SLEEP FUNCTION QUESTION

I have a Pearl 8130 (Verizon).
I am inquiring about the "sleep" function that happens when you buy a case with a magnet flipper. Does it just dim the screen immediately? Or does it do something else? I'm curious because i bought a flipper case that I'm not pleased with and basically only wanted it for that function - does it REALLY save the battery? Is it that necessary. Thanks!
Solved!

No it is not the same, as the sleeper magnet puts the BB to sleep in other ways, while in the holster. Dimming the backlight to 80% is a good battery saving tip as well, but is not the same as putting the BB to sleep in the holster.

Nano 4G - Sleep function and volume question

Hey all,
i'm owning my first ipod right now and i'm kinda disappointed...mainly concerning two things..I hope someone more experienced with a ipod can assist me...
1. problem: sleep function @ ipod 4G..is there one? i didn't find anything to auto-shut-off the decive after eg. XX minutes...
2. problem: volume: even when I decrease the volume to the minimum, it's still too loud..I would like the volume to be lower to listen eg. to the ipod when falling asleep..is a bigger decrease of the volume possible?
best rgds,
max

to clarify it: i mean a SLEEP TIMER, the function which should switch off the ipod after a specified time period...it's impossible that the ipod 4g doensn't offer that STANDARD feature...

Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work.

Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work neither when chosen after pressing the button nor chosen in the apple menu..

I have had the same problem but on another forum it was suggested that disabling internet sharing would solve this. This fix seems to work on my machine - why it works I do not understand

Need help in using sleep function in pl/sql

Hi,
need help:
I have a condition where i want to validate total_pass=total_fail and
I want to use the sleep function in a pl/sql where i want to wait for 2 minutes ie.checking
whether total_pass=total_fail based upon class_id .
I have the data in the table as:
CLASS_ID TOT_PASS TOT_FAIL
1 10 10
2 5 4
3 6 6
4 7 5
Any help will be needful for me

I'm not quite sure what you are lookg for here, but whatever it is, your code as posted won't do it. You will never break out of the WHILE r_Class.Tot_Pass = r_Class.Tot_Fail loop, since these values will never change because you never get the next record form the cursor.
From your original data, it looks like your cursor will return multiple rows which implies to me that you want to fetch the first row from the cursor, check if tot_pass = tot_fail, if they are equal, sleep for two minutes then get the next row. This does not make sense to me. Once the select in the cursor is executed, the data it returns will not change due to Oracle's read consistency model, so there seems to me no point in the sleep.
The other alternative I can see is that you want to check all the returned rows, and if tot_pass = tot_fail for one of the rows (or possibly for all of the rows), then you want to sleep and try again.
If you can explain in words what it is you are trying to accomplish, someone will be able to point you to a solution.

External FW/USB Western Digital, Seagate Disk Drives and 'Sleep' function

As you are aware, most external disk drives be they FW or USB (and irrespective of the manufacturer, save for LaCie) have a 'sleep' function built into their Firmware. In the case of the Western Digital and Seagate Ext FW drives I have, this function cannot be disabled and this per both WD and Seagate.
Unfortunately this is extremely annoying if using Photoshop and Bridge...it takes about ten seconds for each disk to spin up while the latter programs search the drives. (In Windows this can be enabled/disabled. Not so with the Mac O/S I have been told). Multiply this by six of the aforementioned drives and it can be quite time consuming.
Is there an OS-X workaround for this?
Thanks again,
Lyman

I always avoid vendor cases. Might want to look at an Oxford 912 etc, or better yet, why use Firewire when eSATA works so well?

I can't use the sleep functions, is it a bug?

i just updated my Ipod to 1.2 .And i found the sleep function is not available. there is no menu to set the sleep time. when i put the sleep menu , my nano turns off immediately. is it a software bug?

i have had the answer.
the sleep function can't be used as a sleep timer.the sleep timer is set in clock menu.

Sleep Function in PL/SQL

Hi Guys,
I am creating a procedure which will check for the fileld in the database and if it returns NULL should go to sleep for 15 minutes and then will again check for the field. I am planning to use DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP function. Please can you suggest if the same is fine or advise if in case there is any other specific function which I require to use as I have read that the mentioned function is not accurate in calculating the SLEEP time.

SLEEP Procedure

PL/SQL lock timer
Definition: This Wait-Event represents the amount of time a user or application has “slept” through the USER_LOCK.SLEEP or DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP procedures.
When investigating Oracle Wait-Events, the lion's share of time is spent looking at those events where applications consume precious system resources or are in direct contention with other users or applications. These resource waits revolve around excessive CPU, memory, or disk usage. Events that spin for Oracle internal structures such as latches or enqueues can also be of concern. As their name suggests, Wait-Events DO ‘wait’ on some event to complete before a user or application can continue with its work. Contention for system resources will overwhelm Oracle’s ability to immediately process the SQL and ultimately cause applications to accumulate time in resource specific Wait-Events.
On the flip-side of resource waits there are what are called idle events. These events do not wait for any specific resource but record the time Oracle is waiting for a work request from the application. Many practitioners of Oracle performance will not even look at these idle events because they do not consume resources and are not limiting what Oracle can do at any given point in time. Some will even go so far as to state that the idle events have no meaningful information. This is not necessarily true. Take for instance the idle event ‘SQL*Net message from client’. This idle event is not inhibiting the database server from performing work but, as many agree, is an indication of poor response from client to database server. While idle events are not the result of direct resource contention, they are an accurate measure of accumulated delays in the application imposed by Oracle.
The ‘idle’ event “PL/SQL lock timer” is worth watching because it points us in the direction of application response, throughput, and possible coding issues. The PL/SQL lock timer event is, as the command that issues it states, a sleep mandated by the application code. The application is idle and doing nothing. This means that if the application sleeps for a combined interval of 5 minutes, the response to the user or complete run of the application will take at least 5 minutes longer.
While this event does not require resources and thus is not an Oracle resource contention issue, it is our job to provide the quickest response to users and push applications through our system to increase the user’s perceived performance.
Most often, sleeps are put into an application for serialization of transactional events or spinning on queues until something happens. When the event occurs or a queue is populated, then the application continues its work. We should ask ourselves why an application is sleeping for any amount of time and provide alternatives if necessary to reduce this idle event. You will gain quicker responses if you trigger an action instead of the action waiting for an event.
How to look at the PL/SQL lock timer event
To initiate a sleep for the current session for five seconds.
SQL> execute sys.dbms_lock.sleep(5);
To take a look at current sessions that are using the SLEEP command. Notice that the column P1 in V$SESSION does not represent the amount of time the session has slept but in fact represents the duration this session will sleep. Also note that this column is in centiseconds and as such the five seconds issued for a sleep has been translated in to 500 centiseconds.
SQL> select osuser,event,p1 from v$session where event = 'PL/SQL lock timer'
OSUSER EVENT P1

SD & FI BI functional Questions

Hi Experts,
I need to ask some questions to customer on SD & FI functional related questions for BI Analytical reports..
Already cutomer implemented Data ware house Informatica with congnos reporting tool.
right now they want to implement BI.
please any one can share on what type functional questions could ask the customer.
Advance Thanks,

Hi,
A few more pointers.
Start with Reports. What the client is using. What he is expecting.
If he got existing reports map the fields with Business Content BW Fields. Go to Business content and make a list of queries which are delivered from SAP. Explain them the KPI's. This should be good to start with. Also check the Tcodes they use.
Look for DataSources that get data from theses Tcode's.
Project Preparation (Initial stuff -- Do a conceptual review after this phase requirements gathering)
Collect requirement thru interviews with Business teams /Core users / Information Leaders.
Study & analyze KPI's (key figures) of Business process.
Identify the measurement criteria's (Characteristics).
Understand the Drill down requirements if any.
Understand the Business process data flow if any.
Identify the needs for data staging layers in BW (i. e need for ODS if any)
Understand the system landscape.
Prepare Final Requirements Documents in the form of Functional Specifications containing:
Report Owners, Data flow, KPI's, measurement criteria's, Report format along with drilldown requirements.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

IPod sleep function stopped working, Any ideas?

I can't seem to get the sleep function to work on my iPod. When I click on 60 minutes, nothing happens and the iPod never turns off. Does anyone know how this works?
George

Besides making sure the hold switch is off etc... has it worked before? If so, did you have it plugged in usb and headphones? Have you changed what is plugged in? If it worked and you changed nothing then try a simple reset first..then go to those 5 R's
Good Luck,

How to repair the sleep function with the latest version 10.8?

After installing 10.8 I have a problem with the "sleep" function. When I use this by hand my iMac shut down and have to restart.
This problem doesen't appear when I use the automatic one (in my case shut the iMac down after 15 minutes) and can I use the my iMac without any problem after touching the spacebar.

Sleep function

Hi,
I have used sleep function in my pl/sql code. I have written the code as below:
create or replace package ab is
procedure def ;
PROCEDURE TEST_SLEEP(TIME1 NUMBER);
end ab;
create or replace package body ab is
PROCEDURE TEST_SLEEP
TIME1 IN NUMBER
) IS
BEGIN
DBMS_LOCK.sleep(TIME1);
END TEST_SLEEP;
procedure def is
begin
for i in 1 .. 5 loop
if i=5 then
TEST_SLEEP(i);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I);
end if;
if i=1 then
TEST_SLEEP(i);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I);
end if;
if i=3 then
TEST_SLEEP(i);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I);
end if;
if i=4 then
TEST_SLEEP(i);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I);
end if;
end loop;
end def;
end ab;
and every time iam calling that procedure to sleep for some time and display the output through def procedure. But in this the output is displaying for all conditions at the end of execution.
any one help me please.
Regards,
Bharat G.

ya we can recode it to simplify the code. But my requirement is to print the output that shows the time difference of an execution. That does not mean that one can now forget about simplifying the code. The art of programming is to achieve the requirements with as few lines of code as possible. Simplicity is the ultimate form of elegance.
At the end of procedure execution the output is displaying normally, but i want the output to display everytime it satisfies the condition. By this I can see that its delaying the execution everytime when it enters into the conditional statements.Do not really understand what the requirement is that you describe. Keep in mind that PL/SQL code is server-side code. It run inside a server process.
So the client makes a PL/SQL: begin MyPackage.FooProc( :var1 ); end;
This is received by the server. Is parsed. Is executed. And the COMPLETE call is executed. Including all DBMS_OUTPUT calls.
The call is completed. The client gets the response code that says it was successful.
The client now makes another call - it requests the DBMS_OUTPUT buffer from the session. It receives the contents from the server and renders it.
DBMS_OUTPUT is NOT an interactive display device. It does NOT write to the client display.

Sumifs function question

Hi, Everyone, I have a function question of Sumifs, here a sample as follows,
=SUMIFS(Budget :: E4:E14,Budget :: C4:C14,"=5003677000",Budget :: B4:B14,OR("=Transit","=Drawing cash")), according to the logic, I think like this, but it's wrong. So how to insert the OR function to the Sumifs function? May someone find the mistake in the function?
Thank you.
Alex

I think you would actually do a sum of simifs, i.e. Sumif(....."Transit") + Sumif(....."Drawing Cash")
Basically if you have two sumifs that differ in only one condition that would be treated like an OR in SQL, then make one Sumif for each unique set of conditions and add them up

OIC: Functional Question(11.5.10)

Hi All,
I would like to know answer for the following functional question in Oracle 11.5.10 Incentive Compensation Application(OIC). I would greatly appreciate if you anyone can reply for this.
1. Question on Foreign currency exchange rates:
We know that OIC cannot handle foreign currency exchange rates. Since all of our offer letters to the Sales guys are in local currency what we end up doing is picking an exchange rate on July 1st every year and converting them to US $. What I’m wondering is why couldn’t we just set them up in OIC in their local currency, without converting them?
Is that possible? OIC can handle this?
2. In OIC, Can I enter a DUMMY Acoount Executive (since we are not going to credit any single person in the Primary Account Executive role) that bookings could be credited to in order to ensure they roll up to the appropriate manager?
a) Is that possible?
b) Does this DUMMY Acoount Executive should be part of the HR Employee setups as well?, In OIC should we need to load the transaction for DUMMY Account
Executive so that credit will get rolled up to approriate managers based on the Group hiearchy setups?
Thanks,
Johnson

Yes

Executive so that credit will get rolled up to approriate managers based on the Group hiearchy setups?
You do not need to set up the dummy resource as employee. All you need is to create as OTHER type of resource and add that resource to group.
Hope this helps.

IPhone 4s iOS6 Music Player Sleep Function

Am I missung something in the music player on the iPhone. Is there no Sleep Function? If there is no sleep function how could Apple overlook this feature. I remember having it on my iPod Classic.

Not sure why you are having problems. I have had no problems with my 4S playing music after the update. Hopefully you will get it worked out.
