Workflow -Inconsistent behavior of wf_engine.setitemattrdate

I have customized HR self service workflow for termination. I am using wf_engine.setitemattrdate to set the value for all the custom attributes, sometimes the attributes do not come through in the notification, though they are derived; they work as expected other times; behavior is not consistent.
One more observation: When I terminate effective of the system date, the employee is terminated in the system, notification is sent, but details are not listed in the notification.
For past date and future date termination the details come through.
Has anybody encountered this kind of scenario, Is there a way to overcome these issues.

I can't remember when it happened but one of the versions along the way implemented functionality that required that the user enter a password to start the J2EE engine.
I asked OSS about it and they told me it was for security reasons. Well, obviously but it's my LOCAL machine.
Anyway, no more automatic starting. : (

Inconsistent behavior of user-role assignment

Hi, all.
i'm using EP 6.0 SP9 patch1.
i logged on as an Administrator user.
In the menu User Administration --> Roles --> Roles, i got the inconsistent behavior of user-role assignment.
1. Normal behavior(from user --> edit)
   i searched and selected one user and click the "Edit" link
   --> i can assign all the roles that i want.
2. Abnormal behavior(from role --> edit)
   i searched and selected one role first and click the "Edit" link
   --> some roles CANNOT be editted(even though i clicked the "Edit" link, it doesn't go to the edit screen). The roles that i couldn't edit are the SAP original roles like Administrator, content_admin_role, user_admin_role...
Could someone please give me any advice on this problem?
Thanks.

Hi Sejoon,
please open an OSS message.

Inconsistent Behavior from Bluetooth Audio

I've noticed very inconsistent behavior from my bluetooth headset and my iPhone 4. Work fine for voice calls, but doesn't work for a GPS Navigator or Voip. Works for Facetime most of the time, but sometimes won't. Anyone else having this kind of inconsistencies?

I was told by support that it is normal for bluetooth headsets to only work for voice calls on the iPhone 4. That really doesn't make sense to me, so I can't use a GPS Navigator with voice turn by turn directions with my bluetooth headset? My ancient 5 year old Motorola Razr would do that.

Inconsistent behavior with BC4J

With oracle 9iAS we are using a DataSource and Connection Pooling at the app module level is disabled via :
jbo.doConnectionPooling = true and jbo.maxpoolsize = 0
Also the jbo.am.minavailablesize and jbo.ampool.maxavailablesize are each at 20.
The inconsistent behavior is when i try accessing a certain page over and over again..
two different users ...two different sessions...both accessing the same page repeatedly...
After quite a few successful hits for each of the two users...
why would one of the users get the following message on the same page ...
while the other user is returned the page that was requested...
and a third user who logs in is also returned the same page
JBO-30003: The application pool (com.xyz.abc.abc.abc.abc.abc_AppModule.abc_AppModuleLocal) failed to checkout an application module due to the following exception:oracle.jbo.NoDefException: JBO-25002: Definition com.abc.abc.abc.abc.abc.abc.dal.abcView of type View Definition not found at oracle.jbo.mom.DefinitionManager.findDefinitionObject(DefinitionManager.java:311) at oracle.jbo.mom.DefinitionManager.findDefinitionObject(DefinitionManager.java:252) at oracle.jbo.server.MetaObjectManager.findMetaObject(MetaObjectManager.java:661) at oracle.jbo.server.ViewDefImpl.findDefObject(ViewDefImpl.java:283)

Can you run the server with -Djbo.debugoutput=console property set on the vm command line and send us the detail exception, if any, thrown on the server console.

Cross Dissolves - Inconsistent Behavior

Hello excellent forum members,
I have a question about the inconsistent behavior of cross dissolves -- specifically removing cross dissolves. I find that occasionally (maybe 1 in 5 times) when I remove a dissolve between two photos, the appropriate time is not added back to the shot. For instance, if I remove a 20 frame dissolve, 10 frames should be added back to each of the two shots. Usually, that IS the case (i.e. the frames are added back to the photo as expected), but, occasionally it's not. Usually the correct time is added back to one photo, but not to the other. I think this is just an odd bug -- I'm wondering if others have experienced it, too. (It's also not a big deal to work around -- you just have to keep your eye on the shots in question when you're removing a dissolve and make sure you note whether or not the right time has been restored to the shot.)
Thank you for your input...
Diana

Actually, I have never had that much trouble with deleting a transition, But I, too, have used the delete instead of the revert option in the pst.
However, I have used the retore option for other reasons and it works perfectly...unless you are reverting a clip that has effects and titles added before hand.
That may cause you to do a bit more work and delete more than just the transition.

Partition elimination inconsistent behavior

Hello.
When we query a partitioned table and partition-aligned indexes are employed, seeks are performed in two steps: If the partition column is used as a predicate, the index is used to eliminate partitions assigned to ranges the predicate values don't fall in.
Then it proceeds to perform serial scans/seeks in any remaining partitions.
Now suppose I have a table partitioned on a varchar(10) column. Ranges are defined for values '230' and '281'. In SQL Server 2012 SP1,
partition elimination won't happen unless i explicitly convert the predicate value to varchar(10).
NOTE: I'd like to refrain from posting the scripts to generate the entire data structure because they are sensitive.
Basically the original objects are like the ones below:
CREATE TABLE TEST
(PARTITION_COLUMN VARCHAR(10),
SOME_ID INT)
GO
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX IDX_TEST (PARTITION_COLUMN, SOME_ID) ON PARTITION_SCHEME(PARTITION_COLUMN)
GO
CREATE VIEW VW_TEST AS
SELECT SOME_ID, PARTITION_COLUMN
FROM TEST
WHERE SOME_ID = 9
GO
Partition scheme has 3 filegroups to cover the ranges '230' and '281' in the partition function. The partition function expects a varchar parameter.
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [RANGE_PROJETOS](varchar(10)) AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES (N'230', N'281')
GO
When I use a literal varchar value:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM VW_TEST
WHERE PARTITION_COLUMN = '234'
Seek Keys[1] tell us there is no partition elimination, since its filter implies the selection of all partitions. If I later run this query, the "Actual partition count" value will be 3.
If I either use a variable or explicitly convert the literal value to varchar(10), partition elimination will be done:
However, the plan behavior is still inconsistent. The "RangePartitionNew" function is used when the literal value isn't known at compile time, which is acceptable for the query to the left, in the image above, because a variable is being used,
but not for the query to the right. What makes the latter all the more strange is the fact that it does an implicit conversion to varchar(10) even though it is already explicitly converted to the very same data type!!

This problem occurs even when querying the table directly instead of the view.
SELECT * FROM TB_RESULTADO
WHERE ID_PROJETO_EXTERNO = '234'
SELECT * FROM TB_RESULTADO
WHERE ID_PROJETO_EXTERNO = CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), '234')
Can you verify? I see the expected actual partition count of 1 with the repro below under SQL 2012 SP2. To add on to Paul' blog, simply following best practices as to parameterize queries with matching data types will avoid the issue with
auto parmeterization.
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [PARTITION_FUNCTION](varchar(10))
AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES (N'230', N'281');
CREATE PARTITION SCHEME PARTITION_SCHEME
AS PARTITION PARTITION_FUNCTION ALL TO ([PRIMARY])
CREATE TABLE TEST(
PARTITION_COLUMN VARCHAR(10),
SOME_ID INT);
GO
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX IDX_TEST ON TEST(PARTITION_COLUMN, SOME_ID) ON PARTITION_SCHEME(PARTITION_COLUMN)
GO
CREATE VIEW VW_TEST AS
SELECT SOME_ID, PARTITION_COLUMN
FROM dbo.TEST
WHERE SOME_ID = 9
GO
SET STATISTICS IO ON
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM VW_TEST
WHERE PARTITION_COLUMN = CAST('234' AS varchar(10));
GO

Dan,
You have to leave the literal value predicate as it is (without any conversions) to reproduce the aforementioned situation.

Pop-ups inconsistant behavior on PCs

I recently made a website in Dreamweaver MX 2004 for an
artist and the pop-ups that I created via the behaviors panel are
not working properly some of the time on PC’s. All of my
pages are XHTML and passed HTML validation at validator.w3.org.
Please look at this page as an example:
http://www.karenlfield.com/maui.html
Obviously when you click on any of the six medium-sized
images, the pop-up should open in a new browser over the upper left
corner of the main page window, on mousedown as I specified. The
problem is that on some of the PCs, some of the time, the pop-up
html pages of the large images open up behind the main window and
the viewers never see the pop-up pages and keep on clicking to no
avail. I tested my site on many different machines at different
locations. On one occasion, I tested on six PCs in the same office.
The pop-ups worked perfectly on five of the machines, but the
performance on the sixth machine was inconsistent at best. This is
in Internet Explorer both 6 and 7. I don’t see any pattern.
I’ve double-clicked, single-clicked, you name it. Does anyone
have a solution to this dilemma?? Thanks, D North

In the pop-up window if you use
<body onLoad="self.focus();">
that should bring the focus to the pop-up window when it
loads and should
keep it above the other window(s) till the user clicks on any
other
window.Also in your pop-up links, say for example
<a href="javascript:;"
onmousedown="MM_openBrWindow('NeonPalms.html','NeonPalms','width=620,height=497')"><img
src="images/Maui_cm.jpg" alt="Neon Palms" width="218"
height="160"
border="0" /></a>
right now, if I disable javascript nothing will happen when I
click on an
image.
a better method maybe to use something like this
<a href="NeonPalms.html" target="_blank"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('NeonPalms.html','NeonPalms','width=620,height=497');
return false;"><img src="images/Maui_cm.jpg" alt="Neon
Palms" width="218"
height="160" border="0" /></a>
This way if javascript is disabled, a new window will open.
It won't have
the specified size, but it'll atleast work.
I like the website and your other work.

Inconsistent behavior importing OIM 9.1.0.2 BP20 to OIA 11gR1 - 11.1.1.5

We are building our OIM/OIA integration - preferred method. We are Weblogic 10.3.5.0 -- OIA 11gR1 - 11.1.1.5 -- OIM 9.1.0.2 BP20 - Based on experience and documentation, I think perhaps the 11g to 11g integration is the truly preferred method.
During testing we found that while the OIM resource had > 600 entitlements associated, only two came over to OIA upon policy import. No errors were thrown. Is there a limitation to the number of attributes that can be imported to OIA?
We will be defining roles in OIA and importing them to OIM, and are concerned about how OIA will respond to attributes defined in the OIA app prior to OIM forms having knowledge of them - can we define attributes if they have not yet been defined on a form in OIM?
What behavior should we be expecting?

Inconsistent behavior of "where" filter command in remote powershell session

I've got a simple powershell script I've written to do a gpo backup (backup-gpo) to a remote file share, and then I launch a remote powershell session with "invoke-command" where I zip up the results of the gpo backup, then delete the gpo
backups once the files are safely zipped.
What I'm seeing, and I've never seen before, is very inconsistent results in the file filtering statements. I use the following line twice in my code to find the files written by the GPO backup:
Get-ChildItem -Force | ? {($_.lastwritetime.date -eq (Get-Date).date) -and ($_.name -notlike "*.zip")}
The first time it finds the files to zip, the second time it finds the files to delete. It's a copy/paste, so it's the exact same code.
The weirdness that happens is some nights, it works fine, and both filters match what they should. The GPO backup results are found, zipped, and then deleted. Other nights, the first filter will match all old *.zip files (the exact
opposite of the filter), and zip them up - then the "delete" filter, which is the exact same code, will match correctly and delete the GPO backup results that should have been zipped but weren't.
Last night the first filter matched correctly, and then the second filter matched the date portion of the filter, ignored the *.zip portion, and deleted everything in the target folder from that day.
Anyone seen anything like this?

Sender SOAP Adapter, inconsistent behavior

Hi,
We are using XI 3.0 SP17. We have noticed some inconsitent behavior with the sender SOAP adapter:
When sending a valid SOAP message to the adapter, it will reply with:
<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><SOAP:Header/><SOAP:Body/></SOAP:Envelope>
To me this seems errornous, becuase it is missing "<?xml version='1.0'?>" in the beginning, and thus is not valid XML. This leads to errors on the Client that is sending messages to the Sender SOAP adapter.
When sending an errornous SOAP message from the client to the XI Sender SOAP adapter, the error message does include the "<?xml version='1.0'?>" + the corresponding error message, so the behavior seems inconsitent and errournous.
Can someone tell me how the get the Sender SOAP Adapter to include "<?xml version='1.0'?>" in the reply for valid SOAP messages?
Thanks for any help on this subject!
-Hans
PS: Here is an example of an error message from the Sender SOAP adapter, that does include the xml header:

Hi,
"Do not use SOAP Envelope" is not really an option for us.
From help.sap.com:
If the indicator is set, the adapter expects a message without a SOAP envelope.
If you have set the indicator, you must also enter nosoap=true in the URL.
The adapter then puts the whole message in the XI payloads
So this also requires heavy changes to the client side. It would almost make more sense to use the plain HTTP adapter in that case..

Sort order inconsistent behavior

There seems to be inconsistent behaviour when defining a default sort order sequence.
Everything works as expected when the display sequence and the order in which the columns are defined in the query are the same but as soon as the display sequence is changed the default sort order doesn't work for the second column in the order sequence.
I have put up an example at [apex.com|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=36885:1]
In report EMP the display sequence and query sequence are the same and the default sort on "Job" and "Hiredate" is correct working. Even when the user sorts on "Manager".
The sort order sequence then becomes "Manager", "Job" and "Hiredate". As also descripted in the following Sorting on multiple columns
And exactly the behaviour we are looking for.
Report EMP2 is a copy of EMP with the only difference the order in which the columns are displayed
Now the default sort order doesn't work as expected. The report is first ordered on "Job" but then on "Employee" instate of "Hiredate" as is defined. Interestingly "Employee" is the second column in the query.
It seems that instate of the query_column_id the column_display_sequence is used in the order by. At least for the second column in the defined sort order sequence.
This may also explain the behaviour mentioned with [derived columns and sort sequence|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1006429&#1006429]
The display sequence in report EMP2 is where the wizard came up with.
Nicolette

Stew
At the report attributes you can define the sort sequence of a column. When you do that initialy the report is sorted as you defined it. So in my example that is first by "Job"and within "Job" by "Hiredate". When the user sort explicit on an other column this column is put before the columns you have defined.
So when the user clicks on "Manager" the sort order becomes "Manager", "Job", "Hiredate". When the user then sort on "Employee" the sort order becomes "Employee", "Job" an "Hiredate".
This works when the order in which the columns appear in your query are the same as the order in which they are displayed.
BUT as soon as the display order changes the sort sequence doesn't work anymore. Even worse is that also the initial sort sequence doesn't work for the second column any more. (I haven't tested for three or more columns)
In the example I have put on apex.com in the second report the sort sequence of the report attributes is the same as in the first report. But the initial sort order that is actually done is on "Job" and "Employee" instate of "Job" and "Hiredate". Where "Hiredate" is the second column in the display sequence. But "Employee" is the second column in the query.
So to really make use of the sort sequence you have to keep your display sequence equal to the order in witch they appear in the query. This isn't really practical.

BEST_EFFORT_QUERY Timeout - inconsistent behavior

I'm seeing inconsistent results with the Best Effort Query/Timeout combination using the Jena Adaptor. Sometimes it appears that the timeout is working exactly as expected, after X amount of time (5 seconds in our case), the query returns with a subset of the specified data. Other times, it seems that the query ignores the fact that a timeout has been specified and it churns much longer than I would expect. Is there some reason for this that I'm missing?

External Editor Inconsistent Behavior

PSE is my external editor. Fairly often (maybe 20% of the time) after editing is complete and I close the file, it will not directly update my iPhoto file. Instead, I have to save the edited image as PS, PNG, or TIFF outside of iPhoto, then import into iPhoto. The extra steps involved are real time-wasters if I am working with a lot of images. Any ideas on where the problem lies and Is there a fix?
Russ

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Dv6-3050us touchpad / touchbutton issues? Inconsistent behavior touching vs. pressing the buttons.

Okay, so here's the deal:
The DV6-3050US has an integrated touch device. That is to say, both the typical touch pad AND the left/right buttons are touch-sensitive. However, they do not exhibit the expected behavior...
Specifically, the right "touch button" seems slightly weird.
Both button are touch sensitive. And both are also "clickable," IE, if you press down on them, they behave approximately as expected for a usual "button."
Thw problem arises in a couple areas.
Firstly, since the buttons are touch sensitive, any motinon on them is considered to be "touchpad motion," and the cursor moves, regardless of context. So, the cursor moves when dragging your finger across the button, but it also moves when you're just trying to click the physical "push button." This is an issue needing resolution because it often means that befoer you push hard enough to register a click, your finger has moved, thus the cursor has moved, thus it is sometimes no longer over the object you were tryign to click on. It is also sometimes over a completely different object you never meant to click on.
This brings us to the second issue. The first issue might not be as much of an issue if the right "touch button" also functioned as a "touch right-click," but it seems not to (rather, it ALSO functinos as a left-click). That is to say, if you tap/touch the left mouse button (without using the "physical click" by pressing even harder) it functions as a left click. This is probably a function of the fact that the ENTIRE pad (including the buttons) works like a left mouse click (as most touch pads can be set up to do, and generally are by default). The problem is, I'd LIKE IT if the right touch button acted as a "right click" when touched / tapped, rather than as the more generic pad-wide "touch/tap left click." That way, I could just tap the pad in the section that's supposed to be the "right mouse button" and it would act like a right mouse button / contextual click.
Is there a way to set this thing up so that things function AS EXPECTED? Is it an HP issue? Is it a Windows 7 issue? Is it a driver issue?
So, yeah, I'd like it to be that things work consistently.
Currently:
Entire "touch surface" functions as mouse cursor.
Touch "left mouse button" functions as left mouse click when touching/tapping and pressing
Touch "right mouse button" functions as left mouse click when touching/tapping, but as right mouse button when pressing.
Ideally:
Entire touch surface functions as mouse cursor.
Touch "left mouse button" functions as left mouse click when touching/tapping and pressing
Touch "right mouse button" functions as right mouse click when touching/tapping and pressing.
If it's not possible to get touching/tapping in the "left/right mouse button" sections of the touch surface to be consistent with the pressing/clicking action, then is it possible to disable ONLY that portion of the touch surface assigned to the "left/right mous button" sections of the pad, but leave the upper "touch pad" sectino sensitive to touch? That way, when pressing the "physical" left right mouse buttons, the cursor won't move during the process of pressing the buttons?
Hope this all is clear enough and makes sense?
Any suggestions?
I know the driver allows for defining areas of vertical / horizontal scrolling areas of the pad. But does it allow for changing or disabling the sections assigned to the "buttons"?
Best,

Do you have the latest touchpad software installed?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=4230544&
There are some settings, they can be found in control panel (icon view) > Mouse, there should be a tab for the touchpad.

DatagramSocket.receive() and Thread.interrupt() - Inconsistent behavior

Hi,
I currently have an application that does in a seperate Thread receive udp packets in a loop around a Datagramsocket.receive(). Whenever a state change should occur, the thread is being interrupted by Thread.interrupt() in order to exit the DatagramSocket.receive().
That works nicely on the solaris version of the jvm (1.5.0-11) on x86 and sparc but it does not work on linux intel (i386 and amd64). There the receive simply ignores the interrupt.
What is the intended behavior ?
Do I have to move to timeOuts on each receive (which hinders fast state changes as timeouts have to occur and the loop has to be timeouted very often in order to be fast).
Little tests say: (java 1.5)
Linux 2.6.18 (32/64 Bit) : no interrupt
FreeBsd (32/64 Bit): interrupt works
Solaris 10 (sparc/64x86): interrupt works
MacOs 10.4: no interrupt
On Linux 2.6.18, java 1.4 - interrupt works.
At least a consistent behavior is missing!

Here is the code:
SubThread.java:

public class SubThread extends Thread {
     public DatagramSocket ds;

     public SubThread() {

          try {
               ds = new DatagramSocket();
          } catch (Exception E) {
               System.out.println("new DS failed: "+E.getMessage());
               System.exit(-1);
     public void run() {
          byte[] buf = new byte[1000];
          DatagramPacket p = new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length);
          System.out.println("Started subThread !");
          while (!quit) {
               try {
                    ds.setSoTimeout(10000); // 10 Seconds
                    ds.receive(p);
               } catch (SocketTimeoutException E) {
                    System.out.println("ST: Hit timeout !");
               } catch (InterruptedIOException E) {
                    System.out.println("ST: Interrupted IO Works !: "+E.getMessage());
                    quit=true;
               } catch (Exception E) {
                    System.out.println("ST: Exception: "+E.getMessage());
          System.out.println("Ended subThread !");
}Test.java:
package test;
public class Test {
     static Integer a = 1;
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          SubThread st = new SubThread();
          st.start();
          try {
               synchronized (a) {
                    System.out.println("Starting wait (1s) !");
                    a.wait(1000);
                    System.out.println("Sending interrupt()");
                    st.interrupt();
                    a.wait(1000);
                    if (!st.quit) {
                         System.out.println("As interrupts do not work, terminating by timeout !");
                         st.quit=true;
                         System.out.println("Waiting for end!");
                    } else
                         System.out.println("Ending !");
          } catch (Exception E) {
               System.out.println("Exception: "+E.getMessage());
}

What is the intended behavior ?The intended behaviour is defined in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html#interrupt()
' If this thread is blocked in an I/O operation upon an interruptible channel then the channel will be closed, the thread's interrupt status will be set, and the thread will receive a ClosedByInterruptException.'
DatagramSocket not being an InterruptibleChannel, this piece doesn't apply. None of the other pieces apply either, so the fallback applies:
' If none of the previous conditions hold then this thread's interrupt status will be set.'
If you're getting an interrupted read() on one platform, that's a bonus, but it's not the defined behaviour.
Use a DatagramSocket derived from DatagramChannel.open().socket() and it should work on all platforms.
