Less Outputs means no support for multiroom A/V users

Currently using an AppleTV over a 12 room system that uses a 8x8 Component Matrix Switch for video and sends the sound via RCA audio to audio only rooms.....new AppleTV with HDMI only is a joke to the high end users....bad enough the original AppleTV lacked composite video output...but doing away with RCA audio will keep the new model out of my A/V rack....so will have to keep using the old model.....Apple had a great product in the original....they should have just added Netflix in a software update for the old model.....big disappointment.

Elan home systems is the manufacture....I can send 8 video/audio sources to up to 12 rooms on my system.....thing is there are no HDMI or Digital audio inputs .... so I can send Component 720p Video and analog audio throughout the home on 8 Tv's in 12 different rooms...sound only to 4.....to send HDMI to multiple rooms requires more wiring in the home.....plus you need two runs of Cat5 and baluns on each end of run.... long and short is new AppleTV stinks for the Multi room application....the original AppleTV is a great product for multi room system....you can play all your music throughout the home and control with your iphone...can play in one room or all rooms at same time.....was hoping for a new better product from apple instead..for me a less useful device....will keep my old AppleTV

Lack of Migration support for 6.0 & 10g users

Hi,
One of the 1st things we wanted to do with the beta as an existing customer is to validate migrating a project from our existing Production version (6.0) to 11g.
While the import appears to work, opening any imported diagram throws an XML parsing exception.
After raising an SR, it turns out that migrating from previous versions is unsupported until 11gR2.
This puts me in a tricky spot as one of the main business drivers to adopt 11g is product upgrade.
I am very surprised to see existing customers nt being catered for in the new version, as running multiple versions in Prod is not a realistic option for most.
Backwards compatability is therefore very important to the existing user base!
So, questions for Oracle:
1. Can you please reconsider the lack of migration support for R1?
2. if this feature cannot be working for R1, what is the expected release date (even if its just a quarter) for R2?
3. To save my time, is there a list of what other features are not for going to be available in the Beta / R1 release?
As a Beta tester my time is precious, and I need to know what I can expect to work, rather than report issues only to then find out that its not supported...
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,
You are right in the sense that upgrade will be supported in BPM 11gR2. More specifically, the upgrade will support OBPM 10gR3 to BPM 11gR2. Customers in older versions of OBPM and ALBPM will need to upgrade to OBPM 10gR3 before attempting the upgrade to BPM 11gR2. To upgrade to OBPM 10gR3, there are a series of pointers in our documentation on how to do this. I can explicitly provide links if you are interested in this mandatory upgrade before moving to BPM 11g.
As per the reason for not being able to support upgrade in this first version of BPM 11g, it simply boils down to time to create the new unified BPM platform which in itself is a major undertake from an Engineering perspective. Once the foundation is complete (this is the objective for BPM 11gR1), we will start working on completing the delta to upgrade OBPM 10gR3 projects to BPM 11gR2 as best as possible. There is a document we have been sharing with customers with Best Practices for implementing OBPM 10gR3 projects with idea of an upgrade to BPM 11g. We do have significant knowledge on some pieces that we will be able to automate from a migration perspective and some others that will be hard to upgrade. If you are interested in this document, we can provide this to you.
If you have any other questions, please let me know. I would be more than happy to assist with migration questions with the most up to date knowledge I have on this front.
Regards,
eduardoc.

SCUP 2011 support for multiple SCUP console users

Will Microsoft or does microsoft have a solution to allow for multiple users to upload catalogs and install and use the SCUP 2011 console on workstations? Will SCUP 2011 database support multiple users now or in the future and is it supported? thank you

I cannot speak to what may lie in the future, but this is what we do to have multiple users in the console. We are just now starting to evaluate SCUP, and this works for a handful of users so far.
Install WSUS admin console
Install SCUP 2011
Copy Scup2011.exe.config to
c:\Program Files (x86)\System Center Updates Publisher 2011
Open SCUP console and verify in File-> Options that ConfigMgr Server settings are correct
Verify Advanced settings are correct as well

Support for JavaIDL

Hi,
I just wanted to confirm that support for javaIdl still exists post 8.1 SP3.
I saw in the manuals that support for the sample apps (e.g., iiop.ejb.entity.cppclient) is listed as "Not supported for WebLogic 8.1 SP3 and higher". Also, the examples are completely missing from 9.0
I take this to mean that support for the examples is discontinued, not that the capability to generate IDL from an EJB is gone.
Btw - are there any known issues with Orbix 2000 (c++) and WLS 8.1 (and higher) in this area (forget above OBV types).
thanks,
mike

Hi, I just tried to open Word and this message appeared - 'You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.' I just recently loaded OS X Lion does this mean my software for MS Office is now out of date? Do I have to purchase a new package? Any help appreciated.

Hello:
Office 2004 was written for the PowerPC chip only. There is no emulation in OS X 10.7.
I encountered the same issue sometime ago when I updated to OS X 10.7.
There is one option that I might mention (other than buy Office 2011). I switched to Apple's iWork. Pages (the word processing package) is completely compatible with Word. If you export Pages documents, you can export them in formats compatible with Microsoft programs. iWork also contains programs that are compatible with Office presentation and spreadsheet packages.
The reason I mention this is that the cost is about 1/2 of the cost of Office.

TD, LN - You guys make great points and I will take you at your word. Normally, I would not hesitate to update.

Please give me some insight there and I will start the upgrade process tonight! Seriously, I have wanted to do this for some time, but have been scared away by reading too many situations on these forums.
TD - you have a good sense of humor. I know all versions eventually need to be left to die away. Support is not eternal. I am sure I missed the announcement that certain versions of iPhoto would no longer offer the ability to conveniently make cards, calendars, books, etc. Like the original poster, I was surprised to learn my version did not offer that functionality only by requesting it and getting denied. Sort of frosted me at the time, as you can tell by my original reply here.
If anyone can help me with the "verifying" question, I'll get off of here and let the original poster have his thread back!

Is my Satellite L350D-213 supported for TV output?

I'm not sure i'm able to display my laptop screen onto my TV, i'm a bit of a newbie to this sort of stuff :S
My laptop model is Toshiba Satellite L350D-213, if my laptop is not supported for it; is there any other way i could display it?
Thanks,
alexdarbon.

Hi
It seems that your TV supports the s-video socket.
Therefore you could use a cable [VGA to S-Video|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61cIaRuNTZL._SL500_AA300_.jpg]
There is also an PC input socket available this means that you can connect the LCD as an external monitor to the notebook.
I think for this connection an VGA cable should be ok.
I would recommend visiting an electronic equipment dealer downtown and to ask for a right cable.

Does A2DP support in leopard mean A2DP driver for Vista on MBP?

Would love to have A2DP bluetooth support for my MBP, and I know it's coming next month. Also next month in leopard is the official release of Boot camp and therefore I should imagine a full bunch of windows drivers for the MBP. My question is, if they are bunging A2DP support into leopard do you think the bluetooth drivers written for windows will also include it? I mainly run Vista on my MBP (not out of choice, but you try getting Visual Studio to run on OSX).

Support for DbXml specific functionality in XQuery vs. Shell or API

Is / will there be any support for doing common commands in pure XQuery rather than just programmatically or through the shell? For example, in the shell I can create / list / delete indexes on a container, output query plans, etc. Are the same functions that are called through the shell available as XQuery functions? possibly in a dbxml function namespace?
In a related question, but possibly deserving of a new thread if it doesn't already have one - I know XQuilla has the ability to call registered external functions from parsed XQuery, is there a way to tell DbXml to register a function with XQuilla's static context before using it? that would make it possible for me to add the functionality described above myself without disturbing your distributed code.

Not so handy with C++ (my everday languages are PHP and Java), but if you say it can be done then I'll take a hack at it. If you happen to have examples of how other people have done it and you could point me at them it would be marvelous.
To answer your second question: "bingo." It mostly means less interface work and brings it closer to what SQL can do in relational databases.
The project allows the end user to define their own document structures (schema definitions more or less) and then create instances of these documents in a XML editing interface. For each document type, the end user is also able to define a set of named queries (abstracted function declarations) which lets us captures business rules without customizing our PHP code. Because the structure and queries that will be used against the documents are user defined its fairly impossible for me to automatically setup adequate indexes for the container of each set of documents. So I need an interface to allow the user to create / review / delete the indexes themselves.
We've already created an interface that allows the user to execute arbitrary queries against a selected document. In the future we'd also like this same interface to do result set based content updates (through the XmlModify class) and whole document addition / replacement. So inclusion of index control makes sense as well. We can find ways to use the APIs, it just seems like this could benefit more than just our project.
Placing the functionality from the shell into xquery extension functions seems analogous to having the UPDATE, DELETE and CREATE syntaxes of SQL.

Colors Lack of Support for Nvidia!

I switched to Mac for the sole purpose of using "Final Touch"..shortly after it was purchased and is now Color. I bought the new studio package and loaded it all on my Workstation. Low and behold...no support for Firewire out!!...so I will have to buy an AJA earlier then planned...and I can only get 8 bit color renderning depth in settings regardless of footage quality, bit depth, resolution, or codec. My system is a Dual Quad Core 3GHZ so 8 CPUS "Octo Mac" with 9GB of RAM and 2 TB RAID storage with a Nvidia Quadro 4500! It's rather frustrating that the highest end system apple can make is crippled in Color and I have to get a lesser system (ATI card) to make it run optimally. Any answers? I purchased the Quadro because I work in Maya...but now I think I will have to save the $1400 difference and get the ATI card so I can work in a higher bit depth , and afford to purchase a High end AJA card for output. Any ideas or answers?

Hello,
i posted another thread about the limitation of 8bit color depth and no realtime playback and found out that it was the same problem. We had a nvidia card installed. I just installed the app on a 8core intel with ati x1900 and it works impressivley well. Perfect playback and performance. We are putting primary, 3 secondaries with super soft gradients and a pan and scan plus output correction and the systems delivers still 22fps in 2k dpx sequences. Quite amazing. But yes, nvidia gave us 8fps with an uncorrected image.
Get the x1900 it will make you happy.

Lack of support for FIM database mirroring

The official line is that database mirroring is not a supported architecture for the FIM deployment. I am not proposing using this, however I'd like to understand 1) What the issues really would be with a mirrored database deployment, 2) Will support
ever be added for this, and will it come in the form of SQL AlwaysOn?
Really appreciate help and input.
Rgds,
David

Database mirroring comes has two modes regarding transactions: synchronous or asynchronous.
Synchronous requires that the data be committed in both places before releasing the transaction. This has a big performance impact on the FIM Service database and to a lesser extent on the FIM Sync Database.
Asynchronous means that data isn't committed in both places at the same time, the mirror can fall behind and then in failover you could be behind. In order to have automatic failover with Mirroring you have to be able to modify the connection string to include
the failover partner or the client has to support getting that data at first logon. While you can modify the FIM database connection strings, it is not understood if FIM is using database clients that support mirroring. I believe it is. Even with asynchronous
you still have performance hit for copying every transaction to the mirror.
SQL Always On combines the best of mirroring and clustering to allow you to group databases together into an availability set, and then automatic failover the whole group to another server. It should be noted that Always On makes use of a similar underlying
mechanisms as mirroring to copy the data -- this is evident when you read that Always on also has an asynchronous and synchronous mode. You will most likely run into the same performance quandary.
Will the product group add support for it? My guess is that it depends on if they find a good way to address the performance issues.

10.10.3 breaks support for ATI video cards

The 10.10.3 update has broken support for a bunch of ATI video cards that worked just fine under 10.10.2. This is for my Mac Pro 5,1. Some folks also reported issues with breaking support for Nvidia cards, but have mentioned that the latest Nvidia beta drivers might work.
There is a thread that may be found here that has some details:
OS X 10.10.3 Update
and here (reverting back to 10.10.2 fixes things):
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1864352
Specifically, my Visiontek Eyefinity 6 7750 stopped working, and another users Radeon 7770 stopped working. Yet, the 7970 continues to work. Reverting to the old ATI 5770 that came with the machine renders it usable. This is a problem as the 7750 only took a single slot, and the two 5770s eat up 3 slots so I can't use my USB 3 card, etc.
I remember this once happened before. I think it was with the 10.9.2 update which borked a bunch of video cards that worked fine under 10.9.1, and then were again made to work just fine with the 10.9.3 update.
All the 'standard' fixes have been attempted. Clean installs. Fix permissions. Etc.
Not sure why apple would seemingly disable support for these cards, other than by accident, I assume, much like happened with the 10.9.2 update.
Also not sure if just copying the correct driver from 10.10.2 might solve the problem until Apple get's around to fixing the issue. Has anyone tried? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, i am using dual Cinema Display 30 and 23 with a HIS ATI 7750 1 GB on a Mac Pro 3.1. Post upgrade from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3 my display eded unusable blurry. Therefore I have tried to replace the 10.10.3 kext with the previous 10.10.2. But it did not work out as expected. I managed to get some video output but no acceleration at all. Therefore the system is unusable. Therefore i full downgraded to 10.10.2 now.
Never the less it might be a good starting point for someone to get acceleration running. This is what I did:
I have to set the nvram variable kext-dev-mode=1, but be warned this will allow any unsigned > .kext to load, including rootlets, malware, etc.
I did this in order to allow me to modify the kext if necessary and to ensure that if 10.10.2 kext might be locked that they still be loaded and the computer will not be prevented from boot.
sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"
sudo shutdown -r now
Post this i copied from my other Mac running 10.10.2 the file /System/Library/Extensions/AMDRadeonX4000.kext to my Mac Pro 3.1 running 10.10.3 with no proper video output. Basically i copied all ATI related kext from one mac to the other.
copied [MAC10.10.2]/System/Library/Extensions/ATI* ----> [MAC10.10.3]/System/Library/Extensions/ATI*
copied [MAC10.10.2]/System/Library/Extensions/AMD* ----> [MAC10.10.3]/System/Library/Extensions/AMD*
someone needs to do a diff here to identify the file with is necessary the only one i found with a significant change seems to be AMDRadeonX4000.kext
I forced to rebuild kext cache manually
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions
And reboot!
sudo shutdown -r now
After the reboot I had display output but no acceleration at all. Seeing the video out put made me happy but the system is unusable to to the lack of acceleration of the display. I am really looking forward for Apple to fix the update and to reapply support for the ATI GPUs hence it allows to save environmental resources to keep good products like the Mac Pro 3.1 running...

Limited Support for Time characteristics 0FISCPER/0CALMONTH/0CALQUARTER

The time characteristics 0FISCPER/0CALMONTH/0CALQUARTER are converted into Character type value in Universe which results in following problems on switching to Webi based reporting from current SAP BI front end tools.
Problem 1: Sorting does not work correctly using the Key Value or Description as both are being treated as Character values. While setting up the Custom sort sounds like a workaround, the sort list has to be generated for all possible months/quarter/year combination that will be seen in the reports. Not a good solution when business analysts has to build their own reports from Universe.
Problem 2: Using range selections (E.g. between, greater than, less than etc) in Universe conditions/prompts does not yield correct results due to the same fact that all values are treated as characters. Possible workaround is use this kind of conditions in BI query variables directly. But, this does reduce the flexibility of selections a lot, especially when users are used to simple ways of making range selections in BEx.
Problem 3: keying in the prompt values for these characteristics/dimensions (both Key and text) is very cumbersome due to format issues. E.g. 1/2010 is no more recognized as valid fiscal period. You have to enter key value as K4/001/2010 or Text value JAN 2010 or January 2010 (based on text selected in query/infoobject). Only way of simplifying user input is to use LOVs and let users always select from LOVs. But, the users lose ability to simply key in values.
Problem 4: The default LOVs generated for Fiscal period takes values from the master data and hence might show all available fiscal periods including special periods 00,13 thru 16 etc. even though they may not be relevant to the underlying report (e.g. a Sales report). This can confuse users who are not used to seeing these periods before. Possible workaround is to apply filters on LOV using condition and in some cases this should fix the problem.
While some of the workaround for above problems sound acceptable (3 & 4), the others are not in my opinion(unless there is a better workaround anyone else have). My question is to experts from SAP is, can we expect better support for these objects in future Service packs? If not, then perhaps we need to move away from using this objects in reporting and use 0FISCPER3, 0CALMONTH2, 0CALQUART1 in combination with 0FISCYEAR/0CALYEAR to overcome above issues.
Though this can mean (1) good amount of backend changes to include these Infoobjects in underlying Infoproviders, if there are not present already (2) User training to explain them to use these new time char fields instead of the ones they are already used to.
I'm fairly new to BO and might have overseen somethings. I have already searched the BO forum related to this topic and did not find any satisfactory answers. Any input on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Sree

The issue is that these InfoObjects are not Data Type DATS in BI, they are NUMC and PERI7. Only InfoObjects of type DATS will be converted to Date format in the BO universe.
Workarounds:
- instead of using these time characteristics to filter results, consider using transaction dates, such as posting date.
- create a customer InfoObject ZFISCPER which is a transformation of 0FISCPER to DATS data type.
- create a custom variable in the WEBI reports which looks at the key for 0CALMONTH and only considers the first 2 characters which should identify the month (e.g. 01 = January, etc.). You can then sort on this and it avoids the year concatenation issue (e.g. JAN 2008, JAN 2009, JAN 2010).

Support for 8-bit pseudocolor visuals on Solaris 10 u8 Virtualbox guest

Hello,
I am running Solaris 10 u8 x86 as a Virtualbox (3.0.8) guest on a WinXP host with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 vcard. I use JDS for the Solaris guest, and only 24-bit truecolor visuals are available for the desktop. I desperately need to run Xnest in 8-bit pseudocolor mode for an application. The video driver supplied with the Vbox Solaris guest additions has limited capability, and I think that until that driver is upgraded, I am out of luck. Does anyone have any different thoughts about that?
Is there a way to edit xorg.conf to get support for 8-bit pseudocolor overlay graphics? Wouldchanging the video driver in that file from vboxvideo to either VGA or VESA help? Any advice from an X expert would be GREATLY appreciated.
I've also tried to use svcadm to get the guest to open in 8-bit mode (default depth), but I think that the Vbox video driver (standard and VESA) only support 16- and 32-bit color modes. Is there some other way to get JDS or CDE in the guest to run in 8-bit color?
Thanks.....

Regarding expense, I was referring to the dual-headed card you suggested, not Xming.ah. my bad. Though most cards nowadays have dual outputs.
Here is a Vbox report documenting the whole situation, including Sun's replies regarding DirectColor:
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4557
it looks like you guys were talking past each other.
>
Note my outputs of xdpyinfo in there: no Pseudocolor visuals in 24-bit mode in the guest (the cause of my problem). My host NVIDIA card has dual DVI outputs, and I have two monitors; are you saying that I set one monitor in Windows to run in 8-bit, and then run Xming on that monitor, and then set up a remote display for my guest, and try and get the guest to display to that remote display? If so, that could be worth a try. If not, maybe I did not fully understand the idea from your first post. I'd rather not have to go out and buy a new dual-headed card unless absolutely necessary.The problem you have is that virtualbox needs a 8 bit display somewhere to send the output to. Send your end display is a windows display in 24 bit mode, it's a lose since windows won't (at least the last time I looked) allow an 8 bit window in a 24 bit desktop. You could try running the main windows display in 8 bit mode and then starting virtual box, but odds of things going in your favor is not great.
Your new idea of running a vnc server in 8-bit mode within Solaris is very interesting indeed. I am unfamiliar with vnc. I saw this page:
http://www.softpanorama.org/Xwindows/VNC/vnc_on_solaris.shtml
It says that VNC comes with Solaris 10 u5, on the companion CD. I assume that u8 has it also.Somewhere along the line, sun began do bundle vnc as a part of solaris proper. It should be in /bin/vncserver.
I'll look into that. If you know of any other source of info on vnc, please let me know. Thank you VERY MUCH for the suggestion!!!Here's more or less what you should do:
1) login to your virtual solaris box
2) Start up a 8 bit vnc server by typing "vncserver -depth 8 :1"
3) After the setup questions (if I remember, you need to at least set a password), you can connect to the vncserver by
typing "vncviewer :1" and entring the password.
You could also get a windows VNC viewer and connect to the solaris vnc server. This may render faster, since you aren't running the vncviewer in a virtual session.
4) In the vnc viewer display (which may look funny because the default setup is usually a horriffic twm session), start your Xnest.
If you want cde, edit your .vnc/xstartup to look like:
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
dtterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
dtwm &
If you want jds, replace the dttterm/dtwm with gnome-panel.
-r

Less Outputs means no support for multiroom A/V users
