How many Xserves will do what I need to do?

I will have 150 macbook clients. Want to run ichat server and ical server for 15 users. Do I need multiple xserves to authenticate/profile storage and then another for ical/ichat?
Thanks

Are the MacBook clients using the server in any way other than for iCal or iChat?
For example, are the MacBooks using NetBoot to boot from a disk image stored on the server?
Are they using network home directories to centralize the location of user home directories?
If it's just iCal/iChat and directory services, one server will do. You might want a second server for redundancy (so you keep running if the main server crashes).
For network home directories, you should be OK with 150 users on a single server, although the same issue of redundancy still applies.
For NetBoot it depends somewhat on how the clients are used - if they're all booting at the same time then one server is going to have a hard time keeping up. If only a few of them are booting and the others are sitting idle then it shouldn't be a problem.

How many rules will Mail allow???

That's the question... How many rules will Mail allow??? I can't find any documentation indicating a quantity. I can not save more that six. Am I missing something?

What was occuring. I was able to save and apply a rule once. If I closed mail, the rule just dissapeared. I was able to replicate this time and time again. I post4ed this question once before on 5/10/13. https://discussions.apple.com/message/21985327#21985327 . Because I received no response to that querry, I posted this again. Thank you for your repsone. I'm not sure what has occurred but I am able to make additional rules, save apply them; quit the application and upon re launch they are there. I have no explination as to what facillitated the change. Thank you for your response and querry.

Report execute time nd how many records will be returned before hitting the "run" option?

Post Author: Prasad15
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Is there any way to know how long the report executes and how many records will be returned before hitting the "run" option?
Regards
Prasad

To know if the report is going to return more than 10,000 records, you first have to run the query with a 'select count(1) from ... where ...' (with the same from and where clauses as you normal query). Since this takes about the same time as runnng your report, I wonder if you really gain anything (although formatting may take some time too).
You may simplify the select count(1) query by omitting all the lookup tables that are only needed for formatting. That way your query may run a lot faster. You can put this in your after parameter form trigger.

How many years will my PowerBookG4 still work?

I Have a 2001 PowerBookG4. The battery is dead, but it works with the charger. I'm wondering. How many years will it still work? What can I do to help? It's really old, and I won't lose it =\. Thanks.

My 2003 PowerBook G4 1Ghz is still working flawlessly. I treated to to a new battery about a years ago.
A friend has three circa 1998 PowerBook G3 "Wallstreets" that he uses every day. All three are running Panther 10.3.9 with the help of XPostfacto. I upgraded the hard drives to more modern 5400 rpm drives of 40 and 60G, and maxed the RAM on two to 512MB. They won't die.
With care, it's likely that you'll run out of software support before the hardware caves. That;s what my Wallstreet friends is discovering.

How to find Latch and what actions need to be taken when there is a latch

Hi
Can you please tell me how to find Latch and what actions need to be taken when there is a latch?
Thanks
Regards,
RJ.

1. What is a latch?
Latches are low level serialization mechanisms used to protect shared
data structures in the SGA. The implementation of latches is operating
system dependent, particularly in regard to whether a process will wait
for a latch and for how long.
A latch is a type of a lock that can be very quickly acquired and freed.
Latches are typically used to prevent more than one process from
executing the same piece of code at a given time. Associated with each
latch is a cleanup procedure that will be called if a process dies while
holding the latch. Latches have an associated level that is used to
prevent deadlocks. Once a process acquires a latch at a certain level it
cannot subsequently acquire a latch at a level that is equal to or less
than that level (unless it acquires it nowait).
2. Latches vs Enqueues
Enqueues are another type of locking mechanism used in Oracle.
An enqueue is a more sophisticated mechanism which permits several concurrent
processes to have varying degree of sharing of "known" resources. Any object
which can be concurrently used, can be protected with enqueues. A good example
is of locks on tables. We allow varying levels of sharing on tables e.g.
two processes can lock a table in share mode or in share update mode etc.
One difference is that the enqueue is obtained using an OS specific
locking mechanism. An enqueue allows the user to store a value in the lock,
i.e the mode in which we are requesting it. The OS lock manager keeps track
of the resources locked. If a process cannot be granted the lock because it
is incompatible with the mode requested and the lock is requested with wait,
the OS puts the requesting process on a wait queue which is serviced in FIFO.
Another difference between latches and enqueues is that
in latches there is no ordered queue of waiters like in enqueues. Latch
waiters may either use timers to wakeup and retry or spin (only in
multiprocessors). Since all waiters are concurrently retrying (depending on
the scheduler), anyone might get the latch and conceivably the first one to
try might be the last one to get.
3. When do we need to obtain a latch?
A process acquires a latch when working with a structure in the SGA
(System Global Area). It continues to hold the latch for the period
of time it works with the structure. The latch is dropped when the
process is finished with the structure. Each latch protects a different
set of data, identified by the name of the latch.
Oracle uses atomic instructions like "test and set" for operating on latches.
Processes waiting to execute a part of code for which a latch has
already been obtained by some other process will wait until the
latch is released. Examples are redo allocation latches, copy
latches, archive control latch etc. The basic idea is to block concurrent
access to shared data structures. Since the instructions to
set and free latches are atomic, the OS guarantees that only one process gets
it. Since it is only one instruction, it is quite fast. Latches are held
for short periods of time and provide a mechanism for cleanup in case
a holder dies abnormally while holding it. This cleaning is done using
the services of PMON.
4. Latches request modes?
Latches request can be made in two modes: "willing-to-wait" or "no wait". Normally,
latches will be requested in "willing-to-wait" mode. A request in "willing-to-wait" mode
will loop, wait, and request again until the latch is obtained. In "no wait" mode the process
request the latch. If one is not available, instead of waiting, another one is requested. Only
when all fail does the server process have to wait.
Examples of "willing-to-wait" latches are: shared pool and library cache latches
A example of "no wait" latches is the redo copy latch.
5. What causes latch contention?
If a required latch is busy, the process requesting it spins, tries again
and if still not available, spins again. The loop is repeated up to a maximum
number of times determined by the initialization parameter SPINCOUNT.
If after this entire loop, the latch is still not available, the process must yield
the CPU and go to sleep. Initially is sleeps for one centisecond. This time is
doubled in every subsequent sleep.
This causes a slowdown to occur and results in additional CPU usage,
until a latch is available. The CPU usage is a consequence of the
"spinning" of the process. "Spinning" means that the process continues to
look for the availability of the latch after certain intervals of time,
during which it sleeps.
6. How to identify contention for internal latches?
Relevant data dictionary views to query
V$LATCH
V$LATCHHOLDER
V$LATCHNAME
Each row in the V$LATCH table contains statistics for a different type
of latch. The columns of the table reflect activity for different types
of latch requests. The distinction between these types of requests is
whether the requesting process continues to request a latch if it
is unavailable:
willing-to-wait If the latch requested with a willing-to-wait
request is not available, the requesting process
waits a short time and requests the latch again.
The process continues waiting and requesting until
the latch is available.
no wait If the latch requested with an immediate request is
not available, the requesting process does not
wait, but continues processing.
V$LATCHNAME key information:
GETS Number of successful willing-to-wait requests for
a latch.
MISSES Number of times an initial willing-to-wait request
was unsuccessful.
SLEEPS Number of times a process waited a requested a latch
after an initial wiling-to-wait request.
IMMEDIATE_GETS Number of successful immediate requests for each latch.
IMMEDIATE_MISSES Number of unsuccessful immediate requests for each latch.
Calculating latch hit ratio
To get the Hit ratio for latches apply the following formula:
"willing-to-wait" Hit Ratio=(GETS-MISSES)/GETS
"no wait" Hit Ratio=(IMMEDIATE_GETS-IMMEDIATE_MISSES)/IMMEDIATE_GETS
This number should be close to 1. If not, tune according to the latch name
7. Useful SQL scripts to get latch information
** Display System-wide latch statistics.
column name format A32 truncate heading "LATCH NAME"
column pid heading "HOLDER PID"
select c.name,a.addr,a.gets,a.misses,a.sleeps,
a.immediate_gets,a.immediate_misses,b.pid
from v$latch a, v$latchholder b, v$latchname c
where a.addr = b.laddr(+)
and a.latch# = c.latch#
order by a.latch#;
** Given a latch address, find out the latch name.
column name format a64 heading 'Name'
select a.name from v$latchname a, v$latch b
where b.addr = '&addr'
and b.latch#=a.latch#;
** Display latch statistics by latch name.
column name format a32 heading 'LATCH NAME'
column pid heading 'HOLDER PID'
select c.name,a.addr,a.gets,a.misses,a.sleeps,
a.immediate_gets,a.immediate_misses,b.pid
from v$latch a, v$latchholder b, v$latchname c
where a.addr = b.laddr(+) and a.latch# = c.latch#
and c.name like '&latch_name%' order by a.latch#;
8. List of all the latches
Oracle versions might differ in the latch# assigned to the existing latches.
The following query will help you to identify all latches and the number assigned.
column name format a40 heading 'LATCH NAME'
select latch#, name from v$latchname;

How many apps will a 32gb ipad mini hold?

how many apps will a 32gb ipad mini hold?

There's no way to give a number since it depends on the size of the apps. Some are quite small, but some take up a lot of space. I have apps as small as 7MB and some well over 300MB, and I'm sure those are by no means the largest apps that exist. So there's no way we can really answer your question other than to say that after taking into account the amount of space the OS and bundles apps take up and the difference in how the capacity is listed between technical specs and what an operating system can use, a 32GB iPad will have about 28GB of usable capacity.

How many items will overflow in FI-SL Deltaqueue?

Hi,experts:
    As to SAP note
   "If the Delta method has been initialized for a source system, a Delta upload must be scheduled regularly so that the Deltaqueue will not overflow. If you want to stop the Delta method, you should also delete initialization."
    Then I have a question that how many items will overflow or how to calculate the maximum records?
Best Regards
Martin Xie

Hi,
In case of FI-SL the delta queue is not used so its not possible to count the number of records.
an SAP program-internal limit ensures that no more than 1 million LUWs are ever read and fetched from the database per delta request.
But even the LUW's can be a one document or many documnets bundled together.
So its defentely a multiple of million but its defenately not possible to count the number of records but you can make an assumption based on memory.
Thanks
Ajeet

How many situation will Aggregate Error occurs in Content Services?

Hi
while uploading files into content services its giving Aggregare error ?
but no category, have the full access and no exceeds to library quota?
how many situalltion will aggregate error occurs in content services while uploading?
how can i resolve this problem in content services.
Thanks in Advance

Typically aggregate errors are thrown for Bulk operations. A bulk operation is one where you tend to operate on multiple items (Folder, Documents) at a time. FileManager.createDocuments() , FileManager.delete(list of docs) are examples of this.

How many rows will be allowed in Cusom Section?

how many rows will be allowed in Cusom Section? can I modify the max rows setting?

I think the hardcoded limit in Admin is 250. However, I don't think 250 active rows in a single custom section on a specification would perform very well. I would try not to exceed 30 active rows per section per specification. Performance involves so many variables, it will depend on the type of extended attributes you have used in each cell. For example, if you had one section with 10 columns and 30 rows and every cell had 15 radio button choices the section would take quite a while to render. If helpful, you can always submit your custom section designs to support and we can review it for any potential gotchas.
Thanks

About how many songs will the new iPod Nano 16GB hold?

About how many songs will the new iPod Nano 16GB hold?

That depends on a number of variables including how long the songs are and the quality of the format.
A 4 minute song downloaded from iTunes (256k format) is 8MB. That would give you about 1,625 songs if you had nothing else on the Nano.
