If a server platform change is the way forward post advice here

I should think a lot of you have started to investigate the possibility of a move away from Mac OS X in the server room now that the xserves days are numbered, and I'm sure many of you have limited experience of other server platforms.
Its also pretty clear we are being left on our own to muddle through this.
So how about we help each other out and discuss our options, if anyone is currently using Windows and Linux servers with Mac clients can you share some of your experience, what do you need to replicate all the services and functions we are used to on Mac OS X server.

Help> Getting Started is a good starting point, as is Adobe TV - Quick Links to Elements Adobe TV Tutorials.

Is there a change in the way 10g sees the rowid column.

i have two databases in my test environment
1. Oracle 10g on CentOS 5.3
2. Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2003
i am practicing simple SQL with the default HR schema created while creating databases using dbca.
all i am doing is trying to display the employee with the 10th highest salary.
in Oracle 10g i run the following command:
SQL> select first_name || ' ' || last_name, salary from employees where
rowid =
(select rowid from (select first_name || ' ' || last_name from employees order by salary desc) where rownum <=10
minus
select rowid from (select first_name || ' ' || last_name from employees order by salary desc) where rownum < 10);
FIRST_NAME||''||LAST_NAME                          SALARY
Lisa Ozer                                           11500when i run the same command in 9i

rowid =
(select rowid from (select first_name || ' ' || last_name from employees order by salary desc) where rownum <=10
minus
select rowid from (select first_name || ' ' || last_name from employees order by salary desc) where rownum < 10)
no rows selectedon digging deeper i found out that in 9i .... when i run the two sub-queries, give the same rowid as output.

9 rows selected.is there a change in the way Oracle 10g treats rowids from subqueries?
when i change the query to include the rowid in the innermost sub-query things work as they should in both 10g and 9i
select first_name || ' ' || last_name, salary from employees where
rowid =
(select rowid from (select rowid,first_name || ' ' || last_name from employees order by salary desc) where rownum <=10
minus
select rowid from (select rowid,first_name || ' ' || last_name from employees order by salary desc) where rownum < 10)

OK,
I didn't seem to have made myself clear. You state
'the above query uses rownum to filter the top 10 and top 9 salaries and picks the person with the 10th highest salary.'
As you are using row*id* , and rowids are random strings, and can change during the life of your table, you can not rely on the results of your query.
Your usage of the rownum pseudo function (as opposed to the rownum analytical function is also incorrect, as rownum is assigned prior to ordering it.
This
        select * from
         (select rownum rn, ename, sal
          from
          (select ename, sal from scott.emp order by sal desc)
          where rn=10is quite as sufficient, and doesn't use hacks like rowid.

[svn] 4005: Change in the way item renderers lay them selves out.

Revision: 4005
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-11-03 17:07:38 -0800 (Mon, 03 Nov 2008)
Log Message:
Change in the way item renderers lay them selves out. Before we were using 100% width and 100% height. Now, we're using horizontalAlign and verticalAlign to accomplish this, which are properties added to VerticalLayout and HorizontalLayout, respectively. horizontalAlign takes values "left", "center", "right", "justify", and "contentJustify". "justify" sizes all elements to the width of the component. "contentJustify" sizes all elements to the size of the largest child (with a minimum of the width of the parent component). Similar, verticalAlign takes "top", "middle", "bottom", "justify", and "contentJustify".
The default List skin sets the VerticalLayout's horizontalAlign to "contentJustify." Most lists should use "contentJustify" or "justify" if you don't want scrollbars. If you want to change your list to a horizontal list, you change the layout to a horizontal layout. However, you must set the verticalAlign property on the horizontal layout correctly--otherwise it'll default to "top" and probably won't do what you want.
Ran checkintests and the following mustella tests: layout, list, Group, DataGroup, FxDataContainer, and FxContainer. Some DataGroup tests were failing but should be because of an unrelated, local change. All other tests are passing.
QE Notes: Failing tests are excluded. Please update them (I think all just need to add verticalAlign="contentJustify" in the horizontal layout case) and re-include them. Also, please write tests for this new functionality.

N900 Is it the way forward?

I've just recieved the N900 (UK on Vodafone) but straight away i've come across and error which means it's going back for a replacement handset - although Vodafone currently struggling to have the N900 in stock! The error is "internal error closing app". My concern now is reading lots of blogs i'm currently concerned that the N900 is not yet ready for the market and perhaps should be looking for something else.
Is the phone the way forward?

I've had my N900 for just over a month now and I would gladly recomend it to anyone. The comunity that has developed with maemo has moved onto the maemo 5 operating system and with them comes years of knowledge of the system, greater than any phone/computer manufacturer would be able to provide to the general user.
    As a result of the open source nature of the device i can download apps like 'comix' for free rather than paying nearly a tenner for one that comes with much less useability on the iphone. The full web browser also entitles me to get last fm on the go for nothing, rather than having to create a permium account for the right to listen on the go.
   The largely scientifc user base for linux means that rather than a large selection of apps that are just for recreational use, alot of useful programs get ported. Graphical calculators, Periodic tables & Planispheres are just a few that I have used greatfuly.
    The file management system is also very user friendly, alowing me to create folders and move items with ease, even though i only have one button to do it with.
    So to anyone thinking of getting this phone I would say do it. As a phone it works better than any other phone out there, because it has skype & google talk built in and is always connected. And what is a phone except a device for people to contact you on. As a internet tablet it is getting there. It can be used with ease to find out anything on the web, and I have yet to come across a web page that dose not load as it loads on my home pc, if a few seconds slower. The firefox web browser also comes with add ons that can gather location specific information (e.g. coffee houses and petrol).As a portable gameing machine, well take your pick from the entire back catalog of nes, snes and dos games. As a hacker tablet it already has software to crack wireless encription available to everyone, but you have to be comfortable with xterminal and everything else a hacker should know to use it.
    All this and it has only been on general sale in the uk for just over a month. Sorry if i come off as a fan boy, but I can't see what comes next in functionality. Nokia have got it so right with this device that i can see it sticking around for a long time, even if the os changes.

Is Creator + JSF the way forward ?

Hi
First post to forum ...
Is Creator + JSF the way forward, or would you use some else for a new project ?
I have developed a number of small sized web apps. Typically < 20 jsps + supporting classes for db access, all using a simple hard coded MVC servlet scheme.
However I have become accutely aware that while this is fine for small stuff, it does not provide any short cuts for saving development time and probably does not scale all that well either.
Hence I am looking for a single technology to speed up design/coding, and I want to move up a level in terms of professional best practice for java web app development.
Two attractive technologies appear to be Struts and JSF. My current preference is for JSF over Struts, almost entirely because Creator "looks" like such a good IDE for rapid devel. Is this a good enough reason for going with JSF, or should I look again at Struts or another IDE.
Also I have noticed that Creator on my win pc is "dog slow" no doubt it needs more memory. But this sort of issue concerns me because I am left wondering what other problems I will run into only after I have spent valuable time on the project. Will I be left thinking that choosing JSF because of Creator was a not such a good idea.
Finally my next app will a web based custom cms system. I would very much appreciate all of your thoughts based on past experiences on which way I should go for time saving java web app devel. JSF, Struts, Creator, JDev...
Many thanks
Paul

I share your concerns. I'm also new at enterprise java development. I've found, however, that Creator has been an excellent tool for cutting my learning curve in half. It helped me to better understand the relationships between the various java components.
Having said that, however, I (and others I know) have experienced the frustration with the slow responses and code generation. I presume this is because the IDE may also be written in Java rather than C. It does NOT affect its run time environment when your application is deployed, however. Your application will run great when deployed to a "real" server.
My only other problem has to do with the jdbc drivers. Some if not all of Creators databinding relies on jdbc method calls. Where I work we use a Sybase database and while Sun and BEA have perfectly fine Sybase jdbc drivers, the folks I work for insist that we use Jconnect and the jdbc Sybase provides. This jdbc is lacking in a number of methods and, when forced to use it, ALL your databinding goes out the window. This means I have to spend just as much time, if not more, writing my own code to populate the Creator objects (specifically table objects) or learning and implementing more tools like Hibernate or whatever. I'm trying to make my life SIMPLER, y'knowwhatamean?
So while the tool is great, well integrated, well thought out, etc., be carefull of your actual deployment environment.

I'm tring to delete my webpage history but it doesn't work, I've done it the way it is told here on the webpage but all the webpage history is still there and have no star, how can I delete it?

I'm tring to delete the webpage history and it's impsoible. I've done it the way it's told here on the webpage, I've deleted all the cockies etc and they are all gone but the webpages still stays in the search line. I've tried to delete all of it a couple of times now but nothing happens. When I push the scrolldown thing or write an adress the old once are still there. Why can they go away? What's wrong with it?

24 hours so far downloading Lion and no end in sight. Is this really the way forward?

Here in the UK a lot of us have fairly pathetic download speeds, so I ask Apple is this really the way forward?

Same for me - started 20.July about 7pm in germany with VDSL capable of 2.5MB/s
Download Started well soon but dropped to about 300KB/s. Stopped and went to bed at about 10pm.
Resumed at 21. July at 7am - between 100KB/s and 300 KB/s for about 90min. Stopped and got to work.
Resumed now at about 2:30p.m. lying between 50KB/s and 100KB/s :-(

Change in the way the library is sorted with the update 7.3

Am I crazy or the sort has drasticaly change with the new update 7.3 of ITune.
I used to put an exclamation mark before the artist in order to recognize the CDs I imported versus the one I downloaded or my other mp3.
With the 7.3 update I now have the same artist repeated 5 to 6 times even though the artist name is exactly the same. It looks like this:
!Pearl jam
Pearl jam
!Pearl jam
!Pearl Jam
Pearl jam
And then goes to a different artist.
Am I the only one with this problem and does anyone know how to fix this or can explain me what exactly is used in order to sort my library (both on my Ipod and my Itune)???
Thanks

Hi imjolly,
It was definitely the normal speedtester I ran and not the Beta Version.
However, I have just come back in and run speedtester again and the display iback to normal, viz :-
1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Download Speed
2.57 Mbps
0 Mbps
4 Mbps
Max Achievable Speed
Download speedachieved during the test was - 2.57 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 1.2 Mbps-4 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 2.94 Mbps
2. Upstream Test: -provides background information.
Upload Speed
0.35 Mbps
0 Mbps
0.45 Mbps
Max Achievable Speed
So it looks like a one-off error. I could not afford to wait another hour to run another test before leaving this morning.
You say "just make sure that the errors don't start to affect your download speed". The hub stats and speedtester results suggest speed is consistently reliable at ~2.6Mbps. However, my wife was trying to place an online grocery order yesterday afternoon and she said it was so slow she had to quit and come back to it in the evening. So can these errors cause a short term drop in speed that will not be picked up by speed checks then ? If that is the case, what can be done to reduce the errors please ?

Is there a change in the way Firefox 4 displays fonts from CSS?

This site is coded using standard CSS and had Arial Narrow as first font choice for certain elements. In Firefox 4 / Windows 7 those instances are now defaulting to secondary font - Arial or to the default font Times Roman. EVERY other browser including past Firefox have displayed Arial Narrow properly - assuming the user has it in their system fonts - which is the vast majority of visitors. NEED a fix for this!

This worked for me:
font-family: Arial;
font-stretch: condensed;

Changes to the way Infinity will be advertised?

After a long wait the ASA have spoken about speed claims on broadband services and after April next year ads can only claim speeds that at least 10% of people get. Of course that means you have a 9 in 10 chance of getting slower. One estimate of the impact on Infinty and similar services is they will have to claim 36 Mb/s rather than 40 Mb/s but ADSL2+ goes to 13Mb/s from 20 or 24Mb/s currently.
They have also spoken about what "unlimited" means so BT should be able to claim unlimited "browsing" but not sure about unlimited usage totally given the traffic management on p2p. Should results in lots of arguments between suppliers and small print in ads.
Good analysis here from Thinkbroadband.

They would still be able to claim unlimited due to this
The legitimate user incurs no additional charge or suspension of service as a consequence of exceeding any usage threshold associated with an FUP, traffic management policy or the like.
BT state quite clearly that P2P is traffic managed. Using P2P does not lead to a suspension of service.

Factory Unlocked or not - and the way forward..

Okay, so a few weeks ago I bought two iPhone 5’s while on vacation in Dubai. We moved to the middle east earlier this year and I was aware of certain phones not having facetime on them and all that, so anyway, went to a store and the guy said they were factory unlocked iphone 5’s. Paid the man, went home.
Yes I should have bought them from the official Apple store and all that but hear me out. This is where my doubts about one of the phone’s being “official factory unlocked” stem from.. The black one, mine, is probably factory unlocked as I can see the cellular data settings and everything. In the white one, my wife’s phone, I can’t see the cellular data settings, and so had to Google the alternative way of setting up the APN, etc. Did it through a website that does it for you, and voila! Data was working just fine for her as well. (btw just to add, her phone says LTE on/off mine says 3G on/off – we live in Bahrain and there’s no 4G for iPhone here anyway as the networks don’t support it).
My question here now is.. with iOS 7 coming out – will we (more importantly, SHE) be able to upgrade to iOS 7 without having any issues? And more importantly, if the cellular data settings are still blocked, will websites such as unlockit help me get APN settings on iOS7 – or is this affected by which version of iOS you’re using etc.
These are our first iPhones, and we’re loving them – we could well go and try to get her phone changed because a friend knows the store’s owner. But if there won’t be anything to worry about in the future, should we just chill? It will be a mini-headache sending it through courier and asking him to either give us the money or give us a factory unlocked phone or whatever. In either case, when the hew iPhone comes out we will definitely be pre-ordering and getting it delivered to our London address.
Any help would be appreciated guys!
Expert advice needed please. Thank you for your time!

There is no Apple presence in Bahrain for iPhones ,support is carrier based

New mail server, software, changing from POP to IMAP. Advice / Thoughts?

David Wiese wrote:
just out of curiosity why are you doing imap for 80 users? Was this for cost reasons?
another way is to use hosted exchange, $4/ month per mailbox
That was my thought too...
Is there no Office licencing? Even if you want to avoid Exchange, MDaemon with the Outlook Connector and ActiveSync is a far more pleasant experience than IMAP and Thunderbird.
Is all email currently stored in the POP mailbox, or is it pulled to PST files?
I would investigate using something like MigrationWiz to copy the data between the two servers, so all you have to worry about it updating the server details in the clients. Being clever with DNS, depending on the current setup, might avoid having to do even that.

Hi all.This won’t be short…..It seems I can’t find a good guide to migrating to a new non-exchange server solution and go from POP to IMAP in the process. I currently have approximately 80 email users in one location on a UTM device now functioning as email server only that must be retired. The mail service is the basic of all basic. After a lengthy trial, I have purchased Alt-N's mDaemon mail server. My end goal is to have everyone using IMAP (and eventually all the bells and whistles). The current production email server is mail.example.COM with WAN ip of xx.xxx.xxx.66My staged mDaemon server is mail.example.XYZ with WAN ip of xx.xxx.xxx.86 It is now on the same Lan with mail routing correctly to .XYZ. It is AD integrated and everything works for XYZ independently of .COM just nicely. I have tested everything through and all is good...

Unable to capture DV to FCE, apple support told me a PC is the way forward!

Hi there
I recently bought an apple imac with a view to editing DV footage taken previously.
I had captured some of these tapes on to a PC before buying an imac. These files I was able to edit on FCE and imovie (once I had transferred them from the pc hard drive). HOWEVER although I could control my DV camera through imovie and FCE none of my old DV tapes could be captured to the imac. An error message states that the frame rate is incorrect.
I have apple care protection and have spent ages trying to get support for this only to be told by apple support that FCE and imovie will not capture my old DV tapes! The support person told me that I should go back to a PC if I want to do the job properly!
Unfortunately I have just spent thousands on this very nice looking imac (and FCE) that is apparently unable to do the most basic capturing. Does anybody have any ideas (other than going back to pc) for getting my DV footage captured?
Needles to say I have found all this incredibly frustrating as a new apple user. Are these sorts of issues common to imacs?
cheers
rupert

Hey Rich,
thanks for getting back to me,
I shot tape previously (in 2000) on a sony mini DV camcorder set to SP. I have since bought a new sony mini DV camcorder (DCR-HC40 NTSC).
With the new camera and a PC I was able to capture my 2000 tapes and edit them. I was also able to edit the earlier footage I had transffered from my PC hard drive to the i-mac on i-movie and FCE.
Unfortunatley everytime I have tried to capture my old tapes directly onto the i-mac I have had the message "preview disabled" from FCE and the following from i-movie:
"The camera is sending half-sized frames, which iMovie can’t accept. Check your camera’s record mode (this is the setting that affects recording quality, which determines the total recording time on a tape). The mode must be set to “SP” or “LP.” If that doesn't help, try removing all the cables and batteries from the camera, wait a minute, replace them, and then reset the date, time, and record mode."
I have spent weeks on the support site and found a thread that recommended re-installing quicktime etc but nothing has worked.
I connect to the i-mac via firewire and am able to control the camera, capture my newly recorded miniDV's (so it is not a problem with the proprietary software application etc) but nothing seems to work for my old tapes.
Apple support told me that apple doesn't do older miniDV's and that a pc would be the only way I could capture my tapes. I couldn't believe it! Unfortuatley I no longer have access to my old pc.
Any ideas? Is there any other way of getting DV onto my i-mac?
And thanks for your interest in my problem here

A New Driver - the Way Forward ...

Hi Guys,
I wonder if someone can point me in the right direction?
I want to write a Labview driver for a custom signal conditioning system.
This system provides programmable gains, excitation control etc for various
inputs.
I am leaning towards a IVI-C driver - the docs seem to be pretty useful for
this approach.
Does this sound sensible?
Is IVI over-the-top (interchangeability is not a very high priority in this
case) - is there a better/easier way to provide a Labview driver?
I have many years experience in low and high level C/C++/VB etc, so I am
happy to follow most language/programming models.
Thanks,
Andy
