Is 10g ready for primetime?

As the subject asks: I was wondering if Oracle 10g (enterprise edition) is ready for primetime? Specifically, I am looking for feedback on performance, HA (high-availability), and DR (disaster recovery).
Are people using it for 24x7, mission-critical applications?
Have all of the quirks been worked out?
How about some of the newer features, such as:
The lastest update of RAC?
AWS (Automatic Storage Management)? I have heard that it is slow.
Data Guard?

Yes, but as you are well aware, a test environment is TOTALLY different than a production environment (in terms of usage and performance). Have you stress-tested the system?We are in the same process, we are using one of our trading application for the same.
I dont remember properly, but, I heard a very big number of transaction processed on HP as benchmark for oracle 10g.
Now 10.1.0.4 and 10g release 2 in the market and I believe it is stablized now.

IPhoto 6 Not ready for primetime

I've had it with iPhoto 6!
The program seems to have been released before it was ready. . . I've had numerous problems that have caused me to lose work and have made my entire system seem unstable (hello spinning beach ball!).
The first problems occurred after a crash while making a calendar (something numerous other users have also experienced). All photos in my library taken over the past year disappeared. Although they were still in the iPhoto pictures folder, nothing could bring them back into the library. I tried rebuilding and everything else suggested on these boards.
I finally had to go to a backup and bring back my iPhoto 5 library. I reimported everything (after verifying the library and permissions) and thought that would cure the problems. But I was wrong.
After working for a two days on a photobook (I wouldn't dare try a calendar again). I opened iPhoto this morning and was prompted to rebuild my thumbnails as they needed to be "upgraded" to the new version. I declined. Afterwards, I had no photos in my library and my new book as well as two created in iPhoto 5 had also disappeared.
Yes, the photos themselves are still present in the Originals and Modified folders in the iPhoto library. I haven't lost them and could just recreate the library (if I trusted the program enough to spend the time doing so).
More importantly, I'm almost sure that I've lost my books (does anyone know where they might be stored or how to recover them?). I quit normally from the program last night after working on the book. Thankfully, I had created a .pdf file of it beforehand, so I can look at it.
Its just too much work to chase after a buggy, buggy, unstable program. I'm going back to iPhoto 5 and would advise others to do so, too -- at least until Apple fixes its mess.

Primetime? IMHO it's not even ready for naptime! How such an immature program ever got out of the crate is beyond me. I installed and ended up with only one photo of about 300 visible. I messed and messed, re-loaded my backup folder and on and on. Had up to quadruplicates...deletede xtras etc.
Then, when I scrolled up, the photos would disappear as I moved the cursor...shutdown and restart resulted in about 50 percent of photos visible. Nothing like making an 8x10 of a grayed-out exclamation point with a title..:~}
I'm gonna return it and wait...iPhoto5 please come back.

Quicktime X Not Ready For Primetime

Not only have I lost the export capabilities that I had with Quicktime Pro - which I use continuously to convert to AVI files for Stadium Animations - but Quicktime X would not play a large After Effects rendered file - 100 mb, 15984 px x 32 px. I re-rendered 5 times before I tried moving the .mov file to a machine that still had Quicktime 7 Pro on it and viola - it worked.
You need to FIX QUICKTIME X - FAST. There are a lot of professionals out here that rely on Pro and you've left them hanging.

Oh, I am patient and can listen to you rant, but strictly speaking rants are not allowed on the forums (terms of use, blah, blah) and it doesn't do any good (except to vent steam) ranting here.

Refactoring in 10.1.3 not ready for PrimeTime.

I have been trying to use the refactoring in JDEV to reorganize my project. Why does it drop the custom code in the impls and replace it with the JDEV generated ones. Every entity object so far has has its code replaced during the refactoring. Doing a preview on the package first show no errors?

Ok I am a little closer.
I had to add some new BCs to my project, so I created them using the new structure that I was trying to refactor. Once I had the new structure for the packages, I started with the associations
From the applications navigator I selected all of associations, right clicked and selected refactor->move. All refactored with no error.
Again from the applicatiosn navigator I selected all of my entity objects, right clicked and moved them to the new package. Everything worked correctly except for one association was still pointing to the old package. Pulling it up in the editor it all looked correct, I clicked apply then recompiled all , made my war file and pushed to server. So far no errors.
One Item of concern, if you have custom base classes (entityimpl, view, am , etc) refactoring them to a new location does not update the BC project properties base classes location. Nor to any views that have the class extends option selected. I had to edit these by hand, but not a show stopper.
Moving the Views and AM to a new package: The am configuration reset, my custom setting did not follow, ie the security setting of must, and using a Data source.
The DataBindings.cpx did not update, still pointed to the old package and threw an error when trying to run app, edited file by hand and it works now.
Serious Error when moving views to a new package:
This code in my patch.xml file became this:
<ListValidationBean
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/validation"
ResId="TypeCode_Rule_0"
OnAttribute="TypeCode"
OperandType="JBO" </Attribute>
<Attribute
Instead of looking like this:
<ListValidationBean
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/validation"
ResId="TypeCode_Rule_0"
OnAttribute="TypeCode"
OperandType="JBO"
ListValue="lmit.wots.model.views.lov.LookupsAllView.LookupId" >
</ListValidationBean>
Once I edited by hand, things worked correctly again.
I see that it is possible to refactor now, however you must use move instead of renaming the whole package, and you have to edit a few things by hand.
Thank you Shay for the help and attention to this matter.

So, IOS 8.1.1 still not ready for PrimeTime for iPad 2 and 3?

Not seeing hardly any positive responses from iPad 2 and 3 owners.
Of the responses I have seen iOS 8.1.1 is still not solving some major iPad 2 issues meaning,probably, not solving any iPad 3 issues, either.
Are the majority of iPad 2 and 3 owners even downloading and installing this recent update?
iPad 2 and 3 owners still shy about updating iOS 8 any further for fear of making their iPad operations worse?
Not seeing anything about whether this updates is really solving iPad 2 and 3 issues or not.
It's looking as if I will still have to continue waiting for upcoming updates until all of the issues on older iPads are straightened out by Apple.

iOS 8 and iOS 8.1.1 work fine on the iPad 3. I haven't had and problems.
The iOS 8.1.1 update is advertised as containing performance improvements for the iPad 2.

Is Podcast Producer ready for primetime?

Has anyone gotten Podcast Producer to work consistently? I only had it work once yesterday for one Blog. After that I was not able to connect to the server from Podcast Capture. Kept on getting an error related to unknown username or password. Even logged into the podcast server I couldn't access either the pcastadmin or pcastuser. Tried to delete the users and start over again. Still no success. Wiped the computer and started over again, I setup everything needed. Xgrid would only show its own controller and agent on the Podcast Producer Server. The agents showed they are connected to the XGrid in the XGrid system preference. Since 10.5 Server came out I have installed and tried to configure Podcast Producer at least 9 times. Finally this morning it would upload the video but it never went anywhere. The logs only showed that there were some permission errors on the external storage that is being used for sharing.
As most Mac software is not that hard to setup or use, Podcast Producer would seem to be that easy also. But I am disappointed that I am having this much problems with it. I guess we are going to have to wait until it is more mature before trying to use it in a production setting.

I did not have any of these issues.
I used a Workgroup setup with augmented OD records and then started using server admin to set up Podcast Producer. I followed the setup instruction in the manual step by step (including the dns server entry they suggest and using kerberos etc.) and it worked.
Once starting using it I encountered serveral(*) problems, but overall it is working.
1: Podcast Producer cannot upload to Wikis hosted on https://
2: Serveral Problems with sizes of the Intro and exit movie
3: Encodings cannot be changes due to lack of a tool for it
4: Using large video files (>20 Gb) brings arbitrary workflow failures
5: The encoding step (transforming in final video format) does not scale (cpus)
6: etc....

A/R process flow with notice of readiness for shipment

Hi,
I'm trying to implement the following A/R process flow:
- sales order
- xx% A/R down payment invoice
- notice of readiness for shipment
- incoming payment
- delivery
- A/R invoice (xx% down payment to be deducted here)
What's the best way to implement it?
Thanks
Fabio

Hi,
no, it's something different. It is because we want to be paid before shipping anything.
In more detail:
- we request a certain amount of down payment after the order and before starting production
- we request final payment before we deliver goods
Thanks
Fabio

V4.0 won't start. crashes each time. Had to go back to previous version. Version 4 is just not ready for general release, it is massively messed up. The online fixes here had no effect whatsoever. VERY DISSAPOINTED

tried automatic upgrade from within 3.6.. did not work..crashed upon re-start. tried remove program completely for a fresh install..same thing crash upon V4.0 start up....
Reinstalled 3.6.15...
4.0 is NOT READY for general release. Tried the fixes as suggested here, but they were useless and no help what-so-ever.
Very dissapointing, as I've been using Firefox as my only browser since it was introduced years ago.. this may be the end of the line....VERY DISSAPOINTED

Is Nokia ready for high end market?

It is the time of smartphones. With the introduction of 3G, distance and speed are not a barrier at all. Prediction is that, we will see a shift from laptop to smartphones, something we experienced a few years ago when laptop replaced desktops. So, is Nokia really ready for this competitve market? I believe they are still not ready looking at the way they support N series and E series.
My horror story started the day I purchased my N96, exactly 4 months back. I have been watching the developments of N95 and wanted to own one. Nokia released N96 by the time I made my decision. The problem started when I started seeing low memory errors. To my surprise, I noticed that Nokia uses phone memory for messages and N-gauge. Configuring "mass memory" as the storage for messages didn't solve the problem completely as it failed to move all messagesI searched for some file explorer kind of applications to explore and clean phone memory. I wish if Nokia had one. The solution given to me by Nokia support was to reset the phone. And, that cleared all data from my phone. So, here are a list of my pain points
- Does Nokia expect us to reset phone for every small issues. Note that, these are not just phones, but smart phones. More than contacts, I have my personal data, bookmarks, configurations, rss feeds, video feeds, radio stations, podcasts, GPS locations, blogging tools, applications etc. installed. Getting back the phone in the same state will take days after a hard reset. Do I agree if my laptop service center tells me that they have to format my harddisk everytime I take my laptop for servicing? Nokia Care's standard answer is to update the firmware (though I have the latest firmware) and reset the phone for any issues. I only wish if Nokia trained their technicians to handle smartphones.
- N96 reboots when I use GPS 50% of the times (when you use it for longer duration either with google map or Nokia map or sports tracker)
- Phone hangs when you move from wifi hotspot to other places while wifi scan is going on (I don't see this issue after upgrading to 12.043)
- There is no way to restart the phone when the phone hangs. You have to take out the battery and put it back.
- I get disconnected frequently when I'm on long calls. Though I can blame my network provider, I know its not completely because of them. My N70 doesn't have this problem.
- I have been having a long battle with Nokia support and bluetooth issues. I tried to use Motorola HT820 headset with this phone. Phone hangs or reboots 90% time when I turn on the headset. Nokia's standard answer is that Motorola HT820 is not a supported accessory. I agree, but is it acceptable if phone reboots or hangs when I tried to use an unsupported accessory? Only way to reboot the phone when it hangs is to remove the battery and place it back. Why can't they give a reset switch hidden somewhere if they can't write bugfree code (and nonone can). I have been doing this for the last one month while trying to convince Nokia that they have a problem with their bluetooth stack. I can prove that it happens only with A2DP profile. I have been using a plantronics bluetooth headset without any problem. I'm also using HT820 with my Nokia N70 which supports only HSP profile. Unfortunately, N96 doesn't provide an option to choose what profile you want to use when you pair a bluetooth headset. I could have listened to music from my laptop (A2DP) while the headset is connected with phone (HSP), and I don't miss any calls. I'm pretty sure it is a bug in their bluetooth stack; only if I could talk to one of their developers and explain the problem.
- You know the commotion Nokia created when they removed VoIP stack from N96. Thanks to Fring, I use VoIP and skype with N96 today.
- The NetWork stack is so cumbursome. Each applications have to define their own access points and rights. Why can't it be in the platform level? Just imagin you doing this on your laptop for each of the applications.
- Its better not to talk about the battery. It comes for less than a day for me. But, you can always blaim the usage.
How do we make Nokia listen to issues? Do they have any customer feedback forum (please, not through the Nokia Care centers)? I wish if they improve, after all, I still love my phone (Yes, I paid a good amount for this phone)

N96, FW: 12.043

Hi Jaimon,
I'm with you - I've had my N96 nearly six months and am VERY disappointed.
I just bought a Parrot Party Bluetooth speaker. A GREAT little unit. Needless to say, the implementation of A2DP leaves a LOT to be desired on the N96. Basically, it's like listening to a CD that skips every 10 seconds. The N96 cannot keep up the stream of data fast enough. It's VERY annoying.
I checked to make sure no other apps were running to make sure it wasn't something else running that was causing the problem, but no, it's rubbish (I have firmware 12.043). Other people in my office can connect their Blackberries etc... no problem. Plays back beautifully, but my N96? Piece of garbage.
Nokia have a LOT to answer for! Like you say, a phone that costs more than a laptop and this is the level of service we get. I have written TWICE via their online customer service form, and on each occasion received an email saying I can expect a response in 72 hours. I've never received ANYTHING!
Also, I had a Plantronics headset - Explorer 340. A nice headset. Same problems as mentioned elsewhere, would intermittently be disconnected and reconnected - very annoying. Last week, it paired but would not connect. Plantronics' support was wonderful! So efficient. They're exchanging the unit with a newer model (brand new) because they cannot replace the old model. Maybe that will work better. Meanwhile, because I NEED a headset for driving (and the supplied stereo headset is pathetic - cable too short, microphone ends up around your waist (USELESS!)) I bought (*gasp*) a Nokia BH-101. Paired fine with the N96 (as one would EXPECT), but the headset itself is lousy - such a poor design. I challenge anyone to make it fit in their ear comfortably enough as to be able to HEAR the bloody thing while driving. I have to keep one hand on it to keep it in my ear. USELESS NOKIA!
What is it WITH this company?! Why have they lost the plot?!??!

BADI Error: Field GOITEM-ACCT is not ready for input ? HELP!

I get this error message when testing my BADI in the MIGO Transaction. The BADI is the MB_MIGO_BADI. It is from the Line_modify method. Here is the entrie message:
BAdI: Field GOITEM-ZZREG_ACCT is not ready for input. (Change is not copied over)
Message no. MIGO050
Diagnosis
The contents of field GOITEM-ZZREG_ACCT have been changed in BAdI MB_MIGO_BADI (method LINE_MODIFY). The field, however, is not ready for input, so the change cannot be copied.
In method LINE_MODIFY, only the contents of fields that are ready for input can be changed.
The field is defined correctly in the screen as an input/output field - so it does not relate to that.
HELP!!!!!

Yes - I have reviewed all of the code and I never do any modify to the screen attributes of a field - although it sure acts like it. The screen lets me put in data and it stays there up until it finishes the method line_modify. The error is when i press return after i enter the field- it completes the BADI method and then goes to the main program and does field validation and always comes back with some internal table field called "work" with a value of 0 and it should be a value of 6.
Thanks!

Apps no longer found on App Store - despite long been "Ready for Sale"

As discovered yesterday, all our paid apps have been "lost" from the iOS App Store.
An alert saying:
"Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store."
...appears instead.
Nowhere are they to be found, either by navigating directly to their urls in a browser, or by searching via iTunes on computer, iPhone or iPad.
Not even when clicking the link from within:
[ my developers account > iTunes Connect > Manage your account > [particular app] > View in app store ]
...will they appear, despite them being marked as "Ready for Sale".
This has been confirmed for the Swedish and US app stores so far, on different computers/locations.
All these apps were approved between mid 2009 and mid 2010, and all have long had (and still have) the status "Ready for Sale" and are distributed worldwide.
At the same time, only our FREE-apps are still to be found on the App Store.
I've submitted a report to their support, but receiving a reply could take a while and in the meantime I'm loosing income.
Does anybody know what's going on?
Is this happening for others, or is it just our apps? Has this happened to others before?
Thanks.

Yes, apparently all of a sudden my previously active iOS-contract has been placed under "Request Contracts" instead of in "Contracts In Effect".
When there's a change in contracts you'll always get a notification from Apple is my experience, but now nothing.
My iAD and Free-contracts are still in effect, though.
Could it be connection with having just paid the Mac OS X-developer fee? I strictly remember having ADDED this to my existing account, not creating a new one.
So should I request a new contract, with all the hassle of having to send them the w8ben-form etc (taking forever)? Or is it a shorter process since I've been a registered developer for more than 2 years?
Eh, I'll go ahead and click the "Request"-button for the iOS contract. If you have any more input I'll gladly hear it.

"This drive is not ready for use; it's door may be open ..."

Hi.
I recently updated to itunes 7, and then had an issue with a corrupt file on the i-pod (which resulted in chkdsk hanging itself at 27%, always). So I restored the i-pod and that took care of that - chkdsk now says it's fine.
However - it is also empty. My machine and i-tunes recognize it fine upon start-up; however, a short while into a full synch to get my library back on the i-pod, I invariably get the following error message:
"The drive is not ready for use; it's door may be open. Please check drive \Device\Harddisk\DR 3 and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed." The message comes with the options "cancel, ignore and continue", yet the latter two don't make a difference, and even if I choose cancel, itunes keeps trying until it eventually crashes.
This always happens after itunes has synchronized about 1.13 GB (out of 18.55 available).
As far as I can tell, both my system and the iPod are up to date (itunes and windows update say so, anyway). E: is unequivocally and exclusively allocated to the i-pod; changing the settings from "optimize for quick removal" to "optimize for performance" has made no discernible difference.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
DELL Inspiron 4150 Windows XP

Hullo ...
let me follow up on this again. I've followed your advice, de-installed spybot, no change. I looked through the windows support help base, nothing. While trying out different things, I started getting a "delayed write failed" message, and I did some things they suggested (including adjusting the registry - me, adjusting the registry!)and it went away, and now all I get is the "open door" message again.
That is: everything works absolutely fine, I plug in the i-pod (latest version i-tunes and i-pod is up to date), it's recognized instantly by the explorer as well as i-tunes. I've run all scans you can possibly run on it, and it is fine (no corrupt files, nothing). I've restored it twice through i-tunes, twice through the explorer. I've changed the drive letter.
It starts the synch fine (it's still almost empty after the last restore), but at some point, I get the error message. Interestingly enough, *up to* that point, it'll synch fine - I can disconnect it and play on it whatever's been synched thus far. I can also modify my i-tunes settings and preferences, all of which i-tunes will recognize and adhere to. It is just unwilling to put more than 1GB of stuff onto my 20GB i-pod.
Something I've noticed is that it is sometimes indicating apparently faulty charges in the beginning (though that is quickly corrected once the synch starts), as in, it'll recognize a certain amount of audio files, but also claim a random amount of "other" files, which should not be there (apart from the 30MB or so of genuine i-pod software).
Anyhow. I haven't seen any solutions to this on the forums or in the apple help files, but people appear to be having this problem still. Any ideas or input would be very much appreciated ...
Thanks.

3G IPOD problems which are driving me mad and i can see others have had the same problem but i can't find any solution written down.
Basically my IPOD either freezes after a couple of songs or it downloads about 6Gb (of 40) and the freezes with the following message:
"The drive is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR6 and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed"
I've tried re-setting, installing etc but no luck. Any suggestions/solutions?
Laptop - Packard Bell Notebook Windows XP

Hmmmm. I'm not sure how to explain this.
You need to change the Drive Letter for your iPod.
You should be able to connect your iPod then open Windows Explorer and right click on your iPod(which seems to be Drive E:) and change it to a different letter (like H).
If you haven't enabled disk use for your iPod it probably won't appear in Windows Explorer.
To enable disk use: connect iPod, open iTunes. Open Preferences and select the iPod tab. Choose "enable disk use."
Once you've done all that, try resyncing.

HP Officejet Pro L7590 &/or HP Slimline computer NOT ready for market

I purchased the Officejet last August and used in through December with a Dell with no problems whatsoever. When I bought an HP Slimline with Vista 64 the printer started spitting out a dozen pages with a few lines of garbage characters for each document including the Test Page, and did not completely print the documents. I spoke with three technicians who were all given remote access. We each spent about 3 hours per session. They were unable to make ANY progress in solving the problem. HP provided a VISTA 64 installation disk. It should not have done so. HP has taken no responsibility for releasing a product to market that is not ready for use but will not accept it back and will not give credit for the expensive paper weight that it has become. Moral of story: stick with Dell, don't buy anything from HP.

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. Iphoto only crops it landscape and therefore cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this?

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. I am using Iphoto on a Macbook Pro. Everytime I try and crop the photo, it crops in Landscape which cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this? I am new to Macs as I am currently switching from MS. It is very easy to do this in MS photo editor so I can't believe it can't be easily done in Iphoto!

These are the two steps that Larry describes:
