Some questions on SmartDDE and Windows XP

I have three Brooks Emerson mass flow controllers, but I can't control them
using some Excel macros and the SmartDDE because Windows XP doesn't
recognize the controllers by the COM port.
How can I solve this problem?
I also need the help file that comes with SmartDDE (when I installed the
program no help file was created). Where can I find it?
Where can I find the document regarding the HART protocol-based commands,
Brooks part no. 541-C-053-AAA?
Thanks in advance.

Hi SmartDDE,
I am unfamiliar with the instruments you are attempting to communicate with, but I found a good post about it here:

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!

Some questions on versioning and synchronizing metadata

Hy all!
I am quite new to warehousing and Oracle Warehouse Builder, and so i would have some questions regarding on some common issues. I would appriciate if you guys would who have experience in this domain to share some good practice knowledge :)
I am using OWB 10.2
So first of all i would like to know if you have some proposal of the way of versioning control and synchronizing projects between team memebers when working on a bigger project, team memebers that don't work on the same repository (cause i saw that OWB has an integrated multiuser support for handeling object locks and user sessions).
I saw that a way of migrating data from one place to a nother is using the import/export options integrated in OWB. This creates mdl files wich are some kind of "dumps" of the metadata informations, but the thing with these mdl files wich i don't think is a good way to synchronize is that first of all the .mdx and .xml files contained in the .mdl (wich is kind of a zip) contains many informations in it (like creation date, some timestamps, etc) wich are always updated when exporting, and if synchronizing these files maybee using CVS, we always will get differences between the files alltough they would contain the same thing, only timestamps changed.
Then a nother issue with this, is that we could have 2 alternatives: dump the whole project, wich is odd to have to synchronize a single file between users, especialy on a big project, then the orher way would be doing for each object from the project (each mapping, each table, etc) an separate .mdl filem then to synchronize each file of each object, wich will be unefficient on reimporting each file in part.
So please if you can share the way you work on a big project with many implementers with OWB, i would really appriciate.
A nother thing i would like to know is: is there a way to generate from an existing project (like one created with OWB) the OMB commands dump (maybee in a tcl script)? Cause i saw that the way the exeprienced users implement warehousing is using TCL with OMB language. I downloaded the example from oracle for warehouse project, and i saw that is entirely made from tcl scripts (so no mdl file involved). And this i think would be nice, to have the OMB commands generated from an existing projects.
I see this OWB projects like a database wich can be built up from only OMB commands and OWB a graphical tool to do this (same as constructing a database only from DDL commands or using SQL developer to do this), this is why i am asking about a way of dumping the OMB commands for creating an OWB project.
Please give me some advices, and correct me if i sad some dumb things :D but i really am new to warehousing and i would really appriciate if you guys with experience could share some informations.
Thank you verry much!

Depends. Having everyone working on the same project certainly simplifies things a lot regarding merging and is generally my preference. But I also recognize that some projects are complex enough that people wind up stepping on each other's toes if this is the case. In those cases, though, I try to minimize the issue of merging changes by having common structural objects (code libraries, tables, views, etc) retained in a single, strictly controlled, central project schema and having the developer's personal work areas reference them by synonym, thus being unable to alter them to the detriment of others.
If they want to change a common object then need to drop their synonym and make a local copy which they can alter, and then there is a managed process by which these get merged back into the main project schema.
This way any changes MUST go through a central schema, we can put processes in place to notify all of the team of any impending changes, and can also script updates across the team.
Every hour a script runs automatically that checks for dropped synonyms and notifies the project leader. It especially checks for two developers who have built local copies of the same object and notifies each that they need to coordinate with each other as they are risking a conflict. When a structural change is submitted back to the central shared schema, it is added to a batch that is installed at end of business and a list of those impending changes is circulated to the team along with impact analysis for dependencies. The install script updates the main schema, then also drops the local copy of the object in the developer's schema who made the change and re-establishes the synonym there to get back to status quo for the change monitoring. Finally, it then updates itself in all of the developer areas via OMBPlus. So, each morning the developers return to an updated and synched environment as far as the underlying structure.
This takes care of merging structural issues, and the management of the team should minimize other metadata merging by managing the worklist of who is to be working on a given mapping or process flow at a given time. Anyone found to be doing extraneous changes to a mapping or process flow when it is not in their job queue without getting pre-approval will be spoken to VERY firmly as this is counter to policy. And yes, OWB objects such as mappings are then also coordinated to the central project via import/export. OMBplus scripts also propogate these changes daily across the team as well.
Yep, there is a whole lot of scripting involved to get set up.... but it saves a ton of time merging things and solvinv conflicts down the road.
Cheers,
Mike

Some question on pa and om

hi
some question
if employee work in us and then gone to uk
how u track
it
whcin infotype
and what is dotted reporting
in simple mantice
and how to assign diff number range in org mangemnt for job, postion and org unit like 200-300,100-200,400-500.
from
rajani

Hi Rajani,
To address dual reporting relationship ,OM has A/088 relationship,please check tcode -OOOT and select object type S-Positions and essential relationship.
OONR is tcode for number ranges -the first two letter in the subgroup denotes the plan version and the last two letter is the object type
for ex -01S-would denote plan version 01 and object type S-postion and whether the numbers are going to be asisgned internally by the system or externally by the user.
01$$ would denotes its application for all object types,should the $ be used .
select the subgroup and click on number range maintainance and you will be able to see the numbers assigned or edit them by clicking change interval button and you can assign the from and to number accordingly.The numbers gets assigned when the particular object is created.
ex-you assign the subgroup as $$S-which means its for all plan version and object type S
when you create an object type using PP01 for ex the numbers gets assigned for that object created.
Hope this helps.
Regards
KG

Some questions on RMAN and others

hi,
I have some doubts and need some clarifications to clear my doubts......thanks in advance
can data be copied from one db say A to another db say B, if A is running on Windows 32bit OS and db B is on Solaris 64bit
can I have a primary db on 10.2.0.4 and physical standby for this db on 11g ??
I know RMAN can exclude tablespace but can we exclude tables like in dataguard %table_name% ....I know we can't just wanted to confirm
Can I restore one specific tablespace from PROD to test ????
I have out of date TEST db and have added additional datafiles and PROD, how can I update TEST without recreating the entire db

can data be copied from one db say A to another db say B, if A is running on Windows 32bit OS and db B is on Solaris 64bit
Yes you can do it either through transportable tablespace or using exp/imp (expdp/impdp in 10g)
can I have a primary db on 10.2.0.4 and physical standby for this db on 11g ??
No. this is not possible
I know RMAN can exclude tablespace but can we exclude tables like in dataguard %table_name% ....I know we can't just wanted to confirm
didn't understand the question. please elabrote.
Can I restore one specific tablespace from PROD to test ????
You cannot restore but you can move using transportable tablespace feature.
I have out of date TEST db and have added additional datafiles and PROD, how can I update TEST without recreating the entire db
you can add those datafiles in TEST.

File Saving.. question about Mac and Windows..

Hi all!
Just a quick question, is there anything that needs to be considered between saving a file from a java application on either Mac or Windows? Or does java "do" the work and I don't have to worry?
So far I saved some text from using my application on a Mac but havent got to a PC yet, and would rather make the changes now..
Thanks

FYI, this is just on my iphone, not when I view through the web or on my iPad. This is how it looks on my iPhone though... 2 iCloud accounts? Please help.

Quick Question - Crystal 8 and Windows 7

Officially I know this is not supported but do we know that this will not work for Windows 7?
We have some old reports we would like to maintain for mulitple clients, Crystal 8 installs on the PC,
loads the reports but fails on verify with cannot load library "" error.
I will try some other things but if anyone has any comments on this, it would be appreciated.

It's likely access issues.
Turn DEP off completely. You can use Process Monitor and filter on crw32.exe and look for Access Denied errors. It may be that missing dependencies are not installed.
Good luck

New Mac Pro - some questions about setup and RAM

After debating between iMac and Mac Pro, I decided on a refurb SINGLE 2.8 quad-core Mac Pro.
Somewhere in these discussions (can't find it now) I thought I saw recommendations to zero out the hard drive and re-install the system when it arrives. Is this necessary?
Also, I plan to use the single processor savings to buy RAM. When I go to the Crucial site, they have a choice of RAM for 4-core or 8-core. Mine is only 4-core, but would I choose the 8-core option to get the correct RAM for 2008 models?
In general, when it comes to buying and installing RAM, should I follow the 8-core directions? Will having a single processor change anything to do with upgrades or expansion?
Thanks. Hope I didn't ask too much in one post.

Somewhere in these discussions (can't find it now) I thought I saw recommendations to zero out the hard drive and re-install the system when it arrives. Is this necessary?
No, that really isn't necessary. If you were prepping a new bare drive that had never been used or you were installing OS X on a drive that had once been used for Windows, then zeroing the drive is quite appropriate.
All the Mac Pros use the same type of RAM. The Late 2008 models use the faster PC2-6400 800 MHz RAM, but the other specs are the same - ECC, Fully buffered, heat sink. The RAM and installation is the same regardless of cores.
RAM should be installed minimally in matched pairs, optimally in matched quads. The following illustrations show how it should be installed:

Some Questions on Advanced Actions window

HI
I have a couple of questions on Advanced Actions (using the CP7 trail version)
1. What's the function of the "Continue" action? Exit's the advanced action and advances the Playhead?
2. What does this comment mean "Nested calls of advanced action is a nice enhancement."? Is the decision tabs at the top of an advanced action page?
3. What's the function of the "custom" option in the IF statement - "preform action if - custom", it doesn't seem to do anything for me?
4. Where can i get information about timeline / playhead interaction with advanced actions i.e. where the playhead goes to the start of the slide again. e.g. custom question slide - displaying button, checking answers, feedback - when all/most objects are at the start of the timeline. I'm looking more for playhead functionality infromation rather than how to set up this type of question.
Thanks
Donal.

Hi Lilybiri,
Thanks for your reply and the link to your blog.
Continue: Can you just explain yor statement "Continue can also be a choice in a conditional action, when one of the branching commands has nothing to do special but to advance.". When you say "branching command" i'm assuming you mean "IF ELSE statements" and "to advance" is that to the next decision if there is one? and if you didn't include "Continue" would it still advance?
Custom: I see what you mean the first is an AND statement and the rest are OR statements.
Nested advanced actions: I picked the term up from the Adobe web site comment by "Hari" on Shared Actions, who i took to be an Adobe person. Maybe i didn't understand the context.
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2013/07/shared-actions.html
On Demand: Is there an up to date link. I found this one but the latest recordings are May (advanced action - part 8), and there isn't much training after May so it may be while before your Shared Actions are uploaded.

Question about oradim and windows services

Hello.
I have a db instance on my W-XP Pro machine that was created with this command:
oradim -new -sid <my_sid> -startmode m -pfile <my_pfile>
Since the creation I only used to need to start the windows service in order to work with the db.
I decided to delete the instance.
oradim -delete -sid <my_sid>
Afterwards I recreated the instance:
oradim -new -sid <my_sid> -startmode m -pfile <my_pfile>
And now I have this strange situation:
First I need to start the windows service (although it does not startup the db) and then starting the db with sqlplus.
Would it be possible restoring to the initial situation?
Thanks in advance.

Did you tried changing the database startup as Auto
oradim -edit -sid <my_sid> -startmode auto -SRVCSTART
systemThanks.
Although the above solution is working ok, I am also trying your solution but it seems there must be a syntax error:
D:\>oradim -edit -sid <my_sid> -startmode auto -SRVCSTART system
DIM-00036: Ha introducido una opci¾n no vßlida para el comando -DELETE
D:\>oradim -edit -sid <my_sid> -startmode a -SRVCSTART system
DIM-00003: Falta un argumento para el parßmetro
(I am sorry but I do not understand all the oradim options).

Somes questions about WFQ and Per-Hop Behavior

Hi !
I'm currently self studding for my CCNP ONT certification Exam.
I read the official certification guide for this exam from Cisco Press. But, some point are still confuse for me :
1- Why WRED is most deploy on cores devices then all devices in Enterprise Network ? (The author saied :"Because WRED is usually applied to network core router....") And which implementation of congestion management system I should deploy on none core device, because thoses can also experience congestion in some point of the day and tail drop should be avoid also on thoses (distribution and access devices) devices also if I understand correctly ?
2- I understand WRED is an evolution of RED. Is still exist some reason to choose to use RED over WRED ? If WRED is available in device, is the RED is also available ? In my book in the example it say to activate WRED the command is RANDOM-DETECT, what about to activate RED ?
3- I'm confused about "class selector Per-Hop Behavior", if I'm understand correctly, We have 8 sub-classes "class selector Per-Hop Behavior" for each : Default Per-Hop Behavior, Assured Forwarding 1 to 4, and Expedited Forwarding, where the lowest value have higher probability to be drop. The class "class selector Per-Hop Behavior" work in the inverse of there parent where the highest value have higher probability to be drop.
in the exemple (copied from the book) how the preference of dropping is selected :
random-detect dscp-based
random-detect dscp af21 32 40 10
random-detect dscp af22 28 40 10
random-detect dscp af23 24 40 10
random-detect dscp cs2 22 40 10
I'm correctly understand how I should interpret the "random-detect dscp af" in comparaison of each other but, I don't understand where the I should place the "random-detect dscp cs2" with regard to the others.
Thanks a lot in advanced for your help !
Excuse my Engliash, but I'm a French people !

Hi,
The main difference betwwen PQ and LLQ is this.
PQ: Exclusively starves other traffic while serving packets in its queue. Infact PQ is so greedy, other traffic may never get serviced as long as there are packets in the PQ.
LLQ: It combines the bandwidth reservation of CBWFQ with PQ.
LLQ uses Policing to ensure that Bandwidth configured for PQ is not exceeded and when exceeded, drops the packets and then service the non-LLQ queues.
Hence LLQ ensures guranteed badnwidth only to the contracted amount.
Eg if a LLQ has 30kbps of bandwidht reserved. This can take a single G.729 call. If a 2nd call comes in, the policer will discard packets and both calls will sound bad. Hence its important to use CAC to limit the number of calls allowed to that configured for LLQ bandwidth, so the policer does not drop packets.
LLQ traffic uses the EF Diffserv PHB.
The EF PHB has 2 components.
1. Queueing to provide low delay, jitter or loss plus a guranteed bandwidth.
2. Policing to prevent EF traffic/LLQ traffic from starving other traffic of bandwidth.
So in summary, PQ will always treat PQ traffic firts and will starve other traffic of bandwidth
LLQ on the other hand will serve LLQ queues to the tune of bandwidth configured for them and then service other queues too.

[newbie question] some question about MBean and notification

Hi,
can i manage an existing java object with OpenMBean? if yes how to connect them ( for ModeMBean it's setManagedResource but for OpenMBean)?
How can i send a notification from a generated ModelMBean ?(should i change my java object to impement NotificationBroadcasterSupport ?)

Hi,
An OpenMBean is just an MBean that has a ModelMBeanInfo, and uses only simple types
as defined by javax.management.openmbean.
You can use OpenMBeans to manage your resource, but if you don't have MXBeans
then you will need to write your OpenMBean by hand. This is not very difficult but
is a bit tedious.
There should be a chapter on OpenMBeans in the JMX tutorial - have a look at it.
http://blogs.sun.com/jmxetc/entry/looking_for_jmx_overview_examples
To send a notification with a RequiredModelMBean just use its sendNotification() method.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/management/modelmbean/ModelMBeanNotificationBroadcaster.html#sendNotification(javax.management.Notification)
With a "generated ModelMBean" I don't know - I assume it depends on how and by what
it was generated and whether it is a subclass of javax.management.modelmbean.RequiredModelMBean.
You will need to look at the generated code to figure it out.
Hope this helps,

Some question about flex and facebook, and saving server work!

Hi guys im starting to develop facebook application and im not surre what is the better way to connect my app to facebook.
first option is to pull all the data from facebook through PHP and then send it to the app. or getting the data directly to my app through actionscript.
what is the better option? the first option takes more server work, is that something to consider or its irrelevant to small-medium apps?
another thing , does PHP integrets better whit facebok than actionscript? does the APIs of PHP and ActionScript are the same??
what would u say is better??
10x ahead, and sry if this is not the right forum!

Some question about windows 7 and mini laptop

hi
i glad that i found this forum, i have the mini HP laptop 110 and i have some question
(i have intel atom 1.66 , 2G memory and windows 7 starter)
1. if i'll instal the windows 7 pro - is my performance will be smaller ?
2. what is the most light anti-virus that recommended for this mini laptop ?
3. what is the most light browser that recommended for this mini laptop ?
thank's in advance

Windows 7 is Windows 7 as far as the resources it consumes. So feel free to upgrade to 7 Pro and your performance should not take a hit. For light antivirus I recommend Avira. It is what I have on my own netbook. Lastly a good light browser is Opera.
