You're trying to call a method that doesn't exist.
1) You either have to do something different or create the method.
2) You need to learn to believe what the compiler is telling your. The answer is in the error message.
3) Your class also doesn't have a constructor.

    Can any one know how to do this--
    Thanks in Advance
    vamshi

    Hi Vamshi,
    You can not create extra buttons in Standard Query region.
    Alternatively you can create your custom region for the search and there you can add a button. If you don't need advanced region, you can create the custom region in place of standard one.

  • How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded

    I've about had it up to here with this new Photos scheme. I reorganised my Aperture libraries on both my iMac and MBA in preparation for this, delayed turning Photos on for a couple of days until I thought everything was ready based upon the limited advice that was out there, and then got stuck in an endless loop of "uploading" and "preparing" every time I opened Photos. There are 19,975 images in my Aperture library on the iMac. I was stuck at Uploading at anywhere between that number and 19,000 with no progress after hours of waiting. I tried all the tricks mentioned here including re booting, restarting the app, repairing/rebuilding the database, killing the "cloudd" process, etc.today Today when I restarted Photos, it now said I had 23,775 images to upload- 4000
    more than I have-and of course it got stuck there, like it has for the last week.
    I copied the previous Aperture library (pre Photos migration)back to my iMac and opened it in Aperture. Thankfully, all the photos I had taken on my iPhone this week during this Photos clusterphuck transition were in the Aperture Stream so I didn't lose any of those. I'm willing to give this whole thing one more shot. So  i need some advice. How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded (about 6000 of 19,000 images in the last 7 days) ? If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?

    How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded (about 6000 of 19,000 images in the last 7 days) ? If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?
    It is hard to say from your post, why the migration did not succeed in your case.
    by "stuck on upload" do you mean, you opened the Aperture library in Photos, and Photos converted it to a Photo Library, and then the upload to iCloud Photo Library did hang?  Or did already the upgrade to the Photo Library fail?
    If you want the Aperture library to upload to iCloud Photo Library, it needs to be on a disk formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the original image files must not be referenced. Referenced originals will not upload.
    Also, the upload may hang, if you do not have enough free iCloud storage, orr if one of the videos or photos in your library is in an unsupported format or corrupted.
    To start over, try to repair and rebuild the Aperture library before opening it in Photos. Try all Aperture Library First Aid options - starting with repairing the permissions.  (Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual)
    If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?
    You will have to delete the photos that are already in icloud too; otherwise you are risking duplicates.
    Can you launch Photos at all?  If yes, delete all photos in Photos and empty the Recently Deleted album. Wait for the deletion to sync to iCloud. Then delete the Photos.photolibrary.

  • Re: Satellite A500 - need some help with FN button and Toshiba programs

    Hi,
    The FN button, Eco button and other specialized buttons such as the one which opens Windows Media Player have stopped responding on my A500 PSAM3A-03P00E which runs Windows Vista. I can still change screen brightness with the FN button but no menu appears at the top of the screen.
    Also the Toshiba programs which are meant to run at start up such as PC Health Monitor are not auto starting, even though they are selected in System Configuration (msconfig).
    Bluetooth manager is however running at start up.
    I have previously had blue screen errors however they are not a problem since I updated the BIOS to 1.5 and uninstalled Zonealarms.
    Cheers

    Thanks all,
    All problems have been fixed after downloads of Toshiba value added package and the new version of PC Health Monitor (V1.3.2.0).

  • Several DAQmx Channels with Start and Clear Task VI's

    Hi,
    I'm trying to read in several DAQmx channels in a while loop. When I just place the channels within the while loop and connect them directly to the read VI's, everything is fine. But I read in the help, that this will slow down my system, because it's opening and closing the task each cycle. So I used Start Task and Clear Task VI's to open and clear them before and after the loop. But now it's only reading one of my channels in, although I wired all of them in exactly the same manner. Anyone has an idea, what I did wrong?
    Thanks,
    Miclas

    You would have seen the error if you had wired up and error indicator.
    You cannot run multiple tasks of the same type (i.e. an analog input) at the same time. What you read about stopping and closing tasks is correct but it was the only way your program could work. What you don't realize is that you can have multiple channels with a single task. If you used a physical channel constant, it would be something like 'dev1/ai0:2' if you had consecutive channels or 'dev1/ai0, dev1/ai2' for non-consecutive. Global channels are done in a similar fashion. You would have 'FSR1, FSR2, Knee Angle', etc.

  • ERROR with CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_OVERFLOW and RAISING clause (for Consolidation)

    Hello,
    When we run the Consolidation several times on the same data range several times the tool adds the results, so we need to execute in a single package a CLEAR data, the Currency Conversion and the Consolidation.
    Our package launches a ScriptLogic  with the following code:
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET C_ACCT=<all>
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET FLOW=<all>
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME= %TIME_SET%
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET GROUPS= %GROUPS_SET%
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET C_CATEGORY=%C_CATEGORY_SET%
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET ENTITY=<ALL>
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET C_DATASRC = <ALL>
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET CECO = <ALL>
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET INTCO = <ALL>
    *WHEN GROUPS
    *IS <>"LC", "EUR"
         *WHEN C_DATASRC
         *IS <>"INPUT","T_MAN"
              //Here, we need an instruction to erase the data

         *ENDWHEN
    *ENDWHEN
    *COMMIT
    *INCLUDE FXTRANS.LGF
    *INCLUDE CONSOLIDATION.LGF
    And when we run the package we get the following error:
    An exception with the type CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_OVERFLOW occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause
    Overflow in the operation *
    On the one hand, we want to solve the issue and, second, Is it normal that the tool accumulates the results when we run several times the consolidation?
    Best regards,
    Miguel.

  • Error with calculations and printing output

    Been a few months since I did any kind of java programming and cannot seem to figure out what is wrong with my program. It gives me an error with rentalCost when it goes to printout the value, does not seem calculate the values, and does not print any of the things I call for at the end. Maybe I need a seperate class or the if/else statements are wrong. The point of the program is for fun, but is to calculate the cost for a cabin based on certain coniditions the user inputs.

    At the very least you need to tell us what you expected this code to do and what it actually did...

  • [SOLVED] errors with fdisk and cryptsetup; is my drive going bad?

    I'm having issues with re-formatting an external hard drive using dm-crypt. It was previously formatted with TrueCrypt/NTFS, which I used as a shared backup drive between Windows and Arch. At some point, it stopped being able to mount, which I attributed to allowing Windows to "fix" it after improper dismount (e.g. a hard kill).
    I decided to re-format with ext4 and only use it from Arch, but now I'm wondering if I may have a hardware issue with the drive. I've tried a lot more (like going through the full zero write after mounting the drive as a temporary dm-crypt device), but here's the condensed version to illustrate the problem.
    system info
    This is on a fresh boot. Just adding that as I've had issues with kernel modules after updating if a new kernel comes through. A fresh boot removes that potential issue.

    Things also tend to hang with respect to the drive at this point. For example, fdisk -l spits out /dev/sda partitions immediately and then just hangs instead of printing out /dev/sdb info, then eventually quits (without ever writing it).
    Any suggestions on where to look/how to troubleshoot? I found some possibly related posts, but nothing that looks promising:
    - Impossible to crypt the drive using cryptsetup (fixed by rebooting)
    - cryptsetup fails to open Udev cookie 0xd4d94f5 (semid 0) waiting for z (no responses; the hang after seems similar)
    There's a couple odds and ends references to cryptsetup 1.6.6 having issues. I downloaded 1.6.4-1 and 1.6.5-1 and -2 from ARM to try, but wanted to post this in the meantime in case something stuck out.

    @qinohe I thought of that and the other day started formatting with mkfs.ext4; unfortunately, it was at work and I had to leave before I could let it finish. It had been chugging along a good few hours, and I was surprised it would take that long. I was able to format it with ext4 using Windows 7 (I dual boot) with the MiniTool Partition Wizard but I didn't use it like that before trying to solve the cryptsetup issue again.
    This last time around, I was getting unresponsive behavior. I think I need to reboot each time I try something with cryptsetup, as any commands related to that drive seem to hang afterwards (fdisk, umount, eject, mkfs, or trying crypsetup again). Perhaps I'll just let it cook overnight with mkfs and see if I can at least have an unencrypted, but functional drive.
    One interesting tidbit is that even though cryptsetup fails, when I've tried to issue mkfs afterward, it asks me to confirm that I want to format the disk since it has a LUKS header... so something appears to have been written. Is it possible the header is causing some issues? I don't know much about the structure of a disk (like what range the MBR resides in, what constitutes a header, etc.) but have been wondering if there's some way to start really, really clean with the disk. Like I'd just bought it -- something appears to be lingering around from previous efforts?
    @frostschutz I'll check tomorrow. That's a good question. Just checked journalctl and here are some of the errors that appear; unfortunately, I wasn't watching so I can't tell you what matches up with what command:
    May 23 09:32:22 arch_840 systemd-udevd[7784]: inotify_add_watch(7, /dev/sdb1, 10) failed: No such file or directory
    May 23 09:32:22 arch_840 kernel: usb 3-4: stat urb: status -108
    ### there's lots like this; like 10 in a row with various sector values listed
    May 23 09:32:19 arch_840 kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev sdb1, logical block 61341696, lost async page write
    May 23 09:32:19 arch_840 kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 490735616
    ### there's also a bunch like this, from tab #0 -> #29 (not colored red, so not sure they're errors?)
    May 23 09:32:19 arch_840 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] tag#0 CDB: opcode=0x2a 2a 00 1d 07 bc 10 00 04 00 00
    May 23 09:32:18 arch_840 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] tag#0 uas_eh_abort_handler 0 uas-tag 1 inflight: CMD OUT
    I paged down quite a ways and those seem like the unique messages when I search the journal for "sdb". Anything stand out? I will say that the same sector numbers appeared in multiple blocks of the third error type listed, so that makes me wonder if something is genuinely wrong with the disk. I'll post the output of the full smartctl scan when I hopefully run it tomorrow.
    Thanks for chiming in!

  • [Partially Solved] Error with bsdtar and symbolic links

    I'm trying to install a package (asymptote) from AUR but am running into an odd error.  During the extract phase I get errors like
    asymptote-1.70/base/asy-keywords.el: Can't update time for asymptote-1.70/base/asy-keywords.el: Function not implemented
    bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
    I found a post that may help: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50750.  Do I really have to do this?
    By the way, I too am running on a Linode (Xen virtualization).
    Thanks,
    Luis

    I have not got to the bottom of my problems with bsdtar and symlinks.  I suspect it must have something to do with either my configuration (derived from the Arch image provided by Linode) or running under virtualisation.
    However, others might find my work-around useful, so I document it below.
    I downloaded asymptote from AUR using wget ("wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/asymptote/asymptote.tar.gz"), unpacked it, then patched the PKGBUILD
