Some questions on S60 features

I'm planning a Flash based project for the S60 platform. Since I haven't been able to test this myself yet I have the following questions:
- if a user is accessing a flash application in the S60's browser and a call comes in, what happens to the data connection of the browser? Does it stay alive? Is it limited? If so, how?
- the same as above, but for a standalone Flash application (outside browser)
Background: a user may want to watch a presentation (series of images) on the device while talking on the phone at the same time. Is that possible?
Regards,
Stefan

Ciao Stefan,
when you receive a phone call, any application is paused.
It does not matter if is Flash.
That's how the S60 platfrom works and I think other do the same.
A phone call has priority over anything you are doing on the phone.
For example if you have a data connection going on, and you receive a call, the connection is paused automatically and then restarded when the call is over.

1.     What database types/ sources can the BI pull from?OBIEE supports many popular databases out there including flat file, xml's as sources.
2.     Is the license portable from one server to another?No. As far as I know you have to buy the license based on number of servers you are doing the installation on.
3.     Are pages, graphs, reports, etc. 508 compliant?OBIEE is 508 compliant application.
4.     Is the license portable from one server to another?Refer to answer for Question # 2.
5.     Are pages, graphs, reports, etc. 508 compliant?Refer to answer to Question # 3.
6.     How large a dataset can the BI handle?Depends. You can do performance tuning both on BI server side as well as database to boost up the performance. Caching plays a major role here.
7.     How easily does the BI tool integrate new data to it's database?Not sure what you are asking here.
8.     What precautions do the BI use to back up data?OBIEE does not store any data. It only stores the metadata of the tables you are using.
9.     Level of Effort/ Steps involved to install, upgrade, or maintain BIPretty good documentation out there and many blog posts that should help you ease you through the installation process.
10.     Can the BI be used to create/moderate forums (wordpress or other)No. OBIEE is not a CMS.
11.     Can user comments be routed to different mailboxes based on predefined conditions (for example, url or user actions on the page)?Yes.
12.     Does dashboard support embedding flash?Yes.
13.     Are cross-tab capabilities supported in business view, dashboard, and ad hoc queries?Yes.
14.     What type of charts can be created with the BI?Many different kinds. Some of them are:
Bar
Line
Area
Pie
Line-Bar
Time Series Line
Pareto
Scatter
Bubble
Radar
15.     What is the level of effort/ steps involved to create new tools and widgets?Not sure what you are asking here.
16.     Is the BI compatible with Linux/Unix?Yep.
17.     Are end user analytics recorded? (Web trends records, query tracking, page usage, etc.)Yes. Usage tracking.
18.     How does the BI handle version control?There are good number of useful tools for version controlling in OBIEE.

Some questions on whitespace and &

Dear all,
I have some questions on whitespace and & that need you kind help:
1. Except /n /t /r and space, is there any characters that are whiteSpace characters?
2. When parsing XML document, when the ignorableWhitespace() method is called? Will it be called from characters() ?
e.g. Where the white space after <a> is called, and where is the white space between test1 and test 2 indied is called?
<a>
 test1 test2
</a> 3. When the & should be escaped in a well-formed (or validated) XML file by replacing &?
It should be excaped in any element content, such as test1 & test2 - except for <![CDATA[ section?
It should NOT always be used in attributes? e.g. <a b="test1 & test2"/> - has to do escaped by entity & - am I right?
Thanks!
Thanks


Thanks DrClap.
>
2. When parsing XML document, when the
ignorableWhitespace() method is called? Will it be
called from characters() ?It will be called when the document has a DTD and the
parser is a validating one that is actually
validating, when the parser sees whitespace that is
not part of a DTD element. It will not be called from
characters() because that is a method that you write.I wrote a contentHandler and using Xerces parser to parse an XML document. When I set validating feature to false, I found that for:
<a>
 test1 test2</a>The white space between <a> and (including newline) is actually called from characters(), not in ignorableWhitespace(). So does this mean that if validating - white space is always called from ignorableWhitespace(), and if not validating, if it is always called from characters()?
>
3. When the & should be escaped in a well-formed(or
validated) XML file by replacing &? The XML Recommendation says "The ampersand character
(&) and the left angle bracket (<) may appear
in their literal form only when used as markup
delimiters, or within a comment, a processing
instruction, or a CDATA section. If they are needed
elsewhere, they must be escaped using either numeric
character references or the strings "&" and
"<" respectively."So in this sense, both & in test1 & test2 and <a b="test1 & test2"/> is illegal unless replacing them by & - right? What does the markup delimiters mena in above XML Recommendation ? Example?
Thanks!

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*

Some questions on EJBs

hi, i am an intermediate javaee developer but i have some questions on EJBs. sometimes i wonder why do i want to use EJBs in an application. if possible please use some illustrations.
1) What problems do EJBs both session bean and message driven bean solve respectively. like what was the motivation behind creating ejbs.
for ex, someone complained to me once that an app his company wrote took time to load large sets of data, and he asked if he should use EJBs, and i am like, does an EJB load data faster? though i think i said it could help, not because i was sure, but because u know the "Biig EJB", it has to solve it.
2) why do people compare spring and ejbs, and sometimes prefer spring over ejbs.
3) in what situations could an EJB be neccessary/advantageous, and what are the disadvantages if any.
thanks.

For example, you get integrated JMS support through message driven beans, no extra work needed there. You get container managed transactions, which made my life a whole lot easier once I got over that phase of thinking the server is responsible for everything (it is not, you are still in the driver seat when it comes to transaction management). As part of that transaction management you get out of the box ORM support through the JPA specification. You can take advantage of the load balancing features of the server for heavy weight applications. etc. etc.
In essence you shouldn't think in terms of what EJB technology gives you; what does the entire JEE platform give you, of which EJB technology is only a component?

2) why do people compare spring and ejbs, and sometimes prefer spring over ejbs.A real world example: when putting together Ikea furniture you can usually get very far with only using those little tools they give you in the package. However, sometimes you are forced to use a screwdriver, a hammer or a drill. And sometimes you use a screwdriver to keep something in place while using the little Ikea tool to put in a screw. Combining the screwdriver and the Ikea tool usually stems from experience where using only one of them took so much longer and was so much more frustrating to get the things done.
Interesting how real world examples usually translate to software development as well. Why would you limit yourself to using only one tool when combining tools could give you more flexibility and could solve a problem easier because you use the strengths of both to compliment each other?
3) in what situations could an EJB be neccessary/advantageous, and what are the disadvantages if any.All technology exists because there was some need for it. Need rises from requirements, so this question is not answered right here and now - it should be asked on a per project basis. I have this project with these requirements, how could EJB technology help here? How could Spring help? How could Struts 2.0 help? etc. etc.

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 questions about Skype Manager and Skype Conne...

Hallo,
I found one of your post:
That, if I have some questions I may contact with Contact our solutions team
Sadly that link wont work...
I have few questions and also I contacted with Microsoft support, but sadly they wasn’t able to help me. Only what they suggests, that I may contact with Skype Team trough to Forum, or Facebook...
So, I choose first one and maybe you can help me, or redirect my question !?
About my questions:
As I understand Skype for business is just name what contain two free software, like Skype manager and Skype connect. Also those are free, without charge ?
Also I read that there are two different accounts, like Premium and regular one. Premium contains some benefit. So, If I use that Skype for business manager system to I may or can add some premium accounts for some my staff and leave others with regular account ? I don’t have that manager systems installed jet, but what I read, I understand that I maybe just split credit - or is there way how I may also share regular and premium conots ?
Also, Right now my customers have 25 workers, but what - if soon my another customer also want to use Skype Service, and he have 50 - 100 workers ? Will be there special price for different amount of users on one firm ?
And at last, firm who I represent right now are using Elion VoiP (Elion, is Estonian ISP) service, trough to xLite program.
Sadly that one wont work properly, it will hack, or you cant hear other people and so on. With, Skype everything works fine. So, if he will starting to use Skype manger and will make account for every workers (sips) can he bound those sips with same VoiP numbers what he will use right now with Elion ? Or if not, is there some way how to redirect those numbers (to lose those numbers, is sadly out of question) ?
I hope, you can help me guy´s.
Best regards
Rainer

Tere Rainer,
indeed we don't have the solutions team offer any longer. Let me try to answer some of your questions here.
Skype Manager and Skype Connect itself are free of charge. But obviously you can purchase and distribute paid products via Skype Manager.
Yes, you can freely distribute Premium subscription to Manager group members and leave others without. You can do the same with all kind of Skype products, e.g. Skype numbers, calling subscriptions etc.
There are no discounts with Skype Manager purchases. It's a tool to simplify administration.
Unfortunately you cannot transfer numbers to Skype connect. For more details on which features are supported and how they work please have a look here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10549/what-is-skype-connect-and-how-does-it-work
I hope my answers could help a bit already.

Some questions regarding x-fi pro 5.1

Hi guys, i have some questions that i cant seem to find answers to that i hope someone can help me with.
I recently bought an X-FI Pro 5.1 USB sound blaster.
I have it plugged into my computer, and i have an optical cable from its spdif output connected to my wireless surround headphones (sony ds6500). These headphones can accept up to 7.1 signals in dolby digital and DTS and they "emulate" a surround through its 2 speaker elements.
As a reference i can add that i have tried these plugged directly into my PS3 system and the 5.1 DD signal i get is really good! You can clearly hear what is behind and what is in front of you!
I have installed the latest drivers and all available software from creatives website.
1:
And when reading about this card i often see people refering to the diffrent modes available (entertainment, game and cinema). But nowhere in any software can i find any option to change my mode, which seems to be stuck in entertainment. Whats up with this?
2. I am getting a DD signal to the headphones, they indicate this so the system has the basics properly set up.
But the biggest gripe i cant figure out is why it send the same audio from the FRONT and REAR.
That is, i can hear no diffrence between the signal that is suppose to be the front speaker and the one that is suppose to be the rear speaker. What am i missing?
3. I have about .5 sec delay of the audio when playing a game for instance, can this be solved?
Please ask if you need any more info to help me solve this.
Thanks in advance

Okay, btw. you mixed point 1 with 2 i'll stay at original numbering
1. [2.]) Well, i must confess the manual from creative isn't working correct (while the ones for other creative card work, just checked), it just shows the menue but the browsing page shows an error (if the one that is packed with your software is working and you could upload it that would help a lot). So i just searched for modes and found one so i thought it would have them. But now i took a deeper look and there is just the Entertainment Mode in Creative Software Suite. Also the Quick Start Guide shows there is not much software available, so i guess this card simply doesn't have it.
2. [1.]) That should work either you can try 2/2.1 or Headphone (in X-FI Console and Windows Audio Console) as the Headphone is Stereo only with kind of virtual Surround like CMSS does. Btw. on your first post you wrote: kind of nice DD you hear. Thats wrong AFAIK. You hear Sonys Virtual Technology or maybe (as other Surround Headsets feature that) Dolby Headphone. Anyway it might be some of the creative options mix up with Sony way of surround sound. So did you try enable/deable CMSS (3D/Headphone/Virtual etc)? Else it just can be the configuration of speakers in Windows: Please note that the channel settings in Windows® Vista/7 can be set in Windows Audio Console, not in the X-Fi Audio Console. (Right click the speaker icon at the system tray, Select playback device, “Speakers”, Speaker Configures)
3. Concerning the Delay: Under 'Creative audio control panel,' be certain that 'high speed' (2.0) is checked, and not 'full speed' (1.1) . Else you might need to switch back to Vista or XP drivers that obveausly helped some people to solve the delay problem. Or you try newest PAX drivers eg. wait on Danial_K's new X-Fi Pack (what i believe will be best bet as you also get new functions). I know creative drivers are a bunch of ****** and if you compare to AuzenTech oder ASUS f.e. the hardware isn't better too. Never going to buy creative again.

Some questions about 1616, 100 and 101

Hello, I am looking for a phone, and I've reduced to these 3 models, since I want a phone that principally:
*The battery last much (1 week would be ok)
*Don't have Internet access
Ok, but there are some questions, very specific questions in fact, that I haven't resolved, and I was asking me if you coudl help me!
*I've read that Nokia 1616 has a "memo voice recorder" so you could set a record for the ringtone.
Although some people says thats not possible....its sure is possible?
* Can the Nokia 101 record a call? I guess the others can't because no microSD.
*And last, if its possible in any of these set up automatic change of profiles, based on time.
I mean just, for example: default tone -> General ---- But when is between 11 AM to 16 PM, switch to Silence.
I think those are 3 really useful "basic" features, but ironically any or very few "basic phones" incorporate them....
Also, if you think other model of phone that could do better for my expectatives (at the same range of price) is ok.
Thank you very much, and great forum!

Some info? XD

Some question About title importer plugin

We are developing a title importer plugin for CS6, and have some question, hope forums could help me. Thank you very much.
1) Is there API to get title clip's in, out point in timeline ?
in imImageRec data structures, these is a in/out point, but it is trim in/out point, is not timeline in/out, how to get these point ?
2) Because we are also developing a subtitle importer for CS6, when user want to record the subtitle timecode, we hope we could control timeline play/stop, and get the playing/stopped callback, in same time, we could get the current playing position. But, it seems that these is no way to do this. I want to known, is there any plan to support these features in future ? Or, is there some work around methods to get these ?

I really appreciate your reply, I will look for VideoSegmentSuite to get the in/out point.
Q: Why we need timeline in/out of title clip ?
A: Our titler could do animation, when user strench title clip in timeline, clip's length will be changed, we hope we could scale animiation to fit the new length. ( I means animation will be slower or faster with new length), in imImporterImageRec, there is a in/out point and postion, but, we found they are not correct in sometimes, and SDK help PDF tell me there is a API bug in it, is it fixed or not ?
In another, in ImportImage API, we use (Rec->pos + Rec->in) / Rec->sampleSize to get real frame number for out title clip rendering when our title is imNoDurationNoDefault, we test it, it seems that it is right. But if our title is imNoDurationStillDefault, then Rec->pos and Rec->in and Rec->out are all based 90000+, and Rec->out was not right in some times (when we strench clip's outpoint in timeline), it is a bug or we missed something ? In this situation, we have to use (Rec->pos - Rec->in) / Rec->sampleSize to get the rendering frame number, it seems that it is right too. But, we could not use Rec->out, because it was wrong in sometimes.
New questions:
1) When we dragdrop our title files to timeline directly from windows explorer, Premiere will call imGetInfo8 (in here, we will allocate a private data for this clip), imOpenFile8, and there is no chance to call imGetPrefs8, so, when we close Premiere, imCloseFile will not be called for this clip, memory leaks for our private data. If we drag the title files to Premiere Bin firstly, then Premiere will call imGetPrefs8, imGetInfo8, imOpenFile8, there is no problem, imCloseFile will be called when we release this title clip.
So, my conclusion is: Premiere must call imGetPrefs8, else imCloseFile will not be called, I think it was a bug, isnot it?
2) We have a title template library (they are all based template title file), and, we use OLE dragdrop (COleDataSource->DoDragDrop), when we drag-drop these files to Premiere Bin/Timeline/SourceMonitor/TargetMonitor, there is a lots of memory leaks in oledobj2.cpp (microsoft source code files for COleDataSource), we are sure our code is correct, because if we dragdrop to our windows or other NLE (for example, EDIUS), there is not any problem. So, I guess, because we use MFC, and Premiere did not support it fully? Do you have see this problem before ? Do you have another suggestion to do these drag-drops ?
3) About to get sequence start timecode, we see a thread in forum which said there is new sdk headers, use them, we could get it through PrSDKSequenceInfoSuite. But its downloading link is broken, so, how to get new SDK headers? could you give me a new link to download ?
BTW, we are useing CS6 SDK Release2 + CS6, and will upgrade to 6.03 to test.
Thank you very much. and Sorry for these lots of questions, I am new guy in Premiere plug-ins developing.

[Urgent] Some questions about Oracle Portal 10g - 11g upgrade

Dear friends,
We are under doing upgrading assessment of Oracle Portal from 10g to 11g. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?
2. Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?
3. How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?
4. Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?
Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?Instant Portal is not available anymore in Oracle Portal 11g. The Instant Portal page groups will be migrated to standard Portal page groups. Maintenance of the Instant Portal can be done with the standard Portal tools. The Instant Portal tools are not available anymore.
Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?Old 10g Page Groups are migrated to Portal 11g. They will still be available after the upgrade.
Export/Import through transports sets has always been limited to instances of the same version. It is not supported between versions as documented in the Administration Guide :
[11.2.1|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/portal.1111/e10239/cg_imex.htm#CCJBCCGD] System Requirements
Before exporting and importing content, ensure that your system meets the minimum system requirements, as described in this section.
Notes:
* Export and import functions only within the same release of Oracle Portal and the same patch release, for example, release 10.1.4 to release 10.1.4 or release 11.1.1 to release 11.1.1. You cannot export and import between two different releases, such as release 10.1.2 to release 10.1.4 or release 10.1.4 to release 11.1.1.
How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?Customized objects get migrated as well. Certain types (e.g. PL/SQL item types) need to be checked after upgrade as the behavior of the PL/SQL code may differ between database versions. This is particularly of concern when the 10.1.4.x Portal uses a 10.1 database. A database upgrade to either 10.2, 11.1 or 11.2 is necessary as Portal 11g is not supported with RDBMS 10.1.
Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?Never done this, but the Portal framework is able to consume JPDK providers which are running in older versions of the toolkit. If the providers are running in standalone OC4J containers, you would be able to upgrade the framework and keep the providers in their OC4J containers. This will allow you to focus on the framework first and worry about your providers later.
Thanks,
EJ

E61i - Some question.

Hi all.
I got some questions.
1. No "Activate in selected days" in the alarm ?.
2. No auto key lock ?.
3. No timer and stopwatch ?.
4. No "birthday" entry in the calender ?.
5. Can i set hotmail int the email settings ?.
All of those (except 5) i had in my old Nokia (6131), where did it all go ?.
I had to install "Handy tools" to get it all, weird.
Any build-in option i missed ?
Thank You.
Nokia: 5140 => 6131 => E61i => E90 => N95 8GB' => E71 => E75 => N900

All S60 miss this, but handy clock and autolock (free) solves this problem for you.
I for one need good calculator! Just cant find any for e61i...
Build in calc says it can't calculate some number (it's wont fit on screen !?!?). Big screen and no room for few numbers.

Streams some questions

We have close to 300 MV table refreshes working without issues.(unidirectional one to one setup (source -> destination) )
We are testing streams as an alternative for MVs for our setup. I have some questions.
1. How to resynch a table if the stream did not work ? Is drop and recreate the only option?
2. If only one queue is used and the streaming process halts for some reason , all the queued up DMLs wait.
Is setting up multiple queues a workaround on this issue?
This is a significant disadvantage of streams as compared to MVs.
3. How to find out and monitor LCR loss?

+1. How to resynch a table if the stream did not work ? Is drop and recreate the only option?+
The technique to resync depends a lot on the Presence of FK and the type of replication. For a unidirectional replication, you may :
a) Cut access to the source object (table lock )
b) get the source DB current SCN
c) insert or merge missing rows into target from source
d) set the table instantiation SCN on target to the SCN gotten at step 'b'
e) release and check.
I have presented a shell script helps achieve this, you may test and report. for the moment it works only for tables with PK Synching tables in mission critical 24x7 database in bi-directional streams
+2.If only one queue is used and the streaming process halts for some reason , all the queued up DMLs wait+
Streams is journalized, this is better than MV, as it guaranteed no loss of transactions (did you ever lost a snapshot log or got a tbs full with snapshot logs into it?). The drawback is that it will stop if there are missing journal entries. This is expected in any replication system which claims to maintain consistency. If you are not happy with this, then streams is not the tool you need. Having said that you may circumvent this last feature in apply.
+3.How to find out and monitor LCR loss+
LCR exists physically in queues and if it happens you lose the queues, unless snapshot logs, as long as you did not lost your data dictionary, then the counters into the data dict will allow streams to recreate lost LCR from the source archived logs and this process is automated. In other word, loss of LCR is not a Streams concern, it is more a feature in MV when you loose the snapshot logs, then you don't know what is lost. Even worse, you will quickly discover that streams never, ever forget anything, even if you truncated table queues, the LCR will be back and sometime (in dev), you will want to skip a bunch of transaction and this is not easy with streams which never let you pass anything.

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.

(normally I'd link to Wikipedia but I can't load right now)
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.
