Need suggestion for a burner and set up....

Hi
Last week I downloaded latest addition of I-tunes and have imported some songs. I want to put on a basic CD for listening in car. My computer (windows XP Home) doesn't have a built in CD burner so I need to purchase an external CD burner.
I just need the basics. Any suggestions? How does one hook this up to the computer and how will I know if it will work with I-tunes? Thanks much

They can hook up via USB/Firewire. I would get it from here,
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=478&Nav=
Or here,

and they should work just fine with iTunes.

Newbee needs suggestions for a search and replace script

I can't figure out this scripting stuff. I looked at the scripting guide I downloaded from adobe some time ago. I am not a programmer.
I do not need a script that says "hello world."
I need a script that will do the following:
Search selected text from one point to another. let me explain.
I create a table of contents in InDesign CS4. We separate our book sections by "section". So the TOC looks like:
Section 1
item one.... 1
item two... 2-4
item three... 5
Section 2
item one... 1-3
item two... 4-5
item three... 6
and so forth.
I then manually go in and change the TOC to:
Section 1
item one... 1 - 1
item two... 1 - 2-4
Section 2
item one... 2 - 1-3
item two... 2 - 4-5
Where the page reference in the TOC contains the section prefix and the page number provides the page range (if more than one page). Should mention that when I create the TOC I use a place holder in the TOC style set up for the section prefix; that is, my TOC initially looks like:
Section 1
item one.... X - 1
item two.... X - 2, etc. I then highlight a range and find/change for each range.
So, the script would do the following:
Look in selected text (the entire TOC) frame which at times spans two or three pages from Section 1 to Section 2:
Change the "^t (tab before number) to "^t (section number)(space)(hyphen)(space)":
And then look at next number (i.e "4") and change the previous end of previous line from "1" to "1-3"
Then repeat for range from Section 2 to Section 3, etc.
Currently, I do it manually. That is ok, but it would be great to have a script that would do this for me.
Thanks in advance,
RPP

The last thing you need is a script.
When you want to make your TOC, go to Pages, Numbering and Section Options, and put a section prefix in like 1- for each section (both 1 and 2 in your case). Click "Include Prefix When Numbering Pages".
Then make your TOC.
It will have all the section prefixes. ("1-1", "2-2-4", examples)
Now just change the Numbering and Section Options BACK to your pre-TOC defaults. As long as you don't update the TOC under Layout/Update TOC, your TOC text will contain the prefix, but your page numbers will look normal. If you have to change the text in the TOC for any reason, do it manually.
Let me know if that works.

I have created a partitioned table with same struture and i am inserting the records from my original table to this partitioned table where i will maintain data for 6 months.
After loading the data from original table to archived table i will truncating the original table.
If my original table is partitioned then what about the restoring of the data??? how will restore the data of last month???

Now Iu2019ve to create a report which will be executed at the end of every month and should display the list of Functional Locations whose Cycles were planned in that particular month, along with the last completed Cycle/Date.
Thus based upon above data, if I execute report at the end of (say) March then report must display:
Functional ---     Curr. Cycle --- Planned Date --- Prev. completed Cycle --- Prev Completed Date

Any idea how can I display Previous Completed Cycle and Completion Date (i.e. the last two columns)?
Regards,
Vikrant.

hi vikrant,
You can a Cube at the reporting layer which gets data from DSO and which has these 2 extra characteristics completion date and previous cycle along with other chars and keyfigures from DSO.
You can populate these based on your logic in the field routine.
Hope it helps.

Formula for comparing string and setting text object to visable?

I have a report that is pulling data from a database and listing multiple records, one on each page. I am wanting to compare a value that is stored in a database field for each record and setting a text object visible based on the text.
I'm very new to Crystal Reports and not quite sure on the type of syntax needed to perform what I'd like below and can't find much information online about it. The type of formula I want would be something like:
if (vDetailReport.BoardAction = "Board Action w/Committee Action")
    txtBox1.Visible = True;
else if (vDetailReport.BoardAction = "Board Action w/o Committee Action")
    txtBox2.Visible = True;
else if (vDetailReport.BoardAction = "Committee Discussion Only")
    txtBo3.Visible = True;
etc.
The txtBoxes are text objects with an "X" as the string that are inside the boxes to appear as a checkbox. I'm wanting this to work for every record in the report.
Example:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v57/kaje103/boardaction.png
Any help would be much appreciated!

I believe that what you want to do here is place an text item consisting of an "X" at each location you want. Then select "Format Text", go to the Common Tab, and click on the button next to "Suppress". That allows you to put in a formula such as:
{vDetailReport.BoardAction} <> "Board Action w/Committee Action"
that will suppress the X unless it's the value you want checked.

ALV
ABAP List Viewer
The common features of report are column alignment, sorting, filtering, subtotals, totals etc. To implement these, a lot of coding and logic is to be put. To avoid that we can use a concept called ABAP List Viewer (ALV).
This helps us to implement all the features mentioned very effectively.
Using ALV, We can have three types of reports:
1. Simple Report
2. Block Report
3. Hierarchical Sequential Report
There are some function modules which will enable to produce the above reports without much effort.
All the definitions of internal tables, structures and constants are declared in a type-pool called SLIS.
1. SIMPLE REPORT.
The important function modules are
a. Reuse_alv_list_display
b. Reuse_alv_fieldcatalog_merge
c. Reuse_alv_events_get
d. Reuse_alv_commentary_write
e. Reuse_alv_grid_display
A. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY : This is the function module which prints the data.
The important parameters are :
I. Export :
i. I_callback_program : report id
ii. I_callback_pf_status_set : routine where a user can set his own pf status or change the functionality of the existing pf status
iii. I_callback_user_command : routine where the function codes are handled
iv. I_structure name : name of the dictionary table
v. Is_layout : structure to set the layout of the report
vi. It_fieldcat : internal table with the list of all fields and their attributes which are to be printed (this table can be populated automatically by the function module REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
vii. It_events : internal table with a list of all possible events of ALV and their corresponding form names.
II. Tables :
i. t_outtab : internal table with the data to be output
B. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE : This function module is used to populate a fieldcatalog which is essential to display the data in ALV. If the output data is from a single dictionary table and all the columns are selected, then we need not exclusively create the field catalog. Its enough to mention the table name as a parameter(I_structure name) in the REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY. But in other cases we need to create it.
The Important Parameters are :
I. Export :
i. I_program_name : report id
ii. I_internal_tabname : the internal output table
iii. I_inclname : include or the report name where all the dynamic forms are handled.
II Changing
ct_fieldcat : an internal table with the type SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV which is
declared in the type pool SLIS.
C. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET : Returns table of possible events for a list type
Parameters :
I. Import :
Et_Events : The event table is returned with all possible CALLBACK events
for the specified list type (column 'NAME'). For events to be processed by Callback, their 'FORM' field must be filled. If the field is initialized, the event is ignored. The entry can be read from the event table, the field 'FORM' filled and the entry modified using constants from the type pool SALV.
II. Export :
I_List_type :
0 = simple list REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
1 = hierarchcal-sequential list REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY
2 = simple block list REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND
3 = hierarchical-sequential block list
REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND
D. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE : This is used in the Top-of-page event to print the headings and other comments for the list.
Parameters :
I. it_list_commentary : internal table with the headings of the type slis_t_listheader.
This internal table has three fields :
Typ : H header, S selection , A - action
Key : only when typ is S.
Info : the text to be printed
E. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY : A new function in 4.6 version, to display the results in grid rather than as a preview.
Parameters : same as reuse_alv_list_display
This is an example for simple list.
2. BLOCK REPORT
This is used to have multiple lists continuously.
The important functions used in this report are:
A. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_INIT
B. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND
C. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND
D. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY
A. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_INIT
Parameters:
I. I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM
II. I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET
III. I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND
This function module is used to set the default gui status etc.
B. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND
Parameters :
Export :
I. is_layout : layout settings for block
II. it_fieldcat : field catalog
III. i_tabname : internal table name with output data
IV. it_events : internal table with all possible events
Tables :
i. t_outtab : internal table with output data.
This function module adds the data to the block.
Repeat this function for all the different blocks to be displayed one after the other.
C. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND
This function module is used for hierarchical sequential blocks.
D. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY
Parameters : All the parameters are optional.
This function module display the list with data appended by the above function.
Here the functions REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE, REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET, REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE can be used.
3. Hierarchical reports :
Hierarchical sequential list output.
The function module is
A. REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY
Parameters:
I. Export:
i. I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM
ii. I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET
iii. I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND
iv. IS_LAYOUT
v. IT_FIELDCAT
vi. IT_EVENTS
vii. i_tabname_header : Name of the internal table in the program containing the
output data of the highest hierarchy level.
viii. i_tabname_item : Name of the internal table in the program containing the
output data of the lowest hierarchy level.
ix. is_keyinfo : This structure contains the header and item table field
names which link the two tables (shared key).
II. Tables
i. t_outtab_header : Header table with data to be output
ii. t_outtab_item : Name of the internal table in the program containing the
output data of the lowest hierarchy level.
slis_t_fieldcat_alv : This internal table contains the field attributes. This internal table can be populated automatically by using REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE.
Important Attributes :
A. col_pos : position of the column

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

Use the default parser.
By default, WebLogic Server is configured to use the default parser and transformer to parse and transform XML documents. The default parser and transformer are those included in the JDK 5.0.
The built-in WebLogic Server DOM factory implementation class is com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.
The DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance method returns the built-in parser.
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

Suggestions for increased performance and better memory utilization for FTE

We all know that there is a pretty big downside to creating potentially thousands of DisplayObjectContainers (TextLines).
o - they are slow to create
o - they may be short lived
o - they occupy lots of memory
o - they may need to be generated frequently
Currently, there is only one way to find out all the information you need and that is to create all the TextLines for a given data set.
This means that FTE does not scale well. It becomes very slow for large data sets that need to be regenerated.
I am proposing a possible solution and hope that Adobe will consider it.
If we had the right tools we could create a sliding window of display objects. With large data sets only a fraction of the content is actually visible. So only the objects that are actually visible need to be created. There is no way to do this efficiently with FTE at the present time.
So we need a few new methods and classes that parallel what you already have.
New Method 1)
TextBlock.getTextLineInfo (width:Number, lineOffset:Number, fitSomething:Boolean) : TextLineInfo
This method returns simple information about all the lines in a text block. No display objects are generated.
class TextLineInfo
    public var maxWidth:Number;   // maximum width of all the textlines in the textBlock
    public var totalHeight:Number; // totalHeight of all the textlines in the textBlock
    public var numLines:int;           // number of lines in the lineInfo Array
    public var lineInfo:Array;           // array of LineInfo items for each textline
class LineInfo // sample - more or less may be needed
    public var rawTextLength:int;
    public var textWidth:Number;
    public var textHeight:Number;
    public var ascent;
    public var descent;
    public var textBlockBeginIndex:int;
Now getTextLineInfo needs to be as fast as possible. Find an advanced game programmer to optimize, write it in assembler, put grease on it.... do whatever it takes to make it fast.
New Method 2)
TextBlock.createTextLines (textLineInfo:TextLineInfo, begIdx:int, endIdx:int) : Array
Creates and returns an Array of TextLine objects based on the previously created TextLineInfo. A range can be specified.
It should be obvious that the above functions will improve the situation. Since this parallels what you already have it should not be earth shaking to implement.
New Display Object type
Much of the time you do not need a full blown Display Object Container for a TextLine. I suggest an additional lightweight TextLine class. A good parallel would be similiar to the difference between Sprite and Shape.
Now I have some done some testing with this idea. Since you cannot implement this fully as it stands, I had to make some concessions. This sample contains 100,004 characters of data. You can resize it and it will always be fast. This sample only creates the visible portion of the display, but you may scroll into view the invisible portions. Each time the page is resized, it will jump back to the top, because of the limitations of FTE currently.
The sample also contains a caret and allows the selection of an area but no editng, copy, paste etc., is available for this test.
If I did not do special handling for this, it would lock up for sure and be very user unfreindly.
Now it takes a moment to load 100k into the TextElement.so there may be a pause before you see that data. I may need to improve this. Once loaded it performs quite well.
Without the above or similiar optimizations. FTE is just not going to scale up very well at all.

Jeff, I don't see how a fix for that bug means waiting for a major release. It seems it just does not work as you expected and perhaps documented. It should not break any code, should it ? This seems a somewhat major improvement.
Using recreateTextLine in 10.1 I have these results so far:
My test case is 668 lines and using my slow test machine so the timing can be picked up.
When using just createTextLine and creating all text lines:
......Using removeChildAt to first remove all the old textLines then create all textLines:
..........it takes ~670ms
......Removing all children at once by removing the container then create all textLines:
..........it takes ~570ms
Using recreateTextLine, getChildAt, then create all textLines:
..........it takes ~670ms
So recreateTextLine does not improve performance it seems, just better memory I suppose.

Best Export Settings for DVD burning and Computer viewing

Hello,
I am trying to export a 1 hour video that I need to be compatible with standard DVD players as well as viewable on any computer.
Original footage was shot with a Canon 5d Mark ii in 24fps.
I have done all of my editing in Premiere Pro CS6. From there, I exported a high quality file to bring into Media Encoder (for trials of best output). My master file from Premiere was exported with the Preset MPEG2. The only thing I changed in the preset was VBR from 1 pass to 2 pass.. This gave me a 6.2 GB file.
I then brought that file into Media Encoder where I have tried the following presets:
MPEG2-DVD - Match Source Attributes
MPEG2-DVD - NTSC 23.976fps Widescreen High Quality
MPEG2 - HDTV 720p 23.976 High Quality
MPEG2 - NTSC DV High Quality
These settings have encountered various issues.. some have significant banding, but most importantly, none of them will play on my DVD player when I burn them to a disc.
The discs I am using are Sony DVD-RW with a 4.7GB capacity.
Where am I going wrong here? From what I've read, the format needs to be MPEG2 to be viewed on DVD... Sorry if I sound ignorant! This stuff is tricky..

First off, don't export your timeline and then take the result to AME to re-encode, this is compressing your video twice and degrading quality (not to mention takes extra time and hard drive space). Always export direct from Premiere to Media Encoder. If you must use an "intermediate" file as part of your workflow, perhaps to archive a completed video that might later be exported to other formats, then use a lossless codec such as UT or Lagarith (free downloads).
For DVDs, you MUST use "MPEG-2 DVD". Other forms of MPEG-2 are not appropriate, as the official DVD specification requires that the MPEG-2 file has certain attributes. Not recommended to use "Match Source" for ANY export, just choose an appropriate setting as needed.
This should be correct for your application - MPEG-2 DVD > NTSC 23.976fps Widescreen High Quality
If you want to encode a DVD file over 1 hour in length, then you will need to adjust the encoding bitrate so the resulting file will fit the disc. Rule of thumb is 560/minutes = bitrate, but you might round down the result a bit to allow for menu overhead and such, depending.
Once you export the "MPEG-2 DVD" file, you can NOT simply burn that file to DVD media. That is only creating a DATA disc and it will not be playable in a DVD player (though a computer or PS3/PS4 may work since they can play most media files). To make a DVD that works in all DVD players (and meets the spec), it MUST be "authored" in a program like Adobe Encore. This compiles your content and menus and all that and then writes the result to the disc in certain way so that DVD players can read the disc. If you open any DVD on your computer, you will see a folder called "VIDEO_TS" and inside that there are .vob files and others. That is a proper DVD. And once you have a proper DVD, you can't simply copy the VIDEO_TS to another disc (as DATA), you must tell the burning software to create as a "VIDEO DVD" and not DATA, or it again won't be readable in a DVD player. Very picky spec, sorry.
When using AME to export MPEG-2 DVD, it will create two files, audio and video (.m2v and .wav), you will then Import both of those into Encore together. Note that you CAN import other formats into Encore, such as .avi but Encore will then transcode that to the correct MPEG-2 format anyway, so best that you take charge and create the right media in the first place in AME before you get to Encore.
EDIT: In AME, any time that your source is higher resolution than the destination, such as HD to DVD, you can check the "Max Render Quality" button in AME to provide the best downscale quality.
EDIT 2: I see you're using DVD-RW media. That is fine for experimenting, but for delivery to clients always use good quality DVD-R or DVD+R media. DVD-RW may not have the best compatibility with players and costs more anyways. DVDs are so cheap now that I just proof to DVD-R and toss the bad ones, up to you.
Thanks

Need suggestions for concurrent reads while deleting all entities

Hello,
we need some suggestions for the following use case, as we cannot seem to find the correct transaction locking combination to meet our needs.
We are using BDB JE 4.1.10, and the entityStore is transactional. In a nutshell, BDB JE is used as a Cache for specific data that is pulled and updated regularly from a source Oracle DB. The application that holds BDB is a realtimel app, and response time is critical.
In order to avoid having to merge (Insert/update/delete) entities for some of the tables that are very static and small (a few hundred records that might change every day or so), we are trying to simply delete all records (with an EntityCursor loop, since there is no 'deleteAll' that we could find) and reinsert all data every 5 minutes, and then committing when the whole process is complete. This should always be very quick, but we are not immune to timeouts from the source Oracle DB, so the transaction can be long.
Ideally, while the delete/insert is happening, we want any concurrent read operations to return the old data (before the delete). We have made a test that locks the updater thread between the 'delete all' and 'update all' methods, so that the delete cursor is closed, but the Tx is not yet commited. We have tried the following for our reader thread:
1- If we get() a deleted entity with a LockMode.READ_UNCOMMITTED, we get a null entity back.
2- If we get() a deleted entity with LockMode.READ_COMMITTED, we get a LockTimeoutException.
We have also considered simply using truncate on the EntityStore, but this requires closing and reopening the DB, so this would not work for our need to always return a value, instantly.
Any ideas, suggestions on how we could do this in a simple manner?
Thanks,
Max

Hello Max,
I understand the issue you're describing.
I think the best performing solution by far is to load the new data into new databases while servicing reads from the old databases. When the load is complete, reads can be diverted to the new databases, and the old databases can then be removed.
Unfortunately, this is easier to do with the base API than with the DPL, because the DPL is managing the underlying (base API level) databases for you.
However, even using the DPL, this approach could be very straightforward if you happen to be keeping this data set (the one that needs to be reloaded) in a separate EntityStore, or you can change your application to do so. If so, you can create a new (empty) EntityStore with a different name and use this store for loading the new data. When the load is complete, divert reads to the new EntityStore object and remove all databases for the old EntityStore.
If this is impractical, please explain, and I'll try to suggest a different solution. If you cannot use a separate EntityStore for this particular data set, then the solution may be more complex.

New to server, need VPN for remote desktop and file share...

I've set up server and have the VPN working, I think, I need to have several outside systems join the servers VPN permanently to allow for file sharing and remote desktop. I don't want the "normal" internet browsing to go through the VPN (huge slow down) I have read that a "split DNS" or "split tunnel" is what I need, then to disable "send all traffic over VPN connection" option on each remote system. I was a little confused after reading on how to do this on Leopard server (the only instructions I found) but have absolutely no idea on how to do this on Snow Leopard server (the server I set up is 10.6) any assistance would be great, thanks in advance.

Server Admin, VPN, Settings, Client Information, Network Routing Definition.
Here add a private network record type that matches your LAN/VPN ip.
For example
IP Address: 192.168.0.0
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Type: Private
You can find more informations about this feature in Snow Leopard Server documentation:

Need suggestion for USB Bluetooth Adapter for HP Z230 Workstation

I've just purchased an HP Z230 Workstation, with an I7 processor. I need to equip it with Bluetooth capability so that I can connect the computer to an old Palm Tungsten T2.
There are gobs of USB 4.0 Bluetooth adapters / dongles on the market, but reading buyer's comments, they all seem to have some type of problem with compatibility or installation issues on something.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a USB Bluetooth adapter that has worked well with the Z230?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Terry
