Hello Treo Experts.
I have a Treo 700P.
It is full of contacts.
I have a new Outlook user profile and am unable to synchronize between the Treo and Outlook.
I deinstalled Palm SW and reinstalled it
I am about to 'syhncronize the Treo with my computer
my question is: Is this safe to do? I don't want to lose all my contacts on my Treo.
Any suggestions - greatly appreciated!

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. You should be fine, the contacts on the device should write to outlook and combine with what ever is in outlook.

You can not setup a new iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device (Mac or iPhone/iPad) to create the account, then sign into it using your PC.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
5) Install DTM to your PC
6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
7) Start the organizer configuration over:
KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Hopefully that will get things going again.
Good luck and let us know!

Need advice to deal with concurrency

Hi,
I just need you're advice on how I should handle concurrency. Iam doing ordering assignment, and I need to ensure concurrency. In my assignment concurrency comes into play if/when many customers try to order the same product but there is not enough product quantity.
At the moment I have made all my preparedstatement objects synchronized. Like following:
      synchronized(updateProductQuantity){
        updateProductQuantity.clearParameters();
        updateProductQuantity.setInt(1, prod_qty);
        updateProductQuantity.setInt(2, prod_no);
        updateProductQuantity.executeUpdate();
      }Iam wondering if this is enough. Do you think I should lock the database table?
Thanks for you're help!

What you have done there only ensures that one thread can execute that particular update at a time. You should do this regardless, since you wouldn't want two threads both getting into that code -- you might get prod_qty from one thread and prod_no from another thread.
However what you have done there doesn't prevent two customers from both ordering your last widget. And I don't think locking the table will help. What you need is a method that does this:
- Get the product record
- see if there is anything on hand
- if there isn't then set on the out-of-stock flag (or whatever)
- if there is then decrement the on-hand quantity and update the product record
And this entire method needs to be synchronized on some object.

Advice for Creating a Custom Default User Profile in Windows Enterprise 8/8.1 Preview

Just after some advice on the Best way to create a custom Default User Profile for our Windows 8 Enterprise Image.
We are also looking at the Windows 8.1 Enterprise preview so advice on creating a Default User profile for this would also be appreciated.
My Requirements are listed below
-Pinned Web sites that open in Windows 8 App style IE
-Default Windows 8 pre-installed Apps
-The Microsoft Lync Windows 8 Client from the App Store *I understand this would be tricky, not fussed though if it cant be done*
-Customised Start screen layout
I have tried the Copy Profile tag in the Unattend.xml and syspreped the machine, this did not work.
I have tried using the new "Start Screen Layout" Group Policy object, this also did not work
The Closest I can get was to setup a user profile, Backup the Default User profile, Rename the User I worked on to "Default", Clean up the temp folder, then navigate through the user registry and replaced any absolute profile paths with the %USERPROFILE%
variable. This worked in terms of setting the layout of the start screen, but the Lync App was not present, and Windows 8 apps, eg Video, Music and IE, would crash when attempting to open them.
I know I am doing something wrong, so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thankyou

Still not getting the results that I want, to recap I am trying to do the following.
Create a Windows 8.1 Enterprise Standard Operating Environment (SOE) Image for laptop devices at our school. These devices will be in the Students hands 24/7 and will be joined to our Windows 2012 based domain.
I am trying to create a custom Default user profile for the image so that when a student logs onto the Laptop for the first time they get a start screen that we have created.
The start screen consists of Pre-installed Modern Apps, a modern app created by our Software team that is side-loaded, Office 2013 Applications, and most importantly Tiles for Websites such as our Learning Management System and Intranet Portal.
Now to the issues
I boot the target system into Audit mode, and setup the start screen accordingly. For the Websites,
I open the websites in the IE11 Modern app and use the built in control to pin the site to the start screen. Everything goes and looks as expected.
I then run sysprep with a custom unattend.xml with copyprofile inside it. Again everything runs as expected.
Now when I create a new user on the system the custom start screen appears however the websites that were pinned are no longer on the start screen. BUT when I manually open the Modern IE11 app, navigate to the website and pin the site, The Tile now appears
on the start screen in the location I put it.
<Rant>
Now this puts us in a situation where we can no longer deliver a Standard Operating environment for not just our managed laptops but also our labs where a student just wants to logon and get to work.
Why as a Desktop and System Administrator, who manages a fleet of 300+ Desktops and 1000+ Laptops do I not have the full power to customise things they way I want them.
Yes I am aware of the new Group Policy setting for deploying Start screen configurations, Doesn't work when Web sites are pinned
Yes I am aware of AppsFolderLayout.bin, Doesn't work for Pinned sites.
Do the links above to Microsoft TechNet articles explaining how to customise Start Screens help, No they do not.
Finally I am aware that I can just create a shortcut to the websites and pin those, the issue is that this does not utilise the new Live Tile code that was introduced with IE11 and we plan to use these Tiles as another notification system for our staff and
students.
I will continue to work on this, if I manage to find a solution myself I will post the process, however if anyone in the community, or from Microsoft for that matter, has a proven solution to pinning websites to the default user profiles start screen, please
post it.
</Rant>
Thankyou

We are using SharePoint 2010 server with service pack 1 want to remove/delete old user profiles & site from server

Hi Team,
We are using SharePoint 2010 server with service pack 1, we want to remove/delete old user profiles, access & site from server
is there any script or feature available using that we can only remove dactivated/deleted/old user profiles, access & site.
Thanks
NPratik

Take a look at Metalogix ControlPoint, which will compare user accounts on SharePoint to Active Directory and remove accounts that no longer exist in AD (or are disabled).

Frustrated - Multiple issues with Fios TV/DVR - need advice on dealing with tech support

I have been a Verizon Fios customer since Feb. 20th (all of two and a half weeks). I signed up for my bundle on-line around 11am on the 20th, and had a technician out for install within a few hours on the SAME day. I thought that was impressive - and I was looking forward to having a more reliable and fast internet connection than I had been experiencing with Brighthouse.
The technician who installed was very friendly, and although he had some issues (apparently, there was a Verizon box in this house before us, but someone ripped it off the wall, so they had to run new wire all the way out to the street) the install went pretty quickly and smoothly.
The first few days went along without a problem, and the internet was great. Some of the functionality of the DVR was less than I'd hoped for, but some of the other features were great. I had a glitch trying to set up my online account, but I used the online chat feature to work with tech support and she was able to correct the issue. We noticed a couple times in the evenings that the TV would pixelate - but it only happened a few times and was very brief.
On Sunday the 26th, our real issues started. The live TV started freezing, then having a liquid-like pixelation problem, sometimes no sound. We tried to watch a recorded show from our DVR list and received error messages stating that we didn't have DVR. We called Verizon tech support and a very rude person reset the box several times and apparently even reinitialized the box and the result was that the box wouldn't even turn on anymore. He said that he'd have a new box shipped out to us and that it would arrive by Tuesday or Wednesday. My husband got on the phone at that point and suggested to him that since we were brand new customers (less than a week) and that since we had service installed on the very same day that we ordered it online, that certainly they could have someone bring us a new box on Monday morning. The technician told us that he would transfer us to the billing department because we could probably just cancel the service. We were both dumbfounded. Especially considering that he had been rude from the minute he took our call, and while we were obviously frustrated, we were never rude. We were eventually transferred to someone in billing who said she had never heard of such a thing and that she could not help us unless we wanted to cancel. While this was going on, I had unplugged the box again, let it sit for several minutes, then plugged it back in - and the tv worked. And the DVR worked. We assumed that maybe something the tech support guy did had worked after all. Well, it worked until the next morning. We had error messages saying we had no DVR. A reboot of the box worked again. After work, in the evening, it turned out that scheduled shows didn't record. So, we called tech support again and asked for our new box. We were told we'd have it by Thursday.
New box arrived Thursday and we set it up that evening. Went through trying to get all of our recordings set up again and finally sat down to watch tv. I switched to Showtime (which we are subscribed to in our package) and received an error that the channel was not available, press B to troubleshoot or call tech support with this code. Pressed B, went through the steps and the channel came back. Then, proceeded on to HBO, also part of our subscription - and we received the same error. We pressed B and this time going through the steps did NOT correct - so we called tech support. After working with the girl for over an hour, she finally determined that we needed to be switched to billing to have them remove our HBO package and then put it back on and that should correct the problem. So, while we were waiting for billing to come on the line, we started flipping channels again. Now, channels that had previously worked were now showing the error that the channel was unavailable - even non HD, non premium channels. When the billing girl got on the phone, she said there was really nothing she could do with that being the case and that downgrading our package and re-upgrading it would do nothing - that we needed technical support. She got us on the line with a different tech support person who said that we were obviously having signal related issues and that we needed a tech to come out to look at the wiring. He scheduled an appointment for us for Friday. That call took over 2 hours.
On Friday, the tech came out and spent time checking all of the wires coming in to the house - he said we had multiple splitters on lines that didn't need splitters and that this was likely causing a signal disruption and was probably the cause of the failure on both boxes. He removed some of the splitters and apparently streamlined some of the wiring. We still had the original box and the new box. He hooked up each box and they both worked - all of our premium channels worked, DVR was good, etc. We boxed up the old box to send back, kept the new box and had tv that worked just fine for a few hours... then we started having the channel not available issues again. And, now - we were also getting messages saying that we weren't subscribed to a channel - and this would range from HBO all the way to a non HD standard tv channel. A reboot will work and restore function - for a while. However - scheduled shows aren't recording - or record for 7 seconds and stop. Or record for a while, then have a 20 minute gap in the middle where it's frozen, etc. This has been going on since a few hours after the technician left Friday evening. And, I have to say - when the tech left Friday - everhything seemed fine. He had tested the signal strength - seemed completely thorough and was very nice. I don't think he could have known, at that time, that the problem wasn't fixed.
We have not called back to tech support yet. We're busy with our work and our lives and we're also frustrated. I know it will take another several hours and don't have much faith that there is any resolution. It seems to me that we probably need the whole house completely rewired - brand new - start over. I'm thinking there's a bad wire in there somewhere.
This morning with my coffee before work, I tried to watch a tv show in my DVR list that apparently didn't record properly - no surprise (it froze and skipped over half the show). So, I went to On Demand and found the show. (Without Bay News 9, I'm kind of lost with morning coffee, so I need a show of some kind) It started to play and was going along just fine, till I received a CableCARD (tm) Pairing Information is not available message. I tried the auto fix in the menu, rebooted, etc. It worked for a few minutes, then stopped again. At one point, I got an error saying the set top box lost video due to a network connection failure. Great, does that mean my internet is going bad too?? While looking around in the menu function, I clicked on the self diagnostics feature. It filled in all the information, as I'd seen it do before - except when it got to the package description. This time, instead of Ultimate HD, HBO, VOD, etc., etc (like I'd seen before). it told me that my package is: Arabic, Armenian, ART (Arabic), Extreme HD, HBO, Prime & Ultimate HD, Prime HD, RA, RAI (Italian), etc., etc. Huh??? Really???
So, I'm not sure now what the deal is - would a signal issue cause my subscription package to change? Do I get on the phone with someone at tech support for another few hours? Are they going to send yet another box? Are they going to come re-wire the whole house? Is it worth it? This is really ridiculous. Do I cancel and go back to Brighthouse with my tail between my legs? At least with them, I knew that my internet connection would be wicked slow at certain times of the day, but at least I knew it was coming and could expect it - and I could at least count on my tv and dvr recording my shows.
When I logged into verizon to vent on this forum, my account said that it was unable to access my DVR. When I clicked on manage my DVR, it just says Bad Gateway. Not a great start to our relationship, Verizon.
I really need some advice. Should I stay or should I go? And, if I stay - what is the best way for me to explain this to tech support so they will do the right thing and fix this? And, what is "this" anyway? Bad box, bad wiring?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Need advice, sql server with asp or oracle with asp

hi !
i have been given a task to improve the design of a sql server database with more than 1 million records, front end is asp (code has to be written also, keeping user interface same). I would like to use oracle with asp, is it practical or should i go for sql server. i need your advice.
thanks in advance
lavinder

Depends on your definition of "practical".
My guess is that most of the work will be porting your back-end code from SQL*Server to Oracle. The Migration Workbench can help here, but there are often things that you do in SQL*Server code that you really don't want to do in Oracle code (i.e. frequent commits).
There is a good chance that you'd be able to improve the scalability of the application faster by fixing the problems that exist in the SQL*Server implementation. I think Oracle is inherently a much more scalable platform than SQL*Server, however, so I'm not trying to dissuade you from moving. It really depends on the end state you need to achieve and the amount of time & effort you're willing to put forward.

Treo 700p IMAP values needed

In need of help setting up email access from a treo700 on the palm o/s. VersaMail installed and am trying to configure an IMAP account...cannot get the right combination of settings. Here are the fields "Username:", Password (assuming SSO Login), email address, Incoming Mail Server, Outgoing mail server, Incoming Mail Port Number, Secure Connection (SSL) y/n, Outgoing Mail Port Number, Secure Connection (SSL) y/n, Use Authentication (ESMTP) y/n.
Help is much appreciated! Chris A

Hi Chris,
well the the only thing unusual is that you need the full e-mail address as the username. I have used my Treo 650 with Versamail until I came across some other products. The one I liked best is Chatter Email. This is kind of a push-like e-mail client for the Treo and it might work as well on the Treo 700.
Let me know, if you need more helpo with Versamail, though.
Cheers,
Budy

Econometrics/Statistical computaion with Java - Need advice

Dear All,
I need to perform econometrics/statistical computaion for the bank. We were using Matlab from MathWorks.com. Recently, we are planning to perform computation with java instead of Matlab.
e.g. below is the sample equation that I want to evaluate in java -
∆Φ_^(-1) (SDP_t )_ =B_1 〖∆SDF〗_(t-1 )+ B_2 〖∆XXX〗_(t-2 ) + B_3 〖∆linear〗_(t-1)+B_4 〖∆Linear〗_(t-2)
+Z_m
My question is, I have not found API in java though which I can perform calculation. Also, we are performing this type of computation first time in java, does java supports all statistics calculation like standard deviation, mean distribution et cetera.
I came across Apache commons-maths library which provides class related to maths/statistics. (http://commons.apache.org/math/api-1.2/index.html)
Has anyone performed statistics/equation evaluation in java or with Apache commons-maths? Please share your thought?
I appreciate your time reading my post.

the concept of mean distribution must be sth in econometrics that hasn't caught on.
Java math does not define standard deviation or any other stat methods. it's quite easy to program though. to do linear algebra and optimization you will need to call C or Fortran libraries from java. no need to reinvent the wheel.

Need advice on going with 10g vs 11i for PeopleSoft 9.0 and tools version.

Hi,
My company is currently on PeopleSoft 8.9 with peopletools 8.48. We are looking to upgrade our Application, Database and tools set. For anyone that has already or is in theprocess of converting to PeopleSoft 9.0, could you let me know what version or Oracle your company selected along with waht tools version and why you made these selections. In addition any lessons learned would be of great help.
Thank you,
Maryanne

If you are moving to Peoplesoft 9.0, why not using Peopletools 8.49 and Oracle 11g ?
If the Peopletools version 8.49 is not questionnable from my point of view, available for several years and now most of the bugs are fixed - means it is robust, the main question will be for 11g of Oracle.
Should we go to the latest patchset of 10.2 or for the first patchset of 11g ?
However, if you're in the beginning of the project, I would go for 11g, the second patchset will come out in few months time (I would bet before the end of the year - just my opinion -), and it will be easier to upgrade your db version at that time to a newer patchset than manage a version upgrade from 10g to 11g.
Always keep in mind than a Peoplesoft application is working for many years, and upgrade the version of database is not always neutral in terms of time and costs.

Need Advice 2 computers with 3g setup

Morning all just wanted to see what I should do with getting the same data on both computers. My MacPro is in NY waiting for me to do a big shooting job and has not been updated to 7.7 Itunes but I did but the Iphone 3g from the original version and everything is rigged up to my MacBook Pro right now. I get to NY tomorrow and that is my main computer so I want to normally use the MacPro for the Iphone. Question I have what is the bet way to get this done. I would think update to the new Version 7.7 first than do a synce so all that correct data from Mobile me gets on the MacPro. Than do i setup the 3g as a new phone or what should I be doing here.
Or my other thought and not sure this would work is go to my user folder take the Itunes from the MacBook Pro and replace the MacPro with it, will the updates be there and the Iphone backup stuff.
Any help would be appreciated but what is the proper way of doing this.

In my view, the extra money for 7% (or whatever it is) extra performance isn't really worth it. Obviously, if you want the fastest you can get, then go for the more expensive one.
The VRAM really doesn't mean much unless you are using your computer for games (or perhaps some hardcore graphics stuff like Motion which will benefit from it). Regular applications won't benefit at all from the extra VRAM, and the 2.2 will drive big monitors quite happily.
I actually went to the Apple Store last week and played with one of the new MBP's, and in doing the research I was set on a matte screen, now I'm not so sure - it was nice graphically with the glossy. I'll make that decision when I have to...
It was funny watching people all crowding round the MBP's - most people were running Safari, iTunes and stuff, and there's me loading up and creating with Logic, then FCP, then Shake, then Colour, then Motion, all the hard core apps - I think they thought I was some kind of professional or something...
I will be getting a 2.2 when the issues and the component shortages are sorted out...

WITH CLAUSES - need advice

Recently we found that the server converts all the request to 'with clauses' format in the physical query even if the request does not contain any subquery. I am bit concerned on this as some article suggest that there is a limitation in using with clauses and it can return unexpected results. Could this change in behavior cause some problem?

Hi all,
We are currently using ORACLE 10g.
For ex the original query for a specific report would look like
select distinct D1.c1 as c1,
D1.c2 as c2
from
(select distinct T41994.NAME as c1,
T41994.LOC as c2
from
(SELECT
A.*,
ORA62102.F_UTC2LOCAL(A.CREATED_TS,'(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana') AS CREATED_LCL,
ORA62102.F_UTC2LOCAL(A.LAST_UPD,'(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana') AS LAST_UPD_LCL,
ORA62102.F_UTC2LOCAL(A.REFERENCE_START_DT,'(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana') AS REFERENCE_START_DT_LCL,
ORA62102.F_UTC2LOCAL(A.INDEXED_DATE_0,'(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana') AS INDEXED_DATE_0_LCL
FROM ORA62102.S_ORG_EXT A) T41994
where ( T41994.BU_ID = '1-D3DGK' and T41994.DELETED_STATE = 'N' )
) D1
Now the query is changed to the following format
WITH
SAWITH0 AS (select distinct T41994.NAME as c1,
T41994.LOC as c2
from
(SELECT
A.*,
ORA62105.F_UTC2LOCAL(A.CREATED_TS,'(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana') AS CREATED_LCL,
ORA62105.F_UTC2LOCAL(A.LAST_UPD,'(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana') AS LAST_UPD_LCL,
ORA62105.F_UTC2LOCAL(A.REFERENCE_START_DT,'(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana') AS REFERENCE_START_DT_LCL,
ORA62105.F_UTC2LOCAL(A.INDEXED_DATE_0,'(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana') AS INDEXED_DATE_0_LCL
FROM ORA62105.S_ORG_EXT A) T41994
where ( T41994.BU_ID = '1-D3DGK' and T41994.DELETED_STATE = 'N' ) )
select distinct SAWITH0.c1 as c1,
SAWITH0.c2 as c2
from
SAWITH0
Even if I select 2 columns from a table , the select clause in the physical query in OBI server contains 'with clause'.

Thank you .

I need advice on buying a new computer and monitor.

Without going into huge detail, I am ready to buy a new desktop for my photography hobby. I am still running
CS3 (hoping that will work with Windows 7?), Corel Paint Shop Pro X (yeah, I know I have really old software, but I
don't feel the need to upgrade just yet), Picasa, and all the software that comes with my Canon 40D. I take all my pics in
.raw and then edit/convert. I have a 1 terabyte eternal drive where I store my photos, but editing from that source is S-L-O-W.
Someone mentioned on another site something about aneSata drive. Need more info. (I want an easy way to backup my
photos monthly, because I have a fear of someone breaking in my home, stealing my pc and then all my photos are gone.
With the external drive, I can put it in my safe deposit box.)
I want a monitor (preferably not widescreen) that will be accurate with color and not have a glare, maybe 20" or so. I print photos at home on my HP Photosmart printer, but I also have some printed professionally. I would like recommendations on monitor calibration gadgets/software
so that what I see is very close to what will print.
This computer will have MSOffice 2010 on it. Will have quite a few other softwares on it that are currently on my old pc.
We don't watch movies on the PC or do any gaming so the video card will mainly be used for photography and some light video use. We do skype.
Would like to stay in the range of $1500-2000 if possible. I've basically purchased Dell's in the past due to the ease of designing my system,
but I have had two lemons and am certainly not tied to Dell.
I know I want a wireless mouse/keyboard. Currently have Dell Speakers 5/1, which are decent enough for my use, as long as I can connect them to my
new PC.
Thanks for good advice!! (And I want this PC to last me about 5 years so I would guess I need at least 8 g ram, 3.5 GHz processor, preferably Intel.
Also want 4 or more USB ports on the front or side, as my PC location is not suitable to use the back ports easily.) Thank you!

I've taken quite a "non-standard" approach to this... a little while back I purchased a powerful Dell Precision T5400 workstation that's come off lease from eBay, then populated it with good hardware. Result? Dual quad core Xeon 3.16 GHz 16 GB system with 3 TB of internal RAID disk storage and a good modern video card for about $1500. This is a system that would have sold new for probably $6,000 just a few years ago.
I didn't have to buy any of the external stuff (monitor, backup drives, keyboard/mouse, etc.) because I upgraded from an existing workstation and was able to re-use all that stuff, plus one 1 TB drive from the old system - which I then sold for $700 to recoup some of the cost (total outlay was then only $800).
I describe the system and how I put it together in some detail here:

This is a far more powerful system than anything I could get new for the same price.
Just a quick glance at eBay and I see that some T5500 workstations are becoming available for reasonable prices now. I see, for example, a dual quad system with 12 GB of RAM for a Buy It Now price of a hair over $1000.
