Question about SET FRMLBOTTOMUP

I'm getting unexpected resutls when using this set command and could use some feedback. EXAMPLE OF CALC - SET FRMLBOTTOMUP ON;SET UPDATECALC OFF;SET CACHE HIGH;/*This step multiplies UNITS times RATE and records the results on AMT, for all level 0 entities of North America SS */FIX(&Svar_Years,&Svar_Scenario,"FA10","FA11","FA12","FA13","FA14",@RELATIVE("XX SS",0), Local,"4111_AMT" ) "Current Version"="4111_UNITS" * "4111_RATE";ENDFIXWith SET FRMLBOTTOMUP ON Essbase calcs "4111_UNITS" * "4111_RATE" correctly but places the result in not only "4111_AMT" but also in "4111_UNITS" and "4111_RATE", erasing what was previously there. This only happens with SET FRMLBOTTOMUP ON otherwise the calc of unit times rates works fine. It also works fine if I replace the left side of the equation from "Current Version" to the account "4111_AMT" which is a dense member. I don't understand why that should matter and what about SET FRMLBOTTOMUP ON causes Essbase to place the result of the formula in the members used to generate the result in the first place. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

thanks, can u explain when this server serialization
occurs and why? the application i am using uses lots
of beans with data coming from database, and those
beans are used for display and calculation during
user interaction(one session). is there a risk of
lossing information during the interaction when
server serializes session? thanksIt depends on the Server, and on the session manager used.
For instance, Tomcat, with the default manager, will try to serialize sessions when the context is restarted so that user data is not lost during application upgrades. It will also attempt to serialize if the JVM begins to run out of memory.
A second manager available in Tomcat will try to store all session data in a database, the file system, and the like so that it does not take JVM resources. This requires serialization.
Finally, You can use load balancing or other clustering techniques to back up Tomcat (so one server doesn't do all the work, or if it goes down, other servers will handle requests). Since sessions will need to be shared (or sharable) between different servers, the data must be serializable so it can be sent from one to the other (or actually sent and received through an external storage system like a DB) they must be serializable for this to work...

Question about Setting Window Title/the use of AVWindowSetTitle()

Hi everyone,
I have a question about setting the title of the window in which the Acrobat viewer normally opens a PDF file. The documentation states that AVWindowSetTitle() cannot be used in this case. However, using it has worked with versions of Acrobat/Reader up until and including version 8.
Everything breaks down starting with Acrobat 9.
According to the documentation I am supposed to do the following: "To set the title of a window in which the Acrobat viewer opens a PDF file, you must replace AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams() and pass the window title in tempTitle."
Unfortunately, there are 2 problems I have with this approach:
     I do need to be able to change the document title on document Save, not only on document Open
     I do not know what AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams() implementation has to look like if I have to replace it using HFTReplaceEntry().
Is there a sample customized implementation of AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams() somewhere that I could take a look at?
Is there a way to change a document Title inside Acrobat/Reader window after a Save operation?
Thanks a million,
Lana2010K

     I am sorry. I don't know how you tested this and came to conclusion that this works correctly in Acrobat X.
     I just tested our Acrobat plug-in with a trial version of Acrobat X and this did not work.
     When we open a file in Acrobat (doing it ourselves in the plug-in by adding another specialized open) we set the window title to something different from the default file name. Then if a file gets edited and saved (File->Save), the window title gets reset to the file name. In the PDDocDidSave callback we call AVWindowSetTitle() to set it back to a more descriptive window title we need. This has worked up until and including Acrobat 8, but does not work in either version 9.0 or 10.0.
     Also, I just modified the plug-in code to always change the Window Title of every document (even if opened through native File->Open) on document Save. It does not work.
     Please help,

Question about setting cookies and custom authentication

I have a question about setting cookies.
I have two different 'projects' in HTMLDB - we will call them App1 and App2.
I also have two different connection configurations setup in the DADs.conf file. - we will call them Connect1 and Connect2.
App1 is setup to use database authentication (no user is specified in the DAD) and uses Connect1. Once the user successfully logs in, we set a username cookie (this is a persistent connection).
We created a custom authenticatoin scheme for App2 - this scheme checks for the username cookie (set by App1). We would like for App2 to use Connect2 (HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER is the default user specified and it uses connection pooling).
Is it possible to set a cookie from App1, Connect1 for App2, Connect2 - then redirect to App2 and pick up that cookie?
Here is an example of what we are trying to accomplish:
A user loggs into App1, we set a cookie, and the user is redirected to App2. If the cookie exists, we allow them access to the home page in App2, if no cookie, we redirect back to a 'Login Failed' page in App1. We don't want App2 to use the same database connection as App1 though, we need App2 to use connection pooling.
Is this possible? OR...Is there a better way to accomplish what we want to do?
This is an enhancement to an existing app. Our requirements are to use Database Authentication (setup where pass expires after 60 days or so, cannot reuse last 3 passwords, etc.) - which is already setup and being used by other applications in our organization. All of our users have accounts in the database. We don't want users to have a new username/pass - and we don't want to manage a separate group for HTMLDB apps.
The existing application uses HTMLDB's built in authentication - which uses database username/pass, and it uses connection pooling, but we cannot handle the pass expire stuff in it, unless there's something we're not seeing or understanding - at least that's how our DBA explained it to us.
Any help with this will be appreciated so much. I can send you the code we have if needed.
Thanks!

Same problem here. I have so many problems with this remote app. Is there an iTunes API? I would like to write my own remote app that actually works.

Question about setting track level

Hi I finally got my new macbook pro and moto 8 pre and have just today tried a bit of recording just to get used to it. I am at the moment using garage band. I have a question about track levels. In Garage Band when I select a track to record there is a slider for input level or an option of clicking the automatic level control. But for some reason they are both just that color of grey you get when something can not be selected on a computer. How do I activate this? It's strange as I did actually manage to record the track, I just can't seem to really adjust the level. I thought maybe it has to do with the motu and I can only select the track level there, and that garage band level setting are (rightfully) disabled? Maybe that's what I should be doing, but just a bit confused. Anyway, thanks in advance for whoever takes the time to help out a newbie.

Ah, ok. Good to know. Thanks for the info.

Question about setting Rows to "All" for defualt Interactive Report

I have a default report with 2 user requirements that I have some questions about.
1. The report in the data sould be 90 days old.
2. The report show "All" rows.
First to set the date I have this page process:
apex_util.ir_clear(p_page_id => 2);
apex_util.ir_filter(p_page_id=>2,
p_report_column=>'REQUISITION_DATE',
p_operator_abbr=>'GTE',
p_filter_value=>SYSDATE - 90);
I also set the rows to "All" and save the report to be the default. However I think when the "apex_util.ir_clear(p_page_id => 2)" is executed it clears someting and my report opens with rows set to "15".
Any ideas on this or even a better way to do it?

the following link may help...
It says that the ir_clear "Clears any report filters including default filters"
apex_util.ir_* documentation - where to find them?

Question about setting up a workstation with Aperture 2

hello, I hope I will get some help from here.
I guess first I should list the things I have, this will make it easier. I have a Macbook Pro with 10.5.6, a Samsung 24" monitor, Aperture 2, Photoshop CS4, CANON Pro9000 Printer, and Pantone Huey Screen calibrator.
So I already have both my screen (macbook Pro's and Samsung's) calibrated. My question is about how to correctly set up my printer.
I went on Canon's website and try to download the driver for the CANON printer, But I see there is 3 different version for the driver, i am not sure which one to choose. One is for 10.3.9 and above, one is for OSX CUP (which i donno what it means).
and do I need to install any of the canon software or plug-ins? I thought the printer color profile is in the driver as well. and aperture should pick that up fine. but for max quality printing, am i better off with the canon software? if so which one should i USE? Easy Photo Printing EX or Easy Photo Printing PRO?
last... I guess it will be nice if someone can point me the right steps to make a print after I have done everything I want to in Aperture. if you guys can give me a step by step guides for printing from Aperture 2 to Canon Pro9000 with Canon Photo Paper Pro II. and is photoshop is must have in the printing process? I really would love to stick with Aperture as much as possible. but again, quality go first...
Thank you for reading my post, and thank you even more for replying.

Challenging, yes, here is a link to a podcast on the O'Reilly website, hope this helps, I found it very useful. I actually subscribe to the podcast (via itunes) and find that there are some great topics.

Newbie question about setting up iTunes to sync across multiple computers

Hi,
Right now I am using iTunes primarily for listening to streaming radio. However in about 2-3 weeks after I move, I am considering importing all my CDs into iTunes.
So my question is this. What can I do before I start that will make my life easier for syncing my iTunes across multiple computers.
I don't expect the computers to connect to each via internet but I do have a 4 GB flash disk and 230 GB firewire drive that could be used. And since one of the computers is MacBook Pro, I could use it in target mode I think.
Thanks.

Authorization only applies to computers. When you update a device any protected content on the device for which the library is not authorised will be removed. Otherwise no attempt is made to remove content that was added by a now deauthorised library.
There is a separate scheme permitting up to 10 devices (computers, iPhones, iPad or iPod touches) to be registered for automatic downloads of your purchases with a different mechanism for deregistering devices.
Once you have a file on your computer you can physically copy it to any other computer in the same way that you would copy any other file like a Word document, put it on a disk, email it if not too large, burn it to DVD, stick it on an external hard drive or move it over a network. You can use Get Info. To tell you where it is now and you can drop it into the library at the other end.
The user tip shows how to backup the whole library and then update that backup efficiently. Such a backup to a portable drive also provides a possible tool for transporting any content to another computer.

A few questions about setting up a network drive

Hello,
I have been trying setup a private server on my home network. I have a Netgear WNDR 3800 and have been trying to hook up my 2TB external drive to the router.
I have been trying to decide how I want to format the drive, and how many partitions I should use.
The reason I have a 2TB drive is because I needed a work space to create a image of a corrupt 500GB drive. The 500GB drive had my entire digital life on it, and it was almost lost. I dont want to encounter the same issue with a 2TB drive because at that point I feel like any issues would make it difficult for me to recover the data due to work space size issues. This is why I am thinking about using several partitions, but I am not sure what issues this might present.
As far as format goes; the router says it supports read/write with FAT 16/32, NTFS, EXT 2/3, and I know it works with HFS. Here are the things that I am trying to do with the drive. (in order of importance)
Use it as a Time Machine backup location for 1 possible more MBP's
As a media sever to stream downloaded movies and music to A/V reciever (Pioneer VSX-822) and possibly other devices on the network
Act as a temporary storage location to swap files between devices or operating systems
If possible not keep media on my computer and stream it from the network drive when I am home
And, thats all I can think of right now. If there is something else useful I am missing that would need special attention in setting up a network drive let me know.
So, I have had no problems getting the drive to connect and show up on the network when I use HFS. I have also been able to get multiple partitions to show up; been able to back up to different partitions; including time machine on one partition.
So here is where I am running into problems; the router bios allows you to enable a media sever. I believe the router tries to do something with DLNA. DLNA I believe allows for a similar functions to airplay and cloud for basically all compatible non apple products. I dont care if I use DLNA, or Airplay. I just want to be able to access my music library over the network without having to have my computer open, or my iphone on me..ect.
So I was wondering if anyone could help me out, or if there are any articles I should look at that I might have missed while I have been researching.
Edit: I am sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, I figured the best people to ask about filesystem compatability and ease of use was going to be the System software section

A zillion questions about setting up and using external hard drive

Hello. I recently purchased a Cavalry 440GB CACE USB/FW800 7200 RPM 3.5 in Mac Formatted hard drive. My Mac is a Power PC G4 using OS X 10.2.8.
After much back and forth with the Cavalry support desk, I was able to connect it to my Mac. (The USB cable included was not compatible--fortunately, my printer cable was.)
Through Disk Utility I see that my Mac is detecting the hard drive, but there's no icon on my desktop. My questions are as follows:
1. How do I get the icon on my desktop?
2. It was suggested on this board to partition the hard drive. What exactly is partitioning, and is it necessary?
3. If I do partition the hard drive, into how many partitions should I make it?
4. Once the number of partitions is set, can that number be changed? In other words, can it be repartioned without erasing anything?
5. My main purpose for getting the external hard drive is to move all my movies off my Mac. I'm sure I will want to back up other files as well. Should I create one partition for all the movies, and one for photos, one for files, etc.?
6. Once I get the icon on my desktop, is transferring files as simple as dragging the files onto the icon?
7. Once I move files to the hard drive, is it simple to move them back to the Mac if I need to use them again?
OK, that's all for now. I appreciate your patience in dealing with all my questions! Thanks.

Hello,
I'll try my best on the first seven. The remaining zillion minus seven questions will have to wait!
1. If the drive really is Mac-formatted it should just appear. Firstly check that hard disks are set to appear on the desktop. In the Finder go to Finder > Preferences... >General tab and ensure that the box to show hard disks on the desktop is checked. If that doesn't work go to Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities >Disk Utility. Select the drive in the left hand pane and then click on the "Erase" tab. Erase the disk and ensure the format is "Mac OS Extended (with Journalling)".
2. Partitioning is splitting the physically drive into two or more volumes. This will allow you to compartmentalise your data. You will have two or more icons appear on the desktop if you do partition. Although they are on the same physical disk you will be limited on each of the volumes to the size you set at the time of partitioning. If you do partition the drive be sure to use the "Apple Partition Map" not "GUID Partition Map". The latter is for Intel Macs.
3. Whatever you want. My experience is that too many partitions and you loose flexibility in your storage space. Personally on my external drive I have a partition that is exactly the same size as my internal hard drive. I then use that to do a regular clone backup. I then have a second partition for general use. This means I can put files on the external but still guarantee I have enough spare to backup fully.
4. No. Not without third party tools.
5. As I said above, in my opinion the best use is to create a partition for backup and a partition for all other use.
6. Yes absolutely. However if you plan on moving libraries like iTunes or iPhoto then you'll need to show the applications where the libraries are again.
7. Yes.
Some extra pointers:
A. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup your internal drive to the external. Clones are fantastic backups as even if the internal drive bursts into flames you will have an identical copy of all user data and settings: http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html (scroll to the very bottom for the version suitable for 10.2.8).
B. Don't use USB to connect the hard drive it's not very fast. Firewire 400 is significantly faster and will allow the iMac to be booted from the external drive in an emergency (USB will not boot a G4 Mac).
Hope that helps a little.

Question about sets in report painter.

Hi, everybody. Please, could someone help me in this matter?.
I wanna delete a set with the GS04 transaction in Report Painter but I cannot.
When I put the set's id (XXX) in the set's name and push Delete-Set-F8 button, I get the following error:
The XXX set cannot be deleted.I consult the error with the help and SAP tells me that I need to use the set-usage option to view where the set is used in the system.
I select this set-usage option under the utilities menu and SAP tells me that the set is being used in a report.
The thing is that the report doesnt exist. I deleted the report before. Why the error is then.
However, I created, generated and compiled the report again in report painter with other different set so that I confirmed that the report was not using the XXX set and the error continues with report or without it.
That I tried to say was that the XXX set is not being used anywhere and the question then is why report painter is telling me that the set is being used in a report. Thing that is not true.
Thanks and I hope someone can help me out!!

Newbie question about setting the date of a UIDatePicker

I created a UIDatePicker in my view and called it targetDate.
If I don't set targetDate's date property, the UIDatePicker shows up by default with a date of November 30, 0002.
So, when the view loads, I did this:
NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
targetDate.date = today;
(Note: in the above expression, the square brackets around "NSDate date" don't show up and are turning the expression into a link instead.)
After doing that, when the view loads the UIDatePicker object initially shows the correct month and date, but it shows 0001 as the year.
So my question is, why doesn't this set the correct year?
In the Interface Builder the UIDatePicker's minimum and maximum dates are set from 1/1/0001 to 1/1/4001. I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem. I assumed that was just setting the allowed range for picking.
I don't know what the "Date" setting field in the IB above the minimum date field is supposed to be for either.
Anyway, am I not setting the date property correctly?
Thanks,
doug
Message was edited by: Doug Lerner2

Instead of setting the .date property when the view loads I ended setting it when the UIDatePicker is displayed and the date setting works ok now.
By the by, if you have very early dates set, like January 1, 0001, the dates of the months are off by a few days. I guess that has to do with the whatever happened like 1000 years ago when they made a big adjustment to the calendars.

Questions about setting up an new AirPort Extreme

Greetings,
Here is some background information. Currently my wife and I have two PC running XP and are networked with a Linksys Wireless G 2.4 GHz router. On the network we share files and a printer.
For Christmas I received a MacBook Pro. Yeah! (My last Mac was a PowerMac G3) When I set up my MacBook Pro it connected to our current network and I can use the printer. The MacBook Pro set everything up effortlessly.
Here is my new situation. My wife liked my MacBook Pro so much that she has ordered an iMac. Also, we have received a new AirPort Extreme. We are going to switch to all Macs for our computers.
We want to replace the Linksys with the AirPort Extreme and have it network our printer (HP OfficeJet Pro 7580 all-in-one, the iMac and my MacBook Pro.
I have been studying the Setup Guide to connect the AirPort Extreme.
Finally here is my Question.
The set up guide instructs to plug in the printer with the USB port into the AirPort Extreme. It is not wireless. However, the guide does not specify if the printer needs to be powered on when it is plugged into the AirPort Extreme's USB port.
Should all of the devices I want plugged into the AirPort Extreme be powered on before I plug them in?
The end result will be having the AirPort Extreme network our two Macs, the HP printer and our two PC until we can make a complete change over to all Macs.
Thanks in advance for your help and support,
Leigh

Sounds like you got it down, how to do it...
The answer to your question can be simple or somewhat complex. So I'll make it really, really simple.
You can plug the printer in with it on or off, but it'll work better and more consistently if you first power-on the printer, let it go through it's own self test then plug it into the Airport Extreme.

Question about setting up an email server

I want to store my own mail in a dedicated server I have but I don't know if it's possible to send and receive email reliably if I'm unable to change the server's PTR record. Anyone has any experience?

Hi there,
I know it has been quite a few days but better late than never i guess
First of all, PTR record has nothing to do with receiving emails so you will be ok for that part.
For out going emails, short answer is I have seen quite a few servers run without matching PTR records so it leads me to believe it is possible. It will probably increase the spam score of your messages so you may want to look at things like SPF and DKIM to balance that.
Long answer goes something like this:
In an effort to minimimize spam on my servers I have set my MTA (postfix) to reject emails that don't have have matching reverse dns records. It backfired big time. I found out even some of the biggest companies don't have proper PTR setup so it was rejecting all kinds of valid emails and I had to disable the check. This leads me to believe all the big hosting companies/ISPs don't block emails based on their originating server's PTR so you should be good to go. You "might" run into problems with paranoid mail servers but in my experiance it doesn't really happen.
Also if you are setting the server up at home/small office make sure your ISP doesn't block port 25 as most does. You can also contact your ISP to see if they would agree to set up an PTR record for you. If they agree it would be one less thing to think about

Questions about setting it up

Hello,
I am considering buying a time capsule because I have recently had the 'joy' of reinstalling Mac OS X and loosing some files, even though I recovered almost everything, I know it would have been much easier if I had a time machine backup. But first I just need to know somethings about it.
This is my network at the moment, I have internet ranges from 4000 to 6000 kbps downloads and around 600kbps uploads:
Ethernet ---> 500gb 2.8ghz al iMac, 110gb Windows XP PC and 250gb Vista PC
Internet ---> ADLS2 modem / router with ethernet and wireless a/b/g --->
Wireless ---> Xbox 360, PS3 & Apple TV, and HP Photosmart 6200 series.
Basically I want to connect everything except the 2 windows PC's wirelessly, but at the moment it is too slow for my iMac because I often move files over the network to the Vista PC. Is the time machine a modem like the thing I have now or will I need to bridge the connection so it looks like this:
Wireless to Time Capsule---> (N) iMac, Apple TV, (G) PS3, Xbox 360, Printer
Internet ---> Old modem / router ---> via ethernet to Time Capsule --->
Wired to Time Capsule---> Vista PC, XP PC.
How would I set all this up, and what would be the best setup? The HDD of the time capsule would basically just be for time machine and maybe a few other important files form the PC's. thanks. Sam

Time Capsule is a N router and a network hard drive. I would not set up the network as you suggested.
I would isolate the G computers and the N computers.
Since TC has gigabit ethernet you should go something like this:
Main computer wired to TC (there are three lan ports and one wan port. Modem to TC. Computer #2 wired to TC. Second router wired to TC in bridge mode and TC and bridge router set up to create their own wirelss network. TC set for multicast 12 and N 5 GHZ goes well with imac. Bridged router set for N +(B/G) for non extreme wireless cards. Xbox360 will not connect to TC(if security enabled) but Express router wired to TC and set to create its own network will connect to xbox360.
Only problem I fore see is the bridged router. If it is third party, ie non-Apple you may have troubles. OR - you can bridge the TC and reduce the troubles but then you would be wasting its speed potential.
Anyway Apple TV wireless to TC set for N at 5 GHZ should get you (assuming no interference of any kind) about 11.15 M/sec. If you end up slow then expect dropout in itunes with the Apple TV.
hope this clears things up.
