Question about Messages application and AIM.

Hello, I purchased my first apple device last year (iphone) at which point I created an iCloud account and received an @me email address. This is also my Apple ID. Later in the year Apple also gave me an @icloud email like everyone else. I am enjoying my iphone very much and this year I decide to purchase my first os x device (macbook) soon. This is what leaves me to my following questions:
1. I wish to use the Messages application just for iMessage and not AIM or any other IM service. It is my understanding that about 2 years ago .mac and mobileme users were having AOL create Lifestream profiles for them without pemission. Now I have never been a .mac or mobileme user and only signed up icloud last year as previously stated. I just want to know if AOL is still creating these profiles and if they affect icloud users? I could not find any information about this issue being resolved. Would using the Messages applicaton just for imessage have the risk of having my icloud email have a Lifestream profile created for it?
2. I am aware that when setting up my macbook for the first time it will ask to sign in to with your apple id and then into icloud. I plan to do this. I am told that this will make me signed into imessage automatically in the Messages application. What I want to know is if this will make me sign into AIM automaticlly too? I have no intention of ever using AIM so I hope this is not the case.
I hope I have made myself clear as English is not my fist language. Any help with these questions is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
The last bit first.
iChat was the application used before Mountain Lion and Messages.
It could only join the AIM, Jabber and in iChat 6 the Yahoo services.
These are Instant Messaging services so the text sent between you and a Buddy tend to be referred to as IMs.
The AIM site I linked to above has an Option (when you can log in there)  that allows your to turn this AIM feature Off.
Some Jabber servers can do it but it tends to be an option the person running the Jabber decides to do or not.
If a Server is set up to allow Off Line Messaging then those have to be stored.
These can  a concern for the person running the server; either with storage space in the first place and for issues around governments want to "see" the data.
A part of the iChat and Messages apps perform a "Listening" function when you turn your computer On but do not launch the App.
This Listening will start up the App if anyone send you an iMessage  and AIM or Jabber message.
However this function of Messages can be turned Off.
This pic was created for something else but you can see the second line down is about setting the Status to Offline when the App is Quit.
This effectively stops the App doing the Listening.
Back to the Lifestream issue.
I am not sure what triggers the Lifestream to be set up.
I used a Search on the Lifestream site for my main AIM Name (which I can set the Lifestream to Privacy > No-one) and for my @me.com one which I cannot log in to the AIM settings site.
I cannot see anything returned in either case.
I also tried when Logged in under my main AIM name and got this form my @me.com ID
I think that when AOL/AIM started Lifestream all those people that had AIM and AIM valid Screen Names were included in Lifestream.
It may now be different and you may have to sign up for it.
There seems to be a set up page.
It would seem that my @me.com ID and @icloud.com ID have not been set up for Lifestream where as my AIM account (Main AIM Name as I call it) was set up in the beginning.
I am afraid I don't have any clearer information than that on this part of your enquiry.

  • Questions about message logging and topic TTL

    We're in the final stages of testing our application. Basically a producer application is sending small, non-persistent messages once every 10 seconds and once every second to an auto-created topic. The consumer application(s) listening are then doing data display of this 1 second and 10 second data.
    Testing the client we noticed it complained of a single 10 second message not being received. We verified that the message was sent by the producer. My question is whether there is a logging setting on the IMQ server that could be used to log the receipt and delivery of every message, perhaps by JMSMessageID to a particular topic? The only idea we could think of is to use 'imqcmd metrics' to track the number of messages in/out, but this isn't as useful for us.
    Any ideas you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

    imqbrokerd does not support tracing at this level, so metrics is probably the best approach for now.
    If a subscriber is not getting a message it is usually because of one of the following:
    1. The message is expiring. If you are using message expiration make sure the clocks are synchronized between the clients and the server. imqbrokerd will log a message when it has expired messages.
    2. The subscriber was down when the message was produced (and it is not a durable subscriber).
    3. You have set a size limit on the destination or system wide that is resulting in messages being shedded as specified by the limit behavior.
    With non-persistent messages you can get an additional level of reliability by setting the following ConnectionFactory property to true:
    ConnectionConfiguration.imqAckOnProducethis adds a handshake between the server and client when a message is sent and provides a mechanism for imqbrokerd to propogate additional message production errors back to the client.

  • Question about Worklist application and attachments

    Hello,
    I am using Oracle Bpel 10.1.2.1. I created a simple flow with a user task (Simple workflow). Then , in the worklist application, I attach one file, but when I see the BPELConsole, the oraBPMTaskMessage does not have the reference to the attachment and I am not able to acces the uploaded file. Is there something I am missing?. I already tried the Document Review Sample , and it works fine because I get the file URL in the payload, but when I use the attach option in the worklist application I can't obtain it.
    thanks Nicolas Fonnegra

    Task attachments are not sent back and forth in the task XML due to the potential issues with the size of attachments. Hence, you don't see the attachments in the task object in the BPEL process. BPEL XPath extension functions ora:getTaskAttachment(....) (there are a few variations of this) and ora:getTaskAttachmentCount(...) will get the attachments as base64 encoded string. Please look at the extension functions and the user documentation for more details.

  • Question about an application and scripts

    I have a simple application I downloaded from the internet called coconutWIFI, which i like better then the built in wifi detector on mac. however, this application has no option for opening on startup, and i would rather it start itself then having to run the application.
    is there any scripts that would allow me to do this?
    the website is http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutwifi/index.html

    If this is a standard app, just drag the application icon to System Preferences -> Accounts -> (your account) -> Login Items.
    This will launch it when you login.
    You can also launch the app manually, then click-and-hold its icon in the Dock. In the menu that pops up there's a 'Open at Login' option which will do the same thing.

  • Question about Remote application and iTunes on an PC

    I am considering getting an iPod touch to use as a remote for iTunes on a PC. I am wondering if one is required to manually launch iTunes for this to work, or is it sufficient to have iTunes load into the system tray when booting. The latter would definitely be more convenient for how I want to use the setup.
    Thanks.

    iTunes will have to be running.

  • A question about item "type and release" of  source system creation

    Hello expert,
    I have a question about item "type and release" of  source system creation.
    As we know,when we create a web servie source system,there will display a pop-up which includes three items as "logical system","source system"and "type and release".
    About the item "type and release",when we push "F4" button,there will be three default selections as below:
    "ORA 115     Oracle Applications 11i
    TLF 205     Tealeaf 2.05B
    XPD 020     SAP xPD".
    Who can tell me when and how should I use the three selections.
    And also I attempted to input the item by some optional letters except the default three selections and it seems that I can input it freely.
    Thank you and Best Regards,
    Maggie

    Hello DMK,
    Thank you very much for your answer.It is very helpful for me.
    Can I ask you further about it?
    I got that it is a semantic description item.
    You said the default selections are set by our basis people.Would you like to tell me how should we creat a new value except the default ones for item "type and release"?Only by inputing the value in the item directly?But you see we canot see the new value item we created by ourself when we push "F4" button next time ,is that ok?Or do we have to ask basis people to define one new value item just like the default seletions before we use it.
    Also if possible would you like to describe detail about "This becomes important when you are troubleshooting certain issues especially when RFC connection problems."
    Thank you and Best Regards,

  • Question About Color's and Gradients

    Hi all,
    I have a question about color swatches and gradients.
    I am curious to know, if I have 2 color swatches that I make into a gradient color, is it posible to change the tint of each indivdual color in that gradient and have that applied to the gradient without having to adjust the gradients opacity.
    The reason that I'm asking this is because in creating a project I found that the colors that I chose for to make my gradient from my swatches were to dark, and while I can adjust each one's tint to my liking (if the object they were applied to was going to be a solid color) but that doesn't seem to apply to the overall gradient.
    I hope that makes sense, I know that this was something that was able to be accomplished in quark and was wondering if I can do something similar.

    If you double click your gradient swatch (after adding it to the swatches)
    Then click a colour stop in the gradient, and then change the drop down menu to CMYK (or rgb)
    And you can alter the percentages there. It's not much use for spot colours but it's a start.
    But making tint swatches would be a good start anyway.
    At least then when you double click the gradient (in the swatches) to edit it you can choose from CMYK, RGB, LAB, or Swatches and adjust each colour stop to your liking.

  • Question about clear page and reset pagination

    Hi,
    I have a question about clear pages and the reset pagination in an URL. What is the reason why a clear page doesn't also trigger a reset pagination on the pages which are cleared?
    I can't really imagine a business case where it makes sense to clear all data of page items on a page and don't reset the pagination of reports on that page which probably use a page item in there where clause...
    The drawback of this behavior is that a developer always has to set the reset pagination checkbox when he clears the target page and the even bigger drawback is that if you specify other pages to clear, you can't reset pagination for them, because reset pagination only works for the target page.
    Thanks for your input.

  • The question about portlet customization and synchronization

    I have a question about portlet customization and synchronization.
    When I call
    NameValuePersonalizationObject data = (NameValuePersonalizationObject) PortletRendererUtil.getEditData(portletRenderRequest);
    portletRenderRequest.setPortletTitle(str);
    portletRenderRequest.putString(aKey, aValue);
    PortletRendererUtil.submitEditData(portletRenderRequest, data);
    Should I make any synchronization myself (use "synchronized" blocks or something else) or this procedure is made thread-safe on the level of the Portal API?

    HI Dimitry,
    I dont think you have to synchronize the block. i guess the code is synchronized internally.

  • A few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx

    i have a few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx , how much better is the dka790gx compaired to the ka790gx ? . how much difference does the ACC function make to overclocking etc , i plan on getting a phenom II 940BE or 720BE . i already have the ka790gx so would it be worth building another system using the dka790gx mobo , or should i keep what i already have and just change the cpu ?

    It's largely irrelevant what other boards had VRM issues other than the KA790GX - the fact is it died at stock settings. Since there is little cost difference between the more robust DKA790GX (or Platinum if you really need 1394) why bother with the proven weakling? There are other examples around of the KA not having a robust power section.  There's no way I would use even a 95W TDP CPU in the KA and absolutely not O/C.....!
    As for the credentials of Custom PC, I have generally found their reviews accurate and balanced, and echo my own findings where applicable. If a little too infrequent.
    The fact that the KA has such a huge VRM heatsink leads me to my other comments on the Forum, particularly regarding the "fudge" aspect:
    """Henry is spot on - the notion that adding a heatsink to the top of the D2PAK or whatever MOSFETS is effective is virtually worthless. The device's die thermal junction is the tab on the device back - which is always against the PCB pad. The majority of heat is therefore dissipated in to the board, and the fact that the epoxy plastic encapsulation gets hot is simply due to the inability of the heat to be conducted away from the device die via the tab. Not sure when Epoxy become an effective conductor of heat.... Good practice is to increase the size of the PCB pad (or "land" in American) such that the enlarged PCB copper area acts as an adequate heatsink. This is still not as effective as clamping a power device tab to an actual piece of ali or copper, but since the devices used are SMD devices, this is not possible. However, the surface area required to provide sufficient PCB copper area to act as a heatsink for several devices isn't available in the current motherboard layouts. Where industrial SBC designs differ in this respect is to place the VRM MOSFETs on the back of the PCB on very enlarged PCB pads - where real estate for components is not an issue.
    Gigabyte's UD3 2oz copper mainboards sound like a good idea, on the face of it. However, without knowing how they have connected the device tabs to where and what remains a mystery. I suspect it is more hype than solution, although there will be some positive effect. From an electrical perspective, having lower resistance connecting whatever to whatever (probably just a 0V plane) is no bad thing.
    The way the likes of ASUS sort of get round the problem is to increase the sheer number of MOSFET devices and effectively spread the heat dissipation over a larger physical area. This works to a degree, there is the same amount of heat being dissipated, but over several more square inches. The other advantage of this is that each leg of the VRM circuit passes less current and therefore localised heat is reduced. Remember that as well as absolute peak operating temperature causing reduced component life, thermal cycling stresses the mechanical aspects of components (die wire bonds for example) as well as the solder joints on the board. Keeping components at a relatively constant temperature, even if this is high (but within operating temperature limits), is a means of promoting longevity.
    For myself, the first thing I do with a seperate VRM heatsink is take it off and use a quiet fan to blow air on to the VRM area of the PCB - this is where the heat is. This has the added benefit of actively cooling the inductors and capacitors too....
    Cooling the epoxy component body is a fudge. If the epoxy (and thus any heatsink plonked on top of it) is running at 60C, the component die is way above that.....
    It's better than nothing, but only just."""

  • Question about evictor, application performance, and log growth

    Hello,
    I've got an application that using two BDB environments, one with critical data and one with data that can be reconstructed, just for the sake of backup convenience. For a while, I was getting OutOfMemoryErrors with increasing frequency. This caused the app to crash without closing the databases or the environment until the recovery time was around 30 minutes. After reading through many of the posts here and trying various workarounds, I got to a state where that stopped happening. I think that what did that fixed is was decreased the cache sizes.
    Then, I was seeing what appeared to be evictor deadlocks. The application would hang for thirty minutes before a monitoring script that I've got would detect that no work was being done and would restart the application. Another round of searching ensued and I seem to have gotten it to a state where it doesn't run out of memory or deadlock anymore.
    After getting rid of all these issues and letting it run for four or five days, the size of one of the critical BDB environment was 550GB. Since it was almost filling the drive, I moved it aside and created a new BDB for the app to use. Now, I'm trying to figure out what happened. It looks like the BDB contains about 15G of actual data.
    It seems like everything starts out fine and then, somehow, it starts to collapse under the weight of itself. I'd like to figure out what type of abuse I may be guilty of that could cause this.
    Here's a little bit about my application:
    First (critical) BDB environment:
    - add only, no deletes
    - two databases
    - average data sizes are 1k and 11k respectively
    - average key sizes are around 80 and 16 bytes respectively
    - almost no locality of reference to access pattern in either
    - minimal lookups, mostly used as an archive
    - cache size is 1MB
    - 8 threads reading/writing, 40 threads reading only
    Second (reconstructable) BDB environment:
    - six databases
    - five databases are mostly add with purges of two-week-old data
    - one database has frequent adds and deletes
    - lots of lookups, things are likely to be looked up shortly after they're added
    - cache size is 64MB
    - 40 threads reading/writing
    On both environments,I've set je.evictor.forcedYield=true.
    I'm running the JVM with:
    -Xmx1800m
    -Dje.adler32.chunkSize=8192
    -XX:+UseMembar
    JVM version is:
    java version "1.6.0_01"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_01-b06)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0_01-b06, mixed mode)
    BDB version is 3.2.23
    OS/Kernel is:
    Linux app2 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 16 17:17:21 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
    So, my question is:
    What could cause the critical database (especially with no deletes) to grow to 550GB when there's only 15GB of data in it? It was my understanding that the cleaner should take care of any unused log file cruft. It seems like the log files grow faster as the performance gets worse. I have no idea which is the cause or the effect.
    And, I guess the real question is how can I prevent this in the future?
    Thanks,
    -Justin

    For the record, the problem was that the user's cache size was too small for the size of the database thereby creating a large number of records in the log when eviction of dirty records occurred. The cleaner was unable to keep up with the log load.
    Note to readers: eviction of dirty records causes records to be written to the log. JE has to evict to somewhere and the log is what it uses.

  • Question about active queue and related msg of Nets.Messaging server 4.15

    I have Netscape Messaging Server 4.15 Patch 7 (buil

    Why?
    Very often number of file are few hundred, when the emulator of sendmail shows only twenty-thirty messages.
    And I see that the messages in active queue (if I open them with commands like more, view...) are all for local domains on server, so mailbox-deliver.
    There are sometimes a lot of messages of months ago...

  • Questions about Java Servlets and JSP

    Hi,
    I'm a confident Java Programmer (and really enjoy using this language) but am very new to Java servlets and Java Server Pages.
    I have previously worked with Perl on my web projects (simple 'league' style voting pages). I read in my 'Core Java' book that I should no longer use perl or even cgi.
    I need to know more about Java servlets and Java Server Pages so I can make the switch to a 'real' programming language.
    I have a few questions:
    How should I start to learn JS and JSP?
    How applicable will the java knowlegdge I have already be?
    Are JSP common on the world wide web?
    What tools do I need to start? (I currently develop in JBuilder and have Java 1.4.1 Standard Edition)
    Is it likey my web host (and others) will support JSP?
    Thank-you very much for helping a novice get started,

    Hi, Steve ...has to be frustrating! But do not despair.
    Let's suppose the servlet it's named MyServlet on package org.servlets
    WEB-INF should look:
    WEB-INF
    classes
    org
    servlets
    MyServlet.class
    web.xml
    web.xml file should have this two declarations:
    <web-app>
      <servlet>
        <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.servlets.MyServlet</servlet-class>
      </servlet>
      <!-- other servlets -->
      <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/MyServlet</url-pattern>
      </servlet-mapping>
      <!-- other servlets mappings -->
    </web-app>Now, once the container starts (Tomcat?), you should be able to see that servlet in:
    http://localhost:8080/[my-context/]MyServletAnd what my-context is? The web application context. This string should be empty if your're deploying to the root context, otherwise should the context name. In Tomcat, deploying to root context defaults to using webapps/ROOT.
    Sorry for my English, but I felt the need to answer your request. I hope it helps despite my writing.

  • IDOC question on Message type and Basic Type - Partner Profile

    Hi all,
    I am wonder if I can post any IDoc question in this right forum/module. If not please direct me to the right forum/module. I am a newbie in IDOC setup.
    My question is about the setup of Partner Profile creation (WE20).
    When creating a new partner, for example with partner type LI, I notice there is outbound parameter and inbound parameter.
    Questions:
    1 u2013 It makes sense to have only one message type record appear in EITHER one of these two tables.  I notice that some partner in my system has message type record exist on both the inbound and outbound parameters table, why system allows? What is the business rational?
    2 u2013 May I have a list of standard SAPu2019s Message Type object of its usage description, and its allowable Basic Type (ie. IDOC TYPE). Basically a website to describe their (i.e. Message type and its Basic Type) business usage.
    Thanks.
    tuff

    Tuff,
    Below are my thoughts,
    There is a partner sing partner type LI. This partner in the WE20, has one record (i.e. with Message Type ORDERS) exist in the Outbound Parameter table. This partner also has 4 records (i.w. with Message Type DESADV, INVOIC, MBGMCR, and ORDRSP) exist in the Inbound Parameter table. So my question is what is the business rational behind this kind of setup. Because I am confuse when come to create a partner profile, whether I need to create a message type in Inbound Parameter table or Outbound Parameter table, or I need both.
    OK, so looking at the above example, you have an orders message type(This is for creating an order) in the outbound, this means that you are sending out an IDOC(purchase order for ex) to this partner, so that this partner can create an SO in his system and fulfill your order.
    Now you also, mention that you have other four Message types for the same partner on the inbound, now let us look at the above scenario, you have asked your partner to fulfill the order, i guess you would like to get a confirmation from him/her if the order was created or not in his/her system and how and when is he/she going to fulfill your order requirement. This he/she does by sending an response to your order -  ORDRSP.
    And when the partner is ready to ship your order to you, he/she sends out a Advance Shipping Notice - ASN via the IDOC of message type DESADV.
    Finally and most importantly , he/she will send you the invoice - INVOIC for the order.
    In general, you interact with your partner via Business Docs - Order, Delivery, ASN, Invoice etc, so whatever document come from your partner - ORDRSP, INVOIC etc will be on the inbound profile of the partner. Whatever docs that you send ORDERS, ORDCHG etc etc will be on the outbound profile of the partner.
    2 - Bascially I would like a reference in any website that allow me to choose which message type is best use for my partner profile, so that I don't have to reinvent.
    Well, there is no choice of choosing/best message type for a given requirement - So for sending an Invoice the message type is INVOIC, ORDERS - For order creation, ORDCHG for order change etc. However the IDOC type, is some thing that you can choose, for Ex: ORDERS01 - ORDERS05, these are the IDOC types that are available, so if you are interacting with a partner who are running an old version of SAP and their system has only upto ORDERS02 in their version of SAP then you would use ORDERS02.
    Regards,
    Chen
