Multiple Replicats and IO contention

GG version 11.1 - Oracle 10g Database .
I have 3 replicat processes each processing one table. The replicats are running in BATCHSQL mode. To increase the processing capacity I am adding one additional replicat for each table using @RANGE function.
I have one mount point specified for the exttrail files. Since @RANGE requires sorting of data based on primary key I am bit concerned about the IO overhead on the exttrail mount point.
Do we have any guidelines / Best practices for number of replicats which can read from a single mount point

Everything is depend on your storage system. Usually good storage system has large cache and reading trail files will hit cache. You can test your storage performance using DD reading big file and redirecting output to null. Then you can compare GoldenGate trail file read rate and potencial performance measured by DD.
From my experience I had no problems reading trail files by 20 replicats but I had good storage system.

Multiple place and fit content

I have several chapters of a book done in CS2. These were sent out and edited by a third-party in CS4 (communication issue there).
So they were backsaved as an .INX file and now I'm using CS3.
Problem is that the embedded images and links to 20 or so illustrations were not honoured and defaulted to "foo. jpeg" in the links pallette when I opened these in CS3.
The embedded images (excel graphs) I'm not worried about, it's the linked images which I now have to go in and manually relink.
The graphic frame and content boundary is intact so re-linking seems to work fine, but I'm wondering If i can select the art and multiple place each image within it's corresponding frame and have the attribute "fit content proportionately" assigned at the same time.
Do I use an object style?? I'm not too familiar with this, so if anyone can run me through the simple steps, it would be appreciated.
Also, I noticed in CS3 that the number of icons for fitting content are reduced on the toolbar (see image circled) compared with CS2?
Are the options to "fit content to frame, center content etc" only available from the drop-down menu or from the short-cuts?
Thanks in advance,
Julian

Peter,
Yip, those would be the icons I was looking for, but maybe they weren't visible depending on what i had selected, since I swear I looked for them..but there they are in my screenshot
I was thinking a basic object style with just fram-fitting option selected to "fit content prop.", but I guess you are right in that the time saved would probably be negligible.
Any idea as to why the links broke - just a consequence of back-saving??
Julian

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account. To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

Mixing static and dynamic content in a single outputText value causes NPEs

Hi,
I am having a problem and I'm wondering if it is a result of my error or if this is a bug.
I am mixing dynamic and static content in the value attribute of tags (e.g., outputText). On initial page load, everything works fine. However, if the same view is reloaded (e.g., after a failed validation) I get an NPE from JSF:

If it matters, I'm using the reference implementation version 1.1 (as included with NetBeans 5.5RC2) on SuSE 10.0 w/ JDK 1.5_09.
Thanks,
Bill

Yes, that's how I originally had it, but then changed it to the outputText approach since a single tag could do what I wanted, as long as I was allowed to mix static and dynamic content within a single value.
I think this is a bug in JSF 1.1, since if what I am doing is illegal, it should throw an exception on the first page view, not work on first view and throw an exception on subsequent views. I'm guessing that this has something to do with the fact that on first page view it only runs the restore view and render response JSF phases, while on subsequent requests all of the phases will be run, and it's in one of those other phases that the exception is thrown.
For now, multiple tags is the work-around, I guess.
Thanks,
Bill

Mac OS 10.5 /
I deleted the " Private" folder ... and emptied the trash. So the folder and its contents no longer exists on my computer at all !!!
I do have the OS 10.5 dvd that i purchased years ago...
But my computer will not start from it on its own.
My question is what is the open source or terminal language code used to tell my mac to look in the DVD rom drive for startup info? I know that im not the only person in this world who has deleted the "PRIVATE" folder and emptied the trash so it no longer exists on their machine...
That said theres gotta be a common fix for a Power PC G4 that has the OS X dvd in the rom drive but wont look to it to reinstall the vital contents of the PRIVATE folder.
Once again there is not a copy of this file or its contents in the recycle bin...
Also rebooting the machine , pressing and holding the letter C does not prompt the machine to look to the dvd rom drive.
I was reinstalling pro tools and figured I would make some room by cleaning my computers HD...
Lol It was a bad choice to delete this file ...
Thanks guys

Okay sorry it took forever to respond... But for a while there I gave up on this computer!!!!
Money's been tight lately , so taking it in to a professional was not yet an option... though I did consider it eventhough.
Anyway long story short im glad I didnt spend any money because I already had all the tools necessary to fix this issue but was going about it in the wrong way. Okay so here is my scenario and the breakdown... Though this may not fix the issue for everyone :( which *****... But I know we all will have different circumstances.
Anyway here we go...
Okay so first things first.... Years ago I purchased the OS 10.5.1 disk ... So that has always been in my possession!!!!
I realize that some may not have a disk to reflash your OS to your hard drive... but if you do your in luck.
2ndly ... I had an external harddrive with all of my itunes downloaded music so it was more than okay with me to delete my primary HD because all the important stuff could either be copied over or repathed to be located.
-------If you dont want to read through the whole story the fix is summed up in the bottom section-------
Okay so now the SOLUTION!!!!
By trial and error , and pure boredom I opened up my computer to clean the inside...
AND
"Disconnected the primary HD"
and just because ....... REBOOTED my computer. Just to see what it would do.
Upon restart and though it looked like it would repeat its usual cycle...
About 1 minute in to that process my computer froze for about 2 seconds and flashed to the OS installation screen.
Mind you I havent seen this screen yet... Probably hasnt been since I installed the OS years ago.
After a bit of trial and error...
I decided to tell my computer to startup from the OS 10.5 disk located in my dvd rom drive and restarted once again...
this setting is under
Utilities / startup disk
After a little more trial and error ... I realized that I could reconnect the primary HD , restart the machine and return to the OS installation menu.
So upon this discovery
I went to the Disk Utility located under Utilities
Highlighted my primary HD located in the left hand column
Once highlighted ...
In the heading section on the right I selected the option
Erase
in which I erased My current OS on my primary HD ...
I used the first option in the list under security... Because it seemed like the least invasive and would take the least amount of time to see if this process would actually work.
I FORGOT to add something...
Another reason why I deleted my primary HD!!!!!
I forgot to say that it WOULD NOT!!!!! Show up in the STARTUP list as an option...Even After multiple reboots....
But like clockwork... Once I deleted its name IT SHOWED UP as an option!!!!
So back to the next step...
I returned to the STARTUP option under utilities ... And was then able to see MY primary HD now as a startup option...
But ofcourse it had no name because it we previously erased it.
So when Clicking my newly erased HD ... I was almost immediately prompted to REINSTALL the OS ...
Which said it would take about 57 minutes ... But I believe was alot less...
My issue was resolved ... My computer then stated the install was SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!! :))))))))))) lol ;)
It was like I was setting up for the first time ;) asking for my registration info...
The dilemma of deleting the private folder and emptying the trash is finally over resolved. Done ... and no extra money spent!!!!!!!!!
Its really crazy that the information for such a simple thing is not readily available. Especially being such a simple fix.
I know im not the only person who's had this issue , because i've seen numerous posts with similar wording.
I also know I wont be the last person to have this issue... So I hope this synopsis makes sense.
-------One more time the fix------
*Insert your OS dvd into your dvd rom drive.
*Unplug your primary HD or corrupted startup disk
*Reboot your machine...
Upon restart your primary HD will not be recognized...
* you will then be prompted to select your language.
Once selected
*Click Utilities/startup... Highlight the the selection that refers to the OS dvd located in the dvd rom drive.
* Click restart...
!!!!!!!!!!Be sure to reconnect your Primary HD Before your computer restarts and you hear the chime!!!!!!!!
If you do not replug your HD before the chime it will not be recognized.
In that case restart again.
Upon restart once again
*Choose your language...
*Click Utilities / disk utility
In the left column select and
*Highlight your HD ...
Then towards the top portion / center of the page
*Click the heading Erase
Then on the page toward the bottom
*Click security options
This will then provide erase options.
I USED THE FIRST OPTION
"Dont erase data"...
*click OK
* click erase...
Once erased which should take a few seconds
*Cancel the disk utility...
* Click Utilities / startup
And your newly erased HD should now appear in the list.
* Select your drive from the list by highlighting
It should no longer have a name.
*Once selected, you will then be prompted to restart and install the OS to your newly erased HD...
Thats it!!!!
Once everything reinstalls re-add your personal info or registration info and you are up and running.
Goodluck ;)

How to create multiple reports and dashboards from one dataset?

Hi there,
I've centralized the data to an excel workbook from multiple data sources and added as a dataset to my new Power BI site. How can I build multiple reports and dashboards out of one dataset?

Hi Kuber,
In the Datasets section on the Navigation pane (left side of your Dashboards page), you can click "..." next to each dataset. One of the options in the contextual menu is Explore. When you explore a dataset, you can create reports and save
them.

PSE9: How do I move/copy an Album and its contents from my PC to my laptop?

I am using Windows 7 and PSE 9 on my PC and want to get a copy of the album and its contents to my Vista laptop running PSE 9 without changing anything on the source PC. Anyone know how to do this? I know I can move the files through Windows Explorer on my network but I have already gone through the trouble of putting the best photos into an Album and would like to simply move the Album over and not have to go through the trouble of recreating it.

You will need to copy the files.
1. Make a new folder on your laptop
2. Open Organizer, select your Album then press Ctrl+A to select all photos
3. Click the Fix tab and choose Full Photo Edit to open the album contents in the editor
4. Click File >>Process Multiple Files
5. From the drop down menu (Process files From) choose Opened Files
6. For destination click the browse button and navigate to your new folder on your network and click OK
7. Make sure Rename and Resize is unchecked but check Convert files To and choose Jpeg Max quality or whatever you prefer then click OK and wait for Elements to finish.
8. Go to your laptop folder to see your images.

Mail app displays No Subject, No Sender and No content in All Inboxes

On my iPad 2 in the mail app, when looking at mail in All Inboxes my iCloud emails display with No Sender, No Subject, and No Content. If I tap on it there is "nothing to display". If I go to the iCloud inbox everything displays fine. I have multiple inboxes which include an exchange, gmail and xfinity accounts. The emails from these accounts all display fine in the All Inbox view. The Exchange is my primary work account and the iCloud is my primary home accoun tso viewing both is convenient.
So far I have tried powering the iPad off and on. Shut the iCloud mail off and back on. Neither has worked. All messages display fine on my iPhone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks...Lenny

Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or ....
Reboot 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.

Adobe DPS and web content viewer issues

Having an issue with the tablet and web content viewer version of this particular article. I've create two separate documents one for iPad and one for iPhone, reuploaded the article and recreate the entire article all in the hopes that it would resolve the issue. Any ideas as to how I can remedy this problem? Thanks.

This is a known issue with smooth scrolling articles in the web viewer: From Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS Bug Fix Release Notes:
"Smooth Scrolling articles in web viewer may not display properly on the last page if the length of the smooth scrolling article is not an exact multiple of the folio height. For example, the last page of a 1024x2000 article may be cropped, but a 1024x1536 (2 times the height) or a 1024x2304 (3 times the height) should display fine. The issue is especially common in portrait orientation. One workaround is to make the height of the smooth scrolling page height an exact multiple of the folio height. Another workaround is to use PNG image format for the Smooth Scrolling article instead of PDF."

Unable to use AirPlay from multiple iOS and MacBook pro

HI, I seem to be having issues using AirPlay From multiple iOS devices.
I have the following devices, iphone 6 plus, iPad air (both Gen 1 and 2) an iPad 2 and a MacBook Pro running Yosemit. I also have 2 Apple TVs (both gen 1 and 2).
Recently I have found that I am unable to use AirPlay on any of the iOS devices to either Apple TVs, the MacBook Pro will Airplay mirror ok, I am however able to use iTunes shairing from a Windows 8PC. I have restarted and also reset both Apple TVs and my router, I have also reset the connection settings on all the iOS devices but still can't resolve the issue.
The Apple TVs have Internet connection so I can't see any issues network connections.
ANyone else got got any Ideas?
Thanks

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

Multiple Replicat -Transaction consistency

When using the the @RANGE function to divide the processing workload among multiple Replicats do we have the transaction commit orders preserved.If one REPLICAT is ahead of the other could it cause data inconsistency ?
For example, the following splits the replication workload into two ranges (between two Replicat processes) based on the ID
column of the source account table.
MAP Source.Account, TARGET Target.account, FILTER (@RANGE (1, 2, ID));
On the source we have the following order.
1)Update accounts set balance='NEGATIVE';
2)Update accounts set balance='ZERO';
3)Update accounts set balance='NEGATIVE';
4)Update accounts set balance='POSITIVE';
When we split the transactionS based on the Hash-value of the primary key and if we have 1,2 Assigned to Replicat1 and 3,4 Assigned to Replicat2 and if Replicat2 finishes before Replicat1 there will be data inconsistency.
Can we preserve the commit order when using Multiple Replicats.

hi,
When using the @RANGE to split up transactions it is always possible that one replicat is quicker then the other one(s).
This can result in the operations being applied in a different order then in the original transaction.
But this "inconsistency" will only be for a very very short moment (unless one of the replicats has a huge delay, or is stopped)
In your example you are using the ID field to calculate the hash value for the @RANGE function.
As long as this ID field stays the same, the same record gets processed every time by the same replicat, so when the replicats are finished, the data is the same as on the source, no inconsistencies

How to achieve no-downtime solution deployment on farms with multiple WFEs and LB

Taking SharePoint Solution Deployer, my opensource PowerShell deployment script, to the next level,
Bill Simser got me the idea of making the deployment even more smooth on farms with multiple WFEs and load balancer in order to achieve a no-downtime deployment
The basic idea is to deploy the solutions on each WFEs one-by-one by
1. Taking one WFE offline
2. Installing the solution with the -local switch
//Solution deployment
Install-SPSolution -Identity <solutionname>.wsp –GACDeployment –CASPolicies –Local
// Solution upgrade
Update-SPSolution -Identity <solutionname>.wsp -LiteralPath LocalPathOfTheSolution.wsp -GacDeployment -Local
3. Run post-deployment actions on the WFE (ie. restart services, recycle apppools or IIS reset, warmup server), which my script already does for each server
4. Take WFE online again
5. Repeat step 1-4 for all other WFEs
I am struggling with three things here:
1. The whole deployment process could be quite risky when something goes wrong in between. And in order to roll back I would require the original solution if it was already deployed before (which I can back up of course before I replace
it)
Anything which involves changing the content dbs should of course be done after the solutions is deployed to the whole farm, so this should not hurt in this case.
Anyway MSDN says that the "DeployLocal" method (which I assume is the same as the -local switch in PS ) should be only used
for
troubleshooting purposes.
So it would be great to hear about anyones experiences with it
2. As there can be different types of load balancers (hardware, software) which might not be configurable through my script I assume that taking out the WFE from the the load balancer may not always be possible.
So I thought about just taking the server offline.
I haven't found an option yet to take only one server in the farm offline (without removing it from the farm of course), so maybe I miss something. Any ideas?
3. Before taking a single WFE offline, I would like to assure that this server does not have any open sessions, operations of users ongoing. Unfortunately I found only the possibility to quiesce the whole farm, but not a single
server. Am I missing something?
Appreciate any ideas which might point me in the direction to solve the overall goal!

Hi Mike,
unfortunately not. I tried several different approaches but didn't really success reliably with any of them. So eventually I gave up on it.
Interesting idea though that Eric Hasley is commenting on the blog post you mentioned.
"There is another approach that has worked for me in the past. Because the deployment to each server is handled through a timer job,
by stopping the timer service in a controlled fashion you can rollout your solution without incurring any user outage."
It could work like that (in theory).
Stop the SPTimerV4 on all servers in the farm apart from one.
Take out the one to deploy to from the NLB
Wait until it has no connections
Deploy the solutions on it in the ordinary way (eg. with my
SharePoint Solution Deployer ;))
Put it back into the NLB and take the others out
Wait until they have no connections left
Activate the timer service on the others servers and let them deploy
Put them back into the NLB
No clue if this is actually working and you still have the problem with the NLB, so it could take a while.
Also I am not certain what happens in state 5 if users use different versions of your solutions at the same time (old version on the remaining open connections, new version on the updated server)
I do not have a suitable farm at hand to play with it though, so can't test it.
Cheers

Send mail to multiple recepients and multiple groups from workflow

Hi,
I have a requirement where during the process flow, I have to send mail notifications to multiple people at each step. Have done the outlook config and working fine. Also mail steps are working fine for one recepient. But I have to send relevant mail content to multiple people and to multiple groups like HR, IT security etc. What would be the best approach for this req?
Please help.
Thanks,
Raj.

Hello,
If I understand you correctly, you have two options:
Option 1 (if you must send to an external e-mail address):
1- identify all recipients in a previous step and retrieve their e-mail addresses from the system
2- collect all e-mail addresses in an internal table you define in the workflow template container (you can use table type BCSY_SMTPA)
3- in the e-mail step, choose Recipient type as U (E-mail Address)
4- in the e-mail address field, click F4 and you will see the e-mail address internal table you defined in step 2 above; use that variable
Option 2 (if you can send to SAP inbox):
1- identify all recipients in a previous step and retrieve the agent types and IDs (structure SWHACTOR)
2- collect all agents into an internal table (you can use table type TSWHACTOR)
3- in the e-mail step, choose Recipient type as G (Organizational Object)
4- in the drop-down box, keep the value as "Expression"
5- use F4 help to insert the internal table defined in step 2 as the expression value
Hope this helps you.

Running 10.6.8. Trying to open and view contents of a CD (of an MRI) and getting message 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode' Is there a way? Thanks for the help.

Running 10.6.8. Trying to open and view contents of a CD (of an MRI) and getting message 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode' Is there a way? Thanks for the help.

Go to the support site for the provider of the MRI software.
Sounds like it windows/PC. I have ran across that for the CDs that veterinarians provide for digital x-rays.
I would try on a PC or on yuur Mac with Windows via BootCamp or a virtual machine like VirtualBox

Hi, Guys!!
And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
Only Happens when i use Firefox...
Cheers.
Well the issue is still there...
