Vanilla vs Out of the box implementation ?

hi all,
can some one please tell me whats the difference between vanilla implementation and out of the box implementation ?
regards,
deepak

Both are same thing
Vanilla means cheap, basic and plain. No customization only configuration changes UI related change such as change the color of application user message dialog mesages etc.This means that the product is used strictly in accordance with the way the product vendor intends it to be used
So Basically you can only configure the product using various parameters provided by the vendor as example you can add your parameters, region codes, user messages, dialog message, change print receipt format , logo changes etc you cannot change any functionality.

  • Dynamic DNS (via DHCP) out of the box?

    Greetings!
    I was just wondering... Does OS X support Dynamic DNS updates out of the box?
    I can't seem to find any confirmation if 10.5 uses bootpd (which I think it does), and if bootpd supports dynamic DNS updates with the named service built into Leopard Server. There don't seem to be any options in Server Admin to enable this... So I'm a little hazy as how to enable dynamic DNS without compiling my own version of ISC-DHCP.
    Just for clarification here; what I'm looking for is the ability to update a DNS zone with a PTR/A record(s) of machines that send a hostname as a part of retrieving a IP address from a DDNS-enabled DHCP server. Ie, "mybox" requests IP from DHCP server, DHCP server updates "mydomain.tld" with a record for "mybox", so that "mybox.mydomain.tld" is resolvable afterwards by the machines on this subnet.
    Cheers,
    -SC

    This is a strange topic because implementing Dynamic DNS on Mac OS X Server looks like it should be child's play... so why hasn't Apple done it? Could it simply be that Apple sees no need for it at this time? Mac OS X clients don't need it to sit happy with a Mac OS X Server. Neither do Windows clients using a Mac OS X Server PDC.
    Apple has implemented Dynamic DNS client support into the Active Directory Plug-in in Leopard. In this environment, of course, the client's DNS server is most likely to be an Active Directory-integrated DNS server which happily support DDNS. Unfortunately this Dynamic DNS facility is not immediately available to those not using the Active Directory plug-in.

  • Out of the box behavior of the Pagination control

    Why does the Pagination invoke the PageFactory callback upon page count change?  And when it does invoke it, why is it with currentPageIndex=0?  Should there be an API to remove this listener if this is undesirable behavior?  If we know we may need to alter the Page Count after construction of the Pagination control, would it be best to remove the old one, and construct a new one for display at that point since the current implementation seems to behave inconsistently when one wants to alter the Page Count post-construction and/or callback configuration.
    Please consider the following scenario:
    The user is viewing a TableView of items.  Below the TableView is a Paginator whose PageFactory callback fetches rows from a database and calls TableView.setItems(<results>).  There are 3 pages and the user is on the 3rd page.  Only 5 rows remain out of a possible page size of 20.  The user decides to delete the 5 remaining rows on page 3 from the table/database.  Now it would seem natural at this point to conclude that page 3 no longer exists and we would want to the user to return to page 2.  If we simply call paginator.setCurrentPageIndex(currentIndex - 1) then we will correctly transition the user to Page 2, however Page 3 will remain displayed in the Pagination control and if the user browses back to that page, he is met with the "There is no content to display" label.  So it would seem natural that we could presume this happening and instead call paginator.setPageCount(2), then paginator.setCurrentPageIndex(currentIndex - 1).  That way the Pagination control reflects an accurate number of pages.  Unfortunately, this results in TWO callbacks to the PageFactory method, one at currentPageIndex=0 and another at the correct index.  Sometimes the widget that is constructed in the PageFactory callback (TableView) doesn't get displayed properly (disclaimer: speculation ahead) probably due to some asynchronous nature of the two competing callbacks (?).
    I'm struggling to get a handle on this control.  So far, my experience with TableView has been pretty good.  I love the features you get with this Pagination control out of the box, but some of the choices that were made with regards with what APIs to expose confuse me.  The frustrating thing about callbacks is that sometimes you can get caught in this callback hell where there are all sorts of callbacks being invoked and you don't really know why.  Often times, the Javadoc does not indicate that there is a default listener being applied to certain property that may invoke one of these callback.  I don't mean to sound like a rant.  Overall my experience with JavaFX 8 has been very positive so far.  I can usually always find a workaround if a come across a weird issue with an out of the box control.  Worst comes to worst, I'll write my own Pagination control.
    Thanks for your time.

    For anyone else that may come across this post.  I was able to find a workaround by simply using a field, boolean pageCountReset, and then bounding all of the logic in my page factory call back with a condition checking for this boolean value i.e. if (!pageCountReset) // continue, else // noop.  Then, if I need to reset the page count, I set my boolean to true so that the page factory callback results in a noop.  Because the pagination control under the hood will make currentPageIndex=0 (as I talked about above) if the page count is reset, I then have to be very explicit and either call my page factory callback manually to refresh the current page if it still valid, or I call pagination.setCurrentPageIndex(<new index>) so that the page factory callback will be invoked and pageCountReset will be false at this point, so I can successfully transition pages.

  • Out of the box porlets for Content Management with BEA Portal

    I am looking at BEA Portal for a simple Intranet site with some basic content management system capabilities. I would like to implement this without the use of a third party tool and wanted to know if there are any open source or out of the box BEA portlets/web-apps with basic CMS capabilities beyond what has been shown in the Portal tutorials around CMS. From doing the tutorials, I have learned how to manage content, and how to build a site from scratch to access the content using the <cm:> tags. However, without additional third party products such as Documentum or Interwoven, is there any free BEA/open source portlets to:
    - Configure exposure of this content in a runtime framework? (ie content manager can expose new content from the repository by a configurable admin GUI, place where this content is on the page)
    - Allow for a simple approval workflow where content that gets added to the repository by user A has to be approved by user B before automatically exposing?
    Interested to know if custom portal type development is the only way to do these kind of simple functions, or third party product.

    Hi,
    Did you have a chance to look into WebLogic Portal 8.1 SP3? Check out the new Library Services features, which includes versioning and simple approval:
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs81/adminportal/help/CM_MAN_LifecycleOV.html
    We also provide a few ootb portlets that allow users to interact with the CM system. Let us know if you have additional questions.

  • Out of the box execution plan for Payables EBS 11.5.10

    Has anyone else experienced performance issues with the out of the box execution plan for the Payables subject area for Oracle EBS 11.5.10? Our incremental ETL for this particular subject area is taking 8+ hours. I understand that there are several factors involved with performance and that there are a lot of AP transactions, but this is ridiculous for a nightly incremental ETL job.
    In particular it is the SDE_ORA_APTransactionFact_Payment task that is taking forever. This query appears to have extremely high cost (see explain plan below). Has anyone been successful in rewriting or changing this query?

    Hi Srini, All,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The payables documentation (i.e. User Guide) discusses about options that could be used in implementing EFT. However, if possible, we would like suggestions on what would be the better ways to implement EFT (US bank) using either XML or text formats. We would also prefer not using e-commerce gateway or EDI.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Best Practices in SharePoint 2010 ( Out of the box feature vs Custom Web Part, development )

    Hi
    How do we differentiate on when to allow custom web parts and when to use out of the box.
    What are the performance issues involved when we deploy a custom web part into the SharePoint server. 
    Why do some companies prefer to allow only out of the box features, and no custom work is done?

    SharePoint is a powerful, flexible server product that can provide a wealth collaboration environment right out of box.
    Best answer for your question is depend upon your requirement. Sometime Out of Box features will solve all the problem with little designing. But sometime your requirement need a Custom Web part / solution.
    With OOTB implementation the big advantage is easy to trouble shoot & fix the issues. You will also found tons of blogs on internet for OOTB features. In custom development, its hard to troubleshoot & identifying whether its SharePoint issue or Custom
    code issue.

  • Out-of-the-box document management

    Is there a framework set-up in Webcenter to have a document management lifecycle integrated within webcenter?
    These documents would be fed to a bpel process to enable automatic dossier management and would enable dossier managers to update documents, add content to these documents, generate different formats of these documents, ...
    We would lik to keep the technology stacks' footprint as small as possible regarding this document management and that's why I was wondering if there's an out-of-the-box solution available in webcenter.
    The end-user should be able to administer and manage the different electronic documents that are managed in his electronic dossier.
    We're already integrating with documentum as our documents base but the end-user approach to manage the content of these documents should be enabled through a user interface.
    Kind regards,
    Nathalie

    Hi Nathalie,
    Most of this functionality needs to be implemented on the content management side, Documentum in your case.
    We do support Documentum as the content management system, here is the documentation.
    Hope this helps,

  • Is the latest update to the 6th gen nano a software download or does it come with the new watch faces and larger icons out of the box

    Apple shows the new 6th gen nano with the new selection of watch faces and lager icons etc as per new update, but stores still have the 6th gen nano with just 3 watch faces and smaller icons etc. Is the newer spec just a software update that i do after purchase or does it come updated out of the box?
    Thx

    It should come out of the box with the new 1.2 update, but if it doesn't you can simply connect it to iTunes, download, and install the update from there.

  • Help Please - on a VC that works out of the box with MAC before I sellup

    I have to declare that I’m somewhat frustrated at the moment and I could do with some good advise please bare with me while I explain.
    I have recently converted from all types of PC systems and MS OS to Apple. The conversion was based on a few drivers.
    1, My wife finally has decided to “learn” how to do her own web work instead of asking me to look up this or that for her. So as she was starting from scratch I thought MAC.
    2, At the same time I had a play with Vista at work and disliked it. I was using XP & W2K at the time.
    3, I wanted to update my home hardware, which was 3 years old.
    4, The accountant said I hadn’t spent enough on IT last year.
    5, New project work in the planning that required video/audio work to upload onto the web and everyone said MAC was the best.
    So having looked around and done what I thought was enough research I started investing. To date I’ve invested £4500 plus.
    Started by buying
    iMAC 24” 2.8 Gz Intel with 4GB ram (for the home office)
    MacBook Pro 2.4 with 4GB ram (for out and about working)
    iPHONE 16GB (which is great)
    VMware Fusion was installed for those things that I couldn’t live without until I found a suitable replacement like MS Money, Paint Shop Pro, MS Office etc. Installed XP.
    Tried Open Office found it to clunky and hard work working off files for MS Office that others sent/required. Ended up buying Office 2008 only to find VB macros don’t work in Excel and all my company spreadsheets still need PC MS Excel to run so back into XP via Fusion.
    Then to MAIL which is great on the iPHONE as I can easily monitor my 5 email accounts, what a result. But now I come to attach JPG files as I would in outlook and they open into the content of text in the mail and will not stay closed but disrupt the message. Wholly unacceptable to my way of working with no cure.
    Scanning next, so I down loaded GIMP to replace PSP which I find useless so back to PSP I go again via XP & Fusion.
    Next and finally the VC project, Now please bare in mind that all I want to do is shoot film, upload it to edit it and then mount it on the web page. I have no desire to become any form of expert in the field just get the job done.
    So reviewed iMovie to understand the spec. Realise it has limitation and reviewed FCE which seems to plug the gaps and boarders on being more professional.
    At this point I must say I’m not totally new to this subject as I have used Studio8 and a JVC GR-DVL166EK video cam a couple of years ago and got on ok without any issues simple plug and play with great results.
    Having reviewed the standards that the software is reported to work too without any publicly declared exclusions or exceptions by Apple I went shopping for the VC. (I didn’t know of the forum at the time and to the best of my knowledge Apple don’t advise of its existence in any product information on anything I have bought.)
    I buy a Panasonic HDC-HS9 for £700 which doesn’t flaming work despite the fact that it should based on all the standards quoted by both manufactures and there are no disclaimers from either party that it won’t work.
    I have reviewed the compatibility list on the support page (now I know its there) and find that the Panasonic HDC-SD5 does work. I reviewed the comprehensive detailed model spec on the Panasonic web site and there is no differences between the to models at all accept the HDD.
    So why don’t it work?
    *At the end of the day can anyone please recommend a VC that will produce high quality results without the need of a 3rd party software to connect and upload files convert and muck about instead of getting on with the job.*
    And if all the publicised specs don’t allow you to conclude compatibility how can you protect your investment? Where do we legally stand and where is the accountability to the consumer.
    <edited by host>
    I am that fed up with the last 3 months of mucking about Bill Gat*es may just get me back.
    Thanking anyone in anticipation for some meaning advise and help.
    Regards
    Alan

    Hi, and thanks for you interest. The problems is that whether I'm using iMovie or FCE I get to a stage where the thumbnail image is present but if you try to play, import or any other action in either app it closes down and a message comes up " The Application Final Cut Express/iMovie quit unexpectedly - Mac OS X and other application are not affected" then asks if I wish to relaunch. I then hit the report to Apple button and afterwards relaunch. I was recommended to use Voltaic which I have tried, it worked but is to much mucking about for something that should work out of the box.
    This problem happens on both the iMAC and the MacBook so quite sure it's not a OS software issue. All software update are up to date also.
    Any ideas?

  • Not able to start out of the box approval workflow programmatically

    We have a requirement to start an out of the box workflow from a .NET web service.
    We are using the StartWorfklow method:
    wfManager.StartWorkflow(item, association, association.AssociationData
    we are getting the below error message at the above line of code: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.. Data: System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal
    Then, we tried:
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
            wfManager.StartWorkflow(item, association, association.AssociationData,
    SPWorkflowRunOptions.Synchronous);
    Now, the workflow got canceled automatically with "Failed on Start" status. In the "Workflow History", it is showing 2 records with "was canceled by System Account." & "failed to start" in the description
    column.
    Please advise.

    Hi Zhengyu,
    1. I've already done that:
    a) when "SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()"
    is used, there are no errors showing up and code gets executed. However, the workflow failed to start.
    b) When I don't use elevated privileges, the code is showing an error (Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.. Data: System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal) when
    it tries to start the workflow (StartWorkflow method).

  • Add javascript to Out of the box Modal Dialogue Box in Sharepoint 2010.

    Hi,
    We have Sharepoint and Project Server 2010 SP-2 enviroment. We are using Project Server Timesheet for our managing Time logging.
    Project Server 2010 has "Add existing task" Modal Dialogue box in which I want to add "Javascript" code in order to sort the Project Server Timesheet Line Claasification listbox control in Ascending order.
    As you can see from below screenshot "Standard" the Out of the box timesheet line classification is coming at top and then our custom line classification coming.
    But I want to sort this list in ascending order so that this "Standard line classification can come at the bottom of the listbox control.
    Please suggest me how can I achieve this.
    Thanks much !!!

    Thanks SaiRam from input, I can get JQuery for sorting the control over the internet no issue. I have to pass the ControlId in J-Query to sor the items in that control and I am not able to get the control id as it;s modalk dialogue box.
    Can you please explain further here, also let me know in case I am wrong in my understanding.

  • In search of assistance learning how to modify the mail message from an out of the box SP2010 approval workflow.

    So, I have found the article
    http://punaro.com/2012/01/derek/modifying-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-email/comment-page-1/ which appears to walk through the process of modifying an out of the box workflow's mail message.
    However, there is a basic problem that I run into before I get started.
    I am logged into the system as a regular user (ie not a farm admin, etc.).
    I do, however, have full control on the site on which I am working.
    I create a custom list.
    I create a simple one step approval - sharepoint 2010 out of the box workflow.
    I start SharePoint designer and give it the URL of the list. It opens up and I see the various objects on the left side of the screen.
    I click right on the Workflows object - which is where the article says I will find the ability to copy and modify the workflow.
    All I see is "open", "open in a new tab" and "Pin".
    I selecdt open in a new tab - and I get a blank screen labeled workflows that says "There are no items to show in this view".
    So, I click on Lists and Libraries, then on the name of my custom list.
    When the list displays, the Workflows section of the page has a "Modified Workflow" displayed.
    When I right click on it, no menu is shown. When I click on the modified workflow, I get the workflow settings page for that workflow.
    I am trying to figure out how to create the copy of the workflow so that I can modify one of the mail messages in SharePoint designer.
    Is there someone who has some advice on how to find this copy and modify option?  Or perhaps a web site, web forum, article series, or book covering the topic?
    Thank you! 

    Hi lwvirden,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the OOB approval workflow in SharePoint Designer.
    After opening the site in SharePoint Designer, just click Workflows in the left panel and then the workflows in the site will load in the right part.
    If you want to copy and modify the OOB approval workflow, then you need to right the approval workflow
    Approval – SharePoint 2010 under Globally Reusable Workflow. After that you will see the
    Copy and Modify button.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Out of the box sharepoint online 2013 workflow

    Hi All,
    I have a workflow that sends a email to a user after creating a new document.
    Now a want to attach a document to this email but this is not possible with the out of the box SharePoint 2013 solution. I use the SP 2010 workflow because I need to send a email to an external user.
    Is there a solution that I can use to attach a document to a email in a workflow?

    Not possible out of the box. Just curious why would you want to email someone files over the email? I think the logical way is to simply send the item link. This will show user the item details and attachments.
    Anyways, If that's the way you want to do it then check the following codeplex solution out.

    I would still recommend you to send the current Item URL in the email instead of sending document as an attachment.

  • Out of the box approval workflow suddenly failed on start (retrying)

    SharePoint 2010. I've been using out of the box approval workflow for several month now. I did some minor changes to it, like to who and when emails should be send, but that's all.
    Then out of a sudden it stopped working. New request status is "Failed on start (retrying)". Sometimes (!) status is "In Progress", but no tasks are created. In both cases there is nothing on workflow history and error report is also empty
    (it even cause an error "Report contains no data").
    I'm sure that I didn't change anything in a workflow. The only think that I changed was an InfoPath form, but I only added there field "Created By", so I would see in calendar later who created this request. I couldn't see how this might affect workflow
    process.
    I'm confused as I don't even know where to start searching for the solution. Why this might happen? Any ideas are very welcome!

     In my list I have a multiple choice field which is not required. When it was
    blank my workflow was failing on start! This field was not involved in a workflow directly, I included it only in the email to approver. When I deleted it from an email everything was fine.
