Smart playlist - only one 1 instance of artists?

Is there a way to create smart playlist(s) to accomplish the following:
Randomly choose songs from the library but do not repeat any artists in the list (in other words, you would only have 1 song from any of the artists)
Possible?

Check the tracks that don't play...are they set to Skip When Shuffling? (Look under Get Info on the tracks.) And are you using the Shuffle feature when attempting to play the list?

How to restrict only one instance of web service running at a time

Hi All,
Have a requirement to ensure that only one instance of java web service is active at any point of time.
Using Application Server 10.1.3.4. Not the soa suite.
Thanks
Saikrishna

Thanks for the reply..
I have a java web service that pulls up some files produced periodically from remote machine and uploads them to some doc mgmt system and then update the database that what files are uplaoded successfully so that during next run it will ignore those files.
so, if my web service executes second time before completion of first run. It would pick files that were already processed by first run since the first run might have not updated the databse yet.
Thanks

Getting Error :- Only one instance of COBRAS Export can be running at a time

Hi All,
I was checking the Briefcase Mode help file and it mentions for Unity Conection
that COBRAS will run multiple instances of itself – if you schedule multiple backups to fire up at the same time they will all run at the same time.
However if I schedule multiple backups to fire at the same time then I get the error :- "Only one instance of COBRAS Export can be running at a time".
This also happens if the COBRAS windows is left open and the scheduled backup starts in the background.
http://www.ciscounitytools.com/Applications/General/COBRAS/Help/COBRAS_Briefcase/COBRAS_Briefcase.htm#_Toc276653845
I am not sure if I am making a mistake in understanding the statement :- "COBRAS will run multiple instances of itself – if you schedule multiple backups to fire up at the same time" or do we need to add any switch like lot of other application need like /m etc in the field of the scheduled backups as I see as /silent switch for process to run in background automatically but none for multiple instances.
I am attaching the screen shots of the errors I got when
A.) I scheduled 2 backups to run at the same time and the COBRAS application window was open "COBRASExportCUC7.exe" was running and no backup took place and got errors for both the scheduled backups.
And
B.) I scheduled 2 backups to run at the same time and the COBRAS application window was closed off and "COBRASExportCUC7.exe" was not running and one of the scheduled backups started to work and the other one gave error and didn't work
Unity Connection in use :- Version 8.0.3.20000-18
Cobras Export :- Version 1.0 Build 76
Please Suggest.

Yeah, I’m of two minds on that – on the one hand it’s bad style to have a scheduled application popping dialog boxes (especially if you’re running as an account you don’t log in as regularly) – one the other hand I did have some sites go a while not noticing backups were failing (due to a UNC not flying any longer after a server reconfig) – folks can be bad about checking log files or the event log for issues. A pop up would pretty much guarantee they’d notice on next login at any rate.
I think I may stitch in email notifications in COBRAS Export in the same way they’re in the User Data Dump so failures of scheduled backups would be noticed right away (big, bright email in your box saying “failed!” would do it).
Either way, I’ll update the help and make sure it fails quietly for now when I update some other items on the site middle of next week.
Thanks for the report.

Instead of creating multiple Instances I want to create only one Instance.

Hi Everyone
Good morning, How are you.
I have a requirement to transfer files from one location to another location, I am able to do this successfully using FTP Adapters.
I have some Issues please help any one.
1) When I deployed my process it is creating one instance for one file transfer, Suppose If I have 50 files in my Get
directory, After deploy the process 50 instances are creating and 50 Email generating saying files are not tranfered successfully.
Instead of creating 50 Instances I want to create only one Instance.
2) When files are not transferd it will fire error mail saying that not success (I want to display all file names(not tranfered files) in my mail , i.e whatever files are not tranfered, need to diplay in mail).
3) And I am not able to transfer 0 size files, But in BPEL Console Instance is creating for 0 size file also and I am getting Email for success... and In put directory 0 size file is not showing. (Instance is creating and Success Email coming but file is not exists in Put directory)
Please help me.
Regards
Venkat

Allowing only ONE instance of a PDF to be open

I'm trying to work out a new system for proofreading and commenting in our business using the Comment and Markup tools in Acrobat 8 Professional. I'd like to allow multiple users on a network to interact and markup a PDF easily. I'd like to make it so that one of two things can happen:
a) Only one instance of a PDF can be opened at once on the same network. That is to say, if a user on one computer opens a PDF, another user on the network on a different computer cannot open that same PDF at all, until the first user has closed it. Also, I'm not sure if the functionality for this would be implemented in Acrobat or the operating system (Mac OS X 10.6, to be precise).
b) Multiple users can open a PDF simultaneously, and markups and comments from all users are somehow saved.
I'm sure it's more of a possibility for a) to happen, but perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway, I hope there is a solution out there! Thanks for all your help!

George,
Thank you for your helpful reply. It does appear that Shared Reviews is capable of providing our business exactly what we need in this regard. I have found that Acrobat 8 does support Shared Reviews, but it only does so with Network Folder locations and WebDAV folders as locations for comment servers. I know how to get to the process to set up Shared Reviews, but not how to designate or set up a folder as a comment server using Network Folders or WebDAV. Unless you just so happen to know about that process as well, I will post a new thread, since the problem of finding a solution has been solved, but the new problem of implementing it has risen.
Although using Acrobat X Pro to share PDFs and collaborate automatically using Acrobat.com sounds mighty tempting...

PAR iView: Only one instance need to be opened by a user in a portal sessio

Hi All,
Please let us know how to enforce only one instance of PAR iView is opened at a given time for a user.
Regards,
Gangadharayya.
For Eg: let us say We have created PAR iview <b>A</b>. Once user <b>U</b> logs in to portal and opens A by clcking on iView link(Let us say that it opens in New Window).
If U clicks once again on A iView link now , it is opening in one more new window.
How to stop this scenario i.e. when user tries to open A once again, it should clsoe previous window or SOMETHING LIKE THAT

Hi,
How do you link to IView ? If you link with html like
<a href="http://www.sap.com" target="_blank">SAP</a>
try to use a target parameter
<a href="http://www.sap.com" target="sap">SAP</a>
If you link in this way,
First time user clicks link,
It opens new window
If user clicks the link second time it just refreshes previous opened window.
Regards
Abdul.

Only one instance in a RAC will start at a time

All:
I have a 4 node Oracle RAC running on RHEL AS 4 64 bit. 10.2.0.1 64 Bit
This DB was running just fine last week.
Now all of a sudden only one instance will start.
In the alert log I get an ORA-1102
crsctl shows everything good
srvctl show all node apps running
srvctl shows all ASM instances running
When the second instance starts the alert log shows the reconfiguration taking place.
Then the second instance will die after getting an ORA-1102.
I have tried deleting and re-adding all the instances with DBCA.
ocrcheck comes back fine on all nodes.
I have another RAC on the same set of HP Blades that is still hunky dorey so I don't know what is going on.
Please help.

Hi,
check the value of cluster_database parameter
it should be TRUE on all instances, also post ur alert log and trace file.
Thanks

Best way to have only one instance of an object in web application.

Hello,
I defined a class that provides services to my web application: subscribes user, check if user already subscrubed etc. The objects don't need to save any session information. So it is like a Stateless Session Bean (from what I've read about Session beans).
The webapp is small and I don't want to use EJBs.
What would be the best way to have one instance of the above class in my webapp ?
Would making the class static be a good method ? Using a factory ?
Is there a way to put in web.xml something that asks the container to instantiate an object that is not a servlet and place it in Application scope, so that I cann retrieve it whenever required in my app ?
Other suggestions ?
Thank you,
Vlad.

Hi
The best way to have only one instance is use the singleton pattern. The idea is : the class has a private
contructor, a public static method that returns an instance of this object and a static member that is false if not any instance and true if there si an instance.
To obtain one instance you can do some like
MyObject ob=MyObject.getIntance();
this method inspect the static member and returns null if true. If false set to true and return the object
via the private constructor.

Consumer Group/Resource Plan to use only one instance of a RAC

What would be the way to create a Consumer Group/Resource Plan to use only one instance of a RAC? I have 10.1.0.5 database
running on 10.1.0.5 RAC.
Thanks,

You should use "services" to limit workload to just one specific node of RAC:

BREAK ON noAfter you give this command, if the first column in the output is called no, then SQL*Plus will not show it if it is the same as the value on the line right above it.

Smart Playlists: One instance of artist per list?

Hi there,
When I have a smart playlist create a list by my ratings (eg 3+) is there any way I can limit the amount of times an artist is added? I want to try and avoid a playlist dominated by one artist!
Thank you in advance for your help!

Windows doesn't do Applescript, but iTunes for Windows does have a programming interface, which I've used frequently to do various things.
So what the OP wants to do is possible with a script, but I'm too tired to write it right now :-/
Maybe tomorrow... maybe. But note: the playlist the script creates will not be a smart playlist -- it would be an ordinary playlist.

Do smart playlists only accept one variable?

My smart playlists no longer do anything if I have more then one variable selected. Is this a new "feature"? Is there a work around?

Taylor.
Interesting. It looks to me like iTunes 12 works the same as previous releases (see below). But... as an experiment, choose Edit Smart Playlist, and while the window is there, does anything happen if you hold down the Option key?

Smart Playlist: I want to make a smart playlist that plays songs by artists included in other playlists. How?

Here's an example: I have a smart playlist that only plays songs that have been played 2 or more times (Playlist A). I want to make another smart playlist (B) that plays songs by the artists included on playlist A but that are songs not included on playlist A because they have not been played two times yet.
I could do this by making a smart playlist that says to play:
Any songs
not included on Playlist A
by artists included on Playlist A
But for the life of me, I can not figure out how to do this simple thing. My options for Playlist are only "is" or "is not".
I hope that the reason for this is clear - I want to listen to other tracks by artists who have written songs I know I like.
Thanks for looking!

But I have to say, I don't know why that the "is/is not included in" field would not be an option. They oughtta add it!
The problem is that the Smart Playlist rules, although they look complicated, are really oriented to analyzing individual tracks. So "is this track in Playlist A" is easy to do, but "is this track by an Artist for which there is at least one track in playlist A," is currently undoable. However, you can make suggestions to Apple by using the iTunes Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Thanks you solved my question.
Enjoy the music!

Sharing iTunes library/playlist, only one user can run iTunes

Greetings everyone
Just got a new aluminum iMac, setting it up for the wife and kids. From the descriptions here, I have set up several accounts to share a single iTunes library, by creating aliases in each user's iTunes folder that point to the shared library. It seems to work great: I only have to import music ONCE (instead of once for each user), and if one user creates or changes a new playlist, everyone sees it, which is exactly what I wanted.
However, I have run into a small problem, and it is this. Under this setup, with everyone sharing the same library, *only one person can be running iTunes at a time.* If user A is running iTunes and doesn't quit the app when the computer is switched to User B or C, they get the message
----- +"The iTunes Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."+
----- Switch back to User A, quit iTunes, and then the others can launch iTunes fine (though again, just ONE of them). Same behavior regardless of whether the user is admin or not.
So, is there any way to enable more than one user to run iTunes at once under this shared scenario? I'm thinking iTunes may not allow multiple users to access the library file at once, so it may be necessary to have users quit iTunes or log out before switching accounts. Let me know if there is a workaround or if anyone has gotten this to work....
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I just read your post here - I'd like to do exactly what you were able to do, that is, sharing one iTunes library with multiple user accounts on my iMac so that we can both use/add to the same library (I also want to do this with iPhoto, so I'm assuming it's the same process); would you mind quickly telling me how you were able to do this? I've been checking around and can't find a reliable answer. I'd appreciate it - thanks!
