WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS FORUM?

What is the point of this forum when over half the questions go unanswered?
In fact, what is the point of creating and selling a product that so many people can't even install without an expert looking over their shoulder?
This really sucks! I am really sorry that I elected a major in Oracle Development.

Erin,
There are reasons for doing controlled releases, and your implementation experience with prior upgrades is one of them.
Doing an upgrade requires the management of the underlying repository, the underlying repository has changed significantly from 309 to 902 owing to the introduction of OID and other significant changes to the architecture.
Running a controlled release allows Oracle to ensure that the final upgrade scripts when made publicly available are as solid and bug-free as possible whilst allowing those customers who wish to upgrade sooner rather than later and take part in the feedback process can do so with the knowledge that Oracle can help them should they come across any issues.
We currently have over 150 customers running the upgrade scripts and providing feedback, so much so that we are hoping to release them publicly in the very near future.
On another note, I should point out that in your post you are referring to DB upgrade versions and not Application Server upgrade versions..

    What is the point of this website? Questions asked but not answered. (I don't class the option to contact someone, at a certain time, in India, as a reasonable solution to what is a straightforward question). Has Adobe not got anyone qualified to answer my question? Is Elements 13 flawed? I've resorted to Elements 9 which works fine. If anyone asks me my opinion of Elements 13 I'll tell them "don't waste your money"!

    I would imagine it is this Photomerge problem:

  • What's the point of this code?

    Hi, I'm getting an error in a program.
    So I went to look in the code where the error is displayed.
    And I found this:
    z_nbjr = sy-datum - z_fromdt.
    if z_nbjr > 1.
      message is displayed.
    Now, z_fromdt is the value TVARV-LOW for 'ZVDL_VBUK_LAST_RUN', and the message that is displayed is 'Please rebuild index file ZVDL_VBUK'.
    Can anyone explain to me what is the point of this? What is TVARV-LOW?
    And why do they make this check? And how do I rebuild the index file?

    As Pushpraj has already pointed out correctly, TVARV is where the variants are stored. It's rather strange that you've never seen fields like LOW and HIGH, because they're also used in the ABAP range tables (see Help for command RANGES).
    Since this is all your custom development, we, unfortunately, cannot know what is the point of all this. I'm guessing that the message to "rebuild the index" is also custom and, therefore, you would need to find a documentation for the program in question or ask your colleagues what this could mean. Also check if there is a long text available for the message (although I doubt that).
    Most likely it's some kind of an internal process of running some other program.

  • What is the point in this "BScatalyst" if can not use your own domain name?!

    the marketing of adobe BScatalyst is a enigma for me. What is it? when you can´t use your domain name?!

    I think you need to do a lot of research and a lot of reading.
    The point is: adobe has NOTHING TO OFFER besides the software (muse) for
    developing a site.
    Sorry to repeat this a lot but your not correct here as well.
    Muse came recently and is a simple tool to help get people into making sites from the graphics and design industry basically. BC Has a full template, layout and code system:
    http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/dev-assets/reference#!/module-reference/photo-galleries/m odule_photogallery.html
    It has API Access, it can be developed using any coding software from Dreamweaver to Coda 2. This for many is the primary method of creating BC websites and has been for years, even before Adobe purchased the BC company.
    It is always being updated as you can see with the new rendering engine and liquid markup:
    http://www.businesscatalyst.com/bc-blog
    The point is the CC atracts amatures, like my self, to devope sites, but
    they have NOTHING to offer on the hosting side of the work.
    Sorry, but none of this is correct. CC is a service created by Adobe to take all its software into the cloud, it is not just there to develop sites. In terms of storing your work in the cloud that is one of its primary functions. Ignoring BC and websites you can store your files, PSD's through your Creative Cloud account.
    Your post was put under moderation automatically by the forum software because how you posted it. The caps will do it.
    everything above here are without ANY interest for the common amateur muse developer. Why do you think we use muse?!
    I communicate, I read and know a lot of Muse developers, Again your not correct here as well. Sorry for repeating this but this again simply not true and pretty much everything you have said so far is that.
    A lot of Muse users develop very nice looking but basic in function websites, there are a lot who would like to do more such as eCommerce etc, you are not the norm in your thinking off what everything is from CC, BC and the web.
    CMS me here, SAAS me there, and business analysis me over again. IT IS OF NO INTEREST FOR US MILLIONS OF MUSE USERS!
    Again, this is not true. Most of the posts I see from Muse users is how they do more with BC and many want and ask how to upgrade their CC BC to offer more features. The Creative Cloud version of BC is the VERY BASIC version of it, it does not have most of the abilities it has if you have one of the higher plans.
    See here:
    US Yearly Pricing | Adobe Business Catalyst
    A complementary product to Muse is HOSTING!
    Creative Cloud is Adobe moving into the Cloud space for their products and services, Muse is an entry level designer based peace of software to create basic websites. Business Catalayst is what you do not want to research into and hosting is just storage basically.
    Adobe Business Catalyst
    In terms of your website, people make sites just for family etc and put them on the web, Real domain or not you can build a site for what ever you want. But its a website and will be out there on the web. Search engines like google will index such sites so if you do not want them out there on the internet do not create them to make them available.
    I do not mean to be rude, but your comments are not valid and going no where. You not really understanding what anything is, your complaining about things are not true or things that you think do not exist when they do.
    I have been developing sites on the Business Catalyst platform for over 5 years and using other coding platforms and other CMS's for longer then that. I am considered one of the people outside BC who know the platform for the most so please trust in what I am saying here.
    If you want just hosting just use Creative Cloud or something like dropbox.
    If you want to learn more about the web or building sites etc I suggest you go lean, there are many great resources out there.

  • What is the function of this forum?

    I have been following this forum since I bought an Xperia Neo V and this was about three months ago. From the time I started reading threads on, I just see the same problems are being told again and again, and almost none of them could be able to find a solution. If Sony wouldn't listen to customers, why did they started this forum?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    that's interesting, you based it on only 3months and you didn't looked on all the threads that are marked as answered, to each it's own, if that's your opinion
    I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

  • What is the Purpose of this Forum?

    If it is to reduce traffic by driving people away, forcing them to log on simply to read to see if there is an answer to their question, or to see if there is a question they might be able to answer, then you guys are on the right track!
    If the original idea of having people help each other is still around, forcing them to log in just to read is "dumb as a bag of hammers" (local expression).
    Have seen this brain-dead stunt pulled in other forums (e.g. OCWORKBENCH) - after a few weeks, they usually figure it out.
    Sheesh.

    One can take many opinions, and make observations but sarcastic posts like this don't belong in these forums and I wont tolerate them here, it does nothing but start problems. If you have problems with the way MSI does things then I suggest you take it somewhere else, because no one from MSI will see this. You've been told before that this is a user to user forum and you know the rules.
    This thread is closed for obvious reasons.

  • Backed up ipod to the cloud (12/25 11am) and then updated. Music is gone and the back up is not restoring?! why? What's the point of the cloud if nothing is there?

    Ipod has been playing music in my car the past two years. new computer this year and new email address. Backed up to cloud. change ID on itunes. Music on my ipod disappeared. Shouldn't it be on the cloud somewhere?! What's the point of this cloud? And is it b/c I can't seem to change my icloud ID to the new one on my ipod settings?

    Music is not stored in your personal iCloud account, or in your device backup.  Music purchased from the iTunes store is in available for redownload as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  Music from other sources such as your CDs should be in your iTunes library on your computer and can be synced back to your iPod from there.
    To change the iCloud account on your device you have to delete the exsting account, then sign back into the new ID.

  • What's the point of archiving to ALAC?

    I did all the googling and learned pretty much all I need to know about archiving my 1000 CD collection to ALAC.  And I just successfully ripped my first ever CD to ALAC.
    The only question I never saw answered anywhere was whether or not there is any advantage to ALAC for archive purposes now that hard drives are so cheap.
    I just bought a 2TB drive at Costco for $130.
    The first CD I ripped was 693mb, per iTunes.  Once I ripped it to ALAC, it was 450mb.  That's a space savings of 35%.
    If my average CD has 650mb of data on it ... times 1000 CDs in my collection ... that 635 gigs.
    If I save 35% via ALAC, that's now 412 gigs.  That (now, on a 2TB drive) is a negligible difference.
    So I'm asking ... what's the point?  This isn't 2004 when 200 gigs would have cost a lot of money.
    I understand for playback, ALAC is cool because you've got tags and album artwork.
    But for archiving a CD collection to a hard drive just for the purpose of safe storage ... is there any advantage anymore to converting the file format?
    Why not just use Toast or whatever and save a bunch of disc images?

    John_Neumann wrote:
    Thank you, Ed2345.
    Regarding your last sentence ... isn't making a new physical CD pretty much the same process whether disc image or ALAC?  I understand you just drop an IMG into Toast and hit burn ... or drop an ALAC into XLD and hit burn.  Or is there a step I still don't understand?
    -JOHN
    John,
    It is not actually the same process.  The burn from disc image copies the image, i.e. all contents and structure, onto the CD.  The burn from ALAC (or WAV or AIFF) reconstructs the audio, creates a table of contents, adds its own  gaps, and then burns that to the CD.
    However, if your future intent is to use the songs in a player such as iTunes, the ALAC files will be ready to go, while the disc image will still need ripping.

  • What is the point of Math.abs() methods???

    Hi there ppl,
    just wondering what is the point of this method? Can somebody give me a scenario where this method comes in use?

    what is the point of this:

         [Bindable("valueCommit")]
         [Inspectable(category="General", defaultValue="null")]
    in
        //  selectedItem

    Anything that is binding to selectedItem will go get the value again when either of those events fires.

  • What is the point of the online chat if it doesn't work

    I am desperately trying to get someone to explain my bill (I cannot make personal phone calls at work, so I cannot call) and when I click on the "online chat" it just greys itself out and says the agents are all busy. What's the point of this feature??

    It works, because you are not able to chat doesn't mean it's broken or pointless. Granted it seems as if it is always busy customers do chat with reps all the time, enough to where it is always busy.

  • My Ipod touch is frozen.  Shows USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes.  What is the problem?  This is the second one I have had that has done this!

    My Ipod touch is frozen.  The screen shows only USB cable with arrow point to the word Itunes.  What is the problem?  This is the second touch I have had that has this same problem.  HELP!

    This time try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod instead of from backup.  You may have some corruption that is causing the problem and it may now be in the backup.  If the problem persists after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. then you likely have a hardware problem and ana ppointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS1702 what is the point of the Ipod touch(2nd generation)?Every single app Is not compatible with it.Seems like a complete ripoff to me.My phone was alot cheaper and does way more.Very frustrated with this device.

    what is the point of the Ipod Touch(2nd generation)?Every single app is not compatible with it.Am I missing something?My cell phone cost 1/2 as much and does way more.This is why I don't normally purchase any apple products.Overpriced flashlight,that's about all it does.

    There are still some apps compatible, with the 2G. Also, since September, Apple has now allowed download the last version of apps that were compatible with the 2G but have been updated to no longer be compatibles
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

  • What's the point of Desktop 6.2 vs 4.2?

    Hi - I have a new Centro coming to replace an ailing TX so thought I would "upgrade" my desktop to 6.2. Was I in for a shock. PD 6.2 is not an upgrade, it's a downgrade. It locks up when I try to access my Note Pad files, there is no color anymore in calender events, etc. I don't want to use this with the new Centro either! I googled and found that PD 4.2 will work with Centro. But I have to wonder: what is the point of 6.2 being worse than the versions it supposedly replaces? Is there a better (than 6.2) PD coming? I'm on TMobile, so the Pre is not an option. Thanks for any insights!
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    Palm Desktop 6.2.2 was provided to Palm by Access, the company that owns it now, in order to provide Windows Vista compatibility.  As far as I can see it, there are only two reasons to use it over PD 4.2:
    if you have a Vista desktop;
    if you plan to migrate to a Pre, because the data transfer assistant which comes with the Pre will apparently only work with Palm Desktop 6.2.2.
    I would not personally expect any further upgrades or development of Palm Desktop.  Palm is pretty much done with the Palm OS, and without any new Palm OS devices coming online, I doubt Palm would invest any resources to further develop the Palm Desktop.
