 and 9999. I have also been able to get a GRAND TOTAL of all days between 0 and 9999. This is done in the LAST ITEM of the SELECT STATEMENT. The FIRST ITEM of the SELECT STATEMENT counts rows of records being processed. I want to take the LAST ITEM of the SELECT STATEMENT and MULTIPLY it by 100 and then DIVIDE it by the FIRST ITEM of the SELECT STATEMENT to get a percentage. I know that you can do this with numeric fields in a file but is there a way to do this in CASE STRUCTURE with calculated totals?

VMware Performance Event Triggers use case questions.

1) Can the CPO VMware Adapter Performance Event Triggers and their
SAMPLE SIZE, INTERVAL, and CONDITIONS attributes be configured
for the following use case?
2) Can VMWare Performance Event Triggers be CORRELATED? and if so would it be needed to satisfy the use case?
3) Would an additional performance monitoring tool be required to satisy the use case?:
If a VM CPU or RAM has been 80% for 2 hours then trigger a workflow
and
If a VM CPU or RAM has been at 60% for X days then trigger a workflow

I will first describe how you could instrument a correlation method, but ultimately, I'm not sure it is really necessary for the uses cases described.
To correlate VMware performance events over a designated timeframe, you would create a correlation process that tracks the underlying performance event and decides whether or not to trigger the process you want triggered when the correlated event is detected.
Here's how it works.
First, create a global table with three columns:
1) Virtual Machine path
2) Consecutive Trigger Count
3) Last Trigger time
Create a process that is triggered by a VMware performance event (such as Memory Avg > 80%) where you can set a sample size and interval that makes sense given the timeframe of interest (2 hours or X days). For example, a sample size of 10 and interval of 30 seconds (5 minutes) is a reasonable time slice from vCenter for a 2 hour timeframe. This results in requiring 24 consecutive triggers to raise the actual event of interest. (2 hours divided by 5 minutes)
That is, the formula is:
Sample Size * Interval / Timeframe = Consecutive Trigger Count
The correlation process triggered by the raw VMware event does the following:
1) If there is no existing entry in the global table for the VM, add entry to table with count = 1 and current time
2) if entry exists, check the current time against the last trigger time
   a) if it is the next interval, for example, current time is 12:15 and last triggered time was 12:10 (see note below),
        Increment counter and set last trigger time
        If count = 24, then run the process that handles the "VM Memory Avg > 80% for at least 2 hours " and delete entry from table.
       If count < 24, the process exits having only incremented the counter and set the last trigger time
   b) if the current time is > than last trigger time + time slice (+ a little padding), set the counter back to 1
Note: When comparing current time w/last time, you should pad to account for slight processing delays so compare current-time < last-time+(time slice*2). Anything less than 10 minutes in this case would be considered a consecutive trigger. You could also compare current-time < last-time+time-slice+1, which is probably also safe.
Now, having gone through all that, you may not need the correlation process after all. Simply adjust your sample size to be large enough to accommodate your ultimate timeframe and you can trigger your event handler directly without the need to correlate. So for the 2 hour window, just create a sample size of 240 (* 30 seconds = 2 hours). This may or may not work depending on how performance metrics have been configured on the server (sample size, intervals and how much is saved). You can only set your own sample and intervals to multiples of those configured values (so be careful and refer to the VMware documentation when relying on such metrics)
You may find that the correlation method I first described is more reliable, especially for longer timeframes such as X days (where you need to sample hourly rather than every 5 minutes).
In any case, I think you can do what is asked without external monitoring, but it will require some experimentation and a deeper knowledge of how performance metric sampling works for ESX.

Struts2 - Dynamic values in expression while doing validations using annota

Hi,
I am using Struts2. I am doing validations using annotations in action class.
I have many forms having same type of fields say zip code.
I am adding validations like below in each action class having zip code field
@Action(value = "/saveData")
@Validations(
     regexFields = {
          @RegexFieldValidator(fieldName = "databean.zipCode", expression = "^([1-9]{1}[0-9]{4}(-[0-9]{4})?)$", key = "errors.zipcode.format", message = "errors.zipcode.format")
public String saveData() throws Exception {
Now, in case if I need to change the expression for zip code validations, then I need to modify the same in each action class.
I would like to know if there is any way to use java variable or property for expression so that i only need to change at one place (value of variable) and all actions get modified.
I want something like below
private static final String ZIP_CODE_FORMAT_EXPRESSION = "^([1-9]{1}[0-9]{4}(-[0-9]{4})?)$"
@Action(value = "/saveData")
@Validations(
     regexFields = {
          @RegexFieldValidator(fieldName = "databean.zipCode", expression = "${ZIP_CODE_FORMAT_EXPRESSION}", key = "errors.zipcode.format", message = "errors.zipcode.format")
public String saveData() throws Exception {
Thanks
Krishan Babbar

Thanks
That is working..
I defined my expression as constant in my another file and it is working fine....
One more question i need to check space in expression but its not working... I tried following:
expression = "^([a-zA-Z0-9@_.-\\s]+)$" and expression = "^([a-zA-Z0-9@_.-\\\\s]+)$"

Update using CASE statement

Hi
I have two tables
employee
empid empname empaddress valid
Employeedetails
empid empname manager
I would like to validate empname from both the tables using case statement and empid as join and update 'valid' column in employee table to y/n.
Please help me with the syntax

Hi,
Depending on your requirements:
UPDATE     employee e
SET     valid       = (
                 SELECT CASE
                                 WHEN COUNT (*) = 0
                       THEN 'n'
                       ELSE      'y'
                             END
                 FROM    employeedetails
                 WHERE   empname     = e.empname
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
If you're asking about a DML statement, such as UPDATE, the sample data will be the contents of the table(s) before the DML, and the results will be state of the changed table(s) when everything is finished.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

EVO:RAIL - Use Cases?

I think as soon as the world becomes aware of EVO:RAIL then folks will start asking what the use cases are. It's clear that there are couple of immediate use cases, but I'm betting that customers will bring to the table applications that perhaps we hadn't considered. The other night I was our Tech Summit event (its private event for VMware SE/TAMs to attend prior to VMworld to get them up to speed on what the announcements are all about), and I was approached by a number of SE/TAMs who are interested in running EVO:RAIL in the basements and garages as the foundation to their homelabs. Even with the onsite of Cloud - and we have an internal cloud that SE/TAMs can use demo products to customers - just like the VMware Community they still have a passion for building out their own demos, just how they like them - that they can tailor make to handle customer questions that come up. I'm the same, despite being at VMware for 2+ years, I'm still running my own gear at home. It just worked out more cost effective form my needs than keeping my 42U rack at a colo.
I doubt that my might the "WAF" would apply to having a 4U box with 4 nodes inside it - in the spare bedroom. So I'm already looking at running EVO:RAIL in a nested configuration on my home lab gear for testing, videos and demos to customers. That work has already been done for the VMworld HoL, by William Lam (the undisputed king of nested ESX, well, perhaps Simon Gallagher comes close!) - who's done some excellent work on this already. So hopefully it won't take much work to get hold of the bits from the HoL, and pump the lastest build of EVO:RAIL into it...
Anyway, I digress use cases. It's clear that ROBO, SMB and VDI are the top use cases - situations where an appliance like model, with zero configuration (almost!) is needed. I think we perhaps be a bit careful with the SMB use case. EVO:RAIL is 4xNodes in a 4U configuration with each node presenting 192GB of RAM. One thing I've always been concerned with is how variable "SMB" is as term. Over here in a the US an SMB would be classed as company with <1000 employees. Over here in Europe, that would be regarded as still quite large for an SMB.. The same goes ROBO. So I guess what I'm saying is size is relative, and so we have to be careful when use terms like "small".
Folks who know me will know that I'm a big fan of VMware Site Recovery Manager and vSphere Replication - having written books about the version 1.0, 40 and 5.0 versions. I think there's use case where an EVO:RAIL is put into some colocation facilitiy and used as DR target. The important thing to remember about EVO:RAIL as its based on vSphere 5.5 U2, other products in the vCloud Suite family will work with it - like SRM, View, vCloud Director or vCAC... So its not some special "moded" version of the platform. Perhaps a better model for DR and EVO:RAIL is to run VR locally on it, and use vCloud Air as the target for recovery...? I guess we have to ask the question what's going to be more popular/easier. Two site with EVO:RAIL at either end, or EVO:RAIL enabled for DR to the cloud. Just to be clear. That isn't baked into EVO:RAIL today, I'm just blue sky thinking about the possibilities in the future.
So what do folks think here? Can you dream up any other scenarios where an EVO:RAIL would be good fit...?

You make some valid points there, but there's a couple of things that are worth clarifying....
Firstly, EVO:RAIL is pre-installed at factory. So really the only "installation" is racking up, and connecting to the TOR. In fact I think an EVO:RAIL is easier to setup that a VSA is, and gives more usable disk space, and lower cost per gigabyte..
IF the customer has given the OEM the IPs, IP Ranges, Hostnames, and Passwords - then it literally is a 15min setup after clicking "Build Appliance". On the other hand if the customer wants to customize the EVO:RAIL prior to build - such as changing the VLANs Tags (That they supplied) that would add a couple of minutes...
vDS is NOT a prequistie. EVO:RAIL uses standard switches... Although an EVO:RAIL is licensed for Enterprize Plus. There's no requirement to configure a Distributed Switches.
The real "asks" here is the customer needs 10Gb switch - I think its fair to say that isn't common in SMB/ROBO environment. I suspect many of the OEMs will be asking the customer to validate their switch configuation. Multicast for IPv4/IPv6 is used by the "Zero Network Configuation" on the management/VSAN networks. As the name suggest no configuration is required on the EVO:RAIL, its used as part of the discovery process for finding the nodes, and finding new appliances. One most switches this tick off box option on the switch for the VLANs that require it...
Anyone of my plans is to order an EVO:RAIL from one of our suppliers just like a customer would, and document/record that process. So i can get a feel for a real world customer experience would be. In fact I might see if my wife, Carmel can set it up... :-)

ADF faces use cases

Hi
I recently encountered this uses case wherein i had to delay the validation until commit time as outlined here
http://jobinesh.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-skip-validation.html
I am just wundering is there a ADF faces document that outlines such use cases and the ways to tackle them.
regards

Hrishy,
Well, there is the documentation, particularly the Fusion Developer's Guide. There's lots of blogs and articles on OTN. There's some books just out. If you have a specific question, perhaps someone can direct you with a more specific answer.
Best,
John

Cannot Record Material Inspection Results as per wiki use case * SOLVED *

=== EDIT ===
Playing around, I solved my issue.
I did not realize that I needed to set both flags
CloseIndicatorSpecified = true;
CloseIndicator = false;
Adding that fixed it; I suspect I cannot set them to null even if the WSDL allows it.
Michel.
=== ORIGINAL POST ===
Hi,
I have a project to integrate SAP and our LIMS using the SAP web services with the Material Inspection business object.
In the Wiki, there are a few [use cases|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/ESpackages/IntegrationofQualityManagementSystems] on the subject.
Following that, I successfully retrieve all the required data using the following web services:
[Find Material Inspection Basic Data by Elements|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ESpackages/FindMaterialInspectionBasicDatabyElements]
[Find Material Inspection Subset Operation by Elements|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ESpackages/FindMaterialInspectionSubsetOperationbyElements]
[Find Subset Operation Inspection Activity Basic Data by Elements|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ESpackages/FindSubsetOperationInspectionActivityBasicDatabyElements]
[Read Subset Operation Inspection Activity|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ESpackages/ReadSubsetOperationInspectionActivity]
From there, I want to record results. According to the Wiki , I should use
[Record Subset Operation Inspection Activity Result|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ESpackages/RecordSubsetOperationInspectionActivity+Result]
I tried directly through the [WS Navigator|http://sr.esworkplace.sap.com/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcesiespwsnavui/WSNavigator] to test web services. Whenever go through that tho, I get the following error:
Conversion Error: Invalid Input Format (701 SFB)
Obviously, I get the exact same error using c# (at least I'm consistent!)
Below is the code (some is truncated because it is too long but I think you can get the idea).
The question: Can anyone help me understand why I am getting that error? Maybe there is one or more property I don't understand... It would be practical if the actual failing property was identified in the LogItem, but it is not.
Some things I tried (to no avail):
1. Tried all sort of combination for actionCode
2. Removed actionCode and set actionCodeSpecified = false
3. Removed the Measure property
4. Removed the Text property
5. Removed the ChangeStateID
Thanks in advance!

Use case for showing records in report view BAM based on version number

Hi,
I have a use case to update records based on version no. Let say I have a table or data object in BAM called 'Notes'. The Notes dataobject has three fields Id, Version, Description. The Notes data is displayed in a BAM report. I need to just display the latest version of the Notes. Say two records with one with Id as '124' and Version '4' and another with Id as '124' and version as '5'. The record related to version 5 should be dispalyed to user. How will I introduce this check in BAM reports for the latest version?
Thanks

That you see you're prints only means that your method outta called. The code creates a new row, but never inserts the row into the rowset. Then you call execute query which loses any connection to the new route which is not part of the rowset.
First action would never to call insertRow(r1) on the view object.
If you change data this way, only the model layer knows about it, the ui can't know about this (one of the disadvantages of using plsql or this construct you try). You have to tell the view controller to update it's data to. For this you can execute the iterator in the binding layer and/or ppr the container showing your data.
Then I don't see any complicated plsql called do I question if a programmatic co is necessary.

Transactions documentation and a difficult(?) use-case...

I would like detailed information about how TransactionMap work with different isolation levels, ie how both changes performed by the application holding the map and in the distributed cache is propagated between them etc.
More detailed information about the TransactionMap.Validator would also be very appreciated.
We also have one specific "use case" I would like advice about - it goes like this:
We use one type of main object that has a very tight coupling to a varying number (0 to a few hundred in the extreme case) small detail objects. All the detail objects are always required as soon as the main object is used. A given detail object is never referenced from more than one main object. We have (for performance reasons) decided to treat the detail objects as "part of" the main object. The main objects are stored in the cache.
Users can make changes to the main objects themselves or to there detail objects. A user should be able to perform many changes to many main objects (and there detail objects) and "commit" them all at once pressing a button.
Now to the problem:
We would like to allow users to make "non conflicting" changes to a main objects detail objects - ie if two users has changed different detail objects we want to merge the changes instead of refusing the modification at commit. To be able to do this we intend to keep version numbers not only on the main object but also on the detail objects.
We would like to use "transactions" to handle the requirement that all a users changes should be "committed" at once and either all be introduced or not introduced at all (in the event of hardware failure during update for instance!) but the default behavior of Transaction is as I understand it (I have so far just read about it not played around with it much!) to compare the "whole object" for equality in the prepare (and commit?) steps. We also need exact information about WHAT object(s) that had been concurrently modified in the case a commit cant be performed allowing the user to "refresh" the relevant detail object only and retry committing his changes.
How would we be able to implement our "use case" in a good and reasonably efficient way given Coherents features? Would it for instance be possible (with a reasonable effort) to create our own transaction validation that could perform "merging of "non-conflicting" changes to the same object and in that case how should we go about it?
Best Regards
Magnus

Hi Magnus,
Our entry processor functionality is your best solution, but unfortunately is not fully supported within a transactional context.
I would suggest using a combination of explicit locking (as opposed to implicit transactions) and our entry processor functionality (new in 3.1).
Using explicit locking, you can enforce atomic access to cache entries. Using the entry processor you can perform partial updates locally on the server (allowing you to send only changes).
So the sequence would be:
* lock all "main objects"
* if necessary, validate the main objects (see below)
* use entry processors to perform "delta updates" against those main objects
* unlock the main objects
The locking is only required for atomicity (ensuring that updates don't overlap), and does require that all modifiers follow the same locking pattern. You may either design your objects so that you know the delta updates will complete successfully, or you'll need to verify the updates will succeed prior to actually executing the updates.

Need help in this sql query to use Case Statement

hi All,
I have the below query -
SELECT DISTINCT OFFC.PROV_ID
,OFFC.WK_DAY
,CASE
WHEN OFFC.WK_DAY ='MONDAY' THEN 1
WHEN OFFC.WK_DAY ='TUESDAY' THEN 2
WHEN OFFC.WK_DAY ='WEDNESDAY' THEN 3
WHEN OFFC.WK_DAY ='THURSDAY' THEN 4
WHEN OFFC.WK_DAY ='FRIDAY' THEN 5
WHEN OFFC.WK_DAY ='SATURDAY' THEN 6
WHEN OFFC.WK_DAY ='SUNDAY' THEN 7
END AS DOW
,OFFC.OFFC_OPENG_TIME
,OFFC.OFFC_CLSNG_TIME
FROM GGDD.PROV_OFFC_HR OFFC
WHERE OFFC.PROV_ID='0000600'
WITH UR;
this query is bringing results in 6 differnt rows with opening and closing time for each day separately. I want to generate the data in one row with each day having opening and closing time, so for 7 days, total 14 columns with opening and closing time. But i am not able to do that using case statement.
can somebody help me in achieving that.
thanks,
iamhere

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
That's called a Pivot .
Instead of having 1CASE expression, have 14, one for the opening and one for the closing time each day, and do GROUP BY to combine them onto one row.
SELECT       OFFC.PROV_ID
,       MIN (CASE WHEN OFFC.WK_DAY ='MONDAY'    THEN OFFC.OFFC_OPENG_TIME END)     AS mon_opn
,       MIN (CASE WHEN OFFC.WK_DAY ='MONDAY'    THEN OFFC.OFFC_CLSNG_TIME END)     AS mon_cls
,       MIN (CASE WHEN OFFC.WK_DAY ='TUESDAY'   THEN OFFC.OFFC_OPENG_TIME END)     AS tue_opn
,       MIN (CASE WHEN OFFC.WK_DAY ='TUESDAY'   THEN OFFC.OFFC_CLSNG_TIME END)     AS tue_cls
FROM        GGDD.PROV_OFFC_HR OFFC
WHERE       OFFC.PROV_ID     = '0000600'
GROUP BY offc.prov_id
;This assumes there is (at most) only one row in the table for each distinct prov_id and weekday. If not, what do you want to do? Post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data.
The staement above works in Oracle 8.1 and up, but there's a better way (SELECT ... PIVOT) available in Oracle 11. What version are you using? (It's always a good idea to include this when you post a question.)

Photostream, iCloud Photo Sharing, iPhoto, my phone, and use cases all around

I have a fre pretty basic use case questions about Photostream.
I take a lot of pictures on my iPhone. They magically appear in iPhoto on my Mac. I'm told that by having the import feature in iPhoto turned on, those photos will stay in iPhoto on my iMac forever - or at least after I pass the 30 days/1,000 most recent photos limits.
So that leaves me to ask: what am I supposed to do with the photos on my phone? Just leave them there to eat up storage? Or delete them at some point? Delete all the photos on my phone after I import those that Photostream hadn't already captured? Is there any benefit to importing a duplicate photo if I have Photostream importing turned on? And are they truly, really duplicate photos? Are the iPhone photos in my Photostream duplicated on my phone until they fall out of Photostream? Are iPhone photos duplicated if they're in a shared stream?
I just don't know what I should do with the photos on my iPhone once they're on my iMac, and I'm not truly confident that they're on my iMac for good or that they're truly the same file as the original.

on the mac/iphoto, move photos in the Photo stream group into some other album.
foatbttpo1567,In iPhoto on a mac you need to download the photos to an event - not an album. An album would only reference them in the photo stream, but not store the photos in the iPhoto library. Turning on "Automatic Import", as Old Toad suggested, will do that and create monthly events.
I'm told that by having the import feature in iPhoto turned on, those photos will stay in iPhoto on my iMac forever - or at least after I pass the 30 days/1,000 most recent photos limits.
The 30 days/1000 photos limit applies to the temporary storage in iCloud - the time you have to grab them and to import them. Once they are in an event, you have them safe.
So that leaves me to ask: what am I supposed to do with the photos on my phone? Just leave them there to eat up storage? Or delete them at some point? Delete all the photos on my phone after I import those that Photostream hadn't already captured?
Photo Stream is a handy feature for transmitting photos, but don't rely on it for permanent storage. If you ever have to reset your iPhone or reinstall your Mac, or to reset the photo stream, your photos from the stream may be gone. Keep always a copy of your photos either in the Camera roll on your phone or in iPhoto events on your mac, and make sure that these copies are regularly backed up.
As for the "truly duplicates" - Photo stream will send optimized versions to the devices, but to a mac the full original version. You may want to read the FAQ: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
