Need to Turn it OFF the Notification used by the AIA Common Error Handler.

Hi All,
My requirement is to turn it off the Notifcation send by the AIA common Error Handler, when the error occurs in the AIA ecosystem.
Error Handling framework given by AIA does the Notification and Logging feature. In my case I need only the logging, but not the Notification. Notification has to be turned off for a time and has to be turned on when it is required.
1) I can acheive this by removeing the email account file (ie. ns_email.xml) from the server directory and can be replaced at the time when required,but this needs the restart of the Server.
Any Idea how to turn it off the notification and turn it on when required ?
Thanks,
Ashok.

Hi Rohit,
Thanks for your reply.
Is there any way to turn it off the Notification, because if we retire the ReadJMSNotification Service all the error message are stayed in the Topic and we have to manually drain the message from topic.
And one more thing is how the error messages are published to that AIA.AIA_Error_Topic.
Thanks,
Ashok.

Send JMS message from Oracle to Weblogic topic.. How?

Hi,
I need to send messages from within Oracle Database to a topic in Weblogic. I understand that I can create a trigger that executes
a Java Stored Procedure. This trigger can be invoked upon row
addition/update or delete .
The java stored procedure itself can be be a client program that does a jndi lookup, has code to communicate with the topic on a remote Weblogic server. I can write and test this program independently using Oracle supplied jar files (jndi.jar, jar files that have jms api's etc.) then load it into the database and it should work.
Am I missing something. Is there any complication with jndi lookup, initial context, etc. The Oracle 9i and Weblogic reside on different servers.
Has anyone done this? Is there a better way of sending messages?
Should I bother with messaging gateways?
Thank You for your reply.
Samir Sahu

It should be quite straightforward to do this. As stated you need weblogic.jar in your classpath, then use 100% standard JMS calls to publish.
Ensure that you set the following properties before getting your initial context:
java.naming.factory.initial=weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=t3://node:7001 (or whatever)
this will ensure that the correct JMS implementation classes are invoked.
You can't easily (without some mucking around) build a test implementation in an AQ environment and then deploy to WebLogic because in AQ you don't tend to use JNDI lookups (unless you've implemented oracle JNDI etc) but rather use non standard factory class to create connections etc.

Slightly off topic: JDev + 10g + recommended laptop

Hi gang
This is a slightly off-topic post in the forum. Apologies to the forum moderators up front.
I'm in the process of purchasing a new laptop for development. Among other things I need to run Oracle 10g, + JDev + Solitaire.
My assumption for such a laptop is I'll need a fast hd (7200rpm+) for builds, and lots of memory to run Oracle 10g and memory hogging Java JDev. Also extra screen real-estate would be ideal with the multi-pane JDev.
However without the ability to walk into a laptop supplier, load up the software and do some tests, I'm not sure what would be sufficient. I don't want to go overboard on features in order to save $s, but I don't want something that wont run fast enough without bugging the Hell out of me either.
Does anybody have any recommendations on what laptop they are currently running or what they would buy to run Oracle 10g + JDev? Are my assumptions correct or does anybody run this config with less, happily?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
CM.

I have been doing all of my jdev + oracle development exclusively on my PowerBook G4 for over a year now. JDev 9.0.5.2 runs great, and so does the new 10.1.3 preview. I have upgraded the memory on it to 1.5 GB, but even with the stock 512 it ran well. Plus, there are all of the productivity benefits from running Mac OS X. I was skeptical about it at first, as you might be, but once I switched over, I haven't even looked back. The 17 inch screen is beautiful, it works just fine on the Windows network at work, has all of the Unix tools underneath, and for the very few times a windows machine is needed, Virtual PC helps out. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Thanx for ur answer to me - however dear i do not need password or hacking type stuff - actually i just wanna IDs as string into my vector class. look u can by clicking to any ID (yahoo messenger online IDs) can send message or so and can use just for messaging them - my intension is just like that - not to access her password or to use her id for any other thing - i just to message them. but first i had to take his/her id as string into a vector. then later send them message. Is this illegal or so.

Bulk screen caps

Wondering if anyone could help me out here. I have a 30 minute sequence, and I want to grab a ton of still screen caps to use as jpgs of the clip. Is there a way to do a kind of batch job where i specify to grab one frame every 5 seconds or every so many frames and turn them into jpgs?
I am using version 5 if that info is needed.

There is no tool to automate this withing FCP. You'll want to export using Quicktime conversion > Still Image. This topic of exporting many still has been discussed many times so a search will probably yield answers.

Slightly off topic: Read-only tables pre 11g

Hi gang
I'm just writing up a database quiz for a local user group and I was hoping I could get a bit of inspiration from the database experts.
One of the questions will be "prior to 11g with the introduction of read-only tables, how could you make a table read-only?". The answers I've come up with:
1) Security priviliges (schema + grant SELECT)
2) Triggers
3) Create a check constraint with disable validate
4) Read-only tablespace
5) Read-only database (standby)
6) (Slightly crazy) Create view, and instead-of triggers that do nothing (similar to 2)
7) Write the query results on a piece of paper and then turn the database off
Anybody have any other answers, real or slightly off topic like mine please? ;)
Cheers,
CM.

Check constraint and trigger solutions may have problems with sqlldr direct path operations, so using it together with alter table disable lock may be mandatory depending on the needs. Especially if DDLs are also wanted to be avoided.
This topic was once mentioned on Tom Kyte's blog or asktom but I couldn't find the source to link here.

Off topic: General comment

All,
I know this is totally off-topic but this is the best way to send a very important message.
One of those days, someone called to us to offer Solaris support services, because that person was reading this forum and saw our entries. I guess, if we are here asking for help, and helping others, the idea is to use the community to achieve better results.
I understand that every business needs to make money, but there are some limits as well. If we had any interest to hire a consulant and pay for him/her services, we would not be here making posts.
Also, what is much more important, is to share information and knowledge about a product, Solaris, which is open source now.
So, if there are any other business digger here, please do not contact us in anyway, unless we ask for that contact. Right now, that person and his company are on my personal "avoid contact at any cost" list.
Cheers

Printers are the Demon Seed, the work of Beelzebub. While my Epson R340 will of course print for weeks on end just fine, if I suddenly need to print something urgently, it is 100% guaranteed to print it in purple. Or, the heads will need cleaning, resulting in two hours of listening to "neeeeeeeeh neh-neh-neh-neh-neh neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh neh neh neh'. Or, the DVD's doesn't get drawn into the printer properly, the resulting label is half off the disc, and it's just made a nice coaster.
I broke my last Epson while leaping up and down upon it in an apoplectic rage in such circumstances. Really.
But it seems you are right, we have no option. Finally, Print Shop by Broderbund is probably like a high-tech wunderkind chrome robot when compared to the Official Worst Appplication of All Time, Epson Print CD, which closely resembles a turd.

Request to have off-topic posts moved

There are a number of posts accumulated in the Server and Storage Systems group of forums that are just not on-topic for them.

Off topic question in DOS Batch files ...

Hi,
I am sorry in advance, for posting an off-topic question. But I had no other known way.
I need to invoke 8 sessions of a java program on 8 different windows. I use Windows platform. I want to write a batch file that will cause the java program to be invoked on a separate window, so that I can watch the execution of 8 sessions at a time. How can I do this (specifically, how can I open a new window in batch files in DOS)?
Thanks in advance,
K
My java program invocation is like this:
C:\>java Site i
where i is a command line argument that will go from 0 to 7.

Batch files (to my limited knowledge) are just "macros" that procedurally run DOS commands. It's just like opening a new command window and sitting there typing a list of commands, except the computer does it for you. So, for example, to run the commands java HelloWorld and cls, the java program would first have to execute before the screen can be cleared. For your purposes, you may need a small launcher app.

Off topic - job market

Hello
Sorry for the off topic, after all this is a technical forum...
I have been working with Apex for quite a while now and I find it a great tool. I enjoy working with it and I consider myself quite good at it.
However I have concerns about my employability... Its job market seems to be almost non-existent where I live (UK). Even so, Apex seems to be now a mature product, with a growing user base, the Apex forum is one of the Oracle's most popular forums and the IT job market seems to be good here at the moment. Usually all those factors mean a buoyant job market, but it does not seem to be the case with Apex.
I have other skills, and there are quite a few vacancies asking for them. I will not starve but it seems to me that if I want to change job I will have to stop working with Apex, which would be unfortunate for me (and for the community also ;-)
Why is it so? Has anyone got the same impression? Is the Apex job market better in mainland Europe? Any insights welcome...
Thanks
Edith

I think there is not a strong demand because it has replaced small development projects , these are usually in house or done by existing IT outsourcing companies
Even though more large developments are being done , it remains a product geared at Access style development , which also has very little job market

How to turn off those preexisting tables, SPs, etc. in Oracle XE?

How to turn off those preexisting tables, SPs, etc. in Oracle XE based on

One solution is to take a screen shot of the photo. That should make it last in line.
Another solution. Make a new album. Transfer the photos to the new album. Then change the photo order, by tapping select, hold your finger on the photo, move it, tap done.

Extracting LONG RAW's (Off Topic)

Hi all,
Do you know of any function/SQL to extract a LONG RAW to a file
from the Oracle Server 8.0.5 Linux?
I.e. I've got records with an ID and a LONG RAW containing binary
data. I want to export the binary data to a file on then
server with the same name as the record ID.
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic but no one else seems to
know if it's even possible ...
TIA, Ben.

Web Portfolio Software Advice (off topic)

hi all.
i have been really happy with my ability to organize a very large amount of images in Aperture and to publish them easily to Flickr (among other things).
this has now freed me up to focus on creating a new website for an old website that needs updating. right now i have just created a /link/ for the pictures on the webpages which takes the viewer to the flickr albums.
i am looking at "themes" such as the WordPress Photography theme (http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/photography/) and i am also looking at sites that are using the "autoviewer" or "autoviewer pro" software.
http://www.iloveconcrete.net/drive1/drive1.html
http://www.simpleviewer.net/autoviewer/
anyway, i am familiar with using wordpress UI but i am desperately trying to find a method where i don't have to use the wordpress image uploader. i guess the holy grail would be to just "publish" album "code" out of Aperture that i would then embed into a WP theme website which i am sure i could create in a week or something.
anyway, does anyone know of anywhere i can ask such questions or get some leads on keeping this workflow simple but create a nice website at the same time?
TIA and apologies for the off-topic post.

I liked "Waves" and thought most of the sounds were good- the piano was very realistic to my casual listen. I did however find the backing strings of the first couple of minutes to be fairly "synth" sounding, maybe that's what you wanted, but to me it could have sounded more like an actual string ensemble. Later on it seemed to be working more to my liking with the strings playing individually.
It's not the most expensive thing out there, but I have been using IK Multimedia's Philharmonik, which is not good for a lot of things, but it does really capture a real "woody" and "dry" sound on the cellos, violas, etc.
I also tend to agree that MySpace could be a good addition for you. And I notice that your vox on the podcast was only coming at me from the left.
Keep it up! It's a lot of fun to do- I'll send you a thing I wrote with Philharmonik and Sibelius 5, it's sort of just me learning those and not really finished, still, you'll get an idea of what Philharmonik sounds like.

InDesign Settings When Placing Image Screen Cap from SnagIt

I've already tried obtaining assistance from the SnagIt people, but they feel it's an InDesign setting I'm missing, which is likely since my skill with InDesign is very beginner level. Thank you kindly for any assistance.
I produce training materials for software and need to take screen captures that will then be inserted into InDesign. I do the production myself and then give to a printer.
I cannot, for the life of me, get the images to look half decent in InDesign. I save at 96 dpi, 300 dpi, tif RGB, tif CMYK, PNG etc. and to be honest, the captures look worse once they hit InDesign than if I took a basic windows screen cap.
The screen caps should be presented at a reasonable, readable size in InDesign as they are for instruction purposes. Professionally printed computer manuals is the quality I'm looking for.
SPECS:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Series Processor (2400 MHz) -- THIS IS A QUAD CORE
Memory: 4095 MB
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit (Build 7600) -- ULTIMATE VERSION
Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Graphics Card: GeForce 8800 GTX/PCI/SSE2 -- 2 SLI'd
Windows Graphics Driver Version: 8.17.0011.9562
I know I'm doing something wrong. The saved images look fine on my screen (I use ACDSee to view). But the moment I put them in InDesign, they look horrid (blurry, jaggy).
If you can't help me, do you know of someone who can?
I tried on the SnagIt forums, and no helpful responses.
Thank you kindly.
Sincerely,
Alexandria

You don’t say what’s wrong with the screen captures, but since you list several different resolutions I can guess. You are resampling and Photoshop is trying to produce smooth results, assuming the image is a photograph and that aliased (pixelated) details are undesirable.
Screen captures look best when they are not resampled. Save them in a lossless format like PNG or TIF and place them unmodified. If you edit them and add any layers or text (Layers panel shows anything but a single Background layer), then save as PSD or Photoshop PDF. Some print shops might either flag those low-res files as problems, or try to “help” you by upsampling them. You can avoid these issues by resampling in Photoshop using Nearest Neighbor interpolation. Use full 100% increments, ie: not from 72 ppi to 300 ppi (416.67%) but 72 to 288 ppi (400%).
Other tricks to explore are changing the antialiasing method of your display. Sub-pixel antialiasing is often used for LCD displays, but when enlarged and printed (look at the noise around “Font Family”) can be ugly. On a Mac you can turn this off in the Appearance Preference Pane.
Black can be a nuisance with screen captures. Your screen captures are probably saved in RGB. When they are printed the RGB values are converted to CMYK by the print shop. Normally, this is not something to be concerned with. But Black in RGB (0,0,0) is usually treated as a rich black or photographic black, and is converted to a colour with lots of each CMYK ink in it. For the fine type, dialogues, and lines of a screen grab, that is undesireable.
I have my own way of dealing with this, and I know others who have similar, but not identical, workflows. All require Photoshop. If you want further help with this, please ask either here or in the Photoshop forum.
