Explanation of the types of logons

Can someone explain the different types of Logons availabe through the NCo 3 connector?
As I understand it, there are 3 types:
1) Connection directly to a specific application server
2) Connection to a message server using a logon group
3) Connection through a gateway.
Is a message server/logon group type logon used when there is more than one appserver in an Instance? If so, is the message server also one of the app servers or is it a separate server?
If you have more than one app server in an instance, why would you ever want to connect directly to an application server rather than through a message server?
What is a "gateway" connection?

In order:
Opacity is just that: A percentage determines how transparent that layer will look above another layer in a layer stack.
The official Adobe help for Photoshop can help explain the shorter list of Blend Modes PS Touch has including Screen and Multiply.
Match Color will try to capture the overall color tone of the layer beneath it. (Especially good for trying to match two disparate layers.) Take note this only shows up for the next to bottom-most layer and above in the layer stack for obvious reasons. (You can't match color in the bottom-most layer because there isn't anything underneath that layer to match color with.)
Merge Layers does what you think it does with some options: You can merge only visible layers, flatten the whole project into one layer or simply merge the selected layer with the layer immediately beneath it.
Finally, Delete simply deletes the layer.

Apply the default user logon picture to all users

Hi
I applied gpo "apply the default user logon picture to all users"
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp --> renamed my company log to user.bmp.
Taken backup of old user.bmp.
But policy is not working.
Environment:
Windows Server 2008 R2
Clients:Windows 7 and Windows 8

Hi S.Vijay Kumar,
Based on my understanding, the GPO which configured the
Apply the default user logon picture to all users would not apply successfully. What’s more, you have customized the default user logon picture
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp. Right?
Firstly, please check if the scope of this GPO and the setting of Filtering are correct.
Secondly, please follow the steps below to check if the GPO is applied to these Windows XP clients:
Click Start, type rsop.msc in the search box to access
Resultant set of policy.
Check if the GPO is applied to these clients and the setting of the GPO is correct.
In addition, it would be helpful for future troubleshooting if you could help to collect the following information:
Did the GPO fail to apply for all the computers or only some computers?
Can you set the user.bmp as the user logon picture
manually?

How to find the type of objects contained in a Stored Package?

Hello,
I need to populate all the procedures and functions contained in a package. I have rewritten a query like this
"SELECT PROCEDURE_NAME FROM ALL_PROCEDURES WHERE OBJECT_NAME = 'MYPACKAGENAME'
Above Query returns a record, having NULL PROCEDURE_NAME value. Why?
I also want the 'type' of object (stored procedure/function ) contained in the a package.
How to fetch it?
Following query always returns object type 'PACKAGE', which is of no use for me. I want to know if it is stored procedure or function.
SELECT PROCEDURE_NAME, *OBJECT_TYPE* FROM ALL_PROCEDURES WHERE OBJECT_NAME = 'MYPACKAGENAME'

I need To Understand the "Type Cast Function"

Dears,
I need To Understand How the "Type Cast Function" Work, and if you can Give me an Example it will be Apperciated
BR
Ahmed

In its simplest explanation Type Cast allows you to reinterpret a series of bytes. The numeric conversion functions convert from one data type to another and essentially do the same thing that Type Cast does, albeit with just numbers. Type Cast allows you to extend this to convert one data type to another, beyond just numbers. Thus, you could convert an array of 2 U8 values into a single U16 number by using Type Cast like this:
or you could reinterpret an array of lots of U8 values into an array of U16 values like this:
How you use it is entirely up to you, but it is an extremely powerful function. What are you trying to do?

What is the best way to fix broken vis when the type library of the active x server changes (methods or properties addes)?

Every time there is a change to the active X server I am developing drivers for I have to go back through all the vi's I have developed and re-point the methods an properties back to what they were to fix the broken arrows. The only change in the Active X server is usually an additional method or property. There has to be a better way, I have over 130 vi's I have to fix for every update and it keeps getting larger.

This is somthing I can try, but I don't think it will solve my problem. My reference never changes, it is always the same and is correctly registered with every new release. What does change are the number of methods and properties. With each new release there are usualy additional methods and properties; however, the old ones are still there with the same names (thank goodness). The problem this causes with LabVIEW, apparently, whenever there is a change in the type library you must re-point all the methods an properties again, at least this is what I am experiencing. If doing what you suggested works, it would be some kind of magic that I would like an explanation for.

DropDown - With text explanation on the dropdown

Hi,
I would like to get a drop down with explanation on the dropdown but on selection only key must be selected.
for eg . Here are the dropdown values
US United States
AU Australia
NZ Newzeland
DE Germany
when selected the dropdown field should contain only US or AU. Is there a way to achieve this.
Thanks

this all, of course depends on your context and which drop down element you choose to use.
If you bind your context as such.
DATA: lo_nd TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
lo_nd_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
data: it_value_list TYPE wdr_context_attr_value_list,
is_value like line of it_value_list.
data: iv_key type any,
iv_text type string.
lo_nd = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_whatever ).
lo_nd_info = lo_nd->get_node_info( ).
select code text from somewhere into (iv_key, iv_text).
is_value-value = iv_key.
is_value-text = iv_text.
append is_value to it_value_list.
endselect.
lo_nd_info->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'COUNTRY' value_set = it_value_list ).
On your view use the DropdownByKey and bind the selected key property to the country attribute and check the KeyVisible field. Otherwise you can set it dynamically in the modifyview method and set the flag with CL_WD_DROPDOWN_BY_KEY->SET_KEY_VISIBLE.
hope this helps.

Should I keep the type 1 driver?

I am an intern at FedEx, My project is to incorporate one of their databases on Microsoft Access with one of the Intranet website. The website should allow for a client to update the database, search for inquires, display recent inquires, ect... I used the sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver to do this. I have it working fine except that I have not implemented it on the network yet. However the purpose of the project is to update the database using different platforms and machines. Obviously once it is on the network, only a windows box will be able to update it, plus that database is limited to the functionality of the Microsoft driver. I guess my question is, will it be worth my time and effort to switch to a pure java driver or maybe even a type 3 without knowing much about the type 3 or 4 drivers. This means I would have to switch databases also. The current database is around 500 inquires. I am a CS major with an emphasis in java, I have never written any programs using JDBC before this one. It took me around a week to write this after reading up on JDBC. If so, any suggestions on what database and driver to switch to. If not, is their any thing that I should be aware of before putting it on the network? Any help will be much appreciated.

As of right now it only updates the database. I have not implemented the requests yet to make it three tiered. FedEx will pay for a more capable JDBC driver. I guess I don't like the bridge driver because when running the servlet off the network, you have to update the ODBC driver manager with your database. I felt the need for change because I was not aware that I could make it platform independent simply using the browser. I am currently using tomcat 5.0 to run the servlet. I think my design is pretty good. If you could please expand on having every browser connect to a servlet that would intercede with the database. Here is my design:

A realistic assessment of your experiences of hardware needed for the type of editing I do please.

Introduction:
I apologise for the length of this post but from experience of reading here, I'm working on the principle of the more I explain about myself now, the less anyone willing to help me will have to ask later.
I have lurked around this forum on and off for a few years, read the various threads in the FAQ section, particularly PPBM5 and What PC to build thread and other related topics around what system to build. I have found them very useful and in particular have enjoyed reading about Harm Millaard's experiences First Ideas for a new system. For about about 12 months I've been delaying upgrading my PC but in Mr Millard's latest updates on his PPBM6 site he talks about new systems and provides a link to Intel's time line which suggests they are in no rush to replace the i739xx series CPU chip - which has I believe amongst other things 2 cores disabled. Normally bitter experience has taught me not to rush out and buy the latest technology but let others "test" it first and then benefit from reduced prices as that model is replaced. However, it now seems like last years technology is going to remain as this years technology and probably the first 2 quarters at least of next year and, if anything, the price of the i739xx series is at best staying at it's existing launch price or even rising. So it's time to take the plunge for me and upgrade.
My current hardware for editing:
I started with Premier 6.5 after I bought it as part of a bundle with a Matrox RTX 10 card - one of the most temperamental pieces of hardware I've had the misfortune to work with. I later upgraded to Premiere Pro 1.5 and edited with that using a Pentium 4 2.6 (overclocked to 3.2), 3 hard drives (no raid) and 4G of memory. The video footage used was avi recorded using a Canon MVX 30i and Panasonic NVGS27 and now I've added the Casio Exilim EX -FC100 (mpeg format) and a Panasonic HDC S90 (AVCHD).
My PC coped with the editing I did with avi footage but couldn't handle AVCHD format and this convinced me to upgrade to Premiere Pro CS5.5. At the same time I switched to editing on a Dell XPS M1530 (Centrino duo chip) - I upped the memory to 4GB, put Windows 7 64 bit home edition on and replaced the existing hard drive with a faster one. In addition I use a SATA Quickport duo attached to my laptop via an eSATA card. However, either the Quickport, eSATA card or XPS is extremely temperamental - I never see two external hard drives, 50% of the time see 1 external drive or none at all - when that happens I edit around it doing things I can with just the one internal drive - but this problem is not my question.
The type of editing i do:
I know people usually say around here not to try editing on laptops and believe me, I understand why, but using this setup I have been able to edit lots of videos - see here for examples of the type of editing I currently do:
http://www.youtube.com/user/PathfinderPro
The equipment test videos place the biggest strain on the hardware when editing. And, to do this editing I have to convert my AVCHD footage in to it's YouTube format before editing and even after I've done that it can be tediously slow to edit and playback even with premiere set to play at 1/4 normal quality. To convert the AVCHD footage to the YouTube format I edit in has to be done over many nights.
Now I am not a professional, I typically edit with up to 4 tracks of video with additional tracks for titles and my target audience is YouTube - which is why I can get away without editing in my prefered option of native AVCHD video format. However, I'm tired of all the waiting, stuttering, and many many days and hours of converting videos into a format I can use so I'm looking to upgrade. My problem is though I'm uncertain what path to take. The PPBM results are dominated by overclocked chips, and whilst the motherboard make and model is listed, the hard disks used, graphic card makes and models and memory modules are not. This is not a criticism of the PPMB tables (big thank you to Bill Gehrke & Harm Millaard for taking the time and effort to pull this much information together) but for me, I am not interested in being in the top 1000 in the world, nor overclocking like mad, and having had horror experiences of using matrox products and compatibility and stability issues with other hardware I'm more interested in compatability and practicality than speed when deciding what to build. I've also read the threads about marvel controllers, dual and quad channel memory support, the pro's and cons of SSD or standard drives, raid setups, the heat problems with overclocking the newer ivy bridge chips and general build advice etc so I'm not coming here without having done some reading first.
The type of system I'm thinking of:
So far based on what I've read here, I've come to the conclusion - but I'm open to suggestion:
- Chip - regrettably due to the cost and unlikely successor anytime soon - a 39xx (with appropriate cooler) because I want to edit in native AVCHD which seems to require the warrior type chip as opposed to the "economical" build regardless of what my target audience is and this suggests
- X79 motherboard (which must have an old PCI slot such as the Asus Sabertooth and which has room for the cooler I'm considering). As I will be carrying over my old terretec DMX 6 fire 24/96 soundcard - all my videos have their audio mastered in Audition using this card - best piece of advice I read was the audience will watch a bad video with good sound editing but not the other way round)
- 4 hard drives plus additional hard drive for operating system using onboard raid controllers (not sure whether the operating system drive will be WD caviar black or SSD and can't justify cost of external raid controller for either my type of use or number of hard drives being used)
- Video card - I can now buy a GTX 580 for less than the 670 - so not sure on the card especially based on Harm Millards observations that memory bandwith seems to be as important as CUDA cores
- Case - I have an Akasa 62 case with room for 5 hard drives - I won't be exceeding that, and if I overclock it will only be by a little so is it really necessary to replace it for a Tower Case - although I would prefer a case with a front connection for esata so I may have to change the case regardless
- Maximum memory 32G - so is it necessary to upgrade to windows 7 professional?
- Power source - I'll work out when I've decided on my components.
Help please:
For me it's video source/dictated software chosen and hardware/audience(youtube) dictates format edited in. As I don't intend to change my camcorders format (AVCHD or mpeg) in the next couple of years and I'm not interested in having the "fastest" system around what I'm really interested in learning is:
what system setups people use now for doing similar editing to me
what make/models of the component parts in your system work well together
and if you do have a bottle neck in terms of hardware, where is it and what hardware would you change to (not a dream model change, just a practical and realistic one)
I have deliberately not given a budget for the changes I'm intending because budget should not be the deciding factor in determining what I "need" to upgrade to for the "type of editing I do" - especially bearing in mind I've got by so far (admitedly at a tortoise pace) with by todays standards a standard spec laptop. Basically I don't want a Rolls Royce to go shopping at Wallmart but I'm tired of walking there and carrying everything back by hand!
Thank you very much for any help / experiences people can share.

Thank you both for your prompt and helpful replies.
Mr Millaard, regarding your excellent article Planning and Building an NLE system, I have read it a couple of times now and it was your article which finally convinced me the time was now to upgrade but within it you said for good reason "Initial choice of CPU: i7-39xx with the intention to overclock to 4.6 - 4.8 GHz", hence my uncertainty about the CPU to use. I have seen a video you posted here - I think it was based on your cats (which I incidently enjoyed) so working on the editing done there (but not remembering if you mentioned what video format you used) and others who have mentioned many pro's for the i7-39xx I was leaning towards that - but I'm financially relieved at least - if the i3770 will do, although now with the possible recommendation by JEShort01 (sorry not sure of the forum etiquette for use of names) of the 2600K overclocked I'm a little bit back in the position of which is more suitable especially with the update to the i3770 being nearer than i7-39xx. This still makes me lean towards the i7-39xx.
Regarding the editing, the match play you can see on the channel is indeed 1 camera basic edits - multiple titles used to provide the score board. However, the coaching videos use mulitple cameras - 3 to 4 sometimes (another reason for upgrading to CS5.5 for the multi cam editing support) and the equipment testing video can use 3 or 4 tracks layered on top of each other other with each track having opacity settings and multiple motion effects and titles with occasional keying video effects added. For example this video at approx 2 mins 50 and 5 mins 10 seconds.

Monitor wise I use dual monitor setup. My laptop screen and I link out to an LG M2394 D for widescreen and I sometimes use an old Neovo F-419 for 3 / 4 editing. I won't be using more monitors than 2. If the 580 drops a bit more I'll probably go for that - although I'll have to make sure it's size isn't an issue for the motherboard combo setup. Interestingly there is a thread shown on the forum home page which discusses the 570 vs the 660ti and the opinion was go with the 660ti which surprised me a bit.
Windows 7 professional it is then - I should have known that too - apologises for asking a question already asked.
"Accepted, your correct criticism of the lacking hardware info on the PPBM5 website. That is the overriding reason that for the new site http://ppbm7.com/ we want to use Piriform Speccy .xml results to gather more, more accurate and more detailed hardware info."
No criticism intended Mr Millaard - more an observation and I really look forward to that evolution with PPBM7. I'm assuming the .xml results will use pre populated drop down lists people can select their hardware from - that way you can control and ensure consistent entries - downside being the work required by you to populate the lists in the first place and maintain them.
Thanks again for your help but I'm still unsure a bit about the CPU and video card though.

[svn:bz-trunk] 11030: Tweak the deserialization of ASObjects to treat an empty string for the type of an object as null .

Revision: 11030
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-10-20 11:35:02 -0700 (Tue, 20 Oct 2009)
Log Message:
Tweak the deserialization of ASObjects to treat an empty string for the type of an object as null. It appears that there is some logic in the LC remoting code that relies on a non-null class name to always exist. This change reverts to the old behavior of not allowing empty string as a value for the ASObject.namedType.
This should fix bug 2448442 and its duplicates caused by the recent serialization changes.
I don't think this is the perfect fix. Pending further investigation, a better fix would be either:
a. If it's OK to assume that empty string should always mean null for the type of the ASObject, the code that enforces it should be in the setter/getter inside ASObject and not in the deserializer.
b. ASObject doesn't guarantee that a named type exists or is valid. In that sense an empty string is as bad as some random characters that cannot be a valid class name in java, so depending on how disruptive it may be, the fix should be in any logic that uses ASObject.getType().

Hi Pavan,
"In your payload there is no namespace prefix for the elements under PayloadHeader element."
Yes, you are right - but this message is standard AQ Adapter Header message - it's not defined by me. I just used message which was automatically added to my project when I have defined AQ Adapter.
"In your process is the default namespace is same as namespace value of tns ??"
Do you mean targetNamespace? If yes it's different as it points to process "targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/PF_SOA_jws/PF_APPS/APPS_PROCESS" (names of application and process have changed as I try different ways to do that)
ns1 is: xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/aq/PF_SOA/PF_APPS/PO_AQ"
"another thing is tns and ns1 should have same values.."
When I create a variable of header type, namespace ns1 is automatically created for it. I set it as property of receive activity. When process is instantiated on the serwer I get the error in which you can see that namespace is tns.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't see how I could fix this in my process.
You can see that the message I get on the server has nothing in common with the application/project/process names. Is it possible to define such variable?
Regards
Pawel
PS:
In Transformation xsl file, both variables (source and target) has tns namespace for Header and PayloadHeader, and no namespace for subfields.

How do I make Step Types in the Type palette be "master" versions which all sequence files on a particular should use? (since this only seems to "half work")

The situation I would like is to have a library of step types which sequence developers can use. Therefore if new step types need to be added, or existing ones modified - all that needs to be done is to roll out a new MyTypes.ini (for example), and the code modules/substeps.
Scenarios:
If I create types in MyTypes.ini (make sure "Attach to this file" is checked, so they get saved here). I can then create a sequence file using these step types. No problem so far.
I can open the type palette, modify the step properties, and save. When I go back to my sequence file an asterisk appears (saying it needs to be saved, even if I have opened it from scratch). The properties have been updated to reflect what is in the Type Palette. Still no problem (Type versions are the same in the sequence file and type palette).
This is where the problem appears:
If I change a step type (in the Type Palette) from using a code module to using a Post-Step substep instead (changing the module adaptor to "None") - any instances do NOT update when you open sequence files. (The same happens vice versa also).
Please note that the "Type version" listed in the sequence file DOES match that listed in the Type Palette - the properties are the same but the manner in which the code modules are called is DIFFERENT! This then can lead to to runtime errors if the old code module has been deleted for example.
The only way around this is to open EVERY sequence file that contains an instance of the step type, and make sure that you have "Apply changes to all loaded instances of this type" checked in the step type properties dialog. This is is not a good solution since files could be missed, and is very time consuming if you have hundreds of sequence files!
What I need is that the Type Palette on any particular station contains the MASTER copies of each type. These are loaded whenever a sequence file is loaded and NOT retreived from the sequence file. As discussed above this seems to work when you modify properties - but doesnt work fine if you change the way in which code modules are called.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation?

I had a system recently containing seven sequence files, approx 20 subsequences in each, and around 10-20 steps in each sub-sequence. Every step (except for the NI non-code module types) was an instance of a step type.
Each one of these steps had an Edit sub-step and a code module called through the code module adapter.
In order to make these into "wrapped up" step types it was decided to move the code module to a Post-Step substep (as also done in the NI-IVI step types) - so that developers cannot fiddle with the code prototype or module.
In order to do this I had to open all 7 of the sequence files, make the changes and then ensure that "Apply changes in this dialog to a loaded instances" was checked. This seems to sort of work, but some steps started causing Error 17502 (System Error) when you configure them (call the Edit substep). Over the course of the past few months I have had to effectively check every instance of a type to see if it works (deleting the step and replacing it when it doesnt). Other strange things happened like some of the step type instances now have the "None" (adapter) icon associated with them - but both still work.
The idea of creating a type-def of a step type is a good one, but frustrating that it doesnt seem to fully work. Why should the sequence file also store a version of the step-type - which is what is effectively causing this problem - why not make it so that if you dont have the step types installed in the type palette - TOUGH!

The type and the length of the members of the structures

I am making the BC-XAL program.
Reading `XAL_Interface_Documentation_11.pdf', now I succeeded in "Reading All Saved Monitor Sets" and "Reading All Monitors of a Monitor Set". but I can't find the type and the length of the member of the Structure BAPITNDEXT, so I cannot get the Monitoring Tree of a Monitor.
where can I get any documents or information ?

How do I make the type smaller for PDF's in iBook for my iPad Mini Retina Display IOS 7.4

How do I resize the type in PDF's to make it smaller ? to read on my iPad mini. At the moment it looks like 20 point.

I don't believe that you can decrease the font size for PDFs in iBooks.

How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

Howdy,
I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
Thanks for any help,
Zebulon T

Thanks, Ded,
You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
Thanks very much.
