Questions About Data Form

Hi guys,
just a general question: When we make a "big" data form, it typically causes performance issues or crashes. My question is, what is limiting the size of the data form? Is it the fact that Essbase has to pull up a lot of data at once? Is it the fact that web applications are limited in capacity? Would just like to get people's thoughts on this general issue.
Another general, somewhat vague question: IF I did want to make a huge data form, lets just say 10 cost centers, 400 accounts per cost center on the rows and period, a couple of scenarios and years on the columns, would it help if I created a machine dedicated to the planning web app? Would increasing RAM/CPU help ?

Increasing the RAM will certainly help with forms as large forms can cause the Java application to crash, remember if it is 32bit planning you are restricted on the maximum memory setting, which is 2GB but in reality about 1.4-1.6GB

  • Few common questions about Mobile Forms

    Hello, everyone!
    I have a few questions about mobile forms:
    Can a form be integrated with a portal, which is build NOT on Adobe CQ\AEM technology?
    I've created a form and loaded it to the server repository via Form Manager. Now I can access it in my browser like this:
    http://testlcserver:8080/lc/content/xfaforms/profiles/hrform.html?contentRoot=repository%3 A%2F%2F%2FApplications%2FTest%2F1.0&template=UberForm.xdp&dataRef=
    And the question is: what is the right way to share forms to users on a production environment (without integration in a portal pages on so on, let it be just a link to a form which users have to fill in)?  I mean, should it be the same link, or it is only for developers need and to share forms to users some other way must be used?

    For integrating on custom portal, you would need to integrate with form submit proxy for handling of submission as mentioned @ http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/help/mobile-forms/mobile-forms-service-proxy.html.
    As far as url of form is concerned, it’s really up you. You can choose to hide the request parameters as couple of other customers are doing. You can find more information about hiding form template and content root from request parameter @ http://blogs.adobe.com/foxes/hide-parameters-from-mobile-form-url/

  • I have a question about Data Rates.

    Hello All.
    This is a bit of a noob question I'm sure. I don't think I really understand Data Rates and how it applies to Motion... therefore I'm not even sure what kind of questions to ask. I've been reading up online and thought I would ask some questions here. Thanks to all in advance.
    I've never really worried about Data Rates until now. I am creating an Apple Motion piece with about 15 different video clips in it. And 1/2 of them have alpha channels.
    What exactly is Data Rate? Is it the rate in which video clip data is read (in bits/second) from the Disc and placed into my screen? In Motion- is the Data Rate for video only? What if the clip has audio? If a HDD is simply a plastic disc with a dye read by "1" laser... how come my computer can pull "2" files off the disc at the same time? Is that what data transfer is all about? Is that were RAM comes into play?
    I have crunched my clips as much as I can. They are short clips (10-15seconds each). I've compressed them with the Animation codec to preserve the Alpha channel and sized them proportionally smaller (320x240). This dropped their data rate significantly. I've also taken out any audio that was associated with them.
    Is data rate what is slowing my system down?
    The data rates are all under 2MBs. Some are as low as 230Kbs. They were MUCH higher. However, my animation still plays VERY slowly.
    I'm running a 3GigRam Powerbook Pro 2.33GHz.
    I store all my media on a 1TB GRaid Firewire 800 drive. However for portability I'm using a USB 2 smartdisk external drive. I think the speed is 5200rpm.
    I'm guessing this all plays into the speed at which motion can function.
    If I total my data rate transfer I get somewhere in the vicinity of 11MBs/second. Is that what motion needs for it to play smoothly a 11MBs/second data connection? USB 2.0 is like what 480Mbs/second. So there is no way it's going to play quickly. What if I played it from my hard drive? What is the data rate of my internal HDD?
    I guess my overall question is.
    #1. Is my thinking correct on all of these topics? Do my bits, bytes and megs make sense. Is my thought process correct?
    #2. Barring getting a new machine or buying new hardware. What can I do to speed up this workflow? Working with 15 different video clips is bogging Motion down and becoming frustrating to work with. Even if only 3-4 of the clips are up at a time it bogs things down. Especially if I throw on a glow effect or something.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Data rate DOES make a difference, but I'd say your real problem has more to do with the fact that you're working on a Powerbook. Motion's real time capabilities derive from the capability of the video card. Not the processor. Some cards do better than others, but laptops are not even recommended for running Motion.
    To improve your workflow on a laptop will be limited, but there are a few things that you can try.
    Make sure that thumbnails and previews are turned off.
    Make sure that you are operating in Draft Mode.
    Lower the display resolution to half, or quarter.
    Don't expect to be getting real time playback. Treat it more like After Effects.
    Compressing your clips into smaller Animations does help because it lowers the data rate, but you're still dealing with the animation codec which is a high data rate codec. Unfortunately, it sounds necessary in your case because you're dealing with alpha channels.
    The data rate comes into play with your setup trying to play through your USB drive. USB drives are never recommended for editing or Motion work. Their throughput is not consistent enough for video work. a small FW drive would be better, though your real problem as I said is the Powerbook.
    If you must work on the powerbook, then don't expect real-time playback. Instead, build your animation, step through it, and do RAM previews to view sections in real time.
    I hope this helps.

  • Simple question about tabular forms: error in MRU

    hi to all,
    i write here to check if what i think about tabular forms is confirmed.
    If i build a master- detail or tabular form and the underlying table are modified, the page where the tabulare form is contained doesn't work anymore.
    if what i've written above is correct, is there a way to realign the fields of the tabular forms to the db fields and make my page work again without rebuilding all?
    Can i modify something, somewhere inside apex to make my page run again?
    The error i get (in italian / english)
    Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Errore in MRU: riga= 0, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: La versione corrente dei dati nel database è cambiata da quando l'utente ha iniziato il processo di aggiornamento. checksum corrente = "ED73B05FA6016F8D5F3B4B5B69AF482D", checksum elementi = "CFD72DCC4221A340057D654B54EA7A04"., update "NEWPROJ"."CNT_VAL_SEG_DEMO" set "ID" = :b1, "FK_CNT" = :b2
    Means: The version of data in db (fields of the tables?) has changed since the user started the update process.
    By the way this sentence under my opinion can trick you as
    in italian 'La versione corrente dei dati nel database'
    can means both that data contained in tables have changed (dml error / process error / data the user see not are the real underlying data). Can mean as well the field definition is changed, however a more meaningful message in italian is: ' la definizione delle tabelle usate dall'oggetto tabular form é cambiata'.
    That translated in english is ' DDL of table/s used by tabular form has changed'.
    thanx a lot

    HI Heinz,
    yes is now clear, however is a pity that a litte change in the query has a lot of
    implications: a change in the structure of DB means new feature / the data model is not alligned with current requirement. So usually (but not always) it means changing the SELECT as well.
    Such Apex is a Rad an impression is that if you build a complex forms with several linked reports / field and one day you have to change the query of the TABULAR FORM / MASTER DETAIL generated with report you get a lot of rebuilding.
    I think i will avoid the use of this 2 object in the future and use more htmldb.items in the select.
    bye bye

  • Question about data extraction from web forms

    I am developing a simple web form in DreamWeaver MX for
    increased accesibility for users who utilize screen reader
    software, as navigating PDF forms is still currently very difficult
    for most of the screen readers to navigate. I was wondering if
    there is a way to take an .asp webform that a user fills out and
    when they hit a print button it would extract the data from the
    form and open an Adobe PDF form and populate the data they entered
    into specific fields within the PDF form which would allow them to
    print an official copy of the form they used the web version to
    complete. Any insight into this possibility is greatly appreciated!

  • Question about creating Forms in Java.

    Hello , im new to Java , i find kinda weird how Java creates Forms , its pretty simple in Oracle Forms ,
    why did Java designers make it this difficult ? do people say this is something bad about Java ?
    when i learned about the Layout Managers that Java provides i found out how much code one have to write just to create a simple form ,my question to the experienced java developers : what do you do to create a form , do you hard code it ? , or do you use something like GUI Builder in an IDE like NetBeans for example? and is the code generated by this builder easy to deal with and modify ?

    why did Java designers make it this difficult ? do people say this is something bad about Java ?Some Oracle Forms fans certainly do. But the truth is that Oracle Forms application tie down all the components in fixed pixels. The typical Swing form can be resized and can function at different screen resolutions. So, when designing a Java form, we don't tend to work on a fixed grid but define the sizes and positions relative to other components. What's more the interface between the form elements and the data is completely flexible, and flexibility means extra effort.

    Most I've tried have been a bit of a straitjacket, but I've recently been using the latest Netbeans offering and it's pretty good. I think the breakthrough was the introduction of the GroupLayout layout manager. This is a layout manager really designed for WYSIWYG form designers (pretty challenging to use hand coded).
    The way these things work is that the class generated contains some methods which cannot be edited by hand, but you can add any amount of your own code without interfering with the generated code. You hook your own code snippets into the generated code, for example you can select a property of an object, say the model of a JTree, and select "user code", then type in an expression returning the TreeModel you want to use.
    With listeners the designer will generate the method signature etc. but you can edit the body of the listener method.
    However I would always recommend that you hand code a form or two before resorting to on of these editors because it's important you understand the code, even where a designer writes it.

  • General question about data recovery from raid on windows server !

    hi,
    I like to buy data recovery software for windows server  to recover data with  any raid( or whitout raid
    so the company tells me you should be sure the Raid can be recognized correctly as local disk drive first, otherwise, our product  wil not help you.  so if I want to recover data of my customers which has windows server with any raid form ,how
    I can make this server harddisks(which is raid 1,5,6 ect)recognized coorectly as local disk drive.
    thanks

    I have myself NAS which is connected to my computer through router.
    I am started smal bussines ,and I want to use also data recovery service for deleted documents,photo's,formatted drives ect.for my customers .things that accidantally errased from raid or non raid
    so I found some data recovery softwares
    1-stellarphoenix data recover,which has remote acces and netwerk acces.
    2--ease use data recovery software.  I liked this second software,but they telling me like this,
    you should be sure the Raid can be recognized correctly as local disk drive first, otherwise, our product  wil not help you.
    I understand the both situations you telling me.thanks
    but my question is can I not run data recovery software from bootable usb stick on the smal  servers like essential with raid to recover data in case of any problems that caused data loose.
    I know if I install data recovery software on the server to scan it ,it wil rewrite some places on harddisk and that is not wise.

  • Question about using Forms in a special project or not

    Hi,
    We have a project which must be available via internet. The estimated users of this application, in worth case, can be something about 2000. All users belong to a company but are distributed around the country.
    All the development team in our company know Forms Builder (up to 10g) and have several years experience in using that in different projects. Two of our developers know APEX and non of us knows java and ADF.
    My question is that is it really possible to develop such an application using Forms? Can we just use APEX for that? or we have to jump into Jdeveloper and ADF? Please look at the problem from all aspects if you would like to guide me. What i mean is that if you say we have to use java and ADF, then learning of these is a seperate project itself and we don't have a large time window for project. The budjet of project is also a serious thing.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alireza Vali

    2000 concurrent sessions...now that would require quite a big application server farm if you are using forms for this project. As you have experience in PL/SQL and none in Java/ADF the decision shouldn't be that hard. Java is an Object Oriented language whereas PL/SQL is procedural which means quite different ways of doing things when you e.g. want to write APIs. If you don't have any expierience in any Object Oriented language starting off with a quite big project in java might not be a good idea. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't learn java at all, but when learning a new language you usually start with a "Hello World" application, and not with writing a operating system with that language.
    APEX on the other hand is plain PL/SQL and not just for small websites; a good sample is the asktom site; it is written in APEX and I guess it has a fair amount of traffic.
    So APEX has some benefits
    - you have already knowledge in house
    - you are familiar with the language
    - APEX doesn't require an application server license; you can use oracle XE and if you don't want to expose the database to the www use a plain apache server to handle the http request
    So if it were me, APEX would be the way to go.
    cheers

  • Some questions about data traffic

    Hi Guys,
    I live in Kong Kong and have an iphone 3g at the latest version 2.2. I am on a 3 HK plan and all is well when I am in Hong Kong. My work pays for all my phone costs and up until now there has not been any issues. The problem is that I travel a lot with my work to many countries in Asia and some in Europe and when I am there, most times I wait until I have access to a wireless network to get my emails, or as I always carry with me an airport express, I wait until I am in the hotel room and set up my wireless network and away I go. The problem is sometimes I need to get my emails and so I turn on data roaming and download my emails. I have the account set to manual pull and so I can monitor the data that I donwload. The current problem is that the IT department has flagged my increased costs when roaming compared to my colleagues who roam with a blackberry and in some cases it is 10 times the cost. For example, for 3 days in China last month, my bill was about 1000HKd which equates to about 10MB of data. My colleague who was there at the same time with a blackberry who would have a similar amount of emails had a cost of about 90HKd which equates to about 900b of data.
    I decided to check today and so reset my data usage monitor and downloaded 9 emails of normal size, no pictures just text and it came to 406KB. Surely this cannot be correct. If it is, and this is my question, is there anywhere that I can limit the amount of data that is downloaded for each email and is there anywhere I can set the emails downloaded for work to be text only and not HTML. My work email is syncing using activesync with my work exchange server.
    If I cannot find a way to overcome this, I will either have to stop using data roaming when I am abroad or I will have to take back my blackberry and start using it again which is not what I want at all.
    I love the iPhone and actually my IT Manager does not want me to have to use the blackberry and cannot believe it is so data intensive.
    Any help from you fellow iPhone lovers would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    I don't know about your question 1 and 2. Seems like it could be a workout that wasn't ended or just a glitch.
    What was your goal? It will measure whatever you set it to measure. Calories burned, distance, run more often, etc.
    I set a run more often goal of at least 3 times in 16 weeks. It is averaging and making a calculated guess from that average as to when those runs would take place. So if I run three days in a row and not again that week, I will be ahead of my goal, and then the system catches up and I'm on target again.
    I imagine it's doing the same for your goal.

  • Report based on custom Query - Question about Data Source

    Hello,
    I am trying to create Crystal reports (EBO R3.1, Oracle 11g Database, CR2008) based on custom queries. Tried using different kinds of Data Sources but getting stuck once I export them to Infoview.
    1. Using Oracle Server: This method works fine on my local & Infoview. But since I have lot of reports, I do not want the DB username/password associated to the report. I neither want BO to prompt username/pwd to my user.
    2. Using ODBC(RDO):
    Again, works fine on my local. Once I export to Infoview, it fails with this error: "Failed to open the connection"
    Which makes sense, because the DSN is created on my local machine and not on the server.
    How and what do I create on the server, so that the reports run?
    I do not know if using ODBC(RDO) is even the right way for creating custom SQL reports.
    I have been reading about Business Views, but not clear on how good they work.
    My goal is to create multiple reports, using custom SQL queries which use some kind of connection to the database that can be managed on the
    server in one place, and used by multiple reports.
    Can any of you please help me here
    Thanks,
    Sowmya.

    Thanks for moving it to the right forum!!
    But, if I setup in CMC, a default username/password that the report needs....what would happen if my password changes?
    I would need to go to each and every report and update the password.
    I am looking for using one common "connection" for multiple reports. So that, when passwords change, all I update is in one central location.
    Can anyone please help!

  • Question about Dates in Project View

    I usually have no problems when it comes to date metadata, changing dates if need be, batch changes, etc... But this is something that is confusing me and I haven't been able to solve it.
    My wife found one of her old PAS digital cameras, and it had images on the card. I decided to import them for her into Aperture, but it was immediately apparent to me that the date and times were off. The time zone was fine, so I imported the images using a card reader, adding the appropriate metadata of my choosing. After importing the images, I proceeded to change the date and time to the correct dates and times. This worked fine as well, only in Project view, the project doesn't fall into the right place. I have my projects organized into folders, and have them set to Date - Oldest First. The photos from this import show as today's date when I scroll over the image preview box and the project is organized as the last project, which is consistent with that date. The metadata shows that the file date is the date that I set it to be (which in this case would make it the oldest project in the folder). Nothing I do changes anything.
    I then decided that maybe it had something to do with importing the images via a card reader instead of off of the Camera directly, so I decided to import straight from the camera. This time, the project is organized as the oldest project, but when I scroll over the Project preview box, the date that shows up is the original incorrect date, not the new date that I changed the photos to. The new date would still make the images the oldest project.
    I really just want the dates to match up, and I can't imagine why the Projects preview is showing me one date when the metadata (and my own knowledge of the situation) is telling me that it should be showing a different date. When I made the adjustments to the date and time, I also applied the changes to the Master file.
    Does anyone know what is going on here, why Aperture has a problem with something like this and if there is anyway to fix the problem?
    Much obliged,
    Mac

    Update:
    I just solved the issue, but I don't know why it should work like this, nor why this should happen.
    Basically, the first time that I imported the images, I imported them separately as groups of photos so that I could import them each into individual new projects. I noticed that the first project I created had the right information both in the metadata and in the project pane. This being the case, I decided to import everything again, only this time I imported everything at the same time into one project and called the project, "Test" (this is arbitrary and has nothing to do with the solution).
    Next I batch changed the date and time of all of the images in this "Test" project. Once that was done, I separated the images out into their own projects. This time everything showed up and was organized correctly.
    Again, I don't know why it had to be done this way, but apparently once I imported the first time, that was the only time that the metadata was accurately recorded. The subsequent imports off of the same card were not recorded properly. Again, I have no idea why, nor what to do about that, but my data is correct now and this seems to have solved the issue.
    If anyone has anything to say about the topic, please chime in.
    Thanks,
    Mac

  • Probably a stupid question about Date

    There are several ways to accomplish what you want.
    KGCW has talked about the Crop Effect.
    Depending on exactly where the object is, and whether the camera was locked down, it might be possible to duplicate your Clip, place it above your initial Clip, then offset it a bit (Motion>Position), with the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, and then apply the Garbage Matte to that offset duplicate, effectively Cropping out everything, but a small "patch" from the existing background. Note: if the edges of that Garbage Matte are too hard for you, you could create a soft-edged Track Matte, and use that to hold out the rest of the offset duplicate.
    Another method, and depending on where, and how large the offending item is, would be to go to the Fixed Effect>Motion, and use Motion>Scale to increase the size of the Clip (do not do too much Scale, or quality will suffer). You might also need to do a bit of Motion>Position, to get that red object behind the Video's Frame Size. This will effectively Crop the object.
    Good luck,

  • ICR Process 003 - question about data selection (table FBICRC003A)

    Hello, I am implementing ICR process 003. We are doing several test and we I have some questions that I hope you can help me:
    1 - If I run transaction FBICS3 - Customer/Vendor(  Select Documents) and then FBICA3 - Customer/Vendor (Document Assignment ) several times (the same selection criteria) will the same documents be selected redundantly and will be stored redundantly in table FBICRC003A? I expected that this will not happen but It seems to happen in my test environment. (?)
    2- If I need to delete the data stored in ICR '003' functionality I need to use transaction GCDE. The problem as I am using ledger '0L' for '003' process I cannot "delete data of one ledger" functionality -that allows to set selection data- and I have to "delete the data of an entire data group" that deletes all data stored in FBICRC003A & FBICRC003T tables. Should I set another ledger for '003' process in order to delete data using selection criteria? Is it recommended to not to use '0L' and create a new one?
    I have read in reference documentation that "is not necessary to set up a SL", but since all my productive companies are running in the same client that is the ICR cliente I am wondering if could be better to create and set a SL.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Ralph,
    we have created a RFC in order to get data from client B to client A (where ICR system is placed). The summary is:
    I need to import vendors/customer data from Client B that belongs to a certain company code "0001". The company is called "X" in both clients A & B although it only exists as a company code (FI) in Client B and just as a company (and trading partner) in client A.
    Client A:
    1- have set company "0001" as a "Company to be reconciled" at FBIC032:
    RFC destination = ""
    RFC destination for data selection = "ZRFC0001"
    Local company= ""
    Data Source="Documents of Current Process"
    Separate Selection Process= "X"
    Data Transfer Type="Asynchronous via Direct RFC Connection"
    Sender field for reference number = "XBLNR"
    Client B:
    1- I have created the companies (V_T880) that I will need in order to inform trading partner on vendor's master data.
    2- I have assigned company code '0001' to company "X"
    3- I have assigned trading partners created on step 1 to vendors
    4- I have post few FI documents with trading partners informed.
    Then I run FBICS3 - Customer/Vendor: Select Documents in background but the programs takes a lot of time and do not select any document.
    Do you think that I am missing something?
    Thanks very much in advance.

  • Question about Creating Forms in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I designed an invoice form to send to my clients that allows me to easily fill out form data and automatically email to my client. Everything works great, but when I send it, the form is still active and I want the fields to be closed for alteration. How can I make this happen?
    many thanks!

    What I would do is flatten the form, which converts the form fields to regular page contents so that they are no longer interactive. There are a number of ways to do this, including JavaScript, PDF Optimizer (Discard Objects > Flatten form fields), and Preflight (Flatten all form fields fixup).
    Edit: I did not see the previous responses when I posted this, due toforum wierdness, so sorry for the duplication.
