Practical use for clickthru log

Regarding the clickthru log (populated by the htmldb_util.count_click or Z procedure)...
What is a practical use of this feature? Other than a "Huh, that many, eh? Nice" by glancing at it from the Admin pages.
One thing I thought of was "self-destructing" download links where the link is rendered conditionally by querying the WWV_FLOW_CLICKTHRU_LOG view and checking the count(*) for that category.
So, I decide that I want to allow this download to happen only, say, 100 times and then disable the link and put up a message "Sorry, maximum number of downloads exceeded" or something like that.
Has anyone made any other use of this feature in their applications?
Thanks

Vikas,
At CASEtech, we are using the clickthru log for 3 different activities within our product offering.
1. We have on all the web sites we create for clients a footer link:
"Site Design by CASEtech Inc. ©2004 All rights reserved." with a clickthru to track how many of our customer's customers are coming to our web site.
2. We have a customer who has rotating advertising in their header, with an opportunity to click for more information. Our client wants to know how many times this advertising link is clicked for each of its "sponsors"
3. We include the clickthu on images sent in emails from our Oolaroo - Oracle HTML DB applications as a way of tracking emails read.

Practical Use For 2 Super Drives?

My apologies if this sounds silly but is there any real practical use for the 2 Super Drives I have? I think I may have been a bit naive thinking that I would somehow be able to burn multiple CDs at once from iTunes or burn multiple DVDs at once from iMovie or iDVD. Can someone provide an example of how I would be able to use the two drives or what the intent was of offering two drives?

Thanks Forrest. Sorry for not replying sooner but I've been away for the holidays. By "running two instances of the app and making a duplicate" are you referring to, for instance, creating a copy of iDVD or iMovie and renaming it to something else? Is that even possible? Perhaps it would be best if I described a scenario and ask if it is possible to do this.
I create an iMovie project and share to iDVD. Suppose I want burn a large number of DVDs. Is there a way to do this using both trays from iDVD? I do a lot of this, usually converting a lot of home movies for people and putting them on DVD. When they want multiple copies, it's a matter of waiting for one DVD to finish burning before loading another because I can't see a way to burn the same project via the two different superdrives that came with the Mac Pro.

Practical use of Java Logging API

There was a recent technical tip about the Java Logging API, but after reading it I still don't understand how to use it in a real situation.
Can anyone help me with this with a practical example?
At the moment I have try-catch clauses that catch exceptions and print a message in a System.err log that I can consult if there's a specific problem.
How should I be using the Logging API? I feel sure that it can help me, but can't see how.
Thanks for any practical information.

What if you don't want to write to system.err anymore? What if you need to write something to the windows event log? What if system.err is irrelevant (nt service), ...
Btw, lots of examples on the JDK1.4 logging api:

FM used for error log

Hi experts,
I would like to ask if you happen to kmow an alternative FM to 'SMPO_DISPLAY_MESSAGES'.
The thing is I'm using error log in my program and I configure it so that there is just a pushbutton in the ALV. Once the button is pushed, the error encountered in the execution of the program will show.
Using FM 'SMPO_DISPLAY_MESSAGES' would show the pop-up for errors while executing the program and not after execution.
If you happen to know any alternative for this FM, it would really help.
Thanks in advance.
Jen

Practical use for dual monitors in Lightroom

I am running Lightroom 2.1 in Vista 64 with 8 GB of Ram for those that will ask.
I have an EIZO CE240w monitor and a 21 cintiq Wacom tablet monitor that is connected on my ATI 4850 Video card on that PC.
How would others configure their monitors and how would they use each one to their benefit.
I'm just looking for suggestion since Lightroom 2 can now support dual screens... but why??
Mike

>For me Lightroom is almost unusable without a dual monitor setup (I use grid view on the smaller monitor and do all adjustments and other main work on the larger monitor), but it's also true that its support for dual monitors is somewhat primitive and seems a bit like an afterthought.
I'm a little baffled by this (and other) comments regarding Lr's dual monitor support. In what way is it unusable? Is it because you cannot tear off the panels and move then to another monitor? If Adobe chooses to implement this feature you will get no complaints from me but I use my dual monitor setup in Lr much differently than in Ps.
In Ps I move all my panels to my second monitor and use my main monitor exclusively for my images. I may work for hours on a single image and glance only occasionally at the second monitor, preferring keyboard shortcuts and mouse-click context menus to manipulate the image. However, when I need a quick glance at a panel there they are on the second monitor. In Ps the image is king.
In Lr, on the other hand, speed trumps everything else. It's all about dealing with hundreds (sometimes thousands) of images and doing it quickly. I set my panels to Solo mode and Auto Hide & Show. A quick Shift+G brings the grid view to my second monitor. My main monitor is all image. I often do not need to see the panels. For example, use the , and . keys to navigate through the Basic adjustments and tap the + and - keys to increase or decrease values. D for develop, E for loupe, C for compare, grid always on the second monitor. When I want the panels I want them close to the images and do not want to have my eyes wander to a second monitor. Everything fast, fast fast.
Hit G, loupe now on the second monitor, grid on the main. Shift+Ctrl+Alt+K to set a keyword shortcut, then Ctrl+Alt+K to paint the keyword across images. Ctrl+K to enter more keywords on the keywording panel. The panels nestled nicely near the grid. A click, the panel is gone. (I would however like to see the develop presets permanently on the second monitor.)
It's fast, fast, fast. Lr, Ps: two different beasts; two different workflows. Each uses dual monitors, each differently.

What is the practical use for Davinci Resolve?

Hi!
I was just surfing the Mac App Store when I found a lite version of Davinci Resolve. I havent really looked into Davinci Resolve, but it looked interesting. I was trying to figure out what it really is though, might be a stupid question, but is it just a color corrector? Can I do editing in it? I typically use Final Cut Pro X for my editing jobs, mainly cutting together show-reels and small promo´s for my exhibitions, and was wondering if anybody could shed some light on color correcting in Final Cut Pro X vs Davinci Resolve?

It is 'just' a color-grading tool, indeed.
To get a first glimpse, what can be achieved, have a look at the tutorials on thsi website:

Which trigger to use for error logging output ?

hello,
is there a trigger which is executed every time
an error occurs in report generation ?
so that i can write the error-message via
"TEXT_IO" to an external file every time the
trigger fires ?
any suggestions
greetings
thorsten lorenz

No, there's no equivalent of the Forms On-Error trigger. Please see my response in your other thread for information on where the error messages can be found.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Defining a formatter for java logging

I'm trying to define my own Formatter object to be used for file logging. For some reason, the code does not want to recognize this. Here is the property file snippet:
# default file output is in user's home directory.
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = c:/logs/etc.
java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit = 500
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count = 3
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter= org.frb.ny.log.MyFormatter
At runtime, logging decides to use XMLFormatter....
Is this suppossed to work? When I do this programatically it works fine.
Thank you

You must use the -Xbootclasspath/a: java launcher option so that the Formatter subclass (or any other class referenced in a logger configuration file for that matter) in on the bootstrap classpath

I have 2 macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only loged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk

I have 2 Macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only logged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk. Is it possible to update her account on my macbook using her external disk without overwriting my stuff on the same Macbook and vice versa?

Time Machine does not do individual accounts. It records the complete drive. So if you were to use her TM backup on your Mac it would make your Mac just like hers. Both yours and her account on your MAC.
Just copy the missing files over from her Mac to yours. If there are differennt programs on each then they would need to be installed on both.

Hi,
Perhaps this link could help

Also check out the note :
For SCM Add-On Products like SAP SNC, SAP EM, SAP F&R the basis component (SAP Netweaver Release) has to be also assigned as relevant Product Instance
Might be helpful, if you check the product versions being reported for the system in the SLD.

Using Sym Links for .dbf, .log, and .ctl files? Will this work in 10g?

Hello,
We have an old database server we use for testing/development and it's running very low on diskspace on one of the filesystems on the box. At this point in time, adding space is not a simple option for several reasons. However, there are several other data partitions on this server with plenty of space available.
I read a paper published by Sun Microsystems that advocates the use of symbolic links for dbf, ctl, and log files:
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0103/817-1048.pdf
Are there any drawbacks/caveats we need to be aware of, or is this really as simple as just stopping the db, moving a few files to another fs, symlinking their locations, and restarting the db?
Thanks for your input/advice.

I think you should verify this with Oracle Support.

Speakerphone option is too low for practical use. Can this be corrected?

I have the iPhone 2G and the speakerphone really ***** (for lack of a better term). I'd like to use it more often but even on its loudest setting its barely audible. Can this be fixed without hacking? Is the 3G significantly louder? Thanks for any insight as I love the phone but may have to switch if this can't be resolved.

You will have to send feedback to Apple as this is a User to User forum.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
I agree that the volume is to low for practical use, and the physical aspects don't help. The speaker is one of the tiny holes in the bottom, so you need to aim the end of the iphone at your face to make the most of it.

Is there a custom function available which can be used for logging errors captured in a sp in a sql table

Is there a custom function available which can be used for logging errors captured in a sp during and after execution in a sql table?
Basically we would like to utilize such function in every sp and log errors of each sp in a error log table
