Exercise rights
Hi
I would like to have a better understanding of the rights n Treasury:
The scenario is like this:
1 Original stocks 101 (01A)-> 1000 Shares
2 Rights for the above 501 (03A)-> Swap ration numerator- 2 Swap ratio denominator -1 (ie for every 2 stock you have right to get one additional stock) Period from 08/16/09 to 08/31/09 Sub price 4 50 USD.
3 I created corporate action and posted the same. Till now no issue.
4 Now I want to exercise the right. My assumption is I shoud get 500 Rights since I am holding 1000 of the underlying stock. However
I find the following entries in the post process flows in the Generated flows:
a) 501 RHT0002 Rights: Position outflow units/nominal 500.00
b) 101 RHT0001 Rights: Position inflow units/nominal 250.00
c) 101 RHT0003 Rights: Position inflow amount
In the payment flows the following entries are generated:
RHT 0006 Rights: Outgoing payments 1125.00
I am unable to comprehend the above entries.
As per my understanding my entitlement is 500 and my outflow should hav ebeen 4250.00 USD.
Appreciate if some one is able to clarify this calculation.
Regards
Sivakumar Gopalakrishnan
Hi,
By subscription right ratio, it is specifying the number of old stock you require to acquire the number of rights and not the new stock directly.
Hence with 1000 shares, your subscr rights ratio of 2/1 you will get 500 rights. This will be the rights posted in your rights class. This is specified in the corporate action.
No of new stock depends on Sub Ratio numerator / Sub ration denom specified in the subscription class. Here assuming this to be 2/1 you will get 1 new stock for every 2 rights. Thus you will have 250 new stocks for 500 rights.
There is market value of old stock and subcription right value specified in the corporate action.
Your new stock is 250 and subscription price is 4.50 USD. Thus your outgoing payment is 250*4.50 which is 1125.
Regards,
Ravi

Script to download source packages
Hi there,
I've made a Bash script "getsrc.sh" which download easily and quickly source packages from AUR or ABS (dependencies : yaourt and makepkg). The idea is just to do in one command, something we usually do in several commands (I use yaourt -G, then makepkg -o). Example :
/home/ehmicky $ getsrc gnome-terminal
/tmp/gnome-terminal/src/gnome-terminal-3.2.1 $ ls
aclocal.m4 AUTHORS ChangeLog ChangeLog.pre-2-23 ChangeLog.README config.guess
config.h.in config.sub configure configure.ac COPYING depcomp
gnome-doc-utils.make gnome-terminal.desktop.in.in HACKING help install-sh ltmain.sh
Makefile.am Makefile.in missing mkinstalldirs NEWS omf.make
po README src xmldocs.make
It's just a Bash script you need to source in your ~/.bashrc if you want to use :
source /path/to/getsrc.sh
I didn't package it cause I'm new to Archlinux and still uncomfortable with the packaging procedure right now.
I'm really not sure this might be useful for anyone (it might probably be useless indeed). I guess there are already alternatives doing just the same thign, but since while googling for it, I didn't bump into them, I thought I could post this script just in case.
Do getsrc -h for usage.
Here is the script file :
#!/bin/bash

# GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
# Version 3, 29 June 2007
# Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
# Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
# of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
# Preamble
# The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
# software and other kinds of works.
# The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
# to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
# the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
# share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
# software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
# GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
# any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
# your programs, too.
# When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
# price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
# have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
# them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
# want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
# free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
# To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
# these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
# certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
# you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
# For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
# gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
# freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
# or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
# know their rights.
# Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
# (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
# giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
# For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
# that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
# authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
# changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
# authors of previous versions.
# Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
# modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
# can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
# protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
# pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
# use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
# have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
# products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
# stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
# of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
# Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
# States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
# software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
# avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
# make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
# patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
# The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
# modification follow.
# TERMS AND CONDITIONS
# 0. Definitions.
# "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
# "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
# works, such as semiconductor masks.
# "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
# License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
# "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
# To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
# in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
# exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
# earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
# A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
# on the Program.
# To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
# permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
# infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
# computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
# distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
# public, and in some countries other activities as well.
# To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
# parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
# a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
# An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
# to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
# feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
# tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
# extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
# work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
# the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
# menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
# 1. Source Code.
# The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
# for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
# form of a work.
# A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
# standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
# interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
# is widely used among developers working in that language.
# The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
# than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
# packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
# Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
# Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
# implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
# "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
# (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
# (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
# produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
# The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
# the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
# work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
# control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
# System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
# programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
# which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
# includes interface definition files associated with source files for
# the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
# linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
# such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
# subprograms and other parts of the work.
# The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
# can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
# Source.
# The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
# same work.
# 2. Basic Permissions.
# All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
# copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
# conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
# permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
# covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
# content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
# rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
# You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
# convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
# in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
# of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
# with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
# the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
# not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
# for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
# and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
# your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
# Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
# the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
# makes it unnecessary.
# 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
# No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
# measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
# 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
# similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
# measures.
# When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
# circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
# is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
# the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
# modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
# users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
# technological measures.
# 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
# You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
# receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
# appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
# keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
# non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
# keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
# recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
# You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
# and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
# 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
# You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
# produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
# terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
# a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
# it, and giving a relevant date.
# b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
# released under this License and any conditions added under section
# 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
# "keep intact all notices".
# c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
# License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
# License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
# additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
# regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
# permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
# invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
# d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
# Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
# interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
# work need not make them do so.
# A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
# works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
# and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
# in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
# "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
# used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
# beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
# in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
# parts of the aggregate.
# 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
# You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
# of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
# machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
# in one of these ways:
# a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
# (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
# Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
# customarily used for software interchange.
# b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
# (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
# written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
# long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
# model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
# copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
# product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
# medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
# more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
# conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
# Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
# c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
# written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
# alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
# only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
# with subsection 6b.
# d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
# place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
# Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
# further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
# Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
# copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
# may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
# that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
# clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
# Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
# Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
# available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
# e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
# you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
# Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
# charge under subsection 6d.
# A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
# from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
# included in conveying the object code work.
# A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
# tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
# or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
# into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
# doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
# product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
# typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
# of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
# actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
# is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
# commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
# the only significant mode of use of the product.
# "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
# procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
# and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
# a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
# suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
# code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
# modification has been made.
# If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
# specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
# part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
# User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
# fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
# Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
# by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
# if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
# modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
# been installed in ROM).
# The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
# requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
# for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
# the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
# network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
# adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
# protocols for communication across the network.
# Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
# in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
# documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
# source code form), and must require no special password or key for
# unpacking, reading or copying.
# 7. Additional Terms.
# "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
# License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
# Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
# be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
# that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
# apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
# under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
# this License without regard to the additional permissions.
# When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
# remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
# it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
# removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
# additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
# for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
# Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
# add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
# that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
# a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
# terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
# b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
# author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
# Notices displayed by works containing it; or
# c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
# requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
# reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
# d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
# authors of the material; or
# e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
# trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
# f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
# material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
# it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
# any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
# those licensors and authors.
# All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
# restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
# received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
# governed by this License along with a term that is a further
# restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
# a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
# License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
# of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
# not survive such relicensing or conveying.
# If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
# must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
# additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
# where to find the applicable terms.
# Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
# form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
# the above requirements apply either way.
# 8. Termination.
# You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
# provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
# modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
# this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
# paragraph of section 11).
# However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
# license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
# provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
# finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
# holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
# prior to 60 days after the cessation.
# Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
# reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
# violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
# received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
# copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
# your receipt of the notice.
# Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
# licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
# this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
# reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
# material under section 10.
# 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
# You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
# run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
# occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
# to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
# nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
# modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
# not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
# covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
# 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
# Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
# receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
# propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
# for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
# An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
# organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
# organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
# work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
# transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
# licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
# give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
# Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
# the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
# You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
# rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
# not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
# rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
# (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
# any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
# sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
# 11. Patents.
# A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
# License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
# work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
# A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
# owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
# hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
# by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
# but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
# consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
# purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
# patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
# this License.
# Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
# patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
# make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
# propagate the contents of its contributor version.
# In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
# agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
# (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
# sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
# party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
# patent against the party.
# If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
# and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
# to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
# publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
# then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
# available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
# patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
# consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
# license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
# actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
# covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
# in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
# country that you have reason to believe are valid.
# If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
# arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
# covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
# receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
# or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
# you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
# work and works based on it.
# A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
# the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
# conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
# specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
# work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
# in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
# to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
# the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
# parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
# patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
# conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
# for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
# contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
# or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
# Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
# any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
# otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
# 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
# If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
# otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
# excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
# covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
# License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
# not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
# to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
# the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
# License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
# 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
# Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
# permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
# under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
# combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
# License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
# but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
# section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
# combination as such.
# 14. Revised Versions of this License.
# The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
# the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
# be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
# address new problems or concerns.
# Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
# Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
# Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
# option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
# version or of any later version published by the Free Software
# Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
# GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
# by the Free Software Foundation.
# If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
# versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
# public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
# to choose that version for the Program.
# Later license versions may give you additional or different
# permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
# author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
# later version.
# 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
# THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
# APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
# HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY

# WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
# THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY

# SUCH DAMAGES.
# 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
# If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
# above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,

# END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
# How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
# If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
# possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
# free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
# To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
# to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
# state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
# the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
# <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

Create a second database from an existing ORACLE_HOME
DB Version:11.1.0.6.0
OS : AIX
We have a database running for an OLTP test environment. We need to create another database of same version (11.1.0.6.0) for Datawarehousing needs. The init.ora parameter are going to be different for this. So we need to create another database.
We are having some issues with dbca due to some JAVA related errors. So, we need to use the 'CREATE DATABASE' statement.
This is what i am going to do.
1. create an init.ora file for the new db and copy it to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
2. Set the env variables
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export ORACLE_SID= <sid of the database which i am going to create>
3.
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> startup nomount pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initora318.ora
4. Copy, Paste the Create Database statement.
Are these steps right?
I know that Enterprise Manager would not be configured using this method. But configuring EM shouldn't be a complex exercise.Right?
Edited by: N.Page on 11-Sep-2009 00:28Just a small note: You can save "database create scripts" from dbca in any other system(use the same main version please) if your db server has issues. In this way you can get the original scripts and you wont forget any steps...

Where should I put the conc mgr mid-tier or backend ?
Hello All,
Is there any advantage to putting the conc mgrs on the mid-tier as opposed to the database tier other than saving some memory usage on the database tier ? All the work would be carried out on the database tier wouldn't it ?
thanks
DaveHi,
What I was really looking for was, if there is some particular advantage I could gain from putting the mgrs on the mid-tier ? The main advatange is having all the application tier files on one node which make it easier to maintain than having the application tier nodes split on both tiers. In this case, you will have to patch the application only once (not on every node where APPL_TOP is presented).
If I put the conc mgrs on the apps tier, this means that I would never need to apply patches to the backend, given that all the apps software is on the apps tier and the database software is on the database tier. If I have 2 apps tiers I could use pcp ? But since all the work is carried out on the db tier this (pcp) would be a pointless exercise right ? You cannot use PCP if you place all the application tier files on one node. If you want to have PCP, you will need to have multiple application tier nodes.
Thanks,

Super User "Right-Sizing" Exercise
As many of you know, the Super Users play a tremendously important role during the implementation of SAP.
We have seen further value from the Super Users as they have been involved in new functionality expansion, upgrades, and enhancements. The also serve as our front-line troubleshooters.
I have been asked a theoretical question that I'm hoping some of you may have insight or ideas about. The question is "How do we know that we have the right number of Super Users?". This is being asked now that we have completed our globalization project and will soon complete a global upgrade.
Has anyone made significant changes to their Super User model post-implementation? If so, what did you base the decision on? How did you deliver the change? What worked well, and what didn't work so well?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
AndrewAndrew, there is no right or wrong answer here.
Super users should stay in place after an implementation, and should be used for UAT of small changes that are made.
Super Users should be used to teach new starters, how to use SAP, and there should be enough cover to cope with sickness and holidays, i.e. at least 2 in each significant team.
However a super user needs to have a day job, and the pull from the business will come, these people are not IT, they are business people and need to do their day job first, and be a super user second.
You also need to consider what happens when a super user leaves.
One nice thing we had with super users is they also were part of the acceptance board for new changes, managers may request a change, but the super user needs to agree to it, this helps in sign off, testing and UAT.
Super Users are business people who feed into the SAP team and play an important part in the relationship between the two departments. -
Is this the right place to provide feedback on the ADF tutorials/exercises?
Hi there,
I have been trying out the "Access a Web Service from ADF Faces" tutorial and have a few questions or feedback about it. You can access the tutorial at [http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/11/wsdc/wsdc.htm|http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/11/wsdc/wsdc.htm] . In this tutorial, under the topic Running the Page, step 7, it mentions ignore the error window that appears by clicking OK. This error windows can be found here.
From the message that appears, it seems that on the first load of the page, we are calling the web service with no parameters and therefore produces an error. Why do we still have an error message? I thought we prevented this by performing the somewhat ambiguous (probably because I don't know the adfFacesContext object well enough) steps 1-3 under the same topic ( Running the Page ). Can someone provide some clarity please? I am possibly working on projects where web service controls are essential in the near future.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
CappaAnother way to prevent the execution of the web service that might work better in this scenario is to use a refresh condition that checks that the parameter field is not empty.
This way we only execute the iterator after a value has been placed in the parameter. -
Have you guys lost your collective minds?
Hello, you might have read some things about this topic that aren't correct, because sadly the press has in general done a very poor job at fact-checking this story. Since you care deeply enough to send this message instead of silently turning your back on us, you might be interested in some attempts to clear up a lot of this misinformation:
Here is a short collection of facts about what happened:
https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/05/faq-on-ceo-resignation/
and here's a longer version written by an employee in a blog post: https://medium.com/p/7645a4bf8a2
Brendan didn't have to leave Mozilla - we would like nothing better than to rehire Brendan. In fact, we didn't want him to leave in the first place. However it was his personal decision to resign among all this ongoing frenzy, threats and mischaracterization of him as a person and the Mozilla community coming from third-parties, in order for the constant bombardment to end and to avert any further damage to Mozilla and its mission that he helped build for so many years.
So in this sad process we have lost a co-founder and brilliant technical mind and now the "other side" of the political spectrum comes along, again quite misinformed and rushing to judgement, bashing our community and voicing calls for boycotts against our products. This is quite sad & Mozilla has not deserved to be in the middle of all of this. Our community exists to protect the Web by promoting openness, innovation and opportunity and is no battleground to fight culture-wars upon...
Thank you! -
Oracle access manager: "You do not have sufficient access rights."
Hi gurus,
I'm doing self training on OAM, following an exercise I installed OAM and
created a couple of Master Admins.
Everything seams to work except the fact that this admins are not allowed
to create users/orgs/groups and get the message "You do not have sufficient access rights".
I may have missed something during the setup, however the question is: how can I recover this situation? How I can give more privileges to those admins?
I tried to create a policy in directory server, without success.
Please, help.
Thank you very much.You will need to create a create user Workflow.
Out of the box OAM does not know which attibutes to create for your user.
Use the quickstart tool as follows

Need help in doing exercise with classes
Here is my exercise:
1. An object Student has: id, last name, first name, number of AAS courses and number of ESL courses in current semester and whether student uses laptop or not.
The formular to calculate tuition fee:
Tuition fee = AAS courses *20 ESL courses * +15+
+If student uses laptop, tuition fee will be deducted 5%
Write the methods to:
o Calculate tuition fee.
o Display student information

if (input.equalsIgnoreCase("true")) {
return (getNumberOfAAS() * 20 + getNumberOfELS() * 15) * 0.95;
} else {
return getNumberOfAAS() * 20 + getNumberOfELS() * 15;
}And my DisplayResult class:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class DisplayResult {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String input;
Student st = new Student();
input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the ID here:");
st.setIdentification(input);

st.setLastName(input);
input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the first name:");
st.setFirstName(input);
input = JOptionPane
.showInputDialog("Enter number of AAS courses you took:");
st.setNumberOfAAS(input);
input = JOptionPane
.showInputDialog("Enter number of ESL courses you took:");
st.setNumberOfESL(input);
input = JOptionPane
.showInputDialog("Enter \"true\" for using laptop and \"false\" if not:");
st.result(input);
// Display the result
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The result is:\n" + st.getID()

+ st.getNumberOfELS() + " ESL\n" + "Using laptop: " + input
+ "\nYour tuitionFee is: "
+ st.result());
System.exit(0);
}The eclipse notice an error which is st.result in DisplayResult class. Please tell my what 's wrong with it?
Edited by: congtm88 on May 4, 2009 9:43 AMOh thax. I corrected it.
public static void main(String[] args) {
String input;
Student st = new Student();

}But I think that, I should change result method into useOfLaptop then write one more instance method name getResult in Student class, right? -
BPI1 Exercise 96 error - conflict in transaction event code?
Hi all. I'm Dave Russell, a new poster
I just attended BPI1 at Chico and am going through the entire set of exercises one more time. I'm in a bit of a rush since the server assigned to it, LOKE, is going down soon.
Gee, I hope I'm in the right place and if I am not would someone direct me to the correct forum?
OK, here's the issue. I have been sailing through the BPI1 book until I got to Exercise 96 -- Configure Automatic Postings for Goods Movement. Here you are setting automatic postings to two valuation classes for certain types of transactions related to good movement.
The first involved BS (Inventory Posting). For the valuation group set in Exercise 94, you are associating the Trading Goods account 721___ with Valuation class 3100 and the Operating Supplies account 740___ with class 3030. No problems here.
The next step repeats for GBB (Offsetting entry for Inventory Posting). It does much the same thin but adds in the Cost of Goods sold account (900___). But when you save, the following error is generated:
Account 740106 already used in transaction BS
The diagnostic for this states that "Accounts used in transaction BS (posting to asset balance sheet account) cannot be used in any other account determination.". I have a screen print if that would help.
It is clear what the error is, but not the solution. II know I did not encounter it in Chico, so I am probably doing something notably dumb. Can anyone help me get past this? I really can't use work-arounds since my students will be using the same text (now being updated by Tom Wilder).
Thanks, Dave RussellIf it is any comfort to anyone with a similar problem, the problem related to the Create/bank/interest tab in the creation of the accounts in Exercises 41 through 57. It is really important the the "Post Automatically Only" be selected or deselected as specified. By a quite circuitous route, I discovered this myself.

Here is an excerpt from API doc for the interface, java.util.Comparator,
Caution should be exercised when using a comparator capable of imposing an ordering inconsistent with equals to order a sorted set (or sorted map). Suppose a sorted set (or sorted map) with an explicit Comparator c is used with elements (or keys) drawn from a set S. If the ordering imposed by c on S is inconsistent with equals, the sorted set (or sorted map) will behave "strangely." In particular the sorted set (or sorted map) will violate the general contract for set (or map), which is defined in terms of equals.
For example, if one adds two keys a and b such that (a.equals((Object)b) && c.compare((Object)a, (Object)b) != 0) to a sorted set with comparator c, the second add operation will return false (and the size of the sorted set will not increase) because a and b are equivalent from the sorted set's perspective.
Is it right? Will the second add operation fail?
In my opinion, the sorted set performs ordering in terms of compare/compareTo method, while a set decides whether to accept or refuse a new element by equals method. If this is the case, then under the situation described in the API doc, a and b are NOT equivalent from the sorted set's prespective, thus a and b can both be added successfully. And only if this happened, we could say[i] total ordering inconsistent with equals could work well for sorted set, but breaks the general contract for the set.
I'm totally confused.I think the API comment you mention got it backwards. Did you whip up an example
to test this yourself?
import java.util.*;
public class Example {
public int compare; //used to define comparator
public int equal; //used to define equals
public Example(int compare, int equal) {
this.compare = compare;
this.equal = equal;
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (!(o instanceof Example))
return false;
return equal == ((Example)o).equal;
public String toString() {
return "(compare=" + compare + ", equal=" + equal + ")";
public static class C implements Comparator {
public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
return ((Example)o1).compare - ((Example)o2).compare;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
C c = new C();
Set s = new TreeSet(c);
Example a = new Example(0, 0);
Example b = new Example(1, 0);
System.out.println("a.equals(b) = " + a.equals(b));
System.out.println("c.compare(a,b) = " + c.compare(a,b));
s.add(a);
System.out.println("after adding a, s =" + s);
s.add(b);
System.out.println("after adding b, s =" + s);

Media Manager...am I doing the right thing?
I'm making an amateur film in Final Cut Pro. Since I'm doing the sloppy (although much less time consuming for me) batch capture method, I have right now far too much DV footage for my scratch HD.
To fit in the final scene, I have to delete some material. I was going to use the media manager, set it to "Use Existing" media and delete anything that was unused in a few of my sequences. I tried this in a test sequence by selecting the sequence alone and then performing the media manager operation. It seemed to work fine.
My questions are these--
1. If I captured my footage as one big clip, then split up the big clip and made the split clips into "independent clips," am I doing anything egregiously wrong with the Media Manager with these settings?
2. Is there any tutorial/link/settings anyone can recommend in the media manager for a newcomer to FCP like myself? Any suggestions about how to make sure I won't delete something I don't want to?
Thanks for the help.Unfortunately, no. Media Manager is a failure in FCP
that has been completely ignored by Apple since it
was introduced.
Not quite true... It's been rewritten several times... the interface isn't friendly, partly because it does so many different things other than just consolidating media...
But no one seems to take the time to read the top box which explains what you have set the MM to do... it's there and very understandable - just nobody seems to read the dang thing...
For some folks, MM works perfectly
and predictably.
Like me who reads the summary, and consistently use it before the media has taken all the space up and there's no way to make "copies" first... And when the audio is finished in the offline, I'll copy and paste the clips to the mm'd sequence, or export a stereo mix and edit that into the MM'd sequence.
I encourage you to search the forum for Media Manager
posts. It will take you several hours to wade through
the screeds but you will find many helpful
suggestions.
The explanation in FCP's manual explains it pretty well... again user's are not reading the manual... See section IV-77 of the manual (available online thru help if you don't have the printed copy handy).
Because of this, my next commercial training effort (a DVD) will have a very detailed explanation of the MM... and it's not going to be a reading exercise... rather a QT movie of it all... no reading required.
And in answer to the original post, the only thing that could cause problems is the fact that "using existing" will delete the original files in the process and if there's a hitch there (like a corrupted copy, or a crash etc.., you can't recover as easily. It's safer to use "copy" instead, but that of course requires that you have open space for the copies that you can check before you delete the original files so it's really not going to be useful to those who didn't think ahead... pretty common problem.
I'm not saying that MM is without flaws (the confusing interface is one of them apparently), but am saying that there's a way to use it properly and have a lot better time of it...
Jim Cookman here has a workaround that works very well too... Don't use it. Instead, Jim logs clips as individual master clips first, so he can manually delete media that is no longer needed... Of course this takes the patience that most users don't seem to have for what ever reason.

Just want to know it this small code is right
Hello everyone, im back :P
well, i've been doing exercises, but i don't have the solution yet...so could you tell me if this code is right? thanks.
About the constructors etc..i think its right, but i not sure about the last method ( distanceFromTwoPoints() )
If i'd like to test this class, i would ask for 4 coord. (x1,y1) and (x2, y2)..
And solved the distance between those two points..well
I don't understand..
On that code how can i calculate the distance from two points if i just have x1 and y1, i mean ...when i wrote that boolean method ( if the two points are equal) the the "p" variable reference is pointing to x1 and y1 , right? maybe that boolean method is wrong too, cuz i want to compare (x1, y1 ) with (x2, y2) well....when i wrote :
this.x1 == p.x1 etc both are references to x1 and y1, so returns always true.
Do i need to write a setMethod to change the values ?
Is that code comparing two points? thats all i want to know...if yes, so how can i test it?
public class Point {
private double x1;
private double y1;
public Point(final double x1, final double y1){
this.x1 = x1;
this.y1 = y1;
public double getX1() {
return x1;
public double getY2() {
return y1;
public boolean isEqual(final Point p){
return (this.x1 == p.x1 && this.y1 == p.y1);
public double distanceFrom2Points (int x1, int y2, Point p){
return Math.sqrt((this.x1 - p.x1)*(this.x1 - p.x1) + (this.y1 - p.y1)*(this.y1 - p.y1));
I think this code is just working with two coord. x1 and y1 :S where do i put x2 and y2?
"p" is a reference to the x1 and y1 variables, so where are the x2 and y2?
im confused :P
thankspublic class Point {
private double x;
private double y;
public Point(final double x, final double y){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
public double getX() {
return x;
public double getY() {
return y;
public boolean isEqual(final Point p){
return (this.x == p.x && this.y == p.y);
public double distanceFrom2Points ( Point p){
return Math.sqrt((this.x - p.x) * (this.x - p.x) + (this.y - p.y) * (this.y - p.y));
public class TestingPoint {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print("X1: ");
double x1 = Teclado.doubleLido();
System.out.print("Y1: ");
double y1 = Teclado.doubleLido();
//Teclad.intLido() reads from the console, something like:
//Keyboard.intRead(); we use that.
System.out.print("X2: ");
double x2 = Teclado.doubleLido();
System.out.print("Y2: ");
double y2 = Teclado.doubleLido();
Point p1 = new Point(x1, y1);
Point p2 = new Point(x2, y2);
double distance = p2.distanceFrom2Points(p1.distanceFrom2Points
(x1,x2));
System.out.println("The distance is "+distance);
}the compilation ERROR says: The method distanceFrom2Points(Point) in the type Point is not applicable for the arguments (double, double)
these are the two classes.
What is wrong ?
thanks! -
How can I make row labels appear on the right
I am creating a timeline for a web development project in numbers
I have changed the content scale to get it to fit on two pages (it's illegible on one page) but the tasks are overlaid on the grey column containing row labels
How can I make the row labels appear on the right side instead of the left side?Thanks Badunit - that was a big help
The counterintuitive part of this whole exercise is that to get the timeline printed as I want, I've got to leave the column representing Week 8 blank
