Collection representing a relation of arity two?

hi,
does anyone know of a Collection style class for representing a relation of arity two?
you would be able to search by either the LHS or RHS of each tuple of the relation
to give a better idea...Association assoc = new Association();
assoc.add("magnolia","tom cruise");
assoc.add("war of worlds", "tom cruise");
assoc.add("war of worlds", "tripods");
assoc.add("doctor who","tripods");
assoc.getRHS("doctor who"); // gets a set of things associated with "doctor who"
assoc.getLHS("tom cruise"); // gets a set of things associated with "tom cruise"the application i need this functionality for does not justify a database backend.. and before writing this thought i'd query if anyone else has one available?
thanks,
asjf

Use a Set for the values part of the key/value tuples and use two Maps:
one for the key/value directions and one for the value/key direction.
A bit of fiddling w.r.t. deletes and updates will do the rest.
kind regards,
Jos

Error while collecting Custom FlatFile related InfoCubes in CTS

Hi,
I am getting the error while collecting the FlatFile related custom InfoCube that the cube is not in the version A. I did checked that the cube is in the Active version i.e. Revised Version = Active Version; Object Status = Active, executable.
Any idea how to resovle this issue ?
Here is the information on the error message.....
Object 'PPY_C101' (CUBE) of type 'InfoCube' is not available in version 'A'

Collection sort of relation CMP field

can I sort collection of relation CMP field declarativly?
in orion-ejb-jar.xml?
now I can do it either in SessionBean code or by creation of one more method findByFK1 - additional work -((

I have one cmp ejb call 'R' with primary key id.
Another cmp ejb call 'RS' with primary key id as well. This RS suppose to represent status of the R record which one R record may have multiple status.
I added one cmp field from toplink workbench call 'status' under R and another cmp field call 'req' under RS. I did a one to many mapping on 'status' with reference descriptor RS bean. Then, I added another one to one mapping on 'req' with reference descriptor R bean.
I got the new ejb-jar.xml after saving the project with the new relationships. However I get the error (as described in previous posting) from ejbc.
My two attempts:
1) If I remove that 1:1 relationship, ejbc is ok but data cannot be retrieve properly.
2) I tried to remove the
<cmp-field>
<field-name>req</field-name>
</cmp-field>
manually from the ejb-jar.xml under 'RS' bean, ejbc is ok as well but again, data cannot be retrieved.
I looked at the demos provided by toplink 4.0 installation, apparently they were able to add a mapping without using 'add cmp field' (this function automaticaly generates the <cmp-field> tags..)

Relative positioning of two cross tabs.

I have two cross tabs. The first one is dynamic as the number of columns change based on user prompts. The second cross tab is fixed one column which is attached as the last column to the first cross tab.
When the columns of first cross tabs change, the second cross tabs column doesnot move across to fit as a last column i.e., there is no relative positioning between the cross tabs..
How do we achieve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Right click on the section where the two crosstabs placed and go to section expert and check the option "Relative Positions"

ITunes Closes And I Can Directly Relate It To Two Things

I had the problem before with opening itunes but now have shut off all the start ups and everything. It will run fine but after a certain amount of time two startup programs called wiqwyc and xhwx pop up in my startups as files i wont to have on and then my itunes closes. I have searched by the command name and am not able to find these two things. If i can find a way to turn these things off and stay off my itunes would work fine. ANY HELP IS THANKED.

Collecting data from advantech-usb4704 with two different apps at the same time

I wonder if I can access to Advantech-4704 with two different applications at the same time?
I use this block in my vis.
I have enough ports, but inputs are needed in completely different applications. Do I have to close one of them or can they run simultaneously?
Thankyou!

Dear gtu,
as nathand said, usually it is not supported to access the same physical resource simultaneously from multiple programs. In case of DAQmx for instance, you will get an error message which says that the resource is already reserved. I suppose the same would happen with your driver, however it might be worth a try.
One workaround could be however if you revise your applications and merge the codes if it is possible so that no concurent resource allocation takes place.

Usage of relative url across site collections in sharepoint 2010

Hi
I have a webapplication with 2 sitecollections. In one sitecollection, created a link by going to navigation under sitesettings.
Added relative url to map to 2nd site collection. Eg: /sites/site2/page1.aspx
But by doing so, it is giving error. Help me out how to give relative url pointing to different site collection from another sitecolleciton.
Thanks in advance
Naina

Say, Site Collection 1 URL: http://sitecollection1.domain.com/
Site Collection 2 URL : https://sitecollection2.domain.com/
Now, on "Site Collection 1", In Site Actions-->Site Settings-->Navigation, when you use "relative URLs", it will always refer to the current Site Collection i.e Relative URL "/sites/site2" will always be "http://sitecollection1.domain.com/sites/site2".
Anyways, what is the "requirement". What are you trying to solve by using "relative URL" for Site Collection 2 on Navigation of Site Collection 1. Reason for asking is, there might be different approach for your "requirement".

Drag & Relate between two BW reports

Hello together,
I want to implement the Drag&Relate functionality between two BW Reports via EP 6.0. I have configured the connection between Portal and BW with the report RSPOR_SETUP. The SingleSignOn and the import of business object is working well. After that, I took 2 BW testreports which were prepared for D&R. When I now drag the customernumber of report1 to the target report2, I get the error message "No relation found between the source and target business objects". The business object in both reports is 0CUSTOMER, so what relations should be set?
Where is the mistake, could anybody help me?
Thanks and regards.
Gerd Nedderhoff

Hi Gerd,
You have to link the two iviews. First double click the first iview. Then right click the second iview and make it as the target iview. Then in the navigation panel you see the other iview in the Drag and relate section.

How to create an relation between two block

Oracle forms 6i
Hai All
I have created a form in that i have four button ADD, QUERY, SAVE ,EXIT.
I have two block named Leader and members.
Four fields in leader block namely name , codeno, deptcode, unitid.
When i pressed query button and the cursor goes to name field in leader when i enter the name of leader and click
enter i gives the codeno, deptcode and unitid of the leader_name.
so now i have created another block in tabular structure to bring the members in the same deptcode that belongs to Leader_name.
So pls tell me the steps how to create the relation between these two blocks.
when i enter the leader_name and gives enter it needs to bring the codeno, deptcode, unitid and
I also need to gives the members in that deptcode..
Thanks In Advance
Srikkanth.M

If it is possible to create relationship with one table No.
Or
I have created a pre-Query in the detali block and my code is
set_block_property ('block_name', default_where, 'deptcode = (select deptcode from emplmaster where name like :block_in_which_leader_name.leader_name_field');BTW no need of joining here it can be solve by set the block's where clause as u said in ur earlier post above. Just changing the little bit this statement and then try.
If numeric
set_block_property ('block_name', default_where, 'deptcode = '||:block_in_which_leader_name.leader_name_field);
Otherwire
set_block_property ('block_name', default_where, 'deptcode = '''||:block_in_which_leader_name.leader_name_field||'''');-Ammad

Redesigning the Collections Framework

Hi!
I'm sort of an experienced Java programmer, in the sense that I program regularly in Java. However, I am not experienced enough to understand the small design specifics of the Collections Framework (or other parts of Javas standard library).
There's been a number of minor things that bugged me about the framework, and all these minor things added up to a big annoyance, after which I've decided to (try to) design and implement my own framework.
The thing is however, that since I don't understand many design specifics about the Collection Framework and the individual collection implementations, I risk coming up short with my own.
(And if you are still reading this, then I thank you for your time, because already now I know that this entry is going to be long. : ) )
Since I'm doing my Collection framework nearly from scratch, I don't have to worry too much about the issue of backwards compatibility (altough I should consider making some parts similar to the collection framework as it is today, and provide a wrapper that implements the original collection interfaces).
I also have certain options of optimizing several of the collections, but then again, there may be very specific design issues concerning performance and usability that the developers of the framework (or other more experienced Java progammers) knew about, that I don't know.
So I'm going to share all of my thoughts here. I hope this will start an interesting discussion : )
(I'm also not going to make a fuss about the source code of my progress. I will happily share it with anyone who is interested. It is probably even neccessary in order for others to understand how I've intended to solve my annoyances (or understand what these annoyances were in the first place). ).
(I've read the "Java Collections API Design FAQ", btw).
Below, I'm going to go through all of the things that I've thought about, and what I've decided to do.
1.
The Collections class is a class that consists only of static utility methods.
Several of them return wrapper classes. However the majority of them work on collections implementing the List interface.
So why weren't they built into the List interface (same goes for methods working only with the Collection interface only, etc)? Several of them can even be implemented more efficiently. For example calling rotate for a LinkedList.
If the LinkedList is circular, using a sentry node connecting the head and tail, rotate is done simply by relocating the sentry node (rotating with one element would require one single operation). The Collections class makes several calls to the reverse method instead (because it lacks access to the internal workings of a LinkedList).
If it were done this way, the Collections class would be much smaller, and contain mostly methods that return wrapped classes.
After thinking about it a while, I think I can answer this question myself. The List interface would become rather bloated, and would force an implementation of methods that the user may not need.
At any rate, I intend to try to do some sort of clean-up. Exactly how, is something I'm still thinking about. Maybe two versions of List interfaces (one "light", and the other advanced), or maybe making the internal fields package private and generally more accessible to other package members, so that methods in other classes can do some optimizations with the additional information.
2.
At one point, I realized that the PriorityQueue didn't support increase\decrease key operations. Of course, elements would need to know where in the backing data structure it was located, and this is implementation specific. However, I was rather dissapointed that this wasn't supported somehow, so i figured out a way to support this anyway, and implemented it.
Basically, I've wrapped the elements in a class that contains this info, and if the element would want to increase its key, it would call a method on the wrapping class it was contained in. It worked fine.
It may cause some overhead, but at least I don't have to re-implement such a datastructure and fiddle around so much with the element-classes just because I want to try something with a PriorityQueue.
I can do the same thing to implement a reusable BinomialHeap, FibonacciHeap, and other datastructures, that usually require that the elements contain some implementation-specific fields and methods.
And this would all become part of the framework.
3.
This one is difficult ot explain.
It basically revolves around the first question in the "Java Collections API Design FAQ".
It has always bothered me that the Collection interface contained methods, that "maybe" would be implemented.
To me it didn't make sense. The Collection should only contain methods that are general for all Collections, such as the contains method. All methods that request, and manipulate the Collection, belonged in other interfaces.
However, I also realized that the whole smart thing about the current Collection interface, is that you can transfer elements from one Collection to another, without needing to know what type of Collection you were transferring from\to.
But I still felt it violated "something" out there, even if it was in the name of convenience. If this convenience was to be provided, it should be done by making a separate wrapper interface with the purpose of grouping the various Collection types together.
If you don't know what I'm trying to say then you might have to see the interfaces I've made.
And while I as at it, I also fiddled with the various method names.
For example, add( int index, E element), I felt it should be insert( int index, E element). This type of minor things caused a lot of confusion for me back then, so I cared enough about this to change it to somthing I thought more appropriate. But I have no idea how appropriate my approach may seem to others. : )
4.
I see an iterator as something that iterates through a collection, and nothing else.
Therefor, it bothered me that the Iterator interface had an optional remove method.
I myself have never needed it, so maybe I just don't know how to appreciate it. How much is it used? If its heavily used, I guess I'm going to have to include it somehow.
5.
A LinkedList doesnt' support random access. But true random access is when you access randomly relative to the first index.
Iterating from the first to the last with a for statement isn't really random access, but it still causes bad performance in the current LinkedList implementation. One would have to use the ListIterator to achieve this.
But even here, if you want a ListIterator that starts in the middle of the list, you still need to traverse the list to reach that point.
So I've come up with LinkedList that remembers the last accessed element using the basic methods get, set, remove etc, and can use it to access elements relatively from it.
Basically, there is now an special interal "ListIterator" that is used to access elements when the basic methods are used. This gives way for several improvements (although that may depend how you look at it).
It introduces some overhead in the form of if-else statemenets, but otherwise, I'm hoping that it will generally outperform the current LinkedList class (when using lists with a large nr of elements).
6.
I've also played around with the ArrayList class.
I've implemented it in a way, that is something like a random-access Deque. This has made it possible to improvement certain methods, like inserting an element\Collection at some index.
Instead of always shifting subsequent element to the right, elements can be shifted left as well. That means that inserting at index 0 only requires a single operation, instead of k * the length of the list.
Again, this intrduces some overhead with if-else statements, but is still better in many cases (again, the List must be large for this to pay off).
7.
I'm also trying to do a hybrid between an ArrayList and a Linked list, hopefully allowing mostly constant insertion, but constant true random access as well. It requires more than twice the memory, since it is backed by both an ArrayList and a LinkedList.
The overhead introduced , and the fact that worst case random access is no better than that of a pure LinkedList (which occurs when elelements are inserted at the same index many times, and you then try to access these elements), may make this class infeasible.
It was mostly the first three points that pushed my over the edge, and made me throw myself at this project.
You're free to comment as much as you like.
If no real discussion starts, thats ok.
Its not like I'm not having fun with this thing on my own : )
I've started from scratch several times because of design problems discovered too late, so if you request to see some of the source code, it is still in the works and I would have to scurry off and add a lot of java-comments as well, to explain code.
Great. Thanks!

This sort of reply has great value : )
Some of them show me that I need to take some other things into consideration. Some of them however, aren't resolved yet, some because I'm probably misunderstanding some of your arguments.
Here goes:
1.
a)
Are you saying that they're were made static, and therefor were implemented in a utility class? Isn't it the other way around? Suppose that I did put them into the List interface, that would mean they don't need to be static anymore, right?
b)
A bloated List interface is a problem. Many of them will however have a default not-so-alwyas-efficient implementation in a abstract base class.
Many of the list-algorithms dump sequential lists in an array, execute the algorithm, and dump the finished list back into a sequential list.
I believe that there are several of them where one of the "dumps" can be avoided.
And even if other algorithms would effectively just be moved around, it wouldn't neccesarily be in the name of performance (some of them cannot really be done better), but in the name of consistency\convenience.
Regarding convenience, I'm getting the message that some may think it more convenient to have these "extra" methods grouped in a utility class. That can be arranged.
But when it comes to consistency with method names (which conacerns usability as well), I felt it is something else entirely.
For example take the two methods fill and replaceAll in the Collections class. They both set specific elements (or all of them) to some value. So they're both related to the set method, but use method names that are very distinguished. For me it make sense to have a method called setAll(...), and overload it. And since the List interface has a set method, I would very much like to group all these related methods together.
Can you follow my idea?
And well, the Collections class would become smaller. If you ask me, it's rather bloated right now, and supports a huge mixed bag of related and unrelated utitlity methods. If we should take this to the extreme, then The Collections class and the Arrays class should be merged.
No, right? That would be hell : )
2,
At a first glance, your route might do the trick. But there's several things here that aren't right
a)
In order to delete an object, you need to know where it is. The only remove method supported by PriorityQueue actually does a linear search. Increase and decrease operations are supposed to be log(n). Doing a linear search would ruin that.
You need a method something like removeAt( int i), where i would be the index in the backing array (assuming you're using an array). The elemeny itself would need to know that int, meaning that it needs an internal int field, even though this field only is required due to the internal workings of PriorityQueue. Every time you want to insert some element, you need to add a field, that really has nothing to with that element from an object-oriented view.
b)
Even if you had such a remove method, using it to increase\decrease key would use up to twice the operations neccesary.
Increasing a key, for example, only requires you to float the element up the heap. You don't need to remove it first, which would require an additional log(n) operations.
3.
I've read the link before, and I agree with them. But I feel that there are other ways to avoid an insane nr of interfaces. I also think I know why I arrive at other design choices.
The Collection interface as it is now, is smart because it can covers a wide range of collection types with add and remove methods. This is useful because you can exchange elements between collections without knowing the type of the collection.
The drawback is of course that not all collection are, e.g modifiable.
What I think the problem is, is that the Collection interface is trying to be two things at once.
On one side, it wants to be the base interface. But on the other side, it wants to cast a wide net over all the collection types.
So what I've done is make a Collection interface that is infact a true base interface, only supporting methods that all collection types have in common.
Then I have a separate interface that tries to support methods for exchanging elements between collections of unknown type.
There isn't neccesarily any performance benefit (actually, it may even introduces some overhead), but in certainly is easier to grasp, for me at least, since it is more logically grouped.
I know, that I'm basically challenging the design choices of Java programmers that have much more experience than me. Hell, they probably already even have considered and rejected what I'm considering now. In that case, I defend myself by mentioning that it isn't described as a possiblity in the FAQ : )
4.
This point is actually related to point 3., becausue if I want the Collection interface to only support common methods, then I can't have an Iterator with a remove method.
But okay....I need to support it somehow. No way around it .
5. 6. & 7.
The message I'm getting here, is that if I implement these changes to LinkedList and ArrayList, then they aren't really LinkedList and ArrayList anymore.
And finally, why do that, when I'm going to do a class that (hopefully) can simulate both anyway?
I hadn't thought of the names as being the problem.
My line of thought was, that okay, you have this arraylist that performs lousy insertion and removal, and so you avoid it.
But occasionally, you need it (don't ask me how often this type of situation arises. Rarely?), and so you would appreciate it if performed "ok". It would still be linear, but would often perform much better (in extreme cases it would be in constant time).
But these improvements would almost certainly change the way one would use LinkedList and ArrayList, and I guess that requires different names for them.
Great input. That I wouldn't have thought of. Thanks.
There is however some comments I should comment:
"And what happens if something is suibsequently inserted or removed between that element and the one you want?"
Then it would perform just like one would expect from a LinkedList. However if that index were closer to the last indexed position, it would be faster. As it is now, LinkedList only chooses either the first index or the last to start the traversal from.
If you're working with a small number of elements, then this is definitely not worth it.
"It sounds to me like this (the hybrid list) is what you really want and indeed all you really need."
You may be right. I felt that since the hybrid list would use twice as much memory, it would not always be the best choice.
I going to think about that one. Thanks.

Creating new Enterprise wiki site collection or creating a new subsite, or creating a new library

I have SharePoint 2013 web application, which has enterprise wiki site collection for our finance department. Now I need to create a new site for our HR department.
The two sites will differ in the following:-
Each department have different permission. For example each department have different users for who can approve, edit/create.
Each department will use different EnterpriseWiki page layout. As each department will have different wiki category columns (different site columns).
Also each department will use different metadata navigation.
The two sites will have the following in common:-
The same master page. Seatle.html.
So I can not determine which approach I should follow:-
To create a new enterprise wiki site collection for our HR department.
Create a new enterprise wiki library inside the current site collection representing the HR enterprise wiki.
To create a new subsite ?
Can anyone advice on these please? Thanks

Given that each will have different permissions I would go with a separate site collection. That will provide the best security basis. You could do it with a sub site, but it will be easier to maintain the security as a separate site
collection.

Please remember to mark your question as "answered" if this solves your problem.
Yes i know that having different permission & different page layouts will push toward creating separate site collections. but i found a major linking problem when using different site collections (i mean adding links which reference other site collections
pages), let take the following example:-
1. I have Site collection A & site collection B.
2. now inside SCA i create a new wiki page named "Test.aspx" page.
3. then inside SCA i add a link to this wiki page from another wiki page.
4. also inside SCB i also add a link to the Test.aspx page.
After that let say i modify the Test.asxp page name & title to be "NewTest.aspx" , which will affect the page URL which will be
http:.../NewTest.aspx/ instead of
http.../Test.aspx/. now inside SCA all the links to the old Test.aspx page will automatically updated to reference the NewTest.aspx so that the links will not break. but inside SCB pages, the links will not be modified and will keep referencing Test.asxp
which no more exists ... so can you advice please if there is a way to overcome this problem , and if i create sub-site representing Site collection B will this solve the problem ?

Issue in BI Objects collection into Transport Request

Hi Experts
I am experincing a Issue in collecting Infocube and related objects into a transport requests using transport connection.
My Scenario is as explained below
1.Migrated 3.x Dataflow into BI 7.0 Dataflow
2.Dataflow consists Infocube -->DSO (two separate DSO) --> Infosource (only 1) --> Datasource (from 2 different Source systems)
I have manually captured all my objects into a transport requests. i.e while activation.
The issue is when I try to use transport connection on this infocube with "Dataflow before" & Automatic collection options.
I am getting the below mentioned error.
Object '4C3C4WGBCRK9UWKNDGGYNKDNA' (ROUT) of type 'Routine' is not available in version 'A'
Message no. RSO252
Diagnosis
You wanted to generate an object with the name '4C3C4WGBCRK9UWKNDGGYNKDNA' (in transport request ROUT) of type 'Routine' (TLOGO). This is, however, not available in the BW Repository database. It does not exist in the requested version A. If the version is 'D' then it is possible that an error arose during the delivery or installation. If the version is 'A' then the Object was either not created or not activated.
System Response
The object was not taken into account in the next stage of processing.
I am sure that all my objects are collected into transport requests & I checked the object entry of all the dataflow objects..
Appreciate your valuable inputs on this.
Thank you in advance
PKC

In that case, pls ignore my prevoius post...
The issue is when I try to use transport connection on this infocube with "Dataflow before" & Automatic collection options.
With this option, system should have collected the related routines. Did u expand routine node, and check (ON) the check box for that routine ???
(Once all objects got collected, now from the right most window, expand each node (application, infoarea, routines etc) and put checkbox 'ON' (checked) to ONLY the objects (routine 4C3C4WGBCRK9UWKNDGGYNKDNA' ) u want to transport. Once u r done with that, click on Transport (truck Icon) and enter package name, if system prompts.)
