Tweaking product prices on a large scale - how?

My Client has a software store on BC. His supplier is constantly changing their prices and my client wants to be able to quickly review prices, make changes to reflect supplier prices every few days
If I export the Product List the Excel export is unusable with it full of HTML markup from the product descriptions.
Apart from opening each product individually to check and tweak prices how is everyone ammending prices on a large scale.... My client only has 60 products at the moment but this is soon to quadruple and I have prospective clients looking at BC for their ecommerce solution and they have thousands of items.
Regards
Richard

If its just prices you want to input, see if you can just eliminate all the other columns that are not needed and only import the price column with its product identifier ofcourse, and see if it will just update the price and not have to deal with the descriptions...Just a thought...

Problem in audio conferencing using Flex and FMS3.0

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to achieve audio conferencing using Flex and
FMS3.0
Currently I am following an approach where all the persons in
voice conference publish their voice on flash media server using
NetStream.Publish() function and all persons listen to the streams
published by all other members in the conference using
NetStream.Play() function. I am using a shared array on server side
to keep track of all the persons present in the conference. The
problem I am facing is that sometimes all the persons are able to
hear the voice of each other but other times audio of some persons
is not audible to others. Even if voice comes then there is echo
and one can hear the sound 3-4 times depending on the amplitude of
the sound. I have also used Microphone.setUseEchoSuppression(true)
to suppress the echo but it is not effectively suppressing it. If
someone has faced similar problems in past please let me know the
solution. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pankaj

I know.. but it was wrapped as jar or war files..
I searched all over my harddrive to find something named like org.apache or jdbc.clientDriver...and so on..with no result.
and I unziped derby.jar or derbyclient.jar etc.. also with no result.
It's like the driver has hiden somewhere like viruses...at least to me..

MeetingPlace Express 7 or 8 basic audio only solution...help!

I have a customer with an existing UC 7.1.x cluster (a la carte licence) and a legacy MeetingPlace Express 2.1.1.2 solution providing audio conferencing only. The customer now wishes to up-grade the MeetingPlace solution to a latter version for support purposes and to increase the number of ports.
All that is required is the ability to schedule audio conferences and hold ad-hoc meetings; the solution requires 52 audio ports. There are no requirements for Webex external meetings, web or video; all that’s needed is simple audio bridging.
Am I right in thinking that the MCS Node for MP8 has no Webx VoIP/Video support, is an internal solution and is deployed on a single server (MCS)? Looking at various Cisco docs it’s also suggested that a Webex account is still required as MediaTone is extended to site?
Any advise would be greatly received!

Thank you, as I noted here, your post was the key to my getting a Windows 8 SecureBooting setup on a W530.
In the case of Windows 8, I needed to copy the files away, reformat my USB key as FAT32 and copy the files back, and viola I was able to boot from my USB install media with the BIOS set to only boot UEFI. From there, there rest was easy (for Windows 8, the copying and renaming is not necessary, the key is having a FAT32 partition on the USB media, rather than an NTFS one; the EFI files are already in the right location).
Thank you again good sir.
You are welcome... and I'm happy that the change of the file system helps with windows 8 too. Thanks for confirming that.

Applying Oil Paint Filter to Large Scale Images

I need to apply the effects available from the Oil Paint filter to very large, 80mb images. The filter works exactly as I need it to on small images, but not at large scale. A comment I have heard in a Lynda.com video on the Oil Paint filter mentioned that the filter does not work well on large images. However, I REALLY need this, even if I need to pay someone to write a program that can do it! Does anyone know if / how I can get the filter to work for large images and / or if there is a third-party plug-in that will provide the same results? Having this filter work on large scale images could make or break a business idea I have so finding a solution is extremely important to me.

What's the problem you're having with applying it to an 80 MB image? Is it that the effects don't scale up enough?
Technically it can run on large images if you have the computer resources... I've just successfully applied it to an 80 MB image, and with the sliders turned all the way up it looks pretty oil painty, though it kind of drops back into a realistic looking photo when zoomed out...
If it's just that the sliders can't go high enough, given that it's a very abstract look you're trying to achieve, have you considered applying it at a downsized resolution, then upsampling, then maybe applying it again? This is done that way...
Oh, and by the way, Oil Paint has been removed from Photoshop CC 2014, so if you're planning a business based on automatically turning people's large photos into oil paintings you should assume you'll be stuck with running the older Photoshop version.

Sasith

Hi Sasith,
I would advise you to reach out to your Cisco Account team that can involve Cisco Sales Engineers that can provide you wit the information about the entire product line and features available. This Community support MeetingPlace and Cisco WebEx Meetings Server (CWMS) solutions.
MeetingPlace integrated with WebEx has a Webinar option, but it doesn't have this functionality when it comes to registration. You can schedule a Webinar kind of a meeting and send invitation to everyone. However, there is no possibility of managing registrations etc. You can schedule a meeting but you cannot specify the size of the meeting during scheduling. Presenter's Video can be shared as well as have participants being able to talk within the conference. Users should be able to log in from any device.
CWMS product doesn't have a Webinar option at this time.
I hope this will help at least a little bit.

Compiling a large scale application

I have recently aquired a large scale application with nearly 300 .java files. The problem I'm having is compiling such a large application where every class seems to be dependent on other classes and packages. Is there a simple solution to compiling such an app or do I have to use brute force and trial and error until I get all the packages and files compiled? The route I am taking now is going to each folder and making txt files that I pass to javac ("javac @currdir.txt") and if i get linking errors, track those files down and try to compile them first.
thanks in advance,
Bosco

There are numerous tools out there that will help you, and most IDE's have some notion of a "project"--a set of files that goes together and that may depend on each other.
Personally I like ant, from the fine people at Apache/Jakarta.

Very-large-scale searching in J2EE

I'm looking to solve a very-large-scale searching problem. I am creating a site
where users can search a table with five million records, filtering and sorting
independantly on ten different columns. For example, the table might be five million
customers, and the user might choose "S*" for the last name, and sort ascending
on street name.
I have read up on a number of patterns to solve this problem, but anticipate some
performance issues. I'll explain below:
1) "Page-by-Page Iterator" or "Value List Handler"
In this pattern, it appears that all records that match the search criteria are
retrieved from the database and cached on the application server. The client (JSP)
can then access small pieces of the cached results at a time. Issues with this
include:
- If the customer record is 1KB, then wide search criteria (i.e. last name =
S*) will cause 1 GB transfer from the database server to app server, and then
1GB being stored on the app server, cached, waiting for the user (each user!)
to ask for the next 10 or 100 records. This is inefficient use of network and
memory resources.
- 99% of the data transfered from the database server will not by used ... most
users flip through a couple of pages and then choose a record or start a new search
2) Requery the database each time and ask for a subset
I haven't seen this formalized into a pattern yet, but the basic idea is this:
If a clients asks for records 1-100 first (i.e. page 1), only fetch that many
records from the db. If the user asks for the next page, requery the database
and use the JDBC API's ResultSet.absolute(int row) to start at record 101. Issue:
The query is re-performed, causing the Oracle server to do another costly "execute"
(bad on 5M records with sorting).
To solve this, I've beed trying to enhance the second strategy above by caching
the ResultSet object in a stateful session bean. Unfortunately, this causes a
"ResultSet already closed" SQLException, although I ensure that the Connection,
PreparedStatement, and ResultSet are all stored in the EJB and not closed. I've
seen this on newsgroups ... it appears that WebLogic is forcing the Connection
closed. If this is how J2EE and pooled connections work, then that's fine ...
there's nothing I can really do about it.
Another idea is to use "explicit cursors" in Oracle. I haven't fully explored
it yet, but it wouldn't be a great solution as it would be using Oracle-specific
functionality (we are trying to be db-agnostic).
More information:
- BEA WebLogic Server 8.1
- JDBC: Oracle's thin driver provided with WLS 8.1
- Platform: Sun Solaris 5.8
- Oracle 9i

query per page, with iterative SQL that selects the next N rows beyond what was
selected last time. Eg:
Let variable X be the highest key value you've seen so far. Initially it would
be the lowest possible value.
select * from mytable M
where ... -- application-specific qualifications...
and M.key >= X
and (100 <= select count(*) from mytable MM where MM.key > X and MM.key < M.key and ...)
In English, this says, select all the qualifying rows higher than what I last saw, but
only those that have fewer than 100 qualifying rows between the last I saw and them (ie:
the next 100).
When processing this query, remember the highest key value you see, and use it for the
next query.

ELearning for Large Scale System Change

Our next project is training for a large scale company wide system upgrade. Our users are very dependent on the software that will be replaced and several departments will need to learn their job anew. Any suggestions on how to use eLearning to increase adoption and comprehension of the new software?

Hi Lincoln,
I've worked on a number of large-scale IT change projects for international clients. I can make a few suggestions, some Captivate related, some more general eLearning related.
On projects like this I tend to produce three types of training: face-to-face, interactive tutorials/simulations & job aids. Ideally the three are planned together, allowing you to create a single instructional design plan. You want people to be introduced to the system, learning to be reinforced and then everybody to be supported.
The face-to-face training usually contains lots of show and tell, where the users are shown how to do tasks and then have a go at doing this themselves. Ideally a number of small tasks are shown and repeated, then they are all brought together by getting the learners to follow realistic scenarios that require all of the discrete tasks to be performed together. I find that lots of training doesn't integrate deeply with people's real-life jobs and the use of real world scenarios helps to improve retention and performance. I have made materials where the show-and-tell pieces have been pre-recorded, which you can do with Captivate.
The interactive tutorials are usually used as follow-on material to the face-to-face modules, allowing learners to go through simulations with guidance when they do something unexpected, though sometimes there is no face-to-face training and the interactive tutorials have to deliver all of the teaching. Sometimes these include sections that merely show users and ask questions afterwards. Sometimes they become very complex branching scenarios. I usually build all of this in Captivate, though I do find it quite buggy and frustrating at times.
Finally, I build small job aids. These are very specific and show how to do a well defined function, such as changes an existing customer's address. Sometimes these are Captivate movies, sometimes they are PDF files, often they are implemented as both. They can be embedded and/or linked from the system help screens and FAQs, as well as used in support responses and post-training emails. The movies tend to be short and sweet: 30-120 seconds long.
In an ideal world the number of job aids grows rapidly after implementation in response to user support requests, though in reality I often have to anticipate what users are going to find difficult and create all of these prior to launch.
If you are going to use Captivate for your project, then I suggest that you test, test and test again before agreeing what you will deliver. It's a great bit of software, in theory, but it is quite buggy. I'm working on a project with CP6.1 and I'm having lots of audio synch problems and video corruption issues publishing my final work to as MP4 videos.
In terms of effort, my rule of thumb is 20% planning, 60% design and scripting and 20% implementation.
I hope this helps,
David

ACS issues in large scale network with Prime Infra and WAAS express

Hi,
I wonder if there is a common practice or a recommended way for deploying large scale network where there are Prime Infrastructure (PI) and WAAS Central manager keep logging into routers (scale of 1000 or more) to collect statistics. The way PI and WAAS CM collect stats from the routers (besides using SNMP) is that they log in (authenticate) themselves with there usernames and password and issue multiple show and config commands on the routers. Imagin this routine happens every 5 - 10 minutes with all 1000+ routers at the same time and the impact to the ACS server in terms of authentication requests and AAA logs. Appreciate if somebody could recommend a solution where these elements can work together in a large scale network.
Thanks,
Tos

The AEBS is connected to the TC via an ethernet run from the basement to the main floor... its not connected wirelessly.
The "extend" feature is intended for wireless, not wired connections. Since you have the base stations connected by Ethernet, the downstream router just need to be reconfigured as a bridge. The bridged router would then perform as a combination Wireless Access Point and Ethernet switch. Neither base station should be configured for "extending."
Basically, you will want both to be configured for a "roaming" network.
o Setup the base station connected to the Internet to "Share a public IP address."
Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address
o Setup the remaining base station(s), as a bridge.
Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)
For each base station in the roaming network:
o Connect to the same subnet of the Ethernet network
o Provide a unique Base Station Name
o The Network Name should be identical
o If using security, use the same encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password.
o Make sure that the channel is set at least three channels apart from the next base station.
while the TC is running at 2.4ghz since my MBP is connected at speeds around 240 to the AEBS at the same time that my ipod is connected to the TC at speeds of only 54 max.
The iPod is a 802.11b/g wireless device. It cannot connect at greater than the maximum bandwidth for that mode ... which is 54 Mbps, regardless of the bandwidth available.

Large scale Connect Session, 3 Continents, 1000s of participants, tips?

I am doing a large scale webinar using Adobe Connect with 20 different presenters in three different continents. I will be the host, but will give up host duties to others who will act as technical team members in the three regions (Europe, Americas, Pacific). This sounds like alot of moving parts, and it is my first show with this software.
Does anyone have any tips on this level of participation? Any information would be helpful...
Thanks

Congrats. Lots of customers are doing that today. How many participants? 1000's?
And you are running this on your own server or Adobe Hosted?
You using VOIP or using an integrated audio provider?
Suggestions:
1. Hosts should avoid using wireless connections as they are always risky for interference. Best practice is to use wired ethernet.
2. Keep the use of webcams to the start but after the meeting gets going reduce the use of webcam video as sometimes it can be distracting....all depends on the focus of your meeting
3. Mute everyone but the hosts to keeo audio interference and noise to a minimum
4. Suggest that VOIP users have proper headsets designed for VOIP. This is s best practice.
5. Make sure you add a nice background image to the room using preferences...personalize it
6. Use the Q&A Pod to field questions.....download the multi-language chat pod from the Adobe Connect Exchange....trnaslates chat into various languages on the fly....very cool with the U.N.

Best and most secure tracking option for large scale iPad deployment?

Hi, we are deploying iPads to hotel rooms on a large scale basis and need to find an appropriate solution to securely track them in case they are stolen.
We are actually considering Find my iPhone for its simplicity, but the 100 devices limit and also the fact it is relatively easy to disable poses a problem.
On the other spectrum there is AirWatch which is very expensive.
I was wondering if any other options are available for this?
Best regards
Florian

MobileIron Sentry iPad app, enterprise IT departments can track iPhones and iPads, view device inventory, block offending or compromised devices, and remotely wipe stolen, lost or compromised units. The application also enables remotely suspending email access for active staff, just-terminated employees, and others.
Just read about it.

Using Smart Objects in large scale documents.

I'm creating a large scale banner (12' by 8') which includes a photographic background image with vector based logo elements and typography on top of it. I am creating the document in photoshop, and wanted to know if using Smart Objects is the best solution for placing the logo elements and typography, but I don't know how they will be affected when the image is scaled for printing.

In that case a Vector Smart Object (File > Place or pasting the Illustrator content) should work fairly well.
One thing to keep in mind is that in Illustrator Raster Effects (Drop Shadows, Filters, Color Meshes, …) have a resolution determined under Effect > Document Raster Effect Settings.
If that resolution is low upscaling on Photoshop may reveal noticeable pixels.

Large scale forte implementation

Dear Forte experts:
I am part of a team in an large insurance company in charge of developing an
enterprise-wide insurnace solution. We have been approached by few vendors, one
of which bases its architecture on Forte. We really like what we saw, however,
neither the vendor nor us are confident nor knowledgable enough about the
performance behaviour of Forte in a distributed computing environment which can
be characterized as, multiple islands of processing, with
millions-of-transactions/day, spread across wide area network.
I am afraid we won't be able to choose Forte route unless we gain confidence on
its performance capability in our typical environment. So any insight, examples,
case studies that I can get from this group collective knowledge is extremly
helpful and is greatly appreciated.

At Andersen Windows, we have been running our Order Entry system over
a 56K frame relay network since the systems initial deployment in Nov
of 1994. We currently have a user base of approximately 120 PC & Mac
clients running over the frame, with an additional internal installed
base of approximately 50 PC & Mac workstations. This system runs on a
single Sequent server. We soon hope to add NT clients to this mix.
It has been our observation that Forte has not been a constraint to
performance. When we have performance problems, it has generally been
caused by poor design. One of are largest constraints to performance
is the amount of data we drag across the network.
Since the successful implementation of our Order Entry system,
Andersen has adopted Forte as our enterprise custom development tool.
It has allowed our development staff to concentrated on development of
business functionality while insulating us from the complexities of
operating systems, messaging, and maintaining platform specific code.
We currently have several additional systems deployed using Forte.
These systems include three Express applications, a standalone windows
application and a mobile client application.
I think Thomas Mercer Hursh asked a valid question "What are the
alternatives you are considering?". I don't think you will find one
to compare with Forte.
