What Tools/Technologies Do You Use Today That You Didn't Use Last Year?

Here we go again...
I'm starting work on another column for Oracle Magazine, and once again I would like you to share your insight and experience. The questions for this go-around:
What tools/technologies are you working with this year that you were not working with last year? Why?
What tools/technologies are you working with this year that that you expect to start phasing out in the next year?
As before, I'm looking for interesting responses that I can quote in the magazine article. All quoted material will be fully attributed -- that means you will be indentified by name, role, and employer. If you prefer to remain anonymous, no problem.
My deadline for this is fast approaching, so if you want to be quoted in the magazine I need your response by Monday April 20. If you have any questions for me on this process, please post a reply.
Thanks!
Bob Rhubart-Oracle

How has your work as a software architect or developer changed in the past year?
There are always new technologies popping up in IT and some of them vanish quietly. That's IT. And that's the difference between an real architect and a software architect (buildings and bridges are built based on the same principles of structural analysis as hundreds of years ago).
Last year Docker appeared on the stage. As A. Cockroft put it, Docker wasn't on anyones roadmap for 2014 - its on everyones roadmap for 2015.
Obviously as an Oracle ACE Director I focus on new technologies in the cloud and middleware space, including open source projects.
How have you adjusted to that change? Was the adjustment difficult?
Well, my trick is to explore technologies early and then decide for myself if it's more marketing or worth to evangelize it. Obviously this is time consuming.
I presented the possibility to run WebLogic on Docker and also to run Docker containers in public clouds already at Oracle Open World 2014. At that time only 2% of the audience was aware of Docker! During a 1 day cloud workshop at the German Oracle User Group Meeting a month later in Germany I did a hands-on demo.
Today everybody is crazy about Docker. It's certainly a hype and it nicely goes with the micro services trend. Unfortunately this also means that people forget about open technical issues.
Now Oracle officially certified WebLogic to run on Docker! That is really cool. Interestingly this is based on the work that Bruno Borges from Oracle did and open sourced on github.
How might your work change over the next year?
Myself, I expect to focus more on container orchestration, PaaS, and on big data (machine learning will be a part of it). Again there are dozens of open source projects in this area yet Oracle is surprisingly well integrated with its own big data product pipeline.
Also I am expecting verbal fights with those who rejected SOA some 5 years ago but now believe that microservices are the silver bullet.
Same as with those who believe that they do devops but they actually don't.

How you will see reports last year and till date reports and compare?

How you will see reports last year and till date reports and how you will compare?
sridhar

Hi.
This you can achieve at query level.
I have few question.. First let me know how many KFs you have in the query and based on what characteristic you want to compare the KFs.
Let me assume that you want to compare "SALES" KF for the last and current year.
1) Add the "SALES" KF to the Query.
2) Rename it as "SALES - Prior Year"
3) Copy the above KF and rename the new KF as "SALES - Current Year"
4) In the "SALES - Prior Year", add the date (say, Calendar Date, Fiscal Period, etc.) as per yr requirement. Keep offset as "-1"
5) Do the same for "SALES - Current Year" . No offset.
6) Now create a new formula to find the difference between "SALES - Prior Year" and "SALES - Current Year" .
Hope you got some idea!!
Let me know if anything more is required.

Balaji V

Can you tell me what tool and settings I used?

look at the picture, it seems I used a brush to do the red line and inner blue and outter white but I can't replicate the exact thing can you guys tell me what tools I used? The line at the bottom is the one I want to replicate. The line at the top is the one I get from simulating settings.

Make a new blank layer below palo 2, click back on palo 2 and choose Layer>Merge Down or Ctrl+E
Or if you want to maintain the layer name, make a blank layer below palo 2, click back on palo 2 and beside the blank layer, click in the box just to the right of the eye icon on
the blank layer to link the layers. Then go to Layer>Merge Linked or Ctrl+E

How do I create a new calendar for the current year, using last years calendar's birthday's/photos and comments from the lower pages?

Each year for the past 5 years I make a family calendar and send copies to all he family members around the globe. I hate that I have to recreate all the birthdays and special occasions from scratch, and re-drag all the photos onto these dates, in the lower half of the page of each month on the new calendar. How can I create a new calendar for the current year and port all of these photos/comments into the new calendar from last years calendar, to save having to redo all this work!! I am not talking about the upper half page of the photos only...I am referring to the calendar page of each month.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.

hi,
Check whether the following info can help you?
Go to transaction ST03 or ST03N --> workload >> select correct server >> double click on the day/month/week.
Then you will be able to see the analysis view for that particular day/week/month. Select "user and settlement stats" >> "user profile" .
You will get the list of users who accessed the system on that particular day/week/month according to your selection. Then double click on the user to get the transaction he accessed during that period..! Thats it!!

Creation of Budget using Last Years Actual budget

Hi,
1) Is it possible to create new budgets using copy function to copy last years' actual budget to create a new budget.
2) Also copy budget from one fund center/commitment item to another fund center/commitment item
If it is not the standard functionality then how this can be done.
Regards,
Jyoti

Hi,
You can copy budget via FMCYLOAD - Generate Budget Data activity. You can define reassignment strategy restricting it to CBV year-end process in FMYC, and thus, making available copying from one budget address to another.

Eli

What does iTunes FORCE YOU to download the last version of their software to use their store? The new program is too much for my computer!

This totally *****...iTunes 10 is too much of a memory hog for my POS computer. I have to turn off all other apps just to use it and even then it still runs SLOW. I think iTunes = Extorition. Why force us to use it? They just want to track your personal data. That's pretty evil. The best iTunes version for my computer was iTunes 7. But it won't let me use store on iTunes 7. F@#$*%s!
Instead of making the program more streamlined, they make the next version LARGER FILE SIZE and more of a memory hog.
Apple should be making each successive version a SMALL FILE SIZE and less of a drain on memory.

The problem is a lot of PC's are sold cheap with 5 year old processors and graphic cards in them.
Windows doesn't defrag on the fly, you have to run anti-virus all the time. The PC vendor installs all their "crapware" on the machine too.
Also most PC's don't come with hardly any RAM neither, most people don't know computer specs, don't know how to look up their prospetive machine on the internet and see if they are getting their money's worth.
Microsoft is a enemy too, they allow "toolbars" Acive X and purposely bloat their operating system so it forces you to buy a new one.
At least with iTunes you have a choice to buy your music ANYWHERE, you could have kept on using iTunes 7, just you would have had to buy your music via cd's or another website like Amazon etc.
Microsoft has really bloated down the last few updates of Windows, I replaced all the old Dells with 512MB of RAM and 16 year old single core Cellerons with copies of Linux Like XP so the seniors at a local center can still get on the internet if they need too.
Still even with that the last few updates of Linux have been a bit rough for those old machines, but for the net that's good enough.
LOL!
(Although I don't know if the OP will be in the mood to "get it.")

What tools does Microsoft use to mock UI interfaces, flowchart, use cases, and UML diagrams?

I have searched google, but was not able to find article or blogs to answer this question. The questions asked here are very old. So I think this is a very relevant question today.
We are a .NET group and we to update how we storyboard our application development. What tools does Microsoft use to mock UI interfaces, flowcharts, and use cases? Specifically for projects that are either C# .NET MVC 5 and above (looking forward to
vNext).
In the past, power point was able to do some of these things, but it seems it has been deprecated? Does Visio use these things? Also, is Visual Studio's 2013 UML diagram any good or is there another tool in Microsoft's bag of goodies that has more options?
I have read about blend, but it does not seem to be .NET MVC specific.
Again, this is asking about what tools Microsoft teams usually use to storyboard as our team would like to mimic the more contemporary processes. We are in the process of upgrading our .NET applications and feel it is time to update our workflow process
as well.
Any book recommendations on TFS 2013 and agile are welcomed as well.

What specific technology are older macs bluetooth missing that will not allow handoff to work?

What specific technology are older macs bluetooth (that is built in) missing that will not allow handoff to work? Will apple allow people to buy third party bluetooth 4.0 to allow it to work?

Well, with a PPC Mac you can upgrade as far as Firefox 3.6.19 if you upgrade from Tiger OSX 10.3.9 to Leopard OSX 10.5, but Firefox doesn't support PPC architecture in the latest Firefox 4, 5, and 6.0 versions.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0 & 5.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
But, you still need to carefully investigate if your hardware specs are sufficient for either Firefox 3.6.19 or for 10-4Fox.

I Have apps that I didn't purchase what do I do

If you didn't buy them, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and bought them, then try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
Or you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

What is the difference between the new version of lion and the one manufactured last year.

I just bought a new iMac. I found out it is the version of lion from mid last year and not the latest version. What is the difference?Should I return it and buy the latest version?

Not really. Lion is Lion, last year, this year, it is still Lion.
Yes, but it's a different version. Very cleverly said Barney
Pete
No it is not. The newest update just adds some things to it, no new features and only fixes bugs. It is still Lion OS X 10.7.x. It is not 10.6 or 10.8.
It is just a "Point" release and not a New Operating system. All Macbook Pros that could run Lion from last year can run the newest Lion Point release from this year.
Oh and by the way Barney was talking about Mountain Lion, 10.8. Which is a NEW OS X operating system and has nothing to do with Lion 10.7.x. And it is not out yet.
lol. Don't bust a blood vein. The comment was made in jest, but if you want to be serious, then OK 10.7 and 10.7.1 were different than 10.7.2 and 10.7.3. Why? Well one little thing called 'iCloud' for a start.

Sorry, there was absolutely no mention of the upcoming 10.8 that I could see in Barney's comment.
Cheer Up. Life can't be that bad.

What controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?

Hi, I have had a student ask me a question I cannot answer: what controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?
I have only seen it appear as a black semicircle over each letter, but at a different computer in our training facility, this same tool appears as an aqua-green highlight.
Is it a preference I never noticed? Thanks for any info.
