Need ideas on how to deploy to multiple locations

I could use a few tips. We are deploying ipads in groups of ten to 22 different locations. Each location has their own ideas about which apps to use. I have one macbook air with apple configurator loaded on it. If I use my master generic itunes account, I'll have a ton of apps to sort through and the user will be prompted for credentials for every app update. What would your do, or are doing, for mulitple deployments like this one? How would you set up your macbook? I've thought of a logon for each location on the macbook but then I have to download ios6 each time (can't find the actual ios6 ipsw file to copy to all of the accounts).

I think some type of centrally managed MDM would be best for the situation you describe. We are in the process of moving ahead with an AirWatch implementation for use as our MDM. There are lots of MDM products out there, including one that comes included with Lion Server. I think OTA management, where you have widely dispersed locations would be more practical. If you haven't you should also look at the Volume Purchasing program. Another consideration is whether the connecting devices will be company or personally owned, or a mixture of both. You could also look at the education deployment guide, even if you aren't in education, it has a lot of great ideas.

Need idea on how to replicate muti/multi choice form

I am working on trying to "computerize" a set of NCR forms we use for Home inspections.
So far, so good. I have check boxes, radio buttons, and more....
BUT...
I have a lot of lines that are multiple/multiple choice entries that work fine on paper, but I can't figure out how to present them on a electronic form...
Example:
Oven/Cooktop
[ ] Deterioration/Damage/Not Functional/Unsafe/Near End of Lifespan*
[ ] Not Inspected (power/gas off) [ ] Upper/lower Element-burner - not functional [ ] Heavy Corrosion/Wear
[ ] Recommend anti-tipping device (2) [ ] Gas shutoff valve not visible / none (2)(4)
On paper, I could select (check) the initial box, then circle "Damage " and "Near end of Lifespan"
Without creating a checkbox for EVER option, does anyone have an idea about how to present these type multi-option options.
I have 16 pages PACKED with choices like this. Pull downs don't help me much, as then the user can't see all the options.
We will use Pull downs for some of the canned comments, and other field type for simple (short) lists...
PS...thanks to this forum I figured out how to have text fields appear & disappear based on check boxes. Anytime there is a *,2 or 4 I need a comment to appear on the summary page...now if only I can figure out how to make the summary page look nice with missing fields....

One possible option is to use a button that trigger a pop-up menu to open,
where the user sees all the options at once and can select one of them.
This would require a bit of scripting, though, and the only advantage over
a drop-down menu is that all the options are visible in a single window, as
opposed to a scrollable list.

Need idea on how to do question and answer program

I want to create a troubleshooting program where it asks the user questions until its drilled down to an appropriate answer.
I've done this with a web server before but I can't seem to figure out how to do it in a program without involving many many forms. Any ideas on how to do the UI?
Thanks!

Building an expert system is not a trivial process so for a commercial app you'll need to do some research. For an internal app you should probably use a database. For a school project you can get away with storing the data in a file that is loaded into
memory (or simply building the data in memory directly). In any case you'll need to define a table of questions. If you support questions with fixed answers then you'll need a separate table for the answers associated with the questions.
If questions can be different types (as mentioned previously) then you'll also need to track the question type with the question. For the relationship between questions you can go different ways depending upon your requirements. If question 1 with answer
A goes to question 2 but answer B goes to question 3 then you can create a simple reference table that indicates what the next question is given the current question and answer, basically a state machine. If a single answer opens a whole series of questions
then you might do better to group the questions together and manage the transition between groups of questions. It really depends upon your requirements. You'll want to research state machines to implement this though.
On the UI side you really don't need to dynamically create anything. The only thing that changes between questions is the text and possibly the answer format (if you support multiple questions). As I mentioned earlier you can create a separate container
(Panel) for each question type and then show or hide the container based upon the type of question (from your database data). This eliminates the need to dynamically create the UI.

Can you use a publishing profile to deploy to multiple locations?

Is there a way to deploy my web app to multiple locations? Right now I am using a publishing profile (example below) and tried to use MSDeploy to deploy to my server and then just to a network location by having multiple PropertyGroup attributes.
Without creating two builds (one to deploy to the server and a second to the file system) how can I do this? The code below doesn't cause any errors but it only uses the last PropertyGroup.
Any suggestions?

How to deploy across multiple mid-tier instances

I was hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction. We have two portal/webcache mid-tier instances on release 10G AS 9.0.4.2. On the ias_admin home page I tried to create a cluster and add the two instances to a cluster but it won't let me do it for a portal type install. If that is the case, how do people handle deploying such things as portlet providers and data sources across multiple mid-tier instances? Here is the concern from our Portal admin:
As discussed, the inability to cluster the mid-tiers will cause issues in production as we try and keep deployed portlet providers with their required configurations and datasources in synch. While deploying and configuring 1-2 mid-tiers for a given portlet manually is do-able, the chance for out of synch components or configuration settings is amplified for each additional mid-tier. If we manually deploy 5 mid-tiers and accidently mistype the datasource for example, we'll have a random error that will occur once requests are attempted to be serviced by that mid-tier. This will make troubleshooting difficult. We really need some way to deploy and configure settings one time and have these items propagated to all the other mid-tiers.
What is the best way to handle this scenario?
Regards and thanks for any info,
Chris Schumacher

Jar files are not stored on the file system
Temporary files are held in bpel/domain/default/tmp folder, whereas jar files in the dehydration store for clustered deployment.
If you configure BPEL (not AS) cluster - files will be propagated to all nodes.

Need ideas on how to return display back to normal

Any suggestions on how to return the display back to normal setting on my Mac OS X, my cat "pawed something on the keyboard and now everything is stretched so big I have to scroll way down to get to the dock and way over to see what's on the sides. Then my daughter tried to fix it and the display is now a square center with the black sides cut off. Any idea are greatly appreciated!

First try opening the Universal Access System Preferences and check the'Seeing' options. It's possible that the 'Zoom' option has been enabled. If that's what happened then you should be able to hold down the command and option keys, then press the '-' and '=' keys to zoom the image in and out. Hopefully that is all that is needed.
You should also check the Display System Preferences to make sure that you are set to the native resolution of your panel (should be the highest highest resolution listed).

Need idea on how to implement this - repeating monthly data on day level

Hi all, i had run into the following thing, this may soung easy, but i'm searching for the best solution:
i have a dataset per the stores of the customer, the dataset is an asset count on the end of the specific month. I must not sum the data between two/N months.
We they need to do several querries like
sales/assets/day
Sales/itemgroup/asset/day
sales/salesperson/asset/day
etc.
My problem is that i have this data on a month&store level, but i need to provide a solution, so it could be handled as a "global" value on that, so they can query it "almost any ways".
I don't really want to generate day/other level data based on this, so any tricks, how to repeat the data in all lines for that specific month on presentation/Business level?
All ideas are welcome.
Thanks&Regards,
D
Edited by: user8113564 on 2012.09.11. 4:52

Sorry if I took this wrong but are you try to do level based measured
Take the same physical column in the fact and have one aggregated at a month level and the other at a day level.
If yes, make sure you build a date dimension hierarchy and mapped at the correct level to the fact. Then take your measure and correctly define them at the correct level, day, month etc
This should sort it out

I need ideas on how to organise large amount of family pictures

    My Dad's house had a major fire a month ago. And all the family slides and photo's have smoke damage some badly. And I am afraid the acids in the smoke are going to rapidly ruin the rest.
   I have about 600 slides in projector reels and 2-3 hundred loose from 1966 to about 1977. Plus a few hunderd photo's. Probally half have date tags on the slides but they are all out of order. And some have names and other info written on them I want to be able to save with the pictures. I am thinking I have to attach all the info I can get to the picturs as I scan them. But want to have some kind of logical order when I am done.
   I am thinking of having folders by years to put them in as I scan them and or by location when I know it. But its such a big project I am not sure where to start. Or if that is the best idea.
   So any idea's on the best way to to do it. And keep it organised and as easy as possible would be very helpfull. Both the Adobe Elements 8 software is new to me and so is the canoscan 9000f I got to scan them with.
Thanks Billy

While there is no one way to Organize, the basic idea in my opinion, is to associate all information with the photos themselves, using tags, captions and notes. The multiple dimensions you have described almost by definition rule out a uni-dimensional hierarchy like folders. If you must pick a folder method, I guess year taken is as good as any. But the rest of the information should go into multiple hierarchies, and the only way to do that is, as I said, tags, captions and notes in PSE. This information could be written into the files themselves using the PSE organizer command File->Write Tags...
Tags usually work for categories of information, such as Who, Where, What, When and Event, like a birthday party. Captions and notes are usually for one-of-a-kind information, such as descriptions like "Uncle Bob on the right, Aunt Matilda on the left, with their dog Peaches" (and of course, you would also assign the tags for Uncle Bob and Aunt Matilda).
Good luck!

Need ideas on how to display a footer on last page only on a dynamic document

I have a document that is similar to this...
Dear Customer,
paragraph 1 content dkdk dkd alkfdjaldkjfa d
dlkfajd;lkfja;dlkfj a.
[repeating subform transaction data]
Closing paragraph please contact us using one of the numbers listed below
contact info
The problem I am having is that I want the Contact Info block to appear as a footer on the last page only. In addition, I want the Closing Paragraph to be on the same page as the contact info block. The contact info is currently anchored to the bottom in the design view and when the transaction data repeats, it incorrectly pushes the closing paragraph into the contact area. So basically if the closing paragraph starts to bleed into the contact info block, I want both closing paragraph and contact info to break to a new page. I don't want to reduce the height of the content area because I want the transaction data to have the ability to display in the full length of the height if needed.

Every time you add an instance to you subform, you should hide the footer in the previous instance
e.g.
when adding an instance
var intCount = _subform.count;
_subform.addInstance(1);
Reference_syntax.resolveNode("subform[" + intCount.toString() + "].footer").presence = "hidden"
when removing an instance if applicable
_subform.removeInstance(x);
var intCount = _subform.count - 1;
Reference_syntax.resolveNode("subform[" + intCount.toString() + "].footer").presence = "visible";

Firefox crashed and subsequently wiped out my history - need ideas on how to retrieve history!

*Mac 10.6.6
*Firefox preferences always set to "remember history"
*Before crash and history wipe-out, I had just:
- been updating to iCal beta from apple.com

Then your address book cannot be restored. You might be able to reconstruct it to some point, based on your existing e-mail messages.
There is an [https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/thunderbird/addon/email-address-crawler address crawler add-on] for Thunderbird, but it was not tested with the latest version and might not install. You could try this, however getting this to work with the latest version may need help from the author.
Maybe you could temporarily install an older version of Thunderbird, as suggested by one of the commenters of the add-on.
Addons are not supported by Mozilla directly, but the author might be able to help you with it.
Hope this helps you further, maybe a technical person near you might be able to help you out locally?

Need ideas on how to manage upgrade to legacy proc, func ...etc

We have legacy procedure, function and packages. Ex: JOURNAL_DETAIL(), a journalization procedure.
All our applications make direct calls to this object (thru DLL sometimes). We implemented a new version of JOURNAL_DETAIL, with the same signature, but the code inside depends on a new package. Bug, some application cannot be updraded to the new package at the same time, so we decide to have two function:
JOURNAL_DETAIL -- the old ond
JOURNAL_DETAIL_XXX -- the new one
But then the other application would have to be changed to use JOURNAL_DETAIL_XXX(), so we decided we dont like this.
So we decided to provice a unique JOURNAL_DETAIL() which will decide if the old code should be called or the new one, depending is the new package is installed and initialized. But since we dont want to duplicate code in one humongous proc, we decided to provide:
JOURNAL_DETAIL -- now a dispatcher to
JOURNAL_DETAILI_LEGACY
JOURNAL_DETAIL_NEW_APPL
But eventually we wiil end up having several version of the same function in our schema, winch we are not sure its a good idea. With DLL, the problem is simple, keep the same interface, but change the code in the DLL. We would like to know if there is a way to do this in Oracle.
Maybe using packages ?
Thanks.

What do DLLs have to do with what you are doing in an unstated (3 decimal places) version of Oracle?
You have provided almost no information that can be used to generate a response beyond just a wild guess.
Assuming DLL refers to a Windows-only Windows-centric design I would urge you to move your code inside the database into packages.

Need ideas on how to visually separate jtoolbars

Hi,
I have placed a JToolbar with 8 buttons (icon-only display) on top of my application.
However, I would like to visually separate the buttons and split them into 3 distinct groups. One solution could be the use of the setName() method, and the use of 3 JToolbars but it does not show while docked.
any ideas?

this might be one way
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class Testing
public void buildGUI()
    JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar("tools");
    toolbar.add(new JButton(new ImageIcon("test3.gif")));
    toolbar.add(new JButton(new ImageIcon("test4.gif")));
    JButton b = new JButton();
    b.setEnabled(false);
    b.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5,5,5,5));//try 10,15 etc
    toolbar.add(b);
    toolbar.add(new JButton(new ImageIcon("test5.gif")));
    toolbar.add(new JButton(new ImageIcon("test6.gif")));
    toolbar.add(new JButton(new ImageIcon("test7.gif")));
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.getContentPane().add(toolbar,BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
    f.setSize(200,100);
    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

How to export to multiple locations

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to do a full database export on a SunOS 5.8 server. The problem I often face is, most of the file systems on this server are 50 to 70% filled. So I'm not able to use a single file system to store all my dump files. So what I did was, I created multiple dump directories each representing a separate file system on this server. Later while doing export I specified the name of the dump directories prefixed to the dump file names as shown below.
expdp username/password
full=y
dumpfile=oradata1:dumpfile1.dmp,oradata2:dumpfile2,oradata3:dumpfile3
filesize=5GB
logfile=oralog.log
This worked fine for me. But I faced some problems which I will list below.
1> As mentioned above, I used filesize parameter. At one point of time, it was saying required space was not available (I hope the error number is 39095) and the export was failing. Then after increasing the filesize parameter considerably the problem got solved. I'm still not clear why the export failed even though there was enough space in the file system. I increased the filesize parameter after reading one of the post in a oracle forum. But they did not mention how it works. I want to know how oracle determines the minimum size for a dump file which was causing this problem.
2> I thought of creating a shell script to automate this backup process. I used the same export with some new additions as shown below.
expdp username/password
full=y
dumpfile=oradata1:file%U.dmp, oradata2:file%U.dmp, oradata3:file%U.dmp
filesize=5GB
parallel=5
logfile=oralog.log
My idea was that, if I specify %U, oracle will automatically generate new file names when the current one got exhausted. Again here, the problem I faced was it was creating only one dump file in each directory. Later I found that the number of files generated depends on the value I specified for the parallel parameter. But when the export was completed, even though I have specified 5 for parallel parameter it created two dump files in the first dump directory, one each in the remaining two dump directories. Again I have no idea why this happened. I haven't found any answer for this yet.
Please help me fix these issues, I have been trying my best but I'm not able to find any help for my oracle related queries. The only thing I see in google is oracle data pump documentation, please suggest me some helpful sites, forums for oracle which will help me. I rely on this forum a lot and it has really helped me a lot, thanx for all the Oracle gurus.

Let me try to explain what is probably happening.

It then tried to create the next file in the next filesystem and could not fill it to 5GB so it failed.
When you specify multiple files, Data Pump starts on the first file, then when full, it opens the next file. (This is if parallel is 1) If parallel is larger, then it will open multiple files.
When you bumped the max filesize, the first file maybe took 10G and either the second file wasn't needed, or the amount of space for the second file was small enough to fit on the second file system.

>

Again here, the problem I faced was it was creating only one dump file in each directory.It would have created more files in the directories if the job needed more. It fills a file and then creates the next, but in a round robin order

If you have limited disk space and you tell the Data Pump job to write it's dumpfile there, it will. If it runs out of room, the Data Pump job will throw a fatal error. During export, Data Pump doesn't know how much disk space it will need. The estimate phase is just for data, it does not estimate the metadata. This can be larger than the data, or it could be smaller. It depends on how full your tables are.
Hope this helps

How do I open multiple locations from the History after selecting them with Ctrl+click?

Let's say I want to read some of the Mother Jones and Alternet articles I'd linked to from e-mails over the past in two months. I open my Firefox history. I do a search of the history libary to get a list of all the relevant locations. Then I use Control+click to select the few articles I want to read. I'd think Ctrl+O would open all those selected, but it doesn't. There must be a more efficient way than what I'm doing now, which is to open a new tab in the browser window, go to history, double click one line, wait for the page to load; open a new tab, go back to the history search results, click on a new location, wait as it loads, repeat.

Where are you viewing your History? <br />
Have you tried the History Sidebar? {Ctrl + H} <br />
You can {Ctrl + Click} the pages you want to open in new Tabs, one at a time. <br />
Also, if you have your Options > Tabs pref deselected for '''When I open a new tab, switch to it immediately''', it might be less distracting with all those pages opening in the background.

How can i save multiple locations to my reminders app on the iphone 4?

I want to be reminded to do a task when I arrive home. Is it possible to save my home location (and other useful locations) to the reminders app? This is more useful than guessing when I will arrive at a location and setting a reminder for then.
If not possible at the moment, Apple please include this in the next iOS update. Thank you.

Yes, this is possible. Go into your contacts list and choose yourself (hopefully you're in there and set up as the user on the phone.) Then enter in your addresses (home, work, school, etc.) and next time you set up a location based reminder those address will be in there.
