Problem with 'sort and filter' feature of embed codes in Excel Online Web App

So my question has to do with the Excel Online feature where you can share a spreadsheet and embed it in a website with the option of allowing users to sort and filter the data. (The option is under the "Interaction" heading.)
One of the options if you look closely is "Let people sort and filter" which is not checked off. In the embed code you can see "AllowInteractivity=False". The problem is that when I check "Let people sort and filter"
the embed code changes completely - going from:
<iframe width="700" height="900" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=dontworryaboutitEDFD383&resid=6BAA9620AEDFD383%21107&authkey=AFj3X8xq2U3IfDE&em=2&wdAllowInteractivity=False&Item='Sheet1'!A1%3AI32"></iframe>
to:
<iframe width="700" height="900" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=dontworryaboutitEDFD383&resid=6BAA9620AEDFD383%21107&authkey=AFj3X8xq2U3IfDE&em=2&Item='Sheet1'!A1%3AI32"></iframe>
If I manually change 'false' to 'true' that doesn't do the trick so I'm not sure what to try next.
Any thoughts?

Problem with sorting and filtering of table

Hello,
using VC 7.1 SP5 I have created [this|http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/2460/screenshotsr0.png] model. The webservice returns a collection of structured elements. The table is meant to display values of top-level attributes. This works as expected.
However, the table cannot be sorted or filtered. What is the reason for this? How can I fix that?
I tried to store the result of the web service in a data bridge. That did not succeed.
Best regards
Alexander

Hi Natty,
How are you trying to sort it?
I want to be able to sort the table by clicking on the table column headers. Furthermore, I want be able to filter the table by using the built-in table feature. However, table sorting and filtering seem to be disabled for this particular table, whereas other tables in my model provide the desired features.
Best regards
Alexander

Problem with static and nonstatic objects in same code?

Hi everyone, I am working on a project and I kept running into an odd problem where my code would compile but when I went to run the code I would get an exception. I finally narrowed my problem down to a small fragment. Here is an example.
class Mut{
static Mut Fido = new Mut();
Mut Sammy = new Mut();
public static void main(String args[]){
This piece of code will compile but when I run it on an WindowsXP machine the JRE tells me there is an exception at line 3. If I change the code to this:
class Mut{
static Mut Fido = new Mut();
static Mut Sammy = new Mut();
public static void main(String args[]){
The code runs fine without any problems. My question is: why can't I create a static object and a nonstatic object in the same class? Is this a certain feature of JAVA I don't understand or is this a blackbox problem with XP? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Vance

Is the exception stack trace what is displayed in the command-line window? If it is here is what is displayed(This is a lot):

Problem with IE and pubblishedIntoWall

Hi to all,
   i have a problem with InternetExplorer and CallBack
In my flex code i have :
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("pubblishedIntoWall", pubblishedIntoWall);
The javascript code:
function pubblishedIntoWallCarrello() {
        document.getElementById("composer").pubblishedIntoWall(1)
In both Firefox and Chrome the javascript works in the right way.
In internet explorer the function pubblishedIntoWall is not called.
Have some one got an idea of this problem?
Thanks for your time

Problem with sorting involving user defined types and reports

Hello!
I have a problem with sorting involving Reports and user defined objet types.
I have created the following object types
CREATE TYPE type_balance_compte AS OBJECT
NUM_CPT_SEQ NUMBER(8)
,NUM_CPT VARCHAR2(35)
CREATE TYPE TB_type_balance_compte IS TABLE OF type_balance_compte
At the reports query I use:
SELECT ...
FROM table(cast(test_pkg.balance_comptes(:P_num_soc) as TB_type_balance_compte)) c
The procedure balance_comptes will retrieve data from various tables into the type.
The report is ordered by a certain string field that usually contains characters and numbers.
I need to have numbers always before characters, meaning the data should come in this order in the report for example:
0
1
A
B
So, before the report query, I have placed a call to DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS( 'nls_sort', 'binary' ) to guarantee NLS_SORT in case it is originally set to FRENCH.
The problem here is that even after this call, I have the report ordered like this
A
B
0
1
And not the numbers before as it should be.
To try and find out where the problem was, I have created a table to use instead of the object type described above. In this case, it worked correctly. So all I know by now is that is has something to do with the type or cast, but what exactly? Does anybody now how to solve this without using a table?
Many thanks
Ariadne

I have placed a call to DBMS_SESSION.SET_NLS( 'nls_sort', 'binary' ) why not order directly then:
SQL> select *
      from table (sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll ('A', 1, '5', 'C', 'a'))
order by nlssort (column_value, 'NLS_SORT = binary')
COLUMN_VALUE
1
5
A
C
a
5 rows selected.?

Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

I have a problem with my Pages
My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
fonts are missing...
Is there a workaround.
I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
I need help
thanks a zillion

The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
Good luck,

Performance problems with XMLTABLE and XMLQUERY involving relational data

Hello-
Is anyone out there using XMLTABLE or XMLQUERY with more than a toy set of data? I am running into serious performance problems tyring to do basic things such as:
* Combine records in 10 relational tables into a single table of XMLTYPE records using XMLTABLE. This hangs indefinitely for any more than 800 records. Oracle has confirmed that this is a problem and is working on a fix.
* Combine a single XMLTYPE record with several relational code tables into a single XMLTYPE record using XMLQUERY and ora:view() to insert code descriptions after each code. Performance is 10 seconds for 10 records (terrible) passing a batch of records , or 160 seconds for one record (unacceptable!). How can it take 10 times longer to process 1/10th the number of records? Ironically, the query plan says it will do a full table scan of records for the batch, but an index access for the one record passed to the XMLQUERY.
I am rapidly losing faith in XML DB, and desparately need some hints on how to work around these performance problems, or at least some assurance that others have been able to get this thing to perform.

<Note>Long post, sorry.</Note>
First, thanks for the responses above. I'm impressed with the quality of thought put into them. (Do the forum rules allow me to offer rewards? :) One suggestion in particular made a big performance improvement, and I’m encouraged to hear of good performance in pure XML situations. Unfortunately, I think there is a real performance challenge in two use cases that are pertinent to the XML+relational subject of this post and probably increasingly common as XML DB usage increases:
•     Converting legacy tabular data into XML records; and
•     Performing code table lookups for coded values in XML records.
There are three things I want to accomplish with this post:
•     Clarify what we are trying to accomplish, which might expose completely different approaches than I have tried
•     Let you know what I tried so far and the rationale for my approach to help expose flaws in my thinking and share what I have learned
•     Highlight remaining performance issues in hopes that we can solve them
What we are trying to accomplish:
•     Receive a monthly feed of 10,000 XML records (batched together in text files), each containing information about an employee, including elements that repeat for every year of service. We may need to process an annual feed of 1,000,000 XML records in the future.
•     Receive a one-time feed of 500,000 employee records stored in about 10 relational tables, with a maximum join depth of 2 or 3. This is inherently a relational-to-XML process. One record/second is minimally acceptable, but 10 records/sec would be better.
•     Consolidate a few records (from different providers) for each employee into a single record. Given the data volume, we need to achieve a minimum rate of 10 records per second. This may be an XML-only process, or XML+relational if code lookups are done during consolidation.
•     Allow the records to be viewed and edited, with codes resolved into user-friendly descriptions. Since a user is sitting there, code lookups done when a record is viewed (vs. during consolidation) should not take more than 3 seconds total. We have about 20 code tables averaging a few hundred rows each, though one has 450,000 rows.
As requested earlier, I have included code at the end of this post for example tables and queries that accurately (but simply) replicate our real system.
Why we did and why:
•     Stored the source XML records as CLOBS: We did this to preserve the records exactly as they were certified and sent from providers. In addition, we always access the entire XML record as a whole (e.g., when viewing a record or consolidating employee records), so this storage model seemed like a good fit. We can copy them into another format if necessary.
•     Stored the consolidated XML employee records as “binary XML”. We did this because we almost always access a single, entire record as a whole (for view/edit), but might want to create some summary statistics at some point. Binary XML seemed the best fit.
•     Used ora:view() for both tabular source records and lookup tables. We are not aware of any alternatives at this time. If it made sense, most code tables could be pre-converted into XML documents, but this seemed risky from a performance standpoint because the lookups use both code and date range constraints (the meaning of codes changes over time).
•     Stored records as XMLTYPE columns in a table with other key columns on the table, plus an XMLTYPE metadata column. We thought this would facilitate pulling a single record (or a few records for a given employee) quickly. We knew this might be unnecessary given XML indexes and virtual columns, but were not experienced with those and wanted the comfort of traditional keys. We did not used XMLTYPE tables or the XML Repository for documents.
•     Used XMLTABLE to consolidate XML records by looping over each distinct employee ID in the source batch. We also tried XMLQUERY and it seems to perform about the same. We can achieve 10 to 20 records/second if we do not do any code lookups during consolidation, just meeting our performance requirement, but still much slower than expected.
•     Used PL/SQL with XMLFOREST to convert tabular source records to XML by looping over distinct employee IDs. We tried this outside PL/SQL both with XMLFOREST and XMLTABLE+ora:view(), but it hangs in both cases for more than 800 records (a known/open issue). We were able to get it to work by using an explicit cursor to loop over distinct employee IDs (rather than processing all records at once within the query). The performance is one record/second, which is minimally acceptable and interferes with other database activity.
•     Used XMLQUERY plus ora:view() plus XPATH constraints to perform code lookups. When passing a single employee record, the response time ranges from 1 sec to 160 sec depending on the length of the record (i.e., number of years of service). We achieved a 5-fold speedup using an XMLINDEX (thank you Marco!!). The result may be minimally acceptable, but I’m baffled why the index would be needed when processing a single XML record. Other things we tried: joining code tables in the FOR...WHERE clauses, joining code tables using LET with XPATH constraints and LET with WHERE clause constraints, and looking up codes individually via JDBC from the application code at presentation time. All those approaches were slower. Note: the difference I mentioned above in equality/inequality constraint performance was due to data record variations not query plan variations.
What issues remain?
We have a minimally acceptable solution from a performance standpoint with one very awkward PL/SQL workaround. The performance of a mixed XML+relational data query is still marginal IMHO, until we properly utilize available optimizations, fix known problems, and perhaps get some new query optimizations. On the last point, I think the query plan for tabular lookups of codes in XML records is falling short right now. I’m reminded of data warehousing in the days before hash joins and star join optimization. I would be happy to be wrong, and just as happy for viable workarounds if I am right!
Here are the details on our code lookup challenge. Additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’ll try to post more detail on the legacy table conversion challenge later.

The plan shows the nested loop access that slows things down.
By contrast, a functionally-similar SQL query on relational data will use a hash join and perform 10x to 100x faster, even for a single record. There seems to be no way for the optimizer to see the regularity in the XML structure and perform a corresponding optimization in joining the code tables. Not sure if registering a schema would help. Using structured storage probably would. But should that be necessary given we’re working with a single record?

With an xmlindex, the same query above runs in about 1 second, so is about 5x faster (0.2 sec/lookup), which is almost good enough. Is this the answer? Or is there a better way? I’m not sure why the optimizer wants to scan the code tables and index into the (one) XML record, rather than the other way around, but maybe that makes sense if the optimizer wants to use the same general plan as when the WHERE clause constraint is relaxed to multiple records.

Am I on the right path, or am I totally using the wrong approach? I thought about using XSLT but was unsure how to reference the code tables.
I’ve done the best I can constraining the main record to a single row passed to the XMLQUERY. Given Mark’s post (thanks!) should I be joining and constraining the code tables in the SQL WHERE clause too? That’s going to make the query much more complicated, but right now we’re more concerned about performance than complexity.

Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated by itself and now outlook and address book have each over 340,000. What should I do?

Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated entries and have now 340,000. I reinstalled microsoft office and, thus, outlook, and reinstalled mac OS X system and applications. While I managed to delete outlook contacts so that I can re-sync with my blackberry, the contacts at Mac Address Book were not deleted and still have over 340,000 entries. I do not mind deleting all contacts since I have back up, but I have not been able to delete them. Also, when I go at Address Book and try to delete or merge duplicated entries, the system takes forever and never ends because of such large amount of entries. Worse, when I do so I run out of RAM memory.
My Macbook pro is just 2 months old.
What should I do? Is there a way to delete my Mac Address Book without having the problem above?
Many thanks
Regis

[SOLVED] Problem with modules and udev

Hi everybody,
I've been configuring Arch on my new laptop the last few days and today as I was going to perform the first backup, I noticed that my external HDD does not show up in /dev/ when I plug it in. I figured it could be a problem with udev and the fact that in my /etc/rc.conf I use MOD_AUTOLOAD="no" with an explicit list of MODULES generated with hwdetect (as suggested in the wiki).
To "solve" this I just changed MOD_AUTOLOAD to "yes" and after a reboot everything worked fine.
My questions are:
1) Is it possible to keep that feature (udev detects usb drives and creates the corresponding /dev/sdX) while having MOD_AUTOLOAD="no" ? What is/are the appropriate module(s) I have to put in my MODULES array ?
2) What other such "basic" MODULES could be very useful that hwdetect does not tell about.
Sorry for any English mistakes (I'm not a native speaker) and thank you in advance for your help,
yms

1) Thank you, it works perfectly.
2) Yes I know the question is weird. The thing is I have no precise idea at the moment and I just wanted to know if there are other very widely used features such as the one described in 1) that hwdetect ommits and that has to be loaded in MODULES.
Anyway, thank you very much, I consider this matter [solved]

Problem with storing and retriving a different langauge font in mysql

hi,
i have problem with storing and retriving a different character set in
mysql database ( for example storing kannada font text in database)
it simply store what ever typed in JTextField in database in the
formate ??????????? and it showing ???????? .
please what can i do this problem.
thanks
daya

MySQL does not know about what type of Font you use or store. that is applicatioon specific. All it knows is the character set that you are storing and the data type and data. THere are something you should know when working with database and Java:
1. make sure you know what character set is used for the database table.
2. make sure you know what character set is used by Java (default to UTF-8 ..
sort off - there are few character that it cannot save). You can enforce the
character set being sent to the database by the String's getBytes(String charsetName) method.
3. make sure the application you use to view the table use the correct character set
if it use a different character set, then any character that it does not recogized
will be replaced with a quetion mark '?'....eventhough the data is correct.

Problem with ssh and bash-completion

I and a co-worker are having a weird problem with ssh and bash-completion. We have a local config in .ssh/config with hosts we connect everyday. An example:
host foo
hostname foo.org
user foobar
host foobar
hostname foobar.org
user foobar
When we try to type
ssh foo<tab><tab>b<tab>
the console just freeze and we can't type anything, everything we type is ignored, but after about 30 seconds the host is completed.
This works a some time ago, so some upgrade make this happen. Anyone can reproduce this?

Problems with Mail and Safari

Hi,
I'm running OS 10.11 and am having some consistent problems with Mail and Safari on my MacPro Dual 2.66. Here they are:
Sometimes, for no apparent reason, selecting these applications from the dock no longer opens the application (or a new window if already opened), but causes them to be revealed in the finder.
In Safari, when this problem occurs, another symptom seems to be that new windows will ONLY open in a new tab, even though I have preferences set to open links in a new window. If I click on a bookmark within a folder in the bookmark toolbar, Safari will open ALL the bookmarks in the folder in new tabs!!
In Mail, when I open my Inbox, clicking on various messages will highlight (in blue) ALL the messages I'm clicking on, instead of simply displaying the highlighted message in the reader.
The only way to get things back to normal is to reboot my machine, which is getting to be a total drag, especially since this seems to happen fairly often.
One other thing that may be related- if my screen saver is running, and I move the mouse to go to an active screen, the computer will "freeze." It stays like this indefinitely- I figured out that if I press the button on the machine itself it will go to sleep, and I can wake it up and then everything is fine, but I don't understand what's going on.
I have tried using Disk Utility and Disk Warrior, and have used OnyX to clean out my system cache and aall sorts of other stuff, but to no avail.
Is anybody else experiencing any of this? I'm starting to get really frustrated. Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
Andrew

Scott,
I had posted earlier that I had Flash payer problems and then QuickTime and PDF preview problems too, on my Intel PowerMac. I could not figure out what the problem was, because fixing permissions and moving plugins did not work. Console indicated that the Quicktime components were not found, with the problem in a webkit pref file somewhere (nil field value). Anyway, I bailed and reinstalled Leopard from a 10.5.0 DVD, and then updated using the combo updater to 10.5.3. Everything worked. Then, after the 'Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 1', it all broke again. This time, repairing permissions resulted in:
User differs on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Home/lib/jvm.cfg", should be 0, user is 95.
User differs on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Libraries/classlist" , should be 0, user is 95.
Now it all works again. This is obviously a flaw with the Java update, and also somehow Disk Utility did not find it earlier. Anyway, take a look at reverting the Java update, or manually changing user for those files (I suppose user 0 is root, but maybe it is nobody).
Obscure....

Hi,
Could you repost the error-message that you see in Adobe Reader? The problem might be because of a known bug in Microsoft SharePoint server 2010. Certain required field types are missing in the German/French site templates which cause a SOAP request on the server to fail. A workaround is to add these field types to the library. You could add these fields manually or using a script. You could look for following field types which might be missing from the site template.

Whatsnew page for 3.6.17 has formatting problems with Firefox and I.E.

I just updated from 3.6.16 to 3.6.17n and the whatsnew page, displayed after Firefox restarted, has formatting problems in the lower right hand corner.
I checked it with I.E. 8 and it also shows the formatting problem.
Why wasn't this caught before the page was put into "production"?
The URL is http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.17/whatsnew/
There is a line with the text "Release Notes » Firefox Features » Firefox Help »" that is being displayed on top of other material.
I wonder what a new Firefox user or an inexperienced user would think of this? They might think that they did something wrong or, worse, they might consider Firefox had problems and they won't use it.
This reflects badly on Firefox.
One more thing, could someone make this textarea taller and wider. It is so small as to cause problems typing and proofing the material.
The URL is https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d6&search=whatsnew+page+for+3.6.17+has+formatting+problems+with+Firefox+and+I.E.&showform=1
How about upping the cols and rows values? They are currently rows="10" cols="40"
