VERY LARGE BUG in latest Net8 installation

I started working at a shop which is running Oracle 8.0.6 on Solaris, and the original installation disks are across the city, I do not have immediate access to them. One cannot install the latest Net8 ODBC drivers without the Universal Installer. I downloaded and configured the only available Universal Installer, version 1.7.0.20.0A from the Oracle web site (3 failed downloads, thank you very much!) and now, when it hits the check for older dependencies (the part where the installation instructions say just click "YES" to continue), it can't continue (the installer only presents "OK"). I have tried to backwards apply all the other installations of Net8 (<OS>.prd files won't work with the installer I configured, it's too new) from the ground up, and this does not work (the dependency check nails it every time). All I want to do is install this driver, and I have reasoned now that it seems to be impossible. I'm not hopeful that you'll answer this (you didn't respond to my post yesterday at all), but I just thought you should know that you may want to rewrite your install, because it basically ***** big time. Thanks for all the running around.

When Oracle 8.0.6 is installed, it should install the proper version of the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
If you go to, Start | Programs | Oracle for Windows NT | Oracle Installer, you should be able to pull up the version of OUI needed to install the latest 8.0.6 ODBC driver.

  • Slow Performance or XDP File size very large

    There have been a few reports of people having slow performance in their forms (tyically for Dynamic forms) or file sizes of XDP files being very large.
    These are the symptoms of a problem with cut and paste in Designer where a Process Instruction (PI) used to control how Designer displays a specific palette is repeated many many times. If you look in your XDP source and see this line repeated more than once then you have the issue:
    The problem has been resolved by applying a style sheet to the XDP and removing the instruction (until now). A patch has been released that will fix the cut and paste issue as well as repair your templates when you open them in a designer with the patch applied.
    Here is a blog entry that describes the patch as well as where to get it.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2009/03/post.html

    My XDP file grow up to 145mb before i decided to see what was actually happening.
    It appears that the LvieCycle Designer ES program sometimes writes alot of redundant data... the same line millions of times over & over again.
    I wrote this small java program which reduced the size up to 111KB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (wow what a bug that must have been!!!)
    Here's the sourcecode:
    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.BufferedWriter;
    import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
    import java.io.FileReader;
    import java.io.FileWriter;
    import java.io.IOException;
    public class MakeSmaller {
    private static final String DELETE_STRING = "                           <?templateDesigner StyleID aped3?>";
    public static void main(String... args) {
      BufferedReader br = null;
      BufferedWriter bw = null;
      try {
       br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0]));
       bw = new BufferedWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(args[0] + ".small")));
       String line = null;
       boolean firstOccurence = true;
       while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        if (line.equals(DELETE_STRING)) {
         if (firstOccurence) {
          bw.write(line + "\n");
          firstOccurence = false;
        } else {
         bw.write(line + "\n");
         firstOccurence = true;
      } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (IOException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
       if (br != null) {
        try {
         br.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {

         bw.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
    File that gets generated is the same as the xdp file (same location) but gets the extension .small. Just in case something goes wrong the original file is NOT modified as you can see in the source code. And yes Designer REALLY wrote that line like a gazillion times in the .xdp file (shame on the programmers!!)
    You can also see that i also write the first occurrence to the small file just in case its needed...

  • Today, I randomly happened to have less than 1GB of hard drive space left. I found very large "frame" files, what are they?

    I found very large "frame" files, what are they & can I delete them? (See screenshot). I'm a (17 today)-year-old film-maker and can't edit in FCP X anymore because I "don't have enough space". Every time I try to delete one, another identical file creates itself...
    If that can help: I just upgraded to FCP 10.0.4 and every time I launch it it asks to convert my current projects (I know it would do it at least once) and I accept, but everytime I have to get it done AGAIN. My computer is slower than ever and I have a deadline this friday
    I also just upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7.4, and the problem hasn't been here for long, so it may be linked...
    Please help me!
    Alex

    The first thing you should do is to back up your personal data. It is possible that your hard drive is failing. If you are using Time Machine, that part is already done.
    Then, I think it would be easiest to reformat the drive and restore. If you ARE using Time Machine, you can start up from your Leopard installation disc. At the first Installer screen, go up to the menu bar, and from the Utilities menu, first select to run Disk Utility. Completely erase the internal drive using the Erase tab; make sure you have the internal DRIVE (not the volume) selected in the sidebar, and make sure you are NOT erasing your Time Machine drive by mistake. After erasing, quit Disk Utility, and select the command to restore from backup from the same Utilities menu. Using that Time Machine volume restore utility, you can restore it to a time and date immediately before you went on vacation, when things were working.
    If you are not using Time Machine, you can erase and reinstall the OS (after you have backed up your personal data). After restarting from the new installation and installing all the updates using Software Update, you can restore your personal data from the backup you just made.

  • Capture Image Of A Very Large JPanel

    Below is some code used to save an image of a JPanel to a file...
        int w = panel.getSize().width;
        int h = panel.getSize().height;
        BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
        // Make the component believe its visible and do its layout.
        panel.addNotify();
        panel.setVisible(true);
        panel.validate();
        // Draw the graphics.
        panel.print(graphics);
        // Write the image to a file.
        ImageFile imageFile = new ImageFile("test.png");
        imageFile.save(image);
        // Dispose of the graphics.
        graphics.dispose();This works fine but my problem is that I am trying to save what may be a very large JPanel, perhaps as large as 10000x10000 pixels. It doesn't take long for the java heap to be used up and an exception to be thrown.
    I know I can increase the heap size of the JVM but since I can't ever be sure how large the panel may be that's a far from ideal solution.
    So the question is how do I save an image of a very large JPanel to a file?

    1) Does the OoM happens while instantiating the buffered image, (which probably tries to allocate a big continuous native array of pixels)?
    Or the Graphics object (same reason, though the Graphics is probably just an empty shell over the big pixel array)?
    2) In which format do you need to save the image? Do you only need to be able to read it again in your own program?
    If yes to both questions, then a pulled-by-the-hair solution coud be to instantiate your own Graphics subclass (no Buffered Image), whose operations would save their arguments directly to the image file, instead of into a big in-memory model of the panel image.
    If the output format is a standard one though (GIF, JPG,...), then maybe your custom Graphics's operations could contain the logic to encode/compress as much as possible of the arguments into an in-memory bytearray of the target format?
    I'm not very confident though; I d'ont know the GIF or JPEG encoding, but I suspect (especially for JPEG) that you need to know the "whole" image to encode it properly.
    But if the target format supports encoders that work on the fly out of streams of bytes (e.g. BMP ) then you can use whatever compress/uncompress technique you see fit (e.g. RLE ): you know the nature of the panels, you may be aware of some optimizations you may perform wrt pixels storage. prior to encoding (e.g., bug empty areas, predictable chessboard pattern, black-and-white palette,...).

  • Need help with "Very large content bounds" error...

    Hey guys,
    I've been having an issue with Adobe Muse [V7.0, Build 314, CL 778523] - one of the widgets I tried from the Exchange library seemed to bug out and created a large content box.
    This resulted in this error:

  • Editing very large MP3 Files

    Hello,
    Sorry for my bad English! I am French!
    I recently bought a Sony digital recorder (ICD-PX312) that records MP3 files.
    I recorded my noisy neighbour, in continuous mode for three days. (I was not at home)
    PX312 recorder has produced several files which maximum size is  511,845 kB corresponding to a lenght of 24H 15min.
    Every file, checked with Mediainfo, have the same properties. (48kbps 44.1KHz)
    I can read them with VLC media player without any problem, but I need to edit these files to keep only the interesting parts.
    If I open (drag and drop or open file) these files with Audition 1.0 (I came from Cool-Edit), I found a very strange behavior.
    The 24H 15min files are opened with a lenght of 1H and a half or so!.
    I gave a try opening with Audition 3.0 and the result is strange too, and more "funny":
    The lenght of one 24H15min file is 1H and a half
    The lenght of another 24H 15min file is 21H or so.
    In the Audition TMP directory, Audition has created several 4 GB temporay files that correspond to the limit of the WAV files.
    I made a test with a 128kpbs, 44.1khz. This 511,845 kB file is  9H 5min long
    Audition read it as 4H40min
    The TMP file is 2,897,600 kB, far below the 4 GB limit
    It seems Audition 1 and 3 (I read CS5 has the same problem too) does not share the WAV conversion very well.
    Is it due to Audition itself or to the Fraunhofer MP3 codec?
    Is there any workaround from Adobe?
    As I am an AVS4YOU client, I tried AVS Audio Editor. It opens every file with the good lenght but does not have the needed editing functions. That demonstrates that it is possible to share very large files.
    Many thanks in advance for any help or idea, because Audition is the editor I need!
    Best Regards

    t's not their 'bug' at all. MP3 files work fine, and Adobe didn't invent the wav file format, Microsoft did. It's caused by the 32-bit unsigned integer to record the file size headerincorporated into wav files, which limits their size to one that can be described within that limit - 4Gb.
    May be I was not clear enough in my explanation
    I Agree partly with you.
    I Agree with you when you wrote that the 4 GB limit is inherant to the Microsoft WAV format.
    When reading 24H MP3 Files, Audition 3.0 creates, in TMP folder, two chunk of 4 GB and another smaller chunk, to try to overcome the limit. This cutting process is exactly what I am expecting from such a software.
    The problem - and the bug - is that the duration  that is "extracted" in audition is smaller than that of the original MP3 (e.g. 21H 30min instead of 24H 15min). Some part of the original MP3 files has been skipped in the cuttng/conversion process.
    I dont think Microsoft is involved in this "cutting" process that belongs to Adobe an/or Fraunhofer. This is why I am surprised

  • What is the optimum core configuration for a new Mac Pro to process and manipulate very large (80 megapixel) images using PhotoShop and Camera Raw?

    Hello:
    I will be using creative techniques to process and manipulate a large number (hundreds) of very large (80 megapixel) images captured using a medium format digital back (Phase One IQ180).
    Final output will be digital fine art imagery printed using an Epson 11880 at large sizes (up to 60 inches x ?), retaining the highest possible quality and resolution. I will be using Adobe CC PhotoShop and Camera RAW as well as Capture One software. PhotoShop filters will be used extensively.
    The Mac Pro needs to be optimized for the above purpose and be useful for at least five years. I plan to max out all the other options (RAM, graphics cards, storage). Performance is more important than cost.
    The few discussions I have found that mention optimum core configurations seem to lean toward 6 or 8 (but likely are not taking into consideration my need for manipulating a large number of very large files), so I am looking to this foum for opinions.
    Thank you,
    Kent

    was recently sent a very large emoji message amd now when i try to acces messages it will not display mesagges and then will bring me back to the home page

    Quit the messages app and reset your phone.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    After the phone restarts go into Messages and delete the thread containing the problem message.

  • In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

    In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
    At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
    The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.
    From Ian in Paris, France

    I worked it out.
    Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
    Go to your HD.
    Go to Users.
    Go to your House (home)
    there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
    Go to Mail in this folder
    The next folder ( for me ) is V2
    Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
    Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
    Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
    In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
    In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
    This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
    Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
    It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
    Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
    Best wishes.

  • How do I stop itunes from downloading a very large apps that I downloaded direct to my iphone?

    To get around my 5GB limit for internet service, I download a very large (350MB) dictionary app directly to my iphone using a wireless website run by a merchant in town. Now every time I run itunes, it wants to download the app. Is there any way I can stop itunes from attempting the download?

  • Is there a way to split a very large 1 page pdf into letter size multiple page pdf?

    I often have very large single page pdfs that need to be printed onto letter size paper.  Usually I don't have access to the printer where I'm working so I have to send the file to someone for printing. 
    I have AXI pro, they don't. 
    I want to make sure the job is printed as I specify and most of the users are using Reader.  So I want to give the someone the pdf ready to print sized in legal.  This requires manipulation of the pdf that I don't seem to be able to figure out how to do.
    In older versions of Acrobat, I could print to a new pdf and designate the page size.  Acrobat would create the multipage pdf.  The newer versions don't allow this. 
    With OSX 10.8 & AXI you can't save, export, split a one page (68" x 16") document into multiple page letter size (16 pages) pdf.
    Perhaps this can be done by printing to eps and running through distiller again or something else, but I'm stumped at the moment.
    Any suggestions of how to attach this would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    That's a tough one. Acrobat is not designed for tiling PDF files to create another PDF. That's really what you're asking. There is the option to PRINT to a PDF, and turn on the Poster feature. If were in Windows where there is a real Adobe PDF printer driver, you could probably use that feature. But for various reasons (too complicated to describe here), that was withdrawn on the Macintosh.
    If you have a copy of Adobe InDesign, and if you installed an Adobe PDF 9 PPD file (see description below), it could be done in a somewhat awkward way. InDesign allows you to place PDF files so you would need to make a page of the proper size and place your large PDF:
    Then after installing the Adobe PDF 9 PPD file, you could choose File > Print. Then choose to print a PostScript file to the Adobe PDF 9.0 PPD file. In the Setup panel, you'd choose a Letter size page. Then you'd choose the Tile option at the bottom and set the Overlap amount:
    Then you'd save the PostScript file and process through Distiller.
    My blog post below describes how to find and install the Adobe PDF 9.0 PPD file:

  • When writing an email the letters are so small that I can hardly read them. If I increase the size then the outgoing email letters are very large.

    letters are very large. I have tried changing the font but it doesn't help. This is very annoying. How can I remedy this?

    I use these settings, so try them:
    Tools > Options > Display > Formatting tab

    Menu icon > Options > Options > Display > Formatting tab
    * eg: Default font: Arial
    * size 14
    Note: this sets the default font to be used in both display of messages and the font to use as default in composing messages.
    Under Plain text Messages
    * select: Style : Regular Size: Regular and colour Black
    * Click on 'Advanced' button
    * make sure all sizes - 14
    * select; 'allow messages to use other fonts'
    * Select; 'Use fixed width fonts for plain text messages'
    * click on OK
    Note: This will use the default eg: Arial to be used, but allows the display of messages to use other fonts if the sender specified them.
    then at top click on 'Composition' > General tab
    note: This sets the default composing text colour and background colour.
    under HTML
    * Font: Variable width
