How to properly create a non-repeat report block?

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a front page for my report. In the report data mode I have a query only return one record, so why that query in the data model showed as a group? <It has the query name - Q_1 on the top, and a group box at the bottom named G_xxxx.>
Second question is why i use the report block wizard to create the frontpage, the wizard forced me to select a group, otherwise it give warning/error message. I only want to select the client name and his address and no need to repeat <so the frame should use the non-repeatable frame right?>.
At the moment, I have two queries in the data model, first one is the "select" query which will only return one record for the report's front page, second query is a matrix (cross product) query for the main contents of my report. Both query has no link.
This is my first Oracle report so any suggestions are the most welcoming.
Thank you
Bryan

Thanks DC
Thats what I was thinking too. Is this the only way to create a non-repeatable frame; no wizard can be use for create non-repeatable report block? Why I am asking this is because I am lazy, dont want to add all the fields and labels one by one to the frame.
Secondly, in the data model, is there any way to create a query which the data model will not recognise it as a group query but a single record query?

How can I create a non-EFI USB installation media

Hi fellows,
I usually create a non-EFI installation CD via this procedure
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … ical_Media
But now my optical drive is broken, so I need to create an USB non-EFI installation media.
How can I do ???

Hello nTia89,
I'm in a similar situation to yours. I have an ancient MacBook Pro (1,1) with a broken optical drive, and any attempts to get EFI boot working with Linux have resulted in no graphics.
My solution has been to first install Mac OS X via USB, then install Refind. After that, Refind will recognise Arch USB media during boot and you can install.
I'm only booting Linux, so my solution has been to use MBR on the hard drive. That forces the machine to use the BIOS compatability mode.
Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions!

How to properly create complex OCI objects (for Annotation Text)

I am upgrading a tool that will upload text objects to a table with a ST_ANNOTATION_TEXT field. The app is a C++ app and I need to instantiate a ST_ANNOTATION_TEXT (using OCIObjectNew??). I actually have 2 questions. First, does anyone have an example of how to accomplish this? I seem to be unable to correctly create the annotation text type in C++ to be able to append to (calling OCICollAppend). Second, since ST_ANNOTATION_TEXT is a complex type (contains an array of annotation text elements), do I need to call OCIObjectNew on not only the main ST_ANNOTATION_TEXT type but also for the ST_ANNOTATIONTEXTELEMENT_ARRAY, ST_ANNOT_TEXTELEMENT_ARRAY, and the ST_ANNOTATIONTEXTELEMENT?
I can't seem to find in info on this so hopefully someone else has been through this.

I am still having an issue where the sub objects are still NULL.Actually I was mistaken. I must have confused getting an Object from OCIObjectNew with using one of its constructor method in a statement.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28395/oci18nav004.htm#sthref3438 clearly state the object will have NULL attributes, unless the OCI_ATTR_OBJECT_NEWNOTNULL flag is set on the environment handle.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28395/oci11obj.htm#i446308 further tells you what the default value for the object members will be.
An older 9i doc http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96594/adobjadv.htm#1008774 also warns about resetting the indicator struct member when you update a member of the object.
user3068343 wrote:
++a) you allocate the object's top-level struct yourself (SDO_GEOMETRY in my case) in C+++
Above you suggest creating the objects top-level struct myself. How do you create that top level object? I have been using OCIObjectNew on that object as well as its sub objects? Is that how you are creating the top-level object?This technique works only on binds, as objects you get back from defines are always allocated from the object cache. I create the top-level object directly on the stack... This is something I discovered worked, but is not documented, so you're probably on safer ground using OCIObjectNew instead.
BTW, the reason I can't easily post OCI example code is that my code uses wrappers around the objects that hides most of the OCI:
Geometry Geometry::make_point(OCIEnv* envhp, OCIError* errhp, float x, float y) {
    Geometry point_geom(envhp, errhp);
    point_geom.set_null(false);
    point_geom.gtype() = 2001;
    PointRef point = point_geom.point();
    point.set_null(false);
    point.x() = x;
    point.y() = y;
    return point_geom;
}The above creates an 2D point-type SDO_GEOMETRY hidden inside the Geometry class, itself deriving from a GeometryRef class. The latter wraps a C++ API on top of the struct pointers for a SDO_GEOMETRY/SDO_GEOMETRY_ind, while Geometry actually composes the OTT generated value/indicator structs by value, and passes addresses to its nested structs to GeometryRef (its parent class). So GeometryRef can manipulate an object irrelevant of where it was allocated, the stack or the object cache. The Geometry class is a value class, but it's useful for binds only, and like I said uses a behavior which appears to work but is not explicitly documented.
Unless you have nested objects by reference, nested objects are composed by value in the OTT-generated structs, so the space for all nested objects is already allocated after the first OCIObjectNew. But the members themselves are not initialized, and thus marked as null in the indicator struct.
In the code above, my Geometry instance is fully allocated (on the stack), but fully uninitialized (the indicator is by default set to all nulls). I first set the atomic flag to non-null, then get the Ref wrapper around its nested SDOPOINT_TYPE to also set it to non-null, and fill in the x/y member (via another NumberRef wrapper, which knows about the member and the indicator for that member, and sets it as non-null when assigned to). Notice how how I return the instance by copy: My point geometry instance doesn't have a pointer-aliasing issue here, only because its two OCIColl* are null. In the general case, you can't copy my value wrappers without making a true deep copy... But I'm getting into the weeds here.
The important point is that OCIObjectNew doesn't init the nested objects unlike what I stated earlier. Sorry for misleading you on that. --DD

How can I create a custom repeat ("second Wednesday") in Calendar in calender

I have some repeating events (I believe transferred from previous phone) where the "repeat" line says "Custom" and the "every second Wed." (for example" carried over and plots correctly on the iPhone calender, but I don't see any way to CREATE a custom repeat like that. Is it possible?

There is not a selection for every second Wednesday, but you can repeat the event every two weeks as that is a choice. Hope this helps :)

How to properly create disk iimages using Disk Utility?

Can some one help explain how to properly use Disk Utility? When making an image of a CD, should I click on the CD drive and click on NEW IMAGE, or should I click on the mount name, which is indicate just beneath the CD drive?
Thanks!

"read only" means just that that the disk image is read only and you can't add files to it once the disk image is mounted. but as I said, if you want to make a backup of the original CD then you have to choose "CD/DVD master". then, when you burn the disk image to a blank CD it will be formatted properly.

How to properly create path art object, please help

Hello there,
I have a vector of AIRealPoint , each point is actual X, Y coordinate of the stroke. I need to create path art object out of this vector.
I'm somehow confused how to correctly construct segments array form the given AIRealPoints, my goal is to have single path object where count of segments is equal to count of AIrealPoints first and last points are anchors. SDK documenation is not really helping here...
Please, take a look at the code snippet, it seems I'm doing something wrong with in and out params of segment , in any case I fail to create simple path object ....
ASErr CretaeVectorPathTest2(vector<AIRealPoint>& stroke)
AIArtHandle artHandle;
ASErr result = kNoErr;
try {
AIRealPoint start;
long lngStrokeLength = stroke.size()-1;
AIArtHandle lineHandle = NULL;
AIErr error = sAIArt->NewArt( kPathArt, kPlaceAboveAll, NULL, &lineHandle );
if ( error ) throw( error );
error = sAIPath->SetPathSegmentCount( lineHandle, lngStrokeLength );
if ( error ) throw( error );
AIPathSegment *segment = new AIPathSegment[lngStrokeLength];
// This is a first point of the path
segment[0].p.h = stroke[0].h;
segment[0].p.v = stroke[0].v;
segment[0].in = segment[0].out = segment[0].p;
segment[0].corner = true;
for(inti=1 ;i< lngStrokeLength-1;i++)
   segment[i].p.h = stroke[i].h ;
   segment[i].p.v = stroke[i].h ;
   // NOT GOOD!!!
   segment[i].in.h = stroke[i-1].h ;
   segment[i].in.v = stroke[i-1].v ;
   segment[i].out.h = stroke[i+1].h;
   segment[i].out.v = stroke[i+1].v;
   segment[i].corner = false;
// NOT GOOD!!!
// This is a last point of the path
segment[lngStrokeLength].p.h = stroke[lngStrokeLength].h;
segment[lngStrokeLength].p.v = stroke[lngStrokeLength].v;
segment[lngStrokeLength].in = segment[lngStrokeLength].out = segment[lngStrokeLength].p;
segment[lngStrokeLength].corner = true;
error = sAIPath->SetPathSegments( lineHandle, 0, lngStrokeLength, segment );
if ( error ) throw( error );
error = sAIPath->SetPathClosed( lineHandle, false );
if ( error ) throw( error );
// apply color width etc.
AIPathStyle style;
error = sAIPathStyle->GetPathStyle( lineHandle, &style );
if ( error ) throw( error );
style.strokePaint = true;
style.stroke.color.kind = kFourColor;

As for beziers, Illustrator uses cubic beziers which are fairly straight forward (thank goodness!). Here's a lift from Wikipedia's Bezier entry:
This image is pretty good at demonstrating how AI's bezier segments work. In the animation, the moving point has two lines sticking off it, ending with two points. If P3 was an AISegment, the left-hand blue point would be in and the right-hand point would be out. If we were to translate the state of the animation in its last frame into AI code, you'd basically have something like this:
AISegment segment1, segment2;
segment1.p = p0;
segment1.in = p0;
segment1.out = p1;
segment2.in = p2;
segment2.p = p3;
segment.out = p3;
Note that this would imply any line that continues beyond either end point isn't a smooth beizer curve (i.e. the curve is limited to between these points). That effectively makes them corner points (I think). Also, the line formed by linking in & p or out & p is the tangent to the curve at p, which I think you can make out from from the animation.
Another way to get a feel for this is to use the pen tool to draw a line with a few segments. If you then pick the sub-select tool (white selection arrow, not black selection arrow) and select individual points on the curve, you'll see when you do that two 'anchors' jut out from each point. Those are the in & out for that point on the curve.
Its all a little confusing because technically, a bezier segment between p & q would be p, p.out, q.in & q. (four vertices). To avoid repeating information, and keep it simple for non-beziers, AI's segments are still the vertices. So if you wanted to make the nth segment a beizer, you'd need n & n+1 from AI's path, and you'd modify two-thirds of each AISegment (p, out from n & in, p from n+1).
I hope that helps, but if you have any further questions, feel free to ask! If you need to do anything fancy with beziers, there are some helpful utilites in AIRealBezier.h.

How do I create a non-JTS sequence connection pool using JTS

I'm getting all kinds of errors (DB deadlocks and exceptions) using JTS with sequences. From reading several posts, it is necessary to create a separate non-JTS connection pool.
I've seen several postings on how to do this in the sessions.xml file, but how do I do this in Java code?
What I am trying is:
SequencingControl seqCtrl = ((oracle.toplink.publicinterface.DatabaseSession)serverSession).getSequencingControl();
seqCtrl.setShouldUseSeparateConnection(true);
seqCtrl.setLogin(sequenceLogin);
I've also tried:
serverSession.addConnectionPool("sequencing", sequenceLogin, 2,5);
but neither work. The problem with these settings is that the sequence properties on my DatabaseLogin are not honored.
My table name is T_SEQUENCES and my preAllocation size is 5. However the SQL that is generated by this setup is:
"UPDATE SEQUENCE SET SEQ_COUNT = SEQ_COUNT + 50 WHERE SEQ_NAME = 'T_GROUPS_SEQ'"
I'm guessing these may be default values, but I don't know where else to override these except for on the DatabaseLogin I am passing in.
I know this setup works, because it is the same DatabaseLogin I use for non-JTS configuration.
Could someone provide me a code-snippet on how to do this?
Thanks,
Nate

I'm not using XML files, all of my setup is in code. I'm not sure how I would use the setLoginAndApplySequenceProperties(DatabaseLogin) call or if it would address my larger problem.
The main issue I don't want to lose here is, I've got an application where I'm trying to use JTS with JBoss and SQL Server. It's a SessionBean/POJO architecture. The problem I was having that started this thread is that sequence number allocation causes a database deadlock.
My thought was if I opened a 2nd connection pool dedicated to sequences, it might resolve the issue. I was able to do this with the workaround I posted, but it didn't fix anything. I now get a different error related to my newly inserted objects.
From working with this off-and-on over the last several months, I would say that I don't think TopLink/JBoss/SQL Server using JTA can be made to work.
I know that TopLink has a plug-in architecture and in theory if I implemented ExternalTransactionController and SynchronizationListener for JBoss correctly, it should all work.
But, I've got the JBoss 4.0.0 source that I can step through, I've got all the recent updates to SQL Server and the JDBC driver, and I'm following everything I've been told so far on how to make this all work.
It plain doesn't work.
Furthermore, I haven't found anyone (this group, JBoss group) that has gotten this to work (TopLink/JBoss/JTA). This is an important item to us, we'd like to get this to work, and we would be happy to work with Oracle Consulting on this or whatever it takes (already opened a TAR on this).
Are there any other support options available to making this work?

How do I Create multipage Web-ready reports in the evaluvation version of DIADEM?

I need to create a multi page web report. How do I do this using the evaluvation version of DIADEM? Does Diadem support web-based reports?

Hi SriramSharma
In DIAdem REPORT, the 4th panel of the left hand side, you create multi-page reports from 2D&3D graphs, tables, pictures and texts.
When you save this templete is stores into an XML based file formate that DIAdem reads called TDR. This is so you can resue these templates with what ever dataset you want.
However you also have the choice from the file menu in DIAdem REPORT (4th panel) to export to an HTML report.
After you have desinged you template, and are displaying data, select "HTML Export" from the file menu in DIAdem REPORT. This will save your file in a format that is compatible with web browsers.
Let me know if you have any additional questions
Thanks

How to properly create a loop?

I don't know very well how to explain my problem, let alone search it but I will try my best.
A loop which was made from merging samples lasts only until the end of the last sample (Track 2).
But I want to create a perfect 4/4 loop (Track 3)
What is the best way to do this?
I know a few but it takes some time to do and involves cutting then copy and pasting which is quite inefficient.

Ah, OK, very much my bad, I hadn't read the question properly. Basically, you need to add 3/16 of silence. You can do that by cutting a 3/16 silence earlier in the bar, alt-drag that to the tail, then merge it into a new audio file.

How to properly create and configure SharePoint 2013 Search service with PowerShell?

Hello Forum,
I have installed SharePoint 2013 across three tier servers:
WFE Server (Of course, SharePoint is installed here. Bsically this is just a Web server)
APP Server (Of course, SharePoint is installed here + Central Admin + Service Apps).
SQL Server
I now want to create and configure the Search service, obviously on the APP Server, But of course the search functionality should work correctly on the WFE server to.
I want to do this via a proper PowerShell script. I found Spence Harbar's script on: (http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2013mt.aspx), But it has three problems, and they are as follows:
1) Spence Harbar himself literally stated on his article that this script is for: "deploying on a single server farm", But what if I have three tier servers? Could anyone please help me out in suggesting the required tweaks in the
script?
2) By default Search uses the SP_Farm account, So, How can I change the script to use other dedicated account for the search service e.g. SP_SearchAcc ?
3) How can I modify the script to specify a default Search center?
4) Apart from all the three aforementioned point - Is the script missing anything?
I would greatly appreciate your inputs - Thanks !

the only differences are where you place the components. if you are doing a small server farm with a 1-1-1, most likely you just need to change the script so that you set the index and query processing component on the front end, but the others on
the app server. just a 2 second update... just keep in mind this will work, but I am making several assumptions without any knowledge of your farm, users, capabilities.
generally, there would be more of a breakout on the topology than that, but im guessing for this farm that you wont have dedicated search servers. also, a lot depends on # users (rps really), # items in index, size of VMs (RAM for query processing,
Disk for index, etc, etc), and making sure the topology works for your particular environment and needs.
if you want more detailed topology help, which aligns as closely as possible to "best practices" (not that those exist in SharePoint, go ahead and provide the total # users, average/peak RPS for search, current index size, content source types,
VM specs RAM, CPU, #/Size of drives, HA concerns/priority (obviously isn't, since only 1-1-1)

How do i create a non-scored multiple answer question?

Hi,
I've tried to figure out the best way to do this in Captivate 7, but can't find an answer. I hope you can help me out as I'm stuck
I need to create a question with 10 possible answers. They are opinions only---not correct or incorrect.
Kind of like:
"You are going shopping. What do you want to buy?"
1. apples
2. bread
3. milk
4. muffins
5. flour
6. juice
7. pasta
8. dishwashing soap"
etc.
The learner should be able to select none, some, or all and then click submit and advance to next slide, with no feedback given. I do not need to track anything for the LMS.
What should I use to do it? Interaction, Quiz, Survey, or Widget?
I am pretty weak with variables, so hopefully your solution will be simple
thanks!

Strange... You could have a MCQ that is a survey instead of a graded question (no score automatically) with multiple answers. Delete all the feedback messages and keep the buttons you want, only Submit is really necessary, you decide for the other buttons. But then the user will have to check at least one option. Maybe you can add the option 'I don't know' or 'I cannot choose'? That will be an easy solution.

How Do I Create a List of Reports?

Looking to create an exportable list of reports that are housed in my Crystal Reports Server 2008 Enterprise. Report Name, owner, next run time, last modify time, etc. The export preferably needs to be in Excel.

You can use the Query Builder to find this information. The result would be in HTML.
If you need a specific output type, you can create a script using the SDK which retrieves this information and writes it to an Excel file.

How do you create a non linear InDesign Interactive PDF modelled on having a 'home screen' from which you navigate?

I am trying to create an interactive presentation for a seminar the institute I work for hosted. I want to have a 'home screen' in which you can get a digest of what happened and then the viewer can subsequently view any of the 6 presentations that happened at the event (six icons will be on the 'homescreen' as well). After they are done viewing, lets say presentation 1, they press a home button and return to the original screen to view the rest if they so wish. Is this possible as an interactive PDF? If not any suggestions on how I go about creating it? Thank you!

You can do it with hyperlinks, link to: page then export to interactive pdf.

How do we create a variant for report which runs in the background?

Hi,
I want to create a report which will have some variants and will be running in the background?
The main intention is to transfer the data from one database into another. Please explain the step by step process.
Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
When you run a report program in foregorund(If you have a selction-screen), by pressing F8 button, it takes you to the screen where when you press execute button, the report is executed.
In this screen, you can enter the requirec values which you wish to store in the variables in the selection-screen and press SAVE button, then a variant will be created. You can create the required variants for your report and then when executing the same report in background, the process goes in this way,
Go to SE38->Program-> Execute->Background, there you can give the variant name and press EXECUTE IMMEDIATELY and your program runs in background for the given variant.
Hope this is helpful to you. If you need further information, revert back.
Reward all the helpful answers.
