How to avoid being overcharged at end of BB contra...

The last two years I have had to jump through hoops to get reimbursed for overcharges incurred by my BB contract ending in (I think) December, and me being put onto a standard charge package, also last year being charged a whopping "cancellation" fee, all unbeknown to me as I wasn't even aware my contract had ended, nor that I had cancelled it! Thanks to a BT rep on this board (Stephanie?) it was sorted out, but not without hassle and inconvenience to me.
That time of year is coming around again and I would very much like to remain on exactly the same package as I am now, which is landline charge plus £5 a month for 10GB BB & free weekend calls. (This is at my second home, hence the low usage and favourable deal).
How do I go about preventing a repeat of last year's confusion and shock bill demand? If I cannot have the same package I am prepared to quit BT as I have a mobile for calls and a dongle contract for mobile BB. I'd quite like to stay though, but only if the package remains as it is now. If I do leave because this cannot be continued, how do I avoid being charged a cancellation fee, when I won't be cancelling as such, just completeting my contractual 12 month term?
Is there a cancellation fee for having the landline disconnected, given that this seems to be on a rolling contract? I am happy to give one month's notice.

E-mail campaigns how to avoid being suspected for spamming

Hi,
We plan to launch e-mail campaigns, but we fear that we may be tagged as a spammer.
My best guess is to throttle down sapconnect for INT to max. 1.200 mails per hour that way the different ISP shouldn't tag us as a spammer.
Have anyone of you had experience with that, and how did you solve it?
Best Regards
Michael Wolff

Created by own variant of sapconnect sap&crm with only 800 items per 10 minuttes, that way we will not be marked on the blacklist

How to avoid printing a balnk page at the end in the Adobe form output

Hello Experts,
Can anyone please let me know as how to avoid/delete the blank page at the end of adobe form output.
I have a master page with header n footer and a body page seperate.
For ex.. I have 3 line items and i want each line item to be displayed in the new page. I am able to get this functionality . I have set the settings in the paginationb tab of the subform as
"after " Go to Next content Area" " but an extra page is getting printed at the end. 3 + 1 extra pages total. I want to avoid this blank page. I have checked the Allow page break with in content box but it is still not working.
Can someone guide me as how to solve this problem.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mahesh

hey mahesh,
this normally happens because of triggering a new page manually, what u would have done is that you would be checking for the new line item and when this condition is satisfied , you are triggering a new page , the reason for the last blank page is that the condition gets satisfied ( beacuse the line item number changes from the last line item no to initial or space).
This can be handled by doing the following
By knowing the number of line items by the following stmt.
describe table itab lines v_lines.
Now you have the value in v_lines.
use a counter in ur form and keep it increasing it by 1 ( say v_sno ) ie v_sno = v_sno + 1 in the loop of ur internal table.
ONLY WHEN V_LINES IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO V_SNO , TRIGGER THE NEW PAGE
this should be along with the condition which u have already put, ie when ever line item no changes
when both these conditions are satisfied , then only the new page will be triggered.
Hope it helps,
Reward if useful,
Regards,
KP.

Utl_file.utl_raw adds a line feed at the end of the line. How to avoid it.

utl_file.utl_raw adds a line feed at the end of the line. I have to send some binary files to my vendor and they do not want a line feed at the end of the line.
When I execute the sample program below, it creates a file with a line feed(chr(10)) at the end of the line. When I do dump in hexa, it shows a character x0A
How to avoid the line feed at end of line?
We are using Oracle 9i on unix platform.
declare
l_output           utl_file.file_type;
v_raw      raw(32767);
v_trlr_rec_code      VARCHAR2(2);
v_trlr_evnt_title      VARCHAR2(6);

v_trlr_evnt_title      := 'STARTD';
v_raw := HEXTORAW(v_trlr_rec_code) || utl_raw.cast_to_raw(v_trlr_evnt_title);
utl_file.put_raw( l_output, v_raw );
utl_file.fflush( l_output );

dbms_output.put_line( utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( v_raw ) );

WHEN OTHERS THEN
     dbms_output.put_line( sqlerrm );
end;

oops, sorry i overlooked the fact that the db is 9i; thanks for pointing it out Solomon.
Not sure about this, but a workaround could be to remove the "\n" characters at the end of each line using one of the many Unix utilities after the file has been created.

How to avoid a line of data being cut by page jump ?

Dear Java Experts,
I have encountered a very troublesom problem!
The problem is described as follows:
When the browser (IE or Netscape) contains many HTML character data (especially HTML tables and data from DATABASE), how can I print the data to client's printer
(i.e. browser's printer) without having a line of data cut by page jump?
That is how to avoid a line of data cut by page jump, upper part of the data in one page and lower part in next!
I think the problem should be solved with client's java applet!
Can any expert give me sample code to solve the problem or indicate me where I can find documents about solving the problem?
Thank you very much in advance!!
Best Regards,
Jackie Su

HTML is not really meant for device-specific presentation (despite a lot of abuses in this area).
I don't think you're going to solve this satisfactorily with HTML, no matter what you jury-rig around it.
If this kind of presentation control is a requirement, you're probably better off with a format that directly supports this--PDF is the most obvious choice.
There's a sourceforge project that supports PDF generation from Java (http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext/ - I don't have any experience with it) and I think there may be others.
And I believe there are also commercial products for this.

How to avoid db file parallel read for nestloop?

After upgraded to 11gr2, one job took more than twice as long as before on 10g and 11gr1 with compatibility being 10.2.0.
Same hardware. (See AWR summary below). My analysis points to that Nestloop is doing index range scan for the inner table's index segment,
and then use db file parallel read to read data from the table segment, and for reasons that I don't know, the parallel read is very slow.
AVG wait is more than 300ms. How can I fluence optimier to choose db file sequential read to fetch data block from inner table by tweaking
parameters? Thanks. YD

Its not possible to say anything just by looking at the events.You must understand that statspacks and AWR actualy aggergate the data and than show the results.There may be a very well possibility that some other areas also need to be looked at rather than just focussin on one event.
You have not mentioned any kind of other info about the wait event like their timings and all that.PLease provide that too.
And if I understood your question corretly,you said,
How to avoid these wait events?
What may be the cause?
I am afraid that its not possible to discuss each of these wait event here in complete details and also not about what to do when you see them.Please read teh Performance Tuning book which narrates these wait events and corresponding actions.

How to avoid Moire Effects (jiggered still pictures) using iM and iDVD.

This is a discussion going on forever and forever in this forum. I had the problem of bad looking slideshows myself, and I am hearing the same tips over and over again that just don't work. This is what I found out on how to avoid moire effects in your still images, when you want to edit a slideshow using iMovie - and I personally think, this explanation makes a lot of sense.
Try it on your own and you will have had the last bad looking still image slidehow on the TV screen ever!! Here we go:
Like everybody here I am talking about the process of creating a slideshow incuding movie strips in iMovie to get as a final result a DVD with menus and such using iDVD.
And the common problem with stills and iMovie 5.02 are the so called jiggered pictures iMovie creates. Call it a moire effect, if you'd like.
Whenever full resolution still images are importet from iPhoto into iMovie, the quality that iMovie will spit out in the end is disgusting. Period. Just disgusting.
It has nothing to do with that iMovie does not display it properly on the Monitor or we are just in preview mode - the results are bad there and will be bad (maybe even worse) on the TV screen.
There is no SIGNIFICANT difference between wether the pictures are imported with KB on or off, whether they are imported as still frames or as video clips using iMovie "import" function. iMovie can treat the color fairly bad, overprocesses the pictures and - worst of all, the moiree effects you will see in the endresult are just very very bad. It is worse when the pictures are panning a lot (KB).. This is true for every picture containing a lot of detail (Trees, Forests, horizontol lines (stairs) etc.) - not so bad for closeup face shots, unless that person is really old
There is no SIGNIFICANT difference on the result by how the iMovie project is fed into iDVD. When the movie is sent to iDVD using the iM command "send to..." the quality is worse (and you let iM render when it asks) than if the movie is dragged into the iDVD window - but again, the difference is not significant. The result will suck. The DVD will also look bad, when the iMovie is exported has high res quicktime first, before imported into iDVD. Again, its slightly better that way, but not significant.
Whenever a slideshow is created in iPhoto and than exported to iDVD (or via being a quicktime movie through iMovie into iDVD) the result will be however stunning. But that totally defeats the purpose of iMovie and the degree of freedom of designing slidehows in a very appealing manner.....
The problem I think lies in how iMovie processes still images. And this is not a bug, but more of a mathematical/programmatical problem. iMovie has to REDUCE THE RESOLUTION of your still. A 2000x3000 pixel image @ 300 dpi(roughly the dimensions of a 6 MP image) has to be downsized to a TV image (NTSC or PAL, whichever) which has a resolution of approximately 480x640. HD is accordingly higher. The amount of pixels has to be reduced. iMovie can do that. NOT GOOD. But it can. The problem starts when the picture is panning around (KB). iMovie makes a let us say 5 second movie @ 30 fps out of one still image. Almost every frame will be slightly different from the previous one due to the used KB effect. So, the routine of iMovie does this downsize calculation for each single frame - and it removes each time different pixels from the still image, due to a slightly different source still image. Got it?
Now, when you look on how moiree effects occur (which is some weired math in it's own) than it makes sense, that we see all this jiggereing in horizontol lines of high res. patterns.
I found that if I reduce the size of each image in Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) prior to importing it into iMovie, the quality of the final product that iMovie and subsequently iDVD spits out in the end is AMAZING (reduce the dpi to approx. 72, so the image resolution is roughly 480x640). This is not a difficult process, because both programms (PS and PSE) handle BATCH PROCESSING. Just let the Mac work for a couple of hours or so.... its WORTH IT (and don't forget to make copies of the high res originals beforehand... :D).
(before you resize, find out about how to properly resize and rescale an image!!!!)
I am slightly annoyed that I found that out after producing a long long long long and really good slightshow, that is watchable but looks REALLY cheasy and cheap).
I hope this helps out.

I agree that iMovie's still image quality is embarassingly bad and has many bugs.
Even with no Ken Burns, the sharp images tend to flicker on a TV because iMovie doesn't blur them properly.
And as you very well described, iMovie's Ken Burns produces uneasy zooms/pans because the subpixel rendering is, uh, suboptimal.
iMovie's immortal rendering bug when exporting non-Ken Burns'ed images to iDVD/tape doesn't make things any better.
Yes, bicubically downsampling the input images to 640x480 or adding gaussian blur to the megapixel input images takes care of the flicker and uneasy zooms/pans, but as a side-effect the maximal zoom-ins are then TOO blurry.
The best workaround is to use Photo To Movie's higher quality export setting. It has the best quality rendering engine (I recently compared it to Still Life and FotoMagico). Disclaimer: I'm just a satisfied customer of Photo To Movie.

How to avoid deadlock - ORA-00060 in trigger

Hi,
We are using 11.2.0.3 and have a trigger which acts upon a mutex table.
Trying to catch when value from other program has changed locked value from 0 to 1 to indicate they have finished.
Once they finished we need to lock the mutex table by updating locked value.
Code below gives error ORA-00060 - deadlock.
Any idea how to avoid but allow us to updat ethe mutex table in trigger at star t to say we are locking and at end to indicate we are finished.
Thanks
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER example_trg AFTER UPDATE

Triggers should not be used for non-transactional purposes like this.
A simple SELECT . . . WHERE (myLock = 'UNLOCKED') FOR UPDATE can be used to query the record and lock it if the lock is not already set. Then your code can update the lock value and that will prevent the same query by other users from being successful.
But you haven't really provided any information about what you are trying to do.
If you want to prevent two processes from executing at the same time you can use Oracle's LOCK functionality.
See this thread for how to use DBMS_LOCK to create your own locks that can serialize access to your procedures.

How to avoid the duplicate values, I do not want the duplicate............

i have one database table called "sms1" that table is updated every day or on daily basis it has the following fields in it:
SQL> desc sms1;
Name Null? Type
MOBILE NUMBER
RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER VARCHAR2(39 CHAR)
SNO NUMBER
INDATE DATE
From this table the is one column "RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER VARCHAR2(39 CHAR)" . I am splitting it into different columns like :
SQL> desc smssplit;
Name Null? Type
R VARCHAR2(2 CHAR)
C VARCHAR2(2 CHAR)
S VARCHAR2(1 CHAR)
TC VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC2 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA2 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC3 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA3 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC4 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA4 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
WTHER VARCHAR2(10 CHAR)
SNO NUMBER
INSERTDATA VARCHAR2(25 CHAR)
Now I am written a procedure to insert the data from "Sms1" table to smssplit table...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SPLITSMS
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO scott.SMSSPLIT ( R,C,S,TC,NA,TC2,NA2,TC3,NA3,TC4,NA4,WTHER,SNO)
SELECT SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,1,2) R,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,3,2) C,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,5,1) S,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,6,3) TC,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,9,3) NA,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,12,3) TC2,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,15,3) NA2,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,18,3) TC3,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,21,3) NA3,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,24,3) TC4,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,27,3) NA4,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,30,10) WTHER, SNO
FROM scott.SMS1 where SNO=(select MAX (sno) from SMS1);
END;
Now in order to update the second table with data from first table on regular basis I have written a job scheduler and I am using oracle 9.0. version...
DECLARE
X NUMBER;
JobNumber NUMBER;
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT
job => X
,what => 'scott.SPLITSMS;'
,next_date => SYSDATE+1/1440
,interval => 'SYSDATE+1/1440 '
,no_parse => FALSE
:JobNumber := to_char(X);
END;
Now this job scheduler is working properly and updating the data for every one minute but it is taking or updating the duplicate values also ..like example:
R C S TC NA TC2 NA2 TC3 NA3 TC4 NA4 WTHER SNO

How to avoid creation of _(file.*), coping from tiger to pc?

how to avoid the creation of this file for ever on a pc environment??
I explain: as i copy any image file, it goes to a spooler directory and that begins instantly to process the file to an OPI server, separating CMYK channels, converting it to high and low resolution...
but as this _(file) is created (same name and extension, but 0Kb and with this _ underscore in the beggining of it name), it begins to process it, and as it really does not exists as an image itself, it crashes the OPI server, forcing us to restart it...
and then, you can imagine the mess, because we're a newspaper, with more than 100 machines logged in two cities simultaneously...
thanks for those who replied last topic I posted about some softwares to delete it! it really worked!!
but now, can anyone have a clue how to DON'T create this file?
thanks in advance!

I believe that command is supposed to stop the creation .DS_Store files on servers. Also, I think the plist file gets written to the user ~/Library/Pref, it probably ought to exist both there and in the /Library/Pref folder to really work.
I didn't think the Save for Web option would work for your purposes. I don't believe anything will work except to strip the resource fork off the files before you send them. There is an Applescript that will do it, using a UNIX command in the script. You select a folder, run the Applescript, and it strips the resource fork off all files in the folder and creates a sub-folder called Stripped with resourceless copies of the files in the original:
-- Strip resource fork and metadata in Tiger for one file.
-- If a folder is selected creates an unresourced subfolder of the selected folder
tell application "Finder"
     try
          set aFile to the selection as alias
          set aFolder to the container of aFile
     on error
          display dialog "Select a file"
          return
     end try
     set aFile to the quoted form of POSIX path of aFile
     do shell script "rsync -a " & aFile & " " & aFile & "Stripped; mv " & aFile & "Stripped " & aFile
     update aFolder
end tell
The "do shell script" line must be all a single line in Script Editor. It might wrap funny in the browser. Anyway, copy it, paste into Script Editor, hit compile, and save it as an application. I've only fooled with it a little tiny bit, so I'm not sure whether the rsync process would have any strange effects on complex Photoshop and EPS files or not.
As far as I know the only way to send Mac files without resource forks to a server is to strip them from the files.

How can avoid the problem of Parameter Prompting when I submitting ?

I am developing web application in visual studio 2008 in csharp.How can avoid the issue or problem of Parameter Prompting when I send parameters programaticaly or dyanmicaly?
