Which approach do you prefer for upgrade

When upgrade 9.2 to 10.1 or 10.1 upgrade 10.2, which approach do you prefer, DBUA, manual ipgrade, export/import or data copying? Oracle document suggests to use DBUA, but from your experience, does it convince and why?
Thank you for sharing,

For me, It depends of the database size and business constraints.
If the DB is small I'd probably use export/import, because it gives me the opportunity to make a very clean move, and use new features like LMT, or ASM.
If time is a constraint and the DB is big I'd run DBUA. but remember that DBUA also has limitation, for example you will net be able to upgrade an Oracle DB 7.X to 10G using DBUA.
Hope this helps,

Which one do you prefer for 2.1 Stereo Speak

I am planning to buy a Creative Sound card for my Streo 2. Speakers but don't know which of Creative EXTERNAL solution will sound better and blast my bass when i connect it to my notebook to streo speaker.Which one do you prefer ? Thanks.

If you have a spare PCMCIA slot, check out the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook. External solutions, there is the SBLi've 24-bit External.
You might want to check out the Xmod though, it is a new product and seems to fit the bill if you're trying to improve the audio quality from your laptop.

Which method do you prefer for laying out a site?

Hi
i know tables are old now, but i know that its good for all
round compatibility.
Is it true that using layers to create a website is a bad
idea?
Do i need to really start learning how to type more in code
mode? and start using DIV tags? And if i do need to start using
DIVS is it important that i get Fireworks 8 for this?
Thank you

Canon EOS-1D X vs. EOS-5D MK III - Which camera do you prefer ?

Canon has two excellent full frame cameras occupying their higher end of the DSLR market. They are the EOS-1D X and the EOS-5D MK III. I have been using Canon equipment for about 25 years now and started with the EOS-1 series when it first came out in 1989 and the EOS-5 series when it first appeared on the market in 2005.
I am a Wildlife and Travel photographer and have used both cameras extensively out in the field. The two questions I get asked the most are, which is a better camera and which one do you prefer? My answers are always the same two questions, what type of photography are you shooting and how much do you want to spend? This analysis will not have photos, charts and graphs and assumes the reader is already familiar with Canon equipment. It will get straight to the point on my opinion of the two cameras from the viewpoint of a photographer out on photo shoots.
First, let us compare the major specs of the two cameras, EOS-1D X vs. EOS-5D MK III :
Sensor Resolution : 18.1 MP vs. 22.3 MP
ISO Sensitivity : 100 - 204800 vs. 100 - 102400
Processors : Dual DIGIC 5+ and 1 DIGIC 4 vs. One DIGIC 5+
Recording Media : Two CF slots vs. One CF and One SD slot
Viewfinder : 0.76X vs. 0.71X
Burst Rate : 14 fps vs. 6 fps
Autofocus : 61-AF points vs. 61-AF points
Cycle Count : 400,000 vs. 150,000
DxOMark Sensor Score : Overall - 82 vs. 81
Low Light Performance : 2786 ISO vs. 2293 ISO
Weight and Dimension : 6.2 x 6.4 x 3.3 @ 3.37 lbs vs. 6.0 x 4.6 x 3.0 @ 2.1 lbs.
List price : $6,799 vs. $3,499
Both cameras are excellent performers out in the field. The 1D X is completely weather sealed and can stand up to most conditions. AF is lighting fast and high ISO performance are superb and as you can see from the specifications above, they are almost evenly matched in performance but the EOS-1D X edges out the EOS-5D MK III in Sensor Score, Low Light Performance, burst rate and cycle count, while the 5D MK III has an edge in pixel count. So, going back to the original questions posed to me :
Q : Which is a better camera ?
A : They are both great cameras in their own right. If you are primarily a Wildlife photographer, the obvious choice is the EOS-1D X. It comes through for me under extreme conditions with little fuss and stands up to harsh use but if you are into Portrait and Landscape photography, the higher megapixel count in the 5D MK III will allow a slightly more robust cropping and lends itself to very big photo prints.
Q : Which camera do you prefer ?
A : If I were strictly a Landscape or Portrait photographer, I will pick the EOS-5D MK III. A photographer shooting both Wildlife and Landscape/Travel will do better with the EOS-1D X.
Q : Which camera is the better value (price dependent) ?
A : Without a doubt, I have picked the EOS-5D MK III as the best value in full frame DSLR camera on the market today.
Q : Which is a better camera, overall ?
A : Without another doubt, the EOS-1D X excels in all categories but at a price some may not want to, or cannot afford. Good, used ones will appear on the market eventually.
Q : Which camera would you buy (price dependent) ?
A : The Canon EOS-1D X represents the pinnacle of Canon's camera technology. There is really no substitute to shoot with the latest 1D. The performance, feel and ruggedness of the camera exudes confidence. I have not bought the EOS-5D MK III because I still own the original 5D and I have the EOS-1Ds MK III as well. So, there is little room in my equipment bag for another full frame camera but the price of the 5D MK III is now down to $2,600 on eBay (limited quantity) and is tempting me by the day.
For full details on each camera's specifications, visit the Canon USA website. For a detailed analysis on the EOS-1D X, visit this page. You can visit MichaelDanielHo.com to see photos taken with all the cameras.

I went through the same drill - came down to $3300 extra for 14 vs 6 fps. I bought the 5DIII.

And by the way, where can I get a 4+ meter microphone boom for a budget?

The more expensive one with rails. (the French ebay one) Your using it to make your camera look better for clients, right? Metal and rails look better than the cloth one.
I bet, though, if you want one for functionality (to hold square filters) the cloth one is better made from what it looks likes.

Which tool do you use for load testing?

Which tool do you use for load testing for J2EE application?

hi,
i use jmeter for without issues..
first make sure that the system from where you are doing load testing is in the same lan(without firewall) to that of server. Here you are testing the capacity of server and not the network bandwith.
So assuming very good network connection what is the servers performance level...
If u have to decide which tool is decent enough to load testing,
i would suggest go for jmeter. its reliable and i have used it without problems.
Here is my quick tutorial for jemeter which i made for my teams reference.
REFERENCE
     For Getting Started refer to any tutorial for Jmeter
     You can refer to introduction on
          http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/
RUNNING LOAD TEST
     Extract jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4.zip in c:
     install jdk-1_5_0_12-windows-i586-p.exe
     Run C:\jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4\bin\jmeter.bat
     In Test Plan add Thread Group
     Right Click Thread Group -> Add->Sampler->HTTP Request
     Select HTTP Request added fill details
          Serverip:www.xyz.com
          Port:80
          Path:/xyz-webapp/index.jsp
          Use KeepAlive: Checked
          Retrive All Embeded images from HTML: Checked(For geting images inside html)
     Right Click Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Graph Results
     Click on Thread Group Fill details
          No of Threads:3(This means no of simultaneous users)
          Ramp Up Period:1(3 Request will be made in 1 second period)
          Loop Count:5(Above process should be repeated how many times)
     Save TestPlan
     Run -> Clear All
     Run -> Start
          Click on Graph Results for Output
     Try adding different listener in Thread Group
          Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Summary Report
     Listeners coud be added at thread group level or HTTP Request Level
RECORDING A TEST.
     Add a HTTP proxy server in workbench by right clicking on it and selecting Add->Non test Element->HTTP Proxy Server.
     In Test Plan Add Thread Group
     In HTTP proxy server select Target Controller as Test Plan > Thread Group.
     Go to Internet Explorer and go to internet settings and set proxy server as localhost and the port
          which is configured in Jmeter proxy server.Save Settings.
     In Jeter proxy server start by Clicking on Start button in the HTTP Proxy Server Flap.
     In browser navigate the application which you want to test.
     The nodes will be added in the Thread Group.
     Once Navigation is done stop the proxy server and save the test plan from file menu.
LOGGING INTO APPLICATION.
     When we have to login into system and then navigate the system
          we need a cookie to be tracked after login. This could be achieved
          simply by Add -> Config Element -> HTTP Cooie Manager.
     After adding the HTTP Cooie Manager simply run the test.
LOOPING COUNTER.
     When a request is made multiple parameter is sent to server.
     Parameters are sent from the HTTP Request node added in the Thread Group
          in "Send Parameter with the request" table.
     If we run the loop count 10 times the parameters will be sent same in every request.
     If you have to send parameters like user1,user2,user3,user4....
          then add -> Pre processor -> Counter.
     Put start as 1 and and Maximum as 10 or whatever required.
     Put Referene name as iCtr or whatever.
     In the "Send Parameter with the request" in value column put user${iCtr}

Which bag do you use for 14 inch wide screen?

Which bag do you use for 14 inch wide screen?
I got confused when searching for possible candidates. Almost all wide screen bags are designed for 15.4 inch. Few 14 inch bags are fit only for the normal 4:3 screen.
Any advice from you are welcomed!
Many thanks!

Hello,
Other brands you might want to look at are Brenthaven, Case Logic, Eagle Creek, EastPak, EZM, Jan Sport, Kensington, Swiss Army, Targus and Trager. There is also an earlier message thread here in the forum discussing carrying options, and a quick search of the Internet found some messages here, here and here that you might find of interest.
There really are lots of different solutions when it comes to carrying your ThinkPad, so it might be best to visit a few computer, electronics, office supply and sporting goods stores to find something you like and meets your needs (and budget). If you do not have your ThinkPad to yet, consider either bringing a tape measure or a piece of cardboard cut to the dimensions to "test" with bags.

Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

I agree - it's all about preference. I use the ThinkTank Retrospective 7. I *love* ThinkTank's attention to detail... everything from having a rain cover included with the bag, to having ingenius use of velcro (sp?) patches to enable you to "silence" the bag so it doesn't make the big "SCRATCH" sound when opening the bag during a quiet event, etc.
My best advice would be to do your research (which you're clearly doing) and have a clear understanding of the return policy wherever you buy it, and then don't be afraid to return it if you get it and feel it doesn't meet your needs. A restocking fee is a small price to pay to not be stuck with a bag that doesn't work for you. And if for any reason you get it and can't return it, there's always eBay.

Which router do you use for AppleTV?

So I got to thinking the other day that maybe there are just certain routers that no matter what will not work with AppleTV.
The only one that I have gotten to work EVERY time and consistently is the Airport Extreme Base Station.
My gf had a belkin (I don't remember the model #) that no matter what, I could not get it to remain consistent i.e. had to restart almost every day, randomly showed port 3689 error, etc
I tried the normal stuff, enabling uPNP, port forwarding, etc..nothing helped.
With the AEBS (which I already had and made her get) everything was fine and dandy.
So my questions to you are:
1) If not the AEBS, which router do you use?
2) If not the AEBS, which settings did you have to set?
3) If not the AEBS, what is the model / firmware version of your router?
I noticed many people have problems that are the same things on this board over and over. And I've also noticed that it's usually the router and/or the settings that are causing the issues/inconsistencies.
This should be an interesting thread and should help steer people in the right direction.

Airport Extreme doesnt have enuf port forwards for most online games & so I avoided that one.
There is no limit (short of maxing out system capacity). It may not have the presets you want, but you can configure port forwarding manually.
indeed, i can confirm this.
i have many ports forwarded on my AEBS and it is very easy to configure to do so.

Which architecture do you use for OIM 11g IHM (admin, self service, etc)?

Hi,
I would like to know if you use :
- The native IHM with native extension (Event handlers, prepopulate adapters, etc).
- Custom tabs in ADF added to OIM.
- A web application in ADF (war) added to the oim.ear.
- A J2EE application in ADF which communicates through webservices.
- A J2EE application in another technology which communicates through webservices.
- Other architectures.
And why did you choose this architecture?
Thank you very much for your replies.

Pierre.

Note that you can use the internal LDAP that comes with WebLogic, for your users and groups if you want.
When you have multiple domains, you have a problem with this set-up as the internal LDAP is coupled to
a specific domain. This means that users you created in one domain are not visible in the other. When using
a separate LDAP that contains the users. You can configure in each domain an authenticator that points
to the LDAP. In this way you can share to user accross multiple domains.
When you are planning to use one domain you can stick with the internal LDAP if you want.
An example set-up (that uses access manager not identity manager) can be found here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=7819,
which might help you in how to proceed.

Just wondering, what kinda tools do you prefer for data modeling

Reading alot about datamodeling, from E-R diagrams to UML. In your database designs. From the conceptual, logical and physical model. What tool you prefer the most and why. What is a good tool for such things. And does Oracle supply such tools. Just curious as to what the professionals use.

ER-WIN is your tool for Database physical / Logical data modeling.

Encrypt sensitive passwords in shell script - Which one do you prefer ?

Hi ,
I am looking for various options to encrypt a sensitive password in a unix shell script. After a bit of googling, I learned about 'shc'.
Can you please advice on what things you use for this purpose, if any ?
My requirement / idea is
A .sql file will have to be executed by a shell script in SQLPLUS as USER/XXXX . The .sql file will be prepared by developer and will be put to a directory to which their osuser - say 'user1' will have write access. I will have 'oracle' user in the server , who is the DBA user. I want them to run this SQL like, runthis.sh test.sql where runthis.sh is owned by oracle user and will reside in some directory owned by DBA user. I am planning to configure schema password (USER/XXXX) in runthis.sh , which a developer is not supposed to know.
But if I give execute permission for 'user1' to runthis.sh, it becomes readable and all can read the password. Is there anyway , I can store encrypted password in SQLPLUS connect string in this file / encrypt shell script as such ?
Thanks in Advance.
With Regards,

When restoring a mailbox, which command do you prefer to use?

I was accustomed to using New-MailboxExportRequest, but just learned how to use Restore-Mailbox.
Is there one command that you prefer to use instead of the other? Just curious.
Thanks,
Robert

Hi,
I agree with Andy. We use the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet to export contents of a primary mailbox or archive to a .pst file. When the request encounters corruption in the mailbox, we can add the BadItemLimit parameter to specify the number of bad items
to skip.
And the Restore-Mailbox cmdlet is used to extract mailbox content from a restored database. The Restore-Mailbox cmdlet can only use disconnected mailboxes on a server as a source of data, and the cmdlet can only use connected mailboxes as a target for data.
If you want to learn more about the Restore-Mailbox cmdlet, you can refer to
Restore-Mailbox.

For black and white images in technical manuals, which format do you prefer?

So, I'm new at this company, and the person who is training me uses the EMF format for the images on the manuals.
Do you think a PNG file would be a better option for illustrations?

> ... 90% of the manuals are digital (burned into a CD)
Presumably as PDFs, which the ends users then either view on line or print locally?
> ... and 10% are printed in grayscale.
On what type of press?
You probably want the images optimized for on-line viewing.
In the case of line art, this means staying in vector form, so that it scales cleanly, and using a stroke weight that is optimized for typical resolutions and convenience printing.
In the case of raster art, this means having enough resolution to maintain detail at reasonable zoom, and on convenience printers.
For vector, we normalize stroke weights to about 0.2 point, save as EPS and import the EPS. On Frame versions later than 7.x, PDF import might also be stable, and preserves vector as vector. SVG I haven't tested.
For raster contone (grayscale or color), avoid JPEG in the workflow. It is lossy and introduces artifacts. Never use it for screen shots or scans. Even if your camera image is JPG, convert it to an uncompressed form during edit and post-processing, such as PSD. Our target delivery resolution for contone is 200 dpi. This is slightly more than our press can resolve, but provides a bit of zoom for PDF viewing. We save the final images as EPS, and import those. TIF is also OK for this application (uncompressed). We select the compression level during PDF generation.
For bitmap images, again avoid JPG. We optimize these for 600 dpi (our press resolution), save and import them as TIF (EPS is really clumsy for bitmap).
EPS is a bit annoying to work with in Frame, as what you see during edit is a thumbnail or preview (72 dpi), but what renders to Ps or PDF is original vector or full raster. But EPS is fast, rock solid, and (if you need it) can preserve original CMYK color into the Ps or PDF.
