How to accurately test if timezone data is updated?

Dear Sir,
I updated JRE 1.5.0_13 with the newly released tzupdater version. The output of the command:
#java -jar tzupdater.jar -V
tzupdater version 1.3.0-b01
JRE time zone data version: tzdata2007h
Embedded time zone data version: tzdata2007h
Even through it shows that the tzdata used by JRE is updated, I was interested to know if there is any other method that can systematically find out if the timezone data is updated eg. By displaying the date of a country that uses DST whose details have been newly updated by tzupdate.
Thank you for investing your precious time to read this message.
With regards,
Santhoshkumar.

I don't bother going online when I am using maps except when I am using the satellite map option.
For the moment the best way to keep your map data up to date is do use Map Loader once every month or two, delete all map data and then reinstall whatever bits you want.
Hopefully we will be able to check map status with the next Map Loader update.

How to accurately test code in Python?

I am trying to compare some custom C modules with the standard Python modules. For instance, I wanted to test if a random function in C could out-perform Pythons randint method.
I have tried using the timeit module, but I am curious if I am skewing my own results in any way.
import timeit
import ctypes
import random
my_test_lib = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('/home/name/workspace/Testing/test.so')
crand_timer = timeit.Timer("crand()", "from __main__ import crand")
prand_timer = timeit.Timer("prand()", "from __main__ import prand")
def crand():
for i in range(10):
my_test_lib.get_random(1, 10)
def prand():
for i in range(10):
random.randint(1,10)
if __name__ == '__main__':
print crand_timer.timeit()
print prand_timer.timeit()
Just for kicks, here is the C code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE 0
static int randomized = FALSE;
void randomize(void)
srand(time(NULL));
randomized = TRUE;
/* returns a random number between base and max, inclusive */
int get_random(int base, int max)
if (randomized == FALSE){
randomize();
return rand() % (max - base + 1) + base;
I compiled the C code with O3. The results seem to indicated the C code is about 2.3 times faster than the Python randint method.
Am I skewing the results in any way? I have a large amount of C code to test. I will be integrating a bunch of low level C modules into a Python program I am going to build. I want to learn how to test efficiently before I start.
edit:
If anyone needs/wants/interested in knowing-- I plan to build a tile based game with multi-threaded procedural dungeon generator. I want to build the generator in C and make it as fast as possible.

Hi,
If you increase the samples (say loop 5000 times instead of 10), the answers will be better, but accurate benchmarking is really hard.
Have you seen The Computer Language Benchmarks Game. I find it interesting.
When it comes to compilation flags, -O2 vs -O3 is seldom the problem. It's hard to choose the best algorithm and it's hard to make it scale as intented.
Do you know of Big O notation? That could be helpful.
Good luck with the game and dungeon generator.

How to test or view data if the source is XML files..?

Hi,
I just got a doubt..
How can we test or view data from BI Admintool if the source is XML files.
If it is database we can perform "Update Row Count" or "view data" from physical layer.
I am just going through the "sample sales" example and could not find the option to test
connectivity with xml file..(I can see the directory which points to samplesales and xml files..
but how can I view those data in BI admintool)..
Help would be appreciable..
Thanks and Regards,
Sri.

Hi Sri,
Yes, this option is not available for XML and multidimensional sources. Check "Show row count in physical view" in Table 2-1 documented here ,

Testing Report's data on OOTB Reports after first Run

Hi Gurus,
I am getting Data in the Financial Analytics Reports after doing all the required configurations, but how do i test if the data thats coming is correct.
( I think somebody needs to create and fire the SQL in EBS database and recreate the same exact report from sql)
But for this, one should be well versed with the Payables, Receivables and General Ledger Data model..
Should this testing be done by an OBIA Consultant?
Need guidance here , as i am the only one doing all the stuff here... and its overwhelming with the amount of knowledge and work required.
My source is EBS R 12.1.3
BI Apps version is 7.9.6.4
OBIEE 11.1.1.6.11
Thanks
Ashish

How do I test a scenario without getting the other party involved

Hi,
How do I test a scenario without getting the other party involved?
I have created a scenario to receive information from an external system (Remedy), processing through a SoapAdapter into SAP to create a service order. How can I send a sample of information in order for me to test my scenario without asking the Remedy people to transmit data all the time?
Thanks in advance,
Leanne

hi Leanne,
have a look at my weblog:

How can I test my Query As A Web Service?

Hi,guru:
    I have created my Web Service based on universe which based on SAP BW query using Query As A Web Service Designer, but when I use it in Dashboard on BOBJ platform by passing a parameter to the Web Service, it seems no response from the Server,I made 2 test steps:
    1.Pass a value to the input parameter,I checked by ST01 in BW Server and see no records of the action, and no result return.
    2.Pass a blank to the input parameter,I checked by ST01 in BW Server and got many records,and all data be retrived.
    It seems that when I passed the parameter,the Web Service seems no response and didn't run at all. Is there anybody who can tell me how can I test the Web Service,I want to test it and input my parameter.
    Thanks very much for your quick response.
Best Regards

How do you test your new laptops?

To the gurus or people who have researched this question: How do you test your new laptops?
When you get a new laptop, what do you do to test it?
My X1Carbon might arrive in a couple weeks, and reading about all the failures and DOAs is scary. So assuming mine is not simply DOA, how do you shake out the less obvious or more obscure problems?
I did search for this info before posting. One other person asked the question,
>> Would appreciate advice re optimal set-up and what testing/diagnostics to do to determine if ther...
but no one answered.

With testing I start with the basics and work my way to the harder stuff.
Inspect the external condition of the machine.
Boot and enter the BIOS before Windows. Review settings then power off.
Boot from Acronis True Image Home backup/recovery DVD and clone HDD or SSD and thus the factory image before it's ever booted to Windows.
Boot to Windows and look carefully at the Lenovo factory image and try to get an understanding for the Lenovo software and why it is there. This does not include the other software from Microsoft, Google, etc.
Create Lenovo Factory Image DVD set with Rescue and Recovery. Throw disk set in the box or put on the shelf in case the machine is ever re-sold.
Test all of the ports - I test every port on the machine for my expected usage. For instance, in the case of the X1 Carbon I would confirm the mini DisplayPort connection works correctly with an external LCD panel. If the machine had a IEEE firewire port or something, test that. Test the USB 3.0 ports with a known working external external enclosure and verify transfer speeds.
Test the SSD speed with CrystalDiskMark, ATTO and AS Disk Benchmark software to get a good overview of the performance.
Install HWiNFO and look carefully at the components. Observe turbo boosting, thermals and fan RPM over the course of a few days for battery and AC power.
Do at least one full battery discharge and recharge. Observe the cycle and details are being properly displayed and recorded in Lenovo Power Manager.
Download all software and drivers from support.lenovo.com for the model being tested. Confirm visually you have all the core components needed. Core includes the drivers, power management driver, Power Manager, hotkeys, etc.
Flatten the machine and install Windows or Linux from scratch. Install drivers and software.
Re-test ports and confirm the machine is working properly.
Benchmark the SSD again. Confirm no change.
Install HWiNFO and confirm turbo, thermals and fan speeds are still proper.
Install core applications and test them. There may be core features in Windows that also need to be installed and tested. For instance, Windows 8 Hyper-V for virtualization.
Connect any external devices you expect to use and test them. For instance, video cameras, smartphones, mp3 players, digital cameras, printers, USB docks, etc.
Do several battery tests with your typical applications and behavior. The goal here is to simulate how the machine will be used in your day-to-day setting or travel scenarios. I usually do at least three tests. This can be rather time consuming with long battery life machines so I get a lot of other testing out of the way first.
By the time you get to this point, if you haven't hit any major roadblocks you'll start to have a good feel for the machine, and if it is going to be a keeper or not. The assumption here is that during this timeframe you have been observing the screen, keyboard, and trackpad performance to see if it's to your liking. The other assumption is that you are using the machine and applications in the scenarios you are purchasing it for.
I don't run synthetic benchmarks. I prefer to test a machine against the scenarios I expect to use it with. I spend most of the first week making this assessment. If any major hardware defects are present, the machine is automatically returned. I do not repair machines just received. No exceptions.
Week 2 is for ironing out any minor issues and assessing if the machine meets the requirements for the scenarios it will support. If it does, it is kept. If it does not, it is returned. This week includes subjective and objective input. You have to weigh the pros and cons for a machine against your priorities. It is rare that a machine is perfect so you have to decide the ROI for the machine. Service and Support must be considered so week two might include a call to support for any unresolved issues. Don't discount the service you receive during this period.
After week two, you are likely right on top of the last day to return a Lenovo machine. The return period is 21 days from the invoice date (I believe), not the day the machine is received so make sure you are well aware of it. After 21 days, the machine is yours for good unless you sell it. Decision time.
Good luck.

How do you test any SAP objects before a transport to the production server

How do you test any SAP objects before a transport to the production server?

Hi Rama Krishna,
The actual process is develop the object in development system and unit test there with the available data.
Then move it to Quality server where the data will be the actual replica of production and where the integration testing and ened to end testing happens and also the user acceptance testing happens there.
and once everything is found fine there then it is moved to production system.
Award points if this is helpful.

Doug,
Now lets say l want everythingCould you post some sample data and the output that you want to get..? It would be much easy to understand the requirements...
When you mean everything, I am assuming you need all possible dates possible between date1 and date2.
you can use... (from asktom.oracle.com).
1 select to_date('12-jan-2009','DD-MON-YYYY') + rownum -1
2    from ALL_OBJECTS
3    where rownum <= (to_date('20-jan-2009','dd-mon-yyyy') -
4*                     to_date('12-jan-2009','DD-MON-YYYY') +1 )
sql> /
TO_DATE('
12-JAN-09
13-JAN-09
14-JAN-09
15-JAN-09
16-JAN-09
17-JAN-09
18-JAN-09
19-JAN-09
20-JAN-09
9 rows selected.
For your case, since you have date1 and date2...
select to_date(:p12_date1,'DD-MON-YYYY') + rownum -1
from ALL_OBJECTS
where rownum <= (to_date(:p12_date2,'dd-mon-yyyy') -
                    to_date(:p12_date1,'DD-MON-YYYY') +1 )Should work.. in my opinion...Haven't tested the second one in Apex .
Is this what you were looking for ..?? If not, please elaborate...
Thanks,
