Possible bug in DST patches

I am running Trusted Solaris 8 12/02 x86
I have installed patches 125235-01 and 125237-01. It appears the spring forward time change works however the fall back time change does not seem to be losing an hour. I performed the following steps to test the time changes.
Spring forward time change:
1. Set the time using �date 031101592007� which sets the time to Sun Mar 11 01:59:00 CST 2007
2. Using the date command I verified the time springs ahead and changes to Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 CST 2007 skipping the 2 am hour.
This tells me the spring forward worked.
Fall back time change:
1. Set the time using �data 110401592007� to set the time to Sun Nov 4 01:59:00 CST 2007
2. Using the date command I tried to verify that the time would fall back and count the 1 am hour again but it did not. The date continued into the 2 am hour normally.
Because of this I am gussing there may be a bug in the patches.
If I am doing something wrong or if there is a better way to test the time change please let me know. Thanks
Josh

OK. I think I see what you are saying. First I want
to make sure we are both talking about 24 hour time
and not 12 hour time. In 24 hour time I understand
the 0100 hour would occur twice; The first in DST and
the second pass not in DST. I am not sure which time
the 'date 110401592007' command I ran set the time
in. The second.
Does the OS automatically put the new date in the
second pass through of the 0100 hour?Apparently.
If so there may
not be a bug at all but if that was the case how
could the fall back time be tested?Run
perl -le 'print scalar localtime 1143504000' and
perl -le 'print scalar localtime 1175040000'
If you're in a US timezone that follows Daylight Saving time, the first will show a time on March 27 2006 (Standard time) and the second a year later on March 27 2007 (Daylight Saving Time). The two should have local times one hour apart. If they do not, then you're probably not ready.
An alternative is to simply ask zdump for information about your particular tiemzone.
zdump -v $TZ | grep 2007. You should see the correct transition dates for 2007.
Alternatively, if you really want to change the clock on the computer, don't change it by specifying a local time (which as you've seen is ambiguous). Change it by specifying a UTC time and the -u flag. That's unambiguous.

Is it possible to do DST patch without reboot on Solaris 9

Hi - I have some machines that are difficult to schedule downtime on, and am
wondering if I can manually stop/start processes that are affected by
113225-08 and 112874-33 patches so that I could apply them without rebooting.
Is this possible?
Thanks very much for the help,
Judy

The reboot ensures that all processes are restarted.
Any processes that are started before the timezone patch is installed will not see the update.
So if nothing else, I'd want to restart cron...

Obtain DST patch for 10.2.0.1.0 on Windows from other than MetaLink?

Does anybody know whether it's possible to get patches from anywhere other than MetaLink?
I downloaded and installed Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows from OTN, but I had one hell of a time getting the Enterprise Manager to connect properly because of that DST problem that everyone's been complaining about.
I read in one post that there was a DST patch. However, I don't have a support contract, so no Support Identifier to register for MetaLink. Is there anywhere else to obtain this DST patch?
I did manage eventually to get Enterprise Manager to connect and work properly by changing my Windows DST setting and 'hitting' EM until it just happened to work. But I have to go through that same ridiculous procedure every time I restart my machine, so I was hoping to get a patch.

It is not possible to do so legally.
Buy the support agreement. There is a lot of value beyond the patches. Doing so will give you access to the Knowledge Base, Service Requests, and much more.

Possible Bug In Apex 4.0.2

Hi Everyone.
I would like to report what I think is a bug in Apex 4.0.2.
If you go to my workspace on apex.oracle.com:
Workspace = EEG
Username = [email protected]
Password = galaxy (all lowercase)
Run the application: 37796 - Elie_Various_Goodies [no credentials are required]
This app was imported from my 4.0.1 workspace at my job. On the page I created two Date Picker items, P1_BEGIN_DATE and P1_END_DATE. I set them up so that whenever a user selects a begin date, a dynamic action "MANAGE_DATES" fires and automatically sets P1_END_DATE to this selected begin date value. Now when a user goes to select an end date, the displayed calendar starts at the previously selected begin date rather than the default of "Today".
All of this worked fine on my office (4.0.1) workspace. However, after exporting this app and then importing onto apex.oracle.com, none of this functionality would work. Even worse, whenever I try to select a begin date or even an end date, the selected dates never make it into the date picker fields. Displaying the "Session" window shows these fields as empty.
It was only after I copied the two date picker fields and also re-created my dynamic action (P1_BEGIN_DATE2, P1_END_DATE2, MANAGE_DATES) did my functionality return.
This behavior is quite strange. I can only think this is some sort of bug attributed to the export/import process when exporting a 4.0.1 app into a 4.0.2 workspace. I am not sure if this bizarre behavior happens with non-date picker items. Nor am I sure if this beavior would be repeated if I export/import from 4.0.2 into the another 4.0.2 environment.
Another strange thing I noticed. If I change my date picker items to be "date picker (classic)" type items, the dynamic action does not work at all. This is true in both 4.0.2 and 4.0.1. I'm not sure if this a bug or not. It could be that the classic date picker is just not "javascript" enabled so to speak. If that is true, then it would have been nice if the docs would have warned us about this.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Thank you.
Elie

Hi Joel.
First let me thank you for the warning about allowing "everyone" access to my workspace.
You're correct, of course. Anyone could destroy anything within my workspace. I guess I was too trusting especially as I have seen many posts on the Forum where others have given access to their workspace so that responders can offer help. I really should be more discreet about this. Again, thank you. Needless to say, I have changed my password.
With respect to the possible bug, the MANAGE_DATES dynamic action is intended to be a submit page because that is the only way I can see to get BOTH the P1_END_DATE date picker item as well as the end date textual field to be assigned the selected P1_BEGIN_DATE. I tried to use a dynamic action in which javascript sets the value of the end date textual field to the selected P1_BEGIN_DATE value. This works without the need to submit the page. Unfortunately, this does not cause the P1_END_DATE date picker item to default to this value. Instead, the default remains at today's date. This is why I finally resorted to a dynamic action that submits the page whenever a new value is selected (that is, a "change" event) from the P1_BEGIN_DATE date picker item.
All of this works in my office 4.0.1 environment. However, I was puzzled when this fails under 4.0.2 on the hosted web site at apex.oracle.com. This is why I posted a "possible" bug in 4.0.2.
I hope this all makes sense.
One more thing, as already mentioned in my original post, this "defaulting a date picker" functionality does NOT work at all for the "classic" date picker items in both 4.0.1 nor in 4.0.2. I realize one can implement this functionality (I' guessing) my using, say, a "onChange" javascript call to submit the page. It's just funny that the "classic" date picker items are not acted upon by the dynamic action MANAGE_DATES that submits the page.
Thank you.
Elie

Possible bug found in Mac Os X Tiger 10.4.11 in conjuction with iPod Touch

Dears,
I think I've found a possible bug in Mac Os X version 10.4.11 in conjunction with iPod Touch.
When the iPod is connected during boot, my Bluetooth hardware fails to be detected. When I restart the portable without the iPod connected, my Bluetooth hardware is recognised & activated again. It is reproduceable.
1. Attach iPod Touch before starting the MacBook Pro
2. Boot the Macbook
3. Bluetooth hardware should be rendered inoperative
Restore functionality:
1. Detach the iPod Touch
2. Reboot the portable
3. Bluetooth hardware is restarted / recognised.

Possible Bug with Drag-and-Drop Being Published via HTML5 - Getting "Undefined" Error When Dragging Object

Hello,
I came up with a way to use drag-and-drop interactions that will take advantage of file input so that I may create a drag-and-drop interaction that uses one draggable object over and over allowing multiple scoring/tracking possibilities. Example use...is having the draggable object be dynamic in that it randomly changes its text so that a learner can drag a term it's possible classification.........thus allowing the possibility of having many terms easily loaded without having to redo a drag-and-drop interaction for each needed terms/classifications updates/changes.
My Issue: When using a variable to represent the text for a draggable Smart Shape object, I'm getting the error message "undefined" when, clicking/pressing on the object, as well as during the drag of the object. This issue occurs when publishing the project in an HTML5 format. Flash interestingly enough seems to work perfect...but we are not interested in publishing via Flash any longer.
To better help you explore this error message, I've set up a test project so that you can see when and how the "undefined" message shows up during a drag-and-drop interaction. I've also included the Captivate 8 project file used to make the exploration project I'm sharing in this post.
Link to Captivate project I created for you all to explore "undefined" error message": http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug/
Link to this Captivate 8 Project file: http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug.cptx
It's pretty interesting how things react in this demo, please try the following actions to see some interesting happenings:
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target.
Drag Black Hello square to Drag target and click undo or reset - watch the undefined message come up on the Yellow (or variable drag box).
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target and then use the undo or reset.
Move both draggable boxes to the drag target and use the undo and reset buttons...
Anyhow, I know you all are sharp and will run the demo through its paces.
I'd really be very honored if anyone help me figure out how I could (when publishing out to HTML5) no longer have the "undefined" error message show up when using drag-and-drop with a variable for shape text. This technique has been well received at the college I work at...and I have many future project requests for using such an idea on a variety of similar interactions. I'd love see a solution or see if this might be a bug Adobe may be able to fix!
I tried to find a solution to the issue documented here for quite some time, but I was not able to find anyone with this problem much less attempting the idea I'm sharing in the help request - save the darn "undefined" message that comes up!
Many thanks in advance for any help and/or direction that you all may be able to provide,
Paul

Hello,
I just wanted to supply a minor update related to my drag-and-drop question/issue stated above:
I did another test using Captivate 7, and found that the undefined error (publishing as HTML5) does not appear and the variable data remains visible - except the variable data turns very small and does not honor any font size related settings.
I did go ahead and submit this to Adobe as a possible bug today.
Thanks again for any help related to this issue. If the issued documented above is solved, it will allow many amazing things to be done using Captivate's drag-and-drop for both regular type projects as well as interaction development for iBooks!
Matter of fact if this issue gets fixed, I'll publish a Blog entry (or video) on way's I've used Captivate's drag-and-drop to create dynamic learning activities for Higher Ed. and for use in iBooks.

Oem web page will not display after O/S dst patch

Hello,
The Grid web page will not display after we DST patch for the o/s.
All below start fine without any errors:
emctl start oms
emctl start iasconsole
opmnctl startall
emctl start agent
The Grid web page is not displaying. What might happened after the o/s dst patch that might cause this? Our GRID is 10204 with a 10104 repository. The 10104 has not yet been dst patch.
What logs should I be looking at to figure why the web page is not displaying? Thank you.

Provide the output of these comands:
$OMS_HOME/bin/emctl status oms
$OMS_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl status
$AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl status agent
$DATABASE_HOME/bin/sqlplus "/ as sysdba" << EOF

Possible bug: Saving array with extended and double precision to spreadsheet

If one concatenates a double precision array and an extended precision array with the "build array" vi and then saves using "Write to Spreadsheet File" vi any digits to the right of the decimal place are set to zero in the saved file. This happens regardless of the format signifier input (e.g. %.10f) to the "Write to Spreadsheet File" vi.
I am on Vista Ultimate 32 bit and labview 9.0
This is a possible bug that is easily circumvented by converting to one type before combining arrar to a spreadsheet. Nonetheless, it is a bug and it cost me some time.
Solved!

Spreadsheet save bug.vi ‏9 KB

Hi JL,
no, it's not a bug - it's a feature
Well, if you would look more closely you would recognize the "Save to Spreadsheet" as polymorphic VI. As this polymorphic VI doesn't support EXT numbers internally (it only supports DBL, I64 and String) LabVIEW chooses the instance with most accuracy: I64 (I64 has 64 bits precision, DBL only 53...). So your options are:
- set the instance to use as DBL (by right-click and "Select type...")
- make a copy of this VI, save it with a different name and make it support EXT numbers (don't rework the polymorphic VI as you would break compatibility with other LV installations or future revisions)
And yes, those coercion dots always signal some conversions - you should atleast check what's going on there...

Possible bug? formatted number 0 displays as 4,294,967,295

This is really two questions in one. First, I have a routine
that sometimes provides a result of 0, which is *sometimes*
displayed in an AdvancedDataGrid column as 4,294,967,295, which I'm
assuming is somehow a meaningful number (largest int?). Anyway, I
have an ADG with a column defined as:
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Remaining work"
labelFunction="rem_work_fmt" textAlign="right" />
The labelFunction called is shown below:
private function rem_work_fmt(item:Object,
column:AdvancedDataGridColumn):String
var num:String =
numberFormatter.format(item.get_remaining_work());
trace ("result: " + num);
return num;
The trace output prints: "result: 0" as expected, but the
number displayed in the grid is sometimes 0 and sometimes
4,294,967,295.
More weirdness, this only happens to the last column in the
ADG. I call the same format logic on a different column and have
never seen the wrong result. Also, the same underlying function
"get_remaining_work()" is called elsewhere on the same data and the
result is correctly displayed in a text field as 0.
Second question, I've run into some other possible bugs,
which I haven't reported because I found a work around. How does
one do that in the beta program?

lw1001,
Bugs can be filed in the public bug base at

A possible *bug* in java jcombobox

Hi all,
I think i found a possible bug in java jcombobox .. i am sure some of you must have already experienced it..
supposedly you put a jcombobox in a jpanel
returned the panel from a method to a calling method..
and that method adds it to another panel that it had created to a frame..
and if this happens dynamicaly at runtime, as only after u click a button..
meaning : without adding the combobox or the immediate parent panelto the contentpane .. directly..
Then,
your combox's keylistener may not catch events fired.
.. this has happened to me many times.. and always i could only find a way out
.. by adding the combobox to panel that is loaded during startup itself and is
.. not returned through a method call.
Your opinions please ?
'Harish.

All components in a UI are created at run-time.
When you create your JFrame you call pack() to align and resize the UI. This validates all the components, and sets the default focus on what ever component should have the focus at start up.
When you create components and add them as children of another component you have to validate the child and parent. This can be done by calling JComponent.validate()
As for keylisteners not getting called, this might be fixed if you call grabFocus on the new combobox. I can't see a reason why any listener would stop working.
For me to really understand what your talking about. I'd need to see source code reproducing this problem.

DST patch problem

Hi,
I have forms6i application running on Oracle 9IAS . We have applied DST patch to the Database Server,Application Server and Application Server OS.
We are not able to apply patch to JDK 1.1.8 version of App Server because the patch is available only for JDK 1.4 and above. Now the issue is the APP server's OS time is advanced and we are only able to upload files in the Application Server (feature of application) but not able to retrieve the file again from the forms front end. The process interrupts there. The database server time and application server is not same now.
Now when we change the APP Server time to the current time we are able to upload the file and then view from forms front end correctly.
Please help if there is any solution for this. Is there any patch available for JDK 1.1.8. We found that TEXT_IO package in forms is retrieving the file.
Can anybody suggest as to what to do solve this problem

Hrm.. Have you tried pulling the battery? if not you might have to reload your operating system?
If someone helped you give them kudos. Research all info!

Calendar object with Microsoft DST patch

We have been testing changes to the 2007 daylight saving time. We applied Microsoft DST patch to Windows 2000 with Java 1.3.1_18 and Windows 2003 with Java 5.0 Update 8. On both systems the calendar object return time zone of GMT although the system clock is set for Eastern.
If the Microsoft patch is removed, the correct time zone is again returned. Has anyone else seen this behavior when Windows OS patch is applied?

> Does anyone know exactly what the problem is (what has Microsoft changed) ?
a) Go to <http://www.ciac.org/ciac/bulletins/p-006.shtml> and search for the "CAN-" links. Each component has a one paragraph description.
b) According to <http://patch-info.de/IE/2004/10/12/20-35-16.html> it contains:
mshtml.dll (6,0,2800,1476 - 29,09,2004)
urlmon.dll (6,0,2800,1474 - 23,09,2004)
shdocvw.dll (6,0,2800,1584 - 27,08,2004)
wininet.dll (6,0,2800,1468 - 23,08,2004)
browseui.dll (6,0,2800,1584 - 22,08,2004)
shlwapi.dll (6,0,2800,1584 - 20,08,2004)
c) Some of the things that could be breaking are DOM references and DHTML, which are advanced features that not every application uses.
From <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-038.mspx>:
"Caveats: Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 834707 <http://support.microsoft.com/?id=834707> documents the currently known issues that customers may experience when they install this security update. The article also documents recommended solutions for these issues."
Among other issues, that page says [emphasis added]:
- After you install the MS04-038 security updates for Internet Explorer, some dynamic HTML (DHTML) drag-and-drop operations are blocked by Internet Explorer.
- Security update 834707 includes a change to the way that Internet Explorer handles function pointers. This change in functionality occurs when an event handler points directly to a Document Object Model (DOM) function [...] Change in Internet Explorer function pointer behavior causes code to not be executed when an event handler is set to directly reference a DOM function after installing MS04-038 security updates.
BTW, Note 785308 has been updated with a workaround.

Can someone confirm a possible bug with Universal Access?

Can someone confirm a possible bug with Universal Access?
I have a Mac Pro 3,1, 10.7.1 but if you could confirm or not this possible bug with any model.
In Energy Saver preference pane:
Set Mac to never sleep.
Set Display Sleep to ~2 minutes.
In Desktop & Screen Saver:
Set screen saver to start at ~1 minutes.
In Universal Access:
Check Enable access for assistive devices.
Check radio button Zoom to On.
Zoom in window not checked.
Confirm that Zoom works by pressing:
⌥⌘= (option, command, =).
Set screen back to normal by pressing ⌥⌘-.
Let screen sleep after screen saver starts.
Wake screen and see if ⌥⌘= still works.
Thanks … Ken

Other than the time intervals (smallest Screen Saver kick-in is 3 minutes), it works fine for me - at least I can still zoom in/out after waking the display.
Tested on two different MacBook Pro models in 10.7.1

Possible to do data patching of Ship-to address in DO?

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to do data patching of ship-to address in DO, after DO has been PGI?
The Ship-to Addresses in multiple DOs for 1 single order were all over-written by the last DO ship-to address.
Pls advise.
Thanks and Rgds,
Betty

At least the OSS note will take care of future such issues.
For this issue your options are pretty limited. But here is what you can do.
1. Check in ADRC table the different address numbers maintained for this ship-to. Ideally if you have changed it only once, then there would be 2 different address numbers. One for before the change and the other after the change.
2. So after the ship-to address was changed, the WE partner function address numbers in the VBUP table that is the ship-to party address numbers in delivery were all changed to the new number.
3. To rectify this you would have to get the old address number, in the address number field of VBUP table (VBUP-ADRNR)
4. Since you cannot change the address in the deliveries now as GI has been done and invoicing has been done, the only way is to change the table entries for such affected deliveries as suggested above.
It is too much of a pain if you are only doing this to keep a sanity of data.

What are the changes / enhancements / or possible bugs in LR 5 Auto Tone

Can anyone explain what, if any, changes, enhancements, or possible bugs were introduced in the functionality of Auto Tone since LR ver. 5.0. The reason I ask is that I get different results for the Exposure and Contrast adjustments when applying Auto Tone (using ver. 5.3) from the results (using ver.5.0) shown in the book "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 CIB" in the "Using Quick Develop in the Library module" section, step 4 on page 37. (This difference in results between LR versions was confirmed by the authors of LR5CIB.)

I'm not sure about any new bugs but the radical exposure mis-calculations have been improved. I had photos that were over exposed to 5 (and even 10, believe it or not) that were exposed to a more appropriate 2 or so following the improvements (in Lr5.2 if memory serves). It's also less likely to radically underexpose.
Enjoy, (in my opinion, it's much better)
I think there may have even been further improvement in Lr5.3 but I can't swear to it - seems to preserve a little more contrast than in 5.2 - could be my imagination..
