Strange behaviour of Calendar Objects

Hello folks, you may not believe it but I had a really strange behaviour in my Calendar Objects:
I have 2 GregorianCalendar Objects, one instantiated by getInstance() for holding a reference for today and a second a user can pick which may or may not lie in the past. With some of my date fields it is allowed to have a past date, with others it is not, that is why I hold the reference for today.
Then, for getting to know if the picked date is in the past I set the hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds to 0 before comparing because I was just interested in the day not the time.
And now comes what I cannot comprehend nor what I was able to fix:
In the morning hours of the day I programmed this worked great. I gave it to our testers, and some days later I got it back on my desk, it would not work. I tested again in the morning, and it workd. I was confused, let it lay around a few days and tested again, this time in the afternoon. And it worked not ... now I was really confused. Just I had no time to fix it asap and put it aside for the next morning ... when it worked again ... ???
So I started deep debugging ... and since I already got an idea it could have something to do with the daytime I worked on it in the evening.
The debugging told me that the milliseconds of the 2 Calendar objects had exactly the same time and date, just different milliseconds in the evening and in the afternoon, but not in the morning. I cannot understand why, maybe one of you?
I solved it by kicking the millisecond compare and compared year, month and day, so now it works. But it still confuses me why the milliseconds could have differed at all and why not in the morning but just in the afternoon and evening (both Objects are of the same time zone, I checked this, too).
Rommie.

I set the hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds to 0...And you get different results in the morning and the afternoon? Okay, go to the API documentation and read about what the constant Calendar.HOUR means. Look just below it for another constant called Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY and consider whether you should be using that instead.

Strange behaviour of Removal of Alpha for Info object in Quality system

Strange behaviour of Removal of Alpha for Info object in Quality system as compared to Development system.
Hi,
The data for an info object Key in the DSO was 00000000000000000000000000123. I removed Alpha for the info object and data was corrected to 123 in the DSO in development system.
Now, when i transported the info object without alpha to quality and loaded data into DSO, the data is still the same with leading zeros.
I dont want to write routine to remove leading zeros, as I have values as 0. If i write routine, all zeros will be removed and this will be blank.
Both development and quality have same patches applied and are on same level.
Why is this strange behaviour in quality system...
Any inputs?? please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi,
Did you drop and reload the data after changing the conversion?

Strange behaviour of data element object

Dear Gurus,
I have incremented the field length of a z table's field from 5 (type DEC) to 8 by increasing the corresponding domain length . But the internal tables that refer to this field still refer to the old value 5, though the table is accepting values for this field with 8 length through 'Create Entries' in SE11.
The problem seems to be in the runtime object of the corresponding data element which shows
database length = 5
abap length = 5
BUT dictionary length = 8.
Could anyone pls help diagnose this strange behaviour as even if I create new domains with new data elements for this table field ,it gives the SAME RUNTIME OBJECT STATUS as mentioned above.
Rewards are awaiting the right answer.
Thanks in advance.
Shweta.

Hi,
For these kind of problems, you can use the Database utility tool (SE14), give the table name press enter, click Adjust and Activate Database table also select save data radiobutton. After this Re-Run the Program, it works fine, also cross-check in the Debugging screen.
Cheers...

Is there a way to add event details using a calendar object vs. those dumb field entry boxes?

I have switched from PC to Mac over a year and a half ago, and have been plagued with the "dumb" date entry boxes in iCal and now Reminders on the mac. For one, they don't show you the DAY OF WEEK for an event, it assumes you are parked on that day, but of course reality sets in and causes constant date changes for events. Picking a date in the future would be much more helpful if Apple followed some usability norms in iCal. For instance, if you are booking a flight online, those helpful little calendar objects pop up, and further, they are smart about "end dates and times" for events, knowing it can't be earlier than the start date. Apple iCal unfortunately always thinks you are creating an ALL DAY event, and when you change the start time, it creates the end time for the next day. Not very smart. Or is it me that is not very smart for constantly hawking every little data entry field for correctness. Why, oh why dear lord has Apple not given some usability attention to iCal on the mac??? At least match the interface of the iPhone with a nice little slot machine rolling control.
Is there an add in?
Is there hope that Apple will ever fix its lagging Mail and iCal apps on the Mac?
Please advise. Or just offer a kind word of consolation if there is no hope for a better interface.

In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
The code you posted is of little use since it uses custom classes so we can't see the behaviour of your code.
In general if you add a component to a Container at run time then you just use
container.revalidate()
This will invoke the LayoutManager and repaint the components in the container based on the new layout.

Report S_ALR_87013542 strange behaviour

Hi All,
Report S_ALR_87013542 - Actual/Comm/Total/Plan in COAr crcy - is showing up cross signs in some of the columns.When the cross sign (like any other column value) is clicked the line item detail are sown correctly.
Has anybody encountered this kind of issue before ?
I googled and searched various forums but all in vain.
Please provide inputs to correct this strange behaviour of Report S_ALR_87013542. Thanks!
Regards
Dev

Hello Dev,
Did you execute report RKACOR04 for the affected object number and checked if this still happens ?

Strange behaviour from new 2012R2 in old domain

Hi all,
At work (education level), I'm starting to take charge of windows admin, so beiing a noob admin I'm finding strange behaviours that I hope you can help me solve them all :-)
We've one (big) domain with about 5000 computers (workers and students all together), and around 50000 users (again, workers and students all together) setup like this:
DC-DOMAIN-1:
Windows Server 2008R2
Shares NETLOGON and SYSVOL
DC-DOMAIN-2:
Windows Server 2003 R2 x64
Shares CertEnroll, NETLOGON, SMSLOGON, SYSVOL
Checking RootDSE, I see 'domainControllerFunctionaly is Windows 2003' (DC-DOMAIN-2)
So, with this setup, I've noticed these strange behaviours, hope list isn't too big (guess there will be more behaviours but these seemed too odd):
1) On DC-DOMAIN-2, WinServer 2003 eventlog, inside 'Directory Service', I found this warning event ID 1083 (Source NTDS Replication):
Active Directory could not update the following object with changes received from the domain controller at the following network address because Active Directory was busy processing information.
Object:CN=<an user name>, CN=Users, DC=DOMAIN
Usually followed by an information event (eventid 1955) which says:
ctive Directory encountered a write conflict when applying replicated changes to the following object.
Object:
<SAME USER OBJECT THAN PREVIOUS EVENT ID>
Time in seconds:
0
Event log entries preceding this entry will indicate whether or not the update was accepted.
A write conflict can be caused by simultaneous changes to the same object or simultaneous changes to other objects that have attributes referencing this object. This commonly occurs when the object represents a large group with many members, and the functional level of the forest is set to Windows 2000. This conflict triggered additional retries of the update. If the system appears slow, it could be because replication of these changes is occurring.
User Action
Use smaller groups for this operation or raise the functional level to Windows Server 2003.
And having as result that user being blocked in domain.
2) I've added a new print server based on Windows Server 2012R2 (running inside an updated ESX 5.5 with VMXNET3 ethernet adapter as recommended by vmware), and seen in the event viewer these warnings/errors:
At System log:
Error Event ID 5783, Source NETLOGON:
The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name for the domain DOMAIN is not responsive. The current RPC call from Netlogon on \\PRINTSERVER to \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name has been cancelled.
I've seen Event ID 5783 with DC-DOMAIN-1 too....
Error Event ID 5719, Source NETLOGON:
This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain DOMAIN due to the following:
The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.
This may lead to authentication problems. Make sure that
this computer is connected to the network. If the problem persists, please contact your domain administrator.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
If this computer is a domain controller for the specified domain, it sets up the secure session to the primary domain controller emulator in the specified domain. Otherwise, this computer sets up the secure session to any domain controller in the specified domain.
At Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectinoManager/Admin found also this warning:
Warning Event ID 20499 Source TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager:
Remote Desktop Services has taken too long to load the user configuration from server \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name for user administrator
3) If I try Group Policy Modeling on DC-DOMAIN-1 (server 2008R2), everything works fine, no matter if I try it against DC-DOMAIN-1 or DC-DOMAIN-2, but if I try this from the Server 2012R2 (the one from point 2), I get this:
Simulation against DC-DOMAIN-2: Gets executed, but all GPO show as inaccessible, empty or disabled.
Simulation against DC-DOMAIN-1: Sometimes it gets executed as DC-DOMAIN-2, sometimes I get an error saying query can't be executed.
4) From server 2012R2, I usually manage printing GPO. If I click on the domain root (GPMC, forest, Domains, DOMAIN-NAME-ROOT) right pane, I get a pop up saying:
'A processing error ocurred collecting data using this base domain controller. Please change the base domain controller and try again'
After closing popup, right pane says something like 'DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name' is the baseline domain controller for this domain.
No infrastructure Status information exists for this domain.
Click the Detect Now button below to gather infrastructure status from all of the domain controllers in this domain.
Pressing 'Detect Now' does nothing, and trying to select New Baseline DC shows again same pop up than before.
5) Last, but not least, I've feeling that GPO takes too much to apply. I've found scenarios in which even after executing 'gpupdate /force' correctly on client computer either local or domain admin, I can't see the new changes (gpresult says it has been
updated though). But couldn't find anything on eventlog that informs about problems with GPOs...
For all these strange behaviours I've noticed in last month that I started checking things as sys admin, I believe domain is damaged, or something is wrong there (not just my new server 2012R2, even if it's running inside an ESX, blehh), so please, any hint
on what to check, what to change, what to fix, would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,
Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out all broken things reported by tests :( Guess Jesper's suggestion about adding a new 2008 DC to get rid of 2003 and start checking again after that may be best option.
I'll try to summarize list of things I believe are wrong:
running
DCDIAG /V /C /D /E /s:yourdcname > c:\dcdiag.log for every DC, shows different errors. They show things such as:
another domain running here (not administered by us, only relationship is that our users are shared with that domain, nothing else) appear when Printing out pDsInfo (as if they were DC of our domain too, but they do not even share RootDomain). Guess it
may be for a bug old sys admin had when clonning from his 2008R2 template, that forgot to change SID... I already noticed 1 year ago our print server shared SID with those DC, guess there may be more servers sharing SID too :-(
Within Starting test: Replications, I see few messages at Replication Latency Check, such as the one for CN=Schema, CN=Configuration, DC=<ourdomain>:
Latency information for 35 entries in the vector were ignored.
35 were retired Invocations. 0 were either: read-only replicas and are not verifiably latent, or dc's no longer replicating this nc. 0 had no latency information (Win2K DC)
On Services test, I see an
Invalid service type: RpcSs on DC-DOMAIN-3, current value
WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, expected value WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
On SystemLog, I see LOTS of warnings/errors such as:
A warning event occurred. EventID: 0x80000002
Time Generated: 07/28/2014 08:21:54
(Event String (event log = System) could not be retrieved, error
0x503)
An error event occurred. EventID: 0xC0000003
Time Generated: 07/28/2014 08:22:18
(Event String (event log = System) could not be retrieved, error
0x3afc)
Missing entries on DNS (we've a static DNS)
netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log Showed again DNS problems such as our primary DNS pointing to all DC, secondary
DNS pointing just to DC with FSMO roles,...
repadmin.exe /showrepl * /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt Gave no errors, now I must check in detail
if every replica is correct
And finally,
dnslint /ad /s "ip address of your dc" gave more DNS problems:
One or more DNS servers may not be authoritative for the domain
One or more DNS servers did not respond to UDP queries
One or more zone files may have expired
SOA record data was unavailable and/or missing on one or more DNS servers
Sumarizing, guess it will be better to fix DNS problems, promote new 2008R2 DC to get rid of 2003 one, promote domain to 2008 too, check again for messages and relationship with other domain, and then come back here for support if needed
EDIT: Almost forgot to talk about SYSVOL folder. As said before, there are 426 GPO folders inside Policies. Of them, 375 have an inetres.adm files in it (smallest one 1398 KB, almost all of them 2307 or 2707 kb)....

Strange behaviour when setting client_info and module in v$session

Hello,
I've tried to set the CLIENT_INFO field in V$SESSION using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO but found a strange behaviour.
Normally the forms modules seems to set the field MODULE in V$SESSION to its name. If I use DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO the CLIENT_INFO field is set correctly but the MODULE field is set to 'frmweb.exe' instead of the forms modules name.
I also tried to set the MODULE using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE but then strangely the MODULE and MODULE_HASH field of the original frmweb.exe (the main applet?) entry and the entry for the forms module were the same (set to the new module name). From now on every newly opened module had 'frmweb.exe' as the module entry until I closed the forms application.
Example:
Entries in V$SESSION:
-- After start of forms application there is only one entry for the process:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         frmweb.exe        854945150
-- When a new forms module is opened it looks like this:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         frmweb.exe        854945150
1596:7204         my_module         1929284615
-- When the modified forms module that sets the client_info/module is opened this happens:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         mod_module        3097977240
1596:7204         mod_module        3097977240             my client info
1596:7204         my_module         1929284615As one can see the entry of the forms application seems to be overriden (at least the MODULE and MODULE_HASH fields) but the CLIENT_INFO only changes for one of the entries?
The following code is responsible for the changes of CLIENT_INFO and MODULE:
    -- get client info
    client_info :=
        webutil_clientinfo.get_ip_address
        || ' (' ||
        webutil_clientinfo.get_user_name
        || ')'
    -- set client info
    DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO(client_info);
    -- get module (set action to '')
    DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE(name_in('system.current_form'),''); I really don't understand, why it does not work properly.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

This was an application module pooling, activation / passivation issue.

Strange behaviour, threading?

Hiya, i have written a program which is showing strange behaviour (only strange becuase i dont understand it). Effectivly its a counter of sorts, which displayed a number on a jpanel. Now when i set a loop running which looks something like this
for(int run = 0; run < 10000; run++){
jPanel.counterNo++;
jPanel.repaint();
}everything works fine and the screen repaints many times before its finished, but when this loop is initiated by a swing object, in this case a JButton, only the final value is displayed at the end of the loop, as if the jpanel is blocked from repainting until the loop is finished. Could anyone explain to me why this is happening?
Thanks
Dori

You need to call this in a separate (non UI) thread to see the updates hitting the UI
read the javadocs about Thread, Runnable, and SwingWorker

The strange behaviour of the notification

Coherence 3.3.1/389
     .Net API 3.3.1.2
     I have C++ GUI client with grid. It shows in the grid all updates from Coherence.
     I have also the 'server' application, which inserts objects into Coherence (1 - 2 per second).
     I use 'near-scheme' with front set to local-scheme and back set to remote-cache-scheme.
     I have 3 GUI clients connected to the Coherence and i have the strange behaviour of the clients. The insert comes to one of them three times instead of one. I've checked in the debugger and it's true. The insert really comes three times. But when i've restarted the client all became to work fine.
     It's bad that i can't repeat this situation, it happens from time to time.
     Does anybody get the same situation?
     I've masked it by the checking key and version of object, but it's really strangely.
     Thanks.

I think it's depended on the situation described in thread CacheEventFilter: Where does the filter part apply?
     Many thanks.

Strange behaviour when running parameterized test

Hello,
I am using Flex 4.5 and FlexUnit 4.1 inside of the Flashdevelop IDE and I am experiencing some very strange behaviour.
If I have 5 parameters to my test the test runs fine. When I add a sixth parameter of the type Array, I get the following error:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
Please see below for my example code.
The following parameterized test case runs without a problem:
package {
    import org.flexunit.runners.Parameterized;
    [RunWith('org.flexunit.runners.Parameterized')]
    public class ParameterizedTest {
        [Parameters]
        public static var testData:Array = [
            [1,1,new Array(),1,1]
        public function ParameterizedTest(
            param1:uint,
            param2:uint,
            param3:Array,
            param4:uint,
            param5:uint
        ):void {
        [Test]
        public function testOne():void {
            // Test to go here.
When I add an Array as the sixth parameter :
package {
    import org.flexunit.runners.Parameterized;
    [RunWith('org.flexunit.runners.Parameterized')]
    public class ParameterizedTest {
        [Parameters]
        public static var testData:Array = [
            [1,1,new Array(),1,1,new Array()]
        public function ParameterizedTest(
            param1:uint,
            param2:uint,
            param3:Array,
            param4:uint,
            param5:uint,
            param6:Array
        ):void {
        [Test]
        public function testOne():void {
            // Test to go here.
I get this error :

Can anyone help me?

Actually, I do see what's wrong.
When you call a method in the ActionScript universe, you can can usually do a function.apply() and pass it a variable number of args. Unfortunately, constructors are the one type of method where this doesn't work. You can't actually do an apply() so we have to fake it by having a map of static functions which each know how to apply a given number of arguments to the constructor. There is a check in the code that tests if the number of arguments you have exceeds what our static map knows how to apply.
It looks like that check should have thrown the error:
throw new ArgumentError("Sorry, we can't support constructors with more than " + argMap.length + " args out of the box... yes, its dumb, take a look at Constructor.as to modify on your own");
It didn't and I am guessing its because there is a border condition here. So, what happening is that we only support up to 5 arguments right now. That number is arbitrary. When it was written it just seemed like a reasonable number, however, this class was written before Parameterized testing was introduced.
Your three choices right now would be to use the TestNG style of Parameterized testing, which uses functions and not constructor args so it will not suffer this same fate, change the code and compile flexunit for yourself, or we could put a patched Constructor class in your project which fixes it. Longer term, I would like you to file a bug that we should increase the number to 10 or some other quasi-reasonable number. We will never be able to support an infinite number and we will always need to pick som arbitrary line in the sand. It just seems our line should be farther out.

Strange behaviour on a 3d layer

Hi!
I have been using AE for many years now but still seem to bump in to strange behaviour that I can't explain once in a while.
This time it's about a composition that has several 3d-layers (shape layers) but no camera. When I try to scale the 3d-layers to make them larger by dragging a corner with selection tool, it actually shrinks the layer. It feels like everything is working in the opposite way it should. I also have spread the layers in z-space and for some reason layers with a bigger z-value seem to be _closer_ to the screen when usually positive values on z-axis will move the object further away and negative values closer to the camera. Is this simply happening because I don't have a camera in the scene or what could be causing this confusion?

If you have offset the anchorpoint Z value to a negative number like -500, then you scale up the layer it will move away from the default camera. If the z offset is positive then the layer will move toward the camera as you scale the layer.
I think that's what you've seeing. Make sure that your anchor point Z value is 0 and normal behavior should return.

Strange behaviour with firefox

In all my flash movies I've a strange behaviour that happens
only whit Mozilla Firefox.
When I go over a clickable area it just doesn't work and it's
located lower than expected,
with Internet explorer and opera I don't have this problem.
The clickable areas are movieclips with on(release) script
set.
thanks

Are you using a percentage size of the flash object? E.g.
height=100%?
This is known to cause problems. You could omit those by
setting the height of the <body> tag to 100%, too (weird, I
know). Or delete the very first line in the html document, the one
that sets the doctype

Strange behaviour in "Do - Until" statement

Hi,
I'm having a strange behaviour in a script I'm creating. The purpose of the script is to update some files in some folders. In the case that more folders need to use the script, I'm importing the folders name and path from a CSV file (much easier to read
it from there instead of hardcoding the folders in the code). As you can see, I add a number at the beginning of the folder's name, and then I let them choose which folder number do they want to update.
# Import from CSV File
$name = @()
$path = @()
$bkpPath = @()
Import-Csv $AppsFile |
ForEach-Object {
$name += $_.Name
$path += $_.Path
$bkpPath += $_.bkpPath
Write-Host "Choose the folder to update:"
Write-Host ""
$count = 1
foreach ($n in $name) {
Write-Host $count " - " $n
$count += 1
Do {$opt = read-host -prompt "Enter the option number"}
Until ($opt -lt $count -AND $opt -gt 0)
The problem appears when I started debuging the script, and try to input strange characters. The idea of the "Do - Until" statement, is that the user enters a loop until they choose a correct option. It works ok when it doesn't let you input letters,
or numbers outside the range I'm using.
The strange behaviour appears when I enter for example "0." (The important part is the DOT after the zero). There, it sends me to the last option in my CSV file. If I put "<number>.", it reads it as if it were "<number>".
And if I input a number out of range plus a final dot, it breaks my script (instead of just keep looping as it's supposed to).
Does anyone even understand the issue? =P It's really strange, I don't know if there is another way to limit the input...
Thanks,
Regards

$opt is a string, and you're trying to compare it to numbers, which is probably going to give you headaches. I tend to write those types of loops like this:
$opt = $null
while ($true)
$string = read-host -prompt "Enter the option number"
if ([int]::TryParse($string, [ref]$opt) -and $opt -lt $count -and $opt -gt 0)
break
Simply because the validation can get kind of complex sometimes, and I think it's ugly to jam it in after an "until" statement, even though the end result is the same.

Strange behaviour of Mouse-Events and Range size

Hello,
i found a strange behaviour of the Paragraph-Ranges in Word and can't explain this myself.
I have a add-in with a Custom Task Pane "UserControl1" and a button "Button1":
dropbox.com/s/zz2m0out5rvds0m/word.jpg
This is the Code for the user control:
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
public UserControl1()
InitializeComponent();
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
showRanges();
private void button1_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
showRanges();
private void showRanges()
Debug.WriteLine("-------------------------------------");
foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Paragraph para in Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument.Paragraphs)
Debug.WriteLine(para.Range.Start.ToString() + " - " + para.Range.End.ToString() + " | " + para.Range.Text.ToString());
The mouse-enter and mouse-click events of the button, prints out the ranges of the current paragraphs. In this example it outputs:
0 - 15 | The first line
15 - 32 | And a second one
Thats fine!
And now the strange stuff starts: When i change something in the first line in the document like "The VERY first line" and use the button again, i got different range outputs for mouse-enter and mouse-click events.
mouse-enter event (wrong ranges):
-------------------------------------0 - 143 | The VERY first line
143 - 160 | And a second one
mouse-click event (correct ranges):
0 - 20 | The VERY first line
20 - 37 | And a second one
Why the hell I get wrong Ranges when I use the mouse-enter event??? (When I enter the button with mouse a second time, it shows the correct ranges again).

Hi Torben,
What is Word version?
According to my test in Word 2013, the code you provided works fine for me.
I changed the code as below:
private void showRanges(string eventname)
Debug.WriteLine(eventname + "-------------------------------------");
foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Paragraph para in Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument.Paragraphs)
Debug.WriteLine(para.Range.Start.ToString() + " - " + para.Range.End.ToString() + " | " + para.Range.Text.ToString());
private void button1_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
showRanges("Button MouseEnter");
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
showRanges("Button Click");
The document:
The output:
The result is same.
There might be something else at the end of the first line.
If you change current document to .zip and find document.xml, what does it look like?
Here is my document.xml:
