Is there a place to put comments in a Discoverer query

Hi Everyone,
Is there a place to put comments, so that I/others can understand the query and its processing?
pls advise, tx, sandra

Well, you have the Worksheet Title area, at the top of the report/workbook, and the Worksheet Text area, at the bottom of the report/workbook. Those are the areas available for you to type in text about the worksheet. Yes, there is a limit on what you can key in, but you can key in a decent amount of text. If you need to type in more text, then what you may want to consider is setting up some kind of shared folder on the network for Discoverer users to access. Create a separate document for each workbook and type away to your heart's content on whatever documentation you want for that workbook. You could always submit an enhancement request to Oracle to increase the limit on the number of characters you can type into the title and text areas. My opinion is that if you have a large amount of text you want to type, type it up in a separate word document and make that document available to the users. You can reference to that document in your workbook text, and maybe give some briefer text in the workbook itself. Something to think about.

Is there a way to put comments in an .icd file?

I think I know the answer to this, but is it possible to put comments into an .icd file? I create many ICD files for Camera Link cameras (using both the NI Camera File Generator and by editing the text) and it would be very helpful if I could place comments in the file itself.
Thanks, Bruce

Thanks for taking the time to think about this issue.
I tried your suggestion and now when trying to load the file in MAX it gives an IMAQ Error, "Error 0xBFF60108 The camera file does not support the current interface type." I've tried many different forms of comments and none seem to work (; \\ -- %). I am only way I am successfully able to use comments is if I put them at the very end of the file, after the last "{".
Thanks anyway!

Is there any place to put word or excel documents on the Iphone

I am new as a Iphone user
Is There any place or app for storing word or excell documents on Iphone?

The iphone is not really a storage device.
You can e-mail them to yourself and read the attachement.
You can look for an app that provides this.

On the input : error message if there is no such id in the database to edit? and out put comments messed up the whole

The first page (CoGetEditForm.cfm lets you input the co id
then it get to the next page for you to edit (CoEditForm.cfm). then
it lets take action and UPDATEs (CoEditAction.cfm) finally, it goes
to the colist.cfm to query results and outputs it to html format.
<td>#comm#</td>
Question is that:
1. where and what do I do to have an error message if there
is no such id in the database to edit?
2. the out put comments messed up the whole query results
when I added it to the html out put results. What can I do to clean
this up and where do I put the code?

Trying connect my itunes remote from my iphone and when it gives me the passcode there is no place to put it in

trying to connect my itunes remote from my iphone 4 but when it gives me the passcose there is no place to put it. And when it is connected to my computer it won't as well

if i'm not mistaken, the instructions say
Setting up Remote app

Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes by going to Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing
Connect iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the local network that your Mac or PC is also connected to.
Open the Remote app (software version 2.0 or later) on your mobile device.
Turn on Home Sharing in the Remote Settings screen. Make sure to sign into the same Home Sharing account you used to sign in to from iTunes on your computer.
where does it mention entering a passcode ?

Buy an external optical drive such as the Apple USB SuperDrive that is made specifically for that model.
Use the optical drive of your old MBP to clone the DVDs to USB flash drives, then install from the flash drives.
Connect both computers to your local network and then share the optical drive to install the software.

Is there a way to put the cursor at a specific location in a RichTextBox?

Is there a way to put the cursor at a specific location in a RichTextBox?
The following code places the cursor at the start of a RichTextBox:
    RichTextBox RTbx
    RTbx.Focus();
    TextPointer tp = RTbx.CaretPosition;
    tp = tp.DocumentStart;
    RTbx.CaretPosition = tp;
Not sure how to place it at a specific location other than start and end.
The RichTextBox has contents. At this point in the code, I do know the specific "word" in the contents, as well as the position (number of chars) where that word is located. I just need to programmatically place the cursor at that location.
bhs67

Oh sorry, I see I missed something out my original reply.
I have markup:
<Grid>
<RichTextBox Name="rtb">
<FlowDocument>
<Paragraph >This is the first paragraph</Paragraph>
<Paragraph >TSecond paragraph is here</Paragraph>
</FlowDocument>
</RichTextBox>
</Grid>
Code - this is the window contentrendered event
private void Window_ContentRendered(object sender, EventArgs e)
rtb.Focus();
// TextPointer moveTo = rtb.CaretPosition.GetNextInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward);
TextPointer moveTo = rtb.CaretPosition.GetPositionAtOffset(9, LogicalDirection.Forward);
if (moveTo != null)
rtb.CaretPosition = moveTo;
I see the cursor between the t and he of the second "the".
Note that there are numerous other options such as the commented out line.
Hope that helps.

How to put comments within formulas

Has anyone played around with putting comments or labels within formulas? What I mean is to have a formula with several arguments, with some of them individually labeled with text.
If the arguments are cells, this often happens automatically if you have Use header cell names as references on, but in my situation, the source arguments only exist in the formula. And comments are nice, but they attach to the entire cell, not individual arguments.
What I'd like to do is a formula like this:
= 25 + 50
where I can tell that 25 is the number from May and 50 is the number from June.
Something like this would be ideal:
= 25["May"] + 50["June"]
but since there is not support for that in Numbers, the only way to do something like this is to fake it.
I have found three solutions:
=REPLACE("May",1,99,"25") + REPLACE("June",1,99,"50")
=IFERROR( NOT("May"), 25) + IFERROR( NOT("June"), 50)
=IF(TRUE,25,"May") + IF(TRUE,50,"June")
I prefer the last one, but none are particularly elegant. I wish I could find a single formula that takes just two arguments, the string and the value, and always outputs the value. The challenge is most formulas take cells or boolean expressions, not strings.
Can anyone else think of a more efficient way to do this?

Wayne, as I said twice previously, I am aware of using header cell names but that doesn't work since these values aren't referencing other cells. I only used May & June as an example.
Badunit, in my situation these formulas don't reference other cells or variables. I do that plenty often, but in this case these are many transient numbers that creating separate cells with headers would be too time consuming.
For example, I might be counting values for something I'm inventorying. An actual formula might look like:
= 10 + 25 + 22 + 5 + 15 + 5 + 2 + 160 + 5 + 5
That is the value for one location on one date; I have 12 locations, 100 dates with about 6 types of information to track, meaning 12 tables of 600 cells each already, 7200 cells total. I'm not going to also create 7200 separate tables with tens of thousands of cells to track each of those numbers separately; it's not that important and a big waste of time to do so.
But I do sometimes want to comment on discrepancies or unusual numbers. On the above, I might have written it as:
= 10 + 25 + 22 + 5 + 15 + 5 + 2 + IF(TRUE,160,"includes extra carryover from last week") + 5 + 5
Yes, comments are designed to do that. But they don't always make things easier: they are an extra place to enter information and look for it, and some people might miss it. The next day when someone updates the formula with changed values, they may not notice the comment, or they have to click back & forth to see what parts of the comment refer to what. If there are several commented values and they need to delete or change a certain one, it is easy at a glance to do so correctly.
I'm not saying there aren't other ways of doing this. I'm just saying in some limited circumstances inline comments could be time savers when you have a lot of data entry, and I was wondering if others had thought about solving the problem.

Can I use Time Capsule for Time Machine and a place to put my iPhoto Library

Can I use Time Capsule for Time Machine and a place to put my iPhoto Library?

Only if you partition the Time Capsure into two partitions, one for TM and one for the iPhoto LIbrary. But you won't be able to backup that library as it will be on the same drive as the TM backups.
It's not recommended. An alternative solution is to get another EHD, move the library to it and run it from there. Then TM can backup both your boot drive and the working EHD drive.

Where is the correct place to put a property file to be read by bpel ?

Hi.
I need to create a custom property file and configure SOA Suite to load it as it's own resource during its start. So i can read this property file from my BPEL embedded activity with some code like this:
Properties prop = new Properties();
InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("foo.properties");
prop.load(in);
in.close()
Avoiding the use of the FileInputStream (constant IO, fixed paths..).
Is there some default place to put this file ? I have tried to put it under applib and configure this directory as a shared-library directory but without success.
I'm using SOA Suite 10.1.3.5 with OC4J.
Thanks.

Properties can also be defined in and read from bpel.xml. you can define token with any name and define the value for it. In your configuration you can use tokens and at run time it will read the values from bpel.xml.
Thanks,

Where is the best place to put programs to start on X/Openbox startup?

Hi,
There are several places to put programs to startup when you start X or a WM. I'm using Openbox and presently have placed these into my .xinitrc file, but I'm not sure this really the best place. Openbox has a autostart file, which sorta looks like a better bet.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Jon

Hadn't heard of consolekit; it's not clear to me from looking at their website what it's supposed to be offering? Maybe after it matures more, the documentation will improve, and all will become clear.
When I used Openbox, I just launched everything such as conky from the Openbox autostart file. I guess if you had a weird set up such as some of your Openbox configs sitting on unmounted partitions, their mount commands would go in .xinitrc, otherwise autostart.sh seems better.
Just IMO of course, do what you want on your own machine :-)

My laptop that had my iTunes on it has exploded (in a sense). I now have a new laptop, but I'm afraid to plug my iPod in because I know it will wipe out all 300 songs. Is there a way to put my old music on my new laptop?

(After my old laptop blew, it won't turn on anymore). I've invested quite a bit of money into my music, and it'd be a bummer if it's all gone to waste.
Thanks in advance!

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Put comments in BIP

Hi all!
Can anybody tell how to put comments in BIP Code... or ... how to comment a single line even...
Is there any way..
Regards
OraLearner

Can you explain a bit more what you are trying to do?
Do you want to include a comment in the RTF template (that won't display in the output)?
If so, you could just add statements like:
<?if: 1=2?>
Comments here
<?end if?>
Thanks,
Bipuser
