Fork and block

hi all,
what is the diffreence btween fork and block?
regards,
keerthi

Hi Keerthi,
Fork : when you want to continue a process in branches that are independent of each other and the branches of the fork join in a union operator.You can define the required number of branches to continue the process.
Block: You can define the mode Parallel For Each(ParForEach) for a block or Dynamic Sequence (ForEach). This means that the block is executed for all elements of a multi-line container element.
Check this link for all step types :http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/0f/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
You can check it out how these step types will use in the process from SWC -SAP BASIS of the namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns.It would gives the overall idea on BPM and you can find out the needful blogs from this forum.

Fork and parforeach

hi all,
diff between fork and parforeach
regards,
krish

Hi Krishna,
The exact difference is static and dynamic. I mean when you know the exact number of incoming messages where by you want do some process on each message then you can use Fork else you can use Block with mode ParForEach
ParForEach :
parforEach is used for Mode property with Block step in Integration process.
Block is used for to combine steps that you want to execute one after the other and which are to access the same local data .You can also use a block to combine steps that you want to have the same deadline or exception handler, or to define a local correlation.
In a dynamic mode, the block is executed for each line of a multiline container element. In ParForEach mode, an instance of the block is generated for each line of the multiline container element. All instances are processed simultaneously. In ForEach mode, the block first runs through for the first line of the multiline container element, then for the second, and so on.
You can use the ParForEach mode when you want to send a message to multiple receivers simultaneously, for example. To do so, you use a receiver determination step to determine a multiline container element with the list of receivers. You then define that the message is sent to these receivers in a block with the ParForEach mode. You can use the ForEach mode when you want to send a message to multiple receivers one after the other, for example.
You specify the multiline container element in the Multiline Element attribute. In the Current Line field specify a container element that takes the value of the multi-line container element for which the block will run.
You can define an end condition for the dynamic mode (see also: Condition Editor). This is checked as soon as the block has run through for one line of the multiline container element. The block is complete as soon as one of the lines of the multiline container element returns true for the end condition, or all lines of the multiline container element have been processed.

SunMC - Process is forking and reaping child processes. What's that?

Hey folks,
Im really new to the sysadmin world, and I think maybe my company really didn't think things well when they've decided to put me doing this, hehehe.
I work with a general queue for which my team receives tickets with different kind of problems, among them, Automation Alerts (I think you all know what Im talking about).
Recently (maybe 2-4 days) we've started to receive an Automation Ticket with the following message:
Solaris Process Monitoring Process Monitoring Base03 CPU
time for reaped children 107.1 30.0 Process is forking and
reaping child processes.
I've found almost nothing about this, and even when I think what's this ticket about (I've closed 2 or 3 of them stating no issues were found), I really want to understand and know where to look and if something can be done about this, because processes on the server and general state of it seems in good condition and nothing looks bad, apparently. The server is a Solaris 10 with zones.
Can you shed some light on this? I'd appreciate all the help you can give me.
Thank you and regards all.

The same thought occurred to me, except I started seeing "failure" logs in JAMF the morning after we run maintenance policies. All of these failures were due to the Mac not restarting, which isn't really a failure - more of an inconvenience - since the second part of the policy (removing eTrust antivirus and restarting is part 1, installing SEP 12.1 and restarting is part 2) runs immediately on restart no matter what time of the day it is.
In some cases the macs did not restart because the user had unsaved work or something else that would cancel logout. In this case, Casper prompts the user to restart and waits until the OK button is clicked, then counts down 1 minute and restarts. In the other case, nothing would have prevented logout yet the computer still did not logout and then restart, leading me to believe that the reason the Mac did not log out was a locked desktop, and since I am telling System Events to simulate a gui log out, this would be blocked by a locked desktop.
The problem basically stems from the following two issues: 1. I am not to force a logout or restart when a console user is logged in and 2. Casper will not automatically log a console user out on it's own OR restart the computer if a console user is logged in - and then I have to rely on the end user to follow on screen instructions since the Casper restart prompt can be moved to the side and effectively ignored.
When no restarts are required for the various policies we run, this is not an issue. And anyway, I originally just wanted to know what process is running when a desktop is asleep and locked, but no screen saver is active...

SQL Timeouts and Blocking Locks

SQL Timeouts and Blocking Locks
Just wanted to check in and see if anyone here has feedback on application settings, ColdFusion settings, JBOSS settings or other settings that could help to limit or remove SQL Timeouts and blocking locks on SID's.
We're using MS SQL 2000 with JBOSS and IIS5.
We've been seeing the following error in our logs that starts blocking locks in SQL:
java.sql.SQLException: [newScale] [SQLServer JDBC Drive] [SQLServer] Lock request time out period exceeded.
Once this happens, we're hosed until we remove the blocking SID in SQL. These are the connections to the application.
Any feedback would be great. Thanks!

Hi
This is your exact solution:
Select a.username, a.sid, a.serial#, b.id1, c.sql_text
From v$session a, v$lock b, v$sqltext c
Where b.id1 in( Select distinct e.id1
from v$session d , v$lock e
where d.lockwait = e.kaddr ) and
a.sid = b.sid and
c.hash_value = a.sql_hash_value and
b.request =0;
Thanks

Dead lock and Blocking Lock

I would like to understand what is major difference between Dead Locks and Blocking Locks in Oracle. If someone could explain or point me to good web Link I would really appreciate
Thanks.

Tony's advise is very good.
In simple terms a blocking lock is a lock being held by one session that is preventing another session from performing an DML operation on the same data until the holding session commits or rollbacks.
A deadlock is a situation where two or more sessions lock data in such a manner as each session is waiting on a resource held by another session so that none of the session can complete their unit of work. That is session A locks row 1 then session B locks row 2 followed by session A attempts to lock row 2 while session B now attemps to lock row 1. Neither session A or B will ever be able to complete thier transaction releasing the locks and allowing waiting sessions to process since each session is waiting on a resource that the other session has while holding a resource the other session needs. In other words a deadlock. Oracle detects deadlocks and kills one of the sessions freeing resources.

How to create a new rule in Windows Firewall to permit some specific IPs and block all other computers

Hello,
I have a Win7 PC. I want to block all incoming connections except 3 or 4 IPs. How can i do this?
I created a new rule to block all connections using this steps:
Inbound rules > New Rule > Custom > All Programs > All Protocols / Ports > All Local/Remote IPs > Block the connectiion > All profiles > Then i gave a name
This rule works fine and blocks all incoming connections.
Then i want to create a new rule to allow specific IPs using this steps:
Inbound rules > New Rule > Custom > All Programs > All Protocols / Ports > Remote IPs: 192.168.10.5, 192.168.10.10 > Allow the connection > All profiles > Then i gave a name
But 192.168.10.5 and 192.168.10.10 couldn't reach W7 machine.
(If rules are disabled or FW is off; both IPs could reach W7 machine)
Thanks

Hi,
How did you check these two IP address? Through remote access? According to your description, it should only allow remote IP could access this computer. Please also allow local IP for test.

When I open up a new mail in Yahoo! Mail, email addresses from previous mails stay on screen and block the "copy to" bar. How do I get rid of this?

When you are typing the addresses into a Yahoo! Mail, the browser helps you by suggesting people from your address book in a drop down box.
But when I've finsihed that mail and open up a new one, old addresses remain on screen and block the "copy to" box. You can't click on them or zap them, they are just fixed on screen.
Have had this probelm for a long time, through many Firefox updates and also having moved to a new Mac.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Tablespaces and block size in Data Warehouse

We are preparing to implement Data Warehouse on Oracle 11g R2 and currently I am trying to set up some storage strategy - unfortunately I have very little experience with that. The question is what are general advices in such considerations according table spaces and block size? I made some research and it is hard to find some clear answer, there are resources advising that block size is not important and can be left small (8 KB), others state that it is crucial and should be the biggest possible (64KB). The other thing is what part of data should be placed where? Many resources state that keeping indexes apart from its data is a myth and a bad practice as it may lead to decrease of performance, others say that although there is no performance benefit, index table spaces do not need to be backed up and thats why it should be split. The next idea is to have separate table spaces for big tables, small tables, tables accessed frequently and infrequently. How should I organize partitions in terms of table spaces? Is it a good idea to have "old" data (read only) partitions on separate table spaces?
Any help highly appreciated and thank you in advance.

The question is what are general advices in such considerations according table spaces and block size? If you need to ask about block sizes, use the default (i.e. 8KB).
I made some research and it is hard to find some clear answer, But if you get contradictory advice from this forum, how would you decide which bits to follow ?
A couple of sensible guidelines when researching on the internet - look for material that is datestamped with recent dates (last couple of years), or references recent - or at least relevant - versions of Oracle. Give preference to material that explains WHY an idea might be relevant, give greater preference to material that DEMONSTRATES why an idea might be relevant. Check that any explanations and demonstrations are relevant to your planned setup.

It is often convenient, and sometimes very important, to separate data into different tablespaces based on some aspect of functionality. The performance thing was mooted (badly) in an era when discs were small and (disk) partitions were hard; but all your other examples of why to split are potentially valid for administrative. Big/Small, table/index, old/new, read-only/read-write, fact/dimension etc.
For data warehouses a fairly common practice is to identify some sort of aging pattern for the data, and try to pick a boundary that allows you to partition data so that a large fraction of the data can eventually be made read-only: using tablespaces to mark time-boundaries can be a great convenience - note that the tablespace boundary need not match the partition boudary - e.g. daily partitions in a monthly tablespace. If you take this type of approach, you might have a "working" tablespace for recent data, and then copy the older data to "time-specific" tablespace, packing it and making it readonly as you do so.
Tablespaces are (broadly speaking) about strategy, not performance. (Temporary tablespaces / tablespace groups are probably the exception to this thought.)

Question About Java Threads and Blocking

I'm helping someone rehost a tool from the PC to the Sun. We're using the Netbeans IDE and the Java programming language. I took a Java course several years ago, but need some help with something now. We're developing a front-end GUI using Swing to allow users to select different options to perform their tasks. I have a general question that will apply to all cases where we run an external process from the GUI. We have a "CommandProcessor" class that will call an external process using the "ProcessBuilder" class. I'm including the snippet of code below where this happens. We pass in a string which is the command we want to run. We also instantiate a class called "StreamGobbler" my coworker got off the Internet for redirecting I/O to a message window. I'm also including the "StreamGobbler" class below for reference. Here's the "CommandProcessor" class:
// Test ProcessBuilder
public class CommandProcessor {
public static void Run(String[] cmd) throws Exception {
System.out.println("inside CommandProcessor.Run function...");
Process p = new ProcessBuilder(cmd).start();
StreamGobbler s1 = new StreamGobbler("stdin", p.getInputStream());
StreamGobbler s2 = new StreamGobbler("stderr", p.getErrorStream());
s1.start();
s2.start();
//p.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process Returned");
Here's the "StreamGobbler" class:
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
// Attempt to make the output of the process go to the message window
// as it is produced rather that waiting for the process to finish
public class StreamGobbler implements Runnable {
String name;
InputStream is;
Thread thread;
public StreamGobbler (String name, InputStream is){
this.name = name;
this.is = is;
public void start(){
thread = new Thread (this);
thread.start();
public void run(){
try{
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
while (true){
String s = br.readLine();
if (s == null) break;
System.out.println(s);
//messageWindow.writeToMessageArea("[" + name + "]" + s);
is.close();
catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println("Problem reading stream" + name + "...:" + ex);
ex.printStackTrace();
The "CommandProcessor" class calls two (2) instances of the "StreamGobbler" class, one for "stdin" and one for "stderr". My coworker discovered these are the 2 I/O descriptors that are needed for the external command we're running in this case. We're actually called the Concurrent Versions System (cvs) command from the GUI. Here's what we need it to do:
We want to display the output real-time as the external process is executing, but we want to block any actions being performed on the GUI itself until the process finishes. In other words, we want to show the user any generated output from the process, but don't want to alllow them to perform any other actions on the GUI until this process has finished. If we use the "waitFor()" function associated with a process, it blocks all external process output until the process has completed and then spews all the output to the screen all at once. That's NOT what we want. Also, if we don't use the "waitFor()" function, the code just continues on as it should, but we don't know how to block any actions on the GUI until this process has finished. My coworker tried the following code, but it also blocked any output until the process had finished:
while (s1.thread.isAlive() || s2.thread.isAlive())
// We really don't do anything here
I'm pretty sure we have to use threads for the output, but how do we instantly show all output and block any GUI actions?
Thank you in advance for your help!

You're talking about a GUI, but there's nothing in that code which is putting events into the GUI update thread. You also say that nothing happens to the GUI until the CommandProcessor.Run() method returns if you wait for the process.
This implies that you're calling CommandProcessor.Run() in an ActionListener. This will block the GUI thread until it completes.
I was going to explain what to do, but a quick Google informed me that there's a new class which is designed to help in these situations SwingWorker (or as a [separate library|https://swingworker.dev.java.net/] if you're not up-to-date yet).

How to read particular Sector and Block in Mifare 1k through Java?

Hi Friends..
Do you know how to read particular Sector and Block in Mifare 1K through Java?..
I've created the simple application that read data from Mifare 1K, but i've problem when i want to read the other sectors and blocks..
i tried to read the blocks by using this APDU command :
FF B0 00 00 10 //read data in Sector 0 and Block 0
FF B0 00 01 10 //read data in Sector 0 and Block 1
FF B0 00 02 10 //read data in Sector 0 and Block 2
FF B0 00 03 10 //read data in Sector 0 and Block 1How to read the other sectors and blocks?..
I've tried to read data in Sector 1 and Block 5, so i tried to send this APDU command : FF B0 01 05 10, but i got this error : *6986*
Actually, it doesn't matter if i use MifareWnd, but i want to create my own application that Read/Write From/into Mifare 1K..
Please help me regarding this..
Thanks in advance..

Aftershotz,
You're going to have to give a bit more information.
What do you mean by "opening a file in library?" There is no function of Aperture to open files -- you can open (switch) libraries.
You'll have to be more specific about error messages, too. Perhaps some screenshots would be useful to diagnose your problem. "Can't open database with library name" is not enough detail about what Aperture is really telling you.
