Difference in performance of SBA between Windows and Unix

Hi,
I am using a MSF routine which uses SBA to recursively search a sysbld suprerblock and its children to find a specific type block (in this case a ucb). It works fine on both Windows and Solaris Xmath. However, for very large models, there is a huge performance difference. I ran the algorithm on a model containing around 1000 superblock and 10000 blocks. Under Solaris (7.1.5) it takes around 30 seconds while under Windows XP (7.1.6) it takes more than 8 minutes.
Any thoughts on the reason behind this difference.
Thanks
Farshid
P.S. The MSF file is attached

I'm aware I may get some flack for this statement.^^^Some. <grin>
I'll give you the counter-argument. Those Unix shops with incredibly stable environments? Have you done a count of actually used applications? The ones that mimic the business' current needs? The ones that reflect the business', uh, business? Perhaps it's just the clients I interact with, but those often have a mixture of "dead" apps in with the live ones. I rarely see that with Windows and yes, the app count is sometimes crazy high on the Unix side -- certainly beyond what EAS can comfortably navigate (I was on a 9.2 environment once that had 200+ apps -- Shared Services was essentially broken at that site, but so was 9.2 in general.)
Anyway, I've observed that IT tends not to do a terribly good job of producing flexible analytical applications. They are very good at stability, sustainability, security, and all sorts of other things Essbase (and other, especially transactional) environments must have. Until they become fossilized in their SOPs, their policies, and their requirements. At which point a different transformational technology that the business can control pops up -- heard of TM/1 lately? I am super curious (for all kinds of obvious reasons) to see where my beloved Essbase ends up in a few years.
I'm not coming down on either side, just saying that I've seen this play out multiple times since the mid-1980s. While both sides have their merits, at the end of the day, if a super well maintained environment is just a monument to IT's ego, it's worthless. And yes, I have seen Windows environments that are just that.

Problem between windows and unix

i got a class and a text file whith characters like '�' in it.
when i launch my class on windows there'no problem.
The file is read and the data are record in Oracle correctly (whith the accents).
When i copy the data and the class on unix i got '?' instead of '�' in Oracle.
Can anybody know why i got this problem ?

The default character encoding on your unix machine seems to support only ascii characters .
I recommend the following.
Open the text file in notepad . Do a "save as" . At this point set the encoding as "UTF-8" .
Transfer this file to the unix m/c.
When you run your java class , specify the default encoding for jVM as UTF8
This can achieved by specifying
java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 class
Hope this helps.

Media Foundation Source or H264 / AC3 differences between Windows and Phone 8?

I've got a working Matroska (MKV) Media Foundation Source for a Windows Store app (PC x86). It will play several different matroska files that contain H264 encoded video and AC3-encoded audio. It even has seek support. I've written the app
as a HTML/typescript Universal app with the MF Source as a C++ dll.
The problem is that the same code will not work on Windows Phone 8. I can play videos that don't require the external MF Source (i.e. MP4 files and AVI files) just fine on both platforms through my app, but the same MKV videos that played on an x86
PC will not play on Windows Phone 8 (Lumia 920).
I looked at the specs for the Snapdragon processor and it should be able to support both H264 at 720p resolution and AC3 (2-channel only). So I don't know what else I need to do to get this to work on WP8. The audio I'm trying to play is actually
6-channel, so that made me wonder if it was failing because WP8 supports 2-channel max, but I would have thought the audio just wouldn't work and the video would play normally.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
*edit* - just to be more specific, I can parse the file and create the presentation descriptor without errors. But when I finish opening the file and call the event for that, nothing else happens. What is weird is that the javascript video player
never throws the "canplay" event, nor does it throw the "error" event.
Lee McPherson

Thanks, not a bad suggestion to try.
On my Windows machine, I tried to get the MediaEncodingProfile via the createFromFileAsyc method. With a known file type, it outputs all properties of the video and audio streams (bitrate, etc). With an MKV file (container file with H264 video
and AC3 audio), I only get the type and subtype properties. Everything else is zero or null. This is because in my MFSource, I only set the type and subtype. This still allows the video to play on my windows machine. I assume the
built-in MFTransform for H264 video-to-uncompressed video parses the stream to get the relevant information. Likewise for audio.
On Windows Phone, when querying the file's MediaEncodingProfile, I get the same result. This is telling me that my MFSource will parse the file properly and set the subtypes for video and audio correctly. Everything else is still null or zero.
However, the file does not play. There is no returned event to the video element that it even *can* play.
Perhaps, I need to fill in the video and audio stream properties on the Windows Phone version. I really don't want to because that would mean having to parse some of the underlying video and audio streams themselves, not just parsing the container
information. (More work!) But this is what I mean when I ask about the differences between Windows and Windows Phone... perhaps the WP8.1 & Windows MFTransforms are different?
*EDIT* - I do get a JavaScript Console error that I didn't notice before: AUDIO/VIDEO: unknown MIME type. (VS error code: MEDIA12899)

Share iTunes libraries between Windows and MAC

Hi all i've an wifi via "Base AirPort" i've an HD shared between MAC and Windows sistem via the BASE, the iTunes library that i've stored in the HD is non redable for iTunes on Windows because it need an *.itl file...
How can i share an iTunes library between Windows and MAC???

I would like to report back that after struggling for months to get Tune Ranger to work that it is complete rubbish. The first time I tried to sync my libraries (between an empty iTunes library and my existing one) it created duplicates all over the place in my library and generally made a huge mess of everything. The support person (who I suspect is the only person over there) gave me some guff about my id3 tags being corrupt but it was clear that every song that appeared in a playlist was getting duped. Once I fixed this (many weeks later) I tried a one way sync after fiddling with the preferences of Tune Ranger to try to make it work, but it simply wouldn't.
I don't know if anyway has had success using TR where they are also trying to sync playlists, but if you have, I would certainly like to know what you settings are.

2-way Trust Relationship between Windows and Mac Domain

Hi guys I hope someone can help me.
Just a quick explanation of what I am trying to do.
I have an Xserve running OSX 10.5.8 server, which is the OD Master. On that server I’m running Kerio mail server. I have a Microsoft 2003 server running AD.
The problem is I need to run BlackBerry Enterprise on the Windows server as the BlackBerry need active directory to work.
Since I have both system already running, I do not want to destroy my open directory just to get the BlackBerry working.
So what I have tried to do is create a 2-way Trust Relationship between the 2 domains, so the BlackBerry server will talk to the Kerio mail server.
The trust relationship appears to create fine from the Windows server side, but I’m not able to retrieve LDAP information from the open directory server.
The creation from the OSX server starts fine automated but then I had to finish it manually.
Has anyone else here created a 2-way trust relationship between Windows and Mac’s before? Any help on how you did it would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you checked on when the computer last checked in and changed the computer account password with the domain? When a computer changes it's password, Active Directory will store only the current password and it does not expire. The workstation
will store both the current password and the previous password. This for cases when you may restore Active Directory to a point before the computer password change.
To handle this, the workstation will try it's current password, then it's previous.
If you're restoring the workstation to a previous point in time, you may be rolling the stored passwords back too far for Active Directory to accept. I would only imagine this to be the case a handful of times if you're going back 1-2 days.
Are you experiencing 100% failure?

How to find cd rom drive in windows and unix platform using java program

Hi,
I am having the requirement of finding the cd rom drive
using java program. I do not know the label and which
one is the cd rom drive. also I want to know how many
cd rom drives are there on my system. I want the solution
for windows and unix platforms.
If have any suggestions please mail to [email protected]
Deepak

Ughhh.. I had the same problem with multi platform file-system detection
First off - Unix.
Do you know for sure you have all your drives mounted?? This could be a big problem because java will not see unmounted drives... So you can scour thru your /etc/fstab to find out which drives are available... or you can mount all and show roots... (Yuck!)... You've got timeouts and all sorts of things to worry about...
I would then shy away from the java.io.File.listRoots() on unix and rely on parsing your fs file. If a user would like to see the medium in the drive. Do a Runtime.exec and mount the drive, then you can grab the filesystem by wrapping it in the java.io.File object. ( NOTE - this will hold well for your NFS mounts as well which might be buried under other FS. So you now have detection for that as well. ) Labels are also noted in this file. Let me know if you don't know the difference between mtab and fstab....
Second - Winders.... Corney but I love saying that.
The listRoots is a good solution. As others have said CD-ROMS will not be writable. Use a combination of getName and getPath to decipher the label and mount point.
Hope this helps!

String.getBytes (java) o/p different in Windows and Unix

Hi,
I was trying out the following code, which gives me a byte array from a
String object.
byte[] bytArr = null;
bytArr = <String object>.getBytes("UnicodeBigUnmarked");
System.out.println(bytArr.toString());
The output is different in Windows and in Unix. The assumed that the reason could be because Intel architecture is based on little_endian so the difference in output. I changed the code to the following
bytArr = <String object>.getBytes("ISO8859_1");
and then ran the class file by using "java -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1" so that the toString can also take the character encoding of ISO8859_1 rather than using the platform dependent one. Still the result is different in Windows and Unix.
What could be the reason for this? How can I correct this ? Any help in this regard is welcome.
cheers
kk

Hi Sabre150,
Thanks for the suggestion, it worked. Both the o/p shows the same if I use System.out.println(Arrays.toString(bytArr));
I am assigning full points to you. Thanks a ton for the help.
To end with I have one more question, the method Arrays.toString is introduced from jdk1.5, so if I want to use jdk 1.4 what should I use instead of Arrays.toString ?
It would be great if I can get this answer.
cheers

Webutil usage on Windows and Unix clients - Host and Temp dir issues

Hello,
I am in the process of writing a Forms application which makes use of WebUtil to handle the uploading and downloading of files, as well as launching the files on the client PCs. The code below is my current 'Launch' program which works great in a Microsoft Windows environment. It gets the TEMP directory location, builds a file name, downloads the file to the TEMP directory and uses the Host command to launch the file.
PROCEDURE Launch_DB IS
l_directory varchar2(200) := client_win_api_environment.get_temp_directory(true);
l_success boolean;
BEGIN
:file_block.full_file_name := l_directory || '\' || :file_block.file_name;
l_success := webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_with_progress
(clientFile => :file_block.full_file_name
,tableName => 'FILES
,columnName => 'FILE_DATA'
,whereClause => 'ID = ' || :file_block.id
,progressTitle => 'Download from Database in progress'
,progressSubTitle=> 'Please wait'
if l_success then
WEBUTIL_HOST.NONBLOCKING('CMD /C "' || :file_block.full_file_name || '"');
else
exception
when others then
message('File download failed: '||sqlerrm);
END;
My problem is that I've just discovered that there's a new group of users that will want access to these forms, and they're using non-windows machines - mostly Solaris and Linux. As such, I have these problems:
- " client_win_api_environment.get_temp_directory " is a Microsoft Windows specific function. Is there any way to determine a temporary storage area on a Unix machine?
- " WEBUTIL_HOST.NONBLOCKING('CMD /C "' || :file_block.full_file_name || '"'); " - CMD is Microsoft Windows specific function. What should I do to launch a file from Unix? (Sorry, my Unix skills are pretty minimal).
- I'm guessing that I'll need to determine the operating system so that I can use different methods to determine the TEMP dir, and to execute the HOST command. Assuming that Microsoft Windows and Unix variants are the only OS's that I need to provide access to, what is the best way to determine the client environment ( eg. IF UPPER(WebUtil_ClientInfo.Get_Operating_System) like '%WINDOWS%' THEN ... ELSE ... END IF; ) . I only have access to Windows XP for testing so I don't know what values "WebUtil_ClientInfo.Get_Operating_System" will return for any other OS.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Regards,
Michael.

Hi,
as far as launching the file goes, if teh program that runs the file exist on teh local computer, you can use teh host command in webutil to access teh program and file. CMD is what you use to open teh command line on windows, but the host command is supposed to work on the UNIX client as well.
For the temp directory, you have two options
The short term option: Pass the temporary directory name as a user variable to Forms when starting the application. This can be user specific if adding this information to the URL using teh otherparams parameter
The longterm option: Log a TAR with Oracle customer support to add a function to teh getClientInfo function that retruns the temporary directory for the authenticated user.

Compiling reports6i on Windows and Unix

Hi Friends,
I'm compiling reports6i on windows by opening the browser window online. But to my confusion when I run and save the report program, I only see the .rdf extension of the file. I just thought the executable version is .rep , so I thought I will see also this file type. My question is can the report program run without the .rep extension file?
Thanks

Thanks Hussein,
But I got this script from metalink > How to compile reports on windows and unix in batch mode:
For Windows Reports 6i
===============
REM WINDOWS COMPILE REPORT
::compile_report.bat
cls
Echo compiling Report .....
for %%f IN (*.rdf) do RWCON60 userid=scott/tiger@v817 batch=yes source=%%f
stype=rdffile DTYPE=REPFILE OVERWRITE=yes logfile=log.txt
ECHO FINISHED COMPILING
For Unix Reports 6i
============
#UNIX COMPILE REPORTS
#compile_rep.sh
for i in `ls *.rdf`
do
echo Compiling Report $i ...
rwcon60 userid=scott/tiger@bs817 batch=yes source=$i stype=rdffile
dtype=repfile overwrite=yes compile_all=yes
done
=======
I'm only concern with the unix output....is it ok if I have both file extensions? (.rdf and .rep)
Another concern is are the program name case-sensitive? I know unix is case-sensitive unlike windows.
So if I have a program name APXDCDFO.RDF , is it the same with
APXDCDFO.rdf or
apxdcdfo.RDF or
apxdcdfo.rdf
Thanks a lot

Incompatibilities between Windows and Macintosh

cant open PDF sent from windows to mac?

There are no incompatibilities between the PDF format as seen by Windows and Macintosh. You don't provide any real information as to (1) how you transmitted the PDF file from a Windows system to a Macintosh system and (2) what you used to open the PDF file on the Macintosh. In the former case, you could have corrupted the PDF file in transferring it between systems (note that PDF is not an ASCII file format, but rather, a binary file format). In the latter case, if you were using the Macintosh "Preview" program to read the PDF file, please try using a copy of the latest version of Adobe Reader. The Macintosh "Preview" program is not a reliable PDF display program.

Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?

We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
Thanks,
Matt

No, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

ITunes 9 - Using 'Home Sharing' between Windows and Mac libraries

I have my main iTunes music library stored on my Windows 7 PC. It is currently around 200Gb in size, so pretty large.
I want to be able to use 'Home Sharing' in iTunes 9 to access this library on my Macbook over my home wireless network.
I don't, however, want to copy the music files themselves over to this laptop, but simply access the library over the network, and play them via either iTunes 9 or Front Row.
I would appear that the Windows and Mac 'iTunes Library' xml files are incompatible. I can't 'Alias' the Windows library on the MacBook for this reason. Does 'Home Sharing' eliminate this problem? Is there a way of accessing the library on the Windows PC without copying all of the files over to the MacBook?
I want to maintain a single library (which is often changing with new podcasts etc), rather than 2 libraries which I have to keep in sync.
Does anybody have any ideas on this one? I'm sure I am not alone in having this problem.
Here's hoping...:)
