Wondering how to deal with NTFS drive

Hi there, Mac addicted folks!
I have an external USB drive with 2 partitions on it. I was used on my old windows laptop, so one partition is in FAT32 and the other in NTFS. I found out Tiger couldn't deal with NTFS, and that it could only read.
And once I checked a bit with disk utility and saw I could make an image of a disk.
So I was wondering, to change completly my NTFS partition, could I make a full disk image of this partition, wipe it all out, and recreate a new Mac-more-friendly partition and moving my stuff using the disk image I did?
Oh also! I just though of it... I'm not sure, but is there something with the autorization system with NTFS? Perhaps this is affecting me? I'm not sure about what I am talking about though.
(One last thing, while getting on these forums, I noticed my Firefox browser was missing badly tons of character, in words or sentences. But it doesn't apply to any other pages as far as I've seen. I checked character encoding but nothing to do. Anything to do with fonts?)
Thank you to anyone who could help me!

Ok, great, I'll try that then.
Maybe it's because I'm still used to windows, but moving mass of data on these machines was somewhat unstable. But as far as I checked for OS X, I've never had any problem. I was just a little sceptic of what would happen-like going unstable like windows.
Great, thanks I'll try that then!
Edit!
Oh yeah, BTW, is there any way to manage easily partitions, without having all the data cleared, by example for extending my FAT32 partition to all over the NTFS will will be emptied, but without cleareing also FAT32 to rewrite it all over? I think such applications does even exist in GUI, or at least I saw a part of it in installing Boot Camp.

How to deal with the "driver not installed" message?

My issue, and it seems many others here have it too, is how to install a printer driver in the face of the "driver not installed" message.
In my case, it's an HP4160 Rendevous printer. I've deleted the com.apple.print files in the Library, reinstalled the software, made sure that BDC package, or whatever it's called is installed, even downloaded and run the printer fix software from Fixamac.
Nothing works.
I have the feeling this isn't a printer or driver-specific issue, but is an OS problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

It appears the Deskjet 4160 will not work with an Airport. Connected via USB, the driver installs normally and the the printer appears to run just fine, although I haven't done much with it yet.
It simply will not work on a wireless network through an Airport. Frustrating, but workable by bringing the laptop to the printer.

How to deal with moving around like in gta2?

Hi there,
I'm programming an game but i was wondering how to deal with moving around like in gta2.
my game is also top-down with you(tha player) constantly in the middle of the screen. I know how to deal with button press etc.. but how to calculate how manny pixels the map has to move in the x and y axis...
It's difficult to explain for me.. but hope the picture is clear..
greetings

I was afraid for this one already.. the picture is not clear:) thanx for your response so far.. I will try again.. with the game gta2 in mind:)
see this screenie: http://www.vollversion.de/bilder/705_1_full.jpg
My game looks the same as gta2 top down... with the character in the middle of the screen(the one firing the flame thwower )(the player). if i press up he walks towards the police car.. if i press left or right.. he only turns around(an combination of pressing up and left is also posible) thus the character walks in the direction he's facing.
Now i would like to know how did they do this? how to programm such a movement? Because the character is standing constnatly in the middle of the screen the map has to move like in almost every game... how to calculate the x and y axis movement of the map?
Please.. try agian.. hopefully the screenie will help.

IMac SSD full - how to deal with the two drives

Greetings all,
I've been using an iMac i7 with two drives SSC and HDD. Recently, I've been having issues with the SSD being close to full. I use it for applications only, although some apps need lots of space (iTunes, iMovie, Photoshop, etc.) I use Lightroom and have all the images on the spinning drive. Does anyone know how to deal with this issue? Any way I can move the music from iTunes to the separate drive, or any way to figure out what exactly is using most of my space?
Thanks in advance for your help.

How to deal with visession in IVI-C driver program ?

a ViSession is an identifier that corresponds to a session.
My instrument is a remote internet device . i can call VISA library to implement
communication between labwindows and my remote internet device.In this case , what is meaning of Visession
? It looks as if Visession does not have a relation to my IVI-C driver program.
if it has a relation to my driver, how to deal with the ViSession in IVI-C driver program?thank you

ViSession is necessary as part of a larger picture and fills an important role in good architecture. Intrument handles (stored as the ViSession type) are necessary for large projects, which may require commanding multiple instruments.
There is no function to call which can get or set a ViSession value, similar to the way other attributes are set with driver functions. The ViSession intrument handle is created and returned to the application when an instrument is initialized; it represents a connection with one particular instrument.
This allows users to have multiple instruments connected, which can be controlled programmatically with one application. Then, the application can quickly specify which instrument it would like to send a command, just by sending one instrument handle or another.
Yes, you could remove the ViSession as parameter in your functions, but it would cripple the big picture effectiveness of the driver. In place of the ViSession, you would have to send each function the Resource Name or Resource ID for the particular instrument as well as the Option String. So really, it is just more practical and better practice to use an instrument handle (stored as the ViSession type).
That being said, for certain functionality (adding two numbers), you absolutely do not need a ViSession instrument handle parameter. You will have to use your best judgement to determine where to include or exclude this parameter. I suggest using the ViSession instrument handle parameter with any function that communicates with an instrument.
Also, Ebalci is correct regarding the difference between ViSessions and channels. ViSessions are used to communicate with different instruments. To reference or read a specific channel from an instrument you will have to refer to the guidance in the manual for the instrument in question. There will likely be a command to select a specific channel when reading from the instrument. And for general guidance, I suggest reviewing another IVI driver, possibly for an instrument of the same class or type or maybe from the same family, if such a driver already exists.

How to deal with validation errors from DAO layer.

I have been pondering on how to deal with validation errors from DAO layer.
Lets say you have a DAO that can save a car object. A car has a year, make, model, vin and so on. During the save operation of this DAO, it validates the car attributes to see if they pass some business rules. If it does not it throws some validation exception that contains all the validation errors. These validation errors know nothing about jsf or my components it just knows what attributes on the object are invalid and why.
If I just want to show those errors at the top of the page that would be no problem I could just create some FacesMessage objects and add them to the FacesContext messages. But if the DAO layer is telling me that the make attribute is invalid it would be nice to map it to the make field on the screen. I am wondering if any of you have tackled this problem or have some ideas on how to tackle it?
Brian

Let it throw an exception with a self explaining message, then catch it and embed that message in a FacesMessage.
Or let it throw more specific exception types (InvalidCarMakeException extends CarDAOException and so on) and let JSF handle it with own FacesMessage message.

How to deal with generated programs in eCATT SAPGUI recording?

Hi experts and professionals,
I am trying to automate testing of our solutions by eCATTs and so far i have not been able to find solution for following problem.
Whole test scenario is very simple:
Check InfoProvider data (query, lookup, listcube,...)
Create DAP on InfoProvider
Archive InfoProvider
Check InfoProvider data (query, lookup, listcube,...) again
Compare results from step 1. and 4. (must match)
Reload archived data
Check InfoProvider data (query, lookup, listcube,...) again
Compare results from step 1. and 7. (must match)
As you can see, one of the required test steps is to check InfoProvider's data in transaction LISTCUBE.
But transaction LISTCUBE generates its program "name" every time it is executed and
I am struggling to find a way how to deal with these generated programs in eCATT SAPGUI recording.
Key is that solution must be generic and work for all SAP BW releases from 7.0 upwards
(having in mind that LISTCUBE can read NLS data from SAP BW 7.3 release).
Error description from eCATT log:
Screen Check Error: Expected Transaction: LISTCUBE, Actual Transaction: LISTCUBE.
Expected Program: GP0KOZE7EFIUBN10MZUFWX90W80, Actual Program: GPBP24INA6VV77SL0XKU5NA642O.
Expected Screen Number: 1000, Actual Screen Number: 1000.
There Is Probably an Error in SAPGUI recording.
ExceptionClass:CX_ECATT_APL_CAPTURE ExceptionId:SCREEN_CHECK_ERROR
RaisingClass:CL_APL_ECATT_LINE_INTERPRETER Include:CL_APL_ECATT_LINE_INTERPRETER=CM00J Line:443
Is there any way how to avoid program check in eCATT script?
Anything that would help me to find solution will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Igor

Dear Igor,
Your issue is caused by the "screen check" which eCATT processes here.
In General this screen check is a very usefull activity, since is ensures that only those screens are processed by automation, which initially where recorded. This should ensure as much as possible to invoke only intended activities.
Remember, that the driver of the screen flow is still the automated transaction program ( but not the test tool). So application logic decides which screen is send next.
Using screen check the test tool tries to ensure that menu items and buttons and other activities are only automated when the tool "believes" to work on the intended screen.
For generic test scripts and often in context of generated programs the screen check might hurt a bit.
To overcome this, one might try to make the check dynamic (as Sheetal suggests correctly).
If here the name of program cannot be determined for any reason, one can use another method and do following:
- Change the value of ProcessedScreen-Active to 'R'
This will disable/skip the screen-check for this ProcessedScreen.
Sure the solution includes a certain risk, since not checking the correct screen to appear might lead to automation of actions with not desired impact.
Maybe this can improve your solution.
Kind Regards
Jens

How to deal with images when detecting/resizing screen?

Hi there,
I am trying to learn how to detect screen resolution and
resize a flash movie to those dimensions. The one thing I'm
wondering first is, how to deal with images in the movie.
Do I need a variety of different movie sizes that I serve up
depending on the resolution, or is there some way of linking to
higher rez image that can be scaled down to fit the screen?
Thanks!

as far as I know this has always been a bit of an issue when
using
images inside a scaled movie. If you display a high res image
inside a
scaled down movie, flash can't "reoptimize" it so the image
looks
jagged. Of course the other way around is even worse..
Serving images based on the screen res could be possible if
you detect
it using javascript but could be a night mare to maintain and
test it...
I guess the questions I would ask myselkf are:
1. what is my audience? What resolution the majority of them
will have?
2. Is there anyway I can keep the image size fixed, and scale
to fit he
rest of the design?
3. How much time do I have to implement the customized
version?
It really depends on your project..but to answer to your
quuestion yes
you can detect.
http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jscreen.htm
and your flash will have to interpret and load images from
different
directories based on the var passed

How to deal with changing in Make-to-order style sales order?

Hi, SAP experts,
our situation and requirement:
my client use make-to-order style to create sales order, normally one item in sales order.
And this item stand for a dummy material, which include several components.
Limited with material purchase delivery schedule, sales orders need to be made as planned sales
orders to drive MRP to run out material requirement in ahead. Therefore, planned sales orders will
often changed as final assigned customer request.
1. Could be a possible to define components level to release sales order?
2. If components in sales orders is replaced or added, even whole sales order released, production order initialized, how to deal with it?
Scenario one: components in sales order added, modified in sales order, which will automatically create another production order for replacement action? if not, how to do?
Scenario two: components in sales order replaced, how this sales order requirement transfer to production order?
3. what about costing calculate for this changing?
Thanks for your kindly help in advanced,
Zhou Zhen

How to deal with deadlock on wwv_flow_data table when http server times out

There are some threads about a deadlock on the wwv_flow_data table. None of them contain a real explanation for this behaviour. In my case I will try to explain what I think is happening. Maybe it helps somebody who is hitting the same matter.
In my case with APEX 3.2.1 I am navigating from one page to another. Doing this APEX will lock the table wwv_flow_data. As soon as the other page is shown the lock will be released. But now this other page contains a bad performing query (standaard report region). After 5 minutes the http server (modplsql) will time out and present the message "No response from the application server" on the screen. In the meanwhile the query is still running on the database server and the lock stays on the wwv_flow_data table.
Normal user behaviour will be that the user will use the back button to return to the previous page and tries it again to navigate to the other page or
the user will try to refresh the page with the bad performing query.
And voila now you will have a deadlock on the wwv_flow_data table since a second session is trying to do the same thing while the first hasn't finished yet.
How to deal with it?
First of all. Have a good look at the bad performing query. Maybe you can improve it that it will succeed before the http server will timeout.
In my case the 11gr1 optimizer couldn't handle a subquery factoring clause in the best way. After changing it back to a classical inline query the problem was solved.
Secondly you could increase the timeout parameter of the http server. Although this not the best way.
Maybe it would better if APEX in a next version would release the lock on the table wwv_flow_date earlier or do a rollback just before the moment that the http server is timing out.

Mathieu Meeuwissen

Hello Shmoove,
I saw your reply here and you probably understand the problems the HTTP 100 response may cause.
I am trying to send image that was taken by getSnapshot. The problem is that the server respond with this HTTP 100 message.
I suspect that the reason that my server doesn't recognize the file that I'm sending from J2me is that the "server to client" response to the 100 message comes after the second message of (see what the TCPIP viewer shows down here):

How to deal with OpenCL grey out issue.

First off, I'm not native english speaker.
I have Nvidia GeForce 550 Ti video card, and its support OpenCL v1.1.
I'm also face a "random" OpenCL grey out issue like other people here, but I found the "issue" and how to deal with.
open a command windows (using WinKey + R, and type cmd <enter>)
type "cd C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)" <enter>
type "sniffer_gpu" <enter> -->> to check your GPU has OpenCL in Photoshop?
When GPU is in power-saving mode (core running in 51Mhz, using MSI Afterburner monitor), I running sniffer_gpu, got this report
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)>sniffer_gpu
Device: 0000000000328D68 has video RAM(MB): 1023
Vendor string:    NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer string: GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
Version string:   3.0.0
OpenGL version as determined by Extensionator...
OpenGL Version 3.0
Has NPOT support: TRUE
Has Framebuffer Object Extension support: TRUE
OpenGL ok
Return code: 1
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)>
No OpenCL support
Then, I switch GPU back to normal status (core running at 900Mhz)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)>sniffer_gpu
Device: 00000000001F8D68 has video RAM(MB): 1023
Vendor string:    NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer string: GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
Version string:   3.0.0
OpenGL version as determined by Extensionator...
OpenGL Version 3.0
Has NPOT support: TRUE
Has Framebuffer Object Extension support: TRUE
OpenGL ok
OpenCL ok, version=1.1 CUDA 4.2.1
Return code: 3
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)>
OpenCL support !!
Nowadays, most of new GPUs were support power-saving, but when sniffer_gpu running at GPU power-saving state, the OpenCL computing report maybe "time-out", cause the detector "guess" the GPU does not support OpenCL. This is why many people says "OpenCL" sometimes work, sometimes grey-out.
I hope this bug can be fixed, or at least people can understand how to "enable OpenCL everytime when you launch photoshop".
Bye.

How to deal with "Error 1001. The specified service already exists" when install a service using installer package?

Hi everybody,
I wrote a "Class Library" project which is a service using Visual Stodio 2008 recently, then tried to use a Visual Studio 2008
Setup Project to install it.
Here is what I did for the "Class Library":
1. Finish the program.cs, Service.cs
2. Add Installer
3. Change the serviceInstaller so that "StartType" to be Aotumatic
4. Change the ServiceProcessInstaller2 so that "Account" to be LocalSystem
5.
6. Click in F5 (Start Debugging)
Here is what I did for the Setup Project:
1. Add the exe file built from the "Class Library" project to the Application Folder
2. On the Custom Action Editor, add the exe file from 1 to Install and Commit
3. Change the property of the project so that "RemovePreviousVersion" to be true
4. Click on F6(Build Solution)
Then I tried to run the msi file from the built of the Setup Project. Because I modified the two projects serveral times, I uninstalled the Class Library using "Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs" before I reinstall. Two things I notived:
1. After unstall, the registry was not cleaned up about the installed program
2. After several rounds install/uninstall, I got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
My questions are:
1. How to cleanup the registry when uninstall a program?
2. How to deal with the "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"?
3. Did I do anytbing wrong with the "Class Library" or the "Setup Project"?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Simon, not a problem!
I spent some more time on this and here are few more notes:
it is called Major Upgrade, when you are installing new version of the product upon a previous one and
MSI supports 2 strategies:
Strategy 1. Install a new version and uninstall previous one. (Install a new version right upon previously installed version (file merging is performed based on dll version number) and the delete previously
installed files)
Strategy 2. Uninstall previous version and install a new one (Delete all previous files and install from scratch new files.)
From the first look it seems that 1st strategy is weird and buggy. But, remember, MSI is great because it's transactional!!! That means that if once some of the phases (Installation, Uninstallation, Rollback, Comit) fails, your machine
will be reverted to the previous state and it'll be still functional.
Let's consider both strategies:
Consider you have installed product_v1.msi and you want to install product_v2.msi.
Strategy 1
1. MSI engine copies files from Product_v1 directory to TEMP directory
2. MSI engine merges files based on the assembly version (between v1 and v2)
3. Once merging is completed successfully it removes files in TEMP (RemoveExistingProducts action triggers it) and you got product_v2 installed, otherwise if it fails MSI engine revert machine to V1 and copies previous files from TEMP.
Strategy 2
1. MSI engine tottaly removes all files from v1.
2. MSI engine installs v2 files and if something goes wrong you cannot revert back, because RemoveExistingProducts allready worked out and MSI doesn't have files to revert machine back
I recommend to everybody to use Strategy 1 and leverage MSI transaction functionality. And you can set this strategies by defining sequence of RemoveExistingProducts action. See more info
here. So, I think it's not even a bug in VS as I said in the upper post it is default recommened behaviour.
AND, you got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
because if we follow Strategy 1 MSI engine tries to install Windows Service on top of the existing service and OF COURSE it fails MSI engine (StopServices, DeleteServices actions are executed before actual
installation and they look at ServiceControl table). In order to stop service first and delete them you have to fill ServiceContol table of the MSI (and then StopServices, DeleteServices actions will recognize what to they have to stop
and delete), like this:
*clip*clip*clip*
' see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371634(v=vs.85).aspx for more info
' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while uninstalling
query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD_Service', 'Service name', '160', '', '1', '"
+ componentName + "')"
Set view = database.OpenView(query)
: CheckError
view.Execute : CheckError
' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while installing
query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD2_Service', 'Service name', '10', '', '1', '"
+ componentName + "')"
Set view = database.OpenView(query)
: CheckError
view.Execute : CheckError
*clip*clip*clip*
We can uninstall service first by following Strategy 2, but then we lose transactional support.
So, Simon did I encourage you to change your code a bit?:)
And, btw, if you don't want to change the strategy, please don't rely on SequenceID in MSI table, it can be change, you have to get the at the runtime.
Hope it will help to everybody!

How to deal with credentials for external applications using a Java Client/

Hi Guys,
This is the case. I am integrating an external application with an ADF Application. I have implemented some programmatic ViewObjects that are being filled up by a REST Java Client Wrapper. Everything is working fine but the issue is that the credentials the wrapper is using are hard coded inside the java class. I am thinking to ask for the credentials at the beginning of my taskflow and then store them somewhere and use them then to create my client wrapper (passing them in the constructor).
However, I don't know if my approach is good and I would like you to share your experiences or how to deal with this.
Regards

You can use Credential Store Framework to store the credentials securely in the weblogic server instead of hardcoding in the java class.
The Credential Store Framework:
- enables you to manage credentials securely
- provides an API for storage, retrieval, and maintenance of credentials in different back-end repositories
Check the documentation on CSF API -
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29505_01/core.1111/e10043/devcsf.htm
Major Steps -
1. Create a credential map and key in em console to store the password (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25054_01/core.1111/e10043/csfadmin.htm)
2. Use CSF API to retrieve the stored password
3. In jazn-data.xml give permissions to access CSF key and map

How to deal with payment of vendor to us (credit notes I guess)

Normally I use F07 for outgoing payments, it's linked to vendors, but how to deal with incoming payments of vendors?
We got paid two invoices(credit notes I guess) and I want to put them under the right vendor, but how do I do it?
I can't use F07 I think because I need to use positive amounts (for normal purchase invoices) and can't use negative amounts in this transaction. F08 is for ingoing payment but that session is linked to customers I thought..not for vendors?
How to deal with this kind ot transactions? What transaction can I use the best for payments like this
(we got paid an amount , no invoices yet, but I know the vendor).

whith F-02 it is possible I noticed.

Hi Kamlesh,
Thanks for your response.
Actually, In the "Process External Bank Statement" window, i see that there are few entries which is for the previous year and which has not been reconciled. I have never worked practically on BRS and hence, i am scared to make any changes in the clients database without being confident on what i am doing. I need to reconcile for one of their Bank a/c for the month of April '08. I have the copy of the statements for the month ending 31st Mar 08 and 30th Apr 08. The closing balances are as below:
31/03/08 - 2300000.00
30/04/08 - 3100000.00
Now my OB for Bank a/c for April '08 in SAP is 2300000.00 Dr.
When i go to External Bank Reconciliation - Selection Criteria Screen (Manual Reconciliation), here are the detail that i enter:
Last Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000 (Grayed out by the system)
Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000 (Entered by me)
End Date: 30/04/08 (Entered by me)
"Reconciliation Bank Statement" Screen opens up and shows the below balances in the screen:
Cleared Book Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000
Statement Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000
Difference: INR 3,800,000.00000
As per the Bank statement, i have found all the transactions listed out here for the month of Apr '08 but, i also found that the open transactions for the previous month from April '08 have been lying in "Process External Bank Statement" window.
Could you please help me solve my issue as to what needs to be done or could you also get me some links from where i can get few documents for processing External Bank Reconciliations?
That will be of a great help for me. I need steps as to what needs to be done first and then the next so that i can arrive at the correct closing balance for the month April '08.
Thanks in Advance....

Kaushal
