TOSHIBA Please Read - Beta Testing and Developer Community

Hello Jim,
I wanted to respond to your posting about the status of the update but the thread has been locked, so I started a new one. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a chance that we could get a beta test version of the software provided to experienced and brave individuals that can report back to the dev team with various issues and bugs to be fixed?
The public beta will not only appease the people angry at Toshiba for missing the deadline for the update, but also provide necessary feedback to the development team that can be used to create a more feature complete update. As an Android developer myself, I would take every oppurtunity to report bugs and issues and even provide code to help implement fixes for various issues if said source is availible. I believe it would be a great idea for Toshiba to create an open source development community on these forums and to provide us with bleeding edge code for us to implement and mess around with.
Such communities already exist on various sites like XDA Developers but not with vendor support, if Toshiba provided a vendor-supported developer community around the Thrive and other Android devices such as the Excite and Folio. With a vendor supported community, we would have a place where Toshiba can make better software for the devices and developers and brave regular users can participate in the process of getting updates for our various devices. I believe that moving away from such a closed development environment would not only help Toshiba develop better devices and software, but also give the company a leg up on its competitors who do not have such a community pitching in allowing for better software to be coded.
I hope that this message is read by someone at Toshiba that can make this happen, as the benefits are truly mutual, since Toshiba would be getting better software for its devices and developers get the resources and code needed to turn Toshiba into one of the best supporters of this great open-source project.
If anyone from Toshiba would like to contact me to help coordinate such an undertaking, I may be reached at [email protected]
Thank You For Your Time,
Rob Gries
Android Developer

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the thoughtful message. Your points are well made and, while I don't disagree that there are mutual benefits, Toshiba has no current plans for directly building or supporting a developer community.
On the other hand, private beta testing for the Thrive product line was first launched last summer and I expect it to be ongoing as major software updates reach reasonably usable states within the development process. However, you won't see discussion of beta testing in the message boards because beta testers are under NDA.
Thanks again for the thoughts and for your interest in developing for Thrive!
Jim

Service product replication for test and developement system

Hi Experts,
In our scanario service product is created in production system and later manually created in test and developement system.
Is there is any standard function module avilable to replicate the product master data into test and developement system
Or Is it possible to use the middleware functionallity to replicate the service product details.
Please advice on this issue.
Thanks,
Senthil .R

You can use the FindFile method in the TS API:
FindFile Method
Syntax
Engine.FindFile ( fileToFind, absolutePath, userCancelled, promptOption = FindFile_PromptHonorUserPreference, srchListOption = FindFile_AddDirToSrchList_Ask, isCommand = False, [currentSequenceFile])
The function itself returns a boolean which indicates if the file exists or not.
Then just use a Call Executable step to run command line string to delete the file.
Hope this helps!

Do we need Test and Development instances

I would like to know that apart from the production instance, Test and Development 2 instances are required or only one is sufficient. If required how it will be useful.

I depends on your change management philosophy.
In our organization, the Development instance can differ a great deal from production in terms of setups, patch levels, etc. The Test instance is meant to be as close to production as possible in terms of setups and freshness of data. Only when patches are demonstrated to have resolved a problem in Dev are they promoted to Test, and shortly afterward to Production, as long as testing continues to be successful.
This allows our users to train and play in the Test instance without wondering what wacky things the IS team might be doing, be cause we're doing our work primarily in Dev. ;-) In addition, if we have a problem in our production instance, we can have a high degree of confidence that we can replicate it in Test, with identical setups and data. If it is necessary to get more recent data to troubleshoot a production problem, we can quickly clone production to Test without impacting any project work underway in Dev.
In reality, you're likely to find that you'll be lucky if you can get away with running only 3 EBS instances. :-) I'm currently managing 10 instances, but that's a little unusual for us...it's usually more like 4-5.

How to test and develop the HTML/Backbone custom content viewer on IPad?

Hi
I have been tasked with developing and amending the HTML/Backbone custom content viewer as nicely detailed and explained by Derek Lu here:
https://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/html-default-library.html#
I can see that by removing the reference to libs/AdobeLibraryAPI.js in Index.html i am able to "test" on the desktop.

and that data is bought in via the fulfilment XML feed and the parse method is called on Librarycollection.
I have made the changes to hook up the viewer to bring in some folios that we are developing.
However, although this provides the ability to test and develop on the desktop in one form since we are using JS and Backbone, there are various checks within the provided code to see if ADOBE.isAPIAvailable.
If it is, then the behaviour is different than on the desktop, so once the viewer is packaged up and put on the IPad there is disparity between what you were able to check and test on the desktop version against what is shown on the IPad.
The question therefore is... is there a quick way to develop and test on the Ipad ... it doesnt seem like a viable option to develop blindly on the desktop and then package up the content viewer within Adobe DPS to check how those changes behave on the IPad?
To re-iterate the viewer is to make use of backbone / js example to provide greater functionality and options for customisation.
Thanks in anticipation.
Dave

Thankyou for taking the time to respond and for providing such detailed articles on adobe dps development, it is much appreciated.
I had completely missed that article and was struggling to find anything useful from googling!

Beta Testing and UDID

Hello;
I am going to be beta testing a new app from a developer, but in order to do so I need to send them my phone's UDID. My question is, is there any major concern in disclosing the UDID? Is there something that someone can do maliciously if they were to get a hold of it, or is it relatively safe to give out and not have to worry about it getting out?
Thanks for the help!
Brad

Perhaps you missed the bolded bit below from the public beta program page?:
How can I participate?
To join the OS X Beta Program, just sign up using your Apple ID. When the beta software is ready, you’ll receive a redemption code that will allow you to download and install OS X Yosemite Beta from the Mac App Store. Then go ahead and start using it. When you come across an issue that needs addressing, report it directly to Apple with the built-in Feedback Assistant application. "

Create a test and development environment : only one CMS running

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to create a test and Develpment environment for one CMS?
I'm running BO XI 3.1 enterprise edition.
Thanks
Peter

If you only have one server, you'll need to create an extra folder. Use security to stop non-test/dev users seeing the content. Then publish to it.
Once tested, move reports to 'proper' folders.

OSX Beta testing and Feedback assistant....

I was in Mavericks OS X Beta Program and today I had to update my Feedback Assistant to Yosemite F.A. .... but I still dont have Yosemite to give feedback about... Am I missing something? Also checked AppStore updates... nothing there. Any comments?
Is there Yosemite available for downlod to prior Beta testers or only to developers?

Apple please read: Extremely simple and useful development request

I will use myself as an example. In my car i have a Pioneer headunit with ipod control, and ipod controller cable. this works perfectly with my iPhone (thank you apple :)) now if im listening to music from my iphone through my head unit when somebody calls me, it automatically turns my music down, and plays my ring tone through my the headunit/car speakers (thank you again apple, extremely handy)
now here is where the request starts. when i answer the call, it channels the callers voice through the internal earpiece. and when i press speaker, it channels the call through the internal speakerphone speaker. the dev request is, that when an iphone is plugged into an ipod control head unit, and you press speaker on a call, that it channel the audio from the call through the head unit its plugged into in the same fashion that it channels the ring tone through the head unit when sombody calls.
Would this be possible in an update to come apple?
Thank you for your time and this great product

Thank you for this information. Since I have yet to see any Apple employee respond to any post, one would think it would be naive to assume that they do.
In years of posting, I have yet to have any representative contact me. Can you share your situation with us, and how it got resolved? I would be interested to know how you were able to have someone actually contact you.

dear friends
i work as oracle developer for three years and i got a good experience . i work now as oracle developer in a softwarehouse.and i made a good work in this company , but i discoered that my colleague who has just worked for few months and have no experiance at all and have no idea about what oracle is , takes a salary more than me one and half.
when i asked why,they told me coz she graduated from the faculty of engeneering and i'm from education.
however did not studied database at all in university.
if you are in my posiotion , what will you do
oracle developer from fucking egypt

Hi,
That is pretty annoying, when you have recent experience and have worked for three years, but for some reason, someone else gets the reward.
Sadly, it happens all the time. However, there are some things you can do:
* apply for other positions within the company
* apply for positions outside the company - that's a good way to make progress
* work on your technical skills, maybe an OCP
* work on your "soft" skills - things like communication can really help you "sell yourself"
* work on your qualifications - skip the engineering degree :-) and go for a Masters in IT or Business.
And finally, keep your motivation up, and keep your sense of perspective. The best resource for this (I don't know if you have seen it before) is this:

Help please on Observer / Observable and Serial Communications!

Help!
I have a project where I need a java application to talk to some test equipment via the serial port. I have studied the java comm api and played around with the SerialDemo example which I used to model my code.
I have a SeialConnection class which is very similar to the example except I made it to extend Observable and I have it notify observers when data is detected on the serial port.
I created a second class which extends Obserable which communicates with the SerialConnection and implemented the observer interface. This class process the incomming and outgoing data and provides some higher level methods, like getSerialNumber(), for my application to use. The application frame is an Observer of this class so the GUI can show the status as well.
An example method from this class:
private String Get590AROMString() {
SendString("EZR-V"); //Send a command to the s.p.
serialConnection.pause(750); //Basically a sleep(750)
return ROMVersion; //Return the data from update()
Excerpt from update method:
// If return from serialConnection starts with VER: parse the RV and SN.
if(T.startsWith("VER:")) {
ROMVersion = new String(T.substring(0,T.indexOf('~')));
SpeciesName = new String(T.substring(T.indexOf('~')+2));
return;
This works great when the test equipment sends a message or when the user selects a command from the program interface. My problem is when I try to send a command to the serial port from within the update method of the observer. There are instances where a result from the serial port needs to initiate another request for information.
Here is a fragment from the update method of the application frame:
public void update(Observable obs, Object obj) {
DensTalkStatus DTS;
if( obs==DT ) {
DTS = (DensTalkStatus)obj;
else if(DTS.GetStatus()==DensTalkStatus.NOTIFY_ZEROOK) {
if(FIRSTCONNECT590A) {
GDD.GetDensimeterInfo(); // *** This is the Request
GDD.SetDensID(EDM);
FIRSTCONNECT590A = false;
When I make a request for additional information from the serial port within the update method I get nothing returned and the requested data arrives later after the update method has completed.
I do not know the fine details of how the javax.comm or observer/obserable works but it appears to me that my strategy can only process one command at a time.
Can anyone think of a way to allow the application's frame update method to request information and wait for the data to be ready?
Does anybody have an example of how to do this type of communications?
I am sorry for the length of this question... Thank you for your time.
Doug

I have not received any suggestions yet on an alternate method for this problem, but I have come up with a solution I think will work. I am posting it here so others who have the same problem can at least see what path I followed...
The basic problem seems to be that I am trying to have my observer ask for information that requires the same observer / observable thread to respond.. duh! :) To requst additional information from the serial port I need to move the requests out of the update() method to a different thread.
I implemented the SerialWorker class to make the request so the observer update() method could return normally without waiting for the result of the new request.

PLEASE READ MY STORY AND HELP ME!

So here's my story:
A few months after I got my iPhone 3G I noticed that it had developed the infamous plastic crack. I contacted the Apple store and they assured me that it would get replaced because it was a known defect. I live about an hour and a half away from an Apple store so I've been putting it off.
A few month ago My iTunes started acting weirdly. Whenever I plugged my phone into it, it would crash. I managed to update it to iTunes 8.2 but the problem kept happening. This went on until I finally had enough of it. I researched several options of how to fix it from switching users on my computer to deauthorizing and reauthorizing my iTunes account to uninstalling and reinstalling. Finally something worked- I went into the list of programs that run on startup and followed instructions to disable some of them.
So now my iTunes didn't crash when I connected it to my iPhone and I started to download 3.0. I didn't get that far because whenever I would try to back it up, it would take tens of hours. Soon my computer was overheating and I had to stop it. I tried again several times all with the same result. I was getting so frustrated with this that I just turned off my backup.
But the problems continued. I finally got to what seemed like the end, but then the 3.0 update stopped for hours and hours on the 'Verifying iPhone update' scrolling bar.
I started researching this problem, on these forums and elsewhere and found no answers. Someone had said to hit ctrl-alt-delete during it, to get out. So frustratedly I did it.. and it stopped.
Now here is where I am now- I'm left with a phone that needs to be restored, but when I restore it it still freezes on the "Verifying" stage.
I was planning on going to the Apple store at some point before my warranty ran out to get the crack problem resolved, but this weekend I am busy and an hour and a half away from the nearest store. Is there anyway I can fix this so I have a phone until I can get to Apple? I can't call Apple because I don't have a home phone.

I would suggest setting up an appointment with a Mac Genius.

The Movie Creator development team has a Google+ Community where they communicate with their Beta test users. Anyone can join this group. In the community you are able to influence the coming software by giving feedback on the beta software or even propose new ideas for the application.
The information you give on this community is seen as very important but as the team is rather small it sometimes might take some time to get answers.
You will find more information about how to become a beta tester and the limitations that comes with it on the community.
Beta test will be started from End of May. Welcome!

Yes, I have also noticed this.. The problem I have is booking the exam. I went into my prometric account to see if I can book this exam, but unfortunately I couldn’t find it ?. Also does anybody know the cost of the exam in GBP, as I can only see reference to the price of the exam in USD.You need to book this through Pearson VUE. [http://www.pearsonvue.com/signin_en/] As a beta it is relatively cheap at under half of normal price. Lookup 1Z1-514-ENU.
Please note CFM normally slaps my wrist for pointing anyone at this exam! ;-)

I'd suggest to only do this with someone you know.
Ignore unsolicited requests...too many apps are hacked and put online and this can be a way to just make it easier.
Use redeem codes if you want to gift someone an app or provide an app for review, etc.
