Question about Relations ( attributes )

hai technos,
When i'm creating a relation between 2 dimension for creating hierarchies ( for example between year and month dimensions )
i can display either year or month at a time.
Here that drill down effect is not coming where we can display parent and child levels at a time drilled.
is there any way to implement the same with relations?
Any help,suggessions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I think the last post will just aid in confusing you, read this and see if it makes sense ....
In Express, dimensions can have data types of day, week, month, quarter, year, etc..... and (most importantly!) text. These data types are classed as "time" types (date, week, month, quarter, year) and (what I would call) "normal" type of text ... the other poster called this "other".
When you create any "time" dimensions, Express will implicitly create relations between them, so you don't have to do it, but it's NOT a hierarchy it's an attribute. These "time" dimensions can only store time periods that match their data type, and the periods MUST be consecutive.
To create a time hierarchy (and the drill-down/up that you require), you have to create a "normal" dimension (data type = text). This dimension is usually called TIME (because it holds all the time values you want). This dimension contains all your days, wks, months, yrs, etc... that you need. You then create a relation of that dimension to itself (classic self-relation ie hierarchy). The relation stores the parent value in the hierarchy. That's the way you get the drill-down. If you have already created your "time" dimension values, you can copy them over to your hierarchy dimension if needed.
To get the drilling to work, use your TIME (hierarchy) dimension when you are creating your variable (don't use any other time-related dimensions!!), then create a table with this dimension being the only one going down, choose dim val's whilst having the hierarchy chosen, and you've got it !!!!
Special Note !!!: The method used to create the hierarchy differs between OSA, OFA, Administrator and plain Express. Each product has different structure that could help or hinder you. If you don't understand this, please reply here and let me know which product you are using & I'll help out more.

Question about relative sizing on JPanels

Hi,
My question is about relative sizing on components that are not drawn yet. For example I want to draw a JLabel on the 3rd quarter height of a JPanel. But JPanel's height is 0 as long as it is not drawn on the screen. Here is a sample code:
JPanel activityPnl = new JPanel();
private void buildActivityPnl(){
        //setting JPanel's look and feel
        activityPnl.setLayout(null);
        activityPnl.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
        int someValue = 30; // I use this value to decide the width of my JPanel
        activityPnl.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(someValue, 80));
        //The JLabel's height is 1 pixel and its width is equal to the JPanel's width. I want to draw it on the 3/4 of the JPanel's height
        JLabel timeline = new JLabel();
        timeline.setOpaque(true);
        timeline.setBackground(Color.RED);
        timeline.setBounds(0, (activityPnl.getSize().height * 75) / 100 , someValue , 1);
        activityPnl.add(timeline);
    }Thanks a lot for your help

And use a layout manager. It can adjust automatically for a change in the frame size.
Read the Swing tutorial on Using Layout Managers for examples of the different layout managers.

Question about HTML attributes

I am parsing HTML code and need some help. Maybe it's because
I don't understand HTML code or something.
Anyways, I'm trying to get the content of an HTML element. Given the
following Java code:
 // Iterate through the elements of the HTML document.
 ElementIterator it = new ElementIterator(doc);
 javax.swing.text.Element elem;
 while ((elem = it.next()) != null) {
 SimpleAttributeSet s = (SimpleAttributeSet)elem.getAttributes().getAttribute(HTML.Tag.A);
 if (s != null) {
 System.out.println(s.toString());
 System.out.println(s.getAttribute(HTML.Attribute.HREF));
 System.out.println("element: " + elem.toString());
 if (elem.getName().equals("tr")) {
 System.out.print("found TR: ");
 Enumeration e = elem.getAttributes().getAttributeNames();
 while (e.hasMoreElements())
 System.out.print(e.nextElement().toString() + " ");
 System.out.println();
I can't figure out how to parse the content from table data.
Here is my HTML code:
<TR VALIGN="top">
<TD ALIGN="left" COLSPAN="2">
KDEN 191753Z 10007KT 050V150 10SM FEW090 SCT120 SCT200 29/M01 A3004 RMK AO2
SLP087 VIRGA DSNT S-NW TCU DSNT SW T02891011 10294 20128 58007 
KDEN 191653Z VRB05KT 10SM FEW090 SCT120 SCT200 28/00 A3006 RMK AO2 SLP095 VIRGA
DSNT SW-NW T02830000 
 
</TD>
</TR>
The code picks out the HTML attribute "valign" for the TR element. But,
how do I get to the actual content.
What I would like is to get the string that begins with KDEN.
Any comments would be helpful.
Thanks.
-brad w.

I was able to make this work.
What I did was the following:
<code>
 // Parse the HTML.
 kit.read(rd, doc, 0);
 // Iterate through the elements of the HTML document.
 ElementIterator it = new ElementIterator(doc);
 javax.swing.text.Element elem;
 while ((elem = it.next()) != null) {
// System.out.println("element: " + elem.toString());
 if (elem.getName().equals("content")) {
 start = elem.getStartOffset();
 end = elem.getEndOffset();
 // System.out.println("found content: beg_offset: " + start + "end_offset: " + end);
 if ((end-start) < 4)
 continue;
 try {
 loc = doc.getText(start, 4);
 } catch (BadLocationException ex) { continue; }
 if (loc.startsWith("KDEN"))
 System.out.println(doc.getText(start, end - start));
</code>
I need to use the start and end position of the element to get
the text from the Document.

Total beginner question about relative cell references

It seems like this ought to be easy, but I cannot get it right.
I have 2 columns in a table.
The first contains dollar amounts in each row.
I would like the second column to sum the dollar amounts up to that row, and I'm trying to construct a formula.
e.g:
1 1
3 4
2 6
7 13
I cannot figure out how to refer to the current cell as an absolute but the others as an relative range.
Any help gratefully received. (Why is there no function for "this cell"??)

Hello
It seems that you don't know the usage of the search function.
Using it with the keyword "absolute" upon the Numbers User guide (PDF) brings to page 91 where one may read:
+To paste a copy of a formula in a different cell and use the same cell references in both+
+formulas, place a dollar sign ($) in front of column and row identifiers (=$A$1). This+
+technique creates what’s called an absolute cell reference.+
+For example, if the formula =A1 appears in cell D1 and you want to paste a copy of the+
+formula in cell E1, change the formula to =$A$1, select D1, copy it, and paste the copy+
+into E1. The formula $A$1 is copied into cell E1. If you didn’t change the formula to use+
+an absolute cell reference the formula in E1 would be =B1.+

Two basic, related questions about external HDs and trashing/erasing

I have a couple of questions about using an external hard drive that I can't seem to get answered by surfing around. They'll probably seem stupid and basic, but ... Here they are:
1. When you drag a file from your external hard drive to the trash, does that file actually transfer to the main hard drive's trash, and thus the main hard drive? For instance, say I'm deleting a 4 GIG file. Will I temporarily add 4 GIGs to my main drive in the process of deleting it?
2. With a multipartitioned ext. drive, can you erase the contents of a single partition with the disk utility, thus bypassing having to drag-trash everything on that partition?
Thanks.
G5 iMac Mac OS X (10.4.2) Powerbook (10.4.6)

1. No. The files are moved to an invisible .Trash directory on the external volume. No copying of data takes place between volumes when you move stuff to the trash.
2. Yes. You can use Disk Utility to erase or securely erase just a single Volume on a disk, leaving the other volumes unaffected. Simply click on the name of the Volume in the left pane of Disk Utilitly, click on the Erase tab in the right pane, and choose the options you want for erasing the volume.

Questions about database application tables connector

Hi all,
I need to manage with OIM several databases (each one with its custom tables).
Also, one of them will be my trusted target on the initial load of users. The structure of our tables is not similar to the included in the example.
The documentation explains how the OraAppX.xml could be modified but it doesn't speak about relations with "DBTable_nonTrusted.xml" and/or "DBTable_trusted.xml" For example, if I don't have a column called USR_COMM_LANG, could I replace this column name for another that I have in my database ? And what about the references on the "DBTable_nonTrusted.xml" file. Connector doc doesn't explain how references to that field (USR_COMM_LANG---xel_usr_comm_lang) are managed by the connector and if the normal working of the connector could be affected if the name of a variable is changed in the xml conf file.
It could be that adapters of this connector were hardcoded with the referece to xel_usr_comm_lang (???) .
The connector documentation includes a section titled "Adding Custom Database Columns for Provisioning and Reconciliation". The first impression reading this document is that it is possible to extend the predefined table rather than create and define a new structure of table.
Has anyone rebuilt the "DBTable_nonTrusted.xml", "DBTable_trusted.xml" and "OraAppX.xml" files changing all default variables in order to manage a customized table? .
Many thanks in advance,
Claudia

Hi Claudia,
1) Yes, you must replace the column names in the "column" tag on your XML file for the column names that you have in your database tables. Also, remember that you need to configure the other parameters (like data_type, data_typ_size, etc) according to your database table.
2) The "xel_data_source" parameter is the attribute name that will be recognized by the OIM and they can be mapped to a form field (UD_DBAPP_XXXX) in your process definition in OIM Design Console.
3) You can customize your Database Application Tables connector for provisioning as you wish, but some issues exists. In the Known Issues section of the documentation you can see that this connector doesn't work for more than two tables.
4) To customize your Database Application Tables for Trusted Recon, there are other restrictions because OIM users have some required fields that must be filled to create a user successfully.
Hope that helps, and please let me know if you have more questions.
Regards.

UserDefined Type Question - Nested Table Attribute

I have a question about some types I'm trying to create and whether or not it's even possible .....
Here's the background ...
I have the following type i created :
create type asset_stat (
stat_current varchar2(50),
stat_change_date date,
stat_change_user varchar2(30)
All this type does is simply put a user and date/time stamp when constructed. I want to track status changes for historical tracking.
Then I want to create a nested table type of the above type as follows:
create type asset_stat_nt as table of asset_stat
Then, I have another type i've created which will have the nested table type created above as an attribute.
create type asset (
asset_name varchar2(30),
asset_type varchar2(3),
asset_stat asset_stat_nt
Now, the constructor for this asset type is defined like this: ( this is where i get lost)
constructor function asset (
asset_nm IN varchar2,
asset_type_cd in varchar2,
asset_stat_cd in varchar2 ) return self as result is
begin
self.asset_nm := asset_nm
self.asset_type := asset_type_cd ;
self.asset_stat := asset_stat_nt(asset_stat_cd);
return;
end;
I just created a table of asset type and tried to do an insert and I'm getting an error related to the line where the nested type is being assigned. Is this possible? If so is my syntax completely off? I'm not quite sure how to set values for the nested type because i want to keep all records of change. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

the block of code shows that asset_stat_nt is the type assigned to asset_stat inside the type asset as shown below
create type asset (
asset_name varchar2(30),
asset_type varchar2(3),
asset_stat asset_stat_nt
I guess for the following block of code, the line with the arrows should be given like shown below in bold letters
constructor function asset (
asset_nm IN varchar2,
asset_type_cd in varchar2,
asset_stat_cd in varchar2 ) return self as result is
begin
self.asset_nm := asset_nm
self.asset_type := asset_type_cd ;
self.asset_stat := asset_stat_nt(asset_stat_cd);return;
end;
[b][b]self.asset_stat := asset(asset_stat_nt(asset_stat_cd));
I am not pretty sure.......try it anyway.....if it works....good to you

Question about "run application once" semantics...

Hi to anyone still out there. We're still using ZfD 3.0SP1a with the
latest NAL patch (10.4.2002). Things basically are working but we're
redoing our software distribution strategy to try and streamline things
and squeeze a bit more life out of the platform. As part of the process, I
moved away from force run MSI installs by user for basic stuff to force
runs which call msiexec /i some.msi (or setup or whatever...) and
associating these to OUs. I was planning to use the app version number to
force redistribution whenever I put up newer MSIs or installer files. In
testing, I noticed that msiexec was running on each login for each package
and that wasn't what I wanted. I want the installers to fire off once,
then again whenever I bump the version number. So I checked off "Run
application once". Now the apps run only once but do not redistribute when
I up the version number. If I use nlist to query eDir, I can see the
attribute "zenappDisconnectedVersionNumber" has been incremented in the
directory but looking at HKLMSoftwareNetWareNAL1.0Distribute*, the version
number for that app never moves and the software isn't redistributed. The
apps are all set to "wait on force run".
Am I misunderstanding the use of this attribute? I suppose I could leave
"run application once" off and set up some registry flags to control
distribution or even just let them run on each login but I want to do this
in the cleanest fashion. Any suggestion about what I might be doing wrong
or how to work around/troubleshoot this issue? Thanks in advance!
Michael

Thanks, guys. I have a follow up question/issue related to this
environment. I am pushing out a handful of apps associated with
workstations via OUs (force runs which call msiexec or a setup). I've
tested this a hundred or more times in my own OU but in several other OUs,
I've now run into this issue when NAL kicks off the first app install. I
get a WMRUNDLL.EXE error and no software distribution occurs. The text of
the Dr Watson error is:
The application, WMRUNDLL.exe, generated an application error The error
occurred on 11/07/2007 @ 12:54:26.495 The exception generated was c0000005
at address 004AED14 (NWAPPCreateFullObjectName)
In setting up a few machines today, the first ran fine, the next 3 got
this error. I've synched up everything in PUBLIC across all servers; all
NAL related files that I'm aware of (that show via NAL's "more" button)
are from the last update for ZfD 3, dated 10-04.2002.
I did some searching and the little I was able to find seemed to point at
a particular version of wsreg.dll. Wasn't able to find any particulars
though. Fwiw, wsreg32.exe and wsreg.dll in PUBLIC were dated 6.26.2001. I
swapped in a wsreg.dll from 10.22.2002 which I believe was part of the
49SP2 client. That apparently hasn't helped. Worst of all, it seems
intermittent or arbitrary - I can't really see what's different between
the environment I'm currently in that is experiencing the error and the
one in which it's working. It's the exact same base image, exact same
PUBLIC dir... the only difference is that it's not my home OU. I checked
workstation policies in the other OU and they appear to be the same as in
mine.
I thought I was past this as the PUBLIC sync seemed to clear things up at
another location but now I'm seeing it again. Have you seen this before?
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

Just installed iOS6, questions about "iMessage" and other things...

I've been a satisfied iOS4 user since I bought my iPhone4, but I was forced to install iOS6 tonight in order to download a "free" app. I found a few new icons on the screen along with about 200 percent more "Settings" I'd like to ask some questions about. I'm sure a few of these could be answered by doing a frantic and thorough search through weeks of posts but I'm a little short on time right now.
First, what exactly is iMessage? Looking at the page for it, I can't see any difference between it and regular text messages. The info page says its to avoid charges, but between my data plan and not being charged for text I don't see where theres any other benefit. The one person I text with the most recently asked me why I had not installed iMessage yet, and didn't have an answer when I asked him why I should. I guess he just wanted to see text replies in blue instead of green.
In a related bit, flipping through Settings>Messages>Send & Receive I find a "2 addresses" section, with my phone number in there as well as my email under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from:". What good does it do iMessages to have my email address? Does the Mail app handle text as well as email addresses? That seems to be the only explanation, and also very odd to think I'd be trying to text through my Mail app.
Second, looking through the Settings>Mail I see now that I have an icloud email address as well as the mac.com address I've been desperately hanging on to for the past 10 years, and the me.com address they've been trying to force me into since those came out. (I was happy to see I could delete the me.com address from the phone. I wish I could delete it from the universe.)
I wasn't even aware there was a such thing as icloud.com addresses. When did this happen? What is it used for?
Third, under that icloud Setting I see a long list of apps with buttons labeled "Off" under it. What are those for? Under the Mac.com settings I see switches for "Mail" and "Notes", with Mail on and Notes off. The Notes app (which I haven't used since my old iPhone 3) still opens, regardless of this setting.
Fourth, I now have an item called "Facetime" under my Settings. It is off, but underneath it says "Your phone number and/or email address will be shared with people you call". I understand caller ID normally sends caller number info to the receiver, but why would someone need my email address if I call them?
Fifth, I now have a "Music" setting, at the bottom of which I see a "Home Sharing" item, which when clicked brings up my AppleID and asks me if I want to Sign Out or Cancel. What is Home Sharing? Its also at the bottom of the "Video" settings.
Sixth, now I have Twitter and Facebook settings? For what? I don't have accounts with either of those companies. So why have settings, especially since it asks me to create accounts and download apps for those companies right in the Settings?
Seventh, there is a camera icon on the unlock screen. Touching it causes the screen to bounce up about a quarter inch, almost but not quite revealing something behind it. I should probably just quit asking about this stuff already, but I'll take the bait - what is this now?
Finally, what is the Notification Center used for?
If I got a text under iOS4, it would put an alert on the Unlock screen. Scrolling through this huge list of things under the Notification settings I'm really blown away by all the apps set up to yell at me. I can see having an alert for a text message but Game Center? What the heck is that, and why is it set up to hit me with a "Badge App Icon" (whatever that is) when I get alerts from "Everyone". Similarly, the phone is set to alert me to something called a "Photostream Alert"? What is this? Why is there a Phone section for the Notification Center? So they can put a Notice on my screen to tell me the phone is ringing? Holy cow! The phone is set to send me alerts from the "Weather Widget". So if I miss the fact its raining there will be a message on my screen to let me know? Whats next - a buzzer to tell me I'm listening to music?
There's a lot more, like what would I need Passbook for when I have the actual movie tickets, gate boarding passes, coupons, etc in my hands, but we'll leave that for another time. Many thanks to all who can offer some answers to my questions above.

Some questions about configuration in MAX.

Hello,everyone!
I have some questions about configuration in MAX(I am a jackaroo for motion control development),I hope I can get your help.
I use PCI-7344+UMI-7764+Servo amplifier+Servo motor,my MAX version is 4.2 and I use NI-Motion7.5
My question as following:
1,In Axis Configuration,for motor type,why I must select stepper but not servo?my motor is servo motor!If I select Servo,my motor can't run,I don't know why.
If I select stepper,though motor can work but I can't test encoder in MAX.
2,In Stepper settings,for stepper loop mode,why I must select open-loop but not close-loop?If I select close-loop,the servo motor doesn't work too.
3,If I want my two servo motors run at different velocity,How shoud I do?It seems I just can set the same velocity in MAX for my two servo motors.
My English is poor,Pls pardon me!I come from China.
Thank you for your help!

Striving is without limit!

Hi,Jochen,
Thank you for your kindly help!
The manufacturer of the drive and motor that I am using now is Japan SANYO DENKI,drive type is RS1A01AA,motor type is R2AA06020FXP00.
And I use position control mode,thehe encoder's counts per revolution is 131072.I set the electronic gear ratio to 1:1 for drive.
Now,I can use Close-Loop to control the motor but still has some problems.When I configure it to run in closed loop mode, the motors behave strangely and never move to the target position.When I configure it to run in closed loop mode, the motors behave strangely and never move to the target position.The detail situation is as following
1,Motor can't run.
2, Or motor moves to a position, then moves in the same direction agian and eventually stops.
Except for the two points mentioned above,"Following Error" is occured frequently,I don't know why.
I am still not clear why I must set the motor type be stepper in MAX .
And I have another question:what the relationship between the steps and the counts?They have the proportion relations?I notice that there are a section said like this in help document: For proper closed-loop and p-command operation, steps per revolution/counts per revolution must be in the range of 1/32,767 < steps/counts < 32,767. An incorrect counts to steps ratio can result in failure to reach the target position and erroneous closed-loop stepper operation.
I am verry sorry I have too many questions!
I am very appreciate for your kingly help!Thanks again!

A question about the impact of SQL*PLUS SERVEROUTPUT option on v$sql

Hello everybody,
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL>
OS : Fedora Core 17 (X86_64) Kernel 3.6.6-1.fc17.x86_64I would like to ask a question about the SQL*Plus SET SERVEROUTPUT ON/OFF option and its impact on queries on views such as v$sql and v$session. Here is the problem
Actually I define three variables in SQL*Plus in order to store sid, serial# and prev_sql_id columns from v$session in order to be able to use them later, several times in different other queries, while I'm still working in the current session.
So, here is how I proceed
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; -- I often activate this option as the first line of almost all of my SQL-PL/SQL script files
SET SQLBLANKLINES ON;
VARIABLE mysid NUMBER
VARIABLE myserial# NUMBER;
VARIABLE saved_sql_id VARCHAR2(13);
-- So first I store sid and serial# for the current session
BEGIN
 SELECT sid, serial# INTO :mysid, :myserial#
 FROM v$session
 WHERE audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('UserEnv', 'SessionId');
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
-- Just check to see the result
SQL> SELECT :mysid, :myserial# FROM DUAL;
 :MYSID :MYSERIAL#
 129 1067
SQL> Now, let's say that I want to run the following query as the last SQL statement run within my current session
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;According to Oracle® Database Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) description for v$session
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/dynviews_3016.htm#REFRN30223]
the column prev_sql_id includes the sql_id of the last sql statement executed for the given sid and serial# which in the case of my example, it will be the above mentioned SELECT query on the employees table. As a result, right after the SELECT statement on the employees table I run the following
BEGIN
 SELECT prev_sql_id INTO :saved_sql_id
 FROM v$session
 WHERE sid = :mysid AND serial# = :myserial#;
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT :saved_sql_id FROM DUAL;
:SAVED_SQL_ID
9babjv8yq8ru3
SQL> Having the value of sql_id, I'm supposed to find all information about cursor(s) for my SELECT statement and also its sql_text value in v$sql. Yet here is what I get when I query v$sql upon the stored sql_id
SELECT child_number, sql_id, sql_text
FROM v$sql
WHERE sql_id = :saved_sql_id;
CHILD_NUMBER SQL_ID SQL_TEXT
0 9babjv8yq8ru3 BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES); END;Therefore instead of
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;for the value of sql_text I get the following value
BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES);Which is not of course what I was expecting to find in v$sql for the given sql_id.
After a bit googling I found the following thread on the OTN forum where it had been suggested (well I think maybe not exactly for the same problem) to turn off SERVEROUTPUT.
Problem with dbms_xplan.display_cursor
This was precisely what I did
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFFafter that I repeated the whole procedure and this time everything worked pretty well as expected. I checked SQL*Plus documentation for SERVEROUTPUT
and also v$session page, yet I didn't find anything indicating that SERVEROUTPUT should be switched off whenever views such as v$sql, v$session
are queired. I don't really understand the link in terms of impact that one can have on the other or better to say rather, why there is an impact
Could anyone kindly make some clarification?
thanks in advance,
Regards,
Dariyoosh

Hi Dariyoosh,
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON has the effect of executing dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement. Not only related to system view.
Here below what Tom Kyte is explaining in this page:
Now, sqlplus sees this functionality and says "hey, would not it be nice for me to dump this buffer to screen for the user?". So, they added the SQLPlus command "set serveroutput on" which does two things
1) it tells SQLPLUS you would like it to execute dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement. You would like it to do this network rounding after each call. You would like this extra overhead to take place (think of an install script with hundreds/thousands of statements to be executed -- perhaps, just perhaps you don't want this extra call after every call)
2) SQLPLUS automatically calls the dbms_output API "enable" to turn on the buffering that happens in the package.Regards.

Questions about Indexing and Using an Indexing POA

Although I have only about 50 users, at least 15 of them have in excess of 100,000 messages in their accounts and the POA (version 7.0.2) is regularly slowing to a crawl. (I just know that plans for revolution are fomenting!) I have embarked on a campaign to reduce these accounts by archiving everything off to get mail accounts down to 3000 or fewer pieces. I have achieved user buy-in, but have worked on only a few users so far.
In another closely related thread, it was suggested to me that the PO speed issues relate to broken indexes. And I suspect that given so many messages, the indexes were never getting fully rebuilt with the default QF POA settings. I am trying to fix that situation in addition to reducing mail account sizes. So, I have set up a second POA on another server and dedicated it to the indexing task. The /qfinterval is set for 1 hour, other /qf switches at default. The POA-QF does no mail delivery, but it does do nightly user upkeep.
The POA-QF seems to be steadily working away and making progress at reducing the number of unindexed messages. However, I have questions about what I am seeing and what more I can do:
1. Is the progress I am seeing real progress? For example I have a user with over 100,000 messages to be indexed and every time I check the logs, the count drops by about 500 messages per hourly QF cycle. I assume that if I just let it keep running, it will eventually get caught up and fixed. Not only with this user, but with all the others as well. Will my patience (and theirs) be rewarded? Are there any gotchas I need to prepare for?
2. One user has recently had virtually all of her messages successfully moved to archive. I can see them in the Archive, and do not see them in the online account. However, now over a week later, QF still shows >130,000 items still left to index for that user. The POA-QF is making slow, steady progress reducing that number, but why is this user's QF count still so high? Does it just need more time, or is there something amiss for this user?
3. I may want to rebuild indexes for single users from scratch. I have seen the TID 3105742 which tells how to do this: Essentially you turn off mail delivery functions, and make some other switch changes to dedicate the POA to indexing for just a single user, and then you let the POA rebuild the indexes. The implication of that scenario is that the POA is now enjoying exclusive access to the user's databases.
If I want to use my secondary POA-QF to rebuild a user's index from scratch, does the main POA have to be offline and the user out of GWise? That is, Does the QF process require exclusive access in order to rebuild indexes from scratch?
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Set this switch for this indexing POA - /qflevel=999 - this will index
everything in one run. It will take a long time, but with no qflevel switch you
are indeed only indexing 500 messages at a time, and if the user has that much
mail, it might never really catch up.

This is odd, because really the index count should drop to nothing, but with the
above switch this might get resolved as well.

Not really - the POA is not enjoying exclusive access to the user's database,
the indexer is just avoiding an attempt to index anything else.

No - QF never requires exclusive access. That said, you may find that an
extremely vigorous QF can cause slowdowns for the user.

Re: Questions about Plan structure

Reply-To: "Duncan Kinnear" <[email protected]>
Q. if you have an Employee class with related EmployeeSubordinate and
EmployeeSalaryHistory classes, should these all be in the same plan?
A It is better to have them in the same plan.It depends on the design
you have
Q Why should the Managers be separated from their business classes?
A Managers are usually service objects which might require different
resources.
These managers when deployed might be required by several other
applications.
Seperating them as a different plan will help in just using one
installed partition to be
Used by different applications (refer about Reference Partition)
Q If you have the Database managers separate, what scope does each DB
manager cover?
A It is better to have the DB managers in user scope.
It depends on the numbers of users, u have for the system.
Since u are talking about 100 tables. It's a huge system.
It also depends on the user licenses u have for the backend.
Take care that u use proper load balancing of DB Managers for the
system.

Hi there,
We are in the middle of designing the structure of a new system.
I have read/heard that it is best to break down the plans into the
following categories:
Business Classes
Managers/Services
Clients
I have a few questions about this structure:
Should related business classes be grouped together in Plans? E.g. if
you have an Employee class with related EmployeeSubordinate and
EmployeeSalaryHistory classes, should these all be in the same plan?
Why should the Managers be separated from their business classes?
E.g. if there is an EmployeeMgr service which deals with anything to do
with the Employee business class, why separate them in different
plans? If you need the manager to access the class, you will always
need both.
Some of the Forte documentation talks about "Policy" managers and
"Database" managers. How do the functions of these managers differ
for a simple CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) class?
If you have the Database managers separate, what scope does each
DB manager cover? I.e. do you have one for the entire database (over
100 tables in our case), or do you break it down by sub-system?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
Cheers,

Legality questions about Home Sharing

I have some legality questions about Apple's Home Sharing technology.
As I understand it, you can share (that is, copy it from one computer to another) your music, movies, applications and other iTunes-managed files amongst five computers. The only 'trick' is that each computer must have an iTunes Store account and must be logged in in order for it to work.
My question concerns the copying aspect and the legality of it. For content that was purchased through the iTunes Store I can see how Home Sharing can provide a limitation on content sharing, since all of the machines would need to be connected to Apple's servers in order for the validation process to happen. But what about content that was added to iTunes through other means, e.g., ripping my own CDs or converting my DVDs? These items can still be copied via Home Sharing and as there's no DRM on them there's no way they can be protected against "illegal" or "unauthorized" use.
It was my understanding that if I gave a copy of a song to someone else, that's illegal. Apple's Home Sharing technology seems to facilitate this action. If I rip a CD or DVD into iTunes and someone copies it out, isn't that making an illegal copy? Can I be held liable for distribution of content?
And how far does this extend? If I live in a house with four unrelated people, are they legally (?) allowed to copy music and media amongst each another? Is there a perceived or actual difference between using Home Sharing to copy a movie versus, say, using a USB flash drive? And what if one of them moves out? Am I legally obligated to go through that person's hard drive and remove content that they copied from me before they leave the building?
Does Home Sharing somehow retroactively change the copyright application on a given CD or DVD? Most of my CDs and DVDs contain notices and warnings against distributing copies. Can these warnings now be ignored, or at least amended with "...unless you're using iTunes Home Sharing" at the ends of them?
I am not trying to stir up a hornet's nest here. I'm only trying to better understand the legal issues surrounding Home Sharing and particularly how they relate to unprotected content. It seems very contradictory that the RIAA and MPAA would be fighting so hard against peer-to-peer services like BitTorrent and Gnutella while apparently allowing peer-to-peer services through iTunes Home Sharing.
Furthermore, I also understand that the intention of this system was to allow families who are living together to have common access to all of the "household" music, but my issues aren't about this. I envision, for example, a college dorm building where there's several hundred people living together on the same network subnet, and all of them have Home Sharing enabled and everyone is copying thousands and thousands of songs to/from one another. Is this now legal?
Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

If I rip a CD or DVD into iTunes and someone copies it out, isn't that making an illegal copy?
RIPping of commercial, encrypted DVDs (most of them) is illegal to begin with. Or rather, breaking the encryption on a DVD is illegal and in order to RIP the DVD, you must break the encryption. SO you have already "broken the law" by having a copy on your computer.
Most of my CDs and DVDs contain notices and warnings against distributing copies.
Most of your DVDs have a notice about even simply making a copy, not only distributing copies.
Much of your post has been cussed and discussed by many, many people (lawyers, corporations, organizations, individuals, etc.) and no one has come (or likely ever will come) to a complete agreement.
Generally, "sharing" in the same house hold amongst family members seems to be okay. Outside the same household/family is almost always not okay.
I envision, for example, a college dorm building where there's several hundred people living together on the same network subnet, and all of them have Home Sharing enabled and everyone is copying thousands and thousands of songs to/from one another. Is this now legal?
No.
This is exactly what Napster was and why they were sued & shut down.
I imagine Apple lawyers have done their homework as well as consulted with the labels to discuss these exact issues.
And it's called "Home Sharing" to indicate that it is not "Dorm Sharing" or "Workplace Sharing", or even simply "Library Sharing"etc. even though it may be possible to use it in other places than the Home.
Users on other computers need to know your iTunes ID and password to enable it Home Sharing. Likely this is how Apple got the lables to be okay with it.
Are you gonna give (and get) dozens/hundreds/thousands/any other users your iTunesID & password?
