Should I Use Segments Or Subclips ?

How is this for showing my ignorance !
I don't usually use DV Start/Stop Detect but I have decided to on this project.
When it is used you get Segments which are correctly numbered from 1 upwards. You are then supposed to make subclips but this of course puts Segments 2 - 9 etc. in the wrong order and entails time-wasting re-numbering.
To save this happening could the original properly numbered Segments created from DV Start/Stop Detect be used?
Would there be any disadvantages to using them without bothering to change them into subclips?

Hi Ian
When I use DV Start/Stop Detect, I usually do like this: first I move the segmented clip into a new bin, then I Make Subclips so that all subclips are gathered together (and do not mix with other items in the browser), then I change 1, 2, ...9 into 01, 02, ...09 since I usually have less then 100 subclips.
The disadvantages I know are the following.
First: a subclip is a "master" clip and is not affiliated with its original clip; if you reconnect the original clip ("Pendle Hill"), you have also to reconnect any subclip created from that (all "Segment xx from "Pendle Hill" Subclip").
Second: there was a bug in FCE 3.5 that makes the Make Freeze Frame command to always take a picture of the last frame of a subclip in the timeline, instead of the frame under the playhead. That bug seems to exist also in FCE4. - Workarounds: use a nested sequence, or change the subclip into a clip.
Third: it is not really a disadvantage, but, as you know, making subclips doesn't help in recovering disk space since the media files are left untouched.
Other than that, I find subclips handy in my workflow: I drag them all to the timeline (after fixing 01, 02, etc.), I open each of them in the viewer and I fix its IN and OUT points. Closing the remaining gaps in the timeline is fast enough, even if not automatic. I could also drag subclips one by one to the viewer and then to the timeline, but I'm used the other way.

(As far as I know when you drag a segment into the timeline you create a subclip in the timeline without using the Make Subclip command)

  • Should we use LOGGING or NOLOGGING for table, lob segment, and indexes?

    We have some DML performance issue on cf contention over the tables that also include LOB segments. In this case, should we define LOGGING on tables, lob segments, and/or INDEXES?
    Based on the metalink note < Performance Degradation as a Result of 'enq: CF - contention' [ID 1072417.1]> It looks we need to turn on logging for at least table and lob segment. What about the indexes?
    Thanks!

    >
    These tables that have nologging are likely from the application team. Yes, we need to turn on the logging from nologging for tables and lob segments. What about the indexes?
    >
    Indexes only get modified when the underlying table is modified. When you need recovery you don't want to do things that can interfere with Oracle's ability to perform its normal recovery. For indexes there will never be loss of data that can't be recovered by rebuilding the index.
    But use of NOLOGGING means that NO RECOVERY is possible. For production objects you should ALWAYS use LOGGING. And even for those use cases where use of NOLOGGING is appropriate for a table (loading a large amount of data into a staging table) the indexes are typically dropped (or at least disabled) before the load and then rebuilt afterward. When they are rebuilt NOLOGGING is used during the rebuild. Normal index operations will be logged anyway so for these 'offline' staging tables the setting for the indexes doesn't really matter. Still, as a rule of thumb you only use NOLOGGING during the specific load (for a table) or rebuild (for an index) and then you would ALTER the setting to LOGGING again.
    This is from Tom Kyte in his AskTom blog from over 10 years ago and it still applies today.
    http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:5280714813869
    >
    NO NO NO -- it does not make sense to leave objects in NOLOGGING mode in a production
    instance!!!! it should be used CAREFULLY, and only in close coordination with the guys
    responsible for doing backups -- every non-logged operation performed makes media
    recovery for that segment IMPOSSIBLE until you back it up.
    >
    Use of NOLOGGING is a special-case operation. It is mainly used in Datawarehouse (OLAP systems) data processing during truncate-and-load operations on staging tables. Those are background or even offline operations and the tables are NOT accessible by end users; they are work tables used to prepare the data that will be merged to the production tables.
    1. TRUNCATE a table
    2. load the table with data
    3. process the data in the table
    In those operations the table load is seldom backed up and rarely needs recovery. So use of NOLOGGING enhances the performance of the data load and the data can be recovered, if necessary, from the source it was loaded from to begin with.
    Use of NOLOGGING is rarely, if ever, used for OLTP systems since that data needs to be recovered.

  • Re-using Segments Created via API or Re-creating Every Time?

    Hi All,
    Wanted to get your thoughts on this...
    We have been able to create Segments via the API, however, which way to go:
    OPTION 1: Re-use Segment if there are no additions or deletions (changes) to the list? or
    OPTION 2: Re-create the Segment every time via API.
    In Option 1, we will still need to compare the existing list to the new list before deciding to re-use. However, the comparison will be done outside of Eloqua.
    In Option 2, we may create a new list even though there are no changes but we will have the historical data and it will be easier to identify lists.
    In both scenarios, data processing may affect performance.
    For those who have done this or are familiar, what would you recommend?
    Hope it's clear.
    Pinging: TJ Fields-Oracle, 1065474, freejung
    Thanks!!

    In simpler terms of creating assets and storage, creating new segments each time should not be a problem. That said, the asset choosers might end up being slow if you're blowing past 100k which will ultimately result in a poor user experience for the marketers. Please see:
    Eloqua Product Thresholds
    Beyond that, you should also consider:
    - Developers creating a process where segments and campaigns are being created automatically, and the campaigns being left active for a long time with segments are set to run every hour. For static lists, it wouldn't really result in heavy calculating but you can run into delayed contact entry into campaigns if you have hundreds of segments feeding hundreds of campaigns - each with heavy filtering. At best it would be pointless to run segments (on the canvas) hourly if the lists are static, and at worst you're making everything slower. That doesn't sound like a major concern here but something to keep in mind.
    - API tools automatically updating segments which are currently referenced in live campaigns (again, running hourly segments). This means if you re-use assets for new campaigns there is a risk that they're being referenced by a currently live campaign and you end up adding the wrong contacts to the wrong flow. Since segments share a relationship to campaigns as their primary contact feeder, the API tools should only be updating the same segment asset with new contacts if the intent is to add those contacts to an existing campaign.
    - Although keeping shared lists or segments untouched gives you some historical tracking, do not assume the contacts in those assets are exactly the same ones which were used when the campaign was launched. For example, if you delete the bouncebacks and unsubscribes after the campaign has run and go back to your segment, even if it is a simple segment with a local list, it will not contain the deleted contacts. For any serious auditing task, let the API tool archive what contacts were added to what segment. Then you can use Bulk 2.0 activity exports to keep a list of what contacts received what emails from various campaigns.

    hi Ricardo,
    I think you just have to set up a validation, you don't need an exit for that. You can do that in GGB0. On the other hand due date as field does not exist, so don't look for that
    hope this helps

  • Segments Or Subclips ?

    After I had replied to a question from Steve Kir I started to experiment with Segments and Subclips.
    Until now I have usually split my clips into Subclips so that every scene is separated.
    The only problem with Subclips is the dodgy numbering/ordering system.
    However, I have just found that Segments can be used the same as Subclips and they are numbered consecutively from 1 to 100 or any amount.
    Furthermore, just keeping them as Segments means one less process to go through.
    Are there any disadvantages to using Segments in this way? There must be otherwise Subclips would be totally superfluous?
    Ian.

    Could you explain exactly what you're doing Ian? Segments are just marker sections in a clip. They don't exist in any way outside of the clip. If you drag a segment, that is drag the marker out of the clip, the segment becomes a subclip. If you drag the segment onto the top level of the project or into a new bin it's named Segment 1 from 'ClipName' and is a subclip. It follows FCE's conventional alphanumeric ordering segment 1 followed by segment 10, 11, and so on.
    If you drag the segment directly from the clip into a sequence, you're making a subclip. It will work fine, but it does have a couple of downsides. The subclip that's in the sequence is an independent subclip. It has no master clip in the browser. This can, on longer projects, slow down sequence load times. It also means you lose the reveal in browser functionality. If you have the playhead over a clip in the sequence and press Shift-F it will show you where the master clip is even if it's buried deep in bins. This won't work, because there is no master clip in the browser. The match frame (F) function will work however.

  • Why we should assign Profitability Segment Number in sales Order

    Dear Gurus,
    Can any one tell me why we should assign profitability Segment Number in Sales Order?
    While i am createing the sales order system is asking to assign profitability Segment Number and WBS Element. Even though there is no specific assignment of these fields for incompletion log.
    Can anyone tell me what exactly is the functionality behind this Profitability Segment number?
    Good answers are rewarded with points
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi,
    If CO-PA is active settlement transfer the costs and revenue of the sales order item to profitability segment in CO-PA, if not active it gets transferred to G/L account in FI.
    Regarding functionality of Profitability segment - Need to specify Characteristics in CO-PA for profitability segments and these characteristics are used for Information system and planning. Charcteristics which are not involved in profitablity segment remains in the line item of CO-PA. In essence charcteristics decides on profitablity segments.
    Regarding removal of Profitablity segment no in Sales order .Kindly refer back to the earlier threads.
    Thanks & Regards

  • What are the mapfiles for and when should I use them?

    Hi,
    what are the map files for and why/when should I use them?
    /usr/lib/ld/map.noexstk
    usr/lib/ld/map.noexbss
    /usr/lib/ld/map.noexdata
    /usr/lib/ld/map.pagealign

    Hi, I'm sure you've read the comments, but for the benefit of those who haven't: /usr/lib/ld/map.noexstk # Linker mapfile to create a non-executable stack definition within an # executable. /usr/lib/ld/map.noexbss # Link-editor mapfile to create a non-executable bss segment definition # within an executable. /usr/lib/ld/map.noexdata # Link-editor mapfile to create a non-executable data segment definition # within an executable. These stop the various segments from being executable. Which could reduce the risk surface for exploiting security holes in an application. /usr/lib/ld/map.pagealign # Linker mapfile to create page-aligned data within an executable. Aligning the start of the data segment can reduce the number of TLB entries needed to map the data. So the smallest TLB page size is 8KB, then we have 64KB, then 4MB etc. If the data starts on a 4MB boundary then it can be mapped with 4MB pages, if not then it has to be mapped with 8KB pages until a 64KB boundary, then 64KB pages until we get to a 4MB boundary. You sometimes get a bit of performance from this, but you may also get performance stability from it. If the mapping is random sometimes it works well, sometimes it works less well. Regards, Darryl.

    What is an SO disk? Do you mean your install disks? If so, don't use them. Run Disk Utility from your hard drive. The only time you should run Disk Utility from an install disk is when you need to repair the filesystem. When running Repair Permissions, it should be run from your hard drive so that the permissions it fixes correspond with your updated OS version.

    or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.

  • I feel I must move beyond iMovie, what program should I use ?

    I have been happily using iMovie and iDVD from versions 1 through 6.  iMovie 08 was so bad that Apple made iMovie 06 available as a free download for buyers of iMovie 08. The newer iMovies were better, but they seemed “dumbed down” (even for me).  Now, I am shocked and horrified to learn that the latest iMovie does not even set chapter markers!
    So, I have continued to use iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 (they seem to work fine under OS 10.9.4).   iMovie 06 is now 8 years old!  I feel compelled to move forward. A lot of my work is DV.    In the past, most of my source material came out of S-Video.   I used a Canopus ADVC300 analog-to-digital converter that gave good results.   Going forward, I will have more video utilizing Component Video, or HDMI.
    I am looking into 2 possibilities,  Adobe Premiere elements 12, or.........Final Cut Pro X.
    The final result of my work is almost always a DVD.   It is hard for me to move from iMovie and iDVD.  I never read the manuals for either program, yet,  I was able to produce DVDs with nice menus and overall quality close to Hollywood.
    It looks like Final Cut Pro X 'can' make a DVD directly without other software.  However, from what I have seen on YouTube the result is primitive compared to what iDVD was doing 10 years ago.
    Adobe Premiere elements 12 can make nice DVDs and Blu-ray's directly.  I have no problem with using a separate program to make DVDs but I haven't got a clue how to do that with Final Cut Pro X.   I suppose I can still use iDVD, but now I'm back to using discontinued software.
    I do not need any of the high-powered affects capability that Final Cut Pro X  possesses.  My “movie-making” is mostly confined to simple editing (the old iMovie 06 did all I needed).
    Frankly, one motivation for choosing Final Cut Pro X, is the excellent, compassionate and understanding support that the kind people on this very forum provide.  So, what program should I use?

    to turn perspective for a second by 180°:
    Why do you want to switch to a new editor anyhow?
    • iM-a never did discs - that was iDVDs job = no big change in your workflow
    • iDVD is still working, and aside obsolete, complex and $$$$ DVDSP (part of obsolete FC/p) or Encore (part of Adobes CC rent package) your only option left to create disks on MacOS is indeed iDVD (...ok, there's Toast and Burn and some weird 'shareware'-stuff...)..
    • iMovie-b supports the new HDef formats (AVCHD) - you mentioned converters and DVDs = no HDef in use, in your habitat, correct?
    • if you don't need FCPX' bling-bling (I can't imagine that ) - why not using FCPX-lite = iMovie? 15$ ...
    • chapters could be done in iDVD - just to mention that ............
    • AP and FCPX are following very different concepts in usage - my personal preference is 200% on FCPX, … I was one of the loudest nay-sayers, when iM08 araised, meanwhile, FCPX is my dream!! AP (tested it) is way too complex, crowded, 'optionalized' and did I mention 'complex' for me. A bit like Windows vs. MacOS: 'everything goes' (incl. getting lost) vs. 'convenience' (incl. restrictions) ... After 2y of practice, I'm editing my weekly hobby-projects with 6-cam-Multicam, incl. tons of  custom graphics, slow-mow, effects (soccer games) in less than 2h ... awesome!
    summary:
    • why switching?
    • use iMovie10 + iDVD
    • Premiere (or Premiere Elements!) and FCPX are both avail as fee trial ... test  it - but you need iDVD anyhow
    • 'disks'  is a dwindling niché, for years!- consider to switch to 'other' distribution options
    ... what are 'chapters' anyhow??... (kid din'!)

  • Which C# Adobe library should I use to open a PDF in Acrobat Reader 9, 10, and 11?

    Hi, all.
    I have a Visual Studio C# application that writes an Adobe PDF using iText. Does anyone know how to programmatically open the PDF on client's computer and ensure it works for Adobe Reader 9, 10, and 11?
    -I have Adobe Reader XI on my machine and "Adobe Pdf Reader" is NOT showing up in my COM references. This is the library that I've heard people use for this.
    -The "Adobe Reader File Preview Type Library" is showing up there, but does not add to my project because of the following error message: "A reference to 'Adobe Reader File Preview Type Library' could not be added. Could not register the ActiveX type library....adoberfp.dll'." But I haven't persued this further becuase I'm not even convinced I should be using this library, which brings me to my next point:
    -Please don't tell me to go read the Adobe SDK spec. In searching for this answer, I found posts on here with people asking this question and getting not great answers, or half-*** answers to go read the Adobe SDK spec. I have the Adobe SDK spec, it's terrible. The example source code is laughably poor and reads like it was written by someone with bad english, with poor naming, commenting, and documentation, and there is no separate document that explains what the source code does. I think the reason people say this is because they haven't read it themselves and they don't know the answer and hope to deal with the question by handwaving. Sorry for the rant if you weren't going to do that!
    Thanks in advance, if anyone knows.
    -Brandon

    It will be from a client-side application, and I will be reviewing this further and get back on it. At this time my assembly isn't the correct type of 32-bit, which may be a deal-breaker. But downgrading it to 32-bit, I wasn't able to find or include the appropriate library for AXAcroPDF.
    Just a word about my trying to read the SDK documentation. The documentation folder has 5 items, a folder called "Javascript", an html file caled "Acrobat_11_SDK_Help_Shortcut.html", a zip file called "...HTMLHelp.zip," pdf_reference.pdf, and U3DElements.pdf. I've never heard of U3DElements, so surely that isn't meant for me. The pdf_reference.pdf, when opened, has three PDF links to two supplements to ISO 32000-1 and a document titled Document management. These describe the PDF spec, so that's not for me. So I must have to use the HTML documentation shortcut. I open it, and my browser says the redirect URL can't be found. Ah, may be that stuff in the ZIP file it's referencing. After unzipping it, you have to move the file around so that it actually references the right index.html inside the unzipped folders, and then even after this it loads up as two blank frames in my browser. I will look into why the links are all dead, but holy lord, this is just not very helpful at all.
    Thanks for your help, Test Screen Name.
