Patch & Non Standard block

Hello everybody,
1) When might one choose non-standard block sizes?
2) Why do we need to apply patch? Just to fix bugs?
Thanks in advance

1) When might one choose non-standard block sizes? Assuming that you mean "why might I create a tablespace that uses a block size that is different than the block size of the database," the reason Oracle built that functionality was to facilitate transporting a tablespace from one database to another when they used different block sizes. That's generally the only reason this makes sense. There are a handful of cases where there might be a valid reason that it might benefit performance but it that is quite rare and changing the block size is even less frequently the best way to solve the performance problem.

Version 8 blocks http on non standard ports i.e. 8080

Version 7 handled http on both port 8080,8081 and 8082 but only text is passed after version 8 update. Is there a way to re-enable http on non standard ports? If you save the text file to the desktop and load it from there the html is processed correctly? Is there a directive besides "html" that could be place on the web pages to force html rendering on the odd ports. Version 8 works with port 4135 from Jefferson labs speed test.

Isakmp peers using non-standard port 4500

Hello,
I have a remote site using the Internet to access corporate networks over IPSEC. Set-up is as below:
Remote Router uses public IP across internet --> hits corporate untrusted nework FW --> NAT'ed to private 10.x.x.x IP --> reaches trusted network router.
The problem is that the peer keeps hanging and the only way to reset it is to issue 'clear crypto session' on the central trusted router. I have added isakmp keepalives with the aim of forcing some keepalive traffic:
crypto isakmp keepalive 90 30 periodic
...and this works to some degree (with DPD are u there keepalives). However I have noticed that the far end router uses non-standard ports when trying to set up phase-1 tunnel:
BEVRLY_D_CR184_01#sh crypto isa pee
Peer: 161.x.x.x Port: 4500 Local: 77.x.x.x

Peer: 161.x.x.x Port: 10600 Local: 77.x.x.x
Phase1 id: 10.2.0.92
These ports (non-4500) will be blocked by our firewalls. Why does it use these, and is there a way of stopping the router using anything other than port 4500?
Thanks
Phil

I believe the DPD keepalives ensure NAT is known and compatible (crypto isakmp keepalive 90 30 periodic) between the peers....

Mailserver using non-standard smtp port

how do i set SMTP to accept connections on a non-standard port (i.e. 2525 or something)?
i'm running a mail server and my residential isp (comcast) after ten years of peaceful coexistence decided that they need to block port 25. so i am setting up a commercial store/forward mail relay service. all i need to do is set up my snow leopard server to accept incoming connections on a port other than 25. sounds easy. it is mentioned in the docs thusly:
"By default SMTP is enabled on port 25. If port 25 is blocked in your environment,
you need to change the port SMTP uses."
... but that's all i can find. specifically, it doesn't say exactly how to change the port.
any help appreciated.

following up to my own post. hoping this info may be useful for others who face the same issue who are running a server and then having email ports blocked by their ISP's.
i worked around this by signing up for a mail relay service (i use the one provided by dnydns.com). they forward incoming mail for my domain over a nonstandard port.
since i never received an answer to my question about how to make SnowLeopardServer email server accept SMTP connections on other ports, i simply used port mapping in my router (Airport Extreme) to redirect this port (i used 2525) on my WAN address to port 25 on my server - an acceptable workaround.
i also did the same port redirection for the other "standard alternative" smtp ports, 465 and 587.
since my ISP blocks port 25 in both directions, i also needed to find a work-around for outgoing mail as well. previously, my mail server simply forwarded to my ISP's smtp server (using the default port 25). here the Server Admin interface worked but with one "trick": under Mail>Settings>General, i left the box for "Relay outgoing mail through host:" checked, and in the field there i put "[smtp.myispdomain.net]:587" (that is with square brackets, and a colon, but no double-quotes - and of course, use your own smtp server's domain name). afaik this is not documented anywhere in the apple-provided docs, but i found the corresponding docs for postfix, and reverse-engineered it.
so now i can read (via IMAP) and send (via SMTP) mail from my home server, both when i am on my LAN and when i am accessing remotely, and effectively work around the bi-directional block of port 25 imposed by my ISP.
i'd still like to know if there is a method of configuring smtp to accept connections on ports other than 25. i can see how to do it by editing /etc/postfix/master.cf, but afaik that file gets overwritten by Server Admin...

Enter_query for non-database block

Hi there,
I have a non-database block. When I click on enter query button from toolbar, i get"this function cannot be performed here' error. I want to bring up records based on certain math calculations. I was planning to write a pre-query trigger and add those to pre-query trigger. Will it work since it is a non-database block? Or should i create a button on form to get records populated?
Thanks

You won't be able to use the Query-Process-triggers PRE-QUERY and POST-QUERY on a non-database-block.
But... If you want to "simulate" the behaviour of querying, you can use the KEY-EXEQRY-trigger and put your logic there. This should also work with the standard forms-menus. To supress the error-message on entering query-mode you should additionally write as KEY-ENTQRY-trigger with code NULL;

JRE ignores proxy setting for connections to non-standard web ports

Hi,
I've noticed that JRE would not use the proxy settings if the application tries to connect to a web address on a non standard http port. If port 80, 443, 8080 etc is used, the proxy is used but if it's something like 32938 it's not. Is there anyway to disable this behaviour and just have the proxy used for all HTTP traffic, regardless of destination port. Below a trace snippet that shows the behaviour.

Enhanced security via non-standard ssh port?

I am using my Snow basestation as a NAT router, and I have a pass-through to my machine for ssh. This is working fine now. However, I got to thinking that there is value in changing the ssh public port to a non-standard port, like 14038 and routing that to my mac's private port of 22. Doing so, however, merely breaks my ability to log in (note that I have updated my ssh client to point to the new ssh port of 14038)
Does ssh burp on any port other than 22? Do others have a positive experience running this? Might my ISP (earthlink) be blocking non-standard IP ports?
With much gratitude,
Kyle

I sold the Snow basestation -- so the question is moot now.

Alert emails to a non standard SMTP port

Is it possible to configure LiveCycle ES 8.2 to send its alert emails to an SMTP server on a non standard port? In the AdminUI there is a field for the server but not for the port.
Thanks,

Hi Jon
Sorry, I thought we were talking about Task Notifications not Administrator Notifications.
Changing the port in the Email Notifications process will work for Task Notifications.
Administrator Notifications use the Java mail default, which is port 25 unless otherwise specified on your system.
Are you using the JBoss Turnkey?
if so, you can try this:
1. Navigate to C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8.2\jboss\server\all\deploy
2. Locate the properties-service.xml file.
3. uncomment the following block and set the property as follows:
    
    <attribute name="Properties">
          smtp.mail.port =<your port #>
    </attribute>
4. You don't need to restart JBoss.
The only downside is that this is now the smtp port for that server and any other apps on that server.
If you can live with that, it's an easy workaround.

How To Configure non-standard SMTP port

My ISP has blocked port 25. I have a service that will deliver mail to the port of my choosing. How do I configure Leopard Server to listen on a non-standard SMTP port? 2525 for example.
Also, I assume all I have to do on my Airport Express is set up NAT to rake external port 2525 and point it to the private address of my email server on port 2525. Is this correct?
Thanks,
-ernie

Assuming such is offered, look to acquire a business-class ISP service level, and move on to the next issue? The business-class services typically provide static IP address(es), opens up server ports, and sets up DNS and ISP-side server connections for your hosts. And you can call your ISP or other assistance when your network craters; non-standard connections are (as you've found) harder to support.
One subtlety here: in a number of cases, simply having a business-class service means you're supported by a different group within (larger) ISPs. This can be a significant advantage at times, given that the scripts and tools and such that are available for the business group will be rather more targeted than the scripts that are available for the residential services group at the ISP.
There are a number of folks that have sought and have tried this (try a few Google searches for SMTP and non-standard port), and it mostly works. But it is fragile, and tends to be derailed when something goes weird, or when the ISP spots and shapes or blocks the server traffic.
Also check your ISP's terms of service here, lest your network pipe be subject to summary disconnection.
The other option is to VPN or tunnel into to a co-lo or dedicated server or a virtual hosting service; to run your servers or virtual servers somewhere without firewalls blocking the standard ports.

HOW TO CREATE MULTIPLE RECORDS IN A NONE DATABASE BLOCK?

I have a Form where I have a none database block with unbound items. The block
has 10 records. In the when-new-block instance I run a query by which I would
like to fill up the block with data. The code fragment looks like the
following:
begin
declare
tmp_curr_rec_id number;
begin
-- a hibak kiolvasasa
for c_hibak in ( select h.*, h.rowid
from hibak h
where 1=1 -- WF - Ide kerul a szurofeltetel
order by bejelentes_datum asc
) loop
-- bemasoljuk az adatokat az unbound item-ekbe
:mc_adat.ub_azonosito := c_hibak.azonosito;
:mc_adat.ub_verzio_letrehozas_datum :=
c_hibak.verzio_letrehozas_datum;
:mc_adat.ub_bejelento := c_hibak.bejelento;
:mc_adat.ub_bejelentes_datum := c_hibak.bejelentes_datum;
:mc_adat.ub_wf_verzio_csomopont :=
c_hibak.wf_verzio_csomopont;
:mc_adat.ub_wf_utolso_esemeny_szoveg :=
c_hibak.wf_utolso_esemeny_szoveg;
:mc_adat.ub_hiba_leiras := c_hibak.hiba_leiras;
:mc_adat.ub_hiba_hely := c_hibak.hiba_hely;
:mc_adat.ub_rekord_jelleg := 'H';
:mc_adat.ub_rowid := c_hibak.rowid;
-- beallitjuk a rekordot-ot olyanra, mintha semmi nem valtozott
volna
-- nem szeretnenk a form bezaraskor mindenfele figyelmezteteseket
-- olvasni a kepernyon
tmp_curr_rec_id := get_block_property( :system.current_block,
current_record );
set_record_property( tmp_curr_rec_id, :system.current_block,
status, new_status );
create_record;
end loop;
end;
end;
The block's update allowed, insert allowed, delete allowed property is set to
true.
The result of the code above is that only the last record fetched shows up in
the block. The problem is - as I found out - is that aech record is fetched,
the values are copied to the block items, but the create_record built-in
command would not move the cursor to the next row.
Can some one please help me with this?
TIA,
Tamas Szecsy

The problem was with the following code segment:
tmp_curr_rec_id := get_block_property( :system.current_block, current_record );
set_record_property( tmp_curr_rec_id, :system.current_block, status, new_status );
After omitting these two lines, the code worked properly.
Thansk for all whoe replied.

How To: Use FCPX to create iPhone Portrait Movies (and other non-standard formats)

Goal: Use Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 to produce a 640x1136 video (iPhone 5 Portrait). You can use these same steps to produce virtually any dimensions you want. My example is for the iPhone 5, in Portrait mode.
This information is available in various places, but you have to realy work to find it, so I thought I'd post a step-by-step guide here.
By the way, you might think you could just create a FCPX Project with your desired dimensions, but you can't (at least with 10.0.7). Projects only support certainly dimensions. But there are other ways, as the rest of this post describes:
1) Create an initial movie with the desired dimensions, to serve as a template. We'll call it "Template.mov". The only thing that matters is the dimensions. It can be in any codec FCPX understands, and virtually any length.
I'm using a 2 second video shot on my iPhone for the template. You could also create a blank image (.png, whatever) with the proper dimensions, copy and paste it into a new Quick Time Pro 7 window, and Export it using custom settings. There's lots of different ways to do this.
2) Drop Template.mov into a FCPX event.
3) Select Template.mov in the Event browser, and select File->Duplicate (or command-D). You probably could just edit "Template.mov", but it's a good idea to save it for reuse.
3) Change the name of the copied video. I'm using "iPhone Video".
4) Right-click "iPhone Video" and select "Open in Timeline".
5) If you made the Template video from a still image, you may need to change the duration (ctrl+D). You don't have to make it very long, but it needs to be longer than 1 frame. A few seconds should be enough.
6) Use this timeline like you'd use a project's timeline. Drop in new content, trim, transition, etc. There may be things you can't do in it, but I haven't found any yet. I'm guessing Chapters may not work, but I haven't tried them.
7) Note that when you drop new content into the timeline, it may size funny. That's because the default setting for "Spacial Conform" is "Fit". Simply select the newly-dropped content, and in the Video settings inspector, scroll down to "Spacial Conform" and change it. You could use "Fill", which fills the frame vertically, or "None", which uses the source's original height. Then crop/transform/whatever to get what you want.
8) When you're ready to render, select "iPhone Video" in the Event browser, then use the "Share" button. You want to use the "Export File" destination, which you may have to add. Pick your codec, and let 'er rip.
9) When the rendering is done, you should have a video in your desired dimensions.
That's all there is to it. Hope this helps someone.
Dan
PS: Don't ask why someone would want to create an iPod video using FCPX. The point is that you may need to create a video with non-standard dimensions at some point in time, and this is how to do it.
PPS: Most of this information came from http://library.creativecow.net/articles/payton_t/FCPX_Custom-Resolution-Timeline s/video-tutorial. I just wrote it down, while I tried to do what the video suggested.

Instructions for using QuickTime Pro 7 to create a template video with unusual dimensions.
I suspect that anyone savy enough to be using FCPX has probably already figured out how to do this, either using my technique or another, so there probably isn't a real need for me to post this. For that matter, I may be the only person who cares about this at all. However, while I was trying to learn how to do all of this, I would have really appreciated having all the information in one place, so here goes.
If you want to create a video with unusual dimensions (like 640x1136) using my steps above, you'll need a "template" video first. Here's an easy way to create one, using any image editor, and QuickTime Pro 7.
1) Open QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP for short).
2) From the menu, select File->New Player. You'll get a window with just the bottom portion of the player, i.e. the playback controls.
3) Using an image editor, create a still image in the desired dimensions. You can use any image editor. It doesn't matter what the image contains (although it will end up showing as a thumbnail in FCPX).
4) Copy the image to the clipboard.
5) Switch back to QTP, and paste the image into the new player. Don't worry that there isn't a video window showing - just paste it into the window that has only playback controls. As soon as you do, the video window appears.
6) Advance to the end of the movie (the short, 1-frame movie), then hold down Command+V (paste) and keep holding it down to paste multiple images in. Watch the time advance. You could, if you want, just hold down Command+V until you get the length you want. But if you want a long video, there's an easier way:
7) When you reach a few seconds (or whatever duration your patience allows), select all (Command+A) and copy (Command+C). Then hold down Command+V to keep pasting in the longer clips. Wait until you reach a longer duration, then repeat the process. So, for example, 1 second, then 10 seconds, then 1 minute, then 10 minutes, then 1 hour. Or whatever you want.
8) Save the video however you want. I usually use File->Export with H.264, with Quality set to "Least". Just make sure you don't let it change the dimensions. If you resized the player window, depending on which "save" or "export" method you've chosen, it might default to the resized dimensions, so double check that to make sure.
That's it. You now have a template video you can use with my previous post(s).

Using non-standard sshd port after 10.8 upgrade

After spending hours tracking down this solution as a result of losing my ssh settings after the upgrade to Mountain Lion, I thought it might be useful to post the steps taken to restore the configuration I used with Snow Leopard.
Changing the sshd default listening port
Disclaimer: This tutorial is specific to Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8). I was able to accomplish this using Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) in fewer steps, but upgrading required this more involved solution.
Steps:
1.) You must first enable the root user account in order to change the relevant files. This can be done from the terminal, or by going to System Preferences --> Users & Groups. Once there, click on 'Login Options' at the bottom of the Current User list, and 'Join' where it says 'Network Account Server'.
This will bring up a smaller window. Click on 'Open Directory Utility' at the bottom. You will be prompted for your admin password. Now go to the 'Edit' tab at the top of the screen and toggle down to 'Enable Root User'. You will be prompted to enter your admin password twice.
2.) Log out of your regular user account. At the log in screen you will now see an additional entry for 'other'. Click on that and log in with the username 'root' and your admin password. If are inexperienced as a root-level user, be careful as you can cause problems to your system can be difficult to undo.
Once in your root account, the first step is to create a new 'service definition' in the etc/services file. Open the file with text editor of choice and scroll to the current entry for sshd listening port, which will look like this:
ssh    22/udp    # SSH Remote Login Protocol
ssh    22/tcp     # SSH Remote Login Protocol
Overwrite the '22' with the port number you would like sshd to listen on:
ssh    12345/udp   # SSH Remote Login Protocol
ssh    12345/tcp    # SSH Remote Login Protocol
*12345 being our hypothetical, non-standard port.
It is important to note that the new port number will not take by simply adding a new uncommented line to the file (I tried), unless of course you comment the original ssh entries. Easiest way is just to overwrite what is there already. Save changes.
3.) You now need to edit the ssh.plist file, which is located at /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist. A word to those familiar with Linux/BSD environments: changing the default port in the sshd_config file, which exists in OS X, does NOT change the listening port. Simply changing the default port, saving the config file, and restarting the server (the sensible way) won't work. The OS X sshd server (openssh) is configured to get launch instructions from the ssh.plist file, as opposed to sshd_config. If you are more interested in this aspect of OS X, read up on LaunchDaemons (e.g. launchd).
Before altering the ssh.plist file, you should save a backup copy in case of mistakes, or if you need to revert back to it in the future. Name your backup file something like original.ssh.plist, etc.
In the ssh.plist file, locate the SocksServiceName entry and change it from the default:
<key>SockServiceName</key>
<string>ssh</string>
To the following:
<key>SockServiceName</key>
<string>$alternate port number</string>
In our example from above this value would be 12345.
4.) Save your changes, and exit ssh.plist. You now need to move the backup file you created (original.ssh.plist) out of the System/Library/LaunchDaemons path.
The updated sshd port will not take until you have only one ssh.plist file in the LaunchDaemons directory - this has to do with how launchd is configured to load files which is outside the scope of the current discussion. (*If you've found a way around this, please share.)
5.) Restart the sshd server. Easiest way to accomplish this is going to System Preferences --> Sharing and clicking off 'Remote Login', then clicking back on it.
6.) Test the configuration by logging into the machine running the sshd server from another host using:
ssh username@ipaddress -p 12345
There are a few good tutorials out there that capture some of these steps, but many are dated and/or incomplete. If you are running a standard setup of OS X 10.8, this should work for you.
Of course, don't be fooled into thinking that changing the default listening port from the ubiquitously-probed 22 equates to actual security. At best, it will cut down on the number of dubious connection attempts and probing.

Hi all, above helped me change the sshd port number, thank you very much.
Just upgraded to OS X 10.9.3 on my macbook pro.
My findings were:
Step 1(become a root user or sudo)
Step 2 (/etc/services)
This may not be required unless you want ssh to work without the "-p XXXX" option to connect to other ssh hosts. I favor such as "ssh -p 2222 user@hostname" just to be sure I know what I am doing and also to leave ssh known port as its default "22".
Step 3 (/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist)
This is required if you want to change the sshd port number, I changed both "ssh" to "2222" in this file.
Step 4 (launchctl)
Below is a must as I understood:
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist
it should be already working with the new port number.
You can "ssh -p 2222 user@localhost" in the console terminal and see if its working.
Since I am no expert on MacOS X, and it is a macbook pro that I am using, I also rebooted the system and changes were reflected permanantly.
Thank you guys!

AV output and non-standard frame sizes

I usually work in non-standard frame size for my FCP projects because my final output will be in a 2:35:1 ratio. I use a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Monitor as an HDMI output to a client monitor. Up until a few months ago the AV output of FCPX would allow the Mini Monitor to accept a frame size of 1920x818 and letterbox the output to 16x9 on this consumer grade LCD. One day, this just stopped working... I've reached out to Blackmagic and they have no solution or reason why this happened, and are not willing to offer support since what I was achieving wasn't an "officially supported" feature. Now, the AV output will distort the image vertically to fill a 16x9 frame. At this point I am stuck having to use either a matte layer or a widescreen effect on individual clips to output correctly to my monitor which increases edit time having to re-render any edits underneath the matte and having to re-order the letterbox effect after apply color correction etc. It was also very easy to adjust the frame offset with this wide angle project size.
Is anyone editing in 2:35:1 (or other cinema standard) projects and getting successful conversion on output? What are you using?
Cheers,
Matt

Thanks Tom, you clarified it ....... or at least something clicked in my brain.
I was trying to set "Custom" when I created the new project.
I didn't know, or had forgotten, that in the "error" window I could select "Custom".
All is now well and FCP X 10.1.1 is pretty clever after all!
There is one weird thing I'd like to mention.
When I clicked on "Custom" the 960 x 600 frame dimensions appeared but the frame rate was listed as 23.98p as shown in the screenshot below.
So what's wrong with that?
Well the clip is 30p and I naturally thought I was going to end up with a project with an incorrect frame rate.
Now here's the funny thing ......... when I selected the project and viewed it in the Inspector it was the correct 30p
So why was I given that worrying piece of misinformation.
