Question concerning dates
Hi, I have a situation where I insert date values through TOAD into a table, and it appears they're stored in the MM/DD/YYYY format. However, Forms seems insistent on keeping them in DD-MON-YYYY format. For example, in my WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger, I have the following code set up:
DECLARE
BLK_ID BLOCK;
V_USERNAME VARCHAR2(20);
V_SUN DATE;
BEGIN
V_USERNAME := 'JDOE';
V_SUN := 'TO_DATE('11/3/2002', 'MM/DD/YYYY');
FORMS_DDL('ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = ''MM/DD/YYYY''');
BLK_ID := FIND_BLOCK('TMS');
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY(BLK_ID, QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME, '(
SELECT
TMS_USERNAME,
TMS_TYPE,
TMS_WORKORDERNO,
SUM(DECODE(TMS_DATE, ' || ''' || V_SUN || ''' || ', TMS_HOURS, NULL)) TMS_SUN
FROM TMS
GROUP BY TMS_USERNAME, TMS_TYPE, TMS_WORKORDERNO)');
END;
For some reason, V_SUN always ends up as '03-NOV-2002', which doesn't match what's in the table. What gives?
Nevermind, I have seen the error of my ways. ;)

Question concerning data removal from external hard drive
I have been backing up via Time Machine to a 500 Gig external hard drive. I will be adding a 1 TB external hard drive and switch the Time Machine backups to that unit. I want to then use the 500 Gig unit to store photos, music and video, to free up space on the iMac. I have found the tutorials/threads that explain how to move the photos and music. I have two questions.
First, will moving video from iMovie work basically the same as moving the photos and/or music?
Secondly, what is the proper way to remove the existing Time Machine data from the 500 gig unit, once I have the 1TB unit up and running and know that Time Machine is backing up to it?I can help with number two. There are two things you can do, one quickly, the second more securely.
Both can be done with Disk Utility in the Apps/Utilities folder. Open DU with the HDD attached to your Mac and highlight the HDD in the left hand pane and choose Erase for the right hand pane. Press the Erase button. It should happen pretty fast, but because it is a big drive it may take a couple of minutes. But this does not really erase the data, and some recovery software could do a good job of getting a lot of you data back.
Since you want to store media libraries on this drive perhaps a better way to condition the drive is to select a Security Option and write zeros to the drive. After this any bad sectors on the drive will be locked out and not used in the future. Because this is a big drive this could take a few hours.

A very basic question regarding data block
Hi All,
I've a very basic question concerning data blocks in oracle forms 10g.
I want to make a view only screen (only query allowed, no update, insert or delete).
I'll have 6-7 fields on the screen but all the fields are not from a single table.
For e.g, let say we've field names to display on the screen are f1, f2, f3, f4..
Out of this f1 and f2 will come from table A and f3, f4 will come from table B.
Now, my question : Is it possible to create a data block using the data block wizard for such situation if we select create data block from table options?
If no, can you please tell me an approach to do this.
Regards,
NavnitHello ,
First write your query & select datablock property.
just change the below properties
Query Data Source Type=From Clause Query
Query Data Source Name = (Paste query here)
now you should add the block ITEMs and give their names according to query columns names. shows the column on canvas and run..
Best Regard

Questions concerning ST Simple Transformations
I got some questions concerning Simple Transformations:
1.) When editing a simple transformation, how to insert comments? In pure ABAP, a comment line must have as asterisk in the first column...
2.) I use <tt:loop>...</tt:loop> and want to use the index of the currently processed entry, like SY-TABIX when implementing a "LOOP AT itab" in ABAP. Is there a way?
Thanks for your answer, points will be rewared...
-MIKEHi Jack, please find some sample coding below that will solve your issue:
<tt:cond check="not-initial(ref('E1EDL20.INCO1'))">
<INCO1 tt:value-ref="E1EDL20.INCO1"/>
</tt:cond>
With the simple transformation tt cond statment you can make an XML tag optional. In below example during deserialisation xml tag <INCO1> will be skipped when not availabke in the xml and SAP data E1EDL20.INCO1 will not be filled by the transformation.
Regards. Please give points when usefull ! -
Question concerning WiSM operation
I have a question concerning the operation of the wireless network and the WiSM in a 6500 that we have put in place. My customer has the following setup: On thier mainsite, they have a core 6500 with a WiSM module in place. They have 4 remote sites, with several APs at each remote site. Each remote site is setup in an all Cisco environment, where its typically AP --> cisco switch --> fiber to main site cisco switch --> core --> then on to where ever. I have an engineer telling me this, that whatever wireless data traffic (internet, anything) that hits the AP (at any site), it must go THROUGH the WiSM module. I would have thought that the WiSM module would be for ONLY management of APs, not for data traffic handling.
Again, he says that ALL traffic (internet, etc) goes through the WiSM module, then on out through the infrastructure.
I would have thought that traffic would go through the AP only, then through the infrastructure.
Can you verify wheather data traffic from any wireless device through the AP actually traverses the WiSM module or not?
Again, I thought the WiSM module would be only for management of APs. Thanks.The engineer is largely correct. By default, the APs will tunnel all traffic to the controller to be distributed according to VLAN/SSID. The controller and the AP work together to perform the normal wireless <-> wired bridging. This allows some flexibility in how the infrastructure handles mobile clients. There are many benefits to the Cisco Unified model (or LWAPP).
We have three hospital campuses and only a couple remote wireless sites. They are all well-connected. As all our primary app servers are on one campus, we only have controllers on that one campus. The client traffic is bridged at the main campus.
The Cisco Unified model does offer other modes of operation (H-REAP for example) that allow some local traffic to bypass the controller and be bridged by the AP to the local LAN. There are some caveats to this, however, and you'd want to read up on it before trying it:

Nub question concerning threads.
I recently completed my first Comp Sci. class in Java and have decided to try to continue learning on my own. I am now trying to make a pong game, using a turorial. Unforunately my course did not cover threads in any way, shape, or form. I am able to get the beginning of the program to work (code posted below) and have no problems with it; however, I do have a few questions concerning what certain elements of the code do.
1. Can someone please give a definition of a Thread in "Dummy" speach? I've looked up definitions and I can't seem to really grasp what they are and what they are used for.
2. In my program there are two lines (32 & 79) where the thread priority is changed. Can someone explain what that means and how it affects my applet?
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class BallApplet extends Applet implements Runnable
//Declare variables to change posistion
int x_pos = 10;
int y_pos = 100;
int radius = 20;
boolean rWall = false,
//The second image of the ball
private Image dbImage;
private Graphics dbg;
public void init() {}
public void start()
Thread th = new Thread(this);
th.start();
public void stop() {}
public void destroy() {}
public void run ()
Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
while(true)
while (rWall == false )
if (x_pos == 700)
rWall = true;
else
x_pos= x_pos + 5;
// repaint the applet
repaint();
try
// Stop thread for 20 milliseconds
Thread.sleep (20);
catch (InterruptedException ex)
// do nothing
// set ThreadPriority to maximum value
Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
while (rWall == true)
if (x_pos == 0)
rWall = false;
lWall = true;
x_pos = x_pos - 5;
repaint();
try
Thread.sleep(20);
catch (InterruptedException ex)
Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
public void update(Graphics g)
//initialize buffer
if (dbImage == null)
dbImage = createImage(this.getSize().width,this.getSize().height);
dbg = dbImage.getGraphics();
//clear screen in background
dbg.setColor (getBackground());
dbg.fillRect (0, 0,this.getSize().width,this.getSize().height);
//draw elements in background
dbg.setColor (getForeground());
paint(dbg);
//draw image on screen
g.drawImage(dbImage,0,0,this);
public void paint (Graphics g)
g.setColor (Color.red);
g.fillOval(x_pos - radius,y_pos - radius,2*radius,2*radius);
}Thanks for any help, it is greatly appreciated.Questie,
Please control yourself. Please.??
As the program runs it is one thread. (You canthink
of each thread as an independent program if youlike.
This is not 100% accurate but close enough that
it
might help you understand)
It will only confuse the OP
You are a flat out wrong for a number of reasons.
1) You seemed to miss the part where I did say that a
doubling in peformance is fictious and is dependent
on a number of factors.As i was telling that would only confuse the OP.Its better to be 100% precise when you explain to an OP
2) You don't understand how a multi-process OS works
in the least.Assumptions as usual
3) You don't understand how processors work in the
least.Well,what was i saying?
2 and 3 are important because your point about
context switching is not valid. First of all because
this happens anyway because your program is not the
only thing running the processor. Second because of
the first point each thread gets a timeslice, you may
with multiple threads each get a timeslice and these
slices may (and often do) add up to more total time
then the first got by itself.When you consider a solution to a problem the average and the worst case has more weightage than the best case.You are taking the best case assumption here-"because ofthe first point each thread
gets a timeslice, you may with multiple threads each
get a timeslice and these slices may (and often do)
add up to more total time then the first got by itself".Now dont stop whining that you werent.Never take the best case always coz its the average and worst case which checks if the system festers to a condition beyond rectification
For example (these numbers are fictional but I am
trying to explain it so don't go off all half-cocked
again please)
Program with one thread. Each thread gets 100 cycles
per second.
Program with four threads. Each thread gets 50 cycles
per second.
The second program will finish in half the time as
the first. Because even though each thread is slower
as a whole the program is getting twice the cycles
of the processor as before. You are taking the best case again and moreover its the cpu scheduling algo which decides the time slice and not you sitting on the CPU.I have a vague feeling that you have an idea that you are sitting on the CPU deciding the Time Slice.
You need to understand something important here. Alot
of the time when you are doing things in a program,
and this doesn't just apply to IO here, you don't
have to use the processor for each step. There is
some shifting around of things to get them ready to
be executed by the processor. A more advanced
representation of this is to be found with
Hyperthreading. Hyperthreading processors (single
core) are of course single core but they act as if
they were multi-core (multi processes) because while
only one process is actually executing at one time
the others are pipelined in such a way to make sure
that the executing core of the processor has the
least amount of idle time possible.Digression
So that means on a basic processor each time you add
2 numbers it takes 5 steps. And the processor core is
idle 80% of the time.
From where did you get that 80%?Stop coming up with your own numberes.This is no number game
So for example while some data is being placed in the
outbox new data is also being collected and is at
step 2 already. In this model while we are still on a
single core the core is now idle only 60% of the time[b]From where did you get 60% now
So yes threading is very useful for IO and other
operations that may block your program but they have
more use than just that. Parallel execution can and
will have some performance advantages (if designed
properly) even on a single core processor without
hyperthreading. In a well written multithreaded
program when you add hyperthreading and multiple
cores or multiple processors to the mix then you
really have something.I never said it wont.Read properly what i have posted.I told dont take the best case always.You need to consider that too but the other two carries more weightage
Please don't feel you ever have to post to correct me
again thanks.^^
Get ride of this self conceited attitude.Even if you have it dont make it public.Its not that you are always right cotton.I am not saying that you are wrong.If you have read my first reply i mentioned that i knew that you gave that example just to make the OP understand.The problem with that is that if the OP is unable to fathom out what you mean he is going to misconstrue whatever you have said and that propogates -
Basic questions on data modeling
Hi experts,
I have some basic questions regarding data modeling within MDM. I understand the available table types and the concept of lookup fields. I know that the MDM data modeling concept is different to the relational concept. But having a strong database background my first step was to design a relational data model which I would like to transfer to a MDM repository. Unfortunately I didn't found good information material on this. So here are some questions maybe you can help me:
1) Is it the right approach to model n:m relationships with multivalued lookup fields? E.g. main table Users with lookup field from subtable SapAccounts (a user can have accounts in different SAP systems, that means more than one account).
2) Has a record always be unique in MDM repositories (e.g. should we use Auto ID's in every table or do we have to mark a combination of fields as unique)? Is a composite key of 2 or more fields represented with marking these fields as unique?
3) The concept of relationships in MDM is only based on relationships between single records (not valid for all records in a table)? Is it necessary to define all relationships similar to the relational data model in MDM? Is there something similar to referential integrity in MDM?
4) Is it possible to change the main table to a sub table later on if we realize that it has also to be used as a lookup table for another table (when extending the data model) or do we have to create a new repository from scratch?
Thank you for your answers.
Regards, bdYes you are correct. It is almost difficult to map relational database to mdm one. But again MDM is not 'just' a database. It holds much more 'master' information as compared to any relational db.
1) Is it the right approach to model n:m relationships with multivalued lookup fields? E.g. main table Users with lookup field from subtable SapAccounts (a user can have accounts in different SAP systems, that means more than one account).
Yes Here you need to use MV look up tables or can also try Qualifier tables if it gets more complex
2) Has a record always be unique in MDM repositories (e.g. should we use Auto ID's in every table or do we have to mark a combination of fields as unique)? Is a composite key of 2 or more fields represented with marking these fields as unique?
Concept of uniqueness differs here that you also have something called Display Fields (DF). A combination of DF can also be treated as Unique one. For instance while importing records if you select these DF as a combination, you will eliminate any possible of duplicates based on this combination. Auto Id is one of the ways to have a unique id once record is within MDM. While you use UF or DF to eliminate any possible duplicates at import level
3) The concept of relationships in MDM is only based on relationships between single records (not valid for all records in a table)? Is it necessary to define all relationships similar to the relational data model in MDM? Is there something similar to referential integrity in MDM?
Hmm... good one. Referencial Integrity. What I assume you are talking is that if you have relationships between tables then removing a record will not be possible as it is a foreign key for some record. Here MDM does not allow that. As Relationships within MDM are physical and not conceptual. For instance material can have components. Now if material does not exist then any relationship to components is not worthwile to maintain. Hence relationshsip is eliminated. While in relational model relationships are more conceptual. Hence with MDM usage of lookups and main table you do not need to maintain these kind of relationships on your own.
4) Is it possible to change the main table to a sub table later on if we realize that it has also to be used as a lookup table for another table (when extending the data model) or do we have to create a new repository from scratch?
No. It is not possible to convert main table. There is only one main table and it cannot be changed.
I went for the same option but it did not work. What I suggest is to look up your legacy system one by one and see what fields in general can be classified as Master, Reference, Transactional - You will start getting answers immediately. -

Master iPad configurator question concerning cart syncing with different versions of iPads.
I have a question concerning configurator syncing.Can the master iPad be a different version of iPad than the other synced iPads? For instance can iPad 2 be the master iPad to a group of iPad Air's? The iPad 2 has some fewer capabilities than the Air, would some settings or restrictions be left off of the iPad Airs if they were set up this way? Thanks.
There is no such thing as 'master iPad'. If you're using Configurator or Profile Manager control of the setup is done from a Macintosh.

Might go for T400/500- Many questions concerning Think Vantage
Hi,
I am deciding on my first IBM, a T400 or T500
I have a few questions concerning the Think Vantage Function:
a) Does the recovery DVD set back the hard drive partitions to factory settings?
b) Does the Think Vantage function set back the hard drive partitions to factory settings?
This means the original size of the partitions, when they have been changed manually.
c) Does Think Vantage work with a self buyed Windows Vista?
d) Does Think Vantage work unter Windows XP
e) Does Think Vantage need drivers/ anything else to work or is it entirly working on the hardware side, so no software/ windows is needed
f)Will Think Vantage work under Windows 7 in a T400/500
g) How was the past situation? Did a under Windows XP working Think Vantage also work on Vista / have there been drivers delivered, when needed, for the new OS
h) Is it possible to set up a new OS (like Vista Ultimate) and then backup it up on a external hard drive and later recover from this?
What do I want to achieve?
I want to recover the factory settings at all times, this means partition size, number of partitions etc. and Windows Vista Business. Then I want to install Vista Ultimate do my settings and backing it up to an external drive or whatever and then recover from that all 3 Months. In the end I should be able to set back factory settings with the earliest/ first backup from Windows Business; Furthermore I might want to install Windows 7 sometimes.
Thank you for your help! Kind regards

Question concerning Tiger installation
Hello,
currently I have OS X 10.2.8 and most recently I bought tiger...I have a question concerning the installation process. I inserted the disk and completed the first couple of installation steps and when I get to the 3rd step to choose a hard dive to install the operating system on, my slave drive is the only option that appears, not my mac hd drive that already has the current operating system on it...should i install tiger on my slave drive or is there a way to get my home drive as an option?? I have more available space on my mac hd drive and would say that it is the main drive that contains all the information to run this computer....
any info on this matter would be greatly appreciated.....peter
