[SOLVED]Noob source question

I was curious because every single video I've seen(I use video's to learn) on installing Arch is only about installing ArchBang, and when going through the install process they only seem to have to go through setting the clock, partitioning the harddrive, configuring the system and installing bootloader. So I was wondering if choosing the source is necessary if I am installing from USB?

Have you read The Arch Linux Beginner's Guide? It is not recommended to install Arch by following any other method. Furthermore, if you're really installing ArchBang, rather than Arch Linux, you should ask about it on their fine forums - I'm not saying that's what you're doing, I'm just pre-empting the possibility, since you haven't said what iso you're using.
To answer your question about sources, is there any reason you can't first make a guess and then redo the install if things go wrong? You shouldn't use Arch Linux if you're not willing to experiment and hack.

  • Interactive Reports - SQL Source Question

    Background
    Apex 3.1 is installed on Oracle 10g instance on local machine but all data is stored on a remote machine on Oracle 9 & 10 instances.
    This data is also used by another piece of software, which directly manipulates the data.
    The Apex Application that I am developing is to be used as a Quick Find/KPI Reporting tool and is setup to utilise DBLinks and Synonyms.
    Within the remote data, we have a mapping table that contains user specific alias' for field names, which the users set using the other piece of software. There can be up to 5 mappings per table field each defined as LNG01, LNG02,etc.
    In order to provide the same field Alias' in the Apex application, I have created a PL/SQL function to return the field alias and return a string value containing the final SQL.
    Problem
    In standard reports, this would work correctly as you could return a SQL statement in a string and it handled it with no problems.
    However, due to Interactive Reports not supporting this, I have tried to find code to pass in the string SQL Statement to return a TABLE or PIPELINED datasource.
    The string SQL statement will vary for each time it is used so the string SQL statement is effectively built as dynamic SQL
    This causes as problem as I will never be able to define the ROWTYPE for a type TABLE variable as the field names will not be constant.
    Can you tell me if there is any way to create a SQL source that could be used for the Interactive Report based on dynamic SQL?
    Alternatively, if you can provide any alternatives to finding a solution I would be most grateful.
    Apologies if this question has been posted before.
    Thanks in advance.
    Stuart

    Stuart,
    You could:
    1) Create page items, one for each dynamic column header (e.g. P1_OBJECT_NAME_HEADER, etc).
    2) Create a page process, to run when the page is loaded, that populates each item with the appropriate text. This can pull the column header text from your remote source.
    3) Use a static query as your interactive report source:
        select objname,
               objuniqueid,
               objtypecode,
               objsitearea,
               objdesc,
               objdesc2,
               objlocationid,
               objcommission
          from cdoweb_om4) Edit the interactive report attributes -- use APEX substitution string syntax to reference the item values (e.g. "&P1_OBJECT_NAME_HEADER." without the quotes) instead of static column headers.
    For more information on using substitution strings:

  • Newbie Table Data Source Question

    Hi,
    I have a question about table data sources. I can set them up OK but I can't find the answers I'm looking for in the documentation or online.
    With a table data source, the content column is the one that's indexed right? Are the attribute column sindexed as well? If the content column is null, will the attribute columns still be indexed?
    Thanks in advance
    Mark.

    The attribute column is indexed along with the content column. However, the attribute column will not be indexed if the content column is null. That is, empty document is not indexed.
    The workaround is to at least fill in a few space characters to the content column.

  • BI 7.0 Data Source Question

    I have requirement in Funct spec from Tables EKKO , EKPO  . The data sources 2lis_02_itm ,2lis_02_scl etc will have these tabels data . But in BI 7.0 there is a data source called 2LIS_06_Inv which provides data from all these data sources.i.e,
    The new DataStore object of Invoice Verification (0LIV_DS01) is supplied with data by the new DataSource 2LIS_06_INV, whereas previously the relevant invoice verification data was only supplied by the three DataSources of Purchasing 2LIS_02_HDR (purchasing data (header level)), 2LIS_02_ITM (purchasing data (item level)), and 2LIS_02_SCL (purchasing data (delivery schedule line level)).
    Iam already using this elis_06_inv in my other data model for another req. So my question here is instead of wasting time with creating this with 2lis_02_itm /hdr /scl Can I just use the new one that Iam already using for other req.
    Thanks

    Hi Harish,
    You can use the same datasource to load data into different infoproviders. Just create new transformation rules and DTP assigning source as your datasource, for the new infoprovider. In the infopackage, schedule the data transfer to PSA and then execute the DTP to load the data, for the required infoprovider.
    Hope this will help resolve your query.
    Regards

  • Capture Source question (Device)

    I’m using Pre 7 (Windows XP) and I am able to capture video from my Canon XHA1s, but have a question about how the camera shows up as a Capture Source. The camera shows up as: Microsoft AV/C Tape Submit 1. Is this the norm? I do see in the Pre 7 Help section that the Canon XHA1s is supported.  When I capture on my laptop (Vista) the camera shows as XHA1.

    The camcorder is supported and if you can capture I would not be concerned. By the way are you capturing in high definition or is the camcorder set to down-convert to DV-AVI?

  • Simple NTP source question

    We have had some issues with our network time, which I tracked down to a closed port on an external firewall. However, in tracking this down, a question came up. We have four sources in our NTP config, including the "undisciplined local clock." Since the local clock on a computer is never really accurate, I expect it to drift after a while. Do I really want that as one of my sources? Should I delete it? CAN I delete it?
    Phil

    It is probably worth noting that the local clock is forced to be stratum
    10, which means it is not likely to ever be used UNLESS nothing else can
    be used. Leaving it should not hurt and may keep ntp services from
    unnecessarily complaining when bigger problems are happening (like a lack
    of network connection to any other sources, which is something you'll
    hopefully notice since it probably means a cable fell out of your computer
    or your ISP's switch).
    Good luck.

  • Noob Flex Questions - Run Application

    Hi All
       I am trying to learn Flex 4 and having a question.
    When I download the sample files from Adobe website, I tried to open the files in Flex but it told me that I have to select
    New -> Flex Proejct -> Assign the file folder location to create a new Flex project. Then I created one with my own project name.
    Flex then created a new src folder with my new project name.mxml file. "THE FILE I WANT TO OPEN IS ON THEIR ORIGINAL FOLDER NAME." like
    Flex src or whatever the author created. I tried to run their mxml file, but the "Run Application" is grey out??!!. Why? I have to moved the mxml to my src folder? It seems dumb to me that I have to do this to open an existing project. Besides, if there is a subfolder with another subfolder under Flex src folder, when I moved them to my src folder, it created subfoldername.anothersubfoldername under my src (instead of subfolder/anothersubfolder that the original author created).  I know it might be a noob question, but what is going on here? I cant' even get the existing project running.........Thanks for any helps...

    Hi,
    Your question is a bit confusing but here is a fundimental principle in Eclipse.
    Every project has;
    MyProject
      - bin
      - src
        - MyApplication.mxml
      - html-template
      - libs
    The 'src' folder holds all runable/compilable code actionscript classes and mxml components/applications.
    The only thing Flash Builder will run is a mxml file that subclasses s:Application or mx:Application or any subclass of them.
    Flash Builder will not 'just' run an mxml file. So if you get application samples from Adobe, you need to have them in the src folder and there needs to be a little green arrow in the top left corner. This means it's a registered application that you can run. The little blue dot in the top right corner means it's the default application that will run when you hit ctr-F11 or F11 or Run..
    If you paste a file that IS an Application and cannot get it to run, you need to;
    - make sure it's in your src folder
    - right click an select Run As
    - select Web Application
    This will run the app baring no compiler errors. If the mxml file is not registered as an application, this action will also register it.
    Hope that helps,
    Mike

  • Noobie Finder question?

    Have searched without success in the forums.....How do you "move" a file or folder.
    I need to move my iphoto folder to the /user/shared directory so I can make all the photos available to all my mac users.
    I'm a noobie at Macs so forgive my ignorance. I only see a copy option?
    Thx for all help:P

    This is one of those seemingly simple questions... that isn't.
    Moving a folder in OS X is simple enough - you drag it from one place to another. You can move your iPhoto library to a different location quite simply like this.
    You can get iPhoto to find a library in a non-standard location (such as /Users/shared) by holding down the Option key while launching iPhoto.
    The problem comes with granting the sufficient permissions to let both users read and write to the shared library.
    In the older version of OS X it was fairly simple - Got Info on the library folder and changed permission (to give group Everyone read-write, if you were feeling a bit sloppy). With Leopard, Access Control Lists (ACLs) are also used for determining permissions and frankly, I'm not up to snuff on how these work with iPhoto. Perhaps someone with a bigger brain can help, or this may be useful:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050904072808460
    FWIW, Apple recommends avoiding permissions problems by moving the shared library to a shared disk ( which ignores permissions)
