Need Expert's Suggestion

I am working in IT concern for past 2 years. I have the knowledge in Core JAVA,J2EE(Jsp,Servlet), SQL and UNIX. I feel this knowledge is not enough to become Technically strong guy. My objective is to become an Technical Architect. I need advice from the experts that, What are the technologies in Java should be known to enhance our career as well as Design perspective. kindly suggest me some thing which need to be learn to acheive my objective. Also forward some useful materials to my email id if like to share it with me.
My email id is : [email protected]

The role of Technical Architect differs from company to company, I'm not sure there is a definative description of the role.
In general, I would say a Technical Archtect must have the following critical experience;
- At least 7 years developer experience, including 2 years as lead developer. This experience should cover several languages.
- A strong understanding of associated technologies relevant to their role, eg web servers, application servers, databases etc.
- The ability to keep up to date with new developments in technology, and to critically analyse products and technology and report to their peers, superiors and other interested parties.
- A strong understanding of theory, best/accepted practice and standards relevant to their role.
- The discipline to give advice and take advice and objective criticism, and to not overstep the remit of an architect (for example telling developers how to do their job).
I think it takes a certain kind of character to become an architect, with 2 years dev experience you probably shouldn't be making career plans like that just yet. The fact that you don't know what you need to know to be a Tech Architect means that you shouldn't be planning on being one.

  • Need EXPERT's suggestion for APEX CHART SERIES

    Hello Everyone,
    I have been trying to solve an issue with my apex line chart. The scenario is as follows:
    I have a table called revenue. revenues per year are saved in it. and revenues are generated from three sources which are also saved in the same table.
    I have made a line chart on it. works well.
    Now I have to show that if the value of one of the sources had fallen, how must have it affected the total. I made a number field that takes an estimated change value, and build my sql query with it. it works but the problem is that it changes the non-affected source too. it must change the value of the affected source only and hence the total value.
    I hope I make sense and anybody can suggest something.
    bold or I will put it this way, how can I write a select statement for a chart series so that one of the rows value does not change and the other two change. ... ?

    Samooray,
    Let's work with this question since there is more detail here than in the other one. {thread:id=2543702}
    First it's always help to know:
    Full APEX version
    Full DB/version/edition/host OS
    Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
    Browser(s) and version(s) used
    And sometimes this information as well.
    Theme
    Template(s)
    Region/item type(s)
    When a question goes unanswered for a while, there is no need to reply to it or to start a new question. You can edit the original question and just add "Bump" at the bottom and save the changes. This will bump it back to the top of the question list. And by that time, you might think of additional information you can add to the question.
    Say, why would a question go unanswered? Well, easy questions and frequently asked questions with well-known answers can be answered right away. Your question seems more complicated and I don't think we have all the information we need to understand exactly what the question is.
    You are doing a "series" chart. What kind of series chart: bar, column, line? What is each series? For example, components of revenue might be 1) sales, 2) licensing revenue and 3) other. Then you might have one series for sales, a second for licensing revenue and a third for other.
    Could you mock up a trivial example on apex.oracle.com http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=4700:1:0::::: ?

    1. what is meant by DB partitioning, in which scenario we use it and what the steps to do this task.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/33/dc2038aa3bcd23e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm
    2. Navigational attributes are use when v want to make use of this attr in reporting with certian actions. My question is do navigational attributes improves the performance if so how and if not what are the draw backs.
    Nav Attribute:-
    The dataflow performance/space is affected in the infoobject load, since the sid tables is growing with navigational attributes
    The dataflow performance/space is not affected in transactional data (except for the aggregates).
    So every navigationa attribute in an infoobject can be added to the infocubes without any cost.
    The performance in query is affected, but the solution is simple: do not use!
    Please check the following thread:
    Re: Navigate Attribute
    3. Multiprovider are use to access the data from different infoprovider to generate the reports.
    In what way multiprovider inproves the performance??
    --THis causes performance degradation as OLAP has to divide the query in many sub-queries.

  • Session/jstl  and load balancing - need expert advice

    After user loggs in, I am getting locale from db and storing it inside userSession along with userLogin. Inside jsp using <fmt> tag to display locale based resource property.
    HttpSession userSession = request.getSession(true);
    userSession.setAttribute("UserLogin", oRS.getString("user_login"));
    Config.set(userSession, Config.FMT_LOCALE, currentLocale);Also using filter after login page to check for User Session. Currently all working fine .
    But if i want to make use of load balancing, whether still it will work?
    1)I understand that if i depend on network config i.e. session request sticks to one server then i believe shld not be a problem
    2)But if that is not the choice then what else ? Client want to make use of serialization technique. I do not know much about it, how to implement it, any sample is greatly appreciated.
    3)what about jstl Config.set(..) whether any changes needed here?
    4)Do i need to change filter code.
    Pls pls help me, i really need expert advice on this.
    regards
    Manisha

    1)If i want cluster server to replicate the session
    then all attributes saved in the session have to be
    serializable.yes.
    2)In docs it is mentioned
    Use setAttribute to Change Session State
    In an HTTP servlet that implements
    javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, use
    HttpSession.setAttribute (which replaces the
    deprecated putValue) to change attributes in a
    session object. If you set attributes in a session
    object with setAttribute, the object and its
    attributes are replicated in a cluster using
    in-memory replication. If you use other set methods
    to change objects within a session, WebLogic Server
    does not replicate those changes. Every time a change
    is made to an object that is in the session,
    setAttribute() should be called to update that object
    across the cluster.
    Whether it means that if I want to store a object
    (which is serializable) e.g. 'String' inside session
    and use setAttribute() method then I do not need to
    make that object implicitly serializable?No, you still need the objects to be serializable.

  • WM to be streamlined - Need Expert Suggestions

    Hi experts,
    I need your suggestions on the below scenario.
    I have been handovered with responsiblity to streamline the WMS system by resloving issue and fixing the gaps.
    Problem is Client was not using WMS sytem from last 9 months and it is still connected to MM.
    Hence everyday corresponding  WM docuements are generated relevant to MM and other process which is still in open status.
    Now i am in dilemma how to tackle this situation !
    I have the below plan :
    1.Resolving and closing all existing issues in production server.
    2.Stock correction in IM and WM
    3.Identifying and fixing the gaps
    But what if i found that the existing process conifured in SAP doesn't need the business requirement ? And need to implement again ?
    Believe me that any help on this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Manish,
    Thanks a lot for sharing your views on this plan.
    I found some congigurations changes to be done.
    So my plan is to first resolve the productions issues and then disconnect WM from IM.
    2) They were not using WM but WM was still active as per SAP WM, for any movement  system create TO without TO confirmation you can not post a delivery. How are they managing today if there is some alternate way they can move back to the same. Try to understand that ?
    Ans)They were able to issue the stock by using allow negative stock functionality
    But now the major challenge is to clear the negative stock from interim storage types(911,914,921,922)
    So is there any short cut method to clear this negative stocks lying in interim storage types as now i am doing it manually but there are thousands of -ve stock entries.
    It is getting horrible to clear those bulk -ve entries !
    Thank you..

  • Need expert opinion

    hi experts,
    we are going to setup Oracle RAC of 4 nodes using IBM P-series servers with IBM SAN DS-4800. the space is minimum 3 TB. now what I want is to implement ASM Volumes and OCFS for Database Files, FlashBack and OCR, Voting Disk respectively. now what I'm planning is to make
    (ASM) 2 Volumes with Normal Redundancy for Database Files and
    (ASM) 1 Volume for FlashBack with External Redundancy and
    (OCFS) 1 Volume for OCR and Voting Disk with External Redundancy.
    Now plz guide me whether you think its an optimal solution or not? I would appreciate all kind of suggestions and recomendations.

    I would insist on these disks being striped and mirrored on the storage array/network and be given to the o/s as the largest possible LUNs.
    On the o/s side, I would partition one of these into 2 partitions. One for OCFS2. The remaining partition for ASM. The other LUNs all ASM volumes.
    The OCFS partition need not be large. The voting and registry files are small. But having a clustered file system is very useful (think Oracle database directories being available on all nodes, common set of scripts and files available on all nodes, etc).
    In ASM, the LUN disks (raw devices or multipath devices if not using the ASMLib kernel module) will be defined as one or more disk groups with external redundancy.
    I would not bother managing the LUNs as separate disk groups and trying to spread and balance I/O by creating some datafile one one disk group and others on the other disk groups on the RDBMS side. ASM does all that for you.
    Also, actual I/O bandwidth is a primary factor of the HBAs - and the size and number of I/O pipes to the storage device. It does not make sense wanting to manage those aspects at RDBMS level.

    Does modification of Transfer rule and update rule require data deletion from all the dependent data targets?
    Hi Experts,
    Two new key figures have been added in data source and subsequently in transfer rules, updated rules, ODS and cubes there in data flow.
    The changes are supposed to move in production on this weekend. I am afraid; does this activity require data deletion from the data targets before moving the transports?
    With out deletion of the data can these transports be moved in prod?
    Please reply with your valuable advice.
    Points will be rewarded.
    Thanks,
    BW USER

    hi,
    hope u might have to do changes in the cube and ods also rite?
    and you need to have data for the added key figure in the cube/ods for the already existing records in the cube/ods.for this you copy content in other cube/ods and do delete and reload the data to the new changed cube/ods.

  • Need Expert Help.....Photoshop to slice pages in half Batch mode

    I've searched everywhere for a solution to this, but in vain. Pls. Help...
    I have taken digital images (color) of a few pages from a printed book. These are all double pages (2 facing pages in 1 shot). Pls. see the attached sample image. http://www.box.net/shared/ay2rqjp317
    I want to use Photoshop (Elements 6 / CS 3 or above) to AUTOMATE the following :
    1. Cut the single image (of two facing pages) into 2 single page images. (Also if you could suggest a way that picture be split (in batch mode) to NEARLY FIT the single page dimensions of the book).
    2. Straighten the resulting single page image (to look NEARLY like a flat eBook - with text in ALMOST straight lines).
    3. If at all possible, Remove imprint of fingers (seen bottom of the pic- finger holding pages flat- I've held the same place in all images).
    4. Convert color image to black and white, to remove unnecessary details.
    5. CREATE A BATCH process of all above steps, so it can be done for the 30 or so double pages I have, creating 60 single pages.
    After step 5, I will run Omnipage to OCR text from all pages (This is simple, I can do it) and create a clean B&W book type PDF of 60 pages or so.
    Its really important that I do the batch mode for all...this is beacuse in sucesssive projects, I need to digitize a few pretty old books.
    At wikihow, I fdid find some useful info, but not for STEP 1 to 3, which are crucial. I'm reproducing that info here, if someone wants to incorporate that into approach they suggest for me.
    Pls. Help...I'm just an amateur with Photoshop. Thanks a ton..
    -------------------- Notes from WikiHow ---------------
    4 # Create a processing action: Photoshop (any version) is a good software for processing, but other software may work just as well. To save file size and increase readability, you want to strip out as much extra color information as possible. You can automate this process: Start recording a new action. Then select Image>adjustments>threshold to convert to black and white - drag the cutoff slider to where it looks most readable. Save the images using File > Save for web and devices. Save in the gif format. You only need two colors, and you may safely crank up the lossy compression. Using this method you can compress six megapixel images down to under 200 kb, down from the roughly 2 mb original files.
    5 # Create your pages. Now that you have created your action, open Photoshop and select file > automate > batch. Select the action you just made, as well as the original images you want to work on. Then select a destination and numbering scheme. Run the process and you should end up with a number of compressed GIFs. Review your images again. If any of your images were underexposed or out of focus, they will be illegible.

    Someone may be able to recommend some easier to use software, but on machines where I do not have Photoshop I use http://gimp.org/downloads/

  • Need experts opinion... Should I use smcFanControl?

    I've recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13" with an i7 processor and 8GB of RAM and have been watching flash player videos on the internet and playing pretty basic games that use programs such as Java and have experienced temps topping at 101 degrees Celsius. I'm not an expert with laptops, but I have done a TON and I mean HOURS of reading online for the past several days and have read posts where people have encouraged the use of smcFanControl when needed and read the opposite side where people say to not mess with it and trust in Apple's engineering. From my basic understanding, it seems like more acceptable temperatures should be around 80-90 degrees Celsius for these tasks. Am I correct in this thinking to protect my laptop? This is my 1st laptop and I want to make sure I can make it last as long as possible, so what's the truth? Should I use smcFanControl just when I plan to play games or watch flash player videos? If you've used smcFanControl for years, please speak up along with anyone else who knows a lot on this issue. Thanks!!

    You will read the XML structure into some kind of memory model. When the user supplies a value you will search for a matching value (likely from a collection such as a map or list) and return the value in that object that you locate.
    what should be done for this ..
    See above.
    and what if i change values in my xml file..will i have to restart my application to load xml again ?
    If you change the file on the filesystem, you should simply be able to re-parse the XML file and update your in-memory model. If you instead update your in memory-model, you can serialize the model back to XML on the filesystem. Neither needs to necessarily have anything to do with application start-up (other than the fact that you would normally read in the XML model then, but updating is a separate concern, as would re-reading it).

  • Need Expert's Advice - How to use LabView Efficiently and to increase Readability

    My application is fairly complex. It is a real world testing applications that simultaneously controls 16 servo motors running various stress testing routines asynchronously and all at the same time. The application includes queues, state machines, sub VI's, dynamically launched VI's, subpanels, semaphores, XML files, ini files, global variables, shared variables, physical analog and digital interfaces and industrial networking. Just about every technique and trick that LabView 2010 has to offer and the kitchen sink as well.
    Still I am not happy with the productivity that LabVIEW 2010 has provided, nor the readability of my final product.
    Sometimes there are too many wires. Much of my state machines have a dozen or more wires just going from input to output, doing nothing, just because one or two states in the machine need that variable in some state. Yeah, I could spend alot of time bundling and unbundling and rebundling those values, but I don't think that would improve things much.
    We have had a long discussion about the use or misuse of Local variables in this forum and I don't want to repeat that here. I use them sparingly where I think it is relatively safe to do so. I also have a bug whenever I try and copy some code that contains one or more local variables. On Pasting the code with local variables, the result is something other than what I expected, I am not sure what. I have to undo the paste and rebuild the code one object at a time.
    I am also having trouble using trouble using Variable Property Nodes. When I cut and paste them, they often loose their reference object and I have to go back into the code and redo the Link To on each one. That wastes alot of time and effort.
    Creating subVIs is often not appropriate when the code makes many references to objects on the Front Panel. Some simple code will turn into a bunch of object references and dereferences which also tends to take alot of work to clean up and often does not help overall readability in many cases. I use subVIs when appropriate, but because of the interface overhead, not as often as I would like to. My application already has over 150 sub VIs.
    The LabView Clean Up Diagram function often works poorly. It leaves way too much empty space between objects, making my diagrams 3 to 4 24" screens wide. That is way too much and difficult to navigate effectively. The Clean Up function puts objects in strange places relative to other objects used nearby. It does a poor job routing wires and often makes deciphering diagrams more difficult rather than easier.
    My troubleshooting strategies don't work well for large diagrams and complex applications. The diagrams are so complex that execution highlighting may take 20 minutes for a single pass. Probes help, but breakpoint aren't of much use, because single stepping afterwards often takes you to somewhere else in the same diagram. I can't follow the logic well doing this.
    Using structures, I may have Case structures nested 5 to 10 levels deep inside some Event Structure inside a While Loop. Difficult to work with and not very readable.
    All and all, I can make it work, but I am not happy about the end result.
    I am hoping to benefit from some expert advice from those that are experienced in producing large complex applications efficiently, debugging efficiently and producing readable diagrams that they are proud of.
    Can anyone offer their advice on how best to use the LabView features to achieve these results in complex applications? I hope that you can help show me the light.

    I'm not an expert but I'm charged out as one at work.
    I am off today so I'll share some thoughts that may help or possibly inspire others to chime. I have tried to continually improve my code in those areas and would greatly welcome others sharing their approaches and insights.
    Note:
    I do refactoring services to help customers with this situation. What I will write does not represent what we do in a code review since our final delverable is a complete final design and that is beyond the scope of this reply.
    I'll comment on your points.

    While watching Olympic figure skating competion slow-motion replays, I learned how the subtleties of how the launching skate is planted while entering a jump can make the difference between a good jump and a bad one.
    In software, we plant our foot when we turn from the design to the development. I have to admit that there where a couple of times when I moved from design to development too early and found myself in a situation like you have described.
    How to know when design is done?
    Waterfall says "cross every 't' and dot every 'i' " while Agile says "code now worry about design latter" and Bottom-up "says "demo working why bother designing" (Please feel free to coment on these over-simplifications gang).
    My answer is not much more helpful for those new to LabVIEW. 
    My design work is done when my design diagrams are more complicated than the LabVIEW diagrm they describe.

    Have you posted any design documents you have? These will help greatly in letting us understand your application. More on diagrams latter.
    Anytime I see multiple "variations on a theme", I think LVOOP (LabVIEW OOP ) . I'll spare you the LVOOP sales pitch but will testify that once you get your first class cloned off and running as a sibling (or child) you'll appreciate how nice it is to be able to use LVOOP.
    Discalimer:
    If you don't already have an OOP frame of mind, the learning curve will be steep.

     Full disclaimer:
    I used to be of the same opinion and even used performance arguements to make my point. I have since, changed my mind.
    Let me illustrate (hopefully). This link (if it works for you, use lefthand pane to navigate hierachy) shows an app I wrote from about 10 years ago when I was in my early days of routing wires. Even the "Main" VI started to suffer from too many wires as this preview from that links shows.
    Clustering related data values using Type Definitions   is the first method I would would urge. This makes it easier to find the VIs that use the Type def via the browse relationships>>>callers. If I implement my code correctly, any problem I believe is associated with a particualr piece of data that is a Type def has to be in one of the VIs that use that type def therefore easier to maintain.
    When I wrote "related data" I am refering data normalization rules (which my wife knows and I picked-up from her and I claim no expertise in this area) where only values that are used together are grouped. E.G. Cluster named File contains "Path" and "Refnum" but not "PhaseOfMoon". This works out nicely with first creating sub-VI since all of the data related to file operations are right there whe I need it and it leads into the next concept ...
    When I look at a value in a shift register on the diagram taking up space that is only used in a small sub-set of states, I concider using an Action Engine . This moves the wire from the current diagram into the Action Engine (AE), and cleans up the diagram. The AE brings with it built-in protection so provided I keep all of the opearations related to the the Type def inside the AE I am protected when I start using multiple threads that need at that data (trust me, it may not make a difference now but end users are clever). So that extra wire is effective encapsualted and abstracted away from the diagram you are looking at.
    But I said earlier that I would not sell LVOOP so I'll show you what LVOOP based LV apps look like to contrast what I was doing ten years ago in that earlier link. This is what the top level VI looks like.
     And this is the Analysis mode of that app.
    I suspose I should not mention that LVOOP has wizards that automatically create the sub-VI (accessors) that bundle/unbundle the clusters, should I?
    Continuing...

    That sounds like a usage issue. Posting code to illustrate the process will et us take a shot at figuring out what is happening.

    Creating subVIs is often not appropriate... My application already has over 150 sub VIs.
    "Back in the day..." LV would not even try to create a sub-VI that involved controls/indicators. I use sub-VIs to maintain a common GUI often but I do it on purpose and when I find myself creating a sub-VI that involves a control/indicator, I hit ctrl-z immediately! 
    I figure a way around it (AE ?) and then do the sub-VI.
    Judging by your brief explanation and assuming you do a LVOOP implementation, I would estimate that app need 750-1500 VIs.

    The LabView Clean Up Diagram function often works poorly.... 
    THe clean-up works fine for how I use it. After throwing together "scratch code" and debugging the "rats nest" I'll hit clean-up as a first step. It guess good enough on simple digrams and in some cases inspires me to structure the diagram in a different way that I may not have thought about. If I don't like, ctrl-z.
    Good deisgn and modualr implementaion led to smaller diagrams that just don't need thrre screens.

    Smaller diagrams single step faster since the sub-VI run full speed. I cringe thinking about a 3-screen diagram with multiple probes open ( shivver!).
    Re: Nestested structres
    Sub-VIs (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
    If it works you have prven the concept is possible. That is the first step in an application.
    I hope that gives you some ideas.

  • Need some help & suggestions in designing Crystal Report

    I need to arrange my data in the following manner:
    I need to group my data by a field and need to show multiple information for that record at the same row level and then include some crosstab information. I realized that I cannot have multiple information at the same row level for a group.
    As an example, please consider that the group field is Name and A and B are two records returned based on the grouping field. I also need to show 'Description' and a color coded box for that record.
    And then I need to show the cross tab data for that group.
    I need a table something like what is shown below:
                                                              X  Y  Z
    A.Name A.Desc A.ColorCodeBox    Var1    0  1  2
                                                      Var2    2  3  4
                                                      Var3    2  4  4
    B.Name B.Desc B.ColorCodeBox     Var1    0  1  2
                                                      Var2    2  3  4
                                                      Var3    2  4  4
    Where the numbers are some values and X,Y,Z are the column headings and the numbers are some values.
    Could you please provide some suggestions as to how this can be achieved? I am using the default Crystal Reports that ships with Visual Studio 2008 Prof. But if there is some other feature available with any other version, we can consider switching to it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is how my table is laid out.
    col-1    col-2     col-3              col-4  col-5  col-6
    field-a   field-b   field-c        r1 11111  22222  33333
                                       r2 44444  55555  66666
                                       r3 77777  88888  99999
    As you had mentioned, I am creating two group headers in my group section where the first group header contains the following and overlays the second group header.
    col-1    col-2     col-3    
    field-a   field-b   field-c                                                                        
    And the second group header contains  the cross tab information.
              col-4  col-5  col-6
        r1 11111  22222  33333
        r2 44444  55555  66666
        r3 77777  88888  99999
    And I suppressed the column headings (col-X)  from both the groups using the formula that you mentioned. But here is how my table is being laid out
    col-1    col-2     col-3              col-1  col-2  col-3
    field-a   field-b   field-c        r1 11111  22222  33333
                                       r2 44444  55555  66666
                                       r3 77777  88888  99999
                                                                               <- blank line
    field-a   field-b   field-c        r1 11111  22222  33333
                                       r2 44444  55555  66666
                                       r3 77777  88888  99999
    I have already done a fit section and made sure there is no space. Also my crosstab table contains string fields and I am suppressing the row and column totals in the crosstab as I do not need them.
    Do let me know if you have any ideas on this.

  • Need helpful purchase suggestions!

    Swamped with work, from home and need to get wife on her own bookkeeping computer. (I apologize I have no time to research on my own)
    1 - I have a G5 (with no airport card, I'll have to get one)
    2 - I want her to have a Mini
    3 - Want the wireless connection (Airport)
    4 - She will grab Quickbooks files over the network (from mine) - and she and kids will surf and play games (little stuff - not graphics intensive, oldest is 9)
    I don't understand what I need in an Airport base station.
    She will need to print to my printer. And I would like the iTunes option to patch into a home stereo.
    Do I have to have both base stations?
    I think that is the only question. Please make suggestions or ask questions.
    Thanks! Tg
    Dual 1.8gb G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    ...can I not get the iTunes functionality from the Base Station Extreme?
    No, only the AirPort Express has the audio out port.
    The Extreme is faster too is it not?
    No, they are the same.
