Help need reg requested start

Hi all,
i have a scenario like when a event raised then based on date entered by user  after  that date only i need to start processing that task  and it can be  1 month ,so requested start can be set like 1 month etc,.
my doubt is can i go for workflow using  requested start  or it will be performance issue for time gap in months?
Please suggest,
Regards,
Rajkumar

Yes, you can use the date entered by the user as the requested start date. As far as performance goes, it will not really effect performance since no task or background job is being executed until after the deadline is reached. However, I would suggest having a maximum number of days the user can enter. You don't want a WF sitting in a waiting status for too long. My personal rule of thumb is that a WF should be started and completed within 30 days. Any (single) business process that takes longer than that to complete perhaps need to be redesigned.

  • Help Needed for T42 Start-up Problem

    Urgent help need!!!
    I have a ThinkPad T42 with Windows XP installed.  It works perfectly for a while without ever have any problem or error message.  Then suddenly it won’t work anymore.  The symptom is following:
    After power on the laptop the Microsoft window would show up and it prompt me for window logon password.  After I type in the password it then shows “window is loading your personal setting”.  After a long while nothing would show up on the screen other than the background of the normal screen.  There is no window bar at the bottom or any icon on the screen.  If I start in safe mode then everything would show up.  I don’t know what is going on.
    This happened two months ago and I ended up restoring a backup image to get it work again.  It happens again today with the same symptom.  I am really tired of having to restore image backup every 2 months. 
    I would really appreciate it if any of your experts can offer me some insight into this problem.  I am desperate in need of help.
    Thanks very much!

    wangy26, welcome to the forum,
    Have a look at this thread to see if my post there helps. The problem seems to mostly occur at the start of a month, why I don't know. Unfortunately the member didin't report back whether or not this was a viable solution for them.

  • Help Needed to Request a Feature

    Hello folks!
    There is a feature I have been awaiting paitently for years,
    ever since Conditional Build Tags came on the scene in RoboHelp.
    Adobe has gotten closer than any of its predecessors at providing
    this functionality, but just this week, I finally heard verbal
    confirmation from Adobe that it doesn't yet do what I need it to
    do.
    I am appealing to you for help. It seems that the only thing
    that will motivate Adobe to provide this (or any) functionality is
    a preponderance of user requests on their Feature Request form. I
    have already filled this out more than once over the years, to no
    avail.
    I have detailed below, in 1989 characters, just what I want
    and why I want it. If you are moved to also request this
    functionality, please go to
    www.adobe.com/go/wish
    select Feature Request, and if you want, simply copy and
    paste my text below into the form. There is a 2000-character limit,
    so I have tweaked the wording to make it all fit.
    I have been drooling over this functionality for literally
    YEARS, because I must maintain 5 separate projects in order to
    provide my programmers with all of the different outputs (in
    essence, different languages) that we need.
    Thanks a bundle!
    Marjorie
    *******Enhancement / FMR*********
    Brief title for your desired feature:
    Apply Conditional Build Tags (CBTs) to Topic Titles Appearing
    in Search Results
    How would you like the feature to work?
    Concise problem statement:
    On all outputs, the Search Results list is being populated
    without my CBTs being applied.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Create English & French CBTs.
    2. Apply English & French CBTs to topic content,
    including to the Topic Title, when displayed in the Design Editor
    pane. (This must be done in the Design Editor pane, because CBTs
    are not accepted by RH7 in the Topic Properties in the Topic Title
    field.)
    3. Create 2 new duplicate layouts, which use the English
    & French CBTs.
    4. Generate outputs for both English & French (WebHelp,
    FlashHelp, HTMLHelp--it does not matter which one).
    5. View the French output & go to the Search tab.
    Results:
    6. Search for a French topic title. The Help file does indeed
    find the appropriate topic. However, the Search Results list
    displays the ENGLISH topic title. If I display the associated topic
    in the right-hand pane, I do see the French topic title there, as
    well as the French content.
    Desired results:
    7. The Search Results list should display the FRENCH topic
    title in the left-hand pane.
    Why is this feature important to you?
    No matter which language, our application is going to call
    the same specific URL to fulfill a Help request. I use the Map ID
    number in the Topic ID field. When I generate WebHelp output, each
    topic will have a "Name.htm" which appears as "MapIDNumber.htm".
    For instance, "388.htm" is the filename on WebHelp output for the
    topic whose Topic Title is "View" in English & "Afficher" in
    French.
    This feature is important because RH7 will not allow the same
    Map ID number or the same Topic ID to be used on more than one
    source topic. I need to be able to apply the same Topic ID to
    whatever language condition I want, and therefore, my one source
    topic must contain all languages with their CBTs applied.

    Hello, and thank you all so much for your interest in my
    quest!
    Since I have much to address, I will quote each person and
    then reply to their comments. (Ooops! I have so much to say, I must
    address each of your posts separately.)

    I can see the problem this gives you but I am not sure it is
    a bug.
    Peter,
    It's a bug in the sense that the output is not fully in
    French, in every way possible.

    There is a difference between the Topic Title, as in the
    Topic Properties and the Topic Heading, as at the top of your
    topic.
    Yes, you are right. In the Design Editor, I am editing the
    topic title where the Heading style is applied. I suppose the
    correct term for this item is indeed "Topic Heading."

    It sounds like your layout is to have English content and
    French content in the same topic and exclude whatever you need to
    for a particular output.
    In actuality, I use the Advanced button on the Layout to
    Define my CBT Expression. I choose to INCLUDE my desired CBT by
    Adding the Tag for a particular output.
    For English, I would choose to INCLUDE my English CBT; for
    French, I would choose to INCLUDE my French CBT.
    In my world, there are multiple English names for the very
    same widget. Therefore, I use multiple English conditions to
    deterime which name should appear for a particular widget. I mark
    the rest of the text with ALL of my English conditions, and mark
    the French text with my French conditions. (I MUST mark the English
    as English, simply because my source topic also contains French
    text. This is the only way to leave the English out of the French
    outputs.)
    Now, imagine that I want to output just one of my English
    conditions. If I were to use Exclude for all of the other English
    conditions, then the very text that is marked for all of my English
    condtions would never make it into my output.
    I have tested this, and found that if I simply include only
    the desired CBT, it works beautifully. I don't get the French, and
    I do get all of the appropriate text for my indicated English
    condition.

    I don't do any foreign language work but my understanding is

    topic.
    That's what Adobe tried to tell me to do. I explained to them
    the issue with the same URL being used in all of my conditional
    outputs.
    For instance, I want Help to come up and display the exact
    topic whose name in English is "View." This topic has been assigned
    a Map ID of 388. I have also edited the Topic ID to use the number
    388. When I generate WebHelp output, you see this topic generated
    as "388.htm."
    Now, in my French output, this topic would have a different
    title appearing--in French, it would be called "Afficher." My
    programmers have our application programmed to call "388.htm,"
    regardless of what language is running.
    RH source topics cannot use the same topic ID on more than
    one topic. Because of this RH limitation, I must put the source
    text for both languages inside only one source topic: the topic
    whose Topic ID is 388.
    quote:
    Originally posted by:
    Peter Grainge
    If a topic is in, then you will get whatever is in the Topic
    Title.
    I told the Adobe employee who called me that they need to
    code RH so it looks for the Topic Heading material for the text
    they use to populate their Search Results list. He sounded
    intrigued by my idea, and said he would tell their engineers about
    it.
    The only other alternative I can imagine at this point is to
    allow CBTs to be applied to the Topic Title text. I have even
    attempted to manually apply this in the HTML Editor pane. The
    trouble is, when I switch away to the Design Editor pane and then
    back to the HTML Editor pane, all of the CBTs that I manually
    applied have been lost--and it doesn't matter if I Saved first!
    They are simply discarded by RH.

    This is exactly the sort of programming issue they earn the
    big bucks to solve--establishing workarounds for the technologies
    at work.
    I have to believe it's solvable, because, as I have told the
    Adobe folks, their competitor MadCap had the exact same issue with
    one of their early versions, and they even told me: "The Search
    Results list is being populated before the conditions are being
    applied." I called them on it, they worked to solve it, and they
    ultimately did solve it in Flare by reworking one of their *.DLL
    files.
    Maybe I'm comparing apples to oranges, but I still have faith
    that this can be solved. My only problem is how long it is taking
    to get this issue onto their radar. I have been requesting this
    functionality for over 1.5 years!

    Maybe some folks who work in multiple languages could chip in
    and advise how they work.
    I am guessing that where Map IDs are used for the call, they
    maintain two projects so that the "same" topic can have the same
    ID.
    I already do this in RH X5. I maintain five separate
    projects, which contain about a dozen different conditions.
    However, I have never yet used CBT functionality on the text
    in my 5 projects, because my source remains in Word to this day,
    and only RH HTML even comes close to giving me the conditional
    output I require. In today's Help files, our users must read and
    find the text that applies to their condition, because they are
    often presented with text like so:
    Condition A
    * If you are Condition A, then the software does this...
    Condition B
    * If you are Condition B, then the software does this...
    Condition C
    * If you are Condition C, then the software does this...
    Condition D
    * If you are Condition D, then the software does this...
    Condition E
    * If you are Condition E, then the software does this...
    I was actually asked to split out our conditions in this
    manner by managers at my company.
    Now, if I were a user, I would HATE having to read
    documentation like this.
    We actually split out our conditions in this way in 2002!,
    anticipating that eHelp or (later) Macromedia or (now) Adobe would
    provide the CBT functionality so I could hide all of the other
    conditions, and give my users a Help file customized specifically
    for their business line. It's now 6 years and counting...
    Since I will have some major prep work to do in order to
    import my text with minimum pain into RH 7 HTML, I just won't do it
    until or unless I can prove that I will be able to output all of my
    conditions flawlessly. It doesn't pay my company to do the import
    and cleanup if we can't produce the product we are required to give
    our users.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    From what you've posted, it sounds as if you've skipped one critical step. Before initiating the send on the other device, you must instruct the receiving BB to accept the file send request. See this KB:
    KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
    While the KB talks about transferring between two BB's, the process is the same if the sending device is something else. You must, on the receiving BB, execute the "Receive Using BT" command before you start the send process on the sending device.
    Hope that helps!

  • Help Needed with getting Started With Office 365 Development C# Rest API

    We have a O365 Tenant Setup with a Federated Active Directory Setip we want to be able to right code that will connect to our tenant and perform basic CRUD operations against it (ex. Creating mail boxes)
    The problem is we want this to be contained in a CLR trigger In SQL so say if a new user is added to our user table then we would create a new AD account for that user and also create a mailbox.
    But I cannot find and example on how to connect to Office 365 using the REST API (Not the SDK because you can not add the connected service to a class library) and before the required actions that we need to do. All the example I have found are with the
    SDK API and/or require window 8 and that is also not an option.
    Please help I do not know where to start, and I would love to see some examples done in c# and not using the SDK.
    Thanks,
    Andrew Day

    Hi,
    >> Instead of SharePoint URLs I would use the O365 API URL?
    Yes, in my sample code, I was accessing the File resource by using the O365 File API. In your case, you need to acquire the token to access the Mail resource and use O365 Mail API.
    By the way, I think the article
    Understand Office 365 app authentication concepts will help you to understand the authentication process in Office 365 Development.
    >> Why can I not use the SDK API with a class Library?
    Actually, you are able to reference the Office 365 .NET SDK in the class Library. But the class library project type was not supported by Visual Studio Office 365 Development Tool. As a workaround,
    you can reference the SDK manually in your project.
    Since your original question is about “getting started with Office 365 Development C# Rest API”, if you have more questions about the Office 365 SDK, I will suggest you posting a new thread
    to discuss the Office 365 SDK. It will involve more other community members to share their ideas and experience on a specific a question and for others who had a similar question could also find the valuable information quickly.

  • Help needed to get started

    Hi I am very new to Solaris and had not even seen what a UNIX screen looks before. The sys admin person left so it is all upto me to take care of the systems. That is a good thing, I'll learn, but I need some help. I have a brand new Sun V880 box sitting in the box. I have to install Solaris 10 & then Oracle 10g on it.
    As I mentioned, I am very new to the world of Solaris. I don't even know how and where to get Solaris installable CD and whether I need license. Also I know that Solaris installation is not like XP that I just run setup.exe.
    Could someone please guide me as where and how do I get started. I don't want anyone to do my work, but I need guidance. I know about Oracle 10g CD's but could someone tell me how do I begin with Solaris 10.
    The CD
    license
    parmaeters
    kernal settings
    etc.
    Any help and guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    hello,
    you can download the solaris 10 install iso's directly from sun (look under products). as far as the licensing goes, read the aup. i strongly suggest getting a book on unix basics, unix security, and another on administration. unix can be very complicated to learn how to setup and secure properly. i dont want to discourage you, but you are going to need to spend a fair amount of time on this one (learning what everything is, device names, services, package system, etc).
    good luck

    String tempQuery ="Select * from GSIS_EMP_MASTER where EMP_ID = "+ request.getParameter("id");if it is string then include double quotes for that getParameter()
    "Select * from GSIS_EMP_MASTER where EMP_ID = '"+ request.getParameter("id")+"'";observe it carefully i've enclosed the getParameter() with single quotes. you can use double quotes also but don't forget to use \" to avoid escape sequenses

  • Help with Reg Expression Start method

    Hi there,
    I've been looking through some examples of regular expressions and I've became totally unglued at what the start method of the Matcher class returns.
    Here's the example...
    Passing in "\d*" ab34ef to the following code
    import java.util.regex.*;
    public class Class1
      public static void main(String []args)
        Pattern p= Pattern.compile(args[0]);
        Matcher m=p.matcher(args[1]);
        boolean b=false;
        while (b=m.find())
          int x=m.start();
          String y=m.group();
          System.out.print(x + y);
    }Gives the output
    01234456
    I understand eveything apart from the 6 character. How can m.start()return 0 (at the start) and 6 at the end when the string being searched is 6 characters long.
    My head hurts.

    The fact that a string is an array of characters under the hood is just an implementation detail, and it's getting in your way. What start() returns is the beginning position of a substring which may have a length of zero.
    The first time through the loop, the regex matches a zero-length substring at the beginning of the target string. That's the position preceding the first character, index 0. Then, because the match didn't consume any characters, the Matcher moves ahead one position before trying again. Another zero-length match, another bump-along, and now it's at index 2. This time, the regex can actually match some characters. It matches the substring "34", and that brings us to the part that's really confusing. Because the previous match consumed some characters, the Matcher doesn't do a bump-along before attempting the next match. It matches a zero-length substring at index 4, right where the previous match ended. Then it bumps along to index five and does another zero-length match.
    Now, you and I know that the character at index 5 is the last one in a string whose length is 6, so there's no reason to look for any more matches at this point. And if the regex were required to match at least one character, the Matcher wouldn't bother trying again. But in this case a zero-length match is considered valid, and there's one more position where that's possible. It does one last bump-along and matches nothing once more.
