Future of interMedia

Hi,
I have a working application that stores image data in a column of type BLOB. The application is written in Perl. I was searching on Google and found out about Oracle interMedia and the ORDSYS, ORDIMAGE and related data types. However, I can't find much official information from Oracle about these data types, and the advantages or disadvantages of using them.
Do you know if there is any advantage to converting our column to this format and our code to using this format (for example, improved efficiency), or is there a disadvantage (decreased efficiency? possible deprecation?).
We're currently on Oracle 9i, and most of the web sites that I found that talk about interMedia refer to Oracle 8. Is this technology already on its way out, or am I just searching on the wrong terms?
I hope that I have not asked too many questions.
Thanks,
Bernie.

Let me assure you that Oracle interMedia is alive and well and is being enhanced in every release. For example, we added support for several new image processing operators, new media formats, and the SQL/MM Still Image Standard in Oracle 10g.
There are many advantages to storing your media data in an ORDImage column rather than a column of type BLOB. The interMedia object types are self-describing and are easy for applications and tools to understand. For example, Oracle Tools such as JDeveloper/BC4J and Oracle Application Server Portal are integrated with interMedia and provide for rapid application development.
In addition, many of the features of interMedia are available to you even if you store your media data in BLOB columns.
Please take a look at the interMedia area of Oracle Technology Network:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/intermedia/index.html
In particular, take a look at the 'interMedia Quick Start Guide for the Object Interface':
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/intermedia/htdocs/intermedia_quickstart/intermedia_quickstart.html
You can also look at the 'interMedia Quick Start Guide for the Relational Interface' if you wish to keep your media data in BLOB columns:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/intermedia/htdocs/intermedia_quickstart/intermedia_rel_quickstart.html
Our product manager, Joseph Mauro, would be very interested in talking with your about your application requirements if you would like to get in touch with him at: [email protected]

markup only works for text file,right?any way to highlight pdf file in Intermedia?Thanks.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Omar Alonso ([email protected]):

I have the same problem. Will Oracle highlight word-documents in a future version? Or does anybody know another solution, i.e. a sdk from another company, which is built upon intermedia?

InterMedia Web Agent & BC4J

I've seen the code for Oracle8i interMedia Web Agent to store BLOBs in the DB but i see that it does not fits the OBC4J Framework.
How do we create a domain in my EO/VO for a BLOB column to be able to stream the bytes?
(I know already how to put/get the BLOB using JDBC.)
Thanks.

We (the interMedia group) will be shipping new JDBC compliant JAVA classes for interMedia on OTN in the near future. With these classes (and JDeveloper 3.1 with its improved object support) you can create bc4j domains for the types you need by extending the interMedia java classes and adding extra methods and overriding existing ones.

Intermedia File Support for Photoshop PSD

We're running Oracle Intermedia and we would like to
integrate Photoshop File Support so that we can extract
thumbnails, sizes and other file properties. is this
possible and if so how?
Thanx in advance.
cu Dirk

We don't currently support PSD files, our image processing is based upon JAI and it is not supported there, and we don't know were a codec can be found for PSD (and the format seems to be non-public).
We do have a foreign image format that can support some non-supported formats, but we don't think it can be used here since PSD files have a variable sized header, and a line length word for scan lines (this is from old information... You may be able to parse if the PSD is in uncompressed format). See: http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/appdev.920/a88786/mm_imgre.htm#1039692
We would be glad to know what your application is and what your requirements are, I would suggest you send an email to [email protected] the product manager for interMedia. We are considering future support for PSD.

InterMedia feat. IPTC

does interMedia support IPTC header information?
where can i find information about the IPTC support of interMedia?
thx

Annotator currently does support IPTC headers.
OrdImage will support it in the future, but does not today.
I would suggest you contact the product manager for interMedia ( [email protected] ) and let him know what you do and what your needs are...

InterMedia Image JPEG

InterMedia Image's JPEG compression allows 5 discrete compression values only - MAXCOMPRATIO, HIGHCOMP, MEDCOMP, LOWCOMP and MAXINTEGRITY. JPEG itself supports compression to any percentage 1 - 100. Why Intermedia does not support this full functionality? What are the actual values associated with those 5 discrete enumerated constants? Will the compression percentages associated with them change through versions?

We are looking into this in the future.

ICal for iPad not showing events more than 2 years in future in Year view

As the subject describes, I can create an appointment more than 2 years into the future. On my Mac and iPhone I can see the event using any view. It is also visible in all views on my iPad, except for the year view. A feature?

Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Bug? My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future.

My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future even though I can see them on the month, week and day view. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I've tried it all. I called the apple support and they checked on their iPads. They all did the same and they couldn't help me. They suggested trying this way. I'd like to be able to plan a few years ahead and the year view would make thing so easy!
Is this a bug?

ICal Search doesn't find my events in the distant future !!!

Here's a bit of a disturbing one: I use iCal (Leopard, so iCal 3.0.8 1287) to keep track of many things- not just a meeting next week or a TO DO - but also for long-term planning. I wanted to enter a reminder for about December 2016 concerning social security - but first wanted to check if I hadn't already done this. I typed social in the iCal search box and everything through 2009 came up.
But, I said, that's a bit strange since I was almost sure I'd put something into iCal already.
OK so then I went to the date 28 August 2017 (shift-cmd-T) and once there, I did the same search - and voila - my event about "social security" from 17 Nov 2016 showed-up in the serach results section!!! (I later tried going to March 2016 and it worked as well - so seems it has to be within a few months / year from the date-- ?!?)
Went back to another date closer to today (19 May 2010) - it did not show up.
For other searches, some events for April 2010 have showed-up; but nothing 3 years in the future.
For some repeating items I get results showing 2008 - 2011, but never further than that if I start the search on today's date. (I get all events from past dates all the time).
Another "workaround" is that if I type the word social into Spotlight, it finds the 17 Nov 2016 event.
Is this a "bug" that iCal cannot find distant future events? Any comments or other people's experience really appreciated. It's not good, this - (like doing a search on an Excel Spreadsheet and only getting recently dated information or something like that. Not good).
Appreciate any feedback here.
Best regards,
Steve Schulte

Try a new post in the iCal forum. They have more experience with things like this.

Provisioning a user in future date

Hello,
Creating a new user and provisioned to OID work properly.
Now I would like to create a user with start date in the future. OIM when the value USR_START_DATE is on the future it update the USR_PROVISIONING_DATE too on the same future date but not execute the provisioning to OID and the USR_STATUS is "Disabled Until Start Date"
If there any way to update the USR_START_DATE with a different USR_PROVISIONING_DATE and do the provioning as normal and keep USR_STATUS as Active.
thanks

Hello again,
i'm using the Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf.createUser((java.util.Map arg0).
arg0 will contain USR_PROVISIONING_DATE=today date and USR_START_DATE = to the future date.
I apply what your propose and push the USR_PROVISIONING_DATE=today date and put it on the pre-insert in Users form.
sorry it did not work, it change the value in USR_PROVISIONING_DATE to put the USR_START_DATE value and didn't provisioned
thanks

My child accidentally rented a movie on Apple TV. Is there a way to refund the rental if we don't watch it? How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to password protect future purchases?

How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to password protect future purchases?

Did you try Parental Controls?
Apple TV: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) - Apple Support
See if that does the trick: I think there's a way for you to request a password for purchases, but still be logged in.

When iTunes upgraded, many of my song tags were changed by iTunes. This happened again when an update was sent this week. Is there any way to avoid this happening again in the future?

When I downloaded the new iTunes, it changed the tags on some of my tracks. As a result, I had to fix them manually. When I downloaded another upgrade this week, my tags changed again. How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

The cricual thing is to have a complete backup of your library that you could restore if needed.
What changes are you noticing? There appear to be some new as yet not well documented features designed to sync data across multiple libraries/devices which may have unwanted side effects.

IMac hard drive fail - what steps to prevent in future?

I am working on an extensive video editing project on FCP7 on a 2011 iMac with 3.4GHz i7 and 8GB RAM running OSX Lion 10.7.5. I am editing very large pro res video files for a feature-length documentary. All media is stored on external hard drives.
Several times before, my iMac would freeze and not reboot. All times before, resetting the PRAM seemed to solve the problem.
Today, while exporting a 30min sequence, the spinning beachball got stuck. I noticed that Time Machine was running at the time, and I attempted to stop Time Machine in Preferences (it was not yet in process of transferring data--I tried stopping time machine before in a similar manner, and it seemed to speed up my computer). Now the entire computer froze. I manually turned off, and tried to reboot. This time, after holding down Command (⌘), Option, P, and R, nothing happened. I turned off and tried again, and this time the new computer setup screen appeared, and I am attempting to restore from time machine.
How do I know why my iMac HD failed this time, and how do I move forward from here?
Is my iMac HD compromised, or is it some type of software/OS problem?
How do I prevent future crashes/fails?
Should not run any other programs while editing in FCP7? Should I not run Time Machine while editing?
Thank you in advance, and please pray for my time machine full recovery

First, EVERY hard drive will fail. It's just a question of when. There's not much you can do to prevent the physical failure of the drive that I know of, besides making sure the computer runs as cool as possible. IMac's tend to run hot and that's probably gonna have some effect on the life expectancy of the drive.
As far as the problems that can happen which are not related to the physical failure of the drive.
Make sure you keep at least 20% free on your startup drive.
As Mark said, having a bootable clone is a really good idea. Here's a user tip all about cloning your startup drive.

Tag obrigatória no XML para processo de Entrega Futura

Boa noite!
Podem me orientar se o processo de entrada no GRC da nota de remessa, para o cenário de entrega futura pode seguir sem a tag NFref (do xml) estar preenchida? A empresa em que trabalho está implementando e não consegui nenhum exemplo de XML na versão 3.10 com essa tag preenchida por não ser obrigatória e, segundo a empresa que está implementando, não consegue passar dessa etapa.

Bianca,
primeiramente, o lugar correto para postar este tipo de mensagem é no espaço SPED & NF-e. SPED & NF-e
Quanto a sua pergunta: sim, o GRC exige que exista referência na nota de entrega futura. Leia + nessa thread: NF-e Inbound - FUTDELGR - Erro na validação do fornecimento futuro

Erro 8B260 (Processo de Entrega Futura)

Bom dia, Pessoal!
Estou com um problema no processo de devolução de entrega futura.
Realizei a entrada da nota de fatura normalmente atraves da MIRO e da nota de remessa atraves da MIGO (mov 801).
O fornecedor nos enviou as notas de Fatura e Remessa como de entrada pois ele ainda não tem a obrigação legal da NFE, porém a empresa aonde estou já está obrigada a utilizar a NFE e ao realizar a devolução o sistema não encontra a referencia da nota de remessa. A mensagem de erro é a 8B 260 (NOTA FISCAL DE REFERÊNCIA XXXXX NÃO FOI ENCONTRADA)
O pedido está somente com a opção de parceiro FO o processo já foi criado sem a opção de parceiro "FM" (Fornecedor da Mercadoria).
As Notas Abaixos já estão aplicadas:
NF:
1055401 Subcontracting Returns doesn't find reference Nota Fiscal
NF-e:
1175538 NF-e Reference between NF and NF-e
1238765 NF-e: Returns for Subcontracting - Error 8B287
1257933 NF-e: Reference NF not found by return for subcontracting
1288925 NF-e: References between NF-e and non NF-e
1356952 NF-e: Returns for Subcontracting - Error 8B260
Estive debugando a função J_1B_NF_DOCUMENT_SELECT_2 e o que pode verificar é que como o processo de fatura/remessa é gerado atraves de uma nota de entrada ele armazena as informações J_1BNFDOC-NFNUM porem ao realizar a devolução, como a empresa que estou é obrigada a emitir a NFE a função realiza a busca no campo J_1BNFDOC-NFENUM com o numero da nota de remessa (NFNUM) por este motivo não é encontrado a nota de referencia e o erro é apresentado.
Eu procurei por alguma nota que pudesse corrigir meu problema porém não encontrei nenhuma aplicavél, alguem tem alguma ideia de como resolver este problema?
Obrigado
Gustavo

Olá xará,
tudo certo?
Esse erro provavelmente está ocorrendo porque existem múltiplos parceiros atribuídos ao Pedido de Compras.
No procesos de entrega futura, contudo, o sistema comporta somente a utilização de um parceiro, do contrário o processo é interpretado como sendo uma operação triangular.
Abraços
