How to underlay

Hi all,
I've created a bmp file by Microsoft's Paint and use it as a watermark. I put this pic in the page header and underlay the following sections, it works fine except lines and text boxes' borders are COVERED by this picture. It is supposed that every underlaid sections are printed on the top of the underlaying section. How can it happen?
Thank you very much!
Clara

As per my understanding, 'Underlay following Sections' means underlaying the objects in the following sections of the Same type.
for example if you put a watermark in Page Header a and Field Headings in Page Header b. When one sets this property for Page Header a, the watermark will appear for page Header b and Not for Details Section, Page Footer,Report Footer.
I think you should put your text boxes ,lines etc in Page Header b. Have Page Header a with only watermark and dont add any other objects in this section.
Please refer the account statement.rpt that comes with default installation. Hope this helps.

Vaibility of RTP relay server using JMF

Hello!
I am thinking of making an RTP server that would just relay the streams received from single user to multiple users.
I want to ask following questions:
1- Is it viable to make such a Server using JMF?
2- If it is, then how should I proceed?
3- Should I need to create Processor for each recieved stream at the server or just cloning the DataSource received and sending them using separate RTPManagers would solve my problem?
4- Is cloning of data source needed at all?
I am asking this before doing any coding just in case if it is not possible than you warn me ,and because I had real bad experiences while cloning the data source and this server, I think depends on cloning.
Else, I want some help regarding code. I would highly appreciate some code snippets.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks!
P.S.: captfoss, Are you listening?

Now some simple questions from a novice, thats me:I will answer them out of order
3- Are these terms specific to JMF or are they general Networking terms?They are general networking terms.
2- What is difference b/w unicasting and multicasting?Uni = Latin prefix for "one".
Multi = Latin prefix for "many"
Broad = Latin prefix for "all" (okay, this one is probably not true, but...)
unicast = sending data to a single recipient.
broadcast = sending data to all recipients.
multicasting = sending data to many recipients.
It deals with how the underlaying UDP packets are handled.
Unicast addresses the packets to a specific host, so all other hosts that receive those packets go "Not for me" and ignore it.
Broadcast addresses the packets to a special IP address, the broadcast ip, so all hosts that receive it say "Oh, this is a broadcast message so it's for me"
Multicast addresses the packets to an IP address in a special range (Class D addresses), and all hosts can opt to join in to the "multicast session". If they join the multicast session, it basiclly means when they receive packets addressed to any multicast addresses that they have joined the session of, they will consider those packets to be "for them".
1- What exactly is multicasting in JMF?JMF multicasting is basiclly where the "host" can send out a single stream, and any number of "clients" can receive the stream.
4- How multicasting is handled at Transmitter and Reciever side using JMF, some java statements please.Multicasting is almost handled "automaticlly".
It's handled by giving the transmitter a multicast IP address to send to. "224.123.123.123" is an example of the one I always used for testing (because it was easy to remember). Transmitting multicast packets is handled automaticlly.
Receiving multicast packets requires a little special handling.
From AVReceive2.java
if( ipAddr.isMulticastAddress()) {
    // local and remote address pairs are identical:
    localAddr= new SessionAddress( ipAddr,
                       session.port,
                       session.ttl);
    destAddr = new SessionAddress( ipAddr,
                       session.port,
                       session.ttl);
} else {
    localAddr= new SessionAddress( InetAddress.getLocalHost(),
                            session.port);
    destAddr = new SessionAddress( ipAddr, session.port);
}The main difference here is that your "local" address isn't going to be LocalHost address, "127.0.0.1", it's going to be the multicast address.
And you should define the TTL (time to live) for the SessionAddress because multicast packets can only travel a certain number of "hops" (number of times forwarded).
But honestly, I'm pretty sure I ripped that IF statement out and multicasting still worked (but I define the TTL for unicast as well, so bear that in mind...)
Ignoring all of the stuff above, multicasting is a great idea for a local LAN application where there are no routers between the host and the clients. If you've got a router between them, then the router may not forward the multicast packets and your stream may never get to the remote clients.
That's why in my project, which is web based, clients attempt to get the multicast packets and if they fail at that, then they request a unicast from my server.

Anyone know how to determine Macbook Air screen tech? Causing migraines

Hi There,
Last year, I expereinced a lot of mild migraines which I've traced back to a new Macbook Air.
At first I had no idea of the cause (diet, stress etc) but have noticed that my eyes feel uncomfortable looking at the screen of my Macbook Air (I don't have this issue with my Dell monitor).
My eyes don't hurt per se, but I can detect a sublte jittering with the screen - which can turn into a migraine.
After doing a bit of research, it seems like most (but not all) LCD and LED LCD displays use something called pulse-width modulation to control brightness but after calling Apple support, they told me my MBA doesn't use this technology.
Does anyone know how to determine the underlaying technology in Apple displays so I can research the cauase of my headaches? I found a good Ukranian website (in english) that explained pulse-width modulation but it didn't really talk about other technologies.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

How to see values (null, 0) instead of blank fields

Hi.
I search the forum but only found messages about users who want to show fields blank, when value is null.
I have the problem other way around. I work with DevSuite 10g and have a xml-Report.
I have fields and for some the query returns null (no value). Than the report shows nothing for this fields. Neither a blank line nor a value like 0.
The problem is, that the other values afterwards the blank ones, slip above.
For Example:
field 1
field 2
field 3
field 4
The Query returns null for field 2 and 3.
Then on the report I see:
field 1
field 4
But what I want to see is:
field 1
field 4
or:
field 1
0
0
field 4
But all I tested doesn´t work. I set a value for "when null" in the attribute inspector and the horizontal elasticity of "fix" (I thought it maybe it "slip together" so it is not shown).
Has anyone a idea how I can show a (blank or 0 value) instead of nothing, so that fields afterwards doesn´t slips up?
Thanks for your suggestions

Hej MLA.
I think it was from query, but it is anyway if it is from query or from form (it´s not from column).
@Brad
Thanks for your suggestion.
We solve this problem in a similar way.
We put a field under/over the other. We give the field we want to show a white background. So it is "sitting" over the other and the underlaying one is not shown (because the overlaying one has a white background).
If the overlaying one is blank it is not shown (so it can´t has a white background) and we see the underlaying field.
But to use triggers is a better solution.
I solve it on the same way as explained above but using triggers also.
But I have to leave a statement about Oracles Report Builder. Sorry but it is more than horrible program. I never have seen such a (also new and) bad programmed program. It is more than hard to work with it ... it cost me every hour I use it more and more power to stay quite ...
Here are the things I really wish to change at reports bulder directly:
- more than one step back (undo)
- there is a difference between the output in reports bulder on the paper output, what is shown when you print it on a paper (from reports bulder) and from what is shown in a PDF file produced with a reports server (that is really annoying, you never now if it is correct what you see in reports builder!)
- better editing and better selectable of the text-boxes and fields
- a way to hierarchically objects that are on the same layer (frame) so that you can really bank on it, that one object is ever behind another one
- not only moving and scaling of fields and boxes on a fix gutter (free transforming and moving would be great) because sometimes a text or a box with line around is not on the right place (out of order; above another object/text a.s.o.) and when it is (why I don´t really know) is not on the right place and the distance to the other object is less than the fix gutter-distance you can´t move it in such a way, that the two objects are flush with/on a fix line/place. It´s because the fix gutter. The distance is lower than the gutter, if you move it, it is not makeable to move it this less-than-the-gutter-distance to be flush with the other object. You can only move it in the fix gutter-distance and than it can´t be flush with the other objects.
It looked really bad and amateurish!
- a tool (a button or something) where you can marked object to flush all together on the same line, so that all objects for example are flush together on one start-line or ends (horizontal or vertical flush).
It would be great and would the work so really easier and better.

Repeat Group Header On Each Page with Underlay Following Sections

How to overcome the following problem?
1. I am using Crystal report 13.0.5.891
2. I have designed the report with Group Header as [Underlay following section]
3. I have checked the group to repeat on each page
4. Number of lines in the group header may vary
5. Number of lines in details may also vary
My objective is to print the separator line placed in group footer, after the
header lines or after the detail lines which one is taking the maximum lines.
This is not happening, and I am getting the following output, which is not meeting my requirement
Where the "LINE IN GROUP FOOTER" should appear after "Group 1 Header Line 6" in the second page
as the report ends there, but in the output, the line is coming just after the end of detail record.
like following
As a result of this, the next record of the group is overlapping with the first record and creating a mesh
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 1 OF 2
Column Heading 1                       Column Heading 2                      Column Heading 3
Group 1 Header Line 1                 Detail Record 1 Line 1
Group 1 Header Line 2                 Detail Record 1 Line 2
Group 1 Header Line 3                 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Group 1 Header Line 4                 Detail Record 2 Line 1
Group 1 Header Line 5                 Detail Record 2 Line 2
Group 1 Header Line 6                 Detail Record 2 Line 3
                                                  Detail Record 2 Line 4
                                                  Detail Record 2 Line 5
======================LINE IN GROUP FOOTER========================
PAGE BREAK

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for you response.
I have updated the crystal report to 13.0.13.1597.
Still I am getting the same issue. I am generating the report in PortableDocFormat and exporting the byte array to download from the web browser. The application is developed in ASP.NET 2012 .net version 4.5.
I am also uploading 2 images of the final pdf that I am getting, for your opinion.
The report appeared in the first image is ok, where the first group has 2 child records and the second group has 1 child, but whenever I am changing the mapping in the database, where the first group has 1 child and second group has 2 child, my report is not working. as it is clear from the second image
Also after installing the new version of CR, my existing codes are not working, and giving the following exception in the line where ExportToStream is written.
Unable to cast object of type 'FileStreamDeleteOnClose' to type 'System.IO.MemoryStream'.
I have modified the existing code to overcome this exception.

How do I get my menu bar at the top of the page with no gaps?

How do I get my menu bar at the top of the page with no gaps? Whenever I move it there is a huge gap at the top of the page which I cant seem to get rid of, i posted about this before but none of the suggestions seemed to work for me. i'm not very good with css so im not really sure where to find the problem. There are generally gaps everywhere which looks at absolute mess, no clue how they got there and why, there is a huge gap underneath my menu bar too which wasnt there before. how do i get rid of this too? its probably some padding a or margin but no clue where.

You will have to update your spry code (do not know how (possibly in editing the css), but it is causing the problem).
If you have CS3 or 4, you can use the spry updater extension from -
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/
Delete your old spry files then apply the spry updater by selecting, Site - Spry Updater - then select the options req'd.
Check your page works, modify the spry css as required, checking the site in the browsers after every change.

Spry menu hover: How to get rid of white box with "false"?

Hi--
I'm encountering an IE issue with a Spry vertical menu bar. When the user hovers over the submenu, white frames appear behind the submenu with the word "false" in them. Of course this doesn't happen in Safari or Firefox.
I was able to fix other similar problems with the menu by following tips posted on another forum. Namely, in the CSS, I disabled an IE hack that caused a white background to appear (menu background has to be transparent on this site). And in the JS, I disabled the following: this.removeIframeLayer(menu);
Here's the URL: http://www.qic-ec.org
Below are the css (1) and js (2).
Any help would be DEEPLY appreciated.
Thank you
Jackie

This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.

What can I tack on to the black sidebars on either end of this footage to fill in the gaps? I've also seen on TV where the sidebars on old 4:3 footage is blurred out by video from that particular frame. How can I do this?

Just duplicate the footage and superimpose.
Stretch the underlaying footage to fill the screen and add a blur.

How to make a photograph look like a hand drawn cartoon in Photoshop or illustrator?

Hi all-
I'm taking a childrens book writing and illustrating class and my illustrating skills are nil. I want the photos to look like a "Cartoon" and want to create the pictures for the book but not sure which filters work best for this effect.
Would prefer it to look like a child outlined the picture and then colored in between the lines. Picture is of a dog and girl.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I know basics of the filters and don't want to just slap any effect on it.
Thanks so much in advance if anyone has any great ideas.

kristin,
My initial thought would be to take advantage the vector outlines and color fills of Illustrator would make that an easier choice. It's also easier to edit cleanly. Use photos as a template underlay and draw on top of them. But, it'll look too slick.
Or in Photoshop, it's gonna depend upon how well the photographs were taken. I looked at the Fresco, Poster Edges, Sprayed Strokes, and Watercolor, etc., etc. The effects are nice, but, again, way too sophisticated for a child's hand.
>Would prefer it to look like a child outlined the picture and then colored in between the lines.
Which brings me to what may be the best choice. Pick up a box of Crayolas and some good vellum paper (from an art supply store) and trace the photo. Outline in black, and color in the rest. Get a child to do it, if you want realism.
Seriously.

How to design a report with "merged" cells?

Hello,I need to get rid of empty space in details section of my report.The width of the first column is less than the width of the next one and one row of the first column matches to a number of rows of the next column. All data are stored in one SQL table. I need to reach the following result without using of subreports because this report will be used as a subreport in another report:
WRONG:
CORRECT:
+----
+----
Columbia |Lady for a Day         Columbia   |Lady for a Day
Pictures |                       Picturies +----

In other words I want to suppress the same values in the first column and I don't want the heights of the rows of the second column follow the heights of the rows of the first column. I tried to create two details section and to use underlay the following section in the first details section, but without success.Thanks.

So could you group by issue datetime (at the appropriate resolution, e.g. per day) and then by studio? I've done it and the report looks great! Thank you! Now I use underlay of group headers under details instead of suppress of duplicated   group values in detail section and I'm happy!And I have another question... Suppose, there are two contractors that work on three Customer's sites. The first contractor makes Pumping operations. The second contractor makes Slickline operations.One day the first contractor made   Pumping operations on site#1,
then this contractor moved to site#2 and made   Pumping operations here.
In the meantime another contractor made Slickline operations on site#2,
then it moved to site#1 and made   Slickline operations here, tonight the second contractor moved to site#3 and made   Slickline operations here.Details of operations are stored in the one Table with the following columns:Operation_id, Site_id, time_from, time_to, Code_of_Type_of_Operation, Operation_memo, Contractor_name, ...     The customer wants to have a daily operations report where all operations for each Site are placed together, but in the meantime each Site must
be placed wholly into proper Operation Type section accordantly with the first
operation which has place on the Site. So I need to create the following Structure of the report:Pumping operations
   Site#1   Details of Pumping operations on Site#1
                Details of Slickline operations on Site#1Slickline operations    Site#2   Details of Slickline operations on Site#2                   Details of Pumping operations on Site#2
   Site#3   Details of Slickline operations on Site#3// Each "Details of operations" section is a number of rows from Details of operations Table
In other words the rule is the following:to seek for the first operation for each Site and to place each Site to a suitable section, for example: the first operation for Site#1
is PUMPING, so Site#1 must be placed into u201Cpumping operationsu201D section, the first operation
for Site#2 is SLICKLINE, so Site#2 must be placed into u201Cslickline operationsu201D section.
I think that If I'll use grouping:
Group 1 Type of Operation   Group 2 Site
then I'll have the following wrong report:
Pumping operations    Site#1   Details of Pumping operations on Site#1   Site#2   Details of Pumping operations on Site#2Slickline operations
   Site#1   Details of Slickline operations on Site#1
   Site#2   Details of Slickline operations on Site#2
   Site#3   Details of Slickline operations on Site#3But the customer doesn't want to break Sites! :(I have a number of ideas how to realize this report, but I would like to listen to masters.Thanks in advance!

How to implement this in OBIEE

Hi Experts
I have one report in which now customer name is changed. i want to show the old customer name as well new customer name for that customer ID in the report.
ex: Customer ID Name
1 A
Now the customer name changed to B for ID 1
So new report is
Customer ID OLDName New Name
1 A B
I have lot of customer...
So please suggest me how can i implement it in OBIEE..
Regards
-s

I guess that in your situation the value 'A' changes to 'B' once changed and you want to see the historical view of the customer changes?
In that case you are implementing a slowly changing dimension. You'll have to change your underlaying table, I guess that would be the easiest solution.
Implementing a scd can be done in different ways...it depends on what you need exactly.
Hope this can help you.
Kr,
