VERY simple guide to MDT

I am looking for a very simple guide to getting an MDT server online that duplicates Ghost's capabilities. I don't need 1,531 pages of planning and scripting documentation.
I want to:
Boot WinPE on a PC.
Push whatever is on that computer up to the server.
Boot WinPE on new PC.
Pull whatever is on the server down to the PC.
No pushing of applications post-install. Just. Really. Basic.
Until we got some new PCs that don't have WinPE 2 friendly NIC drivers, unattend files, sysprep and Ghost were just fine.

I understand simple, but I'll 'warn' you upfront that choices made without thinking them through may have consequences later.
In your case: install MDT, configure a share, look for an example what to do with your bootstrap.ini and customsettings.ini (there are many examples around, I have written some also)
Then build your reference PC (since you mention PC, I wouldn't dare to advise you building it in a VM like it's supposed to be done) then create a sysprep and capture task sequence, capture the image.
Create a deployment task sequence and push the image to targetted computers.
To automate things even a little bit more, you may want to consider:
WDS for PXE boot
DFS for replication to branche offices
And Ghost btw is so 2006. You almost make it sound like a punishment working with a great tool such as MDT!

Very simple example of distributed cache

Hi,
I followed the getting started guide and I have a config xml that lists a VirtualCache. Then I wrote a very simple main class, TestCache1 that does this:
private static NamedCache cache = CacheFactory.getCache("VirtualCache");
public static void main(String[] args) {
cache.put("hello", "hello");
and then a TestCache2 that gets the value:
private static NamedCache cache = CacheFactory.getCache("VirtualCache");
public static void main(String[] args) {
Object hello = cache.get("hello");
System.err.println(hello);
so I run TestCache1 and then i run TestCache2, but the result is "null". I have a very basic problem where I want one java class to add stuff to a cache that another java process can access. WHat do I need to do?
Thanks, Jason

Hi,

Simple guide to codecs?

Hello-
Can you recommend a simple guide to codecs? Or answer this please- should I be using a different codec for each type of output- DVD, web, CDROM, or do I just choose one and adjust FPS and size of image accordingly?
many thanks-
fetching
ny

Easy ones first, huh ?
http://www.fourcc.org/codecs.php There's a guide of sorts. Not very useful and likely to be confusing.
The answer is yes - each of those media have a different set of requirements based on length of show, perceived acceptable quality and size.
Dvd - apple have pretty much got most people covered with either iMovie and iDVD or the fcp, Compressor dvd sp route.
Web - whole other thing and you really need to decide who the audience is. Streaming or not. Mostly people opt for a .mov and a .wmv
CDRom - Interactive Content is a different kettle of fish again. I think Director (the app) still rules the roost, but it may not. Content is assembled .... somehow - and that's about as far as I'll go with Director. (never could get the hang of it).
You need to be specific when looking at delivery on different media.
Edit using the highest possible quality - 'coz the compression slope is a slippery one at best.

Problem with very simple 2 threads java application

Hi,
As fa as i'm concerned this is a thread licecycle:
1. thread created: it is dead.
2. thread started: it is now alive.
3. thread executes its run method: it is alive during this method.
4. after thread finishes its run method: it is dead.
No I have simple JUnit code:
public void testThreads() throws Exception {
WorkTest work = new WorkTest() {
public void release() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
public void run() {
for (int i=0;i<1000;i++){
log.debug(i+":11111111111");
//System.out.println(i+":11111111111");
WorkTest work2 = new WorkTest() {
public void release() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
public void run() {
for (int i=0;i<1000;i++){
log.debug(i+":22222222222");
Thread workerThread = new Thread(work);
Thread workerThread2 = new Thread(work2);
workerThread.start();
//workerThread.join();
workerThread2.start();
//workerThread2.join();
And
public interface WorkTest extends Runnable {
public abstract void release();
And that's it..
On the console I see 999 iterations of both threads only if i uncomment
//workerThread.join();
//workerThread2.join();
In other case I see random number of iterations - JUNIT finishes and Thread1 made 54 and Thread2 233 iterations - the numbers are different every time i start the JUnit..
What I want? Not to wait until the first one finishes - I want them to start at the same time and they must FINISH their tasks...
Please help me asap :(

This is very simple... Look at your code:
workerThread.start();
workerThread.join();
workerThread2.start();
workerThread2.join();What are you doing here? You start the first thread, then you call join(), which waits until it finishes. Then after it's finished, you start the second thread and wait until it finishes. You should simply do this:
workerThread.start();
workerThread2.start();
workerThread.join();
workerThread2.join();I.e., you start the 2 threads and then you wait (first for the first one, then for the second one).

Yes, you need to add a servlet -mapping element and adjust your form to submit to the appropriate URL mapping.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloWorldServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/Hello</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I am going to buy a macbook pro for grade 12, and I need to know wheather I should get a macbook pro or a macbook pro retina. If someone could tell me (in a very simple way) which one is,better for me and why, I would be ever so apprreciative.

Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
good luck

Very simple EJB 3.0 MDB but I get NullPointerException

I tried to create a very simple EJB 3.0 Message Driven Bean in JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 as follows:
Message Driven Bean Class:
import javax.ejb.MessageDriven;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.MessageListener;
@MessageDriven(mappedName="MDBQueue")
public class MDB implements MessageListener {

queueCon.close();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
But I get the following error:

I read similar problem in the this thread:
Re: message driven bean on ejb 3.0 does not work
some one said that the version in ejb-jar.xml must be changed from 2.1 to 3.0
but in this case there is no ejb-jar.xml.
( I have other cases with ejb-jar.xml file but I can't change the version in ejb-jar.xml)
the version in web.xml is 2.4 but it not accept any value except 2.4 and an error occur when I tried to change it to 3.0
please can you tell me why I get NullPointerException and how can I allow EJB 3.0 MDB and JMS to work in JDeveloper

Note that you can't run MDBs in the embedded OC4J in JDeveloper - try deploying to a stand-alone install of OC4J and see if it works there.

Very Simple Problem-- Need help in method selection process

Hello,
It's difficult to explain the background of the program I am making-- but I am stuck at a very simple problem, that I can only solve with a very long block of if statements:
I have 3 possible numbers-- 1, 2, or 3.
Imagine two numbers are already taken-- say 1 and 2. I want a variable to set itself to the number that's not taken (3).
So, again: If two numbers were taken say 2 or 3-- I want the variable to be sent to the other one that isn't taken-- 1.
Thank you for your help,
Evan.

Actually, I'll just tell you the context of the program-- here is what I have so far:
This program is meant to simulate Monty Hall Problem:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
The program sets up an array of three possible values. Each one of those values represents a door with either a goat or a car behind it. It then randomly sets one of those values to 1 (in order to represent a car as per the Monty Hall problem), and 0's represent goats.
The user, which is simulated by the program (does not involve actual interaction), chooses a door initially.
The game show hosts then reveals a door that is not the users initial choice, but IS a goat ( an array value of 0).
For example if the array was [0][0][1]
The user could pick door one (array position 0). Which is a goat.
The game show host then reveals a goat that is not the users choice-- which would be array position 1.
After the game show host reveals the goat-- I want the user to always switch his decision to the only other remaining door that was not his first choice.
Then I wanted the computer to test to see if his final choice is the one with a car. And to tally up the amount of times he got it right.
--Sorry that was long winded:
import TerminalIO.*;//imports TerminalIO package for system.out.println
import java.util.*;//import java.util for random
public class Monty_Problem
     int doors[]= {0,0,0};
     Random rand= new Random();
     double wins,totals=0;
     public void carAssignment()
          int car_door= rand.nextInt(3);
          doors[car_door]=1;
     public int judgesChoice(int judgeDoor, int initialChoice)
          if(judgeDoor != initialChoice && doors[judgeDoor]!=1)
               return judgeDoor;
          else
               return judgesChoice(rand.nextInt(3), initialChoice); //infinite loop right here that I cannot remedy. I want the program to have the judge pick a location that is not occupied by a '1' and is not the user's choice.
     public void gamePlaySwitches()
          int initialChoice= rand.nextInt(3);
          int judgeDoor = 0;
          int secondChoice= 0;
          judgeDoor= judgesChoice(rand.nextInt(3), initialChoice);
          //This part is meant to have the user switch choices from his initial choice
               // to the only other choice that hasn't been revealed by the judge.
          while(secondChoice == initialChoice || secondChoice== judgeDoor)
               secondChoice++;
          if(doors[secondChoice]==1)
               wins++;
               totals++;
          else
               totals++;
     public static void main(String [] args)//creates the main menu
          Monty_Problem a= new Monty_Problem();
          int games=0;
          while(games!=100)
                    a.carAssignment();
                    a.gamePlaySwitches();
                    games++;
          System.out.println(a.wins/a.totals);

How to create a very simple dyamic tree with rich faces

hi i have spent more than 5 days trying to make a very simple rich faces tree but with no result
i want to make a very simple dyamic tree
for example i have a button when i click it.i want to add two nodes in my tree("node 1" and "node 2")
i have also failed in making even a static tree with richfaces i think that some thing is wrong with them i checked the live demo website
http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/tree.jsf?c=tree
i have tried the source code but with no result :(
thank you

You can try something like this
<rich:tree switchType="server" >
<rich:treeNodesAdaptor nodes="#{CB.calendarioHandler.organizacion.departamentos}"
var="departamento">
<rich:treeNode>
<h:outputText value="#{departamento.nombre}"/>
</rich:treeNode>
<rich:treeNodesAdaptor nodes="#{departamento.empleados}"
var="empleado">
<rich:treeNode>
<h:outputText value="#{empleado.nombre}"/>
</rich:treeNode>
<rich:treeNodesAdaptor nodes="#{empleado.calendarios}"
var="calendario">
<rich:treeNode>
<h:outputText value="#{calendario.nombre}"/>
</rich:treeNode>
</rich:treeNodesAdaptor>
</rich:treeNodesAdaptor>
</rich:treeNodesAdaptor>
</rich:tree>
where departamentos, empleados and calendarios are just simple pojos lists.
I hope to help.

Creating a very simple XML-driven gallery

Hi, I'm learning XML in AS3 and I am having real trouble finding a resource that can help me learn how to build a very simple XML-driven picture gallery.
I am working in an FLA file with AS3, with a dynamic text field with the instance name "textfield". I also have a UILoader Component with the instance name "UILoaderComponent" and an XML file called "rootdir.xml".
I have an XML file in the following format.
<images>
     <imagenames>
          <name>image1</name>
          <name>image2</name>
          <name>image3</name>
          <name>image4</name>
          <name>image5</name>
     </imagenames>
     <imagepaths>
          <path>image1.jpg</path>
          <path>image2.jpg</path>
          <path>image3.jpg</path>
          <path>image4.jpg</path>
          <path>image5.jpg</path>
     </imagepaths>
</images>
I am using the following as my actionscript.
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("rootdir.xml"));
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
parseImg(xmlData);
function parseImg(imgLoad:XML):void {
var imgChild:XMLList = imgLoad.images.children();
for each (var imgTrace:XML in imgChild) {
trace(imgTrace);
No matter which way I experiment, I always have poor results with my dynamic text, and every tutorial I've followed does not reproduce anything like the same returned data in "textfield" that it does with the trace command.
My objective is: I simply want to build a menu inside a textbox called "textfield" that lists images1-5, and when clicked, calls upon the relevant image. For instance: I load the file "rootdir.xml" into the file "index.fla". I call a function to parse the XML into a dynamic text box called "textfield". When image 2 is clicked on the textbox "textfield", it would call upon a function that would load into the UIComponent Loader "image2.jpg".
Are there any tutorials for this? I'm so confused as to why dynamic text operates so differently from the trace command. I'm not interested in doing a fancy menu bar with thumbnails, scrollbars and animations, I just want to learn the basics.

I don't really see how you are getting a valid trace out of that code (I get nothing if I try it as is), but as far as the textfield goes, you haven't shown any attempt in your code that might help to point to why you cannot get the text into a textfield. It might be a problem with how you are trying to write to the textfield and not how your are manipulating the data.
While you could make use of a textfield for the menu, doing so is not straightforward, as you would need to implement htmlText with special coding in order to have the text clickable. You might consider using a List component or ComboBox instead.
What I always do when I am working with xml is to store the data into a data structure, usually an array conatining objects, and then make use of that structure rather than dippng into the xml data itself when I utilize the data.
Another thing, which rquigley demonstrated, is that your xml will serve its purpose better if the data for each image is collected under the same node. If you have separate sections for each piece of data like you have, when it comes to editing it will be more prone to error as you have to be sure you are editing the correct entry of each separate group.
I too am no expert in the world of xml, but I have not yet worked with parameters inside the tags, so I would usually structure it as...
<images>
   <image>
       <imgName>image 1</imgName>
       <imgPath>image1.jpg</imgPath>
   </image>
   <image>
       <imgName>image 2</imgName>
       <imgPath>image2.jpg</imgPath>
   </image>
</images>
Now, back to what you have... let's say you have a textField named imgText that you want to list the image names in. The following should work, though I do not go my usual route of storing the data into an object array first...
function parseImg(imgLoad:XML):void {
   var imgNames:XMLList = imgLoad.imagenames.name;
   var imgPaths:XMLList = imgLoad.imagepaths.path;
   // show name
   for each (var nameTrace:XML in imgNames) {
      trace(nameTrace);
      imgText.appendText(nameTrace +"\n");
   // show path
   for each (var pathTrace:XML in imgPaths) {
      trace(pathTrace);
      imgText.appendText(pathTrace +"\n");
   // show name and path
   for(var i:uint=0; i<imgNames.length(); i++){
      trace(imgNames[i].text()+" "+imgPaths[i].text());
      imgText.appendText(imgNames[i].text()+" "+imgPaths[i].text() +"\n");

Very simple mp3 player

What is an easy way to create a very simple flash mp3 player
in DW CS3? I
tried the DW mp3 plugin, but that caused confusion for
visitors who did not
know how or want to install a plugin. I googled "flash mp3
player" and
there are many available, but they support play lists and
many other
features. I just want to play one static mp3 url and have
Quicktime-like
controls of play, pause, rewind, etc. Any suggestions or
tutorials on how
to do this? If there is a simple tutorial on how to roll your
own in Flash,
I have Master Collection which includes Flash.
Best,
Christopher

I spent a couple of days reviewing various flash mp3 players
on the net and
decided to use SoundPlayer from FlashLoaded.com. For $35 it
works OK. But
here's my question. Why doesn't DW CS3 include a flash mp3
player component
similar to the flv player? Or did I miss it? Yes, I know the
generic
plugin can be used, but that requires visitors to install an
additional
plugin. Adding mp3 players to web pages would seem like a
common problem in
search of a simple solution in DW; why isn't a flash solution
included with
DW CS3 and/or Flash CS3? Am I missing something? This was my
first Flash
project, so perhaps I overlooked the obvious.
Best,
Christopher

I just want to reference the ID column from one table to be inserted into another table as DEV_ID.
Below are my: 1) Control File, 2) Datafile, 3) Table Description, 4) Table Description
1) CONTROL FILE:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'test.dat'
APPEND
INTO TABLE p_ports
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
DEV_id REF(CONSTANT 'P_DEVICES',NAME),
NAME FILLER ,
PORT_NO
2) DATAFILE:
COMM881-0326ES09,6
3) TABLE DESCRIPTION:
SQL> describe p_ports
Name Null? Type
ID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
DEV_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
PORT_NO NUMBER(3)

hi,
i managed to do this for my app. (think i referred to viewTransitions sample code and modified quite a bit)
i can't remember this well cos i did this quite a while back, but i will try to help as much as possible
1) from the appdelegate i initialize a root controller (view controller class)
2) this root controller actually contains two other view controllers, let's call it viewAController and viewBController, for the screens which u are going to toggle in between. and there's also a function, let's call it toggleMenu, which will set the menus to and fro. i copied this whole chunk from the sample code. it actually defines the code on what to do, i.e. if current view is A switch to B and vice versa.
3) inside the controller files, you need to implement the toggleMenu function too, which basically calls the rootController's toggleMenu
4) we also need viewA and viewB files(view class)
5) need to add the .xib files for the respective views and link them up to the controller class. i did not use the .xib files for ui layout though, because of my app's needs. however, it will not work properly without the .xib files.
5) inside the view class of both views, i.e. viewA.m and viewB.m, you need to create a button, that will call the toggleMenu function inside the respective controller class.
it will look something like this:
[Button addTarget:ViewAController action:@selector(toggleMenu:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
so the flow is really button (in view)-> toggleMenu(viewController) -> toggleMenu(rootController)
i'm sorry it sounds pretty hazy, i did this part weeks before and can't really remember. i hope it helps.

Very simple, but not working Table to Flat File

I'm new to ODI, but I am having too much difficulty in performing a very basic task. I have data in a table and I want to load the data to a flat file. I've been all over this board, all over the documentation, and all over the Googles, and I can not get this to work. Here is a run down of what I have done thus far:
1. created a physical schema under FILE_GENERIC that points to my target directory
2. created a logical schema that points to my new physical schema
3. imported a test file as a model (very simple, two string columns, 50 chars each)
4. set my parameters for my file (named columns, delimited, filename resource name, etc.)
5. created a new interface
6. dragged my new file model as the target
7. dragged my source table as well
8. mapped a couple of columns
9. had to select two KMs: LKM - SQL to SQL (for the source) & IKM - SQL to File Append (for the target)
10. execute
Now, here is where I started hitting problems. This failed in the "load data" step with the following error:
+7000 : null : java.sql.SQLException: Column not found: C1_ERRCODE+
I found a note on the forum saying to change the "Staging Area Different From Target" setting on the Definition tab. Did that and selected the source table's schema in the dropdown, ran again. Second error:
+942 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist+
This occurred in the "Integration - insert new rows" step.
The crazy thing is that in a step prior to this ("Export - load data"), the step succeeded and the data shows up in the output file!
So why is ODI trying to export the data again? And why am I getting an ORA error when the target is a file?
Any assistance is appreciated...
A frustrated noob!

I found the answer. But still not sure why this matters...
Following this tutorial, I recreated my mapping:
[http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/fusion_middleware/ODI/ODIproject_table-to-flatfile/ODIproject_table-to-flatfile.htm]
I was still getting the same error. I reimported my IKM and found that the "Multi-Connections" box was unchecked before and now it was checked. I may have unchecked it in my trial & error.
Anyway, after running the mapping again with the box checked, the extract to a file worked.
So, I'm happy now. But, I am also perturbed with the function of the this checkbox and why it caused so much confusion within ODI.
