Rule fragments

How does rule fragments works? How it would behave when I write rule fragments having both positive and negative conclusions?
the person does not have some action if
the person's status one is not active or
the person's status two is not active or
the person's status three is active
the person has some action if
the person's status four is active or
the person's status five is active
This question was previously answered but now I dont find that reply here. Was it deleted?

Rule fragments using conditions from modules lead to system exception

I try to buid a project that uses a module with some rules that deduct a boolean value based on a name input (string). These name strings are inside an entity (one to many contained relationship from global), so the boolean is deducted per instance. That entity has a one to one relationship with another entity.
The property model is as follows. (All entitys, relationships and attributes are exported):
global - one.to.many entity1 - one.to.one - entitiy2
The modulair structure is as follows: module1 that contains a common property structure, is used by module2 with a set of business rules on instances of entity 1, which is used bij the main rulebase.
I use rule fragments on instances of entity2, that uses a a boolean statement in entity 1
i.e.:
(in module2)
the name of entity1 is foobar if
entity1 = "foobar"
(in the main rulebase)
[rule fragment]
entity2 is relevant if
the name of entity1 is foobar
[rule fragment:1]
entity2 is not relevant
If I build the project, I get a system exception. System.Exception Unknown relationship. It then shows the reverse text of the relationship text from entity1 to entity2. Then the stack trace continues, it begins with Oracle.Modeling.Compiler.Plugin.XMLTranslate.X3ToXML.ResolveDataModelReferences(ISourceDocument doc,XmlElement el, String context)
Is this a bug? The exception seems to point in that direction. In the userguide is explained that 'you cannot have rule fragments that cross over module boundaries ' but my fragments are in the main rulebase only.
Philip.

I am trying to get a small rulebase with modules in English running that behaves the same. So far, I have not been able to reproduce the problem with this rulebase.
EDIT: Can now reproduce this in a set of three OPA knowledge bases in English, two modules and one main kb. I guess the forum does not let you upload files?

Rule fragments in shortcut rules

I had a shortcut rule table that wasn't working, something along the lines of:
Shortcut rule*
the outcome of the transaction
"Outcome A" - AttributeX = 5
"Outcome B" - AttributeX = 6
"Outcome C" - AttributeY is true
"Outcome D" - AttributeZ is true
I thought the reason it may not be working was because I had conditions on multiple attributes within a single table. Thinking that rule fragments may be the answer, I split the rule into 3 fragments (each a shortcut rule, but still tables as I don't seem to be able to set the value of a text attribute any other way).
rule_property[fragment:1]
Shortcut rule*
the outcome of the transaction
"Outcome A" - AttributeX = 5
"Outcome B" - AttributeX = 6
rule_property[fragment:2]
Shortcut rule*
the outcome of the transaction
"Outcome C" - AttributeY is true
rule_property[fragment:3]
Shortcut rule*
the outcome of the transaction
"Outcome D" - AttributeZ is true
However, regardless of the values of attribues X, Y and Z, the rule always seems to set the value to Outcome A, any ideas? Is it permitted to use rule fragments in shortcut rules?

Going back to what I assume the original Word table looked like...
| the outcome of the transaction          |
| "Outcome A" | Attribute X = 5               |
| "Outcome B" | Attribute X = 6               |
| "Outcome C" | Attribute Y is true          |
| "Outcome D" | Attribute Z is true          |
| uncertain   | else                    |
-------------------------------------------------... you commented that "regardless of the values of attribues X, Y and Z, the rule always seems to set the value to Outcome A". I just tried the same rule table and it behaved exactly as I expected, so I think it's worth explaining how Word rule tables work.
Word rule tables start from the top of the table and work down until finding a table row for which the conditions are satisfied. If X = 5, then the first conditional row is satisfied and the conclusion is set to A. It doesn't matter what the values of Y and Z are, they will not impact the conclusion once X is set to 5.
If X is unknown, and Y=true, then the conclusion will be unknown. This is because it's not even going to get to the third conditional row until all conditional rows above have been disproven. Whereas if X=7 and Y=true, then the conclusion will be set to C, since the first and second conditional rows have been disproven, i.e. proven not to be 5 or 6. Make sense? :)
So when you were seeing the conclusion being set to A, regardless of the value of Y and Z, it must have been because X was set to 5 or 6. If there's a logic order to how you'd progress through the options, then just use that order in the rows of your rule table. Presumably you need to think thorough this logic anyway since you need to think about what's meant to happen if X=5 and Y=true? Should the conclusion be set to A or C? If it's the case that when Y=true, it trumps everything and the conclusion should be C, then just make that the first conditional line of your rule table.

Issue with negative conclusion attribute

Hi,
i written below rules:
rule_property[fragment:3]
The scheme does not have an x action if
           The scheme's current status is not active
rule_property[fragment:4]
The scheme has an x action if
          The scheme's supports an x action
Now from the debug I can see below values for the base attributes:
The scheme's current status is active
The scheme does not support an x action
The value of the conclusion is "the scheme does not have an x action"
I expect the value of the conclusion to "the scheme has an x action" as the attribute- "the scheme's current status is active" is true.
Can someone make me understand why it concludes so?
Thanks,

I tested this an it definitely looks like a bug. As you suspected it looks like it has something to do with proving the negative of a statement in one fragment and the positive of a statement in another fragment.
I will log this as a bug so we can look at fixing it for a future release
Luckily, there's a simple work around. The best work around for this is to use a rule table. In general, I would always prefer a rule table over rule fragments for the following reasons:
you automatically get a clear order of evaluation (top to bottom)
all the rules are in one place.
The default if no conditions hold is clear in the otherwise row.
| The scheme has an x action if
| false     | The scheme's current status is not active
| true      | The scheme's supports an x action
| uncertain | otherwise
Hope this helps
Cheers

"How do I defrag my mac?" "You don't need to, it does it itself" Fragmented Free Space: 99%. READ THIS NOW

Just a heads up for my fellow Mac users.
"How do I defrag my mac?"
"You don't need to, ever. It does it automatically."
"But it's running really slowly..."
"Repair permissions or something. Defragging is not necessary on a mac."
Techtool pro is now defragmenting my mac. Looks like the job's going to take about 4 hours. I thought I'd give everyone the truth about this while waiting (on a different computer obviously)
The truth is, Apple's defragmenting system ***** BALLS. It has two massive, massive flaws which I feel people urgently need to be made aware of.
#1: It only defragments files up to 20mb. If you're a movie producer, a songwriter, a photographer, or anything which involves working with many massive files, the built in defragmenting program WILL NOT HELP YOU IN THE SLIGHTEST.
#2: It only defragments FILES. Free space is ignored, which eventually causes absolutely hrrendous problems.
Let me give you an analogy here. Imagine your mac's hard drive is a bookcase with lots of books on it.
File fragmentation is when it can't find a gap in the bookcase big enough for the entire book, so it breaks the book into pieces and srotes them in different gaps.
Space fragmentation is when there are gaps all over the bookcase, instead of all the books being pushed to one side so there's a long gap elsewhere.
Apple's built in defragmenting program will only fix the first problem - and even then, it will ignore any book bigger than 20 pages long, if you have bigger books which are broken up, you're screwed.
Why is space fragmentation a problem? It's a problem because it directly LEADS TO file fragmentation. If there is a large block of free space all in one part of the disk, then an entire file can be written to it. However, if there is no single free block big enough for the file, it HAS NO CHOICE but to fragment it.
So basically you might have 5 GB free and want to save a 2GB imovie project. That's cool. But what you may not realize is, the biggest single area of free space is only say 600MB. Others are around 300 and 400. Therefore the file MUST be fragmented into all these different areas, which wouldn't be necessary if all the free space was in one area of the disk.
But apple's built in tools don't do anything about this, at least not in Tiger. PErhaps this has been fixed in later installations but I'm almost certain the same issues exist in leopard.
Your only option is to buy a defragmenting program. I know this ***** but believe me, this IS something you NEED to do if your activity on your laptop involves disk space - intensive projects. I'm using TechTool Pro which has been recommended to me as hands down the best. It has a number of other functions as well, right now I'm only using the defragmenting tools but it has others for repairing damages disk sectors and other mantainence tools. There are other programs such as iDefrag out there as well.
Why am I telling you this? I'm telling you because I experienced mind numbing frustration trying to get answers from the Apple community. Google it or ask the question yourself and you will most likely be whacked in the face with the intro to my post here - "You don't need to, it's not necessary, macs do it themselves, blah blah blah"
Even worse, Apple's own webpage on the subject is nothing short of a disaster. It basically says "You PROBABLY don't need to defragment, unless you work with large files." That's it. You'd expect it to have an extra section saying "If you DO happen to work with large files, here's what you do" but no such section exists. It basically says "You don't need to defrag most of the time, and on the rare occasions when you do, well, too bad, you're screwed."
I urge everyone to heed this or they will be tearing their hair out at how slow their mac has become and the fact that no one will offer any meaningful advice other than the standard, generic, "Repair permissions" - the Mac equivelant of "have you tried turning it off and on again".
My disk is at 99% fragmented free space. NINTEY NINE PERCENT. In other words, although I have 25GB of free space, there was not a single contiguous block on the entire machine. I had almost 5,000 fragmented files as well, mostly imovies. Defragmenting got this down to about 300.
The defrag job is taking more than 4 hours and will probably go on to take a lot longer than that. This machine has been slowly grinding to a halt over the last 3 years and now I know why.
Please don't listen to anyone. Get yourself a defragmenting folder, and email Apple to tell them it's just not good enough to give their customers half assed answers and inadequate basic maintainence tools. Mac OS X must literally be the only operating system out there where something as basic as defragmenting is not only almost impossible to get answers on, but actually costs money to fix once you DO get answers.
As customers, we should not accept this any longer. I intend to spread the above message far and wide.
I LOVE Apple. I've always been "a mac" and I always will be. This in no way a mac bashing post or a windows endorsing one. I wouldn't switch back to windows if you gave me a million euro.
But sometimes even the best developers can royally f*ck up. This is one of them.
There is no readon people should be forced to put up with this crap. Absolutely no reason at all. I've had 3 months of crappy performance with no official explanation whatsoever.
Apple if you're reading this: I love your products. I'm a loyal customer. People are more forgiving than you think, speak up, admit you dropped the ball, and DO something about it in your next updates to Lion and whichever versions of Leopard you are still actively maintaining.
There's no shame in admitting when you're wrong. The shame is in hiding behind false promises and walls of silence.
--Loyal customer, but feeling rather betrayed by all this.

The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

Newly Occuring CSS SSL Issue in Chrome, FF10, IE9 with L5 rules; 3 second delay, loss of L5 stickyness

We recently started suffering an issue with our CSS11501S-K9 units not performing URL stickiness on our SSL wrapped L5 rules. I've spent dozens of manhours working on the problem, and have quite a bit of information to report, including a solution. There is a high probability that anybody who uses SSL to an L5 rule on a CSS unit will become affected by this problem over the next few weeks/months as users update their browsers with new SSL patches.
We hadn't made any changes to our config in months, and eliminated hardware problems by testing a second unit.
Here are the exact symptoms we saw:
Browsers affected: Firefox 10, Chrome, IE9, others (and some earlier versions of IE depending on patch levels)
Browsers not affected: FireFox 3.5, w3m 0.5.2, curl7.19.7
Impact 1: For SSL Rules backed by L5 rules, the initial response to the first request would be 3 seconds. Further requests on the same TCP connection would not be delayed
Impact 2: L5 rules being accessed via SSL would nolonger perform any URL based stickiness. Accessing the same rule skipping SSL, would work fine
I focused on the 3 second delay, since that was a new issue and was easier to debug than monitoring multiple servers to see if stickiness was broken. This is what I found when a client tries to connect to an SSL rule that ultimately is routed to a L5 HTTP rule:
1. Client/CSS perform initial TLS handshake, crypto cyphers determined (nearly instantly)
2. Client sends HTTP 1.1 request for resource (nearly instantly)
3. 3 seconds of no traffic in our out of the CSS related to this request
4. CSS opens an HTTP connection to backend webserver, backend webserver responds (nearly instantly)
5. The CSS seems to route to the backend server using the balance method (round-robin) instead of the advanced-balance method (url)
6. Response is sent to the client with the resource (nearly instantly)
7. Future requests sent from the browser on the same TCP connection have no delay, but the advanced-balance continues to be ignored
The 3 seconds is quite an exact figure (within a few milliseconds) and appears to be entirely happening inside of the CSS unit itself, since it does not connect to the backend server until after the 3 seconds elapse. 3 seconds smelled like some sort of internal timeout set in the CSS unit after it gives up waiting for something.
Looking at the packets from affected browsers I discovered that the GET /foobar HTTP/1.1 request was being broken into two separate TLSv1 application messages, the first was 24 bytes and the second was 400 bytes. Decrypting these messages I found the first message was a
G
and the second message was:
ET /foobar HTTP/1.1
This essentially splits the initial request the client is sending into two pieces. This confuses wireshark so much, it doesn't decode this as a HTTP request, and just decodes it as "continuation or non-HTTP traffic".
On the working browsers I saw only one TLSv1 application message, decrypting it I saw:
GET /foobar HTTP/1.1
(obviously I'm simplifying the contents of the request, there were lots of headers and stuff)
I am aware that the CSS can't handle L5 rules appropriately if they get fragmented, so I suspected this was the problem. I pulled a packet trace from a few years ago, and at that time confirmed we never saw a double TLSv1 application messages before.
A number of openssl vulnerabilities were recently fixed: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1357-1
and browsers may have been recently updated to fix some of these issues, changing the way they encode their traffic.
Solution:
Our ssl config looked something like this:
ssl-proxy-list SSL_ACCEL
ssl-server 10 vip address XX.XX.XX.XX
ssl-server 10 rsakey XXXX
ssl-server 10 cipher rsa-with-3des-ede-cbc-sha XX.XX.XX.XX 80
ssl-server 10 cipher rsa-with-rc4-128-sha XX.XX.XX.XX 80
ssl-server 10 cipher rsa-with-rc4-128-md5 XX.XX.XX.XX 80
ssl-server 10 unclean-shutdown
ssl-server 10 rsacert XXXXXX
Removing:
ssl-server 10 cipher rsa-with-3des-ede-cbc-sha XX.XX.XX.XX 80
Solves the problem. After that's removed, the browsers will nolonger fragment the first character of their request into a separate TLSv1 message. The 3 second delay goes away, and L5 stickiness is fixed. The "CBC" in the cyper refers to Cypher-Block-Chaining (a great article here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cipher-block_chaining), and breaking the payload into multiple packages may have been an attempt to initialize the IV for encryption -- although I'm really just guessing, I stopped researching once I verified this solution was acceptable.
This issue became serious enough for us to notice first on Monday Feb 13th 2012. We believe a number of our large customers distributed workstation updates over the weekend. The customers affected were using IE7, although my personal IE7 test workstation did not appear to be affected. It's quite possible our customers were going through an SSL proxy. I suspect as more people upgrade their browsers, this will become a more serious issue for CSS users, and I hope this saves somebody a huge headache and problems with their production environment.
-Joe

Hi Joe,
That's a very good analysis you did.
As you already suspected, the issue comes from the TLS record fragmentation feature that was introduced in the latest browser versions to overcome a SSL vulnerability (http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/864643). Unfortunately, similar issues are happening with multiple products.
For CSS, the bug tracking this issue is CSCtx68270. The development team is actively working on a fix for it, which should be available (in an interim software release, so to get it you wil have to go through TAC) in the next couple of weeks
In the meantime, as workaround, you can configure the CSS to use only RC4 cyphers (which is what you were suggesting also). These are not affected by the vulnerability, so, browsers don't apply the record fragmentation when they are in use. This workaround has been tested by several customers already, and the results seem to be very positive.

Need to change the targeting group of a Rule or monitor after a alert is created.

Hi All,
I have created many alerts and they are working fine. Currently due to business requirement we have installed Windows server 2012 operating systems in our production environment. But we have targeted the
"Windows server 2008 r2 full operation system" group as per the below screen shot. As we now have to import the management pack for Windows server 2012 as well.
What we have planned is to change the targeting group from "Windows server 2008 r2 full operation system"
to "Windows server operating system group" so the alert / monitor or rule will target all windows server which has been discovered in SCOM rather that only the servers running Windows server 2008 r2.
I was also not able to set overrides for this as that server was not coming under Windows server 2008 r2 full operation system as it was a Windows server 2012 agent.
I can also go ahead and create new alerts but i have created custom of 1000 alerts and i cannot go ahead and re create them.
Is there any way to change them. If yes Can i do a bulk change via powershell ?
Below is the screenshot of what i really want. Can any on e please help.

You can't really change the target class of a monitor in a sealed vendor pack. If this is your own custom pack, then you can change the target class no problem, but this would need to be done on the unsealed XML (using VSAE or some other authoring tool).
Then you can seal the pack and re-import (should be upgrade compatible, since you are just changing the target).
I'm not familiar with this particular monitor in your screenshot, but it looks like this should probably target Exchange? If this is the case, then I would recommend targeting the closest typed class that the monitor should run against. In this case, some
type of Exchange class that is already in the Exchange management pack.
Otherwise, you can also create your own custom class for targeting, which I describe in detail on my blog.
Here are all my sample VSAE fragments.
Here is an example of
using the Application Component base for your new class.
Here is an example of
using Local Application base for your new class.

Css style class can't be used in Page Fragment?

I need to use css to modify pages. When I open a page fragment and want to apply a css rule to a button, i can't find any styleClass available in popup window: Properties->Appreaance->styleClass.
Does anyone have any idea?

Hi,
You are correct - there is a current limitation that we are working to fix. For now, you can manually add style parameters to the <div in the .jsp. I have also seen div id rule classes in the stylesheet e.g. div#content and then manually applied the div id="content" in the .jsp before the directive include.

Indesign export of PDFs - images in pdf fragmented, missing metadata

Can anyone help with this one?
We use InDesign CS3 to create PDF 1.6's, directly from InDesign export. The metadata contained in the images on the layout normally are visible in the PDF when you control click and select "show metadata" on the image with Acrobat's touch up object tools. Ocassionally, there is an unknown problem in the process where a given image will "fragment" -- when you click on it in the PDF, a frame surrounds only part of the image, and there's no "show metadata" choice to select. This is kiling us because we doconstruct those PDFs and put them into our long term archive, and the metadata is missing there!
Anyone know of any reason InDesign export would give such results?
Any help would be appreicated!
Thanks.

Thanks Bob,
We're just reviewing detailed data now, so it's unclear whether we have any cases where it's a placed PDF (most are tiffs, psds, etc). Good point - if the pdf within is a 1.3 that would be a problem. . .same too with a placed ID file, though I know for sure we're not doing that. I'll post what we find.
We are ok with regard to version patches. But, Bob, do you by chance know of any specific bugfixes (i haven't read the release notes) that address this? that would help to know too, so as to rule out some times in the past before the patch was applied where the problem occured.
Meanwhile David W. Goodrich's reminder of adobe technote 332920 if i read it right, suggests non raster images would fail to pass metadta, at least in CS2, i wonder if that applies to cs3 too. . .

Hi, we have the same error (region definition error, rules in planning not running for approx. 15 min) - then suddenly working again.
This is a desaster, as planning users save not-calculated data and cause inconsistency in the system.
had this in planning 4 installation up to Aug.08 and then in system 9 (with planning patch 5) - rel. 9.3.1.1.5 using IBM Websphere -
all quick solution from hyperion did not really help: increase number of ports, java cache, change netrelay, netretryconect etc. in essbase.cfg and
Olap.server.net retry +Olap.server.net connect delay in essbase.properties files
Review business rules and users for errors, hardware, caches, fragmentation, potential system overload, search for corrupted database, invalid formulas in outline ...
it came out, that it was just 1 business rule causing this trouble: our only rule, where you enter in a user prompt a numeric value -problem is quotation marks.
we installed the cumulative Service Fix 11 for this (and other reasons) last week (takes approx. 4 hours to install with all the manual steps - just came out in May - Rel. 9.3.1.1.11)
as the error happened only from time to time in the peak of our planning session, we will monitor next months but are very optimistic to have things fixed (solution obviously in fix 9 already)
this link may help as well:

I suggest to install Service Fix 11 - if you read the manual, you probably find more fixed errors in there. (Patch is for Planning and BR Rules/AAS EAS)

Form included in JSF Fragments doesn't work

Hi there i have a simple form placed in JSF page fragment, the fragment is included in several pages. It renders , but the button action doesn't do what it is supposed to do.

How to include a URL in an XML fragment

Hello , my general question is how can I include a URL as a literal in an XML fragment , I tried this(please look at the bold part) but it would'nt work , I am getting a compile error because supposedly "<" is a special character in XML so how do I escape it or indeed how do I represent my URL? Your help is highly appreciated
<EndpointReference xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/addressing [b]<https://webmail.bearingpoint.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/addressing> ">
<Address>https://secure-ausomxbxa.crmondemand.com/Services/Integration;j <https://webmail.bearingpoint.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=https://secure-ausomxbxa.crmondemand.com/Services/Integration;j> sessionid=</Address>
<ServiceName xmlns:ns1="urn:crmondemand/ws/opportunity/10/2004">ns1:Opportunity</ServiceName>
</EndpointReference>

I don't know why you would want to surround your URL with < and > characters.
But the XML rule for escaping those characters in text nodes and attributes is that you escape < as < and > as >. The fact that URLs are involved in your case doesn't make any difference to that rule.
And normally if you're using XML software (e.g. Transformer, or Xerces's serializer) to write the document, it will take care of that detail for you. On the other hand if you're using ordinary java.io classes to write the document, you have to apply that rule yourself.

Unofficial Forum Rules and Guidelines

I realize there is an official Community Guidelines thread, but I feel it should cover more topics than it does. So here is my attempt to have a thread I can point new users to, if they are unsure how forum etiquette works.
Before Posting a Question
Many posts have been made on the forums over the years and many topics have been covered. You are likely not the first person to attempt something, or having difficulty. Search the forums first for the question you would like to ask. NI's forum search works well but feel free to use Google to search the forums. Try searching with alternate terms, like "System Tray" instead of "Icon Tray".
Posting a Question
When posting a question you should first follow the guidelines linked earlier. In addition to those points I'd like to mention a few more:
Not everyone on the forums speaks English. If English is not your native language feel free to post questions in your first language, but be aware that there are several non-English speaking sub-forums. If you post a non-English question in the English forum, you may or may not get people who speak your language. Stick to forum for that language to ensure you get the help you need.
Post in the right sub-forum. Language is the first sub-forum to consider, but topic is another. If you are asking a question about LabVIEW exams, it is better to post in the Certification board, rather than the LabVIEW board. If you posted in the wrong forum ask a moderator to move it to the appropriate section.
Have a useful title. The title of your question should never be "labview" for "fpga". Your title should also not be a paragraph. It should be a quick summary of the topics your post is going to discuss.
Do not use caps lock unless you are really yelling. It would be rude for me to ask a question by yelling and the same goes for the forums. This goes for the title and the post.
Do not beg for help using words like URGENT, or LIFE AND DEATH. This is again rude, we are largely volunteers that like to help, but not when we are being yelled at.
Use words not letters "NEED hlp Plz R U labview xpert?" Use full English sentences. If you have trouble with this please refer back to speaking in your native language, or go back and take English class.
There is rarely a need to change the font size, color or style from the default settings. You are wasting your time, and likely making your post harder to read. Stick with the default font styles.
Try giving as much information about the conditions of your question. Things like: What version of LabVIEW are you using? What operating system are you using? What hardware are you using? and What sensors are you using? are a few common ones.
If you want to ask the same question on another LabVIEW board like LAVA, feel free to do so. One thing that helps collaborate efforts is to provide a link in your post back to the other place where the question was asked. This way someone on the NI forums can see what has already been said on another forum.
When posting code post the actual code not a screenshot. You wouldn't take a screenshot of a text file and post it on a text language forum. Upload the actual VI, or zip several files and upload the zip. The exception to this rule is when uploading a VI Snippet. This is an image with the VI embedded in it, so the source is still intact.
When you don't get the help you want
If you posted a question and didn't get any response, or didn't understand the responses you got, do not make a new thread on the same topic. Doing this will fragment the conversation and you will have two groups of people working on the same problem.
Don't simply BUMP a thread with a new post without more information. This is a sign that you don't want to put in any effort and are simply nagging others to help you. If a thread goes dry and you want more help, try getting more information on the subject, or try something and reply to the thread with this new information. This shows you are willing to work towards your goal, and aren't just looking for others to do your work for you.
When you get the help you want
Volunteers put in effort to help you and they want to know they are appreciated. The forums have several ways to say "Thank You" to those that have helped. Here are the preferred methods.
Kudos
You can thanks a person on the forum by giving them a Kudo. A user on the forums can Kudo a post by another user once, but multiple users can Kudo the same post which can highlight posts that a collection of users find useful.
Here is a thread discussion when users choose to give Kudos.
Marking Solutions
Any reply to a post can be marked as a solution to the post, if the sub-forum supports marking solutions. This is helpful because the thread will get a green check mark showing a solution to the question has been found. Threads can have multiple posts marked as a solution, but it is best to limit the number of posts that are the solution. Mark the posts that answer the question, not just helpful posts. A helpful post can be Kudo'd, but doesn't need to be marked as a solution.
Things Not To Do
Do not send private messages to a user asking a question. Forums exist so we can work to solve a problem as a group. Contacting someone privately causes that to not work.
Do not post personal information. This includes Email, or phone contact information. Spam bots crawl forums like this looking for your information. This also means don't make your user name an email address.
Do not have huge signatures. They waste space on the forum and can clutter the conversation. Signatures are okay, but large ones are discouraged.
Do not post homework assignments. We are not going to do your homework for you. You are welcome to ask specific questions about things you don't understand. But don't post your homework and expect someone to do it for you. You won't learn this way.
Do not resurrect old threads that have nothing to do with the new question. A post from 2002 about how to setup a DAQ task will likely not be related to your question about reading a serial port. Make a new thread asking your new question.
Looking For Free Training
Many times new users of NI hardware or software just don't know where to start. They will ask a question but without knowing the terms, or the intended purpose, they will not be able to form a proper question. Here are some free training tools primarily focused on LabVIEW and NI hardware.

Unofficial Forum Rules and Guidelines - Hooovahh - LabVIEW Overlord
If 10 out of 10 experts in any field say something is bad, you should probably take their opinion seriously.

When attaching code:
Include all subVIs, typedefs, and global variables, etc.
Remove all passwords from password protected VIs.
Do NOT include anything from vi.lib or that is part of a standard LabVIEW installation.
Do NOT include libraries from commercial third party drivers unless you suspect them to be the cause of the problem.
If it is an entire project, zip everything up. (A "*.lvproj" file does NOT contain anything useful. All code referenced in the project needs to be included).
If you attach more than one VI, tell us the name of the toplevel VI.
Set all controls to typical values, then make them default before saving. Do not set indicators to new default values, especially e.g. graphs containing huge amounst of data.
Ideally, all we should need to do is open and run the VI to see the problem.
The default data should be typical and not biased in any way. If an input is a matrix, don't make it square or symmetric unless that is guranteed to always be the case.
Tell us how to demonstrate the bug (e.g. Run A, set control B to X, Indicator C is now Y while I expect it to be be Z instead, etc.). Include these instruction as diagram comment on the toplevel VI.
If the problems is with reading a file, include a sample file that demonstrates the problem.
If you run the newest LabVIEW version, you might want to downconvert to a lower version before attaching (file...save for previous...). This way there are more people that can potentially help. (Of course if the suspected bug depends on the version, you should attach the version that demonstrates the bug.)
If you make claims about speed or benchmarking:
Tell us what you consider fast or slow. "Seconds" could be fast for one problem while "microseconds" could be considered slow for another.
Include your benchmarking code.
Make sure the speed test is sound and not polluted by debugging settings. Keep the front panels of subVIs closed, watch for code running in parallel, and avoid front panel updates.
Make a distinction between slow code and slugginsh FP responsiveness.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Oracle Business Rule : Unable to modify the rule at runtime

Hi
I am developing simple Business rule using Oracle jdevelper 11g which displays a message based on two rules.
rule1 : If amount <= 100, displays the message "Less than or equal to 100"
rule2 : If amount >100 and amount less than 200 display the message "Between 100 and 200"
The above rule is created within the BPEL process which accepts a parameter. Once the BPEL project has been published, it has created a Dictionary with one ruleset having two rules mentioned above.
If I test the BPEL process through em console response is getting displayed based on the above rule.
Now I am trying to modify Rule2 through SOA Composer as below.
Rule2 : If amount >100 and amount less than 300 display the message "Between 100 and 300"
After editing and modifying the rule , the message is not getting updated properly in the properties window. If I save and commit the rule, BPEL process is giving the error
If any one has faced this problem and got the solution, please help me to solve this issue
Thanks in advance

Hi
Thanks for the response.
I have saved and committed the new rule. When modified the rule, assert new value is displaying as blank. If I click on Validate button, it is not displaying any error. Once I save and commit it is showing below error in BPEL Process
The selected operation process could not be invoked.
An exception occured while invoking the webservice operation. Please see logs for more details.

Can't set fragment color manually

Hi,
I am running into a weird issue. My fragment shader looks like this:
void evaluateFragment()
fragmentColor = interpolatedColor;
As basic as can be. "interpolatedColor", in my case, are just the vertex colors. I get a nice color gradient on my quad. So far, so good.
BUT, if I try to do this, for testing purposes, I get black:
void evaluateFragment()
fragmentColor = float4( 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ); // also tried this, just in case color are 255-based: float4( 255.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ); --> still black.
I should get red, but I get black. Also, I am using the latest pb3dlib.swc ( from PixelBender3D Preview 3 ).
Any ideas?

It is probably more likely that your imported pictures are just covering the background of the button.
A picture ring is the better way to go anyways.
