OCS components on different platforms?

For example.....
can we install OCS infrastructure on Linux, but install OCS applications on Windows?

The pdf you reference is a generalized Adobe EULA
I was referencing the Lightroom 3 specific PDF (per my link above), not the generic Adobe one.
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/photoshoplightroom_3.pdf
from http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/#desktop
However, the Lightroom EULA on Adobe's site makes no such claim, and has no clause 2.10.
I read that too but that EULA is on Adobe Labs. I'm unclear if that's related to the shipped version of LR3.
I'd say that you can run LR on both a Windows machine and a Mac machine using the same license. The way that Adobe ship Lightroom (one disk, one serial number works on each platform) tends to correspond with my thesis.
I've always been under that impresssion too.
However the LR3 EULA seems to suggest otherwise.

How to pass/share components between different JPanels/Container

Dear Friends,
I know here a lot Java Guru, I met a problem below.
How can I pass components between different JPanels??
here, ListPanelMain.java is main,
When I click a tree node in splitPane, I can see all its children on the right splitpane, but I hope they can be seen on another Panel called "ListRightPane.java"
How to do it??
Why cannot pass??

Adobe media encoder components have different versions error CS5 (32 bit)

I updated the CS5 suite the other day and all the updates installed fine, except adobe media encoder which said "done with errors" (no indication of what the errors were mind you).
Now, when I open Adobe Media Encoder (CS5) it pops up saying "Adobe Media Encoder components have different versions. Please update Adobe Media Encoder."
This is the 32 bit v of CS5 (so no Premiere or AE) but Adobe Media Encoder is still used to encode flv etc for the web (Flash and Dreamweaver).
The CS4 suite version of Adobe Media Encoder (that does have Premiere and AE) works the same as always. Has anyone else noticed this?

This was a problem with the installer.
We have updated and posted a new version to Adobe.com.
If you still get error on launch, you can download the new patch and install it to fix this issue:
1.       Go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4869
2.       Download the patch and save it on your Hard drive.
3.       Unzip the file.
After unzipping the file, you should end up with one installer and two folders:
4.       Dbl-click on “AdobePatchInstaller.exe”.
This will over write the previous 5.01 patch you installed with new one.
Since we didn't actually change the files inside the patch, but basically fixed the installer, this update has the same update number 5.0.1.
We have also updated the update manager and future automated updates won't have this issue.

Urgent! Application tier and Data tier on different platforms

Hello!
I would be very grateful if someone confirms that the deployment of the Beehive, where Application tier and Data tier are placed on different platforms, is supported.
For example, Oracle Database (Data tier) on Linux, and Oracle Application Server (Application tier) on Windows.
Thanks in advance.
Dima.

Hi Dima,
Yes, this will work.

Building and Deploying Java applications in different platform (OS)

Hi all,
We currently have a J2EE based web services application that is built (compiled) and deployed on Windows 2000 Advanced server. But in future, we will be using WIndows 2000 server for development only and HP-UX for production.
So, we are planning on executing the build (compilation) of our application on Windows 2000 server and deploy the same binaries (WAR) on HP-UX also. So, I wanted to know anyone has faced issues in the past by deploying an application on a different platform than the one on which it was compiled. Is it recommended by SUN to compile and build Java applications on the same platform on which the application is deployed.
Note that in my case, the JVM versions between Windows server and HP-UX would be the same. But the JVM for Windows server has been provided by Sun and the JVM for HP-UX has been provided by HP-UX.
Your inputs are greatly appreciated.

Well, it's all Java, right? So what's the problem? Since the JVM for HP-UX isn't made by Sun, so there could be compatibility problems, but I would expect that would be minimal if a problem at all. But you can't know unless you run it.
I don't know about building on the different systems. Java's supposed to be write once, run anywhere.... The byte code should be compatible no matter what. I've never heard of Sun saying "compile it on each platform". If the HP JVM isn't going to like bytecode compiled on Windows or another OS, then something isn't kosher with someone's JVM or compiler.

Adobe Pro on 2 different platforms?

Why is it not possible to install Adobe Pro on 2 different platforms? It allows me to install on 2 computers but not 2 platforms? I'm having issues understanding why I'm not allowed to install on 2 computers regardless of the platform.

It's an issue because they chose to do it that way, and sell serial numbers which work on Windows, or Mac. They make the rules. You won't find Adobe here defending or commenting on their policies.
Allowing two computers is more generous than some companies.
I've heard it said that, if you subscribe instead, because you don't get a serial number, you can have one Windows and one Mac.

If a metric has different code for different platform, or the metric only runs on some specific type of system, how can we apply it to a group of hosts?
For example, I have a metric that checks only Sun T3 types of systems. I can create a group of hosts that are T3 type system, but how do I apply the metric to this group?
The other example is the way to collect data is different for Soaris and Linux platform, can I have 2 metrics, one apply to the group of Solaris machines, and the other apply to the group of Linux machines?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use EM groups and monitoring templates to accomplish what you want to do. For example, create a group for Solaris hosts and a template to push out appropriate metric settings for the group.

LabVIEW Embedded - Performance Testing - Different Platforms

Hi all,
I've done some performance testing of LabVIEW on various microcontroller development boards (LabVIEW Embedded for ARM) as well as on a cRIO 9122 Real-time Controller (LabVIEW Real-time) and a Dell Optiplex 790 (LabVIEW desktop). You may find the results interesting. The full report is attached and the final page of the report is reproduced below.

Analysis
For microcontrollers, single loop programming can retain almost 100% of the processing power. Such programming would require that all I/O is non-blocking as well as use of interrupts. Multiple loop programming is not recommended, except for simple applications running at loop rates less than 200 Hz, since the vast majority of the processing power is taken by LabVIEW/OS overhead.
For cRIO, there is much more processing power available, however approximately 70 to 80% of it is lost to LabVIEW/OS overhead. The end result is that what can be achieved is limiting.
For the Desktop, we get the best of both worlds; extraordinary processing power and high efficiency.
Speculation on why LabVIEW Embedded for ARM and LabVIEW Real-time performance is so poor puts the blame on excessive context switch. Each context switch typically takes 150 to 200 machine cycles and these appear to be inserted for each loop iteration. This means that tight loops (fast with not much computation) consume enormous amounts of processing power. If this is the case, an option to force a context switch every Nth loop iteration would be useful.

LabVIEW Desktop has many attractive features. This explain why LabVIEW Desktop is so successful and is the vast majority of National Instruments’ software sales (and consequently results in the vast majority of hardware sales). It is National Instruments’ flagship product and is the precursor to the other LabVIEW offerings. The execution platform is powerful, available in various form factors from various sources and is competitively priced.
LabVIEW Real-time on a cRIO/sb-RIO is a lot less attractive. To make this platform attractive the execution platform cost needs to be vastly decreased while increasing the raw processing power. It would also be beneficial to examine why the LabVIEW/OS overhead is so high. A single plug-in board no larger than 75 x 50 mm (3” x 2”) with a single unit price under $180 would certainly make the sb-RIO a viable execution platform. The peripheral connectors would not be part of the board and would be accessible via a connector. A developer mother board could house the various connectors, but these are not needed when incorporated into the final product. The recently released Xilinx Zynq would be a great chip to use ($15 in volume, 2 x ARM Cortex A9 at 800 MHz (4,000 MIPS), FPGA fabric and lots more).
LabVIEW Embedded for ARM is very OEM friendly with development boards that are open source with circuit diagrams available. To make this platform attractive, new more capable Tier 1 boards will need to be introduced, mainly to counter the large LabVIEW/OS overhead. As before, these target boards would come from microcontroller manufacturers, thereby making them inexpensive and open source. It would also be beneficial to examine why the LabVIEW/OS overhead is so high. What is required now is another Tier 1 boards (eg. DK-LM3S9D96 (ARM Cortex M3 80 MHz/96 MIPS)). Further Tier 1 boards should be targeted every two years (eg. BeagleBoard-xM (ARM Cortex A8 1000 MHz/2000 MIPS board)) to keep LabVIEW Embedded for ARM relevant.

I've got to say though, it would really be good if NI could further develop the ARM embedded toolkit.
In the industry I'm in, and probably many others, control algorithm development and testing oocurs in labview. If you have a good LV developer or team, you'll end up with fairly solid, stable and tested code. But what happens now, once the concept is validated, is that all this is thrown away and the C programmers create the embedded code that will go into the real product.
The development cycle starts from scratch.
It would be amazing if you could strip down that code and deploy it onto ARM and expect it to not be too inefficient. Development costs and time to market go way down.. BUT, but especially in the industry I presently work in, the final product's COST is extremely important. (These being consumer products, chaper micro cheaper product) .
These concerns weight HEAVILY. I didn't get a warm fuzzy about the ARM toolkit for my application. I'm sure it's got its niches, but just imagine what could happen if some more work went into it to make it truly appealing to wider market...

Output from same script on two different platforms produce different outputs.

I'm running a command prompt script on two different platforms (Windows 7 desktop and a Microsoft Server 2008 R2 Enterprise platform) and the output the script produces is different on each platform.
Specifically; the script is
For /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (set mydate=%%c-%%a-%%b)
For /f "tokens=1-2 delims=/:" %%a in ('time /t') do (set mytime=%%a%%b)
echo %mydate%>> log.txt
echo %mytime%>> log.txt
and the output from the Windows 7 desktop is:
2014-07-31
0249 PM
While the output from the 2008 server is:
ECHO is on.
0249 PM

Hi Dave,
There's some very good learning resources here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx
Also, there's a script repository full of examples you can learn from and tweak to meet your needs here:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter
As an additional suggestion, I'd highly recommend upgrading PowerShell on Win7 and WS2008R2 to v4. v2 was okay, but v4 makes life much easier (make sure you read the system requirements first though, there's still a few incompatibilities):

Install SOA suite components on different cpu

If we buy one copy of the CPU license of SOA suite (list price 65,000/cpu), can we deploy its components on different CPUs? For example, can we run its Portal on one machine, its BEPL Process manager on the second machine, and BAM on a third machine. Is their a limitation on how many CPUs we can run the one SOA suite (CPU) license? Thanks in advance for your help.

Fabian,
Oracle's support for other applications servers such as JBoss, Websphere, WebLogic, etc is more a sales story than something that people do in practice. Oracle doesn't want to lose a sale because a customer has a strategic alliance with a particular application server. So they support SOA Suite on the main competitors. Licensing is a dark art and I couldn't give you a 100% guarantee on how SOA Suite is sold but to get SOA Suite you need to license enterprise Application Server. SOA Suite is on top of this. If you turn it around if you buy SOA suite you get Oracle Application Server enterprise edition (includes OC4J) for free.
So if you are looking at using JBoss for a cost cutting exercise I don't believe the licensing at Oracle will help you.
The install for SOA Suite is the install for ESM + WSM, there is no separate install for these products for thrid party application servers. So you topology is not as flexible as it could be is you used Oracle Application Server.
Your proposed option of SOA Suite (ESB, WSM) is an option using the document provided in previous post.
When I say Oracle Application Server I mean Oracles existing Application Server, Not Web Logic. There is currently a progression of porting the OC4J apps to Weg Logic, this should be completed when 11g arrives. There are a few version release before this happens, each one providing more functionality.
If I was you I would understand the price of SOA Suite on JBoss as apposed to Oracle Application Server. If the price comes close then I would go with using the Oracle Application Server. If you want to use the ESB, I would go with Aqua Logic installed on WLS. Currently SOA Suite is not certified on the 10.3 release hence keep it on the Oracle Application Server. There will be a migration path to 11g next year.
cheers

Data guard between different platforms?

I'm pretty sure the answer is no but just want to be sure, so my question is...Can you have a data guard physical standby server that is running on a different platform than the primary?
For instance, We have just been informed by our sakes rep that Oracle is dropping the Itanium platform because future releases of red hat will no longer be supporting the Itanium platform and that Oracle is following the red hat model...
Can we setup dataguard to migrate off of current hardware platform to a new X86_64 platform?
Thanks.

Thanks.This would follow the same rule that both, primary and standby must run on the same platform and o/s. So I guess, the answer would be that you would need to move both of your servers. But, just to be assure, you should raise the same question on the dedicated forum of dataguard where product manager of DG , Larry Carpenter hangs around as well. That would be the place where I would ask my data guard doubts.

Determine component height for different platform

Hi, all
It just came to me, how can I determine optimal component height for JLabel,JTextField while calling setPreferredSize on different platform? Different screen dpi,fonts,etc. Is there a guide line, so each component will be not too small?
Thanks,
Vincent Chen

But I need to call setPreferredSize to arrange screen display while using flow layout. Under some situation, flow layout is my only choice. Any solution?

DB Copy / to a different platform on 9i R2

Hi,
is it possible make a database copy(using unix cp) on 9i R2:
from platform: HP-UX pa-risc 64 bit // Big Endian
to AIX5L 64bit // Big Endian
or this is only possible using imp / exp utilities.
Thank you,
D.

or this is only possible using imp / exp utilities.It may be possible to copy the database through different platform without imp/exp.
Steps:
1. install oracle10g software in HP-UX
2. upgrade your original database to 10g
3. install oracle 10g software in AIX5L
4. use TTS to clone your databases in 10g version.
5. downgrade to 9iR2 if you want.

How to view site on different platforms

I am working on a site that I have nearly completed. I am
using Windows XP
and have tested it on the latest four major browsers. I do
not have access
to a Mac computer though or earlier additions of said
browsers. I am
interested in hearing how the page renders on different
platforms. Would
anyone here be interested in having a look at the sight, when
I am done, and
giving some feedback on how it renders on their screen etc?
Or would this be
frowned upon as outside the parameters of this forum? If so,
could anyone
direct me to a place where I might obtain this information?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Webdesigner
