Use of Categories in Studio

Hi,
Our forms lists are quite large and we are looking at using the Studio Categories to better classify and display the forms in each GRP file. We are running on 11.3, so there is no search feature for the form list.
In a test environment, I've set up some categories in the BDF file and used these categories to classify one form list. The only problem I see is that the categories are defined in the BDF file and ALL categories apply to ALL form lists. For example, I have line of business 1 where 20 categories are needed, and line of business 2 where only 3 of these categories are required. But, in Studio, when working with LOB 2, all 17 unused categories show at the bottom of the list.
Is there a way to create LOB-specific categories in the BDF file?
Thanks,
Gaétan
P.S. I got the answer from Support and no, the categories cannot be LOB-specific.

You don't. This has to be done on the computer, by creating multiple groups in your Address Book program.
How do I view categories of Contacts that I view on the Iphone?
How do I sort or filter Contacts by Category on the iPhone?
Once you have multiple contacts groups, there's a Groups arrow at the top left of the Contacts app that backs you out to the Groups page. For example, on mine I can choose to view All Contacts, All on My iPhone (which is all of the contacts from my computer's address book), select a single group from within All on My iPhone (e.g., Family, Friends, Restaurants, etc.), or my MS Exchange contacts (corporate global address list).

    Sorry, missed the message from the errorlog in the original post. You shouldn't have included that big .Net dump that hid the important facts. :-)
    My first Google attempt on that message (which I have never seen before) suggests that the TCP Enpoint is stopped, so try this:

    But sorry for my insistence, but do you think that
    purify or/and runtime are not able to detect any
    corruption of the heap ?They can detect some kinds of corruption, such as some uses of an invalid pointer.
    But a wild pointer that changes the value of data that is part of your program cannot be detected by RTC or Purify. Those programs can't know whether that change is intentional.
    >
    BTW, we are not using any volatile declaration, and weIf non-local data is shared among threads, it should be declared volatile. For example, suppose you have
    x = foo;
    ... // code not changing foo
    y = foo;
    If foo is not marked volatile, the compiler is allowed to assume its value hasn't changed, and assign to y the same value assigned to x. If foo was changed by another thread, y will not have the current value of foo. The "volatile" declaration says that the variable's value might change without any obvious reason, and the compiler should generate code to load a fresh value each time it is referenced.
    are using the rwtools library packaged with the
    compiler, and are not using the STD library.OK, you are not running into a std::string synchronization bug.
    >
    Also about the compiler option -xarch=v8, is probably
    not relevant for us because we are running Solaris 9.
    So the relevant compiler is probably -xarch=v9. Do you
    advise us using this option ?I think you misunderstand. The -xarch values refer to the kind of processor your program will run on.
    The -xarch=v8 option generates 32-bit code that will run on all SPARC chips, including the chips found in very old SPARCstations. This option is the default for compilers prior to Sun Studio 9 (which ships this week).
    The -xarch=v8plus option generates 32-bit code that runs only on UltraSPARC chips, found in Ultra workstations. These are the only kinds of workstations shipped by Sun since about 1996. Unless you need to support the ancient SPARCstations, we recommend compiling with -xarch=v8plus, to get smaller and faster code.
    The -xarch=v9 option generates 64-bit code that runs only on UltraSPARC chips, an only on Solaris 7 or later. Unless your program requires a very large address space, you generally don't want to generate 64-bit code. On SPARC, 64-bit code is larger and slower than 32-bit code. (Type "long" and all pointers are 64 bits instead of 32 bits.)
    >
    Also I want to return you two new questions:
    1) I read in another discussion,
    http://forum.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=5&thread=18124&me
    sage=47854#47854
    that another memory manager can be more efficient in
    multi-threaded environment (libmtmalloc.so), and also
    an alternate threads library (/usr/lib/lwp) that
    reduced CPU usage. Do you advice us using this
    alternate library ?The libmtmalloc library usually has better performance in MT programs than the default version of malloc. It also can result in more memory fragmentation. In that case, the larger working set can sometimes have a large negative effect, more than offsetting the MT efficiency. You have to experiment to see whether it is appropriate for your particlular program. If you are running into heap corruption, the pattern of corruption will probably be different with libmtmalloc than with the default malloc. The differences might provide a clue to what is wrong.
    The alternative "T2" threads library was introduced in Solaris 8 as an option.
    In Solaris 9 it is the default, so you are already using it.
    >
    2) We are using the Rogue Wave library shiped with the
    compiler. Is it an up-to-date version ? Can we assume
    that is a good choice or it will be preferable to move
    to the STD library ?I assume you mean Rogue Wave Tools.h++. As explained in the compiler docs, this version of Tools is obsolete, and has not been supported for many years. We continue to provide it for customers who used it before the introduction of the C++ Standard Library in 1998, and who don't want to change their code. We do not recommend it for use in new code.

  • Using graphs in measurement studio

    I have written in multiple languages, and this �easy� �user friendly� software package has left me completely stumped. How on earth do you put data in to a graph and display it????? Can someone please show me code examples of firstly how to shove an entire array of numbers into a graph in VB.net using the new Measurement Studio and secondly how I could update a graph plot with a next acquired sample. Please help

    "Where would I find "Creating Measurement Studio Strip Charts, Scope Charts, and Graphs" document. if it is on the website it is extremeley well hidden even from its own search engine. Does this specifically talk about VB .NET and measurement studio"
    You can find this topic, as well as several other conceptual topics about the Measurement Studio .NET features with VB.NET/C#, in the Measurement Studio help that installs with Measurement Studio. You can find this help in two ways:
    Integrated into VS.ET 2003/MSDN Help - Go to the table of contents, then the "NI Measurement Studio Help" node.
    Measurement Studio standalone help - Go to the Start Menu, then Programs->National Instruments->Measurement Studio 7.1 for VS.NET 2003->Measurement Studio Documentation
    Once you're in the table of contents, you can find the topic above by navigating to:
    - NI Measurement Studio Help
    - NI Measurement Studio .NET Class Library
    - Using the Measurement Studio .NET Class Libraries
    - Using the Measurement Studio Windows Forms .NET Controls
    - Using the Measurement Studio Graph .NET Controls
    The topic above is the second link in the list. If you have Measurement Studio 7.1 installed, this link will take you directly there.
    "Using Measurement Studio ActiveX controls I wouldn't even know where to start, there is no AxCWGraph on any toolbar."
    AxCWGraph is the name of the interop wrapper that is automatically generated by VS.NET when you add CWGraph to your project, so you won't see it in the toolbox. WaveformGraph/ScatterGraph is what you should use in .NET applications if you have Measurement Studio 7.0 or higher. I only mentioned CWGraph because this was posted to the Measurement Studio for Visual Basic forum instead of the Measurement Studio for Visual Studio .NET forum, so it wasn't clear if you were using the Measurement Studio .NET controls or the Measurement Studio ActiveX controls.
    "If NI could just stick an example of exactly how to use VB.NET with measurement studio on displaying data and the various options available and stick it for all to see on the measurement studio home page it would be great."
    There are several examples that are installed with Measurement Studio 7.1. If you installed Measurement Studio to the default location, you can find this examples at:
    Program Files
    National Instruments
    MeasurementStudioVS2003
    DotNET
    Examples
    UI
    Graph
    "I write in over ten different languages and scripts and fluent in two of them. It worries me that I can't even find the front door let alone open it."
    I can understand how this could difficult if you were not aware of the Measurement Studio help and examples. Is it easier now that you know about this content that installed with Measurement Studio? If not, what else do you feel is missing?

  • Import multiple files using sql server management studio

    Using sql server management studio I want to do 2 things.
    - Import all txt files from a directory as tables into my DB.
    - Add an additional field to each new table which contains the table name.
    Can anyone help me?

    There are couple of ways to do it:
    File naming conventions : YourFileName_SystemId.txt
    You can create one extra column in table or may be name a table with system id. Then after loading the data you can update that column with the system id.
       components required:
     ForEachLoopContainer - To get file and store file name in a variable
     Expression Task (if SSIS 2012 or above) or variable expression or script task to seperate file name from systemId
     Data Flow Task - to load data
     Execute SQL Task - to update last column or specific table based on precedence constraints  
    Note: You can also add extra column in data flow via
    derived column transformation.
    Ex.:
    Load file via foreach loop
    Split string via seprator
    2: Loading different system file in different folder
    you can have predefined folder structure ex: SystemId1, SyetemId2 etc and can download respective txt file in their system folder. Then you can easily identity which file belong to which system and then load it to the respective table.
    3: Use first row of text file to hold the system value
    Use first row to have the system id and then skip row while fetching data. 
    Note: Then you have to read first row through script task to get the system id.
    hope this will help

  • Mac pro configuration for use in a sound studio

    Hey,
    for a college of mine I have to configure a MacPro, which will be used in a recording studio. I've thought of chosing a MacPro with two 2,26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem", 16 GB RAM, 2 x 1TB drives and 3x NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB. This system will be the basis of all recording and mixing issues. He'll probably use Cubase 5, and a lot of plug-ins, etc. Additionally we think about using as many screens as possible. Due to a lack of a window between the recording and the mixing room, we have to enable communication via two webcams and some additional screens. Would it be possible to use 4 screens with 3 graphic cards and to spread the signals of the two webcams to two different preset screens.
    Thanks for the information, so far

    Hello Chirate,
    I am currently using a MacPro in a Recording Studio. I think, the setup you have thought of choosing is great! Mac Pro 2x2.26 GHz, 16GB RAM, 2TB Hard Drive Space and 3x NVIDIA GeForce GT120. In terms of processing speed and memory I think you are good.
    Although I do not know if it is possible to use 4 screens with 3 video cards and to spread the signals of the two webcams to two different preset screens.
    Hope this helps you out a bit,

  • Questions about Using Lightroom and Print Studio Pro

    I want to use Print Studio pro via the lightroom plugin since as I understand it, that is the only way to ensure a 16-bit file is being passed to the printer (on Windows).  However, I am a little confused about how the image is being rendered.  Is lightroom applying a default output sharpening to the file before handing it off to Print Studio Pro or Does Print Studio Pro manage resolution and Output sharpening based on the media and print size you choose?  
    So basically I am wondering if there is any output sharpening being applied, and when is it applied.  The possibilities I think would be:
    Lightroom is applying a default output sharpening when rendering the file to TIF for Print Studio Pro (If this is the case, what setting is being applied and is it possible to change it?)
    Print Studio Pro is applying output sharpening based on media type and print size, or applying a generiz amount of sharpening that does not take into account media or size.
    No Sharpening is being applied.  In this case, I should probably be exporting this file manually with output sharpening applied and then opening in Print Studio Pro
    The other question I have is if when using the plugin is the TIF file that is being generated in 16-bit pro-photo to ensure the maximum amount of color data?
    Because if Print Studio Pro is not applying sharpening I think it may just be better to print through the lightroom tool even though it renders down to 8-bit because the amount of control I have via the lightroom print module would be far more advantageous than any color data I am losing by printing in 8-bit.
    Anyone know the answer to all this?

    I had similar questions when I first got my Pro-100.
    1. You can call up PSP from any module, so I assume it is ignoring print module settings.
    2. If I select a Saved Print, which adjusts the print module settings specific to that print, and the open PSP the paper settings in PSP are not what is in LR, supporting the "ignore" conclusion.
    3. I ran some test prints using LR to print at three different output sharpening settings (Off, Standard, High) to ensure I could see a difference (I did).
    4. I ran four test prints: LR-Standard, XPS driver, LR-Standard regular driver, PSP using standard driver and PSP using XPS driver. I couldn't see any difference between the four prints.
    Since LR is such an easy printing process I haven't seen a reason to use PSP.

  • Unable to Use Color Categories for Outlook 2013

    I've recently installed Office 2013 and found that the categories tag wasn't even on the ribbon (beside the tags where it should and used to be). and whenever i tried customizing the ribbon to add it, it was greyed out in the menu and didn't appear on
    the ribbon. Whenever I clicked an appointment, the categories tab wasn't there either. Even the normal tags (Private, High Importance, Low Importance) don't work - they're clickable but they don't work. In the same way, whenever an appointment window opens,
    yet again, the categories tab isn't there.   

    The categories you assign won't sync to the server and be visible on other computers, but you can use either keyboard shortcuts to assign categories or a small macro to bring up the category dialog and assign them for messages on this computer.
    This works on selected mail - add a button for it to the ribbon -
    Public Sub CategorizeIMAP()
    Dim objItem As Outlook.MailItem
    Set objItem = Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
    objItem.ShowCategoriesDialog
    Set objItem = Nothing
    End Sub
    http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/outlook-categories-flags-and-imap-accounts/ has more information and a macro that works for open or selected items.

  • Using Qmaster with DVD Studio Pro OR Qmaster requires FCP on all machines?

    Greetings everyone,
    After a few days of tinkering I've finally managed to set up a managed cluster. However, I have a problem (surprise, surprise). When I submit a job to the cluster, Final Cut Pro suddenly opens up on all of the computers being used. I have Final Cut Studio 2 under an academic license, and all copies report that there is another copy running with the same serial number and that they must shut down. They render a few frames before suddenly quitting the job, regardless of whether I leave the message up or OK it away. I've done some reading from this thread which makes it sound like all systems must have a copy of FCP installed, or to use a slightly different method:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=375923&tstart=195
    It's a bit upsetting as I'd originally read that systems could aid in rendering with just QMaster installed, and that they didn't need FCP installed. Hence, having FCP open up was unexpected, and I get the feeling that uninstalling FCP from those systems wouldn't help me.
    But let me explain what I do normally, and perhaps some of you can guide me.
    My work has me converting hundreds of tapes to DVD. Without QMaster, I would import the videos in Final Cut Pro, set chapter markers and in and out points, and then export the video (with barely any processing - an export typically takes 4 minutes on a dual 800 Mhz G4). I'd then import it to DVD Studio Pro, handle the menus, and then do a build and format. That process would take ~2-3 hours per DVD, and that is the part that I'd like to optimize.
    The setup is such that I have one dual G5 wired to our hard drives (all Firewire 800), and then four other systems that connect to the G5 to access the HDs through a gigabit network switch. This has worked quite nicely in that it allows systems that only have Firewire 400 to work at Firewire 800 speeds regardless.
    I'd originally thought that DVD Studio Pro 4 would automatically be able to process jobs through Qmaster, but I couldn't find a setting for it and it didn't seem to do it on its own. Instead, I was planning to redo my work flow such that the encoding of the video (the most time-consuming part of DVD Studio Pro's build procedure) would be done in Final Cut Pro. Or more specifically, it would go through Compressor. However, as I mentioned above, attempting to work this way causes Final Cut Pro to open up on all nodes within the cluster. As they all have the same serial number, they become unhappy under such conditions. I can uninstall them from the systems as I only ever use one copy at a time anyway, but as I mentioned from the link above, it seems that rendering through FCP -> Compressor will require FCP to be installed on all participating systems.
    Does anyone have any advice for what to do? Is there a way to get around having FCP activate on all participating systems, or is there a way to do it directly through DVD Studio Pro (ideally in a manner that wouldn't cause DVD Studio Pro to activate on all participating systems)?
    Any advice is much appreciated. The distributed encoding is really the only reason why we upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2, so I'm going to feel rather foolish if this doesn't work out.

    A QCluster network isn't designed to distribute Rendering from FCP, rather it's designed to distribute encoding tasks.
    As mentioned in that thread you linked to, the best workflow I can think of in your situation is to export Quicktime reference movies from FCP, then bring those reference files into Compressor for distribution to the QCluster for the transcode to MPEG 2 for DVD. There is a wealth of good information in that thread.
    In short, if you attempt to use a Cluster to export from FCP, then all of your nodes will need to have separate licenses of FCP. But if you use the reference movie method, FCP is not required for the encoding.
    One question for clarification with your workflow, are you logging & capturing these clips then sending them directly to DVD? or are you editing them in a timeline prior to export to DVD?
    If you're just using FCP as your Log & Capture tool, then you can skip the reference movie step and just grab the captured clips in your Capture Scratch folder and send those directly to Compressor.

  • Using JDBC with Visual Studio J++ doesn't work.

    G'day all,
    I am trying to create an applet that extracts data from an Access 2000 database, which is then displayed to the applet. Currently I am using Visual Studio J++ 6.0 as my development platform.
    I am having trouble trying to connect to my Access 2000 database, and I'm searching for some example code on how to do this.
    I'm pretty much a Java newbie, so all my attempts have failed. Also since all the example code I have is for a JDK implementation I'm not sure if my J++ complier is throwing an error on the basis that the code is not Misro$oft.
    Does anyone know where I can source code for such a solution, for connection to an Access 2000 database under a J++ 6.0 compiler?
    Any details would be greatly appreciated.

    Ripperjack,
    You're limited by the lack of support for the java standard in Microsoft's J++ 6.0's VM. I tried to get JDBC to work for a while in J++ and was unable to. I finally broke down and wrote the thing using ADO. The ADO interface is very intuative for ADO programmers and in fact the syntax is similar to JDBC.
    Later I regretted using J++ because I wanted to make the code portable and relieve my reliance on the Microsoft libraries. I rewrote some of my applications using JDK 2 and JDBC, and am currently rewriting the rest. You can use the ODBC-JDBC bridge with JDK 2 and get to that Access database.
