Side effects of the /$sync transaction

Hi!
Does anyone know is there any side effects of using the transaction code /$sync, which is cleaning up all buffers?
Personally I'm using it to refresh an ALV table, if it's structure was modified.
But it is applied only for my session's buffers and it will not harm other people and will not kick out other people from the SAP system.
Am I right?
Thank you
Tamá

It will not kick out other people, but it does clear ALL buffers, and not only yours. Therefore you should not do it yourself, but rather ask some people from basis if you can and may do it or let them do it.
help.sap.com:
command $SYNC to reset all the SAP buffers on the application server. These commands only affect the buffers of the application server on which the commands are entered. The buffers of the other application servers in the network are not affected.
Using the commands $TAB and $SYNC places an extremely large load on the system. In large systems, it could take up to one hour (depending on the access profile) for the buffer load to return to its original state. System performance is greatly impeded during this time.

Db2bak side effects on the database

Dear All,
I would like to know what is the impact / side effect of db2bak on the database?
Does it lock the database while running?
Moreover, if you can provide me with more ideas/ info about any other side effects would do me great.
Regards,
Scotty

I am running a stored procedure that uses getXML. I would like to know how much memory its using up. I was told to increase the java pool, but it did not help with large query of getXML. What should I monitor for getXML?
Thanks.

Is there a byte swapping side effect to the type cast function?

I am developing a PC based program that reads from a TCP connection (network byte order), yet doesn't require byte swaps? There is a non-labVIEW program on the PC which receives the same byte stream and does need to swap!

I guess you have to repack your string before sending it to the non Labview program(se posted picture). I think visual C uses litlle endian. As an example. In Labview the sgl number 123.123 is equal to to the hex byte array 42 F6 3E FA. Doing the same in visual C for a float, will give FA 3E F6 42. The same bytes but in a different order. The flatten to string function will hanlde this job for you. Use the ditailed help for pointer to examples. On this page http://www.61131.com/download.htm You will find a tool if you want to toy with number (Floating point to/from hex/binary conversion).
@grahamwebb
I think you should look at your code. Perhaps you lose or get some ekstra unwanted bytes in your programming/transmission.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

What exactly are side-effects in #pragma no_side_effect?

Which of the following qualify as side-effects for the purposes of #pragma [no_side_effect|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5265/bjaby?a=view#bjacp]:
1. dynamically allocating/deallocating memory using malloc/free or operator new/delete
2. exiting the function by throwing a C++ exception
3. temporarily changing the disposition for a signal (e.g., ignoring or suspending a signal)
4. creating a thread and joining with it

Thanks for your answers! Just to make sure I understand correctly: accessing the local state of the caller through a parameter is not a side-effect. I.e., in the following snippet the function has_no_side_effects() has no side-effects:
int get (int *p) { return *p; }
void set (int *p, int x) { *p = x; }
void has_no_side_effects () {
    int x;
    int y;
    set (&x, 0);    // not a side-effect (x is local)
    y = get (&x);   // same
}But in the following, has_side_effects() does:
void has_side_effects () {
    static int x;
    static int y;
    set (&x, 0);    // side-effect: writing a "global"
    y = get (&x);   // side-effect: reading a "global"
}Also, reading global const data (i.e., what might be in ROM) is not a side-effect. Correct? E.g.,
static const int global[] = { 1, 2 };
void has_no_side_effects () {
    int x;
    int y;
    x = global [0];   // not a side-effect, global is in ROM
    y = global [1];   // same
}

Newbie: Method should or should not have side effects

Hi experts,
What does it really mean when I read for the InputVerifier class that the method 'shouldYieldFocus' can have side effects but the method 'verify' should not have side effects.
Thanks for you comments.
tuckie

I am but a newbie only asked to learn and maintain. The reason I ask about side effects is that the shouldYieldFocus() method is invoked twice for the same tab key event. When the tab key (or mouse click) wants to move focus to another input the current input's shouldYieldFocus() is invoked, it in turn invokes verify() which validates data returning true or false and checks to see if a warning should be issued that the data is legal but high. If the data is not high it also returns true and the focus is yielded. Also shouldYieldFocus() is only invoked once. It is when the data is high and the showConfirmDialog() is put up that I get the second shouldYieldFocus() invocation. The previous coder put in a de-bouncing mechanism and I think this is where/how the problems with the next field are created. Sometimes the next field's focusLost() is invoked without the operator making any input. The focusLost() does some fill in the blank things that are reasonable only if the operator really wanted not to fill in any data in the field.
Back to my original point, I was wondering if the fact that the verify() method may have a dialog box put up before it returns to shouldYieldFocus() is the kind of thing that shouldn't be done - no side effects. If so then it could be the likely cause of the problem with the next field sometimes being automatically filled in as if it had received a focusLost() event.

What's with this stupid wobbly effect in the iPhone and iPad cameras?

When using the camera on an iPad or an iPhone, any movement causes a ridiculous wobbling effect that makes video and still photos rather hard to take and the final shots look awful...
Anyone know if there's a way to turn this off?
Anyone at Apple have anything to say about this?

Just tried again, and the most I can get is some slight distortion when panning the camera left and right quite rapidly (too fast to actually make out much). When I do that it kind of looks like the image is skewed a little bit, where the top of the picture is slightly in front of the rest of the image, making vertical objects look somewhat bent.
Is this what you mean?
Again, I think this is due to the screen and camera hardware not being able to keep up with each other. I've seen similar "effects" on other dedicated digital cameras, however, in normal use (i.e. not rapidly panning left and right repeatedly), I've not noticed it.
It's probably a side effect of the relatively low quality cameras these devices have in comparison to dedicated video cameras.

Any side effects on JRE/JVM when setting Desktop Heap Size?

In Win2003 we experience a limitation of about 70 java.exe's. By setting the Desktop Heap Size we can increase this limit to more than double. Link showing more info on Desktop Heap Size:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ntdebugging/archive/2007/01/04/desktop-heap-overview.aspx
Does this give any side effects to the running java.exe's?
Has anyone experimented with this?

Hi Bobo
It seems to be a bit small. I have close the same configuration like you and set the
maxMemory to 512 MB/server

Does this value of 64M make any sense??? This is the default out of the box setting

Also as a side note, can any point me in the direction of any formulas for the

Accessing UIView.bounds has side effects?

I'm trying to debug another CocoaTouch issue, and so I added a bit of logging to my view controller:
NSLog(@"view size = %f,%f", self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height);
But just adding this line of code changes the behavior, causing my lower subviews to appear about 45 pixels higher than they do without the line.
I've read the UIView bounds documentation six times, but I can't see anything there suggesting that I should expect side-effects from the getter.
Anybody know what's going on here?

Hi,
maybe it's because you're accesing self.view, wich will cause the view beeing loaded if it wasn't loaded allready.
So, depending on where you put this line of code it could change the behavior of your app at least in theory.

Path Segment Reshaping feature's unpleasant side effect

So an apparent side effect of the new Path Segment Reshaping feature is that the direct selection tool now only selects a portion of the path you click on. This is very annoying! It makes it look like your path is non-contiguous. Is there any way to disable Path Segment Reshaping?

It seems to only happen with curved paths that:
are not a complete circuit
have four or more anchor points
I think this is a bug, though, because if your path is a closed circuit, it doesn't happen, and the path segment reshaping feature continues to work regardless.

Pot object remote connection side effect

Hi folks,
I've found a little side effect in the remote connection of a pot object and its input limits. Sometimes it happens that the value input in the pot object is not written. See the attached project.
Thanks
Mario Fanelli

test_remote_connection.zip ‏6 KB

Hi Ryan,
Yes, I think so. The way to solve this effect is to input a wrong value inside the limits of the pot object an after input the correct value. This allow to generate the write event needed for changing the value at the limits of the pot.
Have a nice day

Hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using

hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using ??

It is safe to download if your phone is not jailbroken. Before you download it, however, take some precautions:
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall
Connect the phone cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
Before updating right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "Backup"
When you are given the choice choose "Download only", not "Download and Update"
After the download completes successfully click the Update button to install it.
Most of these steps are just being overly cautious, as most people ignore them and have no problems. But occasionally the extra steps save grief.

What are the non-obvious side-effects of using $psdefaultparametervalues.add("ft:wrap",$True) ?

I'm thinking about dropping these two lines into my profile.ps1 script:
$psdefaultparametervalues.add("ft:wrap",$True)
$psdefaultparametervalues.add("ft:auto",$True)
Are there any adverse side-effects that I will suffer after I do that?
I know that I'll have to do explicit overrides to those switch values to Format-Table if I don't want those defaults.

One thing I can think of is if you use -Property * to list everything, it has the potential to leave out columns if the properties are too long.
Try this first:
gci | Select -first 1 | FT *
Then this:
gci | Select -first 1 | FT * -auto -wrap
Besides that , I can't really think of anything else; perhaps others can think of things.

Is there any side effect despite in 'sharing' when I change the computername in os x 10.6

Hi,
I'm not sure about any side effect if I change my computer's name (currently like 'first name last name MacbookPro'), e.g will time machine have any trouble with that? Would like to change to a shorter name.
Computer is in use since 2 years and everything works fine. Just tried to integrate sonos music system with my mac and have trouble sharing iTunes library with sonos. Therefore sonos support asked me to shorten the computers name and see if that helps.
To me seems more sth like permission problem on one of the folders above iTunes. Is there any logfile I could check to find out about access to files which permission settings don't allow?
Tia and kind regards
Manu

no.
you can safely change your computer's name as often as you like.
