DPS 6.3 read transformation question

I've a (non Sun) Directory where user entries are spread over several ou's .
A physical user can actually have several LDAP entries (each one with a "certificate-like" attribute)
with the same RDN, but under different ou's .
User entries under some of these ou's have a "ou" attribute, while users under the other ou's don't have one.
So, I'd like to use the DPS 6.3 read transformation feature to add a "ou" attribute for the LDAP entries located
under the ou's missing it. The virtual ou attribute 'd be computed by splitting the DN (or an entrydn such like
attribute) of the entry at a certain point .
Is this possible ? Any other way to proceed ?
(The aim is to have a "ou" attribute for each user entry, so that it can be used by DPS to map user certificates
(sent during SASL external BIND requests to DPS) to a unique user entry) .

Since I've about 25 ou's, it would require 25 subordinate virtual data views and a superior data view, which looks feasible to me.
According to http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2765/transformation_parameters?a=view , it looks possible to split a physical attribute to build a virtual one, but my main concern is that the physical attribute is actually not an attribute, it's the entry DN. So, even if there's an entrydn like operational attribute, I don't know if DPS 6.3 allows/supports its usage in such a case...
I may have to test it by myself ..

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

My MacBook Pro is running VERY slowly. After reading other questions and responses, I ran an EtreCheck, but do not know how to post the report here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've read similar questions and answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard. The only reason I want to is because I received an iPad which requires an updated system. I have an external hard drive. I have the disks to upgrade

I've read similar questions and have studied the answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard on my macbook pro. The only reason for doing it is in order to sync my macbook pro with my iPad. I do have an external drive which automatically backs up every hour. BUT.......I am techno-ignorant as well as techno-paranoid. I have the disks to update to snow leopard but knowing doing so may likely change/alter/lose/obliterate my current set-up, it actually makes me feel sick to think of it.
Years ago when updating via Apple Protection Plan tech support, my screen actually went blank, everything gone! The tech told me not to worry, that "we" would be able to restore things, but several hours later I was still looking at a primitive looking screen that wasn't anything like what I had before. His language was too technical, in that there was an assumption I understood things I had zero understanding of. Example: partition my external drive.
Anyway, living hundreds of miles from an Apple service provider, and no Apple techs in my community, I had to wait for a trip to an Apple Store where one of the wonderful guys at the genius bar spent a ton of time getting things back to normal and actually explaining it enough that I had a vague understanding.
So now I am in the predicament again and won't know what to do after installing the new disks and finding a likely mess or absence of documents etc. on my computer. I don't know how to access the external drive, and even if I did I wouldn't know how to move stuff from that to my computer.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat as you, I've used Mac's since day one and neglected my Windows education and now it has come to haunt me as I have to learn it like a school kid.
Nearly 99% of all businesses and nearly 95% of everyone use Windows, Steve Jobs declared "The desktop wars are over, Microsoft won" a long time ago.
By 2015 tablets are going to be selling to consumers more than traditional computers, your living proof, you got a iPad.
Apple has already discontinued the Xserver, the Xraid, the MacBooks and the 17" Macbook Pro.
Apple has introduced BootCamp in OS X 10.6 and up, this allows a partition and drivers so one can install Windows on a Mac.
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Why do you think they named it "BootCamp"
You can't run a older OS X version longterm like you have with 10.5 anymore, Mac's are being targeted for attacks and older OS X versions are dropped for security updates.
In fact your Mac might still be part of the 750,000 Mac strong Flashback botnet or infected.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_BackDoor.Flashback
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/04/how-to-check-forand-get-rid-ofa-mac-flashba ck-infection/
See here, Apple has no security updates for 10.5 users and soon 10.6 is going to be ignored next.
https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1222
1-1.5 years is the OS X upgrade cycle. Change everytime like it or not.
So I'm thinking about your long term future and how you obviously don't like change, need local assistance like it appears you first claimed.
So buy a new Mac and upgrade your OS X version whenever Apple shows it in AppStore.
When your machine can no longer upgrade to the newest OS X version, then you've got about another 2 more years of security updates before you have to buy a new machine or risk running a insecure one.

I'm of the maturity and experience that I know a Mac isn't always the best solution for everyone and even Apple doesn't provide the proper hardware, support or features for everyone. Why only store locations in high traffic ritzy areas?
Our SteveJobs fan here is under 18 years old with good eyes, he's not older like we are with bad or failing eyesight.
The new Mac's have hard to see glossy screens and the type/UI can't be scaled up easily to accomadate our older eyes, however a Windows 7 machine does allow up to 150% scale of the UI, type etc., and also there are anti-glare screen PC's and just about no more anti-glare screen Mac's.
I wrote this User tip in case you have trouble seeing the screen, at least you can scale the web browsing up
Web browsing for hard of seeing users
Apple might still be selling the anti-glare 15" non-retina on their online store, it's the "high resolution/anti-glare model"
But I can get a 17" 1080i HD anti-glare Windows 7 laptop at Sager for a lot more performance and screen size for the price than a Mac.
https://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=category_browse&selected_cat=2
Screen size is important as the UI and text can be scaled up for easier reading.
Of course you do now have the option of having Windows pre-installed alongside OS X to begin your transition to the dark side.
Just call and they will accomondate, hold the option/alt key at boot time to swtich operating systems.

Windows 7 looks just as good as OS X, the secret is having a good monitor with most PC's come with don't.
Good Luck and I hope I've given you a lot to think about.

DPS transformation question

I have a join view built from an LDAP secondary data view and a JDBC primary data view .
All the RDN's in the join view have the following syntax: "cn=fixed-prefix-value-variable".
So for example, I have the following RDN's in the join view:
cn=fixed-prefix-value1
cn=fixed-prefix-value2
I'd like to be able to remove the "fixed-prefix-" string from each cn attribute and RDN values in the join view,
so that the DN's look like:
cn=value1
cn=value2
I've seen any feature in DPS which would make it possible. True ? Is it planned ? If not, any suggestion on how to achieve that ?

Since I've about 25 ou's, it would require 25 subordinate virtual data views and a superior data view, which looks feasible to me.
According to http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2765/transformation_parameters?a=view , it looks possible to split a physical attribute to build a virtual one, but my main concern is that the physical attribute is actually not an attribute, it's the entry DN.

Transformation Question

Hi,
I have a unique question for everyone.
In one of my data load into a DSO, i need to update a target field either as override or Summation based on a input flag field.
Is this possible. I am open to writing code in any of the transformation routines.
Thanks
Niveda Sharma

Yes, you may have to write an End Routine & also read the same DSO which could cause long load times. Just evaluate and see if its worth it.
The logic would be in END Routine:
For the keys of the DSO (Result_Package) read the DSO with the same keys.
Based on the input_flag, add result_package-kf to DSO-kf, if you have to sum
else overwrite result_package-kf, if you have to overwrite.
Hope this helps

BODS ABAP transform question

Hi! This is a very simple question...
I've been trying to use ABAP transforms in BODS, and I'm having some difficulty with the documentation. In particular, it's not clear how exactly the extracted information from the ABAP program makes it into the BODS dataflow.
Does anyone have a clearer picture of how this is done?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
Are you checking for ABAP Dataflows or Custom ABAP transformations?

Java.nio read/write question

Hello,
I just started to learn the java.nio package so I decided to make a simple Echo server. I made a client which reads a line from the keyboard, sends it to the server and the server returns it. It all works except one little detail. Here's little code from the server:
                             int n = client.read(buffer);
                             if ( n > 0)
                                 buffer.flip();
                                 client.write(buffer);
                                 Charset charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
                                 CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder();
                                 charBuffer = decoder.decode(buffer);
                                 System.out.println(charBuffer.toString());
                                 buffer.clear();
                              }So that works, I send the data and then I receive it back. But only for the client. I also wanted the server to print the line which is the reason for the charset and the decoder. The above code however prints only a blank line. Thus I tried this:
                             int n = client.read(buffer);
                             if ( n > 0)
                                 buffer.flip();
                                 Charset charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
                                 CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder();
                                 charBuffer = decoder.decode(buffer);
                                 System.out.println(charBuffer.toString());
                                 client.write(buffer);
                                 buffer.clear();
                              }Or in other words I just moved the write() part downwards. So far so good, now the server was actually printing the lines that the client was sending but nothing was sent back to the client.
The question is how to make both, the send back line and the print line on the server side to work as intended. Also a little explanation why the events described above are happening is going to be more than welcome :)
Thanks in advance!

Genereting JSTL tags with an XSLT transformation question

Hi there!
I have some XML datas to display in a jsp file.
XML content is of this type:
<message>
<title>A message</title>
</message>
The most elegent way to present them is to transform XML via xslt into xhtml.
(that way I can externally change with ease the message formatting output without changing the jsp)
For that, I use the cool tag
<x:transform>
on each xml file i want to display (with x:foreEach)
The output produced for each xml file is:
<div class="message">
<h2>A message</h2>
</div>
My problem is now that I want to include custom tags in the generated content!
For exemple:
<div class="message">
<h2>A message<c:out ...></h2>
</div>
My question is:
how can I make that xslt generated tag to be executed???
Since it is the product of an xslt transformation ,I suppose it won't be executed at all...
Advices greatly appreciated! :)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "how can I make that xslt generated tag to be executed???"
You've got your XML input and the XSL-T stylesheet that will transform the XML input into an XHTML stream containing JSTL tags.
I'm assuming that you're going to ask a servlet to pass the XML input to the XSL transformer and get the XHTML output stream. Once you have that, the servlet will write the XHTML to the HTTP response output stream, where it'll be rendered by the browser.
I think the key is to make sure that you tell the browser that response type is a JSP (that's the only document type in which it makes sense to put JSTL tags). When the browser gets that JSP, it'll treat it like any other: generate .java code, compile that to a .class file, and then render.
I'm not sure about efficiency, but it sure is an elegant solution. - MOD

IDM Date Transformation Question

Hello,
I have a colunm in a Oracle database with a date format : DD/MM/YY.
But when I synchronize or reconcile this resource with IDM, the date value is transform to this format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.s in IDM.
How and where the transformation is realized ? (what form, xml file,...)
My problem is that I want to use this attribute to use "Last Predicate Search" in resource synchronization but it does not work because the date is tranform to a wrong format!
Can you help me ?
Thanks

JDeveloper BPEL Designer Tool: Transformation Question

Hello,
I am prototyping a small web service orchestration demo.
I have 3 Schema Elements - Request, IndividualResponse, and CombinedResponse
I invoke 3 web service invocations in parallel - each of which takes a Request and returns an IndividualResponse
I need to populate a single CombinedResponse with the contents of the 3 IndividualResponses.
When I try a transformation node (to map an IndividualResponse to a CombinedReponse), the IndividualResponses overwrite each other's information in a single node within the CombinedResponse. I want the contents of the IndividualResponses to go into separate nodes within the CombinedResponse.
Any ideas on how to do this in the Oracle JDeveloper BPEL Designer Tool?
Thanks!
-SN

Transformation by definition converts one xml format to another. What you need to do is perform multiple assigns to copy the individual responses to the combined response.

Transform question

In Java, I use javax.xml.transform to transform xsl/xml.
Here is part of the xsl:
    <node>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="node"/>
    </node>If there do not have node in the xml, then the output will be <node/> .
But here, I wanna to display <node></node>.
So, I want to ask, whether there have any method in transform class or any properties I can set in xsl.

The two variations are identical as far as XML is concerned. Why is it important to you to get one of them and not the other?

How do i read a question in javacc and be able to identify key tokens

hello everyone....
I need help. I am still new with javacc, i am trying to generate a parser that will accept a question and be able to recognise the keywords and the askword from the question. e.g a question like "what is HIV" . it is suppose to get "what" as the askword and "HIV" as the key
another example: "what are arv drug" "what" as the askword and "arv drug" as the key
below is the code for what i have done so far.... thanx in advance
Code:
PARSER_BEGIN(SMS_QUERY)
import java.io.StringReader;
public class SMS_QUERY {
public static void main(String args[]) throws ParseException{
SMS_QUESTION q = new SMS_QUESTION(System.in);
q.QUESTION();
System.out.println(q);
PARSER_END(SMS_QUERY)
SKIP :
| "\t"
| "\n"
| "\r"
void SMS_QUESTION() : {}
(NounPhrase())+ | AskWord() | AskWord() (NounPhrase())+ | <EOF>
void AskWord() : {}
Awhat()
void Awhat() : {}
"what" | "wht" | "wt" | "wyt" | "vat" | "wat"
void NounPhrase() : {}
key()
void key() : {}
q1key() | q2key() | q3key()
void q1key() : {}
"Arv" | "Arv Drugs" | "Arv drgs" | "Arv drgh"
void q2key() : {}
"HIV" | "Hi virus"
}
