General question regarding environment files in APPL_TOP

Hi. I will be passing my OCP (hopefully) next month and I am now turning my head to teh Applications side since my job involves a lot of Oracle Financials.
I just did a clean installation of 11.5.10.2 but at the level of seeting environment files, my boss swooped in and did them all. I would love to know which ones need changing, or even which ones do what ...
I am using the Oracle doc Re: Generate the Database Context File
to follow with, but what I see before me in our own (9i, AIX 5.2) set up doesnt always mirror what the doc says.
I need some general information about these env. files. In our <ORA>APPL directory we have the following env. files:
APPSORA.env
DEV.env
DEV_davidcl.env
APPSDEV_davidcl.env
DAVIDCUST.env (I have changed our firm's name to David)
In the doc, it explains that there is a "main applications env file", and a consolidated applications file". <CONTEXT_NAME>.env and APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env respectively. Which ones are those in my directory listing?
I have also checked in the .profile of the appcldev and the appdbdev users, and they both point to the same two environment files -
$APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
and
$APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
Sorry this is a bit scrambled message - is there any other source out there to explain environment files?
Thanks
DA

Thanks - they are the same! That's why the DEV_davidcl.env has all the parameters that according to the doc APPDDEV_davidcl.env should have.
Thanks - very helpful. The DBA here never has any time to explain this stuff, since I think he's been doing it for so long that he doenst understand why anyone would not know it too. Its very hard working for him sometimes since nothing is explained.
All of my questions are stemming from this clean installation of 11.5.2 that I have done.
I am still wondering about the .profiles of each user we have on the system though. I understand that we had to copy the profiles from TEST to this, our DEV side, then we edited the profiles to match the DEV parameters. Fine.....but the actual .env files themselves - I am looking at them and dont understand at all.
Each .profile and each user are as follows:
appdbdev:
appdbdev@TEST:more .profile
APPL_TOP=/oradbi3/oracle/testappl;export APPL_TOP
. $APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
. $APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
appcldev:
appcldev@TEST:more .profile
APPL_TOP=/oracli3/oracle/devappl;export APPL_TOP
. $APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
. $APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
So these two, both on the cl node, appear to be pointing to same env files.
Then comes the db node:
oradbdev:
oradbdev@TEST:more .profile
. /oradbi3/oracle/devdb/9.2.0/DEV_daviddb.env
. /oradbi3/oracle/devappl/DAVIDCUST.env
I think I can understand the .env that are pointed to on the cl node, but I dont understand the oradbdev .profile, since its pointing to oradbi3/oracledevdb for one env file, then oradbi3/oracle/devappl for another.
I asked our DBA about this, and he said "dont worry about it". I have to try and run the script to start the application server this morning, but every time I try to su to the db node user I get this:
doralcl:/> su - appdbdev
.profile[2]: /oradbi3/oracle/devappl/DAVIDCUST.env: not found.
Like I mentioned, I pinted this out to our DBA and he told me not to worry.

General question regarding "parallelism" of iPhone execution

I've got a general question and hope somebody can shed some light on this.
While I'm relatively new to iPhone development I've been in software programing for more than 15 years now and have a solid background in Java, C, C++, C# and other languages. I've created a couple of applications for the iPhone, easy and complex ones, some using UIKit, others using Open GL and Open AL. With that said I think it would be fair to say that I know pretty much what I'm talking about.
For those who tend to refer everybody back to the Apple Samples or PDF guides, please believe me, I've read them all.
Here's my "question":
I occasionally ran into a situation where I got the impression that code on the iPhone got executed in a "non sequential" or "parallel" manner even when I did not explicitly created threads. I'm not referring to code buried in a framework or so, I'm talking about code I've written. (English is not my mother tongue, so please excuse me if my explanation might be somewhat difficult to understand.)
I try to give an example. Assume a code snippet like this:
_gameEngine = [GameEngine alloc];
[_gameEngine initSomeStuff];
In my understanding the second statement (the initSomeStuff) gets executed once alloc returns and _gameEngine for sure is a valid pointer. Is that fair to say? I sometimes got the impression that the iPhone starts executing code without waiting that a method returned.
I had similar issues when I tried to show an ActivityIndicator while another method was doing a lengthy operation. Pseudocode like this:
[_activityIndicator show];
[self longLastingOperation];
[_activityIndicator hide];
In code like the one above: Can I be 100% sure, that the hide message is not sent until longLastingOperation returns? I ran into a situation where I had the impression that show and hide got called immediately without waiting until longLastingOperation returned.
Final example:
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(doSomething) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];
[self nextStatement];
-(void)doSomething {
[self longLastingOperation];
1.) In the above code, I understand the idea is that doSomething will be executed on the MainThread and that nextStatement will in no way be executed before doSomething has returned. Is that true?
2.) doSomething is supposed to run on the MainThread but does this hold true for longLastingOperation, too? Or could it be that longLastingOperation WITHIN doSomething gets dispatched to another thread and doSomething returns PRIOR to longLastingOperation been finished?
This might all sound pretty wired but as I said from time to time I ran into a situation where I got totally confused as to how stuff executes in – or out of – sequence. I helped myself with using NSNotificationCenters etc. but I'd like to understand what's going on in detail and crystal clear here.
Your help is more than appreciated.
Thanks,
R.

Waveburner; a few Questions regarding track files and Session Data

After a bit of negotiating, I'm almost ready to burn. Was having problems with file locations and discovered that i had multiple files in different locations. Those have been eliminated and all relative track files are in one place now with the Song Data File as well.
I then re-imported the individual aif tracks only to find that all of my fades and edits are GONE. It appears that I may have to DO THEM ALL OVER AGAIN! Please tell me that there is a work around.
Is it possible to import only the Session Data related to the fades and edits(everything but the actual audio files), so as to avoid all this "do-again" work?
I was also wonder if it is necessary, or perhaps a good idea, to change the File INFO for each of the individual audio track files from "OpenWith" iTunes (default setting) to "Open With": WAVEBURNER ?. (selectable on the aiff files, "Show More Info" window
Currently the aif files are set to "OpenWith" iTunes (default)
One last question please.
Is Waveburner really up to snuff? How many people are using this for Mastering and Burning CD's? I'm about to start inserting some AU Mastering Plug Ins and I'm hoping for the best. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You're grammer isn't bad jord, it was I who asked a plethora of questions under one Subject heading.
When i open the project file(.wb3),
The prompt says;
"Please choose a replacement from the list below:"
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/1 Track 01.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/2 Track 02.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/3 Track 03.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/4 Track 04.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/6 Track 06.aiff
As you can see the files are in the trash.
The first problem is that there are no actual files in the trash. Just an icon of a CD Disc which was dragged there to eject it, It is no longer in the disc drive/tray. Perhaps i should put the disc back in the drive and then update/replace the files afterwords. (The CD is scratched.)
The strange thing is that i can still preview the track that's in the trash by selecting More Info and playing it on the little Quicktime player bar. I guess the file is in a cache somewhere?
I've looked everywhere on all drives for the specific files but can not find them anywhere.
In the Replacement prompt there is a place that I can check to "Search in the same folder for subsequent files" button on the "Replacement" prompt.
which "same folder" is it refering to?
The Trash folder where the old files are or the Folder where the actual .wb3 project file is? I do have all of the correctly named song files/regions in the same folder with the project file.
maybe i should just start again. i'm not one to give up easy though and would much prefer to "beat" the computer at the game.

Question regarding php files in apex bundle apex_4.0.2.zip

hi
please suggest why we have php files in apex ? I belive the spell checker textarea feature is removed from 4.0.2 but still there are some php files found in apex bundle and cause of this we have one vulnarability issue “Upgrade to PHP version 5.3.12 / 5.4.2 or later. A 'mod_rewrite' workaround is available as well.”
Please suggest if we can remove these files or they are really necessary and should stay in images folder ?
folder: \images\fck\editor\dialog\fck_spellerpages\spellerpages\server-scripts
spellchecker.php
spellchecker.cfm
spellchecker.pl

Hi Sachin,
you can remove the "server-scripts" folder. In newer versions of APEX this folder is not included anymore.

A general question concerning .EAR files?

Hi All,
My question is, what should be the file extension of the utility class that
I will include in my ".ear" file? Should it be filename.jar or
filename.war? The team that I am on has successfully been able to deploy a
.ear file that only contains our entity and session beans. We would also
like to "JAR" up our utility class, so that we may be to use the hot
deployment feature of the application server and the removal of the
enviroment variable where the utility classes are located.
We are currently using the Ant utility to help us build our .ear file.
When I give the utility file name a ".war" extension and then deploy the
".ear" file; the application server boots up successfully without throwing
any exceptions. When I give the utility file name a ".jar" extension and
then deploy the ".ear" file, the application server boots up successfully
with exceptions concerning unable to locate one to several utility classes.
Thank you in advance,
Charles

It sounds like you are having a ClassLoader problem.
The main advantage of deploying EJBs and WebApps in an ear file is that the
ClassLoader for the webapp inherrits from the ClassLoader for the EJBs.
This basicly means that the webapp can see the EJBs...when you put another
util.jar file in the EAR file this will be in a different ClassLoader and
not accesible by either the EJBs or the WebApp
(and visa-versa)....to make this accesible you need to add the entry
Class-Path: util.jar to the manifest file for the EJB.
1)Create a text file newmanifest.txt with a one line entry of
Class-Path: util.jar
2) When you build the original EJB jar file do like this:
jar cmf newmanifest.txt MyEJB.jar com META-INF
-this will create the jar file MyEJB.jar adding directories com and META-INF
and including the contents of newmanifest.txt in the manifest for the jar
file.
3) Build this all into the ear file.
The EJB will now be able to see the util.jar and because the WebApp can see
the same as the EJB it will also be able to see the util.jar.

Another question regarding smil files and NPR

I'm having troube listening to NPR smil files. I've read the previous posts regarding this issue, but seem to be experiencing a different twist. There are no files downloading to play when I click on "listen". When I click the "listen" button a QT safari screen appears and I get a spinning arrow with heading "downloading". However, nothing ever downloads to my desk top. This is very strange as just last weekend I downloaded NPR files and they were saved to my desktop as Real Time files and I was able to play with them with no problem. I've done nothing to QT or RT in the mean time.
I've tried the previous suggestions posted of going to the Get Info section of a previously downloaded smil file and changing the settings to say all smil files should play with RT - restarted my computer - nothing. Help!

Was able to figure this out myself. Had to go into QT preferences and elect to not play smil type files and go in to RT and re-elect to play smil files using RT. Restarted my computer and it works like a charm.

General question and RAW Files

My apologies if this has been asked before, or if this is in the wrong forum, but I just couldn't find all the answers that I was looking for by searching the forums.
I am getting ready to purchase a new Mac Pro for my wife (and myself of course) because she has really gotten into digital photography. In addition, she has asked for a new high end Camera. Something that would let her enjoy her hobby to the fullest. Now I have a couple of questions I'm still looking for clarification on.
1. What exactly are RAW files, most of the other terminology she has thrown at me I have found the answers too and think I now understand. I am getting the feeling this is something that I should understand based upon what I have read but I just havn't found a clear definition.
2. Is there a good website that I can use to help educate myself in order to make informed decisions in purchasing a new camera and helping make full use of the new mac. I enjoy the help of the forums but I don't want to waste anyone's time when I can just 'RTFM' in a manner of speaking.
I have already bribed her to buy the mac, however I ask these questions due to the fact the camera is a surprise for her b-day so I don't want to just start asking her questions and give it away. I want to make sure I get the right camera the first time around.
Thanks for the help!

A raw file in essence saves the information differently, so you can make a photo mistake (underexpose for example) and correct it within reason on your computer. with other formats ie. jpg you get what you get, the information is embedded into your file and you really can't change anything. so if you have a really red photo, take it out in raw, but in jpg you can take it out but then it will replace with green. hard to explain the numbers are set in jpg, not so in raw. Or the underexposed example, in raw you play with the numbers and it can still come out good, in jpg format you do the same thing and the photo would lose crispness, lose saturation, and color, and would probably come out looking washed out.
There are standards starting in the RAW arena DNG and most programs do support it. and it is the way to go if you are considering high end photography, amatuer or not.
my latest complaint is that i was trying to utilize my TIFF files made from a raw format for some of these quickie projects. I'm having a bit of an output problem here with iphoto. But once solved will probably be fine. but no matter i would want HIGH input, so there is plenty of wiggle room for whatever output.
I have a D70 nikon... takes only 6.1 mp shots.. works great for my usage for now. cost is in the $1500 range. Best advice is pick a brand and stick with it. because once you start buying the lens's to go with the camera they don't alway work on other new digital bases from different brands. anything SLR is going to give you the same feel shooting from an old film based SLR. Some lens's will swap out. My old flashes from my older cameras work fine in digital.
No matter what you get, shooting in raw format takes up space. minimum 20mb per photo. retouch resize, and resave and you can get larger. And although the iphoto 6 does seem to be able to handle the large requirements, it seems they can't handle the quality that goes with it on the output end. Knowing what your output is going to be is important when managing your files (my newest lesson learned).

Question regarding transferring files to my other computer - ???

Hi, I have a question ... Here's the background ~ I have two iPods (iPod touch and iPod nano, older model) and want to be able to sync them with the laptop my brother gave me. It's a Dell, running Windows Vista - Business version (??)... I'm in the process of moving all my files over, or rather, I would like to move all my files over from my eMac (Mac OSX 10.4.11) to the Dell and then replace my eMac with a newer desktop computer because the eMac has been running poorly for some time now. My other files moved over fine but the stuff I've downloaded from the iTunes store doesn't move properly, much of it says it can't be moved from the eMac. Some of it came over... the newer shows, for example (Fringe, and Dr. Horrible) but all the shows I've downloaded for my kids won't move over. It's not an issue of hard drive space, as I have plenty. And I've checked authorization ~ both computers are authorized, so I should be able to move it right?? But the iPods refuse to sync with the Dell.
What's going on? I feel like an idiot (and probably am :: lol :: )
Thanks in advance =^_^=

Am I able to just "plug and play" or do I need to download the software that came with my HD to my computer first?
You can use the hard drive as is; the software is intended for Windows and/or is intended for a specific purpose beyond simply storing data on the drive, such as automated backups.
Secondly, how do I transfer my iTunes and iPhoto files over to the HD and retain my playlists and photo albums?
Create a new Finder window, click on the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon, and then drag the items Music/iTunes/ and Pictures/iPhoto Library/ to the drive. You may want to erase the drive in the Disk Utility, which is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, first.

what we want like when user click on zoom we can generate a dynamic image of that region based on a single source of image and can provide zooming functionality.
more over company requirements is to go for only open source solution [:-)]
we tried some open source solutions but due to the in house E-Commerce framework constraints we not able to integrate them,.
can any one point me to any open source java based library so that we can use that to provide solution or do we need some other approach.
Here is a link for a image zooming example hough this is highly professional solution using Adobe Scene7 but we want to implement something like in image zooming

General questions regarding capturing electronic signatures

Hi Guys,
Have some questions....
Are electronic signatures supported in BPM and if yes any idea what types of signature? what standards are used, whether they are legally accepted and whether this is part of the package or a separate application.
can the processes support multiple signatures at multiple stages, signifying different levels of approval?
Could you provide some idea on how electronic signatures are recorded and retained and how the process or document remains fixed once signed?
Thanks in advace.

this is more application related. nothing to do with BPM.

Silly question regarding exporting files

If you export as png 8, 24, 32, whatever, does the original
FW file remain the same? In other words, when you export as gif or
jpeg you literally create a new file. When exporting as png you
don't? How then to differentiate between, say, a png 32 and the
original FW file?

As long as you do not use the same file name in your export,
your
original FW png file will not be harmed.

BPC 7.5 NW SP5 - Question regarding Transformation file for exporting data

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to export data from a BPC application to App.server/UJFS. There are currently 13 dimensions in the application. The user requires the output file to contain only three dimensions followed by the amount(signdata), namely
| COSTCENTER | ACCOUNT | TIME | AMOUNT |.
How do i handle the same in transformation file?
Currently i am using the following transformation file but i am having issues validating it.
*OPTIONS
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = YES
OUTPUTHEADER=*COSTCENTER,ACCOUNT,TIME, PERIODIC
DELIMITER = ,
AMOUNTDECIMALPOINT = .
SKIP = 0
SKIPIF =
VALIDATERECORDS=NO
CREDITPOSITIVE=YES
MAXREJECTCOUNT=
ROUNDAMOUNT=
*MAPPING
COSTCENTER=*COL(2)
ACCOUNT=*COL(4)
TIME=*COL(13)
AMOUNT=*COL(14)
I tried to remove the OUTPUTHEADER from *options and tried but it still gives the same issue.
Please help me as to how i can handle this scenario.
Thanks,
Victor

The 'Export' data package which comes as part of a support pack enhancement does not support using Transformation/Conversion files to modify data prior to transport.
Please refer to section 3 (Limitations) in the below how to guide.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/bpx/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0427318-5ffb-2b10-9cac-96ec44c73c11?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
Hence your only option is to manually massage data in the spreadsheet after exporting.

General question regarding NWDI!

Hi experts,
I'm using NWDI since two months as a developer and as a post-installer.
According to your experiences, I would like to know when should we have to use NWDI ? With how many developers ? In which condition do we need NWDI ?
Thanks for your answers.
Regards

Hello Berthe,
You would use NWDI if you have the following conditions.
1. You need to customize some sap delivered functions like ESS/MSS. NWDI becomes your build and transport environment in this case.
2. The number of developers can range from 2 to n.
3. You need to be able to have versioning and release cycles of the product you are developing
Hope that helps
