Which OWB version is 'better': 9.2.0.4 or 10gR1?

LS,
For a new project I can choose which OWB version to install. Currently I'm working with 9.2.0.4, and I wonder whether 10gR1 is better.
Since the project starts in a month or so we cannot wait for 'Paris'...
I'm quite satisfied with the performance of 9.2.0.4, know how to work with it and which gripes and bugs to expect.
The only real drawback is the fact that you have to install 9.2.0.2.8 first and then patch it to 9.2.0.4.
The only experience I have with 10gR1 is on my 'own' laptop on which I did a tiny tryout. Works basically the same as 9.2, but I noticed some annoying behaviour.
When editing a table in a mapping, at some stage the "Mapping Table Editor" gets displayed only partially - the left side will be 'blank'.
Don't know whether this is a bug or that it's OS related (running Win2K Pro) or DB related (10g), but it's a hassle because you have to guess what you're typing when adding columns to a table (or view).
Any suggestions on the 'preferred version'?
Thanks, Patrick

Hello Patrick,
no special documentation. But, I try to gather ideas and use cases, even from projects very different from OWB+Oracle, and then there is an effort to obtain a design as modular as possible. For small tables I prefer to lay out a complete, already templated stream of mappings rather then saving some nanoseconds at runtime. The main effort in the OWB GUI is done in preparing templates, and tuning those special cases which require extra care or performance, Ã la Customer dimension.
The graphical tool is home-made. It is an effort to put together in a sensible way the bunch of OMB scripts etc useful to define the ETL.
This reminds me of another GUI idea: I have read in this forum (maybe also from you?) about sharing scripts etc in a more open and easy way than Oracle OTN. This would be very useful, but to me it's diffucult to find a path in my own scripts which often require parameters embedded in the code, not to speak of scripts made by others. So I think it would be useful to write a simple GUI to interface with OMBPlus, allowing to collect the useful scripts that many people ask for and to have a dialog asking for parameters instead of parsing scripts by hand every time one needs them.
I plan to implement this one myself sooner or later, but maybe someone else could be interested in this one.

Which OWB version is stable ?

Hi.
I'm working on OWB 10.2.0.1.31 it's very slow!! and load of bugs!! which version is stable? 10.2.0.3 or 11g? please advise.
Thank you
molino

I have recently upgraded to 10.2 from 10.1.0.4. I had originally upgraded to 10.2.0.1.31 and found this to be extremely buggy and essentially unusable. In an attempt to fix these problems I then upgraded again to 10.2.0.3 and have found that although some of the issues have been fixed overall the product is still completely unusable (if for no other reason than what appear to be obvious memory leaks causing the application to hang indefinitely every few times something is generated or attempted for deployment).
Anyone interested in some of the 10.2.0.1 issues should see the following thread:
Post-upgrade tasks for OWB 10g Release 2
Extremely disappointing (and frustrating) overall. Throw in the fact that 10.1.0.4 is "desupported" and you're left wondering which is the lesser of these evils.

Which DB version to use for Oracle CMSDK

Hi ,
We are planning to upgrade our iFS 9.0.1 instance to CMSDK.The current configuration has
1) iFS 9.0.1
2) DB 9.0.1.1
I'm wondering which is the best configuration for the upgrade.
CMSDK(9.0.3)
With
1) 9.0.1 DB
2) 9.2
3) 9.2.0.3
We tried 9.2 since it has significant bug fixes ,but we can't do late binding context search with this configuration due to bug. Has anyone tried the CMSDK with 9.2.0.3 Version.
Looking forward for your replies.
Thanks
Rajesh Basawa

Please read the installation guide for details:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A96699_01/toc.htm
It states that you may use Oracle Database version 9.0.1 or above, so I would say that you may use any of the 3 versions you suggest. The later version the better, so I would recommend 9.2.0.3.
Just make sure you follow the installation guide and ensure that all database, hardware, and operating system requirements are met.

Which would be a better purchase, Zen Touch or Zen Mic

Okay for christmas this year I am asking for an mp3 player. Ive done my research and decided between the Zen Touch or Zen Micro so that I may take advantage of Napsters music downloading service. Now my delima is which would be a better purchase. Ive read reviews on amazon, epinions, and cnet. As far as the Micro goes its a love/hate type of thing while i've read only good reviews of the Touch. Now the Touch doesnt seem as popular and for what reason I dont know. Also i've noticed the Micro has a great number of more accessories than the Zen Touch. Now taking into consideration accessories and durability which would you say is the better LONG term purchase?
-Thanks

If you are planning on using subscriptoin music, I would go with the Touch, as it is a 20GB player and you have unlimited music to download (more space=more music )
Don't get it wrong, the Micro is awesome, I would have got it if I didn't have so much music.
And my guess as to why the Touch is not as popular as the Micro is that people don't like the way it looks and it's size (which is understandable, because of it's 24hour battery).
The Touch is also a great value, because it comes with an AC power cable (the Micro used to come with this when it first came out, but now it is sold separatley), and a carrying pouch (I replaced mine with a better because you can't aceess the MP3 player while it is in the pouch, making it a bit inconvenient). On top of it all, the 20GB version sells for around $200. And with the new firmware, the "over-sensiti've" touchpad that many reviews claim is now taken care of, and it is as easy to use as the Zen Micro's touchpad .
All in all, it is down to what you want:
a 5GB MP3 player that looks cool and comes in 0 different colors
or a 20GB player that comes with a few extra acessories. Both are around the same price (the Micro may be $20 cheaper, if it is on sale).

Computer is confused about which OS version is running (!)

... and so am I.
About This Mac reports 10.4.6
however, apps that are installed, like Safari, are ones associated with earlier versions of 10.4.
And Software Update wants to update me to 10.4.11.
This is after a clean reinstall. Any ideas?

About This Mac reports 10.4.
Then that is what are running.
apps that are installed, like Safari, are ones associated with earlier versions of 10.4.
Then you have never updated them.
Software Update wants to update me to 10.4.11
And so you should! But do it properly:
There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__PPC
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.4.11 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Which Imac would be better for gaming?

So i've got a choice between these two models -
£1329.60
3.1GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
TB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
8gb Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1GB GDDR5
Apple care
27 inch model
3.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB (two 4GB) memory
1TB hard drive1
NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M with 1GB video memory
Apple care
£1407.60
Basically, the decision is down to, do I want a slightly better graphics card and bigger screen, or a smaller screen and better processer?
I just want to gauge opinions, i'll be using it as my day to day computer as well, some video editing, but nothing too strenuous. How big is the difference in graphic and processing powers.
Thanks for your help

With all due respect the question was "which iMac would be better for gaming?". Key word here is 'better', not 'perfect', not 'ideal'; just 'better'. Unqualified answers and/or sweeping statements do very little to contribute to a discussion, let alone answer the question under consideration.

My iOS remains the same as whats inside my iPhone I bought it 18months ago, which is version 4.2.1, I am told by an Apple shop that its too old to do a proper update, unless all my data will have to be erased !! is this true ? if so, how to get round it

Be sure to do a backup before updating as protection. Photos should
be synced with your computer, music should be in iTunes, documents
should be backed up on your computer as should contacts in whatever
program you use on your computer. You should already have backups
of your important information to prevent loss in case of theft, crash,
physical damage. The question is not if your hard drive will crash but
when, and you iPhone is not a backup device nor fit for the only
source of any document, picture, music, movie, contact or otherwise
irreplaceable information.

Which Bluetooth headphones are better for iPhone 4?

Hi.
I did a search on the forums looking for recommendations on a good pair of wireless bluetooth headphones to use with my new iPhone 4, but didn't find any thread for actual users to review or recommend brands or so...

OR
2) W541 with:
-Intel Core i7-4710MQ Processor (2.5GHz, up to 3.5 GHz, 6MB, 47W)
-Windows 7 Professional 64 preinstalled through downgrade rights in Windows 8.1 Pro 64
-Thinkpad W541 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080), with WWAN
-W540 NVIDIA Quadro K1100M 2G (or W540 NVIDIA Quadro K2100M 2G[add $250.00])
-4GB PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600MHz SODIMM (planning on uprgading to 16 or 32GB later)

Web price: $1639.00
Which is a better system/performance for the money? Which is better for moderate (2013 and earlier) gaming, video editing, XP mode, etc?
Is the performance upgrade of the w541 over the t540p worth the money upgrade?
Which will hold out better for 5-10 years? No CAD usage foreseen. Would 32GB be necessary for the w541, or would 16GB be enough?
The camera is something I would gladly do without; its presence is a drawback. Same for fingerprint reader.
Thanks.
(Edited to add)
PS: If the t540p is the way to go, does it make sense, for a $55.00 price increase, to upgrade from a i5-4330m to an i7-4700mq? At that point, is the graphics card (Nvidia GT 730m) bottlenecking the processor, game, etc. so much that the CPU upgrade is a waste of money?

I have the T540p with the i7-4700. It is a strong machine and a CPU upgrade to the 4700 is worth the $50. A 4700 will perform the same in either laptop.
Grqphics cards are always the bottle neck. The GT730M can't do much so if graphics are a concern it's the W541. The W541 also has the new touch pad & thunderbolt, a bigger power supply and more of a workstation feel. That is attractive to me, but, if all you plan to do is spreadsheets and surf the T540p will go right through it.
If it didn't break the budget I would do the W541 with the i7-4810 cpu and the K2100M. I would complain about the price but I think I'd be happier with that config over the next three years.
Sixteen gig of memory should be good & focus on a fast boot drive.
If you call in the order they may give a $50 discount, if you ask.

10.5.8 or 10.6.8 ?
spec: 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo

You need to install 10.6.8 because 10.5.8 is no longer receiving security updates and increasingly applications are not compatible with it. However, I recommend increasing your RAM from 1 GB to at least 2 GB, 4 if your system will support.

Which DAQmx Version is sutiable for Labview 8.2.1

Hai Guys,

I pasted that source code in another PC. I opened that source code It shows DAQmx Write file.VI was Missing. So i searced Daq file and I find it. So i Pasted that Vi in Source code It shows Labview 11 error. Currnt labview Version is 8.6 and DAQ version 8.8. So kindly tell me How to slove this issue and Which DAQmx Version is suitable for 8.2.1
Please do the needfull.
Thanks
Thanks

Any DAQmx should work, I use the latest with LV7.1. You can download it from ni.com or use the CDs supplied with your hardware.
The mistake you made was to copy the missing VIs. You need to run the DAQmx installer instead (after installing LV, so it can detect which LV versions to support).

Pan and Zoom Effect, which PE version introduced it?

I like my PE 3.0 but it does not seem to offer the Pan and Zoom effect. Or am I just not seeing it. Does anyone know which later version introduced it? I know 8.0 has it, but when did it come along? The bundled version of Photoshop 5.0 it came with has a pan slide show, just discovered it.
Also, I am familiar with keyframes, would this be helpful with 3.0 pan? or do I need a newer version. Any tutorials good for this?
thank you

Pan & Zoom is available in all versions that offer Keyframing on the fixed Effects>Motion>Scale (Zoom) and Motion>Position (Pan). What might have been introduced would be Presets to do those with "one button." Do not know when those came into being. I do not use them in PrE 4, and would not in PrE 8, or 9, as I want control, and also the ability to determine what MY subject is, in an image. No amount of AI can do that for me, so a simple Preset stands about a zero chance of doing exactly what I want.
At some point, PSE added the automatic Random Pan & Zoom. Again, were I doing a slideshow in it, I would not apply such, as i would Keyframe Motion>Position and Motion>Scale in PrE.
In PrE 3, I feel strongly that you have the Effects Control Panel (accessed via Edit Effects for a Clip/still), and the ability to Keyframe both Motion>Scale and Motion>Position. This allows one adjust the parameters for those Effects over time, i.e. create a Zoom, and create a Pan. Other than the fact that you do these by hand, by eye and by mind, but with ultimate control, you have the features - just not automatically applied via a single button.
Good luck,
Hunt

WLC: which software-version support SHA2 certificates for Web Authentification and Web Management ?

Hello,
I tried to install new SHA2 3th-Party certificates on our WLCs. There are old WiSM1-Boards and 2504 to support our old 1230 Access Points, running 7.0.251.2, which didn't install it, although the config manual for 7.6 and 8.0 say that SHA2 certificates are supported since 7.0.250.0. When I tried to install the SHA2-certificates I get the message "File transfer failed" an the log says:
*TransferTask: Dec 12 13:22:14.394: #UPDATE-3-CERT_INST_FAIL: updcode.c:1869 Failed to install Webauth certificate. rc = 1
*TransferTask: Dec 12 13:22:14.394: #SSHPM-3-KEYED_PEM_DECODE_FAILED: sshpmcert.c:4085 Cannot PEM decode private key
I tried to install the same certificates on our WiSM2-Boards, running 7.4.121.0 and I failed too. The same certificates could be installed on a 2504 running 8.0.100 without any problems.
In all 3 cases I tried to install unchained certificates for web management and Level 3 chained certificates for web authentication. I used the following guides to get the certificates (e.g. taken from the config manual 8.0.100):
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/4400-series-wireless-lan-controllers/109597-csr-chained-certificates-wlc-00.html
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wlan-security/70584-csr-wlc-00.pdf

Hello,
I solved the problem. First I used a Debian Linux system with Openssl 1.0.1. After I searched the internet using one of the log messages above I found sites which mentioned to use Openssl 0.9.x. So I tried a productive and security fixes Debian Linux System running Openssl 0.9.8 and I succeeded. The wlcs accepted the certificate files and used it after a reboot. The Web GUI still shows a SHA1 Fingerprint, but the certificate signature Algorithm is SHA2:
Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption
When you check the openssl.org homepage Openssl 0.9.8 is still one of the actual version of openssl and is still available and fixed. But the Openssl Roadmap says:
"We don't want to have to maintain too many branches. This is likely to include a timescale for the EOL of version 0.9.8"
I don't know the differences between certificates made with openssl 0.9.8 and 1.0.1. Is there anybody who can explain it to me ?
Regards
