Question about forum use regarding an error I am receiving

I am looking for an answer to the proper process I should follow when running into issues with Azure Storage. As I don't want to annoy folks with tossing questions into this forum regarding errors I'm running into that are more usage related instead
of technical in scope.
For instance this morning I was attempting to view some details about a particular Storage item and was greeted with the following screen in the Azure Portal.
I was able to accomplish what I needed to (downloading some files out of this particular storage account) within the Manage.WindowsAzure.com site without issue. So this seems to be connected to the portal itself and it's interactions with Storage
(perhaps). I now have access to the above Storage item via the portal site, but for about 15 minutes I continually received the message above. Even after logging out, clearning cache, trying different browsers etc.
So my question(s) are; Are these forums the proper place to be posting information about issues we run into? If not what is the preferred method for reporting items like those above and getting help with remediating them in a timely manner?
I'm happy to put them here, just want to make sure there isn't a better place as I'm new to this.

Hi Darren,
You can post your issue with Azure Storage in here. Just make sure that you do not give out any PII data.
Also, the above portal which you are viewing is still in preview. You may use "manage.windowsazure.com" portal to access your resource.

Manu

A question about PreparedStatement and ORA-03115 error

Dear all,
I have an issue with JDBC and I would appreciate if you could kindly give me a hand.
I'm using:
- Oracle Database 11g Enterprise (Release 11.1.0.6.0)
- JDBC thin driver version: ( 11.1.0.7.0-Production)
- JDK 1.6
- Operating system: Linux (Ubuntu 8.10)
Here is my code
import java.sql.*;
public class Main
    public static void main(String[] args)
        String dbURL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:mydatabase";
        String username = "scott";
        String user_password = "tiger";
        try
            Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL, username, user_password);
            String query_text = "SELECT * FROM mytable";
            Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
            ResultSet query_result = statement.executeQuery(query_text);
            connection.close();
        catch (SQLException e)
            for (Throwable t: e)
                t.printStackTrace();
}This works pretty well without any problem. But when I want to use PreparedStatement instead of Statement I receive the ORA-03115 error message, that is, when I replace the Statement with PreparedStatement in the following way:
String query_text =
        "SELECT first_name, ?, id, ?, job_title, salary FROM mytable "+
        "WHERE id IN ('id14', ?, 'id17', 'id18')";
PreparedStatement prepared_statement = connection.preparedStatement(query_text);
prepared_statement.setString(1, "last_name");
prepared_statement.setString(2, "birthday");
prepared_statement.setString(3, "id02");
ResultSet query_result = prepared_statement.executeQuery(query_text);I get the following:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-03115: unsupported network datatype or representation

     at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatementWrapper.executeQuery(OracleStatementWrapper.java:387)
     at mysqlpackage.Main.main(Main.java:33)Therefore, right after
ResultSet query_result = prepared_statement.executeQuery(query_text);the exception is thrown,
why it works with Statement but not with PreparedStatement? I tested with several other queries, insert a new row, delete a row, everytime it works well, but when I want to use PreparedStatement instead of Statement, again I have this error message.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance,

OK, I found myself the answer.
First error, I had use ? also for column names, which is not accepted as the SQL query has to be precompiled.
Second error: Instead of writing
ResultSet query_result = prepared_statement.executeQuery(query_text);I had to write:
ResultSet query_result = prepared_statement.executeQuery();I tested with the following
String query_text =
              "SELECT first_name, last_name, id, birthday, job_title, salary "+
              "FROM myenterprise "+
              "WHERE id IN (?, ?, ?, ?) ";
            PreparedStatement prepared_statement =
                    connection.prepareStatement(query_text);
            prepared_statement.setString(1, "id02");
            prepared_statement.setString(2, "id04");
            prepared_statement.setString(3, "id08");
            prepared_statement.setString(4, "id09");
            ResultSet query_result = prepared_statement.executeQuery();And it works pretty well now! :)

Question about Automator using Spaces.

I don't think this is the right place for this question, but I figured I am probably going to need to write an applescript to do what I want, so I decided to put it here.
I have an automation to open some Word documents on my idisk, then open Dictionary, then open Safari with some tabs. But the problem comes in with spaces. I have Word and Dictionary open on Space 1 and Safari open in Space 3. When the automation ends, I end on Space 3 and would like to know how I add a function to set the focus back to Space 1. It's not all that detrimental to the success of my Automation, but I only use Safari for research and would like to focus to end back on word. I have tried switching which apps open first, but I still end up on the 3rd Space.
My other question is, where can I go for reference to commands in Xcode and AppleScript that deal with Spaces? I love using that function and I have had some ideas about scripts that could help me with them, but I don't even know were I would start with commands.

There are several solutions to this.
The first option would be to send the appropriate key command to switch to space 1. If you've left your preferences as the defaults then you can:
<pre class=command>tell application "System Events" to keystroke "1" using {control down}</pre>
Which will send a Ctrl-1 and switch to space 1.
An alternative, which may be even better, is to activate the application you want to be frontmost:
<pre class=command>tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate</pre>
This should activate the application and switch to that application's space.

Question about security issues regarding 'cp' and 'mv'

Ok, I wondered about how 'cp' and 'mv' are really working. I have some guesses but I need these things to be confirmed.
Here is what I have:
A partition with a unix file system, say ext2 or 3 (does this make a difference here?) containing *very* sensitive data. The filesystem is encrypted (whirlpool/serpent) but that shouldn't matter. As I do not want corpses of dead files lying around that could be recovered, I always use 'shred -zu' with 26 passes to overwrite and then delete the data.
And that's where I have my conceirns:
If I want to rename a file or move it to another folder on the same partition. Is it save to 'mv' it? Or should I 'cp' it and then 'shred' the original file. I assume that 'mv' will not touch the actual file and just tell the file system of it's new name or place in the folder-structure. Given that, shredding a 'mv'ed file should not leave a trace of it on the drive (except of the old filename before the 'mv' maybe, but that wouldn't be too critical). I assume that, because it's the only thing that would make sense to me, but have to know it for sure!
However, on moving the file to another drive I should probably 'cp' it, then 'shred' the original file. The question I have here is as follows:
How much information which could be recovered leaves 'cp'ing in my RAM? Will I have to find a way to somehow shred the information in the RAM or can I assume that my RAM get's rewritten often enough, that most traces will be gone, say, in a couple of days?
If you have links at hand to confirm your answer, please post them, too.

Okay, thanks for that, I will have a closer look on flushing the ram.
Sure, I care about security and privacy, but -- as you might expect -- the data I have are not really THAT sensitive/confidential/whatsoever. I've just gotten into it somehow and now I'm just curious/intrested in improving it for it's own sake more or less.

Some questions about the use of the relay

I connect Relay coil to the AC power source,but the switch always act.Is there any suitable relay for ac power ?
and when I replaced time delay relay in simulation, there was an error. I don't know how to get the right parameter setting ?
please help.

time_delay relay.png ‏5 KB

Hi there,
Thank you for your question. There are two ways to do this, for your origianl circuit you can connect the time delay relay in this way:
Set the frequency of the source to 1Hz and simulate, then you can see the NC and NO switch back and forth.
Second method: Instead of using a AC relay, we can use an AC coil which can be found at Electro_Mechanical-->COILS_RELAYS-->ENERGIZING_COIL_AC
In addition, we can add a normally closed (NC) contact or a normally open(NO) contact spicified for this AC coil(say K1)
Just type RELAY_CONTACT_NC or RELAY_CONTACT_NO to place the components and then place them under K1.
Change the Controlling device reference as shown in the picture below,
Now the AC relay can be constructed in this way.
For time delay, we can use TIME_DELAY_NC and TIME_DELAY_NO contact
Hope these two methods help!:-)
Best,

Question about the use of asdoc

I want to use asdoc to compile the flex SDK documentation myself. The reason is I need it in another format, and for a specific SDK (4.5.1).
I simply cannot get it to run. Out of the box, what should the command line look like if I'm in the bin the bin folder? Everything I try just keeps throwing errors.

Should I close the connection as the last paragraph say?. If so, I don't know how to do it without lose the service, because if I call "close" method on the connection and immediatelyi start it, i will lose all my consumers and producers for a little time.
You should close a connection when you have no further use for it as this will release resources.
You must start a connection if you want to receive messages from it.
Most applications don't use stop(). However if your application needs to temporarily pause delivery of messages (to the application) for some reason, call stop(). When your application wants delivery of messages (to the application) to restart, call start() again.

Question about planning using serialization point in transaction S2L

Hello colleagues!
Iu2019ve try to implement the supply of production line (supply area) just in sequence. R/3 received dependent requirements and backflushes of serialization point behind target Supply Area from APO.
Then I got a few dependent demands with indicator u201CXu201D in u201Crequirement is serializedu201D field in transaction S2L. I started the automatic planning but replenishment proposal was created to cover all dependent demands. from the selection horizon (with ind. u201CXu201D and without ). But I need to cover dep. demands only with ind. X in u201Crequirement is serializedu201D field. I looked through SAP help and SPRO but I couldnu2019t find helpful information.
Please, help me to find solution.
Thanks.
Ivan.

Thanks for the feedback. I followed the link but I guess I just don't understand about the extended file system. Is HFS+ the same as Mac OS extended (Journaled).
Basically, yes.
I understand that I guess that case sensitive means just that, but what is the difference between journaled and extended? Does it mena that a log file is only saved for the journaled system?
When a filesystem is journaled, all changes to it are written to a log.
Do most people just format as Extended without journaled? I am about to reformat my iMac and install Leopard on there and I was wondering if I should format using the extended or the extended with journal?
Using the journaling option slightly decreases the amount of space on the drive usable by you and increases the chance of recovering data from the drive if a problem occurred. If you want, you can use the Disk Utility to turn it on and off without erasing the drive again.

Qosmio G40-10Z: Question about energy use in sleepmode

When I turn my new Qosmio G40-10Z in sleeping mode, with full battery (and off the AC power), I can't start the computer next day. I can only start it up after connecting it to AC power. I get a message windows Vista wasn't closed properly and I am asked to start in normal way or safe mode.
After starting the battery indicates only 2% power. So, what is using power in sleeping mode? Why isn't the sleep mode not transferred to hibernation state when the battery is almost empty?
(New notebook, only vista and office installed and only television antenna is connected)

Hello guys
At first I just want to write a little bit about theory. Microsoft has implemented standby/Hibernation mode to offer PC users comfortable OS usage and make switch ON/OFF time much shorter.
According to the definition standby mode should be used for short time (launch, meeting and if you must leave the notebook for few hours). Hibernation mode should be used if you leave the notebook over the night or maybe day or two. In standby mode all data will be written in RAM and to keep them notebook needs power. In Hibernation mode all data will be saved on to HDD and notebook can be switched OFF. In hibernation mode the notebook does not need permanent power supply.
For me it is really strange that you use standby mode with battery and almost 20 hours. With this I do not want to say that described battery issue is normal but for 20 hours it is logic to use hibernation mode.
Back to battery issue: only 20 hours under standby mode is really to short. I have tested it with my Tecra and after 5 days I was able to switch ON notebook as usual (only battery power supply.
In your case I see only two explanations:
1. Somehow notebook can not switch into standby mode properly and stays running (I do not believe this because you can see if something like this happen)
2. The battery is defective
What you should do is to contact Authorized service partner in your country. Make a call and explain the situation. Maybe you will get new battery or they should test it using your battery.
Sorry for this long posting. I wish you luck and hope you will clarify this issue very soon.
Bye and good luck!

Question about Parallels using Bootcamp partition

I was about to install XP on bootcamp but i would mainly be using parallels to run XP from the bootcamp partition. What i was wondering is that if i was to make any changes to xp like install a software and create a new folder through parallels, would it reflect on the actual bootcamp partition when i load into the actual XP partition using bootcamp? Basically, do the changes made to windows using parallels carry over to the bootcamp partition given you are using the bootcamp partition on parallels?
Thanks

Thanks a lot. While i am at it, if i use the bootcamp partition with Parallels, i cannot suspend the VM right?
Parallels will behave the same, whether it has its own copy of Windows, or is using that on the Boot Camp partition.
The only difference is backup. If you use Parallels with Windows in a disk image file (Preferably a sparse bundle), Windows can be backed up with Time Machine. If Windows is on its own partition, Time Machine can't handle it.

HT2506 Questions about Preview Using in Safari after Installing Adobe Reader

I wonder how could I reuse Preview to open PDFs on Safari, after I installed the **** stupid Adobe Reader. Now I can't read and download online PDFs just because I got the Adobe Reader, even if I uninstalled the Adobe reader. What should I do?!!!!

I've been having this same problem with saving pdf files File - Save As from the top Toolbar on my laptop.
I would constantly get messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.
I also downloaded the lateset version of Adobe Reader XI
But at last I have managed to find a simple way to access pdf files from the internet.
Firstly, without downloading the pdf, I printed the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

Question about commerical use

According to the terms, I know that .Mac is not supposed to be used specifically as a e-commerce site, but is it ok to have a link that goes to ANOTHER site to buy a CD?
Thanks in advance,
George Bartley

Hi there,
since Apple in iWeb allows you to put google AdSense to your website, which is nothing but a way for having people to sell stuff and you to get money out from your website, there's no reason why you shouldn't add a link to a page for getting people to buy a CD. And there are a lot of people selling stuff themselves on their website.
So I guess do what you want to do. Sell yourself, link to other pages selling...
Also have a look at this thread.

Questions about Military use

Hey all, my wife is going on her second deployment to Kosovo and this time we were told they have WIFI in their rooms! Awesome! So through the wonders of ebay I bought us both iSight cams for our macs. They work great with iChat.
I was wondering if there are any issues we should look for? Or maybe a different messenger service we should have as a back up?
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Like CodLBi has said it is going to be about Firewalls or at least which ports the LAN has open and the Connection speed and the Bandwidth share that are going to effect this the most. (Not to mention any "Security" concerns about apps that can send files and Pics)
If it is the Miltary that control the LAN and Internet link then they might move on the ports (they have in the Gulf).
As to Bandwidth that will depend on how many other people are using the LAN At them same time and what they are doing on-line.
I presume it is not the Mac Pro she is taking
That could run Windows XP with Boot Camp or Paralleles and would be one way round as AIM on a PC moves it's ports around and that may have provided a solution.
See the links 5-9 on this section of my page 5.

Question about "(authAuthority) index_param failed (18)" error LDAP Log

After a couple months of working through many 10.5 OD problems (now 10.5.2 on Mac Pro) I've worked out most and only have the following error in LDAP Log
Apr 23 18:31:29 crashdummy slapd[102]: <= bdbsubstringcandidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18)
I know its not a critical issue and everything finally seems stable but I'd like to check know what's going on.
I tried indexing authAthority in slapd_macosxserver.conf with equality, substring, and presence directives with no change. (using slapindex after unloading )
One issue might be that the authAuthority attribute on computers and users in LDAP has 2 entries, ApplePasswordServer and Kerberosv5.
I'm new to Apple environment, so I'm not sure if this is normal.
Should there be only one entry?
I can delete ApplePasswordServer and still everything works OK including Home folders on an AFP share.
So I'd like to know if anyone who doesn't get this error has only one entry in authAuthority attribute..

I think you need to keep ApplePasswordServer in there if you want to be able to support authentication without Kerberos, like when ticket has expired.
I currently have the same issue. As I understand this is not a serious warning but I'd still like to resolve it and stop cluttering my logs. I've tried changing LDAP mappings between "From Server" and "Opend Directory" and adding the value to conf and indexing, as did you, but this doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm also seeing occasional ipHostNumber failures.
It very well might be a bug in the software because indexing doesn't resolve it. I've looked around but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer.

Can someone answer a question about copyright using itunes?

I'd like to make a presentation using music I purchased from itunes. The presentation will be played at a middle school. The presentation will NOT be sold. Am I breaking Apple copyright by doing this?

The terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that you agree to use the music for "personal use only". Whether or not using music in a presentation for a class would be considered "personal use" could be considered a grey area. I'm not an attorney and I cannot speak for Apple, but as long as this presentation is to be given only once and you don't plan to give copies of the presentation away, post it on a web site, or otherwise make it available to others in any way, I doubt that anyone would give you any trouble over the matter. That is just my personal opinion, though; consult your school for their official stance on the issue.''
By the way, this would not be a copyright issue as far as Apple themselves are concerned; Apple does not hold the copyrights to any of their material. The copyrights are held by the record companies, and would be a separate issue. Use of a music track in a presentation for educational purposes, again presuming that the track is not available outside of the class, generally would fall under "fair use" and so be legal. Again, though, talk with your school if you have serious concerns.
Regards.

Question about design - use patch-panels or switches in racks?

I'm trying to suggest should I use patch-panels in server 19" racks and use stand-alone telecomm racks for access layer switches
OR
should I install 2-3 access layer switches in every server rack?
First version looks more correct, but than I have to use MUCH MORE cables, organizers etc - all of it eats place in data-center.
Maybe someone saw some guides for that question?
Thanks!

2 or 3 access layer switches in every server rack? Considering typical stand-alone rack switches offer 24 or 48 ports, how many servers per rack or how big are these racks?! Or, were your intended access layer switches only 4 port switches?! (laugh)
The main disadvantage of rack switches, you either run out of ports or have too many ports. Since server hosts often push bandwidth harder than user hosts, you also have the issue of how much aggregate bandwidth you need to move out of an individual rack. These issues are better addressed by your suggestion of using patch panels from each rack that come to a network switch rack.
You're correct, all the cables, and their organization, has an expense, but this has to be considered against switch costs. Assuming you intend to use Enterprise switches that offer gig to the servers and perhaps 10 gig uplinks, there's a cost to having extra swiches by deploying to each rack. Also switches per rack would disallow the advantages you might find with a chassis switch in a switch rack. Further, depending on performance to provide, do you want to be limited by uplink bandwidth from each rack, or pay for high bandwidth from each rack that's usually underutilized.
Besides "looking right", the foregoing is often why there are server rack patch panels, etc.
One design, that I found interesting, was using the 3750 "stacked" across racks (guess you could do same with newer 2975s).
