Creation of Large Number of Workbooks within short span

Hi,
In my Production server, User has created many Workbooks for their convenience.
Now, I am working on upgrading project. I want to create same amounts of workbook to my Development server. I know how to create but as quantity in thousands and connected with respective roles.
I would like to know if, there is any process to create workbooks other than usual manual process.
(I can check the list and not availability of Workbooks from TABLE AGR_HIER and after creating I can check the existence in same table.)
If any, let me know... shorted method to create lots of workbook in less time.
Thanks in Advance.

I am marking it as Unasawered But, If anybody knows, then Let me know...
Thanks in Advance..

Should we create large number of folders within a list?

For a custom list having 50K item it is more convenient for user to create folders to segregate custom list items logically. But if we consider performance, is it recommended to create large number folders of within a custom list?
What are pros and cons of creating folders within a custom list?

Hi SunilKumar,
In a SharePoint list, the folder can also be seen as list item, considering to the large amount of list items existing in your list, the influence of these extra folders
to your site won’t be so apparently.
However, for a better item management, using extra columns for grouping items would be more recommended.

Fastest way to handle and store a large number of posts in a very short time?

I need to handle a very large number of HTTP posts in a very short period of time. The handling will consist of nothing more than storing the data posted and returning a redirect. The data will be quite small (email, postal code). I don't know exactly how
many posts, but somewhere between 50,000 and 500,000 over the course of a minute.
My plan is to use the traffic manager to distribute the load across several data centers, and to have a website scaled to 10-instances per data center. For storage, I thought that Azure table storage would be the ideal way to handle this, but I'm not sure
if the latency would prevent my app from handling this much data.
Has anyone done anything similar to this and have a suggestion for storing the data? Perhaps buffering everything into memory would be ideal and then batching from there to table storage. I'm starting to load-test the direct to table-storage solution and
am not encouraged.

You are talking about a website with 500,000 posts per minute with re-direction, so you are talking about designing a system that can handle at least 500,000 users? Assuming that not all users are doing posts within a one minute timeframe, then you
are talking about designing a system that can handle millions of users at any one time.
Event hub architecture is completely different from the HTTP post architecture, every device/user/session writes directly to the hub. I was just wondering if that actually work better for you in your situation.
Frank
The site has no session or page displaying. It literally will record a few form values posted from another site and issue a redirect back to that originating site. It is purely for data collection. I'll see if it is possible to write directly to the event hub/service
bus system from a web page. If so, that might work well.

Experience with creation of a large number of key figures

Hi:
I have a need to create a large number of Key Figures (at least about 50 of them) for DP use. Do you have any experience with automating this task if so, can you share your experience? Thanks.
Satish

Hi,
So far we have not come across a need to automate KF creation. And 50 KF is not a huge number, it would take may be a couple of hours to create them. Also, since it is a one time activity, developing an automation script for the same does not sound useful. You might want to consider creating them manually so that you can ensure all settings are proper.
Hope this helps.

How to remove large number of "sent" but still keep them available in case I need to search for something?

Over several years, I have accumulated some 1400 messages in the SENT folder.
Lately my Thunderbird is taking a long time for some actions that used to be instant, like selecting another message to read or delet.
I regularly remove incoming messages to keep the in-box under 300, and I have almost nothing in the other folders.
I tried changing the "local folders" to a different directory, but when I do that, all the old "sent" messages become un-available for searching and potentially continuing a conversation.
Is there a way to move the large number of "sent" messages from the "local folders" but still keep them available for access from within Thunderbird, in case I need something from past chains of replies?

Structural authorization - creation of employee number

Hello Experts,
We are facing an issue with strutural authorization in creation of employee number,
I have tested without assigning stuctural authorization and it process the hiring action and generates the employee number
(Hiring action is carried through the adobe form which inturn calls the ABAP Function module),
for the same user if i assign Strctural profile with Function module RH_GET_MANAGER_ASSIGNMENT ( User is assigned to an employee who is Chief ) the hiring action which has to happen through adobe form is not happening and when we check in the program it is throwing an error as Failed strutural authorizations.
I checked whether the employee which has to generate lies within the organization unit of the manager ( who is chief) and it does lies with in the same org unit.
can you please help me in analysing why the employee is not getting gereating though the user is having proper HR authorizations and Strutural authorization assigned.

Hi.
After 2½ days of frustration I finally nailed this.
Function group RHAC, that handles the authority checks, initially buffers a table called VIEW containing all objects available for the user. As stated earlier in this conversation, SAP handles creation of relations in HRP1001 (links PA and OM). At this point the new employee number is appended to buffered table VIEW in function group RHAC.
When execution the PA40 activity through CALL TRANSACTION, the creation of the relations are not handled - and the same goes for updating the buffered table VIEW. The table can be updated using the function module RH_VIEW_ENTRY_INSERT from the same fundtion group:
This example might be useful
data: ls_view_entry type hrview,
        ls_related_object type hrobject.
ls_view_entry-plvar = '01'.
ls_view_entry-otype = 'P'.
ls_view_entry-objid = lv_pernr.
ls_view_entry-begda = '18000101'.
ls_view_entry-endda = '99991231'.
ls_view_entry-maint = 'X'.
ls_related_object-plvar = '01'.
ls_related_object-otype = 'S'.
ls_related_object-objid = lv_ny_objid.
call function 'RH_VIEW_ENTRY_INSERT'
    exporting
      view_entry     = ls_view_entry
      related_object = ls_related_object.

Trouble copying a large number of objects using Acrobat X

Acrobat X is many times slower than Acrobat 9 when copying a large number of objects in a PDF. What used to take one second in Acrobat 9, now takes upwards of 45 seconds or longer in Acrobat X and often causes the application to crash. I am using 10.2.1 on OS X 10.6.8. Has anyone else experienced this performace difference or have any solutions? Any thoughts on the subject would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Since you do not want to crop your images to a square 1:1 aspect ratio changing the canvas to be square will not make your images square they will retain their Aspect Ratio and image size will be changer to fit within your 1020 px square. There will be a border or borders on a side or two borders on opposite sides. You do not need a script because Photoshop ships with a Plug-in script to be used in Actions. What is good about Plugins is the support Actions. When you record the action the plug-in during action recording records the setting you use in its dialog into the actions step. When the Action is played the Plug-in use the recorded setting an bypasses displaying its dialog. So the Action can be Batch. The Action you would record would have two Steps. Step 1 menu File>Automate>Fit Image... in the Fit Image dialog enter 1020 in the width and height fields. Step 2 Canvas size enter 1020 pixels in width and height not relative leave the anchor point centered it you want even borders on two sides set color to white in the canvas size dialog. You can batch the action.
The above script will also work. Its squares the document then re-sizes to 1020x1020 the action re-sizes the image to fit with in an area 1020 x 1020 then add any missing canvas. The script like the action only process one image so it would also need to be batched. Record the script into and action and batch the action. As the author wrote. The script re size canvas did not specify an anchor point so the default center anchor point is uses like the action canvas will be added to two sides.

Oracle Error 01034 After attempting to delete a large number of rows

I sent the command to delete a large number of rows from a table in an oracle database (Oracle 10G / Solaris). The database files are located at /dbo partition. Before the command the disk space utilization was at 84% and now it is at 100%.
SQL Command I ran:
delete from oss_cell_main where time < '30 jul 2009'
If I try to connect to the database now I get the following error:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
df -h returns the following:

I tried to get the space back by deleting all the data in the table oss_cell_main :
drop table oss_cell_main purge
But no change in df output.
I have tried solving it myself but could not find sufficient directed information. Even pointing me to the right documentation will be higly appreciated. I have already looking at the following:

Is there a way of combining a large number of materials into a grouping cod

Greetings,
Is there a way of combining a large number of materials into a grouping code, so that and end-user can manage this grouping... adding and removing materials... for auctions?
The materials will likely span material groups in R/3, and there could be thousands of materials. Shopping cart templates would be cumbersome.
I was thinking about a special catalog characteristic with defined names to manage the various groups of materials.
I appreciate any advice... also in awarding points.
Jessica

Hi Jessica
This is my understanding:
- You want to 'Specially group' materials other than material group. Each special group, may consists of materials from many material groups.
- User(s) pick materials from this group during 'Auction' creation or 'shopping cart' creation.
Am I right ?
Looks like using 'Catalog' is the option.
- MDM Catalog 'mask' or other Catalogs views to have user specific catalog view
- Maintenance of this catalog by user could become a problem. Then, you need to give content mgmt rights to user

Status and messaging for systems with a large number of classes

Very common dilemma we coders face when creating
systems involving a large number of classes:
Any standard framework to take care of the global status of the whole application and of gui subsystems
for both status handling and report messages to users?
Something light if possible...and not too much threads.

Ah, I see,
I found JPanel with CardLayout or a JTabbedPane very good for control of several GUI in an application - as alternative organization tool I use a JTree, which is used for both, selecting and organizing certain tasks or data in the application - tasks are normally done with data associated with them (that is, what an object is for), so basically a click onto a node in this JTree invokes an interface method of that object (the userObject), which is associated with this node.
Event handling should be done by the event-handling-thread only as far as possible - it is responsible for it so leave this job to it. This will give you control over the order in which the events are handled. Sometimes it needs a bit more work to obey this rule - for example communication coming from the outside (think of a chat channel for example) must be converted to an event source driven by a thread normally. As soon as it is an event source, you can leave it's event handling to the event handling thread again and problems with concurrent programming are minimized again.
It is the same with manipulating components or models of components - leave it to the event handling thread using a Runnable and SwingUtilities.invokeLater(Runnable). This way you can be sure that each manipulation is done after the other in the order you have transferred it to the event handling thread.
When you do this consequently most of your threads will idle most of the time - so give them a break using Thread.sleep(...) - not all platforms provide preemptive multitasking and this way it is garanteed, that the event handling thread will get a chance to run most of the time - which results in fast GUI update and fast event handling.
Another thing is, that you should use "divide and conquer" also within a single GUI panel - place components in subpanels and transfer the responsibility for the components in this panel to exactly these subpanels - think of a team manager which makes his employees work together. He reports up to his super manager and transfers global order from his boss into specific tasks by delegation to the components, he is managing. If you have this in mind, when you design classes, you will have less problem - each class is responsible for a certain task - define it clearly and define to whom it is reporting (its listeners) and what these listeners may be interested in.
When you design the communication structure within your hierarchy of classes (directors, managers, team managers and workers) have in mind, that the communication structure should not break the management hierarchy. A director gives global orders to a manager, which delegates several tasks to the team managers, which make their workers do what is needed. This structure makes a big company controlable by directors - the same principles can also keep control within an application.

Always get MaxMessageSizeExceededException on large number of MBeans

I have 60 apps deployed on my Cluster (with 2 ManagedServers), and each App has a large number of MBeans. If I go to the custom tree using wlst, I always get this error, even though the MaxMessageSize has been set way way higher.
weblogic.socket.MaxMessageSizeExceededException: Incoming message of size: '10000080' bytes exceeds the configured maximum of: '10000000' bytes for protocol: 't3'
The ManagedServers are started with the ClusterManager, and each ManagedServer has the Arguments set for ServerStart:
-Xms4g -Xmx8g -XX:MaxPermSize=7g -d64 -XX:+UseCodeCacheFlushing -XX:NewSizeThreadIncrease=100 -Dweblogic.ThreadPoolPercentSocketReaders=50 -Dweblogic.ThreadPoolSize=100 -Dweblogic.SelfTuningThreadPoolSizeMin=1000 -Dweblogic.MaxMessageSize=20971520 -Djava.library.path=/install/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/server/native/linux/x86_64
The AdminServer has been set with a similar MaxMessageSize, and the wlst from where I issue the custom() command, has been started with "-Dweblogic.MaxMessageSize=20971520" too.
To top it off, I checked the JVM's with jinfo to double check the weblogic.MaxMessageSize, and all do comply to the specified bytes, none being 10M of the error message.
I am able to reproduce the issue on Linux x64 as well as Solaris 11 Sparc.
Could it be related to the MBeans (as I assume)? When I only deploy 55 apps, the issue does not occur. Any other tips are welcome.

Here WLST would be acting as the client. It seems that you have placed the setting of the message max size on the server side (which is one part of the tuning), but you need to place the same to the WLST too or for that matter any other client like applet, stand-alone java code.
In short you can try the following, if you wish:
set the environment using setDomainEnv.sh/cmd and the run:
java -Dweblogic.MaxMessageSize=20971520 weblogic.WLST
Note: I read through your note about providing "-Dweblogic.MaxMessageSize=20971520" parameter to WLST, but not sure whether you have checked WLST process with jinfo or the WLS server nodes.
Also I am not sure what type of application you are using by you can consider passing the above property via System.property() call to the application.
Additionally, I would request you to share some more information, like the config (snippet), jinfo output, and WLST output if you try to locate the current MaxMessageSize value of the server by connecting to it, complete stack (if any).. in case the above does not help.
Note: I have tried this multiple times and it works like a charm. But from your notes it seems to a case of overridding of parameters value.

Need to blacklist (block) a large number of domains and email addresses

I tried to import a large number of domains into a transport rule (new/set-transportrule -name xxx -domainis $csv -quarantine $true).
I added a few domains manually and tested to make sure the rule was working. It was. Then I ran the cmdlet to import a small number of domains (4). That also worked. Then I ran the cmdlet on a large number of domains. The cmdlet
worked with no error message (once I got the list of domains well under 4096 bytes). I waited a day to see if the domains would show up in the rule. But the imported domains did not show up.
Is there a better solution to blocking large numbers of domains and email addresses? Or is the transport rule the only option?

Updating large number of Topics

Hello All,
I'm looking for some advice from the community regarding something my business users are looking at doing. They have an upcoming project, this upcoming project requires updating a large amount of procedures within a RoboHelp project, and during a project cutover weekend, these large number of changes will go live.
So up until the cutover weekend as users are updating the procedures, none of these changes can be made available until the cutover weekend; i.e. these changes must remain hidden. Along with these users making changes for this cutover weekend, users will be making daily changes and publishing these changes.
What's the best way to be working on these bulk changes, and come cutover weekend have these changes appear. Are there options to have these marked in draft, as the project is being generated, these changes are not be incorporated into the generated project. Also, for any of the updated topics, the previous version needs to be archived, and available under a separate archived section within the same project. Also, any links to the topic need to be maintained; i.e. if a topic is updated and replaced with a newer version, all links to the existing topic need to point to the new topic.
Just wondering if the community had some advice on how best to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance for the assistance!
Dave

Hi Dave. You have the following options:
Publish the help to a new separate location. Then at the appointed time change the link to the help file to point to it. This has the advantage that you have the archive and of course hiding the information from your users until the appointed time. You don't say how the help is accessed, but the disadvantage of this approach is that all links (i.e. any inside an application) would have to be changed.
Do not publish the output at all until the appointed time. You'd have to manually take a copy of the existing help for your archive. You could use the command line to generate the output at a specific time if need be.
My preferred option is solution 1.

Rman backup failure, and is generating a large number of files.

I would appreciate some pointers on this if possible, as I'm a bit of an rman novice.
Our rman backup logs indicated a failure and in the directory where it puts its files there appeared a large number of files for the 18th, which was the date of the failure. Previous days backups generated 5 files of moderate size. When it failed it generated between 30 - 40 G of files ( it looks like one for each database file ).
The full backup is early monday morning, and the rest incremental :
I have placed the rman log, the script and a the full directory file listing here : http://www.tinshed.plus.com/rman/

Varying number of columns within same text box

I am reposting this here as suggested. This has been submitted to the feature request. If you are also interested in this feature, please also submit it there.
here is original posting with replies:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?224@@[email protected]
One feature still missing (correct me if I am wrong) is to have number of columns applied to paragraphs not text boxes.
This is a constant hassal having to interupt the text box with a new text box and then another one after that just because you want a paragraph to be in muliple columns to save space for instance, or using some other work around like inline text boxes.
This is useful when trying to save space on a page, if you have short bullets, such as a list of items which if just left in a single column would leave a lot of white space to the right side of the column. Use this paragraph as an example. Pretend this is the lead in paragraph referring to the followng list. Include these items in your recycling:
-plastic bottles
-paper cups
-styrofoam
-tires
-fruit
-vegetables
-glass jars
-batteries
-cans
-drink boxes
-bones
-dairy products
-pet hair
-newspapers
-magazines
As you can see the list can get very long, and so breaking the list across a number of columns would really save space, as the bullets are just single words.
I have this situation everyday in the work I do and it is a real pain to have to redraw a new text box for each instance, and then another one to follow it.
And of course there is the whole headings that span multiple columns issue too.
I could forsee a feature where you would simply select the number of paragraphs and then change the number of columns. If it went to another page, then the number of comumns would still be applied as it is applied now to a text box.

Thanks for your suggestions, Eugene. That's what users helping users is all
about!
However, we build the document (a book with hundreds of pages)
automatically, importing and autoflowing tagged text. Manual intervention
doesn't meet the need.
It's silly that a title or introduction should have to be in a different
frame from the rest of the text, just because the title/intro is
single-column and the text is multi-column. Ventura Publisher supported
paragraphs spanning columns 20 years ago. Adobe, get with the times!

If you need to make it go from 1 column into multiple columns in a layout
then it stands to reason that you also need the content to remain in the
multiple columns.
There are various ways to do this.
1. Using Tables: You can have as many columns and rows as you like. The con
about this is that tables cannot break over pages, so you have to manually
split the cell so that the content fits.
2. Use Tabs: This can be awkward if your text is already in a list format,
it involves cut and paste and isn't "that" easy to implement. If the text
is already in a layout format that suits then putting in tabs would work
fine. The advantage is that this can break easily over pages/columns etc.
It's flexible to adjust the spacing etc. But it can be awkward to setup,
especially if there is a long list that needs to be in 2 or columns...
so then you have this option:
3. Use an anchored text frame: If you cut the content from your text frame
and paste it into a new text frame: Then anchor the new text frame into the
layout. You can specify the amount of columns in the anchored text frame.
The frame will move with the text, but just like tables, they won't split
over pages.
I've used all 3 on many occasions depending on what scenario came up -
different layouts need different workarounds.
But they shouldn't be work arounds, it should be just select this text and
put it into x amount of columns, and it should all flow without having to
do much else.
