The invoices are posted but blocked on perticular date.
Could anybody please help with what could be the reason for this block and how this can be avoided in the future?
Kindly throw some light about the tolerance limit set for the invoices.
Awaiting your valuable inputs as early as possible.
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi,
Your query is not clear.
Can you explain further when the invoices are posted and when the invoices are blocked.

Regarding OLE Excel

Hi gurus,
I am creating Excel file passing values to different sheets A,B,C from internal table.
But when my program is under execution, if i try open new excel sheet then datas are getting written into new sheet. so the out put of real excel sheet is different from as expected.
Do i have to maintain any property in OLE excel to avoid this situation. because i want to open some other excel file, while my program is executing with OLE excel creation.

Quite interesting situation....

Hey guys, so I have an older LGA 775 Intel processor for my desktop and I am having a little situation: Modern computer monitors do not work. I have tried using a workstation graphics card (Quadro 600) and I have tried using a consumer graphics card (NVidia
8400) along with DVI cables, VGA cables, mini display port, display port, cable adapters, and I have had no luck on my Dell 4k monitor I just purchased for Christmas nor my Plasma television. I have had some luck on my plasma but the only way I can see my
computer screen on my plasma is if I have my old monitor connected to the same video card. While my old monitor and my plasma are connected to the same video card, the plasma works, but as soon as I disconnect my older monitor, the plasma video output shuts
down.
I want to be able to just use my plasma as my display or my 4k monitor as my main display, but I am not having any luck. Yes, I have made sure all drivers and firmware's are up to date as well.
please provide me some feedback, I want to get this resolved!

Hi Andy,
Please refer to your graphics card manufacturers and make sure that Max resolution and GPU specification are supporting for 4K Resolutions.
4096x2160 (4K), 3840x2160 (4K UHD)
Meanwhile, since there are a few compatibility issues about NVIDIA software and DELL 4k monitors , please check the issues with manufacturers too.
About your plasma TV, I suppose you were using digital import such as HDMI port of your TV, when you use your TV as a monitor, the Plug and Play of your graphic card might be a problem. When your TV plug in, graphic card will read the best setting for that
device, but when the setting suddenly changed, the TV connection might be Interrupted.
Please try to set your TV to primary monitor in Windows screen resolution setting by right clicking desktop.
Boot your computer in this order:
Turn your TV on
Set your TV import channel to HDMI or any channel you want
Boot your computer
You might not change your screen settings when you are using your TV as primary monitor

One interesting situation when using hint

Hi All,
I have a SQL looks like
select
from
where column in (select /*+ unnest*/ column
from ....
where
I noticed that both unnest and no_unnest hint would lead to good execution plan. But if I removed the hint, the plan changed dramatically and this SQL would run much longer.
My question is unnest and no_unnest seem to be exculsive to each other. Why did both of them work here ?
Does anybody have some idea?
Best regards,
Leon

My question is unnest and no_unnest seem to be exculsive to each other. Why did both of them work here ?I would wonder the same thing.
I am thinking that the query transformations in each case - UNNEST, NO_UNNEST, and without both - are all different. One is probably more efficient than another but I can't tell from what you have posted so far.
What are the execution plans in each case?

An interesting situation

This is interesting. I'm attempting to download the
orafw firewire drivers for RedHat Linux. After going
through the download page and clicking on 'I Accept',
the next page that comes up basically says - Sorry, but
you may have received this in error if using a browser
other than Internet Explorer or Netscape. Neither of
these browsers currently ship with RedHat Linux. Well,
you get the picture - I really would like the download, but
I cannot download it with the OS that it is intended for.
Is there another location from which to download?
Thanks for your time.
Greg Mekkes

Update - found a machine with Netscape and tried again,
but the result is the same. Is there a direct ftp site?

Interesting Situation Between LR and Bridge

I was finishing up a job which I had started in ACR, and needed to create two sub-folders, so I did it in Bridge. When finished, I wanted to see how LR Slide Show looked, but when I opened that same folder of originals in LR, there was no sub-folders! I opened and closed LR, rechecked in Bridge and Explorere, there were indeed the sub-folders, but not in LR. To complicate matters, I opened a folder of images created long before I started the free trial, which included subfolders, and they were all present in LR.
The solution was to re-import the folder for which I created the subs. Seems rather silly, imo.If you have a folder that both LR and Bridge see, and create sub-folders in Bridge, LR will not see them.
While I am at it, why do I need to double import a set of images before LR will acknowledge their presence? You can imagine my frustration at the first day when I dutifully imported the images, after finding out I had to use the Import command, but still no files showing in LR. Only after clicking Import again on the same images did they show up in LR.
Look, I have a fistfull of folders in my G drive. Bridge finds them, just by finding the drive. LR doesn't.
It's beginning to look like a deal breaker for me, except I can really use the database. I need total bi directionality. No favored path between them, no one-way streets!

I still would like to know what happened to the .xmp files along the way. It's also interesting that there are two processes out there that, along the way, drop the .xmp's and one of them is a photoediting program!
Go figure!
Ok, after writing the above, I thought: "No, that's not right. Go back and check".
So I did, and things got worse! I picked, in LR, an image that hadn't been tweaked. It came up saying "The file named xxxx_258 is off line or missing". All the menus in develop are greyed out. Yet in Explorer, there it is, big as life and clicking on it opened it in ACR. Now the tutorial Geoff linked to in the basic tutorial made the point that the files are not in LR (they aren't in Bridge either) but they are in the OS. Just open Windows Explorer and you will see them (paraphrasing here). Yep, they are, Bridge finds it, it opens in ACR right from Explorer, but LR says it is off line.
Instant insanity!
And yes, the .xmp files are all there, from LR and from ACR. In Explorer.
But wait! There's more!
I found out that LR will NOT necessarily open a file which was tweaked in ACR and read the sidecar and apply it. What I did was to open another folder with no adjustments to any file present. I tweaked the first image in LR, the second in ACR. Sure enough, ACR did not see the LR with it's tweaks. It ignored the side car. However, this time, LR did not see the ACR file either. LR ignored the side car, just as ACR did. Yet, go back to an ACR file before installing LR, and LR reads those images and includes the side car.
Now these images, like all of them so far, have been uploaded from a card reader, using Bridge as the path. Might that have something to do with it? I'll try an upload using Explorer and see.
Steps to reproduce the findings:
Find a folder of images which haven't been tweaked. Open A in LR, make a noticeable adjustment. Open B next in ACR do the same thing. Compare the set first in LR and in Bridge.
Expectations: In LR, both A and B are seen adjusted. In Bridge , only B will look adjusted. Result, neither sees the other's adjustments.

Interesting article regarding Helix and Haswell

and some benchmarks at the end.
http://www.afr.com/f/free/technology/digitallife/lenovo_tiny_new_thinkpad_may_be_YqHFwrGrTODxvnDLhuy...

stso9daa, with respect, I think you're retort misses the mark. First of all, the credit given by the review was in my opinion thin cover for a very empty set of criticisms. Second, their critique centered around the strategy of the device's timing, and not around features or execution, which are issues that you are pointing to personally. Third, your complaints and the evidence to support them (citing first adopters' issues with device), are inconclusive and frankly not proven to be any substantially worse than when Apple releases new devices that contain flaws.
In fact the point of my gripe is that companies like Apple and Google are constantly releasing deeply flawed products, and yet are still given dozens of passes by the same types of "journalists".
The fact is that the media is prone to the same kind of group think that all humans are, and Apple and Google's success has been as much about marketing as substance. Companies like Lenovo and Microsoft may indeed drop the ball on releases, but they're not given the benefit of the doubt that their "cooler" competitors are.
I am not a Helix fanboy (yet). Mine sits unpacked after arriving today. I have yet to judge it on a personal basis. But as this article was about the device specs and strategy, it was deeply biased and used very cheap tactics to cover that bias. It was a fail.

Very interesting observation regarding speed

I have a Toshiba PCX2000 cable modem. Using the Express with this cable modem, I was downloading the OS 10.4.4 combo update at around 250-300kbs. I thought it would be faster than that. I then realized that the cable modem ethernet interface is 10base T. I was using a 100base T cable to connect them. So I switched the ethernet cable to 10 base native to the cable modem. Downloaded the file again and this time I was hitting well over 650 to 700kbs... much better.
I think its time to get a new modem with a faster ethernet interface to take full advantage of the Airport Express Wireless G speeds.

Did I understand correctly - that a "10BaseT" cable provided you with a faster connection than a "100BaseT" cable? The most likely reason for this happening - the "100BaseT" cable is bad. It could be either miswired or have a poor internal connection - all issues which can still allow it to work, pass a DC conductivity test, but provide poor performance.

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.

Interesting situation, iPhone 5 stolen.

Problem is I had just had this iPhone switched out with an old one because the screen on the old phone had shattered. This phone was on the restore screen, but I didnt have wifi. The phone was never restored. My questions are;
1.What could someone who came upon my phone do from this screen?
2.Could they wipe it and use it as their own?
3.Could they restore from their own apple ID with my sims card in there?
4.Would they have to restore my iCloud to move forward, meaning I could catch them on Find my iPhone?
Something I have conflicting opinions on, I called a couple of apple stores and spoke to geniuses, one said the serial number could only help if the theif tried to pawn it, one said I could call Verizon and give them the serial number, report it missing, and it would be rendered useless to the thief. Anyone know the truth?

1) Restore it
2) Yes
3) Yes. They would likely remove your SIM and replace with their own.
4) No. They can restore and use as their own.
You would have to Ask Verizon if they have ablacklist ofr stolen phones. They cannot render it useless, but they could put it on a list so that the thief could not sign up for Verizon wireless service using the stolen iphone.

What is the current situation regarding Presentation support with Lync Interoperability?

From what I understand this is currently only one way from Cisco to Lync, is this correct? If so is this in development?

Yes, it only works the one direction, presenting to Lync, not presenting from Lync.
The fix for the opposite direction is highly likely to be in development (by both Microsoft and Cisco), but it's unlikely that you'll get any official response in a public forum. If you're looking for roadmap, or future feature information, your best best is to have an NDA discussion with your local Cisco Account Team or Microsoft.

Interactive Report "in" filters do not maintain trailling spaces

I recently came across an interesting situation regarding interactive reports and "in" filters. When building the in list through the filter wizard, any trailing spaces in the column data is trimmed, which leads to inaccurate report results. This doesn't happen on a "=" filter, it seems limited to "in" filters.
I have an example here: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=39226:1
If you click on the "=" filter you'll see the one record with the trailing space is properly displayed. Clicking on the "in" filter and no records are displayed.
In my particular case, the trailing space shouldn't have been in the data, so I was able to update the table and the filters worked, but if the trailing space was important then the "in" behavior would be troublesome.
Tony

Well, considering the fact that there is a space in the data, and NOT in your in clause I bet, then what is the problem??
Thank you,

You know, I used to think that it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

Interesting test case

Hi,
I played a little on my test machine and get interesting results so if someone could explain me what happens here I would be grateful.
It is obvious that some data corruption happened but still interesting situation.
OS: Linux 32bit
Oracle: 10.2.0.2.0
TEST CASE:
1. Created tablespace and one table in that tablespace:
SQL> create tablespace test_tbs datafile '/oradata/tbs01.dbf' size 75M autoextend on next 10M maxsize 512M;
Tablespace created.
SQL> create table objtab tablespace test_tbs as select * from dba_objects where 1=2;
Table created.
2. Made two more copies of tbs01.dbf datafile:
SQL> !cp tbs01.dbf tbs02.dbf
SQL> !cp tbs01.dbf tbs03.dbf
3. Insert some rows into table objtab:
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> /
50417 rows created.
SQL> /
50417 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select count(*) from objtab;
COUNT(*)
151251
4. Deleted tbs01.dbf:
SQL> !rm tbs01.dbf
5. Insert still works:
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
6. Renamed tbs02.dbf to tbs01.dbf:
SQL> !mv tbs02.dbf tbs01.dbf
7. Inserted new rows:
SQL> select count(*) from objtab;
COUNT(*)
302502
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
8. Check size of datafile:
SQL> !du -hs tbs01.dbf
*96M tbs01.dbf*
SQL> select count(*) from objtab;
COUNT(*)
756255
9. Deleted datafile tbs01.dbf and renamed tbs03.dbf to tbs01.dbf:
SQL> !rm tbs01.dbf
SQL> !mv tbs03.dbf tbs01.dbf
10. Insert more rows and executed "alter system checkpoint":
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> alter system checkpoint;
System altered.
SQL> select count(*) from objtab;
COUNT(*)
907506
11. When I check the size of tbs01.dbf it is smaller then before despite of more rows I inserted. How come? Where are all this rows stored?
SQL> !du -hs tbs01.dbf
*86M tbs01.dbf*
12. Now try to offline tablespace and then I get errors in alertlog:
SQL> alter tablespace test_tbs offline normal;
alter tablespace test_tbs offline normal

Hi Uwe,
as I said before my intention was to understand behavior of Oracle and Linux in scenario like this.
I thought about what will happen if some Linux admin by mistake moves live datafile to another location and after 5-10 mins, when he realizes his mistake, he moves the datafile to old (original) location.
Will Oracle notice some errors in alert log? (In my test case I didn't receive any message in alert log)
How will I know (as a DBA) what was done with this datafile if Linux admin does not say anything to me?
Is any damage made to datbase ? (Probably)
etc...
When I am on my test machine I like to do all kind of stuff and try anything that comes on my mind. It isn't important to me if this scenario has any connection to real world problems. I enjoy doing this so I like to spend some of my time on this test cases.
Anyway thanks for your comment.
Regards,
Marko
