The day jobs of super heros

Came across these today - thought they were pretty great.
See the rest here - http://veryfunnypics.eu/2015/06/23/what-if-the-heroes-we-love-had-different-jobs-20-pictures/What would your super-power be, and what's the most mundane, boring way you could possibly use it?I'd have the power to stop time, and I'd use it to pause movies when I'm too lazy to sit up and reach for the remote.

1st job of the day has to come from local computer

I've bought and installed a Laserjet M125a by usb cable in a windows 7 64 bit computer at my office. I've shared the printer with other computers (XP, 7, 32 and 64 bit) through our LAN (cable and wireless).
Everyday, when we turn everything on in the morning, we can't print from any computer in the LAN. The 1st print job of the day has to come from the computer to which the printer is connected via usb cable. After that 1st print, the other computers in the LAN are able to print.
I have already uninstalled, reinstalled, unshared and reshared it on all computers, but nothing fixed the issue.
Any ideas?
(Sorry for the broken english!)

What if she waits another 5 minutes? I suspect some autostart stuff is still loading in the backgrund and slowing the start down.

Jobs trying to access ODBC driver fails at a particular time of the day

Hi,
We have 3 jobs which fails at around from 10 PM to 6AM with the following message in the job history:
[SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7320) OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "mfglive" returned message "[DataDirect][ODBC Progress OpenEdge Wire Protocol driver][OPENEDGE]Server crash likely.". [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7412)
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "mfglive" returned message "[DataDirect][ODBC Progress OpenEdge Wire Protocol driver]Socket closed."
But the same jobs run perfectly when I schedule them to run at any time during the working hours.
I want to confirm if there can be something wrong with SQL/Linked server for this issue?
Thanks

It appears to me that that job conflicts with database maintenance activities during the night.

How to take the cron job log in HP UX?

Hi,
How to take the cron job log in HP UX
I need to run a backup and other stuff everyday. How do I check and start cron service under HP-UX UNIX operating system? How do I write cron jobs?
A. Cron service is required to run jobs and tasks such as backup.
You must login as the root to run following commands. Each user that is using the cron service must have a cron configuration file in the /var/spool/cron/crontab directory. Also users are permitted if their name appeared in /var/adm/cron/cron.allow file
Task: Find out if cron is running under HP-UX
Type the following command at a shell prompt
# ps -ef | grep cron
Open /etc/rc.config.d/cron file
vi /etc/rc.config.d/cron
Set control variable to 1 to enable cron: CRON=1
Set control variable to 0 to disable: CRON=0
Close and save the file. To start or stop cron you can type the following command:
# /sbin/init.d/cron start <-- start cron
# /sbin/init.d/cron stop <-- stop cron
Task: HP-UX Start cron service
If cron is not running, simply type:
# cron
Task: Edit / create cron jobs
Type the following command to submit a cron job:
# crontab -e
List your cron file:
# crontab -l
Backup all your cron jobs:
# crontab -l > ~/backup.cron.jobs
Remove ALL cron job:
# crontab -r
Task: Crontab file format
Cron file format is as follows:
MIN HOUR DATE MONTH DAY /PATH/TO/COMMAND
0-59 0-23 1-31 1-12 0-6 /root/scripts/backup2tape.shEasy to remember crontab file format:
* * * * * command to be executed
| | | | |
| | | | ----- Day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7)
| | | ------- Month (1 - 12)
| | --------- Day of month (1 - 31)
| ----------- Hour (0 - 23)
------------- Minute (0 - 59)To run /root/script/backup at 23:00, every day, enter:
# crontab -e
Append following
0 23 * * * /root/script/backupRun foo job very weekday (MON-Fri) at 6am, enter:
0 6 * * 1-5 /root/script/backupFor more information refer to cron and crontab man pages.

You might note that all files normally found in /etc/init.d, /etc/rc*.d, and others are all in /sbin in HP-UX 10.20 and up.
Note too that your formatting is off in the description of the /etc/rc.config.d/cron file. Also, if you run /usr/bin/cron instead of /sbin/init.d/cron start, the /etc/rc.config.d/cron file is not used.

Satya

I guess it would :)
btw, how did this piece miss from the contents pasted by the OP ?
The doc has given all details of CRON and missed where to see the logfiles. :)
****Added****
I tried man crontab in windows, i dont see it.i overlook most of the things, i would have done the same ;)

How to schedule the background job daily twice?

Hi,
How to schedule the background job daily twice? any conditions?
Regards,
Srihitha

see the step by step procedure.
Scheduling Background Jobs:
1. Background jobs are scheduled by Basis administrators using transaction SM36.
2. To run a report in a background, a job needs to be created with a step using the report name
and a variant for selection parameters. It is recommended to create a separate variant for each
scheduled job to produce results for specific dates (e.g. previous month) or organizational units (e.g.
company codes).
3. While defining the step, the spool parameters needs to be specified
(Step-> Print Specifications->Properties) to secure the output of the report and help authorized users
to find the spool request. The following parameters needs to be maintained:
a. Time of printing: set to Send to SAP spooler Only for now
b. Name abbreviated name to identify the job output
c. Title free form description for the report output
d. Authorization a value defined by Security in user profiles to allow those users to access
this spool request (authorization object S_SPO_ACT, value SPOAUTH). Only users with matching
authorization value in their profiles will be able to see the output.
e. Department set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
a search later.
f. Retention period set to Do not delete if the report output needs to be retained for more
than 8 days. Once the archiving/document repository solution is in place the spool requests could
be automatically moved to the archive/repository. Storage Mode parameter on the same screen
could be used to immediately send the output to archive instead of creating a spool request.
Configuring user access:
1. To access a report output created by a background job, a user must have at
least access to SP01 (Spool requests) transaction without restriction on the user
name (however by itself it will not let the user to see all spool requests). To have
that access the user must have S_ADMI_FCD authorization object in the profile with
SPOR (or SP01) value of S_ADMI_FCD parameter (maintained by Security).
2. To access a particular jobs output in the spool, the user must have
S_SPO_ACT object in the profile with SPOAUTH parameter matching the value used
in the Print Specifications of the job (see p. 3.d above).
3. Levels of access to the spool (display, print once, reprint, download, etc) are
controlled by SPOACTION parameter of S_SPO_ACT. The user must have at least
BASE access (display).
On-line reports:
1. Exactly the same configuration can be maintained for any output produced
from R/3. If a user clicks Parameters button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
Scheduling background jobs section. Thus any output created by an online report
can be saved and accessed by any user authorized to access that spool request
(access restriction provided by the Authorization field of the spool request
attributes, see p. 3.d of Scheduling background jobs section).
Access to reports output:
1. A user that had proper access (see Configuring user access above) can
retrieve a job/report output through transaction SP01.
2. The selection screen can be configured by clicking Further selection
criteria button (e.g. to bring Spool request name (suffix 2) field or hide other
fields).
3. The following fields can be used to search for a specific output (Note that
Created By must be blank when searching for scheduled jobs outputs)
a. Spool request name (suffix 2) corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
Scheduling background jobs section above).
b. Date created to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
c. Title corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in Scheduling background jobs
section above).
d. Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in Scheduling
background jobs section above).
4. Upon entering selection criteria, the user clicks the Execute button to
retrieve the list of matching spool requests.
5. From the spool list the user can use several function such as view the
content of a spool request, print the spool request, view attributed of the spool
request, etc. (some functions may need special authorization, see p.3 in
Configuring user access)
a. Click the Print button to print the spool request with the default attributes
(usually defined with the job definition). It will print it on a printer that was
specified when a job was created.
b. Click the Print with changed attributed button to print the spool request
with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
c. Click the Display contents button to preview the spool request contents. A
Print and Download functions are available from the preview mode.

How can I/Is it possible to silently print a PDF with specific print settings and obtaining the resulting job id (in windows at least)?

Greetings,
I have a specific application for Windows I'm developing where I need to silently print a PDF to a real printer. The trick is I need to set specific printing preferences ... such as color/monochrome, # of copies, page size / source tray, etc. The printer is always set to spool documents, and it is key that I know the job id (even if its already done printing) of the resulting print job.
With windows APIs mixed in, I would imagine something like ...
OpenPrinter(printername)
StartDocPrinter(...)
-----> some SDK call to print the document based on the handles I pass it...or perhaps one page at a time after I call StartPagePrinter()
EndDocPrinter(...)
ClosePrinter()
I've been searching for something for days that would give me this sort of control, but I've been finding the documentation very difficult to find on silently printing a PDF through any means other than a command line which doesn't appear to give me the information or control I need.
Is this possible with the Adobe SDK?
I've seen other posts accomplish this by changing the printing defaults for the printer, and then sending the job silently with a commandline. This has two problems for me: 1) I still don't know the Job ID of the print job, and 2) I can't rely on the idea that other unrelated print jobs will not be sent while I'm processing the PDF ... making it difficult to use defaults as a means of controlling the settings without causing a lot of side effects.
Even just a point in the right direction would be a huge help for how I could accomplish this.
Thanks a lot,
Wayne

Useful Code of the Day: Splash Screen & Busy Application

So you are making an Swing application. So what are two common things to do in it?
1) Display a splash screen.
2) Block user input when busy.
Enter AppFrame! It's a JFrame subclass which has a glass pane overlay option to block input (setBusy()). While "busy", it displays the system wait cursor.
It also supports display of a splash screen. There's a default splash screen if you don't provide a component to be the splash screen, and an initializer runner which takes a Runnable object. The Runnable object can then modify the splash screen component, for example to update a progress bar or text. See the main method for example usage.
It also has a method to center a component on another component (useful for dialogs) or center the component on the screen.
NOTE on setBusy: I do recall issues with the setBusy option to block input. I recall it having a problem on some Unix systems, but I can't remember the details offhand (sorry).

Colormunkie Photo printer profile (*.ICM and *.ICC ) are not seen by LR4.2 in the Print Job section

Colormunkie Photo printer profile (*.ICM and *.ICC ) are not seen by LR4.2 in the Print Job section
I used Colormunkie Photo to create an .ICM file for printer calibration. When that failed I tried changing the suffix to .ICC. Under neither circumstance did LR4.2 display the file in the menu to select printer profile. There were several display files with both suffixes but no printer files at all. I tried three times with no success and cannot think of what else to try. The first two were the same. I varied the file creation name suffix in the third. Help will be appreciated. My OS is Win 7 ultimate SP1 Printer is HP 2550L laserjet.

Tillman
Glad you found your answer, Colormunki is smart enough to figure out the color space for the printer as I found out - But for quality work the latest generation of inkjet printers from Epson and Canon are hard to beat, and compared to a laserjet the quality is like night and day. The other benefit of changing up to an inkjet printer is the choice of papers available which you could not put through a laserjet.
I had a colleague that tried printing on Photoglossy paper through his color laser and it fried the fuser, and HP, while they replaced the fuser unit under warranty, made it very clear that that was a daft thing to do.
So if I were in your position I would go with an inkjet and you will then enjoy the benefits of better quality output, better paper choices and with your Colormunki be able to make custom profiles that will work in LR
Cheers

All the DTP jobs are routing to one application server

HI all,
DTP process job is triggering 3 child jobs all those child jobs are going to one application server, we have many DTP jobs all the jobs are routing to one paticular server that is causing application server to be hang(high cpu, memory utilization) .could you please suggest me in the process chain, is BI team can assign the application, i am not getting why dtp child jobs are executing only one application server, i have obesereved since 10 days it is happening. could you please suggest me how we can over come this.
Thanks & Regards.
Venugopal

Check tcode RSBATCH, If I'm not wrong DTP_LOAD process type is assigned to application server on which these DTP jobs are running. Remove that application server name and save.
Again use RSBATCH, under 'Background and Parallel Processes' tab, click 'Switch Off F4 Popup for Server/Host/Group', enter *** (star) under Users for 'Users for Whom NO Server/Host/Group Popup Should be Processed'. Now activate the PC and execute and check the DTP jobs.
Since u have 4 Appln Servers, best bet would be creating a server group. See the below link.

Count the days Crystal!!

Afternoon all,
I have found a strange thing here, I am using datediff to find out the number of days a job has taken to be shipped.
I found out that Crystal report does not include the date (day of order) and counts from the next following day.
Example
Order placed = 25/06/2008
Order Shipped = 27/06/2008
Days took = 2 (According to Crystal)
However,
According to our old system the same job took 3 days
Order placed = 25/06/2008
Order Shipped = 27/06/2008
Days took = 3 (According to our old system)
How can I make the Crystal count the order day as well!??
many thanks
Kind Regards

Thanks guys!!
I do not regert joining this forum! There are sooo many hands to help!
Yes! even though the order is placed at 6pm it takes it as 1 day (the old system because our ordering system runs 24 hours (online).)
Oki now come to a stupid question.
How can I add 1 day into my formula?
I have a formula:
//weekday({order_progress.date_created},crMonday)- day({bank_hol.holiday_date});
//weekday({order_header.date_entered},crMonday)- day({bank_hol.holiday_date});
if {order_progress.order_status}= 77 then
if datediff('d',{order_header.date_entered},{order_header.act_despatch}) < 9 then
1
else
2;
if datediff('d',{order_header.date_entered},{order_header.act_despatch}) <= 8 then
totext(datediff('d',{order_header.date_entered},{order_header.act_despatch}),0,'')
else
"9+";
In the above coding, Date Entered is the date when order is placed and Despatched date is the date when the order is shipped. How can I add 1 day to into this formula?
Many thanks
Regards

Edit: I tried this method but didn't work
if datediff('d',{order_header.date_entered}+1,{order_header.act_despatch}+1) < 9 then
1
else
2;
if datediff('d',{order_header.date_entered}+1,{order_header.act_despatch}+1) <= 8 then
totext(datediff('d',{order_header.date_entered}+1,{order_header.act_despatch}+1),0,'')
else
"9+";

Re-Scheduling the background job.

Hello All,
How do you schedule the daily job for closing the reconciliation key FPG4 and transferring them to R3 FPG1.

Hi,
I seen this transaction running on back ground, unfurtunately I didnt run it but this is my experience.
We used it to run availability check every 4 hours and the system performance gets lows, of course it depends on technical architecture and volume of material. It reads every line on sales ordes that, in ours scenarios was so high (about 5000 lines in one day or more).
It works perfectly, but buffers get alarme on pics of the operations.
If you program it on low transaction volume, if can be very good, you may also talk before with your basis and explain him this performance issue, maybe he can help.
I hope you find this hopeful.
Regards,
RP

Useful Code of the Day: Button fires events while held

Have you ever been making a GUI application with Swing and used some JButtons? Fun, right? Have you ever wanted to have the button fire action events while the button was being held down? Well, if you just stick a plain JButton in your application and press and hold the mouse button on it, you'll see it doesn't do anything except sit there looking pressed in. Insolent button!
RepeatButton (code below, couldn't think of a better name) is a JButton subclass which contains a timer that is set when the mouse button presses the button, and after a slight initial delay (configurable), fires action events to all registered action listeners repeatedly (with another configurable delay between events) until either the mouse is released or the mouse moves out of the button (it starts up again if the mouse moves back over without releasing the mouse button) or the button is disabled. The event modifiers are passed on as well, so you know if the shift or control buttons (or whatever) are being pressed at the same time.
There is also a method to disable the repeated action firing while holding. This, in effect, turns the button into a normal JButton, if needed.
There is a main method for testing which will show a button in a frame and print out the action command for each action event fired.

* <code>RepeatButton</code> is a <code>JButton</code> which contains a timer
* for firing events while the button is held down. There is a default
* initial delay of 300ms before the first event is fired and a 60ms delay
* between subsequent events. When the user holds the button down and moves
* the mouse out from over the button, the timer stops, but if the user moves
* the mouse back over the button without having released the mouse button,
* the timer starts up again at the same delay rate. If the enabled state is
* changed while the timer is active, it will be stopped.
* NOTE: The normal button behavior is that the action event is fired after
* the button is released. It may be important to konw then that this is
* still the case. So in effect, listeners will get 1 more event then what
* the internal timer fires. It's not a "bug", per se, just something to be
* aware of. There seems to be no way to suppress the final event from
* firing anyway, except to process all ActionListeners internally. But
* realistically, it probably doesn't matter.
