Possible Bug in Telnet and Mail?

A few months ago I got an iMac and put it on my all-Linux LAN. For the most part, everything worked fine, but there were times, and now I think it's always been for a while after I rebooted my iMac, that I could not get email from the local POP3 server. When this happened, I'd try "telnet localpop 110" and I'd get this error message:
Trying 0.0.0.0...
telnet: connect to address 0.0.0.0: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
It would eventually resolve itself and keep working. Since I tend not to reboot, it hasn't been a big issue, but it is a pain in the rear when it happens.
Now I'm no longer using the local POP3 server and I get all my email for my domain from the mail server at my hosting company. Today I rebooted my iMac and now I can't get email from my POP3 server. When I saw that, I decided to test it out and tried:
hal@imac:> telnet mail.mydomain.com 110
Trying 0.0.0.0...
telnet: connect to address 0.0.0.0: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
hal@imac:> host mail.mydomain.com
mail.mydomain.com is an alias for thresholddigital.com.
mydomain.com has address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
mydomain.com mail is handled by 10 mydomain.com.
Notice when I use the host command, it finds the domain IP address (blocked here for my sanity), but telnet from the terminal cannot get the address and returns 0.0.0.0.
I've seen this happen before. In a few hours it'll settle out and both Mail and telnet will be able to connect. But in the meanwhile, and staring a few hours after almost every reboot, I have to deal with this.
Does Mail use telnet to access the mail servers? Why is there always this window when telnet cannot get an IP address that host (and ping) can? Is there some bug in telnet, or Mail or the OS?
Any ideas on what is wrong here?
Thank you!

.. I see this same odd
last output on many other systems running various
versions of S9 and patchsets so I suspect that there
is a bug in Sun's OpenSSH sshd, possibly dating
to the initial inclusion of this package in Solaris 9.More information has turned up as I widened my search. On a system with Solaris 9 4/03 patched
on 2004-08-09 (that's August, not September), my last(1) output is what I would normally expect:

Installation of the 2004-09-09 (that September, not August) 9_Recommended patchset causes
this host to exhibit the same broken behavior as the more recently installed or patched hosts I
first reported.
Conclusion: this breakage comes from a patch introduced to the 9_Recommended set after 2004-08-09.
Casual examination of the (3) differences between the 040909 and 040910 9_Recommended patchsets
does not suggest that this has already been fixed.
If it matters, I am a contract customer so I am using patchsets from the contract side of SunSolve.

  • 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.

  • Possible Bug: Business Components and packaging preferences

    I'm using JDev 11g TP2
    When I set up package preferences for business components, it is completely ignoring the package I setup for the Entity object.
    Example:
    From the menu Tools>Preferences
    Under the section Business Components>Packages.
    I set the following:
    Business Component: left blank - it uses the default [prefix].model
    Entity: entity
    Association: entity.association
    View Object: view
    View Link: view.links
    the rest have been left at default settings.
    Then I create a new diagram so I can add existing database tables to the application. I drag and drop the selected tables from the application resources to the diagram. It creates the entity objects in the [prefix].model package, not the [prefix].model.entity package like I was expecting. However the associations get created correctly in the [prefix].model.entity.association package.
    Is this possibly a bug, or just a training issue for me?
    Thanks

    No worries Ric. Unfortunately I don't have access to your latest builds but I'll still raise the issues in case they are relevant.

    CM.

  • Possible bug with TREAT and EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

    Hello, i experienced a strange behavior which seems to be a bug.
    Consider following definitions:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE T_Base FORCE AS OBJECT (
      DummyProperty NUMBER
    ) NOT FINAL;
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE T_Child UNDER T_Base (
      AnotherDummyProperty  NUMBER
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION SpecificValidation (iValue T_Child) RETURN NUMBER IS
    BEGIN
      -- some specific validation is done here, not important for the example
      RETURN NULL;
    END;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ValidateIt (iValue T_Child) IS
      lResult NUMBER;
    BEGIN
      -- The principle used here is that each client can have its own implementation of validation function, and when it does not exist, we do not care.
      -- In reality we put functions and procedures into packages, I narrowed it to a minimal working example.
      BEGIN
        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'BEGIN :lResult := SpecificValidation(:iValue); END;'
          USING OUT lResult, IN iValue;
      EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
        IF INSTR(SQLERRM, 'PLS-00201') = 0 THEN
          RAISE;
        END IF;
      END;
    END;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Process (iValue T_Base) IS
    BEGIN
      -- in fact we know that iValue must be of typ T_Child, it is checked using IS OF ( ) operator and exception is raised if this check fails
      -- This does not work for some reason.
      -- It fails in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE with PLS-00306. I don't really get why, because ValidateIt accepts a value of type T_Child and it passes it to the validation procedure, which also expects value of type T_Child.
      ValidateIt(TREAT(iValue AS T_Child));
    END;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Process2 (iValue T_Base) IS
      lChild  T_Child;
    BEGIN
      -- The only difference here is that result of TREAT is saved to a variable.
      -- This works as expected.
      lChild := TREAT(iValue AS T_Child);
      ValidateIt(lChild);
    END;
    In reality it is much more complex, I narrowed it to a minimal working example.
    Now when running this:
    DECLARE
      lItem T_Base := T_Child(5, 2);
    BEGIN
      BEGIN
        -- This call will end up with PLS-00306 error.
        Process(lItem);
        dbms_output.put_line('Process completed successfully.');
      EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
        dbms_output.put_line('Exception when calling Process.');
        dbms_output.put_line(SQLERRM);
        dbms_output.put_line(DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE);
      END;
      BEGIN
        Process2(lItem);
        dbms_output.put_line('Process2 completed successfully.');
      EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
        dbms_output.put_line('Exception when calling Process2.');
        dbms_output.put_line(SQLERRM);
        dbms_output.put_line(DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE);
      END;
    END;
    then call to Process fails with PLS-00306 on EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.
    The only difference between Process and Process2 is that in Process2, result of TREAT is saved to a variable of type T_Child.
    Is this behavior documented somwhere or is it a bug?

    That's interesting. I would say it is, or should be, a bug.
    Also interesting is, when I re-write your example to eliminate dynamic SQL and instead rely on dynamic method dispatch, the problem goes away... first, the changes:
    drop type T_Child;
    drop type T_Base
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE T_Base FORCE AS OBJECT ( 
      DummyProperty NUMBER 
    ) NOT FINAL
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE T_Child UNDER T_Base (

      dummyProperty    number
    , static FUNCTION GetClientProcessor(iClientId varchar2) RETURN T_Base_Processor
    , member FUNCTION SpecificValidation (iValue T_Child) RETURN NUMBER
    , member PROCEDURE ValidateIt (iValue T_Child)
    , member PROCEDURE Process (iValue T_Base)
    , member PROCEDURE Process2 (iValue T_Base)
    ) NOT FINAL
    create or replace type T_Another_Processor under T_Base_Processor (
      overriding member FUNCTION SpecificValidation (iValue T_Child) RETURN NUMBER
    create or replace type body T_Base_Processor
    is
      static FUNCTION GetClientProcessor(iClientId varchar2) RETURN T_Base_Processor IS
    BEGIN
      return    case
            when upper(iClientId) = 'ADMINISTRATOR' then
                new T_Another_Processor(null)
            else
                new T_Base_Processor(null)
            end;
    END;
      member FUNCTION SpecificValidation (iValue T_Child) RETURN NUMBER IS 
    BEGIN 
      -- some specific validation is done here, not important for the example 
      dbms_output.put_line('T_Base_Processor.SpecificValidation');
      RETURN NULL; 
    END; 
      member PROCEDURE ValidateIt (iValue T_Child) IS 
      lResult NUMBER; 
    BEGIN 
      -- No more need for dynamic SQL, instead rely on dynamic dispatch
      lResult := SpecificValidation(iValue);
    END; 
      member PROCEDURE Process (iValue T_Base) IS 
    BEGIN 
      -- in fact we know that iValue must be of typ T_Child, it is checked using IS OF ( ) operator and exception is raised if this check fails 
      -- This does not work for some reason. 
      -- It fails in EXECUTE IMMEDIATE with PLS-00306. I don't really get why, because ValidateIt accepts a value of type T_Child and it passes it to the validation procedure, which also expects value of type T_Child. 
      ValidateIt(TREAT(iValue AS T_Child)); 
    END; 
      member PROCEDURE Process2 (iValue T_Base) IS 
      lChild  T_Child; 
    BEGIN 
      -- The only difference here is that result of TREAT is saved to a variable. 
      -- This works as expected. 
      lChild := TREAT(iValue AS T_Child); 
      ValidateIt(lChild); 
    END;
    end;
    create or replace type body T_Another_Processor
    is
      overriding member FUNCTION SpecificValidation (iValue T_Child) RETURN NUMBER
    is
    begin
      -- some other specific validation is done here, not important for the example 
      -- You could even call the overridden method as well using
      --   treat(self as T_Base_Processor).SpecificValidation(iValue)
      dbms_output.put_line('T_Another_Processor.SpecificValidation');
      RETURN NULL; 
    end;
    end;
    And again with slight modifications, your test block:
    DECLARE 
      lProcessor T_Base_Processor := T_Base_Processor.getClientProcessor('JOE');
      lItem T_Base := T_Child(5, 2); 
    BEGIN 
      BEGIN 
        -- This call no longer throws a PLS-00306 error. 
        lProcessor.Process(lItem); 
        dbms_output.put_line('Process completed successfully.'); 
      EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN 
        dbms_output.put_line('Exception when calling Process.'); 
        dbms_output.put_line(SQLERRM); 
        dbms_output.put_line(DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE); 
      END; 
      -- Demonstrate dynamic dispatch by choosing a different processor
      lProcessor := T_Base_Processor.getClientProcessor('ADMINISTRATOR');
      BEGIN 
        lProcessor.Process2(lItem); 
        dbms_output.put_line('Process2 completed successfully.'); 
      EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN 
        dbms_output.put_line('Exception when calling Process2.'); 
        dbms_output.put_line(SQLERRM); 
        dbms_output.put_line(DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE); 
      END; 
    END; 
    T_Base_Processor.SpecificValidation
    Process completed successfully.
    T_Another_Processor.SpecificValidation
    Process2 completed successfully.

  • 1.5.3, 3 possible bugs, incorrect information and patchy functionality

    on windows XP SQL Dev 1.5.3
    1.) From the tree structure, I filter Other Users, then open another users views folder. Click on the view that I want to see information for, and instead of the 7 columns that the view is actually composed of, it lists it's 7 columns 3 times for a total of 21 columns.
    2.) When trying to edit a procedure I've noticed that there is typically a +/- sign to expand and collapse loops and begin/end structures. It seems like it's hit or miss whether or not you get this functionality to work.
    3.) I issued the following select and got unexpected results
    select col1, col2, col3, table1.*
    from table1;
    this should return col1, col2, col3, col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, etc... with the values from col1 - col3 being the same in each row, well on several rows I noticed the values didn't match.
    I'm beginning to get very wary of using SQL Developer to do anything other than just query data. I'm sort of afraid to use to actually make any changes within the database for fear of incorrect DDL being issued back to the database and corrupting something.

    Firstly, have you had a chance to test the problems on 1.5.4? The new release has certainly included some bug fixes.
    As for your issues:
    1) Which DB version are you connecting to? Do you get 7 or 21 columns listed if you just expand the view node instead of opening the view object tab?
    I am on 1.5.4 (connecting to 10.2.0.3) and only get each column once when opening the view object tab for a view owned by another schema. Tracing SQL Developer it is using the following query to get the columns:
    select c.column_name,
             decode(data_type,'CHAR'    ,data_type||'('||c.data_length||')',
                              'VARCHAR' ,data_type||'('||c.data_length||')',
                              'VARCHAR2',data_type||'('||c.data_length||')'    ,
                              'NCHAR'   ,data_type||'('||c.data_length||')'    ,
                      'NUMBER'  ,decode(c.data_precision,null,'NUMBER', data_type||'('||c.data_precision||','||c.data_SCALE||')'),
                      'NVARCHAR'  ,data_type||'('||c.data_length||')'    ,
                              'NVARCHAR2' ,data_type||'('||c.data_length||')'    ,
                              data_type) data_type,
                decode(nullable,'Y','Yes','No') nullable,
                c.DATA_DEFAULT,
                column_id,
                com.comments,
                            c_update.insertable,
                c_update.updatable,
                c_update.deletable
          from sys.all_tab_Columns c,
               sys.all_col_comments com,
               sys.all_updatable_columns c_update
          where c.owner      = :OBJECT_OWNER
          and   c.table_name =  :OBJECT_NAME
          and   c.table_name = com.table_name
          and   c.owner = com.owner
          and   c.column_name = com.column_name
          and c_update.column_name = com.column_name
          and c_update.table_name = com.table_name
          and c_update.owner = com.owner 2) I tried the same thing (once again on 1.5.4, but have not noticed this on 1.5.3 previously), although my package didn't have for loops, but did have standard loops and while loops. There was a very slight delay before the expand/collapse options appeared, but they appeared both times after the same short delay. With very large package bodies there can be a much more noticeable delay, but from the size of your scroll bar in your screen shots, it looks as though my test package which only had a slight delay is already longer than yours.
    3) I wasn't able to reproduce this either

  • Possible bug with Notes (in Mail) with copy / paste

    Has anyone else experienced this...
    From time to time the copy / paste does not work properly. When I copy some text with command-c & place the insertion point at the end of line somewhere else in the document & press command-V, the text will be inserted in the line above.
    I am not certain of the precise pattern to reproduce the bug, but try this...
    1) Open an existing note document within mail...
    2) Copy several lines of text & paste somewhere else in the document
    3) Then type some text at the end of one of these lines
    4) Highlight & copy that text
    5) Move insertion point to the end of the next line
    6) press command-v
    7) Text does not get pasted to the right location, but to the line above

  • Possible bug: Saving array with extended and double precision to spreadshee​t

    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.

    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...

  • Copy and paste adjustment  problem/ possible bug.

    Hi all
    I have just encountered a very strange problem/ possible bug.
    I have been working on a file in photoshop cs5 that had come from lightroom 5.3. This was then saved (automaticaly becomes tiff file in Lightroom). I then wanted to make some more adjustments to it in lightroom (using local adjustment clarity). I then tried to copy the settings of the adjustment brush  from the tiff to the original raw file. This is where it gets very strange. The adjustments are copied but they are rotated ccw by 90 degrees!  I can replicate this every time.
    Could someone else try to see if this problem exists on their catalogs or if its a corrpution problem my end.

    Noted on the bug, thanks.

  • Is it possible to let OS X Mail server POP and Sort

    Hi there!
    I'm a current Kerio Mail server user and the way it's set up is like this:
    All our mail gets delivered and spam-filtered at our hostingprovider's server, all mail drops into 1 big mailbox.
    Kerio pops this mailbox every so often and distributes the mail to the users that are managed in kerio.
    Is this setup possible with OS X Server mail services? We are receiving loads of spam and our connection acts up sometimes so this setup provides great availability.
    [edit]
    i guess fetchmail comes into play ... it is installed but not configured
    [/edit]
    Message was edited by: Zimmen

    A few missing pieces here...
    1. Are you using Kerio on your machine, or that is what your hosting provider is running? (I will assume the former).
    2. Does your hosting provider accept mail to AnyUser@yourdomain, or only to legitimat users at your site? If the former, it is no wonder you are getting hammered by spam. You will take anything. Your provider might be able to filter against an RBL list, but that probably only takes out about 70% of the spam on a good day.
    Anti-spam filtering takes place on the SMTP side of the server. Once the mail is delivered to your SP, you've got the mail and have to deal with it on the client side. Ugly at best. Fetchmail will not help you here.
    OS X mail does have a pretty good selection of anti-spam tools. Most notably, SpamAssassin and greylisting. But both (greylisting in particular) require your mail server be the only mail server for your domain for best results.
    Mail does not require particularly high availability. If your mail server is missing for a while, the sending site will try again later. Mail is very resilient to temporary failures. You could set up your SP as a backup MX host if you want, but I would submit that would increase your spam load when your server is down or missing (mail relay from a secondary host, short circuits the greylisting feature).
    I do not know Kerio myself, but for mail alone, the built in mail services in OS X (current version) are pretty good. But you are shooting yourself in the foot by having your SP collecting mail for you, especially if they will accept any user.

  • Converting report to PDF and mailing

    Hi every one,
    I've gone through various threads and i'm aware of the Functional module's used to
    convert the report to pdf and mail it back.Like CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF and for mailing we have SEND_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
    I've worked with this but my problem is i'm not able to convet the report output to pdf.When i'm doing this i'm getting the output of my functional module converted to pdf like the number of header and item records available for the given data in the selection screen.
    Since all the threads i've gone through is converting the single internal table which has the output to pdf.
    But i've got the REUSE_ALV_HIERSQL_LIST_DISPLAY, hierarchial report which as known has got two internal tables.How to the same to this kind of report....More over is it possible to convert report to pdf in online without transfering it to spool and getting the spool id to convert it to pdf.........
    Any help or suggestions will surely be rewarded......
    Thanks in Advance.....

    Here is the complete code for you;

  • Automated execution and mailing of BeX reports

    Hi,
    I have a requirement which goes like this:
    There is a report which gives a P&L statement for a cost center. Say I have one parent Cost Center Group and there are 100 Cost Centers within that group. The report allows the user to select variants based on the cost center. So they have to execute this report every month for 100 different cost centers in order to generate a P&L for each cost center.
    Now the users want some sort of automated way to execute the reports every month for each cost center within a cost center group and then the results (XL based) delivered to them through email. The mail should contain workbooks or BeX reports.
    Is it possible to implement this? If yes then how can this be achieved?
    We are running BW 3.5.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Nikhil

    Hi Arun,
    Do you have some document on how to use the RSCRM_BAPI transaction?
    everytime I try to run an extract it generates an error "No authorization to create extract /BIC/0CYYNIKTEST of type Table"
    and when I try to execute the query - it generates an OLAP error in a key figure.
    The query is quite complexin the sense that it uses structures in both the rows & columns sections and also uses all possible types of variables and also hs built in variants already.
    I would be grateful if you can send across some document on the transaction. I would have posted docs & screenshots of the query, but there is no way in SDn to do that.
    Thanks & regards,
    Nikhil

    Mountain Lion: on the Notification Center notification and Mail:
    how to limit notifications to an email account?
    At least, is it possible to choose what email account, the arrival of a message launch a notification.
    When running more than a dozen e-mail accounts, it may be appropriate to display only the notifications of one or two major accounts.

    Which os are you using?  Which Mail version are you using? 

  • Can I change my iCloud email address and keep all of my music, apps, files and mail in the cloud and on all of my devices?

         Ok, so here's the deal. I want to change my iCloud email address. Ultimately I want to keep the same Apple ID and simply edit the part before the '@icloud.com'. If this is not possible, can I make a new Apple ID and transfer all of music, apps, files, and mail to the new Apple ID and all of my other devices?
                        Thanks in advance, Scotty P.

    You cannot change your iCloud email address but you can setup a new alias: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a

  • When will iCal and Mail on the Mac work as well with exchange as their IOS counterparts do on the iPad?

    To get mail to access my exchange email I have to use a private smtp server  as the passing in the settings for our actual exchnage server have never worked.  But that does at least work.  With iCal I have never been able to access my exchange calendar.  It accepts the login and appears to connect but the calendar can never be refreshed so is non-functional.
    Contrast that to my iPad where I just put in my email user and pwd (for the same account as above) and both mail and calendar are fully functional (or at least so far). This is appearently due to cal and mail on iPad using OWA for everything but fetching mail.  Why oh why is this approach not taken on the mac?

    John Galloway wrote:
    OK, I'll bite.  What are these "full desktop" facilities that you don't get on the iPad?  (I have been using email for as long as its been around pretty much, but just started using email/cal on the iPad).
    You're still missing the point.  The iPad uses the same code for the mail and calander apps as the iPhone.  So the code was already baked in when the iPad was released.  Thus "simple" to have the iPad connect to Exchange 2003.  Apple didn't start supporting Exchange the the OSX apps until after that and for whatever reason, decided to only go with the Exchange 2007 protocols.  Different programs and different capabilities.
    I have never seen the innards of OSX Mail or IOS Mail
    Not necessary to see the code for the apps specifically.  But if you've ever written any apps, particularly under a large bureaucratic environment where there are many cooks in the kitchen, you'd know what I meant when I said "...What you think can be "carried over" is a substantial rewrite to Mail and iCal.  I'm not saying it's not possible, just that it ain't as simple as you think...." 
    What Apple product is competing with exchange server for email?  Sure you can run an email service on OSX...
    You've just answered the question.  Apple does sell a email server product and they did have MobileMe, soon to be iCloud.  Exchange is a competing product.
    ...but there is pretty much 0 corporate presence of Apple servers (servers not clients) as far as I know.  And sure exchange 2003 is old hat, but what percentage of clients still connect to one?
    And you know that "zero" figure for sure?  Like you know for certain exactly how many (or little) Exchange 2003 servers are still in use?  I never said that there were NO Exchange 2003 servers in use.  (I have a client still on one, so I know for a fact that it is not zero.)  My point was that Apple made a decision whether to spend the time, $$$ nd effort to add in an additional feature to their existing Mail and iCal OSX apps, which uses a different protocol, to a competing product, that is not a new product and is more than one version out and that already has a specific EOL date from the manufacturer (April 2014.)  Again, I specifically state that it's not a technical reason that it can't be done.  But if you don't understand that it's more likely to be that someone saw the ROI wasn't there, then you likely will never understand.
    (You will, of course, want the last word.  Please go ahead.  I have already given you answers, regardless of your acceptance of their correctness.)

  • 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
