Subdivide varibile

Hi!!
I need subdivide a result of a variabile with top 5 in 5 variabiles,every values in a variabile, for then use them in the structure in another query.
Maybe the first variabile can't not be a replace path of a query type, but can anyone tell me how can i implemented a top N in a varibile customer exit..or some like this, but not "replace path of a query "???, because this kind of varibile can't be used in structure, neather can be used in a customer exit for assigned the result to other variabile...
It is complicated, i know......
thanks..

If I understand correctly that you want to make a layout of cards on a single page to be cut apart, and you want to use the entire page all the way to the edges, you will need a printer that can print borderless. So open a blank Layout page and set Borderless in Page Setup. Then go to the Document Inspector and set all margins to Zero and uncheck Headers and Footers. Next, View > Show Layout and then View > Show Rulers. You should now have a completely blank page.
Now move your pointer into the left side ruler, click, hold and drag into the page. You will see a blue line. This is an alignment guide and will not print. Drag it (and successive guides) to define the width of your cards. Now do the same in the top ruler and drag guides down to define the depth of your cards.
Now create your first card, using text boxes and graphics as desired. When complete, select all and group all the elements. Arrange > Group. Then copy and paste the card into the remaining spaces.
In the pertinent print menu adjust the borderless expansion to the minimum amount. Run a test print. You may have to make some minor adjustments because to print borderless your page will be expanded slightly. If you can’t print borderless, adjust your cards allowing for the minimum margin your printer requires.
A note about guides: If you have text present when you try to bring in a guide line, it won’t work when there is an active insertion point in the text. Click on a blank spot on the page first.
Hope this works for you.

How to subdivide 1 large TABLE based on the output of a VIEW

I am searching for a decent method / example code to subdivide a large table (into a global temp table (GTT) for further processing) based on a list of numeric/alphanumeric which is the resultset from a view.
I am groping with the following strategy in PL/SQL:
1 -- set up cursor, execute the view (so I have the list of identifiers)
2 -- create a second cursor (or loop?) which:
accepts each of the identifiers in turn
executes a query (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE?) on the larger table
INSERTs (or appends?) each resultset into the GTT
3 -- Then the GTT contains just the requires subset of the larger table for further processing and eventual import into iReport for reporting.
Can anyone point me to code that would "spoon feed" me on this? Or suggest the best / better way to go about it?
The scale of the issue here -- GTT is defined and ready to go, the larger table contains approx 40,000 rows and I need to extract a dozen subsets or so which add up to approx 1000 rows.
Thanks,
Rob

No - there is no code to point you to.
As many of the previous responses indicate part of the concern is that you seem to have already chosen and partially implemented a solution but the information you provided makes us question whether you have adequately analyzed and defined the actual problem and processing that needs to happen. Here's why I have questions about your approach
1. GTT - a red flag issue - these tables are generally not needed in Oracle. So when you, or anyone says they plan to use one it raises a red flag. People want to be sure you really need one rather than not using a table at all, or just using a regular table instead of a GTT.
2. Double nested CURSOR loops - a DOUBLE red flag issue - this is almost always SLOW-BY-SLOW (row-by-row) processing at its worst. It is seldom needed, doesn't perform well and won't scale. People are going to question this choice and rightfully so.
3. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE - a red flag issue or at least a yellow/warning flag. This is definitely a legitimate methodology when it is needed but may times developers resort to it when it isn't needed because it seems easier than doing the hard work of actually defining ALL of the requirements. It seems easier because it appears that it will allow and work for those 'unexpected' things that seem to come up in new development.
Unfortunately most of those unexpected things come up because the developer did not adequately define all of the requirements. The code may execute when those things arise but it likely won't do the right thing.
Seeing all three of those red flag issues in the same question is like waving a red flag at a charging bull. The responses you get are all likely to be of the 'DO NOT DO THAT' variety.
You are correct that a work table is appropriate when there is business logic to be applied to a set of data that cannot be applied using SQL alone. Use a regular table unless
1. you plan to have multiple sessions working with the table simutaneously,
2. each session needs to work with ONLY their own data in that table and not data from other sessions
3. the data does NOT need to be available after the session ends
4. you actually need a GTT to take advantage of the automatic data preservation (ON COMMIT PRESERVE/DELETE) functionality
Remember - when a session ends the data in the GTT is gone. That can makek it very difficult to troubleshoot data related problems since a different session can't see what data is in the table. Even if a GTT is needed for the final product it is very useful to use a regular table so that the data can be examined after test runs to help find and fix problems. Then after development is complete and initial testing is done a GTT would be substituted and final testing performed.
So the main remaining question is why you need to perform multiple dynamic queries to get the data populated into the work table? Especially why is a nested cursor loop needed? My suspicion is that you have the queries stored in a query table and one of your loops extracts the query and executes it dynamically.
How many queries are we talking about? Do these queries change from run to run? Please provide more detail of the process and an example query for the selection filtering as well as a typical dynamic query you plan to use.

Open New Window behaviour in page subdivided into frames

My home page is entirely subdivided into frames. In one of those frames are my buttons and each button opens a new window. Unfortunately, they open the window within the small button frame. I need the new window to opened independent of the frames; i.e., opened as large as I define it to be such that the new window spans the frames. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

It's good to hear from you again, Nancy. This
"frame" site was supposed to be a temporary fix between as site organized as
a table and the ultimate site entirely structured by CSS. I'll spend a little more time on this for pedagogic purpose and will now engage a javascript forum with this conundrum because I believe the only fix is an adjustment of the JS function called by the HTML.
Somehow, I'll try to divide the "power" points between you and Brad.

How can I subdivide within my iPhoto albums by date and topic?

How can I subdivide my photos within an iPhoto album by date/title/activity?
Thank you for assistance!

You can't "group photos within an album". You make an album for each grouping of photos.
So, you don't have an album with - say - all the photos from Summer 2011, and then try and subdivide that.
You have a folder called Summer 2011. Inside that an Album for your Vacation to the Beach. An Album for your friend's wedding, an Album for your child's birthday etc.

Sure you can
If you display your movies in a LIST VIEW - it is the left most tab from the 4
Right Click on the headers of any column
It will show you a list of any posible column you can display in iTunes
Pick the one most fitting
If you don't find one that fits, use the Grouping column and fill it in with whatever values you want to organize your movies by

Subdivide a page?

I would like to create a number of equal-sized small pages from one 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper. I therefore need to subdivide a page into 12 (3 columns, 4 rows) with no margins either on the edges of the page or the inside (gutters?).

Subdivide deployment tool window

Several divisions on campus draw from the pool of licenses in the device license deployment pool. Is there a way to have sub-divisions with in that pool? For instance, we would like to have two divisions under the license device deployment pool: (1)Academic Computing (2) User Services. The device names are displayed as IP addresses, when the Academic Computing group needs to deploy a new lab, they have to identify and separate out the licenses for that lab from devices used in departments.

Has it ever worked for you?
The most common reason for troubles like this, is due to an incorrect configuration.xml
Often, this can be due to smart-quotes (angled) instead of plain-quotes (straight) - this happens if you copy/paste from a webpage.
Here's a guide:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2013/06/19/using-the-office-deployment-tool.aspx
For the "download" phase, the configuration.xml doesn't need very much in it at all..
e.g.:
<Configuration>
   <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
     <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
   </Add>
</Configuration>
I'm using this configuration.xml, right now, and it's downloading fine.

Prevent creation of a PO to a non company code Vendor

Hi,
We have had a scenario where we have been ableo to create a purchase order to a vendor that doesnt exist in that company code. The purchase order will let you Goods receipt this also and will only cause a problem upon invoicing it.
Since a Purchase order is considered a legal document we believe we should be able to prevent PO being saved if the vendor used does not exist in the company code selected in the PO header data.
I can see why sap allows it as you put in the vendor before the company code is entered but can we prevent this being saved or a message coming up on the system when this combination is entered?
Thanks

Hi Tracey Sparry,
This can achieved as below.
An organizational unit in Logistics, subdividing an enterprise according to the requirements of Purchasing.
A purchasing organization procures materials and services, negotiates conditions of purchase with vendors, and is responsible for such transactions.
You specify the form of procurement by assigning purchasing organizations to company codes and plants.
Possible forms are:
Enterprise-wide: One purchasing organization procures for all the company codes of a client - that is, for all companies belonging to a corporate group
Company-specific: One purchasing organization procures for one company code
Plant-specific: One purchasing organization procures for one plant
In this way you can assig purchase orgnization to company code which is not necessary but in you case it is necessary so when you are creating vendor with purcahse org and company code it will establish link when you are creating purchase org and company code it will not not allow to proceed further it gives error that xxx vendor id not defined in company code and purchase org and stop further to save PO.

To RAID or not to RAID, that is the question

People often ask: Should I raid my disks?
The question is simple, unfortunately the answer is not. So here I'm going to give you another guide to help you decide when a raid array is advantageous and how to go about it. Notice that this guide also applies to SSD's, with the expection of the parts about mechanical failure.
What is a RAID?
RAID is the acronym for "Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks". The concept originated at the University of Berkely in 1987 and was intended to create large storage capacity with smaller disks without the need for very expensive and reliable disks, that were very expensive at that time, often a tenfold of smaller disks. Today prices of hard disks have fallen so much that it often is more attractive to buy a single 1 TB disk than two 500 GB disks. That is the reason that today RAID is often described as "Redundant Array of Independent Disks".
The idea behind RAID is to have a number of disks co-operate in such a way that it looks like one big disk. Note that 'Spanning' is not in any way comparable to RAID, it is just a way, like inverse partitioning, to extend the base partition to use multiple disks, without changing the method of reading and writing to that extended partition.
Why use a RAID?
Now with these lower disks prices today, why would a video editor consider a raid array? There are two reasons:
1. Redundancy (or security)
2. Performance
Notice that it can be a combination of both reasons, it is not an 'either/or' reason.
Does a video editor need RAID?
No, if the above two reasons, redundancy and performance are not relevant. Yes if either or both reasons are relevant.
Re 1. Redundancy
Every mechanical disk will eventually fail, sometimes on the first day of use, sometimes only after several years of usage. When that happens, all data on that disk are lost and the only solution is to get a new disk and recreate the data from a backup (if you have one) or through tedious and time-consuming work. If that does not bother you and you can spare the time to recreate the data that were lost, then redundancy is not an issue for you. Keep in mind that disk failures often occur at inconvenient moments, on a weekend when the shops are closed and you can't get a replacement disk, or when you have a tight deadline.
Re 2. Performance
Opponents of RAID will often say that any modern disk is fast enough for video editing and they are right, but only to a certain extent. As fill rates of disks go up, performance goes down, sometimes by 50%. As the number of disk activities on the disk go up , like accessing (reading or writing) pagefile, media cache, previews, media, project file, output file, performance goes down the drain. The more tracks you have in your project, the more strain is put on your disk. 10 tracks require 10 times the bandwidth of a single track. The more applications you have open, the more your pagefile is used. This is especially apparent on systems with limited memory.
The following chart shows how fill rates on a single disk will impact performance:
Remember that I said previously the idea behind RAID is to have a number of disks co-operate in such a way that it looks like one big disk. That means a RAID will not fill up as fast as a single disk and not experience the same performance degradation.
RAID basics
Now that we have established the reasons why people may consider RAID, let's have a look at some of the basics.
Single or Multiple?
There are three methods to configure a RAID array: mirroring, striping and parity check. These are called levels and levels are subdivided in single or multiple levels, depending on the method used. A single level RAID0 is striping only and a multiple level RAID15 is a combination of mirroring (1) and parity check (5). Multiple levels are designated by combining two single levels, like a multiple RAID10, which is a combination of single level RAID0 with a single level RAID1.
Hardware or Software?
The difference is quite simple: hardware RAID controllers have their own processor and usually their own cache. Software RAID controllers use the CPU and the RAM on the motherboard. Hardware controllers are faster but also more expensive. For RAID levels without parity check like Raid0, Raid1 and Raid10 software controllers are quite good with a fast PC.
The common Promise and Highpoint cards are all software controllers that (mis)use the CPU and RAM memory. Real hardware RAID controllers all use their own IOP (I/O Processor) and cache (ever wondered why these hardware controllers are expensive?).
There are two kinds of software RAID's. One is controlled by the BIOS/drivers (like Promise/Highpoint) and the other is solely OS dependent. The first kind can be booted from, the second one can only be accessed after the OS has started. In performance terms they do not differ significantly.
For the technically inclined: Cluster size, Block size and Chunk size
In short: Cluster size applies to the partition and Block or Stripe size applies to the array.
With a cluster size of 4 KB, data are distributed across the partition in 4 KB parts. Suppose you have a 10 KB file, three full clusters will be occupied: 4 KB - 4 KB - 2 KB. The remaining 2 KB is called slackspace and can not be used by other files. With a block size (stripe) of 64 KB, data are distributed across the array disks in 64 KB parts. Suppose you have a 200 KB file, the first part of 64 KB is located on disk A, the second 64 KB is located on disk B, the third 64 KB is located on disk C and the remaining 8 KB on disk D. Here there is no slackspace, because the block size is subdivided into clusters. When working with audio/video material a large block size is faster than smaller block size. Working with smaller files a smaller block size is preferred.
Sometimes you have an option to set 'Chunk size', depending on the controller. It is the minimal size of a data request from the controller to a disk in the array and only useful when striping is used. Suppose you have a block size of 16 KB and you want to read a 1 MB file. The controller needs to read 64 times a block of 16 KB. With a chunk size of 32 KB the first two blocks will be read from the first disk, the next two blocks from the next disk, and so on. If the chunk size is 128 KB. the first 8 blocks will be read from the first disk, the next 8 block from the second disk, etcetera. Smaller chunks are advisable with smaller filer, larger chunks are better for larger (audio/video) files.
RAID Levels
For a full explanation of various RAID levels, look here: http://www.acnc.com/04_01_00/html
What are the benefits of each RAID level for video editing and what are the risks and benefits of each level to help you achieve better redundancy and/or better performance? I will try to summarize them below.
RAID0
The Band AID of RAID. There is no redundancy! There is a risk of losing all data that is a multiplier of the number of disks in the array. A 2 disk array carries twice the risk over a single disk, a X disk array carries X times the risk of losing it all.
A RAID0 is perfectly OK for data that you will not worry about if you lose them. Like pagefile, media cache, previews or rendered files. It may be a hassle if you have media files on it, because it requires recapturing, but not the end-of-the-world. It will be disastrous for project files.
Performance wise a RAID0 is almost X times as fast as a single disk, X being the number of disks in the array.
RAID1
The RAID level for the paranoid. It gives no performance gain whatsoever. It gives you redundancy, at the cost of a disk. If you are meticulous about backups and make them all the time, RAID1 may be a better solution, because you can never forget to make a backup, you can restore instantly. Remember backups require a disk as well. This RAID1 level can only be advised for the C drive IMO if you do not have any trust in the reliability of modern-day disks. It is of no use for video editing.
RAID3
The RAID level for video editors. There is redundancy! There is only a small performance hit when rebuilding an array after a disk failure due to the dedicated parity disk. There is quite a perfomance gain achieveable, but the drawback is that it requires a hardware controller from Areca. You could do worse, but apart from it being the Rolls-Royce amongst the hardware controllers, it is expensive like the car.
Performance wise it will achieve around 85% (X-1) on reads and 60% (X-1) on writes over a single disk with X being the number of disks in the array. So with a 6 disk array in RAID3, you get around 0.85x (6-1) = 425% the performance of a single disk on reads and 300% on writes.
RAID5 & RAID6
The RAID level for non-video applications with distributed parity. This makes for a somewhat severe hit in performance in case of a disk failure. The double parity in RAID6 makes it ideal for NAS applications.
The performance gain is slightly lower than with a RAID3. RAID6 requires a dedicated hardware controller, RAID5 can be run on a software controller but the CPU overhead negates to a large extent the performance gain.
RAID10
The RAID level for paranoids in a hurry. It delivers the same redundancy as RAID 1, but since it is a multilevel RAID, combined with a RAID0, delivers twice the performance of a single disk at four times the cost, apart from the controller. The main advantage is that you can have two disk failures at the same time without losing data, but what are the chances of that happening?
RAID30, 50 & 60
Just striped arrays of RAID 3, 5 or 6 which doubles the speed while keeping redundancy at the same level.
EXTRAS
RAID level 0 is striping, RAID level 1 is mirroring and RAID levels 3, 5 & 6 are parity check methods. For parity check methods, dedicated controllers offer the possibility of defining a hot-spare disk. A hot-spare disk is an extra disk that does not belong to the array, but is instantly available to take over from a failed disk in the array. Suppose you have a 6 disk RAID3 array with a single hot-spare disk and assume one disk fails. What happens? The data on the failed disk can be reconstructed in the background, while you keep working with negligeable impact on performance, to the hot-spare. In mere minutes your system is back at the performance level you were before the disk failure. Sometime later you take out the failed drive, replace it for a new drive and define that as the new hot-spare.
As stated earlier, dedicated hardware controllers use their own IOP and their own cache instead of using the memory on the mobo. The larger the cache on the controller, the better the performance, but the main benefits of cache memory are when handling random R+W activities. For sequential activities, like with video editing it does not pay to use more than 2 GB of cache maximum.
REDUNDANCY(or security)
Not using RAID entails the risk of a drive failing and losing all data. The same applies to using RAID0 (or better said AID0), only multiplied by the number of disks in the array.
RAID1 or 10 overcomes that risk by offering a mirror, an instant backup in case of failure at high cost.
RAID3, 5 or 6 offers protection for disk failure by reconstructing the lost data in the background (1 disk for RAID3 & 5, 2 disks for RAID6) while continuing your work. This is even enhanced by the use of hot-spares (a double assurance).
PERFORMANCE
RAID0 offers the best performance increase over a single disk, followed by RAID3, then RAID5 amd finally RAID6. RAID1 does not offer any performance increase.
Hardware RAID controllers offer the best performance and the best options (like adjustable block/stripe size and hot-spares), but they are costly.
SUMMARY
If you only have 3 or 4 disks in total, forget about RAID. Set them up as individual disks, or the better alternative, get more disks for better redundancy and better performance. What does it cost today to buy an extra disk when compared to the downtime you have when a single disk fails?
If you have room for at least 4 or more disks, apart from the OS disk, consider a RAID3 if you have an Areca controller, otherwise consider a RAID5.
If you have even more disks, consider a multilevel array by striping a parity check array to form a RAID30, 50 or 60.
If you can afford the investment get an Areca controller with battery backup module (BBM) and 2 GB of cache. Avoid as much as possible the use of software raids, especially under Windows if you can.
RAID, if properly configured will give you added redundancy (or security) to protect you from disk failure while you can continue working and will give you increased performance.
Look carefully at this chart to see what a properly configured RAID can do to performance and compare it to the earlier single disk chart to see the performance difference, while taking into consideration that you can have one disks (in each array) fail at the same time without data loss:
Hope this helps in deciding whether RAID is worthwhile for you.
WARNING: If you have a power outage without a UPS, all bets are off.
A power outage can destroy the contents of all your disks if you don't have a proper UPS. A BBM may not be sufficient to help in that case.

Harm,
thanks for your comment.
Your understanding was absolutely right.
Sorry my mistake its QNAP 639 PRO, populated with 5 1TB, one is empty.
So for my understanding, in my configuration you suggest NOT to use RAID-0. Im not willing to have more drives in my workstation becouse if my projekts are finished, i archiv on QNAP or archiv on other external drive.
My only intention is to have as much speed and as much performance as possible during developing a projekt
BTW QNAP i also use as media-center in combination with Sony PS3 to run the encoded files.
For my final understanding:
