In Numbers, is there a way to limit the number of characters in a cell?

Hi,
New to communities, so I apologize for the length of this question.
I have exported a spreadsheet from one source and am opening it using Numbers. In one column - lets say column C - the list contains 35 characters.
I am trying to import this spreadsheet into another program which will only allow 30 characters to be in column C.
I have been unable to find a way to limit column C to 30 characters so I am able to import it into the new program. The field will contain numbers and letters.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

ricochetron,
you can place Jerry's suggested formula in any column convenient for you. If column D is unused then do the following:
enter the fomula in cell D1. Shorthand for this is:
D1=left(C1, 30)
then hit the enter key.
now select D1 and copy using the menu item "Edit > Copy". Now select the whole column by clicking the letter "D" in the column reference tab:
now paste using the menu item "Edit > Paste" to fill the formula to every selected cell in the column:
You can now copy the limited text from column D and paste as needed. If you paste to another cell or table you should use the menu item "Edit > Paste Values"

Is there any way to limit the number of Threads running in Application(JVM)

Hello all,
is there any way to limit the number of Threads running in Application(JVM)?
how to ensure that only 100 Threads are running in an Application?
Thanks
Mohamed Javeed

You should definitely use a thread pool for this. You can specify maximum number of threads that can be run. Be note that the thread pool will only limit the number of threads that are submitted to it. So donot call "Thread"s start() method to start thread on your own. Submit it to the pool. To know more, study about executor service and thread pool creation. Actually it will not be more than 20 line code for a class and you might need maximum of 2 such classes, one for threadPool and other one for rejection handler (if you want).
Just choose the queue used carefully, you just have to pass it as a parameter to the pool.
You should use "Bounded" queue for limiting threads, but also be careful in using queues like SynchronizedQueue as the queue will execute immediately the threads submitted to it if maximum number of threads have not been running. Otherwise it will reject it and you should use rejection handler. So if your pool has a synchronized queue of size 100, if you submit 101th thread, it will be rejected and is not executed.
If you want some kind of waiting mechanism, use something like LinkedBlockingQueue. What this will do is even if you want 100 threads, you can specify the queue's size to be 1000, so that you can submit 1000 threads, only 100 will run at a time and the remaining will wait in the queue. They will be executed when each thread already executing will complete. Rejection occurs only when the queue oveflows.

Is there a way to Limit the number of guest accounts a Sponsor can create from the sponsor portal?

Hello,
I am trying to find a way to limit the number of guest accounts a Sponsor can create from the portal. I am running ISE 1.2 and I am finding it difficult to limit the number of guests a sponsor can create.

Interesting feature that unfortunately is currently not possible. I also don't think this is a feature that will be offered in the highly anticipated v1.3. I would recommend that you reach to your Cisco team and request this feature.
Thank you for rating helpful posts!

Is there any way to limit the number of RFC calls from xMII to SAP R/3

Hi All!
I wanted to know whether the number of simultaneous RFC connections made from xMII to SAP R/3 system can be controlled in any way. Suppose we have a scenario wherein some million Sales Orders or Production Orders are to be updated in SAP R/3 from xMII in a short span of time. For all these updations to take place, multiple RFC calls will be established from xMII to SAP at the same time. This will increase the load on the SAP R/3 system and affect performance of the SAP R/3 system. Is there any check on xMII side to limit the number of RFC calls that can be made to SAP R/3 system?
Regards
Anupam

Anupam,
If you are using 11.5 just keep in mind that the JCO connection points to a single application server (based upon the SAP Server alias connection settings), but the traffic itself to make a BAPI request is effectively the same as any client user traffic. There will obviously be limitations on performance and throughput, with network and server constraints added to the number and size of the R/3 requests, but there is no magic formula to plug-in because of all of these variables.
If you are using 12.0 (or plan to migrate when it goes GA) then taking advantage of the JRA (java resource adapter) and the associated application server pooling that it offers on the NetWeaver side of things will greatly help you in the throughput capacity.
If you have put some of your xMII application into either test or productive use and are running into issues then I would highly recommend entering the specifics into the customer / partner support portal so that they can help you through any associated problems.

Is there any way to limit the number of times that a PDF can be opened?

I run a small publishing company and we want to provide exam copies of our books to professors. At present our exam copies have the words EXAM COPY as a water mark on every page and we've also made the files so that they can't be printed or easily copied. However, we'd like to also restrict these PDFs so that they can only be opened 5 times. I've read about FileOpen but that approach seems a bit more complex than needed. Is there any other way to restrict the number of times that a PDF file can be opened once it is downloaded? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

DRM soltions like FileOpen are your best bet for PDFs. Others include Adobe's LiveCycle Rights Managment, LockLizard, Armjisoft PDF Security OwnerGuard, etc.
They all work and are priced differently, but there's really nothing for what you want to do that is both simpler and secure.

Is there a way to limit the number of allowed sessions (or limit based on load) to iWS, and redirect to an error page when this number is reached?

We have a setup with two iWS servers infront of an iAS cluster and want to give a 'nice' error message upfront, instead of running the backend servers to the limit affecting the overall user experience.

Typically a server has a settable parameter to limit concurrent connections. Check the server's documentation.

Is there a way to limit the frequency of the "autosaving drafts" feature in Mac Mail on Lion?

Using Mail Version 5.0 (1244.2/1244.3)
On MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.1
Wondering if Is there a way to limit the frequency of the "autosaving drafts" feature in Mac Mail on Lion?
Looked all thru preferences and googled the crap out of this and can't seem to find the answer I want.
Basically, I have my mailbox behaviors set up exactly the way I want them. (ie deleted messages get saved to my "Trash" folder on the server) I do not think I should have to change them, but because of the autosave feature saving almost every 3 characters typed, I have an over abundance of versions saved in my Trash folder. This problem would be solved were there a preference somewhere I could select to save drafts "manually only" or "opened messages save when quitting" or something along those lines.
Is this a preference setting already that I am missing?
I would settle for a rule, just not sure what perameters should be set for this to work.

My Gmail downloads only small embedded pictures. For videos and other big files I have to tap to download and this is a temp download. So you don't have any problem I thing. You can Delete the account-restart-add account back from time to time.

Is there a way to limit the size of the page preview cache?

Overall I think that the page preview function of Safari is really great. But I noticed today that Safari was becoming slow to close down, and I cleared the page previews with the "Reset Safari" function, and over 1 GB of cache was cleared up. I had no idea that that much disk space could be taken up by the page previews.
Is there a way to limit the size of the Safari Page Preview cache to, say, 500MB?

Sorry, you can't limit the size of that item; you can either delete it, or disable it completely (which will also disable Top Sites and Cover Flow for Safari).

*Is there any way to limit the Chart Bar size dynamically?*

Hi
I have selected the Marker size as Medium for my Bar chart.
Bar chart bar showing too big when there is only one bar.
Is there any way to limit the bar size dynamically?
Thank you

hi Ruwan,
Don is correct in that there is no option in the chart design component to do this.
what you can do though (i know it is a pain) is to
1) create a new chart in a new section with a narrower bar using the chart options dialogue
2) create a conditional suppression formula for the new section and the old chart section based on the value returned in the Show Value for the chart
i have created a request for a charting overhaul [here |https://ideas.sap.com/community/products_and_solutions/crystalreports;jsessionid=B3E2E9F6A6CC9C9F5321659382A91855.node0]in the ideas place which includes a solution for this particular issue. please feel free to give it the thumbs up if you think that this is a worthwhile idea.

Is there a way to control the number of concurrent SMTP connections on Database Mail?

Las week Rackspace started controlling the number of concurrent SMTP connections and we are now getting the following message when we send as little as 15 messages at a time using Database Mail:
Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Service not available, closing transmission channel. The server response was: 4.7.0 smtp13.relay.dfw1a.emailsrvr.com Error: too many connections from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
We are using SQL Server 2005 and Windows 2003 and we have been doing this since 2006 with no problems
Is there a way to control the number of concurrent SMTP connections used by Database Mail or the Database Mail external executable DatabaseMail90.exe?

Hi rkohler,
Usually, we can use the Database Mail Configuration Wizard or the Database Mail stored procedures to determine the server name and port number for the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server . In the SMTP server points, we can set or increase the number
of concurrent connections.
There is similar issue about database email on SQL Server 2005, you can refer to the following post.

Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this?

Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this? I have been using PS touch for iPad for a few years and ALWAYS end up with a message that I have reached the maximum allowable number of layers. not to mention of course a simple tool for drawing straight lines which is a must. I may be missing something. I would have imagined that a respectable company like Adobe would have added over the years a small upgrade to solve these issues.
thanks.

Hi Patrick,
I'm working on a 30" monitor, so it's effectively 2560x1600. It only seems to be showing 2 tracks at a time, unless there is a preference or setting I'm missing that I can't seem to find in the documentation. Here is a screenshot:
I don't see any areas for expanding the timeline. I can scroll vertically in the timeline, but I can't seem to actually get a larger static vertical area for showing more tracks at once. The only vertical resizing widget is to expand the bottom or top panels, not the timeline.
Thanks,
Jason

That sounds like it will work. I'll try adding a client count
increment/decrement in the DLL initialize and terminate functions. This
should essentially perform the same tasks as the callback scheme you mention
above, no?
The reason I didn't think the 'client counting' scheme would work initially
was I mistakenly thought that the termination function would not get called
under Terminate conditions. Since Terminate conditions happen a LOT during
our initial debug of new UUT types, I didn't think that would be acceptable.
I forgot that lacing the terminate funciton in a cleanup step group, I can
force it to be called in Terminate conditions.

If you had find my iphone activated on the iphone itself before it was stolen, then you may be able to track it.
Otherwise, there is nothing you can do.
Sorry.
Report it to the police and your wireless carrier and change your password.
