What's the earliest version of iTunes to include the playnext and add to play next feature when right clicking a song?

What's the earliest version of iTunes to include the play next and add to play next feature when right clicking a song?

I started out with version 11 and loved it right up to the latest update.
I'm beyond my partying days so DJ has nothing for me but I realy loved the drop down with "what's next", the "play next" and the "add to play next" feature and best of all "SHOW DUPLICATES".
I have an eclectic taste in music and a very extensive music collection to go with it. The "show duplicates" feature allowed me to shrink my library by well ove 1,000 songs and eliminated hearing the same song several times when playing randomly. ie, I have the complete Rolling Stones collection and was able to get rid of no fewer than 7 coppies of "Satisfaction".
With all the duplicates lined up you can sample each one and avoid deleting different versions also.
I'm eagerly waitng for the next update to see if my problems with 11 will be fixed. The current update drops out sections of songs (Whipping Post by the Alman Bros. was over in 3 minutes) and I tried repairing and a complete uninstall, reinstall to no avail.

Access List and Conflict Resolution Problem!

My configuration for Allow and Deny is not allowing me to load images and CSS files through the gateway on a URLScraper channel.
I'm trying to figure out how to control access to resources using the Access List service, and I'm running into trouble. The Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 Administrator's Guide (Doc 816-6421-10) states:
Setting the Conflict Resolution Level
You can set the priority level for the dynamic attributes. If a user inherits multiple attribute templates, say from an organization and a role assignment, and there is a template conflict between the attributes in the two templates, the template with the highest priority is inherited. There are seven settings available ranging from Highest to Lowest.
See the Administration Guide, iPlanet Directory Server Access Management Edition for more details on conflict resolution.
Unfortunately the referenced Adminstration Guide for DSAME contains exactly 0 occurances of the word "conflict" in its 136 pages, so that reference was less than helpful. Chapter 17 of that document (Doc 816-5620-10) describes URL Policy Agent Attributes, which sheds some light on what the URL Deny and URL Allow settings mean. The key sentence is, "An empty Deny list will allow only those resources that are allowed by the Allow list."
So, I've set up my Access List services as follows:
o URL Deny is blank on all Access Lists
o URL Allow set as follows
---- isp
------- http://portal.acme.com/portal/* (company name changed to protect the guilty!)
---- acme.com organization
------- Conflict Resolution: Highest
------- http://portal.acme.com/portal/* (same as above)
---- Acme Customers Role - shared role for all Acme customers
------- Conflict Resolution: Medium
------- http://www.acme.com/*
------- http://support.acme.com/*
------- http://support2.acme.com/*
---- RoadRunner role - specific role for a specific customer
------- Conflict Resolution: Medium
------- http://roadrunnerinfo.acme.com/*
The Desktop services in each of the above two roles includes channels from the hosts in the URL Allow lists.
The behavior I'm seeing with this configuration is that the desktop channels include information from the scraped HTML, and the URLs are rewritten for the included images and CSS files and such. However, the gateway is denying access to the images referenced by the rewritten URL. That is, an image with a URL of https://portal.acme.com/http://roadrunnerinfo.acme.com/images/green.gif shows up as a broken image on the desktop. Attempting to access the URL to the image directly results in an "Access to this resource is denied !! Contact your administrator" error message.
If I set the conflict resolution on the acme.corp organization to Medium (or anything lower than the two role conflict resolution levels) results in the same error message as soon as the customer logs in (no desktop rendered). The same error occurs if I set the conflict resolution in the two roles to Highest (same as the top level organization), again with no desktop rendered on login.
If I put all the above referenced URLs in the acme.com organization Access List service, then I am successfully able to fetch all the resources (images, CSS, etc.) in the URLScraper HTML. Likewise if I put "*" in that Access List. However, this is less than ideal, as it would potentially allow other customers to view data that isn't theirs (Wile E. Coyote user should not be able to get to Road Runner data, and vice versa, and neither one of them should get at Acme private information!).
So, what am I doing wrong? Also, does anyone have any leads on where I can read up on how Access Lists and conflict resolution are supposed to work, since Sun neglected to include a valid reference in the Administrator's Guide, Portal Server 6.0 SRA?
Thanks!
-matt

Did you ever get anywhere with this. My experiments seem to inidicate that you cannot successfully combine Access and Deny directives, across roles or organizational defaults and a role.

Merge/Refresh Workspace: Question concerning conflict resolution

hi!
thank's so far for answering our last question,now another question popped up during developing :)
we now have a state with our application where the user can select which objects to merge/refresh and finally commit these changes.
if there have been any conflicts he had to select a resolve operation for them. so far so good.
now, our method that performs the merging looks (no surprise) something like that: (the numbers are markers, used later on)
(1)
beginResolve();
do a few resolveConflicts();
(*) commit;
commitResolve();
(2)
(3)
do_merge/refresh_operations_of_death_in_correct_order();
(4)
ok, first question is concerning the line with the (*).
it seems we cannot call commitResolve() when there is an open transaction? as we run a spring managed application we first had it that way, that all of the above lines were executed within on transaction (that is, the complete merge/refresh operation going from (1) to (4)).
that didn't work, as we got exceptions on commitResolve(), that there is an open database transaction. is that because of the transaction wrapping the complete method? or did we do something else wrong?
now we split the method in two parts: one for the conflict resolution ((1) to (2) and one for the rest ((3) to (4)), both running within a transaction now. that works.
however, I feel a little bit unsafe with that, questions are:
if the first part runs in an own transaction and is commited: does the commitResolve() actually write data? or is that just something temporary on a per-session base? because, if something fails in the second part ((3) to (4)) then the transaction of that part of course rolls back fine, but the result of the conflict resolve part is probably still there? could we then, somewhere in the exception handling of the second transaction, call rollbackResolve()? or does it always have to happen within a conflict resolution session, that means, within (1) to (2)? the docs state the latter, but we're not really sure.
if something fails for whatever reason during the actual merge/refresh part, we need to make sure, that everything is rolled back to the state before
starting the whole process. it would be very dangerous to have some resolved conflicts hanging around that get merged/refreshed sometime later when the user doesn't even think about them.
btw, we also found the docs a bit inconsistent concerning conflict resolution. at some point it is explained, that after calling the resolveConflicts() a commit is needed, at another point this is left out and it is said, that one would just need to call commitResolve() afterwards and THEN a commit. it seems only the first explanation is correct (with another commit after the commitResolve()).
so, if you could clarify a bit on how a conflict resolution + merge/refresh session should look like concerning the management and scope of transactions, that would be really of great help and highly appreciated! the first tests worked fine with the way we have it working right now, but we always feel like there's a huge pitfall hiding somewhere ;)
best regards,
Andreas

Hi Ben,
after your explanation I agree. As the workspaces only carry the difference information of course there actually is no data in the child workspace if the object has been deleted in the parent.
I guess for the first we should not display this object to the user except when he's attempting to do a refresh, but not for a merge (or the other way round if the delete was done in the
child and NC in parent).
We didn't realize there is a rollbackTable with a WHERE clause, quite nice! Still, nothing practicable for us as we can't really know when a user might want to undo a delete and thus
which savepoint to use.
Reinserting would work, yes. We even tried that once for another scenario. Though in our case it would be important that the object also gets the same PK again, which is possible but still
feels like an ugly hack :-) Anyway, back to topic.
For the second scenario I was unfortunately mixing some WM and our users' terminology, thus it was not 100% clear. Sorry for that. What I meant was the following:
1) create new object in child
2) merge this object to parent
2a) DIFF is clear now, everything OK
3) goto parent workspace, new object is there
4) modify the new object there
5) goto child workspace again
6) open differences-viewer of our application <- here I wrote the users do a refresh, I meant they are >planning< to do a refresh, but not actually did it yet
OK, at point 6) we now get the diff information from the DIFF view and have an U for the parent and an I for the child. After your explanations and thinking over it some time we realized, that
this of course is totally correct: the last change in the parent was the update, the last change in the child the insert.
As the current version of our differences-viewer more or less displays the information from the DIFF-views in a straight way, the user now sees, that the object was updated in parent and new/inserted in child,
because those are the last operations for this row in both of the workspaces. That's what I meant is not intuitive, especially if they did not do all the operations themselves like in our small example and within
the timespan of 2 minutes.
It seems, we have to build some more abstraction around our current process?
To us it seems there are two solutions to this "problem", correct us if we oversee something:
1) currently synchronization within our application is directional, so either merge or refresh (except for conflict resolution, where the user might also want to decide to keep the object from the target workspace)
Thus we simply can ignore the DiffCode for the target workspace, except for conflicts, where we easily get the information from the CONF views
EDIT: no, we cannot simply ignore the target diffcode :( After some more thinking we have the same problem as with a real bidirectional synchronization process.
2) on the long run we actually planned to provide a bidirectional merge-tool to the user. In that case it's not that easy, as there is no single target workspace.
We didn't go into details yet, but probably we would need to retrieve further information, like e.g. the change timestamps for the DIFF rows for child and parent?
Then we could see what was actually the last change and display only that (except for U/U conflicts, but then again we get that information from the CONF view)
Any hints on how to do something like that the best way?
EDIT: We think it boils down to the question: how can we know, which parts of the DIFF have already been handled in a merge/refresh before and which haven't?
And another question, this time concerning the original topic: conflict resolution.
Is it possible in some way to ignore conflicts during a merge or refresh? Our users will definitely need that. The only idea we came up with yet would be again to use a savepoint (as you suggested
already concerning error rollback), that is have a savepoint (e.g. for the last time the workspace was synchronized) and then "fake resolve" the conflict (use CHILD with resolveconflicts) but do not
include the row in the following mergeTable() call. After merging has succeeded, use rollbackTable() for that row to the previous savepoint. Would that work?
Thanks again and regards,
Andreas Schilling

Hot Synch Manager Settings (Conflict Resolution)

Hello,
I synch an office desktop and a home desktop with one Palm Z22. I have had a lot of problems with duplicate appointments ! How should I configure the Hot Sync Manager settings? I have the conduits (calendar, note pad, etc. ) set on "synchonize the files". But when I click on "change" and then "settings", I'm brought to the option of "Conflict Resolution" and the choices are duplicate, Outlook wins, Handheld wins, or ignore. Which should I choose if I want to avoid duplicate appointments ?
Thank you.

Conflicts resolution methods in Oracle Lite

Can anyone please provide the answers of the following questions?
1_What Methods are used for Conflict detection and resolution for concurrent updates by multiple clients in Oracle lite databases?
2_ Is there any method that extract semantic relation from the concurrent update transactions and create a global update schedule?
3_ Does oracle lite use conflict avoidance mechanism?
4_ What replication method is used by Oracle Lite Database?

In terms of conflict resolution with oracle lite, which end do you mean? conflict resolution in the client database (ie: oracle lite) or on the server side when processing client uploads (this is just a standard oracle database), also not sure what you are trying to achieve
*1_What Methods are used for Conflict detection and resolution for concurrent updates by multiple clients in Oracle lite databases?*
I assume in the following that you are talking about dealing with uploads
Depending on how the publication items are defined, the process is quite different.
a) fast refresh publication items
When the client synchronises, the upload data is uploaded as a packed binary file which is then unpacked and inserted into in queue tables in the mobileadmin repsitory (table names begin CFM$ followed by the publication item name). This is the only action that happens during the actual sync process.
A second and independent process, not linked to the actual synchronisation - the MGP process, runs on the mobile server, and this has three phases - apply, process logs and compose that run one after the other. You can set the MGP to only do the apply phase, or all three.
during the apply phase the data in the in queue tables for a particular user/transaction will be applied to the server database. Normally the MGP process is set to have three threads (this can be changed, but three is the default), and therefore three client uploads will be processed in parallel, but each of these threads is independant of the others and therefore should be seen as seperate transactions.
It should be noted that even if you have 50 or 100 users synchronising concurrently, only three upload sets will be processed at any one time, and almost certainly a period of time after the synchronisation has completed (may be many hours depending on the MGP cycle time)
As each of the apply threads is a seperate transaction, there is no concept of concurrency built in, and the only conflict resolution by default is based on the server wins/client wins setting of the publication item. where multiple users are updating the the same server record with 'client wins', the first user will update the data, and then the next user will update the data (just a repeat of the previous one). NOTE also that in the case of an update, ALL columns in the record are updated, there is no column level update.
There are customisation options available to provide finer grained control over the apply process, look at the PLSQL callback packages registered against each publication item for beforeapply, afterapply, beforetranapply and aftertranapply, Apply DML procedures against the publication items and also the CUSTOMIZE package at the MGP level
b) complete refresh publication items
where the publication as a whole has a mixture of fast and complete refresh publication items, these normally work in the same way as the fast refresh described above. Where however you just have complete refresh items the data MAY be written directly to the server table on upload
c) queue based publication items
These work in realtime, rather than with a delay for the MGP process to pick up the data.
When the user synchronises, the uploaded data is is written to the in queue tables in the same way, but when this is completed, a package (defined as part of the publication definition) is called, and the procedure upload_complete is run passing in the user and transaction identifiers. This package needs to be hand crafted, but you have full control over what and how all of the uploaded data is processed, but again this is a single transaction for that user. If you want to look at other sessions running, you need to find a way to implement this.
*2_ Is there any method that extract semantic relation from the concurrent update transactions and create a global update schedule?*
As noted above, the uploads may be processed in parallel, but they are seperate transactions, so no built ins
*3_ Does oracle lite use conflict avoidance mechanism?*
Only the basic oracle stuff, unless you use the customisation options to write your own
*4_ What replication method is used by Oracle Lite Database?*
The different types of publication items select data from the server database for download in different ways
a) fast refresh
change logging tables and triggers are created in the server database. These are scanned during the MGP process logs phase to determine what changes have happened since the last MGP compose, and what publication items they affect. The MGP compose then runs and this uses the same three threads to process the users in alphabetical order using the change keys to populate data in out queue tables (prefixed CMP$) in the repository. These have the PK values for the data, plus a transaction types (insert/update/delete). All the MGP process does is populate these out queue tables.
When the user synchronises, the data in the out queue tables is used as a key list to extract the data from the actual server tables into a packed binary file, and this is sent to the client.
b) complete refresh
there is no pre-preparation in this case, the data is streamed directly from the server database into the packed binary download file
c) queue based items
in real time when the user is synchronising after the apply has been done by the uploade_complete procedure, a second procedure download_init is called. Within this you have to code the data extract, and MUST populate tables (you also need to create them) CTM$<publication item name> these are effectively out queue tables, but contain all of the data, not just the PK values. At the end of the procedure, the data is streamed from these into the binary file for download.
Depending on the definition of your apublication, you could have one or more of the above types (VERY bad idea to mix queue based and fast refresh unless you are very sure about what you are doing) and therefore there may be a mix of different actions happening at different times
In conclusion i would say that try and send seperate data to clients so that they do not interfere with each other, and for inserts use uniqueue keys or sequences. If you MUST send the same data to different clients for update, then the queue based approach provides the best control, but as it is real time is not as scalable for large data sets.

Conflict resolution for a table with LOB column ...

Hi,
I was hoping for some guidance or advice on how to handle conflict resolution for a table with a LOB column.
Basically, I had intended to handle the conflict resolution using the MAXIMUM prebuilt update conflict handler. I also store
the 'update' transaction time in the same table and was planning to use this as the resolution column to resolve the conflict.
I see however these prebuilt conflict handlers do not support LOB columns. I assume therefore I need to code a customer handler
to do this for me. I'm not sure exactly what my custom handler needs to do though! Any guidance or links to similar examples would
be very much appreciated.

Hi,
I have been unable to make any progress on this issue. I have made use of prebuilt update handlers with no problems
before but I just don't know how to resolve these conflicts for LOB columns using custom handlers. I have some questions
which I hope make sense and are relevant:
1.Does an apply process detect update conflicts on LOB columns?
2.If I need to create a custom update/error handler to resolve this, should I create a prebuilt update handler for non-LOB columns
in the table and then a separate one for the LOB columns OR is it best just to code a single custom handler for ALL columns?
3.In my custom handler, I assume I will need to use the resolution column to decide whether or not to resolve the conflict in favour of the LCR
but how do I compare the new value in the LCR with that in the destination database? I mean how do I access the current value in the destination
database from the custom handler?
4.Finally, if I need to resolve in favour of the LCR, do I need to call something specific for LOB related columns compared to non-LOB columns?
Any help with these would be very much appreciated or even if someone can direct me to documentation or other links that would be good too.
Thanks again.

Merge for conflict resolution does not include conflicting changes.

Hello All
I am facing some integration conflicts
When I try to resolve these Integration Conflicts using the merge option, the conflicts are removed,
however the new activity created for these conflict resolution always includes the changes from the active version only .
The changes from the conflicting version are lost.
Could anyone please guide me on this.
Thanks

Thanks for linking your Address Book Accounts Basics (with iCloud). And for all your forum contributions - invaluable!
A possible tip to add is the obscure option key solution to the question: to what groups does the selected contact belong? When the option key is depressed all associated groups are displayed.
On syncing: is there an Applescript or utility that will audit every linked iCloud account, Mac and iOS device for discrepancies between the Contacts databases? I thinking of the simple case like ours, where we want everything stored in the iCloud Account once-only-once, plus whatever Group-ings are useful. Even better - a script or utility that will force synchronization across all our devices and iCloud?
Another useful tip might be: here are all the things you must do to achieve simple syncronycity - everything the same everywhere, no private contacts. That is probably what 99.99% of users want, and it is not documented anywhere. Even Joe Kissel's Take Control of iCloud v1.3 doesn't address this.

How to query the conflict resolution actually implemente

Hi all.
Can anyone tell me an easy way to report the conflict resolution procedures that a replicated object has implemented?
How do I know if a table has for example, site priority resolution and how it is done?
In general, is there a script to report all the replication configuration being used?
Thank you.

Assuming you are referring to Streams, you can download a Streams health check script at My Oracle Support (be sure to get the correct version, they cover 10gR1, R2, 11gR1, and R2). The output of the script will detail all of your rules and rule sets, process names, users, and so on. If you are calling a procedure to deal with conflict resolution, the action on error should reflect your procedure name, as an example.
If you are referring to GoldenGate, you can look at the appropriate parameter files (typically Replicat for conflict resolution purposes).
In either case, there is no setting or parameter that tags one source as the primary (or not). That designation is from a coding perspective. This implies that you capture the source of a record so you can evaluate "if error (whatever it is), then use record from source A."

GL Wand conflict with the Smart View add-in

Hello,
Has anyone else come across a conflict with Smart View and a tool called GL Wand?
When our users run the two Excel add-ins at the same time, on exiting Excel they get a prompt for a login to GL Wand several times. The user will then have to press the Esc key several times (or hold it down for a few seconds) to get rid of the prompt. Bot Oracle Support and Excel4Apps have come back with a suggestion to disable the other add-in, which would make for tricky navigating of the month-end reporting process.
Would one of you gurus have a better suggestion for a workaround please?
thanks

Conflict resolution manager having which spid at the database server.

Folks,
I've come across a situation where in one of the
1.SID was generating high redo SID - 1098 .
2.when i checked what this sid was doing - i figure out that it belongs to a report set, still having the sid at the database server.
3.The client process id(12041) of thie SID(1098) is shown as the spid shown in the system column at system administrator --> concurrent manager --> Administer --> Highlight conflict resolution manager --> click processes.
4. I understand that we need to grep for the osporcess "ps" using spid and not using "client process id" (process from v$session). Please clarify.
5.when I grep for 10241 it is indeed pointing to CRM process. but when I query for spid (12055) associated with sid (1098) it points to a Reports set which completed error and generating some kind of redo ( which triggered all the above questions).
6.Now the question is should we be checking for SPID (120550) associated with SID(1098) which says (LOCAL=NO) and safe to kill. as the status of the SID says inactive, though the last_call_et is just showing 1.
Thanks in advance.

Why Cant I Add Drop Shadow? artwork size & resolution exceeds the maximum that can be rasterized

I am making a sign for sign writing. The overall size is 2400mmx1800mm. so its quiet big.
But When I go to put a drop shadow behind it it comes up with this -
" The combination of artwork size & resolution exceeds the maximum that can be rasterized"
Why is it saying this? How do I put a drop shadow on it?

Try scaling the sign down to 600 x 450mm and building your drop shadow at a more manageable size. When you deliver your file for output, tell the vendor to enlarge the file 400% in the RIP. If it still will not work, check your HD for scratch space. If there is not enough memory available to run the operation, you will continue getting the message until you clear some space and/or increase your RAM ( if necessary ).

How do I use the Flash downloader add-on on a web page?

I downloaded Firefox because I thought it included a Flash downloader automatically. I have now added what I believe to be the Flash download add-on, but I can't see how it works. I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit on a PC.

You should ask on the support site for your downloader software.
If that is RealPlayer related make sure you keep the software up-to-date, it has had issues where firefox/realplayer/flashplayer caused conflicts or crashes.
Note some FlashPlayer content will not be intended to be downloadable.

Acrobat 9 - how do you create a dynamic stamp to include the current date (java script)

I have seen my question multiple places and times but the resolutions provided have not worked for me.
I am running Acrobat 9 Pro, cannot run X or XI due to the use of ProSystem fx Engagement.
I want to create what I thought would be a simple stamp. My initials and the current date. i.e. "crm 01/10/13".
Simple right? I created a PDF of my initials. Now I just need the text field with the proper Java Script to insert the date, correct?
I have tried opening "Dynamic.pdf" and copying and pasting the text field that includes the Java Script:
" event.value = (new Date()).toString(); AFDate_FormatEx("h:MM tt, mmm dd, yyyy"); "
The date does not update, it stays static.
I have manually entered the Java Script.
I have edited the Java Script to remove the "Ex".
I have edited the Java Script to revise the "yyyy" to "yy".
I have edited the Java Script to remove the " h:MM tt, " trying different formats to get "dd/mm/yy".
I have selected "Use single-key accelerators to access tools" in Preferences/General.
I have tried PDF files, PNG files. I have created the image files from Word and Excel.
I am at my wits' end. Can someone PLEASE assist me to resolve what should be a simple issue (I hope).
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your response.
Your script works well, but I still have the same issue. The date is remaining static to the system date when the stamp is created. My initial idea was to create a pdf of my initials "crm" and then add the text field with the java script for the date behind my initials. "crm" + (TEXT FIELD with JS). I wanted 3 stamps, red, blue and green. The colors correspond to specific processes in our workflow.
Your script adds my initials as well as the date.
My machine is running Windows 7.
My stamps are located:
C://Documents/Acrobat Stamps/...
Acrobat templates:
C://Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Acrobat 9.0/Acrobat/plug_ins/Annotations/Stamps/ENU/...
I have no problem creating stamps, just a stamp that will use the current system date. I HATE using the typewriter for my initials and the date. I guess I can stamp my initials and then type the date...but what is the point?
Do you have any further thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you very much.

Having problem with "artwork size & resolution exceeds the max that can be rasterized"

Hi all,
Ok, I created a 162.7" x 90.6" document (artboard) for an exhibition display I'm designing. The document was created using all the defaults - i think this is where i went wrong. Illustrator is now telling me that "the combination of artwork size and resolution exceeds the maximum that can be rasterized" after i open the document and when i try to add a drop shadow to anything.
Other than some vector graphics i created in illustrator, I only have 3 180ppi and 4 300ppi photos tranfered right off the photograpers camera.
I selected :
1. "Print Document" from the initial splash window.
2. I entered the artboard size, bleed and left the "Raster Effects" setting to "High (300ppi)"
I think leaving the Raster Effects setting at 300ppi is where the problem is.
Do i have to create a new document or can i fix the existing one?

nados you are a little confused that's all I think things are ll right and you are probably set to go with out going to Photoshop.
1. Your file is probably fine as is
2. Make certain you images are linked and not embedded
3. Your Images are probably ok as far as they are for the the specs required do not lower the resolution just make certain they are linked.
You may have to reimport them and in the place dialog make certain link is checked.
4. The Raster Image Effects setting is fine leave it as is.
5. The jpegs are fine lee your images as is if that was what was supplied to you and they look clean.
6. When saving the file save as .AI format and in the AI save as option dialog uncheck include linked files
(you will send them the jpegs as well as the AI file.)
7. Send the images in what ever format they are now since that is jpeg leave it be just make certain the dimensions are the same as is being used in the document at 100%.
8 Make Certain you select the text and got Type> Create Outlines before saving the file.
9 Do not export the file to any other format.
10 Send the printer production house the AI file and the Jpegs you will be fine.
You should not have a problem with this file.
