Find reader through Offcard API

Hi friends,
System.out.println("Search readers..... ");
Context context = new Context();
context.EstablishContext(PCSC.SCOPE_GLOBAL, null, null);
String[] readers = context.ListReaders();
if (readers.length <= 0) {
System.err.println("No readers found...");
return;
System.out.println("Current using reader..... ");
System.out.println(readers[0]);
Card card = context.Connect(readers[0]);In IBM offcard API, is there any code like this for checking current reader name...because i couldnt find out my reder name... my reader is "Gemplus USB Smart Card Reader o"... can any body help me....

Ask in the Reader forum. However, the process should be a property of the print driver for your printer, not Reader.

How can I insert watermark in printing document by ADOBE Reader through Windows API hooking?

Hi. I'm now trying to hook windows API to insert watermark image when printing a document.
It works fine with MS Word, PowerPoint, Notepad and Mspaint except Adobe Reader when I hooked EndPage API calls to insert watermark image.
And all the progress looks work well from the log but i can't insert the watermark image.
Then i tried it with another PDF viewer, it was work well except only ADOBE Reader.
Any suggestions will be helpful to me.
Thank you.

My MacBook Pro has an SDXC card slot. I insert a SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo into slot but nothing happens and I can't find anything through finder or in utilities. Am I missing something or is it a faulty reader?

My MacBook Pro has an SDXC card slot. I insert a SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo into slot but nothing happens and I can't find anything through finder or in utilities. Am I missing something or is it a faulty reader?

The SD card slot ois for SD cards not Memory Sticks. hat is why nothing is happening. you will need a Memory stick reader that connects to one of the USB ports.

Native OffCard API's

Hello everyone.
From topics posted int his forum I found out that there is ability to write OffCard-side application for working with JCOP card not inly Java, but also in C/ C++?I am right?
What are the native languages and interfaces/classes, that I can use to program host-side application for sending APDU's to my Applet installed on JCOP card?
Where can i find more info about that?
It would be very nice,
if you could tell me more about such OffCard solutions.
Bes regards,
Eve

To make it more clear,
I decided to explain, why I am so interested in alternative offCard solutions.
See, I have already developed an Java Card Applet.
I implemented Java OffCard API program, that enables to call to the Applet functions, installed on card.
But I also have a project, written in C++. So, I need to write some C functions, that just would send several APDU's to my implemented applet on-card.
I suppose, that communicating to the card is something quite similar to communication through sockets, just sending predefined APDU array. (simulation works just like that). So I think there must be some possibility in C/C++/.Net to send APDU's to the pcsc reader to use my applet. But there is no documentation to jct.dll that is used.
I hadn't been able to find more concrete information in the Internet.
Could you help me?
Best regards,
Eve

Strange read-through operation after entry processor work

Hi.
We use the combination cache listener - entry processor to do some actions when the data comes to coherence. We use Oracle Coherence Version 3.5.3/465.
Just after the entry processor has set the new value for the entry, the new "get" operation is called for the cache and jdbc hit is done for this key.
Here is the entry processor:
public Object process(Entry entry) {
        if (!entry.isPresent()) {
            // No entities exist for this CoreMatchingString - creating new Matching unit
            MatchingUnit newUnit = new MatchingUnit(newTrade);
            entry.setValue(newUnit, true);
            return null;
        ((MatchingUnit)entry.getValue()).processMatching(newTrade);
        return null;
    }Very interesting, that if I use entry.setValue(value) without second parameter - I recieve the db hit just on setValue method. According to docs, setValue() with one parameter returns the previous value and its logical, that the cache hit (and therefore the db hit) is done just on set. But I use the overloaded version void setValue(java.lang.Object oValue, boolean fSynthetic), which is said to be light and should not fetch previous version of the object. But this is done anyway! Not on setValue itself, but just after the process() method called.
Actually it's strange, that coherence tries to fetch the previous value in the case it didn't exist! The cache.invoke(matchingStr, new CCPEntryProcessor(ccp)) is invoked on not existing record and it is created just on invokation. May be it's the bug or the place for optimization.
Thanks

Thanks, Robert, for such detailed answer.
Still not clear for me, why synthetic inserts are debatable. There are lots of cases, when the client simply updates/inserts the record (using setValue()) and does not need to recieve the previous value. If he needs, he will launch the method:Hi Anton,
it is debatable because the purpose of the fSynthetic flag is NOT so that you can optimize a cache store operation away. Synthetic event means that this is not real change in the data set triggered by the user, it is something Coherence has done on the backing map / on the cache for its own reasons and decisions to be able to provide high-availability to the data, and it only changes that particular Coherence node's subset of data but does not have a meaning related to the actually existing full data set. Such reasons are partition movement and cache eviction (or possibly any other reasons why Coherence would want to change the content of the backing map without telling the user that anything has changed).
If you set the synthetic flag, you are trying to masquerade a real data change as an event which Coherence decided to trigger. This is why it is debatable. Also, synthetic backing map events may not always lead to dispatching cache events (for partition rebalance they definitely not). This optimization may also be extended to synthetic cache events.
java.lang.Object setValue(java.lang.Object oValue)and recieve the previous value. If he doesn't, he calls:
void setValue(java.lang.Object oValue, boolean fSynthetic)and DOESN'T recieve the previous value as method is marked void. Thus he cannot get the previous value anyhow using this API, except of the direct manual db call. Yep, because Coherence is not interested in the old value in case of a synthetic event. The synthetic methods exist so that some entry can be changed in Coherence (usually by Coherence itself) in a way that it indicates a synthetic event so that listeners are not notified.
Some valid uses for such functionality for setValue invoked by user code could be compacting some cached value and replacing the value the backing map stores with the compacted representation, which does not mean a change in the meaning of the actual cached value, only the representation changes. Of course if the setValue(2) method does not actually honor the synthetic flag, then such functionality will still incur all the costs of a normal setValue(1) call.
But the previous value is anyway fetched by Coherence itself just after process() and client anyway doesn't get it! But any listeners on the cache may need to get it due to cache semantics reasons.
In this case I regard this as the bug, cause the client, which uses this API doesn't expect the cache hit to take place (no return value for this overloaded setValue() method), but it takes and leads to some extra problems, resulting from read-through mechanizm.
I would not regard it as a bug, it is probably the case of documenting a possible optimization too early, when it ultimately did not get implemented. I definitely would not try to abuse it to set a value without triggering a db fetch, as again, the intention of the synthetic flag is related not only to the cache loader functionality, but also to events and marking that a change indicates a real data change or a Coherence data management action.
Now I understand why coherence does not know, whether this is inserted or updated value, thanks for details.
Anton.
*Edited: I thought about this problem from the point of the oracle user, but may be this additional hit is necessary for event producers, which need to make the events, containing old/new values. In this case this seems to be the correct behaviour.... Seems that I need some other workaround to avoid db hit. The best workaround is the empty load() method for cachestore...You can try to find a workaround, but it is an ugly can of worms, because of the scenario when more than one thread tries to load the same entry, and some of them try to load it with a reason.
You may try to put some data into thread-local to indicate that you don't really want to load that particular key. The problem is that depending on configuration and race conditions your cache loader may not be called to clean up that thread-local as some other thread may just be invoked right now and in that case its return value is going to be returned to all other threads, too, so you may end up with a polluted thread.

Robert

Anybody know of a way to add or modify Accounting Periods through an API?

I am trying to import and modify Inventory Accounting Periods. Does anybody know of a way to do this through an API? I can't find an API to do this so I'm thinking that I might have to a direct insert. Thanks for the help.

I think that I have figured out a way for 3/4 to be solved. Some background on the problem is that the two Oracle instance are supposed to be in sync with one another. I am currently working on syncing the GL periods and INV periods. For GL periods, I have found GL_PERIODS_PKG.Load_Row for creation and GL_PERIODS_PKG.update_row for opening of a period. For INV, I am going to use CST_ACCOUNTPERIOD_PUB.open_period to do opening however I can't find a seeded creation procedure.

Retrieving billing/usage through Azure API

Offcard apis

I am currently looking at the JCOP tools plugin for eclipse. I have the plugin and it's registered. I have created a very simple applet which allows me to send and receive information. It works fine using the simulator provided. I now wish to write a an application which communicates with the applet using APDUs. As I understand I should be able to use classes within com.ibm.jc to communicate with the emulator and/or a card reader. I can't however find the offcard apis (com.ibm.jc). The libraries were not included in the zip file which I downloaded from here http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/dw/jcop/tools.zip.
This may seem a silly question, but where do I get the offcard libraries from?

You can find the JAR file: \plugins\com.ibm.bluez.jcop.eclipse_3.1.1.b\lib\offcard.jar and the API doc in Eclipse under Help, Help Contents, JCOP Tools User Guide.

Assigning roles to LDAP users through BIP API

Hi.
My customer has BIP 11g and OIM 9.1.0.2 running on the same weblogic server (11g). Both authenticate against the same LDAP server.
One of our desired next steps is to provision from OIM the BIP roles to each LDAP user so every user gets the correct roles (and access to the correct reports) according to the groups he has on OIM.
I've been searching for info regarding this without success. The BIP API doc does not show any info about assigning roles to users.
We don't need to manage LDAP users, BIP roles, etc... through OIM. We only need to assign BIP roles to LDAP users.
Is it possible to make that assignments through BIP API?
If not, any other ideas? New ideas or different approaches are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

In OBIEE 11g which includes BIP the application roles are applied to LDAP users and groups using the Enterprise Manager Fusion Control.
During the upgrade process from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g the groups do get assigned to these roles transparently so there must be some API to leverage this functionality.
I would start there, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10541/admin_api.htm
There are no specific instructions on accomplishing what you seek but if you have some WLST or Java Skills you should be able to get something prototyped.
Let me know if that helps.

Enabling a User through OIM API

Hi I am trying to enable a user through OIM API, However the end date is already passed for that user, I am setting up a new end date through the Program (showm below). However the update user is not working (i am not sure).
Map usermap = new HashMap();
usermap.put("Users.User ID", User_id );
Map grpmap = new HashMap();
grpmap.put("Groups.Group Name", Group_Name);
tcResultSet ts = userClient.findUsers(usermap); //find all users
String existing_end_date = ts.getStringValue("Users.End Date");
tcResultSet tg = groupClient.findGroups(grpmap); //find requireq group
long ukey = ts.getLongValue("Users.Key");
long gkey = tg.getLongValue("Groups.Key"); //find group key
// ENABLE THE USER
java.util.Date new_end_date = new java.util.Date(111,1,1);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(new_end_date);
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
String Str1 = dateFormat.format(cal.getTime());
String Str2 = existing_end_date + " 12:00:00";
System.out.println(User_id+" OLD End Date:" + Str2 + " New End Date: " + Str1);
Map usermap2 = new HashMap();
usermap2.put("Users.User ID", User_id );
usermap2.put("Users.End Date", Str1);
userClient.updateUser(ts,usermap2);
userClient.enableUser(ukey);
I am getting the following error:

Reading through a text file and then sorting

I'm having a lot of problems with this.
I have to read through a text file and I have to split the string up so that it is seperated into individual tokens. A line from the text file looks like this. addEvent(new Bell(tm + 9000)). I have to grab the addEvent, new, Bell, tm and 9000 and store it in a linkedlist. After reading through the whole text file I have to sort the the linked list based on the number. ie: 9000. Is there any way to do this? I currently break up the text file using a StringTokenizer object but then i am uncertain on how to add it to a linked list and then sort each line based on the number. Any help would be appreciated.
Joe

Sorry to bother you Ben but I just can't get my head wrapped around this. Here is exactly what I have to do:
After reading, Events must be stored in the EventSet according to the time they are to occur. Assume that no time number is more than 8 digits long. Restart() must be able to deal appropriately with any order of the Events. To accomplish this have Restart() save the relevant Event information in an LinkedList of strings and sort the Events by time before adding each event to EventSet. Use the <list>.add() to set up your linked list. This is shown in c09:List1.java and Collections.sort(<list>) shown in c09:ListSortSearch. Modify the Bell() to output a single "Bing!". When you read in a Bell event generate the appropriate number of Bell events as indicated by rings. These must be set to the correct times. This is an alternative to generating the new Bell events within Bell(). It will allow them be sorted into their correct time sequence. At this point the output of the program should be identical the original program.
After the intitial start, when restarting Restart() must provide to the user the option to recreate the EventSet from the linked list or read in a new file (supplied by the user). This must be achieved by prompting the user at the console. Please also allow the user the option to quit the program at this stage.
Main Program Code:
public class GreenhouseControls extends Controller
private boolean light = false;
private boolean water = false;
private String thermostat = "Day";
private boolean fans = false;
     private class FansOn extends Event
          public FansOn(long eventTime)
               super(eventTime);
          public void action()
          // Put hardware control code here to
          // physically turn on the Fans.
          fans = true;
          public String description()
               return "Fan is On";
     private class FansOff extends Event

Is this problem easier than I think it is? I just don't know what to add to the linkedList. A LinkedList within a linkedList? I find this problem pretty difficult. Any help is muchly appreciated.
