Summarising my 2 problems

Hi,
My 2 previous posts have got a bit muddled, so I'd like to start again, covering both issues and what I've tried...
I have CS3 Design Standard Suite, Educational version, running on OS X 10.5.5 on my MacBook Pro.
1 - I cannot update Acrobat from 8.0.0...I get an error that 'the patch has failed because the application has been modified since it was originally installed'. Actually it hasn't, and the repair installation or a re-installation made no difference.
2 - the Adobe PDF printer vanished from system prefs...I ran repair installation to replace it, but I cannot now print using the printer. Every document pauses the printer, then when I resume printing I get an error 'operation could not be completed, client-error-not-possible'
This is what I have tried...NONE of the below items has worked...
1 - repair installation
2 - re-install Acrobat
3 - uninstall and re-install the entire CS3 suite (using the Adobe uninstall utility)
4 - CS3 Clean Script - after using this, when I tried to re-install the suite the installer program thought Acrobat was already installed, so I couldn't select it I had just removed it! I had to install the rest of the suite, then run the installer again, at which time I could select Acrobat and install that?
5 - uninstall, check/repair permissions, run CS3 clean script and re-install - all when logged as root user - everything installed OK, but when I tried to run the updater, I got an error that only users with admin privileges could run updater...and that was when logged in as root!!!
Obviously there's something in my system that has got corrupted, and that is affecting my Acrobat installation and printer, but I have no idea where to start troubleshooting.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks, Nige

Resetting the printer system should take care of the problem of not
having the AdobePDF printer driver. However, if you cannot update
Acrobat and you have tried installing as root and doing a Clean Script
wipe, there is little left to do. An Archive and Install is relatively
painless. You can try to use Applejack to wipe all cache's personal and
system-wide, fix permissions, check for corrupt preference files, etc.
But corrupt preference files should have been removed by running CS3
Cleanscript at its highest level.

Hi,
I'm writing a crystal report (using crystal XI), pulling data from two different databases. The first issue is how to display these concurrently - I'm guessing the best option is to build them as two sub reports?
The report i'm hoping to produce will give usage summarys for stock held in our warehouse, for the current month, then the preceeding 12 months, in the following order:
Stock No, This months usage, Last months usage, etc along with some addditional information about the stock item
The first datbase is nice and easy, the table I'm pulling the data from, I have the product code for the stock items, followed by the last 36 months summarised history, so I can put it into a report as follows:
Stock no Current months usage Previous months usage Previous month - 1 usage Previous month - 2 usage
Not the best format, but it would do.... but is there any way of crystal working out from the current date, what the current month is, what the previous month, etc is, and changing the displayed name of these to actual months, so for example, if I ran the report today, it would display March, instead of current month etc?
The next problem, is the second database has this usage in two possible tables. In one, every transaction is shown, so I could use a filter to select only usage, than group the data into months, however how do I then display this across the report, so it matches up with the first database?
I thought of using a cross tab report, but I need to pull in other information as well as just usage, and can't see any way to do that...
The second option is to use a tabkle that summarises the usage. problem there is again, that the usage isn't in the same order as in the first report.
In this table, I have Stock No, This Year Period 1 Usage, This Year period 2 Usage, etc, Last year Period 1 Usage, etc.
Can I get crystal to dynamically chosse which fields go in there, so I only show the current months usage, with the last 12 months usage, so thats its lined up with the first report?
Hope that made some kind of sense.. but thankyou anyone in advance if you're able to help...

Obviously, I've cheated a little, and just copied and pasted, so the data no longer actually matches up - but hopefully you get the idea...

Route Summarization ... Good or Bad !

Hi,
[1] Is route summarization good or not good ? While reading, I am confused as the docs says route summaization is good as it uses less CPU cycles and less memory but on the other hand it is not that good as well as some of the routes might be lost due to route summarization.
[2] Is there a baseline when to do route summarization ?
Please enlighten me experts,
Thank you,
-SN-

[1]. It depends on your circumstances. For smaller networks, it's not strictly necessary to summarise. For bigger networks, you will quickly run into problems if you don't summarise. The problem with summarisation is that routing may not always be optimal. But you can live with that; if your network melts down because you are carrying too many routes, then you are much worse off. So summarisation is a good thing.
[2]. See response to [1] above.
Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.

Apple TV Dissapears

Hi there... hope anyone can help me out.
Got myself a AppleTV but somehow it allways dissapears in my ITunes. Meaning that I can configure it, but as soon the sync starts, the Device dissapears.
I tried all mentioned in the AppleFactbook.. but non of theese suggestions work. As soon I reload the Wireless... everything works for a few seconds. It also works unsing the RJ45.
Biggest problem is, that my Apple Partner store is not taking back this peace of junk, since it works in theire store. At least with theire Wirelessrouter.
I'm using a Zyxel.. hope anyone can help out....
Thx

Just got Apple TV this 2 days ago and this syncing and dissapearing has been driving me NUTS!
My Apple TV only ever appeared in Itunes for about a minute then dissapeared. If I tried to sync one Albumn it dissapeared after 3 or 4 tracks - only a complete G5 rebbot ever got it back again. The good news is I HAVE FOUND THE CURE !!!!!!!!!
All I did in the end was change my Netgear Router channel number (it was 11 and its now 3)
My Apple TV has now been Sync'd and showing in Itunes for an hour - this was previously impossible. So to summarise , all these problems are caused by flaky wireless signal being too sensitive to my neighbours Broadband and maybe even my DEC telephone and Microwave etc etc etc.
Please let me know if anyone else finds the same.
Good Luck !!

Print format problem in report

I have a tabular reports with several repeating frames.For each record of the outer repeating frame, I have multiple records in the inner repeating frame. My problem is if the inner repeating frame cannot fit within a page , it does not overflow to the next page but the record is truncated. I have a summary column in the outer frame based on the inner frame values. Sometimes I see this summarised results but no record is display from the inner repeating frame. I hope someone can visualise this and come up with a solution. I had wanted to paste the layout on the blog but to no avail. Thanks for your help.

while defining filed catalog define the data type also
clear l_fieldcat.
l_fieldcat-fieldname = 'MEINS'.
l_fieldcat-datatype = 'UNIT'.
l_fieldcat-no_out = ' '.
l_fieldcat-do_sum = 'X'.
l_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'UOM'.
append l_fieldcat to p_fieldtab.
may be it would help.
anya

2 months of 'my' problem is a major outage at my l...

I would like to praise the staff at the BT call centre, for doing an excellent job under extreme presure, with little or no help from other BT technicians. for the past 2 months i have been in contact with them about 'my' connection problem. the advisor who took my case called me up to day, to say that all my woes can be traced to a major service outage at my local exchange, that is not only affecting me, but a lot of people - much to his astonishment and dispair, as no-one in the centre knew anything about the problem. I only knew of the problem due to using a different modem to the bthub, and a download monitor they are working on the problem, but i wonder how many other people on here are suffering the same 'fault' as me - it being their local exchange, and not them.. by the look of it, quite a few.
below i summarise my journey to discovery (which is/was going to be the basis of my complaint, now fingures crossed - not needed)
Prior to June 30th 2010, I received an email from BT services saying that if I re-signed up on my option 3 plan, my current speed of 7mbps could be increased to around 13mbps – I signed up.
On or about 1st July 2010, Btbroadband suffered a major outage, losing the service for 2 days or so. After about 5 days, I still had not regained a proper service. I was receiving a asdl2 line speed of 0.01Kbp, so I made enquiries with the BT help desk, who blamed a fault in my BT home hub modem even though I told them I did not use it prior to the problem, and only connected it after calling BT.
The day before my new Bthomehub2 modem arrived, I regained some level of service –
on July 6th 2010, of around 2420kbps. Although extremely unhappy that my so called upgrade was infact been a downgrade, which had left me with half of what I had had before, I believed the BT help desk who had said their system was not at fault, so resigned my self to be on that speed.
I did a full system overhaul and rolled my system back a couple of months prior to ‘my’ problem, and brought and fitted a netgear router, all to no effect, with my speed remaining constant at around 2418kbps.
On August 28th 2010, my speed dropped to 1963kbps
On August 29th 2010, my speed dropped to 729kbps
On August 29th 2010, my speed dropped to 340kbps
It then proceeded that my new ‘upto 20mb’ speed was 340kbps, and has remained so.
On August 31st 2010, at 18.17hrs the BT help desk had my line reset to 6767kbps. I was getting a full service
On September 1st 2010 by 05:20hrs the connection had dropped to 495kbps. By 07.28, it had reverted back to 340kbps.
On September 4th 2010, after a BT engineers visit, my DSL connection rate had been set to 8124kbps, with my ip profile set at 350kbps. tests on other speed checkers showed a 339kbps connection. I was told that the signal would improve, as it needed to synchronise .The engineer departed at 15.20 on having done wire test from phone point and computer room. Capability of line was 18.6mb.
I was away that evening, but by the time I returned on September 5th 2010, my connection had reverted back to 340kbps.
Since then, my speed has been an average of around 340kbps.
welcome to the world of last wednesday week.

RESULT RECORDING PROBLEM

Dear Gurus,
I am facing problem I have maintained formula for paricular MIC,e.g Zn-for this MIC i have to calculate the percantage as 100 minus balance of the remaining MICs eg i have maintained in this form--1
100-(C9010C9020C9030C9040C9050C9060C9070C9080C9090)
Please note i have maintain the folowing parameters in control indicators for the MICs from 10 to 90 in the Inspection plan
1) Sampling procedure
2) Required chara
3) single results
4) Fixed scope
5)Record measured values
6)print
7) documentation
and only for the MIC which formula is maintain i have maintained CAL CHAR.
when i creat a purchase and do migo an inpsection lot is gnerated.
when go to t.code QA32 to record results in RECORD RESULTS CHARACTERISTICS OVERVIEW
I HAVE NOTICED THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS
1) FORMULA IS NOT BEEN CALCULATED.
2)INSPECTED COLCUMN NEXT TO SINGLE VALUE IS AN INPUT SCREEN.i.E-Number of Inspected Sample Units--(WHAT I MEAN ITS NOT GREY FEILD-THE VALUES HERE SHOULD BE 1 AND GREY )
3)ALSO THE SINGLE VALUE TAB IS GREY NOT USUAL-IF CLICK ON IT THE TAB DROP DOWN.
I HAVE RUN THIS SCENRIO IN MY DEVELOPMENT SERVER AND IT WORKED PREFECTLY,BUT MY CLIENT SERVER I AM GETTING THIS PROBLEM
WHAT ARE SETTING I AM MISSING.
Regards
Ram
Edited by: RAMKUMAR WARIYAR on Feb 24, 2009 4:41 PM

Dear Ram
1) As the sample size was 1 system was taking this as Summarised recording & that is the reason why the system is showing 3 tabs instead 4
2) Please do the following setting in Config : SPRO>QM> Basic Setting> maintain setting for plant level>Plant> Result recording > untick Summ. Recording n=1.
If you had ticked this means that the results recording will always be summarized if n = 1 (for example when inspecting one unit or 1 ml).
please do check now whether the formula is working for a new lot and you have 4 tabs in RR
Was a good question to solve

Problem using a conditional suppress in a cross-tab ?

is there a problem using a conditional suppress in a cross-tab on a row or summarized field in crystal XI?
I am using the following conditional suppress on a summarized field and its rows
         If {@SortCode}=4 then true;
Sortcode is a group sorting formula field
the summarized field is a formula field as well.
All of the summarized fields are suppressed although the cross- tab performs correctly on @Sortcode and the summarized field when not using the condition
it seems to me to be a reporting flow issue although i've included "whileprintingrecords" and "evaluateafter" with no success.
i have also moved the cross-tab from the report header to group header and applied a conditional suppress on the group header through section expert.
this supresses the group i dont want but includes grand totals for each group and also varys the number of columns
i can't filter on sortcode because one of the grand total calculations requires those records and a subreport or second cross-tab does not contain the same number of columns
the cross-tab is necessary as a client may have columns spanning one to many pages
thanks for your help

Hi I have a similar problem,
I have an clock in solution, where i have some dates with data such as, various entries for a date eg, 01/11/2010 1hr, 01/11/2010 3 hrs etc, 03/11/2010 2hrs , 05/11/2010 4.5hrs, 05/11/2010 4 hrs so i need total for each day and highlight only those days, where total is less than 4.5, including days which donu2019t have records eg 02/11/2010 & 04/11/2010, I summarise in totals using a cross tab, to get summarised output for each day as,
            Totals
01/11/2010    4
03/11/2010    2
05/11/2010    8.5
in order to get the dates which didnu2019t have records, i added a dataset from Excel spreadsheet where i just have a sequential dates for the year , and use record selection to select only those dates in range which i need to display, so the result i get
01/11/2010    4
02/11/2010    0
03/11/2010    2
04/11/2010    0
05/11/2010    8.5
so far so good, all using cross tab, now i want to suppress rows which have total > 4.5 so the result should be
01/11/2010    4
02/11/2010    0
03/11/2010    2
04/11/2010    0
How can i do that?

Major Problems since day one

Posting this on behalf of my mother. (who BT have cut off in the course of an ongoing dispute over payments). Since she signed up with BT, There have been a number of issues, ranging from deceptive selling practices, refusal to provide sales call transcripts, breach of contract with regards to payment terms, outright hopeless customer service, both with regards to addressing problems, alongside a lack of proactive company-client interactions, and finally, the complete removal of all service whilst payments are in dispute, effective leaving my other unable to contact BT - her supplier - from her own home - this effectively acts as coercion on BT's part.
My mother signed up to BT as a result of an inbound sales call, where BT's representative and my mother, to our joint best knowledge (as BT have yet to send recordings and transcripts of the call) that my mother could both a) Pay her bill monthly, as opposed to quarterly, and b) that the package my mother was signing up to included unlimited broadband. My mother later phoned BT to sign up after comparing the deal she had been offered with her current TalkTalk package.
While my mother admits she cannot recall the exact content of her inbound call, it should be remembered that she had discussed terms with a representative prior to the call, and was in her knowledge, agreeing to those terms. If the BT representative she was in contact with when she made contact did not correct my mother, or firmly outline the terms, BT can arguably have been seen as changing the contract terms without notifying the signing party - a practice which is, to my knowledge, illegal, and if not, certainly immoral, and not a good way to conduct business.
The main sticking point is the broadband charges, which are the charges in dispute. My mother signed up under the presumption that she was on the unlimited option (later discovered to be option 3) due to the household being heavy users due to the data using devices in the household at the time being as follows:
2 games consoles with online capabilities
3 smartphones
1 desktop computer -mine- with a premium Spotify account, regularly used
Another desktop - my sister's - which streamed a large amount of content through iPlayer and YouTube
1 laptop, belonging to my mother's partner, with a recently opened Spotify Free (unlimited ad-supported streaming for 6-months) account, again resulting in a large amount of streaming
With this in mind, my mother had been led to believe that she would be on a similar package to her TalkTalk package at the time, which had Unlimited broadband (Subject to fair use). Given that the representative which made the outbound call which started the process, to our knowledge, confirmed both terms and prices, this could be considered as an oral contract - legally binding in both Scots and English Law - meaning that any changes made without notification would surely render the contract null and void.
My mother and the household then proceeded to use the service on the assumption that it was an unlimited one. The first sign of trouble arose when the first bill arrived after 3 months as opposed to after the first, despite the terms agreed being monthly payments. Whilst the bill stated that my mother was signed up to option 2, my mother didn't contemplate that this was a lesser package than the one agreed to, and instead thought that the abnormally high bill was down to installation charges etc. and thus, the household continued to use the service on the assumption of it being an unlimited one.
When the 2nd bill (April 2012) came through, it became clear that the bill was high due to usage above the download limit - a limit which my mother was unaware existed, due to her being under the impression that the terms she had agreed to included unlimited broadband. Whilst BT have pointed out that they sent notifications to my mother's BT account, My mother feels that it would have been good customer service to phone her and make her aware that the package she was on wasn't adequate -mainly because it wasn't what was agreed to- and if she would like to upgrade - to the package she had agreed to.
My mother refused to pay this bill until the issue was addressed, and indeed she offered to pay the price differential between option 2 and option 3. Bearing in mind my mother had been mislead, this is arguably, on her part, a noble gesture.. BT instead refused to agree to this course of action and instead blocked both in and outgoing calls; Stopped BT vision; and cut off her broadband. This was temporarily resolved when my mother pointed out that the payments were being withheld due to a dispute, and service continued until a couple of days ago, when all services were again discontinued. This includes the ability to contact the emergency services, as my mother found out when my estranged father – under a non-harrassment order and just released from prison – attended the house, leaving my mother unable to contact the police, potentially putting her life at riskWhilst I understand that this is BT's prerogative, I wish to point out that they steadfastly refused my mother's resolution. Her contact with BT's Call centres has been, to put it lightly, unconstructive, with Call centre reps acknowledging that the charges WERE excessive, but that Management were unwilling to budge. This to me, smacks of a deliberate attempt to NOT resolve the problem by BT.
As my mother's attempts at engaging with BT customer service have been unproductive, I have offered to take it up on her behalf.
To summarise:
My mother was missold a service after having been misled -whether by accident or by design- with regards to her contract (Oral contracts being binding in both Scots and English law)
My mother was notified of going over "broadband limits" which she should not have been subject to, through a channel she was not aware of.
BT actively placed my mother in harm's way by cutting off ALL services – including contact of the emergency services from the landline – without any notification
My mother's most recent bill, dated June 2012, contains the following charges:
BT Home Hub 3.0
13 Jun 12
You have left BT Total Broadband within 12 months ? so this charge is for
the cost of your broadband equipment
£46.00
Broadband and Calls
13 Jun 12
You cancelled this service while on contract - so this charge is for your
Package to the end of your contract
£148.93
Broadband Access Service
13 Jun 12
This charge is for the cessation of your Broadband - for further
information please see http://www.bt.com/ceasecharge
£30.00
Final Payment for Vision+ box
13 Jun 12
You cancelled your BT Vision service whilst in contract - so this is the
deferred payment charge for this service.
£199.00
BT Vision Unlimited contract for 12 months
13 Jun 12
You cancelled this service while on contract - so this charge is for your
TV to the end of your contract
£10.06
All pertaining to consequences of cancellation
+ excessive usage charges (£50 for the period April - June 2012 inclusive)
+ £78.59 in what, to my knowledge, is the disputed payment for excessive broadband
+ the following
Other one-off charges
16 Apr 12
Charge for reconnection of line after outgoing calls were barred
£12.00
Late payment charge
£7.50
the total of the above comes to £582.02 . However, due to my above point, Any payments with regards to cessation of contracts are arguably null and void due to the nature of the contract (altered without consent of the signing party). none of the goods or services above would have been used or sought under the terms BT were apparently working under. In consideration that the above value is more than that of the bill itself, my mother would be happy with the following:
1: A written apology, resumption of her services ( Free Evening and Weekend calls, BT Vision) PLUS a complimentary upgrade to BT Infinty option 2 Broadband services at the rate of BT option 2 until October 2012, at which point my mother is free to either continue using the service at the rate advertised as of June 21st, 2012; or to cancel her BT services without pain or penalty - including but not limited to package cancellation charges; service cessation charges; charges for equipment, and any and all other charges triggered by contract cancellation
OR

Why can't I boot from my hard drive internally but no problem externally?

Being unable to 100% solve my problem based off solved problems I have decided to log in. I will start from the very beginning. The computer is the Macbook late 2009 unibody. I upgraded the ram from 2GB to 8GB. everything was going smoothly until like 2 months ago. My 250Gb Hard drive was geting maxed out and in the midst of downloading I was getting warnings to free space so I was deleting and downloading the same time.....and then boom...the computer froze. Couldn't forse quit or anthing only choice was to manually power off. when I powered back on the screen was grey and would not start. I reserched solutions and ended up resetting the PR ram. after that the screen changed to white and nothing happened for a long time I was stuck...until......:
I bought an external hard drive incasing. and like magic everything I thought I lost was right there booting externally. Now I'd be fine with that if not for the reason I bought the computer in the first place, which is to be ultra portable and kep me awake as I work nights as a security in various changing post on a nightly basis. lugging the external case around has complicated a system that was working fine to the point of death.
So over time I have acumilated these things:
a 16 GB hp flash usb currently holding the bootable snow leapard DVD installer
a 500GB wd scorpio blue hard drive from an old PC pased laptop
a 250GB toshiba hard drive (came with laptop snow leopard installed)
a 250GB can't think of the brand cause I'm using it now hard drive (mountin lion installed)
neither Hardive holding apple operating systems will boot internally but boot externally. I have tried putting snow leopard, lion and mountin lion on the scorpio blue but everytime I get the same result, an install failed error. So you may have guessed, I was hoping the scorpio blue as my last hope, getting an operating system on it maybe I could boot internally but for what ever reason it won't intall fully any mac os X. So at this point I want to know if it's possible for me to just put a windows operating system on it ad if it may be able to boot that way.
EXTRA INFO:
when partioning the hard drive, if I have it connected internally, the computer recognizes it but I get cannot unmount errors. externally everything moves smoothly but it won't install the operating system. Currently I'm running mountin lion externally and I have the big hard drive inside the computer and it shows up as "untitled 1" it contents is two folders "Mac os X Install data" (red icon attached) and "private" It tells me I don't have permission to look inside the mac os folder. if I drag a fle from my computer to untitled 1 it says "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)."
HELP! whatever it takes I just want to boot something without lugging this external case everywhere.

Hi Too_Talls,
I'm not quite sure I have totally understood you. Please correct me if I am wrong but this is how I've read your symptoms:
MacBook not booting
Plug in external hard drive, choose that as the startup volume. MacBook boots.
Remove internal hard drive and replace with hard drive that has OS installed. MacBook not booting.
Remove replaced hard drive, plug it in to usb port. MacBook starts up fine
Does the above correctly summarise the problem?
If it does, then the fault can only be one of two things.
The SATA connector is not fully seated into the hard drive.
The SATA connector ribbon cable is damaged and needs replacing.
The good news is that, obviously, everthing else in your MacBook is okay (logic board etc) else it would not start up when an external hard disk is plugged into the usb port.

Pro Cam pictures problem - reframing option broken

Ok not the best description of a problem! But let me tell you what has happened.
I took some 200 photos on my new Lumia 1020 on a recent holiday in Ibiza using Pro Cam (5mp & 34mp mode). When I got home I *moved* all of these photos (both "pro" and "pro_hires") off the phone because my plan was to use my PC to review and only keep the best photos on the phone. I then copied the "pro" and "pro_hires" versions of the keepers back onto my phone. Now the problem..... in the Gallery these photos are no longer recognised as being taken by Pro Cam (you only see the 5mp versions). I'm really quite disappointed by this - if appears that if you take them off the phone and put them back again then Pro Cam will not recognise them and you lose all the reframe "zoom later" functionality.
Just to summarise , I have copied both 5mp and 34mp versions of some photos back into the Camera Roll folder (which is where I orignally found them using my PC) but Pro Cam does not recoginise them as being taken by the the app.
Help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is a real shame as it must be possible as the sample photos on the phone are obvious;y added during production and not actually taken by the handset. Wonder how they do it ?

Jdk1.4 Timer problem

Hi all,
I am using the Timer class provided with JDK1.4. During scheduling, you take the current time as the reference time for relative timer. Everything is ok if i dont change the system time.
But consider this scenario. If i have a heartbeat timer (which dont worries about the current time) which ticks every 500 milliseconds ( after some 5 to 6 ticks I am disconnecting from the server) but when I change the system time, the heartbeat will tick many number of times depending on the changed time assuming that timout is happened and get disconnected with the server.
How can I solve this? If it can't be done with jdk timer, please help in identifying a solution for this?
TIA
Karthik

In response to cpolizzi: (Not in original posting order)
One reason that I do not like the
javax.swing.Timer is that it requires a
graphical subsystem to be present.One would expect that from a javax.swing class, yes. Swing is a graphical toolkit.
Digressing slightly, note that since Java 1.4, the AWT no longer needs a graphical subsystem to be present, so image manipulation (and such) is now possible on headless J2EE servers.
The Java application created and started both J2SE
supplied timers each for a one minute delay as well as
two other threads. One thread does a
Thread.sleep for one minute and the other
thread does an Object.wait with a timeout for
one minute on a locally created object to synchronize
on. After the two timers and threads were started,
which I tried to start as close as possible, the main
application thread also does a Thread.sleep for
one minute. After the main application thread went to
sleep, I changed the system clock back by one minute.
The results: the two threads doing a
Thread.sleep and Object.wait "woke" back
up after one minute even despite the change in the
system clock as did the main application thread also
doing a Thread.sleep. However, the two J2SE
supplied timers did not. Instead, each of those
timers "expired" when the system clock reached one
minute after the time in which each one was scheduled
or started. I encountered this behavior on both of
the JVM's I have loaded on my W2K box.This is 100% correct behaviour, exactly as I would expect.
I also tried setting the system clock ahead by 30
seconds, one minute and even five minutes after
everything is going and it seems that the J2SE timers
were not affected - each expired right when other
threads resumed from their sleep and wait. I
encountered this behavior on both of the JVM's I have
loaded on my W2K box.Once again, this behaviour is as close to correct as is reasonably possible.
Without delving into the implementation into either
one of the J2SE supplied timers, it seems to me that
both of these timers, when they are effectively
started ticking, calculate the expected expiration
time relative to the current system time and use a
polling mechanism on seperate threads.Perhaps you should have delved.
java.util.Timer works on a priority queue of tasks. It will wait (using Object.wait()) for the time period required for the next task to expire, and then test if the task has indeed expired, through a comparison to System.currentTimeMillis(). If it hasn't, presumably because of spurious wakeup, it will again wait until it expects the task to expire and retest. Exceptions to this flow may occur if the task queue changes - if a task is scheduled or rescheduled, so the expected closest expiry time is closer than the current waiting time, then the wait will be interrupted and recalculated. If the next task is unscheduled, then the wait will be interrupted and recalculated for the next task in line.
Thus, if you move the system time back, then the timer will indeed wait until the Task's scheduled expiry date/time has been reached... if you move the system time forward, then when the timer wakes up from its wait, it will realise that the task has indeed expired and it will fire as expected, unless it is deemed too late to fire.
To summarise, java.util.Timer is an optimal implementation of a single-threaded event scheduler for events scheduled to execute at a particular time in the future, marked by a given date and time. See below for comments on spurious wakeup for why this is so.
My bottom line expectation is that when it comes to
relative timers, a duration is a duration regardless
of what happens to the system's notion of current
time.You will note that java.util.Timer offers a cron-like facility for tasks to be performed at set times during the day. It can also be used to perform tasks at set time intervals, but such behaviour requires a constant and predictable system time.
You should further note that changing the system time will not prevent a task executing, unless the system time has been moved later than the allowable execution time for a particular task - which is exactly defined in the documentation, and the most correct behaviour that could be reasonably expected.
Aside from the fact that I find this behavior of the
supplied J2SE timers unacceptable, that is if the
synopsis is correct, I need to find a way around this
problem. The only reasonable course of action that I
have is to implement my own timers. Fortunately, the
impact to any dependent code at work will be isolated
since I have already abstracted the J2SE timer
dependencies from the clients.This is correct. If you want custom, specific behaviour in a context that provided system classes do not cater for, then you will need to either find an alternate implementation or build your own.
Digressing again, all waits should be performed in a while loop to prevent against spurious thread wakeup. The wait condition should hold the definitive break condition for the wait loop... in the case of an accurate timer, the break condition is that the required number of milliseconds have passed since the wait was entered. I challenge you to implement an accurate timer that is not dependent on the system time and is protected against spurious wakeup.
Spurious wakeup is not just theoretical - I have actually had to rework a non-protected wait() providing a simple delay into a time-dependent looping wait because I was experiencing consistent spurious wakeup in a particular circumstance. I still don't know what the circumstance was exactly, but double-checking against the system time meant I didn't have to (Incidentally, the spurious wakeup didn't recur, so the system was not ever reduced to polling)
As for the java.util.Timer, each timer has its
own queue which runs on a seperate VM thread. So, if
I go and create thousands of timers (ala new
java.util.Timer()) I get thousands of VM threads.Why would you expect any different? java.util.Timer supports arbitrarily many tasks being scheduled at any particular time (Subject to restrictions as mentioned in the java.util.Timer javadoc documentation), so only one Timer object needs to be created. More than one may be created, so distinct subsystems of a framework can execute completely distinct timers (ie- one subsystem's timer failing for any reason won't bring the other subsystems' timers down). If you dislike such flexibility, feel free to devise your own interface.

P6 R8 Summarisation issues

Eventually we have managed to get version 8 up and running both on client and web i.e. P6 Professional and P6 EPPM for want of a better name. It appears to be running smoothly at the moment. One of the issues I have found, is that when we have summarised all the projects, when we open up P6 Professional (which is what we use primarily) summarised data is not shown and you need to press F5 to refresh the database. In the previous version, as soon as the database was opened it automatically showed summarised data. Have I missed a tick box somewhere or do we have to live with it or is there an enhancement in the pipeline.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I did the SP1 and Hotfix installs for R8.2, which helped a few things, but did virtually nothing to fix Java issues and user error messages. This should have made the applets run with the latest version of Java. The problems actually got worse - Red "X" appeared in IE wherever Java applets were supposed be running.
I have had to uninstall Java from each machine, and reinstall it - on 64 bit machines, two Java installations are required - one for 32 bit browsers and one for 64 bit. Once reinstalled and verified, I actually access a website that requires Java to function, as a second check to be absolutely positive that the plugin is enabled and working. (The "Verify Java" link only ensures that it is installed, NOT that it is enabled and functional). Upon verification, I am finally able to get back to P6 EPPM Web and test. Generally (not always) I get the red "X" problem to go away, but I still get Java version error messages.
I have followed the Note 899568.1 - How To Hardcode P6 Web Access To Use A Specific Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version When Running Applets. By doing this, I was able to change things somewhat, but invariably end up breaking some applets. I am sure that the problem is getting exactly the right string in the field provided in the P6 Administrator. Since we have no real guidance on exactly what string shoud go in the field, I never know if what I have entered is precisely correct. Another drawback to using this method to fix Java is that this operation requires me to restart the P6 webserver - downtime to do this is rarely allowed without requesting a maintenance window.
The fact that I have not been able to successfully test a good solution to this problem, prevents me from changing anything in production. I sure need an authoritative/definitive answer!

Performance problems using BPM

Hello all,
We have Request/Reply interface using the JMS adapter towards the SAP R/3 system.
So the interface has 3 steps :
1. Request from JMS adapter - Asynchronous
2. Request/Reply using RFC adapter towards the R/3 - sync
3. Reply to JMS adapter - Asynchronous
we are using the BPM to merge all those steps, but between step 1 to 2 it waits about 4 seconds (we can monitor the message at SM58 for 2-3 seconds).
Its a problem for us because we exceed the time for the Request/reply at the MQ (which is connected to the JMS adapter).
Does someone has any idea ?
Regards,
Yaki

Hello again Michelle, Kjetil,
We looked into this and given your details provided
regarding the query executed and the fact that this
problem shows up over thin network connections, we
believe you may be hitting one/both of Bug 2658196
and Bug 1844184.
To summarise, regardless of whether you use version
control or not, Designer must check version details
for each repository object acted on.
On a local machine or LAN, this does not present a
problem, but on a WAN, this does, due the amount of
(albeit individually small) packets of information
sent backwards and forwards between the client and
the repository.
Unfortunately, Oracle Designer was never designed to
run across a WAN. To attempt to get the performance
required would involve a re-design and re-write of a
large part of the Design Editor. I'm afraid this is
not really a practical option.
Other customers have also run into this problem. They
have found that using a third party product, such as,
Tarantella solves the problem. Products like Tarantella
enable clients to use central installations of Designer
with better results than using a locally installed copy.
Please see Metalink (http://meatlink.oracle.com) for
full details on the bugs themselves.
Hope this helps.
