Measuring percentage of space used by type of content?

I work with a weekly publication where we try to keep advertising content to a maximum of 70 percent for every 20 pages. Is there a way, through InDesign, to have the program track specific kinds of content (ie: advertising) by the amount of space used for that content on a page by page basis. For example, would it be possible to embed some kind of code or character in specified areas of the page, and then perhaps highlight that page and have the software indicate what percentage of the page has that "coded content" ???

Hi, very interesting question, I don't know the answer to it, and I doubt there's any solution apart from maybe a scripted one, but if you ask it in the right place (here, in the Indesign forum) you'll get a better response.

How to find Percentage of space used by a Team Workspace

Try this out in sqlplus:

column DATA_SIZE_VALUE_k format a10
column HARD_QUOTA_VALUE_K format a10
column DATA_SIZE_VALUE_k format a10
column SOFT_QUOTA_VALUE_K format a10
column PERCENT_USED_VALUE format a10
select a.name,
case when b.DATA_SIZE_K < 0 then 'unlimited' else to_char(round(b.DATA_SIZE_K,2)) end as DATA_SIZE_VALUE_K,
case when b.HARD_QUOTA_K < 0 then 'unlimited' else to_char(b.HARD_QUOTA_K) end as HARD_QUOTA_VALUE_K,
case when b.SOFT_QUOTA_K < 0 then 'unlimited' else to_char(b.SOFT_QUOTA_K) end as SOFT_QUOTA_VALUE_K,
case when b.SOFT_QUOTA_K < 0 then 'unlimited' else to_char(round(b.PERCENT_USED,2)) end as PERCENT_USED_VALUE

Text editor used to type the contents of the properties file

******To all those (expect iainsinclair) who view this message - Sorry for using this forum for my personal contacts **********
Hi iainsinclair
Thanx for explaining ur experience to me for my previous posted topic . U did mentioned a text editor called NETBEANS PROPERTY TEXT EDITOR .
* Can u please explain more about this editor . Is this editor specific to some encodings ....
* U said that as u enter the Japanese characters in ur keyboard the editor saves the characters in the unicode format. Are the characters displayed in their glyphs or as \u????.
* Can u give me a list of languages f or which this text editor can be used . Bcoz u had suggested that it can be used for chinese also .
* I need more info about a Japanese Computer and keyboard. I think we both are in the same level in this topic I18N . Iam working for I18N project in my company. This is my official mail ID- [email protected] .Can u send me ur mail Id so that we make sure that this forum members are not disturbed by our discussion .

Hi, I'm happy if I can help.
* Can u please explain more about this editor . Is this editor specific to some encodings ....
It's the netbeans IDE from www.netbeans.org it's a free integrated development environment for java. It includes many editors, for .java files, .properties files and many others. It is designed to accept text in the non-ascii format and convert it for use in properties files.
* U said that as u enter the Japanese characters in ur keyboard the editor saves the characters in the unicode format. Are the characters displayed in their glyphs or as \u????.
They are saved as ascii characters, not glyphs. For example, I entered MSGothic (MSゴシック) in japanese using net beans and it looks like this when I use a normal text editor: MS\u30B4\u30B7\u30C3\u30AF
* Can u give me a list of languages f or which this text editor can be used . Bcoz u had suggested that it can be used for chinese also .
It should work for any language that your windows/linux system has support for (need the right fonts for a start). My system is native japanese, so I have all the required japanese fonts installed. If you want to use (for example) Chinese on an English system, you'll have to get the fonts and probably you will need to modify the jre/lib/font.properties file.

I don't think it's disturbing anyone. Forums are all about sharing information, and there is a lack of experience of I18N in the broader comminity, I feel. This isn't a busy forum... ;-)
Don't forget to look for the article written by John O'Conner called 'Displaying Text' I don't have the URL handy but it was posted on this forum recently. It's required reading.

Used Space is much higher than actual space used in the partition

Hi All,
I am facing space problem in oracle Linux 5.3.
The parition /oradata is showing Used space as 379 GB when checked with df -TH command and when i go to partition and check space with du -sh command it is showing 280 GB.
How could i reclaim the space.

What is your output of df -h?
-H uses powers of 1000, not 1024. Computer memory uses binary logic based on the power of 2 (2^10 = 1024, 8 * 8 * 8 * 2 = 1024)
Anyway, df and du measure different things:
"du" reports the space used by files and folders
"df" reports the space used by the file system, which includes the overhead for journals and inode tables.
If a file is open by a user and the same file is deleted then df and du will report different output.
A reboot of the system should align df and du output more closely.

How can I find out the percentage of space taken up by a vector in a document?

Hi all,
I've been doing visual research over the last couple of years, and part of this has resulted in hundreds of in-design documents with vectors of varying sizes in each. Essentially, I'm hoping to find a quick way to find out the percentage of space occupied by these vectors. I can't figure out how to go in to each document and find the info on the selected vector. I know that Photoshop has options to see pixels when using selection tools, but I've found this both cumbersome and inaccurate.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Kevin

Determining the space used by data in a table at the granularity of bytes

The SPACE_USAGE procedure of DBMS_SPACE package
is meant for knowing space table with auto segment
space management.
It gives out 4 types of values fs1_blocks to
fs4_blocks as the number of blocks which are filled
25%, 50%, ....
I tried it with different number of records (including)
and empty table) but all 4 fields are always output as
zero.
Basically my aim is to know the actual amount of space
used by my data in the table for both auto segment
allocation and non auto mode.

To have this kind of information I've used the function
DBMS_SPACE.UNUSED_SPACE, that reporting:
TOTAL_BLOCKS - data allocation space (in blocks)
TOTAL_BYTES - data allocation space (in bytes)
UNUSED_BLOCKS - allocated space but not used (in blocks)
UNUSED_BYTES - allocated space but not used (in bytes)
The difference between TOTAL_BYTES and UNUSED_BYTES is the REAL SIZE of your data.
I don't know if you can use the same function for table with auto segment space management.

Using TRUNCATE to free space used by CLOB/BLOB

Hi ,
Can we free the complete space used by a CLOB or BLOB by issuing a TRUNCATE command on the table containg these large objects?

Sorry about my loose terminology - yes I did mean a sparse bundle. Yes if the backup is created on a local disk, it uses ordinary folders. If it is first created over a network, then it creates a sparse bundle. having created the sparse bundle, you can then connect the disk directly for speeding up the initial backup or a major restore, but also connect remotely for routine incremental backups or minor restores.
It sounds like the type of sparse bundle created may depend on circumstances. In my case I am backing up from a laptop onto a partition on my desktop machine running Leopard 10.5.2 and when I grew the partition, although the Time Machine preference pane saw the extra space, when it came to a backup I got an error message saying there was not enough space and reporting the original size. Deleting and starting over again fixed this.
It is possible that in other circumstances a disk attached to a Time Capsule or elsewhere might get a sparse bundle with different parameters.
Incidentally, I tried copying my old backup sparse bundle onto another drive, deleting it and letting Time Machine create a new sparse bundle on my grown partition and copying the contents from the old one into the new one. Time Machine refused to work with it, so I lost my old backups.
What we need is a Time Machine Utility to manipulate these files, copy them, move backups from direct folders to sparse bundles etc. Ideally Apple would produce this, but I would be willing to pay a shareware fee for that.

Can I use excel type functions embedded into an online pdf form, ie Qty x Price= total $

Can I use excel type functions embedded into an online pdf form, ie Qty x Price= total $

Let me tell you what I am sure about and what I am not sure about:
I am sure that I want to be able to sell my products online. The industrial market that I sell to usually do not allow the maintenance people that find me on the web, do not have the ability to use credit cards in a typical shopping cart format due to the higher prices that the equipment I sell costs and that most people call me up to 'request a formal quotation' to give to their purchasing depart. So, my bright idea is to create numerous pdf files with very specific url's to match the very specific items that I sell. (1) item per pdf. I am thinking that the advantage to skipping the shopping cart approach and allowing the customer to fill in the qty of items, which would be mulitpled by the price of the item (a constant #) and then hitting a apply button, that would calculate subtotal price. Discounts for the qty the customer inputs (qty of items inputted by customer would be discounted on a percentage x base price) and a refresh the screen. It would allow for SEO advantages from what I have seen in the past in my very vertical market. All forms would be setup using the same functionality, just images, alt text, urls, and readable text would change.
What I don't know- which is alot, then how to calculate shipping costs. I have a weight per item, which can be added up. I saw an Adobe blog that allows UPS shipping cost to be programmed in. I don't know how dreamweaver works, which was what the blog mentioned would allow for this updated, instantanious interface with UPS and calculating real shipping costs to a specific zip code. Shipping cost would be fluff to this page. The main thing would be to do allow the customer to be able to fill in a qty of the specific item on the page, calculate a discount if / then type thing, be able to have customer email to purchasing dept or print. I would date stamp it with verbage that pricing is valid for XX days and if I could get a copy emailed to me that would be icing on the cake. I believe that this non static pdf would be something different then the current competion and that it would allow for 100's of quotes to be generated without customers having to wait 15 minutes to an hour for me to process the exact document that they are looking for.

Space used size decreased

hi
we got our DB's on SQL server2012 entriprise edition,recently i have ran rebuild index maintenance plan for a DB which is around 350GB as this was taking loads of time and consuming lots of disk space i have killed the process in the middle.As this
plan was taking loads of time to roll back i have restarted the services and then DB went to INRECOVERY and has taken much time to come back to normal online mode. when i have checked the log after recovery it was showing DB has been recovered with 1 transaction
roll back and iam assuming that is rebuild. After this i have shrinked both LDF and MDF and everthing working fine,But i can see decrease in the SPACEUSED in MDF by 12GB could please some one help me to know the reason for this sudden decrease.
with regards,
Ram

hi
If iam not wrong shrinking MDF will release it's existing free space to hard disk right,how come the space used for MDF file decreased.

Help: Connecting Tomcat to CA-IDMS Using JDBC Type 4 Drivers (JNDI)

Hi there,
I have a rather interesting / complex problem......creating a connection to CA-IDMS from Tomcat using JDBC type 4 drivers (CA provide the type 4 driver).
We have a zSeries 9 IBM mainframe running CA-IDMS r16.1, and I need to connect to the IDMS from Tomcat (running on Linux) using the JDBC Type 4 drivers provided by CA.
At this stage I am struggling with the actual setup and configuration of Tomcats server.xml and web.xml files. These are the files where the JDBC configuration is set (I think). I have to setup the CA-IDMS part of the configuration, but that is a different problem. Basically there is a TCP/IP listener on the IDMS, waiting for incoming connections from the JDBC type 4 driver.
I set up a Tomcat to MySQL connection using MySQL Connector / J, which is a similar kind of process to what I am trying to achieve with IDMS. MySQL connector / J came with a jar file which is placed in Tomcats lib folder, and then the JDBC setup for the web application is created in Tomcat's server.xml and web.xml files. You can then connect to the MySQL database using JSP and the configured JDBC driver / connection. The CA-IDMS Server comes with an idmsjdbc.jar file, which I think is the JDBC typr 4 driver. I think it needs to be placed in the Tomcat /lib folder, but I dont know how to set up the configuration.
There is a JDBC DriverManager which allows JDBC drivers to connect to CA-IDMS. The DriverManager recognises the following syntax:
jdbc:idms://hostname:port/database
This allows the JDBC driver running within Tomcat to connect to the IDMS which is running on the IDM mainframe. CA IDMS r16 supports direct connections from the Type 4 JDBC driver to the Central Version on IDMS. "hostname" is the DNS name or IP address of the machine where the CV is running, and "port" is the IP port that was specified for the listener PTERM (setup on the IDMS side).
There is a caidms.properties file for the JDBC driver, which is used to specify user ID, password, and optional accounting information. It can also be used to specify physical connection information, allowing an application to connect to a CA-IDMS database without requiring the definition of an ODBC style data source. However, I dont know where to place this file within the Tomcat setup.
There is also an IdmsDataSource class. I dont know where to configure this or how to set it up; the CA-IDMS Server manual states the following:
This class implements the JDBC DataSource interface. It is used with an application server (Tomcat) providing Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) naming service to establish a connection to a CA IDMS database. IdmsDataSource properties conform to the Java Beans naming conventions and are implicitly defined by public setter and getter methods. For example, the description property, which is required for all DataSource implementations, is set using the setDescription(String) method. The application server may use the java.lang.reflection methods to discover DataSource properties and provide an interface to set them, or may simply require that they are defined in some configuration file. IdmsDataSource properties are used to specify the connection parameters. These properties are the equivalent of the DriverPropertyInfo attributes described in the previous section and can be used to completely define the parameters needed to connect to a database. Like a URL, an IdmsDataSource object can also reference an ODBC style data source name, where the connection parameters are defined in the configuration file on Linux.
Is there anyone that can try to point me in the right direction to setting up the JDBC connection? I am totally new to Java and so the instructions are not making much sense at the moment. Any help, hints, tips..anything will be greatly appreciated as I have just hit a brick wall here. I can't find much to do with setting up the CA-IDMS Server JDBC type 4 driver online either....if anyone can point me to some resources that would also be extremely useful.
Kind regards
Jp

You say you've managed to get the JDBC driver working
in an application but not in a JSP. You also say that
the error you get is
"com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver".
I'd be willing to bet that the exception that you have
got is a ClassNotFoundException. I.E. your application
server hasn't found the JDBC driver classes. The
application server probably doesn't use your current
CLASSPATH to look for classes. It will be setup within
the application server in some way and you'll need to
check your app server documentation to see how it is
done.
Try replacing
e.printStackTrace();with
e.printStackTrace(out);to get a full stack trace of your error.
ColTried it. Got this error when I tried to run the JSP.
Incompatible type for method. Can't convert javax.servlet.jsp.JspWriter to java.io.PrintWriter.
e.printStackTrace(out);
I'm currently using Apache Tomcat 4.0.3 as my JSP/Servlet Container.
I'm also using Type 4 MS SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver version 2.0 on my NT4.0 Server.
Do I need to set my JDBC driver in my container? if so, how do I do that?

Amount of space used

3 Part Question - ( 1 ) Using my G5 with iMovie 6.0.3 I have downloading video from a camcorder. I checked the amount of free space left on the hard drive before downloading and it was at 30GB. With just 7 minutes of video downloaded and no extra editing, music or other done to it, it shows now only 23 GB left to use with some more to enter on the same movie.
How can that be for only 7 mins of video .... When putting a store bought DVD onto the computer to view , it only takes up about 7.4 GB of space on the hard drive for a 2 hour movie .... what am I not understanding ?
(2) The iMovie shows the amount of time and the remaining space allowed to use , but is there somewhere I can find to actually see the amount of space used to see if the math is correct or there is something else wrong ?
(3) After I read the response to the above .... and possibly all is in working order ..... is it possible then to use a back up hard drive to make the movie if I don't have sufficient space on the hard drive and then burn it to DVD afterwards on the back up hard drive or do I have to copy it back on the computer if there is enough space. ?
Thanks, Eric

Hi
Manus - Wrong word - Should have spelled "Script".
1) Your Reply > If You import 1 hour then cut away 53 minutes = 7 min
it still takes up 13-14GB though it is a non-destructive editor. It doesn't tuch Your import just
writes a script on what frames to be shown.
Not really understanding that .. if I cut away 53 mins and then emptied the trash ... should it just use the 2GB of space for the 7 mins I have on I movie .... And what's a "manus " on what frames to be shown .... ?
No it doesn't help to empty trash. iMovie is a non-destructive editor. All that has been imported
stays untuched in it's media folder. UNTIL - If You delete ALL - every single frame of an imported
clip. Delet this and then empty trash. It's gone. BUT if You use only one frame - full import stays.
To save space one often - export out needed material to a new tape.
Delete the old import project and starts a new one with material from the new tape.
3) Back HardDrive to use to make a movie with iMovie .. Your Reply > Has to be Mac Os Extended formatted - Most bought as DOS/FAT32 formatted ? Sorry that's over my head .....
If You buy an external hard disk it has to be organised in a way called "Formatting" and this is most
often done for Window PC computers. This way doesn't work when using it with a Mac and especially
when doing Video works.
To find out how it is formatted:
• Connect it to Youre Mac via FireWire (avoid USB/USB2)
• Select it when it showes up on desktop
• Press [cmd-i]
Now You can read how it is structured "formatted".
If it is empty - You have not start to store anything on it - You can re-formatte it with:
Apple Disk Util tool (in Applications/Tools)
Hopfully this has brought any light into your questions.

How to use two types of fonts in a richtextdocument

hello,
i want to print a barcode and some text into a richtextdocument
example:
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("\n");
Font f1 = new Font("3 of 9 Barcode", 50);
this.richTextBox1.Font = f1;
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("*1234554*");
Font f2 = new Font("Arial", 20);
this.richTextBox1.Font = f2;
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("fooo");
but it always uses the second one?
how can i resolve this?
i want to use two types of fonts in the same rich text document.
thank you very much!!

Select some text and then set the SelectionFont property for each selection, e.g.:
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("\n");
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("*1234554*");
richTextBox1.SelectionStart = 1;
richTextBox1.SelectionLength = 9; //End of first word
richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma", 10);
this.richTextBox1.AppendText("fooo");
richTextBox1.SelectionStart = 10;
richTextBox1.SelectionLength = 4;
richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 20);

Storage values under about this mac displaying incorrectly, but amount of space used IS correct. Any ideas?

I noticed recently that the "storage" under "about this mac" is displaying incorrectly. It doesn't show the correct values for my photos, videos, and audio files. It classifies this data under "other". I have been searching all over the internet, I went to the Apple genius bar yesterday and they recommended I re-install OSX. I did and it still shows up incorrectly. They were baffled, said they never really came across this issue. I have tried re-indexing spotlight, that didn't seem to help.
The amount of storage used IS correct. It just doesn't show up under the correct categories in storage, under about this mac. Also, the computer seems to work fine. No real issues. It's a mid 2012 MBP. 500gb hard drive. Most recent OSX is installed.
I DO NOT think it is local snapshots, cause my backups category is small and the amount of space used and free is correct. I have downloaded omnidisk sweeper to confirm this.
I have seen a few posts on here and around the web referring to this, but no real answers. I have also reviewed Pondini's info on this to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?!?!

Also,
I had installed a version of parallels with windows 7, but deleted it. Would parallels be causing my computer to index incorrectly? I I used appcleaner to delete all the parallels files so I do not have it anymore.

Measuring percentage of space used by type of content?
