DOP question

Hello All:
I am trying to understand the behaviour of the pq slaves, the qc is going to spawn, when table and index is defined 8. In other words where comes the role of the index DOP in the execution plan. Is there is rule of thumb on defining dop on tables and its associated indexes.
Thanks

parallel execution will be used
- for full table scans
- for sorts
- likely for index fast full scan
- during index creation and rebuilds (but who does that anyway)
This means for the majority of access paths, DOP will be ignored.
Also, as parallel execution is essentially unscalable, it is useful when there is no way to avoid full table scans only.
A normal index unique scan, or index range scan will never be parallellized, or by O/S algorithms.

Dropbox/cloud storage question (help i feel like a dope)

for some reason my brain has never allowed me to understand how to handle an issue with dropbox and (kind as they are) my previous inquiries to the dropbox folks have never cleared this up for me. it /seems/ like it is a practical question with real and serious consequences but i am feeling particularly thick about it and am always stuck like a deer in the headlights when i run into it. anyone able and willing to walk me past this?
here is the scenario:
i have moved data onto dropbox from either my desktop machine or from my laptop machine. it is hours and hours later and i am now on the laptop and i see a red X on the dropbox icon.
can you please explain to me in detail what i need to do at this point? for instance, i don't know whether i moved a large folder with subfolder and files and subfiles and whether this included other un-nested folders or other un-nested files and i am confused as to what the red X means.
i mean, presumably if i buy additional storage all the files will be synced up on dropbox and accessible from my two computers and the data that i MOVED from the computers (and that put me over the limit) will not be on the computer that i MOVED it from?!
what happens if i /don't/ upgrade?
can you please tell me how i handle this assuming i don't pay dropbox to make more space?
i mean - i guess all the data is there but - well but what??

When you move a file to Dropbox you are actually moving it to a folder on your Mac called 'Dropbox'. Dropbox then syncs this folder to the server.
If you put more data in the folder than your limit, Dropbox won't sync it. The files will simply stay there - they aren't in Dropbox, they are on your Mac. If you move the excess files out syncing will start again. So what you propose will work.
In this situation there are some files in your Dropbox folder which are also on the server, and some - those over the limit - which aren't. If you move the latter out of the folder then no change has been made. If you move some of the files which have been synced, those files will be removed from Dropbox and if this brings you under the limit syncing will resume.

Parallel Execution questions

Hi everyone, i have few questions about Parallel Execution.
1- Query Coordinator to scan the table, split up the table to the processes. But, each process take different number of rows. For example, in oracle 10g database architecture, thomas kyte gave an example:
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM BIG_TABLE"
It is distributed to 4 processes. One process take 1000 rows, another process 1200 etc. Why this is not equal? How the number of rows is determined by the QC?
2- If we do not determine the degree of parallelism ( /*+ PARALLEL(B) */ instead of /*+ PARALLEL(B,16) */ ) how the cbo determine the degree of parallelism?
3- in the explain plan i see lots of thing i do not know. For example :
:TQ10000
what is that?
-> TQ, IN-OUT, PQ_Disturb columns?
thanks for responses.

Hi
Why this is not equal? How the number of rows is determined by the QC?The number of rows is not used to split the table. Data is split in granules and distributed to the slave processed based on two methods:
- partition granules: a whole partition is given to a specific slave process
- block range granules: range of blocks are given to each slave process
So, depending on the size of the granules, one slave process might process much more data than another.
If we do not determine the degree of parallelism how the cbo determine
the degree of parallelism?It depends on the configuration. In fact, there is a default at session level, at system level and at table level. Depending which ones are set, a DOP is chosen. In addition, the DOP might be decreased at runtime (before the execution starts, not dynamically during it).
For example : :TQ10000 what is that?Producers send data to consumers through so called "table queues" (TQ). The number, in your case 10000, is just a identifier generated by the database engine.
TQTable queue, e.g.: TQ10000 -> Q1,00
IN-OUTThis is the relationship between parallel operations. E.g. P->P means that a parallel operation sends data to another parallel operation.
PQ_Disturb columns?This is the method used to distribute rows. E.g. RANGE means that the producers send specific ranges of rows to different consumers.

New service 30 day policy question

Long story short, i was told by a verizon rep over the phone before i even became a customer, if i order a droid2, can i swap it for the droid x within my 30 days. Due to at the time the droidx wasnt and still isnt available, and it has yet to be in store. Today is my 30th day, and my question is if i cancel my service completely, can i reactivate the next day, same number, with 30 days again?
edit:
I know i would end up getting some money back, and having to pay a bit out of pocket to get the service up and running but ive recieved the run around so far from in store and over the phone reps. I cant order the droid x unless i give up my droid 2, and they dont have a loaner phone. I cant order over the phone because id have to pay full price of the droidx before they even mailed it to me. The whole time i just wanted the right phone but i couldnt wait to port my number, and the X has been back ordered for a while now. Only if they would honor me additional time for something that is no ones fault for being delayed.
Thanks.

besides, i wouldn't even worry yet. if you watched the forums for the first few weeks the htc inc was out, it had a number of problems on here as well....including volume/call quality. go through the incredible threads from the beginning of may and you'll see that there was at least as many complaints/issues with the inc. overall, the X has got GREAT reviews and i'd bet that over 99% of x users are totally satisfied with it. these forums can scare people off because it is mostly the handful of users that have a problem. you don't see the few hundred thousand users that love it on here. they are busy playing with their dope new phone....lol

I've few questions here:
1) What would be the optimal DOP for DDL to run when the query is running at a DOP 8
2) Can that be also 8?
3) Is there any way to estimate the time that will be taken by CREATE TABLE if I go with DOP 8?
3) Can I use NOLOGGING here? Does that show any significant difference in time(as we could skip REDO) ?
Our database is in noarchive log mode and the table we are creating here is a just a dummy table, which would be dropped once after we export the dump.
Please help me out, unfortunately I'm not able to test this on other environments because we don't have same config as of PROD.

Yes - no need to log since you have the source data available if you need it.

What reaction, if any, can we expect from Verizon in regards to the T-Mobile program to pay early cancellations fees? (This is sort of a 2-part question)

A brief rundown here...over the last 7 or 8 years, I've had 2 carriers, T-Mobile, with whom I was pretty happy and then Verizon for the majority of that time, due to a friend of mine working there. He is no longer with the company, however. Here's the dilemma. Today, I managed to slam my Samsung Brightside in a car door (jacket pocket, jacket not all the way out) and the sole redeeming feature of that otherwise useless phone is that it took repeated drops to the floor really well. I have probably dropped that thing more than my previous 4 phones combined and maybe squared.
Anyway, the long and short of it is that the Brightside is no longer under the 12 month warranty and it doesn't look like I really have any good options here, aside from trying to hunt down a used one and suffering through another year of a phone I increasingly detest. If I have to get a smartphone, I may as well look at making a move to whoever is going to charge me less for services fees, etc. and right now that is T-Mobile. The basic questions here are: is Verizon going to get to be price competitive and for my particular situation, what can Verizon do for me specifically?
I will be in a Verizon store tomorrow, but a few of the deals that are attractive seem to also be internet only. I am looking to be back in order tomorrow, one way or the other, as my phone is not really functional at all, so if anyone at Verizon has some answers or solutions to keep me in the house of Big Red, I'd love to hear them...quick.
Feel free to email me directly if you want, but don't bother calling...for the reason mentioned. Thanks.

Well first off unless you had the supplement insurance verizon will not replace a phone broke in a car door. That is physical damage and is not covered.
At present you can use if qualified the device payment plan which is full price spread out over 12 months with so much down and the rest paid over the year. There is a $2 fee per month for this plan. However if you have unlimited data etc on the plan now you keep it. That is a plus for many customers.
You can use the edge plan, you pay so much and after a certain time frame after paying half the phone cost you can trade in the phone and get a new super doper phone, again you pay so much down and can do this over and over. However if you have unlimited data you lose it. The cost of data is very expensive and read the posts here about problems with actual usage versus what was never used before.
Or you can pay full price for the device or get another device from a friend or buy a cheap device from a place off the net.
Good Luck

OK fellow DVDSP'ers -
I have been using DVDSP4 for some time now, and have enjoyed the apparent ease with which I have been able to address some issues I have had in the past, but some recent posts I have read have led me to question whether these issues are truly fixed. Can anyone tell me definitively whether using the following features and/or workflow can produce turly spec-compliant DVDs with DVDSP? Hal? (though I know you are in PAL-land) Jake? Chris V.?
Issue 1 - 16:9 menus designed for pan&scan
If I create 16x9 menus with a 4:3 title safe area for pan&scan display, will they display correctly on 4:3 playback. Use to be that the button overlays would not get streched correctly, requiring a parallel set of menus with subpicutres for each aspect ratio, but I haven't had to do that since DVDSP4. I have not heard of any problems with the discs I have done this way so far, but can I trust it?
Issue #2 - 24p encoding
I have been using Cinema Tools to remove standard pulldown from feature films when possible. I then drop in markers in a 23.98 sequence in FCP, and then encode using the 23.98 setting in Compressor. I have not had any troubles with playback on my discs, nor error reports from our replicators. However, this post has made me uneasy about trusting my 23.98 encodes. I know that Mikey is using a hardware encoder, whereas I am using the Apple software-based workflow., Does anyone think I might be susceptible to the same problems Mikey is having?

Hey Max,
coming from the person that has posted on both these issues...
the way you have done it (essentially doubling your menus) is a good work-around. however, you can read this post: my original post
as far as 24p encoding, i am coming from a specific hardware encoder moving my files via-network. i am still trouble shooting this specific problem and i am narrowing it down to my network.
the zipping to FTP from NT worked. meaning that i zipped the .m2v in question and uploaded to FTP. i then downloaded said file and unzipped on mac and it worked.
so it's starting to look like my network is actually changing my header information.
since i dont encode video on my mac (with the encoders available) i cant say if the 24p video created from this works.
also, i am not importing a 24p file into my DVDSP (like you can do via-export from FCP and can encode in compressor as such) but a 29.97 file with "inverse telecine".
but you did raise an interesting point (not to mention my interest) in this method, so i will capture 24p material and see how DVDSP handles it.
i wouldnt worry too much, i think i aimed the 24p post more to people that have the mpx3000 encoder and use it with DVDSP.
it would be interesting to see someone that uses the sonic encoders in the same fashion as i to give feedback.
so, i guess its my network that is making everything get buggy, not DVDSP (as far as i can tell).
the menu problem is TOTALLY different though
striaght dope served (i like your subject)

Web Uploading question

I want to upload my page to my web site. The box, Put in Subfolder is checked (in this case "Olive General". Will the upload process create a subfolder called "Olive General" in my site or do I need to make the subfolder first (I still use GoLive CS2) upload it to my site then go back to LightRoom and upload my web show?
New to LightRoom, but loving it.
Thanks

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either. I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either. Anybody...?
Thanks!

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Basic question

Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
Name Quantity
and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail? for standard dso and for write optimized?
NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
thanks

Hi Vik,
Yes, the load will fail.
May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
Hope this helps.

Mid 2010 15" i5 Battery Calibration Questions

Hi, I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz i5.
Question 1: I didn't calibrate my battery when I first got my MacBook Pro (it didn't say in the manual that I had to). I've had it for about a month and am doing a calibration today, is that okay? I hope I haven't damaged my battery? The calibration is only to help the battery meter provide an accurate reading of how much life it has remaining, right?
Question 2: After reading Apple's calibration guide, I decided to set the MacBook Pro to never go to sleep (in Energy Saver System Preference) and leave it on overnight so it would run out of power and go to sleep, then I'd leave it in that state for at least 5 hours before charging it. When I woke up, the light on the front wasn't illuminated. It usually pulsates when in Sleep. Expectedly, it wouldn't wake when pressing buttons on the keyboard. So, what's happened? Is this Safe Sleep? I didn't see any "Your Mac is on reserve battery and will shut down" dialogues or anything similar, as I was asleep! I've left it in this state while I'm at work and will charge it this afternoon. Was my described method okay for calibration or should I have done something different?
Question 3: Does it matter how quickly you drain your battery when doing a calibration? i.e is it okay to drain it quickly (by running HD video, Photo Booth with effects etc) or slowly (by leaving it idle or running light apps)?
Thanks.

A1. You're fine calibrating the battery now. You might have gotten more accurate readings during the first month if you'd done it sooner, but no harm has been done.
A2. Your machine has NOT shut down; it has done exactly what it was supposed to do. When the power became critically low, it first wrote the contents of RAM to the hard drive, then went to sleep. When the battery was completely drained some time later, the MBP went into hibernation and the slepp light stopped pulsing and turned off. In that state the machine was using no power at all, but the contents of your RAM were still saved. Once the AC adapter was connected, a press of the power button would cause those contents to be reloaded, and the machine would pick up again exactly where you left off. It is not necessary to wait for the battery to be fully charged before using the machine on AC power, but do leave the AC adapter connected for at least two hours after the battery is fully charged. Nothing that you say you've done was wrong, and nothing that you say has happened was wrong.
A3. No, it does not matter.

Jabber/WebEx Connect SSO Questions

I've got a few questions around exactly what needs to be done to get SAML working for our Connect accounts to successfully authenticate from Jabber for Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android.
We have both a Meeting Center and Connect account under WebEx using Loose Coupled Integration. Just this past week I enabled SAML for our Meeting Center accounts which went off without a hitch with the exception of Meeting Center integration with Jabber, which is now broken with a message about SSO enabled Meeting Sites not being supported (I think this would maybe be fixed if we had Tight Coupled Integration with our two account?).
Anyway, my questions are...
For Windows, I understand all clients will need to be reinstalled with the MSI argument for the SSO_ORG_DOMAIN switch I've read about, is that correct? Are there any other switches needed for the reinstall?
How will this work with the Mac and mobile clients? There's obviously no command line options to specify for the installations here, will they just know to kick over to my IdP for authentication once they see an email address that falls under an org with SSO enabled? If so, why does the Windows client need to be completely reinstalled and not just know to find the IdP from the Cloud Connect service like Meeting Center does with the Productivity Tools?
We're just doing this for our Connect Web IM accounts, not attempting any sort of SSO with the phone accounts/UC integration yet.
Any ideas on getting the Meeting Center integration into Jabber working again?

I'd suggest posting your question over on the Jabber Pilot forum, as this forum is specific to Jabber Guest questions:
