[Zen Micro] Road map for firmware 1.x / end of life

Hi all,
does anyone (hint, hint, moderators) know what's the supposed road map for the Micro firmwares. Ok, I know that Creative doesn't comment on the functionalities and releases .
But my essential question is this:
<FONT color=#cc0000>Is the firmware .x (driver-based, with MediaSource support) end of life, or will it continue to be developed? Will all new, generic features of the 2.x (PlayForSure...) line also be integrated in a continuing .x line of firmware? Or not?
I found out in <A target=_blank href="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=9892">this thread about firmware 2.x[/url] that the new 2.x beta firmware has new features, not being promoted on the download site (or forum). For the moment, I prefer MediaSource over WMP to manage my collection, and for that reason I want to stick with .x firmware.
<A target=_blank href="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=9892">[/url]I really expect a customer-oriented company (and I recently filled in a Creative survey on quality of support services after getting an invitation email, so they do suggest they care) to share a roadmap - even for just some months - with their users.
Thanks.

Creative very rarely share this kind of information, so I think it unlikely they will.

Road map for HRMS consultant for new oracle guy, please help

road map for Oracle HRMS consultant for new oracle guy, please help

Hi,
If you go through the Oracle sites you will come to know that HRMS Suite has various modules like Core HR, SSHR, Performance Management, Learning Management, iRecruitment, Compensation workbench, Absence Management, Payroll, Advanced Benefits etc.
You will have to start with understanding the Core HR concepts which is the base of the entire HRMS suite where you define the core structures like Organizations, Job, Position, Grade, Costing, Hierarchies, Employee data etc and which forms the base of the other modules.
Post you are done with Core HR you can start understanding the Self Service functionality and Approval Management Engine.
If you are clear with these two modules, then you can pick any other module as per your Job requirement demands.
You can do this all if you have an instance to access where you can do hands-on. In absence of which learning will be not be easy. On apps2fusion site which I have already mentioned you can view the training calendar and check for any relevant courses if you want to under go training as the quality of training is very good.
Training is not a mandate and you can learn it without training also if you have the dedication and time by understand each and every action which you are performing in application and the impact of it.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Zen Micro constantly FREEZES during FIRMWARE UPGRADE - totally bricked!

Hey,
It's just like it says. My Zen Micro currently has no firmware besides the recovery OS because I chose "reload firmware."? I try to upgrade to both versions of the Zen Micro firmware (.x and 2.x) and as soon as my computer gets started and the Zen Micro has the little "data exchange" icon on there, the computer and Zen Micro hang. The progress bar gets nowhere and it's the Micro that's frozen, not the computer or the firmware upgrade program (I'm a software engineer, I know if it's the program freezing, and it is NOT).
How in blazes is this happening? How can I stop my Micro from freezing? It's all so confusing!
By the way, stats about the PC used:
OS: Windows XP Sp2
Windows Media Player 0 installed
USB 2.0 ports

I have exactly the same issue. Just tried to run the v.x to v2.x firmware upgrade and its been in recovery mode ever since. I tried to run the clean up / format / reload firmware option but it didn't work it just keeps coming back to the recovery mode. Anyone know how to fix this ? I was due to be getting on a 20 hour flight with this one as my company in half a days time so anyone with any good suggestions feel free to tell me ASAP!
ThanksSteve

What to do if new firmware for zen micro is not for you

Ok its pretty simple, takes long but it should work (never been tested)
Uninstall the new firmware (keep all your songs saved onto PC music library)Install the cd you were given with the zen micro.You'll have all your songs on your pc library ( i would reccomend clearing out you zen micro music library and just putting the pc music library songs on your zen micro from there) so just transfer all the files you want onto the zen micro and it should be running fine.please reply and tell me what happens.Zenmastertml

Hi Prakash,
As per GAAP - FI general accepting account principal,
Balance is define as on date,
while transaction/P&L can define for perticular period date range.
Here, I guess you want to see balance as on 30.06.2011
and transaction for 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011.
Am i right?
FYI, If you use 0BALANCE for any period, let say 01.06.2011 - 30.06.2011
then it will show balance for last day 30.06.2011
because its aggregation is SUM, LAST Value on time characteristics.
More detail on requirement will help us to provide you better solution.

Ashish

Zen: Micro....Firmware Problem, Stuck in Recovery m

I got my Zen Micro in September and I have never had a problem with it until now. I connected it to my computer to charge up this morning since the battery was running low. Then this afternoon when I got home, I turned it on and it quickly flashed a screen saying "Firmware Problem" and then it goes straight to Recovery Mode. It will not exit Recovery Mode. I have tried redoing the Firmware, but it will not allow me to.
This is the first problem I have had with the player and I have never done anything with it except upload music and play music....no trying to download new applications or software, etc. It has even been quite a while since I have put any new/took any old music off the player.
Has any one else had this problem? Can someone offer some advice? Also...would this problem qualify under the warranty for the player?Thanks!

[size="6">It Works
!!! Thanks so much for your assistance. After reading all the replies and related messages I finally gave up everything and did a search for everything that had to do with Zen Xtra and deleted it.....deleted it from Windows Device Manager, Windows Media Player, Real Player, Audible Manager, all files that had "Zen" in it....gone. I emptied my recycle bin, unpluged the player, rebooted my computer, let Windows find a driver for a "portable device" (I had already rolled Windows Media Player AND the WMP Runtime to version 0 prior to posting to the forum), downloaded the most current driver and firmware for the Zen Xtra, installed them and it works!?The really sad thing is, all this time (and yes, my time is worth something), aggrivation and stress could have been avoided had Creative seen fit to make one little note on their web site where the download is. All they would have to do is put a note in the description that you *must* have Windows Media Player version 0, that it will not work with version . I'm really disappointed in the Creative support...that really sucks. But I really do want to thank you for your assistance. You saved me from denting my wall with this thing and saved me from having to replace it. Thanks,Trax

Zen Micro - Player not connected - Firmware problem - no FAQ hel

Hi!
My Zen Micro made problems by turning on but anyway it started sometimes to the mainmenu where I could hear music. So I wanted to upgrade the firmware. By copying new firmware in the past there were no problems. For sure I cleaned the Micro up. I formatted it and wanted to upgrade the firmware...
Now it starts with the screen "firmware problem" to the recovery menu and my firmare is now "v0.0.65". When I cable it to the PC via USB it gets found as a portabel device with the correct name "Creative Zen Micro". And the screen turns from the recovery mode to the screen when the Zen Micro is connected to the PC. So there is the paper in the middle with two arrows around. And on the top the caption is again "recovery mode". When I touch the up and down touchscreen the paper and the arrows disappear, but the caption remains.
But by starting the firmare there is the message that the player was not found. And WMP can't find it with the synchronization mode...and so on. Nothing can find it except the working place. When opening the "Creative Zen Micro" menu ich see "Storage Media" with 20MB. I can format it but nothing changes.
When I'm watching the specifications of the "Creative Zen Micro" the firmare version is "2.2.02_0.00.65".
I reinstalled all creative software (including the registry entrys !) and rolled back WMP.
But nothing goes right. Every FAQ which I followed doesn't repair my Zen Micro
I also used a laptop and this didn't help too.
I invested the hole day the day before yesterday, but I stuck.
I hope somebody can help me.

-Windows Media Player COMPLETELY uninstalled
-in Device Manager ALL USB-Controllers uninstalled (don't worry about non-controlling your mouse or keyboard -> will install themselves after uninstalling or after restart)
-restart
-and TSCHAKAAA...Player was found and firmware could be installed (i installed for the first time again the 2.2 version. message was "installation failing" but it worked...anyway i reinstalled version . and the message was 'yeah. it works')
-Player works!
I hope this report can help some people.

Weird... this does not happen to mine..... maybe you should try reloading the firmware.... if not might be a player with your player and you should call support.

Zen Micro undetected, after PlaysForSure Firmware upgrade! *USB 2.0 er

Half way through the PFS?firmware installation, a Found new Hardware window pop up, prompt me to install software for USB 2.0 device. I carried on to install hardware, but it just can't find the suitable software. After I close the pop up, the upgrade installation went dead. The next time i plug my zen micro, the pc can't detect it! The only thing workable is the removable disk. I can't reinstall the software becos the pc cannot detect the zen micro (i tried all usb ports)?Some other info:-Everytime i plug my zen micro in, the Found new Hardware window will pop up, prompt me to install software for USB 2.0 device. Before u tell me it's my chipset problem, i have no problem with other devices that use usb 2.0, and this problem occurs ONLY after i tried installing the firmware, ONLY on zen micro. My zen micro was working PERFECTLY fine before this. -My?zen micro's system information states that the firmware is 2.2.02, though i mentioned earlier that the installation went dead. I am pretty sure this undetection problem is cause by the firmware upgrade. I hope all zen micro users who read this post will stop their intention to upgrade to this firmware, until a solution arri'ves. Hope i can have some "real" help on this. Any user from this forum who has the same problem, can post to share. Anyone who are able to solve this, pls post too, much appreciated.

Dear Creative!
You screwed the upgrade program a bit, because it is works ONLY IN ENGLISH version on Windows XP. Shame! You are pushing me into the sea of warez...

Zen Micro 1.11.01 firmware prob

I updated the firmware on my Zen Micro from .02 to ..0 the other day, and since the upgrade, I have actually been getting MORE battery drain when the player is not in use. And when I say more battery drain, I mean it is full one day, then less than 2 days later, the batter is so dead that the player won't turn on. In fact, my player was plugged in to my computer last night to charge, and the battery actually drained down to about a bar from full charge overnight. My player isn't that old.... less than 6 months, it isn't subjected to any harsh conditions (it usually just sits in my dorm room), and I always charge through my computer, so it isn't the problem with the wall charger.
PLEASE HELP!

Yes it will delete all of your music on your player. It's basically formatting your player, but it deletes the FW on your player, and this is why you are going to have to connect it to your computer right after you select that option.

Cannot Edit Playlists in Zen Micro Media Player for Zen Micro on Windows Vista 32

When I click on the icon for my Zen I do not get a folder list - just a music library. As a result I cannot edit any playlists I have created as there is no icon for it. Please could anybody advise me? Many thanks.

The Media Explorer for the zen micro is not compatiable for Vista I have the same problem.

Does Zen Micro Explorer esit for Micro Pho

i really don't like the software thatcame with my Micro Photo. Will the explorer software work with the Micro Photo?

I was able to answer my own question, and confirmed what one other person in this forum had found out: the charger for the Zen Micro does in fact work for the Zen V Plus. Creative acknowledges this as well--in the current ads on their website, they are selling Zen Micro chargers for $9.99, and a footnote says that they work with the Zen V Plus, Zen MicroPhoto, and Zen Neeon.

Zen Micro 1.02.05 Firmware sluggi

Hi guys,
I updated the firmware on my Zen Micro a few days ago to .02.05 from the original one I got (forgot the version number) and scrolling, going through menu's, changing volume, fast forwarding, rewinding tracks seems to be a bit sluggish compared to the previous one. Music plays fine, and everything works perfect but the sluggishness is a little annoying. Anyone else with this firmware having the same problems?

Still using .0.03 here, was that your original? Im not intending to upgrade, since I read about malfunctions with other versions quite often. Good luck, I think you can revert from .02.05 if necessary. Enter "firmware upgrades into the search bar at the top of the message listing page and see what you get.

Road map for Oracle application server

I assume Oracle will at some point merge both it's Application Server, and the acquired BEA WebLogic Server with WebLogic being the main code source. Does anyone know of such a roadmap or direction of statement that I can review (diagram or wording)?
Thanks.

Oracle after a whole bunch of acquisitions and more recently after the BEA acquisition, is now on somewhat synthesis mode for the range of products they now have. Generally they call for three tracks for products;
- strategic products:
the ones that Oracle envisions to keep and promote for long-term future needs; this period is greater than 9 years;
- continue and converge track products:
which includes those which will be continued for next 9 years (from this past summer) or so. newer versions of these products will be released and new features will be enhanced, products will be supported for next 9 yrs; but beyond 9years, the products will effectively be merged into one strategic offering.
- those which are to be discontinued/replaced by some other products;
so for example, for web 2.0 or enterprise suites/user interaction, Oracle defines WebCenter as its strategic product, instead of Oracle Portal which is on a continue and converge track now. or for application server, WebLogic Server is the strategic product. etc. whereas OAS is on continue and converge track.
about each product type/technology, Oracle has new SODs (statement of direction) which defines the products and expected support offerings. please see this link.

hope that helps!
