Help Needed for iPod Version 2.1

I have an old iPod version 2.1 and I'm trying to make it work with a new computer. I downloaded both the iPod software updater and iTunes 5. When I open my iTunes, instead of the iPod icon on the left with my name, it reads "Podcast." This is not the usual podcast file on the left toolbar, as that exists as well. As the iPod goes to sync, it shows all the songs I had on the old iPod in the "podcast" file (with the iPod icon next to it) and no files in my library. What have I done wrong? Is there any way to alleviate this problem? Any help would be appreciated?

When I tried to download new songs, they download into the correct library file, but don't appear in the "podcast" file. I tried renaming the "podcast" file with my name (as it was before) but it defaults to "podcast" when I close and reopen my iTunes.

Help needed for writing query

help needed for writing query
i have the following tables(with data) as mentioned below
FK*-foregin key (SUBJECTS)
FK**-foregin key (COMBINATION)
1)SUBJECTS(table name)
SUB_ID(NUMBER) SUB_CODE(VARCHAR2) SUB_NAME (VARCHAR2)
2           02           Computer Science
3           03           Physics

384           S2      4           2           5           3
---------I actually designed the ABOVE table also like this
3) a)COMBINATION
COMB_ID(NUMBER) COMB_NAME(VARCHAR2)
383           S1
384           S2
b)COMBINATION_DET

8               384          3
Business rule: a combination consists of a maximum of 4 subjects (must contain)
and the user is less relevant to a COMB_NAME(name of combinations) but user need
the subjects contained in combinations
i need the following output
COMB_ID COMB_NAME SUBJECT1 SUBJECT2      SUBJECT3      SUBJECT4
383     S1     Biology Chemistry      Computer Science Physics
384     S2     Chemistry Computer Science Mathematics Physics
or even this is enough(what i actually needed)
COMB_ID     subjects
383           Biology,Chemistry,Computer Science,Physics
384           Chemistry,Computer Science,Mathematics,Physics
you can use any of the COMBINATION table(either (2) or (3))
and i want to know
1)which design is good in this case
(i think SUB_ID1,SUB_ID2,SUB_ID3,SUB_ID4 is not a
good method to link with same table but if 4 subjects only(and must) comes
detail table is not neccessary )
now i am achieving the result by program-coding in C# after getting the rows from oracle
i am using oracle 9i (also ODP.NET)
i want to know how can i get the result in the stored procedure itsef.
2)how it could be designed in any other way.
any help/suggestion is welcome
thanks for your time --Pradeesh

Well I forgot the table-alias, here now with:
SELECT C.COMB_ID
, C.COMB_NAME
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID1) AS SUBJECT_NAME1
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID2) AS SUBJECT_NAME2
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID3) AS SUBJECT_NAME3
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID4) AS SUBJECT_NAME4
FROM COMBINATION C;
As you need exactly 4 subjects, the columns-solution is just fine I would say.

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

Pagination query help needed for large table - force a different index

I'm using a slight modification of the pagination query from over at Ask Tom's: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/07-jan/o17asktom.html]
Mine looks like this when fetching the first 100 rows of all members with last name Smith, ordered by join date:
SELECT members.*
FROM members,
    SELECT RID, rownum rnum
    FROM
        SELECT rowid as RID
        FROM members
        WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
        ORDER BY joindate
    WHERE rownum <= 100
WHERE rnum >= 1
         and RID = members.rowidThe difference between this and the one at Ask Tom's is that my innermost query just returns the ROWID. Then in the outermost query we join the ROWIDs returned to the members table, after we have pruned the ROWIDs down to only the chunk of 100 we want. This makes it MUCH faster (verifiably) on our large tables, as it is able to use the index on the innermost query (well... read on).
The problem I have is this:
SELECT rowid as RID
FROM members
WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
ORDER BY joindateThis will use the index for the predicate column (last_name) instead of the unique index I have defined for the joindate column (joindate, sequence). (Verifiable with explain plan). It is much slower this way on a large table. So I can hint it using either of the following methods:
SELECT /*+ index(members, joindate_idx) */ rowid as RID
FROM members
WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
ORDER BY joindate
SELECT /*+ first_rows(100) */ rowid as RID
FROM members
WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
ORDER BY joindateEither way, it now uses the index of the ORDER BY column (joindate_idx), so now it is much faster as it does not have to do a sort (remember, VERY large table, millions of records). So that seems good. But now, on my outermost query, I join the rowid with the meaningful columns of data from the members table, as commented below:
SELECT members.*      -- Select all data from members table
FROM members,           -- members table added to FROM clause
    SELECT RID, rownum rnum
    FROM
        SELECT /*+ index(members, joindate_idx) */ rowid as RID   -- Hint is ignored now that I am joining in the outer query
        FROM members
        WHERE last_name = 'Smith'
        ORDER BY joindate
    WHERE rownum <= 100
WHERE rnum >= 1
        and RID = members.rowid           -- Merge the members table on the rowid we pulled from the inner queriesOnce I do this join, it goes back to using the predicate index (last_name) and has to perform the sort once it finds all matching values (which can be a lot in this table, there is high cardinality on some columns).
So my question is, in the full query above, is there any way I can get it to use the ORDER BY column for indexing to prevent it from having to do a sort? The join is what causes it to revert back to using the predicate index, even with hints. Remove the join and just return the ROWIDs for those 100 records and it flies, even on 10 million records.
It'd be great if there was some generic hint that could accomplish this, such that if we change the table/columns/indexes, we don't need to change the hint (the FIRST_ROWS hint is a good example of this, while the INDEX hint is the opposite), but any help would be appreciated. I can provide explain plans for any of the above if needed.
Thanks!

Lakmal (and OP),
Not sure what advantage you are trying to show here. But considering that we are talking about pagination query here and order of records is important, your 2 queries will not always generate output in same order. Here is the test case:

You can not rely on optimizer choosing NESTED LOOP join method and, as above example shows, when optimizer chooses HASH JOIN, oracle is free to return rows in no particular order.
The query that does not involve join always returns rows in the desired order. Adding an ORDER BY does add a step in the plan for the query using join but does not affect the other query.

Ideas or help needed for a simple, robust pluggable framework

Hi all,
Having written a fairly decent plugin engine, similar in concept to the Eclipse plugin engine, although at a more generic scale, I am looking for any possible ideas for a Java Swing framework that is built around the engine, with the concept of using a framework that is built on mostly plugins. My engine handles, or will soon handle, a number of features to make the engine robust enough, yet still easy enough, to use for just about any purpose.
The engine is pretty simple, although with a bit more work I feel will be overall a pretty robust and powerful plugin engine. Each plugin is made up of one or more "services". A plugin is a .jar file that contains a plugin-conf.xml config file, the classes that implement the Service interface, and any supporting classes. The "plugin" is really the package of one or more services and supporting classes. The engine will handle the ability to work with expanded dir structures as well, so that the build process doesn't have to create .jar files on every build of a plugin. The engine has built in support to load, unload and reload a plugin at runtime. This helps during development by allowing auto-reload of a plugin service without having to restart the app. The engine has the ability to "watch" URLs in a separate thread (still working on this), and at given intervals if a change occurs to any plugin, that plugin is reloaded. This is configurable on a per plugin basis in the config file.
Every plugin .jar file gets its own classloader instance. Because of the nature of a framework that may rely heavily on plugins, it will be very common to have plugin dependencies, where a plugin service may rely on one or more other plugin services. The dependencies are configured in the plugin-conf.xml file, and the engine resolves these when the plugin is loaded, automatically. Once all plugins have been loaded, an "init" call is made that then goes and resolves all plugin service dependencies, setting up the behind the scenes work to make sure any service can use any other service it defines to depend on. Another area is plugin versions. There will no doubt be a time when some sort of application may have legacy plugins, but also have newer plugins. For example, an application built on a "core" set of plugins, may eventually update the core plugins with newer versions. The engine allows the "old" plugins to exist and work while new versions of the same plugins may be loaded and working at the same time. This allows older plugins that depend on the old set of core plugins to work, while newer plugins that depend on the new core plugins may work also. Any plugin may depend on one or more services specified by specific versions, or a range of versions.
Plugin services can define to be created when first loaded, or lazy instantiated. Ideally, an application would opt for lazy instantiation until a plugin is needed. For example, a number of plugins may need to add menu items or buttons that would trigger its service. The plugin does not actually need to be created until the menu or button is clicked on. There is one BIG problem with how this engine works though. Unlike the Eclipse (and other) engines where the config file defines the menu item(s), buttons, etc in an xml sort of language, this engine is built for generic use, and therefore is not specific to menu items or buttons triggering a service instantiation. Therefore, a little "hack" is required. A specific plugin that is created when first loaded will be required to set up all the menu items for specific plugins, then handle the actionPerformed() call to instruct the engine to create the service. The next step would be for the plugin service to add its own handler to the specific menu item it depends on, and remove the "old" handler the startup plugin added to it to handle the initial click. Another thought just struck me though. Because the engine must use an XML parser to load every plugin-conf.xml file, it might be possible to "extend" the parsing routine, where by an extending class could be added to the engine to parse plugin-conf.xml files. First the plugin engines own routine would parse it. Then, the extending class could parse for any extra plugin-conf.xml info, such as menu item settings, and directly set up the menu items and handlers in this manner. I will probably include this ability directly in the engine soon anyway, so that nobody else has to do this, but this is one area I would appreciate some feedback on.
Anyway, so that is the jist of the engine. There is more to it under the hood, but that sums up a good part of it. Now, the pluggable framework, much like what the "shell" of eclipse, forte and so forth offer, is built around my engine to make it very easy to build Swing applications with a pluggable framework underneath. The idea is to package up a startup main class that is configurable, a number of useful plugins that other plugins could depend on, such as an Outlook layout, menuing, toolbars, drag/drop, history, undo/redo, macro record, open/save/search/find/replace dialogs, and so forth. This isn't just for an IDE though. The developer using the framework could deploy the basic app with the plugins of his/her choice, and add to it with his/her own plugins.
Soooo, after this long post, what I am getting at is if anyone would be interested in helping out with ideas, feedback, testing, core framework plugins, and so forth. At this time I am keeping the code closed, but will probably public domain it, open source it, or whatever. The finished framework should make it easy for anyone to quickly build useable applications, and if all goes well, I'd like to set up a site with a location for 3rd party plugins to be uploaded, for download, comments, etc. Being a web developer, I myself will probably work on some plugins for Web Services, web stress testing, and so forth. I have lots of ideas for useable plugins.
On that note, one application I am personally working on for my own use, is a simple yet possibly robust internet suite of apps. I want to incorporate FTP, Email, NewsGroup, and IRC/AOL IM/Yahoo IM/MSN IM/ICQ chat into a single app. Every aspect of it would be plugins. Frankly, I hate outlook, Eudora is alright, but I want to do some things with the email app. I also want a single IM/Chat app that can talk with all protocols (not an easy task, take a look at GAIM). Newsgroups are handy to work with for developers and others of interest, as is FTP. But even more so, being able to have all in one big application framework that allows them to share data between each other, work with one another, and so forth is appealing to me, and being written in Java it could potentially work on many platforms, giving some platforms a possible nice set of internet apps to use. Being able to send an email to a mailing list AND have it posted to specific newsgroups at the same time without having to copy/paste, open up separate applications and so forth has appeal. Directly emailing from any chat or newsgroup link without another app starting up is a little faster as well. Those are just "small" things that could prove to be very kewl in a complete internet app. Adding a web browser, well, I don't think I want to go that route. But if there is already a decent Java built web browser, it shouldn't be too hard to add it as a plugin.
So, if anyone is interested, by all means, drop a post to this thread, let me know of interest, feedback, ideas, point out bad things, and so forth. I appreciate all forms of communication.
Thanks.

Yes I do. I am using it now with my work related project.
I am in fact reworking the engine a bit now. I want to incorporate the notion of services (like OSGi) where by a plugin can register services. These services are "global" in scope, meaning any plugin may request the use of a service. However, services, unlike plugins, are not guaranteed to be available. Therefore, plugins using services must be coded to properly handle this possibility. As an example, imagine an email application using my engine. One plugin may provide the email gateway, including the javamail .jar library and provide the email service. Other plugins, such as the one that provides the functionality for the SEND button, would "use" this service. At runtime, when the send button was pressed it would ask the engine for the email service. If available, off goes the email. If not, it could pop up a dialog indicating some sort of message that the email service is not available.
I am at the VERY beginning stages in this direction so I'd love to have ideas, thoughts, suggestions as to how this might be implemented. I do believe though that it will provide for a more powerful engine. The nice thing is, while the engine will support static runtime plugins, it will also support dynamic services that can come and go during the runtime. The key is that plugins using services do not maintain references to them, but instead query the engine each time a plugin needs to use a service.
Static plugins are those that are guaranteed to be available or if not, any dependent plugin is not allowed to load. That is, if A depends on B and B is not able to be loaded, A is unloaded as well as it can't perform its job without B; it depends on B in some manner to complete its function. Imagine a plugin adding an option panel to the Preferences page only that the Preferences plugin is not loaded. It just can't work. However, with some work, there could be variations on this. That is, a plugin may provide a menu item as well as a preferences page. If the preference plugin is not available, then the plugin may simply still work via the menu item, but have no preferences panel available. This should be configurable via the plugin-conf.xml config file. However, as I have it now, using extension points and extensions like Eclipse does, it is also possible that if the Preferences plugin isn't loaded, it wont look for ANY extensions extending its extensino point, and therefore the plugins could all still run but there would simply be no preferences page. So, I am not entirely sure yet which way is best for this to work.
My engine, as it stands now, allows for separate classloader plugin loading, it automatically resolves all dependencies by creating the plugin registry each time the engine is started up. To speed up plugin loading, it maintains a plugins.xml file in the root dir that keeps track of each plugin that was loaded and its last timestamp. Plugins can be open directory files or jarred up into .PAR files (think .WAR or .EAR files). The engine can find .par or open-dir plugins in multiple locations (including URL locations for direct .par files). When it finds a .par file, it first decompresses the .par file to a plugin work directory. Every plugin must have a plugin-conf.xml in its root dir, and either a /classes dir where compiled classes are, or a .jar file in the root path of the plugin, where the /classes dir superscedes the .jar file. Alternatively, anything in a /lib dir is automatically picked up as part of the plugin classpath. So a plugin that wraps the xerces.jar file can simply place the xerces.jar in the /lib dir and automatically present the xerces library to all dependent plugins (which can import the xerces classes but not need to distribute the xerces.jar file if a plugin they depend on has it in its /lib dir). The "parent lookup" process goes only one parent level deep. That is, if plugin A depends on a class in a /lib/*.jar file in plugin B, then the engine will resolve the class (through delegation) of plugin B. But if A depends on B, B depends on C where plugin C's /lib/*.jar file contains a class A is looking to use, this will not work and A will throw a ClassNotFoundException. In other words, the parent lookup only goes as far as the classpath of all dependent plugins, not up the chain of all dependent plugins. Eclipse allows each plugin to "export" various classes, or packages, or entire .jar files and the lookup can go all the way up the chain if need be. I haven't yet found a big reason for supporting this, so I am not too concerned with that at this point. The engine does support reloadable plugins although I have not yet implemented it. Because each plugin information object is stored in a Map keyed on the plugins GUID (found in the plugin-conf.xml file), it is easy enough to load a new plugin (since they get their own classloader) and replace the object at the GUID key and now have a reloaded plugin. The harder part is properly notifying all dependent plugins of the reload and what to do with them. Therefore I have not quite yet implemented this feature although the first step can easily be done, so long as nobody minds the "remnants" of older plugins laying around and possibly not being garbage collected.
All of this works now, and I am using it. I do NOT have a generic UI framework just yet. I am working on that now. Eclipse has a very nice feature in that every plugin.xml file builds up the UI without any plugin code ever being created or ran. I am working on something like that now, although I am focussed more on the aspect of the engine at this point.
Two things keep me going. First, the shear fun of working on this and seeing it succeed, even if a little bit. Second, while I love the idea of Eclipse, OSGi and other engines, so far I have yet to find one that is very easy to write plugins for, is very small, and is "generic" enough for any use. Some may argue JBoss core, at 29K can do this. I don't know if it can. It is built around JMX and I don't know that I agree JMX is the "ultimate" core plugin engine for all types of apps. Not that mine is either, but I'd like to see what I am working on become that if possible. Currently, with an xml parser (www.xmlpull.org) added as part of the code, my engine is about 40K with debug info, maybe about 28K without. I expect it to grow a bit more with services, reloadable/unloadable code, and some other stuff. However, I am thinking it will still be around 50K in size and in my opinion, with an xml read/write parser (very fast one at that), extension/extensino points, services, dependencies, multiple versions of plugins (soon), load/unload/reload capabilities, .par management (unjar into work dir, download .par files from urls, etc) and open directory capabilities, inidividual classloaders, automatic dependency resolution, dynamic dependency resolution and possibly even more, I think what my engine offers (and will offer) is pretty cool in my book.
None the less, there is always room for improvement. One of the things I pride myself on is using as little code and keeping the code neat and easily readable, not to mention as non-archaic as possible, makes for an easily maintainable project.
So, having said all that, YES, the engine can be used as is right now. It does not reload plugins, but you can dynamically load plugins, handle dependency resolution, have a very fast xml read/write parser at your disposal for any plugin, and for the most part easily write plugins. That is all possible now. I should put the engine I have now up on my generic-plugin-engine sourceforge project one of these days, perhaps soon I will do that! While I have no problem handing out the code, I am currently the only committer and I don't have it loaded into CVS at this point. I would like to do so very soon.
So, if you are interested, by all means, let me know and I'll be happy to send you what I have, and love to have more help on the next version of this.

Help needed for using BASIC authentication through JDBCRealm

Help needed.
Hello,
I am doing a degree project, so far it works fine in my local machine, I need to try it on my virtual hosting (as it is a live server).
My project requires JDBCRealm, that is BASIC authentication loading access data from mysql database. Normally this setup can be done in Server.xml file, because my Tomcat hosting is a virtual one, I only have permission to access the web.xml file.
My question is: is it possible to get it done in an alternative way? In web.xml? Some properties file maybe?
Thank you very much.

You can set this up for your context using META-INF/context.xml instead of working with server.xml.
Make a directory called META-INF under your webapp ( it'll be at the same level as WEB-INF ). Under this, add a context.xml with all your context specific configuration including the realm. A sample is below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/myApp" reloadable="true">
    <Realm
        className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm"
        driverName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
        connectionURL="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433;DatabaseName=myDB;SelectMethod=Cursor;"
        connectionName="username" connectionPassword="password"
        digest="MD5" userTable="users" userNameCol="userid" userCredCol="userpassword"
        userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="rolename"
    />

Help Needed with Ipod classic set up...

i have recently been given an ipod classic 80gb and tried to install the new version of itunes...when i tried to load it up it says that the pc isnt suitable for that version.
i ended up installing itunes version 7.4, i had no problem with this until it said a upgrade was avaible for my ipod. i downloaded this and installed it and now when i connect my ipod it says THE IPOD "ST" CANNOT BE USED BECAUSE IT REQUIRES VERSION 7.6 OR HIGHER.
I know that 7.6 or higher wont work so how do i get back to what i was using before which was just version 7.4.
i have tried deleting it from the pc and installing it again but it still says ipod "st" cant be used...i dont even know what ipod 'ST' means.
any help is appriacted

I just purchased the 120GB iPod last week and I am experiencing the same issue. My iPod randomly skips songs while halfway through, and if I go back and play a song that had just skipped a moment before, then it plays through all the way. It is VERY frustrating and if Apple does not provide a fix and respond to this serious problem, then I'm going to return my iPod and get a Zune.
BTW I did not mean this post as a response to SaintMike.

Help needed for Adobe photoshop elements 3.0

My problem has been bothing me for a few years now, but because i was able to still use windows 2000 until a few weeks ago, it never occured to me to find a solution for this.
My problem is Adobe photoshop 3.0 in general.
After vista, and now windows 7, i have not been able to properly display my art program, and being that i draw... a lot... with a tablet, and not having it work on me, drives me mad.
i can open the program just fine, the problem occures when i try to draw with my tablet or even the normal mouse.
These are my problems, given to you in a screenie.

I've tried the update for this version on this site, but seconds after it starts installing the program shuts down saying I can't download it.
I've also tried for a few days now to find a solution to this but was never able to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and i would seriously love you x.x

You can't download the patch because it only works with version Elements 5. The patch updates Elements 5 to make it Vista compatible. Sadly, Adobe didn't provide patches for the older versions just the one that was current when Vista came out.
The phantom grid is one of the compatibility issues that some with Elements 4 and under have with Vista.
Just so you know you aren't the only person who's see that display issue. Here's a thread over on Elements Village with a screen capture of phantom grid by another user...

Things that might help...
If you haven't already, set up PSE 3 up to run in Windows XP service pack 2 compatibility mode.
Check and make sure your video card's driver is up to date.

Query help needed for querybuilder to use with lcm cli

Hi,
I had set up several queries to run with the lcm cli in order to back up personal folders, inboxes, etc. to lcmbiar files to use as backups. I have seen a few posts that are similar, but I have a specific question/concern.
I just recently had to reference one of these back ups only to find it was incomplete. Does the query used by the lcm cli also only pull the first 1000 rows? Is there a way to change this limit somwhere?
Also, since when importing this lcmbiar file for something 'generic' like 'all personal folders', pulls in WAY too much stuff, is there a better way to limit this? I am open to suggestions, but it would almost be better if I could create individual lcmbiar output files on a per user basis. This way, when/if I need to restore someone's personal folder contents, for example, I could find them by username and import just that lcmbiar file, as opposed to all 3000 of our users. I am not quite sure how to accomplish this...
Currently, with my limited windows scripting knowledge, I have set up a bat script to run each morning, that creates a 'runtime' properties file from a template, such that the lcmbiar file gets named uniquely for that day and its content. Then I call the lcm_cli using the proper command. The query within the properties file is currently very straightforward - select * from CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_ANCESTOR = 18.
To do what I want to do...
1) I'd first need a current list of usernames in a text file, that could be read (?) in and parsed to single out each user (remember we are talking about 3000) - not sure the best way to get this.
2) Then instead of just updating the the lcmbiar file name with a unique name as I do currently, I would also update the query (which would be different altogether): SELECT * from CI_INFOOBJECTS where SI_OWNER = '<username>' AND SI_ANCESTOR = 18.
In theory, that would grab everything owned by that user in their personal folder - right? and write it to its own lcmbiar file to a location I specify.
I just think chunking something like this is more effective and BO has no built in back up capability that already does this. We are on BO 4.0 SP7 right now, move to 4.1 SP4 over the summer.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Missy

Just wanted to pass along that SAP Support pointed me to KBA 1969259 which had some good example queries in it (they were helping me with a concern I had over the lcmbiar file output, not with query design). I was able to tweak one of the sample queries in this KBA to give me more of what I was after...
SELECT TOP 10000 static, relationships, SI_PARENT_FOLDER_CUID, SI_OWNER, SI_PATH FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS,CI_APPOBJECTS,CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE (DESCENDENTS ("si_name='Folder Hierarchy'","si_name='<username>'"))
This exports inboxes, personal folders, categories, and roles, which is more than I was after, but still necessary to back up.. so in a way, it is actually better because I have one lcmbiar file per user - contains all their 'personal' objects.
So between narrowing down my set of users to only those who actually have saved things to their personal folder and now having a query that actually returns what I expect it to return, along with the help below for a job to clean up these excessive amounts of promotion jobs I am now creating... I am all set!
Hopefully this can help someone else too!
Thanks,
missy

XMLAGG structure, performance help needed for odd nesting in schema

Hello,
I have to produce XML to look like:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<enterprise>
    <membership>
      <sourcedid>
        <id>PHYS_101_001_FA2007</id>
      </sourcedid>
    
    <member>
      <sourcedid>
        <id>D2LU0001</id>
      </sourcedid>
      <role roletype="Sample Role">
        <status>1</status>
      </role>
    </member>
    <member>
      <sourcedid>
        <id>D2LU0002</id>
      </sourcedid>
      <role roletype="Sample Role">
        <status>1</status>
      </role>
    </member>
</membership>
</enterprise>This would be straightforward if the schema allowed for a "<members>" tag under which to nest the <member> tags. But, it does not allow for that tag or any other than those listed above.
I have a query which does produce that output (except for the roletype attribute), but its performance is horrible; it takes about 40 minutes to return data:
SELECT
     XMLROOT(
         XMLELEMENT("enterprise",
           XMLAGG(
             XMLELEMENT("membership",
               XMLFOREST( XMLELEMENT("id",cx.mapped_course_id) as "sourcedid"
               (SELECT XMLAGG(
                 XMLELEMENT("member",
                   XMLFOREST(XMLELEMENT("id",spriden_id) AS "sourcedid",
                             XMLELEMENT("status",'1') AS "role"
                  FROM enrollments_fall_sfrstca efs
                     , spriden sp
                     , gzv_tuid t
                 WHERE sp.spriden_change_ind IS NULL
                   AND sp.spriden_pidm       = t.pidm
                   AND t.tuid                = efs.user_name
                   AND efs.mapped_course_id = cx.mapped_course_id
                   AND efs.term              = cx.semester
            , VERSION '1.0', STANDALONE NO VALUE)
FROM courses_xt cx
WHERE cx.semester = :term_code
;Similar queries are producing courses and users XML fine with no performance issues, but these are driven off either the courses view or the enrollments view, but not both.
Is there some other way I can produce the nesting I need for the vendor's schema?
The source views are basically as follows (showing relevant columns only):
courses_xt:
MAPPED_COURSE_ID       SEMEST
AVFT209-13307-201210   201210
AVFT210-13308-201210   201210enrollments_fall_sfrstca:
MAPPED_COURSE_ID       USER_NAME
AVFT209-13307-201210    FULLERC8
AVFT209-13307-201210    SHUPEK
AVFT209-13307-201210    NOMAN
AVFT210-13308-201210    SHUPEK
AVFT210-13308-201210    PELLONMWhen I have the query without the XML (with the subquery as a column of the outer query), this returns the correct data quickly (a couple of minutes).
I have tried various permutations of XMLFOREST, XMLELEMENT, XMLAGG but either I get syntax errors, or the data is wrong (e.g. repeated '<membership>' for each '<member>', or I have to create an invalid tag '<members>' to be filtered later).
Please advise!
Thanks,
Anita Lees

Hi Anita,
Have you tried with a GROUP BY and no subquery?
Here's an example using SCOTT schema.
I've used the same tag names and structure so that you can see the analogy :
SELECT XMLElement("enterprise",
         XMLAgg(
           XMLElement("membership",
             XMLElement("sourceid", xmlelement("id", d.deptno))
           , XMLAgg(
               XMLElement("member",
                 XMLElement("sourceid",
                   XMLElement("id", e.empno)
               , XMLElement("role",
                   XMLAttributes(e.job as "roletype")
                 , XMLElement("status", '1')
FROM scott.dept d
     LEFT OUTER JOIN scott.emp e ON e.deptno = d.deptno
WHERE d.deptno IN (10,20)
GROUP BY d.deptno
;which gives :
<enterprise>
<membership>
    <sourceid>
      <id>10</id>
    </sourceid>
    <member>
      <sourceid>

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.
