OWB 10.2 - Pluggable Mappings Implementation: Black-Box, White-Box, ...
Hi,
We recently migrated from OWB 10.1 to version 10.2, and for the moment I'm investigating the new feature 'Pluggable Mappings'.
When looking at the OWB documentation I can find 3 different data transformation logics: black-box, white-box and system-managed.
But when going to the OWB 10.2 design client I can't find anywhere this property on the pluggable mappings?
Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Bart
I haven't seen that in the OWB manual but perhaps it just refers to how you can treat a pluggable mapping.
As a pluggable mapping is in effect a reusable component it can be tested independently.
Black box testing usually refers to testing with no knowledge of the inner workings of the component i.e. you test by passing specific inputs and ensuring you get desired outputs, what the component did in the middle is irrelevant to your test.
White box testing means that you test every path through the component so it requires a detailed understanding of the inner workings.
Not sure about system managed, perhaps that just means a system test where you test the whole application.
Pluggable mappings are useful to split large or complex mappings into smaller more manageable parts or to create a reusable component that you include in several mappings but only need to build/test once.

PS. prior to 10.2.0.3 I encountered many bugs with pluggable mappings.

Black (or White) Box appearing on photos sometimes when zooming in and out.
I just recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CC and something really odd is happening: On some zoom levels I have this empy black or white box appearing. When I zoom in or out it disappears, or reappears.
However, when I save the file as a JPEG, or bring it into Google Nik it is OK. It's almost like there is a software bug, or a bad memory spot in my video card. Any suggestions?Google updated the plugins recently to correct this problem:
https://support.google.com/nikcollection/answer/4400822?hl=en&ref_topic=3001406
Version 1.109 (December 11/2013) is the latest:
Fixed black or white tile artifacts that might have occurred after returning to Photoshop from plug-ins
You can find out the version you have installed by launching Photoshop:

Hello!
I need Apple (!!!) headphones for Ipod Shuffle 3! (only apple earphones with remote and mic!!!)
Tell me, what distinguishes the model are presented in black and white boxes? They may differ in features? Can one model is more modern than the other?
Thanks in advance!Hi Fencer1986,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your request. If you have questions about headphone compatibility for your iPod shuffle 3rd Gen, you may find the following article helpful:

Black and white boxes in safari
Does anyone get black and White boxes in safari when they are browsing web pages thanks
That's normal - it's the "blank area"/"placeholder" that's shown while that portion of the page is loading. That 'gray and white checkerboard' is the same thing that many graphics programs (e.g. Photoshop) use to represent a transparent/blank area.

Aperture 3 Slideshow keeps defaulting to Black and White?
It seems every time I am moving photos around in the bottom panel of the slideshow all of the photos go black and white. I am holding command key, selecting multiple photos and moving them with track pad. I end up selecting all photos unchecking the black and white box and it seems OK until the next time I move a photo. Anyone seen this one yet?
No, it sounds like a software problem.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
If these don't work try using Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings -
Pluggable mappings - how to get them to work (OWB 10gR2)
Hi,
I'm trying to create some pluggable mappings that I can share between a dimension and fact load. For example, I want to take my incoming data and do some set of operations on it (nothing too complex, all just a basic "expression" operator). I need to exactly duplicate this code between a dimension mapping (to generate dimension values), and a cube load (so OWB can look up the proper surrogate keys).
Therefore, to make sure the logic stays 100% the same between the dim and fact loads, I'd like to use pluggable mappings. Then if I change the logic for the pluggable mapping, it automatically updates both the dim and fact load (and makes the logic 100% accurate between the dim and fact load ETL jobs)
The problem I'm running in to is this: everything works 100% ok in the dimension load, where basically the pluggable mapping feeds directly into a single target operator, and that target operator has no other inputs.
However, in the fact load, I can't get pluggable mappings to work (at all). The only difference is that, in the fact load, I have data from both the pluggable mapping AND from other sources going into a single operator (AGGREGATOR in my case). Those "other sources" are all the other dimensions that don't have pluggable mappings, plus the numeric fact columns.
When I try to connect the pluggable mapping to the AGGREGATORI get the following error message:
"API8003: Connection target attribute group is already connected to an incompatible data source. Use a Joiner or Set operator to join the upstream data first before connecting it to this operator"
I'm not sure how to resolve this. A "joiner" won't help - if I have 10 dimensions coming in to an aggregator, and I'm processing 50 million rows, I sure can't try to add suitable join fields to each dimension and then try to join ten 50 million row sets. And a Set operator doesn't help at all either.
Any way for me to get around this?
Thanks,
ScottHi everyone,
I have attempted to use pluggable mappings because i have a source system with 30 similar tables that need similar transformations (and extraction operations) performed on them. At the moment there is only a business need in our DW environment for 3 of them, and I have created 3 mappings using a common (nested) pluggable mapping. I have found the functionality "flaky". My two specific concerns are that the design centre sometimes doesnt update the mapping that uses the pluggable mapping (the code generated doesnt include the newly updated PM code). Concern 2 is that sometimes I cant even add PM's to the design canvas. I haven't rigorously attempted to solve these problems yet (because they arent a priority yet) but I AM going to watch this thread with interest.

New Black BT Vision box - what is missing, a discu...
Maybe it's just me but here is a list of things which are currently missing or wrong with the new BT Vision box (black edition with new interface and OS). Thought it might be useful to keep a list of these going which people can add to.
would also appreciate it if anyone can help with any of these issues in case i've missed something
Red button doesn't work - believe this is 'coming soon'. you can still access the channels by going to 301 or 302
Teletext doesn't work - the button pops up a message saying it's not available, coming soon?
There is no way to set recordings to over run? - this used to be very handy on old box, particularly with live shows. is this being brought back?
No signal strength tester - you used to be able to check digital signal reception strength and quality from the settings menu, not any more
Pressing 'play' when viewing a recording doesn't flash up the progress bar - any other good way to do this, used to be handy. Fix: pressing "select" does the trick
no HD Freeview - the box isn't capable, wondering whether they might upgrade us to YouView later on for this?
No options to set resolution - used to be able to define 720p or 1080i for instance, not any more
Sky Sports small white box - a small logo in the bottom right area, not sure what this is or why it's now there?
Subtitles on iPlayer missing
Some reported picture quality issues - both on SCART and HDMI
On the plus side:
Bigger capacity on the hard disc
Faster inteface and movement between sections
Nice new design and sharp interface resolution
Channel logos / graphics now in the information bar menu
When in the TV Guide there's still a small box showing you what you are watching on the current channel
Music playlist
Bookmarks
Reinstatement of the 30s jump and better fast-forward / rewind (30s jump doesn't work on Sky Sports)
Ability to jump to specific point in recordings (you need to start it first, then stop and go back into it to have option)
Ability to reenter a recording at a time offset
Icon to show which recordings have been watched
HD iPlayer
Recently viewed in iPlayer
Ability to resume a programme on iPlayer
Ability to resume on demand
Disk usage on Recordings page
Auto switching format for HDMI and SCARTOne-press toggling of Subtitles and Audio
Previous channel facility
'Play all' feature for On Demand series
anything else people want to add?Subtitles on iPlayer

Display Error - weird black/blue flickering boxes on display
I have recently started experiencing a very strange error with my iMac G5 display. I notice it most when using Expose. As the screens zoom in and out, several black or blue boxes can be seen flickering in the background. Each box is square and approximately 2 inches x 2 inches.
Also, if I scroll my mouse across the icons in my dock, suddenly a large, very zoomed in version of my dock is superimposed over the actual dock. Sometimes random black boxes appear behind an icon in the dock too.
If I activate expose, the boxes or zoomed in dock disappear. Also if I scroll up and down a page, the boxes vanish but can sometimes reappear later.
It started a few days ago, but then went completely by itself. It's just started up again tonight. I haven't changed anything on my computer or downloaded anything that might have caused this issue.
I'm not sure if it's a hardware thing or something wrong with my settings. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.I have already checked those and neither are activated.
Also, if there is an animated gif, or something that moves, the entire display is filled with a horizontal line that's the same colour and height as the gif. If I refresh the screen or activate expose, it vanishes, but then comes back pretty soon after,
It's funny because I've had it on most of today (after being shut down all night) and it's been fine. It's just started again this evening. Makes me think something could be overheating perhaps.
Thanks for trying to help anyway. -
Lost HD & Sport channels on black BT Vision box
Hi, I was advised to do a factory re-set on my black BT Vision box because it was performing so poorly but since doing so I can no longer get my HD or sport channels (BT Sport 1 & 2, Sky Sports 1,2 & 5) back.
Prior to doing the reset I only had the HD & sport channels as I had such a poor aerial in the roof. Doing the factory re-set meant I had to have a functioning aerial to re-scan for all the channels so I fixed the aerial & whilst it means I can now get all the freeview channels I can't now get any of the HD or sport channels back that I pay for!
BT initially thought it was an issue at the exhange but having gone through several re-sets, re-scans, re-registers & re-boots they've finally agreed to get an engineer out.
In another two weeks time!
Anyone got any suggestions as to what might be causing this & therefore how I might be able to fix without waiting for the engineer visit?
thanksEither the entitlements are missing or you are on the wrong version of the software. This can sometimes happen initially after a reset.
What does it say for Help & Settings > Settings > System Information > BT TV Release ?
If it ends in C (such as 8.7.1C) then you are on the version for using a viewing card.
If it ends in E (such as 8.7.1E) then you are on the version for multicast channels over broadband which is what you need.
If on the C version then try the following.
Help & Settings > Settings > System Information > Reset Registration
Help & Settings > Settings > System Information > Check for Upgrade
In my experience that usually encourages it to download and install the correct E version again. -
New Look Black BT Vision Box - Failure to record a...
I had my original Silver BT Vision box replaced due to catastrophic failure. I was given the new black BT Vision box as a replacement. Not only does it fail to record programmes as outlined in the posting by StuartH, but it has a habit of re-booting itself.
When setting up recordings on my original box; of there was a recording conflict, I was able to immediatly resolve the problems by being able to see immediatly which programmes I could choose to record. This is not the case with the new box. When trying to set up recordings for the following week on the new box and a conflict occurs where there are more than two programmes selected I get a red banner across the bottom of the screen telling me that "you can only record two programmes at the same time (VRC001)", without being able to easily find out via the box search system which programmes are in conflict.
I cannot find any reference to this error code anywhere or fault message anywhere on the internet.
Has anyone else had this problem?Hi Expert_Tech,
Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear of the problem you are having with your BT Vision service. I would like to look into this for you. I will need your details to do this.
Please drop me an email via the 'Contact Us' link in my profile. (click on my name and you will find the link under the "about me" section). Include your BT account details and the link to this thread.

Why do you think it is connected to the Messages App ?
Realistically I would suggest the box is to do with anything but the Messages app.

Black and gray box keeps popping up on my monitor and I cant get it to stay off
Black and gray box pops up on my monitor. Cant move my mouse over it. Cant remove it. It just recently started doing this. I know it has to do with the settings on my monitor, but im not sure how to set it. When I tried, it would go off for a few minutes and then pop right back up. I want to try to set it so that it wont keep appearing. I would aappreciate any suggestions, as im not good at figuring out this sort of thing. Thanks, Mary
My monitor is a wide screen HPw2338hCould you perhaps describe this "black and gray box" better? Does it have any text?

Firefox loaded on laptop along with another computer on home comutor - on mine when firefox is selected it loads with black lines and boxes along with all titles it will allow me to use the programme. When I load the same programme on second computer it loads correctly.
This has only occurred this week.
does the resolution setting affect this?Again, my original post specifically asks what else I can check for in prefs.js. I don't know what to look for. I suspect that something has hung-around somewhere, but don't know what to look for in the prefs file to detect it. No malware or anti-virus software detects anything other than the prefs.js file itself. Safe mode fixes the problem. So obviously something is starting up with FF in normal mode which is causing this, but no clue where/what to look for at this point.
