CR 2008- Basic question on scheduling and publishing

I am new to CR and have several copies of CR 2008. I am wondering if we can use CR 2008 to schedule reports to be refreshed (for example, daily) and reposted, or if I need server to do this (or alternately a human to go in and rerun the report)?
Secondly, does CR 2008 support posting reports to public drives or web pages? My developers are suggesting I need server to "publish" reports.
Please help! Thank you!

Amy,
Your developers are correct... CR 2008 is for report development only it has no built in scheduling capabilities.
the obvious choice is BOE or CR Server. There are, however, other alternatives... check this site [http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html]

Some basic questions on ESS and MSS

Hi Experts,
This is the first time I am going to deal with
ESS and MSS.
I have some basic questions about it and they are
listed below:
1. In an organization if they want to integrate
ESS and MSS, how do they go about? What I mean
is, will they install the packages in the R/3
system and then use the to portal features to
make iViews of ESS and MSS.
2. Or is there a seperate package for the portal
and the R/3 system
3.What is the best way to customize ESS and MSS
iViews? Is WebDynpro used to customize ESS and
MSS applications, if yes how?
4. Are these ESS and MSS packages different for
ECC and the older version of R/3 systems? If yes what are the major differences?
Please do let me know on these subjects and also
if anyone of you have any links or documents
associated with this scenario please do send me.
Thank you
Regards
Luke

Hi,
here is what I know..
1 & 2. Depending on the backend SAP version, the relevant ESS/MSS Business Packages have to be installed on the Portal. On the backend it will be via an Add-on.
3. The webDynpro versions of ESS/MSS are available from mySAP ERP2004/2005 (ECC5/6). The best way to customize the iViews would be through the NetWeaver DevStudio.
ent
4. Yes, the ESS/MSS packages are differ depending on the backend SAP version.
You can find all the different packages & their info right here on SDN. From the home page click on the Portal Content Portfolio on the right hand side of the page>Browse Content Portfolio>Self Service for ESS & Line Manager for MSS.

Basic question about storage and safety in iMovie '11

A very basic question about storage and safety:
I want to keep a backup of my raw footage on my external hard drive prior to begin working on the movie in iMovie. I want to do this:
1. Upload the digital files from my camcorder to my Desktop *(as opposed to iMovie)*
2. Duplicate that footage/clips.
3. Put the duplicate clips/footage into a folder labeled with the name of that footage (like "Fun At the Dentist" or "Jimmy Learns How to Yodel").
4. Drag the folder with the footage/clips into my external hard drive into a pre-existing folder titled "Backups/duplicates of all of my raw footage/clips." This big granddaddy folder will house all of the child folders of different movies.
5 Then, open up iMovie '11 and import the raw footage/clips from my Desktop rather than from my camcorder.
6. Then I want to make a duplicate of my finished movie and put it in my external hard drive in a "Finished Movies" folder.
I know that the original raw unedited footage will always be in iMovies '11 but I want the original to also exist immediately accessible in my external hard drive.
QUESTION:
Is this viable? Is it wise? (I know it goes an extra unnecessary step, but aside from that.)
*Do you have any precautionary advice?* Should I do something in my iMovies '11 preferences? What?
In earlier years with iMovie '04 or '06 (cannot recall) I made many novice errors and ended up losing audio to my finished movie. I also lost footage.
This time around with iMovie '11 I don't to make such novice, ignorant errors.
Thanks so much for any comments to this question.

Yes I'm sure it will work great for you.
The iFrame format is something Apple has come up with. The reason for its existence is unknown to me so I can only speculate. But it seems to me that Apple "invented" this format in order to have devices such as Ipod/Ipad/Iphone/Ixxx create clips that are editable on consumer hardware such as already mentioned devices but also standard Mac computers, without the need for format conversion.
iMovie converts most input formats during import, which takes a lot of time, and this need for conversion often comes as a surprise to most people new to home video editing.
iFrame has a resolution of 960x540 which is long way from the common standards of 1920x1080 and 1280x720. If your end target is YouTube however, this may not be too bad though. However if you intend to go with YouTube HD, you may find iFrame footage to look wrong since they are effectively upscaled to a higher resolution.
Technically iFrame uses the H.264 algorithm, a smaller frame size (960x540) and a rather low compression scheme. This will result in large files, but the plus side is that the files are ready for editing without the need for any conversion and iMovie will natively edit the files.

Basic Question on Copy and Delta link which one to use when?

Hi
Its basic question
My understanding about copy and Delta link is
Copy doesnot ahve direct relationship with source object (but it acts as a sibling) any changes done to spurce object does not affect target object.
Where as Delta link will have a parent child relation ship between source object bacially its a copy of source and inherits id properties. in case if i change source object does this affect target object, we can delete, add content to delta link target object.
let's say if i want to use standard quickpoll iView do i need to use copy or delta link similarly for other iviews, worksets, roles which one will be better.
Regards,
Murali

Murali,
Yes, your understanding is right.
Case 1 : Copy
A- Object
B- Copy of A
Both of them are independent.Any changes in A are not dependent on B and vice versa.
Case 2 : Delta Link
A - Object
B - Copy of A (via Delta link)
Any changes to A are reflected in B, as A is a parent and B a child.
But B would be an independent entity.Any changes to B would not effect A.
When you use either of them, depends on your need. When you are working with standard iviews or roles or workset, you can do a copy of the original, because in most cases we would not make changes to the standard roles or worksets or iviews. There by eliminating the process of making a delta copy.
But, if you are dealing with the roles that you have created and want to make a copy of it, you can use a delta link, because, even if you want to add more iviews and worksets to that role, they would get reflected when you make a delta copy.
Hope that helps.

Basic question inbound / outbound and source service (ASA 5505)

Hi there,
I'm new to the ASA 5505 appliance and have a few very basic questions. Hope I get some responses and not flamed for being a total newbie. :-)
Inbound versus outbound: I'm having a difficulty understanding the inbound versus outbound terminology. Can somebody please clarify? For example, if I want to block all http traffic from hosts on the inside to the internet but allow all https connections, intuitively I'd configure a rule to block outbound (= outgoing) traffic for the http protocol for the inside network. However, it seems as if I have to add this rule for inbound connections. Why is a connection from a host on the inside to a web server on the internet considered an inbound connection on the inside interface?
When I add a rule, I've got a "service" field and a "Source Service" field in the "More Options" section. What's the difference? Do I have to set both to the same value?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Ralf,
Yes, if you put a deny http, it would drop all packets for destination as http port, but be mindful that when you apply an access-list on your inside interface, it automatically activates the deny ip any any right at the bottom, you would be able to see that in the ASDM. So for the users that need be allowed access to the http, needs to be explicitly allowed http access, so your correct configuration would be:
access-list inside_access_in deny tcp host 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 any eq http
access-list inside_access_in permit tcp any any
access-group inside_access_in interface inside
This would block 192.168.1.1 to go to internet, but allow all others.
Second question, i haven't chceked the ASDM, but just remember out of memory, that this service option should be the protocol, whether ip,tcp,udp,esp or gre etc.
Moreover always try to block connections as closed to the source as possible, this would mean, if you want to filter traffic going from inside to outside, that should be done on the inside interface not outside.

Basic Questions about Looping and Headers

Hello,
Relative SSRS newcomer here and I have a couple of foundational questions... These are based on the simple premise of the underlying dataset returning multiple rows of data, elements of each to be displayed on subsequent pages of the report.
Is it fair to day that the Table (or Matrix) are the basic elements used for an iterative report?
Assuming the above is true, I'm using a Table for my first experiment here.
I can iterate and display my records but I'm struggling with header and footer information.
I want to display header and footer information on each page the is part of the current record. I've tried to add these elements in the 'header row' of the table, but that doesn't seem to do it. I don't see any facility for a footer. Is
this to be accomplished with row groups or something?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi Steven,
According to your description, you want to display interview questions and answers between interview name and date, and different interview name displays in different page. After testing the issue in my environment, we can use list to achieve your goal.
Please refer to the following steps:
Add a table to the design surface, drag question_name, question_answer fields from the Report Data pane to the table cells, and delete the last column of the table.
Click anywhere in a tablix data region, in the Grouping pane, Click Add Group, select Parent Group, in the Tablix Group dialog box, select interview_name, then click OK.
Right click [interview_name] next to details symbol, click insert row, select Inside Group – Below, then Inside Group – Above.
Delete the first row and the first column.
Merge all the cells in the first and last row, then drag interview_name to the first row and drag interview_date to the last row from the Report Data pane.
Add a List to the design surface, drag the tablix into the List.
Select and right click the List, in the Grouping pane, Click Group Properties, click Add button and select interview_name from the drop down list. Then click Page Breaks, and check Between each instance of a group check box, click OK.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Basic Questions On Scoring and LMS with Captivate 4

Hello,
Forive me if this question is too basic for this forum, but I have to ask it somewhere.
I am an academic librarian who develops tutorials using Capitvate 4. Each tutorial I develop has about 5 true/false, multiple choice questions. My technical knowledge is limited as a "librarian," but is strong enough to storyboard, develop graphics, and write elearning tutorials. But I have no idea on how to capture the results from my quizes and perform assessments, which is what I really need to do.
So, basically, what do I need to do? Do I ask my university to tap into their LMS? Coordinate with someone in a techncial services capacity and let them handle it? Have test results emailed using Captivate? Use something called Moodle? Wait until Captivate 5 comes out? I do not need anything fancy; just percentages on pass/fail rates associated with 5 questions or so.
Are there some basic instructions out there?
Best,
George Germek

Hello,
Since you seem to have a LMS, the easiest way is to let handle the assessment by the LMS. You'll have to ask where you can store the SCORM-objects(will explain soon) so that the users you want to reach can have access to them. The LMS takes care of the login for the users, and can link the results of an assessment to this user. You'll have to ask for the rights to have access to these results.
Creating a SCORM-object from CP is possible, but you need to know which SCORM-standard is supported by the LMS. Then you will decide what you want to have reported from the LMS: p.e. only the score, if they failed/passed (when you have put in a mastery score), how many attempts they made etc. If you have this information, would be glad to help you set up a first SCORM-object from a CP-file.
E-mailing results is a bit tricky in CP4, sometimes it works, sometimes not.
In CP5 you'll have other possibilities than a LMS (by the way Moodle is a free LMS, do not think this will be OK for you because you already have a LMS around): posting the results to acrobat.com (rather simple process, really) or using an internal webserver (but then you'll need some technical assistance I'm afraid).
Hope this gives you some ideas?

PS: just realize this was your first posting. Welcome on this forum, George.

Few basic questions about sharing and other stuff..

Hi there!
First of all I know where are "101" pages, but they are not giving detail information.
1.I know there are some folders where I can put files, web-sites and other in order to enable sharing.
What do I have to do to enable other users (from internet to)
- view my webpage when they enter my IP address in browser
- to access files which I want them to be able to acces (with user and password required)? I know there is sth like sharing, and windows sharing, but I give access to my all user folder, do I have to create new accounts on my mac?
2. It's kind of small problem, but can I run apps in finder using only keyboard (enter causes rename action)
3. Why doesn't safari keep addresses I used in addres field after few days?
The most important question is 1.
Will be gratefull for help.
Thanks
Adam Mscisz

1. Start Personal Web Sharing from the Sharing pane of System Preferences; if you have a router between your computer and the Internet, ports 80 and 443 need to be forwarded to your computer. You can set this up from the router's configuration page, which is accessible by finding the router address in the Network pane of System Preferences and putting it into a web browser. See this article for instructions on how to password protect your shared files.
2. You can use the Command and O keyboard shortcut to open the selected item in the Finder.
3. The default setting in Safari is to keep the history for 7 days. You can use the method posted by ptejad in this article to extend the time Safari remembers the history for. The method at the top of the linked page won't work in Tiger.

Basic questions about agilent34420a and drivers

Hi everybody! I have a few questions.
1) Сan anybody help me and tell where can find driver for Agilent34420A on RS232. On support CD which was together with the device i find only Agilent IO 15 and drivers for agilent 34401 (that in itself is strange)?
2) In certain source code (C#) i saw include one lib - "Ivi.Visa.Interop". Please, explain where it can be found?
3) There any emulators of working devices (agilent/keithley/other)?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The IVI-C driver from NI is at
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E94B9659CE034080020E748...
You'll have to check with keysight to see if they have a different one.

Basic questions about AirPort and channels

I have a VERY limited knowledge about networks. Please keep answers simple.
My setup is very basic. My computer is connected to the internet via AirPort through my wireless gateway (router).
When I pull down the AirPort menu from the toolbar it lists 3 network names plus Other. My network name is checked. Why are 2 others listed on my computer? They aren't listed in my AirPort Network System Preferences under Preferred Networks so I can't delete them.
I downloaded iStumbler to try to get more information. It lists all 3 names plus one more that comes on and off. My signal is over 100% and all the others are around 50%.
Also, three (including mine) are using channel 6 and one is using channel 1. Should I change my channel? Everyone always mentions 1, 6, and 11. Could I use 4 or 5? Are some channels stronger than others?
Thanks.

"...Why are 2 others listed on my computer?"
You have neighbors with wireless networks and you are getting a signal from them.
"They aren't listed in my AirPort Network System Preferences under Preferred Networks so I can't delete them."
You can't delete them because they are your neighbors signals.
"should I change my channel?"
I would switch to channel 9.

Very Basic Question on Threads and Object Manipulation between classes

I have a feeling this is on the virge of being a stupid question but hey, its the right forum.
Lets assume I have a class that extends Jframe : Jframe1
In that frame there is only one Jlabel : Jlabel1
I want to create a thread that will affect Jlabel1
The thread will run an endless loop that will.. for example change the color of the label to a random color and then the thread will sleep for a given time. There is no use in this program. Its only meant to help me understand
I have looked up info and examples on threads. Unfortunately none were useful. Most examples try to illustrate the use of threads with the example of an applet digital clock. But it does not help with my problem, not to mention I dont want to delve into applets at this time.
I know I have to make a class that extends thread. Does it have to be an inner class?
How do I get to affect the frame's Jlabel1 from it? It says it doesn't know anything about it.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Jframe1 extends JFrame implements Runnable{
Container con;
JLabel Jlabel1;
Random rand;
Color c;
public Jframe1(){
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    con = getContentPane();
    rand = new Random();
    Jlabel1 = new JLabel("bspus", JLabel.CENTER);
    Jlabel1.setOpaque(true);
    con.add(Jlabel1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    setSize(300, 300);
    setVisible(true);
public void run(){
    while (true){
      try{
        Thread.sleep(1000);
      catch (InterruptedException e){
        break;
      int n = rand.nextInt(16777216);
      c = new Color(n);
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
        public void run(){
          Jlabel1.setBackground(c);
public static void main(String[] args){
    Jframe1 jf = new Jframe1();
    new Thread(jf).start(); // you don't need to create a new thread
}                         // because this Main thread is just
                            // another thread.
                            // here, only for demonstration purpose,
}                           // we make a new separate thread.

Basic question about Actionscript and symbols

I like the object oriented features of actionscript (2.0).
One thing confuses me tho, namely the combination of symbol classes
and constructors. Since symbols can't be instanciated by new
SomeMovie(...), but rather has to be created with attachMovie(), it
seems to me that there is no use of constructors for symbols.
Instead you have to send an init object in the attachMovie() call.
This seems to me to be lacking in logic. It would be much more
logical if you could do:
var m = new MyMovie(constructor arguments...);
destinationClip.attachMovie(m);
Am I correct that this way of doing it is not possible in
current actionscript?
And second, don't you agree this would be a more consistent
use of the actionscript language?

First, I just wanna thank u for replying. I still have some
follow up questions that I think are of interest:
About the first issue of constructors u say they
automatically gets called. But isn't it true that only a
constructor that takes no arguments can be automatically called?
Because, how could a constructor call with arguments MyMovie(x, y,
size, etc), be automatically called? My point is, that it would be
more neat to send the parameters thru the constructor, than thru an
init object. Also, I wonder why u think constructors are error
prone. Maybe they are error prone exactly because
Flash/actionscript invites to an inconsistent way of initializing
MovieClips and other object instances?
Second, u say that attaching a class to a MovieClip should be
avoided unless all or most of the functionality of the MovieClip
Class is needed. I usually attach a class a MovieClip that needs
some code to describe its behaviour. In practice, I think the only
essential method that I need from MovieClip is the onEnterFrame().
Are you suggesting that it would be better to skip onEnterFrame in
individual objects, and rather loop over some array to make all
objects get their command to do their thing? I thought the good
thing about onEnterFrame was that I could avoid having to traverse
arrays of objects, and instead let Flash itself call all objects
that need to be updated each frame.
Third, I would like to repeat the benefit of not having to
create variable names as attachMovie requires. For instance, assume
alot of clips are being attached to the same containing clip. Now u
have to make sure that all attached clips get different variable
names, or strange things will happen. But if attachMovie just took
a reference to a clip as parameter u would avoid that problem.
If u know some document that discusses these issues, i would
be happy if anyone had a link to it. My suggestion to the Flash
developers is to make MovieClip objects consistent with ordinary
objects.

Part2: basic questions on collaboration and KM

Hi,
could someone please help by answering my questions...
what is difference between "action item" and "approval" in the listbox while creating a task in "my tasks" workset of Collaboration role?
what is difference between UWL and adhoc workflow.
what are extensions and extension points?
Regards

Hi,
1)
Action item is for any task to be carried out.you mention the work to be done by the user in each step.
Approval : you attach a document and set the approval process, if the document is rejected by a approver it goes back to the author.
2)
An extension for room or room part templates is a program that controls the storing and obtaining of data for rooms or room parts. For example, you can use extensions to define the following items:
-Definition of folders for data storage in your CM backend system
-Connection of further backend systems (for data storage)
-Obtaining or linking information
For each extension in a template, certain extension points are defined. In the life-cycle of a room or room part, the system executes the extension at the extension points that are defined in the respective template. For example, when the system creates a room, it can create a folder in accordance with the extension configuration.
Configuring the extension for a template involves creating it for each of the planned extension points and defining the input and output parameters required.
The sequence of the extension points is not fixed, however, there can be logical dependencies. For example, an extension that generates an input parameter must be executed before an extension that uses the input parameter. This dependency can be controlled using an input parameter.
3)
Ad Hoc Workflow (AWF) is a component accessible through the Universal Worklist (UWL). AWF is integrated with the UWL so that users can create ad-hoc workflows with multiple steps. Users can assign work items to other portal users, and define the work item types, details and due dates. Users define ad hoc workflows using the provided Ad Hoc Workflow Wizard.
Ad hoc agent assignment
A workflow of this type enables agents to be assigned to workflow steps when the workflow is started. During workflow execution the agent assignment can be changed by authorized users at any time for steps not yet completed.

Basic question on log and temp files

Hi,
I need to create a new database in this way:
- 2 GB for the data file
- 1 GB for log and temp files
This is the command I'm issuing to create the db:
create tablespace xyz datafile '<path>\xyz.dbf' size 2000M reuse;
How can I say the size of log and temp files?
Thank you
Nicola
Ps-I'm on windows platform

user575754 wrote:

This is the command I'm issuing to create the db:
create tablespace xyz datafile '<path>\xyz.dbf' size 2000M reuse;This command does not actually create a database, but a tablespace. If you ran it, that means your db aleady exists.
So, not sure to follow you on this thread.
