PS recommended literature

Dear partners:
As you know, I am a starter in PS and I would like to learn as much as possible. So I would like to buy some kind of PS guide, manual or handbook for beginners like me. I am a PS user (here we call it leader user), and I woul like to learn the system true capacity in order to ask for customizing and training.
I woul like to know your suggestions for this book.
Thank you.
Diego

You can try this book as well(in addition to Virendra's suggestion) Project Management with SAP Project System by Mario Franz (http://www.sap-press.com/product.cfm?account=&product=H3104).

Scalability Test: parallel requests not matching between app server and db.

We have an environment where we have started doing some load testing on our weblogic 11g instance.
The current flow and configuration is the following:
There are https requests that go into a servlet, which then calls a local EJB which uses a connection pool to request data that is returned to the caller.
The following diagram shows the general flow w/ pool size limits:
(Socket Readers: 33%) --> Servlet --> Local EJB (initial 100, max 200) --> Connection pool (initial 400, max 400) --> Oracle RAC database
First thing worth pointing out is I know that the connection pool size is drastically larger than the ejb pool -- and this needs to be addressed.
During a scalability test, we saw that there were the following max stats on the system:
Max number of sockets to the app server was approximately 450, while the maximum number of connections used during the test was 122.
We did not have instrumentation on the ejb pool to see how much it grew, but I'm assuming that the limit was due to the pool being to small and not growing fast enough.
what are people's thoughts on what to measure and test. We are trying to get a baseline configuration before jumping to a cluster environment.
Is there recommendations in terms of industry standards for matching the socket readers, thread pool, ejb pool and connection pool for a system? General recommendation read so far indicate that inital and max should be set to the same values?
Any recommend literature is appreciated.
Thank you.

Another measurement point that was captured is the max number of threads (LWPs) on the server went up to 196 (then dropped to 179 and stabalized there)
Any help is definitely appreciated.

Working with polygons

Morning,
I am looking to merge polygons together in order to create a boundary that encapsulates them. Can anyone point me in the right direction for material covering problems of this nature. I have browsed the forums extensivley however, solutions seem to only be available for polygons of a convex nature.
Any recommended literature or sites?
Cheers
J

Okay. I think something like this should work:
1. For each pair of intersecting edges, split them in two, so that two edges intersect only at their endpoints.
2. Any edge which has one end-point entirely inside (i.e. not on the boundary of) any polygon can be deleted.
3. Any edge which has both end-points included in (i.e. on the boundary of) the same two polygons can be deleted.
4. Join the ends.
3 can be more precisely expressed as FORALL edge (v1, v2) in Edges . ( if EXISTS polygon p1 such that EXISTS polygon p2 such that (p1 contains v1 && p1 contains v2 && p2 contains v1 && p2 contains v2) then delete (v1, v2) from Edges). Hope that's clear.

Add transaction to RF menu

hi experts,
I want to add a transaction developed to send the print order directly from de RF device. I want this transaction to appear in RF device's menu. how can I do that?
Could you explain the appropriate procedure or recommend literature or a link to do so?
Thanks in advance

Thank you for the information, I'll award points to you but I just have one more question. I've already added the transaction but don't know what do I have to put in Dyn. Men and Seq. no fields. Could you provide that information?
Hi, The dyn. menu is the menu that you want to use to enable the RF transaction. It can be assigned to a menu or a transaction.
The existing menu should appears in the drop down box.
If it doesn't appears go to spro->Logistincs Execution->Mobile Data Entry->RF Queue Management and click on define Queues. You can use the Queue name
The Seq. No is the order you want options to appear. For example:
1.Good Rcpt Proc>
2.Goods Issue Pro>
6.Count Inventory
Number 6 is the las Seq. No.

Literature for Oracle Mobile Database needed

I am just looking at the performance of the synchronization of "Oracle Database Mobile Server" for my bachelor's thesis.
But now I need a little more general literature on the "Oracle Database Mobile Server." Has anyone possibly an advice for me? I can not find anything reliable besides the official Oracle documentation.
Any reference is welcome.
Philipp

My blog has some topics about performance, not sure if it specific to your thesis though as the performance topics are very specific. In general, two factors go into the performance of the mobile server... factor 1, the hardware, both database and application server. More on the database side than any thing else. 2nd factor, SQL and Database design. So, for performance tuning, I usually recommend reading or oracle SQL database tuning as it usually resolves most issues. But there isn't a paper or topic on mobile server tuning that would be enough to cover an entire thesis. I could be wrong though.

Need to a voltage converter to run US-bought 110v HP Printers in 220v Pakistan any recommendations?

I Purchased Three Printers
1.
HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 MFP M525dn(CF116A)
2.
HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP4025n Printer(CC489A)
3.
HP LaserJet P2055d Printer (CE457A) -
All of them three operates on 110v USA. but i need them to use in 220V . Can anyone recommend me any good Voltage converter ?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Before go out to buy a converter/transformer (you need over 2KW for all 3 of them), please check the switches at the back, they may have switches to switch from 110V to 220V. I don't know your market, my suggestion: talk with an electrician who knows the real world much better.
Regards.

How are Game Center "Friend Recommendations" people I know in real life? (Meetup/Facebook data?)

This seems like a major privacy concern, but mainly I'm just very curious how this can possibly happen:
The Game Center app suggests primarily people I have met in real life... but have had NO online interaction with!
I life in a high-population US city, yet at least 2/3 of my Friend Recommendations (maybe more if they had photos or knew these peoples' last names) are people I have actually MET in person and know vaguely... but who I do now know well and who are NOT friends/contacts in any online service.
I have never emailed them (with two exceptions); we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names. I didn't even know that they owned iOS devices or played games at all!
We have certainly never played games with one another before; in fact, I have never used Game Center's friend feature and I don't have any GC friends. I only play random matches, and almost always on non-GC game services, for that matter.
None of them has ever made a friend request to me. I've only ever gotten one GC request, long ago, and I denied it; it was not someone I knew.
Some of them list "zero games in common" so it's not even that (and anyway, millions of people have games in common with me).
Only one of them is in my Contacts (iOS/Mac address book), and knowing how serious they are about privacy, I doubt the email address I have is their AppleID. I know your address book can (for now) be accessed without permission, but these people just aren't listed.
But I DO run into these recommendations in person every so often!
These cannot be randomly selected by geography because a) they're not super close to me in miles, and b) there are millions of iOS users near me. No way that most of the suggestions would be people I've met, if this were chance alone. SOME source of data is being used by GC, and I'm baffled as to what it could be.
The closest three theories I can come up with are all pretty implausible:
1. Indirect Facebook connection. These people are NOT my Facebook friends (with a couple exceptions; I never actually use Facebook but I do have an account, and if someone requests, I generally accept). I double-checked that. But they MAY be "friends of friends" possibly. But how would Apple obtain my FB friend list? And if they did have it, wouldn't they just suggest my actual FB friends, not friends-of-friends? My Facebook login email address is an alumni address that I have never used for any other purpuse; it is not my Apple ID. And I have diligently set nearly every option to "hidden" on Facebook: even friends see a mostly blank profile!
2. Meetup.com. This is a 100% correlation! I'm in several local groups that use Meetup.com to schedule meetings, and ALL of these Game Center recommendations are memebers of Meetup groups that I too am a member of. That's how I've met most of them. But Meetup has no "friends" feature, and most of these people have had no online connection with me (Meetup messages etc.) through Meetup. We've just attended the same events--which do have online RSVP lists--or else we are merely listed as members of the same group(s). (But we're talking large groups, so I haven't actually met most of the members, and I have met most of these GC recommendations.) But how would Apple obtain my Meetup info? Again my Meetup account's email address is not my Apple ID, and I have never used that email address with any Apple service (although it is on my Contacts card).
3. Maybe Apple harvested my address book/contacts list (which does NOT contain these people), and also harvested the contacts lists of these people, AND also harvested the contacts lists of people we know in common who happen to have both of us listed. Then they put it all together. (That's a stretch: the people I know the best on Meetup--whose info I do have in Contacts--are Android users!) But again, why not recommend my actual contacts, instead of contacts-of-contacts? My actual contacts--which contain numerous iOS users and games--are notably absent from the recommendations (with one exception).
Obivously Apple cannot, and does not, literally know who I have met. (No foil hat for me!) But they DO seem to have some data source that correlates closely with people I have met (and Meetup activity especially). I'm dying to know how that's possible.
This is a privacy concern, for at least three reasons I can think of:
1. GC lists these people's real names AND GC nicknames together--BEFORE I have accepted them as friends! And vice versa, I'm sure my nickname is being shown with my real name to total strangers. That means strangers, employers, stalkers, whoever, can now tie a person to their nickname (often the same one they use all over the Interner, not just GC). But we're not talking random suggestions: this is being show to people I DO know. Maybe I don't want them Googling my online nicknames! Maybe I complain about my work with that nickname Maybe I want my online friends and real-life acquaintainces kept separate. I definitely want EVERYTHING kept separate from these people I barely know but run into from time to time! One of these people is, in fact, on the sex offenders registry, and has stalked a friend of mine both online and offline. Maybe he'll learn my GC nickname--the same way it has shown me his--and can now Google that!
2. If I have a lot of "games in common" listed, then they can peg me as a "gamer," which is sometimes a negative. Maybe I want my boss (or whoever) to think I'm more serious, even if he games too, and now he knows I have 30 games and wonders why I'm not staying late to work Maybe I just don't want to be roped into being "friends" online with my boss, or having to let him win games! Again, although this is a small issue at first glance, it's less small when things are being shared with people you really DO know in real life. What if my hypothetical stalker sees I have games in common? Sure, I can deny their friend request and cancel their 500 game attempts, but I'd rather be 100% hidden from them in the first place. I have no prior online contact, I want it to stay that way, and I've never given Apple permission, that I know of, to share my real name with people I never friended. (And even if I did, it should be with random strangers--not actual acquaintances.)
3. The big mystery--how is Apple getting data that correlates with who I've met in the first place? I'm guessing that some people see the same pattern I do, and some don't; which might lead to an answer, but so far I'm stumped. (If this does tie to Meetup some bizarre way, that would be unnerving because Meetup ties me to real places and specific times.)
Theories are welcome! And a basic question: what data sources DOES Game Center have available to use in making friend suggestions? I would have guessed maybe Location Services (nearby people) and people who have played a game with me (or made a friend request) in the past. But those sources are not what I'm seeing.
(Even weirder is that nobody else seems to have posted about this happening; it may not happen to everyone, but surely some people have had this same question? I feel like I'm in a Kafka novel...)

That's a good thought that could explain some cases, but not mine: these people definitely don't know my email address, and I'm not in their Address Book. (Some of these are people I might meet on a hike, say, and nod to in passing on other hikes once a or twice a year, and that's the extent of the "relationship"--no contact info ever exchanged. We don't even know what cities each other are from.)
we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names.
I should correct my first post: I said I "do now know well"... that should be "do NOT know well".

Can no longer recommend Fascinate due to non-support of issues - class action time?

I loved my Fascinate when I got it, but the failure of Verizon to promptly resolve KNOWN software issues with known-to-Verizon solutions constitutes something dangerously close to fraud. Like others, I was promised a prompt upgrade to Froyo by a Verizon rep when I bought the phone. Like others. my GPS performance is terrible, with frequent delays of 10 minutes to infinity to achieve a location lock. Like others, I let my 30 day return expire because I was promised a software fix was coming out Real Soon Now, so now I am screwed.
The issue is NOT the delayed Froyo update,the issue is that the phone does not function as promised by Verizon when sold. Knowing sale of a defective product that does not meet its advertised features is fraudulent under the commercial code in any state of the union.
Therefore I am doing some of the few things I can do under the circumstances:
First of all, new buyers are warned that the phone DOES NOT WORK as advertised in many cases due to software issues with GPS, email push, and other features. If you buy it, don't expect it to work. If you are promised otherwise by a Verizon store or rep, be warned that the promises are empty. Be warned that the Verizon implementation of Bing en lieu of Google search and other disruptions of the base Google services makes the phone almost unusable compared to a true Android environment such as that on certain other Android phones and providers. Bing is terrible. VZNavigator is a rip off (and terrible). If you are a lawyer interested in a class action against Verizon related to thi sphone be aware that you should have plenty of interested parties. Personally I would like my service fees waved for the period from September when I bought the phone through whenever-they-actually-make-it-work with debugged software. It is clear that engineering KNOWS how to make the GPS work even without a full Froyo update - they just haven't released a patch.
I wish I could love this phone - but I can't recommend it any more to any one for any reason until Samsung/Verizon fix the software and de-Bing and de-bloat an otherwise excellent piece of hardware. This is EXACTLY what Apple got right, and that Verizon has wrong. A pox on them and their bloatware and BIng and broken search functions. It's like a bad dream. Swapping the hardware out for another Fasicinate won't fix it. I'm stuck.

Do I actually expect to see a suit? No, not really. But, message reads on the first page of the Fascinate forum suggest that as of now at least 4000 potential Fascinate owners may have received enough reasons to consider either a different phone or a different carrier. Verizon execs might have a look over the fence at IPhone land, where there is a mob wielding torches and pitch forks that loves their iPhones (but hates ATT for the poor service experience). Provide even average service and you build brand loyalty that overcomes almost any foul up. Give your customers good reasons to hate you, and they surely will.
Today I drove a 30 mile round trip with a fresh A-GPS almanac and never got GPS located closer than 1100 yards. If it ever DOES synch, it will be good to 10 ft. and stay locked until I go indoors. If. The Bluetooth refused to connect (again). Works great WHEN it actually occasionally works though. The hardware can do it. The software is a bad joke. Is is Samsung's fault? Maybe. Could Verizon provide a timely fix by internal or Samsung resources? Definitely. Samsung has fixed these issues for other markets long ago. The shame is that it takes what could be a great experience and sours it all. It's not about Froyo, it's about having basic features that work. While some of thse phones work perfectly, some combination of hardware and software issues means that too many customers did not receive what the paid for, and they have good reason to be angry with Verizon for the poor experience and callous treatment.

SORRY, BUT MY PREVIOUS POSTING DIDN'T HAVE THE FULL LIST OF HARDWARE CONTENTS of my Power Mac G5.
Hello Final Cut Studio 2 Experts,
I'm considering purchasing Final Cut Studi 2, and to make sure that I'll benefit from the full range of specific application (FCS/motion/color...) and I'd like to ask few questions (5 main points) regarding requirements and recommendations. So, please be prepared for much reading as I am not an expert on the matter. I like to know if my computer accepts any further hardware parts highly recommended and if I can purchase and install them myself. And yes, you should also know that I intend to use a Panasonic multi-format (HD/SD) camera for capturing and exporting videos.
N.B. Please note that the full list of my Hardware contents appear at the bottom of this text.
THANKS IN ADVANCE for your expert advise!
So, here we go:
Application-Specific Requirements
Final Cut Studio
Capturing HD resolution video using the ProRes 422 format requires a Mac Pro with an Intel Xeon processor or a G5 Quad computer and a qualified third-party capture card.
1) Do I need an Intel Xeon processor? If yes, can I purchase and install the component by myself (like RAM)?
Motion

ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 or 9600
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT, 7300 GT, 6600, 6600 LE, FX Go5200, or FX 5200 Ultra
For 16- and 32-bit rendering: a graphics card with at least 128MB of VRAM
2) Do I need one of the ATI Radeon 9800, 9700... or ATI Mobility Radeon? Why does my Hardware contents say ATI Radeon 9600, and not ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, is there a difference?
Color
The standard graphics card in any Mac Pro, 17-inch MacBook Pro, 24-inch iMac with Intel Core Duo, or 2.5GHz or faster Power Mac G5 Quad:
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600
ATI Radeon X1600

A display with 1680-by-1050 resolution or higher
A three-button mouse for full functionality
3) Do I need and ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 or ATI Radeon X1600?
DVD Studio Pro
For playback of DVD Studio Pro 4-authored HD DVDs: a Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G5 or Intel Core Duo processor
For writing finished projects to disc: an Apple SuperDrive or other DVD recorder
For writing finished projects to a double-layer disc: a double-layer-compatible recorder and double-layer media
For transporting HD projects to a replicator: an external drive or Internet transfer of the project’s disk image
For transporting SD projects that contain copy-protection or dual-layer features to a replicator: a DLT drive, external drive, or Internet transfer of the project’s disk image
4) Do I have an Intel Core Duo processor? Do I need an Apple SuperDrive?
What is a "replicator"?

Printer recommendations please.

Hi, I need a new printer and would like recommendations as to what to buy. The last printer I bought was an HP 1220c for an Imac running OS 9. When I upgraded to OS X I lost many of the printer's features, booklet and two sided printing most frustratingly, and never regained them. I need booklet printing, two sided printing, and preferably large format printing. I am looking at two printers from HP in particular, the OfficeJet 7300 at <http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/18972-238444-410635-12019-f51-39 1181.html>, and the Deskjet 9800 at <http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/productdetail.do?product_code=C8165A%23A2L&tab=overview&storeName=storefronts&landing=p rinters&category=inkjets&subcat1=seeall&catLevel=3#defaultAnchor>. HP claims that they are MAC compatible, but I don't trust them. If anyone has personal experience with either of these printers, I would appreciate your opinions of them.
Thank you, Caoim

I also have a HP DeskJet 1220c and had problems with it using OSX. I tried many solutions (selected print drivers), but ended up purchasing a print driver for the 1220c from PrintFab. http://www.printfab.net/ I had to experiment with the menus to get the best print quality, but finally got good results. I don't print two-sided, so I don't know if that would still be a problem. (There is a menu for paper handling.) You can download a demo version to try and see if it works for you. Just another option you can try before purchasing a new printer.

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

Can anyone recommend a second hard drive for my PowerPC G5

Hi,
Sorry if this question has been asked before but I need the answer in a hurry.
I need to fit a second hard drive into my PowerPC G5 - and I have never done this before. I phoned a company to buy a drive and they said that there can be compatibility problems with certian drives and Macs. A friend at work also confirmed this and pointed me to the site www.xlr8yourmac.com which has a database of drives and their associated problems.
Unfortunately I don't have time to digest all of the info. I am letting a friend use my Mac for a project that they are working on and they need the space urgently. They are working to a strict deadline.
So basically what I would like to know is if anyone can recommend a drive that I can fit without it causing any problems. I need a high quality, fast and very quiet drive for audio and video production. The drive should be 250GB, 7200RPM, 16MB cache. The Mac support pages say it must be a serial ATA drive but I have no idea if you can use ATAII or ATA300 (or any other number???).
Also - as I have never done this before - I have heard 'jumpers' mentioned - will I need to set the jumpers to a particular configuration?
Thanks in advance, Byron.
