  • What is workflow minimum? (stupid questions from rookie)

    Guys,
    we are evaluating Oracle workflow. If you could help us to answer some of the stupid questions we have - it would help us a lot.
    1. There are two parts of Workflow installation - DB and midtier. Is it possible to use workflow without installing midtier? Our understanding - midtier is used for providing web access for the users to the workflow engine: they can approve/reject, check workflow status etc. But is it possible to perform all these tasks via email only or by building some simple user interface in our existing webtier (which is not based on Oracle webserver, though is using Oracle for the DB layer)
    2. We were not able to configure other schema to have access to workflow successfully - though it looks like this schema has all possible privs set. If we are trying to call wf_engine.LaunchProcess - we are getting privs error. If we call it from the workflow schema - everything is working fine. Does anybody have any successful experience in doing this?
    Thanks a lot everybody for help!

    Hi,
    I do not consider myself an expert at Workflow, but I will attempt to answer your questions (which are not stupid questions by any means)...
    I will answer question 1 in two parts as it is essentially two questions.
    1. "Is it possible to use workflow without installing midtier"
    Workflow is a module inside the Database that is an optional installation.
    No middle-tier needs to be installed as such.
    The middle-tier I believe you are referring to is the Workflow Monitor, this is viewed by configuring either the:
    - Database HTTP server DAD to display the Workflow Monitor
    or
    - Application Server HTTP Server DAD to display the Workflow Monitor
    Configuring the Workflow Monitor for the Administrators is a very good idea.
    Normal users do not normally need to view this page, but read-only acess can be setup (ie. the users connect as a user without the ADMIN role)
    1. "But is it possible to perform all these tasks via email"
    Using Workflow Notifications, emails can be sent to users where they can approve/reject.
    2. We were not able to configure other schema to have access to workflow successfully
    I am not sure why you are not successful here... have you granted execute on wf_engine.LaunchProcess to the other schema?
    Cheers,
    Degan.

  • This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
    Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

  • I am not a knowledgeable user - have what may be a stupid question!  I just purchased a TV show series on iTunes and downloaded all episodes for the season.  But I believe i want them on my iCloud instead of my laptop.  How do I transfer them or dupl

    I am not a knowledgeable user - have what may be a stupid question!  I just purchased a TV show series on iTunes and downloaded all episodes for the season.  But I believe i want them on my iCloud instead of my laptop.  How do I transfer them to the Cloud or duplicate on the iCloud?

    You can't transfer any purchase to the cloud yourself, whether a TV programme/series will show in the cloud for redownloading in the future depends upon what country that you are in (TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether you move countries (you can't redownload purchases made in another country) and if the rights-holder keeps them in the store (they occasionally remove their items).
    As you bought it on your laptop then you could turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' on your iPad and it might show in the Videos app on it with a cloud icon against it for streaming/redownloading (it might also show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app for refownloading whether or not you turn that 'on') - but that depends upon your country and only whilst it remains in your country's store. Similarly if you delete it from your laptop and tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences it might show in the TV Shows part of your library for redownloading (and whether or not you tick that it might show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading).
    But you should be taking a backup copy of it, and anything else that you download from the stores, there is no guarantee that you will be able to redownload any item.

  • Stupid question  - What platforms does Solaris x86 run on?

    Hello,
    I am a longtime Solaris for sparc user. Could someone please direct me to information about what platforms/processors Solaris for x86 runs on?

I will start searching myself for info, but if anyone knows of a great strehouse of info on this matter, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks!

  • Really stupid question - Migrating from 6i to 11g

    Hi all,
    I'm a developer that have been working with oracle since Forms 3, right now I use Forms 6i and I would like to know what I need to use Forms 11g. I understand this new environment is web based, but to start developing and deploying, what I need? for example if I buy the Oracle Forms & Report 11g, I also will need the OAS? or just with Forms and Report I could deploy (somehow) the application?
    Please don't flame me, I just want to understand how this works now.
    Best Regards

    As my old college profession used to say - "The only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked!" Forms 11g only supports web deployment. This means you will need the OAS with the Forms and Reports Services installed as well. Typically, the setup is three tiered ( 1 server = Database, 1 server = Application Server, 1 server = Infrastructure server ). You don't have to set up the technology stack multitiered - all three could reside on the same server or you could have the all three on the same machine but is not recommended. I would at least have the database on a server seperate from OAS.
    Here are a few links to get you started.
    Oracle Documentation
    * Check out: Development Tools - Oracle Forms, Middleware - Applications Server - Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and Middleware - Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence - Oracle Reports
    Since you will be upgrading from Forms 6i to 11g, be sure to visit the Oracle Forms-Upgrading Forms 6i to Forms 11g documentation.
    BTW, welcome to the forums!

  • Stupid question re iTunes match and family sharing

    So, here is my dilemma...we have a large family and a ton of os devices--iphones, iPads, apple tv's, iMacs, MacBooks, etc.  Up until now, we have set everyone up on the same apple id, which has been crazy--my and my wife's phone ringing with the kids' FaceTime calls, me not being able to sign into iTunes match because there were too many devices associated with our account, and so on.  Now, wit the upgrade to iOS 8, my wife's phone is ringing when I receive calls and vice versa.  So, I was looking into the family sharing, but am not sure how that affects iTunes match.  I want to keep my iTunes match, because I have a huge music library and enjoy being able to listen to my music anywhere.  I guess my questions is, what is the best way to set up my accounts now?  Keep my apple id for my iOS devices, and set everyone else up as a "family member" under sharing with them having their own apple id's?  If so, what does that do to my iTunes match library?  can I keep iTunes match and still have family sharing on?  I don't care if I can share my music library with everyone in my family, but what I do care about is that I don't want to lose my access to iTunes match and my entire library, some of which consists of songs downloaded 7 years ago.  I know it's a stupid question, but as much as I've read and searched, I still haven't found the answer to my question.  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Sounds very bad... you can try this, create a account for each member of the family, delete all products (leave all your devices as new) and put the accounts in the devices again, for example, this iPad is from the kid, put the Apple ID of the kid in her iPad, after, this iPhone is from your wife, put the Apple ID from your wife in her iPhone. But remember, the purchases save in the Apple IDs when the family use before, for change the purchases contact with Apple.

  • This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

  • Probably a stupid question about cropping a video..

    OK, so I shot an interview with a black background and once I went to edit it, I noticed a red object in the far right corner. Is there a way I can add black over this object or crop it out? I know this is a stupid question, but I'm new to video and editing in general so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

    There are several ways to accomplish what you want.
    KGCW has talked about the Crop Effect.
    Depending on exactly where the object is, and whether the camera was locked down, it might be possible to duplicate your Clip, place it above your initial Clip, then offset it a bit (Motion>Position), with the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, and then apply the Garbage Matte to that offset duplicate, effectively Cropping out everything, but a small "patch" from the existing background. Note: if the edges of that Garbage Matte are too hard for you, you could create a soft-edged Track Matte, and use that to hold out the rest of the offset duplicate.
    Another method, and depending on where, and how large the offending item is, would be to go to the Fixed Effect>Motion, and use Motion>Scale to increase the size of the Clip (do not do too much Scale, or quality will suffer). You might also need to do a bit of Motion>Position, to get that red object behind the Video's Frame Size. This will effectively Crop the object.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Probably a stupid question

    just got a macbook pro and want to be able to use the webcam to chat with my hubby on his PC when he is out of town on business. he does NOT have a webcam so we need to know what kind he can get that will allow us to talk and see each other. i know this is probably a stupid question but we are new at this.....

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, bevs
    Any PC webcam that is compatible with your hubby's PC system, (Windows?) OS, and chat software will work. Best suggestions will come from the "Help" pages for his chat applications software.
    For you to be able to video chat with your hubby, it is important that you choose applications software that offers "cross-platform" (Mac to PC) video chat capability. There are several choices available, but Skype probably currently offers the best balance between ease of use and reliability in free cross-platform video apps.
    Whichever apps (and camera) you and hubby choose, everything must be compatible with your respective computers and operating systems. I mention this because your posted system info shows macbookpro   Mac OS X (10.0.x). Mac OS X (10.0.x) is now five major upgrades old. No MacBook Pros shipped with Mac OS X (10.0.x), so I expect that your system info just needs to be updated. However, if I am wrong, you will need to upgrade your Mac OS to use Skype, because Skype's System Requirements show you must use Mac OS X v10.3.9 Panther or later. I do not know any video chat apps that work with Mac OS X (10.0.x).
    In order to use Skype, both you and your hubby will need to download and install your respective versions of the Skype software. Skype offers free AV connections between computers (although its website seems to concentrate on its for-fee telephone connection service,) it is easy for most users to configure and set up, and it offers cross-platform audio with its video chat. (Not all video chat apps offer simultaneous audio.)
    Your iSight will work with Skype, as will most PC webcams for your hubby. For more information now, or for help if you encounter problems using Skype later, Skype offers comprehensive support that includes a dedicated Skype Forum as well as technical support directly from Skype in addition to its online FAQ and Knowledge-base.
    If you decide to go with Skype, your hubby can get Skype-specific suggestions for PC webcams here.
    Please let us know if you need any other info before you can mark your question "Answered." We will be happy to try to offer more focused suggestions for your specific questions.

  • Stupid questions on the ipod mini.....

    I have an old ipod mini from 6 years ago.  I haven't used it since I got it.  Since I'm going to work out, I wanted to take it and listen while I'm exercising....
    Stupid question number one
    1. Can you hear music without using earphones?  Or do you have to use a docking system????  Is everything with head/earphones?
    2. The earphones that came with it, fall out of my ears..... what gives?  Can anyone make a suggestion about headphones that you don't have to stick in the ear canal... but aren't cumbersome????  I need some suggestions, else the whole ipod experience is a waste
    3.  am I stupid for staying with a vintage ipod mini, instead of getting an ipod touch or traditional ipod that's newer?  Are they easier to use? 
    All I really do is make playlists on itunes, and maybe a short download of a radio show or something like that.....  What's the advantages of Ipod touch vs traditional Ipods?

    1.  No.  You can hook it up to a docking station or use headphones/earbuds.
    2.  Everybody's ears are shaped different and so a one size doesn't fit all.   I don't have any particular suggestions though.  I would look on Amazon's site for an extensive list of possibilities.
    3.  Not at all.  If it still works, why quit using it or buy a new one?  Wouldn't make any sense!  The advantage of the iPod Touch is that it has much more capability compared to other models in that it can download and play Apps as well as a number of other things.

  • Before I ask stupid questions...

    Just taken over at a small post facility and need to read up on Xserve RAID related issues before I ask stupid questions on this forum. So can anyone refer me to any useful sites/blogs/apple articles about Xserve RAID setups geared towards video editing environments with mutiple operators?
    Would be good if they included information on RAID configuration, fibre channel versus gigbit ethernet and what read/write rates I should be expecting to see when working in SD and HD environments.

  • Possible Stupid Question on Aliases

    We're on iMS/SunONE 5.2. What I've yet to figure out is how to do something so simple that I may be overlooking the obvious solution. This is to duplicate what /etc/aliases does in sendmail. I.E take an email address which does not match a particular existing user and deliver that message to the specifed recipient. There are two aspects of this which I need to address.
    1) Delivery of inbound mail if account is local. For example... [email protected] to [email protected] I think I understand this as I just need to add an alternate address for bob.jones into the ldap. Not centralized but the concept makes sese.
    2) Forwarding of inbound mail to other mail servers. For example [email protected] to [email protected].edu where our.listserv.edu is handled by a seperate mail server. In this case the /etc/aliases file sendmail uses makes this dirt simple. Unfortunately i've poured through the iMS docs and have yet to find how to do this. It may have to do with terminology as I'm not sure what iMS calls this type of proceedure. We have many of these (hundreds) and not having a centralized way of handling these would be very very difficult. What is the solution here?
    Thanks,
    -Patrick

    Not a stupid question at all, I fought with the same concept coming from sendmail. The concept is that it's simple to redirect mail using the aliases file (/etc/mail/aliases) and it only took one line to do it.
    Under iMS you need to expand your mind and accept that ldap is <insert deity> and everything is done differently.
    Alias entries need to be adapted to one of -
    individual accounts (mailalternateaddress)
    or
    a new ldap entry with it's forward settings going to your other addresses.
    or
    a mail list, for local one to many distributions.
    This applies to direct ldap and dirsync mode, however if you're running in dirsync mode, ensure you run the dirsync after making changes.
    Finally, if you create an aliases file in -
    <msg-home>/config/aliases
    and you are thorough on the addresses, they still work.
    Just my experience, search for "aliases" in the forum.

  • Probably Stupid Question

    Hello all,
    what I would like to ask is ... on my G5 ... can I install both FCP5 and FCP HD and use both??
    Thanking you in advance!

    Are you asking if you can keep multiple versions of the software on the same system? If so, maybe. The easiest way is to have multiple startup disks. If you have a second internal drive it's a breeze. If you have only one internal drive, you can partition it or use an external firewire drive as a startup drive. I seem to remember a post saying if you renamed the earlier version of fcp before doing an install you could have multiple versions of fcp on your system. There might be problems caused by this method. Do a search here and see if you can find any references to this or perhaps someone else will pipe up.
    This is not a stupid question and your subject line will limit the responses you get. Perhaps you should start a new thread with a better "subject." I, of course, always read posts labeled "stupid." It helps me polish my superiority complex.
