What is best solution for using a Palm Tungsten 2 on a Windows 7 computer?

Driven by the end of XP, I purchased an HP Z230 Workstation running Windows 7 Professional.   I'd like to get my Palm Tungsten 2 working, and I've heard several options here on doing that.
OPTIONS
A. Use Palm Desktop 6.2 with Bluetooth for hotsync. (I've done this already with a Win7 laptop, but I use the Note Pad utility a lot with some macros, which unfortunately is not supported on Desktop v6.2).
B. Use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 in a virtual Windows XP environment running under Win 7. I know I can do that, and that is probably my fallback. However, Microsoft suggests that you disconnect from the Internet any time you use the Virtual XP, because it may be susceptible to hacking since they don't support XP anymore.   So that will be an added nuisance that I will probably forget to do.
C. Use the Aceeca USB driver to make Desktop 4.1.4 work.  I tried following the instructions here to do that, but when Hotsync fails, it never shows up as a yellow triangle in the device manager list, even after I followed the trick to make hidden devices visible. So I have not been able to even try the Aceeca driver with Palm 4.1.4 yet.
D. Install the Aceeca Desktop 4.1 and update to their driver. I could try this (uninstall Palm 4.1.4 and install Aceeca 4.1) but it looks like it depends on the same process to update the driver as my option C just above. So I'm thinking I may run into the same roadblock as C.
Questions:
Does anyone have any other ideas of how to get the Aceeca driver hooked up to Palm Desktop 4.1.4 that I could try?
Does anyone know if Aceeca Desktop supports the Note Pad facility if I try option D?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Palm Blue,
Thanks for weighing in!
Here is what I know so far.   I use the Palm Desktop 4.1 on my Win XP computer, and have no problems syncing my Tungsten T2 with USB Hotsyncs.
I've also successfully hotsynced the T2 to a Win7 Pro laptop computer using Palm Desktop 6.2. and Bluetooth.
My goal, which sounds like you have already accomplished, is to install Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on my new Win7 Pro desktop, so that I can sync with the T2 and get the Note Pad functionality also.   This is like my "OPTION C."
Did you have to use the Aceeca driver to make this work on your computer, or were you able to do it with the Palm driver? One other person reported elsewhere having gotten 4.1.4 working on a 64 bit Win7 installation, and he made no mention of the Aceeca driver.  I have not been able to contact him.
In response to your question about what I see when I try to sync:
Palm 4.1.4 is installed on the Win7 Pro desktop, and the hotsync icon is present.
When I try to sync, I hear the characteristic tone indicating that a USB device is recognized. But I also get a message that pops up near it with the yellow triangle and the following text:
"USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED"
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has
malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.
For assistance in solving this problem, click this
message."
If I click the message, I get popup window that says,
One of the devices attached to this comptuer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it."
It then shows a list of the USB devices inside of one of the USB Root Hubs, and one of them has a different icon and a question mark in that icon (not a yellow triangle). And its description is in bold and it says "Unknown USB Device."
I also looked at the Device Manager during a hotsync to see if it shows a Palm device or an Other category.   Using my XP computer first with the Tungsten T2, and which also syncs okay, it is true that during the Hotsync, the Device Manager adds a device "Palm OS Handheld Device / Palm Handheld," that goes away as soon as the hotsync is complete.
Using the same Palm Tungsten 2, when I attempt the Hotsync in the Win7Pro computer, "Palm OS Handheld Device/Palm Handheld"  does NOT appear in the Device Manager (nor anything else like it).
So for some reason, my computer does not have seem to have enough of the Palm Desktop/Hotsync installation complete that I can get to the point of either it working, or where I could try to install the Aceeca driver.
I keep trying things to get it to work, but so far now luck. Looking for more ideas to try.

What is best solution for backup ?

Our environment consisted of RAC (2 nodes). we are trying to back up our database using RMAN with NetBackup.
we also have other different databases need to be backed up.
In RAC case, what is best solution for backing up the database ?
As I mentioned above, we are using RMAN for backup our RAC with NetBackup.
Actually, the RMAN is not simple utility for me.
Is there any other way to back up the database in our situation without rman.
I need some advice from all of you.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin
There are many possible ways to backup your database. You must decide the one that suits your environment.
Following is the list of options that you have.
1. Take Online Backups
Issue this command to freeze tablespaces
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tblspcname BEGIN BACKUP;
Copy all the files belonging to this tablespace to your backup location using OS commands.
Release the tablespace by using this command.
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tblspcname END BACKUP;
To find the data files belonging to a particular tablespace you can issue this statement
SQL>SELECT file_name, tablespace_name FROM dba_data_files ORDER BY tablespace_name;
2. If your db size is not BIG then you can take logical backups. Logical Backups can be FULL or incremental. In 10g you can have filesets to spilit your logical backups in more than one file with specified sizes. (By Logical Backups I mean EXPORT).
To take export for example issue this command.
ORACLE_HOME\bin\exp file=fullpath+filename.dmp log=fullpath+logfilename.log FULL=Y userid=system/pwd@dbconnectstring
To get full list of export parameters type
ORACLE_HOME\bin\exp help=y
3. RMAN (Strongly recommended) but you ruled out its possibility so I won't elaborate on that.
4. COLD BACKUP
To perform this type of backup you will need to shutdown your database by issuing this command.
SQL>SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
(On RAC you will need to shutdown all the instances before copying files to the backup location).
Use OS copy command to copy files to backup location.
(This method is not recommended as it will flush your SGA and your client will complain about performance for the first few hours).
Let me know if you need more details.
Hopefully this helps.

HT4152 What is best processor for using Adobe Creative Suite 5.5?

About to purchase a laptop. Have strong committment to Apple products, so considering Apple's Macbook Pro, what should I request for graphics card or other customizable that will make use of Creative Suite smooth?

>> There is no doubt that using Adobe Creative Suite
has HUGE advantages.

Did I miss the point or what? Anyway it is a bit strange to
compare
FreeHand with CS package.
There are still many things that are difficult to do with
multiple
programs that could be done just in FreeHand. Although
FreeHand has quite
poor body text controls (there are layout program like
options but they do
not really work) making for example a book jacket was more
simple and
faster. This is simply because area text in Illustrator is
very slow and
buggy as hell. Even the amount of text in the backcover can
take a lot of
time to adjust. Not to mention that Illustrator reflows text
in random
paragraps while making changes in just one.
I could use InDesign and import all the images and graphic
but that would
be even slower.
Like said I use Illustrator a lot and kinda like it
sometimes, but the
bugs are driving me nuts. Some of the bugs, still not fixed,
appeared in
version 10!!!!

Just bought a new MacBook Pro Retina 15" and am wondering what my best solution for managing Word files would be?

Having been used to my PC Laptop and needing to generate and read Word documents - and the occasional Excel and Powerpoint files - I need to get a better solution for dealing with these on my new MacBook Pro Retina 15".
Should I buy Office for Mac? if so, which version?
Or is there a better way?

Why not try Open Office? It's free and file compatible with MS Office.

What is the best solution for using closed caption for music

Hi
I have been playing around with closed caption and used Windows Media Player and smi.
But now I wanted to do a try with flash and since I'm not a regular flash user I tried to use.
Sound object, Xml, textbox and a timer, and it worked okay in email and local testing.
But when I tried it on a server (site) it only worked if the xml file was stored on the same site.
What I have today is a asp.net page that generate the xml file and I want to be able to load this xml into flash used on other domains

Thank you both! I didn't realize Apple offered a USB modem to use with dial-up. That's what I'll suggest to her, since it's only $49.
I did read a handful of unfavorable reviews for the modem on its Apple Store page (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=B1B 86210&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/networking&nplm=MA034Z/A) -- people having trouble getting all 56k out of it, along with having problems with AOL and various ISPs. Any knowledge of this and whether it's widespread or likely isolated to a few incidents? She is not at all computer savvy, and I just want her to have a beautiful, seamless, and stress-free switch from Windoze to Mac like I did.
Thanks again!

I have a friend trying to update iOS7 using an ipad mini but during the process there is a message failed to update...whats the best solution for this??

What is best practice for using a SAN with ASM in an 11gR2 RAC installation

I'm setting up a RAC environment. Planning on using Oracle 11g release 2 for RAC & ASM, although the db will initially be 10g r2. OS: RedHat. I have a SAN available to me and want to know the best way to utilise that via ASM.
I've chosen ASM as it allows me to store everything, including the voting and cluster registry files.
So I think I'll need three disk groups: Data (+spfile, control#1, redo#1, cluster files#1), Flashback (+control#2, redo#2, archived redo, backups, cluster files#2) and Cluster - Cluster files#3. So that last one in tiny.
The SAN and ASM are both capable of doing lots of the same work, and it's a waste to get them both to stripe & mirror.
If I let the SAN do the redundancy work, then I can minimize the data transfer to the SAN. The administrative load of managing the discs is up to the Sys Admin, rather than the DBA, so that's attractive as well.
If I let ASM do the work, it can be intelligent about the data redundacy it uses.
It looks like I should have LUN (Logical Unit Numbers) with RAID 0+1. And then mark the disk groups as extrenal redundancy.
Does this seem the best option ?
Can I avoid this third disk group just for the voting and cluster registry files ?
Am I OK to have this lower version of Oracle 10gr2 DB on a RAC 11gr2 and ASM 11gr2 ?
TIA, Duncan

Hi Duncan,
if your storage uses SAN RAID 0+1 and you use "External" redundancy, then ASM will not mirror (only stripe).
Hence theoretically 1 LUN per diskgroup would be enough. (External redundancy will also only create 1 voting disk, hence only one LUN is needed).
However there are 2 things to note:
-> Tests have shown that for the OS it is better to have multiple LUNs, since the I/O can be better handled. Therefore it is recommended to have 4 disks in a diskgroup.
-> LUNs in a diskgroup should be the same size and should have same I/O characteristica. If you now have in mind, that maybe your database one time will need more space (more disks) than you should use a disk size, which can easily be added, without waisting too much space.
E.g:
If you have a 900GB database then does it make sense to only use 1 lun with 1TB?
What happens if the database grows, but only grows slightly above 1TB? Then you should add another disk with 1TB.... You loose a lot of space.
Hence it does make more sence to use 4 disks á 250GB, since the "disks" needed to grow the disk groups can be extended more easily. (just add another 250G disk).
O.k. there is also the possibility to resize a disk in ASM, but it is a lot easier to simple add an additional lun.
PS: If you use a "NORMAL" redundancy diskgroup, then you need at least 3 disks in your diskgroup (in 3 failgroups) to be able to handle the 3 voting disks.
Hope that helps a little.

Whats the best solution for playing mp3?

I looked around and there seem to be some solutions to play mp3 (javazoom, quicktime). What do you recommend? What are some disadvantages? Is there a good tutorial to a good class that enables playing mp3 somewhere (I didnt find one) ?
thanx

MP3 codecs have been (temporarily?) removed from the JMF because of the recent dust-up over MP3 patent "enforcement" hints from the patent holders. The only JMF implementation that is not so encumbered is the version for Windows, which actually uses the *ahem* "native" Windows codecs for decoding.
For Sun this makes a somewhat reasonable approach as the patent holders (can't remember who "they" are, but I believe it's a German university spin-off - don't take my word for it, though) can, at their discrection, charge royalty fees on a very ad hoc basis.
Micro$oft, of course, is the proverbial 800-pound gorilla and one could possibly expect them to get more preferential treatment than a "relative" financial light-weight like Sun.
Personally, for playing MP3s, though, I use XMMS. ;D

What is the best solution for SAP R/3 4.7 and Windows mobile 5.0 Pocket PC?

Hi All,
I'm trying to connect SAP R/3 4.7 with RFC from Mobile application , now i'm using .net 2005 Windows mobile 5.0 pocket pc. Does Sap.net connector work for this project?
BR,
Prachya.

Hi Prachya,
it will not work on a PDA, because the .Net Compact Framework has only a limited instructionset of the .NET Framework and so you run into compile errors. You have to create the Proxies in Visual Studio 2003 anyway, because the .NEt connector requests Visual Studio 2003 for installation - at least this was the case 3 months ago still. once it is created you can import it to Visual Studio 2005 and use it there. But if you try to do that in a PDA App, you run into compile errors - as I said above.
I guess in your case another approach would make more sence - as you are not willing to use MI for your app.
Either you use MS SQL Server in between. On the PDA you can use SQL Everywhere/Mobile/CE (they change the name constantly, but it is the SQL Server for the PDA from MS) and connect it to an SQL server. there is a build in Sync functionality with the SQL server. You will find helpfull introductions on MSDN. And from the SQL Server you can connect to the Backend with your .Net connector. But this solution has its problems, because the build in sync with SQL server is a little tricky - and you need to license SQL server.
On the other hand: you can implement a Webservice, that connects with the PDA. This is possible with the .NEt Compact framework. And from the WebService you connect with your .NEt connector to the R/3 system. This will work fine - but you have to take care of the delta handling.
Hope this helps a little to answer your question - and why not use MI for that?
Regards,
Oliver

What is best practice for using Maintenance Optimizer to download SPS + EhP

SAP indicates in note 1095233 and many other documents that the best practice is to implement an EhP along with an SP Stack in the same queue. Furthermore, the only way to download the components of an EhP is via Maintenance Optimizer. However, in step 2 (Calculate download files automatically) you must choose either Maintenance (SPS) or Enhancement Package Installation (EhP); there is no way to tell Maintenance Optimizer that you want to download both SPS and EhP.
In developing the process for my team I circumvented the problem by saying to select Maintenance first to get the SPS into the Download Basket and follow that with selecting Enhancement Package Installation to get the EhP into the Download Basket. The plan would be to include all the downloads in the SPAM/SAINT queue with the expectation that SPAM/SAINT will be able to determine what must be included.
I'm wondering now whether that is a legitimate way to approach this and I am hoping others will share their process.
Thanks,
Terry McCann

Actually, I don't believe you will get the entire SP Stack for ERP 6, you only get those pieces of the stack that are required for the Technical Usages you select for the EhP. I'm basing that on my observation that you get a different subset of the files making up the stack depending upon your TU selection. Also, note 1095233 specifically states:
If now the corrections included in the enhancement package 3 correspond to ERP 6.0 SP level 11, SAP recommends to update also the parts of your system to SP level 11 which you do not want to update to enhancement package 3 to achieve a consistent correction level in all parts of your application: SAP recommends to update all software components to the correction status corresponding to SAP ERP 6.0 Support Package Stack 11 with the installation of SAP enhancement package 3 for SAP ERP 6.0.

What is best practise for using .movelast .movefirst?

I was told at some point that I should always execute a .movelast then .movefirst before starting to work on a recordset, so that I was sure all records were loaded. But if there are NO records, I get a "no current record" when the .MoveLast statement is executed in the following code. But if I use rstClassList.RecordCount before the .movelast, can I count on it's being valid?
Also, I was unable to paste this code into this post. I had to re-type it. Is that expected behavior? Not to be able to paste stuff in?
ls_sql = "Select * from tblStudents"
Set rstClassList = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(ls_sql)
rstClassList.MoveLast
rstClassList.MoveFirst
li_count = rstClassList.RecordCount
TIA
LAS

You do a MoveLast in order to make the RecordCount accurate. If you access it before that, the results are unreliable.
You want to do a MoveLast, then a RecordCount, and only then a MoveFirst if the count is greater that zero.
That being said, the DataWindow is how people normally work with a database from PowerBuilder.

Best Solution for Archiving Table data

Hi All,
I have a table with huge data. It is not partitioned table.
On an average per day 10000 records will be inserted into this table. Now I want to archive(backup)
every one years data manually and keep in safe location and hence delete those archived rows
from the table. Whenever required it should be easily imported back to this table. All this happens through
Application.
One appraoch in my mind right now, is transferring the data from table to flat file with comma separted,
and whenever required again importing back to the table from Flat file using external tables concept.
Can any body suggest what is best solution for this.
Thanks

The best solution would be partitioning.
Any other solution requires DML - running DELETE and INSERT transactions to remove a data set and to add a data set (if need be) again.
With partitioning this is achieved (in sub-seconds) using DDL by exchanging a partition's contents with that of a table. Which means that after the archived data has been loaded (SQL*Loaded, Import, etc) into a table (and indexes created), that table (with indexes) is "swapped" into the partition table as a partition.

The BEST solution for gmail on the iPhone

OK, so after much poking around, I finally figured out the best solution for using gmail on the iPhone: IMAP support.
While I think Google is still rolling this out to all users, once you get it, USE IT! It basically keeps your mail app synced with gmail, and even supports the use of folders/labels.
To see if your gmail account is ready for IMAP, go to the settings option in gmail and see if one of the tabs says "Forwarding and POP/IMAP." If you don't have IMAP available on your account yet, it won't say IMAP.
Here's some links to get you started:
setting up IMAP for gmail on your iPhone:
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77702
how actions in your mail app sync to gmail:
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77657
I hope this helps out everyone as much as it's helped me. I was a little frustrated before using POP, but gotta love IMAP! I'm not too sure the impact that this has on your battery life, but so far it's working well for me. Enjoy!

Gmail and IMAP have totally change my tune about the iPhone's email abilities. I was getting frustrated with the inability to reliably get mail (Message has not been downloaded...), sync (have to delete mail from both iPhone and desktop Mac), etc., but now I have all my POP email accounts automatically forward to my Gmail account, and I only check Gmail with the iPhone and MacPro. So far, it's a whole new iPhone experience! No more errors - ALL mail comes through perfectly - and no need to manually sync!
Note that, when setting up the Gmail/IMAP accounts, do NOT simply update your old POP Gmail settings on your Mac or iPhone! Start with a FRESH new account. I couldn't get either the iPhone or Mac to work until I started with a fresh account.
Also, I was unable to send mail from the iPhone using the smtp.gmail address, so I had changed the outgoing mail setting to use my regular ISP's smtp address. But, at some point (a few minutes later or a few hours, I don't know) when I checked the Gmail settings on the iPhone, it had magically changed itself to smtp.gmail, with the port number, and it has been working perfectly ever since! Maybe IMAP can atomatically correct this info? Not sure.
One more thing. Once you have Gmail IMAP working, then you MUST go here:
http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862
Follow these directions exactly. This is a necessary set of steps in order to make your iPhone and Mac sync correctly, so that trashed mail on the iPhone will go in the trash on your desktop Mac, etc. It's pretty freaky to check email on the iPhone, and then go to your Mac Mail a few minutes later, and see all the newly trashed (or saved/read) emails perfectly synched up!
A final note. Once this is all working and synching, remember that if you delete an email on your iPhone, it gets deleted on the desktop Mac Mail as well (and vice-versa)... which is exactly what you want to happen, but I find that I have to remember to keep the mail that I want to save on the iPhone's inbox until I get back to my desktop Mac. Otherwise, I have to manually remove it from the trash to save it!

What is teh best solution for my Problem??

hello everyone
i'am planing to develop a Patient Management System (PMS)
since i 'm not that guru in the J technologies i would like you to get me some help with this decision:
what is the best solution for developeing an intranet "PMS" which should handles data (connection to postgresql) and runs some algorithm (for planing puropose) im background ??
1 developeing a web based solution (servlet and jsp and and ..)
2 developeing an application wich will be manging everything ??? (a kind of programm with its own GUI)
3 you may have an other idea solution and ill be gald for any advices
ps sorry for my english its not that great ;)

Web applications are all the rage these days and IMO rightly so as they greatly reduce deployment cost and headaches.
They do have some drawbacks though which for you might be important.
I can imagine that sooner or later (probably sooner in my experience) a requirement to interface with hardware installed on the client machines will emerge.
Whether this is a barcode scanner or a chipcard reader to get client information from some form of card issued to the client, or maybe a label printer to print out labels for medication bottles doesn't matter, you need to access the client machine directly.
Web applications have great difficulty with that (in fact, it's all but impossible).
You could go for an applet solution but that's contrived at best and still leaves the same problems.
So in your situation an old-fashioned client/server application (maybe using web services to communicate with the serverside application) is likely the best longterm solution.
You'd have the database remote so everyone has access to the same data, being accessed through processes run on the server and called by the clients. These can also do most of the business logic, leaving the clients relatively dumb responsible mainly for data validation and entry and presentation of the results.

What is the best solution for running windows based programs

I have one program that I need windows for. What is the best solution for doing this without painfully slowing down my mac.

Depends on your needs.
BootCamp requires reboot and uses all physical resources of the system. Only OSX *or* Windows can run. Better for gaming or memory intensive tasks. BootCampAssistant must set up the boot sector to make it work. Also BCA required to remove it.
VM (virtual machine) like Parallels which "hosts" Windows while still running OSX. You split RAM between the two environments. VM is just another program so no special boot sector changes needed, but not good for graphics or RAM intensive programs.
Other recommended alternates to Parallels (paid) are VM Fusion (paid) and VirtualBox (free download from Oracle.com).
