Kernel debugging using git bisection method in combination with abs.

Is there any way to use git bisection method for kernel debugging in combination with ABS for building the kernel via makepkg?

Yes, but ABS for kernel uses some patches in order for the kernel to be successfully build.

I wanted to know is if there is any way to distinguish what particular patch to use in every bisection point.

Using own SQLite DB in combination with Data Management

Hi,
Currently on a huge project we're we are using LCDS 3.1 in combination with a AIR 2.5 client.
I've been reading "Using Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES2 version 3.1" and I have a question. In the chapter "Building an offline-enabled application" it says on the very first line:
"You can use an offline adapter with an AIR SQLite database to perform offline fills when a desktop client is disconnected from the LiveCycle Data Services server. An offline adapter contains the SQL queries for AIR SQLite for retrieving cached items like an assembler on the server retrieves items from the data source."
However, in my experience that AIR SQLite database is not just any DB but one that Datamanagment designs and generates itself, based on the Dto the DataManagement destination is managing. The offline adapter doesn't work like an assembler at all, because the documentation says you can only override the methods pertaining to constructing the WHERE, and ORDER BY parts of the queries, not the SELECT, CREATE, FROM,... parts.
In our case, we have a database on the server, constructed according to a very specific ERD, and we have a SQLite database on the client, also constructed according to a very specific ERD. What we want to do is execute every fill, create, update, delete against the offline cache and only synchronize with the backend when we want it the synchronize (technically possible by playing with the autoMerge, autoSaveCache, autoConnect,... properties). So what part of datamanagement can we customize to use our DB instead of a generated one?
Thx in advance!

You are correct in noting that Data Management does not allow you to use your own database to store offline data. This data is exclusively managed by the LCDS library for the developer. The intent is that the local cache is a reflection of the server data, not an independent copy.
If you have an existing database in AIR, then you will have much more direct control over the querying and updating of that data by using the SQLite APIs directly.
That being said, you can in essence replicate the data stored on the server, managed by Data Management, in the offline cache. In an upcoming release (winter 2011) we will have a few features ('briefcases' and a 'changes-only' fill) that will make this story even more compelling for your use cases. But even with the 3.1 functionality, you can do something like the following:
Perform a fill() to collect the data you want to have available on the client, save this in the offline cache
Construct an Offline Adapter Actionscript class that implements the fills you want to perform on the local data
Use the DataService.localFill() API to perform all of the client application fills, turn off autoCommit.
When the client is online, call commit() to store client changes and call fill() to refresh the cached data.
This should give you some ideas on how you could go about constructing your app to leverage the offline features of Data Services.

Use of action links in combination with hierarchy object in analysis

Hi All,
From OBI 11g release hierarchy objects are available in the presentation layer of OBI. We make often use of these hierarchy objects. We also make use of action links to drill down to a analysis with more detailed information. This more detailed analysis should inherit the values of the higher-level analysis. In combination with the hierarchy objects this can give problems.
An example:
Let's say we have the following atttributes:
Hierarchy object date (year, quarter, month), a product column and # of units shipped measure. On the column # of units shipped we have defined an action link to a more detailed analysis.
Now, let's say the user clicks on the year 2011 in the hierarchy object. The quarters for 2011 are shown. The 'normal' product column attributes contains 'Product A'. The user makes use of the action link that is available by clicking on the measure value of # of units shipped. He clicks on the value that is based on quarter 2 of 2011 and 'Product A'. The detailed analysis is set to filter the analysis on the product and date dimension. In this example the analysis is filtered on 'Product A' but not on the value Quarter 2, 2011. Hierarchy object values are not passed through on clicking on a action link.
Is there any workaround for this issue? We want to make use of the hierarchy object but users expect to also pass the hierarchy object value to the underlying detailed analysis

I am facing the same issue...
First check it out:
http://prasadmadhasi.com/2011/12/15/hierarchicalnavigationinobiee11g/
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/10/oracle-bi-ee-11g-navigation-passing-parameters-using-hierarchical-columns/
I solved it by using Go URL link. I pass value of hierarchy level (whichever level it is). For Year it is 2012, month: 2012-03.
Now ugly part: in url I pass 2 parameters that refers to the same value : "Time"."Year"="2012", "Time"."Month"="2012"
In target report I apply filter: "Time"."Year" "Is Prompted" OR "Time"."Month" "Is Prompted"
This way in target report only one of filters will work : depending from which level you navigated from source report.
If you decide use this approach be carefoul with URL syntax, remember about double quotes etc. In my case it was:
Parameter : value
PortalGo : [LEAVE EMPTY]
path : %2Fusers%2Fweblogic%2FMIS%20EVAL%2FT_Target
options : dr
Action : Navigate
col1 : "Time"."Year"
val1 : [SELECT TIME HIERARCHY COLUMN]
col2 : "Time"."Month"
val2 : [SELECT TIME HIERARCHY COLUMN]
Remember to:
Remove “=” after PortalGo
Surround value attribute with double quotes - e.g. @val1=”@{6}”
After you "adjust" your URL text manually (unfortunatelly it won't be done automatically) it should look like:
http://10.10.10.100:7001/analytics/saw.dll?PortalGo@{1}&path=@{2}&options=@{3}&Action=@{4}&col1=@{5}&val1=”@{6}”&col2=@{7}&val2=”@{8}”

Using dynamic VI referencing in combination with Application Builder

Hi.
In this thread (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-access-a-known-control-in-a-VI-reference/td-p/1255244) I attempted to modify our under development test system, so that we didn't have to change the same main VI for every test that we are adding, since we are several persons who'll be adding tests (i.e. conflicts would arise, that we would have to iron out manually every time). The solution in the thread above works very well, by opening a reference to the test sub VI and calling the reference. I then can pass data to the sub VI, and can get the test results from the sub VI. Great!
The problem came when running the program through the Application Builder. The test system starts up fine, but the above method fails miserably, since the sub VI files are no longer there. It seems that the sub VI's are not a part of the exe binary file coming from the Application Builder.
So I'm drawing a blank here. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to to this? I'm only seeing the two options. Either adding the sub VI's in the same main VI file, but then we have to be very careful on not getting conflicts (or fix the conflicts manually when they arise). Or use the dynamic VI referencing, but then the system doesn't work with the Application Builder (which means that this method is out). Is there a third method of doing this?

Hi Mike.
I use LabVIEW 2009.
Well, I actually *can* use the dynamic call solution now. The problem was that (1) the files weren't included in the exe file (fixed by adjusting the Application Builder settings), and (2) the Check if File or Folder Exist VI doesn't work if I try to check if the sub VI is present inside the exe file. The solution here was basically to ommit the whole Check if File or Folder Exist VI, and just do an error check on the Open VI Reference VI. The Open VI Reference VI will fail if trying to open a reference to a file that doesn't exist, so I just wired that to a case loop around the Call By Reference VI.

Using Data-Dependent Routing in combination with Membership provider

Hi there!
Currently we have two Web applications running on azure using a single SQL database. We are experiencing problems with performance because we are using only one database. We are investigating some solutions like documentDB and elastic scale.
DocumentDb seems like a really good option for us because it looks like it can be implemented easily and we know just what to do.
With elastic scale on the other hand we have to figure out what our options are. We are using a membership provider for our users to login in one of the two applications. The other web applications does not use a membershipprovider, it does not use a login
system at all.
in the backend of our code we determine a subscription_id for both applications to retrieve tenant data.
I think we have a few options here
1. to keep using the membershipprovider we could create a database just for the login mechanism so we can determine the subscription_id, and with that subscription_id we can use Data-Dependent Routing to retrieve the correct data from the correct shard.
2. We can add extra columns to the Shard Map Manager database (i think i've read that it's not supposed to be used for user data) like username and password so we can login through this database.
Does anyone has better options than the options mentioned before and can anyone give me advise on how we should deal with these issues?
Thanks!

Elmar --
The best approach would be to maintain the Membership DB in a separate Azure SQL database. Then you could shard your transaction details across an Elastic Scale set of databases based on the subscription ID. (The Shard Map Manager
database is not designed to be extended with additional columns, and Elastic Scale works by caching that Shard Map data in the client application anyway, and those in-memory structures can't be changed).
You would use an ordinary ADO.Net connection to query membership for a Subscription ID, and then get an appropriate shard-specific connection using the Elastic Scale GetOpenConnectionForKey method, passing the subscription ID retrieved from
the membership query.

Used wrong payment method when paying with PayPal account!

Hello, Okay so I bought tickets on StubHub and when it asked me how I would like to pay, I checked my PayPal account. But it never said which payment method from PayPal it would charge. I have my PayPal Credit as my default payment method so I assumed it would have been my PayPal Credit account that gets charged. But now I see that a hugh amount was debited out of my bank. I wanted to use my PayPal Credit account to pay because it's such a hugh amount. My question is; can I transfer the payment to my PayPal Credit account and get the money credited back to my bank account? I would like to pay incrementally and I can't afford to give up such a hugh amount all at once. I'm afraid I'll have to cancel the payment if I can't do that. Please help!!! Thanks!

Using Mac Terminal window in combination with X11

I'm trying to log into a remote computer and bring up X11 applications
to display on my laptop, from within the Mac Terminal window. I
was able to get it to work on MacOSX10.3 by typing in
"export DISPLAY=:0.0" on the remote computer after logging in, but
the same trick isn't working on my MacOSX10.4 machine. I'm using
the "-Y" option to ssh on the 10.4 machine, following an earlier query
on that topic. If I do the ssh -Y from an X11 xterm, everything works fine.
Thanks,
Catherine

Set DISPLAY=:0.0 on the local shell (verify that 'xterm' brings up a local-machine window) before ssh'ing to the remote machine. When you use a local xterm, the DISPLAY is already set to the local screen by default (duh...xterm is an x11 thing:), but Terminal is not an x11 thing so you have to set DISPLAY manually. W11-forwarding works by having the remote machine's x11 come back to "wherever the local shell had its x11 directed".

Using Sony's IDC in combination with Lightroom

I would like to use Sony's IDC Raw converter that comes with the Sony A700 camera, to be able to process through Sony IDC the RAWs with DRO's (Dynamic Range Optimalization) applied (as shot with the A700).
However I would like to keep LightRoom as my archiving base.
Question:
Can I bring RAWs after importing in LightRoom, to IDC?
Can I after converting the RAWs in IDC, bring the resulting PSDs (or JPEGs) from IDC back to Lightroom (for archiving)?
I appreciate your help!

Yes, and No!
Lightroom won't allow you to use IDC on the Raw file, Lightroom only allows ACRaw to be used to "develop" a raw file. However, you can use Lightroom's ranking and review functions to help you decide which files you want to work with. Then right click and select show in explorer. Then select the file you want to develop, and tell Explorer to open in IDC. You then can develop, save as a Tiff and import.
Pain in the Arse isn't it?
Frankly if you have access to Bridge then this is faster and more convenient. Import the ARW and use IDC to make Tiffs.
But why do you want to do this?
Frankly DRO only becomes special when you use DRO Advanced. Anything else can be easily duplicated in Lightroom. DRO Advanced can not be done by IDC,(it's like Lightzone on Steroids) it's done by the camera, the processor looks at each pixel and compares it with adjacent pixels and makes adjustments in the jpg. So the only way to utilise DRO Advanced (and it's astonishing what is achieved) is to shoot in Jpg (and probably in cRaw + Jpeg) I shoot everything in cRaw only but have a MR setting to utilise DRO Advanced - cRaw + Jpeg, ISO 200 (remember that DRO advanced effectively locally amplifies the pixels, so if you start at say ISO 800 certain pixels could be amplified to ISO 6400!
I can then import both the cRaw and the Jpeg.
Hope this makes sense.

Error/fault when using reader and digitial signatures combined with dropdown list

I'm working on a time card form for my company and they want me to have the form calculate the dates for the two week pay period when the ending day of the pay period is selected, that part I have down through code. The problem I am running into though is that when the user is using Adobe reader to digitally sign and send the file to their supervisor the file is changing the selection date field back to the first selection in the drop down list after the first digital signature is applied and the file saved. This error does not occur when the user is utilizing Adobe Pro though. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm wondering if it is something to do with the dropdown list settings or some kind of locking feature not working properly with the reader version. I am editing/creating the form through LiveCycle Designer ES4.

Hi,
The drop down list box, by default will have a blank value. If you can declare that as obligatory then the report will force the user to enter the value in it.

Aggregate-collection-mapping combined with optimistic-locking

I've tried to set up an aggregate-collection-mapping and everything seems to be okay. But one thing still lacks: use this aggregate-collection in combination with optimistic-locking. Defining to use optimistic-locking (exactly: timestamp locking) doesn't work. The generated sql-statement doesn't have the wanted timestamp field. Any idea is recommend.

Hi,
Aggregate collection mappings do support optimistic locking. You MUST map and store the version value in the object, not the cache. Aggregate objects are not cache independently of their parents so cannot store their version value in the cache.
Make sure that you have:
- provided a direc-to-field (non-readonly) mapping for the version field
- define the locking policy to store the version value in the object, not the cache
Example:
     descriptor.descriptorIsAggregateCollection();
     descriptor.useTimestampLocking("VERSION", false);
     // SECTION: DIRECTTOFIELDMAPPING
     DirectToFieldMapping directtofieldmapping3 = new DirectToFieldMapping();
     directtofieldmapping3.setAttributeName("version");
     directtofieldmapping3.setIsReadOnly(false );
     directtofieldmapping3.setFieldName("VERSION");
     descriptor.addMapping(directtofieldmapping3);

Snapshot isolation in combination with service broker

Hi all,
I'm currently using the service broker in combination with snapshot isolation on the database.
The notification request is executed under read commited isolation. The code looks like this:
SqlDependency dependency = new SqlDependency(command, null, 0);
dependency.OnChange += eventHandler;
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
using (SqlTransaction tran = conn.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted))
command.Transaction = tran;
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
tran.Commit();
The request is successfully created and works fine at the first glance.
Now here is my problem:
I created a notification request that should monitor two objects. The query (executed under read committed) looks something like this:
SELECT Id, DataVersion FROM dbo.MyObjects WHERE Id = 1 OR Id = 2
Afterwards I delete both objects in separate nested transactions. Both of them are running under snapshot isolation. It looks something like this:
using (SqlConnection conn1 = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
conn1.Open();
using (SqlTransaction tran1 = connection1.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.Snapshot))
using (SqlConnection conn2 = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
conn2.Open();
using (SqlTransaction tran2 = conn2.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.Snapshot))
SqlCommand command2 = conn2.CreateCommand();
command2.Transaction = tran2;
command2.CommandText = "DELETE FROM MyObjects WHERE Id = 2";
command2.ExecuteNonQuery();
tran2.Commit();
SqlCommand command1 = conn1.CreateCommand();
command1.CommandText = "DELETE FROM MyObjects WHERE Id = 1";
command1.Transaction = tran1;
command1.ExecuteNonQuery();
tran1.Commit(); //-> Conflict exception
A conflict exception is raised during the commit of last transaction. The conflict seems to occur in the table "sys.query_notifcations_xxxxxxxxx". This is the exact message:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in System.Data.dll
Additional information: Snapshot isolation transaction aborted due to update conflict. You cannot use snapshot isolation to access table 'sys.query_notification_45295271' directly or indirectly in database 'MyDatabase' to update, delete,
or insert the row that has been modified or deleted by another transaction. Retry the transaction or change the isolation level for the update/delete statement.
Is there any restriction for the service broker that prohibits the usage of snapshot isolation.
Thanks in advance.

No, the error has nothing to do with Service Broker. Or for that matter, query notifications, which is the feature you are actually using. (Query notifications uses Service Broker, but Service Broker != Query notification.)
You would get the same error if you had a trigger in MyObjects that tried to update the same row for both deletions. A snapshot transaction gives you a consistent view of the database in a certain point in time. Consider this situation:
Snapshot transaction A that started at time T update a row R at time T2. Snapshot transaction B starts at time T1 updates the same row at time T3. Had they been regular non-snapshot transaction, transaction B would have been blocked already when it tried
to read R, but snapshot transactions do not get blocked. But if B would be permitted to update R, the update from transaction A would be lost. Assume that the update is an incremental one, for instance updating cash balance for an account. You can see that
this is not permittable.
In your case, the row R happens to be a row in an internal table for query notifications, but it is the application design which is the problem. There is no obvious reason to use snapshot isolation in your example since you are only deleting. And there is
even less reason to have two transactions and connections for the task.
