HT3258 I have an older version of software I want to install but I get the "Classic environment not supported". I see some information regarding ACGI and Apache software but it is not in my Utilities file. What to do?

I have a Macbook Pro 15" with Mountian Lion. I want to install an older game but I get the "Classic environment not supported" error. I see some reference to ACGI and Apache software that may solve the problem but it is not in my Utilities file. What to do??

The Classic game Risk II running in Sheepshaver on my Lion Mac Mini:

Here is a post I recently assembled for another similar question:
With the newer Intel Macs, you have to run a Classic emulator such as SheepShaver, which requires you to extract the Mac ROMs from your older Classic Mac and then install Mac OS 9.
A related program is Chubby Bunny, which comes bundled with all of that included (google the term "Classic-On-Intel v 4.0.1 chubby bunny").

Was just told some interesting information regarding preorder and full retail price by a VZW Rep

Just got off the phone with a rep on 611 who confirmed if you preorder you will receive the phone ON OR BEFORE the 10th. Now for those looking to purchase at full retail price, you will have to wait until the 28th. Don't shoot the messenger

VZWSWAG wrote:
I am only telling you all what i was told by this one rep. Why would I make this up? I personally do not even believe it. At first the rep told me that if you preorder you wont get it until the 28th, then i went back and forth with her saying how that sounds rediculous. Eventually she spoke to someone else (i think supervisor) and corrected herself by saying if you want to pay full retail you have to wait until the 28th.
Ok I don't think you're making it up. Sorry. It's not anyones fault here that they're being misinformed. Like you said you don't believe it either. But, cmon it's ridiculous.
Anyone here ever work as a CSR? I have for a U.S. major bank about 6 years ago. Here's how it works:
In fairness it's not REALLY the CSR's fault...
Any time there is some type of new promotion, thye herd in groups of CSR's at a time and they have a real brief meeting ("training") which barely covers the basics. They do this for 2 reasons.
1- Time is money and they lose money having reps off the phones. They cover the basics have a quick Q&A and then get them back to work. They are given, in reality, inadequate info. Basically just enough to be dangerous. LOL. This is TRUE!
2- The corporate suits purposely do not give the CSR's all the info. They don't want them spilling the beans and causing problems. Which in turn can cause even more problems.
Now that causes THIS to happen:
A customer calls in about the new promotion. They ask a specific question the CSR has no clue about how to answer. CSR does not want to sound stupid and literally just flubs his way through it rather than saying "I don't know".
Every CSR within hearing range, hears what that CSR just said and thinks "Cool", they start telling the same **bleep** to customers. By the end of the day EVERYONE believes it is FACT and uses it. Over time like any other tall tale or rumor it takes on a life of it's own.
Floor supervisors are in the same boat. They have maybe a TINY bit more info but, not much at all. They're asked a question they panic and literally make something up for the CSR to feed the customer.
It's actually an insane environment. I'm glad I don't have to do it any more. But, the above scenarios I described happen every single minute of the day.
And then you have the really unethical sales reps who will slam you into an upgrade or "after-sale" to inflate his/her stats. That doesn't happen as much as it used to but, still does.
If you want the real answers, asked to be transfered to the supervisors, supervisor. Or possibly Retention.

Functional and structural testing

Hello,
I would appreciate some information about functional and structural (white box and black box testing).
Could someone please give a brief example of each or any other information or tell me if the following 2 paragraphs make sense:
Structural testing is testing individual bits of code e.g. testing if a array holds the right information. Not sure how I would go about doing this tho, example would help.
Functional testing is more simple as this involves valid or invalid input into the program e.g. if a program compares 2 ages input by the user then functional tests would involve entering non valid ages (ages out of range and the wrong format) or correct ages.
Thanks anyone

Regarding Rules, Functions and Risks

Hello,
1. Does SAP provide a standard ruleset for SoD? Does it come with the AC 5.3 .SCA?
2. What is the relation between Rules, Risks, Functions and Business Process?
Thanks.

Hi Gautam,
Just to make it more explanatory, lets take few examples for each entity:
1. Business Process (BP):
It can be a department, group or an independent functional unit in an organization. E.g Finance or HR or Material Management.
2. Function:
It can be a set of activites or say set of simlilar activities in a BP. E.g in SAP Security - SU01 and PFCG combination can be termed as a function - "User and role maintenence" .
3. Risk:
It can be a combination of 2 or more functions which when given to a single user, can be harmful to the organization.
4. Rule:
It is generated from Risks automatically. E.g if A and B are 2 funtions in a risk R, such that:
A has transactions X and Y and
B has transactions M and N
so there can be multiple rules generated here for Risk R , with the combinations like X and M rule, X and N rule, Y and M rule, Y and N rule etc.
5. Ruleset:
As the name suggest, is a set of Rules, generated from Risks. Two Rulesets may contain same, similar or dissimilar risks, based on the lanscape for which you want to use the ruleset. E.g you might have ruleset R1 having Risks 1 to N in your development system and you might have ruleset R 2 having Risks 1 to M in your Production system.
Hope this makes it a bit clearer to you know. For more dependencies within these entities and how they behave with eah other, I would suggest if you create each of them and then observe their linkages. The config guide from SAP would be more than enough for this purpose.

Hersh.

Regarding Procedures and functions

can we pass a cursor,table or ref cursor to a procedure and functions and can a function return cursor,table or ref cursor to a procedure and functions?please if possible give some examples with explanations
thanks in advance..

Hi,
The definition for a Procedure or Function can be edited by selecting Edit from the drop-down menu for the Procedure/Function object in the Browser.
The definition can then be edited as text, and so Table, REF CURSOR, ... parameters or return types can be added.
(After completing the edit, select Save from the File menu, or alternatively Close the tab displaying the definition and select Yes to the Save Changes dialog.)
The Oracle Database PL/SQL Language Reference documentation contains some examples of Procedure and Function definitions.

Question Regarding Name and Address Clensing

Hello,
Can someone help me with understanding the Name and Address Cleansing operatior of OWB.
I am currently using OWB Client 9.2.0.2.8
Before using the Name and Address operator should you do any configuration for it to function? Based on the viewlet which i tried there were no configuration steps and once i finished doing the steps in the demo there were rows inserted but with *null data.
Is Trillium packaged with the OWB or should you still purchase it?
Thank You

Thank you for the information Mark, I still have another question.
Here is my situation:
I have been tasked to integrate a 3rd party DQ ventor to the name and address cleansing operator of OWB. In relation to that I have downloaded the OracleAdaptorKit provided by Oracle for such development. The problem is I still dont really understand how the whole thing works. My understanding is that once you use the Name and Address operator in a Map and execute the it OWB will call the Name and Address Server which will trigger the Adaptor (which should be created by the vendor or me in this case) that will do the Parse() function based on the libraries of the 3rd party DQ vendor. Is my understanding correct?
My second question is on how will the Name and Address Engine call the Adaptor(JAVA applet?) which will use the Parse() function and what are the values that Name and Address Engine throw to the Adaptor? And how will you know if you have successfully created a connection between the Name and Address Engine and the Adaptor you created?
My third question is in regards to the components to be created. So given that the Name and Address Engine is by default installed with OWB does that mean that the only thing left to program are the Adaptor and Libraries?
I hope you can help me, Thank You

Question regarding Dashboard and column prompt

My question regarding Dashboard and column prompt:
1) Dashboard prompt usually work with only for columns which are in subject area. In my report I've created some of the columns which are based on other columns. Like I've daysNumber column that is based on two other columns, as it calculates the difference of two dates. When I create dashboard prompt I can't find this column there. I need to make a prompt on this column.
2)For one of the column I've only two values 1 and 0. When I create prompt for this column, is it possible that in drop down list It shows 'Yes' for 1 and 'No' for 0 and still filter the request??

Hi Toony,...
I think there was another way of doing this...
In the dashboard prompt go to Show option > select SQL Results from dropdown.
There you need to write your Logical SQL like...
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN PERIODS.YEAR ELSE difference of date functionality END FROM SubjectAreaName
Here.. Periods.Year is the column which is already exists in repository's presentation layer..
and difference of date functionality is the code or formula of column which you want to show in drop-down...
Also write the CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN PERIODS.YEAR ELSE difference of date functionality END code in fx of that prompt.
I think it helps you in doing this..
Just check and inform me if it works...
Thanks & Regards

Edited by: vinay kumar on Aug 13, 2008 8:26 AM

Hi,
You can use BPS and Implement IP parallely so you can use both the tools simultaniously.
Even all the BPS variables can be used in IP.
Need to build all the data flow from the scratch.
Need to understand what stands for what comparing BPS and IP.
Instead of Function Module based on ABAP in BPS we have Function Types based on ABAP OO concept.

OWB bugs, missing functionality and the future of OWB

I'm working with OWB for some time now and there are a lot of rough edges to discover. Functionality and stability leave a lot to be desired. Here's a small and incomplete list of things that annoy me:
Some annoying OWB bugs (OWB 10g 10.1.0.2.0):
- The debugger doesn't display the output parameters of procedures called in pre-mapping processes (displays nothing, treats values as NULL). The mapping itself works fine though.
- When calling selfmade functions within an expression OWB precedes the function call with a constant "Functions." which prevents the function from being executed and results in an error message
- Occasionally OWB cannot open mappings and displays an error message (null pointer exception). In this case the mapping cannot be opened anymore.
- Occasionally when executing mappings OWB doesn't remember changes in mappings even when the changes were committed and deployed
- When using aggregators in mappings OWB scrambles the order of the output attributes
- The deployment of mappings sometimes doesn't work. After n retries it works without having changed anything in the mapping
- When recreating an external table directly after dropping the table OWB recreates the external table but always displays both an error message and a success message.
- In Key Lookups the screen always gets garbled when selecting an attribute as a join condition
- Usage of constants results in aborts in the debugger
- When you reconcile a table used in a key lookup the lookup condition sometimes changes. OWB seems to remember only the position of the lookup condition attribute but not the name.
- In the process of validating a mapping often changes in the mapping get lost and errors occur like 'Internal Errors' or 'Null Pointer Exceptions'.
- When you save the definition of external tables OWB always adds 2 whitespace columns to the beginning of all the lines following 'ORGANISATION EXTERNAL'. If you save a lot of external table definitions you get files with hundreds of leading whitespaces.
Poor or missing functionality:
- No logging on the level of single records possible. I'd like the possibility to see the status of each single record in each operator like using 'verbose data' in PowerCenter
- The order of the attributes cannot be changed. This really pisses me off expecially if operators like the aggregator scramble the order of attributes.
- No variables in expressions possible
- Almost unusable lookup functionality (no cascading lookups, no lookup overrides, no unconnected lookups, only equal condition in key lookups)
- No SQL overrides in soruces possible
- No mapplets, shared containers or any kind a reusable transformations
- No overview functionality for mappings. Often it's very hard to find a leftover operator in a big mapping.
- No copy function for attributes
- Printing functionality is completely useless
- No documentation functionality for mappings (reports)
- Debugger itself needs debugging
- It's very difficult to mark connections between attributes of different operations. It's almost impossible to mark a group of connections without marking connections you don't want to mark.
I really wonder which of the above bugs and mssing functionality 'Paris' will address. From what I read about 'Paris' not many if at all. If Oracle really wants to be a competitor (with regard to functionality) to Informatica, IBM/Ascential etc. they have a whole lot of work to do or purchase Informatica or another of the leading etl tool
vendors.
What do you think about OWB? Will it be a competitor for the leading etl tools or just a cheap database add on and become widely used like SAB BW not for reasons of technology or functionality but because it's cheap?
Looking forward to your opinions.
Jörg Menker

Thanks to you two for entertaining my thoughts so far. Let me respond to you latest comments.
Okay, lets not argue which one is better.. when a tool is there .. then there are some reasons to be there...But the points raised by Jorg and me are really very annoying. Overall I agree with both yours and Jorg's points (and I did not think it was an argument...merely sharing our observations with each other (;^)
The OWB tool is not as mature as Informatica. However, Informatica has no foothold in the database engine itself and as I mentioned earlier, is still "on the outside looking in..." The efficiency and power of set-based activity versus row-based activity is substantial.
Looking at it from another way lets take a look at Microstrategy as a way of observing a technical strategy for product development. Microstrategy focused on the internals (the engine) and developed it into the "heavy-lifting" tool in the industry. It did this primarily by leveraging the power of the backend...the database and the hosting server. For sheer brute force, it was champion of the day. It was less concerned with the pretty presentation and more concerned with getting the data out of the back-end so the user didn't have to sit there for a day and wait. Now they have begun to focus on the presentation part.
Likewise this seems to be the strategy that Oracle has used for OWB. It is designed around the database engine and leverages the power of the database to do its work. Informatica (probably because it needs to be all things to all people) has tended to view the technical offerings of the database engine as a secondary consideration in its architectural approach and has probably been forced to do so more now that Oracle has put themselves in direct competition with Informatica. To do otherwise would make their product too complex to maintain and more vendor-specific.
I am into the third data warehousing/data migration project and my previous two have been on Informatica (3 years on it).I respect your experience and your opinions...you are not a first timer. The tasks we have both had to solve and how we solved them with these tools are not necessarily the same. Could be similar in instances; could be quite different.
So the general tendency is to evaluate the tool and try to see how things that were needed to be done in my previous projects can be done with this tool. I am afraid to say .. I am still not sure how these can be implemented in OWB. The points raised by us are probably the fall out of this deficiency.One observation that I would make is that in my experience, calls to the procedural language in the database engine have tended to perform very poorly with Informatica. Informatica's scripting language is week. Therefore, if you do not have direct usability of a good, strong procedural language to tackle some complicated tasks, then you will be in a pickle when the solution is not well suited to a relational-based approach. Informatica wants you to do most things outside of the database (in the map primarily). It is how you implement the transformation logic. OWB is built entirely around the relational, procedural, and ETL components in the Oracle database engine. That is what the tool is all about.
If cost is the major factor for deciding a tool then OWB stands far ahead...Depends entirely on the client and the situation. I have implemented solutions for large companies and small companies. I don't use a table saw to cut cake and I don't use a pin knife to fall trees. Right tool for the right job.
...thats what most managers do .. without even looking how in turn by selecting such a tool they make the life tough for the developers.Been there many times. Few non-technical managers understand the process of tool evaluation and selection and the value a good process adds to the project. Nor do they understand the implications of making a bad choice (cost, productivity, maintainability).
The functionality of OWB stands way below Informatica.If you are primarily a GUI-based implementer that is true. However, I have often found that when I have been brought in to fix performance problems with Informatica implementations that the primary problem is usually with the way that the developer implemented it. Too often I have found that the developer understands how to implement logic in the GUI component (the Designer/Maps and Sessions) with a complete lack of understanding of how all this activity will impact load performance (they don't understand how the database engine works.) For example, a strong feature in Informatica is the ability to override the default SQL statement generated by Informatica. This was a smart design decision on Informatica's part. I have frequently had to go into the "code" and fix bad joins, split up complex operations, and rip out convoluted logic to get the maps to perform within a reasonable load window. Too often these developers are only viewing the problem through the "window" of the tool. They are not stepping back and look at the problem in the context of the overall architecture. In part Informatica forces them to do this. Another possible factor is they probably don't know better.
"One tool...one solution"
Microstrategy until recently had been suffering from that same condition of not allowing the developer to create the actual query). OWB engineers need to rethink their strategy on overriding the SQL.
The functionality of OWB stands way below Informatica.In some ways yes. If you do a head-to-head comparison of the GUI then yes. In other ways OWB is better (Informatica does not measure up when you compare it with all of the architectural features that the Oracle database engine offers). They need to fix the bugs and annoyances though.
.. but even the GUI of Informatica is better than OWB and gives the developer some satisfaction of working in it.Believe me I feel your pain. On the other hand, I have suffered from Informatica bugs. Ever do a port from one database eingine to another just to have it convert everything into multi-byte? Ever have it re-define your maps to parallel processing threads when you didn't ask it to?
Looking at the technical side of things I can give you one fine example ... there is no function in Oracle doing to_integer (to_number is there) but Informatica does that ... Hmm-m-m...sorry, I don't get the point.
The style of ETL approach of Informatica is far more appealing.I find it unnecessarily over-engineered.
OWB has two advantages : It is basically free of cost and it has a big brother in Oracle.
It is basically free of cost...When you are another "Microsoft", you can throw your weight around. The message for Informatica is "don't bite the hand that feeds you." Bad decisions at the top.

Dan Phillips

Hi Keith, sorry for my late reply.
Surely I am able to connect to the help function when Icontact the website
of AdobeLR5.The problem is as follows,
When I open LR5 on my computer and work with it and try to open the help
function in the software, I don't get it.
When I bought the CD I was naiv enough to believe that I get an independent
working software. I learned in the meantime, that the seller does not allow
to work with, without being connected to them.
I don't believe that I am paranoid, but I like to buy something and use it
without to inform the supplier that I do it. Otherwise I could have bought
the license fpr LR5 via internet.
