Some questions on Zen Visio

Hi
I'm considering to buy Creative's Zen Vision:M. Before that however, I've some questions.
Power Adapter
. Does it come bundled with the power adapter? If not, how much does it cost. The website doesn't seem to state this.
Battery Life
2. It's rated to have a battery life of up to 4 hrs playtime (MP3, 28kbps, 4mins/ song)and up to 8 hrs playtime (WMA, 64kbps, 4mins/ song). Does it mean then that converting all my music to MP3 will be best? Since it allows me to play better quality music at a high bit rate and consumes less battery.
FM Recording
3. How can I use this player to record FM? Do I need an additional devices. Or can I use this player to record directly from the FM?
4. Also, can I pause the FM recording and voice recording and restart it again after a while?
5. Can I schedule the FM recorder to start recording at a scheduled time?
Video Watching
6. Can I fast forward or rewind my videos to a specific scene?
7. Lastly, is watching videos on the zen vision: m straining on the eyes? let's say if you watch it for or 2 hours.
Thanks.

Hi
My zen vision:m didnt come with a power adaptor but just look at the website when buying-they should say if it comes with one or not, also generally i found when buying mine that without it costs around ?60 and with ?90 that should give you an indication.
Cant help you with the battery life though except that i've never had a problem with mine (lasts a good few days anyway)
Fm recording (although i've only used it once) is great, you dont need any additional devices and i think it lasts a maximum of 0hours. I havent tried pausing recording but i think you can. I dont think you can schedule it (i may be wrong though)
Videos can be fast frwarded, you can set a playback speed and change the size to fit the screen which means you can watch a video comfortably on it. Although i havent tried watching a full length film on it i dont think it would hurt your eyes but like i say i havent tried!
hope that helped (at least a bit)

  • Some questions on Zen Tou

    Hi all! I will be getting a Zen Touch a few days from now but I have a few questions.
    .) Can I have the Zen hooked up to my PC via USB transfering music and have it plugged into a power outlet at the same time? The reason I ask this is because I have heard from people that transfering files tends to take a toll on the battery.
    2.) Also I read about after months of use it is best to use the Clean Up tool on the Zen's rescue mode, will this damage my collection at all?

    .) Yes. There is a seperate power cable and USB cable. Plugging it in to mains power is actually recommended while transferring files or music.
    2.) No, 'Clean up' will not damage your collection. Consider it the 'Scan disk' on your computer; it checks for errors and damaged files and fixes the problems.

  • Some questions about Zen Micro before to buy

    Hi all, i'm thinking to buy a Zen Micro mp3 player, so i'm searching for the Web reviews and news about the Micro to understand if it is good for me, because about 250 euro is an important money amuont to spend for me.
    And now i have 2 doubts:
    ) I have read that firmware "ZenMicro_PCFW_L4_2_00_2_MTP.exe" can freeze the Micro or to make Windows Xp does not recognise it. Is it real?
    2) Will Zen Micro support the "mp3 pro" format in future firmware updates? It think "mp3 pro" is fantastic and has much more audio quality than wma o normal mp3 in very less space on disk.
    Thanks to all people who will answer to me, excuse me for my imperfect english_
    archigius

    Archigius,
    I have installed the version 2 firmware on several players and have yet to have run into any problems. I know there are people who have experienced them, but I think that the probability of this is low. Here are some suggestions on making sure it will work:
    ) Disable your antivirus before running the update. This really applies to all dri've/firmware updates.
    2) Turn off all of your player related software.
    3) Make sure you have Windows Media Player 0 and SP or higher installed
    This is all you should have to do to make sure things go well.

  • Some problems with zen visio

    Hi. i had selected a picture for my vision's wallpaper bt i notice then when u navigate thru the menu, the words(as in the from the next page) will slide from left of the screen to the centre right? But my wallpaper seems to slide together with the words, as in like a new one shift from the left to cover the current one. Can i ask if your zen vision M is also like this?
    Also, i noticed that on my screen, there is a line of abt 0.5cm, like tiny water droplets inside the screen, which when u look at the screen from different angle, the colors there kinda become distorted. Shld i go change my player?Message Edited by nigel_3plus on 0-3-2006 0:54 AM

  • Few questions on zen mi

    so i got my micro ( 5bg) less than a week ago, i am pretty happy with the player itself. however i have some questions,and being that i'm not a computer genius, i was hoping u could answer with easy vocabulary so i could understand
    ) i have a pc with windowws 98SE, which is clearly stated usable with the micro on the box and website. so, i install everything, put a cd in, mediascource organizer comes up, i get info for the cd, and on the list of items to choose from all the way to the right of the two arrows, i click zen micro ( which was already plugged in with the included usb 2.0 and my computer has no problem recognizing the micro) and then i click the arrow pointing right to rip the cd to the micro ( i had already gone into settings and picked the copy format of mp3-sterio at 28 kbps). then an error message comes up saying that "this CDROM does not allow audio ripping, try the recording function." but the recording function records a song ( after playing through the whole thing ) but plays back absolutly nothing. so then i try my windows media player 9. For some reason when i go into settings, it lets me choose all the formats that wmp can play ( including mp3) but then when i go to choose the format to copy at, it only allows me to choose wma ( or wma at variable bit rate), so i choose wma at 28 kbps, and then when i go to copy a song from a cd ( i have to play the WHOLE song through) it copies it but plays nothing back. so i can't put music onto the micro from my home computer So then i go to my moms work computer ( also windows 98SE ) over the weekend, go through the same process om mediascource organizer, but get the same error saying "this CDROM does not support audio ripping", but my mom clearly says she's able to burn cds there for her work using <SPAN class=EmailStyle5><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN>Adaptec easy CD creator. so then i try her wmp and after somehow changing a setting to allow audio playback ( or something:smileyindifferent it allows me to copy a whole cd ( only at wma like my comp and only by listening to the WHOLE). does anyone know what's going on and if its right to get those errors even though i have 98SE. any help, explanations, or suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, with the the information that i gave on this computer, does it sound like ( if it does work at all) that the micro will run easy, and fast, and i'll be able to transfer music cds to it quickly and easily.

    Some very old cdrom does not support audio cd ripping maybe you have those. Anyway, since you are getting an new system already. I'm sure it will work fine in that system.

  • Some questions on the Sleek

    Hey there. I have some questions regarding the Zen Sleek, since I may get one to replace my Zen Xtra.
    First of all, how much does it cost to have the battery replaced? I've heard/read that you cannot do it yourself (which irks me to know end), but I haven't found anywhere what it would cost to have it sent in once the battery is dead.
    Second, does the unit scratch easily? I don't want to buy an ugly, bulky case for it (since that's all that seems to be out there for anything that's not a Micro), but if the Sleek scratches as easily as the iPod, I may be forced to.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    cera wrote:Thanks SSR, I'll have to look into the battery replacement program. I've read up on the CreativeCare protection plan, and it SEEMS that the battery would be covered under it. I'll have to e-mail or call and check.
    I know the battery is covered under warranty, but it certainly shouldn't die ordinarily during that period.
    I've left the screen protecting sheet on my Zen Xtra, and it's in great shape, so unless it becomes obnoxious, I think I'll end up leaving it on the Sleek as well. I may look into buying a case, or possibly just making my own.
    There are some threads on cases for the Sleek so it's worth searching back. Creative often fail to launch a case as an accessory, or certainly to launch one at the same time as the player is released. This is a great shame, aside from not bundling a good case with the player, as it keeps the player looking good and may well end up making it last longer.
    This is completely off topic, but I just realized that you wrote/host that excellent Donnie Darko FAQ. It helped me a lot when I first saw the movie and tried to figure it out.
    Glad it helped

  • 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.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2559
    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.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StandardRAIDlevels
    (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.

  • 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!

  • Some Questions on Adobe PDF Forms

    Hi,
    I have some questions on Adobe Forms development (especially Adobe Forms in ABAP)
    1)     In a form interface, in the Code Initialization can we use Object Oriented Syntaxes such as class method calls, etc?
    2)     Can we declare Global Data variables with reference to Class References / Interfaces
    3)     Can we use the latest ECC 6.0 enhancement framework to add code in the standard form interface to enhance / enrich some logic within the form? This is to avoid copying the form interface into a Z in order to enrich the form via coding?
    Please let me know if this is possible at all and how
    Will award points
    Thanking You in advance
    Regards,
    Aditya

    That is possible of course. You should use the PDFObject API for that requirements.
    1. define a xml schema with all data given by SAP system.
    2. create a form template which uses this schema as data connection
    3. implement a java application (i.e. J2EE application) which:
    - gets the data from SAP system and generates some pdf files (using PDFObject API)
    - reads pdf files back to xml and submits the data to a BAPI

  • Some questions on SAP DMS

    Hello
    some questions on SAP DMS:-
    - can versions of same document be shown graphically. ?
    - can links be created for documents. can we make sure that links are not broken when document is moved ?(links to document on 1st location shall not be broken)
    - is there a notification mechanism(user can recieve e-mail when document gets changed)
    - is there a review mechanism, before doc. is archived.(sort life cycle)
    Thanks

    Hi Shovon,
    1. can versions of same document be shown graphically?
    You can display all existing versions of a document info record by using the menu 'Extras' >> 'Versions'. Then you will see all existing document version for this specific document number. Further you will see which is the current version at the moment.
    2. can links be created for documents. can we make sure that links are not broken when document is moved ?(links to document on 1st location shall not be broken)
    I'm not quite sure what you mean by links to documents. If you mean linking document info records together, I can confirm that this works also in DMS. You can maintain the object DRAW for object links in the customizing and then you will be able to link one document info record to another. The data for all document info records is stored in table DRAW.
    If you are talking about originals which are linked to document info records, please note that if you check in an original the system creates a unique LOIO- and PHIO-ID which is stored in the Content Server and in the database tables DMS_DOC2LOIO and DMS_PHIO2FILE. But there are also different reports to migrate original data from one content Server to another (e.g. DMS_RELOCATE_CONTENT).
    3. Is there a notification mechanism(user can recieve e-mail when document gets changed)
    Yes you can activate an event type linkage for object
    DRAW     CHANGED     DOKST
    DRAW     CHANGED     DWNAM
    in transaction SWE2. Here you just have to set the flag for 'Type linkage' (linkage activated). Then everytime the document is changed a notification is sent to the entered USER of this document info records.
    4. Is there a review mechanism, before doc. is archived.(sort life cycle)
    Normally there is no special lifecycle. You can control this by maintaining a released status and if there are more versions always version with the release status is the current one. But there is no specific date when the document info record expires or something like that.
    Best regards,
    Christoph
    P.S.: Please reward points for useful information.

  • 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.

  • 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 <b> is called?
    <a>
       <b>test1 test2</b>
    </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 <b>test1 & test2< /b> - 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

    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>
       <b>test1 test2</b></a>The white space between <a> and <b> (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 <b>test1 & test2< /b> 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 filter

    Hi Experts,
    I have some questions on IP. I am comfortable working with BPS but I dont know how they work in IP.
    1) Suppose we take an example
    I have put filter on some char. say "Sales Region" from values A to D. and now I associate a planning function repost values (with filter) for only A "Sales Region" (So I keep only value A in fields for condition)
    So Question is will sales region B to D will be locked for write access for some other operation ??
    And in BPS there is no concept like locking on basis of filters put on Planning Level and Planning Package right ???
    Entire transactional cube is locked for any other user if some user is running a layout in a particular Planning Area even if filter conditions in Planning Level and Planning Package do not overlap in any other layout on same Info Area ?? m i correct ??
    Ask me if I am not clear in explaining.
    Good conceptual answers would be really appriciated.
    Thanks,
    Mihir

    Hi Mayank,
    Thank you for your answer. I tried and tested ur BPS answer regarding locking at planning package. It works well.Before I used to restrict at planning level.
    But once I restrict at package and hit "save all" as well as "save modal" and log off the system those filters get removed when I relogin and see the same package. Why is this so ???
    Would like to hear from you....
    Thank again,
    Mihir

  • Some questions regarding ESB system.

    Hi all,
    I've used my ESB system for a few months now, so I thought it would be interesting to look at what's going on in my database schema created by my esb system (oraesb). This led to some questions (and raising eyebrows), I hope some of you soa-experts might have an answer.
    * Is my system installed properly:
    I noticed that the oraesb schema created by running IRCA.zip installs only tables, views, topic queues and 1 procedure (create_queue). However, looking at the sql scripts in ${soaSuite_home}/integration/esb/sql/oracle there are far more stored procedures defined. Is it normal cq. okay that these objects are not installed or is my esb system faulty?
    * No constraints or indices:
    My system is yet very small, so it is still performing good/fast. I imagine that when the esb system is going further, performance and locking becomes an issue due to lack of indices on foreign key columns and primary/foreign constraints.
    * Only small part of schema used:
    When browsing through the tables of the oraesb user I notice that only a few tables are filled with data. For example all "Slide Tables" (this is the name given to these group tables in file ${soaSuite_home}/integration/esb/sql/oracle/wfeventc.sql) are empty. Is this normal? What kind of processes should enter data in these tables? What is the use of the "Slide tables"?
    * AQ-tables not being used:
    My esb system has five aq-queue tables (esb topics), but they are never used! I recall another thread on this forum about these queue tables growing enormous in size. I guess there must be a sort of switch somewhere to switch between jms-queue's and aq-queue's? Can anyone please explain how switch on the aq-queue's or point me to the proper documentation. I must have overlooked this in the documentation.
    Kind regards,
    Happy new year,
    H
