Hi Marilyn,
Thanks a lot for the reply, it's good to see that even the not-so-polite rant postings are taken serious and get attention. I think that most of us truly appreciate the platform SAP is providing, but we're a bit tired with some of the application features/limitations. So I hope nobody takes offense when we're venting a bit...
Waiting for more input here.
I neither understand the more input (for what and by whom) nor the here (this thread or this forum). The missing functionality for dealing with unanswered questions seems obvious enough. At least that should be one topic that everybody agrees on. I suspect that the same applies to the rather poor search capabilities. Though as we can see in the forums, lots of people apparently seem to prefer to quickly shoot some questions instead of wasting their time with any research...
Continue to convince us please.
Is that a polite way of saying keep on whining? If yes, then no problem, I think we all need to do that from time to time...
If the feedback from the community is truly important, I'd say that there should be a public system for posting bugs/feature requests on which people could vote. This should be prominently placed in the forums and would allow easier feedback. The voting feature could be used to possibly limit the bugs/requested features to look at (e.g. top ten list) and then be classified by SAP based on implementation effort (with the usual disclaimer that no feature might ever be implemented just because it's wanted). Needless to say that it should be easy to search for already existing requests, but in general I'd assume that fairly soon there would be more voting (on top requests) than posting new ones...
To channel requests and avoid too many silly postings in this bug/feature tool one could imagine using earned forum points possibly as a currency for putting a value to the requests (i.e. I could vote to say if feature A gets implemented I'd pay it with N forum points, which are deducted from my account once the feature is present). I'm not sure if that is a good idea, but at least it might ensure that people who truly care about the platform enter their comments. At least it seems that often systems, which implement some artificial monetary system and try to optimize on cost, yield very good results...
Cheers, harald

Need suggestions for concurrent reads while deleting all entities

Hello,
we need some suggestions for the following use case, as we cannot seem to find the correct transaction locking combination to meet our needs.
We are using BDB JE 4.1.10, and the entityStore is transactional. In a nutshell, BDB JE is used as a Cache for specific data that is pulled and updated regularly from a source Oracle DB. The application that holds BDB is a realtimel app, and response time is critical.
In order to avoid having to merge (Insert/update/delete) entities for some of the tables that are very static and small (a few hundred records that might change every day or so), we are trying to simply delete all records (with an EntityCursor loop, since there is no 'deleteAll' that we could find) and reinsert all data every 5 minutes, and then committing when the whole process is complete. This should always be very quick, but we are not immune to timeouts from the source Oracle DB, so the transaction can be long.
Ideally, while the delete/insert is happening, we want any concurrent read operations to return the old data (before the delete). We have made a test that locks the updater thread between the 'delete all' and 'update all' methods, so that the delete cursor is closed, but the Tx is not yet commited. We have tried the following for our reader thread:
1- If we get() a deleted entity with a LockMode.READ_UNCOMMITTED, we get a null entity back.
2- If we get() a deleted entity with LockMode.READ_COMMITTED, we get a LockTimeoutException.
We have also considered simply using truncate on the EntityStore, but this requires closing and reopening the DB, so this would not work for our need to always return a value, instantly.
Any ideas, suggestions on how we could do this in a simple manner?
Thanks,
Max

Hello Max,
I understand the issue you're describing.
I think the best performing solution by far is to load the new data into new databases while servicing reads from the old databases. When the load is complete, reads can be diverted to the new databases, and the old databases can then be removed.
Unfortunately, this is easier to do with the base API than with the DPL, because the DPL is managing the underlying (base API level) databases for you.
However, even using the DPL, this approach could be very straightforward if you happen to be keeping this data set (the one that needs to be reloaded) in a separate EntityStore, or you can change your application to do so. If so, you can create a new (empty) EntityStore with a different name and use this store for loading the new data. When the load is complete, divert reads to the new EntityStore object and remove all databases for the old EntityStore.
If this is impractical, please explain, and I'll try to suggest a different solution. If you cannot use a separate EntityStore for this particular data set, then the solution may be more complex.

Setting parameters for Verizon mail to delete messages

I can no longer find how to adjust when my Verizon mail messages will be deleted from the inbox. I use Outlook as my mail and it used to be that messages would be deleted from the Verizon in box when they were deleted from my Outlook deleted items. Suggestions?

That is actually a setting within Outlook, not Verizon webmail. Which version of Outllook are you using?

Facebook for BB v1.9 deletes messages on Facebook

When I get notifications on my BB for messages on Facebook and I delete these in my folder on my Blackberry, they also get deleted from Facebook. How do I stop this from happening? Didn't have this problem with the older version, but I don't know how to deinstall v1.9 and go back to 1.8.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I did this and now I am getting no notifications or messages at all on my Blackberry from Facebook. On version 1.8 I got the notifications and messages and was able to delete them on the phone but they stayed on Facebook. On this version 1.9 if I delete it from my Blackberry it also deletes it from my Facebook page. How can I get the old version 1.8 back?
Thanks,
John

Suggestion for forum improvement

Recently, when I tried to execute some code at home which I had posted in this forum at work I noticed that it did not work and trying to find out, what happened I saw that two code lines like
field1||' < '||field2,
field3||', '||field4||'('||field5||')',were shortened to a single line
field1||' < ', '||field4||'('||field5||')',and some days later I had an example where several line of code disappeared after a < sign and I noticed that also other user of the forum posted code that was somehow "broken" because they used characters like < and >. I think this happens because the forum software tries to find html tags in the code, but in my opinion this it not always a good idea. If I copy and paste some code from my "real world" here, it is annoying to check, whether there occurs a problem because of the html interpretation of some characters in this code.
A possible solution for this could be, that there is a setting in the user profile like "I want to use html tags in my postings" and in my opinion this should be switched off as a default for new users of the forum. And if this setting is not checked any code in a posting will be shown exactly as it was pasted into the box.
What do you think about my idea?

I don't know what was disabled in the past but I still can use things like red here in the forum and that's what I mean.
And maybe you misunderstood my intention. I don't want more html as there is today. I want less, at least for unexperienced users. If users want they can switch it on immediately but than they should know what they do and be aware of the side effects.
I personally would prefer to keep html off totally. I don't need the possibility to use red code but I would like to copy and paste my SQL and PLS/SQL code without checking if there are any characters in my code which get interpreted as html code and destroy the functionality of the code.

Please bring back the option of being able to delete messages.

It baffles me that this option was taken away, but with the latest build of Spotify, which replaced the old inbox with the very unneeded message threads, there is no way to delete messages. I was told to submit this as an idea, but I'm shocked I even have to. Next thing, I'll be submitting an idea to allow me to shut Spotify down after I'm done using it.
EDIT: I'd also like to add, as some of you have, that it's somewhat disturbing to find very old messages that I "deleted" two years ago now appearing in my Messages box again. Which means Spotify held on to those private messages, even though I hit that Delete button. Not good.
EDIT #2: Hi, everyone. It's been A YEAR AND A HALF since I posted this, and as you can see, even after 19 pages of comments and almost 700 kudos, Spotify hasn't done anything about it besides call it a "good idea". Thanks, Spotify. Because of this issue, and because of Spotify's reluctance to listen to the community on an issue which I feel is way more important than the color of the background, I have barely touched Spotify in the past 6-7 months. There are other alternatives these days. While they may not be perfect, at least they seem to respect my privacy more than Spotify, which is extremely important to me. Keep the comments and kudos coming, friends. I appreciate all of you backing me on this. Hopefully, Spotify will fix this issue at some point in the next decade. Until then, I'll be enjoying other streaming services.

Seriously!?!? Who thought it would be a good idea for people to not be allowed to delete messages?
Which possible scenario would support the need for users to permanently keep messages to the point where you just disable the ability to delete them?
I am baffled and disappointed. This appears to be some sort of compulsory data hoarding by Spotify.
EDIT October 9th, 2014: after multiple updates to the Spotify client, they have still not reinstated the ability to delete messages.
Premium Subscription cancelled with immediate effect.
EDIT 2: To clarify my position here: I am an adult who ocassionally uses choice language when engaged in friendly messaging between friends. However my kids (5 and 8) and their friends also like to use Spotify to listen to stuff (mainly the Frozen soundtrack!) and I think this is something to be encouraged - music is a wonderful thing. The solution is fairly apparent: don't use bad language, and yes that is a solution going forward BUT I CAN'T DELETE THE EXISTING MESSAGES.

Delete messages stuck in status 12, Recorded for Outbound Processing

I am on a PI 7.10 SP8 system. I have 59,000 XML messages showing in status 12 ( Recorded for Outbound Processing) that I would like to just delete or cancel. These have accumulated over several days of testing interfaces. If I have to allow them to be processed, that would also work but is not needed. I have read about 6 different forum threads and tried several things but nothing has worked yet. 
The messages can not be cancelled from SXMB_MONI. 
The queues are no longer showing in SMQ2. 
I have tried restarting and re-registering the queues. 
I've tried RSXMB_RESTART_MESSAGES and RSXMB_CANCEL_MESSAGES. 
SWPR & SWPC show nothing to restart. 
Any ideas on something else to try?

Thanks for the instructions. I got as far as Disk Utility, then hit Verify but couldn't find Repair Disk, the Mail icon was there but couldn't click on it.
Someone else suggested I hit the control button then delete which did work. Perhaps it was a combination of closing out of Mail and hitting the Control button/delete that helped? Weird............
thanks again,

Re: error 4002 in itunes match do you have a solution?
Sep 23, 2012 10:08 AM (in response to matracaelcan)
Hi All,
I had this problem today myself, and was frustrated repeatedly by the '4002' error.
I have literally just fixed the issue by doing the following steps:
1: Go to the 'Store' tab and select 'Turn Off iTunes Match'
2: Return to the 'Store' tab and select 'Update Genius'
3: Wait for this to complete succesfully, the return to the 'Store' tab once more and select 'Turn On iTunes Match'.
4: iTunes Match will now go through the motions and should succeed!
I hope this helps

While you can redownload most past purchases without charge, you can't redownload movies without paying again. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Suggestion for new Forum - Software Quality Assurance & Testing

Hi - I'm active in ASUG and a SIG Chair for Software Quality Assurance SIG. I'm new to SDN and looked around a bit for where topics related to Software QA, Testing, Test tools & methodologies, etc. would be posted and discussed. I haven't found any relevant forums. A couple postings on SAP TAO (test tool) landed in the Solution Manager forum... looks like they were searching for a relevant home too.
We have good content and discussions on these topics on asug.com and I'd like to facilitate bringing some of these topics to the larger SDN community. I started a blog, we sponsor webinars, etc. What would you think of having a forum on SDN called Software Quality Assurance & Testing? Or are there other suggestions for where I would start discussing this? Maybe the forum's out there already but I just can't find it?
Thanks!

Count me in!
Currently the security aspects of good software development don't have a real home either, and are distributed over SCN in a rather thin and adhoc fasion by a few folks.
I am sure that such a forum would attract a lot of new attention to SCN on the customer side, as it is important for them.
It would also be irrefutable that the SCN Rules of Engagement are applied strictly to such a forum
Cheers and good idea!
Julius
