UTF8 conversion support for jni

We were using db-4.2.52.NC, and found that conversion between the java UTF8 and C native encoding wasn't supported with the BDB jni, so we added it ourselves. We are in the process of upgrading to 11G, has that support been added since then?

I don't understand the context that I would use the TO_TSTRING macro. I do know that version 4.2 worked for us, and we had to convert our UTF8 strings to native before calling BDB functions, and we need to have a common code base for all platforms. So I'm guessing that I need to build without the _UNICODE option. The way I would do this is to go the IDE and change all of the flags for all BDB projects and for all build configurations (debug, optimized, 64-bit, 32-bit, etc). Is there a simpler and transparent way to do this?

Lenguage Conversion support for LabVIEW Linux

Hi,
Is it possible to switch from one lenguage to another based on user selection on LabVIEW Linux.
The developed code will have option to choose lenguage.. Based on the lenguage selection my application should convert its lenguage.
Is it possible in LabVIEW???
is there any specific function???
Kindly reply

Absolutely. There are lots of ways to do it. I see three basic options, though:
1. Use import/export strings as mentioned here.
2. Use property nodes to change all the captions and displayed text on your front panel. This would probably only be a good option for very small applications.
3. Use a third party tool like this. This one is way over-priced, in my opinion. But I thought I recalled seeing other third-party tools.

I purchased the Adobe pdf Pack to combine 50 PDF files to one and when I select them from my folder it claims "the files are not in a format not supported for conversion to PDF". They already are pdfs, what am I doing wrong?".

SAP Conversion Agent for PI 7.1 EHP 1 and Windows 2008 Support

Hello
I have read that some people were able to run SAP Conversion Agent on a PI 7.1 EHP1 Installation on Windows 2008 Sever. But in the Product Availability Matrix there is no support for 2008 yet.
In the SAP Library (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/fc39c16bfb025ee10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm) under the release notes for SAP Conversion Agent there is still version 8.5, but when I install the actual Support Package I have Conversion Agent 8.6 running and according to information on the informatica.com site this version is running under 2008!
Has anybody clear and actual information about which OS the newest SAP Conversion Agent for PI 7.1 EHP1 supports? Or has anyone experiance on Conversion Agent and Windows 2008 Server?
Thanks
Christoph

Hi Mark
Thanks for your reply! Fact is that in the actual Package (SP06) the version of Conversion Agent Engine supplied is not 8.5.5 as in the SAP Note mentioned, it is version 8.6.0:
C:\Documents and Settings\pi1adm>CM_console -v
Engine-Version: 8.6.0(Build:30)
Engine-Syntaxversion:4.00.10
I will oben a ticket for that ...

7D MKII support for Raw conversion

When will adobe be updating camera raw support for the 7d MKII? there is no support for CR2 files from the 7D MKII currently.

Apple updated Camera RAW 6.01 and it's compatible with Aperture / Yosemite and Canon 7D Mark II.
I'm temporarily back in business until Adobe updates ACR for my apps of choice; Lightroom 5 & CS6.
I downloaded Camera RAW 6.01 for Apple's Aperture from this address

MST Support for MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 - DisplayPort 1.2 - Will it ever happen? (with sources)

So back in October, I purchased a brand new Macbook Pro Retina (MBPr), fully loaded with top of the line specs. I was soooo excited to have Thunderbolt 2 tech which Intel AND Apple describes as having DisplayPort 1.2a compatibility - which up to this point is unfortunately NOT the case. The point of the information/questions and requests in this article is to engage a conversation about the issues of not having MST support after Apple falsely mislead their consumers to think otherwise - especially when it is clear the MBPr is capable. Please read on...
Apple advertises that the Thunderbolt 2 ports on BOTH the MBPr and the new Mac Pro (NMP) will have 4K Display support with the famed 20gb/sec Ports (DisplayPort 1.2 only requires a little above 17gb/sec). Now that the 10.9.1 update has been released, we have failed to see MST or Multi-Stream Transport enabled on the MBPr Late 2013. Now, as for the New Mac Pro- it DOES have MST enabled in 10.9.1 with the AMD GPUs. For all of you out there that's questioning what this means, short answer is basically the Mac Pro will be able to power a 4K Monitor at 60Hz through the Thunderbolt 2 Port but the New MBPr is stuck with only HDMI 1.4 support which tops out at 4K 30Hz. 30Hz is unacceptable for anything but movies or a photo slideshow. At 30Hz the cursor will jump across the screen, eliminating any of the benefits of 4K.
BUT it gets worse...
Apple can be seen advertising that the new MBPr 15" model can power a 4K monitor THROUGH the Thunderbolt 2 Port here: http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt - This article quotes the following:
"Now with Thunderbolt 2 built into the new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can connect the latest 4K desktop displays and get double the bandwidth for your peripherals. And the two generations of Thunderbolt technology are compatible with each other."
Does this not let the consumer assume that the newest MBPr will be able to drive a 4K display through the Thunderbolt 2 Port? I would say yes it does, but at the time I wrote this, the TB2 Ports can't power a 4K display because, as previously stated, MST is disabled in Mavericks for the 15" MBPr Late 2013.
NOW, later on Apple posted the following article on 4K support here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6008
4K support on the MacBook Pro (Retina, Late 2013)
MacBook Pro supports 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs at the following resolutions and refresh rates with the built-in HDMI port:
3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz refresh rate
4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz refresh rate (mirroring is not supported at this resolution)
In the article above the New Mac Pro is listed as having support for a 4K Display with the Thunderbolt 2 Port (or MST DisplayPort 1.2a Technology) at 60Hz with no problem. This leads myself and many others to believe that MST will NEVER be enabled on the newest MacBook Pro Retina with Nvidia GPUs. Yes, 4K IS supported but ONLY through the HDMI 1.4 port, which has the limitation of only 30hz. This two-faced advertising is extremely upsetting to a LOT of people, including myself.
Interestingly enough, THIS IS NOT a hardware issue. If one ventures into Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp and connects a 4K Display via the Thunderbolt 2 (or through DP1.2) Port, the Display registers at 60Hz, thus proving that the Thundberbolt 2 Hub Controller is completely capable of MST DisplayPort functionality. Clearly this a driver issue with Apple, Nvidia or Intel or any combination. What Apple has done here is forcing any professional that desires stable and clear 4K technology through their MacBook Pro Retina to do so only using Windows 8.1 on their own machines! Definitely an oxymoron if you ask me...
Later on when the Mac Pro was ready for ordering, Apple placed the Sharp PN-K321 as a compatible option for a 4K Display. On the Store page featuring the (over three thousand dollar) Sharp 4K display, located here http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD971LL/A/sharp-32-pn-k321-4k-ultra-hd-led-mon itor?fnode=53 Apple states the following:
"Note that 4K DisplayPort operation is only compatible with the new Mac Pro (Late 2013)."
All of that being said, and I'm terribly sorry for my wordy ranting...
This brings me to a final two requests to ANYONE reading this post:
a) Has anyone working with the new 10.9.2 Beta Update seen evidence that DisplayPort 1.2 capabilities will be enabled for the new MacBook Pro Retina (Nvidia 750M) with the promised "Graphics Driver Updates" within the next Mavericks update?
and
b) To others that purchased or were/are thinking of purchasing a new MacBook Pro Retina with TB2 Ports: If you are just as upset as me about this crushing blow to consumers that just purchased a $3,000 laptop that were promised something that wasn't delivered - I urge you please, write to Apple and let them know they are making a mistake. You can do this though the support page or through http://www.apple.com/feedback
Thank you for your precious time, and if anyone has anything to contribute to this issue, please jump in....

GOOD NEWS!
The Mavericks 10.9.3 update adds official support for Thunderbolt 2, 4K!
I'm not sure if you will be able to daisy chain anything to the 4K display. I've read that the design of Thunderbolt 2 includes support for DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream (MST), which allows this type of daisy chaining with 4K, but we don't know if Apple has this supported on it's machines. Apparently it's been buggy in development because the graphics driver needs to work correctly with the Thunderbolt 2 host controller. I'm sure they will work it out if they haven't already.
The above is all via found information on this topic, but you can follow some more discussion here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1713876
One more note on Thunderbolt worth sharing: always keep your fastest peripherals closer to the computer in the chain. If you have a TB1 device directly connected to the computer, anything further down the chain will be limited to TB1 speed/capability regardless of it's native speed. Always connect TB2 devices first, and save anything TB1 for the end of the chain.

Enum class not supported for switch() statement in 12.4 beta?

Hi fellow 12.4 beta testers,
It would appear "enum class" isn't supported for switch() statements in the 12.4 beta. This compiles fine under clang and g++. Will this be fixed for the final release? This currently causes compile errors for us, since __cplusplus >= 201103L evaluates to true, so our code uses "enum class" instead of plain "enum". It looks like the C++11 standard says it should be supported:
   Switching on enum class in C++ 0x - Stack Overflow
Many thanks,
Jonathan.
$ cat test.cpp
#include <iostream>
enum class Ternary { KnownFalse = 0, KnownTrue = 1, Unknown = 2 };
int main( void )
   Ternary foo;
   switch ( foo ) {
      case Ternary::KnownTrue:
      case Ternary::KnownFalse:
      case Ternary::Unknown:
         std::cout << "Success\n";
$ clang++ -std=c++11 test.cpp
$ g++ -std=c++11 test.cpp

"test.cpp", line 11: Error: An integer constant expression is required for a case label.
5 Error(s) detected.

Thanks for reporting this problem! I have filed bug 18499900.
BTW, according to the C++11 standard, the code is actually not valid. Section 6.4.2, switch statement, says an implicit conversion to an integral type is required, which is not the case for for a scoped enum (one using the "class enum" syntax). This limitation was raised in the C++ Committee as an issue to be fixed, and the C++14 standard makes the code valid.
As a workaround, or to make the code conform to C++11, you can add casts to int for the enum variable and the enumerators.

Multilingual support for BI Publisher reports

Hi all,
We are currently using BI Publisher APIs to generate reports. Our aim is to enable multi-language support for these reports.The translatable strings based on the locale are stored in xliff files. Using jedit, UTF-8 encoding is chosen as the default encoding for these xliff files. It works fine with french and some other single byte languages but with double byte languages like chinese,japanese it is throwing the below mentioned error.
Interestingly, with the same type of encoding (UTF-8), the BI Publisher stand alone server successfully supports the multi byte feature.

Lack of support for rented movies

Last night I rented a movie from the AppleTV. It appeared to download okay. But when I tried to play it, all I got was a white screen.
I immediately tried to call Apple support. After a few minutes with the voice response system, it told me they were closed – call tomorrow. Why didn’t the voice response system say that at the beginning?
I called early next morning (6:30am PDT). After navigating through the voice response system, I got a technician who asked for my AppleTV serial number and verified that I had an AppleCare agreement. After about 20 min of research, he told me to unplug the AppleTV, wait 30 sec., then plug it back in and see if that fixes the problem. Well, it did – I could view the movie. He told me the problem is due to the way the firmware handles an HDMI connection – but only with rented movies. What??? The technician then said “good, we fixed the problem you’re good to go.”
I said not so fast – and asked how Apple was going to compensate me for going through the motions of downloading a rented movie, trying to troubleshoot and calling in (only to be told I was SOL), spending 45 min the next morning, and never being able to see the movie due to an Apple hardware problem. The technician put me on the phone with his “supervisor” - again a 5 min wait on hold.
The supervisor asked what was the problem – since I still had 12 more hours to watch the movie (we were talking at 6:30am). Then she had the audacity to say there wasn’t a “technical problem” since un-plugging the AppleTV reset it and I could now see the movie. I told her that I wanted to watch the movie last night and there most certainly was a technical problem at that time - i.e., white screen. She reluctantly said that she would “try” to get me a refund for the movie.
I then asked her how was I suppose to get support in real-time for AppleTV download issues? She again reiterated that their hours are 6-6 and they don’t accept support calls after 6pm PDT. She asked why I didn’t go on-line and seek help on the Apple Web site. Excuse me? I was sitting down to dinner with my family who wanted to watch the rented movie. Going off to a computer to research an Apple hardware problem wouldn’t have been politically correct under the circumstances.
I also told her that the technician wouldn’t talk to me without evidence of a AppleCare support agreement on the AppleTV. Hey, a rented movie wouldn’t play. Why do I need an Apple support agreement to merely get what I paid for? I asked, what if I had just purchased the AppleTV, how would I solve this sort of problem? She said that I could have paid a one time $49 support charge to get someone to tell me to unplug the AppleTV. Mind you, that’s a $49 charge to see a $4.99 movie due to a known problem with Apple’s firmware. Unbelievable!
Given the frustration of not getting the movie to play (at dinner time), no realistic support to fix the problem, and the baffling conversation with Apple’s insensitive support manager - all I was offered is someone will “try” to get me a refund.
Okay, this won’t happen to me again. Because I won’t be renting or downloading movies from Apple’s service. Sorry I bought the AppleTV - wonder if I can get a refund for it?

I agree the OP could not have known to restart the device but I do rather think their expectations after receiving help were unrealistic.
From the Applecare diagnosis it was an issue with the tv that led to the OP being unable to watch their movie when they wanted, not the rental, and technically one would need warranty or Applecare to receive phone based support for the tv.
I accept it was unfortunate the OP's experience wasn't as it should have been and that it was made a little worse by not being able to speak to someone out of hours, although I do see the need for staff to verify that Applecare has been purchased with each caller.
At the end of the day, the OP's issue was resolved and their was no financial loss to the OP. These things happen, it's unreasonable to expect, or fulminate over not getting, some form of compensation, (although it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask for the rental for free without expectation). What sort of compensation does one thing you would get from Canon if your video camera broke down in the middle of filming your sons graduation day ceremony.

Tomcat Crashes for JNI ?

Hello everyone,
I am facing a serious problem. This is as follows:
1. I have wrote some audio/video conversion fuctions using C and make the shared library (*.so files) in linux.
2. I have wrote the JNI code (making it shared library also, *.so file) to access the library functions created in step 1.
3. Then I use JAVA and Java Native codes to use the JNI. I load the library created by JNI code with Java.
4. Finally, I have created a JSP page. Actuall JSP page acts as the conversion client program of audio/video conversion.
The problem is:
If I open the JSP page in one browser , the conversion is successfull.
But when I open two browsers and try to convert at the same time, the tomcat crashes, so conversion fails.
Why tomcat crashes ? Is it for JNI ? Is there any JNI drawbacks for such case ?
It will be greate help, if someone can answer.
Thanks in advanced.
James

Nomachine NX/FreeNX, can't get 3D accelearation support for Virtualbox

Greetings to everyone!
I have a problem, which hopefuly someone knows how to solve?
I've installed everything I needed for one small headless testing server based on Arch linux (x64, kernel 2.6.32 and X.Org X Server 1.7.3.902 (1.7.4 RC 2)), and have setup only basic stuff and services (I've attached rc.conf file)
In addition I've setup also a desktop enviroment based on LXDE (in case of problems but it's stared manualy only when need and by NXclient or ssh -X), NVIDIA drivers (v. 190.53), VirtualBox 3.1.2 and VMWare Server 2.0.2 (x64).
When I'm working directly on computer everything is working just fine and I have support for hardware acceleration in Virtualbox, but when I try to use it from remote location (eg. using NX client, or using X forwarding over SSH), I can't get access to 3D features of VirtualBox (3D acceleration and 2D acceleration buttons are greyed out!), also when I try to access NVIDIA settings panel it says "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." Well I'm pretty sure I have drivers installed, but is there any chance they are badly configured?
I really Arch linux and would like use it as my main distro and really would like if someone can help me find a solution for this problem, (especially knowing that the same things IS working on my second and much older computer based on Intel Pentium 4 (2.0 Ghz), ASUS P4B533 Asus GF4 MX440 graphic card Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS), and that it's a bit frustrating
The newer computer is based on AMD Athlon II X2 240, Gigabyte MA770-UD3, and Gigabyte 7300GS graphic card.
I've tried so many tutorials, many found on this forum, tried with different GUI (KDE, GNOME, LXDE) in case i "skipped" something and nothing helped me..
Checked everything (I know) twice and even more, but no success.
Is there some way to use hardware acceleration over remote sessions , am I missing something or is "the resistance futile" ?
I'm sending my rc.conf, xorg.conf file, so if someone has more expirience with it?
Thank you.

Greetings to you all from Zagreb (Croatia)

The thing is I don't have any problem when I'm working in front of computer, only when using remote sessions (like NX, VNC, etc.).
I can install additions, but I can't select 3D acceleration checkbox (it is disabled - grayed out) in Virtualbox, or use any graphic hardware advanced feature on computer when I'm using remote session, but it's enabled when using local session.
Even when I try (when connected over NX) commands like glxinfo | grep render
it says something like "not using direct rendering", looks like it's not even using nvidia driver, output show mesa driver is in use?
Could it be something with remote access, remote access rights or something like that?
During installations was following mostly tutorials from Arch Wiki.
Maybe I missconfigured something, or didn't configured at all?

Support for PL/SQL Record

We have a procedure in a package,this procedure makes use of a Record Type.
In BPEL, whiile creating the partner link, when we are trying to access this procedure we get the following error.
"WSDLException:faultCode=OTHER_ERROR:Database type is either not supported or is not implemented.
Parameter L_ECO_REC is of type SAN_REC_TYPE which is either not supported or not an implemented data type.
Check to ensure that the type of the parameter is one of the supported datatypes or that there is a collection or user defined type definition representing this type defined in the database.contact oracle support if error is not fixable."
Also please find below the package specification and body:
CREATE OR REPLACE package eco_pack is
TYPE San_Rec_Type IS RECORD
( Eco_Name VARCHAR2(10)
, Change_Notice_Prefix VARCHAR2(10)
, Change_Notice_Number NUMBER
, Organization_Code VARCHAR2(3)
PROCEDURE sandeep(l_eco_rec IN eco_pack.San_Rec_Type);
end;
CREATE OR REPLACE package body eco_pack is
PROCEDURE createeco(l_eco_rec IN eco_pack.San_Rec_Type) AS
BEGIN
INSERT
INTO ag_log
VALUES(1, 'ECO name is' || l_eco_rec.eco_name, 1);
COMMIT;
END;
end;
Does BPEl support PL/SQL Record Type, if so how ?
Thanks,
Shivram
.

PL/SQL types like RECORD, BOOLEAN and TABLE are not supported in the DB adapter with the current BPEL PM release (as the error message indicates). You can use JPublisher manually to generate an OBJECT type that corresponds with the RECORD. JPublisher will also create a wrapper and conversion APIs to convert between the two. You would then call the wrapper API which takes the OBJECT and then calls the underlying PL/SQL that takes the RECORD.
With the 10.1.2 Phase 2 release of BPEL PM, the DB adapter does all of this for you from within the design time wizard. JPublisher is invoked silently under the covers, the SQL that gets generated is automatically loaded into the database schema. That will create the OBJECT type, wrapper and conversion APIs. An XSD is generated for the wrapper API. Your partner link will invoke the wrapper, not the original API.
Note also that support for BOOLEAN and TABLE was also added. JPublisher generates wrapper APIs that substitute appropriate types for these parameters (e.g. INTEGER for BOOLEAN, Nested Table for TABLE).
