Logic Behind 3 way merge of RPD

Hi All,
I m a bit confused about Merging of RPDs, to give my understanding, we have
1. original repository (A)
2. current repository (B)
3. modified repository (C)
if i am looking for merging the B and C RPDs does that mean its the union of catalog tables and where does A come into picture of 3 way merge can anyone give me the brief logic that goes behind so called "3 way merge"
i mean something like: A(B "merge" C) => D, this mean D has catalog elements that A&B&C have?
Regards,
Sreekanth

Hi,
Yes D = A + "XY"
Yes, you have to choose what version of Z shoud it save...
I don't know what happen, because I haven't tried, to have in one rpd Z object to be a dimmension, and in second rpd object Z to be an fact table...
or same variable name in one rpd to be at repository variable and in second to be a session variable.. i don't know..
A very good explication you can find on help of Adiministration Tool at (find merge, second topic)
Oracle® Business Intelligence Server Administration Guide > Completing Setup and Managing Oracle BI Repository Files > Merging Oracle BI Repositories
you can find there Examples of the Results of Some Decision Choices...

Challanges, complications in merging rpds without parent (two way merge)

Hi,
Could someone throw some light on what kind of challanges can be faced while merging rpds.?
My first rpd is based on Essbase database and second one on Oravle DB (e-Biz App).
I want to merge those two rpds so that I can create one report in Answers having data displayed from e-Biz (actuals) and Budget from planning (essbase).
Now each rpd will have its own connection pool ,and initialization blocks.
After merging will the setting for connection pool(s) , initialiation block(s) of the rpds will be affacted and will they need to be reset again manually? or will the settings remain intact as they were in the RPDs before merging?
I am trying to understand administrative /maintainnce overhead , and ongoing efforts , complications after merging those rpds.
Thanks and Regards

AVIs don't have the notions of overlays. However, if you're going to write it and play it with NI Vision, I can suggest a solution.
Disclaimer: It's dirty, but it works...
The principle is to extract the overlay and save it as an extra info with each frame of the AVI. When you read the AVI, you retrieve the image without overlay, the overlay attached, and if you wish to view the overlay, copy it to the image you're reading from the AVI file.
The problem is that we don't have a function to extract the overlay in vision. Instead, what you can do is create an empty temporary Image. In the loop where you're writing the AVI, copy the overlay from the image into the empty temp image using IMAQ Copy Overlay (Even if the dest image is empty, it works), then flatten this image to string (including Vision Extra Info), and connect this string to the data input of IMAQ AVI Write Frame.
When you read the frame using IMAQ AVI Read Frame, Unflatten the image that contains the overlay (Data Out), and copy this overlay into the image read from the AVI stream.
Hope that can help.

Could you please help me understand the logic behind certain things in OSX?

Ok, so I try to be an open-minded guy, and I bear no particular allegiance to either OS. I own a Sony TZ and a Mac mini, and my wife has a MacBook Pro. I use both Oses.
There are certain things I have trouble understanding in th Mac OS, so what I'd really like to understand the logic behind certain design decisions in the OS, and why these might be better ways of accomplishing things. I know how to get around all of the things I mention, so I'm not looking for instructions; rather I'm looking for well-thought out explanations for why these features are the way they are.
*1. Programs don't quit when you close the window.*
- This totally puzzles me. Why design it so that program windows are independent are from the running program itself? There must be a reason, cold someone explain how this is more efficient? To me, it's simpler to click an X on the window you are working on to completely shut down a program, rather than to either mouse through menus to select quit, or be obligated to using Command Q keyboard shortcut.
*2. Menu bars are on the desktop.*
- Related to the first point, why make the main thing framing your desktop be something which is always changing depending on the program? Why have file menus outside the main window of the program. Having the menu bar on the desktop then necessitates an additional area, the dock, which has to be used as a launch bar and to tell you what programs are currently running. That obligates you to having 3 different areas of screen: 1 for program menus, 1 for running programs, and the program window itself. This seems very inefficient to me. Not to mention all the messy-looking floating palettes all over the place, again because everything is separated and not nicely contained in a single program window.
- Really, having a changing menu bar that frames the desktop isn't even consistent wth the whole desktop metaphor, which is that you place things on a desktop, like programs, files, etc. Are you changing the whole desk everytime you load a new program, yet the wallpaper stays the same? Doesn't seem to be logically consistent to me.
*3. No delete key.*
- This one really gets me. Why make such a commonly used key be a function key (Fn + Backspace)? Why make the user press a secondary key for a major function?
*4. No Cut command.*
- I read something about how Cut doesn't actually make sense when moving files around, but I obviously didn't fully understand it. Why make the user command drag, when you can just do Ctrl X??.
*5. Launching Apps from the Finder.*
- This seems weird to me, that you find and launch applications from the same thing you use to view files. Program icons in the finder are placeholders for the entire program, not files, yet they are found in the file viewer. Again, to me this seems logically mixed. I really dislike scrolling through Finder to look for apps. I know there is Spotlight and the dock (used as a quicklauncher), but these are really just workarounds for a setup which seems inherently illogical. To me at least, a menu of applications make more sense, ie, the start menu.
Anyway, those are all I can think of now, although there are other things aout OSX that don't make sense to me.
Thanks in advance! If I can understand Apple's reasoning and it is convincingly better, that will go a long way towards making me more comfortable with this OS.

1. Programs don't quit when you close the window.
That's really more a matter of what you're used to. It comes down to a programming decision as to what Apple and Microsoft considered to make sense. MS thinks that if there are no open windows, you're done using the app. Apple thinks you aren't necessarily done yet, as others have mentioned. I certainly wouldn't want Photoshop to quit every time I closed the last open image I was working on. Would be nice though if Safari would quit when I close the last open browser window. It's quick to relaunch if you really weren't done with it, so wouldn't be much of a bother to have it shut down with the last window.
2. Menu bars are on the desktop.
Makes way more sense the Microsoft's approach of repeating the same file menu on every open document in a program. How many places do you need to see File, Options and other common menu headings?
2. Menu bars are on the desktop.
Related to number two. The forward app is the only one you can directly work in, so why not have the menu bar change to reflect the choices for that application? When you go back to the previous app you were in, the menu bar changes back. So what loss of functionality is there? It comes back to not having menu bars on every single open window. There's no need or purpose for it.
3. No delete key.
Backspace does the same thing.
4. No Cut command.
Command+X, not Ctrl+X. This is Mac, not Windows. There's also very little need to ever do this from the keyboard. If you're moving files that are on the same drive/partition, then just drag and drop from the target folder window to the source. It's automatically a move. If going from one physical drive or partition to another, it's automatically a copy. Press and hold the Command key during the drag to make it a move.
Besides, you don't really think Windows cuts the entire folder or file contents into RAM, do you? If your computer has 4 GB of RAM, and you cut 12 GB of data, it of course can't possibly fit in the clipboard. All Windows does when you do a cut is visually remove the files and folders from the screen. If the items are going to a location on the same drive/partition, it does the same thing as if you did a drag and drop move. The file table is simply updated to reflect the new file or folder locations. If it's to a different drive/partition, it then performs a copy then delete action, same as OS X.
5. Launching Apps from the Finder.
A program is just as much a file as any other file. It takes up space on the drive. The OS of course knows what to do with it when you double click an app. Same as it knows what to do when you double click a document related to an app. Windows is no different. An .exe file is also just as much a file as a .doc file. The .exe extension tells Windows to try and treat it as a program to load into RAM. It's not just a simple placeholder. The program has to be made up of something.

What is Apple's logic behind this?

I open a file (any kind will do) and make some changes. After I'm done, I hit CMD + W to close the file and the program correctly asks if I want to save my changes, close without saving, or cancel closing the file. The Save button is highlighted on the button and outside the button. If I hit the tab button, the outside highlight moves to the different buttons, but the button highlight remains on the Save option, so when I hit enter, it thinks I'm saying to Save.
Can anyone explain the logic behind this? I just don't get why Apple thinks this is an efficient/right way to do things. Thanks for any helpful answers.

Hi--
To actually select the button that has focus (the outside highlight), hit the space bar.
I suspect the rationale is something like this: they don't want to override the usual functionality of the buttons, but just offer a second or third way to select buttons.
Many, if not most apps, particularly in the situation you describe, already have pretty solid keyboard shortcuts for the three buttons. Of course, "enter" for "Save", "esc" for "Cancel", and "command"-"d" almost always works for "Don't Save". From observation, of those people who use keyboard shortcuts in dialogs, this is by far the most common way they do it. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use the tab key in dialog boxes (and I think it's off by default except for navigating between text boxes).

What is the logic behind the oracle database connections....

Hi,
We have crontab alerts are enabled for the oracle database client connection.
For Production databases the alerts are coming continuously until it gets connected.
For QA databases it will throw the message that the oracle client connection fails and again it will prompt whenever it gets connected.
Please let me know the logic behind these scnerions.
Pavan..

Hi,
Thanks for the update, Sorry the question was not clear. let me put it in a clear way.
Following is our crontab which alerts us if any database/listener goes down. But it alerts us only once for one successful/unsuccessful connection. For Eg: If the crontab not able to connect to the database for once then it throws an alert only once and waits for a successful connection.
I would like to change the logic in this crontab in such a way that, it should keep on alerting us for all the unsuccessful connections and once or twice for successful connection.

Merging 2 rpd makes the Datasource and BMM layers gets duplicated

Hi,
I am trying to merge two RPD. To be specific I am trying to merge the 'procurement' RPD which gets generated when you only install the 'procurement' in OBIA with our production RPD which has 'Finance' and 'Supply Chain' already.
The new catalogs of 'procurement' RPD gets added up in the 'Merged' RPD but the Datasource and BMM layers gets duplicated.
Appreciate any pointers which can resolve the issue...
Best Regards

Hi,
I corrected the OLAP_USER and OLAP_DSN value of the 'Procurement' RPD to be same as my 'PRODUCTION RPD' . Also I updated the conection pool password to be in sync with the Production RPD.
I tried 2-way and 3-way merge.
Still both times I am getting duplicate Datasource and BMM with a #.
Am I missing something? Please help.
--Best Regards

Logic behind negative 'Fade Out Linear Value'?

Hi,
our team is designing an ipad app. We did some testing on audio fades in Audition and found a 'Fade Out Linear Value' of -15 (over 2000 ms) is the perfect setting.
However, we now have to pass on this information to a development company in a design document. I tried to find out what the logic is behind this setting so it can be mathematically explained and reproduced in iOS, but I cannot find it in the documentation.
So does anybody know the logic behind this setting, or does anybody have an idea on how to pass on this information to an external development company in a design document?
Greetings,
Pieter-Jan

I don't think that any of us will have the faintest idea, quite frankly, although I'll check and see if there's any obvious logic to it. IIRC, last time I checked this I couldn't see any direct correlation to anything else at all.
The only way that I can think of detailing this to somebody else would be to record a constant amplitude sine wave in audition, apply what you think is your ideal fade, and then measure the amplitude of the sine wave at fixed intervals along it. Make a note of the dB figures and the times, and send that to them.

At max how many logical columns can be created in RPD

Hi All,
At max how many logical columns can be created in RPD. I have a requirement of creating 200 columns. Will there be any problem .
Is there any predefind number of columns for RPD creation??
Please help ..

Hi Annapurna,
There's no limit that I'm aware of or which is mentioned anywhere. Just as an example: I have a logical fact table with around 750 logical columns (>500 original measures & 250 derived measures). No issue whatsoever. Opening the presentation table through answers takes about 2-3 seconds (the NQSQL command has a lot to retrieve), but that's about it.

Logic behind MC46 & MC50

Hi Everybody,
I want to know the logic behind
1)MC46 i.e. Report for Non moving & slow moving stock
2)MC50- Report for Dead stock
My client wants to know the logic behind these reports.
What i need to explain them exactly?
Please guide.

The logic behind these reports is to identify dead and slow moving stock (and it's monetary value) in order to make a stocking decision such as to promote the material (reduce price), scrap the material (full or partial stock quantities). These reports may also help in future demand/forecast planning.
Dead and slow moving stock has lots of negative impacts on an organisation such as increased inventory levels (monet tied up in stock), reduced stock turn and wasted physical warehouse space (particularly if dead/slow moving stock is preventing a fast moving item from being in the warehouse/plant).
Regards,
Matt

What is the logic behind the list of default colors in the color tab of the score options in the project settings interface?

I desperately want to know why each note is assigned it's particular color in the score tab of the projects settings interface...
Was this done at random or is there some logic behind it all? Einstein and Newton have completely different ideas about note/color association...their theorys can be easily found on the internet. I've messed around with applying their ideas to the user pallette just for fun. Now, I really want to know if the makers of Logic chose the colors they did for the factory defaults for a particular reason. Please help if you can!

Stand alone tool for 3 way merge [SOLVED]

I'm looking for a standalone tool for a base - contributor - target merge. Use case is: I have old.source, old.patches and new.source. After patching new.source with old.patches there will be rejected.patches. Then I want to do a 3 way merge between (a) old.source patched with accepted patches, (b) old.source patched with all patches and (c) new.source patched with accepted patches.
What's a good tool for that, or (even better) is there a tool supporting the workflow above?
I know that this is part of every version control system, but it seems like an overkill to put things under version control just for this.

kdiff3 looks good, esp. this bit:
Special case: Files with the same name
If all files have the same name but are in different directories, you can reduce typework by specifying the filename only for the first file. E.g.:
kdiff3 dir1/filename dir2 dir3
plus the fact that they have a whole chapter on recursive directory merges in the documentation. And the fact that they *have* documentation - not a given with KDE apps these days.
Thanks!

What's the logic behind the prefixes in User Tips?

I'm browsing through the User Tips, and maybe my memory is fuzzy, but I don't recall all those prefixes in the subject lines.
e.g. kmosx, kmos, k.mac, kad, kaw, etc.
Is there a logic behind it somewhere that would be useful for searching? e.g. put one in the search box and get all the User Tips on such-and-such topic?
If so, can someone please sticky-post a glossary in the User Tips forum?
Thanks.
