Matching New records - Without Record ID

Hi,
Can you help me with this?
I am trying to get a list of matching/duplicate records for a new record which is not added to MDM yet. (ie., no Record ID for the new record)
The RetrieveMatchedRecordsCommand cmd is expecting the source record id.
The RetrieveMatchingResultCommand cmd getmatchingresults returns null (as specified in the java doc). But this command gives me the number of duplicates by getMatchCount() class. If I can get the duplicate records (existing in MDM) also, it solves the purpose.
Have you worked on similar scenario?
Cheers,
Prabhu

Hi Prabhu,
Thanks for the feedback, I am happy to help !
RetrieveMatchingResultCommand is used when you run matching for multiple source records (already exist in MDM), for iterating through match results of each source record.
Please see farther info at
Re: MDM Repository gets hanged while executing Matching Strategy

  • How to record without recording other tracks

    When I start to record a real instrument GB always records the metranome and the drum track on the new track. Why? I need to have solo recordings so I can mix my songs. Thanx.....

    The Microphone is picking up the sound in the room from your monitors you should place headphones on so you can hear metronome and drums but the microphone will not pick it up. Hope that helps.

    Well,
    I tried the "Internet Recovery" option and finally saw Mac OS X Mountain Lion's install page but after waiting 7 hours when I just thought its going to start installing, I got another progress bar with 36 hours remining time to download "Additional Components" then after progressing 2-3 hours, it shows "Unable to write installation something..., Contact Apple Care"
    Then I accidently rebooted the machine and now it seems Internet Recovery don't work anymore, it shows "support.apple.com - 40 something!" error, and finally when I tried to reboot using Recovery HD, I found it's gone as-well!
    To be honest, I don't know what to do now, I am and dissapointed... also I do not have any Apple Store nearby, there is an authorized country reseller almost 650/km far away from my residents and they even charges too high (like $250) for doing such repairs (as per phone conversation)
    If anyone have any idea or anything to help me with, please do share- I'd be eternally grateful!

  • Your credit card does not match your bank's records

    your credit card does not match your bank's records. appears at purchase in itunes store.
    2 months with no solution on this. Nothing has changed with my bank at all. Yet apple was able to bill the same card for my mobile me acct. so the card does in fact work! I emailed and got what I already knew. see below, then my reply.
    Dear Eric,
    You can change your iTunes Store billing information at any time. When you update your credit card number or billing address through the iTunes Store, any equivalent information you might use with MobileMe, iPhoto, Aperture, or the Apple Store online is also updated.
    To update your billing address or credit card number, follow these steps:
    1) Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Eric, installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
    2) Click this link: http://phobos.apple.com/accountSummary
    iTunes will automatically launch and the sign-in dialog will appear.
    3) If you are not already signed in, you will need to enter your iTunes Store account name and password and then click the Account Info button.
    4) On your Apple Account Information page, click Edit Payment Information
    Make the necessary changes. Your billing address should be exactly the same as the address on your credit card statement and with the United States Postal Service (click "Find a ZIP Code" at http://www.usps.com and follow the onscreen instructions). This is important, because even differences in punctuation, abbreviation, and capitalization can cause payment errors that might prevent you from using the iTunes Store.
    5) When all of the information is up to date, click Done.
    When you update your billing information, the iTunes Store places an authorization hold on your credit card to verify your account information. You might see this authorization request on your online statement. This is not an actual charge; it is simply a test to confirm that your credit card account is active and has credit available to accommodate transactions.
    Authorization requests are automatically removed from your account by your financial institution. The amount of time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution. If you have any questions about the way your financial institution handles authorization requests, please contact their customer-service department.
    Thank you for your time. If you have any other questions or concerns, regarding your iTunes Store account, Eric, please feel free to reply to this email. Have a great day.
    Sincerely,
    Timothy

    My reply
    I've read the support pages through and through and have gone through all of these steps in the past. Nothing on my end has changed. This card has been used for approx three years now, never to have been edited. As stated... In the midst of all of this difficulty, you were able to bill the same card for my mobile me subscription. Which should technically not gone through due to the supposed billing info not matching my bank's records! So quite simply, my card does work, this is something on your end, not my bank.
    And I did however change the type case to match my statement to no avail. This never made a difference in the past, but I tried it regardless.
    After attempting things for two months, I am growing tired of trying to spend my money on Apple. I will try one more suggestion if one is available. After that, I have had great success with the amazon store and may have to flip over to them. My time is way too valuable to be troubleshooting a problem I did not create.
    any specific help would be appreciated (please do not copy and paste tips from the support pages... been there)
    Eric

    As a follow up to my last post, I thought I would offer you my customer service experience as I am hoping you can avoiding going through what I've been through and that this will save you some time.
    I'm listing the discourse chronologically for your convenience:
    Specific request: My credit card or billing information is not accepted
    Details:
    iTunes says my credit card information does not match my bank information and will not let me make purchases. I have updated my account information and I still cannot make purchases. I get the same message that my card does not match my bank's information- which it does.
    Please help.
    TrackID: 1--------------
    Dear ----------,
    Welcome to Apple iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Snehashish.
    I am sorry to hear that you haven't been able to make purchases on the iTunes Store with your credit card. I know this is frustrating, and I will try to provide as much information as I can to help you resolve it.
    -----------, upon checking your account I find your credit card will be expired after this month. So you have to change it then. I suggest you to change it now or contact your credit card company as it is declined by iTunes.
    The iTunes Store has been unable to verify an authorization from your credit card company. There are several possible reasons for this:
    - Your credit card company's servers may have been busy. Trying again later may resolve the issue.
    - Your card may not have been activated yet. If so, you will need to activate it.
    - You may need to call your credit card company before the authorization is approved.
    - You may need to ensure that you correctly located the credit card's security code. To see instructions for locating the security code, choose View My Account from the iTunes Store menu, sign in to your account, click Edit Payment Information, and then click the "What is this?" link next to the Security Code field.
    - Your billing name or address does not match the address listed on your credit card statement. Any discrepancy in punctuation, abbreviation, or capitalization can cause errors, which might prevent you from purchasing from the iTunes Store. If you moved, or if your zip code changed recently, ask your credit card company to make sure its records are up to date and match exactly what you are entering as your billing information.
    --------, please follow these steps to confirm or update your account information:
    1) Go to the My Apple ID site at:
    http://appleid.apple.com/
    2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
    3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
    4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
    5) Click "Addresses" in the left column.
    6) Confirm or edit your information.
    7) Click "Phone Numbers" on the left. Make sure the area codes and phone numbers are entered correctly in their respective fields.
    8) Click Save Changes.
    Once your information is updated, try placing an order on the iTunes Store again. If the iTunes Store still cannot obtain an authorization for your card, it means that your billing information is still incorrect, either with your credit card company or with its verification system, which may be handled by another company.
    Fortunately, you may be able to make iTunes Store purchases with another payment method. For example, if PayPal accepts your credit card, you can use your PayPal account to buy from the iTunes Store. If you need more information about using PayPal on the iTunes Store, please let me know.
    ------, I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for your interest; I am pleased that you want to be an iTunes Store customer. Have a great day!

    Hello again,
    I wanted to send a quick note to see if you are still experiencing any difficulties with the iTunes Store. Resolving your issue is important to me, so please don't hesitate to reply if you need any further assistance.
    Sincerely,
    Snehashish
    iTunes Store Customer Support
    Greetings Snehashish,
    When I wrote my original ticket it was to address the issue of the fact I had already updated my credit card information and I was still receiving the error message of "my credit card not matching my bank information" in iTunes. Giving me instructions on how to update my account information was not helpful because I had already taken that step. So, no, my problem remains unresolved and I am unable to make any purchases in iTunes or update my iPhone.
    Luckily, the item I was looking to purchase was available on Amazon digitally so I went ahead and bought it there without any problem whatsoever with my credit card- furthering the mystery and the enigma that is iTunes rejection of my credit card.
    Please send the next step to resolve my issue or please forward my ticket to someone who can resolve this for me.
    Thank you,
    Dear ------------,
    Welcome back to Apple iTunes Store Customer Support. This is Snehashish again.
    I am glad to hear that your credit card works on another website. Some of our customer resolves this type of issue by removing credit card from their account, buy a free app and then re-add the credit card to account. I suggest you to try that.

    1) Open iTunes and sign in to the iTunes Store.
    2) Select "View My Account" from the Store menu.
    3) Enter your password and click the View Account button.
    4) Click the Edit Payment Information button.
    5) Select "None" as the payment type.
    6) Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
    After you select the "None" option, please attempt to download a free App from iTunes Store. Then sign out from your account and sign in back and re-add your credit card information.
    --------, then, please follow these steps to confirm or update your account's information:
    1) Go to the My Apple ID site at:
    http://appleid.apple.com/
    2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
    3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
    4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
    5) Click "Addresses" in the left column.
    6) Confirm or edit your information.
    7) Click "Phone Numbers" on the left. Make sure the area codes and phone numbers are entered correctly in their respective fields.
    8) Click Save Changes.
    Once your information is updated, try placing an order on the iTunes Store again.
    If you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me again. Have a nice day, ----------!
    Hello again Snehashish,
    My address is confirmed and matches my bank account. I followed the steps as you directed with deleting my information downloading the free application and then re-entering my payment information. I continue get the error message that my credit card information does not match my bank's records. I have as of today called the bank and confirmed twice that my banking address is correct. The error is not happening on the banking side of the equation.
    Please send the next step to resolve my issue or please forward my ticket to someone who can resolve this for me.
    Thank you very much,
    Dear -------,
    Welcome back to Apple iTunes Store Customer Support. This is Snehashish again.
    Thank you for your response. Upon reviewing your account I find you removed that credit card successfully. I suggest you to update that information to start purchasing. You can also use gift card as well.
    --------, you can change your iTunes Store billing information at any time. When you update your credit card number or billing address through the iTunes Store, any equivalent information you might use with MobileMe, iPhoto, Aperture, or the Apple Store online is also updated.

    Despite already having the current version of iTunes, I re-downloaded the program and installed it on my computer. I logged into the link you sent me. I entered in my banking (again and without mistake) information exactly as it is on my billing information. I have now entered my credit card information correctly on iTunes repeatedly- it has not deviated nor changed and there has never been a mistake in my data entry. I have used this credit card at other locations and online stores without error and my banking and credit card information is correct.
    I entered a credit card I DO NOT want to use in conjunction with my iTunes account and it was accepted without incident or error message. The problem is that the card I do want to use, that I NEED to use to make purchases on iTunes is not accepted. Both cards are issued through the same bank- one is debit and one is credit and they both link to the same bank account with the same home address. The debit card is being rejected and the credit card is accepted. My problem is not my address nor the account number as both have been entered correctly multiple times. iTunes is rejecting my particular card even though it is working and matches my bank information. This is the card I have always used to make purchases on iTunes and this error started when my old card expired and I attempted to update my account.
    Every time I re-enter my credit card and try to make a purchase and I always get the following message:
    "There are errors or omissions in the information. Please correct the indicated items: Your credit card does not match your bank's records. Please enter a US credit card and a matching billing address."
    I have reset, re-downloaded, and re-entered everything on my end multiple times resulting in the same error from iTunes. I want to know what is happening with my account. If you do not have a solution then please escalate this ticket and please put me in contact with someone who can help me.
    Thank you for your time,
    I found my solution in the Apple Support Community. It had nothing to do with my information being incorrect. I do not require your assistance any longer.
    My issue resolution was actual very simple and came from this page. iTunes has a bug where it will not accept your information but if you add your credit card under you account in the Apple Store and CONFIRM then it will appear in your iTunes account automatically. I could have saved hours of email, calls to the bank and stupid angst if I had looked this up instead of TRYING to use Apple Customer Support. I've learned my lesson. I just want you to know that iTunes is bugged and broken in this respect and no matter how many times you enter your information IT DOESN'T WORK. I hope this helps someone else.
    Apple please tell your customer support people how to actually help instead of having them paste in worthless form letters on how to use a credit card with iTunes. Obviously it iTunes that is broken.
    PLEASE FIX.

  • HT1918 My credit card information "does not match my bank's records".

    According to iTunes, my credit card information does not match my bank's records. But, the information I filled in is all correct. How can I resolve or manage this situation?

    The exact NAME, ADDRESS and POSTAL code MUST match whatever is on file with bank. Also, make sure you select VISA , MC etc. This just happened to me when I updated a new card. Also you will get a $1.00 authorization on your account that will fall off in a few days. Don't be alarmed.

  • FRM-41106 You cannot create records without a parent record.

    Hello!
    Forms 6i.
    I have a Parent-Detail-Relationship. At the Detail-Block a "When-create-record" sets some default values on the Detail-Block.
    I got error "FRM-41106 You cannot create records without a parent record" when the Parent-Block executes a execute_query.
    I debuged the problem an found out, that the error appears in the standard-programunit "Clear_All_Master_Details".
    The error appears, when the code is deleting the detail-block "code: Clear_Block(NO_VALIDATE)".
    This is strange: The error appears only when I uses the "When-create-record"-trigger on the detail-block.
    If a comment out the trigger, no error appears.
    Why Is a "When-create-record"-trigger initiated when deleting the detail-block?
    Default-Code of "Clear_All_Master_Details":
    -- Clear all the detail blocks for this master without
    -- any further asking to commit.
    currel := Get_Block_Property(trigblk, FIRST_MASTER_RELATION);
    WHILE currel IS NOT NULL LOOP
    curdtl := Get_Relation_Property(currel, DETAIL_NAME);
    IF Get_Block_Property(curdtl, STATUS) <> 'NEW' THEN
    Go_Block(curdtl);
    Check_Package_Failure;
    Error appear here----> Clear_Block(NO_VALIDATE);
    IF :System.Block_Status <> 'NEW' THEN
    RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
    END IF;
    END IF;

    END LOOP;
    Thx in advance,
    Wolfgang

    Wolfgang,
    To be honest, I've always done this kind of thing in the Pre-Inse rt or Pre-Upda te triggers. Why is it so important for the user to see the value of these field BEFORE the IN SERT or UPDAT E? Once the record is commited, they will see these values in your form. In my experience - users are typically satisfied with this approach. If your users are not OK with this approach, perhaps you could us a When-Validate-Record trigger instead of the When-Create-Record trigger.
    I think the When-Create-Record option would still work, but your code will need a little tweak. Give the following a try:
       IF ( NVL(:termin.best_nr,'MSTR') = NVL(:pos.best_nr,'DTL')
            AND NVL(:termin.best_jj,'MSTR') = NVL(:pos.best_jj,'DTL')
            AND NVL(:termin.best_pos,'MSTR') = NVL(:pos.best_pos,'DTL') ) THEN
           <<...set_values..>>
       END IF;Remember, NULL values do not always get evaluated correctly so it is always best to use the NVL function to ensure fields are evaluated correctly.
    BTW, you indicated that you ran DEBUG on your trigger, when your IF statement was evaluated did the "set_Values" section of your code run? If it didn't - do you have other code in your WCR trigger that is setting values outside of your IF statement?

  • :new and :old into record into record variable

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me whether it is possible in 11g to copy the :new and :old records straight into record variables without having to explicitly copy every column?
    I would prefer to write this:
      create or replace trigger app1_tab1_biudr
      before insert or update or delete
      on table_1
      as
      declare
        r_tab1_old table_1%rowtype;
        r_tab1_new table_1%rowtype;
      begin
         r_tab1_new := :new;
         r_tab1_old := :old;
      end app1_tab1_biudr;instead of this
      create or replace trigger app1_tab1_biudr
      before insert or update or delete
      on table_1
      as
      declare
        r_tab1_old table_1%rowtype;
        r_tab1_new table_1%rowtype;
      begin
         r_tab1_new.col1 := :new.col1;
         r_tab1_new.col2 := :new.col2;
         r_tab1_new.col3 := :new.col3;
         -- ... etc.
         r_tab1_old.col1 := :old.col1;
         r_tab1_old.col2 := :old.col2;
         r_tab1_old.col3 := :old.col3;
         -- ... etc.
      end app1_tab1_biudr;Why? This is nonsense example, of course, but when we apply this to our table API's, it would make a big difference in the length and maintainability of the code.
    Thanks!

  • Move New Windows Inside Recording Area & More

    Hi All
    I have a few questions for all those kind people who
    contribute their time and experience here.
    I am exploring Captivate and have trouble with my new windows
    or dialogs jumping outside the recording area. I am creating movies
    using 'Custom Size and when I open new dialogs, they are opening up
    outside of the recorded area. I have the 'New Windows Inside
    Recording Area ' recording option checked, but it still happens. Is
    there something I am missing, another setting perhaps or a
    combination of things I am doing or not doing to prevent this?
    Another problem I am having occurs when I am recording a CAD
    application. When I open new dialogs and then close them, I get
    this display problem that shows where the dialog just appeared. The
    problem is that my application is blank where the dialog box was -
    I cannot see any of the icons of commands. It only ever happens
    when I am recording, not when I am generally using the program. Is
    this a known phenomenon, maybe a video card acceleration or OpenGL
    issue perhaps?
    Thanks in advance - I look forward to hearing from anyone who
    can help me solve these issues.
    Cheers,
    spritc.

    Hi there "spritc.",
    To your first problem, that of those pesky windows opening
    outside the selected recording area, if you use "Application"
    instead of "Custom", I think you'll find you have better luck.
    To your second problem, yes, I think you figured it out, you
    have a problem with video. Try disabling hardware acceleration and
    see if that won't help with the "shadow of where it was" issue.
    That option is in "Control Panel > Display > Settings (tab)
    > Advanced" on most systems.
    Now, a lesson in Captivate (or you can call it a "rant" by an
    old-timer if you wish).
    Many new users have been so "sold" on Captivate's "automatic"
    features that they have forgotten what its real purpose is, and
    that sometimes there is more than one way to accomplish it. It was
    created to fill a need to capture background changes in
    applications, then add objects to those changed backgrounds to
    accomplish the true goal of electronic learning through
    demonstration and/or simulation. Notice that nowhere in that
    statement did I use the word "fast", nor "automatic", nor
    "effortless", nor did I add "without the effort of thought".
    "spritc.", this is not directed at you nor meant to demean
    you in any way. The statement above is a result of my own
    frustration with a lack of reality in advertising and promotion of
    the product - not just Captivate but all products. With that said,
    here is how you do what you want to do:
    About Windows: Be aware that all "Windows" applications
    share some helpful features. One is that when an application is
    opened, it should open in a window of the same dimensions, and at
    the same position as the position and dimensions it occupied when
    it was last closed. That includes - or is supposed to - additional
    supporting pop-ups and dialog boxes (windows) for the application.
    Another feature of Windows applications is that if the main
    application window is placed too closely to - say - the right edge
    of the screen (or the bottom, or the top) and is too close for an
    attached drop-list to appear to the right, it will automatically
    appear instead - on the left, or above its normal position. In
    other words, Windows compensates for bad positioning by adjusting
    its location of appearance on the screen. So much for issues
    created by and corrected by the Windows OS.
    About Captivate: When in "Record" mode, Captivate does take
    a snapshot each time it detects a change in the background (caused
    by what we call an "event"), thus automatically creating a series
    of snapshots that we know as a demonstration or simulation, as the
    case may be. But there is a key on the keyboard that is much
    ignored, but of greatest value - it is named the "PrtScr" key, and
    (by default - it can be changed to another key) pressing it will
    cause Captivate to "snap" a background image, in addition to those
    snapped automatically by the detection of an "event". Captivate
    also gives you a feature that is nearly unknown among new users ...
    it is called the "other option". That is (to give you a simple
    example), while the Recording Options dialog gives you the
    (default) action of automatically recording keystrokes, the act of
    un-ticking this box gives you the
    other option of
    not automatically recording keystrokes. There are many
    "automatic" functions that are the default selections during the
    recording of a Captivate movie, and each gives you the option of
    turning it off.
    Now, let's put these two groups of knowledge together. Before
    recording, know what you are going to "click" to create a
    background change image. Then do a "walkthrough" without Captivate
    running. Each dialog box that pops up should be adjusted for size
    and position during this walkthrough so that when Captivate's
    actual image-recording begins, each dialog will appear where you
    want it. Also, each menu item that opens outside the recording area
    should be tested to see where it will appear; if the "File" menu
    item you want is falling off the bottom of the recording area, try
    positioning the main application window lower on-screen . . . this
    should force the "File" menu items to appear to "drop up", instead
    of "dropping down", allowing the wanted item to appear properly
    within the recording area. Finally (for this excerpt), you should
    always have one eye on that "PrtScr" key mentioned above. There may
    be times when using that magic key to force the capture of a
    background, is the only way to grab an image of a "missed event" -
    for instance, the appearance of a tooltip.
    In conclusion, don't blindly buy what the advertising people
    are selling. Be prepared to use your imagination and even some
    preparation work in making your movies. There are very few things
    that Captivate can't do in its line of work, but somethimes you
    have to do the "thinking" for it.
    Have a really great day!!

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    I can't get my new iPad to record a video I see the video right above camera but it is not active yet I can't touch it to activate it.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
