Confused about Designer ES vs full suite...

Hi,
I've been trying to figure this our myself by researching all of the available documentation, but I am getting very confused by all of the different products, capabilities and installation/deployment requirements. I need to determine if we need to purchase the full ES suite and establish a J2EE application server on Windows 2003 Server, or can we just use Designer ES on our Windows XP workstations to create PDF forms that our clients can open and modify using Adobe Reader.
For our project (Canadian Government department), we simply want to have dynamic PDF forms that can be populated with data from our Oracle database, and then let the user enter additional information and get this data back into the database. Also, we would like to do some fairly simple scripting like enabling/disabling form areas depending on data entered by the user. Sometimes our clients will be connected to our network and sometimes they will not be connected.
I love all of the features that ES can do, I just don't think we're going to be able to get a J2EE application server approved and installed for our project. This department is Microsoft.NET based and not Java.
What things can be done without involving a J2EE application server? Can we have dynamic forms and 2-way data exchange? Can we use Flex to create RIAs (i.e. Form Guides) from our forms that we can deploy to users?
Thank you in advance,
Dave

Thank you for the info. After researching some more, I see there is a new version (ES2) coming available "before the end of 2009":
http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200910/AdobeUnveilsLiveCycleEnterp riseSuite2.html
Also, the description of "Designer ES2" seems quite capable of doing what we need:
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/designer/capabilities/
I will just have to wait until there is a trial download available to see if we'll require a J2EE server. I'm hoping we can just have Designer on our XP machines for creating PDF Forms (and maybe Flex form-guide applications), and our clients just need Reader 9 for entering the data and sending them back to us.

I'm horribly confused about student licensing and commercial use

As the title says I'm horribly confused about student licensing and using it for commercial use.
I currently have a Student Licensing version of Adobe Creative Suite 4 that I purchased through my school's journeyEd portal.
Seeing how CS5 is now out I was browsing looking at prices (why not upgrade while I'm still a student, right?) and while browsing I bumped into one source that says that Student Licensing can not be used for commercial purposes, and this is when the confusion started. I remember reading before that we are able to use student licensing for commercial purposes, okay time to google search. I found one Adobe FAQ that says I can. .
http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentteacheredition/faq.html
" Can I use my Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software for commercial use?
Yes. You may purchase a Student and Teacher Edition for personal as well as commercial use. "
and I found this old thread;
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/314304
Where an poster listed as an employee of Adobe states
"There is no upgrade from the CS3 Educational Edition to the comparable CS3 editions sold in non-academic environments. If you have an educational version of for CS3 obtained legitimately (i.e., you qualified for the educational version when you obtained it), you may continue to use that software for the indefinite future, even for commercial use! You cannot sell or otherwise transfer that license, though! When the next version of the Creative Suite is released, you will have two choices: (1) If you still qualify for the educational version, you can buy a copy of that next version (there is no special upgrade pricing from one educational version to another; the price is already very low) or (2) you can upgrade from the educational version of CS3 to the full version of the next version of the Creative Suite as an upgrade from CS3 at the prices published at that time. "
Okay cool, hmm what this? Adobe is asking me if I want to IM with live costumer service agent, sure why not? Then the conversation started and I asked her my question about using my CS4 license for commercial use, she asks for my product code and email to verify my product, then informs me I can purchase the upgrade version of CS5 and use that for commercial, okay great, but not really answering my question. I reword it and give her a link to that FAQ page it goes like this. ..
"[CS Rep] : [My name], I would like to inform you that Adobe Student and Teacher Editions are not allowed for
commercial use.
[CS Rep] : However, you can upgrade your current software to a normal upgrade version, and you can continue
using it for commercial purpose.
[Me] : Then is the FAQ page mistaken? Because it is very misleading if it is. But thank you for the information.
[CS Rep] : You are welcome.
[CS Rep] : I apologize for the misleading information in the FAQ."
. .And after that, I went back to being confused.
SO my questions are. . . Can I or can't I use my Adobe Creative Suite 4 student licensing for commercial purposes? and If I purchase a Student Licensing of CS5 can I use that for commercial purposes as well?
Sorry for the long post, I just want to be perfectly clear on what I can and can not do with my purchase.

The rules differ in various parts of the world. In North America you can use it for commercial work.
There are no student/academic upgrades. The pricing is so low that in many cases you're better off buying another full student license but you are eligible for upgrade pricing for commercial versions once you're out of school.
You may not transfer the student license in any way.

Confused about SOAP

Hi all,
As far as I know, SOAP is initially designed to be an XML based
RPC protocol.
But Java API for XML Messaging (JAXM), which is actually a
messaging API (and not RPC), is also based on SOAP.
How do they fit to each other?
In a few words, what does actually SOAP define?
I am confused about that, can you help me?
Any idea will be appreciated.
Thank you

In a few words -- no. Try here:

Confuse about Configuring Oracle Warehouse Builder

newbie here... i am abit confuse on how to configure the Oracle Warehouse builder...
I have 2 database... 1 source and 1 new one...
I understand that i have to install the Runtime Repository in the database computer and the Target Schema through the client's computer...
so all this while... i am just confuse about what to install into the source database and what to install into the new database...
Please help...

Location is a logical entity in your OWB design that can be either a database schema, a flat file location, an SAP application location etc. Once you complete your design and are ready to deploy the design into the runtime environment, you will have to 'register' the locations by providing the physical details of your location to OWB (user name/password, database, hostname etc.).
I am a bit confused by your configuration - are the source and the target in two separate schemas or in the same schema? Your posts are somewhat contradictory.
If they are in two different schemas, you should:
1. Create a source module pointing to a source schema (you can then import data object structures from the source schema - i.e. you don't have to create source tables manually in OWB, but you can import them into the module automatically). This module will have a source location (for example SRC_LOC).
2. Create a target module where all your target objects will be (i.e. where the data will be loaded). This module will have a different location (TGT_LOC). In your target module you will also create the mappings.
3. When deploying, you will register SRC_LOC with the physical details of your source schema, while the target location will be registered with the physical details of the target schema. The code generated by OWB during deployment will make sure that the data is extracted from the source schema and inserted into the target schema (either by generating and using DB links or by qualifying the schemas in the extraction queries if source and target are in the same database instance).
On the other hand, if both source and target objects are in the same db schema, you can have all your objects in the same target module and you will only have to register the location of this target module when deploying (LOC_TGT).
That said, there can be a variety of reasons why there is no data in the target after you run the extract mapping that have nothing to do with locations, such as logical errors in the mapping (an inappropriate filter or a wrong join), insufficient privileges etc. I suggest you take a look in the runtime audit browser that should contain the error messages relative to your mapping.

Confusion about Kodo and JCA

Hi,
I'm a bit confused about Kodo's Connection Architecture strategy. It is my understanding that
PMF's can be built to use the connection architecture. Along this line, one would configure the
ConnectionFactory or ConnectionFactoryName, and possibly the ConnectionFactory2 and
ConnectionFactory2Name properties in a PMF. The result of the PMF implementation supporting the
connection architecture is nice integration with the application servers in terms of security,
transaction, and connection management. One can lookup in JNDI a reference to a Kodo PMF that
supports datastore transactions or to another one that supports optimistic transactions or to
another one that supports NTR, and with proper settings of the transactional properties and suitable
application code, one's sesson bean will work.
But from what I can see of Kodo's JDOPersistenceManagerFactory class, it, itself, implements the
ManagedConnectionFactory interface, meaning, I think, that this class is resource adaptor. And that
the part that confuses me. Why would Kodo be a resource adaptor? I thought it used a resource
adaptor, which I think is the same thing as a connection factory.
Anyway, I'm puzzled, and I'm hoping that someone could straighten me out.
David Ezzio

David-
The fact that Kodo can integrate into an application server as a
Resource Adaptor, and section 3.2.2 of the specification that says that
the PersistentManagerFactory should be able to utilize a Resource
Adaptor to obtain connections to the data store are two separate issues.
We implement Kodo itself as a Resource Adaptor in order to provide ease
of integration into recent application servers. Your confusion is
understandable, since we do not actually yet support the use of Resource
Adaptors as the Connection Factories as per section 3.2.2.
Does that make sense?

Swamped and confused about products

Hi guys,
I am new to Oracle middleware products. After looking at a few articles, I am swamped and confused about those products, WebCenter (WC), Content Server (CS), Universal Content Management (UCM).
1. WC has a built-in content database, part of Oracle database. CS also stores contents into Oracle database. Then what are differences between two types of content storage? Can I build WebCenter with Content Server as the content storage?
2. WebCenter provides management functions on content. So does UCM. Users could contribute, review and release contents to web via both. Then what are differences between two types of content management? What more does UMC provide than the built-in content management in WC.
3. Content Server needs a third-party web server (port:80) to publish its content. WebCenter Suite seems use Oracle HTTP Server (port:7777) to render web pages. Is it possible to integrate those two on one web server? Why is Oracle HTTP Server using a weird port?
4. JDeveloper has the built-in OC4J container. But how can JDeveloper access or interact with Content Server or WC content database? Site Studio can access Content Server directly but only provides very limited portlet or ajax components. If I want to store web pages, static or dynamic, into WC and/or CS, which tool should I use?
Can anybody help me with them? Or please point me to the right direction. I really appreciate it.
thanks,
Chen

Plug it in and use the Transfer Purchases function, either from the resulting dialog box or from the File menu. If you need to authorize the computer, choose it from the Store menu.

BE[Elect], MBA[SCM], 4 yrs Exp as BD. Totally confused about which SAP module

Hello,
Niranjan here from Mumbai. i am currently working as Lead member, Business development in engineering company for past 4+ years. Prior i have completed my BE from Mumbai university & MBA in supply change management.
Now i am planning to have a shift to SAP. But confused about any specific module.
On doing some ground work, found SD module of my use, but not sure about it.
Also found CRM of my use on discussion with some of those working on field.
Totally confused. ...
Plz pour in your suggestions.
thanks in advance.
Niranjan Watve

Hi Niranjan,
As for my opinion, SAP CRM Sales exactly suits to you. However, you have done Supply Chain Management you can also opt for SAP SD as well.
But give a preference to SAP CRM Sales Instead of SAP SD.

Confused about the new Creative Cloud

Dear all,
Since I read adout the new Creative Cloud I am confused about what is going to happen to my license for Adobe Lightroom. Are they going to still maintain the desktop applications as well or will I have to pay for a yearly license if I want to use the new versions of Lightroom?
I am a casual photographer and I love using Lighroom for my pictures but I don't think that paying for a yearly license because I am not spending a lot of time editing pictures.
Can someone clarify this for me?
Many thanks,
Lucian

The CC is geared towards Pro users, schools etc. LR spans both Pro and casual users. So from what I can garner Lightroom will stay as it is for the next iteration at least. I quoted that bit as my opinion is that that is the very reason why Lightroom will be available outside the cloud with a cloud version available with intergration features with the rest of the CC suite.

A little Confused About Apps...

Hi Everyone,
I've been looking at the iPod Touch and it seems like the best-designed player on the market. I'm a journalist and I want to use the Touch to play my interviews, which are voice recordings in WMA format (converted to MP3).
OK, I'd love to do some basic things, and I'm confused about what the June update will offer.
Please tell me if the June apps will allow these capabilities:
1. Play voice recordings with the speaker instead of headphones
2. Allow me to create a folder on the home page to go directly to my voice recordings
3. Drag-and-drop files in Windows explorer directly into a folder on the home page
Yes, I know, I'm trying to use the Touch for an unusual thing, but I think there are a lot of other journalists and bloggers out there who would also use the Touch if it could provide these capabilities!
I'm not interested in fancy games for the Touch. I'm much more interested in expanding basic capabilities.
If I know the Touch will be able to do these things, I'd buy one today!
Thanks,
Matt

neuroanatomist,
Thanks for the response. This is all very interesting...
I understand it's not a real speaker, but I have heard some demos where it was used to play rudimentary sounds. That's why I wonder if it would be good enough for simple voice playback.
I know some people like this, but I don't like is having to always drill down several "layers" to get to my actual recordings. Instead of having to do Music > Album > Playlist, I'd really like to just have folders on the home page. To my mind, this does not sound like a difficult thing to be able to do, though maybe I'm missing something here.
On the drag-and-drop thing: of course, I understand Apple's need to force us to use iTunes. I like iTunes, and use it for music all the time, even though I don't have an iPod at the moment. But it just seems to me that Apple would not suffer if you could drag and drop your valid music files (or voice recordings) directly into folders on the iPod. You'd still have to own legal music files, bought from iTunes.
Anyway, if these hurdles could be overcome, I'd buy an iPod Touch today. At the moment, it's a tough choice. Several other players do some of the things I am asking for, though none of them has the elegance of the iPod.
I just wish Apple would put their elegance together with the capabilities of other players.

Confused about the default schema

Hi,
I am a little bit confused about the schema concept.
I want to create a new schema called APP and then create several users and roles based on the schema APP. The default schema for the users should be APP achema.
How can I make the schema APP the default schema for the new users that I am creating?
I feel that there are some schema design concepts that I have to learn. Is there any resource on the internet that I can read and learn more about oracle schema design best practices?
Any help would be appreciated,
Ali

A schema holds object definitions, and in the case of table & index objects the schema also holds the data.
A user owns the schema.
Therefore the user 'owns the definitions (including any functions, procedures, sequences, tabels, etc.)
Other users may be granted access to some, or all, of the objects in a schema. This is done through the 'GRANT ...' command. For example, consider the following steps:
1) create user app_owner
2) create table object test owned by the app_owwner
3) create user app_user
4) grant select, update, insert and delete on app_owner's test table to app_user
5) add synonyms to avoid needing to qualify the table's schema name.
done as follows:

Creating objects in a schema can be done by providing the schema name, or by switching schema in newer versions of Oracle
SQL> create table app_owner.test ( t number );
Table created.
Create a userid that will access the table. Set that userid up to access the database and (for future) give it the capability to create it's own synonyms
SQL> create user app_user
2 identified by xyz
3 temporary tablespace temp;
User created.
SQL> grant create session to app_user;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> grant create synonym to app_user;
Grant succeeded.
Now give the user access to the objects
SQL> grant select, update, insert, delete on app_owner.test to app_user;
Grant succeeded.
Let's test it out. Insert by qualifying the schema name on the object, then create a synonym to avoid using schema, and try it all using the synonym
SQL> connect app_user/xyz
Connected.
SQL> insert into app_owner.test values (4);
1 row created.
SQL> create synonym test for app_owner.test;
Synonym created.

This, and a whole lot more, is in the 'Concepts' manual for your version of the database at http://docs.oracle.com

Confusion about applet

i have confusion about applet that if an applet compile successfully but on running it shows a exception message about "main"that no such method exist.help me out please

The full text of the error message would make it easier for us to see what is wrong BUT it sounds like you are trying to run the Applet as an applicaiton from the comand line rather than through an HTML tag in an HTML page loaded into your browser!
Though you can make Applets run as applications it not normal to do so.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out. The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for. Is this a stupid question?

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

Confuse about the injecting entity in EJB 3.0?

Confused about logical table source

Hi,
I'm confused about logical table source(LTS), there are 'General', 'Column Mapping', 'Content' tabs in
LTS, in General tab ,there are some information,like 'Map to there tables' and 'joins',
just here, we have created relationships in physical layer and BMM layer, so I would like to ask what's the use of the 'joins' here?

Hi Alpha,
Valid query, when you establish a complex join it is always between a logical fact and dimension table.Consider a scenario,
Example:w_person_dx is an extension table not directly joined to a fact but joins to a dimension w_person_d.
When you model the person_d tables in BMM, you ll have a single logical table with w_person_d as source.If you have to pull columns from both w_person_d and w_person_dx tables in a report, you add dx table as inner join to persond table in the general tab.Now when you check your physical query, you can see the inner join fired between the two dimensions.
