Need Examples of Large Scale APEX

Hi,
I have a new project deal I'm working on and my potential customer (and I) need more information on the salability of APEX; up to 10,000 simultaneous users. Is this being done anywhere? What's the best architecture? Any Example web sites?
Thanks,
Steve

I know about a non-public APEX application the German T-Punkt shops are using.
Dietmar Aust (http://daust.blogspot.com/) was talking about it at the last DOAG APEX SIG workshop. They have 5.000 concurrent users using it every day. It's running on a Oracle RAC.

Your suggestion needed: Implementing large scale knowledgebase

Hi,
I am attempting to create a large scale knowledgebase (its size in the short term wont be huge - but it needs to have the capability of vastly increasing in size).
The information I will be storing is information extracted from documents on Wikipedia. For example, given the sentence:
"Tropical Storm Allison was a tropical storm that devastated southeast Texas"
I want to to break the information down into facts such as "Tropical Storm -> Allison", "Allison -> devastated southeast Texas".
My question is, what would be the best implementation to use to implement the knowledgebase?
I have two main ideas at present:
1. A realtively simple, single table MySQL database (however trying to determine how to insert all the facts I encounter into the same columns is an issue I am yet to resolve)
2. A type of Tree for each page (subject) I extract information from. E.g for the above example:
Tree Root -> "Tropical Storm"
Child Node of Tree Root -> "Allison"
Child of node Allison -> "devastated"
Child of node devastated -> "southeast Texas"
At present I am thinking the Tree opton may be a better way to implement the knowledgebase. However if I am going to represent each wikipedia page (subject) as an individual Tree I would need a way of storing them. I.e. in an object database or other method?
Firstly does anyone know how I may save each tree, so when its needed I could retrieve and search it for facts?
Secondly does anyone know of a better way I could implement such a system?
Thanks for your time and thoughts!

Your real question appears to be how do I save a "tree" type stucture in a relational database. And the answer is, it's pretty simple.
If your tree is simple enough (by which I mean that each parent may have many children but each child only will have one parent) then you can do it all in one table.
tblNode
id int primary key
parentid int (foreign key to itself.. sort of)
name varchar
so then for your example you would have
id parentid name
1 0 Tropical Storm
2 1 Allison
3 2 devasted southeast Texas
4 0 Hurricane
So then you would have a tree with Tropical Storm and Hurricane at the top. Underneath Tropical Storm is Allison. Underneath Allison is devasted...
So you can just query for the "root" nodes with
SELECT id, name FROM tblNode WHERE parentid=0
And then to get the child nodes for a particular node
SELECT id,name FROM tblNode WHERE parentid=1
etc
If you are going to have situations where the child has more than one parent then you need two tables.

RV120W Admin Question - Large-Scale Scale Deployment

Hello:
I've been demoing the RV120W for consideration of deploying these for a 'large-scale SOHO deployment', possibly hundreds of sites. While I'm not a big fan of the fact that there is no CLI, only a web interface, the RV120W does appear to do all the functionality that I need it to do on a basic level. However, since there is no CLI, is there a way to mange these for a large-scale deployment? For example, is there a way to backup configurations over the network, or a way to perform configuration changes to all the routers at once, on an automated level, such as CiscoWorks, or some other tool? I have not found or read about anything that would be suitable for this router. . .

There are not any tools for a mass deployment. About as far as it goes is make a 'master config' load to each router then tweak the unique attributes. I think in all matters, it will be a cumbersome process.

Is it possible to simulate large-scale non-linear systems using the Simulation Toolkit?

Hi,
I am new to LabVIEW, having used Matlab/simulink for a few years. I am trying to simulate a relatively complex non-linear vehicle model. In Matlab/Simulink I would use an m-file to describe the system equations (i.e. x1_dot=..., x2_dot=..., etc.). Is there a similar method in LabVIEW? I have got a simple simulation running using the 'eval formula node', a very ungainly method of substituting variables, and an integrator in a 'simulation node'. It takes about an hour to run a simulation that takes 3 seconds in Matlab. I just need to know if it is realistic to do large-scale simulations in LabVIEW, or if it was not designed for that and I should persuede the management to go
back to Matlab!!!
If it is possible, where can I find help on the subject? I have spent a long time looking on the web and come up with very little.
Many thanks in advance,
Paul.

If these are simple differential equations, easiest would be a for loop with a bunch of shift registers, one for each x1, x2, etc. containing the current values.
In your case, you would calculate all the derivatives from the instantaneous values inside the loop, then add them to each value before feeding them to their respective shift register again.
The attached very simple example shows how to generate an exponential decay function using the formula dx/dt= kx (and k is negative). The shift register in initialized with the starting condition x=1.

Line appears when applying drop shadow on large scale

Hello!
Some weeks ago I had to make a large scale graphic (800mmx2000mm) for a roll-up banner. I wanted to apply a drop shadow to a rounded shape, and ugly lines came up. Since it was a bit urgent, I decided not to use it.
But now I'm curious, so I quickly made an ellipse and added a shadow, so you know what I mean. This also happens when I save it as pdf or image.
Perhaps someday I will have to use a drop shadow on large scale. So, does anybody knows how to fix this or what could I do in case I need to use this effect in these conditions? I use Illustrator CS6 in Mac with Mavericks.
Thanks in advance.

I was able to create an ellipse to your dimension and got a good drop shadow. What happens if you manually make a drop shadow using appearance?
FYI I tried making the same using drop shadow filter in CS5 and got this error.
Incase your file was created in CS5 and opened in 6, I would recreate the drop shadow in CS6. I know they redid the gaussian blur in CS6, but not sure if that affected drop shadow.
CS6 is better on raster effects at large sizes.
My file was created and opened in CS6.
My ellipse is around 175cmx50cm. I tried it manually like you said and got the same results:
So, I guess I'm alone with such a problem. No idea what is wrong :/

Tweaking product prices on a large scale - how?

My Client has a software store on BC. His supplier is constantly changing their prices and my client wants to be able to quickly review prices, make changes to reflect supplier prices every few days
If I export the Product List the Excel export is unusable with it full of HTML markup from the product descriptions.
Apart from opening each product individually to check and tweak prices how is everyone ammending prices on a large scale.... My client only has 60 products at the moment but this is soon to quadruple and I have prospective clients looking at BC for their ecommerce solution and they have thousands of items.
Regards
Richard

If its just prices you want to input, see if you can just eliminate all the other columns that are not needed and only import the price column with its product identifier ofcourse, and see if it will just update the price and not have to deal with the descriptions...Just a thought...

Large Scale Digital Printing Guidelines

Hi,
I'm trying to get a getter handle on the principles and options for creating the best large and very large scale prints from digital files. I'm more than well versed in the basics of Photoshop and color management but there remain some issues I've never dealt with.
It would be very helpful if you could give me some advice about this issue that I've divided into four levels. In some cases I've stated principles as I understand them. Feel free to better inform me. In other cases I've posed direct questions and I'd really appreciate professional advice about these issues, or references to places where I can learn more.
Thanks alot,
Chris
Level one – Start with the maximum number of pixels possible.
Principle: Your goal is to produce a print without interpolation at no less than 240 dpi. This means that you need as many pixels as the capture device can produce at its maximum optical resolution.
Level two – Appropriate Interpolation within Photoshop
Use the Photoshop Image Size box with the appropriate interpolation setting (Bicubic Smoother) to increase the image size up to the maximum size of your ink jet printer.
What is the absolute minimum resolution that is acceptable when printing up to 44”?
What about the idea of increasing your print size in 10% increments? Does this make a real difference?
Level three - Resizing with vector-based applications like Genuine Fractals?
In your experience do these work as advertized and do you recommend them for preparing files to print larger than the Epson 9900?
Level four – Giant Digital Printing Methods
What are the options for creating extremely large digital prints?
Are there web sites or other resources you can point me to to learn more about this?
How do you prepare files for very large-scale digital output?

While what you say may be true, it is not always the case. I would view a 'painting' as more than a 'poster' in terms of output resolution, at least in the first stages of development. Definately get the info from your printer and then plan to use your hardware/software setup to give you the most creative flexibility. In other words - work as big as you can (within reason, see previous statement) to give yourself the most creative freedom. Things like subtle gradations and fine details will benefit from more pixels, and can with the right printer be transferred to hard copy at higher resolutions (a photo quality ink jet will take advantage of 600ppi) if that's what you're going for.
Additionally it's much easier to down scale than to wish you had a bigger image after a 100 hours of labor...

Applying Oil Paint Filter to Large Scale Images

I need to apply the effects available from the Oil Paint filter to very large, 80mb images. The filter works exactly as I need it to on small images, but not at large scale. A comment I have heard in a Lynda.com video on the Oil Paint filter mentioned that the filter does not work well on large images. However, I REALLY need this, even if I need to pay someone to write a program that can do it! Does anyone know if / how I can get the filter to work for large images and / or if there is a third-party plug-in that will provide the same results? Having this filter work on large scale images could make or break a business idea I have so finding a solution is extremely important to me.

What's the problem you're having with applying it to an 80 MB image? Is it that the effects don't scale up enough?
Technically it can run on large images if you have the computer resources... I've just successfully applied it to an 80 MB image, and with the sliders turned all the way up it looks pretty oil painty, though it kind of drops back into a realistic looking photo when zoomed out...
If it's just that the sliders can't go high enough, given that it's a very abstract look you're trying to achieve, have you considered applying it at a downsized resolution, then upsampling, then maybe applying it again? This is done that way...
Oh, and by the way, Oil Paint has been removed from Photoshop CC 2014, so if you're planning a business based on automatically turning people's large photos into oil paintings you should assume you'll be stuck with running the older Photoshop version.

Very-large-scale searching in J2EE

I'm looking to solve a very-large-scale searching problem. I am creating a site
where users can search a table with five million records, filtering and sorting
independantly on ten different columns. For example, the table might be five million
customers, and the user might choose "S*" for the last name, and sort ascending
on street name.
I have read up on a number of patterns to solve this problem, but anticipate some
performance issues. I'll explain below:
1) "Page-by-Page Iterator" or "Value List Handler"
In this pattern, it appears that all records that match the search criteria are
retrieved from the database and cached on the application server. The client (JSP)
can then access small pieces of the cached results at a time. Issues with this
include:
- If the customer record is 1KB, then wide search criteria (i.e. last name =
S*) will cause 1 GB transfer from the database server to app server, and then
1GB being stored on the app server, cached, waiting for the user (each user!)
to ask for the next 10 or 100 records. This is inefficient use of network and
memory resources.
- 99% of the data transfered from the database server will not by used ... most
users flip through a couple of pages and then choose a record or start a new search
2) Requery the database each time and ask for a subset
I haven't seen this formalized into a pattern yet, but the basic idea is this:
If a clients asks for records 1-100 first (i.e. page 1), only fetch that many
records from the db. If the user asks for the next page, requery the database
and use the JDBC API's ResultSet.absolute(int row) to start at record 101. Issue:
The query is re-performed, causing the Oracle server to do another costly "execute"
(bad on 5M records with sorting).
To solve this, I've beed trying to enhance the second strategy above by caching
the ResultSet object in a stateful session bean. Unfortunately, this causes a
"ResultSet already closed" SQLException, although I ensure that the Connection,
PreparedStatement, and ResultSet are all stored in the EJB and not closed. I've
seen this on newsgroups ... it appears that WebLogic is forcing the Connection
closed. If this is how J2EE and pooled connections work, then that's fine ...
there's nothing I can really do about it.
Another idea is to use "explicit cursors" in Oracle. I haven't fully explored
it yet, but it wouldn't be a great solution as it would be using Oracle-specific
functionality (we are trying to be db-agnostic).
More information:
- BEA WebLogic Server 8.1
- JDBC: Oracle's thin driver provided with WLS 8.1
- Platform: Sun Solaris 5.8
- Oracle 9i
Any other ideas on how I can solve this issue?

and use the JDBC API's ResultSet.absolute(int row) to start at record 101. Issue:
The query is re-performed, causing the Oracle server to do another costly "execute"
(bad on 5M records with sorting).
To solve this, I've beed trying to enhance the second strategy above by caching
the ResultSet object in a stateful session bean. Unfortunately, this causes a
"ResultSet already closed" SQLException, although I ensure that the Connection,
PreparedStatement, and ResultSet are all stored in the EJB and not closed. I've
seen this on newsgroups ... it appears that WebLogic is forcing the Connection
closed. If this is how J2EE and pooled connections work, then that's fine ...
there's nothing I can really do about it.
Another idea is to use "explicit cursors" in Oracle. I haven't fully explored
it yet, but it wouldn't be a great solution as it would be using Oracle-specific
functionality (we are trying to be db-agnostic).
More information:
- BEA WebLogic Server 8.1
- JDBC: Oracle's thin driver provided with WLS 8.1
- Platform: Sun Solaris 5.8
- Oracle 9i
Any other ideas on how I can solve this issue? Hi. Fancy SQL to the rescue! If the table has a unique key, you can simply send a
query per page, with iterative SQL that selects the next N rows beyond what was
selected last time. Eg:
Let variable X be the highest key value you've seen so far. Initially it would
be the lowest possible value.
select * from mytable M
where ... -- application-specific qualifications...
and M.key >= X
and (100 <= select count(*) from mytable MM where MM.key > X and MM.key < M.key and ...)
In English, this says, select all the qualifying rows higher than what I last saw, but
only those that have fewer than 100 qualifying rows between the last I saw and them (ie:
the next 100).
When processing this query, remember the highest key value you see, and use it for the
next query.

Working w/ large scale AI files

What is the best way to work with large scale (wall mural) files that contain many gradients, shadows. etc. Any manipulations take a considerable time to redraw. Files are customer created, and we are then manipulating from there in-house. We have some fairly robust machines ( mac pro towers- 14GB RAM, RAID scratch disk).. I would guess there is a way to work in a mode that does not render effects, allowing for faster manipulation? Any help would be great- and considerably help reduce our time.
First post- sorry if did something wrong- question / title wise/
THX!

In a perfect world, the customers would be creating their Illustrator artwork with the size & scale of the final image in mind. It's very difficult to get customers (who often have no formal graphic design training and are self taught at learning Illustrator & Photoshop) to think about the basic rule of designing for the output device -a graphics 101 sort of thing.
Something like a large wall mural, especially one that is reproduced outdoors, can get by just fine with Illustrator artwork using raster effects settings of 72ppi or even less than that. Lots of users will have a 300ppi setting applied. 300ppi is fine for a printed page being viewed up close. 300ppi is sheer overkill for large format use.
Mind you, Adobe Illustrator has a 227" X 227" maximum artboard size, so anything bigger than that will have to be designed at a reduced scale with appropriate raster effects settings applied. For example, I'll design a 14' X 48' billboard at a 1" = 1' scale. A 300ppi raster effects setting is OK in that regard. When blown up in a large format printing RIP the raster based effects have an effective 25ppi resolution, but that's good enough for a huge panel being viewed by speeding vehicles on city streets or busy highways.
Outside of that, the render speed of vector-based artwork will depend on the complexity of artwork. One "gotcha" I tend to watch are objects with large numbers of anchor points (like anything above 4000 points). At a certain point the RIP might process only part of the object or completely disregard it.

Has anyone ever used web start in large scale ?

Dear friends,
have you ever used some web start application in large scale ?
i.e., have you distributed some real application with web-start?
I�m doing such experience here and I�m a bit afraid about several problems in the final user machine - such as java version, browser incompatibility and mainly with the ugly WebStart cache problems.

can you give a bit more detail on what exactly you're afraid of? is this a www application? internal business app? etc.
for example you can force your java version in java web-start,etc...

ELearning for Large Scale System Change

Our next project is training for a large scale company wide system upgrade. Our users are very dependent on the software that will be replaced and several departments will need to learn their job anew. Any suggestions on how to use eLearning to increase adoption and comprehension of the new software?

Hi Lincoln,
I've worked on a number of large-scale IT change projects for international clients. I can make a few suggestions, some Captivate related, some more general eLearning related.
On projects like this I tend to produce three types of training: face-to-face, interactive tutorials/simulations & job aids. Ideally the three are planned together, allowing you to create a single instructional design plan. You want people to be introduced to the system, learning to be reinforced and then everybody to be supported.
The face-to-face training usually contains lots of show and tell, where the users are shown how to do tasks and then have a go at doing this themselves. Ideally a number of small tasks are shown and repeated, then they are all brought together by getting the learners to follow realistic scenarios that require all of the discrete tasks to be performed together. I find that lots of training doesn't integrate deeply with people's real-life jobs and the use of real world scenarios helps to improve retention and performance. I have made materials where the show-and-tell pieces have been pre-recorded, which you can do with Captivate.
The interactive tutorials are usually used as follow-on material to the face-to-face modules, allowing learners to go through simulations with guidance when they do something unexpected, though sometimes there is no face-to-face training and the interactive tutorials have to deliver all of the teaching. Sometimes these include sections that merely show users and ask questions afterwards. Sometimes they become very complex branching scenarios. I usually build all of this in Captivate, though I do find it quite buggy and frustrating at times.
Finally, I build small job aids. These are very specific and show how to do a well defined function, such as changes an existing customer's address. Sometimes these are Captivate movies, sometimes they are PDF files, often they are implemented as both. They can be embedded and/or linked from the system help screens and FAQs, as well as used in support responses and post-training emails. The movies tend to be short and sweet: 30-120 seconds long.
In an ideal world the number of job aids grows rapidly after implementation in response to user support requests, though in reality I often have to anticipate what users are going to find difficult and create all of these prior to launch.
If you are going to use Captivate for your project, then I suggest that you test, test and test again before agreeing what you will deliver. It's a great bit of software, in theory, but it is quite buggy. I'm working on a project with CP6.1 and I'm having lots of audio synch problems and video corruption issues publishing my final work to as MP4 videos.
In terms of effort, my rule of thumb is 20% planning, 60% design and scripting and 20% implementation.
I hope this helps,
David

ACS issues in large scale network with Prime Infra and WAAS express

Hi,
I wonder if there is a common practice or a recommended way for deploying large scale network where there are Prime Infrastructure (PI) and WAAS Central manager keep logging into routers (scale of 1000 or more) to collect statistics. The way PI and WAAS CM collect stats from the routers (besides using SNMP) is that they log in (authenticate) themselves with there usernames and password and issue multiple show and config commands on the routers. Imagin this routine happens every 5 - 10 minutes with all 1000+ routers at the same time and the impact to the ACS server in terms of authentication requests and AAA logs. Appreciate if somebody could recommend a solution where these elements can work together in a large scale network.
Thanks,
Tos

The AEBS is connected to the TC via an ethernet run from the basement to the main floor... its not connected wirelessly.
The "extend" feature is intended for wireless, not wired connections. Since you have the base stations connected by Ethernet, the downstream router just need to be reconfigured as a bridge. The bridged router would then perform as a combination Wireless Access Point and Ethernet switch. Neither base station should be configured for "extending."
Basically, you will want both to be configured for a "roaming" network.
o Setup the base station connected to the Internet to "Share a public IP address."
Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address
o Setup the remaining base station(s), as a bridge.
Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)
For each base station in the roaming network:
o Connect to the same subnet of the Ethernet network
o Provide a unique Base Station Name
o The Network Name should be identical
o If using security, use the same encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password.
o Make sure that the channel is set at least three channels apart from the next base station.
while the TC is running at 2.4ghz since my MBP is connected at speeds around 240 to the AEBS at the same time that my ipod is connected to the TC at speeds of only 54 max.
The iPod is a 802.11b/g wireless device. It cannot connect at greater than the maximum bandwidth for that mode ... which is 54 Mbps, regardless of the bandwidth available.

Typical/Common large-scale ACE deployment or designs?

I am deploying several ACE devices and GSS devices to facilitate redundancy and site load balancing at a couple of data centers. Now that I have a bunch of experience with the ACE and GSS, are there typical or common ACE deployment methods? Are there reference designs? I have been looking, and haven't really found any.
Even if they are not Cisco 'official' methods, I'm wondering how most people, particularily those who deploy a lot of these or deploy them with large-scale systems, typically do it.
I'm using routed mode (not one-arm mode) and I'm wondering if most people use real server (in my case, web servers) with dual-NICs to support connectivity to back-end systems? Or do people commonly just route it all through the ACE?
Also, how many VIPs and real servers have been deployed in a single ACE 4710 device? I'm trying to deploy about 700 VIPs with about 1800 Real Servers providing content to those VIPs.
How do people configure VIPs, farms, and sticky? I'm looking for how someone who wants to put a large ammount of VIPs and real servers into the ACE would succeed at doing it. I have attempted to add a large number in the 'global' policy-map, but that uses too many PANs.
I have tried a few methods myself, and have run into the limit on Policy Action Nodes (PANs) in the ACE device. Has anyone else hit this issue? Any tips or tricks on how to use PANs more conservitively?
Any insight you can share would be appreciated.

As far as i can see from your requirements i suggest you create 1 ear file for your portal and 1 ear file per module.
The ear file from your portal is the main application and the ear files of your modules are shared libraries that contain the taskflows. These taskflows can be consumed in the portal application.
This way, you can easily deploy 1 module without needing to deploy the main application or the other application.
It also let you devide your team of developer so everybody can work on a sepperate module without interfering.
On a sidenote: when you have deployed your main application, and later you create a new module, than you have to register that module to your application so then you will need to redeploy your portal but if you update an existing module, you won't need to redeploy your portal.
As for the security, all your modules will inherit the security model of your portal application.
