Extremely Urgent Motion Questions
I exported a movie out of FCP as an Animation file and imported it into Motion. The problem I am experiencing is that Motion is adjusting the length of the clip automatically. My timeline is over 1500 frames long and the clip is only 320 frames. For some reason though Motion is clipping it. When I play the file back in Quicktime it plays the whole movie. What is going on?
So it's not the codec that's causing the problem. However, I'm still confused. The most true to the original would BE the original. Exporting as a self-contained movie would offer an exact copy of the original footage. If you feel you have to export to a different codec, I would suggest the Uncompressed codec. It works better with video images than Animation.
As far as your problem, have you tried exporting an image sequence? If that doesn't work, I would try trashing your preferences.

EXTREMELY URGENT: % Cost (out of Total Costs) Column in Report Painter
Hi Gurus,
I'm not new to Report Painter, but, am stuck at one thing.
In report, Col 1 shows Costs by Administration (row 1), Labor (row 2), Others (row 3) and total (row 4 being formula as total of row 1, 2 & 3).
Client wants col 2 to show % Cost of each row out of total Expenses (so totals row in this col. will have 100%)
How to do it technically.
Please help. It's EXTREMELY URGENT.
I'll award points ASAP
Regards,
SBIts abit difficult to illustrate without having a screen dump, what you can do is make use of something called special cell definition. Now if you double click on the cell for column 1 of row 4 for total costs then the system identifies it as a cell Z001 which in fact will recognise a constant value of total costs , thereby you can define in Column 2 as a formula element with (X001/Z001)*100 thereby giving a value in %. Try it and see if it helps

Urgent SQL question : how to flip vertical row values to horizontal ?
Hello, Oracle people !
I have an urgent SQL question : (simple for you)
using SELECT statement, how to convert vertical row values to horizontal ?
For example :
(Given result-set)
MANAGER COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
K. Smith ......1
K. Smith ...............1
K. Smith ........................1
(Needed result-set)
MANAGER COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
K. Smith ......1 .......1 .......1
I know you can, just don't remeber how and can't find exactly answer I'm looking for. Probably using some analytic SQL function (CAST OVER, PARTITION BY, etc.)
Please Help !!!
Thanx !

Organization Management Interview Questions and Answers Extremely Urgent
Hi,
Please let me know Organization Management Interview Questions and Answers. MOST MOST URGENT
Please do not post Link or website name and detail response will be highly appreciated.
Very Respectfully,
Sameer.
SAP HR .Hi there,
Pl. find herewith the answers of the questions posted on the forum.
1. What are plan versions used for?
Ans : Plan versions are scenarios in which you can create organizational plans.
In the plan version which you have flagged as the active plan version, you create your current valid organizational plan. This is also the integration plan version which will be used if integration with Personnel Administration is active.
You use additional plan versions to create additional organizational plans as planning scenarios.
As a rule, a plan version contains one organizational structure, that is, one root organizational unit. It is, however, possible to create more than one root organizational unit, that is more than one organizational structure in a plan version.
For more information on creating plan versions, see the Implementation Guide (IMG), under Personnel Management  Global Settings in Personnel Management  Plan Version Maintenance.
2. What are the basic object types?
Ans. An organization object type has an attribute that refers to an object of the organization management (position, job, user, and so on). The organization object type is linked to a business object type.
Example
The business object type BUS1001 (material) has the organization object type T024L (laboratory) as the attribute that on the other hand has an object of the organization management as the attribute. Thus, a specific material is linked with particular employees using an assigned laboratory.
3. What is the difference between a job and a position?
Ans. Job is not a concrete, it is General holding various task to perform which is generic.(Eg: Manager, General Manager, Executive).
Positions are related to persons and Position is concrete and specific which are occupied by Persons. (Eg: Manager - HR, GM HR, Executive - HR).
4. What is the difference between an organizational unit and a work centre?
Ans. Work Centre : A work center is an organizational unit that represents a suitably-equipped zone where assigned operations can be performed. A zone is a physical location in a site dedicated to a specific function.
Organization Unit : Organizational object (object key O) used to form the basis of an organizational plan. Organizational units are functional units in an enterprise. According to how tasks are divided up within an enterprise, these can be departments, groups or project teams, for example.
Organizational units differ from other units in an enterprise such as personnel areas, company codes, business areas etc. These are used to depict structures (administration or accounting) in the corresponding components.
5. Where can you maintain relationships between objects?
Ans. Infotype 1001 that defines the Relationships between different objects.
There are many types of possible relationships between different objects. Each individual relationship is actually a subtype or category of the Relationships infotype.
Certain relationships can only be assigned to certain objects. That means that when you create relationship infotype records, you must select a relationship that is suitable for the two objects involved. For example, a relationship between two organizational units might not make any sense for a work center and a job.
6. What are the main areas of the Organization and Staffing user interfaces?
Ans. You use the user interface in the Organization and Staffing or Organization and Staffing (Workflow) view to create, display and edit organizational plans.
The user interface is divided into various areas, each of it which fulfills specific functions.
Search Area
Selection Area
Overview Area
Details Area
Together, the search area and the selection area make up the Object Manager.
7. What is Expert Mode used for?
Ans. interface is used to create Org structure. Using Infotypes we can create Objects in Expert mode and we have to use different transactions to create various types of objects. If the company needs to create a huge structure, we will use Simple maintenance, because it is user friendly that is it is easy to create a structure, the system automatically relationship between the objects.
8. Can you create cost centers in Expert Mode?
Ans. Probably not. You create cost center assignments to assign a cost center to an organizational unit, or position.
When you create a cost center assignment, the system creates a relationship record between the organizational unit or position and the cost center. (This is relationship A/B 011.) No assignment percentage record can be entered.
9. Can you assign people to jobs in Expert Mode?
10. Can you use the organizational structure to create a matrix organization?
Ans. By depicting your organizational units and the hierarchical or matrix relationships between them, you model the organizational structure of your enterprise.
This organizational structure is the basis for the creation of an organizational plan, as every position in your enterprise is assigned to an organizational unit. This defines the reporting structure.
11. In general structure maintenance, is it possible to represent the legal entity of organizational units?
12. What is the Object Infotype (1000) used for?
Ans. Infotype that determines the existence of an organizational object.
As soon as you have created an object using this infotype, you can determine additional object characteristics and relationships to other objects using other infotypes.
To create new objects you must:
Define a validity period for the object
Provide an abbreviation to represent the object
Provide a brief description of the object
The validity period you apply to the object automatically limits the validity of any infotype records you append to the object. The validity periods for appended infotype records cannot exceed that of the Object infotype.
The abbreviation assigned to an object in the system renders it easily identifiable. It is helpful to use easily recognizable abbreviations.
You can change abbreviations and descriptions at a later time by editing object infotype records. However, you cannot change an objects validity period in this manner. This must be done using the Delimit function.
You can also delete the objects you create. However, if you delete an object the system erases all record of the object from the database. You should only delete objects if they are not valid at all (for example, if you create an object accidentally)
13. What is the Relationships Infotype (1001) used for?
Ans. Infotype that defines the Relationships between different objects.
You indicate that a employee or user holds a position by creating a relationship infotype record between the position and the employee or user. Relationships between various organizational units form the organizational structure in your enterprise. You identify the tasks that the holder of a position must perform by creating relationship infotype records between individual tasks and a position.
Creating and editing relationship infotype records is an essential part of setting up information in the Organizational Management component. Without relationships, all you have are isolated pieces of information.
You must decide the types of relationship record you require for your organizational structure.
If you work in Infotype Maintenance, you must create relationship records manually. However, if you work in Simple Maintenance and Structural Graphics, the system creates certain relationships automatically.
14. Which status can Infotypes in the Organizational Management component have?
Ans. Once you have created the basic framework of your organizational plan in Simple Maintenance, you can create and maintain all infotypes allowed for individual objects in your organizational plan. These can be the basic object types of Organizational Management organizational unit, position, work center and task. You can also maintain object types, which do not belong to Organizational Management.
15. What is an evaluation path?
Ans. An evaluation path describes a chain of relationships that exists between individual organizational objects in the organizational plan.
Evaluation paths are used in connection with the definition of roles and views.
The evaluation path O-S-P describes the relationship chain Organizational unit > Position > Employee.
Evaluation paths are used to select other objects from one particular organizational object. The system evaluates the organizational plan along the evaluation path.
Starting from an organizational unit, evaluation path O-S-P is used to establish all persons who belong to this organizational unit or subordinate organizational units via their positions.
16. What is Managers Desktop used for?
Ans. Manager's Desktop assists in the performance of administrative and organizational management tasks. In addition to functions in Personnel Management, Manager's Desktop also covers other application components like Controlling, where it supports manual planning or the information system for cost centers.
17. Is it possible to set up new evaluation paths in Customizing?
Ans. You can use the evaluation paths available or define your own. Before creating new evaluation paths, check the evaluation paths available as standard.
18. Which situations require new evaluation paths?
Ans. When using an evaluation path in a view, you should consider the following:
Define the evaluation path in such a manner that the relationship chain always starts from a user (object type US in Organizational Management) and ends at an organizational unit, a position or a user.
When defining the evaluation path, use the Skip indicator in order not to overload the result of the evaluation.
19. How do you set up integration between Personnel Administration and Organizational Management?
Ans. Integration between the Organizational Management and Personnel Administration components enables you to,
Use data from one component in the other
Keep data in the two components consistent
Basically its relationship between person and position.
Objects in the integration plan version in the Organizational Management component must also be contained in the following Personnel Administration tables:
Tables Objects
T528B and T528T Positions
T513S and T513 Jobs
T527X Organizational units
If integration is active and you create or delete these objects in Organizational Management transactions, the system also creates or deletes the corresponding entries automatically in the tables mentioned above. Entries that were created automatically are indicated by a "P". You cannot change or delete them manually. Entries you create manually cannot have the "P" indicator (the entry cannot be maintained manually).
You can transfer either the long or the short texts of Organizational Management objects to the Personnel Administration tables. You do this in the Implementation Guide under Organizational Management -> Integration -> Integration with Personnel Administration -> Set Up Integration with Personnel Administration. If you change these control entries at a later date, you must also change the relevant table texts. To do that you use the report RHINTE10 (Prepare Integration (OM with PA)).
When you activate integration for the first time, you must ensure that the Personnel Administration and the Organizational Management databases are consistent. To do this, you use the reports:
RHINTE00 (Adopt organizational assignment (PA to PD))
RHINTE10 (Prepare Integration (PD to PA))
RHINTE20 (Check Program Integration PA - PD)
RHINTE30 (Create Batch Input Folder for Infotype 0001)
The following table entries are also required:
PLOGI PRELI in Customizing for Organizational Management (under Set Up Integration with Personnel Administration). This entry defines the standard position number.
INTE in table T77FC
INTE_PS, INTE_OSP, INTEBACK, INTECHEK and INTEGRAT in Customizing under Global Settings ® Maintain Evaluation Paths.
These table entries are included in the SAP standard system. You must not change them.
Since integration enables you to create relationships between persons and positions (A/B 008), you may be required to include appropriate entries to control the validation of these relationships. You make the necessary settings for this check in Customizing under Global Settings ® Maintain Relationships.
Sincerely,
Devang Nandha

EXTREMELY URGENT!! Last question on Local Interfaces
Using Oracle9iAS 9.0.3
Running on RedHat 8.0
Trying to implement local interfaces to my entity bean. (Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE for 9.0.3) provides an example for writing local interfaces.
pg. 2-10 states:
//The variable is specified in the assembly descriptor (META-INF/ejb-jar.xml)
Object homeObject = context.lookup("java:comp/env/EmployeeLocalBean");
but, if you look at the ejb-jar.xml they reference, it's as follows (pg. 2-12):
<ejb-jar>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
<description>Session Bean Employee Example</description>
<ejb-name>EmployeeBean</ejb-name>
<home>employee.EmployeeHome</home>
<remote>employee.Employee</remote>
<local-home>employee.EmployeeLocalHome</local-home>
<local>employee.EmployeeLocal</local>
<ejb-class>employee.EmployeeBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>
Where does the EmployeeLocalBean name come from for the lookup?!
Also, do I NEED to deploy BOTH remote and local interfaces to get my local interfaces to work? Another post on this forum had a problem where they couldn't view the configurations of the EJB because there were not remote interfaces available, but then later they said it was just a problem with the web-based Enterprise Manager.
Please, can someone let me know if these questions are not interesting enough to the forum? Has nobody here ever implemented Local Interfaces on 9.0.3? Do I need to be posting these questions to a different forum? Please advise and I will take care to get my answers elsewhere if necessary.
It's just that every resource I've looked at for Local Interfaces (which 9.0.3 CAN implement...right?!) has conflicting information and seems to have buggy implementations. Please....help!
Thanks in advance!Strangely enough, I'm not aware of troubles with enviroment variables and JNDI lookup. There are some misunderstandings - compared to WLS, JNDI tree is different.
Here is an example of Session EJB settings:
<session>
<description>Session Bean ( Stateless )</description>
<display-name>XSLTransformerEJB</display-name>
<ejb-name>XSLTransformerEJB</ejb-name>
<local-home>com.ness.europe.integration.transformer.XSLTransformerEJBLocalHome</local-home>
<local>com.ness.europe.integration.transformer.XSLTransformerEJBLocal</local>
<ejb-class>com.ness.europe.integration.transformer.impl.XSLTransformerEJBBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type>
<env-entry>
<description>path to root transformatin file</description>
<env-entry-name>config/RootTransformFile</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
<env-entry-value>/oracle/product/IAS903/j2ee/MwCezPassport/xslt/passport.xslt</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>
</session>
Next, there is an MDB with reference to it:
<message-driven>
<description>Message Driven Bean</description>
<display-name>PassportMDB</display-name>
<ejb-name>PassportMDB</ejb-name>
<ejb-class>com.ness.europe.integration.inbound.mdb.InboundMDBBean</ejb-class>
<transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type>
<acknowledge-mode>Auto-acknowledge</acknowledge-mode>
<message-driven-destination>
<destination-type>javax.jms.Queue</destination-type>
<subscription-durability>Durable</subscription-durability>
</message-driven-destination>
<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/XSLTransformerEJB</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<local-home>com.ness.europe.integration.transformer.XSLTransformerEJBLocalHome</local-home>
<local>com.ness.europe.integration.transformer.XSLTransformerEJBLocal</local>
<ejb-link>XSLTransformerEJB</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>
There is basically this piece of code to do lookup environment variable:
String toRet = (String)this.initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/config/" + paramName);
(of course, the config prefix is our syntax)
As for EJB lookup, this is used:
final InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
return (XSLTransformerEJBLocalHome)context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/XSLTransformerEJB");
I didn't created those beans but I asked mate from my team and answer as to troubles was "no".
Is the problem lies in "not hard coded" names of beans in lookup? We are not trying to get "env/ejb" but just straighforwardly EJB using its name.

Question regarding URL (extremely urgent)
I have this:
try{
url = new URL(getDocumentBase() + "App.htm");
catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println("No such page");
getAppletContext().showDocument(url, "_blank");This code is what my action listener for a button does.
The problem is that when I click the button, a page is opened with url:
(the document base)\AotA.htmApp.htm
note: AtoA.htm is where my applet is embeeded.
I wonder why this still includes the AtoA.htm in the new URL.
thankshere's the whole of my code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.net.*;
public class AtoA extends JApplet implements ActionListener{
JPanel panel;
JButton button;
URL url;
public void init(){
new AtoA();
public AtoA(){
panel = new JPanel();
getContentPane().add(panel);
GridBagLayout g = new GridBagLayout();
GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
panel.setLayout(g);
button = new JButton("Button");
button.addActionListener(this);
c.anchor = GridBagConstraints.CENTER;
c.gridx = 0;
c.gridy = 0;
g.setConstraints(button, c);
panel.add(button);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
if(e.getSource() == button){
try{
url = new URL(getDocumentBase() + "App.htm");
catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println("No such page");
getAppletContext().showDocument(url, "_blank");
}... just in case you wanna check it out.
thanks for sparing me some of your time. -
Forms question ... EXTREMELY URGENT
gurus,
i have the following code in the pl/sql section of the insert button -
declare
p_rate_type dvi.ad_base_rate_types.rate_type%type;
cnt_fnd number;
err_rate_type exception;
begin
** get the rate type
p_rate_type := p_session.get_value_as_VARCHAR2

raise;
end;
the above code works fine ... i get the alert, but after i click ok of the alert, i get a page with the following -
Error :- undefined exception
after that, when i go to edit the form, i'm not able to open the form.
any ideas ....
thanx a lot ...

CREATE INDEX TAB_A_IDX ON TAB_A
(RUN_ID, COB_DATE, PARTITION_KEY, DATA_TYPE, VALUE_CURRENCY)
LOCAL;The table is subpartitioned as each partition typically has 135million rows in it.
Overnight, serveral runs occur that load data into this table (the partitions are rolled over daily, such that the oldest one is dropped and a new one created. Stats are exported from the oldest partition prior to being dropped and imported to the newly created partition. The oldest partition once the partition has been created has it's stats analyzed).
Data loads can load anything from 200 rows to 20million rows into the table, with most of the rows ending up in the Default subpartition. Most of the runs that load a larger set of rows have been set up to add into one of the other 4 subpartitions.
We then run a process to extract data from the table that gets put into a file. This is a two step process (due to Oracle completely picking the wrong execution plan and us not being able to rewrite the query in such a way that it'll pick the right path up by itself!):
1. Identify all the unique currencies
2. Update the (dynamic) sql query to add a CASE clause into the select clause based on the currencies identified in step 1, and run the query.
Step 1 uses this query:
SELECT DISTINCT value_currency
FROM tab_a
WHERE run_id = :b3 AND cob_date = :b2 AND partition_key = :b1;and usually finishes this within 20 minutes.
The problem
Occasionally, this simple query runs over 20 minutes (I don't think we've ever seen it run to completion on these occurrences, and I've certainly seen it take over 3 hours before we killed it, for a run where it would normally complete in 2 or 3 minutes), which we've now come to recognise as it "being stuck". The execution path it takes is the same as when it runs normally, there are no unusual wait events, and no unusual wait times. All in all, it looks "normal" except for the fact that it's taking forever (tongue-in-cheek!) to run. When we kill and rerun, the execution time returns to normal. (We've sent system state dumps to Oracle to be analyzed, and they came back with "The database is doing stuff, can't see anything wrong")
We've never been able to come up with any explanation before, but the same run has failed consistently for the last three days, so I managed to wangle a DBA to help me investigate it further.
After looking through the ASH reports, he proposed a theory that the problem was it was having to go to the UNDO to retrieve results, and that this could explain the massive run time of the query.
I looked at the runs and agreed that UNDO might have been used in that particular instance of the query, as another run had loaded data into the table at the same time it was being read.
However, another one of the problematic runs had not had any inserts (or updates/deletes - they don't happen in our process) during the reading of the data, and yet it had taken a long time too. The ASH report showed that it too had read from UNDO.
My question
I understand from this link: http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:44798632736844 about how Selects may generate REDO, but I don't see why UNDO would possibly be generated by a select. Does anyone know of a situation where a select would end up looking through UNDO, even though no inserts/updates/deletes had taken place on the table/index it was looking at?
Also, does the theory that having to look through the UNDO (currently UNDO ts is 50000MB, in case that's relevant) causing queries to take an extremely long time hold water? We're on 10.2.0.3

Ok, having carried on searching t'internet, I can see that it's maybe Delayed Block Cleanout that's causing the UNDO to be referenced. Even taking that into account, I can't see why going back to the UNDO to be told to commit the change to disk could slow the query down that much? What waits would this show up as, if any?Since you're on 10.2 and I understand that you use
the statistics of the "previous" content for the
partition that you are now loading (am I right?) you
have to be very careful with the 10g optimizer. If
the statistics tell the optimizer that the values
that you're querying for are sufficiently
out-of-range this might change the execution plan
because it estimates that only a few or no rows will
be returned. So if the old statistics do not fit the
new data loaded in terms of column min/max values
then this could be a valid reason for different
execution plans for some executions (depending on the
statistics of the old partition and the current
values used). Your RUN_ID is a good candidate I guess
as it could be ever increasing... If the max value of
the old partition is sufficiently different from the
current value this might be the cause.
Do you actually use bind variables for that
particular statement? Then we have in addition bind
variable peeking and potentially statement re-using
to consider.
I would prefer literals instead of bind variables or
do you encounter parse issues?Yes, that query runs as part of a procedure and uses bind variables (well, pl/sql variables!). We are aware that because of the histograms that get produced, the stats are not as good as we'd like. I'm wondering if analyzing the partition would be the best way to go, only that means analysing the entire partition, not just the subpartition, I guess? But if other inserts are taking place at the same time, having several analyzes taking place won't help the speed of inserting, or won't it matter?
Do you have the "default" 10g statistics gathering
job active? This could also explain why you get
different execution plans at different execution
times. If the job determines that the statistics of
some of your partitions are stale then it will
attempt to gather statistics even if you already have
statistics imported/generated.No, we turned that off. The stats do not change when we rerun the query - we guess there is some sort of contention taking place, possibly when reading from the UNDO, although I would expect that to show up in the waits - it doesn't appear to though.
Data loads can load anything from 200 rows to
20million rows into the table, with most of therows
ending up in the Default subpartition. Most of the
runs that load a larger set of rows have been setup
to add into one of the other 4 subpartitions.
I'm not sure about above description. Do most of the
rows end up in the default subpartition (most rows in
default partition) or do the larger sets load into
the other 4 ones... (most rows in the non-default
partitions)?Sorry, I mean that the loads that load say 20million + rows at a time have a specified subpartition to go into (defined via some config. We had to make up a "partition key" in order to do this as there is nothing in the data that lends itself to the subpartition list, unfortunately - the process determines which subpartition to load to/extract from via a config table), but this applies to not many of the runs. So, the majority of the runs (with fewer rows) go into the default partition.
The query itself scans the index, not the table, doing partition pruning, etc.
The same SQL_ID doesn't mean it's the same plan. So
are you 100% sure that the plans where the same? I
could imagine (see above) that the execution plans
might be different.The DBA looking at it said that the plans were the same, and I have no reason to doubt him. Also, the session browser in Toad shows the same explain plan in the "Current Statement" tab for normal and abnormal runs and is as follows:
Time IO Cost CPU Cost Cardinality Bytes Cost Plan
6 SELECT STATEMENT ALL_ROWS
4 1 4 4 4 82,406 4 1 4 20 4 6 4 HASH UNIQUE
3 1 3 4 3 28,686 3 1 3 20 3 5 3 PARTITION RANGE SINGLE Partition #: 2
2 1 2 4 2 28,686 2 1 2 20 2 5 2 PARTITION LIST SINGLE Partition #: 3
1 1 1 4 1 28,686 1 1 1 20 1 5 1 INDEX RANGE SCAN INDEX TAB_A_IDX Access Predicates: "RUN_ID"=:B3 AND "COB_DATE"=:B2 AND "PARTITION_KEY"=:B1 Partition #: 3
How do you perform your INSERTs? Are overlapping
loads and queries actually working on the same
(sub-)partition of the table or in different ones? Do
you use direct-path inserts or parallel dml?
Direct-path inserts as far I know create "clean"
blocks that do not need a delayed block cleanout.We insert using a select from an external table - there's a parallel hint in there, but I think that is often ignored (at least, I've never seen any hint of sessions running in parallel when looking at the session browser, and I've seen it happen in one of our dev databases, so...). As mentioned above, rows could get inserted into different partitions, although the majority of runs load into the default subpartition. In practise, I don't think more than 3 or 4 loads take place at the same time.
If you loading and querying different partitions then
your queries shouldn't have to check for UNDO except
for the delayed block cleanout case.
You should check at least two important things:
- Are the execution plans different for the slow and
normal executions?
- Get the session statistics (logical I/Os, redo
generated) for the normal and slow ones in order to
see and compare the amount of work that they
generate, and to find out how much redo your query
potentially generated due to delayed block cleanout.It's difficult to do a direct comparison that's exact, due to other work going on in the database, and the abnormal query taking far longer than normal, but here is the ASH comparison between a normal run (1st) and our abnormal run (2nd) (both taken over 90 mins, and the first run may well include other runs that use the same query in the results):
Exec Time of DB Exec Time (ms) #Exec/sec CPU Time (ms) Physical Reads / Exec #Rows Processed
Time / Exec (DB Time) / Exec / Exec

The only thing i need to do is add a title or label attribute to some of the controls.
One of the ones to begin with that i am fixing is the ADF tag af:selectBooleanRadio. When i add some text to the shortDesc field of the control, the html is produces doesn't have the title attribute.
So i tried to use the corresponding trinidad control tr:selectBooleanRadio, and add some text to the same shortDesc field for the control, and in this case it does add a title attribute in the html that it produces.
Everything else in the code works fine as well when i add the trinidad control, except for one thing. I have a ValueChangeListener that gets called when you click on another tr:selectBooleanRadio. Within that valueChangeListener event handler function, i have a bunch of code which in the end displays a af:popup. The problem i am having when using the trinidad control is that it somehow is not allowing the display of the popup even though it is going through the code that executes display of the popup. When i click on another link or button that is supposed to display a different popup as well, then the popup associated with the tr:selectBooleanRadio also displays at that time, but not originally when the value changed by selecting a different tr:selectBooleanRadio.
So, my question is, are there any other successful ways of adding a title attribute to the these controls. If its the af:selectBooleanRadio how do we make it so that the html it generates has the title attribute, or if its the tr:selectBooleanRadio, what might be happening during the event handling that it is not allowing the af:popup to display?
A quick response to this appreciated since this is very urgent! Thanks very much for your help!JDev version is 11.1.1.5
ok, i will go one step at a time so that it is easy to understand. So i will only mention the first thing right now and then we can try other things later.
i have a af:selectBooleanRadio. After running the page/application, when the user does View Source in the browser for the page that has the radio button, it is in the form of an HTML tag <input> of type for radio button. What i want to do is to have a "title" attribute for the <input> tag for this radio button. I can use the tr:selectRadioButton trinidad control to do that, but then i have other issues with that, and we can talk about those later.
Let me know if it is still not clear.
Thanks very much for your help! -

URGENT : Challenge questions query: Oracle Access Manager 10g
Hi all,
This is a query regarding password challenge questions in Oracle Access Manager 10g. We have created password policies for a specific container in OID (say cn=xxx,cn=users,dc=oracle,dc=com) and it is working fine.
In order to exclude certain set of users (say user ABC ) for password policies, we have set the obpasswordchangeflag to false for those users which are in same container for which password policy is created.
When we try to login to the application with the user say ABC, I am not seeing any reset password page - I am happy till this point. However it is showing Configure Challenge questions page. Is there any way to bypass this page? Or is this the expected behavior?
This is very urgent and prompt reply is very much appreciated.
-MahendraHi Mahendra,
This is expected behaviour. In order to exclude the password policy management for some certains user for particular domain/container. please add the below configuration parameter to your OAM10g password policy.
Password Policy Filter Field (!(|(cn=xxx)(cn=abc)))

URGENT: Motion JPEG?? Sequence problems
HI
I have a sequence that instead of having DV PAL in the settings has Motion JPEG A - will this be ok to go into DVDSP for a DVD video project??. This sequence has a few issues with frame size which I've made posts about and trying to rectify.
In the edited sequence I changed the Motion JPEG A to DV PAL, is this ok?? I'm about to try and test this out - but wanted to ask the forum for your urgent advice.
The 1024 x 576 frame size is wrong also - I tried making a new sequence with the 720 x 576 settings and copying and pasting my AV into the new timeline. The template graphic was ok, but the video within it is all stretched!!!
I'm starting to panic now.. as I need to send this off for sound then to the client tomorrow first thing...
Hope you can help.
Cheers, MargieHi Karthik,
I'm not trying to create an animation for a webpage. I'm exporting the movie as a JPEG sequence for use in Final Cut Pro (as it's the cleanest way to recreate a flash animation in a movie file format). Exporting as a GIF Animation however creates the same problems as when I export as a JPEG sequence... the timelines within timelines (movie clips) don't move at all (the movie clips are animations of various carbon molecules moving in a larger animation of a lot of other things going on). Also, exporting as a GIF Sequence yeilds the same result... foreground elements move while background elements (movie clips) don't move. Strangely, everything DOES move when it's exported as a SWF file... except I can't use a SWF file. I've already tried exporting the file as a MOV file and it's too graphic-intensive and causes a lot of freezing in the animation when it renders as a MOV file, and when I try using various 3rd party SWF converters to convert the file to .MOV or .DV format, it also gets bogged down by the heavy graphics and freezes and skips.
The only way that it works is when I export it as a JPEG sequence because the computer doesn't have to render it in real time, but for some reason, movie clips within the timeline won't play. I'm hoping someone here knows a way around this, or a setting I can toggle to make it work. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks for trying though Karthik!

Major motion question for my FCP project
Hey Forum! I think this is the FIRST post I've made for motion, I see some names here, like Patrick S from the Final cut forum...and I've only "just" got into motion: Some background: I bought the "ripple" training series on motion...still learning.
I've run into a "snafu" that I am willing to bet is a simple fix...I just can't find it in Help or in the manual/tutorials: HEREGOES:
I created a neat little animation, two arrows in a ball (very cool working them out in Motion, and very simple too!) . I added a "spin" behavior to it...and had the spinning arrows repel text, then follow a motion path, with cool livetype flowing in behind it...LOOKS GREAT!!!
SO...how the **** do I "layer it" onto my video??? I tried to import the video itesef (.mov) from FCP, but it does not just layer (meaning the black is replaced by the video).... what did I do wrong? HOw do I fix it?
Thanks so much for your time!
MarkI know this question is answered (and pretty old now) but I stumbled across it whilst looking for something else... and just wanted to check that you didn't have the background set to solid in project properties under the edit menu?
My settings in the general tab of this are background colour: black, and background opacity: transparent. If this was set to solid instead of transparent then you would always have a black background even if you imported your project directly into FCP.
If it was this then please let me know as it'd be nice to think I've actually managed to help somebody. I'm sure though, that you've probably already checked this, but best to be on the safe side. -
Westell/Airport Extreme/Airport Express question
I've read so many different options to extend a wireless network my head's spinning.
Have Westell DSL modem; Have had the Extreme also routing (but causing double NAT problems) so want to bridge it. Just got Airport Express, which I want to also put in bridge mode, connect to AEBS via Ethernet, providing wireless coverage in a distant room in the house.
Question 1:
Can both the Extreme and the Express be put in bridge mode, so that all they're doing is providing wireless coverage? I'd do all my Port forwarding in the Westell then.
Question 2: I thought I had the Express plugged into a port on the Extreme, but discovered it was actually plugged into the Westell (two wireless networks "side by side". If they're named the same, will it work that way? I would like access to the hard drive plugged into the Extreme, no matter which wireless network I'm accessing.
My suspicion is that the setup will work, but it's not *really* extending my Extreme network at all; it's just another network. All the IPs though are coming from the Westell.
I'm very confused!Question 1:
Can both the Extreme and the Express be put in bridge mode, so that all they're doing is providing wireless coverage? I'd do all my Port forwarding in the Westell then.
Yes.
Question 2: I thought I had the Express plugged into a port on the Extreme, but discovered it was actually plugged into the Westell (two wireless networks "side by side". If they're named the same, will it work that way? I would like access to the hard drive plugged into the Extreme, no matter which wireless network I'm accessing.
Is your goal to have both AirPorts be connected back to the Westell gateway by Ethernet? If so, you can configure the entire network as a roaming network. If on the other hand, you will only have the Extreme connected to the gateway by Ethernet and the Express connected to the Extreme by wireless, then you can configure the AirPorts for an extended network?
Please check out this Apple Support article on extending networks with AirPorts.
