UKOUG Conference Series Hyperion & BI 2009 - 24th & 25th June @ Twickenham

Apologies for the blatant plug, but felt it was worth posting - especially for UK based people.
If you haven't heard about it already, UKOUG are holding a Conference for all Hyperion & BI users on 24th & 25th June 2009 at Twickenham Stadium. If you are unfamiliar with the UKOUG they are a strong voice in the Oracle community and have been established for over 25 years.
The great thing about this event is that the agenda for this Conference is chosen by a committee made up of customers and partners, of which I am part of. We chose an agenda that we feel would be of great benefit to the majority of people who will attend and will hopefully enable you to update knowledge and skills whilst networking with other Hyperion professionals.
Please follow the below link for more details and to sign up:

I hope to see you there, I will be introducing speakers on the day and presenting on ODI as well as a great Essbase case study.

Andy,
While the conference looks good, you are competing with the best technical Hyperion conference around ODTUGs kaleidoscope conference it is from June 21st to June 25th in beautiful Monterey California. There is a full sunday symposium with Oracle developers on what is comming out in the next two years, the 4 action packed days with three tracks and hands on labs. While I would love to attend the UKOUG conference all the cool kids will be at Kaleidoscope including all of the ORacle Ace and Ace Directors in the space.

  • AUSOUG/OAUG 2006 Australian conference - database content

    The AUSOUG and OAUG committees are very excited to announce the Australian 2006 conference series is less than three months away. While our American neighbours are focusing on Oracle OpenWorld in October, and our UKOUG friends on their (extended!) November conference, Australians will not miss out with the largest Oracle user group conference in Australia to date. This year we're condensing our content into two key conferences, in Melbourne 2/3rd November and Perth 8/9th November, a East Coast to West Coast series of the best presentations by Australian and overseas Oracle talent.
    The Melbourne and Perth schedules are now available at: http://www.ausoug.org.au/2020
    We've attracted some great speakers this year. Following is a small extract of this year's speakers:
    • Connor McDonald member of the Oaktable, co-author of "Oracle Insight: Tales of the OakTable" and "Mastering Oracle PL/SQL: Practical Solutions"
    • Oracle Magazine Educator of the Year 2004 Penny Cookson, winner of best paper awards at 4 APAC OpenWorld .
    • Oracle Magazine PL/SQL Developer of Year 2004 award winner Marcel Kratochvil, also joint winner of the 1999 best paper at Oracle OpenWorld.
    • Anjo Kolk, well known for Oracle performance tuning, great supporter of the UKOUG, IOUG and Oracle OpenWorld, and a member of the Oaktable
    • Oracle Magazine DBA of the Year 2004 winner John MacAskill.

  • AUSOUG/OAUG 2006 Australian conference - JDeveloper content

    The AUSOUG and OAUG committees are very excited to announce the 2006 conference series is less than three months away. While our American neighbours are focusing on Oracle OpenWorld in October, and our UKOUG friends on their (extended!) November conference, Australians will not miss out with the largest Oracle user group conference in Australia to date.

    The Melbourne and Perth schedules are now available at: http://www.ausoug.org.au/2020
    In particular Australian JDeveloper users should be interested in the following presentations:
    • Chris Schalk, JDeveloper Principal Product Manager at Oracle Corporation co-author of "JavaServer Faces: The Complete Reference" and Java evangelist for Oracle's Application Server and JDeveloper will be presenting exclusively in Perth on "JDeveloper 10.1.3", "Lockdown! Securing your ADF Applications" and "Developing JavaServer Faces applications with Oracle". Can anybody say AJAX? But don't worry Melbourne because Oracle has kindly agreed to fly in Lynn Munsinger from the USA, Principal Product Manager in the JDeveloper development team at Oracle, specializing in EJB, TopLink, ADF, and ADF Faces and author of Oracle University courses, including, "Oracle10g: Build J2EE Applications".
    • Oracle Magazine Educator of the Year 2004 Penny Cookson, winner of best paper awards at 4 APAC OpenWorld will be presenting on "Old Forms programmers never die, they just switch to JDeveloper (a view of the ADF framework for Forms developers)"
    • In turn two local members Brenden Anstey and Ray Tindall will be presenting on "ADF Development Best Practices – Starting out with a new technology" and "Active Directory Integration - OID & AD in Harmony".
    That represents great support for Oracle and great JDeveloper content for developers.

    I think this is a great opportunity to get face to face with my collegues in Oracle Product Management to get the inside track on the technologies and learn, not only how to use them, but where they are moving in the future...
    Best of luck with the event Chris.

  • Is the HP Photosmart Premium series C309 compatible with chromebooks

    I just bought a Samsung Chromebook -Is my current printer compatible? Its an HP Photosmart Premium series-C309 from 2009
    If not then can I download software or do I need to get a new printer?-thanks for your time!

    Hello lths,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    The Photosmart Premium C309 would not be compatible with the Chromebooks in the traditional way. With that being said, you can attempt to add the printer to Google Cloud Print. The steps are shown here: Using Google Cloud Print with your HP Printer, under HP classic printers.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Please always give your database version, it'll help us giving you a relevant solution.
    Assuming you can use analytic functions, here's a solution using a "tabibitosan" method :
    with sample_data as (
      select '01-jan-2009' mon,  'N' status from dual union all
      select '01-feb-2009', 'N' from dual union all
      select '01-mar-2009', 'Y' from dual union all
      select '01-may-2009', 'Y' from dual union all
      select '01-jun-2009', 'N' from dual union all
      select '01-jul-2009', 'N' from dual union all
      select '01-aug-2009', 'N' from dual
    -- end of sample data
    select min(mon) start_dt
    ,      max(mon) end_dt
    ,      status
    from (
      select to_date(mon,'dd-mon-yyyy') mon
      ,      status
      ,      row_number() over(order by to_date(mon,'dd-mon-yyyy'))
             - row_number() over(partition by status order by to_date(mon,'dd-mon-yyyy')) as d
      from sample_data
    group by status, d
    order by start_dt
    START_DT    END_DT      STATUS
    01/01/2009  01/02/2009  N
    01/03/2009  01/05/2009  Y
    01/06/2009  01/08/2009  NI also assumed the date is stored in a VARCHAR2 column. If that's not the case, just remove TO_DATE function.

  • Update requires a valid UpdateCommand when passed DataRow collection with modified rows.

    It is my
    understanding that when using a TableAdapter and selecting the proper
    options, Insert, Delete and Update statements are generated. The
    Update statement should work just using the following:
    myTableAdapter.Update(changes);
    Where changes is the DataSet containing the modified data.
    This logic works great for one of the tables in the DB but not for another.
    Learning this new stuff is Confusing at best - Frustrating at worst.
    Help appreciated,

  • Great Training opportunity  - ODTUG

    There are a ton of threads on this and other forums about training. Better than going to an individual training class is to attend the ODTUG Kaleidoscope conference. Not only is it cheaper, but you will get more out if it.
    As of today, more has been confirmed for theconference. This is the best technical conference for Hyperion products. You can read about the latest updates on my blog at http://glennschwartzbergs-essbase-blog.blogspot.com/
    You can all of the conference details at http://www.odtugkaleidoscope.com/index.html

    I just made an update on my blog as well.
    Check out: http://garycris.blogspot.com/2009/02/some-tips-for-kaleidoscope-2009.html
    Unlike some of the other posts informing you of all the great content, I put together a list of tips to help get your employer to approve your trip. Funds are very tight this year, but you don't want to let that stop you from attending this conference. Check out my list and see if it can help you get your trip approved.

  • Forms users that need a overview of new tehnology

    Hi all,
    We have a working system that has been developed in Oracle Forms/Reports running on oracle app server 10g. We are considering moving into JDeveloper to give us more functionality and a more up to date look and feel.
    All our businees logic is within the Forms and we understand our only way forward is to rewrite the system.
    We are considering hosting internally and allowing our customers to log onto an area where they can use our system (an ERP system).
    We have started looking into the latest technologies and are getting a little bemused by the huge amounts of technologies Oracle provides!
    We assumed the natural step would be to rewrite our new application in Jdeveloper and ADF. But we are seeing lots of other acronyms and technologies listed whenever we try and find a simple tutorial.
    Things like AJAX, APEX, TopLink, ADF Faces, Java Faces are spoken about regularly but we can not find some comprehensive information relating to what all these do and how they fit in with one another.
    We could do with some help pointing us in the direction of some good simple overviews and demos/tutorials if possible.
    We have installed 11g Web logic and set this up ready.
    Sorry if this has been asked before or if its in the incorrect forum but some friendly advice and info from people in a similar boat to us would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    There is nothing to stop you sharing but ideally the afternoon will be "hands on" so its always good to be able to drive your own way around the IDE (but not essential). (I certainly wouldn't have more than two people to a laptop). If you can get a laptop I think it would really be worth the effort.
    As for reading, I would suggest a couple of the papers on the OTN page I pointed you to (there are also some tutorials on the right hand side).
    My blog has a few things of interest as well http://www.groundside.com
    Could also go for this book
    http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-JDeveloper-10g-Forms-Developers/dp/product-description/0072259604
    Its about to be released and updated in the next couple of weeks so I'd be more tempted to search ebay for a cheap 2nd hand one or wait a month or so for the updated version
    http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-JDeveloper-11g-Handbook-Development/dp/0071602380/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253030758&sr=1-4
    The other thing you might want to consider is that the UKOUG are running a SIG on the 27th Oct at which I will be presenting "ADF for PL/SQL dummies". If you are a member of the UKOUG (or even if you are not) it might be worth signing up for that. Details on the UKOUG website.
    I'm also doing an ADF masterclass at the main UKOUG conference in Nov/Dec in Birmingham
    Given the training in London is free, if you can, get as many people from your project on as possible - its not often you get completely free training like this ;o)
    Hope that helps

  • Hockey on FIOS

    Just checked NJ Devils schedule for playoffs and I see that the games are on TSN2. Where is that on my lineup, if you tell me it is NHL Network you will have one VERY upset customer. The only way for me to get NHL Network is to add the Sports package (7.99). That is OUTRAGEOUS! They are on MSG Plus all season and now I have to pay an additional $7.99 to see them in the playoffs. I have to endure them in Standard Defination, because you get get a contract with Cablevision. You call yourself a HD leader! 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It is not so much Verizon as the NHL has their post-season contracts with certain networks, and those don't include the local networks.  TSN, Versus, and NBC are basically exclusive rights holders to the playoff games.  The league decided that the two Eastern Conference Series that would be the big ones in the first round were the Flyers/Pens and the Capitals/Rangers.  Might get better coverage when the Devils get past the Hurricanes.

  • HP Connected server issues

    My printer has been working well *. since I purchased it earlier this year. until about a week ago when I upgraded to the next level Instant Ink plan. Since then when I try to print the display on the printer shows a rotating circle with the word Printing. This remains for around 2 minutes, without printing anything, and then I get a message on the display that tells me that "The printer cannot connect to HP Connected". At the same time I get a pop up on my PC that "warns me" that the printer cannot connect to HP Connected and that this may cause my printer to stop printing. The terrible message concludes with the meaningless "OK" statement, having urged me to follow the printer's on screen display to make the connection.  When I try to follow the instructions on the printer it merely confirms that the printer is connected. I usually cancel out of the setup and then, as if by magic, whatever I tried to print suddenly starts printing.  So, my questions are?
    1) Is this a common or at least know problem?
    2) Is it caused by my having changed Instant Ink plans and if so what has HP done to cause this?
    3) I have not knowingly changed anything on my system other than the HP Instank Ink plan so why does the printer no longer connect to the HP Connected server to update that system with details of my print usage?
    4) Is there a fix/workaround that will prevent me from having to manually coax my printer to work again?
    I have already used the HP Updates function and have reset/restarted both the wireless router and my PC.
    * I do occasionally get messages saying that the scan function isn't available because it's lost connectivity but this seems to rectify itself without having to do anything else.

    Hello GaryG888,

  • Another W530 Review

    Lenovo Thinkpad W530 Review
    by Djembe
    One of the longest and most enduring brands in computers is Thinkpad.  Originally developed by IBM in the USA, Thinkpad notebook computers are now manufactured by the Chinese company Lenovo.  The W series debuted in 2009 as the highest-end Thinkpads offered.  They came with the same patented Thinkpad technologies, such as an internal rollcage and shock-mounted hard drives.  However, they also offered competitive workstation-class graphics cards with drivers optimized for professional graphics work. 
    The W530 is the latest in that line, and it looks almost identical to its predecessor, the W520, with three differences.  Two of these differences are ports: thefull-size DisplayPort of the W520 was replaced with a mini DisplayPort in the W530 and eSATA was eliminated.  The third change is the most noticeable and it has caused some consternation among Thinkpad traditionalists: the traditional Thinkpad keyboard has been replaced by a chiclet-style keyboard with one fewer row.  Does the new keyboard live up to its predecessor?  And is the notebook as a whole a worthwhile addition to the Thinkpad lineup?  Read on to find out. 
    Specs
    My W530 came with the following specifications:
     Intel Core i7-3720QM processor
    Nvidia K2000M graphics
    15.6” 1920x1080 screen
    500GB 7200RPM hard drive
    4GB memory
    Bluetooth 4.0
    Intel Ultimate 6300 wireless card
    DVD burner
    9-cell battery
    Since Lenovo (like virtually every other configurable computer company) vastly overcharges for memory upgrades, I upgraded the memory and storage myself.  Lenovo provides an excellent installation guide for how to do this, which includes instructions for how to replace even the most difficult of items.  Upgrading to a system-maximum 32GB RAM and a 256GB Samsung 830 series SSD was a simple operation. 
    Design and Build Quality
    Lenovo advertises that Thinkpads are designed to withstand use by the military.  While they are not marketed as rugged notebooks, Thinkpads are expected to be well-built, high quality systems.  In general, the W530 does not disappoint in this.  The chassis is very rigid and does a very good job of protecting the internal components.   I was only able to make the screen image distort when pushing very hard on the back of the lid, and even then, I could only make the image distort when I pressed close to the upper corners.  The hinges are solid and easily hold the notebook lid open at any angle.  Vigorous shaking will cause the screen angle to shift, but it never appears to be the slightest bit wobbly or unsteady.  There is minimal flex anywhere in the chassis.  The W530 is a very well built machine.  The only potential detraction from perfection is that there does seem to be a small amount of wiggle room around the 9-cell battery (which protrudes approximately an inch out the back of the system), but I had no difficulty at all in holding the system up only by the battery and rocking it back and forth.  No disconnections occurred and nothing gave any hint of coming apart or breaking.  As a result, I can confidently say that the small amount of wiggle around the battery does nothing to mar the stellar build quality of the W530. 
    As to design, Thinkpads have looked basically the same for the last 10 years or longer, so you know what to expect.  At 1.4 inches think, the system is almost twice as thick as many Ultrabooks, but still thinner than some gaming systems with similar performance.  You won’t find aluminum highlights or lighted logos on the W530, but the matte black W530 has an understated look that is appropriate in most environments.

    The screen on a notebook is an important aspect, since it’s what you’ll be looking at for the majority of the time you’re using the system (except when you’ve got it attached to an external display).  Lenovo offers three screen options for the W530, and I chose the high-resolution 1920x1080 matte display option.  The higher-end screen also has increased brightness over Lenovo’s other screen options, up to 270 nits.  The screen is model number B156HW01 v4 from AU Optronics, which was also used in the last two generations of W-series Thinkpads: the W510 and W520.  So why did they use the same screen?  As the saying goes, if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.  The screen is bright enough that I only use it on full brightness if I’m using it outside.  For the record, it is sunlight-readable at maximum brightness, although it has a tendency to look a little washed out in bright sunlight.  In all other circumstances, the screen looks very good.  It also has good viewing angles, maintaining color integrity (no color inversion) even at extreme horizontal angles.  Vertical angles are not as forgiving, but the screen definitely has a much larger “sweet spot” than most, it is evenly lit (less than 10% difference between brightest spot and dimmest spot, according to Notebook Check), and its 95% Adobe RGB color gamut means colors are rich and vibrant. 
    Keyboard, Touchpad, and Trackpoint
    The keyboard is new for this year’s Thinkpads, and even though it loses a row of function keys, it retains the comfort and ease of typing found on previous Thinkpad keyboards.  The keys have adequate travel and typing is an effortless experience.  I find myself making significantly less typing mistakes due to accidental keypresses or overlaps while using the W530 than with most other computers that I’ve used.  And it comes with an additional bonus: the new keyboard, unlike the previous one, is backlit.  The backlighting is customizable in three steps: low backlight, high backlight, and Thinklight, a small light built into the lid that shines down on the keyboard area.  Personally, I find the Thinklight somewhat distracting, since it highlights my hands much more effectively than it highlights the keys underneath them.  However, the keyboard backlighting is done very well and allows for easy key identification in any lighting conditions. 
    The touchpad is textured, and easily accommodates multitouch gestures.  However, I prefer smooth touchpads and the one on the W530 does not seem as responsive as some of the Asus touchpads I’ve used.  For most gaming or other situations where precise control is needed, I would elect for an external mouse.  However, in its favor, the W530 has dedicated touchpad buttons – two sets, no less!  Another of my personal preferences is that I abhore clickpads.  As an example, I find using Macbook Pros to be annoying due to the fact that you need to press down on the whole clickpad in order to register an action.  The twin sets of left and right click buttons on the W530 are easy to press and responsive. 
    Additionally, since this is a Thinkpad, it contains a little round nub between the G and H keys that allows for alternate cursor control.  It’s called a trackpoint, and is one of the IBM-patented features that is found in a number of business notebooks today.  I very rarely use this while websurfing or working with productivity applications, but I found it to be significantly more useful than the touchpad while playing Portal 2 and I ended up using the trackpoint throughout the game. 
    Connections
    The W530 has a full selection of ports.  On the right side of the notebook, you can find the DVD tray, Ethernet, the combined headphone/microphone port, a card reader, and an ExpressCard slot.  The left side holds 3 USB ports, two of which are the latest USB 3.0 spec.  Also on the left side are VGA, mini DisplayPort, IEEE 1394 (Firewire), a hardware wireless switch, and the exhaust vent.  The vent makes a very effective hand warmer, if you are doing anything resource-intensive.  On the back, in addition to the battery, there is the power plug and a yellow USB 2.0 port that can remain powered even when the system is turned off in order to easily charge cell phones, tablets, or other USB-powered peripherals. 
    Performance
    Three years ago, the first time I tested a system with a quad-core processor, I was disappointed because there was no noticeable performance increase.   Intel has done some improvements with their quads since then and the i7-3720 performs admirably.  Its default clock speed is 2.6 Ghz, however it happily will use Turbo Boost to overclock up to 3.6 Ghz as the cooling allows.  Under maximum load with all cores via Prime 95, the CPU still maintains an overclock to 3 Ghz.  I must mention, though, that this is all when the system is plugged in.  In order to preserve battery life, Lenovo has limited the CPU to slightly under half its default clock speed while on battery power.  This means that even with a high CPU load, the processor will not go faster than 1.2 Ghz while on battery.  To benchmark the processor, I used Geekbench, an OS-agnostic CPU performance benchmark tool.  The i7-3720QM scored 10870 plugged in and only 4100 when unplugged, so the difference in CPU capacity is clear.  But even with this difference, I have found that this limitation actually has comparatively little effect on my usage while on battery.  Games, for instance, run perfectly well on battery power.  For those who need more processing power unplugged, you can remove this limitation with a program called Throttle Stop.  Of course, it goes without saying that running heavy CPU-intensive programs will drastically reduce the battery life. 
    The W530 comes with an Nvidia Quadro K2000M and uses Nvidia’s Optimus graphics switching to go between the dedicated graphics and the integrated Intel 4000 graphics, according to program need.  In my experience, Optimus seems to switch graphics adapters in a logical manner according to program need, but in the case that it chooses the wrong graphics adapter for the program you need, you can set up program-specific preferences to use either integrated or dedicated graphics as desired.  The K2000M is based on Nvidia’s Kepler architecture and 28nm process technology.  As a professional GPU, it is aimed more at content creation than content consumption.  Still, the K2000M is a capable midrange graphics card, able to play all the latest games at medium-high settings.  The K2000M has comparable performance to the Fermi-based 560M and is a little bit less powerful than the Kepler-based 650M.  Portal 2 can be played at fluid framerates at native resolution and maximum settings.  Starcraft 2 is playable on native resolution at maximum settings, but some more demanding sections are not fluid (30+ FPS), so I lowered to high settings and everything runs smoothly.  Civilization 5 runs smoothly at medium-high settings, and Dragon Age: Origins works well at near maximum settings, all on native resolution.  The system scores right around 2000 points in 3DMark 11, varying from 1970 to 2053. 
    The Samsung 830 SSD contributes a lot toward making the system feel fast.  The system boots in approximately 32 seconds from pressing the power button to everything loaded in the Windows desktop and shuts down in 14 seconds.  On battery power, these numbers rise slightly with 45 seconds to start and 17 seconds to shut down.  The SSD also allows for higher scores in PCMark 7.  And speaking of PCMark 7, I experienced a curious thing when running the benchmark multiple times on two different W530 units.  The first W530 provided a very respectable top score of 4910 in the benchmark, which is roughly the same as scores by the new Retina Macbook Pro.  However, the second W530 on which I ran the benchmark netted a score of 6765, which is, as of the date of this review,  the highest score among systems with the Intel Core i7 3720QM processor. 
    Audio
    The W530 comes with Dolby Home Theater v4, which allows music and video to sound quite good.  There are three presets as well as a graphic equalizer that comes with the software.  While bass is lacking compared to any dedicated speakers, this is a common situation in notebooks and bass in the W530 is better than most.  Overall, the W530 has very acceptable audio at reasonable volume. 
    Heat and Noise
    The fan on the W530 is always on by default, and its 2700RPM minimum rotation speed is loud enough to be noticeable in a quiet room.  Under maximum load, the fan can ramp up to 4200RPM, which makes it louder but never really unpleasant.  Still, in order to reduce the fan noise when the system did not need it, I installed Thinkpad Fan Control, which allowed me to set my own temperature points and fan speed levels.  As a result, the notebook is completely quiet as long as the processor is under 55 degrees Celsius.  Further, the fan is very effective and able to quickly cool the processor and video card without significantly heating up the rest of the chassis.  Under maximum load (Prime 95 + Furmark), the keyboard only felt slightly warm, and the only really hot area on the notebook was immediately above the exhaust vent.  Under normal use, the notebook remains cool and as comfortable to use on my lap as it is on a table. 
    Battery Life
    My W530 came with a 9-cell battery rated for 94 Watt-hours.  While playing games such as Starcraft 2, the battery lasts approximately 2 hours.  Playing DVDs at full brightness with the K2000M resulted in approximately 4 hours of battery life.  Web surfing at half brightness results in 7-8 hours battery life, depending on surfing habits.  And very light web surfing, note taking, and word processing at half brightness results in 9 hours of battery life.  That number can be extended all the way up to 11 hours at minimum brightness.  Basically, the W530 can last an entire business day unplugged as long as it was not needed for anything very resource-intensive. 
    Customer Service, Support, Repair and Replacement
    Typically, a review would not include a section on support.  However, something happened to my initial W530 unit and I can provide a perspective on Lenovo’s support experience.  The problem that developed was a failure of the Intel 4000 integrated graphics.  All other systems and components, including the quad-core processing cores on the i7-3720QM, worked fine.  However, running only on the Nvidia graphics caused the battery life to be affected (6 hours maximum, compared to 11 hours maximum running on Intel graphics), and so I called Lenovo.  The service tech to whom I spoke remoted into my computer and looked at the recent Windows updates I had downloaded.  He suggested that I restore to an earlier point prior to the Windows updates, and if that did not work, to call back and Lenovo would fix it.  Needless to say, it did not work and I called back.  The service rep sent a box for the computer to be sent to the EasyServ repair depot. 
    I sent the box out the following day with my computer, and did not see my system again for over a month.  The online status listings for my system changed from “being repaired” to “waiting for customer information” at least 4 times during that period.  Since I was frequently checking the status in hope that my computer would be repaired and sent back to me quickly, I called Lenovo whenever I saw that the status was “waiting for customer information.”  As a result, I was able to follow along with the story of how my computer’s repair was progressing.  It went something like this:  First, the techs re-imaged my hard drive (I sent the machine back with all the original parts, keeping my upgrades until I got it back).  That did not fix the issue (which I could have told them, since I tried using different drives myself before calling Lenovo) and led to the first “hold for customer information.”  At no point during any of these holds did they actually need any information from me, but it seems to be the universal code they chose to use for “waiting for [whatever].”  First, they were waiting to escalate it to a higher level tech.  Then, I was told I needed a new motherboard and they were waiting on the new board.  Then, I was told that the new motherboard did not work and they were referring the system to a design team.  Then, the design team discovered that they shipped and installed the wrong new motherboard and it needed a different one.  Then, I was told that the different new motherboard was backordered and it would take longer to arrive. 
    During the first four weeks that they had my system, I called Lenovo maybe six or seven times, and they did not call me once.  The situation was rather frustrating.  However, after approximately four weeks, one of the service reps gave me the phone number of a specific employee, who informed me that since my repair had taken so long, Lenovo was going to replace my computer.  He said a member of Lenovo’s Executive Replacement Team would call me to set up the replacement.  A week later, I was able to talk to the Executive Replacement Team member, who confirmed the specifications of my unit and said the replacement computer would arrive in 2-3 weeks.  Two days later, I got my original computer back from the depot.  Thankfully, I was then able to use the original system until the new one arrived.  Now, I am typing this review on the new system and everything works well. 
    Lenovo’s customer service staff were unexceptionally friendly and helpful.  I spoke to a number of them, and each and every one was courteous and willing to help.  Lenovo’s replacement staff were also easy to talk to, responsive, and effective.  The EZServ repair techs, however, appear to leave something to be desired.  I bought a 3 year warranty , including Thinkpad Protection and on-site service.  If anything goes wrong again with my Thinkpad, I am going to insist on the on-site service option. 
    Value & Recommendation
    The Lenovo Thinkpad W530 is a well-built notebook with very good performance, thermal design, and battery life.  Very few computers manage all of these together, and the down side of the W530 is price: it is more expensive than other systems with similar performance.  Still, I believe the extra price is justified by what the computer delivers: a solid system with no compromises. 
    You should buy one too if:
    You want a system that will last a number of years
    You need a combination of excellent performance and excellent battery life
    Consider something else if:
    You’re on a strict budget and want the most performance for the money
    You want a computer with a style that will turn heads

  • Password reset problems in planning and shared services

    We had all our repository passwords expire today(by some default).We had to reset them(and set them to not expire!).
    According to the epm 11 admin guide, we have to reconfigure database for all applications using the config tool-which we did.
    Now in the config tool, we find that none of the apps are configured(except for the database part) or deployed.When we try to reconfigure/redeploy, it errors out.

    What I am saying is when you start up the configurator it checks the information in reg.properties so the configurator can connect to the shared services registry and retrieve information, if the password changed and you started up the configurator I would assume that it could not connect to the registry.
    Anyway seeing as you are this far along have you tried updating the password for foundation database in the configurator and then redeploying the web application, does foundation start up?
