CLI question (regarding Amazon and mainly AMEX)

My credit had been doing great until a few weeks ago when I faced an emergency. In 2 weeks, I went from around 2% utilization to over 35% (once my new balances begin to report). I'm paying down the balance on each card as fast as I can but it's going to take a while. My scores have already begun taking a hit but are all still above 700 (checked earlier). I'm a couple weeks away from my 4th statement from Amazon which was to be my cue to request a CLI. However, I'm worried that my scores will continue to drop by then. I was really hoping that a couple of CLIs in conjunction with large payments would help my utilization and soften the hits my scores have been talking. My payment history is perfect right now and will continue to be perfect. My issue right now is my utilization. Should I expect a definite denial regarding my CLI request? Is it even worth an attempt? Right now, any cushion would be helpful while I pay these balances down. And more importantly, I'll be reaching my 180th day since my last AMEX CLI in about 2 months. I currently have a balance of $4k on a $6k limit due to my emergency. I'll be paying off $2k of the balance before this current statement closes and probably another $1k by the end of the next statement. I'm not sure that I'll be able to pay off the last $1k before my 180th day. I heard AMEX doesn't care for carrying a balance when you request a CLI. If that's the case, is my second 3x CLI potentially doomed?

No telling for certain. All we can really say is that the CLI you're eligible for depends on your credit and income and that revolving utilization is a significant factor. If you want the best possible odds then get your utilization as low as possible and make sure that the rest of your profile is in the best possible shape. Ares19 wrote:
I heard AMEX doesn't care for carrying a balance when you request a CLI.That's an oversimplified generalization that gets parroted a lot around here. Both my BCP and TE were carrying balances when they received their CLI's. Again, it's about one's credit and income as it is with any creditor. Balances play a part they're factored into utilization. There are many other factors at play that all matter. Worst case is you get a denial, reason(s) and have 90 days to try again. It's not the end of the world.

Question regarding roaming and data usage

I am currently out of my main country of service, and as such I have a question regarding roaming and data usage.
I am told that the airplane mode is sufficient from keeping the phone off from roaming, but does this apply to any background data usage for applications and such?
If the phone is in airplane mode, are all use of the phone including wifi and application use through the wifi outside of all extra charges from roaming?

Ann154 wrote:
If you are getting charged to use the wifi, then it is possible. Otherwise no
Just to elaborate here, Ann154 is referring to access charges for wifi, which is nothing to do with Verizon, so if you are using it in a plane, hotel, an internet cafe etc that charges for Wifi rather than being free . Verizon does not charge you (or indeed know about!) wifi usage, or any other usage that is not on their cellular network (such as using a foreign SIM for example in global phones) So these charges, if any, will not show up on the verizon bill app. Having it in airplane mode prevents all cellular data traffic so you should be fine

Question regarding MM and FI integration

Hi Experts
I have a question regarding MM and FI integration
Is the transaction Key in OMJJ is same as OBYC transaction key?
If yes, then why canu2019t I see transaction Key BSX in Movement type 101?
Thanks

No, they are not the same. The movement type transaction (OMJJ) links the account key and account modifier to a specific movement types. Transaction code (OBYC) contains the account assignments for all material document postings, whether they are movement type dependent or not. Account key BSX is not movement type dependent. Instead, BSX is dependent on the valuation class of the material, so it won't show in OMJJ.
thanks,

**question regarding 3G and wif**.

I have a question regarding 3G and wifi. I have #G activated as well as wifi, when I go to retrieve mail for example I get a pop up asking me if I want to connect to a wifi network…should I have wifi and 3G activated at the same time, and why am I getting the pop up…
Thanks

You can have them on at the same time, but they will not be used at the same time for data. The order of preference for data is WiFi > 3G > EDGE > GPRS. You're getting the pop up, most likely, because you have Settings > Wi-Fi > Ask to Join Networks set to ON. You can set that to OFF, and the iPhone will still join known (i.e. previously used) WiFi networks automatically.

Question regarding Dashboard and column prompt

My question regarding Dashboard and column prompt:
1) Dashboard prompt usually work with only for columns which are in subject area. In my report I've created some of the columns which are based on other columns. Like I've daysNumber column that is based on two other columns, as it calculates the difference of two dates. When I create dashboard prompt I can't find this column there. I need to make a prompt on this column.
2)For one of the column I've only two values 1 and 0. When I create prompt for this column, is it possible that in drop down list It shows 'Yes' for 1 and 'No' for 0 and still filter the request??

Hi Toony,...
I think there was another way of doing this...
In the dashboard prompt go to Show option > select SQL Results from dropdown.
There you need to write your Logical SQL like...
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN PERIODS.YEAR ELSE difference of date functionality END FROM SubjectAreaName
Here.. Periods.Year is the column which is already exists in repository's presentation layer..
and difference of date functionality is the code or formula of column which you want to show in drop-down...
Also write the CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN PERIODS.YEAR ELSE difference of date functionality END code in fx of that prompt.
I think it helps you in doing this..
Just check and inform me if it works...
Thanks & Regards

Question regarding homehub and Open reach router -...

Hi all,
I had infinity installed earlier this month and am happy with it so far. I do have a few questions regarding the service and hardware though.
I run both my BT openreach router and BT Home hub from the same power socket. The problem is, if I turn the plug on so both the Homehub and Openreach Router start up at the same time, the home hub will never get an Internet connection from the router. To solve this I have to turn the BT home hub on first and leave it for a minute, then start the router up and it all works fine. I'm just curious if this is the norm or do I have some faulty hardware?
Secondly, I appreciate the estimated speed BT quote isn't always accurate, I was quoted 49mbits down but received 38mbits down - Which I was happy with. Recently though it has dropped to 30. I am worried this might continue to drop over time. and as of present I am 20mbits down on the estimate . For the record 30mbits is actually fine and probably more than I would ever need. If I could boost it some how though I would be interested to hear from you.
Thanks, .

Just a clarification: the two boxes are the HomeHub (router, black) and the modem (white). The HomeHub has its own power switch, the modem doesn't.
There is something wrong if the HomeHub needs to be turned on before the modem. As others have said, in general best to leave the modem on all the time. You should be able to connect them up in any order, or together. (For example, I recently tripped the mains cutout, and when I restored power the modem and HomeHub went on together and everything was ok).
Check if the router can connect/disconnect from the broadband using the web interface. Leaving the modem and HomeHub on all the time, go to http://192.168.1.254/ on a browser on a connected computer, and see whether the Connect/Disconnect button works.

Question Regarding MIDI and Sample Accuracy

Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding MIDI.
1. MIDI is moved by ticks. In the arrange window however, you can move a region by samples. When doing this, you can move within values of the ticks (which you can see on your position box that pops up) Now, will this MIDI note actually be played back at that specific sample point, or will it round the event to the closest tick? (example, if I have a MIDI note directly on 1.1.1.1, and I move the REGION in the arrange... will that MIDI note now fall on the sample that I have moved the region to, or will it be rounded to the closest tick?)
2. When making a midi template from an audio region, will the MIDI information land exactly on the sample of the transient, or will it be rounded to the closest tick?
I've looked through the manual, and couldn't find any specific answer to these questions.
Thanks!
Message was edited by: Matthew Usnick

Ok, I've done some experimenting, and here are my results.
I believe those numbers ARE samples. I came to this conclusion by counting (for some reason it starts on 11) and cutting a region to be 33 samples long (so, minus 11, is 22 actual samples). I then went to the Audio Bin window, and chose to view region length as samples. And there it said it: 22 samples. So, you can in fact move MIDI regions by samples!
Second, I wanted to see if the MIDI notes in the region itself would be quantized to the nearest tick. I cut a piece of audio, so it had a 1 sample attack (zoomed in asa far as I could in the sample editor, selected the smallest portion, and faded in, and made the start point, the region start position). I saved the region as a new audio file, and loaded it up in the exs sampler.
I then made a MIDI region, with and triggered the sample on beat 1 (quantized, on the money). I then went into the arrange window, made a fixed cycle length, and bounced the audio. I then moved the MIDI region by one sample to the right. I did this 22 times (which is the number of samples in a tick, at 120, apparently). After bouncing all of these (cycle position remained fixed, only the MIDI region was moving) I imported all the audio into the arrange on new tracks, and YES!!! The sample start was cascaded by a sample each time!
SO.
Not only can you move MIDI regions by sample, but the positions are NOT quantized to Logics ticks!
This is very good news, and glad I worked this out!
(if anyone thinks this sounds wrong, please correct me, but I'm pretty sure I proved it, in my test)

Question regarding battery and warranty

Hi all! I have a quick question about how and if my warranty applies to my battery. After about a year and a half of ownership (I have the three-year extended warranty), my battery has gone completely down the toilet. It wasn't a problem before, but this year I have to lug my T61p around a lot for lab work. My battery is now rated at... 39.75Wh when it shipped at 84.24Wh. This is a pretty drastic difference. In any case, I don't think that this is covered by warranty, but figured that I'd ask before I drop $180 on a new battery (ouch). And, speaking of, if my suspicions are correct, does anybody know where I might find a 9-cell battery for the T61p? All I'm seeing on Lenovo's website is the one for the N100... which doesn't... match very well. Yaknow.
Thanks a lot!
ThinkPad T61p [June 2008]: 2.5Ghz Penryn Core 2 Duo, 4GB DDR2 RAM, NVidia Quadro FX 570m 256MB, 160GB 7200RPM Fujitsu HDD, 1920x1200 WUXGA Matte LCD, Windows 7 RC1

Is either of these appropriate? I'm wary of the one on Amazon, as there are other (off-brand) batteries that are advertised as being Lenovo ones (though those generally sell for a lower price). The other one just looks like I'll have to call up to buy it.

Question regarding IWDTree and context Value Node naming

Hi,
I have a question regarding the IWDTree / IWDTreeNodeType components.
I have a context looking like this:
Context
+ ResponseNode
    + PersonNode (1..1)
      + PersonAddressNode                    (empty node, placeholder)
      | + AdresNode (0..n)
      + PersonChildNode                      (empty node, placeholder)
      | + PersonNode (0..n)
      |   + PersonAddressNode                (empty node, placeholder)
      |     + AddressNode (0..n)
      + PersonParentsNode                    (empty node, placeholder)
        + PersonNode (0..n)
          + PersonAddressNode                (empty node, placeholder)
            + AddressNode (0..n)
The context represents a person, a person's address, and a person's children and parents with their respective addresses.
As a result, on different branches, a PersonNode and AddressNode can appear.
And for some strange reason, all PersonNodes and AddressNodes link to the same ResponseNode.PersonNode.PersonParentsNode.PersonNode and ResponseNode.PersonNode.PersonParentsNode.PersonNode.PersonAddressNode.AddressNode respectively, irregardless of their branch...
Is it illegal to have multiple PersonNode and AddressNode node names, and should they be named uniquely?

Generally, node names need to be unique inside the context, attributes in different nodes can have same names. I wonder if the context structure you described will result in code without compile errors.
The WD Tree can only be used with recursive context nodes or with a hierarchy of non-singleton child nodes.
Can you give an example how your tree should look like at runtime?

Question regarding selectOneMenu and PROCESS_VALIDATIONS(3) phase

Hi im a bit lost regarding selectOneMenu and how validation phase all works together.
The thing is that i have a simple selectOneMenu
<h:form id="SearchForm">
 <h:panelGrid columns="3" border="0">
 <h:outputLabel id="caseTypeText" value="#{msg.searchCaseCaseType}" for="caseType" />
 <h:selectOneMenu id="caseType" value="#{searchCaseBean.caseType}" style="width: 200px;" binding="#{searchCaseBean.caseTypeSelect}">
 <f:selectItem itemValue="" itemLabel="#{msg.CommonTextAll}" />
 <f:selectItems value="#{searchCaseBean.caseTypes}" />
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 <h:message for="caseType" styleClass="errorMessage" />
 <h:panelGroup />
 <h:panelGroup />
 <h:commandButton action="#{searchCaseBean.actionSearch}" value="#{msg.buttonSearch}" />
 </h:panelGrid>
</h:form>Now when i hit submit button i can see that the bean method searchCaseBean.caseTypes (used in the <f:selectItems> tag) is executed in the PROCESS_VALIDATIONS(3) phase. How come? I dont whant this method to be executed in phase 3, only in phase 6.
If i add the this in the method if (FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getRenderResponse())
public List<SelectItem> getStepStatuses(){
 List<CaseStep> caseSteps = new ArrayList<CaseStep>();
 if (FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getRenderResponse()) {
 caseSteps = getCaseService().getCaseStep(value);
 List<SelectItem> selectItems = new ArrayList<SelectItem>(caseSteps.size());
 for(int i=0; i < caseSteps.size(); i++){
 CaseStep step = caseSteps.get(i);
 String stepStatus = step.getStatus() + "_" + step.getSubStatus();
 selectItems.add(new SelectItem(stepStatus, step.getShortName()));
 return selectItems;
} Now i get a validation error (javax.faces.component.UISelectOne.INVALID) for the select field and only phase1, phase2, phase 3 and phase 6 is executed.
Im lost?

Few questions regarding Training and event management

Dear All,
Can you please help me with the following queries regarding Training and Event Management:
1. How to freeze a completed business event so that no changes to its record (like delete/update attendee details or event detail) is possible?
2. How to get feedback from attendee/faculty with a predefined format with rating (1-4 scale)
3. How to maintain department and category wise training man/hrs or training man/days?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Toa

Hi Toa,
1. Run report RHHISTO0 via SA38. Once the business event is flagged as "historical" no further changes can be done.
3. SM30 - T77S0 - Make the following swtiches active:
SEMIN AINST
SEMIN APART
Then when events are followed up, these training data is recorded to employee 2002 infotype. You can report on it via PT90 (for department-based selection use "Further selections")

Dilek

Question regarding RV016 and subnetting

I am fairly new to subnetting and have been reading up on it a little bit. What I want to do however seems to be fairly simple so I am hoping someone can help me out here. On my RV016 I have created a subnet of 192.168.8.x with SNM of 255.255.255.0. I can connect mac computers and configure them with addresses of 192.168.8.2 192.168.8.3 etc and they can get to the net, as well as talk to computers that are configured with192.168.1.x addresses, this is perfect and the behavior I want to acheive. Essentially I am simply looking to segment out subnets and catagorize hardware devices per subnet, so one subnet houses wifi, perhaps one for servers, one for workstations, one for printers etc etc. However, when I try this with a windows machine (tested using XP as well as W7) and configure it as a 192.168.8.x device, they can communicate to the RV016 router fine, go out to the internet, but they cannot see/talk to any of the networked devices that reside on 192.168.1.x. I can ping the 192.168.8.x windows machines from other mac machines on 192.168.1.x without any delay. (I can even connect to them via IP address SMB protocol, but they do not show up when browsing.) If I put the windows machines back to the main subnet of 192.168.1.x, they can see/talk to all networked devices fine. Is there a way to configure the windows machines so they can be on their own subnet and still communicate to the other devices? Originally I enabled and tested this with the mac devices and it has been working great but I have run into a roadblock now with the behavior from the Windows machines. I appreciate any help/assistance. Thank you.
So basically I want (using my RV016):
subnets:
192.168.1.x / 255.255.255.0
192.168.2.x / 255.255.255.0
192.168.3.x / 255.255.255.0
192.168.4.x / 255.255.255.0
192.168.5.x / 255.255.255.0
192.168.6.x / 255.255.255.0
192.168.7.x / 255.255.255.0
etc.
to be able to all talk to each other. This allows me to utilize and organize more ranges of ip addressing for new and growing hardware devices, at least that is the intent.

Question Regarding Name and Address Clensing

Hello,
Can someone help me with understanding the Name and Address Cleansing operatior of OWB.
I am currently using OWB Client 9.2.0.2.8
Before using the Name and Address operator should you do any configuration for it to function? Based on the viewlet which i tried there were no configuration steps and once i finished doing the steps in the demo there were rows inserted but with *null data.
Is Trillium packaged with the OWB or should you still purchase it?
Thank You

Thank you for the information Mark, I still have another question.
Here is my situation:
I have been tasked to integrate a 3rd party DQ ventor to the name and address cleansing operator of OWB. In relation to that I have downloaded the OracleAdaptorKit provided by Oracle for such development. The problem is I still dont really understand how the whole thing works. My understanding is that once you use the Name and Address operator in a Map and execute the it OWB will call the Name and Address Server which will trigger the Adaptor (which should be created by the vendor or me in this case) that will do the Parse() function based on the libraries of the 3rd party DQ vendor. Is my understanding correct?
My second question is on how will the Name and Address Engine call the Adaptor(JAVA applet?) which will use the Parse() function and what are the values that Name and Address Engine throw to the Adaptor? And how will you know if you have successfully created a connection between the Name and Address Engine and the Adaptor you created?
My third question is in regards to the components to be created. So given that the Name and Address Engine is by default installed with OWB does that mean that the only thing left to program are the Adaptor and Libraries?
I hope you can help me, Thank You

Question regarding iPhone4 and iTunes issue

I posted this on iPhone main forum and no response- i am hoping that someone can shed some light for me...would be much appreciated
ok- so, i have an existing iTunes account (current version 9.2)- i previously had ONE device attached to it- my 3Gs that i upgraded to my iP4 with.
I did not wipe my 3Gs- as i sent it to my daughter who placed her SIM from her 3G into it- HOWEVER, since activating my iP4 the only phone that has been synched to my iTunes is the new iP4- i was able to transfer all of my 90 apps- FINE- but i have an issue with my audiobooks-I keep getting this message when i try to put any of my audiobooks onto my iP4:
"THE PHONE "JILL...." IS SYNCED WITH ANOTHER ITUNES LIBRARY. DO YOU WANT TO ERASE THIS IPHONE AND SYNC WITH THIS ITUNES LIBRARY? AN IPHONE CAN BE SYNCED WITH ONLY ONE (1) iTUNES LIBRARY AT A TIME. ERASING AND SYNCING REPLACES THE CONTENTS OF THIS iPHONE WITH THE CONTENTS OF THIS LIBRARY"
ummm, my question is: A) What other Library might they be referring to? It syncs fine on this one and only iTunes account i have had for years- B) i am concerned WHAT exactly will be erased and replaced??? What is the point of this message if the APPS on the phone are from my one and only library?
I originally thought that maybe i was getting this message because all of the audiobooks had been previously loaded onto my 3Gs and i did not care- as i had already listened to them. BUT I just paid $26 for a new audiobook from iTunes and want it on my iP4- and it STILL gives me this message...
ANYONE?

Do you have more than one user account in iTunes?
Sounds like you are logged into another account, one different from what you originally synced with.
