No non DSLR is good for shooting still images of anything that's in motion.
If you're looking for shots of birds on a feeder, etc. then any of the long range powershots will provide decent files for viewing on a computer or making small prints. The SX50HS lets you capture RAW files which gives you more options for post processing.

P/L A/c for a single day gives different results for different users

Hi!
     We have SAP B1 8.81 (PL 09) in our office. P/L Account for a particular date gives different value for a single account (Other Income Account) for one user and a consistent value for all other users. The user in question is a super user and does not seem to pick a specific entry posted in the Other Income Account for that day thus giving erroneous result. I have checked the Trial Balance for that day and it gives proper result. Only the P/L account gives erroneous data. Could anyone help with the reason for this.
Thanks
Sreekumar

Hi Jitin,
          Thanks for your reply.
          I tried the way you mentioned. However, the result is the same.
          The entry that I'm talking about is an automatic journal entry posted through the Outgoing Payment option.
          To make it more clear, an outgoing payment to a vendor was posted on 05/19/11 for 1,42,178.32. The check was drawn only for 71,089.16 which was the correct amount and the remaining amount (71,089.16) got posted in the Other Income account. The P/L account for this date is not picking the amount of 71,089.16 in the Other Income Account.
Thanks & Regards
Sreekumar

Enterprise Manager does not give correct results

I am using version 9.0.2.0.1 core edition(oc4j & web-cache).
My application consists of business components, java beans and jsp. It is running fine.
Oracle enterprise manager is not giving correct results of memory/cpu usage by oc4j_home and bc4j.
Some times it does not gives result, when i refresh it twice or thrice it shows results.
But results are not correct. On each refresh it gives different results.
Then it is very hard to find which resuslt is correct.
waiting for response,
Tahir.

i have been using 9iAS versions 102*, 90200, 90201, and now using 903.
As stated above, some times the results for oc4j_home is displayed.
But the memory/cpu usage for bc4j is never shown.
Also, its radio-button is always disabled. while its status is "running".
On BC4J page, it also shows results of application modules created. But these results are usually wrong.
How bc4j will be enabled, and how its memory results can be get ???

0I_FYPER - Variable in BEx gives no result

Hello all,
I have a problem in BEx-reporting after a releasechange from BW3.5 to BI7.0 and at the same time SEM-BCS4.0 to SEM-BCS6.0 which belongs to the variable 0I_FYPER. I use this variable in the columns (only) in order to give the user the possibillity to define which periods to show. In the rows I use the rest for defining which numbers to bring up. It worked in BW3.5/SEM-BCS4.0 fine.
I debuged the content of the variable in user-exit ZXRSRU01 (after processing the selection screen) and could find the data I entered but the query gives no result. Any ideas?
Thank you for any feedback,
Chris

Hi Guru,
We have a work around for your issue. Just create a customer Exit variable on the calendar month and use it in the filter.
In the customer Exit variable read the Plant variable and if it is empty populate # as result. Else read the calmonth input variable and populate it as the result.
Use the following snippet to read input ready variables.
DATA: loc_var_range LIKE rrrangeexit.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'VARNAME' INTO loc_var_range.
(loc_var_range-low will have the value of the variable)
Hope this helps.
Regards.
Shafi.

NonLinearFitWithMaxIters does not give correct results for phase

Dear all,
I am trying to fit a sin cuve with NonLinearFitWithMaxIters function of labwindows, but the results given by this function are dispersed a lot (the function does not give same results).
In fact, I have two waveforms signals v and i (of 104 points), and I find the phase between the two signals with NonLinearFitWithMaxIters.
The two singals v and i are measured with an osciloscope.
I use the following fit functions :
v=p1*sin(wt+p2) ;
i=p3*sin(wt+p4) ;
I use the NonLinearFitWithMaxIters function to fit the data and to have the parameters p1, p2, p3, p4. Then, the phase is claculated as follow phase=p4-p3.
The problem is that the phase calculted between the two signals (v and i) is different for each run for the same conditions.
In fact, for a same condition, I measure different times the signals v and i, and I calculate the phase p4-p3, using NonLinearFitWithMaxIters. The goal is to calculate a mean of phases for the same condition. For example, there are cases where the phase=-5 degree, and other cases when phase=12 degree.
For ten measures of v and i, the phase calculated is different. I get a big dispersion between the phases.
I would like to know please why I have a big difference in phases calculated with the same condition?whern using NonLinearFitWithMaxIters.
I read that this function does not give all time the correct results, is there a way to know when the results are not corrects and when they are correct ?
And is there any solution to find accuratly the phase between the two waveforms.
Thank you for your precious answer.

The pseudocode which I am using is :
v_err=NonLinearFitWithMaxIters(array_x,array_v,v_y_fit,1252,100,sinus,v_coef,2,&v_mean_squareError);
The fit function is
double sinus(double x, double a[],int noef){
return (a[0]*sin((w*x)+a[1]));
I use the same inital coeficient of v_coef for each run :
v_coef[0]=0.03;
v_coef[1]=0.2;
These coeficient are choosen arbitrary.
In this case, the number of points of the data is 1252 (the data of array_v).
The number of iterations is 100.
For the array_x, the distance between adjacents values of the array is dt=0.4*1e-9(difference between array_x[i] anv array_x[i+1]=dt=0.4*1e-9 ).
for (i=0;i<1252;i++){
array_x[i]=i*(0.4*1e-9);
The means square error returnned by the function when it is complished is small, of the order of 0,001.
I read the help
« From the help:
You must pass a pointer to the nonlinear function f(x,a) along with a set of initial guess coefficients a. NonLinearFitWithMaxIters does not always give the correct answer. The correct output sometimes depends on the initial choice of a. It is very important to verify the final result.
That means that the function cannot be used, as it does not give correct results. How
can we check if the results are good or not ? in my case.
I think that in my case, the function does not give correct results, but how can I check if the results are good, or not ? The mean square error is small.

--Session_2 return 100103

This is a bug. Got to be a bug.
This should be nothing to do with indeterminate results from ROWNUM, and nothing to do with read consistency at the point of statement start time in session2., surely.
Session 2 should never return 100101 once the lock from session 1 is released.
The SELECT FOR UPDATE should restart and 100101 should not be selected as it does not meet the criteria of the select.
A statement restart should ensure this.
A number of demos highlight this.
Firstly, recall the original observation in the original test case.

Session2>There's no way that session 2 should have returned 100101. That is the point of FOR UPDATE. It completely reintroduces the lost UPDATE scenario.
Secondly, what happens if we drop the index.

Session1>UPDATE taxids SET status=0 where taxid=100101;
1 row updated.
Session1>commit;
Commit complete.
Session1>drop index NI_TaxIdsStatus;

6 FOR UPDATE;
     TAXID
    100102
Session2>Proves nothing, Non-deterministic ROWNUM you say.
Then let's reset, recreate the index and explicity ask then for row 100101.
It should give the same result as the ROWNUM query without any doubts over the ROWNUM, etc.
If the original behaviour was correct, session 2 should also be able to get 100101:
Session1>SELECT taxid
2 FROM   taxids
3 WHERE locationid    = 111
4 AND    NVL(STATUS,0) = 0
5 AND    taxid         = 100101
6 FOR UPDATE;
     TAXID
    100101
Session1>
--> same statement hangs in session 2 until
Session1>BEGIN
2   UPDATE taxids SET status=1 WHERE taxid=100101;
3   COMMIT;
4 END;
5 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Session1>
--> so session 2 stops being blocked and:
Session2>SELECT taxid
2 FROM   taxids
3 WHERE locationid    = 111
4 AND    NVL(STATUS,0) = 0
5 AND    taxid         = 100101
6 FOR UPDATE;
no rows selected
Session2>Of course, this is how it should happen, surely?
Just to double check, let's reintroduce ROWNUM but force the order by to show it's not about read consistency at the start of the statement - restart should prevent it.
(reset, then)
Session1> select t.taxid
2   from
3    (select taxid, rowid rd
4      from   taxids
5      where locationid = 111

--> Yes, session 2 hangs until...
Session1>BEGIN

4 END;
5 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

This is a bug.
The worrying thing is that I can reproduce in 9.2.0.8 and 11.2.0.2.

A trigger returned a resultset and/or was running with SET NOCOUNT OFF while another outstanding result set was active

I have 2 servers connected over a low speed wan and we're running SQL Server 2008 with Merge replication.
At the subscriber, sometimes when attempting to insert new rows, I get this error:
A trigger returned a resultset and/or was running with SET NOCOUNT OFF while another outstanding result set was active.
My database doesn't have any triggers; the only triggers are the one created by the Merge replication
Also, whenever this error occurs it automatically rolls back the existing transaction
I am using DataTables and TableAdapters to
insert and update the database using transactions
What I have checked:
the database log file size is below 50Mb
Checked the source code for Zombie transactions (since I wasn't able to retrieve the actual error at the beginning)
Checked the connection between the two servers and found it congested
Questions:
How to avoid this behavior and why it's occurring at first place?
Why it's cancelling the open transaction?

did the issue happen on some specific tables or all the tables?
I suggest to run sql server trace at publisher and subscriber when the issue happens. Please involve below events and columns

Custom search using boolean attribute set to True gives no result

I am setting up an auto-query using the custom search portlet. This is to show all items where a boolean custom attribute is checked, ie = True.
In step 3 I have tried to set the operator to Equals to and the default value to True. This gives no results even though several items have this attribute set to True.
The Auto Query check box is checked.

Found that True = 1 in database. When set to this the search works.

A 2008 Mac won't have originally shipped with Lion. You need to install 10.6.8 on the computer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion, click on the Purchases tab, and download it.

Ps CS6 Save For Web - various resampling choices give identical result

Ps CS6
OS X 10.6.8
Save For Web offers 5 resampling algorithms (the same 5 as in Image Size, ignoring "Bicubic Automatic", of course) for when the output is being resized.
All choices except "Nearest Neighbor" output an identical image (which is different to all results of Image Size). Although the "Bilinear" output contains the same pixels as the output of the 3 bicubics, its file size is slightly different then their shared file size.
I normally resize with Image Size, so this post is not a request for help. This is only to alert Adobe to the apparent problem.

Which Sony Camera to buy to work with FCE HD?

I'm looking at either the Sony HDR FX1E HDV or Sony HDR HC1E HDV.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Hi(Bonjour)!
That depends of what are your needs...
Both models works well with FCE HD 3.5 .
Try some research on the web for a comparaison between those two models. Look at:
http://reviews.cnet.com/SonyHandycam_HDR_HC3/4505-65007-31749257.html?tag=tpr
and
http://reviews.cnet.com/SonyHDR_FX1/4505-65007-31085889.html
The FX1E (E stands for european model) seems to be more semi-professionnal (3 CCD chips, big lens, big form factory, more manual controls and big price) than HC1(one CMOS chip, smaller case, operation by screen menus). But the HC1 would give good results either. Pay attention that HC1 is actualy replaced by a newer model: HC3 for the same price. May be you can find a bargain price for a new HC1.
It's a matter of finding to good balance between your needs and your wallet...
Remember that HDV needs powerful computer with plenty of RAM and space on hard disk, but that image quality is fantastic. (a dual G5 with 4.5 Gig RAM is a such powerfull computer).
Actually, your options for distibuting HDV natively are limited to play final movie from your camcorder. There is not DVD burner that support HDV right now. (do a search in this forum under "HDV, iDVD DVD burner"

Which video cameras w/HD have a Fire Wire connectivity?

Recently, I bought a Sony video camera w/HD that had a USB cable to transfer data from a video camera HD to IMac. However, when I've attempted to do that, an application IMovie informed me that I must have a Fire Wire cable which video camera didn't have. What kind video cameras are recommend for easy transfer data to IMac?

Fencer
When you say HD you mean Hard Drive, right?
What kind video cameras are recommend for easy transfer data to IMac?
Any MiniDV camcorder will have a firewire connection.
