W530 or wait until the release of the W540?

Hey there I'm looking into updating to something powerful enough mainly for editing videos, Web design and flight sims. The W530 is in my sights but is it worth waiting for the W540 (or whatever lenovo will rename the new portable workstation) and does anyone have any idea when the estimated release date is?
Any help with this decision will be appreciated thanks!

It can make CPU-intensive applications slower. One way around that is by using a program called Throttlestop, which re-enables turbo frequencies on battery power.

How to have DDL "wait" until the lock is free in 10g

I saw this for 11g: http://www.scribd.com/doc/247954/Oracle-11g-DDL-Wait-Option-feature
Moving to 11g is not an option. I have code that does partition maintenance (adds a new partition and drops an old one) at night. However, sql loader may be running and the table may be locked. This happened already. Is there anyway to get my code to wait until the lock is released?

The is no DDL option on the partition operations that I know of to tell the DDL to wait if it cannot get a lock. You will have to implement a procedural fix such as updating a row with a value to indicate the sqlldr job is running or if the sqlldr task is controled via a external table take a user lock then execute the partition operations via stored code that checks the user lock first.

Wait until the session has been processed

Hi folks,
I have a report in which I create and trigger an SM35 session. I use RSBDCSUB report to do the same.
Now, is there anyway to wait until the session has been processed? I mean, I need to do a few things in the report only after the session has been processed.
Thanks

Hi,
You could try checking the job status (table TBTCO) inside a DO or WHILE loop. To pause up to 5 seconds between your lookup on TBTCO, you can call function module 'RZL_SLEEP'.
If checking TBTCO does not work out for you, you can try the same loop logic with a call to function module 'ENQUEUE_BDC_QID' instead of looking up the job status. If the enqueue has been released then the job has finished.

I am trying to authorise my new macbook air and it won't let me. I try to de-authorise all the other computers and it says I can only do this once a year and have to wait until the 7th Feb. It does not give me an option to authorise this computer

I am trying to authorise my new macbook air for i-tunes and it won't let me. I try to de-authorise all the other computers and it says I can only do this once a year and have to wait until the 7th Feb. It does not give me an option to authorise this computer

Always remember to 'de-authorize' you computer when selling or sending for service. If sending for repairs you might not get the same mother board or HD back and some how this counts as an authorized computer against your count.

Remote function module to wait untill the response came from webmethods

hi all.
here i have got a situation that the remote function module created in SAP-R/3 to wait untill the response came from webmethods :
i have created the remote function module by assigning one structure in tables(tab) and 3 parameters in changing tab just to collect the messages return from webmethods
so this rfc will be called by webmethods and pick the structure data and then it wll return 3 variables back to rfc.
here the rfc need to wait untill the response came from webmethods.
so can any body suggest me on what source code do i need to write in RFC

Hi Naina,
Normally RFC are synchronous, they do have return parameter as export parameter.
If return parameter is missing then , you can create Wrapper RFC.
Wrapper RFC:
It is nothing but you just create BAPI in SE37 transaction with Return parameter as export parameter and make it remote enabled by clicking on Radio button.
Under source code, CALL BAPI which XI has to call.
Thats it!
I hope this helps.
Let me know if any help required.

How to wait until the 1st part of the processing is done

Hi,
I had a hard time to combine two parts of processing in one .vi file, and thus would like to get some advice/help through the forum.
Attached is the partial finished vi file I made. You can see that it is composed of two parts. The upper part is to run a bat file (check_result.bat), which generates a result.txt file. The lower part is to use the result.txt file as an input file, and check if the key word called "test case passed" is included in the result.txt file or not. So I want to run the upper part firstly, and then run the lower part after the upper part is finished.
However, I don't know how to connect the two parts in a right way that the lower part only starts running after the upper part is finished. Any comments/help is highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

The magic of dataflow!
All you need is a data dependency between the two parts. Often critical parts of each section contain error terminals, so you can just string em along in the proper order and each part must wait until the previous node has finished.
In your particular case, the read operation has no error input, so you can recruit any other input. Create a fake data dependency by strategically placing a small sequence frame containing common code. The sequence cannot start until all code that provides imputs has finished, serving your purpose.
Of course it seems silly to even try to read the file if the previous node failed. Right? So simply place the second part inside a case and hook it up to the error output. Now the second part (1) waits until the first part has finished AND (2) execute only of the first part succeeded. No sequence needed.
All clear?

Bluetooth connected phone call waits until the person answers to connect through speakers! How to change this.

When placing a bluetooth call the car shows that the phone is connected but there is no ringing (it is still ringing in the phone speaker). Then the person answers and it plays through the car speaker, but misses the first word. What is happening? I used to hear the phone ringing. Now it waits until the person answers.

This occurred when I updated the IOS to 8 and switched to an iphone 6 from a 5.
I read both articles and did not find a solution to my dilemma. To clarify further:
When hooked up through bluetooth to my 2011 Honda Accord
- incoming calls will ring the phone through the speakers and I can answer and speak through the speakers/car microphone by touching a switch on my steering wheel
- outgoing calls that I initiate by touching the phone number on the phone will ring in the phone until the person picks up, it then switches to the car speakers (unfortunately, the hand-off results in missing a word or two that the answering person has said). This did not work this way with my iphone 5 and ios 7.
I hope this is better communicated and there is an answer.
Thanks.

Should I just wait untill the Intel Mini's are out to make the switch over?

I have been somewhat active on this board for the last month or so looking at the Apple Mini. I want a computer that never really slows down, or crashes a lot. Also, I want a computer that can do some light video editing, and some light gaming (think: Battlefield 1942!).. I'm thinking about waiting till the New Intel Mini's come out but I really don't know when that will be! I don't know if I can hold on for 8 more months with this crappy thing they call an OPERATING SYSTEM.
Do you guys know when the Intel's are coming out? When they do, thats when I might make the switch from XP to mac OX.
Thank you all!

Though a bit belatedly, I thought it might be worth pointing out an issue that ought to cross the minds of those considering buying a mini but not sure whether to wait for the Intel models or not.
Aside from the fact that no-one knows when the Intel minis will be announced and what specs (thus performance) they will have, and the fact that as soon as the first models are out, there will be a tendency to want to wait until the next revision for the 'rev.a' bugs to get ironed out and some speed bumps ironed in, one important extra consideration is the software that's intended to be run.
All software at this time is G4 compatible, and many titles are either already in universal binary, or about to be so, thus would run natively on an Intel-mini. But some, Adobe CS and Microsoft Office (to name a couple of significant examples) are not universal yet, and while they likely will become so, it's not at all clear when. Until they ARE universal, those apps will run in emulation on an intel Mac, and performance is not reported to be stellar.
So I'd suggest to anyone considering the issues, to look at the titles you want to run, and make sure all the important ones are Intel-native already, or going to become so very soon. If they are, then waiting for an Intel mini is perfectly reasonable as long as you don't have any immediate need and can wait however long it takes. But if any crucial apps are PPC only and likely to stay that way, I'd buy a G4-powered mini while they're still available, and trade it later when the crucial apps go Universal and the Intel models have settled down.

Ipod freezing in the middle of songs, have to wait until the battery dies.

Help me, my ipod freezes in the middle of songs and i have to wait until the battery goes out until i can do anything with it. And the harddrive has started to click and it sounds like a fan that starts spinning after two clicks. What should i do ?
Pc Windows XP Ipod 5th generation

you know what its funny because my ipod just did this last weekend. its been freezing on and off for the last couple of months. I have had it for a year and a half. It would freeze and i would try and do the whole thing where you hold down menu and select and that worked for awhile, but then suddenly last weekend it froze and it started making a weird clicking sound too. i got ****** and just left it at home for the weekend. when i got back home the battery was dead of course and i just plugged it into the charger and it turned on again. im guessing that sometimes you just have to leave it alone. when it made that clicking noise, it wouldnt do anything. you just have to let the battery die and then recharge it.

Setup.exe does not wait until the installation is done

Hi,
I downloaded ODAC 10.2.0.2.21 from here:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/other/ole-oo4o/ODAC1020221.exe
And after extracting all files, I use this command on cmd:
setup.exe -silent -noconsole -waitforcompletion -force -responsefile <Path>
Furthermore, I have BOOTSTRAP=FALSE on oraparam.ini but setup.exe does not wait until the installation is done.
I only want a way to wait for the installation to complete...
Cheers,
Joan

Is it best to wait until the battery is almost dead to recharge?

Should I charge my Ipod touch regularly or wait until the battery is very low?

You can charge whenever you want, there's no harm.

IPhone 5 recharging, shd I wait until the battery is empty?

Someone told me that the battery suffers if I do not wait until the battery is empty and stop recharging before the battery is full. Can I recharge the phone whenever I want and how long I want or do I have to wait until it is empty/full?

waiting until the battery is empty is a good idea but you have a limited amount of charge cycles but i recommend draining it fully
it doesnt suffer at all and it should have a 8-10 hour life of battery
yes you can charge whenever you want but you have a limited amount like 500
charge 4-8 hours

Apps stuck at "waiting" until the phone is restarted

I've noticed whenever I download a few apps at once they will be stuck at waiting forever, until I restart the phone then straight away the go to loading.
thought it was just the high number of people for the first few days but its still doing it, and a friend has noticed the same thing on their phone.
I'm on wifi with a speed of around 12Mb/s
using iPhone 6

I have posted these suggestions many times in the past here in the forum. Give these a try and perhaps one of them will work for you.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes. If you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

How do I create a table of 3 data elements for each trial and have it updated instead of waiting until the end of the program?

I am trying to record 3 pieces of data, all (software) timing in ms (in U8 integers). I managed to finally get each data in the right column but now it doesn't record anything in the table and it doesn't update the numeric indicators during the experiment like it should. I can't figure for the life of me what I did wrong. I know at least the trial part of the program works, but so far the data recording part is giving me a headache.
Thanks

Why it is not reporting the data is easy; fixing the program may not be. LabVIEW uses a dataflow paradigm. This means that no part of the program executes until all of its data inputs are availble. In your case the table and the array functions driving it are fed by outputs from the outer while loop. Thus no data gets to the table until the while loop has finished executing (which is at the end of your experiment). One possible approach would be to store the data in a shift register and move the table inside the loop.
Many experienced LV programmers try to avoid or minimize the use of sequence structures and local variables to read and write to/from front panel objects. We use a state machine which is a while loop with a case structure. Queues can be u
sed to pass data between the user interface and the data acquistion loops. This subject is too involved to be handled in a brief posting, but if you search the archives and examples you can learn more.
Also, be aware that software timing can be problematic if you are using a desktop operating system. If the OS decides to check the net for software updates or something you could have large discrepancies in your timing. These might be rare, but there is no reliable way of detecting them. I have built several systems similar to what you seem to be trying to do and have never been successful with software timing.
