Regarding types of bridging/bridges

Hi All,
I'm reading Richard Deals book for my CCNA. While i was re-reading the bridging part. I came across the below shaded lines.
Do  we still use such types of bridges/bridging methods ? Is it useful to  dig into understand these type of bridging operations too not only for  my ccna but also for my networking knowledge?
Can someone please explain ?
Thanks in advance.

  I don't think it's very common today as IP and Ethernet have taken almost all of the market. Cisco devices support fallback bridging and IRB.
Fallback bridging:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/software/release/12.2_35_se/configuration/guide/swfallbk.pdf
This can be used to bridge between routed ports or SVIs for non routable traffic from legacy protocols.
IRB:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk815/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094663.shtml
IRB can be used to bridge on some interfaces and also route traffic for remote networks.
One application could be to bridge VLANs towards a firewall and still route traffic for other networks.

    I have CC and bridge, bridge will open but I cannot open a photo file.  I get a message: Windows cannot fint C:............... CS4 ck to see if you have spelled properly. Any Ideals?   I had CS4 but have since removed it.   

    A couple of possibilities:
    How did you remove CS4 ?  If you removed it improperly instead of Uninstalling it (say, you "deleted" it or just dragged it to the Recycling Bin), you almost certainly left stuff behind that needed uninstalling.
    What's even worse, if you removed CS4 after you installed CC you may have messed with the CC installation.
    I'm not going to attempt to tell you how to fix it, since this will probably involve uninstalling CC and after that looking for, downloading the Adobe CS_Cleaner tool and the CC_Cleaner tool, then re-installing CC, since I'm not a Windows user and don't want to mislead you.
    In any case, when Windows users chime in to assist you, they'll need all the details which you have not provided so far.

  • Downloading CS6 with obstacle of adobe bridge bridge.exe in background?

    Am trying to download CS6 having purchased it. The program says to close all applications which I have done. Yet still it says that Adobe Bridge (Bridge.exe) is running and stopping the download. How to close Adobe Bridge (Bridge.exe)??

  • Cant close Adobe Bridge (Bridge.exe)

    im trying to install a trial for adobe premiere elements and when its about to start the installing, it says to close adobe bridge (bridge.exe). it always says this when im at the end of installing something. this only happens on my windows vista. but not the rest of my computers PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Open Task Manager and click on processes tab.  Look for any instance of bridge.exe and close it.
    You probably have Bridge set up to start on login and it runs in the background.  Can change this in advanced preferences of bridge.

  • Photoshop CS4 - File Type Associations and Bridge CS4

    I have both Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop Elements 7.0 installed on my PC running Windows Vista Home Premium, I removed Photoshop CS3 after installing CS4. The issue I have is that if I look at file associations in Bridge CS4 under Preferences, none of the file types are set to Photoshop CS4, they are set to either Explorer or Photoshop Elements 7.0. The even stranger thing is also that if I try to change the associations, Photoshop CS4 is not even displayed as an option, as Photoshop Elements 7.0 always is, I have to browse in order to find it. This works, but I find it strange. Also within Windows none of the file associations are set to Photoshop CS4 after installation, I have to change them manually, again by browsing for it. I remember that in previous installs of Photoshop there was the possibility to change or use default file associtions, does CS4 have this? I guess this is not really a problem, but I find it somewhat strange that Elements 7.0 is always offered as an option but not CS4 and makes me feel it hasn't installed properly. Anyone have any ideas?

    CCleaner did the trick for me too!
    But I still suspect something about CS4 installer is not right.
    Under CS3 I used Vista "open with">"choose program">"always use" to assiciate bridge CS3 with my canon camera raw files.. At that time it did work.
    After installing CS4, I wanted to do the same with bridge CS4 but it didnt work. In the "choose program" vista menu, whatever I was doing, I couldnt select bridge CS4 it was always comming back to photoshop cs4 or bridge cs3.
    After using CCleaner, I could re-associate the way I want right away.
    So my word to photoshop's installer developper: please try to reproduce this issue, it should be easy, and make the installer avoid this.
    Thanks

  • Document type .obj causes bridge to freeze

    headline sez it all. in bridge cs4, if i navigate to a folder that contains an obj - bridge freezes. if i remove that file type from folder all is well. bridge preferences doesn't appear to have a 'file type association' with .obj. if i change the application associated with .obj(now it's photoshop cs4) to another app like modo, bridge still freezes. is there a way to add a file type to bridge? how can i get bridge to accept this file type?
    thanks in advance!

    if i change the application associated with .obj(now it's photoshop cs4) to
    another app like modo, bridge still freezes. is there a way to add a file type
    to bridge? how can i get bridge to accept this file type?
    If the file type is not in the list you can't add it your self I'm afraid. A
    quick search on Google told me that it is probably a 3D file?
    You have set it to open with PSCS4 but can you open the file in there? I
    doubt that but if so you should be able to view the same file in Bridge.
    Then there might be something wrong with that particular file. Do you have
    more files with the same file type?

  • Files with embedded profiles shown as untagged in Bridge.Bridge only right about files saved from PS

    Photoshop works perfectly when saving files as .psds etc. or PDF-Standards (PDF-X etc.), embedding the profiles correctly. However, InDesign and Illustrator do not embed any colour profiles in .pdfs, in their native formats (.indd and .ai) or any other format apart from .jpg.
    Why is Photoshop working perfectly, yet AI and INDD are not? Everything was installed at the same time, and the colour management settings are all synchronised in bridge.
    All I want to be able to do is save as one of the default PDF-X settings (via File > Save As in Illustrator), but as I said, saving as the same PDF-X standard across all 3 programs only embeds the profile if saved from Photoshop. I don’t have the slightest clue why Photshop is the only one that works.
    Although, according to this post, which seems very similar to my question, it might be Adobe Brdige CS5 that is wrong: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3565578
    Because I have files that Bridge shows as untagged, which upon opening do in fact have an embedded colour profile. Ugh, this stuff is confusing!

    Thanks so much for your help, I didn't know any of those things. Very interesting.
    In regards to Photoshop rasterizing PDFs, what exactly are the ramifications of that? A PDF-X saved from Photoshop is still fine to send to the print press, right?
    So far, all the print work I do I design in the colour space specified by my printer, then save as a PDF-X1a (which is also what they specify), by doing 'Save As' in Illlustrator. I also name the file with the colour space, and my printer has not had any problems with this.
    The reason I'm asking about colour management, is that I may start expanding into the area of designing adverts for newspapers and magazines, and this involves different colour spaces. And newspapers etc. around here won't be as fussy about colour management as my print-press, which is a very good print company. So it would be better if I knew they were getting PDFs from me with embedded colour profiles.
    I think the situation is that when I save things with embedded profiles, that it does in fact work, despite what Bridge, Illustrator and InDesign say. I have .ai files that show up in Bridge as untagged, but when opened in Illustrator, do indeed have an embedded colour profile.
    It's very confusing to know what's going on.
    A rather non-technical workaround, which alot of people seem to use, is just designing the file in the correct colour space, saving the file in that colour space, naming the file with that colour space, and then when it gets to the printer/magazine/newspaper etc. hoping that (A) there is colour profile data in the file that people can see at the destination or (B) the people at the destination know from the file name that you designed it in the correct space, and so they just Assign Profile at their end, and all is well.
    I mean, what's the alternative, I can't suddenly stop using Illustrator and InDesign, and doing ALL my work in Photoshop, just because of what Bridge says!

  • Variant to data: Need info regarding type of data

    Hello,
    What I want to do is very basic. I will acquire the image using CCD camera. The
    image is a raw data type: 2D array of type long (4 bytes per element) or integer (2 bytes per element). I can save the image even as .tiff file. Using Variant To Data, I am converting the image so that labview can handle it (I am not sure whether I really need this) before I write that data to some file and save it. I have to define data type for Variant To Data. I tried to define the data type. However, I am confused. Would anybody give me some suggestion?
    Thanks a lot,
    Dushyant

    Hrm, you'll need to be more specific about your actual question in order for us to give you a good answer, but, without more information, I'd say you should just define the type as a 2-d array of either longs or words. (i.e. get an array constant, place a numeric constant inside of it, right click the numeric constant, and select Representation->Long or Representation->Word then wire the constant to the Type input of the Variant to Data).
    If you're dealing with variants, I'd guess you are probably calling an ActiveX control or server to communicate with your camera?

    rules.
    ABAP Development under Unicode
    Prior to Unicode the length of a character was exactly one byte, allowing implicit typecasts or memory-layout oriented programming. With Unicode this situation has changed: One character is no longer one byte, so that additional specifications have to be added to define the unit of measure for implicit or explicit references to (the length of) characters.
    Character-like data in ABAP are always represented with the UTF-16 - standard (also used in Java or other development tools like Microsoft's Visual Basic); but this format is not related to the encoding of the underlying database.
    A Unicode-enabled ABAP program (UP) is a program in which all Unicode checks are effective. Such a program returns the same results in a non-Unicode system (NUS) as in a Unicode system (US). In order to perform the relevant syntax checks, you must activate the Unicode flag in the screens of the program and class attributes.
    In a US, you can only execute programs for which the Unicode flag is set. In future, the Unicode flag must be set for all SAP programs to enable them to run on a US. If the Unicode flag is set for a program, the syntax is checked and the program executed according to the rules described in this document, regardless of whether the system is a US or a NUS. From now on, the Unicode flag must be set for all new programs and classes that are created.
    If the Unicode flag is not set, a program can only be executed in an NUS. The syntactical and semantic changes described below do not apply to such programs. However, you can use all language extensions that have been introduced in the process of the conversion to Unicode.
    As a result of the modifications and restrictions associated with the Unicode flag, programs are executed in both Unicode and non-Unicode systems with the same semantics to a large degree. In rare cases, however, differences may occur. Programs that are designed to run on both systems therefore need to be tested on both platforms.
    Other Changes
    1. Bit Statements
    2. Adding Field Sequences
    3. Loops with VARY and VARYING
    4. Creating Subroutines
    5. Saving Programs
    6. Assigning Types for GET/SET PARAMETER
    7. Unreachable Statements
    8. Function Modules with Incorrect Parameter Names
    1. Bit Statements
    Previously, the system checked for the bit statements SET BIT i OF f [TO g] and GET BIT i OF f [INTO g]whether the field f is character-type; X fields, X strings, and flat structures are usually regarded as character-type. For Unicode programs this is no longer useful, because the types X and XSTRING no longer count as character-type and the bit by bit access to character-type fields or structures is no longer platform-independent. Therefore, with these operations in Unicode programs, the field f must be type X or XSTRING.
    For the bit mask operations f O x, f Z x, and f M x you could previously use all number-type and hence all character-type types for the left operand f. In Unicode programs, the f operand must now be type X or XSTRING.
    2. Adding Field Sequences
    When adding field sequences, restrictions apply to the following statements in Unicode:
    ADD n1 THEN n2 UNTIL nz [ ACCORDING TO sel ] GIVING m ...
    ADD n1 THEN n2 UNTIL nz TO m [ RANGE str ].
    1. The operands n1, n2, and nz must be type-compatible with one another.
    2. The distance between nz and n1 must be an integral multiple of the distance between n2 and n1.
    3. A syntax or runtime error occurs if the fields n1, n2, and nz are not in a structure. This structure must be recognizable statically or its valid area must be marked explicitly using the RANGE addition.
    4. At runtime, the system ensures that the RANGE area is not left.
    ADD n1 FROM i1 GIVING m [ RANGE str ].
    1. Field n1 must be within the structure. The structure must be explicitly defined using the RANGE addition if it is not recognizable statically.
    2. For this variant, the system also checks at runtime whether n1 and the addressed values are within the structure.
    3. Loops
    Loops with the VARY or VARYING addition are also problematic in Unicode, since a type-a access to memory contents cannot be ensured and memory can be overwritten inadvertently.
    DO ... VARYING f FROM f1 NEXT f2.
    For this statement, the fields f, f1, and f2 must be type-compatible with each other. To prevent memory contents being overwritten, a RANGE for valid accesses is introduced implicitly or explicitly for the following statements:
    DO ... TIMES VARYING f FROM f1 NEXT f2 [ RANGE f3 ].
    WHILE ... VARY f FROM f1 NEXT f2 [ RANGE f3 ].
    A syntax or runtime error is caused if f1 or f2 are not included in f3. If the RANGE addition is missing, it is defined implicitly from FROM f1 NEXT f2 as follows:
    1. If both f1 and f2 are statically recognizable components of the same structure, the valid RANGE area is defined from the smallest structure that comprises f1 and f2.
    2. A syntax error is triggered if it is recognizable statically that f1 and f2 are not part of the same structure.
    3. A valid area must be defined explicitly using the RANGE addition if the connection between f1 and f2 is not recognizable statically.
    If you specify a deep structure as the RANGE addition, the system checks for every loop pass that there are no field references, object references, tables, or strings in the area read.
    4. Creating Subroutines
    When automatically generating subroutines using the statement GENERATE SUBROUTINE POOL itab NAME name, the generated program inherits the content of the Unicode flag of the generating program.
    5. Saving Programs
    When automatically generating programs using the statement INSERT REPORT prog FROM itab, default values are set for the TRDIR entry as before. Amongst other things, this statement has the new addition UNICODE ENABLING uc, with which the Unicode flag of the inserted report receives the value of uc. If this addition is missing, the following applies:
    1. A Unicode program creates a Unicode program.
    2. A non-Unicode program in turn creates a non-Unicode program.
    3. A non-Unicode program becomes a Unicode program if it is overwritten by a Unicode program.
    4. A Unicode program remains a Unicode program if it is overwritten by a non-Unicode program.
    6. Assigning Types for GET/SET PARAMETER
    For the statements GET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f and GET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f, f must be character-type. You can use the EXPORT and IMPORT statements for storing non-character-type fields and structures.
    7. Unreachable Statements
    In Unicode programs, unreachable statements cause a syntax error. In non-Unicode programs, there was previously only a syntax warning.
    8. Function Modules with Incorrect Parameter Names
    In Unicode programs, calling a function module, whose parameter names are specified statically as a literal or constant, causes an exception that can be handled if an incorrect parameter name was specified. This only applies to function modules that are not called via Remote Function Call. In non-Unicode programs, an incorrect name was previously ignored.

  • Regarding Types of reports

    Hi friends
                       Help me to find the tutorial for ABAP Reports(Types and their applications)

    Hi Friend,
    Programs that can be run
    These programs can be run by a user by entering the program name or a transaction code. They are they actual application programs within the R/3 System, and are explained in more depth later on.
    Type 1
    You can start a type 1 program by entering its program name. For this reason, they are also known as executable programs. When you start a type 1 program, processors are started in the runtime environment that call a series of processing blocks (event blocks) in a predefined sequence. The sequence is oriented towards reporting tasks. This is why executable programs are also known as reports. For further information, refer to Running Programs Directly - Reports.
    A special type of type 1 program is a logical database. You can start logical databases together with reports. A logical database contains subroutines that are called by an invisible system program in a prescribed sequence for type 1 programs. The subroutines make certain reporting functions reusable. For further information, refer to Logical Databases.
    Type M
    Type M programs can only be started using a transaction code. A transaction code starts a screen, which consists of the screen itself and its flow logic. Screen flow logic can call special processing blocks (dialog modules) in the corresponding ABAP program. Since type M programs contain mostly dialog modules, they are known as module pools. For further information about running module pools, refer to Dialog-controlled Program Execution - Transactions.
    Programs that Cannot Be Run Directly
    These programs cannot be started directly by a user. Instead, they contain processing blocks or other source code that can only be used by an application program that is already running. They are described in more detail in a later section.
    Type F
    Type F programs are not executable. They serve as a container for function modules. When you call a function module from an ABAP program, the entire main program is loaded into the internal session of the current program. Since type M programs contain mainly function modules, they are known as function groups. Function modules are a type of procedure. They are described in more detail in the Procedures section.
    Type K
    Type K programs are not executable. They are container programs for global classes, and are known as class definitions. Classes belong to ABAP Objects and are described in more detail in that section.
    Type J
    Type J programs are not executable. They are container programs for global interfaces, and are known as interface definitions. Interfaces belong to ABAP Objects and are described in more detail in that section.
    Type S
    Type S programs are not executable. They are container programs for subroutines that should only be called externally. When you call a subroutine from an ABAP program, the entire main program is loaded into the internal session of the current program. Since type S programs contain mainly subroutines, they are known as subroutine pools. Subroutines are a type of procedure. They are described in more detail in the Procedures section.
    Type I
    Type I programs cannot be run directly, and contain no callable processing blocks. They are used exclusively for modularizing ABAP source code, and are included in other programs. Include programs are described in more detail in the Source Code Modules section.

  • Regarding types

    HI after upgrade iam using an include in my program
    where iam getting and syntax error stating
    In Unicode, DESCRIBE LENGTH can only be used with the IN BYTE MODE or
    IN CHARACTER MODE addition.
    FOR THE BELOW CODE IN THE INCLUDE.
    DATA:   L_LENGTH                    TYPE I.
             DESCRIBE FIELD L_MSGTX LENGTH L_LENGTH.

    4.7 and above Ver:
    describe field pdf_data length v_length in byte mode.
    Byte Mode is an addition in Unicode system (4.7).Byte mode will generally give the length in bytes
    1 Character holds one byte and an integer is of 4 bytes.
    There is anther addition also character mode which is used for flat and character types.
    4.6b Ver:
    describe field pdf_data length v_length.
    It is for non unicode system.this will not work in unicode systems.(i.e4.7).
    It will give you also lenght in bytes.
    Only difference is Unicode and Non-Unicode system..
    Hope this will resolve your query.

  • Regarding "TYPES & "CONVERSION ROUTINES"............

    Hi abapers,
    Can we have a code snippet as given below,

    WRITE : / NUMB, NUM1.
    what will be the output?. Will the value 100 be copied to the field NUM1?
    Next question is regarding "conversion routines". I read that "conversion routines" can be assigned to fields(variables) in abap?. What are "conversion routines"? What are their purpose? Also explain me the purpose of "EDIT MASK"?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Conversion Routine..
    I will just give you an example.....
    For us in user interface English language is EN... but for system it is Just 'E'...
    There conversion will happen from user to system and while retrieving from system to user..
    So there are two routines for that.
    CONVERSION_EXIT_ <conversion routine name> _OUTPUT
    CONVERSION_EXIT_ <conversion routine name> _INPUT.
    These coversion routines do the conversion job
    check this link..
