More ?undocumented? features in BDB 5.1.19

I would love to read documentation about these following features, documented in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_02/html/installation/changelog_5_1.html
Added the ability to specify that data should not be logged when removing pages from a database. This can be used if the ability to recover the data is not required after the database has been removed. [#18666]
Added new DB_ENV->repmgr_get_local_site method.
I need this info for updating the Python bindings.
Thanks.

Hello,
The documentation for:
Added the ability to specify that data should not be logged when removing pages from a database. This can be used if the ability to recover the data is not required after the database has been removed. [#18666]
Can be found at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_02/html/installation/build_unix_db_nosync.html
"DB_NOSYNC Flag to Flush Files"
In short, you can use the DB_NOSYNC flag so that removing or renaming a subdatabase will not cause the containing file to be flushed.
From the documentation:
Applications must now pass the DB_NOSYNC flag to the methods - DB->remove, DB->rename, DB_ENV->dbremove, and DB_ENV->dbrename, to avoid a multi-database file to be flushed from cache. This flag is applicable if you have created the database handle in a non-transactional environment.
By default, all non-transactional database remove/rename operations cause data to be synced to disk. This can now be overridden using the DB_NOSYNC flag so that files can be accessed outside the environment after the database handles are closed.
The documentation for DB_ENV->repmgr_get_local_site is missing. The internal SR for this is #19161.
It will look like:
#include <db.h>
int
DB_ENV->repmgr_get_local_site(DB_ENV *env,
const char **host, u_int *port);
The host argument is the address of the caller's string pointer,
into which we will return a pointer to the replication manager's
internal storage where it is storing the host name. In other words,
this method doesn't make a copy of the host name string; it just
returns a pointer to our own internal copy of it. The port argument
returns the port number that the replication manager is using locally.
Thanks,
Sandra

Undocumented features of the expression node

After investigating expression nodes in detail here, I stumbled on some undocumented features that could give your UIs some interesting new twists (if used in moderation!).
I have not fully explored all possibilities, so there might be more.
I have tested in it LabVIEW 4.0 through 2013SP1 and it seems to work everywhere. (Versions below 6i show some slight pixelation artifacts, but that can be ignored)
Look what it can do!!!!

CLI and undocumented features ...

... or confessions of an Xsan Newbie .... OK, so I've been using Xsan for six months now and trying my hardest not to use CLI and all that tricky Unix stuff .... finally realized that CLI might be the best friend an inexperienced Xsan Administrator could have ... so question becomes .... apart from the Man pages that are installed in the Xsan server folder (is it me, or this the most difficult technical document in the world to navigate around?) and the highly comprehensive descriptions (not) of the CLI commands in the Xsan Admin Guide .... where do you find good documentation on how to use the CLI? Which Unix commands are useful for managing Xsan?
Plus, I get the feeling from reading some of the StorNext documentation that there is much more to SNFS than meets the eye or that Apple is letting on. Is there anything that covers the undocumented features of Xsan that would be easy to understand by a simpleton like me?
Thanks,
Neil

Hi Neil,
There is a 3-day stornext course which I found very usefull.
For day to day use, the cvadmin command is your friend. So I suggest with studying on the man page for it. when you want to create and change volumes, you need more commands: cvlabel, cvmkfs, cvupdatefs, cvfsck.
These manpages are actualy acurate. I can imagine to be overwhelmed with all the options. At first you need to understand the context. The mentioned course will help you with this. This is complex material. You have to dive into it. There is no shortcut.
For tuning and creating a new volume the cvfs_config manpage is usefull.
For unix I suggest a good book and a course. Commands I use frequently:
+ mount -t acfs <volname> /Volumes/<volname>
+ umount /Volumes/<volname>
+ du -hs /Volumes/<volname> | sort -nr # to see the fillers of a volume
+ df -h # to see how full the volume is
+ grep # selecting specific info from a bunch of data
+ cat # display the content of a file
+ vi/pico # unix text editors
Also, check articles from apple.com and xsanity.com. There are loads of info there.
One major part of the xsan is the FC environment. You need to study that too. Qlogic has good pdf's. Setting up the nicknames and zoning right, is a must!

I have Adobe Acrobat XI standard, but would like to trial the "compare documents" feature on Pro. I tried to download a trial version of Pro, but the installer indicated that "it detected a more fully featured version of the product" - presumably my stand

Okay - just realised that the last screen was just asking for a "title" for my question!
I have Adobe Acrobat XI standard, but would like to trial the "compare documents" feature on Pro. I tried to download a trial version of Pro, but the installer indicated that "it detected a more fully featured version of the product" - presumably my standard version? - and stopped installation. It is not clear to me what my options are for either upgrading to Pro, or selectively purchasing the "compare documents" plugin (if possible). I am using what is presumably an Enterprise version of acrobat (i.e. my employer owns it, not me) - so not sure what limitations that results in. I think this is a simple question, but would be grateful for advice.

- You can't install Acrobat Pro alongside Acrobat Standard. You will need to remove Standard to be able to install Pro.
- You (probably) can't upgrade your license if it's a part of an enterprise license. The entire license will need to be upgraded.
- It's not possible to install just the "Compare Documents" function as a sort of add-on to Acrobat Standard.

Music stops with Etymotic earphones and undocumented feature in iPod

I have been using these Etymotic ER-6 with an iPod 4th generation without any problem, but after upgrading to an iPod Video, things have not been as smooth.
It seems that there is a new undocumented feature in the iPod Video. If you unplug your earphones, the music stops automatically. Which is great. The problem is that the Etymotic earphones have a 90 degree plug, prone to move sideways. When it moves, the music stops.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
G5 & iPod Video Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Haven't had a "problem" with that feature as my connector is straight however, it would have been nice if they applied the same feature for "Dock Removal" so it pauses when lifted from a dock.

Where do i go to find out about this undocumented feature?

If I open a PDF's Document Properties and click the Additional Metadata button, it brings up a new dialog for entering metadata. All the metadata fields, there, have down arrows on the right side, presumably to enable someone to choose from a pick list of possible entries. But how does one populate those lists of possible entries? This appears to be an undocumented feature...or at least it's so cleverly hidden that it's very difficult to find. They logically appear to prpvode a place where users might be able to store a bunch of common entries for the team, to enable consistent team usage. This would be especially useful with regard to the Keyword field. It isn't much help if everyone types in randomly-conceived key words on the fly; that results in a chaos of misspellings, mis-phrasings, etc. What work teams need is a consistent list of key words that can be agreed upon, loaded for team usage, and accessible/assignable within any PDF document so that all the team's PDFs are tagged correctly.

Thanks for pointing that out but, unfortuately, that response doesn't address the question.
Creating a custom property has nothing to do with building a list of values in the keywords field's dropdown picklist menu.
And adding a custom tag doesn't help because the tag you create doesn't appear in the 'additional metadata' window.
This whole area of Acrobat seems not to be documented....or if it is, the documentation is too hard to find.
But thanks for pointing out the custom tag names function...i just wish it told us how and why to use it.

Issue with load more messages feature

Hi, I'm new to the Iphone 3Gs and I have notice a strange behavior the the "load more messages" feature.
I've setup my mail account with Gmail and everythings works fine. My mail setting is set to show the 25 more recent messages.
When I go to my inbox and press "load more messages", it loads 25 more messages so thats makes it 50. I've notice that my inbox will now show 50 messages until a power off/on cycle, than it shows the 25 more recent messages again as stated in the mail settings.
Here's my problem. The imap folder "All Mail" from Gmail does not work like this. Everytime I hit "load more messages" in that folder it loads more messages but never reset to 25 after power off. Now that folder shows over 100 messages.
Is there a way to reapply the show settings to that folder ? Only thing that works that I found is to delete the account.
thanks for your help.

Hey man, your problem sounds similar to the one I'm having. I can't load more messages on both of my email accounts. But I think I might have figured out the problem. I recently re-installed my hotmail account and when I was looking through my,"Unread" inbox the, "Load more messages" command was working just fine. So I was continuing to go through my messages to make them read (because if your like me, I don't like to have any messages, "Unread." So when all my messages were read there was about 80 in total, and my setting was set to show the 25 most recent. So I backed out of the mail app, did a few more things and came back hoping that there would only be 25 showing with 0 unread and the ability to load more if i wished. Well, there was 25 showing but the box with the load more messages command was gone and no matter how many times I tried to refresh it would not come back.
So my theory is this; there always has to be an unread message in your inbox for the load more messages to work. Sorry about the long post. I'm going to test this theory out, knowing my luck, it won't work at all. Good luck bro!
Peace.

My tagged page is working perfectly now. No more broken features.

3 days of broken features. I did everything what the adviced here in the forum butnothings work. so I decided to check my system and security under control paneland checked everything there if what I could find out about this problem. Thetrouble shooting says two critical updates, and the only way I could pix it is torestore my computer in its earlier time. Bingo! now my tagged page is workingperfectly again, no more broken features.

You can't restore changes that are caused by removing support for features like happened with the status bar. Such changes can only be restored via an extension (Status-4-Evar). Other changes can be undone by toggling prefs or via code in userChrome.css that doesn't require an extension, but do require editing the userChrome.css file and adding specific CSS code.

N95 undocumented features list

Now it may just be that I'm suffering from a combination of new hardware and software aligned with the reduced service from Vodafone network in recent years(since PAYG) but is anyone else getting all of these issues?
1. When pressing cancel on phone trying to make a wireless (802.x) connection the phone re-sets every time.
2. Phone re-sets at any time going to first start screen - i.e. "Would you like a tour of your new phone" 500 times.
3. When using GPS, phone turns itself off at any time.
4. When using GPS, application hangs requiring removal of battery to restart device.
5. PC Suite does not recognise phone each time is plugged in and creates a new modem, com port and connection.
6. PC Suite refuses to connect to internet with 'unable to connect to device' even though it sees phone and has previously. (Up until today this was the only feature that functioned without fault)
7. In some cases, it is possible to make a connection to the internet with the dial up access when PC suite fails to see phone is connected to the PC at all.
8. When sat in a 3G full signal area and not moving, internet connection will drop or phone will re-set back to the good old 'Would you like a tour' page.
9. When driving through Dorset the phone obviously lost signal. It did not regain it at all into the next day and needed rebooting to obtain a signal again.
10. When making a telephone call (yes it apparently is supposed to be able to!) phone re-sets back to the wonderful 'Would you like a tour' screen.
Now of course new technology is buggy, if you buy at first generation the product has been rushed to market without proper testing. We all know this is the way IT/Technology companies survive, people like us find the bugs and save them R&D costs.
HOWEVER, it would be nice to be able to use the basic function of a phone that costs arounf £450 and be able to use it as a phone at the least.
I am currently having to return the phone time and time again to Vodafone in order to get a replacement which I know will have the same bugs and sometimes new ones.
Perhaps Nokia could provide help to 3rd parties and end users of these phones to allow for the development of an N95 that actually functions as it would then be quite a good device to use.
Annoying more so as I was hoping to ditch the N73 I got last year as it keeps......... switching itself off for no reason.
If only my P990i had the same features I'd not use a Nokia again. I mean, long battery life, a phone that doesn't crash every 5 minutes. Applications that stay running. Hmm.

Not really sure if it's appropriate to discuss the benefits of another firms mobile phones in Nokia's end user forums but anyway...
Some of Sony Ericsson's phones have comparible features as Nokia's such as the P and M range (I'm told the M600 is a good phone) but they too have their problems just like Nokia's (My p990i is a nightmare when it comes to the RAM usage, a common complaint and one a firmware update has not resolved). Also the version of Symbian they use is somewhat less capable as Series 60 in my opinion.
Forget LG and Samsung if its a smartphone and features you want. Those phones are mostly designed for form over function and they aren't really smart (Although Samsung are about to release a Series 60 phone over here soon).

"Unpausable" media - control bar undocumented feature

As I was looking for a way to disable play on some video ad, I stumbled upon a hiden feature of the control bar:
- The play and pause buttons toggle their visibility (and presence in layout) when metadata with the key "Advertisement" is not null on the media.
The feature is not fully functional though. Line 64 of "PlayButton.as" needs to be modified:
//visible ||= media.metadata.getValue("Advertisement") != null;
visible &&= media.metadata.getValue("Advertisement") == null;
Then, you can do something like this:
var metadata:Metadata = new Metadata();
media.metadata.addValue("Advertisement", metadata);
... and the play/pause buttons won't be present while your media is in the player.
Note: I figure this is the most "kosher" way of dealing with the problem. Modifying the PlayTrait (extending it) would actually make it more awkward to handle the media. This method only limits the end user by modifying the GUI. You can still play/pause internally without having to work around your own alterations, and you're less likely to make the media player complain.

Does NeedleDrop v3.0 do the trick for you? This is the information given for the script:
This applet plays each track in the selected iTunes playlist for a chosen time interval starting at a chosen number of seconds into each track, beginning with the selected track (if no track is selected then playing will start from the beginning of the selected playlist). Handy for quickly perusing a playlist.
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=needledrop
(Thinking here that if you put the Track in question into its own playlist, then you could use the NeedleDrop functions to zoom in on a particular segment of the track.)
If it isn't quite what you're looking for, there might be something else at Doug's AppleScripts:

How I can change my .bash profile to use more shell features

Hi , I am currently on sol 10 ,and the tab and similar other features doesn't work rather it gives special characters ..this was not the case with rhel .. what can I do to have those features in my shell.
I am using korn/pfksh.
Thanks

Hi.
I confused by you questions.
In case you want use bash features and .bash_profile - you should use bash shell.
So you need change user shell to bash.
korn shell use general .profile for configuration.
Regards.

Caching inObjectOuputStream: bug or undocumented "feature"?!

I'll give you the code in the end. The screen dump contains characters that is not allowed in to the editor window, so you'll have to run the code yourself to see the result.
This is what I did:
1. Create a LinkedList
2. Create an ObjectOutputStream connected to a ByteArrayOutputStream
3. Add an object to it
4. Serialize the LinkedList through ObjectOutputStream.writeObject()
5. Print the ByteArrayOutputStream the console.
6. Reset the ByteArrayOutputStream.
*. Do number 3 -> 6 a few times.
The result will be that what comes out in the ByteArrayOutputStream is cached (?) information. It does not matter how much you put into the list, you will allways get the first serialization out on the stream.
The second test I did was to serialize a clone of the list. Now things are going the way they should. All the added objects are sent to the stream.
I tested this using an ObjectInputStream as well, but this code takes less space and produces the behavior.
Now to my questions:
Is this really the way it should work? If it is why isn't it documented in the JavaDoc and why isn't there a more intelligent cache that can check if the object to be serialized has been changed?
The more I think of it the more worried I get. If someone has a big tree of som kind that the want to serialize, what happens if someone changes a small detail? Will that change go through? Not according to the test I just did. To clone every single object that go through the ObjectOutputStream more than once is not very good for performance...
Or does the cache only look at the "top" object?
Code:
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.util.LinkedList;
public class Test
public static void main(String[] args)
  try
   ByteArrayOutputStream baOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
   ObjectOutputStream oOut = new ObjectOutputStream(baOut);
   LinkedList list = new LinkedList();
   for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    list.add("Test" + i);
    System.out.println("Serializing: " + list);
    oOut.writeObject(list);
    System.out.println("Result: " + baOut.toString());
    baOut.reset();
   //Redoing the test but this time with list.clone()
   list = new LinkedList();
   for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    list.add("Test" + i);
    System.out.println("Serializing: " + list);
    oOut.writeObject(list.clone());
    System.out.println("Result: " + baOut.toString());
    baOut.reset();
  catch (IOException e)
   e.printStackTrace();
/Lars

The ObjectOutputStream keeps track of whether or not
an object has been serialized, and if it has, any
further attemps to serialize the object will result in
a reference to the first occurence of the object in
the stream. This is to keep objects being serialized
multiple times unnecessarily.It is more than an optimization. This logic is required to avoid cycles during object graph serialization.

Yet one more SharePoint feature that works better in Chrome than IE ?

Refer to this thread -
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/p/300232/914427.aspx#914427
This behaviour has been confirmed by a MS support and MS technician and there is no apparent explanation.
How is it possible that we continually have problems with SharePoint in IE? Are they not both Microsoft products and should work seamlessly? Well here is yet another of a growing list of features that work OK in Chrome but not in IE.
I am using SharePoint. I have three calendar web parts in a 3-column table on a page. When the calendar is empty it looks great. When I put appointments in the calendar the size screws up and i sometimes get a scroll bar. But only
in IE. Works perfectly in Chrome.
IE....
Chrome...
Looking forward to an explanation and fix.
Mike in Cairns.
Mike

If I understand the post you linked to, there was a fix supplied which was to use a page that uses the three column text layout instead of using a three column table. Have you tried this approach?
Personally the issue to me sounds to be with the page rendering in Internet Explorer. I'm not trying to excuse Microsoft but this wouldn't be the first time IE didn't load a web page "correctly" while other browsers did. That it's working in other
browsers suggests to me the issue isn't with SharePoint though perhaps it could be loading different HTML, CSS, or JavaScript if the user has IE.
From your screenshots it looks to me like you're using SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online. Is this the case? As well, which version of IE are you using?

Want more formatting features for Mail.app

Hi everyone,
Wouldn't it be nice if Apple made Mail.app as feature rich as Thunderbird?
Wow! You'd think they'd want Mail to be fully formattable and customizable with all the features available.
I can't believe we can't control background color for example.
Thanks

IMO, no.
I'm not a fan of using HTML for email message composition and I'm not interested in changing the background color of my messages or adding animated gifs or smileys and I don't enjoy receiving messages with the same.
Using HTML for email message composition increased the cost to exchange electronic messages and also causes a wide range of problems including major security issues - primarily for Windows users.
