Some question on CORE BPEL ENGINE

Hello,
I've read Chapter 4 and now I've some question:
1-Clustering: What's you intend which expression "fail-over can be configured on the engine" and How? What Kind of clustering you realize (active-active, active-passive,...)?
2-I think that I don't exactly understand what you intend with "BPEL Compensating Transaction Model" could you give me more information about this?
thank you guys!
Andrea

1- I just completed a draft of a tech note on High Availability that I can share with you that explains the clustering model in detail. At a very high level, the BPEL Server is completely stateless and reliable, including a built-in recovery service that enables failover in case of failures. You don't need to cluster the app-server to be able to cluster BPEL servers (for either high availability or scalability).
2 - BPEL provides support for compensating transactions, which is an alternative transaction model when XA-style, ACID transactions can not be used (either due to the long-running nature of a "transaction" or the inclusion of services which don't support XA/JTA style transactions. We have code examples available for this and slides from our training course that discuss it.
Send me an email if you would like access to either of these documents. I'll also try to publish them to OTN in the next few days as tech notes, but in the meantime, I'm happy to share the information directly with any individuals who want it.

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
QUESTION 1:
I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
QUESTION 2:
I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
QUESTION 3:
Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
QUESTION 4:
Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
QUESTION 5:
If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

Well said.
Steps to set up RAID
Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
4. Name the RAID set.
5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
6. Click Create.
Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
7. Click Rebuild.

Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
/Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
Media files as needed.
Things that hurt performance:
Page outs
Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.

Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

Some questions for ressources provisionning.

Hello people.
I'm currently playing around with LDoms on a new brilliant shiny T5520 and I have some questions about.
My actual configuration is the following:
- 1 T5520 Server with 32 Gb RAM and a 8 cores 64 threads Niagara T2
- 4 SAS 143 Gb disks on controller 1.
The disk are mirrored using raidctl in two pairs of raid 1, c1t0d0 and c1t2d0.
The primary OS is installed on c1t0d0 and I plan to use ZFS for creating vdisks LDoms guests on c1t2d0.
I have access to a netapp but only with iscsi and nfs.
So, the questions:
- Does it make sense to use ZFS on hard mirrored disks ?
- Is it best to add the two disks non mirrored to my ZFS pool and backup snapshots on the netapp ?
- Does my LDoms needs more memory that I planned ? Each guest will have between 2 Gb and 4 Gb for the bigger. I will have, at the beginning 4 or 5 guests for testing / integration, LDAP / DNS services, Licences services, Web Portal, and, maybe, if I could convince my boss a little SPARC Gentoo Linux, just for fun :)
Thanks :)
PS: Forgive my poor English, I'm a French bas***d guy :)

You mean T5220, great machine anyway :)
- RAID hardware is supposed to be faster than ZFS, but ZFS offer more functionalities.
- you need both mirroring and backup, even if nice, ZFS snapshot cannot replace a backup software.
- Keep a free memory pool not allocated and ready to increase the RAM size of a LDOM (rebooting the LDOM will be necessary). And hum... use it to play with linux for sparcs :-)

Potential new T61 user with some questions about product/support/etc.

Hi all!
I've been using Dell Latitude's for last 7+ years and been happy with them thus far, as I was able to stay within the C-series thru 3 systems and reuse some components such as batteries, CD-ROM, etc. but now that I'd have to go to D-series, that gives me the choice of going to new vendor...and IBM/Lenovo was the only other choice due to my OS requirement: XP Pro!
So now I'm here asking some questions that I'm still having issues with:
(I'm comparing the T61 to Dell D530 and/or my C610)
1) Features that I've used on existing Dell that I don't see on T61 :
    a) Infared port --- I've used to transfer stuff from one sys to another
    b) S-Video out --- I've used to display on TV for some situations
    c) Serial port --- can't recall using it but with my luck, I'd need it sometime.
    d) Parallel port (C610) --- for my really old printer used on rare occasions
    e) Floppy drive --- yes, I still use it for some unusual situations
2) On Dell, I can put a 2nd battery or floppy drive in the media bay instead of CD/DVD...what about T61?
3) Support:
    a) Dell forums have 7+ yrs of history and are well used...this forum seems brand new...was there another one before it?
    b) My Dell's have lifetime tech support (ok, so sometimes understanding the folks from India can be an issue) but IBM seems to limit this to life of warranty.
4) Pricing: T61 would be seem to be, at minimum, about $150 more than similar Dell even with current "sales"...I'm having trouble justifying this...
5) Things that I see that T61 has that new Dell D530 doesn't:
   a) built-in mike --- my current Dell has it and I use it now and then so this is a plus!
   b) keyboard light --- nice feature, but couldn't I use a USB one instead if I really needed it?
   c) fingerprint reader --- never used one...how often do people use it?
   d) 2nd card slot for Express cards --- current Dell has two standard slots and I'm using both, though one is wi-fi which C610 didn't have built-in...and other is modem to replace failed built-in...D530 has only one slot, so having 2nd of any type is good.
   e) middle mouse button --- is that what I'm seeing? Or is it something else?
   f) recovery partition --- ok, nice but how much room does it take?
6) Things that D530 has that T61 doesn't:
   a) 4th USB --- I'm used to only 1 now so even 3 would be big step up...
   b) 15" standard screen --- T61 is only a 14.1" screen and that extra bit of size would likely help, but I'm limited on physical dimensions to 13.5" total width (unusual situation) so a 15.4" wide screen isn't possible...I'm looking at SXGA+ in either case to maximize usage.
   c) recovery CD is standard --- so I'm presuming I'd have to create my own here?
That, I think, about does it...so...any users willing to help me decide if a switch is good for me?
Thanks!!!
Update: It seems that phone tech support is only available for warranty period with IBM, whereas with Dell, I can still call for hardware tech help (to diagnose problem at least) for "lifetime" or well past paid period, as I've already done in past...comments?
Update #2: Changed the incorrect "R"s to "T"! Duh!
Message Edited by J_Hallgren on 12-28-2007 07:50 PM
A current Dell Latitute user who was looking to maybe switch...But didn't.

I finally made the switch to Lenovo and the Thinkpad line of notebooks and think this was the best move I have ever made in years! I've spent far too much money maintaining a separate notebook (Dell Latitude L400) several custom built desktops. This December, I sold my desktops, my laptops (I had 2 L400's), and my 20" Aquous LCD TV to finance my Thinkpad T61. It was well worth it! I will try to answer your questions in this checklist, which I found to be quite similar to my own .... frighteningly exactly like my own....:
Hardware Requirements
IR: This is pretty outdated but functional. I used to use a Palm with IR as well as an IR laser printer. I ditched both for a PDA phone with bluetooth. The laser printer is networked now
S-Video: You might be able to get away with a TV tuner cardbus or a expres card. There might also be external converters that convert from your VGA/DVI (DVI via port replicator) into any variety of video outputs.
Serial: My older Palm had a serial port for the docking station - bluetooth is a good replacement
Parallel port: I currently have a USB to parallel adapter in my bag just in case. These are cheap cables and work well.
Floppy: I keep a USB one of these just in case. I find that having fewer input devices on my laptop and leaving them external help keep the machine lighter for my mostly mobile usage (e.g., my L400 with no inputs at all except 1 USB port).
T61 Spare Battery: Uses ultrabay battery - I rarely use the DVDRW drive and leave the ultrabay battery in there while on the go. DVDRW drive stays in the bag until needed. I recommend you upgrade to the 9 cell battery with the advanced ultra bay battery, which will give u something like 9 to 12 hours of operating life. If you are not a fan of the battery pack sticking out like crazy, stick to the letter box format laptop (not widescreen), which will provide the minimum amount of battery pack stick-out with the 9 cell battery. The 6 cell will not stick out with the letterbox laptop but will stick out with the widescreen version.
Support Options: I rarely call support so I have no opinion here.
Pricing: Price was not really a concern for me. I purchased mine for the business look mainly, which Lenovo maintained well. I don't like the shiny/plastic/toy look of Dell and Apple computers these days. If anything, consider the premium an investment in the build quality of these machines (or a premium just for the good looks). I particularly like the roll cage as well as active protection system that stops the hard drive as soon as the system detects excessive motion.
Included Hardware Comparison:
I like the mic, use it often for Skype and the built in 1.3MP webcam as well.
Keyboard light.... kinda cute but not as functional because it simply is too small. It was a cute idea that could have been made better had Lenovo opted for a backlit keyboard instead. That would have been more functional and added to the "cool" factor.
With regards to the Express Card and PCMCIA card slot, I rarely use either because everything is built in. However, if you want that TV tuner, an express card or PCMCIA card slot is good. If you opt for the built in media reader, you will be unable to use the express card as the media reader takes up that slot (I might be wrong, but I think the card reader is large enough that it takes up both slots, so u can't add anything anyway - but you should call pre-sales to answer that question).
Middle mouse button: The three buttons in the middle are used for the trackpoint/joystick mouse controller. I think the middle button is configurable to do various things. I personally hate the joystick and can only use the touchpad. The lack of a touchpad was the only reason I did not stick to the smaller 12.1" X line of laptops, which was really more in tune with my size requirements (too used to using the L400 sized machine).
Recovery Partition: This is a cheap way for manufacturers to make it easy for people to recover their systems in case of crash - without the need for any documentation or disc media. However, it makes it hard for people like me who only use machines after a clean format and customized install of Windows. This partition is about 10GB and can be erased with special disk format or partition tools. Windows itself cannot read or delete this partition. With the minimum size of the hard drives available, this should not be an excessive space killer for most people. I personally need only 7GB total for OS and apps. The remaining data I work with is actually streamed from a 500GB gigabit NAS. I might switch to a 32GB solid state disk one of these days when their performance comes more in par or exceeds traditional drives.
Recovery CD: You can create your own from the recovery partition since Lenovo does not provide any.
4th USB: I only use 1 or 2 as well. 1 for an external micro mouse (I love my touchpad, but it's just hard to use with Photoshop or CAD apps) and a second for a USB memory key. My other devices i.e., scanner, external mouse, keyboard, are plugged in on my desktop through a USB hub that goes to a single port on my docking station. So yes, your docking station will probably remove the need for more than 2 ports. Although, I do find it odd there are only 3 ports... such an odd number.
Screen Size: I personally wish I could have gotten the X series of laptops but the 14.1 was the only other mobile solution. For the larger screen size, docking station to my 24" Dell 2405FP. The compact nature of the T series makes it pretty thin and compact though... it was not too much bigger than my L400 - at least, not uncomfortably bigger.
But yeah, I think if you make the switch, you'll be getting yourself a solid machine that will keep u going for years. The Latitude line of Dell's were really good, but overall, I feel that the nature of Dell's manufacturing process is making it too "cookie cutter" and reducing its overall quality level. Their earlier lines were awesome, like the D lines you mentioned. But unless you get the ATG line, you just won't get the same level of quality they used to offer (in addition, the ATG line is wickedly too expensive - I'd rather get a Durabook for military grade spec at a fraction of the price).
Anyway, have fun shopping! :-)
And moderators or employees of Lenovo, don't you guys get referral bonuses for giving your employee discount code to friends and family? *wink*

Differences between old JavaFX and the new one: some questions

Hi,
I'm coming back to my JavaFX studies after 2/3 months and I see that some things are different.. Now, I have some questions:
1) I see that javafx.ui was deprecated or rewritten in favor of javafx.ext.swing. Why there are a javafx.application.Frame and a javafx.ext.swing.SwingFrame? Which one should I use?
2) Neither javafx.application.Frame or SwingFrame has the "*undecorated*" attribute that javafx.ui.Frame has. I got this feature only reimplementing createWindow() function like this:
function createWindow(): java.awt.Window {
       //this is a trick, because Frame don't has a undecorated attribute.
       var f: java.awt.Window = super.createWindow();
       (f as javax.swing.JFrame).setUndecorated(true);
       return f;
}Should I report this as a bug/RFE in [http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/] ? Where should I report bugs and RFEs to JavaFX?
3) Why frame's opacity don't work in Linux? Is this a Linux restriction or only a "not yet implemented" feature?
My java -version:
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
4) Where is that cool feature that permits me to easily animate in JavaFX doing only x = [1..100] dur 1000? Now, I need to use this more advanced (and more complicated) Timeline object.
Timeline {
        keyFrames:Timeline [
                KeyFrame{time : 0s values: x => 0.0},
                KeyFrame{time : 2s values: x =< 180.0 tween Interpolator.LINEAR}
        ]//keyFrames
}//Timeline;Sorry for the amount of questions.
TIA,
Bruno E. Grossi

The new ones will be substantially faster than yours because it has 8-cores instead of four, a faster Frontside Bus, and faster RAM speed.
You could use the same RAM, but since the new ones can accommodate a faster RAM module you would cause the machine to run slower by using the slower RAM from your old machine.
You can use the same hard drives since both machines support SATA drives.
On the other hand you could just be happy with what you have! It's probably more than you need.

Some question about communicating the usb RAW device

I have some question about USB communication: I want to make my VI communicate
TI-DSP by USB, now, the driver of USB on DSP have done, and there are a test
program writen by VC and a driver fold(with a .inf and a .sys files), when I
install the driver and run the test program, the driver program on DSP run
regularly. And then I want to program a VI which have the same function as the
test program, so I unload the driver on PC firstly, then install the DSP in
NI_VISA according to "Using NI-VISA 3_0 to Control Your USB Device - Tutorial -
Instrument Drivers". When I sent the standard control request using the VISA test panel, the status below happened. I don't know what wrong with my step.

2、Someone told me it must be done by calling .dll fies in LV, but I want to know if LV can program the function directly without calling .dll file?
Thank for any reply~~!

This thread
contains already a related answer and explains what a sys driver is.
While you could theoretically use the Call Library Node to call all the
necessary Win32 API kernel functions to connect to a device driver,
this would be very cumbersome and not doable without a real good
understanding about C programming. Writing an interface DLL instead
won't need more C programming knowledge at all but will give you a
clean interface to that device driver which eventually could be used in
other programming environments as well.

Some question about 9iAs R1.2.2 & R2, need your help:

Some question about 9iAs R1.2.2 & R2, need your help:
Since 2000, we has used 9iAS Core (R1.2.2) to publish our website. The platform is Suns Solaris (SPARC). The database is Oracle 8i. But there are so many questions:
1. The Web Cache cant be installed well
2. The web pages use JSP to query database with SQL show errors when we refresh the page a few times. The error will disappear after restarting the 9iAS or refreshing the page again. On the other hand, the same pages dont show error on resin. The error is java.sql.SQLException : Closed Connection: next. I supposed that the connection of database has some hidden troubles, but I can find it, could you give me some advice.
Now I have installed 9iAS R2, But when I visited the manage page, I found that a password is needed to visit the web cache manage page. I dont think I have set the password, and then I cant control the web cache. I want to know is a default password occurred? If not, what is the password.

The default password for Web Cache is: administrator

Thinking about purchasing a Macbook, but I need some questions answered

Hey everybody,
I got a response to my Craigslist ad, so it's looking like selling my iMac G5 and buying a new Macbook might actually happen. My only problem is that I have some questions about what to do with my money. I'm not a power user, or someone who really plays games (other than my Nintendo emulators) so I already know that a Macbook is the right computer for me.
(1) I don't have external storage, so how should I go about transferring my stuff? Buying the Macbook before selling my iMac is not an option because I just don't have that much money. I've read that some people buy the Macbook and then upgrade the HD, using the 60 Gig that comes with it as their external storage by buying a $20 case for it. I have about 50 GB taken up on my iMac, so I'm going to probably need around 100 GB at least. I know upgrading the memory doesn't, but does upgrading the HD void the warranty? Any brand recommendations for HD's? Heat and noise are very important to me. (7200 RPM is out)
(2) I never really used the Superdrive on my iMac, but it was nice to know it was there. Is the performance difference from 1.83 to 2Ghz noticeable? I hear it's not, but I also read that under Rosetta it matters. Since Office isn't universal yet, I'd like to know. Can anyone verify this?
(3) I read on MacOSRumors that Leopard is probably going to do some nice little graphic effects when it's released, and that the next revision of the Macbook Core Duo will probably still have integrated graphics. Since I don't plan on doing this again for at least another year, do you think the Intel graphics will be enough to keep up for a little while?
(4) Anybody have some experience with selling a computer on Craigslist? I'm smart enough to request cash, local buyers only, and have them meet me at my house to try the computer out. Any advice on how to make sure this runs smoothly? I might end up leaving some things on the computer for the buyer. Anything that I should make sure to delete (i.e. preferences, passwords, etc.?) A checklist of what I should remember to do would really help.
I think that about covers all of it...Thanks in advance.

I sold my computer on Craigslist. No problems. I think it's only really dodgy if you are buying one from there - then you should be very careful!
I'm not sure exactly the best way to go about deleting your stuff, but you have the right idea: get rid of your preferences and passwords, and your internet history as well.
I'm not sure how to look at 'Keychain', but you might want to make sure that this is empty.
In terms of processor speed, I can't help you: I have just got the 2Ghz, but partly because not having a DVD burner isn't an option for me. As file sizes and your storage needs increase, your need for a DVD burner will probably increase as well.
Leopard is not far away now, and I would guess that Apple would make sure that their new OS will work adequately on their new computers. I would be surprised if there is much of a noticeable difference in anything but the most graphics heavy applications. Could be wrong about this, but I think that the basic GUI will perform well on any MacBook.
In terms of moving info from your iMac... the cheapest thing apart from buying the MacBook before you sell is borrowing a HD or iPod from a friend. 50G isn't THAT much info, you could always burn it to DVD-Rs in a pinch.

BPEL Engine XPATH (non?) compliance

Hi,
what is the level of compliance of BPEL Engine 10.1.3.4 (MLR#8) to XPATH 1.0 or XPATH 2.0?
Specifically, I am interested in boolean() function. XPATH 1.0 and XPATH 2.0 specifications both state the following:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#function-boolean
>
Function: boolean boolean(object)
The boolean function converts its argument to a boolean as follows:
* a number is true if and only if it is neither positive or negative zero nor NaN
* a node-set is true if and only if it is non-empty
* a string is true if and only if its length is non-zero
* an object of a type other than the four basic types is converted to a boolean in a way that is dependent on that type
>
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-boolean
>
15.1.1 fn:boolean
fn:boolean($arg as item()*) as xs:boolean
Summary: Computes the effective boolean value of the sequence $arg. See Section 2.4.3 Effective Boolean ValueXP
* If $arg is the empty sequence, fn:boolean returns false.
* If $arg is a sequence whose first item is a node, fn:boolean returns true.
* If $arg is a singleton value of type xs:boolean or a derived from xs:boolean, fn:boolean returns $arg.
* If $arg is a singleton value of type xs:string or a type derived from xs:string, xs:anyURI or a type derived from xs:anyURI or xs:untypedAtomic, fn:boolean returns false if the operand value has zero length; otherwise it returns true.
* If $arg is a singleton value of any numeric type or a type derived from a numeric type, fn:boolean returns false if the operand value is NaN or is numerically equal to zero; otherwise it returns true.
* In all other cases, fn:boolean raises a type error [err:FORG0006].

In bpel, if I have a switch with a case expression as boolean(bpws:getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/client:TestRequest/client:StringValue')), this returns false only if the StringValue element is missing in the inputVariable payload. If the StringValue element is present but is empty like <stringElement/>, then this expression returns true.
Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Shanmu.

Some Questions before I buy a Macbook

Hi all,
i have some questions - maybe some of you guys may help me.
here we go.
1. here in germany we have three options.
- Core Duo 1,83 GHz with combo drive, white (1079 Euro)
- Core Duo 2GHz with DVD Burner, white (1279 Euro)
- Core Duo 2GHz with 80GB Harddisk and DVD Burner, black (1479 Euro)
Is it worth to buy the middle option? 200 Euro extra for 0,17Ghz and a DVD Burner - sounds a bit expensive?!
2. Is the performance difference betweeen 1,83 Ghz and 2 ghz noticeable?
3. Why is a RAM upgrade to 1GB recommended? and is the performance difference betweeen 512MB and 1GB noticeable?
4. Is it possible to possible to deactivate "cleartype" (the display looks a bit blurred)
5. Is the DVD Burner ok? Does it burn any DVD? Are there some issues?
6. Is it (easy) possible to install +512MB (or 2x 512MB) RAM and a bigger Harddisk by myself? The guys in the shop said that I will loose guarantee if I will do this by myself. Harddisk costs 80GB (+40€), 100GB (+140€), 120GB (+230€) - Sounds more than expensive!!!!
Thanks in advance for your replies,
cheers,

2. Is the performance difference betweeen 1,83 Ghz

Barely, but if you're buying a new computer, it's always a good idea to get the fastest that's currently out.... simply because it won't be outdated as fast as if you get the lowest option.
3. Why is a RAM upgrade to 1GB recommended? and is
the performance difference betweeen 512MB and 1GB
noticeable?
It's huge. As much as a 200%-300% difference. MacOS and Windows XP both take quite a bit of ram. I'd go all the way and get 2GB. It's only $150 or so if you buy from Newegg. Get the Gstar RAM.... I've tested it for over 3 hours with diagnostic tools and it's just as good as the crucial memory, which I tested as well. No differences (they both run at the same Mhz with the same timings.) You won't regret it.
4. Is it possible to possible to deactivate
"cleartype" (the display looks a bit blurred)
Yup.
5. Is the DVD Burner ok? Does it burn any DVD? Are
there some issues?
There are some issues with some Superdrives in some Macbooks. Mostly the scratching thing. But, of course, Apple will replace your Superdrive if it has issues, so I wouldn't worry about it.
6. Is it (easy) possible to install +512MB (or 2x
512MB) RAM and a bigger Harddisk by myself? The guys
in the shop said that I will loose guarantee if I
will do this by myself. Harddisk costs 80GB (+40€),
100GB (+140€), 120GB (+230€) - Sounds more than

Both the hard drive and the RAM is official 'user serviceable" parts with official Apple Manuals documenting just how to install them. Therefore upgrading them yourself does NOT void your warrenty (unless, of course, you're extremely negligent in how you install the parts, and damage your computer from not following directions.) But as long as you follow directions (and they're incredibly easy), you're good to go.
Thanks in advance for your replies,
cheers,
mrcheekz
Hope this helps! Honestly, if you're worried about the $200, just get the 1.83 model and spend $150 to upgrade to 2GB of RAM (by far the biggest thing in performance.) But if you can afford it, the 2.0Ghz model with both the DVD burner and 20GB extra HD space will come in handy (but the extra RAM should be your priority.)

Learning the internals of BPEL engine

I want to understand how the bpel engine handles a request. More specifically, from the time it gets a request to the time it instantiate the correct bpel process, what are the steps involved. Where can I find some documentation on this. I looked at the BPEL dev guide (10.1.3.1) and admin guide...but this info does not seems to be there...any pointers

[Urgent] Some questions about OID/OSSO 10g - 11g upgrade

Dear all,
We are under doing upgrading assessment of OID/OSSO 10g to 11g for a customer. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
1.     Whether the ‘10g DIP profiles’ will be still available after the OID 11g upgrade? Currently there are some sync of AD<->OID and DB->OID.
2.     Whether the ‘WNA’ function will still work after the upgrade?
3.     Is there a big change of OID API from 10g to 11g? If so, I think a big effort maybe on application modification.
4.     I found that there is a OAM Basic version for OSSO 10g upgrade. So if this OAM Basic will migrate the OSSO configuration (like external application) automatically, or it must be re-configed after the upgrade?
5.     Currently customer config OID 10g as BPEL/ESB’s identity store. So does BPEL/ESB 10g is certificated with OID 11g also? I didn’t find the certification so far.
Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

Just installed Arch again on my laptop, have some questions

Hi there.
After a few months of being linux-less, i decided to install it again (I corrupted my partition last time and have been too lazy to fix it =P). I'm also currently using KDEmod, which is great.
However, I have some questions.
1) It doesn't seem that the sound settings are being saved when I log out of KDE. It's always at 100%, and I always have to turn it down.
2) I have this little cell-phone looking icon in the systray, and when i mouse over it it tell me:
Network Management is changing!
it is highly unstable and will crash your desktop. Until further notice, please use KDE 4 knetworkmanager instead
Well, I looked an I've already got knetworkmanager installed:
yaourt -Ss knetworkmanager
kdemod-core/kdemod-networkmanagement-knetworkmanager-kde4 1030904-1 [installed] (kdemod kdemod-complete kdemod-networkmanagement kdemod-uninstall)
KNetworkManager for KDE4
kdemod-core/kdemod-networkmanagement-knetworkmanager-kde4-debug 1030904-1 (kdemod-debug kdemod-networkmanagement-debug kdemod-uninstall)
KNetworkManager for KDE4 (Debugging Symbols)
aur/knetworkmanager 0.2.2-4 (71)
A NetworkManager front-end for kde3 and kde4, based in version 0.2.2 stable
aur/knetworkmanager-unstable 737532-1 (Out of Date) (6)
A NetworkManager front-end for KDE
I remember when i had Arch before that I used ArchAssistant to manage my wired/wireless connections. Is that still around? Can anyone recommend anything else, cause I also remember getting ArchAssistant to work was a hell of a project.
3) When I first logged in, the Akonadi Server Self-report popped up. I rememebr this from before, and could never get it to work (I really don't even know what Akonadi is, tbh). It says that the control and server process is not register to D-Bus. How can I fix this? Would I have to start and configure the MySQL daemon?
Thanks for any help!

For the first one, set the volume to your desired startup level, open a terminal window and run "sudo aslactl store"
Then in your startup daemons add @alsa. That will restore your volume settings on boot, not sure about just logging in and out of KDE though. (I don't run KDE)

Some questions about configuration in MAX.

Hello,everyone!
I have some questions about configuration in MAX(I am a jackaroo for motion control development),I hope I can get your help.
I use PCI-7344+UMI-7764+Servo amplifier+Servo motor,my MAX version is 4.2 and I use NI-Motion7.5
My question as following:
1,In Axis Configuration,for motor type,why I must select stepper but not servo?my motor is servo motor!If I select Servo,my motor can't run,I don't know why.
If I select stepper,though motor can work but I can't test encoder in MAX.
2,In Stepper settings,for stepper loop mode,why I must select open-loop but not close-loop?If I select close-loop,the servo motor doesn't work too.
3,If I want my two servo motors run at different velocity,How shoud I do?It seems I just can set the same velocity in MAX for my two servo motors.
My English is poor,Pls pardon me!I come from China.
Thank you for your help!

Hi,Jochen,
Thank you for your kindly help!
The manufacturer of the drive and motor that I am using now is Japan SANYO DENKI,drive type is RS1A01AA,motor type is R2AA06020FXP00.
And I use position control mode,thehe encoder's counts per revolution is 131072.I set the electronic gear ratio to 1:1 for drive.
Now,I can use Close-Loop to control the motor but still has some problems.When I configure it to run in closed loop mode, the motors behave strangely and never move to the target position.When I configure it to run in closed loop mode, the motors behave strangely and never move to the target position.The detail situation is as following
1,Motor can't run.
2, Or motor moves to a position, then moves in the same direction agian and eventually stops.
Except for the two points mentioned above,"Following Error" is occured frequently,I don't know why.
I am still not clear why I must set the motor type be stepper in MAX .
And I have another question:what the relationship between the steps and the counts?They have the proportion relations?I notice that there are a section said like this in help document: For proper closed-loop and p-command operation, steps per revolution/counts per revolution must be in the range of 1/32,767 < steps/counts < 32,767. An incorrect counts to steps ratio can result in failure to reach the target position and erroneous closed-loop stepper operation.
I am verry sorry I have too many questions!
I am very appreciate for your kingly help!Thanks again!
