Preemptive Strike - Implementation?
I have been tasked with identifying problems on initial startup (we just completed the blue print phase) from the ABAP developer's point of view. I understand you are very busy so any help is appreciated.
I need any problems, and hopefully solutions, you have encountered in the following area's:
<b>Interfaces to legacy systems
Forms - customer facing documents
Modifications
Enhancements
Post go Live
Upgrades</b>
I will award points as soon as I figure out how to do that (maybe somebody could enlighten me).
Thanks, Dave Howell
For the interface to legacy systems, you will have to decide on an approach: BDC, BAPI or Standard SAP program. For most of our interfaces to FI, we use standard SAP program RFBIBL00.

How to smooth text when using 720p HDTV as monitor?
I know I'm not using the best choice for a Monitor, but want to tweak it the best I can.
Sony Bravia BX 320, 720P TV as my monitor
New Mac Mini bought yesterday
1080P Display Setting in Mini's display profiles
720P ibid
Connected via HDMI
Have tried tweaking around with different Mac Display profiles and color calibrations. Above look the best as far as resolution and picture when sitting far away from screen.
Closer I get to screen, the more pixelated and crappy the text looks, which is really bad
What are the tweakablle settings, both in the monitor and computer I would want to play with to smooth the text out as best as is possible given my monitor choice?
What would be a better "TV" choice to use as a monitor for my Mini? I only run a Roku and OTA HDTV into the TV tuner.
Is there a choice that looks good in both TV and Mini monitoring applications?
Thanks so much.I have never used any of this, I have never needed to use it. I just know that the information is around and has been useful to others.
I also saved this tutoial that I found once. Perhaps it can help you;
SwitchResX Tutorial
0. All of this is easier to do if you have a portable Mac, since you can configure the external display while viewing everything on the built-in display. You can do it with only the external display (your big TV, that is), but it's tedious.
1. Get the proper cable to connect your Mac to the display (VGI, DVI, or DVI->HDMI, depending on your display's inputs; if you're using a portable Mac with only mini-DVI you'll need the adapter *and* a cable).
2. Connect the display and turn on the Mac. Launch the SwitchResX Control application (if all you're doing is setting up a custom configuration, you don't need the preference pane and thus don't need APE either).
3. In the SwitchResX Control application, select the display you want to configure in the "Settings of:" menu (if it isn't selected already) and click the "Display" tab. Then click the "Export DDC" button and select a location to save the file.
4. Using the text editor of your choice (TextEdit works, or you may have a preference for something else) open that file you just exported. You should see at least one Monitor Description Block (mine has two, labeled Descriptor #0 and Descriptor #1). This should give you a starting point. Mine looks like this:
Code:
Descriptor #0 is Timing definition:
Mode = 1920 x 540 @ 60Hz
H. Active...............1920 pixels
H. Blanking.............280 pixels
V. Active...............540 lines
V. Blanking.............22 lines
HSync Offset............88 pixels
HSync Pulse Width.......44 pixels
VSync Offset............2 lines
VSync Pulse Width.......5 lines
Pixel Clock.............74.25MHz
Horizontal freq.........33.75kHz
Vertical freq...........60.05Hz
H Image Size............16mm
V Image Size............9mm
H Border................0 pixels
V Border................0 lines
Interlaced
Sync: Digital separate with
* Positive vertical polarity
* Positive horizontal polarity
Note that the Mode is described as 1920 x 540 @ 60Hz, interlaced. It's actually 1920 x 1080, interlaced. I'm not sure why the vertical resolution is half what it should be there, but that's an important detail to note. If yours looks like it's half what it should be, you'll have to double it below. Use your common sense here.
The next step depends on what problem you need to solve. If you have a picture and you just need to adjust its position and/or size, you have the easier task and these instructions can help you. If you don't have a picture at all, the values provided by your display are invalid, and you'll have to do some research to find valid values (I can't help you find them). Search and/or ask on this forum, and also try Google.
5. Click on the "Custom" tab in the SwitchResX Control app. Click the "+" button to create a new resolution. Select "Custom" in the menu at the top (as opposed to "Scaled"). Start by entering the values in the Monitor Description Block you exported and opened in a text editor. The thing to realize as you get started is that all the numbers interact with each other, and as you change one value the application will recalculate the others if they're affected by the change. At a given resolution, the number of horizontal pixels and the number of vertical lines in each box always have to add to the same totals, and you can get those values by adding the "Active" and "Blanking" values in the Monitor Timing Block. To stick with my display, the horizontal pixel values must add up to 2200 (1920 (H. Active) + 280 (H. Blanking)), and the vertical line values must add up to 1124 (2 * (540 (V. Active) + 22 (V. Blanking))). The horizontal and vertical scan rates are calculated using those total values and the pixel clock value.
This is a very important concept to understand. With a constant pixel clock value and constant totals of Active + Blanking in both axes, the scan rates should also remain constant. If you have changed your active, porch, or sync width values and the scan rates don't add up, you won't get any picture. To use my display as an example again:
Code:
Pixel Clock 74.25 Mhz, Interlaced
Horizontal Vertical
Active: 1920 pixels 1080 lines
Frt. porch: 88 pixels 4 lines
Sync width: 44 pixels 10 lines
Back porch: 148 pixels 30 lines
Scan rate: 33.75 kHz 60.05 Hz
Note that 1920 + 88 + 44 + 148 = 2200, and 1080 + 4 + 10 + 30 = 1124.
6a. Adjust the values to fit your display (heh). This is the trial-and-error portion of the task, and is also slightly counterintuitive. You can get an idea of the adjustments you need to make if you use DisplayConfigX to display an "Image Size Test" (in the "Test Screen" tab). It'd make life easier if that were built into SwitchResX, but anyway:
If you need to shrink the visible area, decrease the Active value and increase the front or back porch values by the same amount. If you need to increase it, do the opposite. It helps to work incrementally (say, by multiples of 8) and save and test your work as you go along. Note that you may not actually need to restart the computer: I found that I could just unplug the HDMI cable from the back of my display and plug it back in, and the new settings would take effect. Remember to click "OK" (and not "Cancel") in the Timing Parameters window, then "Apply" in the main window, before you do this, or before you reboot. Otherwise your changes will be lost.
The porch values are counterintuitive. The horizontal "front porch" is the right edge of the screen (not the left as you might expect); the vertical "front porch" is the bottom edge of the screen. To move the image to the right, decrease the horizontal front porch and increase the horizontal back porch; to move it to the left increase the front porch and decrease the back porch. To move the image up, increase the vertical front porch and decrease the back porch, to move it down, decrease the front porch and increase the back porch. Again, it helps to save and restart or disconnect/reconnect the display to test these adjustments. The "Quick change" buttons in the bottom right-hand corner of the Timing Parameters window will adjust the porches for you, but note that in older versions the buttons were reversed (down means up and left means right, if you catch my drift). That's been fixed in version 3.7.6, apparently.
Also, remember as you adjust porch values that you shouldn't ever need to change the sync width.
6b. You know how I said you might not need to restart the computer? That's not actually 100% true for some displays. When I boot my computer with the display connected, the image is shifted to one side. If I subsequently change resolutions in software or disconnect and reconnect the display, the image will shift back. I got around this problem by first coming up with a configuration that was properly aligned after such a switch. After I had that I rebooted and estimated how far the image was shifted to one side. I then adjusted the porch values, saved, rebooted, and tested again. I now have two configurations, one for "fresh boot" that's adjusted for that sideways shift, and one I can use if I've changed the resolution for some reason. After all that, my default settings are now:
Code:
Pixel Clock 74.25 Mhz, Interlaced
Horizontal Vertical
Active: 1834 pixels 1024 lines
Frt. porch: 120 pixels 40 lines
Sync width: 44 pixels 10 lines
Back porch: 202 pixels 50 lines
Scan rate: 33.75 kHz 60.05 Hz
Again, 1834 + 120 + 44 + 202 = 2200, and 1024 + 40 + 10 + 50 = 1124. The Pixel Clock and both scan rates are the same as I found in the DDC.
Note also that if you have the same sideways shift problem, your two resolutions can't be identical (the system won't know which one to select). I made mine different by two pixels of horizontal resolution, which turns out to be rounded off in practice anyway (so one's 1832 x 1024, and the other's 1834 x 1024, with porch values adjusted accordingly, but they both look the same).
At this point you should be able to align your desktop to your display by iterating through these steps, applying your changes, and either disconnecting and reconnecting the display or rebooting.
7. If ever you go horribly wrong and go from having a misaligned picture to having no picture at all, you'll have to delete the override installed by SwitchResX. Boot the computer into Safe Mode, launch the SwitchResX Control app again, and click the "Factory settings" button, then the "Apply" button, and reboot.
And as a preemptive strike: no, I probably don't own your display and don't know the numbers for it offhand, and my consulting rate is $45/hr (really!).

Failure to fix my cable for over a year and a half! HELP!
Failure to fix my cable for over a year and a half! HELP!
I regretfully have to inform you that I might have to discontinue using Comcast, for the following reasons if I cannot et you to resolve these issues. It should be noted that this is something that I do not want to have to do. However, basically I have no choice.
1. Repeated and Constant Internet Issues and Poor TV Quality for over a year.
2. A substandard quality of service, just even compared to my next door neighbors who has Comcast. The service has issues daily. Not a week has gone bye without an issue either small or large.
3. Constant and repeated interrupt of service and an overall low quality of product. Time Outs, High Ping rates into the 100s and 200s, Cable Light Off, Poor Quality of TV picture, fuzzy, Digital Blocking even on non-digital channels with or without box, Occasional CB Radio chatter over interment connection <-(the odd one).
4. The constant run around from the employee’s at Comcast and Service Department who either are unable to fix my problem, or unwilling to fix my problem, or have no one qualified to fix the problem. The amount of service calls and tech support personal I have had come to my house and had to call is so numerous I cannot even recall the amount.
5. Paying full price for a substandard quality and product while others around me do not have too. Including my next door neighbor which does not seem to have an issue.
The Story-
I purchased this house over a year and a half ago. Note; I did think it was odd that the pervious owner of this house had Comcast TV, but a DSL internet connection (I know now why he had to do that). In a brief conversation with him recently when he was visiting our next door neighbors he told me of how he had the same issues and had to switch to DSL.
I am, and always have been an avid Cable user and in particular for the Internet as the Broadband just makes it so much more enjoyable. I used Time Warner Cable for over 7-years prior to “having to” use Comcast with great service and good connection and a highly enjoyable time over the internet playing games and surfing the web. I have to use the words :“having too”, as you are the only Broad Band Internet connection in my area currently (I moved to the Burbs, not the Boonies) so I still don’t understand why my choices are limited. Must be nice to have a Monopoly though. : ), and I am starting to think this maybe part of my problems and why nothing is being done.
In any case, my internet use is for entertainment only. Surfing the Web, playing video games, Online Classes, and whatnot. Nothing life treating, or a must have service and basically, fun for the family, not for frustration. I like to use Cable as I never have to worry about the line cutting out or losing connection. This used to be the case, but with Comcast I do have to worry about this, and it happens often. Simply put: it is NOT always ON as advertised, at least for me.
The Issues-
From day one, I have had nothing but repeated and constant issues with my internet service. I don’t even think I had Comcast a week before I had to make my fist service call. See I was used to another Cable service and silly me expected my cable to work. From there it was all downhill. I have had so many service calls its actually outlandish and would be funny if it was someone else. Its like a TV sitcom actually.
Each and every service call goes the same way. Tech comes out, stands around, recognizes the problem and leaves. No fixes mind you, and the reasons are below.
Recent History-
With the internet on the fritz again and only seeming to get worse I decided to call and have someone come out and check it. A preemptive strike on my part in other words, before it totally blew out like it does and taking days for it to come back on. I have been dealing with this for over a year getting kind of frustrated with the whole process.
I talk to the service department and they also see the issue (sporadic interrupt of service and poor quality). With so many problems and the list ever growing most likely on my report the service guy said he would send a Line Tech out to check my problem on Monday (the ninth).
I think to myself finally some progress and it only took a year, a real Line Tech my issue is sure to be solved.
Unfortunately, the apparent Line Tech does and did the same as every other tech sent to the house. Set around for 20 or so minutes futzing around with the computer. Notes the issue of single loss and poor TV quality makes some notes and says sign here. *take note of paragraph below about Line Tech.
Around Thursday, I call up the service department basically asking if and when my service problems will be fixed. With little shock and surprise I was told that nothing is scheduled the last service call the Line Tech was not really a Line Tech and I should have been called back and or at least informed of that a Line Tech was not scheduled to be sent. This is normal by the way.
The Phone Tech checked my service and found that an issue did exist and proceeded to tell my that he would advise his supervisor of the issue. He also stated that if someone had not called me by 6:00PM this coming Saturday, that I could call and he would expedite matters.
Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock
Saturday at 6:20PM I call up the service department, punch in my phone number and low and behold I’m sent immediately to the Clams Department instead of the Service Department LOL.
After explaining the issue to the Clams Department (my thinking is at this point is; why pay for it if its not working and they wont fix it) I am transferred to the Service Department after a brief expiation of the issue. I guess I am a little late with my bill, but can you blame me?
The Run Around-
Talking to a new service persona again which is the same with ever tech sent to the house (Never the same one twice). Apparently nothing is on my report about this call I made earlier, or he does not note it.
The new service tech while helpful and curious taking the brunt of my frustrations at this point goes through the same procedures that I have been through so many times now I know them by hart. I acknowledge the fact ahead of time to myself that my tone although frustrated is nothing personal, and the service tech should not take it personally. Its just that at this point I’m beyond frustrated. I try to be as understanding and curious as I can while he tries to help me.
I explain the repeated problems and what is going on. In this instants the service tech mentions something about some service package (come kind of other signal maybe being sent to the modem).
At the time my internet is somewhat working with only a few time outs and just above normal pings so I cant really blame him for not seeing an issue. I’m mainly calling just to find out why I didn’t receive a phone call, or get another appointment to have this checked into.
My service was cutting out right before I called, which is why I called. The service tech just happened to check my service while it was working for 20 or so minutes. : P
Although, I am sure the Tech knew what he was doing and seemed very knowledgeable and probably thought he had resolved an issue that has been plaguing me for over a year now I knew nothing had changed. (this has happened before by the way same exact procedure in fact, and must be part of the training).
I’m trying to hold my volume down and not get too upset. Its not the techs fault and probably does not know I have gone through this procedure before. I want to try to explain this but he is busy trying to work his magic. I remain calm, but I even made the statement that I would probably be calling him back in 15-minutes. I try to end the conversation and phone call as politely as I can. Its not his fault, his just trying to do a job.
Anthony
Case Number: 053300005
Well not even five minutes later you will never guess what………… Pings start dropping and the internet is cutting out on me.
The Problem-
The problem has been defined as a Line Issue, and an On and Off interrupt of service. At this point even the TV is being affected. From the first time I called (like over a year ago) the issue is defined to me as an On OFF issue.
The Problem trying to get this fix-
You apparently have no Line Techs.
The Pole near my house is apparently a Forbidden Area that no one must go near. LOL
You cannot get these people to go near it apparently. They only classify the problem and go away never to be seen nor heard from again.
Now honestly I can understand with employee issues seeing this happening from time to time, but not for over a year and with service calls up in the tens and twenties…..
Worst of All-
I think the worst part of all of this is I have become so used to the poor and substandard quality of service. So used to it that I only call or complain when its totally out or is visually not working correctly and can be tested. I don’t call and complain because its not working as Advertised, because in fact it really never did or does.
I also, don’t call a lot of the times because of dealing with the service department. If its working at that moment they cannot define the problems. Not really anyone’s fault as it looks like its working even if the pings are in the 200 range or currently no time outs are accruing. I mean at least its working, and they say Speed is not Guaranteed anyway.
The Forgotten and Unanswered Questions-
I don’t know about the rest of you but sometimes while talking to people I forget to ask questions or the question does not come to mind until the conversation is over with. In any case, the Phone Service Tech said that what he did should have been done along time ago.
However, if my cable was somehow magically fixed by what he did I still have these questions;
1.What happened to my Service Call and why did no one call my by 6:00PM today?
-I waited around for the call actually, and I really would like to get this issue resolved.
2. Why is my TV picture still bad?
3. Although my internet seemed to be working today and only cut out once for a brief period of time why did the supposed fix of the Phone Tech double and even triple my pings, and still occasionally cuts out?
This is usually when I can tell its going to start acting up as the interrupts become more frequent and growing in intensity and length. I always have them anyway I am used to it.
However, on the other hand, I am already seeing time outs and interrupts and should I be paying full price for a lower quality of service compared just to my next door neighbor ?
This is a very hard question for me to ask myself. I like using Cable rather than a Dialup Service, but there is also the whole principle to the matter as well.
*Should I pay full price for a service that is substandard to everyone else’s?
*Should I pay full price for the same connecting I used to get a discount for, because of the poor quality?
*Should I call and complain everyday and turn this into a daily ritual? I cant keep taking time off from work to wait for someone who does nothing except stand around and futz with the computer for 20mintes and recognize the issue.
*Should I have to complain so much and go through the process which is like pulling teeth to get you guys to do something about it?
Maybe this is all my fault, and I am doing something wrong. What do I have to do to get this fixed? I don’t want to have to get DSL, so someone please help me. What am I doing wrong. I cannot keep taking time off from work to have someone come out only to recognize I have an issue and never fix it.
To Whomever at Comcast:
Is it so wrong of me to want, after a year of having repeated service calls with no resolution to the issue to ask, and request, that the cable service provided to me is the same as everyone else’s?
If you handed noticed-
Well if you haven’t noticed by now I am really tying to get this situation fixed and resolved. Mostly because, it is to the point where I am going to have to stop using Comcast and get DSL, or AOL or something because its more reliable. Which I really don’t want to do in the first place cable is supposed to be reliable and always on and faster.
A little over a year not and I am running out of options though.
Seriously Cant anyone help?

An eventful day-
Just a few minutes ago, got a phone call from the Comcast Cable GUY (2:20pm). He then Says he’s been working on trying to find the problem from 1 O’clock. Apparently, and maybe the case, (it was a brief conversation and he will get back to me later) but maybe some part has gone bad somewhere and he said he was waiting on a phone call from someone else.
In any case, he said that they are trying to clear up the problem and that its been running better sense the Jan/14.….? Not here it hasn’t. LOL We also had a brief discussion about how due to my repeated use of the internet that maybe I notices this more than other people do. My next door neighbor does not seem to have any issues last time I talk to them. But the guy said someone who lives on Broadway (few streets over) has been having issues too so maybe its this part.
I said; So I should see some improvement today… silence…and a brief pause….. After I find out what the problem is Ill come over and discuss it with you so you know exactly what is going on.
I do have a feeling I am going to be told this is going to take weeks to fix or at least awhile. Apparently a Part is needed maybe. Ill have to wait until the guy shows and gives me a full explanation though.
I called my wife and told her of the event and she is pretty emphatic about returning the TV cable box as the TV picture is better without it and she only really looks at the local or 3-like 70 anyway. She was like “Bad Part?” well its been bad for over a year then! We should get a refund for the whole year then… Sorry Comcast she is on a Refund Kick… I just want it to work.
Part/4-
The Tech Supervisor Mark, showed up at my door and tried to explain the issues. I felt kind of bad cause I probably know he got Chewed on along with some other people probably. At least they sent someone older and who looked like he had more experience and knew what he was talking about and could actually find the issue.
I tried to be as apologetic as I could, and tried to explain that its just because this has been such a persistent issue over the past year and a half, and I have had way too many service calls for this not to be fix by now. I even went so far as to explain; it’s a new year and we are trying to get this problem finally fixed. I was also quick to mention how nice it was outside and that at least it was a good day to run around outside. I would have felt really bad if it was raining or snowing out, but it was a nice day probably upper 60s and sunny.
We briefly discussed the issues and he said he and some others (I guess) had been working t the Head End fixing some issues… Which actually might have fixed my TV picture, seems better right now currently though. Currently NO digital Blocking on any channels currently, but as I said, it’s a sporadic issue popping up one day and going away the next or the problem lasting weeks and months then nothing for a few days and weeks.
Mark, tried to explain that maybe the problem that I might been having (apparently along with a few others) was that a Temporary Line was connected on the MAIN. Basically 1” Main Line Cable run it to cable like that’s in your house (cant remember but off hand I think its 5, 10 or 15 gauge cable) and back to 1” Main Line Cable. It was all a little technical, I just nodded and said yes, and at least you might have found the issue right?
He didn’t know how long that had been like that, and I said; probably for over three years as the previous owner had issues too, or at least sense I had bought this house about a year and a half.
I went so far as to showed him some print screens of some of the issues I have been having, and I know he noticed all the yellow recites in my computer room. : P Unfortunately, I deleted all my old Print Screen saves when the guy last Monday (ninth) showed up and said he would fix the line, or at least track it down. I only had one from the previous night to show him or something.
In any case, while discussing this Mark, said the guy that came out the other Monday never filled out a work order or something like that. I basically tried to explain that is the kind of thing I have been dealing with for little over a year. Tech after Tech after Tech; as I looked at all the yellow recites on top of my computer desk.
Mark also, basically said, I should have pretty fast cable considering I only have two nodes and then basically it runs back to Comcast, or something like that. However, that Temporary Line is probably causing the issues. No definite date on a fix, but maybe 24-hours or a few days, but the matter had been expedited or something like that. *Cross fingers*
That’s the real issue with this cable, its sporadic, and comes and goes. I’m pretty sure they are going to try to replace that line, but you know what….. I have heard that before actually. I have actually heard that for over a year now. Even the expedited part. : P
Mark tried to thank me for pointing out this issue, and made some comment about how its actually helping them….but………. I can kind of tell he had been getting yelled at or something by someone. It was not obvious, but I could tell.
I felt kind of bad about that, but… That happens when you work for someone, and the people who work for you (below you) don’t do what they are supposed too.
I kind of tried to briefly explain to Mark about the issue again and that usually by the time a Supervisor gets out the issue has cleared up for a time….. Odd how that works by the way. But basically I got the old…well it looks like its working ok now and you should have seen some improvements over the last few days… thingy..
We started talking about that Temporary Line being connected again and I walked Mark to the door and we said our goodbyes and I apologized again for being such a pain in the about this whole matter.
Part/5-
I called the wife and told here about everything. The first thing she asked is; is it fixed? She is still not happy especially when I tired to explain what the issue was and probably was and that at least maybe they found it.
I have no idea of what kind of onward action maybe on my part in the end if things don’t get better. Its like trying to argue with the old Bell Telephone Company when that was the only phone company in the US and no other phone companies existed.
I hope to one day, be a satisfied Comcast Customer, but to date I have yet to feel that way, at least with the Internet in any case and that’s only because I really don’t watch TV.
I am also, hoping when, and if, some LINE is replaced somewhere that I see some drastic improvement along with apparently a lot of other people in my community and a lot less issues also. I still don’t believe that I should be just setting for; Ok well at least its ON now, or the light has finally stopped flashing.
All a SNAFU?
That’s highly questionable at this point, and I have to be honest with you. This is going on a year and a half of dealing with this. This SNAFU, could be the case, but it seems more like policy, or a standing Comcast Company Directive actually if you want my honest opinion. I don’t know what the Maintenance Budget is for my area, but you might want to consider doubling it, or tripling it.
I really don’t care actually when this is fixed, as long as the issue is fixed. I cannot make a final judgment until it is finally fixed and go on and try to take further action onward from that point.
Thus far I have only been given an explanation. I don’t know if anyone at Comcast realize exactly how many times I have had an explanation given too me though (either on the phone with a service tech or from an actual person “tech” at my house). The list is extensive of the actual explanations I have had over the past year and a half, but my favorite one is; squirrels.
Part/6-
We are still waiting on phone calls from people who said they would call us back today and check what’s going on. Both of us, (me and the wife) are slowly losing momentum again as this whole issue gets dragged out for weeks and weeks at a time.
She is tired and I’m tired too, and Comcast is warring us down again it looks like. My wife was like; “do I have to call them, I really didn’t have a good day anyway and I’m tired. They were supposed to call us anyway, lets wait.”
I tried to make a phone call (half heartedly, I myself as I’m tired too) as Carla (at my local Comcast office) wanted to know how the service call went, but after repeated attempts and being shuffled off to Billing, and then being put on hold : P ……and its actually getting close to dinner time. Maybe after dinner if I don’t just fall asleep first.
So, in the end its still hang on for a few more days, and or, wait to have the problem fixed. Your guess is as good as mine, people. More Smoke and Mirrors or an actual Fix. Your guess is as good as mine.
As for me, I’m going to bed, I’m worn out. Maybe a new line to replace that temporary one, maybe just saying I might get a new line to replace that temporary one.
The Saga continues. Maybe it will end someday. -
This is the message that I get when I try to open a project created in PPro CS4 in CS5.
"This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview present file or codec could be associated wiht this sequence type."
It shows all of the media loading at the bottom and confoming of files but then send me back to the welcome screen after I close the message.
Any suggestions on why CS5 is not playing nice with my CS4 projects?Sounds logical but I completely turned off the firewall, restarted the computer, and still no luck.
By the way, as a preemptive strike against the posts that will ask me about being an old computer or having a ton of weird codecs - the computer was just built, everything is very clean and CS4 runs like a charm.
Any other suggestions? -

Sandy,
I've viewed the link you posted, but that method does not seem to apply to my particular phone. Please consider the version numbers of my phone which I posted above. When I view the Options for Backup Assistant - cancelling my subscription or uninstalling is not an option. The only available Backup Assistant options are:
* Set Schedule
* View Mobile #
* Change PIN
* Help
* About
I suspect this is because Backup Assistant was pre-installed on my phone when I received it.
As a preemptive strike to what I'm guessing you will suggest next, I do not believe performing a "Restore Phone" (a.k.a. Factory Reset) on my phone will allow me to uninstall Backup Assistant either. I believe I saw a post where another LG Cosmos 3 user had tried this, and Backup Assistant was there even after the Restore Phone.
Regardless, I like your enthusiasm. I agree, let's fix this!
Thanks,

How to implement AZAX call for a input field in webdynpro java.
Hello everyone,
I want to make a AZAX call , when I click on the input field.Anybody has already implemented this earlier, plz let me know how to do this.
Thanks,
SrikantaUndo/Redo is a pain in the neck. If I recall correctly, I usually use a javax.swing.undo.CompoundEdit to group smaller edits. Not sure if this will work but you might try starting a compound edit when a user strikes a key and ending it after a certain amount of time passes without a keystroke. This will allow rapid bursts of typing to be grouped as a single edit.

Synchronized method's block list implementation
In an object with synchronized methods, the OS maintains the list of blocked objects waiting to enter synchronzied methods. For this reason, I'm guesing, the Java spec seems to state the selection of these blocked objects as "arbitrary."
I am trying to determine that there is no risk of stavation in this blocked pool of threads. For example, a FIFO implementation of the blocked-object list would guarantee that all objects eventually entered their appropriate synchronized method.
Does anyone know for certain what blocked object selection algorithm is present on a JVM running on a Win32 platform? On SunOS 5.6? I believe the former uses a priority-based, preemptive thread scheduling with a round-robin-style time quantum to prevent starvation. Not sure what the latter uses.
Any ideas? Thanks!

As a general rule, you can never depend on the underlying threading model. The trend is to use the native threading model but that is not guaranteed by the specification.
I am trying to determine that there is no risk of
stavation in this blocked pool of threads. For
example, a FIFO implementation of the blocked-object
list would guarantee that all objects eventually
entered their appropriate synchronized method.
When a thread attempts to acquire a lock, it only checks to see if another thread already holds the lock, and not if another thread is already waiting for the lock. Therefore you should always consider the possibility that starvation can occur.

selection algorithm is present on a JVM running on a
Win32 platform? On SunOS 5.6? I believe the former

starvation. Not sure what the latter uses.
Again, you should avoid depending on the native threading model because the specification does not guarantee that the java threading model is going to behave the same way.
To guarantee that each thread can acquire the lock you will need to develop a lock that has a queue associated with it. When a thread attempts to acquire the lock it is placed in a queue waiting until it is the first element in the queue. When the thread releases the lock it removes itself from the queue and notifies the other threads that are waiting.
When using a queued lock you will not necessarily need to use the synchronized keyword on the method or block since the lock will take care of synchronization when a thread attempts to acquire the lock. -
Are threads in the application server preemptive?
Are threads in the application server preemptive or non-preemptive? That is do
they automatically yield to other threads running in the application server after
they have run for a certain amount of time or do they only yield when certian
points in the code are reached (eg when they have completed, when they reach a
remote call or when they explictly call yield()).Green threads (way back in 1.1.8 and so on) was Unix only, and non-preemptive.
It was also very lumpy and unreliable. Old threading tutorials used to recommend
calling yield() and suitable points in your code - just like Windows 3.0 all over
again.
But all current JVM implementations use OS threading, and are pre-emptive (but
of course that doesn't stop them being blocked due to synchronization or I/O etc...)

Web Service Implementation Heavily Based on The Singleton Pattern
Dear all
I have recently joined a project that is 2/3 through development of a medium sized application providing synchronous and asynchronous implementations for a number of Use Cases exposed as Web Services. The design is one that I have not come across before and am keen to understand.
Web Service calls enter the application through a singleton, which in other respects is a POJO. This class manages a number of instance variable references to other classes responsible for implementing each Web Service method, including data access using Hibernate. Since the top level singleton class is, well, a singleton, I understand this to mean that all of the other classes maintained as instance variables will themselves only ever have one object instantiated (assuming of course that no other thread of execution instantiates them except our singleton WS entry point). To my way of thinking this turns the whole of the Web Service implementation into a kind of singleton application. This strikes me as a procedural programming idiom that happens to be implemented using Java, since Objects with state are not being used. I have not yet asked the question "why?" of my new colleagues but I would like to ask you what the consequences of this design are likely to be. Particularly considering that this application will be expected to handle concurrent servicing of Web Service requests - and so be thread-safe. Can it be thread safe? Are there likely performance implications? Forgive my ignorance is what I describe known as a Singleton Web Service?
Regards
DavidWeb Service calls enter the application through a
singleton, which in other respects is a POJO. I'm confused about this sentence. Is the application somehow separate from the web service? Is the application acting as a service to this web service? How is the application being hosted? Does it run in a container as well?
This
class manages a number of instance variable
references to other classes responsible for
implementing each Web Service method, including data
access using Hibernate. If all the references are stateless, preferably interfaced-based, you aren't likely to have thread issues.
Since the top level
singleton class is, well, a singleton, I understand
this to mean that all of the other classes maintained
as instance variables will themselves only ever have
one object instantiated (assuming of course that no
other thread of execution instantiates them except
our singleton WS entry point). To my way of thinking
this turns the whole of the Web Service
implementation into a kind of singleton application.You keep using web service and application. Are we just talking about a web service implementation here?
This strikes me as a procedural programming idiom
that happens to be implemented using Java, since
Objects with state are not being used. You are correct, sir. If services are stateless, and they should be, then they aren't exactly rich objects with state and behavior. It's very procedural, indeed.
I have not
yet asked the question "why?" of my new colleagues
but I would like to ask you what the consequences of
this design are likely to be. Particularly
considering that this application will be expected
to handle concurrent servicing of Web Service
requests - and so be thread-safe. Can it be thread
safe? If the web service is indeed stateless, then it should be thread-safe.
Are there likely performance implications?Maybe. Best to measure if those arise to see if the web service is the cause.
Forgive my ignorance is what I describe known as a
Singleton Web Service?I don't know if it's been given a pattern name. If it's a Singleton, then that's true. If it's a service, that applies. If it's deployed on the web, I'd say the label fits.

Query Design/Implementation Question
Hi,
I have to query the database based on different input values from a JSP page. So, A user can query the database based on one or more fields. My question to you is what would be an efficient way to write the queries or implement this using JDBC. Should I write PreparedStatements for every possible combination of the query fields. Should I write stored procedures ? I had problems with the PreparedStatement earlier and I still do, so just to keep my developement going I wrote a stored procedure. If you read my previous post you can read the whole story.
So, this is more of a design question. Let the ideas flow.
Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks,
PrasoonHi Justin,
This I got from an earlier post on this forum and you said that doing this was a very bad idea. Why ? I am doing this just as a workaround to my current problem.
So, basically I would have a temporary table for every query field in my JSP page. This table I would create in separate stored procedures and then finally do an AND to get the result ?
This feels dirty to me too but can u suggest a better way ?
Thanks,
Prasoon

Pls, Help me with the folloing questions:
1. Is it possible to declare and use temporary tables in a stored procedure? How?
2. Is it possible to return a result set, or recordset from a stored procedure? How?
These might be a very basic one, but as a beginer in Oracle Databse, I am having hard time to find out good source of technical materials.

1) You certainly can declare and use temporary tables in a stored procedure. On the other hand, doing so strikes me as a manifestly bad idea, so I would strongly caution you not to. If you explain a bit about what you're trying to accomplish, I'm sure there are better ways.
If you did want to create temporary tables in a stored procedure, you'd have to use dynamic sql, i.e.
execute immediate 'create temporary table foo...'
2) You can return resultsets from a stored procedure by declaring an OUT parameter which is a REF CURSOR.

Training and Event Management Implementation based on competencies
Dear Friends,
My client is going ahead for Training and Event Managment Implementation. They have a basic requirement to start with and that is :
1) They have done competency mapping for all its employees and they want that the competencies of each employees(along with the skill levels) to be recorded in the system and that has to be the starting point of using Training and Event Management module.
2) They want, if the competencies can flow based on Job/ Position.
3) Some identifier to the competencies, whther it has flowed from Appraisal or any other sources in the Final Training Needs.
Kindly provide me help, as to how I will be able to achieve that and in what Infotypes the data pertaining to Training and Event Managment will be stored.
If u all can kindly share with me the User Manuals and Configuration Docs of Training and Event Management, it will be of great help.
Thank you all.Hi,
Competencies can be stored as qualifications in PD and then by activation of PD PA intergration can be seen from pa30 infotype 24.
Qualifications can be stored against a Job/Position and are called as the Requirements. They are seen as a separate Tab and to which ever position the person is linked to the corresponding qualifications of the position will appear in the requirements tab.
You can maintain the proficiency and a note along with the qualification when assigned to a person.
Also Appraisals can have qualifications in the template rather than criteria and criteria groups.
Also after training is completed during the follow up we can create an appraisal and transfer the qualifications or simply transfer the qualifications to the employee.

Divya
