Interview Q: 'how did you handle delta'

Hi BW experts,
I've been asked this question in the interviews, 'how did you handle delta?' I know how to create delta. What is the right answer for this type of question? should I start explaining what/how we did in my previous company?
I'd appreciate and assign points, if someone can provide the answer for this.
Thanks,
Sam

The answer depends on what you have been talking about, I mean the previous discussion you had with the the interviewer. There are different way of handling delta... example:
1. The extractor itself handles delta and it send you the before and after image of the changes.
2. sometimes you load the data direclty to ODS and depending on the key you have in ods, the delta is being handled.
3. In somecases, you may not need to worry about handling delta at all (full load)... going back to the quesion you asked, that depends on the discussion you had with him/her.
thanks.

Professionals, how did you get your start?

I know there are many people on here who earn a living working as professionals. I was just curious, how did you get your start?
I plan to attend Ohio University this fall to major in video production within the Scripps School of Communication. OU is well known for their school of communication, but obviously just having a good name behind your major doesn't guarantee a job.
What did you do to make yourself more marketable to potential employers? Any other advice that you have to share?
Thanks in advance

I started out as an apprentice editor on a feature film. Got the job mainly because I fixed the director's assistant's computer during my interview. Knowing how to use the Avid (thanks to film school) helped too.
I started at the bottom, and worked my way up. Gaining knowledge as I went. Apprentice editor, to tape vault manager, to post coordinator, to assistant editor, to online editor, back to assistant, then to editor. 6 years from the day I started apprenticing until the day I started editing a broadcast show.
>What did you do to make yourself more marketable to potential employers?
Learned the ins and outs of the edit systems. I could troubleshoot them if they were broken, and knew the workflows for multiple shooting formats. Was able to make the decision on edit systems to use and workflows to employ when presented with the shooting format, and delivery specs. I learned all that from on the job training, and trolling the web for resources. And a lot of work on my own.
>Any other advice that you have to share?
Work your @$$ off! If you think the job is below you, and act that way, you won't get hired again. Don't think that you will start off right away as an editor, or DP, or director. Starting out as an assistant is a great way to learn all that you need to learn to perform your job. Because right out of film school, you don't know what you don't know. But work hard, be dependable, and you will get hired again and again.

How do you handle multiple at the same address?

My wife just got an iMac. She is using the Birthday feature in Address Book and iCal to track our friends and family birthdays and anniversaries.
Question:
How do you track it when multiple people are at the same address? For instance, our friends are a family of four, but they all live at the same address. Do you need to make a separate Address Book card for each of them, even the 1 year old baby? Or can you track multiple people in a single card with custom fields?
If you do need to make multiple cards, then how do you handle mailing lists? For instance, if I make separate cards for all four of them, how do I make sure I only send on Christmas card when I use my Mac to print labels?
Thanks for any advice.

This is really an issue that you're going to have to resolve yourself since Apple's address book isn't really built with this in mind - darn it. For me there are three scenarios. First, a singleton. No problem. Second a family for which all members share the same information - acquantences to whom I don't send birthday greetings. These get one card and I'll put in both (or all) their names in the first name field (as in Bob and Jean). If there are children, in the last name field I'll add 'and Ken' or 'and the kids'. Third, a family for which some fields are different - perhaps cell phone number, birthday, etc.
For mailing purposes, I create a holiday group and put the people I'll be sending cards to into the group.

Safari 5.1 now is garbled with many of the sites having lines on top of each other. Is any one else having that issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Thanks in advance for any help.

"Did you make the .psd file with a transparent background (checkerboard) in Photoshop? And when you placed it in AI did you choose the top option Convert Photoshop Layers to Objects?"
Yep, and it still didn't work.
But I figured what I did wrong: I was selecting both the text and the heart, and then I was doing the whole Object>Wrap Text>Make thing, as opposed to just selecting the heart and doing it. Once I did it, I moved the heart around on top of the text, and it "made room" for the pic, wrapping itself around the heart.
Thanks so much, and thanks A MILLION for being so patient.
Jeez, when can I get some textbook to learn all the intricacies of Illustrator?

How do you handle an incoming call while playing a game?

If you're playing a game on your iPhone, how do you handle an incoming call? A call will stop my app from running, but how do I save the state and restore it when the user starts the app again?
I have a bunch of objects on-screen and I need to record where they are so that the user doesn't lose the progress of their game.
I've looked through the SDK, but I can't see anything obvious. Any ideas?

I don't have a device to test with, but I suspect you'd want to save state in one of the UIApplicationDelegate callbacks:
applicationWillResignActive:
applicationWillTerminate:

I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer?

Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

How did you feel about your first mac?

As an early christmas present I received a 13 inch macbook air, 2GB RAM and 1.86GHz dual core cpu.
I am mostly used to PC laptops running linux or often I put solaris on them. I study Computer Science and have Asperger's Syndrome.
I got my mac as windows had too much bloatware and Linux was too unstable on my 64-bit hardware (needed 6 GiB RAM for large compilations). I was going to use the macbook air to take notes and some minor work between classes such as writing assembly subroutines, C and java. The primary use of this system was going to be as a personal assistant to have my calendar and files etc.
The system is so powerful with a full 12 hours battery life when working on the localhost that it can out-do a 2.4GHz dual core with 6 GiB RAM PC running any OS. This system is now used for all my work due to it's capabilities and portability. After only one week with a mac I dont know how I lived without one, and my carer says it has made me show immense improvements day-to-day. I am now tempted to learn Objective-C as well as how to use Cocoa from Python to be more efficient, especially after seeing the perfection in this system.
How did you feel when you got your first mac?

A related question might be, what did you think about the introduction of the IBM PC?
I had been designing digital systems and working with computers for a few years before the PC's introduction in 1981. The mainstay systems were 8 bit Z80 or 8085 machines running at 4 or 6 MHz. They ran CP/M with its command line interface. Although the maximum memory these systems could use was 64 MB, being a single user, single-task operating sytem, even the most resource-hungry programs (word processors for instance) ran very fast. CP/M itself needed only a few K.
Dual floppy disk systems were common, 180 KB per disk unless you had double sided floppies - 360 K. The A drive booted the operating system, after which you could insert a program disk. The B drive held your data. I had one machine with a whopping 5 MB hard disk - the C drive. I treated it with special reverence.
When rumors began about IBM producing its version of a desktop PC, many people including myself had grand expectations. Clearly Big Blue would emerge as the leader in desktop computers, since they had the resources to dictate what the standard would be. Everyone knew the others would be left in the dust. What kind of processor would it use? How much memory? Would it have a slimmed down version of the multiuser, multitasking operating system used in its System/34 minicomputer? Or would it resemble something that DEC used in its PDP-11?
Well, when the IBM PC came out in 1981, needless to say it was an enormous disappointment. It wasn't much better than anything else I had already been using for three or four years already, except the PC was much, much more expensive. No hard disk unless you wanted to buy an upgraded power supply (more $$$) and then all they offered was 10 MB. Forget about multiple users or multitasking. It didn't even have the equivalent of CP/M's PIP. The whole thing seemed... intentionally crippled. This was supposed to be the future of computing? In my opinion it was a major step backward. The XT that followed it offered only minimal improvements. I rejected the IBM PC as not cost effective and kept using my CP/M dinosaurs.
So, when Apple introduced the Macintosh a couple years later I finally saw, in the flesh, what I thought a computer ought to be. A totally bit mapped display, a robust 16/32 bit processor, real sound capability (everything before it could only "beep") and a true graphical UI. You could name a file anything you want, no 8x3 idiocy. +To this day+ Windows carries remnants of 8x3 filenames!
The Macintosh blew away the PC, if not in performance, in its potential. Unlike the "crippled" PC the Mac seemed limitless. This was cool. The Mac wasn't without limitations though - there was no good way to install a hard disk for instance - but for some reason I considered those limitations trivial and believed they would be overcome in the near future. I waited for the first "upgrade" - the "Fat Mac" with a whopping 512K memory. Half a megabyte!
I used that computer for several years, until the SE/30 came out, which I kept in service for about ten years. I ultimately expanded its memory to 32 MB while PC users were struggling with extended memory or expanded memory - you had to know which was which - to get beyond the PC's stupid 640K barrier. My 30 MB HD eventually grew small, but that was easily remedied with an external SCSI drive. Although the computer did everything I ever expected it to do, the Internet eventually made it functionally obsolete. It could run a browser (forget which one) but the black and white limitation made it marginally useful.
I eventually replaced it with an iMac, which echoed the original Mac's introduction with its forward-thinking design. The iMac opened up a new world in much the same way the original Macintosh did in 1984.
All my Macs still work.

That pretty much sums it up.
In retrospect, I believe that IBM and its marriage of convenience with Microsoft delayed the evolution of desktop computing a decade or more. I cringe whenever I think of the aggregate productivity loss and utter frustration shared by millions of PC / Windows devotees all these years.

Hello Sandylynn,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can connect the device with Bluetooth and make and receive calls but they dont hear you. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch - Apple Support
People can't hear you during a phone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

How did YOU learn Java?

Ok, two part question and a bunch of help for this Java newbie:
1. How did you learn Java? Online tutorials, books, discussions, a game, or a class? Be specific and think back to when you looked at a Java program and went "wtf?"
2. How do you keep up the new versions and therefore, useless older classes? I am reading the list on JDK 1.4 and just thinking, how could I remember all of this? If I'm used to programming one way, how can I relearn for every version?
If I could just get some honest answers and opinions, it'd be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Get this:
I originally 'learned' Java from "Java Made Simple" by Peter McBride. "Made Simple" is right: having finished this book, I had no idea that you could design your own classes for use by other classes! All my methods were static, I'd never written a constructor or instantiated one of my own classes, and my applications were all contained in a single class! I had only the vaguest notion of what "object oriented" meant, and I wondered why, for example, you had to say
Integer x = new Integer(4);
but not
int x = new int(4);
The book was intended, I think, for non-programmers who have been given some free space by their ISP to design a web page, and want to add some v. simple applets for decoration. Beware of books like this if you want to learn Java in a serious way.
For a more positive tip, I recommend Sun's very own online Java Tutorial. It covers all the key topics thoroughly and clearly, so at the end you have a good understanding of Java (More than just the basics, I'd say). If you want to move on to more advanced topics this tutorial will probably stand you in good stead (I can't be certain as I haven't moved on from here yet myself), but if you don't you will still be able to write good amateur programs.

SMTP traffic blocked by ISP how do you handle it ?

I have recently installed the OCFO 10.1.3.07. We were using POP account previously and i had 2 account created in outlook (one using my SMTP server as outgoing mail server and the 2nd using the user ISP SMTP server) to let users send emails from home by letting them select the account in outlook before sending their mail without having them to configure anything.
I am now stuck here. I tried replicating the same kind of setup using OCFO and a secondary IMAP4 account but it doesnt work. The mail stays in the outbox. The only way to send from their homes is to run the configuration wizard and change the SMTP server adress.
How do you handle this? am i taking the wrong approach here?
Thanks for any inputs.

For anyone who might be interested,
I have submited a SR to oracle support and the workaround to this issue is to Create a 2nd mail profile and configure the OCFO with a different SMTP server within that profile.

I can't connect to iTunes. I think it might be and issue with McAfee Security Center. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

I can't connect to iTunes. I think it might be an issue with McAfee Security Center - not sure. I am getting an error code of -42408. (Don't know what that means...) Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

Having the same issue after downloading the lastest version of itunes. Apple is going to lose me as a customer, if this keeps up with their software updates. They never seem to work.
Really, they should want me to be able to access their store. That's money out of their pocket.
Honestly, I don't know why Apple doesn't have a techie monitering their support threads trying to help fix issues.
I don't have McAffee, so that wouldn't be my issue. I guess, I'll keep checking back to see if anyone has figured anything out.
I can't seem to sync my ipad, now either. Ebay is sounding really good.
