Standard Debug Questions

We have a flash application with video that was developed by
a third party vendor
http://www.lfg.com/LincolnPageServer?LFGPage=/lfg/ipc/index.html
(Click on tell me more)
We just plugged in the code on our site to open their
application. We do not have the source code to debug.
Management comes back to us with second hand reports that it
is not working properly. We know since there is streaming video
(vital stream), they can ask the user if they are using a dial-up
connection. It always works fine for us using our high-speed
connection.
I was wondering what other questions you ask when people tell
you a flash application is not working?
Or what other things we can do to try and consistently break
the application so we can ask the third party to fix it.
Thanks
Mathias

-- Are they seeing a specific error, such as a script timeout
error?
-- If they right click where the content should be, what's in
the 'About Flash Player' menu?
-- Use right-click to check what Flash Player version they're
using
-- After that you just have to try to get them to clearly
describe what they -see-. It's helpful if you have some text
description you can give them that describes what they should be
seeing, for comparison. For example, "if you look to the right of
the word "Go" you should see a video player. What do you see?"
You know what really helps for this kind of thing? Some kind
of screen sharing/web conferencing (we use Acrobat Connect
obviously). Although that doesn't really work if the problem was
specific to dial-up users.

SQL 2008 R2 standard reports - question about server dashboard and what it refers to as "adhoc" queries

So I have started looking at some of the standard reports available with SSMS and in particular, the "server dashboard". One thing that caught my attention were the charts that referred to "adhoc" queries. I wondered how
those were being defined, and as I expected, they are most likely those statements not in a stored procedure. This was answered in
this thread.
On a particular server Im interested in, this % value is well over 50% and the primary applications that interact with the databases on this system are Microsoft based products such as Dynamics and another commercial application which I know uses hundreds
of stored procedures. Now, Im sure there are some sql statements being used, possibly "dynamic" type sql, by these applications, but would the metrics really be skewed this far?
What these charts tell me, with the "adhoc" statement types pushing CPU and Disk I/O % this far, is that there is a BUNCH of these statements being run against the various databases. The disk I/O might be a bit off since I only recently
added dozens of missing indexes, but my question is this:
With the "adhoc" type statements taking up this much of the CPU and Disk resources, can we say that there are likely a lot of these going on ? I suppose one way to find out is to launch profiler and listen in while there is moderate
to heavy user activity.
Thoughts?

Hello,
Adhoc queries are DML statements with not parameterization. Sometimes users use this statements, and sometimes these statements come from applications.
Use Query #2 on the following link to identify those adhoc queries:
http://mssqlfun.com/2013/04/08/dmv-5-queries-runing-are-adhoc-or-proc-single-or-multi-use-sys-dm_exec_cached_plans/
Identify if those adhoc queries belong to specific users or applications.
One of the options you have to deal with is is the following configuration option:
sp_CONFIGURE 'show advanced options',1
RECONFIGURE
GO
sp_CONFIGURE ‘optimize for ad hoc workloads’,1
RECONFIGURE
GO
Hope this helps.

Classic/Standard iostream question ?

Hi,
I was experiencing a problem with one of our libraries lately due to the fact that a customer of ours was getting undefined symbols like the following when linking against our library and stlport4 library:
std::ostream &std::ostream::operator<<(short)
std::ostream &std::ostream::operator<<(int) etc
__rwstd::rwse_eofbit_set
[Hint: static member __rwstd::rwse_eofbit_set must be defined in the program] Now I believe the reason as to why this is happening is because our library is exposing symbols which it expects libCstd to resolve when linking but because stlport4 is being used; these symbols are not resolved.
Now we are supposed to be classic iostream compatible but I noticed by using the command dump -C library that there where many references to the std namespace (std::) in the symbol table outputted.
We build on solaris 2.7 using FORTE 60 and also on solaris 2.8 using FORTE_61 and our build line was pretty standard (i.e. we used CC -c and some includes and by default accepted compat=5 libs).
Now I have rebuilt our libraries so that all references to std:: in the symbol table are now gone. To do this i used the following C++ flags:
-compat=5 -library=iostream -library=Crun -library=no%CstdI have a few questions ?
Is the build/link flags above correct to be classic iostream compliant ?
What is sun's stand on mixing classic and standard iostreams in particular how does one use the STL library in classic mode ?
Finally - if i release the product library using classic iostream - can a customer safely link against our product library and the default compat=5 (i.e. libCstd, libCrun and STL etc) ?
Any help or pointers much appreciated ?
Cheers,
Clive

To use classic iostreams and to be sure you are not using libCstd, use the option
-library=iostream,no%Cstd
on every CC command line, compiling and linking.
The C++ Migration Guide says that you cannot mix classic iostreams and standard iostreams in the same program. Actually you can, and I'm having the document updated. But the requirements are fairly strict. But classic iostreams have been obsolete since 1998, and can be used only with extreme care in conjunciton with the standard library. I think you would be well advised not to use classic iostreams in modern C++ code.
In any event, here are the restrictions on mixing iostream versions:
1. Do not mix versions on the same stream (fstream, strstream, etc).
2. For the standard streams (cin, cout, cerr, clog), use one version consistently throughout the program. Since cin and cout are tied, reading cin using one version writing to cout using another version can cause strange program behavior.
3. Do not include classic iostream headers in a module where you include headers from the C++ Standard Library. The standard library depends for correct operation on using standard iostreams, and you could wind up trying to apply classic iostreams to standard library objects.
The likely scenario for mixing iostream versions arises from using libraries from different sources that you don't control.
Let's suppose the main program uses the standard library, and you want to link a library L that uses classic iostreams. The library should not use the standard streams (cin, cout, err, clog), should not use the C++ Standard Library, and it should communicate with the program via an interface that does not involve iostreams. That is, the main program should be able to use the library without including any classic iostream headers.
Build library L as a shared library with a dependency on ibiostream:
CC *.cc -c -Kpic -library=no%Cstd,iostream
CC -G -o L.so *.o -library=iostream,no%Cstd,Crun -lc
Build the main program without reference to libiostream, and link it to L.so.
If you use this kind of separation, you should not have any problems. If you have more mixing of streams or mixing of classic iostreams with the C++ standard library, you may run into problems. The issues are not details of the C++ implementation, but are fundamental to the design of iostreams and the C++ standard library.

Jdeveloper Debugging Questions.

Hi All
I have a customer who has logged a SR with the following questions, may I please request one of developers to review these questions
Problem-1
When running OA framework pages from JDeveloper, is there a way to get the personalizations on the pages availabe while debugging. The pages I am able to run do not have the personalizations so cannot accurately run the page.
For iProcurement,I downloaded the pages from $ICX_TOP/mds. However the customizations done on these pages at the site/responsibility level are stored under the customizations path so not sure how to get these reflected on the downloaded seeded framework page.
Problem-2
I have a Descriptive Flexfield added on the OA Framework page. This DFF is comprising of multiple segments. I need to know a way to get the number of the child segment. [Descflex1, Descflex2 etc] to control the behavior of individual segment. Example - We have a DFF on the PO Requisition Lines comprising of 7 segments. I want to know how to get the positions of individual 7 segments.
Cheers
Roy

Hi Roy,

You can get the number of child segments as :
OADescriptiveFlexBean Bean = (OADescriptiveFlexBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("testdff");
int number = Bean .getIndexedChildCount(null);

Lync 2013 Standard backup questions

Hello
I need to backup our Lync 2013 Standard Edition setup.
We have Only one server atm.
Looking at this post for inspiration:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2014/06/28/weekend-scripter-basic-lync-server-2013-backup-and-restore-part-1.aspx
As far as i can understand, i don't need to do SQL backup at all? Or am i missing the point?
Would I be able to restore my Lync from these 3 commands:
Export-CSConfiguratiom, Export-CSLisConfiguration and Export-CsUserData - Is that enough for a disasterrecovery?
And a bonus question:
When i run Export-CSLisConfiguration . The export only contains the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<LisDatabase xmlns="urn:schema:Microsoft.Rtc.Lis.Database.2008"/>
Is that not incomplete somehow?

That much would get you back up and running, yes. But it may not be a "full" restore.
For example, if you have persistent chat data, it wouldn't necessarily be included in there. If you have an archiving database where all IMs are sent, that information wouldn't be in the PowerShell exports above. If you don't have a copy of the
certificate and private key, that's lost.
Typically, I run my own custom version of Lasse's backup script https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Backup-script-for-Lync-2013-aacbb9b9
That pulls all the data, including your file stores, SQL exports, certificates, and everything into a single folder and zips it for you. If you back those zips up, you'll have most everything.
Restoring directly back into SQL isn't the recommended method, if you did need to get back up you'd want to follow standard restore procedures by using the supported PowerShell, but you'll have other avenues to restore if needed and a more complete copy
of your data.
The LIS export may be complete if you don't have any Lync locations defined. You'd typically enter these for 911 purposes.
Check out Lasse's Channel 9 video as well:

Novice SG500 Debugging question

Sorry for the basic question...I am in the process of setting up a pair of stacked SG500-28. These two units are stacked with a pair of copper 5Gb uplink cable (very short length) connecting both ports s3 and s4. My logs are filling up with errors on link up/down and STP port-status.
I having trouble understanding the encoding of the ports listed in the debug messages in log files. I am guessing that gi1/1/19 is port 19 on the unit 2 switch (see enclosed picture)?
I am running the current firmware (1.4.0.88) and the switch is in L2 mode at the moment.
Any help in decoding the log entries would be greatly appreciated.
Enclosed is the picture of the stack showing the few ports that are active and sample of the log.
Keith

Aleksandra
Thanks for the port decoding info!
What had me confused is that I have an active connection on unit 2 port 19 but not unit 1 port 19 (going by the port number labels silk-screened on the switch).
What is the significance (if any) of the middle number (1 in gi2/1/19)?
Unit 1 port 19 is a direct terminated but unconnected cable (at this time), no patch panel in the path. Cable to the switches is all Belden DataTwist 4800. The Unit 1 port 19 cable is about 30 feet long end to end and is a 48 cable bundle drop from the ceiling. Crosstalk and noise was really low on the cables, with plenty of margin when I tested them at install time (about 9 months ago).
I will get the tester out and measure that cable later today.
Thanks a lot for the help.

Acrobat 9 Standard Install Question

I just got Acrobat 9 Standard. I want to add it onto 6 computers in a network and 1 personal computer. Will I be able to do this or are the capabilities set up where you can only install it onto one computer?

You can install it on as many computers as you want, but only 2 can be activated at the same time, and there's a limit on the number of deactivations.

Adobe Acrobat X Standard Install Question

I purchased Adobe Acrobat X Standard with my computer from Dell. I have the serial number. How do I download the software??

If its a Dell machine you have bought and the software was bundled with it you can visit the site https://smartsource.dell.com and login.
Make sure you're running it from the Dell computer that had the license. It will install an IE activeX control to determine your system info, and then will take you to a downloads page where you can download all the software your computer was licensed for.
Hope this helps.

A few standards related questions

i've got three questions:
http://www.accent-mg.com/agape/test
1. what's the deal with the footer? it seems like my
"containerwide" div isn't meeting the "footer" div correctly. but i
don't see anything in the code that would allude to that...
2. how do i get my rule/ornament, the one just below the
maroon bar, (reference:
http://www.accent-mg.com/agape
) below the header .png? do i use z-index?
3. once i get this all set up in css, is using a cms like
textpattern or expression engine much easier? i tried to use it
with a website that utilized tables, with no success. am i going in
the right direction in regards to xhtml setup to optimize use with
these cmss?
thanks a lot.

Hi theOne
Thanks for the reply,
I'll take a look at the CSS but I'm not going to be modifying the wiki-server on Leopard as there seems to be little point with the next release isn't far off. I'll be putting it to use when I upgrade.
Contacts - it's something i've thought about. The place I used to work at had Netscape Directory Server and Imperia (CMS), we managed to add a nice search feature on the intranet there which was always used. It would be great if it was easy enough to add another search button with that accessing open directory or something similar. We'll always keep the FMPro database though as I use it in conjunction with a few other DB's, so it's not a big deal. Integrating FMPro would have been handy for accessing a few of our other databases in one single place.
You are right, you can't turn off editing on individual pages or the blog/wiki. For me it would be great, as it would allow the intranet to be more of a group experience. If the company was 10 or 20 people then it would be an easier decision to allow them all write access to it. We are just over 100 in London now and that makes it more likely someone will get too button happy with their mouse. Still we have an easy to use intranet out of this, which cost us nothing so I can't complain. If we outgrow the wiki server faster than Apple add features we're not too stuck and could move it to Wordpress or similar. I am looking forward to adding podcasting and the mailing list features in the next release.
Thanks again all
Beatle

Thanks Ganesh,
One of the link you provided had resolved my issue with debugging. All I did is remove the below two entries from portalapp.xml file
<property name="ComponentType" value="jspnative"/>
<property name="JSP" value="pagelet/InitialPage.jsp"/>
These 2 entries are created by default for JSPDynPage components by the wizard in NWDS SP9. I don't know if this is same in later releases.
I can debug now.
Thanks

Abap hr standard screen question

Hi,
I want to learn if it is possible to create a screen at which we can get datas as we get from standard screens at hr.
I mean can we get data directly as we get by using 'get pernr' without using where condition at a infotype which we created.
Edited by: Begum Al on Aug 11, 2008 3:50 PM

Yes, you just need to link your program to the logical database PNP. Look at [Reporting in Human Resource Management|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/HRREPORTING/HRREPORTING.pdf] and [Report Programming in HR|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/PAXX/PYINT_PROGRAMM.pdf] and [Programming Utilities for the Logical Databases PNP and PAP|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/PAXX/PYINT_RMAC.pdf], also do some [search at sdn.sap.com|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?query=hr+report&cat=sdn_all]

Debugging question (project with Ant)

Hi,
Could anyone tell me how to debug a project with Ant?
There is no main class to execute.
Only Ant script runs it as below.
Thanks in advance,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project basedir="." default="all" name="run1">
<target name="all">
<java classname="zeus.agents.ANServer" failonerror="true" fork="true">
<arg line="Nameserver2 -t 0.1 -f dns.db"/>
</java>
</target>
</project>

how simple was that... Thanks Mark.
Now I have another problem - how can I specify deployment targets when creating a new dataspace? I'm using a DspCommonCommands.py script, which targets deployments to any server and cluster in the specified domain:
targets = wlst.get('Targets')
wlst.invoke('createDataSpace',[dataspaceName,targets],['java.lang.String','java.util.Set'])
which results in 2 problems:
1. targeting projects to inappropriate servers (like AdminServer)
2. targeting project to cluster and all servers belonging to that cluster (which results in errors when trying to start corresponding request_handlers application)
I thought I can simply list the names of clusters I would like the project to be targeted to, but it results in:
javax.management.RuntimeOperationsException: RuntimeException occured trying to invoke operation createDataSpace
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch
I can't find the class with createDataSpace() method to check what it's all about and how should I format the target names.
