Really short and basic question
Hi there!
I am interested in starting to do some Illustrator scripts (as far as my scriping experience goes, i did 3 scripts for maya, and that's it).
WHAT i want to ask is, whether Illustrator has a window which lets you know what goes in the "backstage". Or otherwise said, tells you the code for everything you do, while you do it.
Maya has something like this, but i don't know if every program that supports scripting does have this facility..
Thanks for the help!
Illustrator won't convert your interactions (mouse/keyboard) into code. Photoshop does something like this. Just read through the scripting reference and examples.

Once I downloaded the KitKat upgrade, i was unable to read text messages or MMS messages. Battery life really short, and now I'm unable to get it to load, phone is unusable. took phone into the Version store, and they were not able to get it to work either..
I have 3 Motorola M on my account, one updated correctly, and one has not been updated to the new version. I have since taken the broken phone into the store, and they customer support people were not able to get it to load as well. Pretty much told me there is nothing they can do to make it work again, But I can buy a new phone at full price since I still have 6 months on my contract. Oh that's nice, I can see having to pay full price if the phone was broken by something I did, but not because of a software update. Its very frustrating and not right!

A short and fundamental question: Java3D in headless mode
To begin I would like to introduce myself as a complete Java3D newbie.
What I would like to accomplish is to produce an application which, in headless mode, will read in data and generate 3d images as files, without ever making any GUI components to appear on the screen.
Is this possible?
Thanks!When you say "unix doesn't have Arial" you obviously aren't using Solaris where Arial most certainly
ships and is in fact the main font used to support dialog & sanserif.
There are numerous APIs to calculate the width of a string in pixels, depending on whether
you want the integer metrics, fp metrics , logical bounds, pixel bounds (which guarantees to enclose
every pixel if you correctly specify the graphics/FRC)
Every single one of these works in headless mode.
Even the most simple-minded FontMetrics.stringWidth(String) call should be good enough
for your requirements.
The error you show looks like you have a misconfigured environment.. It can't find
the correct implementation class of GraphicsEnvironment which is nothing to do with
fonts. Moreover this DOES work for me :
import java.awt.*;
public class Arial {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Font arial = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 10);
System.out.println(arial);
% java -version
java version "1.4.2_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_01-b06, mixed mode)
% java -Djava.awt.headless=true Arial
java.awt.Font[family=Arial,name=Arial,style=plain,size=10]
QED.

Hi, all,
here's my problem: i created an interface and this related java file. Could you tell me why i can't make it work? it doesn't print the "name" in the displayer. I know it's a variable's problem, but i can't fix it.
I'll be very grateful if you will help me.
import com.apple.cocoa.foundation.*;
import com.apple.cocoa.application.*;
public class Test {
public NSTextField _insert;
public NSButton _print;
public NSTextView _displayer;
public void Test (Object sender) {
class TestClass {
String name;
TestClass testObject = new TestClass();.
if (sender == _insert) {
testObject.name = _insert.stringValue();
if (sender == _print) {
_displayer.insertText (testObject.name);
}I don't see an interface. I don't think this is enough code to tell you where you went wrong,... or if it is, then you are woefully wrong.
1) where are you setting these variables to actual objects:
public NSTextField _insert;
public NSButton _print;
public NSTextView _displayer;
2) The line:
public void Test (Object sender) {
is defining a method. In this method you are defining a class (TestClass) and creating an instance of it. The life time of this object ends when the method finishes. The sender object that you are passing in... if you haven't set the variabls above (_insert, etc), then sender will never equal one of them. And senter will also never equal both insert and print at the same time.
I think you want something like this:
public class Test {
public NSTextField _insert;
public NSButton _print;
public NSTextView _displayer;
class TestClass {
String name;
TestClass testObject;
public Test() {
testObject = new TestClass();
// I will assume you have other code that is setting _insert and
// those other variables to some actual objects...
public void doTest(Object sender) {
if (sender == _insert) {
testObject.name = _insert.stringValue();
if (sender == _print) {
_displayer.insertText (testObject.name);

MapViewer - A team of newbies and definitely basic questions...
Dear All,
We are a team of programmers who are very new to MapViewer. We are an experienced team of GIS programmers, however, we find difficulty in applying known functions to MapViewer. It's a great application, but a lot of unknowns.
We have very basic questions, as well as advanced ones. I would like to summarize them as follows:
1. How can I let the map to be zoomed into a specific feature?
2. How can I execute a query to find a specific feature?
3. How can I execute network analysis query to find the shortest path or paths between two or more nodes?
4. How can I find out the nearest node to the location when user clicks on an arbitrary location on the map?
5. How can I execute generic queries, without (this is important) need to send/receive XML queries?
6. The bottomline is: we just want to use ready made functions to make it as easy as possible.
Anyhelp is greatly appreciated. We are stuck with the basics of MapViewer (Oracle Maps).
Please help us find the light :)
Best regards.
Desperate MapViewer Team!Here are some quick answers, hopefully they are not too late.
1. You will construct a theme (mostly a dynamic one) that contains the specific feature, then call the theme's setBoundingTheme(true). Typically what we see people do is: a) create a dynamic theme with a query that selects a set of features; b) create a FOI layer based on the theme (MVThemeBasedFOI); c) call the setBoundingTheme(true) on the FOI layer. The end result, is that MapViewer will process your query and return the FOI data to the Oracle Maps JavaScript client, which will zoom the map to include the set of features in the FOI layer. Check out Oracle Maps tutorial #35 for an example.
2. This is partly answered above. Basically you will construct a theme with a dynamic query string. You may want to check out tutorial #37 which finds out and displays the buffers around a set of points; the buffers are constructed via a SQL query at run time.
3. This is not really a MapViewer question; rather, you may need to consult the Oracle Spatial routing engine XML API; the gist is you send the XML route request to the routing server, which returns a set of coordinates for your directions, which you can construct (MapViewer) FOI objects out of and display them on the map.
4. I'm not sure our routing engine or network data model API has such a function ready for use; what you can do is if you can formulate the SQL query string (with the current location represented as a binding variable), then you can create a theme out of this query condition, and simply supply the location at run time to get the set of nodes.
5. Can you please elaborate on what do you mean by generic queries? A simple usage scenario will help.
6. We understand; there are quite a lot of things that can be made easier out of the box and we are working towards that. in the mean time, just ask questions if you have them; and always check out the Oracle maps tutorials first (actually reading the MapViewer primer article should be the absolute first step :) ).
thanks

Hi all,
I got one basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005. I wanted to know How this package works in production where there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed. To check that there is excel driver installed
or not, I followed steps: Start-->Administrative Tools--> Data Sources(ODBC)-->Drivers and I found only 2 drivers one is SQL Server and another one is SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
Windows edition is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Service Pack-1 and System type is 64-bit Operating System.
We are running this package from SQL Server Agent and using 32-bit (\\Machine_Name\d$\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe /FILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\ Folder_Name\EtL.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\Folder_Name\Config.dtsConfig"
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E) to run this package. I opened the package and tried to find out what connection we have used and found that we have used "Excel Connection Manager" and ConnectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=F:\Fares.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; and source is ‘Excel Source’
I discussed with my DBA and He said that SSIS is having inbuilt Excel driver but I am not convinced.
Could anyone please clear my confusion/doubt?
I have gone through various links but my doubt is still not clear.

How Can I Get a List of the ODBC Drivers that are Installed on a Computer?
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/07/07/how-can-i-get-a-list-of-the-odbc-drivers-that-are-installed-on-a-computer.aspx
Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please VoteHi S Kumar Dubey,
In SSIS, the Excel Source and Excel Destination natively use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider which is installed by SQL Server. The Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider deals with .xls files created by Excel 97-2003. To deal with .xlsx files created by
Excel 2007, we need the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider. SQL Server doesn’t install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider, to get it we can install the
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable or Microsoft Office suit.
The drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator are ODBC drivers not OLEDB drivers, therefore, the Excel Source/Destination in SSIS won’t use the ODBC driver for Excel listed in it by default. On a 64-bit Windows platform, there are two versions
of ODBC Data Source Administrator. The 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, while the 32-bit one is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. The original 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC drivers are installed by the Windows operating system.
By default, there are multiple 32-bit ODBC drivers and fewer 64-bit ODBC drivers installed on a 64-bit platform. To get more ODBC drivers, we can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
Besides, please note that 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components only install 32-bit ODBC and OLEDB drivers because it only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable has both 32- bit version and 64-bit
version.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Basic questions about Bigdata, NOSQL and Hadoop
Hi,
I've basic questions related to Bigdata. (I've googled it but still wants to confirm with experts)
Please correct me if I am wrong on below.
1) As far as I know big data is collection of unstructured data. Even we can store relational data as well.
2) NOSQL is an Oracle product to handle bigdata (un structured data and relational data as well)
3) Hadoop is the only one frame work which is avilable in market to manage the bigdata.
What are the other database systems we have in the market to manage the bigdata.
Cheers,
SuriHi Suri,
1) "Big Data" does not have a crystal clear, black and white definition.
It is generally characterized as being the processing and management of an amount and type of data that makes a specific workload on that data slow and/or expensive.
Most commonly, Big Data involves processing and management of unstructured data of large volume and the typical technology used to store/process it is Hadoop, However, on occasion a NoSQL database will also deal with unstructured data.
Big Data is also seen often in the form of simple, semi-structured data of both large volume and/or large velocity and the typical technology used to store/process it is a NoSQL database. However, on occasion Hadoop will also deal with semi-structured data of large volume.
In some cases, Big Data is seen in the form of highly connected data that will be manipulated by advanced algorithms that will need to touch a lot of the data and the typical technology used to store/process it is a Graph type of NoSQL database.
2) NoSQL is a category of database technologies most often dealing with the issues as outlined in bullet 2 above. The Oracle NoSQL Database is oracle's product in the NoSQL category of database technologies. It does NOT store relational data. When using NoSQL relations between the data must be managed within the application code.
3) Hadoop and NoSQL booth manage Big Data, but different aspects as discussed in (1) above. Hadoop is a batch based, slow processing data technology, but the "slow" is relative because it can process very large amounts of data, so minutes is commonly seen as fast. NoSQL is a near real-time data processing technology and typically deals with Big Data where access times are in the single digit millisecond range.
Hope this helps,

Transporter - Basic installation and connection questions
We have never used or installed the Transporter before. We are currently using Tidal 5.3x and are upgrading a sandbox environment to 6.2. I have looked at all the transporter documentation I can find and am still missing some very basic questions - plus I cannot get the "help" option in transporter to work.
WHERE do you install the Transporter and why? CM Server? Master Server? Desktop? If it is on a server, then does the user that runs it need to remote the server in order to user transporter?
I have attempted to install on each of the above, but cannot establish a connection. When I click "test" I get error "Failed to Connect [Login failure with responseCode [404]]What should I be entering in each of the following Connections fields? My comments indicate what I have assumed/attempted to enter and received the error above.
Connection name - just a given name to a connection? aka TESSandboxMaster
Server Name - what server? master? Is there a specific format this needs to be in?
DSP/Plug in name - I found a dsp file on my CM Server named TES-6.0.dsp - should I put TES-6.0 here?
User - network user that is a Super user in Tidal? aka networkname\superuser?
pwd - windows pwd for that user?
Thank you for any help you can provide.Hi Patricia,
1. The Transporter is installed on the Client Manager - the CM is essentially a web server to handle client requests, perform sacmd commands, and utility for transporting jobs from one environment to another. A Tidal user would have to be granted rights to Move Jobs to Production, and I believe Tidal user has to be able to sign on to the CM as well.
2. I've reviewed an older copy of the transporter user guide 6.1 provides instructions on how to complete those fields:
To create a connection: (on page 32)
In the Connection Name field, enter the name for the connection file.
In the Server Name field, enter the name of the Client Manager machine.
In the DSP/Plugin Name field, enter the master instance name.
The master instance name is the TES DSP or Plugin name. This is displayed from the Web UI in the Master Status pane.
In the Server Port field, enter the listening Web Service port used by the Tidal Web Client. The default is 8080 for non-secured connections and 8443 for secured connections.
In the User and Password fields, enter a valid Enterprise Scheduler user name and password.
Select the Secure HTTP option if you want to connect securely through the HTTPS protocol.
This option is enabled only if Transporter has been configured for secure
connections. Figure 8 is an example of Transporter not configured for secure
connections.

Possibly a very basic question but I am going nowhere without a solution. I have set up a spreadsheet in Numbers but it won't give me sums for chosen columns. I have viewed the run through videos and used the formula but nothing happens apart from giving a figure of zero or a red arrow. The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total as I understand from the video that you can drag whatever total is here onto the relevent position on your spreadsheet. I have Numbers 09 version 2.3 (554). Can anyone advise. Thanks.
Hi Sohojools,
To sum a column, use a formula such as this one in Cell A6
Type this in a cell below your data:
=SUM(A2:A4) or whatever range of cells you want to sum. The easy way is to type:
=SUM(
and then drag or shift-click to select the range of cells. Close the formula with a final bracket ")".
The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total
To see the sum (and other simple statistics) in the bottom left, select a range of cells. That tells Numbers which cells you are refering to.
The videos are good, but the Numbers'09 User guide, and the Formulas and Functions User Guide are better. Download them from the Help Menu in Numbers.

Where clause with a combination of And and Or statements - Basic question
Hi,
I have a where clause with a combination of And and Or statements... May I know which one would run first
Here is the sample
WHERE SITE_NAME = 'Q' AND ET_NAME IN ('12', '15') AND TEST_DATE > DATE OR SITE_NAME = 'E' AND ET_NAME IN ('19', '20')
can you please explain how this combination works
Thanks in advanceHi,
This reminds me of a great story. It's so good, it probably didn't really happen, but it's so good, I'm going to repeat it anyway.
IBM once had an "executive apptitude test" that they would give to job applicants. There were some questions you might call general knowlege or trivia questions, and each question had a weight (for example, answering an unimportant queestion might score one point, an important question might be 5 points.) One of the questions was "What is the standard width of a mobile home?", and the weight of the question was -20: answering the question correctly did serious harm to your score. The reasoning was that the more you knew about mobile homes, the less likely you were to be their kind of executive.
Now, as to your question, the correct answer is: I don't know. I don't want to know. Mixing ANDs and ORs without grouping them in parentheses is a really bad idea. Even if you get it right, it's going to confuse the next person who has to look at that code. Use parentheses to make sure the code is doing what you want it to do.
If you really want to find out, it's documented in the SQL language manual. Look up "Operators, prcedence"
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/operators001.htm#sthref815
You can easily do an experiment, using scott.emp, or even dual, where
WHERE (x AND y)
OR zproduces different results from
WHERE x
AND (y OR z) -
Basic questions about connection sharing and radio mode
I just got TC and have a couple of basic questions.
At home I have a D-Link ADSL modem/router (no wifi) plugged into the wall, and would like TC to provide wifi. I've connected the WAN port to some LAN port of the router and everything works fine. The intented usage of the setup is wifi-only. Would you recommend TC to do DHCP/NAT? Or is Bridge mode better? In the latter case I don't fully understand who's routing the wifi network (though it actually works).
Second question is about radio mode. My wife has an iBook G4 that is not capable of talking 801.11n, so I selected the n mode compatible with b/g. In that mode my black MacBook will still be able to talk 801.11n with TC? The iBook has very low usage, it is fine that computer uses 801.11g for TC, but I'd like the MacBook to go full-speed. (If that's not possible I'd ponder purchasing an 801.11n adaptor of some sort for the iBook.)Would you recommend TC to do DHCP/NAT? Or is Bridge mode better?
It doesn't matter.
In the latter case I don't fully understand who's routing the wifi network (though it actually works).
The D-Link modem/router.
In that mode my black MacBook will still be able to talk 801.11n with TC?
Yes. It will only suffer lower bandwidth if the iBook G4 is actively connected. -
Basic question inbound / outbound and source service (ASA 5505)
Hi there,
I'm new to the ASA 5505 appliance and have a few very basic questions. Hope I get some responses and not flamed for being a total newbie. :-)
Inbound versus outbound: I'm having a difficulty understanding the inbound versus outbound terminology. Can somebody please clarify? For example, if I want to block all http traffic from hosts on the inside to the internet but allow all https connections, intuitively I'd configure a rule to block outbound (= outgoing) traffic for the http protocol for the inside network. However, it seems as if I have to add this rule for inbound connections. Why is a connection from a host on the inside to a web server on the internet considered an inbound connection on the inside interface?
When I add a rule, I've got a "service" field and a "Source Service" field in the "More Options" section. What's the difference? Do I have to set both to the same value?
Your help is greatly appreciated.Hi Ralf,
Yes, if you put a deny http, it would drop all packets for destination as http port, but be mindful that when you apply an access-list on your inside interface, it automatically activates the deny ip any any right at the bottom, you would be able to see that in the ASDM. So for the users that need be allowed access to the http, needs to be explicitly allowed http access, so your correct configuration would be:
access-list inside_access_in deny tcp host 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 any eq http
access-list inside_access_in permit tcp any any
access-group inside_access_in interface inside
This would block 192.168.1.1 to go to internet, but allow all others.
Second question, i haven't chceked the ASDM, but just remember out of memory, that this service option should be the protocol, whether ip,tcp,udp,esp or gre etc.
Moreover always try to block connections as closed to the source as possible, this would mean, if you want to filter traffic going from inside to outside, that should be done on the inside interface not outside.
Thanks,

Basic Question on Copy and Delta link which one to use when?
Hi
Its basic question
My understanding about copy and Delta link is
Copy doesnot ahve direct relationship with source object (but it acts as a sibling) any changes done to spurce object does not affect target object.
Where as Delta link will have a parent child relation ship between source object bacially its a copy of source and inherits id properties. in case if i change source object does this affect target object, we can delete, add content to delta link target object.
let's say if i want to use standard quickpoll iView do i need to use copy or delta link similarly for other iviews, worksets, roles which one will be better.
Regards,
MuraliMurali,
Yes, your understanding is right.
Case 1 : Copy
A- Object
B- Copy of A
Both of them are independent.Any changes in A are not dependent on B and vice versa.
Case 2 : Delta Link
A - Object
B - Copy of A (via Delta link)
Any changes to A are reflected in B, as A is a parent and B a child.
But B would be an independent entity.Any changes to B would not effect A.
When you use either of them, depends on your need. When you are working with standard iviews or roles or workset, you can do a copy of the original, because in most cases we would not make changes to the standard roles or worksets or iviews. There by eliminating the process of making a delta copy.
But, if you are dealing with the roles that you have created and want to make a copy of it, you can use a delta link, because, even if you want to add more iviews and worksets to that role, they would get reflected when you make a delta copy.
Hope that helps.
