Visio UML - Long object lifetime run out of connector points

I have a sequence diagram that is attempting to model a relatively long business process over a large number of objects.
the problem is that as I extended the object lifetime swimlane I run out of connector points the automatically appear on the line, so I cannot attach a new activation shape.
How can I get more connector points to be automatically drawn on the line. I have been unable to use the Connection Point tool (Shift+Ctrl+1) to put new connection point directly on the swimlane, it keeps snapping to the grid lines and not to the line.
Cheers...
Robert

Hi,
If you are trying to create a point-to-point connection and having a difficult time gluing a connector exactly where you want it, try different snap and glue settings:
On the View tab, Visual Aids group, click the
Snap & Glue dialog box launcher, select the options that you want.
More reference: "Add, move, or delete connection points"

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge? Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?

How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
Check your power status
From the  menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
Copy and Paste in your reply.
The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
Long term storage (6 months):
Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

How do I add to my data plan on the iPad once I have run out and no longer have an internet connection? I am working out of the country and got a message that I was running low,followed immediatly by a you're out message.

Should you not be asking your carrier? They are the people supplying your data plan.

HT201317 My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

Run out of licenses, can do 20 reports in 20 minutes before receiving error

I have a problem with running out of Licenses when using our ASP.NET Web Application.Our Web Application exports and opens a Crystal Report to PDF when the user clicks on the report link. Unfortunately we have only a certain number of licenses available and after each use it's useless for about 20 minutes! In a 20 minute period we are able to run up to 20 reports before getting the "out of licenses" error page. So if you have 5 users going through multiple reports in a short time we've run out of licenses and they have to wait 20 minutes before trying again!?! I am trying to find a means of improving this and have a few thoughts on how:<ol><li>Close the license being used (and make available to somebody else) once the report is created. We generally do not have 20 concurrent users at any time but in a 20 minute time span we can have over 20 report requests. </li><li>Shorten the time before the license becomes available again (like to 5 minutes) Long enough for even the larger reports to run, but short enough that the chances of 20 reports being requested in a 5 minute period is slim. </li><li>Save the License use for that particular USER for the period of time (so if they open 1 or 10 reports it all utilizes the same License). This would work fine because it's a small office of just over 20 users and the chance of everybody accessing reports in that same 20 minutes is very low. </li></ol> If anybody has any ideas, suggestions, hints, or "it can't be done" I would greatly appreciate it! We haven't found anything in the RAS settings and I haven't found anything that effects the LICENSING in .NET (and using Report.Close() does not free up the license). Thanks,~Drew 

Alright, I seem to have some success in fixing this issue, though it isn't the 100% best solution. I create the ReportDocument in the Global.asax.vb file 
<blockquote />Dim crpt As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument Session.Contents.Add("crpt", crpt)</blockquote>and then I re-use this in the page that exports the file to PDF and displays it. Since this is created as a session-level object in Global.asax.vb I reference it in the display page as Session("crpt") and I clean it up by the end of the page but I don't make the session object into nothing.<blockquote>If Not IsNothing(Session("crpt")) Then<blockquote>Session("crpt").Close() System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(Session("crpt"))</blockquote>End If </blockquote>Then on Session End in the Global.asax.vb I clean up the Session variable and call the garbage collection.<blockquote>If Not IsNothing(Session("crpt")) Then<blockquote>Session("crpt").Close() System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(Session("crpt")) Session("crpt") = Nothing Session("crpt").Dispose()</blockquote>End If GC.Collect() </blockquote>It seems to be working at this time though there is the limitation that now everybody who enters the web application gets an object whether or not they are going to run reports. The more ideal situation would be for the object to not be created until the user enters the report page or have the page that creates/displays the report to check if the object exists and if it does not to create the object.

Help!!! create & destroy CORBA object at run time

I am develop an program using CORBA (Java IDL and JDK 1.3 on Win 98 OS) that involved login-logout mechanism. Someone can login into my program, by access HTML file from the server machine that contained an applet, via browser (NN 6).
(the client and server run on same machine)
If somebody login, says Mr.X, and make mistakes by type an invalid password, my program still (can) work by opening a wrong account/record belong to other people who (login and) logout last time before Mr.X login. It is a wrong result.
I know the reason why this could be happen, its all because Java IDL support the CORBA transient object type. This transient object has the same lifetime as the execution of the server process that creates it. And it cause a problem for me.
According to the explanation above, i have some questions :
1. How to create, access, and destroy (delete) any CORBA object on demand (at run time) without have to shut down the server (process), in order to release any data/record hold by the CORBA object ?
2. If Java IDL cannot create and destroy a CORBA object on demand (at run time), how do I solve my problem above ?
If Java IDL cannot delete any CORBA object at run time, can it just delete any value (refresh data) that the object hold so any new data can be add again ?
3. if i run my program on 2 different machine, it result an error : COMM_FAILURE minor code 1398079490. How do I fix it ? any solution for this error ?
i really need any help, this program is my final project
i will appreciate any help and answers
thanks in advance

I'm using the POA implementation in java 1.4, but the api docs
aren't very helpful in terms of what all the various policy
values really do. I've got a servant that gets created by a
request on a different object, and needs to stay around until
the client tells it to go away. All the material that I've found
on how to use CORBA in Java is either pre-POA, or doesn't
cover any kind of management policies like servant retention.
Can someone tell me how to do this, or am I stuck trying to
wade through the CORBA 2.3 spec and hoping that I can
figure out how the stuff really works in Java?

MBP running out of battery power before sleeping - Help!

Hi
My MacBook Pro has been running out of battery power before the memory-saving sleep mode kicks in, so it dies with a little click of the HD. It's not a hibernation state as when I reattach the power supply it boots up a new session.
I've noticed this since upgrading to Snow Leopard last year, but put it down to an old battery that had 45% charge and wasn't powering the MBP properly. I now have a replacement A1175 5600mAh battery which is giving me 2-3hrs usage (which I'm pleased at), but now it still dies before sleeping!
I have tried to cycle the new battery, but can't. I have reset the SMC several times, with no effect.
I used to cycle the battery every week or two, running it down until it would no longer wake from sleep, recharge overnight etc, but now I can't do this because it will die before sleeping!
I've read quite a few articles over the net about this issue, but there seems like no cure. It's really annoying me now as I frequently work on the move and a dying MBP could potentially be disastrous.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Is there something I haven't tried yet? I think it's a late '06 MBP.

If you are not getting a warning, then there is something amiss with your battery. If a SMC reset and calibration does not fix the problem, then you may need to make an appointment at the genius bar and arrange to have your battery tested.
My old battery started doing the same thing--shutting down without warning. I replaced it, and the replacement battery started doing the exact same thing. I then returned the replacement, and the next replacement battery behaves in a normal fashion.
My first battery was worn out. My second battery was defective. My third battery is good.
Your battery should still be under warranty. Go back to where you got it and show them what it is doing and see if you can get a replacement.
Good luck!

How can I avoid running out of memory when creating components dynamically

Hello everyone,
Recently, I am planning to design a web application. It will be used by all middle school teachers in a region to make examination papers and it must contain the following main functions.
1)Generate test questions dynamically. For instance, a teacher who logs on the web application will only see a select one menu and a Next Quiz button. The former is used for determining the number of options for the current multiple/single choice question. The later is dedicated to creating appropriate input text elements according to the selected option number. That is to say, if the teacher selects 4 in the menu and presses the Next Quiz button, 5 input text form elements will appear. The first one is for the question to be asked such as "1.What is the biggest planet in the solar system?", the others are optional answers like a)Uranus. b) Saturn. c)Jupiter. d)Earch. Each answer stands for an input text elements. When the teacher fills in the fourth answer, another select one menu and Next Quiz button will emerge on the fly just under this answer, allowing the teacher to make the second question. The same thing repeats for the following questions.
2)Undo and Redo. Whenever a teacher wants to roll back or redo what he has done, just press the Undo or[i] Redo button. In the previous example, if the teacher selects the third answer and presses the Delete button to drop this answer, it will delete both the literal string content[i] and the input text element, changing the answer d to c automatically. After that, he decides to get back the original answer c, Jupiter, he can just click the Undo button as if he hadn�ft made the deleting operation.
3)Save the unfinished working in the client side. If a teacher has done half of his work, he can choose to press the Save button to store what he has done in his computer. The reason for doing so is simply to alleviate the burden of the server. Although all finished test papers must be saved in a database on the server, sometimes the unfinished papers could be dropped forever or could form the ultimate testing papers after several months. So if these papers keep in the server, it will waste the server computer�fs room. Next time the teacher can press the Restore button on the page to get the previously stored part of the test paper from his own computer and continue to finish the whole paper.
4)Allow at least 1,000 teachers to make test papers at the same time. The maximum question number per examination paper is 60.
Here are my two rough solutions,
A.Using JSF.
B.Using JavaScript and plain JSP[b] without JSF.
The comparison of the two solutions:
1)Both schemas can implement the first and the second requirements. In JSF page I could add a standard panelGird tag and use its binding attribute. In the backing bean, the method specified by the binding attribute is responsible for generating HtmlInput objects and adding them to the HtmlPanelGird object on the fly. Every HtmlInput object is corresponding to a question subject or an optional answer. The method is called by an actionListener, which is registered in the Next Quiz commandButton, triggering by the clicking on this button in the client side. Using JSF can also be prone to managing the HtmlInput objects, e.g. panelGird.getChildren().add(HtmlInput) and panelGird.getChildren().remove(HtmlInput) respond to the undoing operation of deleting an optional answer and the redoing operation of the deleting action respectively. I know JavaScript can also achieve these goals. It could be more complex since I don�ft know well about JavaScript.
2)I can not find a way to meet the third demand right now. I am eager to know your suggestion.
3)Using JSF, I think, can�ft allow 1,000 teachers to do their own papers at the same time. Because in this scenario, suppose each questionnaire having 60 questions and 4 answers per question, there will be approximately 300,000 HtmlInput objects (1,000X60X(4+1)) creating on the server side. The server must run out of memory undoubtedly. To make things better, we can use a custom component which can be rendered as a whole question including its all optional answers. That is to say, a new custom component on the server side stands for a whole question on the client side. Even so, about 60,000(1,000X60) this type of custom components will be created progressively and dynamically, plus other UISelectOne and UICommand objects, it also can�ft afford for most servers. Do I have to use JavaScript to avoid occupying the server's memory in this way? If so, I have to go back and use JavaScript and plain JSP without JSF.
Thank you in advance!
Best Regards, Ailsa
2007/5/4

Thank you for your quick response, BalusC. I really appreciate your answer.
Yes, you are right. If I manually code the same amount of those components in the JSF pages instead of generating them dynamically, the server will still run out of memory. That is to say, JSF pages might not accommodate a great deal of concurrent visiting. If I upgrade the server to just allow 1,000 teachers making their own test papers at the same time, but when over 2,000 students take the same questionnaire simultaneously, the server will need another upgrading. So I have to do what you have told me, using JS+DOM instead of upgrading the server endlessly.
Best Regards, Ailsa

I have a file where I am running out of memory can anyone take a look at this file and see?

I am trying to make this file 4'x8'.
Please let me know if anyone can help me get this file to that size.
I have a quad core processor with 6 gig of ram and have gotten the file to 50"x20", but I run out of memory shortly thereafter. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Where to begin? You should look into using a swatch pattern instead of those repeating circles. Also, I see that each circle in your pattern is actually a stack of four circles, but I see no reason why. Perhaps Illustrator is choking on the huge number of objects required to make that patterns as you haave constructed it.
Here is a four foot by eight foot Illustrator file using a swatch pattern. Note that, despite the larger size, the file is less than one 16th the size.

PowerBook Seems to be Running out of Memory

So, my computer has been slowing down a lot lately. I got it new two years ago, and I'm not sure if it's normal for it to be slowing down this much.
When I change the volume, it takes a couple seconds for the sound and icon to appear, and it also slows down any applications I'm running.
If I try to open two or three programs like Safari or Mail at the same time, it can take up to a minute to load them all whereas it used to do it in around 10 seconds. Safari also has been unexpectedly quitting a lot lately.
I currently have 256 megs of RAM. Do you think I need more? Or is there something easier/cheaper I can do?

How much free disc space do you have? With only 256MB RAM, you probably routinely use a lot of swap space. If your hard drive is getting full, you may be running out of continguous disc space for swap files.
matteo.85 - I've often left my powerbook on and running background tasks (research analyses) for as long as two weeks straight. I used to do the same thing with its predecessor, a 2nd rev. TiBook. Both machines run just fine, and leaving a laptop on for extended periods should not harm it in any way.
What a brody was getting at was the standard "maintenance" scripts (daily, weekly and monthly scripts that clean out log files, backup log contents, and clear out archived logs) normally are set to run in the wee hours of the morning (like 3:00a.m.). If those have not been allowed to run in awhile, the log files (in /private/var/log) may be getting huge and eating up a lot of disc space. MacJanitor, Onyx, and other freeware/shareware apps will clear these out for you if you shut your machine off (or sleep it) at night. Macaroni will reschedule the scripts to a time of your choosing (you can also do that manually yourself, by editing their plist files).

How to deal with the extremely big *.ost files in a Terminal Server environment which is running out of space

Hi,
Our Terminal Server is running out of hard disk space, and the major files which occupy most of the space are *.ost files of the Outook, which come form the users which use the Terminal Server all the time through remote desktop. The Outlook is installed
on the Terminal Server and various users can use it.
What would be a solution in this case. Is there a way to limit the size of the *.ost files? I read in forums that having the Outlook 2010 set up in Cached Exchange Mode isn't the best practice for an environment where the hdd space is a major constraint.
What do you suggest?
Thanks,

Is the Exchange server local or remote? If it's local then it might be worth considering disabling cached mode, since the traffic will be going over the local network and therefore having the data cached becomes much less useful. If it's a remote exchange
server then realistically turning off cached mode would likely make it unusable.
If Exchange is remote then other than increasing the available storage, another option might be to upgrade your Outlook / Office installation to 2013. In Outlook 2013 you can configure how much of the users mailbox is cached in terms of time, so for instance
you could set it to only cache the last 6 months worth of mail, and then all recent messages would continue to be quick to view, but older messages that are less likely to be accessed frequently would have to be downloaded from Exchange each time since they
would no longer be cached.

Time Machine failure: Disk run out of space unexpectedly

Hi
I'm having serious problems in the last few days with Time Machine backups.
I have an iMac '27 (late 2009) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. The internal disk is 1 TB, and I use an external FW HD LaCie d2 Quadra 1 TB for my TM backups. After 3 years the disk is always full, but old backups were regularly removed. All the possible source of large variable files were excluded long time ago (VM disks, temporary directories, large download files).
TM used to work quite smoothly, but now, since 10 days, the backup fails with the message
"The backup disk ran out of space unexpectedly. Time Machine will try to make more space available by removing expired backups during the next scheduled backup."
I've checked previous messages in the forum about such an error, but the various cases do not seem to match my specific problem (or I was not able to find the message with working answer).
It seems that the "unexpected" problem is related to the fact that Time Machine is trying to backup again a large part of my filesystem, and it determines this fact only after the backup starts (so there is no pre-cleaning): when it happens I can see that the target size of the backup increases over time, while more and more data are written on the disk, until the disk is full.
I'll try to summarize my situations with an itemized list:
The current backup fails because it runs out of space, leaving an .inprogress file behind
The latest backup did not fail: the log report a successful backup (checked with Time Machine Buddy)
Examining the content of the latest backup, the one that did not fails, shows that some system directories, /Applications, /usr, and /bin are missing
So, possibly, the "unexpected" error happens because the system is backing up a lot of stuff (like 60GB), and TM discover this only after it starts writing the files
I've verified with Disk Utility both the TM disk and the internal HD, and they both report no problem.
After some digging around, I was able to make TM work again removing the .inprogress file (using the Pondini instructions), removing (using the "Star Wars" interface) the latest backup, the one with the incomplete content, and removing a few older backups to create some more free space.
The first time I thought it was a transient problem, but it happened again after a few days.
So the real issue is, why the latest successful backup is actually incomplete, with a large number of directories missing, but there is no hint of this in the logs?
I've read that old LaCie HDs might have problems with Mountain Lion, and with its power saving settings. May this be the cause? I did already turn off the power saving setting (put HD to sleep when possible) before the latest failure, but nothing changed.
I've also tried to update the d2 Quadra firmware, as indicated by other messages and on LaCie website, but the update fails and the provided instructions are less than useful (I'll try to contact LaCie on this issue).
My doubt is that this does not seem a power save issue... the failed backups happen while I'm actually using the machine (so no wake up/disk spin issue seems to happen), and the backups starts with no problem: they just finish abruptly with no apparent reason but with a success message.
Does anyone have problems similar to mine (successful but incomplete TM snapshots)? Is the problem triggered by the HD firmware, or there are other possible causes?
I plan to repair the TM one more time, and then keep it turned off to run only manual backups, but I'm aware that there is no guarantee that also a controlled manually started backup is not going to fail in a similar way.
Thanks for any suggestion.
Maurizio

I am not running out of space, but I do have the same problem. Every so often TM does a backup which is about 60 GB bigger than expected. The extra is always a new backup of /System /Applications /usr etc. - that is the 'system files'.
The key thing is, as you have noticed:
Examining the content of the latest backup, the one that did not fail, shows that some system directories, /Applications, /usr, and /bin are missing
As a consequence the next backup is, in my case, 60 GB bigger because it includes all the system files.
It is as if 'systemFilesExcluded' was turned on for the previous backup (the one that 'did not fail'). But I have looked in the .exclusions.plist for this backup and it is exactly the same as for other backups and does include:
 <key>systemFilesExcluded</key>
 <false/>
It seems that TM is treating this as if <true/>.
Like you, I have done a disk verify and it finds no errors.
I think this must be a bug. I have had this on four occassions since upgrading to Mountain Lion. And it is doing a large one right now - I have caught it in the act!

I am receiving a notification that says that I am running out of storage space. I backed up time mating to an external hard drive. Can I delete some files to make room?

I am receiving notifications that I am running out of storage space. I backed up my mac book using an external and time machine. Can I delete some files to make room?
If so,
When I want to restore from my time machine, can I pick and choose, say certain songs, photos or documents?

About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive. You can also use the Time Machine application to selectively remove files, but that may be ineffective if you have to free up GBs of space.
