When the fs is fired, it returns the data, but all of the data is highlighted so when the user starts typing they overwrite the data that was just returned. I know they could just hit the right arrow key or click their mouse at the end, but they don't do that half of the time. I also know they could use ctrl-z or undo when they do this, but they don't do that either. It would just be nice if they could fire the fs and when the data is returned, the cursor would be at the end of the data.\n\nAny thoughts?\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

I have the correct data with me.\n\nBut the problem arises while printing the data in the form as a PARAGRAPH.\n\nLike smartforms, how can we create a paragraph for texts in adobe form?\n\nAnd how shall I display data of a nested table in one paragraph.\n\nCan anybody please answer this query.\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in.

Afterwards you will be able to put the smartforms-style right into the new node and the output match the same style as you got in Smartforms.\n\nMake sure, that you got enough space horizontal, that the tabulators are printed in the same wise.\n\nHere are two links to the official Sites:\n\nThis one explains, how to use.\n\nInserting a Text - SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe - SAP Library\n\nAnd that one, what is supported by Adobe ( But you can refere to that from the first link )\n\nEntering Text Module Properties - SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe - SAP Library\n\nRegards\n\nFlorian\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHi Florian,\n\nThanks for the information. But text modules are used are used for constant text right? But in my requirement, the text is dynamic which comes from sap. It may be any text and the length us also dynamic, as it's the notification long text.\n\nCan you please let me know if I can still use the text module option?\n\nNo, you just can put any text in. Can be a constant, as well as a dynamic.\n\nI want to write an article about it, but hey, I give you a short instruction.\n\nYou got an include text, such as VBBK 0001 (-->Customer clue I think)\n\nTo get this dynamic text right in your form with the same formatting options, you used right there, you have to create a smartstyle with all needed options. Important is, that you name formats and everything similar.\n\nAfter doing that, you use it like mentioned above and you just have to modify your interface, that you put your text into that context.\n\nFor that, you have to create a table type tline_tab and here we go.\n\nI hope, that explaination help you. In other case you have to wait a few days, till I can grab some time to create the blogpost with screenshots and stuff in.\n\nRegards\n\nFlorian\n\nFlorian, can you please give me brief overview on how can I use the Dynamic text option in Adobe form?\n\nOr for that matter, I am still confused about how to use the text module to print my notification long text, which is dynamic.\n\nI have prepared my Longtext table in SE38 driver program.\n\nShould I prepare and fill it in the Context of the adobe form, instead of the driver program?\n\nNo, it is recommended by SAP, that you fill the text in the driver program. I'm not really sure, what point you reached right now.\n\nYou read your text dynamic in the driver program with the Function read_text i suggest.\n\nYou have created a smartstyles wich hits the options from the text as mentioned before?\n\nYou throw your text in the interface and created a textvariable in the interface --> not the given from the driver program, you have to right click on the right side, of your interface, you know, where you can activate the transported variables\n\nNow you got the options, that you have to link your text there. In this example, text zzmark_tdname is linked, but you also got the option right here, that you can link a dynamic text.\n\nUnfortunately i just found pictures in german, because I do not got a system available atm. But I think, this is the issue you facing and an english system looks very similar in the marked passages.\n\nRegards\n\nFlorian\n\nPS: The pictures are from that website Textbausteine in Adobe Forms – SAP-Wiki\n\nJust in case somebody want to read that in german.\n\nThanks Florian for such a detailed explanation. I have got the option to insert Dynamic text in my Adobe form. Also I will populate the text field in the driver program.\n\nIn the mean time, can you please also tell me, when the text from SAP is getting displayed on the form, the box size remains fixed according to the number of lines of text coming from SAP.\n\nIf I want to add more text, the box doesn't get increased in size, instead a scroll bar appears on the box.\n\nI have wrapped the textbox in a subform, which is flowed.\n\nThat means, you develop a interactive form atm?\n\nTo increase the size, you need to put your text into the designview, I think your settings are correct. Subform has to be flowed, and the text itself also has to be flowed. It just shows a very small line in the designer, but that is normal.\n\nMasterpages are only for \"static\" things. I mean, there are just things, which got a static positioning.\n\nCan that be your mistake?\n\nRegards\n\nFlorian\n\nI have the requirement, where I am displaying the Notification longtext fro SAP.\n\nI have made the text box editable, so that the user can input as many text lines as he wants. This is client's requirement.\n\nI have wrapped my textbox in a Flowed subform and also checked the Expand to fit property for the text box.\n\nBut still my text box's height is not dynamic. The height of the box is fixed according to the no of lines coming from SAP. If I want to add more lines, the box is not increasing in height. Similarly, when I am deleting some of the text, the box size is not reducing.\n\nDo you have any idea, how can I achieve this requirement?\n\nDo I need to use script for this? Or I can achieve this without scripting?\n\nHi Rupsa,\n\nnow i got it. That is not a possible scenario. Because the interactive form is a fixed layout. It is not possible, to enlarge the box at that moment, the user in fornt puts text in there.\n\nThat comes from, because the ADS is building the form and after the ADS finished it, the layout is \"fixed\".\n\nRegards\n\nflorian\n\nSee, I got a link in youtube displaying to achieve this functionality. The only thing is, I have tried everything, which is shown here, but still it's not happening.\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNki6UwJFeA.\n\nCan you please have a look at the video and let me know how this functionality has been achieved?\n\nIs there any possibility that, I need to update my ALD version to achieve this?\n\nHi Florian, this can be achieved by making the subform Flow direction as Western text.\n\nThanks for all your help Florian.. I have achieved my requirement finally.\n\nAfter long hours of research and brain storming, the solution that I found was:\n\nAlong with making the form properties as Dynamic in Defaults and preview, I also had to pass 'X' in\n\nSFPDOCPARAMS-DYNAMIC, when calling the form from driver program.\n\n| User | Count |\n| --- | --- |\n| 58 |\n| 10 |\n| 8 |\n| 7 |\n| 6 |\n| 6 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 4 |\n| 4 |",

Two type accounts in Portal can live together without any conflicts. It's your choice delete or not delete Portal UME accounts and depend from your needs.\n\n3) To disable Portal database you can't. You can only lock UME account or delete it. Idea disable Portal database don't have deep sence, because UME and LDAP accounts can exist together without conflict.\n\nTip.

Now i am facing the problem in user ids available in UME & AD.\n\nAs I said earlier, there are users available with the same id in UME & AD. when I try to login i am facing the problem user authentication failed. when he try to login with AD password. But when I delete the user from UME and try to login with AD password and i am able to login successfully.\n\nIs there any parameter/ configuration to be done separately to authenticate users only for AD and skip UME database\n\nPlease help\n\nRegards\n\nPonnusamy\n\n1. Is there will be any conflict between ids(as there is same ids are there in ADS & Portal database).\n\nThe last time i did that, there werent any issues which i faced\n\n2. Before starting the configuration do I need to delete the portal database ids.\n\nNo - you wouldnt have to delete the id's\n\n3.Is there any way disable the portal database and make the AD database avialable\n\nIf you select the LDAP as your UME datasource, the users will be able to logon using the uid/pwd which is stored in the LDAP.\n\nThanks,\n\nGLM\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nEvery job containing the timestamp from the error message needs to be deleted using the job monitor. Then, the job System_ProcessKeepClauses needs to run. There will be a line saying \"Deleting unreferenced branched object copies\" in the job log. Afterwards, the job definition should be deletable.\n\nCreating Isolation Groups and Assigning them to Users\n\nUse\n\nWith an isolation group, a user is limited to interacting with objects of the same isolation group as well as objects\n\nfrom the GLOBAL isolation group. You assign users to isolation groups in the Security section in the navigation\n\nbar. The user must either have the role scheduler-isolation-administrator or a custom role granted which has the\n\nredwood.com/ManageSchedulerIsolation action to be able to add users to an isolation group. Users can have\n\nmultiple isolation groups; in this case, the user needs to choose an isolation group for the session during login.\n\n(I cant find my own Isolation group - but maybe you can)\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

Portal or LDAP can be the user detail data source. Field mappings/corresponding portal group mapping are also maintained as per the SAP documentation. We have 2 different IDs maintained; one for users to login which is the LDAP AD authentication ID (long ID) and another backend ID which is a short ID. The AD has both the long ID (cn) and the short ID (short ID) maintained. In the backend systems, the Long Id of the LDAP is stored in the User Alias. This set up worked fine with AC 5.3 using the SAP_USER_ID field.\n\nAs part of the LDAP field mapping in AC10, we mapped the User ID to long ID (cn) in LDAP and the SAP_User_ID is mapping to the short ID. So when a user look up is done in access request, it should look up for the long Id but when it populates the user info back to the access form, the IDs should be in the right place i.e. USERaLIAS field in Access form should have the long Id and the SAP_USER_ID/ USER_ID should have the short Id. But it never populates both the fields. We are on AC 10 SP13.\n\nSAP_USER_ID was not showing up before. So I checked 1724954 and added the field to the GRACV_ACFIELD view and I was able to finish up the field mapping. But still the user ID are not getting populated in the Access request form correctly for provisioning. I also checked the 1834706 which came with SP 13. Since we are already on this SP level, this change is already in our system.\n\nHas anyone dealt with multiple Id across EP and backend systems? How did you go about provisioning in that scenario?\n\nAny insight would help.\n\nThanks\n\nK\n\nHelp others by sharing your knowledge.\n\nAnswer\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

If the number range is defined as external (most probable in your case), you need to not generate the number using NUMBER_GET_NEXT. Instead of that you should pass the document number manually (within the range mentioned in number range) to the BAPI and the same can be used for function module ADDR_NUMBER_GET.\n\n2011 Mar 30 2:57 PM\n\nIt seems that the function ADDR_NUMBER_GET works even without providing the document number in the appl_key concatenation (sy-mandt is sufficient), do the NUMBER_GET_NEXT function is not necesarry anymore. So the contract numbers are consecutive now.\n\nThank you for the ideeas.\n\nconcatenate sy-mandt l_vbeln into wa_refwa_ref-appl_key.\n\nmove: 'VBUK' to wa_ref-appl_table,\n\n'VBELN' to wa_ref-appl_field,\n\n'SD01' to wa_ref-addr_group.\n\ncall function 'ADDR_NUMBER_GET'\n\nexporting\n\naddress_handle = 'AG $00000'\n\naddress_reference = wa_ref\n\npersonal_address = ' '\n\nNUMBERRANGE_NUMBER = '01'\n\nE071K_WA =\n\nGENERATE_TRANSPORT_ENTRIES =\n\nOWNER = 'X'\n\nTABLE_NAME =\n\nFIELD_NAME =\n\nOBJKEY =\n\nimporting\n\naddress_number = l_adrnr\n\nRETURNCODE_NUMBERRANGE =\n\nTABLES\n\nE071K_TAB =\n\nEXCEPTIONS\n\nADDRESS_HANDLE_NOT_EXIST = 1\n\nINTERNAL_ERROR = 2\n\nPARAMETER_ERROR = 3\n\nOTHERS = 4\n\n.",

As once you do that then you can map a drive to /QOpenSys/QIBM.......then the party begins..\n\nI also have a cl program i wrote by which u can map directly to the root and that also resolves the ascii character issues with this.\n\nRegards\n\nRavi Raman\n\nThere is a simple solution for this issue.\n\nBest way for sending text files to systems like AS400 whcih has defferent encoding and new line characters, is using text mode for transfer which leaves the translation process to FTP server connecting to unlike binary mode where transfer happens in exact bytes w/o any translation.\n\npraveen\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

It appears to contain the others that are included in the full install of Crystal Reports 2008, it just omits the Salesforce.com driver.\n\nWhy would i close the thread when my questions has not been answered?\n\nI can't go around installing a full version of CR 2008 on everymachine that is going to run my Crystal Report application. That's what a redistributable is for, so other machines can run applications built on CR technology without having a full install of CR.\n\nMy problem is that the redistributable is incomplete. Was it a conscious decision by BusinessObjects or an oversight to leave out the Salesforce.com driver from the redistributable package? All the other drivers are there, why not the Salesforce driver?\n\nHi,\n\nDid you try patching the CR 2008 service pack to 5 or any latest version?

I have checked the 'combine datasources' feature at the model level and the 'link dimensions' feature at the story level in SAC.

Find a mentor in your firm and learn from them how they do it.\n\nEvery firm handles their data loads differently. They may use similar processes, but there will be enough unique settings that a general tutorial will cause you problems. For example:\n\nMy company uses process chains. But many infocubes use delta processes. To restart the delta is a grossly manual process, and requires execution of a program to 'clean up' the delta.

They would see a view called Employee with address data and aview called home with sales employee data.\n\nThis is a bit strange by SAP.\n\nSorry shobhit I am fairly new to CRM so I was feeling a bit scared to just remove a view area. I've never messed with the view sets. Telling someone to use your brain is probably not the right thing to do though. This is a community that SAP has put together to help us all. We (the forums) are a stepping stone to help the newcomers and people who need help. We should not say things like \"Use your brain\" or \"figure it out on your own\". That is the whole purpose of a forum. I have reported it as abuse so please watch your language.\n\nHi Jon,\n\nI do know the purpose of this forum and also the need to help people out here that is why i am taking out time to help others while doing my own job as well. I think you should appreciate someone's effort for this if not then atleast shouldn't use words like \" a sloppy solution\".\n\nPeople come over here to fulfill their requirement, problems and for help and we as members are not owners of SAP to fix out the bug or suggest the accurate and quality solution. People over here many times provide multiple solution for single issue You have to decide which is the best suitable answer as per your requirement and should be thankful to everyone who took their time to help you, you cannot demand or taunt someone for the Perfect solution.\n\nI think you should have read my whole sentence + \"use your brain to do some experiments to learn\" + the only thing which i want to suggest using those words was that you have to play with the application to learning many things since there any no standard or good documents available hence experiment are the choice left to us to fix some of our requirements.\n\nYou should not be scared to change those things as if you try to change any SAP standard objects it will ask for developer or access key,unless you do something how you will learn.\n\nAnyways, all the Best.\n\nRegards,\n\nShobhit\n\nShobhit,\n\nMaybe it was a misinterrpretation on my part. But I've noticed a lot of your answers to others are very similiar.\n\nVery short without providing good solutions its almost as if you are just trying to gain points. Remember in the end points don't necessarily mean much. You cannot turn your points into the IRS and expect some sort of refund.\n\nMy suggestion was that when you do try to answer, try to be detailed, and give specifics, you leave the reader all the more confused when you give them these one liners that are misspelled or don't make much sense (I know you are trying to work from memory).\n\nIt's nice you provide a lot of help, in fact you've helped me in the past. But you just don't tell people to \"Use their brain...\".\n\nIn my reply about a sloppy solution, was the fact that you've put a viewset into a viewarea that do not make sense (in this case we put address information in a viewheader called salesemployee). Remember I didn't know you can just randomly add these view areas, I was a bit scared to delete or re-add thinking it would have an affect on the entire view area. But now I learned, from you in fact, that this is possible so thank you for that.\n\nI've marked the thread as answered.\n\nEdited by: Jon Hermiz on Jan 28, 2011 7:55 PM\n\nHi,\n\nYes you are correct points wont turn into refunds its just shows your contributions, i do help because people help me in my need so do i. Forum members are real people who at the same time do their job also, most of the time people used to just see the thread title and if they think they know something related they reply with some approach or solutions or even some other related posts.\n\nIf someone has a free time they might read the whole question and try to give the exact or best possible solution. I'm also working here on CRM changes with lot of work, i cant put everything stepwise even when i myself is busy in some of my production issues but if i know the real full or good solution at that time i do mention in detailed steps otherwise i will provide some approach which i do most of the time as you have checked & mentioned but sometime people use it affectively if they can to solve their issue\n\nCheck the thread [http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1880602&tstart=0] maybe sometime i used to provide detailed sol as i said.\n\nStill i'm learner over here & try to help people with my little knowledge or whatever i know till i can and if i have the time.\n\nThanks,\n\nShobhit\n\nThank you guys for playing nicely eventually. If there is an issue like this again, please take this up with a moderator or SCN admin team instead of turning this into bickering argument in the thread.\n\nThat being said some of the language used in both back and forth responses was a little too harsh in both cases. Let's try to avoid name-calling as needed.\n\nThank you,\n\nStephen\n\nCRM Forum Moderator\n\nTo any new comer here is the resolution in a step by step format:\n\nSteps To Resolve Issue\n\n1. Determine which component (use the F2 Key on the UI)\n\n2. Determine the viewset to do this there is a button u201CShow View Locationu201D on the bottom of the F2 technical data window.\n\n3. Go into the component workbench, transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB\n\n4. Enter for instance BP_CONT (the component)\n\n5. On the left side click the button Runtime Repository Editor\n\n6. Expand Viewsets\n\n7. Ensure you are in edit mode\n\n8. Now you can go to the view set BP_CONT/ContactViewSet (you got this from step 2 above)\n\n9. Now just drag and drop one view into a view set and move the other view into another view set.\n\nIn my case we just moved the viewset that was inside the viewarea employee with the viewset that was inside the viewarea home.\n\nYou can also create a new view area and move the viewset to this view area. To do this simply right click the viewset and select \"Add View Area\"\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHi Jon\n\nI have a similar requirement, in the screen shot you provided via link there is a Notes section at the bottom of the view.In our case we do not have /need the Business Development manager area so there is some real estate which is free to use.\n\nWe want to use this space to fit the Notes section there, we want to make the width of notes section shorter so that it fits in that area.\n\nDo you have any idea on how to go for this ?\n\nThanks\n\nSwapnil\n\n| User | Count |\n| --- | --- |\n| 16 |\n| 5 |\n| 2 |\n| 1 |\n| 1 |\n| 1 |\n| 1 |\n| 1 |\n| 1 |\n| 1 |",

If so how many characters can we have in a Flat Aggregate??\n\nPlease correct me iam wrong and in which scenario we go for Flat Aggregates?\n\nPlease explain me and pls dont suggest me the SDN links.\n\nThanks & Regards\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHi Sheela,\n\nYes, the aggregate created in your case will be a Flat Aggregate as each dimension in it has only one characteristic.\n\nWhen you have less than 13 components, each will be allocated to one dimension by default. These aggregates are called Flat aggregates.\n\nThis works similar to cube with Line Item Dimension.\n\nRegards\n\nChandu\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHi Sheela,\n\nAs our friends said, Flat Aggregates are nothing but a dimension with single component/characteristic.\n\nLine Item: This means that the dimension contains just one characteristic,this indicates that it doesn't maintain any dimension table; the SID table for the characteristic plays the role of the dimension table.\n\nWhen to go for Line Item:\n\nWhen dimension has a high cardinality.\n\nHigh Cardinality : When the characteristic has more number of distinct values then it is called as high cardinality.\n\nDimension has a high cardinality when the number of entries is at least 20% of the fact table entries.\n\nExample for Low cardinality is SEX: Male or Female i.e., only 2 distinct values.\n\nHope it helps.\n\nRegards,\n\nAnand.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nThanks friends,\n\nBut Aravind,Chandra and Ravi i have a question here.\n\nI am creating an Aggregate with less than 15 characteristics so each dimension will have 1 characteristis.My question is how we create a different Dim for an Aggregate and assign more than 1 character to that Dimension?\n\nPls iam little confused.\n\nThanks.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHi,\n\nWhen you defien an aggregate, you typically create an aggregate with several characteristics, not just one. If you have queries that actually report on only one characteristic, then an aggregate with just that characteristic would make sense. You create your aggregate with just the characteristic(s) that are used in just one or a few of your heavily used queries.\n\nIf your aggregate has 16(with 3 sap defined dim) or fewer characteristics in it, the BW will make the dimensions line item dimensions - you have no say in it, it is what the BW will do. Only one aggregate will be created.\n\nIf you look at the aggregate fact table, you would see SIDs for the characteristics instead of DIM IDs.\n\nRegards,\n\nAravind.\n\nHi,\n\nWhat ur example is an flat aggregates.\n\nFlat Aggregates\n\n‹ If an aggregate has less then 15 components, each component is put into a\n\nseparate dimension (“Flat Aggregates”)\n\n‹ The dimensions (except the package and unit) are marked as “Line Item”\n\n‹ Flat Aggregates are filled / rolled up without loading the data into the\n\napplication server (performance gain)\n\n‹ Line item / high cardinality dimensions already specified in the InfoCube are\n\nalso used for aggregates for corresponding dimensions (also for non-flat\n\naggregates)\nRegards,\n\nAravind.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHI\n\nIf u use all the dimension in the aggregates with one characteristic in it just like a line item dimension in a basic infocube , then it is called as Flat aggregates.\n\nHope u got it,\n\nRegards,\n\nRaviChandra\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

Is this possible in S/4 HANA public cloud through some substitution rules where we can put some conditions based on which the system will default the WHT codes during invoice processing.\n\nNote - The client has this requirement because they have some vendors who are subject to more than one WHT types. One vendor could be subject to either section 194C or 194D at the time of invoicing as an example. So they are looking for a option to be able to select the WHT type (at the invoice processing) based on the type of invoice issued to the vendor. Unfortunately this cannot be achieved as per standard , so I am looking for a workaround or a substitution way how it can be met.\n\nPlease help me with your valuable inputs.\n\nThanks\n\nShimul\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

In one particular program the method SET_SEND_IMMEDIATELY has been raising an exception and I don't know why. The really strange thing is that the exception is being raised depending on the logged on user and if debugging is active:\n\nMy user - the email is sent successfully\n\nTwo other users - the exception is raised\n\nSame other users but debugging to see where the exception is raised - the email is sent successfully!\n\nSo this says to me it's some sort of timing issue. I can't see any difference between my userid and the ones that fail. I've copied one of these users and still have the same issue. All of this is occurring on my PC, so it's not a PC or SAPGUI problem.\n\nAs I can't reproduce the problem whilst debugging, all I can see is that the exception CX_OS_ERROR or CX_SYSTEM_ERROR is begin caught in method CL_SEND_REQUEST_BCS->SETU_ASYNCHRONOUS, and as it's not being caught into a reference variable I can't see any further detail. It's then propogated as CX_SEND_REQ_BCS with error type CX_BCS=>OS_EXCEPTION.\n\nIf I remove the call to method SET_SEND_IMMEDIATELY completely then the program short dumps with an uncaught exception CX_OS_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND during the SEND method - again this only happens for the two other test users and not my own.\n\nVery strange. As I said earlier it's code that I've taken from my own library and have used it many times before with no problem.\n\nAny suggestions on where to go from here?\n\nThanks\n2016 Sep 21 2:33 PM\n\nProblem solved - it was because there was a COMMIT WORK buried in a bespoke class that was being called after the BCS document had been created.

If it is MALA, then shipping point / plant / storage conditons. Looking at your case, i feel that OVL3 is maintained only for 20. If you want to process other warehouse 2222 or 3333 maintain the storage loc that is assigned to them in OVL3.\n\nThe imp of WH is that if it is active, you need to create transfer order TO to pick the quantity. Storage loc determination is not dependent on WH unless any custom code is asssigned.\n\nRegards,\n\nSivanand\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in.

Do I need to configure some additional settings?\n\nI forgot to mention that my application is a .NET IVIEW generated with PDK 2.0 in VS 2003 so I don't know if this is the right procedure to have the .NET connector proxy connected to the Backend System.\n\n> I forgot to mention that my application is a .NET\n\n> IVIEW generated with PDK 2.0 in VS 2003 so I don't\n\n> know if this is the right procedure to have the .NET\n\n> connector proxy connected to the Backend System.\n\nAh, well in this case please ignore the ticket toolkit and use the features provided with the PDK: The PDK has a special Destination for the connector that is used to pass the portal login to the Connector.\n\nHi Reiner,\n\nI have changed the code, now using a portal destination:\n\nDim conn As SAP.Connector.SAPConnection\n\nconn = New SAP.Connector.SAPConnection(PortalDestination1.ConnectionString)\n\nconn.Open()\n\nconn.Close()\n\nThe error now is: The system is unable to interpret the SSO ticket received\n\nThe content of PortalDestination2.ConnectionString is:\n\nMYSAPSSO2=\"AjExMDAgABRwb3J0YWw6QWRtaW5pc3RyYXRvcogAE2Jhc2ljYXV0aGVudGljYXRpb24BAAACAAMwMDADAANFUFAEAAwyMDA2MDYzMDE1NTAFAAQAAAAICgAA/wD0MIHxBgkqhkiG9w0BBwKggeMwgeACAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMAsGCSqGSIb3DQEHATGBwDCBvQIBATATMA4xDDAKBgNVBAMTA0VQUAIBADAJBgUrDgMCGgUAoF0wGAYJKoZIhvcNAQkDMQsGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAcBgkqhkiG9w0BCQUxDxcNMDYwNjMwMTU1MDI2WjAjBgkqhkiG9w0BCQQxFgQUm0m9kiieDwfJkPFTdQ7lkStQMIAwCQYHKoZIzjgEAwQuMCwCFBeA4EjwV1LgeulpLOXaNyssOVuAhQJkbhSjWJzvpw7oCxELErjm+s2A==\" CLIENT=800 LANG=en ASHOST=IP SYSNR=0 SNC_QOP=0\n\nWhat could be the reason the connector can't interpret the ticket? Could it be altered somehow? How can we know this?\n\nThanks for you answer\n\nHi,\n\nSeems like you've defined the connection properly (since I see you get the connection string). Only thing that looks strange is the ASHOST=IP (did you just remove it in your post? it should be the IP of the R/3 server...).\n\nAnother thing - did you set the AuthenticationMethod property on the PortalDestination to SAPLOGONTICKET (in the EP system)?\n\nRegards,\n\nOfer\n\nHi Marin,\n\nI'm not sure what's gone wrong, but it looks like the connection string isn't the problem. The exception seems to come from the R/3 system, not from the .NET code.\n\nYou might have done something wrong with the Portal and ABAP configurations (so that the ticket can be used for login).\n\nMy suggestion is that you again carefully read the blog Reiner mentioned (/people/dennis.kleymeonov/blog/2005/09/15/connecting-sap-systems-to-enterprise-portal-with-sso), including all the comments, PS's and check out the other links there. And then try to re-do all the steps again, maybe something was left out or didn't work the first time.\n\nAnother test you can do is to try to see that when you change to \"user+password\" authentication you are able to run your BAPI (just edit the 'system' in the portal, no need to change your code)\n\nRegards,\n\nOfer\n\n| User | Count |\n| --- | --- |\n| 60 |\n| 10 |\n| 8 |\n| 8 |\n| 7 |\n| 6 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 4 |",

We want this to happen when we click a link at the external server in the AppInt iview:\n\n-Two parameters shall be retreived from the external server which it posts.\n\n-An application iview should be opened and which one should be determined by one of the retreived parameters.\n\n-The second parameter should be sent to the transaction iview so that you don't have to copy/paste it.\n\nThe last thing is of course simple to achive, we already send parameters to the transaction iviews, but it's the first two things of retreiving parameters and opening up a certain iview that is concerning me.\n\nCan this be done?\n\nBest regards\n\nBenny Lange\n\nMessage was edited by:\n\nBenny Lange\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

What may be the reason. Is there any way that like using user status, if we create notification for any equipment, system should change equipment status. At the time of NOCO, again equipment status should change. Thanx in advance.\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nSAPPM@10021983 ,\n\nLook to you business process and actual requirements.\n\n1. If multiple notifications are created for the same reference object, you increase the number of notifications to be managed - however this is one way of representing multiple defects.\n\n2. Alternatively, you can create multiple items on the one notification (if you are using maintenance catalogs) to indicate many defects for the one event e.g. Notification = Pump noisy - Item 1 bearing, Item 2 shaft etc.\n\nScenario 2 may be a better administrative solution but, in the case of a breakdown, downtime is calculated for each item. Therefore, you must be careful with data as in IW68 with totals you may end up with the sum of the downtime x number of items fo one breakdown.\n\nEdited by: GreyBeard on Sep 8, 2009 8:25 AM\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHi,\n\nIn standard, multiple Notification will be created against one equipment for the same time for the need of capturing various failures/damages/causes/task/activity and assigning different responsibility etc., for independant tracking and handling of the same.\n\nIf you want to restrict (validation) not to duplicate the notification for a equipment till completion of the Notification, you can use Exit:QQMA0014 (QM/PM/SM: Checks before saving a notification) and validate the Notification.\n\nRegarding status change of equipment, can you pls explain the purpose and use of the same.\n\nThanks\n\nSiva\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHI thanx.\n\nBut what is standard practice. Bec is it right to create two breakdown notification at same time for same equipment but with different responsibilities. In that case MTTR/MTBR will be wrong.\n\nSecond thing ,Equipment change status ,I am using IE4N functionality. So at the time of reurn if equipment got damage , we set status as damaged(user status) and create breakdown notification. AT the time of NOCO, equipment status got changed , so that store person can release equipment.\n\nthanx in advance\n\nMultiple Notification for an Equipment at a time is allowed in standard SAP and it is required in many businesses. All the notifications can be assigned to a single maintenance order.\n\nEquipment status can not be changed based on Notification / order statuses in Standard SAP. You may develop a program to update the status.\n\nBabu\n\nHi,\n\n1. Creating mutliple notification for a equipment at same time also a standard practice based on requirements.\n\n2. MTTR/MTBR will be not be wrong since, it is derived based on object. (B/d or activity or task may happen on various reasons, but it is related to single object (equipment your case).\n\n3. During Notification process like NOCO and On save, you can update/change the user status of the equipment. Pls check the following\n\nFor update/change when saving notification: BAdi NOTIF_EVENT_SAVE\n\nFor status change: Function Module: STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN\n\nThanks\n\nSiva\n\n| User | Count |\n| --- | --- |\n| 120 |\n| 10 |\n| 8 |\n| 5 |\n| 4 |\n| 4 |\n| 4 |\n| 4 |\n| 3 |\n| 3 |",

Also what will be the extract structure for generated data source 3fi_gl_x_si?\n\nHi,\n\nYes, 0FI_GL_14 pulls leading ledger in new gl accounts where 3FI_GL_XX_SI pulls other ledgers data by custom generated data source.\n\n3FI_GL_XX_SI - extract str need to be created by using tables.\n\nIf you recheck the sap help links you may get some idea. Regarding special ledgers and ledger in gl account check with your FI team. it might be useful.\n\nThanks\n\n| User | Count |\n| --- | --- |\n| 55 |\n| 10 |\n| 9 |\n| 8 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 4 |",

If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nhi,\n\nyou will have to enable semantic group. in semantic group mention material as key.\n\nThe setting Handle duplicate record only handles duplicate in the same package but if the same material is extracted in another package then it throws duplicate record error. Enabling the semantic keys will make sure that the data is extracted based on the semantic keys i.e. all the materials records will be pulled in a single package and not distributed in multiple packages.\n\nAll same materials will be extarcted in single package and handles duplicate value check will filter the records.\n\nregards,\n\nArvind.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHi Praveen,\n\nAs pointed correctly by Arvind,we use Semantic Groups to specify how we want to build the data packages that are read from the source (DataSource or InfoProvider). To do this, define key fields. Data records that have the same key are combined in a single data package.We specify that key in semantic keys.\n\n```\nthanks.... do i need use valid records update and reporting possible for this ?\n```\n\nChoosing this option is totally independent of the duplicate record error issue.\n\nDTP supports in handling data records with errors. At runtime, the incorrect data records are sorted and can be written to an error stack . After the error has been resolved, one can further update data to the target from the error stack. Error may arise because of invalid character posted while entering postings in ecc side tables or if any particular char is not allowed in RSKC. So rather than going back to PSA editing the data there and reloading it back we have the option of error satck where we can rectify these records\n\nBelow steps would help us understand the basic idea of the Error Stack and how it would be handled to rectify the erroneous records.\n\nNo Update, No Reporting: Error Occurs, the whole data package is terminated.\n\nValid Records Updated, No Reporting (Request Red): Valid records updated. After manual release of request, data is available for reporting.\n\nValid Records Updated, Reporting Possible (Request Green): Valid records are updated and available for reporting.\n\nRegards\n\nRaj Rai\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

You can use any standard rol like SAP_FMCA_CA_ALL_EHP5_TRM_NWBC\n\nto see examples of Webdynpros....\n\nTo run rhe BRFplus application you'd need to configure, at least, the following objects:\n\n- Form Bundle type, revenue type and form scenario.\n\nConfiguring Form Bundle type you can specify the BRFplus application to be usedfor processing the form bundle type....\n\nWeb dynpro Appl. FMCA_WDY_FPF allows you to call your Form Bundle Type and run the BRFplus application.....\n\nAsall of these tasks requires deep knowledge of Tax and Rev.

Now it works and saves when using CALL TRANSACTION 'VK11' USING bdctab MODE 'N', but when I use BDC_INSERT it does not save to the db tables. Is there a special commit or extra step needed to use BDC_INSERT vs CALL TRANSACTION?\n\n2012 Oct 09 6:11 PM\n\nI have figured it out.

We are not using SUS. The purchaser or purch. assistant should be able to create an item of type 'Service Order'. So far, I am able to create such an item and to select a supplier from the list, but I can't get the system to display any service agent.\n\nI replicated the vendor from the backend system.\n\nI set the bidder flag in the business partner and maintained a (backend) product category for this bidder.\n\nI set the allow surrogate bidding flag (don't know whether this is necessary)\n\nI included the vendor into a supplier list for the relevant product category\n\nAll this is necessary in order for the vendor to show up as a possible source of supply when creating the service order item.\n\nNow,\n\nI additionally created a contact person for the vendor (through the Web GUI)\n\nI set the flags contact person and service agent\n\nI did the same but this time linking an SU01 user with the contact person. I tried assigning several roles to this user, including, but not limited to, /SAPSRM/SUS_SERVICE_AGENT.\n\nI even tried setting the SRM system as a EBP_SUS system in the landscape configuration (I first tried with LOCAL).\n\nStill no service agent would show up when clicking on 'Add/Remove Service Agent'\n\nDoes anybody know what I'm missing, doing wrong or incorrectly assuming?\n\nThanks\n\nt7\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHello Tangram,\n\nI found the non-ability to find service-agents in service orders and service requests strange aswell. While there indeed is the ability to create service agents for a vendor it can not find these service agents. From what we concluded this most probably is due to not having SUS configured which includes service agents aswell. [SAP help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/fb/6d18850b3d4ba2a94766ff2a509fca/frameset.htm] didn't clearify anything either.\n\nThis is something we might want to post an OSS message for. Because i think you're right, the service agents in SRM should come up.\n\nKind regards,\n\nTim\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nYes, unfortunately it is more often than none that the SAP documentation is very vague regarding what are the prerequisites for a given functionality or in which scenario it is really available. I guess I could debug the code and find out what's happening, but debugging SRM 7.0 with the NWBC (Business Client) seems to be impossible; as soon as you put an external breakpoint a short dump is generated. So I'm afraid I'll have to open an OSS message as well.\n\nThanks and regards\n\nt7\n\nHi\n\ndid you try like this\n\nNote 1174423 - Business partner is invalid for Employee as Service Agent\n\nYou create an Employee for Business Partner using 'Manage Business Partner' BBPMAININT transaction. You mark the Employee as 'Service Agent' and save the Employee. Now if you try to edit the Business Partner in transaction BBPMAININT the system prompts the message 'Business partner XXXX is invalid'\n\nSo, does anybody know what steps are necessary for getting service agents available when requesting external staff?\n\nI am able to select vendors/bidders as source of supply and to create contact persons/service agent for them, but the service agents are not available when requesting external staff. Any idea?\n\nThanks\n\nt7\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.",

In Crystal Reports there is the function \"show cell margins\".\n\nIf this option is activated, there is a gap between the data fields and the margin of the cells. Because of the gap it is impossible to colour the whole cell by a condition.\n\nIf the option is not activated theres is no gap between the cells and the margin. This results in a really crimped cross table layout.\n\nSo, what I need is the following...\n\nEither...\n\nA conditional format of the cross table cell background, depending on the value of the data field in that cell\n\nOr...\n\nThe possibility to set a text indention for number cells\n\nDoes anybody know if these functions exist?\n\nWhat's the alternatives?\n\nThanks for helping me...\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nIf I understand you correctly, you may want to try the following:\n\nFor your first option:\n\n1.Right-click on the field and select \"Format Field\"\n\n2. In the \"Border\" tab, click on the \"x-2\" button to the right of the Background option.\n\n3. In the format formula editor you would enter something like\n\nIf currentfieldvalue = 1 then\n\ncrred\n\nelse if currentfieldvalue = 2 then\n\ncrblue\n\nelse if ..... any other colors\n\n4. Save and close the format formula editor.\n\nFor the second option:\n\n1. Right-click on the numeric field and select \"Format Field\"\n\n2. In the \"Common\" tab change the \"Horizontal Alignment\" drop-down to \"Left\" to left-justify the number.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHello M Kotzabassi and all the others around here,\n\nthank you for your answer.\n\nThe first option is now working with the conditional border colours. It's not the silver bullet, but it works. Thank you!\n\nConcerning the second option.\n\nI don't want to left-justify the numbers. I would like to set a text indention for numbers. Does anybody know a formula, which I can enter into the \"horizontal alignment\"-Formula-Dialog?\n\nBest Regards!\n\nHello again!\n\nWhat I mean is text indenting,\n\nthe numbers shouldn't be placed directly at the beginning or the end of field.There should be a small gap, and this gap should be editable. For example in Excel there is a function like this.\n\nExample:\n\nUsually the numbers are placed right-justified.\n\n```\n| 0,00| 0,00| 0,00|\n| 0,00| 0,00| 0,00|\n| 0,00| 0,00| 0,00|\n| 0,00| 0,00| 0,00|\n```\n\nWhat I want, is the following:\n\n```\n| 0,00 | 0,00 | 0,00 |\n| 0,00 | 0,00 | 0,00 |\n| 0,00 | 0,00 | 0,00 |\n| 0,00 | 0,00 | 0,00 |\n```\n\nOK, I hope now it has become clearer...\n\nHello, I don't think the currency symbol formulas will do what you need. I believe you need to change the number to text (as was shown in the previous message) and add one or more spaces after it. To put the formula in the display string option:\n\n1. Right-click on the field in the cross-tab and select \"Format Field\".\n\n2. In the Common tab, click on the \"x-2\" button to the right of the \"Display String\" option towards the bottom.\n\n3. In the formula editor put something like\n\n```\ntotext(currentfieldvalue) + ' '\n```\n\nwith however many spaces you want in the \"+ ' ' \" option.\n\nHi,\n\nthank you for your insights.\n\nI think the display string formula is a good method.\n\nNow I can construct a left and a right padding for the current field.\n\nA bottom padding can be constructed easy by increasing the field size, because the vertical alignment of the field is always \"top\".\n\nBut what's with the top-padding.\n\nHow to reach this?\n\nI need something like a vertical alignment function.\n\nThis would be very helpful.\n\n| User | Count |\n| --- | --- |\n| 58 |\n| 10 |\n| 8 |\n| 7 |\n| 6 |\n| 6 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 4 |\n| 4 |",

Perhaps when you perform your navigation to go back ot the initial screen you should use an Exit Plug or Portal API to reload the application instead. Another option would be to go to the View Properties and set the lifetime to When Visible. Then when you fire a navigation plug to go to a different view, the first will be released (and hopefully that will reshow the defaults - although I can't say I've tested this scenario).\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

Any material that undergoes a minor change in the process, you should differentiate with a new material code. In fact, if you ask your PP guys, they will go by what I say.\n\nStill if you want the requirement to go with the same material code, what I would suggest is that in Basic Data2 view, you can see a field \"Old Material Number\". Maintain some data here and save. Later on whenever you want to see from what date, the same material code with change in process is sold, go to TCode MM04 and check. Here you can check the change records for that particular material datewise. Hope this is what your requirement is all about.\n\nthanks\n\nG.

When the material is undergoing some changes and it is not similar to the material X, then it should have a different identity. Will the two materials be maintained separately in the plant? It will give more clarity if you specify in detail, the changes you are making to that material.\n\nThanks,\n\nRavi\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

Now we need to upload to our NWDI .For that I have done the following steps.\n\nI have created some track in the CMS.\n\nI have loded that SC in to the track.\n\nI have imported that track in to the NWDS.\n\nThe track which imported contains the SC , this SC contains some DC's .\n\nfor getting the project in to the local mechine.\n\nIn the DC prospective -> Inactive DCs -> done the right click on the respective DC's and choosen as Create project option. Then i am able to see the DC project in the webdynpro prospective.\n\nNow the project in the local mechine see the code and i need to rebuild and deploy .\n\nWhat are steps need to be done. Please provide the step by step information for doing this\n\nThanks& Regards\n\nvijay\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHi Vijay,\n\nFollow this:\n\n1.Import a development configuration.\n\nThe first step for you as a developer is to import an appropriate development configuration. The development configuration is your connection to the NWDI. By importing a development configuration, you get access to all resources relevant for your work without having to search for the right sources, libraries and servers.\n\n2.Select the components you want to develop.\n\nIn the Development Configurations perspective, you can create projects for existing components to add them to your development list, The development environment automatically loads the required source files and archives into your local file system and tries to build the selected components locally\n\n3. Create new components.\n\nYou can use the Development Configurations perspective also to create new components .Create the new component directly in the DTR. The development environment may propose a change list (\"activity\") or prompt you to create a new activity to be used to record the creation of the component.\n\n4.Synchronize the source files and libraries.\n\nFrom time to time, you should resynchronize your local sources and libraries with the NWDI to receive the most up-to-date changes of other developers.\n\n5.Change the component sources.\n\nBefore you can change a source file, you must make the intended change known to the DTR (to check out the file) and agree on an activity to record the change. You can create a new activity or use an existing one.\n\n6.Edit components.\n\nDepending on the type of the component you develop, you can perform components development using the Java, J2EE, WebDynpro, Dictionary or any other suitable perspective.\n\n7. Release the changes for the central build.\n\nAfter checking the changes in, you can pass them to the Component Build Service (CBS), that is, you perform the activation process.\n\n8.Release the changes in the development landscape.\n\nAfter a successful activation, pass your changes to the Change Management Service (CMS) of the NWDI, which transports your changes within the development landscape, for example, between a development system and a consolidation system.\n\nThanks\n\nKrishna\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nVijay,\n\nWhen you try to change any component in DC it will ask to save all those changes in an activity .create an activity and all your changes to that activity.\n\nonce you are done with all your changes go to development perspective - open activies and right click and check in the activity.once it is compiled and build it goes to transport view-go there and right click on the activity and release.\n\nonce you do this go to http://server:port/devinf -CMS\n\nselect your track and go to consolidation tab-select the activity and import\n\nthen all your code changes will reflect\n\nIf any issues please revert to me\n\nThanks\n\nBala Duvvuri\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nhi Bala,\n\nThanks for your useful points.\n\nI am facing some errors after i created the local project by right clicking on the perticular DC.\n\nI have done the Reload + Rebuild and in the webdynpro prospective.\n\nthen i closed the nwds and then right click on the DC-> option called DC-> Build.\n\nbut still some class path errors and some applications dependent errors.\n\nI have created all the DC's which are available in perticular SC.\n\nBut still i am not able to resolve the errors.\n\nany tips for resolving those errors.\n\nRegards\n\nVijay\n\n| User | Count |\n| --- | --- |\n| 57 |\n| 10 |\n| 8 |\n| 8 |\n| 6 |\n| 6 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 4 |\n| 4 |",

The reports runs fine on my local development environment which is Windows XP Professional Edition using Visual Studio 2010. Now when I try to test these reports on Windows 2008 Server where the code is being deployed the SAP Crystal report browser omes up and there is not actuall report within the Crystal Report browser. I also see a logo saying SAP Crystal Report on this browser on Window 2008 Server but no report within the browser. I have installed the CR_Runtime_32bit_13_0_2.msi on the server.\n\nThe only difference between the above to environments is that one has the Crystal Reports 13 for Visual Studio 2010 and the server has CR Runtime Environment.\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

I checked and I have the httpHandler tags for SAP in the web.config as well.\n\nI was wondering do you know if I need to install anything other than CR_Runtime_32bit_13_0_2.msi\n\nI saw some merge modules I was wondering if you know I needed to install them on the server as well....\n\nThanks\n\nHello Natasha\n\nNo other runtime is needed. The MSI is it and best as it also includes other non CR dependencies (e.g.; VC++). Couple of ideas.\n\n1) See if the info in the following thread will help:\n\nhttp://scn.sap.com/thread/3157366\n\n2) Use a utility such as Charles or Fiddler to see where the viewer requests are being redirected to.\n\n- Ludek\n\nHello Ludek- According to fiddler it appears to be looking for the WebResources.axd file and displays this message:\n\nGET WebResources.axd.404 Not Found\n\nServer Error:\n\n404 Not Found\n\nThe resource you are llokign for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.\n\nIs there any Crystal Report Runtime patch or fix I might need to apply for this to work.\n\nThanks!\n\n-Natasha\n\nThe 404 error has nothing to do with Crystal Reports. I'd suggest googling \"error 404\" and see if any of the finds will help. You will have to resolves this error before continuing on to CR.\n\nIs Fiddler telling you anything about the crystalreportviewers13 folder? Is it even being looked for?\n\n- Ludek\n\nNatasha, I just noticed that you are also on this thread:\n\nhttp://scn.sap.com/thread/3180949\n\nThat will just lead to confusion and its' against the rules of engagement. Please choose the thread you want to work on, let me know and I'll close the other one.\n\n- Ludek\n\nThe entire .NET application works fine but when I click the link that takes us to the Crystal Reports we get the missing WebResource.axd. I have also added the WebResource.axd handler to the web.config. But I get the following error.\n\nGet WebResource 500 Internal Sever Error\n\nThere is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.\n\nThis only happens when running the reports using the Crystal Report Runtime Environment on the but not within visual studio.\n\nHi Ludek,\n\nWe also have the similar issue when we published our software to one of our client.

After that, once we enter into the screen, there is a button for define traffic light. Once we click on this, we will get a subscreen for traffic light. In this, traffic lights are the same for all the MRP controllers ( MRP controller should be vary in the selection criteria).

My problem is that i want to split file everytime field that holds edifact code is BGM. For Example if I have a file like this :\n\nBGM 11111111111111\n\nLIN 22222222222222\n\nLIN 33333333333333\n\nBGM 44444444444444\n\nLIN 55555555555555\nI will map this file to a message like this :\n\ncode: BGM\n\nmes: 1111111111111\nSo I need to create a split to create one IDOC everytime code is BGM. In this Example I'll have to create 2 IDOCS . First will have first three lines and second will have the remaining two.\n\nRegards\n\n2015 Oct 21 4:26 PM\n\nAre you using any middleware? It is very simple in Middleware.\n\ne.G for SAP PI/PO in graphical mapping you can map the BGM segment to IDOC node in target structure for this.\n\nR\n\n2015 Oct 21 4:28 PM\n\n2015 Oct 21 4:30 PM\n\nThe heading of the post says you are using SAP PI.\n\nAnyway how you are receiving the file? via FTP or you are placing it the local PC/Application server and then trying to read it?\n\nR\n\n2015 Oct 21 4:31 PM\n\n2015 Oct 21 4:37 PM\n\nThen as I said. It is very easy in XI graphical mapping. Only thing you might need to do is to change the XSD of the IDOC to accept multiple occurrence( 1 to unbounded). So you can manually edit the XSD of the Idoc or create an external message and use that as the target structure.\n\n2015 Oct 21 4:40 PM\n\nI've already done this . My problem is splitting lines everytime code is BGM and place them in IDOC.\n\n2015 Oct 21 4:54 PM\n\nOh I see. BGM is not a segment(My bad : I thought you are using EDIFACT) rather a value in segment. Then I don't think them it is possible via graphical mapping. You may want to explore ABAP(If not single stack PO)/Java/XSLT mapping .\n\n2015 Oct 21 5:00 PM\n\n2015 Oct 21 5:05 PM",

With that said what is the allocated memory size set for ServletExec and how much is available on the machine?\n\nThe transaction you are dealing with is well within a valid size for the application as I've seen them even larger than this, although it is not Good Practice to do this. Try to be more modular in your future designs.\n\nMost likely someone went in to manually edit the TRX and broke it's XML structure. If this is the case you are better off rebuilding the transaction instead of looking though all of the XML for the issue. Keep in mind that when rebuilding this transaction it's operation should be rearchitected to be more modular in nature. This will allow for quicker maintenace and more flexibility. Hope this helps.\n\n-Sam\n\n| User | Count |\n| --- | --- |\n| 2 |\n| 1 |\n| 1 |\n| 1 |\n| 1 |\n| 1 |",

Due to customer security the report must be stored locally by them on their server with no outside access. Due to this we currently ship them new and updated reports which are stored in a standard \\reports folder. One of the problems with this is the integrity of the rpt file itself. Storage of the reports in this manner allows the users to open the reports (if they have CR installed) and make changes which then are manifested when ran within the application.\n\nI would like to store / deploy the reports in a different manner but I don't know that much about it and I am not sure what methodology would work the best.\n\nBeing that out data is stored in a SQL server can rpt files be stored in a SQL table (like a blob?) If so if it easy to call the reports from the table?\n\nCan you store rpt files in DLLs?\n\nI know we could assemble the reports inside the application itself but that would require a release when one off report changes take place.\n\nAm I barking up the wrong tree here or if what I am thinking about possible?\n\nThanks a lot for any and all responses!\n\nRob\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nYes you can save them as BLOB's, I dont' have samples but I do know others who have done this.\n\nPlease re-post if this is still an issue to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHi,\n\nWhat version are you using crystal report .rpt? Thats why new crystal report are now integrated for security purposes so that .rpt files cannot be shown. For my experience you cant but you can still store the reports in a folder that they cant open the file. Do not install the whole package of the CR but instead just register the DLL so that it can be recognized by the OS.\n\nREgards,\n\nClint\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHi Paul,\n\nPlease keep in mind that there is a long-running-war in opinion which server / port is reported by these methods when there is a proxy set in front of the portal. From my understanding (and I think this is backed up by the corresponding RFCs), the method should always return the server name/port how the original client uses it. Nevertheless, for example Apache and Tomcat both have the possibility to switch this to the proxies address. And Novell iChain for example does a dumb mix (name of the original client, port of the proxy, or vice versa, don't remember exactly).\n\nSo use it with care... That's also the reason why for example SAP doesn't trust this method (and many software doesn't) and let's the admin fill in the end-users server name / port as a config.\n\nHope it helps not to trap into a pit,\n\nbest regards\n\nDetlev\n\n| User | Count |\n| --- | --- |\n| 58 |\n| 10 |\n| 8 |\n| 8 |\n| 6 |\n| 6 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 4 |\n| 4 |",

If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHello Adhvi,\n\nCan you ensure that you have replicated the datasource on the BW side and that you have adjusted the transfer structure for the datasource so that it has the new fields, as per the note 529789:\n\n\"\n\n1. Up to and including SAPI Release 3.0, all fields of a DataSource are\n\nalways used in the extractor checker (RSA3). The transfer structure\n\nto a DataSource in the BW system, however, can only contain a subset\n\nof the fields of a DataSource . If the transfer structure contains a\n\nreduced number of fields, only these fields are extracted by a BW\n\nrequest from the source system. In particular, when you use the SAPI\n\nuser exit, this can cause the extraction result of the RSA3 and BW\n\nrequest to differ. Possible causes:\n\na) Fields are used in the user exit that are not contained in the\n\ntransfer structure of the DataSource in the BW system. The data\n\ntransferred to the user exit by the standard extractor leaves\n\nthese fields empty and the user exit fills the dependent fields\n\nincorrectly.\n\nBy changing the transfer structure in BW, you can undo the\n\ndifference between the field lists used in transaction RSA3 and BW\n\nextraction. You can do this on that left lower tab in the transfer\n\nrules. The transfer structure includes the fields to which an\n\nInfoObject is assigned in this case. You should therefore assign an\n\nInfoObject to all fields.\n\n\"\n\nPlease also check all the other points mentioned in the SAP note 529789 in case they can explain the cause of the problem in your system.\n\nKind Regards,\n\nDes\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nHello Des,\n\nThank you for the reply it was useful information.But the root cause was in badi function enhancement ...the data was not appending to the internal table, used the refresh statement.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

Work out the transaction you would use to create the data manually.\n\n2. Use transaction \"SHDB\" to record the creation of one material master data.\n\nClick the New recording button or the Menu - Recording - Create\n\n3. Save the recording, and then go back a screen to the overview.\n\n4. Select the recording and click on Edit - Create Program.\n\nGive the program a Z* name, and select transfer from recording.\n\n5. Edit the program. You will see that all the data you entered is hard-coded into the program. Make the following changes:\n\na. After the start-of-selection, Call ws_upload to upload the file (the excel file needs to be saved as TAB separated).\n\nb. After the open-group, Loop on the uploaded data. For each line, perform validation checks on the data, then modify the perform bdc_field commands to use the file data.\n\nc. After perform bdc_transaction, add endloop.\n\nExecute the program. It will have options to create a batch session or to process directly.\n\nPlease reward points if useful.",

Do you think is it possible?\n\nThanks very much.\n\nLuíza\n\n2008 Oct 14 2:51 AM\n\nHi,\n\nTry using a BDC to create a new request..You can get back the created request from the table.

Was wondering if there is any way i can get this count/number of approval steps from this datasource.\n\nAlso does SC_COUNT add any value to what i am looking for. This just gives the count of headers in a shopping cart. I also wanted to know why do we have more than one header for any shopping cart. Does the count of header represent the approval steps involved by any chance.\n\nPlease advice.\n\n| User | Count |\n| --- | --- |\n| 60 |\n| 10 |\n| 8 |\n| 8 |\n| 7 |\n| 6 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 5 |\n| 4 |",

I can see how something like this might work with hierarchical tables (using a master column) - but even in this case all elements within the same branch share the same node.\n\nI can't see anyway of populating the dropdown by key values other than populating the valuelist of the attribute info (derived from node info) I certainly can't see any way to bind the valuelist on and element by element basis.\n\nI believe there may be a solution using the dropdown by index - was this how you solved your problem?\n\nI would be very interested to understand how you solved this problem.\n\nThanks!\n\nChris\n\nHi guys,\n\nfor all who lost in translation and landed on this question... i found a (the) solution for myself.\n\nIf you want different values in each dropdown in each cell of one column ( 'BKVID' ) ...\n\n1. define a context node which is explicit for the alv.

Also you can make changes and write a code in to Include ZSDAUTH01 in Program SAPLV69A. In that UserExit_Field_Modification Function is there , u can write code like,\n\nloop at screen.\n\nif screen-name = 'NAME_OF_FIELD_HERE_IN_CAPS'.\n\ne.g. screen-input = 0.\n\nmodify screen.\n\nendif.\n\nendloop.\n\n[ set attributes of screen such as REQUIRED, INPUT, OUTPUT, INTENSIFIED, INVISIBLE, ACTIVE, DISPLAY_3D, VALUE_HELP to 1(ON) or 0(OFF) ] \n\nTry this solutions , and tell me weather its useful or not !!\n\nReward with some points if useful ...\n\nThanks & Regards,\n\n2007 Oct 12 5:09 PM\n\nHi bh_hir,\n\nfirst I would like to thank you for your reply.

Our order creation based on ship-to-party.\n\nWhere partner determination being called during process so I can check what is going wrong?\n\nI'm also found 'ORDER_SAVE' BADI to modify partner but more interested to know if there is any FM being called to determine partner function while order creation via WEB.\n\nThanks & Regards,\n\nNilesh Parsekar\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nNilesh,\n\nE-Commerce B2B design hinges on an assumption that the Contact Person (alias for the Logged in User) has multiple Sold-Tos and one should pick the Sold-To for creating the order. That is, the application knows the Contact Person already and forces you to pick a Sold-To first. There is no partner determination per-se. It is hard-wired logic. The following Business partners are set instead of being determined.\n\n
Contact Person - SU01 user alias etc.\n\n
Sold-To - Through Contact person to Sold-To relationship\n\nRemember, in CRM for the E-Commerce B2B to work, the logging in user (SU01 user) must be Internet enabled - aka - must have a Contact Person alias and the Contact person must have at least one Sold-To. And that is what is used in the above logic.\n\nThe SAPGUI version gives ways to select and set the partners the way we want by way of the Partner determination procedure . However, these config changes are not automatically reflected in the Web world. You have to make a similar change in the sequence of determining the partner. Like, selecting the Ship-To first and then the Sold-To. That will be custom modification. :..-(\n\nA solution from10,000 foot level:\n\nMaintain a similar relationship for Contact Person to Ship-To in Business partner. Or more sleek way will be to develop a custom function module to get all the Ship-Tos of the Sold-Tos the Contact Person (SU01 user alias) is related to. - Custom ABAP + configuration work\n\nChange the standard E-Commerce flow to show a list of Ship-Tos as determined in the previous step. - Custom Java + application configuration work\n\nDetermine the Sold-To automatically from Ship-To by whatever logic you use now. - ABAP + Java\n\nSet these new partners in the E-Commerce application.- Java\n\nCreate orders and be happy\n\n(Usually there are several ways to skin a cat and this is just one of them)\n\nEaswar Ram\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

Following are errors, observations and inconsistent behaviors with reference to ECC backend.\n\n1. The value selected from search help is not getting filled in functional location field\n\n2. It appears that enter button is getting pressed while selecting value from search help and data in all other fields disappears.\n\n3. Some of the fields on this flavor are mandatory. If all mandatory fields are filled manually before selecting functional location from search help then transaction is posted successfuy without any problem.\n\n4. The date also can not be picked from drop down/date picker.\n\n5. Search help is working fine for other flavors. For example ME2L transaction where there is no mandatory field on the screen.\n\nPlease let us know if any one of you have experienced such behaviors with your flavors. Any pointer is highly apprecuated.\n\nThanks & Regards,\n\nAvinash\n\nHelp others by sharing your knowledge.\n\nAnswer\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.\n\nSuch behavior is usually related to tab caching. Required fields and tab caching don't play nicely with each other.\n\nMandatory fields will force a certain sequence in screen processing and tab caching tries to click on each cached tab before the screen is rendered. The required field check will kick in when a new tab is selected for caching by the flavor and you get the 'Enter required fields' message.\n\nAs for the disappearing fields, my guess is that these are the ones that were moved from other tabs to the one with the required fields. The flavor was not yet able to complete the tab caching and so these fields will not be displayed until the required field(s) are populated. In such case, the tab caching indicator will be red.\n\nI cannot offer a good solution to this issue other than not to cache/merge tabs with required fields.\n\nTo know it for sure what's going on, the actual flavor should be analyzed but these would be my first thoughts.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

I presume this is what you refer to - wondered why you said \"in Business Card\" in the title of your post.\n\nIf it is a problem in the view boxes ... look at the XSLT used in the view, found under Templates_SAP\n\nsapemployeenamexsl.xsl for Employee Name\n\nsappositionnamexsl.xsl for Position Name\n\nIn each XSLT look for the width attribute being set.\n\n```\n\n \n \n```\n\nRegards,\n\nStephen\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

Go to the BPC application server Start->All programs->SAP->BPC server 7.X. After that go to Options->define system user groups. there you configure the new domain that you want to work with. After you finish the domain configuration you only have to push the update button. Finally you have to enter to bpc Administrator and there the new domain that you configure will be avaliable.\n\n2.

AAPO118\n\nDiagnosis\n\n1. You tried to post a retirement to asset . You entered transaction type 0002, in which the 'retirement with revenue' indicator is set.\n\n2. You tried to transfer asset . You entered transfer variant 0002, which uses a transaction type for 'retirement with revenue' in at least one depreciation area.\n\nIn both cases, you are required to enter the revenue.\n\nProcedure\n\nThere are three options:\n\nEnter the revenue.\n\nEnter a depreciation area, from which the net book value is to be used as the revenue.\n\nCheck the the transfer variant.\n\nbut why we need to put revenue? if my original asset NBV is 200, acquisition value is 500, what is the figure I should put for revenue?\n\nHow to identify the asset with previous year acquisition and current year acquisition? any table or system report to show this?\n\nRequest clarification before answering.\n\nYou must be a registered user to add a comment.

. All of this creates an HTML 4.01 document that looks like this:\n\nA few CSS rules later, I came up with this.\n\nI’ve modeled it after the way .md files look on github.com, using only system fonts. I’ve made the line length narrower and used semantic HTML tags. In the end, the HTML 5 document actually had a smaller file size than the original HTML 4.01 document, at only 5.57 kilobytes versus 6.16 kilobytes. Okay, the size difference isn’t that drastic, but I’m trying to prove that HTML can be both pretty and lightweight.\n\nI’m not saying my readme file is better; I just wanted to take this rare opportunity, as an artist pleb with no programming experience, to improve Blender in a really negligible way. So negligible, in fact, that I’m not even touching any of Blender’s code. No one reads readme files, anyway.\n\nThanks for letting me pretend to be helping!\n\nBibliography\n\nhttps://baymard.com/blog/line-length-readability\n\nhttps://practicaltypography.com/bulleted-and-numbered-lists.htmlThere’s always been one for each version since at least 2.3x from well over a decade ago.\n They also came with a 1 page pdf quick start guide.

Have an beaching day!First of all put a frame counter in, to make it easier for people to reference the frames which need work. Also, the reason the mov format (or other quicktime compatible files) are preferable is that people will need to be able to step through and examine your work frame by frame. Quicktime is generally the most popular player for this…\n As for the animation itself, at this stage you should be blocking - so use constant interpolation between keyframes. You want to define the actions clearly before considering breakdowns - Interpolation should be applied only when you are ready to start polishing, using it any sooner will simply confuse things.\n As for the animation itself, the weight of the character does not appear to have been considered. Throughout the standing motion the centre of gravity is not where it should be, which makes the character appear weightless. The shifting of weight during the throw also needs to be emphasised. Initial focus should be on correcting the weight problems, and defining the key poses and establishing your lines of action.\n Biggest thing - keep it old-school. CG animation might be a fancy version of stop-motion, but all the old 2D fundamentals still apply.\n Hope this helps.\nFirst of all put a frame counter in, to make it easier for people to reference the frames which need work.

The only diffrence is that PC linux has optimized everything for this mode!! everything works Verry fast.(if you have lots of RAM). This is IDEAL for data recovery, especially for systems with only 1 cd-r/rw drive, it will free it up so you can burn backups! Right out of the box you get the ability to read your Windows NTFS partition, so if windows ever fails, you can pop in and grab your important data, and Burn to a cd/DVD!\n the full minime install is around 500megs… this leaves you 1 and 1/2 gigabytes to fill with your favorite applications. If you keep your Hard drive install under 2 gigabytes you can make a live CD to back up everything. (under 6 for a live DVD) (hint: don’t install the HW accelerated drivers if you plan on using the live CD at cybercafe, or distribute it to your friends. Blender will run without HW accelerated drivers in some cases. Be sure to include the linux Static version as well as the dynamic version… this way you are sure not to be without blender!\n I recommend this distro to ANYONE! it is very simple and easy to understand, fast, and lots of cool applications!! what is not in the packaging system can be installed Via RPM in most cases. And like Ubuntu, all you need is 1 package (that links to about 25 other packages) to compile things… they make this really easy on the non-programmer. This Distro is VMware friendly too, you can run live CD mode directly from the ISO, from a live CD, or a Hard drive install.\n If you are shopping for a distro, you might want to grab this tiny(200-300meg!)

But given this case, it seems like the lowest and highest values of the noise texture were “stretched” to fit the 0-1 range, thus making the interpolation “proportional” to the values of the Factor input, instead of the absolute 0-1 interval.

This is why factor behaves exactly like opacity in photoshop.\n When you plug a texture into the factor slot, it has the same effect as an alpha mask. It looks at each pixel in the factor image and mixes the two colors according to the brightness of that pixel (the darker the pixel is, the more the resulting pixel color will favor the color in the first slot).\n When you plug a value of 1 into a slot, it treats the color in the slot as white because its assuming you want the full value for each color channel (255, 255, 255), so it’s only natural that you can only get an output of white no matter what you use for the factor in this situation. You would have to change the value of the color in one of the slots to get something different.\n\n 3 Likes\nzanzio\n(zanzio)\n2\nI’m a bit confused about why you felt you’d get any result other than white, but I can explain how the mixRGB node works.\n The factor simply determines how to blend the two color inputs together. 0 means that it’s only using the first slot, 1 means it’s only using the second slot, and values in between blend the two colors by that amount (for example .5 would evenly mix the two colors).

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# The \"Natural Fit\"\n\nIt has been a busy few days in the world of the rant (see Mr. Grimes' Farewell) and reply (see Grumpy Grimes and Scott Swigart Responds to Richard Grimes). Now this is a topic that I have a bit of passion for.\n\nI am not going to restate the very good arguments by Scott and Duncan, I would simply encourage you to spend a few minutes reading them if you have not already. I would like to address a different point from Mr. Grimes, and one I have heard before:\n\n> \n\n\"C# is the natural language to use for .NET and there was no need for VB.NET\"\n\nFirst, every time I hear someone say this they just move on without explaining themselves or providing any support. What exactly does \"the natural language\" mean?\n\nYes, there are a few things that are possible with the CLR that you can't do with VB but you can with C#.\n\nOne that I hear often is /// comments. To me this does not justify the time it would take for a Visual Basic developer to forget the entire language that they know and learn C#. In fact it is possible with a free add in and will be native in Visual Studio 2005. What few things VB can not do that C# can are often times not an issue for the vast majority of Visual Basic developers.\n\nThese few things are pretty much brushed off the table in Visual Studio 2005. As Paul Vick says in his blog today, \"But the point is that with the release of Whidbey, VB will finally be fully caught up in terms of supporting .NET...\".\n\nMaybe by \"the natural language\" they mean that lots of people at Microsoft develop in C#. I have heard this said before to explain why you should just jump to C#. This statement is very true. Why, because most Microsoft developers have a C++ background and C# is a natural upgrade path for them just as VB.NET is a natural upgrade path for a Visual Basic developer. As a point of fact also there are Visual Basic developers working at Microsoft, myself being one of them.\n\nIf you figure C# is the natural language because that what a lot of Microsoft developers use lets just run that out into other ideas:\n\nMost Microsoft developers make commercial software not internal enterprise applications. Does that mean you should quit your job working for a company as a developer?\n\nLarge amounts of Microsoft developers write operating systems, does that mean that operating systems are the natural product for developers?\n\nGranted, these is a bit extreme but my point is that what Microsoft developers develop in is a choice that makes the most business sense for the products and conditions they are working under. The choice between VB and C# is about just that, what makes the most sense in YOUR environment based on YOUR developers and THEIR experience not what makes sense at Microsoft.\n\nLet's apply this \"Natural Language\" idea to other topic. Burger King sells lots of Whoppers. The Whopper comes with beef by default. Now I like a good hamburger ever now and then but some times I just want a chicken sandwich. If I order a chicken Whopper does that mean it is not the natural fit for a Whooper and I shouldn't do it?\n\nNo, a Whopper is to pieces of bread, some lettuce and a bit of sauce with some meat in the middle (IMHO a pretty good taste too). What that meat is in the middle is up to you, it can be beef, chicken or nothing if you don't eat meat.\n\nEat the Whooper of your choice and use the language that makes sense to you. Stop worry about what someone else thinks is more natural between the two slices of bread.\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nFebruary 25, 2005\n\nGood post. Since I started with .Net a couple of years ago I've only found one case where I had problems translating between the two languages and that was integer overflow in C# which in my opinion is a poor programming practice anyway. I've been with the BASIC language since I learned it on the Apple ][E and my Commodore64 and now love VB.Net. I think the two languages are pretty much the same, really, anyway. Drop the Dim, move the type to the front and add a semi-colon. Get rid of End X and use braces instead. Most everything's the same. The MSIL's almost exactly the same, too except for the extra variable declaration we get to support legacy people not using Return.* Anonymous\n\nFebruary 25, 2005\n\nI think you maybe applying your own idea to what he meant by \"natural language\". I don't think he was saying it was the natural language for .net because a lot of people in Microsoft use it. However, I probably shouldn't be speaking for him.\n\nI do agree with him though that maybe VB.Net shouldn't have been built. My guess is that the learning curve for a VB developer to move to VB.NET vs. C# is minimal (just syntactical). The largest hurdle by far is the .NET API and conceptual (e.g. inheritance and polymorphysm.)\n\nUnlike other languages like Prolog, Perl, Python, VB.Net doesn't offer really anything from the language perspective that would be missing from C# I think.\n\nIf Microsoft just built C# and not VB.NET, we wouldn't have these strange API documentation everywhere where there is C# and VB.Net sample code for everything. Eventually, VB devs would learn that C# is not C++ and the hurdle is easier and a lot would make the jump eventually.* Anonymous\n\nFebruary 25, 2005\n\nMy thoughts exactly. VB.NET seems to be potrayed very often as a poor cousin or C#, I quite resent this myself. Having moved from ASP 3.0 to VB.NET for developing web applications, I find it much easier and intuitive to develop in VB.NET with virtually no learning curve (except for the innards of OOP). I can program in C# but see no need to learn the language in depth. If I find any code snippets in C#, I translate these into VB.NET and things work equally well. The lack of the /// comments and automatic XML documentation generation in VB.NET is in my opinion the most shallow argument in favour of C#. In the end it boils down to personal preference. I look forward to VS 2005 when the languages come closer in terms of feature set.* Anonymous\n\nFebruary 25, 2005\n\nYou are missing the point the complaint isn't about whether VB.NET is a better language or not than C#. The problem is that VB.NET is not an upgrade of VB classic but a replacement.\n\nThere are so many changes in forms, graphics, and languague let along all the nifty new things that the choice is wide open if you choose to go on to .NET.\n\nVB.NET doesn't help me with my existing VB classic app and when I do need to use .NET it doesn't really matter which of the two I am going to use.\n\nWhat I need is a VBClassic.NET that allows me to run VB6 using the .NET framework. If you can talk about Ruby, and ML being ported to .NET and produce IL code there is absolutely no reason to support the syntax and setup of VB6.* Anonymous\n\nFebruary 25, 2005\n\nI made it a point not to wade into the VB 6.0 and VB.NET debate right now. Duncan and Scott address that issue in their blogs so I did not feel the need to readdress the issue. I instead just wanted to focus on the \"Natural Language\" comment that I hear often.* Anonymous\n\nFebruary 26, 2005\n\nThe comment has been removed* Anonymous\n\nMarch 02, 2005\n\nC# was developed specifically for .NET therefore I see it as the natural .NET language. VB was adapted to fit within .NET and because of that, it is very akward in some aspects, even for VB6 developers.* Anonymous\n\nMarch 02, 2005\n\nA good related post is from Paul Vick at http://www.panopticoncentral.net/archive/2005/03/02/7762.aspx. Paul talks about how none of the VB 6.0 (or prior) runtimes and code was written in VB but how sections of the .NET framework, and even more of the .NET 2.0 framework are written in VB.NET.* Anonymous\n\nMarch 05, 2005\n\nThe comment has been removed* Anonymous\n\nMarch 06, 2005\n\nThe comment has been removed* Anonymous\n\nMarch 07, 2005\n\nAnd they wonder why the VB community is so fragile, we've now been upgraded to the position where we can be assaulted from both C# on one side and VB6 on the other.\n\nDespite all the talk about how .NET breaks their minds and their codes I haven't seen and comprehensive examples of this negative productivity.\n\nWhat is the -true vb path-? I don't see too many apocalyptic changes to VB only that there is MORE of it in .NET. What is it that you are doing with VB6 that you can't with VB7? Is it the default form instances? the array bounds? ByVal as default instead of ByRef? Can someone hand me some real deep answers?* Anonymous\n\nJune 11, 2009\n\nPingBack from http://castironbakeware.info/story.php?title=brad-mccabe-s-weblog-the-natural-fit",

This uses a sample set of wrappers we've developed which we're calling FSharpChart. This was inspired by the LChart sample started by Luca Bolognese. These are thin F# wrappers over the charting types in the System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting namespace.\n\nIn FSharpChart. we've used a number of interesting F# techniques to get the design to scale to the full set of .NET 4.0 charting controls. This is one of the reasons we're releasing this sample - to show interesting F# design techniques, as well as to light up useful .NET 4.0 functionality with F# 2.0 in Visual Studio 2010.\n\nFor example:\n\nopen FSharp.Charting\n\n[ for f in 1.0 .. 0.1 .. 10.0 -> f, sin (f * 2.0) + cos f ]\n\n|> Chart.Line\n\ngives the chart below. Many more samples are shown in the documentation,\n\nThe sample itself is interesting from a number of persepctives\n\n* Charts display automatically in F# interactive when you evaluate an expression of \"chart\" type\n\n.* There are numerous interesting F# coding techniques displayed. We'll walk through some of those in future blog posts.\n* The same basic shape of charting controls is supported by ASP.NET. This sample doesn't wrap those, but we may do that in future versions.\n\nDon\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nApril 01, 2011\n\nThis charting library is extremely cool!

By working with Java technology it inspired me to learn ASP.NET MVC. I really like the idea behind MVC and it is not a new subject for me.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nThere is a lot of hype around ASP.NET MVC but there does not seem to be a lot of real world results. The lead architect at my company has been using a custom ASP.NET MVC framework for new projects. So far in this framework, every project has run over on time and the clients are not happy with the functionality of the sites. Our ASP.NET webforms framework seems to be quicker to develop in as well as have better functional results. I am not against MVC, I would just like to see some success stories before I invest my time into it.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nI've build a couple demo sites for presentations based on ASP.NET MVC. Many of my thoughts are documented on my blog. Microsoft is doing an impressive job listening to the community and making this a product for everyone. I definitely commend you on those efforts. As for documentation, it seems pretty complete. I have difficulty finding information/presecription on when (and how) to write custom route constraints. All in all, you guys are doing some excellent work in this space! Keep it up!* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\n@.NET Dev Guy: \"...does not seem to be a lot of real world results\" It's still in beta, so no, there aren't a lot of real world results. Be patient, they will come as the framework matures. \"...webforms framework seems to be quicker to develop in\" It's always quicker to develop in what you are familiar with, it's a matter of learning MVC as well as you know web forms when the benefits really come. Just my 2¢, completely unasked for :).* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nI'm waiting until it is officially released. Why jump into building a site when MVC stuff is changing all of the time?! When it is officially released, I plan on sitting down and learning it. Exciting!* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nLet's not forget that asp.net MVC isn't even in beta yet. In my opinion, it's much to early to use this in enterprise solutions. Personally, I'm not going to develop anything until at least beta-release. Until then, I will read the blogs and tutorials, so that I understand the basics when time is. Can't wait :-)* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nI have released 6 MVC websites. The only difficult part is when a new preview is released and things change.\n\n* MVC was exactly what I wanted.\n* Not too many problems other than when things change between previews (4 - 5)\n* Yup\n* Haven't used unit testing so far.\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nWe are using ASP.NET MVC on our upcoming startup valid.net. MVC provided everything we really could have hoped for. We were looking for a much more flexible and customizable solution for our web app than traditional forms web apps provide. We are using lots of ajax to build a very quick and clean interface. For me, the MVC framework has made the UI experience much better. Collaboration with the engineers and the web people has been better also. The documentation for MVC has been adequate. We have relied mainly on the blogs (scottgu, etc.) for getting started information. We definitely utilized the unit testing. I have enjoyed the ability to really test out the \"backend\" of the website before the web dev and design team gets to work. This way there are no surprises for them and we are building a more stable product early on. I am still kind of unsatisfied with the partial rendering. I feel like in the recent previews have been a bit of a step back from before. I was playing around with the ComponentControllers before and I liked the idea. The initial implementation was a bit cumbersome, but I think the idea had merit. The partials in the latest preview are lacking for what I envision partial views to be. I would like to see some way to have completely separate partial views set in the pages. I would like to see some sort of partial view that doesn’t depend on the full view or the controller for the model data. This way I could place these partials on various views of the site and have them be completely independent from the main controller and model.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nHi, here is an example of a website I am building at this moment using MVC Framework: http://mytpi.naivn.biz (will be uploaded to www.mytpi.com soon) It's a pleasure to work with this technology, really. Had no any problems with it.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nCareful, you'll offend the alt.net whiners - they take a black and white viewpoint towards their technology/religion of choice. You are either for or against it. I find it amusing how some of them talk about webforms like they've been completely unablet to get projects out the door these last few years. I'm with you though, I need to see some real world success before I make a business case to change what works.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nMVC is changing too much to invest real money in it. It IS worth learning from a conceptual stand point. Once MVC becomes a REAL part of .Net (4.0 perhaps?) and not some (admittedly pleasant and fun to use) side-show, it'll get more interest and you'll see more real-world applications built using it. For me specifically, since 99% of my work is done in SharePoint (MOSS, not WSS), I eagerly await Microsoft's adoption \"IN HOUSE* of MVC so I can freely use it for things like custom applications that use the SharePoint Businesss Data Catalog (BDC) to perform two-way query/updates of data that is surfaced within SharePoint by BDC. As long as MVC is and \"island\" and not integrated within Microsoft's applications such as SharePoint, it will remain a pleasant curiosity (at least for me).* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nI've work with Jakarta Struts, the other MVC framework, and was not impressed. I don't like the idea of placing server side tags on the web page like classic ASP spaghetti code. The fact that it's more testable is not a good enough reason to go with MVC. I know there are other reasons, such as \"Separation of Concerns\", but ASP.NET is quicker to develop and have better functionality. You can also make a case that ASP.NET is more OO than MVC because each controls on the page is treated like an object with properties, methods, and events.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nI've always had problems using usual web forms, maybe one of them was the code produced which was ugly and very big, producing 20KB of code for a small page for example. It made designing much easier, more control on the produced markup, at least for me. The most significant problem was hosting problems, as IIS doesn't treat the virtual directory as a real application, which isn't MVC's problem, although it doesn't make a big problem. I haven't found any complete reference for MVC, forcing me to explore the features via team blogs, or reading the source code myself. That may be the reason it's not much popular. I've ported an existing webforms project to an MVC one for my university, and I'm very happy with the results at reg.shahedrobotic.ir (which is in my native language).* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\n@.net dev guy sounds like an implementation problem rather than technology.. of course the webforms projects do better when you have a team of .net engineers that have multiple years of experience working with the framework vs. brand new mvc-in-.net with a few months of use behind it?* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nI am not a developer but i am learning and developing my own website. From asp.net 2.0 to asp.net 3.5 I was having a little difficulties deciding which method I should use for cross pages variables so I came across with MVC Preview 3, learned a bit of routing and viewdata concepts and now i have my site almost 90% translated to mvc style coding. Reading the unit testing I thought i will do my own way of testing with sample data than spending time learning how to do proper unit testing. I find it hard in MVC to have multiple submit buttons in the same form. For example you have submit form button and you also have upload picture button in same form, you want to save form when you hit 'upload picture' then post back to same page (I think mvc preview 5 may have addressed this already). The viewdata is good for passing data from controller to view page but passing the same data to another page or posting back to the same page requires a bit of coding to return the same data. I think if MVC team can improve passing data to multiple pages until you 'release' the data will help to simplify cross pages data.

At the end of every project, there are deliverables. Like .NEt Dev Guy said, I have yet to see any MVC project hit those deliverables. I think it's just Hype (sort of like LINQ), great with some of the smaller applications, but when you're working on an application with 80+ code projects in it, working with custom factories and reflection up the wazoo, it just doesn't fit the bill.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nAbout nine months ago I decided to finally make the switch from classic ASP to ASP.NET, but I could not get my mind around all the server-side stuff and postbacks. Then I stumbled upon MVC, and hoped this was the answer. Now, nine months later, I have yet to do anything with MVC other than mess with the ready-to-run demos. After reading countless blogs and watching innumerable videos, I still have not grasped it, or Dynamic Data for that matter. These environments are so esoteric and obscure that it must have been by design. I wonder whether the the people 'responsible' for these offerings have ever encountered a real-world development requirement, in other words one that requires more than just Customer and Order tables. In the meantime, if I have done anything productive in the last nine months, it has been in good ol' classic ASP.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nWe are planning to develop a larger web app using ASP.net MVC and creating an infrastructure framework for this.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 08, 2008\n\nhttp://weblogs.asp.net/mikebosch/archive/2008/05/05/gallery-of-live-asp-net-mvc-sites.aspx* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 09, 2008\n\nLoL at all the whingers. IMO, if you don't like ASP.NET MVC because of what it offers, then please stay away and frolik in your WebForms world of pain and problems. I especially love the comments about 'WebForms is quicker to program with'. So lol. Enjoy the support-and-maintenance problems. Back to the topic -> I'm re-learning how to rewrite our projects properly with MVC, IoC, Repos Pattern, etc ... and by the time i've tested each of these things out, the Beta or RTM will be out and i'll fnd time to port. All new projects will be MVC from now on -- no questions about it. Bring it on, I say .. and finally we'll all start to get closer to making better code that's more maintanable to change. lol @ those who just don't understand and complain about change.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 09, 2008\n\nThe comment has been removed* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 09, 2008\n\nAnyone who is pushing classic asp is CLEARLY in need of some serious schooling. MVC is not a replacement for WebForms - just a different style. WebForms are very Easy in concept. I have several sites built with using them and that's great. Have yet to learn MVC fully - been reading here and there and so far, it's different - but what I'm looking for is if it will make my web developer life easier... does it make sense to use it in a real world project other than it just being a newer piece of tech... If not, back to webforms* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 10, 2008\n\nI'm finding myself, still not stepping into looking at the framework, I'm scared that investing time in it, and having to keep up to date with changes in each preview release is going to cause me to pull out all my hair. I just wish it's more set in stone, and some resources online, are examples targetting older previews, with things which might have changed, I wish some of these older articles which aren't relevant to the current releases, cleaned up.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 10, 2008\n\nI'm skipping ASP.NET MVC because I just do not like working with HTML...

In fac 98% are lucky to solve daily problems in time without bugs. I would suggest Microsft to improve ASP.NET with more controls, better support for AJAX (and Toolkit) engange in Silverlight which is really the future. The sad thing is that great ASP.NET 2.0 have not been improved to ASP.NET 3.5.

I have never liked web forms, thought there was too much work being done by me to get simple things to work. I'm finding that the MVC framework, even in this early stage, is a lot easier to work with.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 27, 2008\n\nI have been working with the MVC pattern for a while now. I do not think this pattern used with ASP.NET is the answer. Webforms is much easier and quicker to program and actually get things done in ASP.NET. Microsoft should be investing in webforms.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nOctober 13, 2008\n\nCommercial site using MVC is possible because commercial sites are always stepped down from the Intranet applications. Commercial sites use more primitive technologies with a much slower pace of development because it has to cater to a much wide array of browsers and audience. But for data centric LOB intranet applications, ASP.NET MVC is definitely an overkill. It will increase budget for development and generate a whole lot more plumbing code the developers themselves have to maintain. With webforms, you don't have to maintain the code for controls like gridview, datagrid, etc. Both webform and MVC use divide and conquer to solve a complex development issue. The difference is that with MVC you have to have a big team with average experience and talent to divide and conquer while with webform, you divide and conquer with a team of highly skilled experts (developers from Microsoft and other ISVs, much more experienced and talented than the average enterprise developers. I would like to bet that your MVC projects will run at much higher cost than the Webform projects.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nOctober 17, 2008\n\nReal developers want MVC and really like the new flexibility it provides over web forms. Business users, or programmers with less \"wide\" ranging skills will continue to prefer web forms. Anyway, I've got an open source blog engine on codeplex: http://codeplex.com/blogsvc or http://blogsvc.net* \n\nAnonymous\n\nOctober 20, 2008\n\nProbably real developers just want to play with all kinds of toys, don't care about the deadline when the project should be delivered. Your profile of real developer is probably more or less as scripter, html and javascript or better php. About \"wide\" ranging skills? I don't think web form advocates are any less wider than the MVC lovers. It's all about priority and productivity. Asp.net MVC at this stage can only be called a toy compared with Web Form.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 06, 2009\n\nI have used MVC to build my Real Estate and property search engine http://www.baseestate.com.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJune 26, 2009\n\nThis site uses MVC and Silverlight and we are very happy with the results* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 29, 2009\n\nBeen coding and maintaining WebForms for 7 years. ASP.NET was like a gruesome trainwreck if you have ever used any decent web tech like PHP or Ruby. I despised it and was convinced I would never be interested in it unless forced to. Started learning MVC a couple months back. Seriously, this is the greatest thing to come out of Microsoft since .NET itself. It's beautiful. Everything about it is so elegant and clean it makes web programming as much fun as Winforms. I am certain the people who wouldn't prefer it would be people posing as programmers so they can make a nice middle class income. Real programmers would absolutely love it and you will find with just a little patience it is easier to pick up than PHP or Ruby. For the whingers who complained you can't do anything complicated with it, you have to be kidding.

And this is a cool job.\n\nExecutive Recruiting Researcher\n\nEssentially, this role will help conduct in-depth searches to find the best and brightest candidate the industry has to offer. In the first instance, therefore, this position is responsible for the requisition-oriented research function for the Executive Recruiting team. As an Executive Researcher this role will build and maintain a competitive intelligence database, qualifying and extracting information from multiple data sources (corporate/in house databases, web research, trade shows, diversity organizations, professional associations, etc) to provide crisp candidate target lists for focused req-based recruitment. This role will also maintain general industry, candidate and company databases, library information, and develop highly efficient methodologies of extracting and automating access to information. Similarly, it will manage outside research vendors and budgets, and make 'build/buy' decisions about what should be performed in-house vs. outside, and managing those projects to completion. Critical thinking skills will be used to work with the other members of the Executive Recruiting team to create effective and targeted candidate sourcing strategies.\n\nIt is important to be extremely web-savvy with significant web research techniques in addition to seasoned phone research skills. To find many of these candidates, one must have the ability to think outside of the box. This role will be responsible for producing new search methodologies, analyzing their value to recruiting efforts, and making recommendations as to whether or not Microsoft would benefit from investing in them for the future.\n\nQualified candidates will have strong experience in sourcing techniques. Similarly, they must also have strong presentation skills and the ability to present complex information in a clear and concise manner to an executive-level audience. This is vital to the success of the team as well as the long-term success of Microsoft recruiting. Candidates must possess strong analytical skills, the ability to make quick decisions, an extreme attention to detail and a relentless desire to seek out the best candidates. At least six years of recruiting/research experience, including more than three years of Internet recruiting is required for consideration; experience at the executive level and at an Executive Search firm is highly preferred. Candidates must be proficient in applicant tracking systems (web-based or database) and multiple office technology tools (e.g. Excel, Access, etc) A strong working knowledge of HTML, and a BS/BA is preferred.\n\nThe Req#/Job Code is: 214281.\n\nApply here and also please send your resume to me (heathham@microsoft.com) so I can forward it directly to the hiring team.\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 14, 2008\n\nPingBack from http://geeklectures.info/2008/01/14/executive-recruiting-researcher-role/* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 14, 2008\n\nSee this is exactly where recruitment is going.

The first path is the traditional one a company of our size starts to follow. This may be tricky for MS, because of the anti-trust scrutiny we are under. But you can imagine for example if MS had bought DEC a few years ago (and I'm not suggesting that would have been a good acquisition, just the size of opportunity I'm talking about).\n\nThe other option seems to be gaining steam. We will be accused of outsourcing (I saw an article that lumped us with Nike, as if we were opening software sweatshops in SE Asian slums), but in our case the point is to get more good talent, not cheap labor. These international centers could also help us better understand international customers and business etc.",

I thought of exploring this area more while I was researching something about NFS server.\n\nI started with looking for the utilities (obviously, Windows-based ones) which can set this information for me. My search ended quickly with the chown.exe and chgrp.exe which you can install with Interix/SUA Base Utilities.\n\nUsing Process Monitor (replacement of Filemon and Regmon utilities) revealed that group information gets stored on the file system with an IRP_MJ_SET_SECURITY request -\n\nThe other interesting fact is this request originating from the POSIX subsystem (psxss.exe) which makes sense because chown.exe and chgrp.exe utilities are POSIX subsystem utilities.\n\nThis KB Article says -\n\n> \n\nIn the Windows NT and Windows 2000 NTFS file system, each file also has an owner and a primary group. The primary group of a file is not used by the Win32 subsystem, but is present for programs that make use of the POSIX subsystem. When a file is created, the user who created the file becomes its owner and that user's primary group becomes the file's primary group. Access Control Entries (ACEs) are then added to the DACLs to assign permissions.\n\nThat makes it clear that none of other utilities I tried to use, could set this information because they were basically Win32 binaries and Win32 subsystem does not, in anyway, uses this information.\n\nSo the best practice would be to set correct primary groups for your users and then use Interix/SUA chown.exe and chgrp.exe utilities to manage them the way you want them to be seen by your UNIX clients.\n\nAdditional Note: The ls.exe and chmod.exe are other utilities which can help you do things the UNIX way.\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJune 22, 2007\n\nI believe you can also use the \"/setprimarygroup\" command in Microsoft's \"subinacl.exe\" Win32 utility.

Another major factor in creating a happy and efficient development team is putting the effort into designing good build processes. There are many variations on a theme when it comes to building SharePoint 2007 projects but I thought I would write down an overview of how we do it so as to “add to the mix”!\n\nWhy not just use the Visual Studio Extensions for SharePoint?\n\nVisual Studio Extensions for SharePoint\n\nWe looked at using these around Feb 2007 when they were still in Community Release and had a bad experience. They were very buggy (ok fair enough at the time) but most importantly we had little control over the SharePoint Solution Files (WSPs) being generated. We could neither structure the Feature directories the way that we wanted nor name the Features the way we wanted. The build was very much “all or nothing” i.e. a full build was performed each time, along with deployment to the server. In addition, the build process was very hard to debug when something went wrong. There’s a relevant discussion thread on SUGUK talking about these kinds of issues.\n\nSo with the need for a high degree of control over our WSP files and the desire to create an efficient build we set about designing our own...\n\nPretty quickly we decided that it would be easier to manage and probably most logical to functionally separate our projects into:\n\n* WebParts – WebPart code and resource files\n* SiteTemplate – Everything CAML based\n* Components – 3rd party assemblies and resource files.\n* Webservices – Webservice asmx and supporting assemblies.\n\nEach of these projects would result in the generation of a corresponding WSP file ready to deploy to the development server. In this article I will explain the build process for the SiteTemplate and WebParts project because they demonstrate two slightly different techniques which can then be reused elsewhere.\n\nSite Template Build\n\nFig. (1)\n\nWhen laying out SharePoint Features I find it most logical to replicate how the Feature will eventually appear when it is deployed on to the Front End Webserver in the “12 Hive”. Fig.(1) shows an example list, Aeroplanes, which has the usual xml files you’d expect for a List Feature.\n\nOn a successful build of the project the Post-build.bat file is called from the Post-build events (under Project Properties). The reason there is a separate file is because I hate the nasty Post-build event editing window in Visual Studio! It’s just horrid. Seeing as the Post-build events need to be edited quite a bit, it’s much easier to have the file right there in your Project so you can just double click to get editing.\n\nThe Post-build.bat scripts the whole build process and in Fig.(1) I have documented pseudo code for each of the steps it goes through. I’ll detail the steps a bit more...\n\n* First up MakeCab.exe is used to generate a WSP file. A WSP is just a CAB file with a WSP extension. The MakeCabDirectives.ddf file is passed to the MakeCab.exe to define the WSP payload and so therefore lists the Feature xml files as well as the all important Manifest.xml.\n* If the WSP generation is successful then we move on, if it’s not we’ll see some error messages in the Visual Studio Output window.\n* The next steps remove any previously deployed versions of the WSP. Of course first time round these steps will fail because there will not be anything to remove.\n* Then we begin the deployment steps. First we deploy the WSP to the SharePoint Solution Store using STSADM. We then have the choice of how we deploy the WSP, in development I always deploy globally where possible. The final step of deployment is to activate Features on any specific development sites.\n* Inserting entries into web.config could be a requirement for many different SharePoint projects. However, we put all the modifications into the SiteTemplate project because it felt like the most sensible place to keep them (they have to go somewhere). We actually keep these modifications in an XML file (not shown in the diagram) and then apply them using the SharePoint Object Model as shown.\n* Finally we perform an iisreset in case any of the CAML changes require it.\n\nWebParts Build\n\nFig.(2)\n\nThere are actually two projects which make up CMH.WebPart development, CMH.WebParts and CMH.WebPartsWSP. The former contains all of the WebPart code and resource files, the latter contains the files for packaging as a WSP. We’ll look at CMH.WebpartsWSP first...\n\n* CMH.WebpartsWSP is dependent upon CMH.WebParts, so first of all the build will compile the assembly CMH.WebParts.dll.\n\nThe CMH.WebPartsWSP Post-build.bat will then run...\n\n* Again we use MakeCab.exe to generate a WSP, this time it contains the WebPart assemblies and resource files.\n* We then retract and delete any existing solutions using STSADM.\n* Next we add the WSP to the solution store using STSADM and then deploy the solution to a known application, also using STSADM.\n* Finally, for good measure, we perform an iisreset.\n\nThe building of CMH.WebPartsWSP represents a “full” build, replacing all files associated with the WebParts. It’s worth noting that the Manifest.xml contains instructions for SharePoint to update its Safe Control list and Code Access Security to facilitate the running of the WebPart. So the WSP deployment really does contain everything the WebPart will need.\n\nThe only downside to a full WSP build and deploy is that it can take quite a long time. This is why we have the separate CMH.WebParts project. Once a full WSP build has been done we can then just replace the CMH.WebParts.dll in the SharePoint bin in order to make changes to the code. WebPart development mostly involves a code-change-then-test cycle, so for the majority of rebuilds all we need to update is the assembly. So, in the CMH.WebParts Post-build.bat we copy the assembly from the output target to the SharePoint bin. To test the changes all we need to do is refresh the WebPart page.\n\nFig.(2) also shows a QuickDeploy.bat script. This is not called as part of the build process but instead a developer can optionally run it in order to copy resource files directly to the 12 Hive (or resources directory). It’s a quick way to get resource changes into a SharePoint site for testing e.g. changes to Javascript files without having to go through a full build. There is one downside, when you subsequently try to retract the solution SharePoint may not be able to retract these files because it can see they have been modified.\n\nOne other useful thing we do in CMH.WebParts Post-build.bat is use sn.exe to output the Public Key Token for the signed CMH.WebParts.dll. This is useful because the Public Key Token is needed when writing the Manifest.xml file as well as .webpart files for each WebPart.\n\nThere you go! Some SharePoint build processes. Whilst not totally original I think they contain some nice ideas and have certainly proven to work well during the past 6 months of our project.\n\nJust recently I was referred to:\n\nhttps://www.codeplex.com/sptemplateland\n\nWhen I have time I would like to incorporate these scripts to take the manual work out of writing .DDF files. You may want to check them out.\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJune 13, 2009\n\nAWESOME!!!

Why?\n\nThere's a variety of reasons I can think of for why call data may not be collected and all are relatively easy to check.\n\nFirst, you need to have performance counters enabled. The simplest way to do this is through configuration by setting the performanceCounters attribute to All in the diagnostics section. There are a few other performance counter scopes, some of which don't include the data you may be looking for.\n\nSecond, you need to have your application run long enough to collect data. During shutdown you may encounter races between the performance counters being freed and the remaining work being processed. Data isn't collected if the performance counters are not available.\n\nThird, you need to have infrastructure support for collecting performance counter data. In a partially trusted environment you may not have sufficient permissions to perform management, logging, or performance counter operations.\n\nFourth, you need to have an operation that takes long enough to measure. You can't rely on getting high-precision timing measurements. Performance counters use cheap sampling methods to avoid interfering with application execution. If your application requires better than millisecond accuracy to collect data, then performance counters may be the wrong mechanism for measuring performance.",

If it's uninstalled, its customizations are no longer present. I would venture to guess that this is how anyone would expect UI extensibility to work.\n\nIn Office 2003, you had to take a few extra steps to make sure your add-in behaved in this reasonable manner. As a first line of defense, you created controls as temporary , ensuring that they would not be persisted beyond the current session. If you changed anything built-in, you needed to write code to clean up your changes on uninstall. A tricky task, because you didn't know what other add-ins, or the user, had done to customize the UI. You could set various protection bits to shield yourself from modification by users, and you could call \".reset\" on built-in toolbars to get them back to a default state. But you might have just reset another add-ins customizations on a built-in toolbar. And how does the end user get that add-in back? Perhaps by reinstalling the add-in?\n\nIn many ways, the CommandBars OM is a free-for-all. Any add-in can show up, change the UI (whether built-in or from another add-in), and then disappear. In Office 2003, these changes are persisted in Word and Excel in the Normal template and the Excel11.xlb file. As many of you know, the quickest way to reset your UI in these applications is to delete Normal.dot or Excel11.xlb. And for those of you that didn't know that, there's a chance that you're harboring UI customizations in those files from add-ins you uninstalled long ago.\n\nWe wanted to move to a model where solutions didn't have to worry about what other add-ins were doing--a model that didn't leave the user with a bunch of \"dead\" buttons cluttering the UI. And if we could pull it off, it would be nice if this played well with end-user customization. Sure, it was possible to author a well-behaved add-in with CommandBars, but it often involved a number of special steps, among them setting protection bits, and in the case of Word, using the CustomizationContext variable.\n\nSo we decided to move most persistence away from the application, and instead associate it with the add-ins and solutions. With RibbonX, add-ins provide Office with markup to customize the Ribbon, as you saw in last week's post. Since a solution's UI customizations are defined in XML, we can keep track of who's done what. For example, if we have three add-ins, each supplying markup to change the user interface, and add-in #2 gets uninstalled, we can remove its UI changes, because we know exactly what each add-in did. We do this in a manner transparent to developers--we've squarely taken on the burden of UI \"housekeeping.\"\n\nWith the UI as markup attached to solutions, we've also enabled a number of scenarios that were complicated or required extra code in Office 2003 to work properly. One of our favorite examples is document switching in Excel. In Excel 2003, you can attach a toolbar to a document. If you have two such documents open, with focus on one of them, you see both toolbars. As you switch between documents in Word 2003, however, the attached toolbars appear and disappear appropriately. If you wanted to get the same behavior in Excel, you would need to write code to show and hide the toolbars. In fact, if you ever want the attached toolbars to go away, even after the Excel workbook is closed, you need to write code--in Excel 2007, it just works as you would expect.\n\nWith Book 1 selected, there are no customizations present.\n\nWhen you select Book 2, the customizations magically appear, in this case, a custom tab, and a new group on the Sheet tab.\nRibbonX works with both COM and VBA solutions, and we have endeavored to make the model as similar as possible between the two. You can create both application-level and document-level solutions with this model. If you want to create an application-level solution--that is, UI customizations that are visible for all open documents, you can create a COM Add-In, a VBA Excel Add-in (.xlam), a VBA PowerPoint Add-in (.ppam) or a Word Global Template (.dotm). Document level solutions can be authored as individual documents: .docx, .xlsx, .pptx--or the matching macro-enabled formats.\n\nCOM Add-Ins\n\nCOM Add-ins come in many flavors, including C#, C++, VB6, and VB.Net. On load of a COM Add-in, Office asks for your customUI markup via a method on the new IRibbonExtensibility interface, and this markup gets applied to the Ribbon.\n\nVBA Solutions\n\nIf you have built a VBA-based solution, be it a document, an add-in, or global template, Office looks for the customUI part in your new file format document. Once found, the customUI gets applied to the Ribbon.\n\nSupport for the Quick Access Toolbar\n\nFor all RibbonX add-ins, the user is free to add controls to the Quick Access Toolbar by right-clicking on them. When the solution or document is gone, the control no longer appears on the Quick Access Toolbar. Of course, you don't need to write a single line of extra code to make this work--we've written those lines here at Microsoft. :)\n\nHello World group on the QAT\nDemand Loading\n\nRibbon Extensibility is also designed to support \"demand loading\" of COM Add-Ins. So if you set your COM Add-In as demand-loaded, on first boot, we get (and cache) your XML, and on subsequent boots, your add-in isn't loaded until someone clicks on one of your controls. This allows you to minimize your solution's impact on application boot. Of course, we clear the cache if your add-in is ever uninstalled, again, all transparent to you.\n\nLast month I had the pleasure of traveling to the UK for some visits with customers and partners. While gathering feedback and understanding customer scenarios, I had a chance to ride on the London Underground, a marvel of engineering, efficiency, and design. When in the Tube, I would often hear announcements like, \"There is a good service on the Jubilee Line,\" which meant that the Jubilee Line trains were on time, as one would expect. Well I'm proud to say that Office 2007 will also offer \"good service\" with regard to add-in UI customizations--that is, they will come and go as you expect.\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nMarch 23, 2006\n\nSavraj are you sure you went on the real London Underground? ;)\n\nOn a more serious note, the XML RibbonX concept sounds like it's really been thought about and should reduce add-in bloat... keep up the great work!* Anonymous\n\nMarch 23, 2006\n\nThose excel screenshots reminded me of the current state of the Excel MDI interface.

So as well as looking in the file for the markup, we'll also need a standard VBA entry point to provide the markup script from code. Perhaps a Workbook_GetCustomUI() method in the ThisWorkbook class (and equivalent in the other apps). That would be ignored by down-level versions, but called by Excel 2007 to allow us to provide the XML, if we want to stick with the binary file formats for compatibility.* Anonymous\n\nMarch 23, 2006\n\nCould you please explain why the Office team has choosen COM and VBA over .NET?\n\nI thought VB6 had to die because it relies on COM and now Office 2007 ships with a VBA version from 2003 and the new extensibility interface relies on COM.* Anonymous\n\nMarch 23, 2006\n\n\"Could you please explain why the Office team has choosen COM and VBA over .NET?\n\nI thought VB6 had to die because it relies on COM and now Office 2007 ships with a VBA version from 2003 and the new extensibility interface relies on COM. \"\n\nThey haven't.

The SQL Server error logs will log following errors:\n\nThe activated proc [dbo].[sp_sysmail_activate] running on queue msdb.dbo.ExternalMailQueue output the following: 'The service queue \"ExternalMailQueue\" is currently disabled.'\n\nAlong with this error you may also see following errors from Database Mail Logs:\n\nDate 10/25/2009 12:20:01 AM\n\nLog Database Mail (Database Mail Log)\n\nLog ID 456\n\nProcess ID 6532\n\nLast Modified 10/25/2009 12:20:01 AM\n\nLast Modified By abc\\xyz\n\nMessage\n\nException Information\n\nException Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Common.BaseException\n\nMessage: The read on the database failed.

Now to resolve the issue you may do following checks and implement the relevant plan:\n\nNOTE: You should follow the below steps only after applying the Windows hotfix given in KB 941105.\n\n1. Verify the version of MSXMLSQL.DLL under 90\\Shared folder. In my environment the version was 4035 because I was using SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3. It could be different in yours. The msxmlsql.dll version should be equivalent to the last updated patch or service pack you have installed.\n\n2. You could also use following script to verify MSXMLSQL.DLL is valid:\n\ndeclare @var1 int\n\ndeclare @var2 int\n\nexec @var2 = sp_xml_preparedocument @var1 output, 'Sumit'\n\nselect 'Return value from sp_xml_preparedocument is: ' , @var2\n\nselect * from openxml (@var1, '/abc', 2) with (Name varchar(20) 'name')\n\nexec @var2 = sp_xml_removedocument @var1\n\nselect 'Return value from sp_xml_removedocument is: ' , @var2\n\nIf the DLL is valid this will give you output like the following:\n\n--------------------------------------------- -----------\n\nReturn value from sp_xml_preparedocument is: 0\n\n(1 row(s) affected)\n\nName\n\n--------------------\n\nSumit\n\n(1 row(s) affected)\n\n-------------------------------------------- -----------\n\nReturn value from sp_xml_removedocument is: 0\n\n(1 row(s) affected)\n\nIf MSXMLSQL.DLL is not valid, you need to work towards resolving this and then proceed further.\n\n3. Once you know that MSXMLSQL.DLL is valid, then go ahead and delete the existing mail profile and recreate a new one. This will address your corrupted database mail profile if any.\n\nNow, it could be possible that even after implementing the above steps you will not be able to send emails and may encounter the errors like the following:\n\nTITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio\n\n------------------------------\n\nAn exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)\n\n------------------------------\n\nADDITIONAL INFORMATION:\n\nMail not queued. Database Mail is stopped. Use sysmail_start_sp to start Database Mail.

Run the following command from New Query Window:\n\nUse MSDB\n\nSelect count(*) from ExternalMailQueue\n\n2. If you see Non Zero output of the above statement, attempt to clean the queue using the below script:\n\nWe can use the following T-SQL to save all the unsent items and then cleanup the Mail Queue. In case any email needs to be resent, they can do so after DB Mail is working successfully:\n\nUse MSDB\n\nselect * from msdb.dbo.sysmail_unsentitems\n\nDisclaimer: When you run the below step it will clean all the emails that are queued in the ExternalMailQueue. Please do all necessary checks about the important emails in the queue before executing this step.\n\nUse MSDB\n\nALTER QUEUE ExternalMailQueue WITH STATUS = ON\n\nset nocount on\n\ndeclare @Conversation_handle uniqueidentifier;\n\ndeclare @message_type nvarchar(256);\n\ndeclare @counter bigint;\n\ndeclare @counter2 bigint;\n\nset @counter = (select count(*) from ExternalMailQueue)\n\nset @counter2=0\n\nwhile (@counter2<=@counter)\n\nbegin\n\nreceive @Conversation_handle = conversation_handle, @message_type = message_type_name from ExternalMailQueue\n\nset @counter2 = @counter2 + 1\n\nend\n\nOnce you are done with the above step check the status of the ExternalMailQueue again. This time it should return 0 records. You can also modify the LOOP, if you already know how many TOP N messages to cleanup.\n\n3. Then run following stored procedure:\n\nUse MSDB\n\nEXEC sysmail_start_sp\n\nThis SP will start Database Mail by starting the Service Broker objects that the external program uses.\n\n4. Now test the Database Mail and verify that emails are flowing across.\n\nDisclaimer: Please note that this is a specific scenario which we have experienced on one of the production systems. Please use this article only in cases where you encounter the specific error messages given in the article and when KB 941105 did not provide any relief. As I have written earlier, please do all necessary checks about the important emails in the queue before cleaning up the mail queue completely.\n\nI hope this will resolve the DB Mail issues!!\n\nSumit Sarabhai\n\nSE, Microsoft SQL Server\nReviewed by\n\nMukesh Nanda\n\nTL, Microsoft SQL Server\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJune 07, 2010\n\nNot all files were copied to the second node in my cluster install.

When you right click on a Visio shape you are given options that will specifically target that shape. From a developers point of view, yes you can customize this menu…in a number of different ways. For this article I want to focus on\n\nDefining Actions in the ShapeSheet\n\nThe ShapeSheet provides a developer with a powerful tools set for developing shape behavior. One of these behaviors is the ability to define Actions, which are your custom menu items that show up when you right click on a shape.\n\nDefining Actions can trigger the execution of formulas built into a shape to get the shape to do something, like in this simple example where we toggle the display of a value.\n\nRight click on the shape, choose our ‘Set to 20’ action and the formula that we created changes the value.\n\nRight click and set it back to 10.\n\nWe did this with two simple formulas in the ShapeSheet by adding an Action row and defining the Action formula which does the work, and the Menu formula which ensures the user is seeing the correct phrase in the menu when they right click.\n\nThis is good but what if we want to have this Action call into our code so that we can do some more complex things…no problem.\n\nWe need two things to make this happen. We need to setup our Action in the ShapeSheet to trigger a custom event and we need to setup a listener in our code to listen for this custom event.\n\nThe Action\n\nFor the Action row in the ShapeSheet we define the Menu formula and the Action formula just as we did before. In this case the Menu formula is just simple text which the user will see as a menu item when they click on our shape. The Action formula is a little more complex as we need Visio to inform our code that a user click this Action. RUNADDONWARGS is a special ShapeSheet function that allows us to call an add-on and pass it arguments. What you need to know here is that there is a built in add-on called QueueMarkerEvent which triggers a MarkerEvent to fire within the Application instance. If we combine the two, we can trigger this MarkerEvent to fire when the user clicks on our Action, passing us arguments that we may need to determine what to do within our code.\n\nThe formula that you see above looks like this:\n\nRUNADDONWARGS(\"QueueMarkerEvent\",\"/app=RMASample /args=DoSomething\")\n\nThe first parameter is the name of the add-on that we need to execute. The second parameter allows us to send along additional information with the event. This is helpful because when the event fires our code can get this string, parse it, and do some action based on it. Notice how I have two arguments in this string:\n\n/app=RMASample\n\nThis is helpful because this allows my code identify this action as an action that has come from my shapes. Remember this is a generic mechanism and your application might not be the only one firing these events.\n\n/args=DoSomething\n\nNow that I have identified this action as mine, I want to know exactly what to do. All I have to do is parse this out of the event string and then my code knows that to do next.\n\nThe Event Handler\n\nNow that our ShapeSheet Action is configured, we need to setup the event handler in our code.\n\nThe most common configuration is to connect to the MarkerEvent from the Application object. As you can see here in this most basic example, I have connected to the MarkerEvent as soon as my VSTO add-in is invoked. The event handler simply displays the ContextString argument in a messagebox.\n\nThis ContextString argument contains the argument string from the Action in the ShapeSheet…but it also contains a few other helpful bits of information.\n\nHere is what the value of my ContextString looks like at runtime:\n\n/doc=1 /page=1 /shape=Sheet.1 /shapeu=Sheet.1 /app=RMASample /args=DoSomething\n\nAs you can see I have my /app= and /args= values but I also have some additional values.\n\n/doc= tells you the index of the document from the Application.Documents collection.\n\n/page= tells you the index of the page from the Document.Pages collection.\n\n/shape= tells you the name of the shape from the Page.Shapes collection.\n\nParsing this string to pull out all these values gives your code everything you need to know about the shape that triggered the Action.",

In many cases, these failures often happen before the diagnostics agent has had a chance to startup and help identify the issue. A lot of these failures are due to simple but easily forgotten tasks, such as not adding a referenced assembly to the package or not updating your connection strings to point to Windows Azure storage instead of the storage emulator. The Windows Azure Tools for Visual Studio tries to help developers catch many of these issues before they spend time waiting for their package to deploy and the application to start (and then fail). When such issues are encountered during packaging the build process generates validation warnings or errors. The developer then has immediate, specific feedback on what needs to be done before deploying again to Windows Azure.\n\nValidation performed by the Tools include:\n\n* Verify that the projects corresponding to each role are built against versions of the .NET runtime that exist on the virtual machines.\n* Verify that the projects reference only assemblies that exist on the virtual machines (i.e. the .NET Framework or Windows Azure client libraries) or have been specifically included in the package (i.e. Copy Local is True).\n* Verify that connection strings for diagnostics or caching in the service configuration (.cscfg) do not point to the storage emulator (which will likely cause the corresponding agents to fail, and thus the role to fail).\n\nIn some cases, however, these warnings may not apply. For example, suppose you are generating a package as part of a continuous build that will then be deployed to the development fabric and undergo a series of automated tests. If you were to generate a package (e.g. by calling the Publish target), you may see the following warnings:\n\nWebRole1(0,0): warning WAT170: The configuration setting 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString' is set up to use the local storage emulator for role 'WebRole1' in configuration file 'ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.cscfg'. To access Windows Azure storage services, you must provide a valid Windows Azure storage connection string.\n\nWebRole1(0,0): warning WAT230: The connection string 'DefaultConnection' is using a local database '(LocalDb)\\v11.0' in project 'WebRole1'. This connection string will not work when you run this application in Windows Azure. To access a different database, you should update the connection string in the web.config file.\nThe warnings indicate that there are connection strings pointing to the storage emulator as well as a local database and these will likely cause a deployment to Windows Azure to fail. In this case, however, we know that the package is being deployed to the development fabric so those connection strings are, in fact, perfectly valid. In the interests of producing “clean” builds, it would be nice to ignore these warnings in this particular case.\n\nTo ignore validation warnings when packaging a Windows Azure application, set the IgnoreValidationIssueCodes MSBuild property in your application’s project file. For example, to ignore the two warnings encountered above set the property after the import of the WindowsAzure targets file:\n\n.\n\n.\n\n.\n\n\n\n\n\nWAT170;WAT230\n\n\n\n.\n\n.\n\n.\nNow these warnings will not be generated when packaging.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Document Explorer 2005 setup fails with a 1935 or 2908 error\n\nA while ago, I posted an item regarding a possible cause and resolution for 1935 or 2908 errors during Visual Studio 2005 setup. Since then, I have heard from several customers who have run into similar issues during Document Explorer 2005 setup.\n\nAfter thinking through these scenarios in more detail, I realized that it is more likely that Document Explorer 2005 setup will fail with a 1935 error than it is that Visual Studio 2005 setup will fail with a 1935 error because Document Explorer is installed as a prerequisite before setup ever tries to install Visual Studio. Therefore, if the .NET Framework is in a bad state (which is generally the cause of these 1935 errors), then the first place it will typically be seen is in Document Explorer setup because that setup package needs to be able to install assemblies to the GAC and requires a functional .NET Framework 2.0 installation on the system to be able to do so. If Document Explorer setup fails, Visual Studio setup will not even be attempted.\n\nEven though this is a bit of duplication from my previous post, I want to list the steps that can be used to workaround this issue with Document Explorer setup in case folks run into this issue.\n\nIssue\n\nWhen Document Explorer 2005 setup tries to install assemblies to the GAC, it may fail because the .NET Framework 2.0 is not correctly installed on the system. In the cases I have seen where this has happened to customers, the underlying problem was that setup detected that the .NET Framework 2.0 was already installed and skipped that prerequisite step. However, the machine did not actually have the .NET Framework 2.0 installed, but instead only had the registry key that setup uses to detect whether or not the .NET Framework 2.0 is installed.\n\nWorkaround\n\nI found that the machines had the following orphaned registry key/value that setup uses to determine that .NET Framework 2.0 was already installed:\n\n* Key name: HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\NET Framework Setup\\NDP\\v2.0.50727\n* Value name: MSI\n* Data type: REG_DWORD\n* Value data: 1\n\nIn the cases I have seen, the customers deleted this key/value and re-ran Visual Studio 2005 setup, and setup correctly detected that it needed to install the .NET Framework 2.0, and after installing that, Document Explorer 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 setup worked perfectly.\n\nNote - if the above workaround does not help, I would suggest taking a look at the Document Explorer 2005 troubleshooting tips that I previously posted.\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nMarch 27, 2006\n\nI couldn’t get this thing installed to save my life!

We have an update on the connection issues some of you experienced when using Java 6 update 29 and above.\n\nJava 6 update 29 (6u29) introduced a change to how data is sent to databases to counteract the so-called BEAST vulnerability. Shortly after the release of 6u29, we began to receive reports of users experiencing connection failures or hangs when using the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server to connect to SQL Server.\n\nOracle has released Java 6 update 30 (6u30) which behaves differently from JRE 6u29. Microsoft recommends that our customers use JRE 6u30 (and above) instead of JRE 6u29. In addition, Microsoft is releasing an interoperability enhancement that will enable SQL Server to process data from Oracle JRE 6u30 and up.\n\nThis interoperability enhancement is available in the following SQL Server versions.\n\nThis enhancement is independent of your JDBC Driver version; Microsoft recommends that customers upgrade their SQL Server installation based on the list above prior to upgrading their Java version.\n\nPlease keep in mind that other JVM vendors may introduce this BEAST related change in the future. Before upgrading your JVM version, Microsoft suggests you determine if the new JVM version contains this change and update your SQL Server installation accordingly.\n\nYou can obtain the relevant SQL Server cumulative update by clicking the link in the Knowledge base article for that cumulative update or contacting Microsoft Customer Support.\n\nCustomers who are running older versions of SQL Server have the following options available to them.\n\n* Upgrade to a SQL Server version that contains our enhancement\n* Use Oracle Java 6 update 27 or lower (or another JVM version that does not contain the BEAST change)\n* Disable the BEAST change in the JVM (consult your JVM vendor for details)\n* Prefer RC4 cipher suites via Windows Schannel\n\nFor additional details see Knowledge Base article 2653857.\n\nWe look forward to your feedback on this enhancement.\n\nThank you,\n\nShamitha Reddy\n\nProgram Manager Microsoft\n\nFor technical support, please use our forums or contact Microsoft Customer Support.\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nJuly 03, 2014\n\nAre there patches for SQL SERVER 2000/2005 for JRE 6 and SSL?",

If you happen to be one of them, here's why:\n\nYou probably didn't really install Windows Server 2008 RC1 with Hyper-V Beta; you probably installed Windows Server 2008 RC1, which contained the Hyper-V CTP.\n\nI won't go into the reason behind having two similarly named releases so close together because I wasn't involved in that discussion, so any attempt to explain it would be pure speculation on my part. Needless to say, the situation we find ourselves in is that there is a Windows Server 2008 that has our beta bits in it, and one that has our old CTP bits.\n\nIf you've yet to install any build of RC1, you can get a link to download the one that has Hyper-V Beta here.\n\nIf you've already installed it and you're curious as to whether or not you've got the CTP or the Beta bits of Hyper-V, you can easily tell. If you had to double-click on any MSU files to get the role to show up in Server Manager, you have the CTP release.\n\nAfter Blogging Mint:\n\n> \n\n# I don't know if anyone else out there ever saw these videos, but when I was in High School, my physics class had to watch some lectures given by a man named Paul G.

While describing miscellaneous laws of physics, he would commonly prove the law via some demonstration, then ask his class \"HC?\" which stood for \"How come?\"\n\n# My \"Here's why\" series of posts wasn't exactly inspired by Professor Hewitt, but I've yet to write a post without thinking about those videos in some way, so I consider them to be a sort of tip of the hat.\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 14, 2008\n\nHi When installing, Hyper-V checks for the VT extension on the cpu. Can this check be disabled? I want to test Hyper-V within a VM but just because of this check it doesn't work, the VM doesn't report the VT extension to the Guest OS. When Im correct, VT is an extension to fix a \"bug\" in Intel architecture. Most hypervisors now a day support the VT extension and handle this inside the hypervisor. Therefore they don't have to report the extension to the VM. Unfortunately if a VM checks for this, it won't find it, although the VM would run perfectly without because the hypervisor handles it. So, can the check be disabled? Would be great for testlabs in which you want to build small farms of Hyper-V servers. Gabrie [Not quite. VT is an extension to the Intel processor's instruction set. Think of it as MMX for Virtualization. (AMD has a similar instruction set extension called AMD-V or 'Pacifica' which we also use where applicable.) The Microsoft Hypervisor relies on those instructions to do a lot of work for us, and simply won't function without them, so no - the check cannot be disabled. You also cannot run Hyper-V inside a virtual machine. It's not meant to be a nested solution. - mikekol]* \n\nAnonymous\n\nFebruary 03, 2008\n\nHi there, great blog. Any way to remove the Virtual Server/PC Tools from a VHD if you ony have Server 2008 + Hyper-V? Scenario: Existing VHD, from say, Microsoft Technical Demo Kit, and just a Server 2008 with Hyper-V? Or do I have to find a Virtual Server somewhere, remove the old integration tools and then remount on Hyper-V? cheers, Peter [Hi Peter - if you have the newest version of the additions installed (sorry - I'm blanking on the version number right now), it may be possible to boot the VM and remove the additions in a Hyper-V VM. Just make sure you have a backup of the VHD just in case. - mikekol]",

Andrei Popov presented the Application Layer Protocol Negotiation Extension (ALPN) – one of the proposals under consideration, co-authored with Stephan Friedl (Cisco). After much discussion and a straw poll, there was rough consensus to adopt ALPN. Eric Rescorla (TLS co-chair) sent a Confirming Consensus for ALPN message to the TLS mailing list to encourage additional discussion from IETF members who had not attended the meeting.\n\nIt was exciting to see the progress and tone of the discussions that you can see reflected in the transcriptions below:\n\nMark Nottingham (HTTPBIS chair) also suggested that HTTPBIS continue meeting on a frequent schedule to make progress on the first HTTP/2.0 experimental implementation with future interim meetings proposed before and after IETF 87 in Berlin:\n\n* June 12 or 13-14 in San Francisco Bay Area\n* IETF 87, July 28 - August 2 in Berlin\n* Early August in Northern Germany\n\nRepresentatives from Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc. plan on participating in these meetings and encourage the community to also attend and become more involved in defining the next generation of HTTP at the IETF.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Search and Organise in Windows Vista\n\nAn area I have not really explored in Vista is Search - until an ISV just asked me \"how can I work with Vista search\". The opportunity with Windows Vista is described nicely in our Top 10 Ways to Light Up Your Windows Vista Apps. The challenge for an ISV right now is simple enough - the betas of the Windows SDK do not contain documentation on how to actually make use of these great capabilities and we are shipping native apis with Vista, not managed code APIs. I would be the first to admit this feels odd - one of the top 10 asks we make for Vista development has next to no documentation. After a little digging I can see that we have been changing the APIs/syntax between CTPs and whilst we are close, we are not yet 100% there and hence we have been holding off on the documentation. My recommendation is therefore to wait just a little longer before attempting to code up this stuff - but there is still plenty you can take a look at in the meantime.\n\nSummary of Opportunities\n\n* Issue Queries: Applications can issue queries against Windows Vista search engine using the OLE DB Provider for Windows Search. Vista includes Windows Desktop Search V3. WDS v3 will also be available for Windows XP.\n* Use Common File Dialogs: Applications should use the Common File Dialogs to prompt users for opening and saving files to provide a uniform experience around search and metadata (Vista Bridge sameples show how to do this from managed code https://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library... )\n* Embed the Explorer: Applications can use the Windows Explorer and Namespace Explorer controls to provide users with the same search folder, grouping, and stacking experience as in the shell.\n* Expose Custome File Formats to Search and/or Oganize: Applications with custom file formats can integrate with the Windows Vista visualization, organization, and search functionalities through the following extensibility mechanisms:\n\n* Add MetaData to Files: Property Handlers enable metadata support for custom file formats.\n* Allow Full Text Search of Files: Full-text search can be enabled for custom file formats by implementing the IFilter interface.\n* Provide Read Only Preview: Preview handlers provide a rich, interactive, read-only preview when a file is selected in the Windows Vista Document Explorer.\n* Provide Custome Handlers: Protocol Handlers provide support for custom protocols. For example, to support RSS or an Image Server.\n\nOther Useful Resources\n\nThe following would be useful:\n\n* https://addins.msn.com/devguide.aspx This is the developer guide for WDS 2.0.

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Routing Service Features - Protocol Bridging\n\nA while ago I introduced the features of the Routing Service, and \"Protocol Bridging\" was among them. But what does this mean and what does it really do for me?\n\nProtocol Bridging in the context of the Routing Service means two key capabilities:\n\n* Transport Mediation - The Routing Service is designed to be a WCF-to-WCF intermediary, we have to deal with worlds where the client and the service don't necessarily speak the same transport on the wire. An example of this is a service designed to use the NetTcpBinding that for legacy or interoperability reasons needs to communicate with clients that can only use the BasicHttpBinding, and thus the HTTP transport.\n* Protocol conversion - The ability to have two different bindings on the receive and send side of the Routing Service also implies that we have to implcitly handle any conversion in communication protocol. For the system provided bindings, this typically means converting between SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 protocols, handling the differences between how different bindings pass messages (sessions, transactions, addressing), and also handling the conversion of any protocol specific messages (such as the difference between a Fault when it's represented as a Message in SOAP1.1 vs. SOAP1.2 or headers specific to messages exchanged via particular channels)\n\nNormally two services configured with different bindings wouldn’t be able to communicate. The only options would be to either update the client to use the NetTcpBinding (not always possible, especially in interoperability cases), or reconfigure the back-end service to offer an additional BasicHttpBinding endpoint for the legacy clients. This also may not be possible (depending on if you own the service or not), and would introduce a maintainability issue where now you have more endpoints to expose and publicize.\n\nProtocol bridging at the Routing Service eliminates the requirement for your client and service to always communicate the same way. This kind of decoupling is great because it also means that additional communication requirements (such as support for a different binding) don’t need to impact “product” code, in the sense that the back-end service can remain unchanged.\n\nHowever, there are still some combinations of communication patterns that don’t make sense. In general, we say that the communication shape at the Routing Service must always be symmetrical: For example, if communication is Request-Response between the client and the Routing Service, then it must also be Request Response between the Routing Service and the back-end service. This is a fairly sensible requirement: if my client is one way and the service is configured as request response, what should the Routing Service do with the response it gets? Is getting a response even expected behavior? Conversely if the client is request response and the service is one-way, then what should the Routing Service provide as a response, and when? Unfortunately, while this requirement is reasonable, there are some situations in which it is rather inconvenient. For example, a nice, though currently unsupported scenario would be for the Routing Service to be able to accept a message via BasicHttp (or some other two-way channel) and then turn around and push that message into a queue (such as MSMQ). Unfortunately, because the incoming channel in this case is request-response and MSMQ is one-way, this scenario won’t work through the Routing Service out of the box.\n\nHow does the Routing Service act on messages in order to convert them from one protocol to another? In general we follow a simple set of rules when passing messages:\n\n* \n\nIf the incoming and outgoing Message Versions are different, create a new message of the correct version.\n\n* \n\nRemove all headers that were marked as “MustUnderstand” and which were also marked as Understood by the channel through which they just passed.\n\n* We understand that these headers were a part of the specific communication between the Routing Service and some other node, and since they were marked understood we know they were acted on\n* \n\nCopy to the outbound message any headers that were not marked as Understood.\n\n* We presume that these are a part of an end-to-end protocol in which we are currently not participating.\n* \n\nCopy the body of the message to the outbound message (we don’t touch body data).\n\n* \n\nSend the message out the outbound channel, at which point all of the headers and other envelope data specific to that communication protocol/transport will be created and added.\n\nNote that we have to take these steps on both request and response messages. The conversions done when receiving a message from a client need to be un-done when passing the response back to the client, so that it can receive a response it understands.\n\nThese processing steps take place in the Routing Service’s SoapProcessing behavior. This behavior is an endpoint behavior that we apply to all client (outgoing) endpoints when the Routing Service starts up. If you have a protocol that the Routing Service doesn’t understand, or wish to override the default processing behavior, you can disable this behavior either for the entire Routing Service or just for particular endpoints. This can be accomplished (as usual) either through configuration of the Routing Behavior (soapProcessing=”false”) or the RoutingConfiguration object (in code). To turn off Soap Processing for a particular endpoint, create a soapProcessing behavior and set the processMessages attribute to false, then attach this behavior to the endpoint you don’t want the default processing code to run at. When the Routing Behavior sets up the Routing Service, it will skip reapplying the endpoint behavior since one already exists.\n\nThat’s protocol bridging!\n\n-Matt\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nNovember 11, 2010\n\nThe comment has been removed* Anonymous\n\nNovember 11, 2010\n\nThe comment has been removed* Anonymous\n\nNovember 11, 2010\n\nThe comment has been removed* Anonymous\n\nNovember 11, 2010\n\nThe comment has been removed* Anonymous\n\nNovember 11, 2010\n\nThe comment has been removed* Anonymous\n\nNovember 11, 2010\n\nThe comment has been removed* Anonymous\n\nNovember 11, 2010\n\nThe comment has been removed* Anonymous\n\nJune 06, 2012\n\nHello, can you please give any example regarding this, i want to soapProcessing=”false”, but its occurring error when give soapProcessing=”false”, do i need to do anything more?",

Microsoft specifically highlighted the momentum of Windows Azure, Windows 7, Internet Explorer 9 and Windows Phone 7 and the opportunity for developers today and in the future.\n\nWith the capabilities in Windows Azure, Muglia showed how developers can apply their existing skills to build new types of business applications, consumer Web applications and commercial ISV offerings.\n\n“Only Windows Azure delivers general-purpose PaaS, which gives developers the breadth of services needed to allow them to focus on their applications and not the underlying infrastructure or virtualizing machines,” Muglia said. “Imagine having all of the IT infrastructure, hardware, OS and tools you need to support an app just a few mouse clicks away — it opens up so many possibilities for developers worldwide. We are looking forward to seeing the amazing things our customers will build on our PaaS offering.”\n\n### The On-Ramp to PaaS: Moving Applications to the Cloud\n\nFor existing applications, one option for customers is to move workloads to the cloud, using virtual machines to help lower traditional cost and management burdens. Today Muglia announced two new Microsoft capabilities for Windows Azure to enable customers to get on the path to platform as a service (PaaS):\n\n* Windows Azure Virtual Machine Role gives customers the ability to run an instance of Windows Server 2008 R2 running in Microsoft’s cloud, making it easier for developers to move applications to the cloud.\n* Server Application Virtualization gives you ability to transfer application images to Windows Azure, harnessing the underlying management capabilities of the platform.\n\n### Enhancing and Transforming Applications in the Cloud\n\nMicrosoft announced a number of Windows Azure services that also help developers create rich cloud applications that open up new business opportunities. To enable this, Microsoft introduced the Windows Azure AppFabric Composition Model to speed the process of assembling services by providing critical application deployment and management capabilities. To better connect developers to customers, Microsoft announced the Windows Azure Marketplace including the new DataMarket (formerly “Project Dallas”), offering premium and public demographic, financial, mapping, and entertainment data and other content. Commercially available today, the marketplace features more than 35 providers currently offering data subscriptions.\n\nWindows Azure scales to projects and businesses both large and small, including mobile applications that require an easier and lower-cost means to experiment and build prototypes. As part of Windows Azure enhancements unveiled today, Microsoft made available the Extra Small Windows Azure Instance that eases the process of development, testing and trial. Priced at $0.05 per compute hour, this new offering lowers the barrier to entry for developers who want to run smaller applications on Windows Azure.\n\n“Windows Azure Platform Cloud Essentials for Partners” is an offer that replaces Microsoft’s existing partner offers. This offer will go live on Jan. 7, 2011, and provide free access to the Windows Azure platform, including 750 Extra Small Instance hours and a SQL Azure database per month at no additional charge. Partners can sign up for the Cloud Essentials Pack at https://www.microsoftcloudpartner.com.\n\n### For More Information\n\nFor more information on the roadmap, release dates, and availability of the Azure offerings, see my post Cloud Roadmap Includes Virtual Machine Role, SQL Azure Reporting, Windows Azure Marketplace, and More.\n\nFor technical assistance and marketing benefits in moving your application to Windows Azure, join Microsoft Platform Ready.\n\nBruce D.

I am almost new to the IIS world, I have a task to write a simple filter which , but I struggle with C++ in windows.\n\n1. Architecture: Windows Server 2003 , IIS 6\n\n2. Development tool: Visual Studio C++ 6.0The web flow is as follow:\n\n[browser]-->[IIS 6.0]--->[CMS system]\n\nThe filter needs to intercept an answer from the CMS system when the response code is 403 [Forbidden] and redirect it to a predefined URL.I tried to use the Wizard to create the ISAPI filter. But I don't know how to:\n\n1. intercept the call from the CMS\n\n2. read from a configuration file\n\n3. write to a debug file.\nI tried to use the HttpFilterProc but when I compile, there is a complain saying that this function is already used/defined.\n\nYour help will be greatly appraciated.\n\n### Answer:\n\nWelcome to Windows programming. It really is not that hard after you get used to all the available services Windows provides, accessible via Win32 API calls. MSDN and search should be your best friends when starting out. An ISAPI Filter is basically just a plain Win32 DLL that exposes a couple of entrypoints that IIS expects and invokes. Thus, only your first question has anything to do with ISAPI Filter; your other questions are basic Win32 questions that should be explored another time.\n\n# RE: Write to a debug file\n\nIf you plan on writing a file to the filesystem, then you will need to call the CreateFile API to do this. See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/createfile.asp . And if the filesystem is NTFS, you will need to make sure that the user identity performing the API call actually has write permissions to the file.\n\nFor an ISAPI Filter, IIS invokes its entrypoints using the process identity. The specific identity is determined by:\n\n* IIS5 Compatibility mode - ISAPI Filters run in inetinfo.exe and process identity is LocalSystem\n* IIS6 Worker Process Isolation mode (default) - ISAPI Filters run in w3wp.exe on a per-Application Pool basis, and process identity depends on the identity of the Application Pool. This is Network Service by default, but can be user configurable. It is also guaranteed to be a member of the IIS_WPG group since all application pool identities must be in that group\n\n# RE: read from a configuration file\n\nYou have several basic choices for storing configuration:\n\n* Registry Key\n* INI File\n* Custom file format\n\nOut of those choices, Registry Key and INI File are the easiest to implement because Win32 APIs already exist to use them. Custom file format requires you to use CreateFile to open, read, and parse the file, so that is basically code you need to figure out on your own.\n\nThe Registry API is documented at: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/registry_functions.asp . Registry Keys are ACL'd like the file system, so the same rules for writing with CreateFile apply to reading using these APIs. The user identity making the function call must have access. You will most likely use RegOpenKeyEx to open the key, RegQueryValueEx to read the key, and RegCloseKey to close the key handle.\n\nThe INI File API is documented at the same URL as the Registry. INI files are based off the filesystem, so ACLs apply as well. You will most likely use GetPrivateProfileString to read data from an INI file. Its logical format is basically:\n\n```\n[section]\nkey=value1\nkey2=value2\n```\n\n# RE: intercepting the call from CMS\n\nHow you do this completely depends on how CMS integrates with IIS.\n\nThe key point you must remember is that ISAPI Filters are invoked as IIS is processing a request and sending a response. If the ISAPI Filter wants to alter request processing (such as send its own 302 redirection response or alter the response data completely), then it must make sure to suppress the response that IIS is otherwise planning to send out. If you fail to do this, the resulting response is likely going to be invalid HTTP or HTML to the client and severely confuse it -- and it will be all your fault. ISAPI Filters are in control of IIS, so it can make it do legal or illegal things.\n\nNow, you did not clarify what you mean by \"redirect it to a predefined URL\". Did you mean:\n\n* Instead of the 403 response, send back a 302 redirect response pointing to the predefined URL\n* Instead of the 403 response, send back a 200 response containing the contents of the predefined URL\n\nI am going to guess you want #1, but since it is a 302 redirection, the predefined URL will show up in the client's location/URL bar. #2 will look transparent to the client and will not change the client's location/URL bar because as far as the client is concerned, it made a request, and a 200 response with some entity body came back. It does not know there was a 403 nor predefined URL content was retrieved.\n\nNow, how you capture the 403 completely depends on how CMS works on IIS.\n\nIf CMS is running on the same machine as IIS and is launched directly by IIS, then your ISAPI Filter can subscribe to the SF_NOTIFY_SEND_RESPONSE event, which will fire whenever CMS (or anything else on the server) sends a response back to the client. You are responsible for deciding which response to which URL you should act upon. In this event, you will get a HTTP_FILTER_SEND_RESPONSE structure with a HttpStatus DWORD field that indicates the status code of the response. You will obviously look for 403 responses for the matching URL namespace of CMS, and then you will perform either #1 or #2 mentioned above.\n\nIf CMS is running on a different machine, then it is most likely something is reverse proxying the response from CMS over IIS. In this case, you will need your ISAPI Filter to subscribe to the SF_NOTIFY_SEND_RAW event, which will fire whenever any raw data is sent back to the client. This event is streaming, meaning you have no idea of the structure of the response and must parse to figure out what is going on. This will not be easy and requires that you understand HTTP RFC2616 very thoroughly. I am not going to try to explain all the details; you will have to study and uncover them for yourself. You will basically parse and figure out if the response code is 403 and if so, perform your redirection\n\n# Conclusion:\n\nI have intentionally NOT written any code in this case because you need to know how to do this for yourself.\n\nI would not bother with the Wizard in Visual Studio. It is useless for a developer that doesn't know ISAPI, and it is equally useless for a developer that knows ISAPI.\n\nThere are plenty of sample code, even from Microsoft. I mean, I have some fully functional filter examples elsewhere in my blog, organized, that can be used as illustration. I know non-programmers have taken that code and successfully compiled/linked/debugged with instructions purely from my blog posts, so you should be able to do it.\n\nBut, since you are tasked to write the filter, you must learn all the basics, such as reading documentation, reading MSDN, searching for clues, reading RFCs for HTTP -- all are essential to successfully write an ISAPI Filter.\n\nGood Luck,\n\n//David\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nFebruary 07, 2006\n\nthanks a lot",

In his blog on dogfooding Visual Studio 2010 Test and Lab Management products, Amit Chatterjee talked about the team structure and how the product team is dogfooding the VS 2010 Test and Lab Management products in action. In this blog, I would elaborate more on the benefits we are getting by using VS Lab Management 2010 at work.\n\nI am going to talk about four value propositions of the product that my team has been using and getting benefit of. These are:\n\n1. Environments\n\n2. Friction Free Usage and collaboration\n\n3. Integration with Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)\n\n4. Reduction in cost of hardware and maintenance\n\nEnvironments\n\nAs Amit writes in his blog, VS Lab Management 2010 provides a visual face to your lab. Until now, I had seen my lab in a Excel sheet and on SharePoint :-) (We use SharePoint and Excel to track machine configurations and usage.) Seeing a lab that is spread across the world is an amazing feeling for me. Now, I feel I am in better control of my hardware.\n\nLet me throw more light on how the QA team uses Lab Management product. Lab Management is a multi-machine setup which includes a VMM server, TFS, a test controller, a Build Controller, a client which has VS and multiple hosts that are attached to the VMM server. The QA team needs multiple shared pods. Each shared pod typically contains one or more TFS machines, a Build controller and a test controller. Every tester would install her/his own client and connect to this shared pod. We have two types of pods.\n\n1. Automation pods. We have about seven of these. These pods are typically used for running Build Verification Tests (BVT) and Nightly Automation Runs (NAR)\n\n2. Self-host pods. Every week we pick a good build and Self-host it. Self-host pods save a lot of setup time for the team and also help find bugs that normally surface with continuous usage of the product. Each self-host pod lives for two weeks.\n\nThe screenshot below shows our Automation and self-host pods on Pioneer, our dogfooding TFS. In future, we plan to get our other testing pods onboard Pioneer.\n\nFriction free usage and collaboration\n\nFriction free Data flow and collaboration has been one of the key themes and value propositions of Visual Studio ALM. It continues to show up in Lab Management too. The team is getting greatly benefited in productivity using some of the collaboration features. Let me explain these in detail.\n\n1. Self-service. As you see in Amit’s blog, VS Lab Management 2010 provides rich views of the environment list. The team members can now create environments without depending on the lab technician. They can also look for an existing environment before creating a new one.\n\n2. Last accessed date has been pretty useful. When VM hosts run out of memory, people typically use this column to identify running environments which are idle and shut them down by notifying the owner\n\n3. “Mark in use” is a feature in the product which team is using for collaboration. Testers put notes in the Mark in use edit box of the shared environment so that others aware of who is using it.\n\nALM integration\n\nALM integration is one of key value propositions of the Lab Management toolset. As Amit’s blog explains, we have been using the virtual environments primarily for three types of activities.\n\n1. Manual test passes.\n\n2. Automated test runs.\n\n3. Rolling builds.\n\nLet me elaborate more on our nightly automation runs. We have about 1200 automated tests in one of our features. If you run these tests one machine it would take about 14 hours. So, we created a lab environment with two VMs in it. We wrote a customized workflow to deploy nightly build of Visual Studio on these VMs. Once the builds are installed the test run starts automatically. This entire process is fully automated and now takes about 7 hours. I should mention that the deployments logs saved us great amount of debugging effort. In the past, we had custom deployment logs. Every machine that had a build deployment created a log file and stored it on the local machine. In case of multi machine deployments, one had to log into every machine and analyze the logs to troubleshoot. With VS Lab Management, we now have multi machine deployment logs at one place visible to all. The logs are organized with indentation and also point to the errors with icons. Now it takes no time to troubleshoot the deployment failures. Moreover, the deployment logs now have “Time spent” in each section of the deployment. This helps the team to identify long running tasks and optimize the deployment time.\n\nCost of ownership and maintenance\n\nFinally, this is about how visualization and Lab Management helped us to cut total cost of ownership for the lab hardware.\n\nIn 2007, my lab had 72 Dell OptiPlex Gx 620 boxes. Each box had 2 GB of RAM. Since we were not using virtualization, each box was acting as one machine. I used to pay $12 per box per month for maintenance. It used to take anywhere from 8 to 24 hours to reimage a box and get it ready for testing.\n\nIn mid-2008, we decided to adopt virtualization. We bought 20 HP Compaq DC 7800 boxes. Each box had 4 GB RAM. Each tester owned one box. We used an internal tool call “Virtual Lab” which operates on top of Microsoft Hyper-V. With this, we got about 20% increase in tester productivity. (Internally, we use a metric called “Time to test”. This metric represents the actual time a tester gets to do testing. This excludes time lost in preparing machines, installing builds, troubleshooting etc.). Although using virtualization helped us a lot in improving tester productivity, we were not optimally utilizing the hardware resources. In addition, it was hard to collaborate on the machine resources within the team as this was not a centrally managed system.\n\nIn October 2009, we started to dog food VS Lab Management 2010. We took away the some of the Hyper-V boxes used by the testers and created a Host group. We added three 32 GB boxes to take the total number of hosts to 12.\n\nBelow table depicts the overall cost savings.\n\n*at the rate of $12/machine/month\n\nOverall, using VS Lab Management 2010 has been a great excitement for us. In future, my team plans to exercise other value propositions, such as, environment templates, stored environments and network isolation. I will keep you posted on our learning from that.\n\nDinesh Bhat, Test Manager\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nFebruary 11, 2010\n\nHow many virtual machines are you able to run per host?* \n\nAnonymous\n\nFebruary 11, 2010\n\nWe have two types of hosts- Type 1: Single proc, quad core, 8 GB RAM. We host 3 to 4 VMs on each host. Type 2: Dual proc, quad core, 32 GB RAM. About 16-20 Vms can be hosted on these. Typically our VMs take 1 GB or 2 GB RAM.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nSeptember 29, 2010\n\nGreat information would it be possible to provide an updated post on your dogfooding for Visual Studio Lab Management.",

The big impetus was wanting to use the new OneNote 2010 icon, plus it gave me something to do. I live only a mile or so from an office supply store (and Office Max/Depot - not really sure which one) so I hopped on my bike and rode to get a package of blank business cards. I got home and laid out the card with the Word template they included and printed a test page to make sure everything lined up. It did, so I put in the first page of the blank business cards and printed.\n\nAnd the printer was out of colored ink. Back on bike to get a package of colored ink. Back home, print the test page (I got purple!) and then load a second set of blank cards. Print - no black ink.\n\nSigh. Back on the bike and get to the store. They closed at 6 on Saturday. Back home, no cards.\n\nSunday afternoon, back on the bike, buy the colored ink, back home and print the test page. Printed fine! Load the blank cards, print. Looks funny - I had the business card paper in upside down. Sigh. Print again - success! Print a second set - I loaded the paper upside down again. Print again - got a second set of 10 cards printed and called it good.\n\nThen I grabbed an old Maxell cassette case (remember cassettes?) to use as a business card holder. Here's the final result:\n\nTwo days, four bike rides, 2 sets of printer cartridges and about 20 wasted cards. But I think it was worth it!\n\nOh, and at Microsoft, we can order \"official\" business cards if needed. I just wanted to do this on my own to kill some time on the weekend. Looking back at it, I think I successfully killed a lot of time...\n\nQuestions, comments, concerns and criticisms always welcome,\n\nJohn\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nApril 05, 2010\n\naaaaahaaa! so it was not Microsoft official cards..!

See: https://blogs.msdn.com/jnak/archive/2009/09/24/installing-the-windows-azure-tools-using-the-web-platform-installer.aspx)\n\nOne of the first things I do when I get a new box is install the Windows Azure Tools and SDK. (don’t you?)\n\nQuite often, I forget to install and configure IIS7 – and receive the following message:\n\nThe Windows Azure SDK requires Internet Information Service 7.0 with ASP.Net Application Development components installed.\n\nSo how do I install IIS and the required components?\n\nYou could follow the instructions buried on the download page… or you can use the Microsoft Platform installer which is a heck of a lot easier. Let’s see how that would work.\n\n1. Navigate to https://microsoft.com/web and click on “Get the Microsoft Web Platform”\n\nAt the time of this writing, there is a v1.0 and v2.0 beta you can try. We’ll show the 2.0 beta although you could use either.\n\n2. Click on the download button.\n\n3. Click on the Web Platform tab and customize the Web Server option with: ASP.Net, Default Document and CGI (if you want to run fastCGI apps) and any other features you want to add.\n\n4. You can also click to add a database (SQL Express) if you need it and tools – including the free Visual Web Developer Express which our Windows Azure Tools support.\n\n5. Click “Install” when you are ready. You’ll get an opportunity to review your selection, then the download and install will commence.\n\n6. Install a few hot fixes manually:\n\nInstall the Hotfix: Native Debugging Improvements\n\nInstall the Hotfix: Support for FastCGI on the Development Fabric\n\nInstall the Hotfix: Improve Visual Studio Stability\n\n7. Finally, if you are using WCF, you will want to install WCF HTTP Activation. (this is a .Net feature)\n\nOn Vista: From the Start menu, choose Settings | Control Panel | Programs | Programs and Features, Click Turn “windows Features On or Off”, under Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0, select WCF HTTP Activation\n\nOn Windows Server 2008 – In Server Manager under Features Summary, choose Add Features – under .Net Framework 3.0 Features, select WCF Activation.\n\n8. Install the Windows Azure Tools\n\nThis is the way I setup my new machines nowadays, just so much easier and I get all of the other web frameworks (like MVC and Silverlight) at the same time.\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nApril 20, 2009\n\nJim walks you through using the Web Platform Installer to get your pre-reqs (like installing IIS7) using* \n\nAnonymous\n\nApril 21, 2009\n\nThank you for submitting this cool story - Trackback from DotNetShoutout* \n\nAnonymous\n\nApril 26, 2009\n\nPick of the week: I Spose I’ll Just Say It – You Should Learn MVC General The Easy Way to Install the Windows Azure Tools and SDK Pre-Requisites : Jim Nakashima shows how to use the Web Platform Installer to get up and running with Windows Azure as quickly* \n\nAnonymous\n\nNovember 17, 2010\n\nSo, the hotfixes are not necessary for Win7, correct? :)",

Your setup would look like the diagram below (click on the image for the full view).\n\nFrom right to left, bottom to top:\n\n* Your application is configured (via WIF) to redirect unauthenticated requests to the ws-federation endpoint of the ACS namespace\n* The ACS namespace contains a representation of your application, in form of relying party\n* The ACS namespace contains a set of rules which describe what claims should be passed on (as-is, or somehow processed) from the trusted identity providers to your application\n* The ACS namespace contains the coordinates of the identity providers it trusts; in this case\n\n* There is an entry for a Facebook application IdP type, created according to the usual ACS provisioning flow for Facebook apps\n* There is an entry for a WS-Federation IdP type, pointing to the Try Research’s directory tenant. To be exact, pointing to the metadata document hosted at https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/treyresearch1.onmicrosoft.com/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml\n* Facebook contains the definition of the app you want to use for handling Fb authentication via ACS\n* The Trey Research’s directory tenant contains a service principal which describes the ACS namespace’s WS-Federation issuing endpoint as a relying party\nI am sure that the ones among you who are already familiar with the concept of federation provider are not especially surprised by the above. This is a canonical topology, where the application outsources authentication to a federation provider which in turn handles relationships with the actual identity sources, in form of identity providers. The ACS namespace plays the role of the federation provider, and the Windows Azure AD tenant plays the role of the identity provider.\n\nRather, the question I often got in the last few months was: what prevented this from working before the latest update?\nThat’s pretty simple. In the first preview ServicePrincipals could only be used to describe applications with realms (in the ws-federation sense) following a fixed format, namely spn:@ (as described here) which ended up being used in the AudienceRestriction element of the issued SAML token. That didn’t work well with most of the existing technologies supporting claims-based identity, including with ACS namespaces: in this specific case, LeFederateur would process incoming tokens only if their AudienceRestriction element would contain “https://lefederateur.accesscontrol.windows.net/” and that was simply inexpressible. With the improvements we made to naming in this update, service principals can use arbitrary URIs as names, resulting in arbitrary realms & audience restriction clauses: that restored the ability of directory tenants to engage as identity providers through classic ws-federation flows, including making ACS namespace integration (or any other federation provider's implementation) possible.\n\n# Walkthrough\n\nEnough with the philosophical blabber! Ready to get your hands dirty? Here there’s a breakdown in individual tasks:\n\n* create (or reuse) an ACS namespace\n* create a Facebook app and provision it as IdP in the ACS namespace\n* create (or reuse) a directory tenant\n* provision a service principal in the directory tenant for the ws-federation endpoint of the ACS namespace\n* provision the directory tenant’s ws-federation endpoint as an IdP in the ACS namespace\n* create an MVC app\n* use the VS2012 Identity and Access tools for connecting the application to the ACS namespace; select both Facebook and the directory tenant as IdPs\n* Optional: modify the rule group in ACS so that the Name claim in the incoming identity will have a consistent value to be shown in the MVC app UI\n\nmany of those steps are well-known ACS tasks, which I won’t re-explain in details here; rather, I’ll focus on the directory-related tasks.\n\n## 1. Create (or reuse) an ACS namespace\n\nThis is the usual ACS namespace creation that you know and love… but wait, there is a twist!\n\nIn order to create a namespace you need to use the Windows Azure Silverlight portal, and I occasionally heard that people using the HTML5 portal as their default might not know how to get back to it. The trick is to click on your email in the top-right corner of the HTML5 portal; at the very top you will find a link that will lead you back to the Silverlight pages with their ACS namespace creation settings.\n\nIf you want to reuse an existing namespace you can go straight to the ACS management UI via the usual .accesscontrol.windows.net/\">https://.accesscontrol.windows.net/.\n\n## 2. Create a Facebook app and provision it as IdP in the ACS namespace\n\nFollow the ACS documentation here.\n\n## 3. Create (or reuse) a directory tenant\n\nObtaining a Windows Azure Active Directory tenant is very easy. For example:if you are an Office365 customer, you already have one! Head to https://activedirectory.windowsazure.com/ and sign in with your organizational account: if you are an administrator, you’ll see something to the effect of the shot below:\n\nIn fact, be warned: in order to go through this walkthrough you *have* to be an administrator.\n\nIf you don’t already have a tenant, setting one up is fast and painless: follow this link to set up one for free as part of our developer preview program.\n\nIf you create a new tenant, the first user you generate as part of the signup process will also be an administrator; keep the credentials of that user handy, because you’ll need them in the next step.\n\n## 4. Provision a service principal in the directory tenant for the ACS namespace\n\nFrom this point on, things get interesting. You need to let your directory tenant know about the existence of your ACS namespace: the web SSO (in this case, WS-Federation) endpoints won’t issue tokens for any recipient, only the ones represented by a service principal object will be deemed eligible.\n\nAs of today, the Windows Azure Active Directory portal does not yet offer commands for creating service principals; so your most straightforward option get that done is by using the Office365 cmdlets, These can be downloaded from here (please read the instructions carefully, especially for what concerns prerequisites and x86 vs x64 platforms).\n\nOnce you have installed the cmdlets, double click on the new PowerShell shortcut on your desktop (“Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell”) and enter the following (after having substituted lefederateur with your own ACS namespace)\n\n `1:` \nConnect-MsolService\n\n `2:` \nImport-Module\n\n `MSOnlineExtended -Force` `3:` \n$replyUrl\n\n `=` \nNew-MsolServicePrincipalAddresses\n\n```\n–Address \"https://lefederateur.accesscontrol.windows.net/\"\n```\n\n `4:` \nNew-MsolServicePrincipal\n\n `–ServicePrincipalNames` `@(` \n“https://lefederateur.accesscontrol.windows.net/”\n\n `)` `-DisplayName` \n\"LeFederateur ACS Namespace\"\n\n `-Addresses` \n$replyUrl\n\nNow, before you accuse me of witchcraft, let me explain what happens line by line :-)\n\n* The first line establishes a session with your tenant of choice. You’ll be prompted to enter your admin credentials: this will serve the double purpose of a) authenticate you and b) establish which directory tenant you want to work on (for example: for me it was treyresearch1.onmicrosoft..com)\n* The second line loads in the PowerShell session the module containing the commands you need for working with service principals. Here there are 2 caveats I’ve seen people stumble on over and over again:\n\n* it’s MSOnlineExtended, NOT MSOnline only. If you just tab your way to parameter completion, the first instance will be MSOnline and that does NOT contain the commands you’ll need\n* On Windows8 my experience is that if you don’t add the –Force parameter the import won’t succeed. My colleagues tell me that you should not need it, but for the time being things won’t work for me on WIndows8 without it. YMMV.\n* In this line I create an object of type MsolServicePrincipalAddresses with the return URL root of the target ACS namespace, which will be used as parameter in the subsequent line. It just seems cleaner to do it in its own line rather than cramming everything in the service principal creation command\n* This is finally the command we wanted to execute, the creation of the service principal. Here I added the bare minimum in order to obtain a service principal viable for this walkthrough purposes, all the omitted parameters will simply be assigned default or (in the case of GUIDs) randomly initialized values. The most important value here is the one in ServicePrincipalNames, which will be used as realm (hence as AudienceRestriction) in the tokens issued on behalf of the directory tenant to the ACS namespace\n\nThat’s it; you can close the PowerShell prompt.\n\n## 5. Provision the directory tenant as an IdP in the ACS namespace\n\nThis is one of my favorite parts: it’s REALLY easy :-).\n\nHead to the identity providers section of the ACS management portal (you’ll find it at https://lefederateur.accesscontrol.windows.net/v2/mgmt/web/IdentityProvider modulo namespace name of course), hit Add, choose “WS-Federation identity provider” and click the Next button.\n\nType in Display name and Login link text whatever moniker you want to sue for the directory tenant as identity provider (the name of the organization is usually a good candidate). Then paste in the URL field of the WS-Federation metadata section the URL of the metadata document of the directory tenant. With the name improvements we introduced in this dev preview refresh, it is in the very convenient format https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/treyresearch1.onmicrosoft.com/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml where treyresearch1.onmicrosoft.com is the domain associated to the directory tenant.\n\nScroll to the bottom of the page, hit save and you’re all set.\n\n## 6. Create an MVC app\n\nLet’s jump off the cloud for few minutes, and hit the good ol’ (not really, we barely just released :-)) Visual Studio 2012 to create our test application.\n\nYou can really use any Web application template, but I would suggest using MVC4 as that will allow you to get some work done automatically for you by the identity and access tools. The internet or intranet templates will work just as well, just be aware of the fact that they both have some authentication-related logic out of the box that will become dead code once we outsource authentication to ACS. Here I’ll go with the intranet template.\n\n## 7. Use the VS2012 Identity & Access tools for connecting the app to the ACS namespace\n\nWhat do you mean with “I don’t have the Identity and Access Tools for Visual Studio 2012 installed on my machine”? Drop everything you are doing and go get them! :-) Jokes aside, they’ll make things SO much easier in this tutorial: you’ll need those installed if you want to follow step by step.\n\nRight click on the project in the Solution Explorer and choose “Identity and Access…”. The tools dialog will open on the Providers tab. Hit the “Use the Windows Azure Access Control Service” option. Assuming that you configured the tools to connect with your target ACS namespace, you’ll see something like the following:\n\nCheck both boxes and hit OK: the tool will create one entry for your application in the ACS namespace, and will add to your web.config the necessary WIF settings for redirecting all unauthenticated requests to ACS.\n\nAt this point you could refine things further: for example, you could use the Identity and Access tools for creating an authentication experience that would help your users to choose between Facebook and Trey Research directly in your app, giving you control on the look & feel and presentation aspects of the experience. Here for simplicity I’ll just rely on the barebones-but-functional home realm discover experience hosted by ACS itself; if you want more control on the experience please refer on the flow described here right after the release notes.\n\n## 8. Modify the rule group in ACS\n\nThere is one last detail we should take care of before hitting F5.\n\nAs part of the provisioning of the current application as an RP in the ACS namespace, the Identity and Access Tool creates a rule group which copies all the incoming claims from the two IPs to the output token. This works great for Facebook and the MVC template: MVC uses the Name property of the Identity in the current thread to greet the authenticated user, and one of the claim types issued via Facebook nicely maps to that property.\n\nThings are less straightforward with the claims coming from the directory tenant: in this developer preview a directory tenant won’t emit a claim of type https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name, which (absent explicit mapping in the web.config, a story for another post) means that the Name property will be empty: the user will be greeted by an “Hello, “ and that blank might be puzzling to the user. Luckily there are multiple places in the pipeline in which we can inject corrective logic: here I’ll show you how to do by creating a custom rule in ACS.\n\nNavigate to the rule groups editor in the portal (https://lefederateur.accesscontrol.windows.net/v2/mgmt/web/RuleGroup) and select the rule group that the tool generated for you (typically of the form _RuleGroup). You’ll see that you already have two rules, one for Facebook and one for Trey Research, passing all claims thru. Click Add: you’ll land on a page that will allow you to define a new claim transformation rule.\n\nWe want to pick one claim type that the directory tenant does issue, possibly one that can be used for referring to the user in the sentence “Hello, ”, and make ACS issue one claim with the same value but type https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name.\n\n·From the top: choose “Trey Research” in the Identity Provider dropdown.\n\nUnfortunately the portal won’t be of much help for selecting which input claim type we should use: the metadata document of the directory tenant does not declare all the claims it issues. You can easily find out by adding a breakpoint in your app and, once authenticated, inspecting the content of ClaimsPrincipal.Current.Claims. I could give you the complete list here, but that list WILL change before GA hence I don’t want to deceive future visitors coming from search engines with a list that I already know will be obsolete.\n\nFor the time being just take as an article of faith that a directory tenant will issue a claim of type **https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/claims/FirstName**; that seems an acceptable value for our purposes, let’s paste that URI in the Enter Type text field. You can keep the Input claim value section to its default (any).\n\nOn the Output claim type section, select https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name from the dropdown. Leave everything as is, and hit Save on the bottom of the page.\n\n## 9. Test the solution\n\nReady to give the solution a spin? Go back to Visual Studio and hit F5.\n\nYou’ll be instantly redirected to the home realm discovery page on ACS, were you’ll be offered to choose between Trey Research and Facebook.\n\nIf you choose Facebook you’ll go through the usual authentication-consent-login flow; Here I’ll pick Trey Research.\n\nAs expected, the Windows Azure Active Directory log in page shows up in all its colorful glory. Enter your credentials and…\n\n…you’re in!\n\nCongratulations. You just signed in a Web application secured via ACS using organizational credentials from a directory tenant.\n\n# In Summary\n\nWith the latest update of the developer preview of Windows Azure Active Directory, you are now able to provision Windows Azure AD directory tenants as identity providers in ACS namespaces. This allows you to easily support in the same application organizational identities, individual identities from well-known Web providers (Microsoft account, Facebook, Google, Yahoo!, any OpenID 2.0 provider supporting attribute exchange) and direct, un-brokered federation relationships.\n\nConceptually, the process of onboarding a directory tenant does not deviate from the sequence of tasks you would follow for provisioning any other authority in a federation provider-identity providers topology: tell the identity provider about ACS, tell ACS about the identity provider, adjust rules to handle the occasional impedance mismatch between what the application wants and what the provider can provide, and so on. Concretely, there are still few places where you need to do a bit of extra work to make the ends meet: as we get closer to GA, hopefully things will get simpler and more streamlined.\n\nIn fact, we need your feedback! The developer preview is here for you to experiment and let us know what works and what doesn’t: looking forward to hear your impressions!\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nDecember 28, 2012\n\nWhat should I make of the puid claim issued by o365 and azure active directory tenants that I've enabled as identity providers in my acs namespace federation provider setups? Is it a unique value that will stay the same regardless of name changes similar to old passport [ -> liveId - > microsoft account ] puids?",

The solution significantly expands the return-on-investment (ROI) for RUP® through the real-time management of RUP® phases, iterations, activities, roles, artifacts and guidelines across each project instance of a tailored RUP® process.\n\nRelated Links:\n\n[Update] It looks like Eric Jarvi blogged about this just a bit ago.\n\n* Anonymous\n\nAugust 31, 2005\n\nJust noticed that link for IRIS Process Author is this: http://www.osellus.com/products/iris_process_author/iris_process_author.html* Anonymous\n\nSeptember 05, 2005\n\nHold the shift key and double click\n\nNew Team System Stuff - 2005-08-24\n\nEric Lee: July CTP workarounds...* Anonymous\n\nJune 08, 2006\n\nI was wondering if there is already a rup process template avaible for visual studio team system....* Anonymous\n\nJune 26, 2006\n\nYes, we have both the standard IBM-RUP as well as public domain Unified Process available in IRIS Process Author.

From my experience, these almost always either tied to an underlying disk problem and/or some external software interfering with the component (most commonly, AntiVirus or file-level backup utilities). In this post, we'll discuss some tools to monitor and troubleshoot these degraded Index Components and help better explain the problem at hand.\n\n## Step 1: Go Beyond Looking for Green Checkmarks\n\nWhen this occurs, I first recommend using this incredibly useful \"topology\" script written by a member of our Product Group to give you more details on any degraded component and key information about the Search System overall. Then, in addition to this topology script, try running the following PowerShell module that I posted in the TechNet Script Center (some examples are detailed below)\n\nThe core of this module is based on this post \"Monitoring an SSA's Index\" by Dan Pandre, to which he described:\n\n\"The Search Administration Component is responsible for managing both the overall topology of the search system and the search index states… The script below combines these reports into a single summary that can be used to check the overall status of an SSA's search index and interpret ULS log events relating to that search index. \"\n\nAnd with that… examples.\n\n## Example 1: The Index and a large Full Crawl\n\nFirst, we see a scenario where the system is healthy with all components are \"Active\" and \"In Sync\" with very similar generations (think of a generation as the high water mark of content submitted to this component). We can also see (by leveraging Merge-SPLogFile) the ratio for each Update Group in a replica that gets used to calculate whether a Master Merge needs to occur.\n\nNotes:\n\n* This Master Merge Trigger check gets performed by the Application Server Administration Services timer job on the Primary Admin Component\n* A given Index Component manages a given Index Cell ...the first output helps you map one to the other (e.g. IndexComponent1 => Cell [I.0.0] )\n\n* Often in the ULS logs and PowerShell reports, you will see a Cell name (e.g. [I.0.0]) referenced instead of the \"Index Component\" nomenclature\n* Loosely speaking, you can refer to these interchangeably – but it's worth noting that there is no correlation between the Index Component number (in this case, Index Component 1 and 2) with the Cell names\n* A Cell represents a logical segmentation of the index whereas the Index Component represents the physical implementation\n* The naming convention for a Cell is I.[replica number].[partition number]\n\n* All replicas in a given partition will have the same trailing number\n\n* In this case with one partition, notice both replicas end with \"0\", which ties back to Partition 0 to which these both belong\n* If this Index System had 2 partitions with 2 replicas each, the cells would be named:\n\n* For partition 0: [I.0.0] and [I.1.0]\n* For partition 1: [I.0.1] and [I.1.1]\n* Each replica in a partition is simply numbered with a zero-based index (e.g. the first is I.0.0, the second replica is I.1.0, and so on…)\n* All replicas in a given partition will have the same trailing number\n\nIn the next scenario, I started a large Full crawl and then started watching the output of this report. During a crawl:\n\n* The CPCs submit content only to the Primary replica [cell] via the Index Router (a special thread which only runs on the Primary replica)\n* The Primary replica also has the Journal Shipper thread running, whereas the other replicas in that partition instead have the Journal Receiver thread\n* The Index Replicas [cells] all report their Journal/Index Generations to the ClusterManager thread running in the [Primary] Search Admin, which determines \"in sync\" status for the replica [cell] within the cluster\n\nFrom there, each replica [cell] has an Index Plugin, which creates index parts, responds to queries, and merges those parts into a master index file. Because Index parts are created/merged independently by each replica [cell], \"in sync\" replicas [cells] within a partition [fragment] should have the same logical content across the replicas, but they may have different physical index parts on the file system until a master merge occurs.\n\nIn other words, as more items get submitted to a given Index Component, the percentage of items existing in a shadow index part increases relative to the number of items existing in the \"master\" index part. When this ratio exceeds 10% (as defined by the \"TargetRatio\"), a Master Merge will get triggered for that given Update Group. Simplistically speaking, think of the master merge process as creating a new file that contains the original master part plus all of the new parts… anything overlapping is effectively replaced by the most recent sub-parts. Being said, this should explain why the physical file parts may grow up to three times as large as the \"CheckpointSize\" reported by the Search System.\n\nFrom the image below, we can see where a Master Merge is running, which correlates with the ratio of the items in the %default Update Group for IndexComponent1 – at that time, a ratio of about 15%.\n\nNote: I tend to focus only on the %default Update Group because it is typically the most substantial part of the index files and thus takes the disproportionate amount of time to merge than the other Update Groups. In other words, the other Update Groups are typically small/quick and thus irrelevant to most monitoring/troubleshooting.\n\nUpon completion of the Full crawl as well as a series of resulting Master Merges, the \"CheckpointSize\" and the \"Ratio\" are much smaller. However, in this case, the physical size of the index files remained high even after waiting several hours (and starting no other crawls).\n\nEventually these will get removed (most likely in subsequent crawls), but they can be purged sooner by recycling the Host Controller service as demonstrated below:\n\nWhich – after a minute or so later – returned to an \"Active\" state and reported output such as below:\n\n### Bonus material:\n\nAfter the Full crawl, I ran this cmdlet again with the \"MMExit\" flag:\n\nGet-SPIndexReports -MMExit\n\nThis triggers another Merge-SPLogFile covering last 24 hours looking for event \"acdru\" as seen below. It's worth noting that this may be very heavy-handed with such a large duration to merge and should only be used conservatively (e.g. when troubleshooting something specific and avoid any sort of regularly scheduled run of this).\n\nI have not yet converted this output into a friendly looking display, but the cmdlet does report the file location where the merge file gets written. In this case, I could see events such as the following:\n\n04/14/2015 08:57:46.60 NodeRunnerIndex1 (TABLE41)\n\nSearch FsPlugin indexing tasks acdru Medium\n\n%default MergeSet[IndexComponent1-f9ed646c-e520-4fc2-91fb-2ec963fae67a-SPfbe0b39bf14a.I.0.0](64988F22-50DD-45C5-A016-FA35702EF3A6) MergeId:0x0000003e.\n\nMaster merge exit after 3398875 ms (0:56:38.3398)\n\n04/14/2015 09:12:57.66 NodeRunnerIndex2 (TABLE42)\n\nSearch FsPlugin indexing tasks acdru Medium\n\n%default MergeSet[IndexComponent2-f9ed646c-e520-4fc2-91fb-2ec963fae67a-SPfbe0b39bf14a.I.1.0](35C70871-4EC7-46D0-818F-986D643A8A4E) MergeId:0x000000c7.\n\nMaster merge exit after 2448047 ms (0:40:48.2448)\n\n-------------------------\n\n## Example 2: A \"Catastrophic\" Failure\n\nIn another scenario, I demonstrated a catastrophic loss of my Index file path for IndexComponent1. With the component out of commission, the first run of the report illustrates the component as \"Unknown\" in a new a new table not displayed in the prior reports. It is also important to note that this cell I.0.0 (e.g. IndexComponent1) is now no longer \"in sync\" with the Primary replica and as a result, is considered \"left behind\".\n\nOnce we restore the underlying problem with IndexComponent1, it once again begins to report status… initially as \"Degraded\". However, the Search System recognizes that this component [cell I.0.0] is out of sync with the primary, causing this to be moved into the \"seeding\" list. Seeding occurs by copying over all of the index files (including the \"Journal\" files, which act much like a database transaction log file) from the Primary replica to get back in sync.\n\nI hope this helps explain more of what's occurring behind the scenes and make your life easier next time you see a \"degraded\" Index Component.\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nFebruary 14, 2016\n\nScripts are great however this should be integrated into CA search administration dashboard.",

We spend a lot of time working to make MSDN Magazine and TechNet Magazine quality resources for you, and as such I thought some of you might have similar questions. I'm currently stuck in the Dallas airport waiting through what can only be described as a comedy of errors, so it seemed the perfect time to take a few minutes to describe our processes.\n\nAn issue begins many, many months before it ends up in your hands. Approximately six months before the first issue of a calendar year, let's say the January 2008 issue, we decide on our column schedule for the next calendar year, in this case the January 2008 through December 2008 issues. These decisions are malleable and do change over time, frequently in response to your feedback about your interests and content desires for the magazine. Nevertheless, by July 2007, we have a pretty good idea of what our columns will look like for the following calendar year of issues. Note that this doesn't mean actual column topics. For example, we may decide that the Security Briefs column will run every other issue starting with the January 2008 issue, but that doesn't mean we decide at that point in time what each of those columns will be about. That would be silly; in an industry that moves as fast as ours does, how could we possibly predict what would be relevant so far in advance? On the contrary, we take pride in the flexibility we provide to our columnists, and it's usually the columnists who take the lead, with some direction from us, on what a particular column will be about. And that decision doesn't need to be made until a few months before the cover date for an issue. As an example, the columns for the January 2008 issue will need to be written and submitted to us by September 15th, 2007. That may seem like a long time, until you consider that the January 2008 issue is actually in the mail to subscribers at the end of November 2007 (it may even be in some subscriber's mailboxes by then), and is online for everyone to view for free by mid-December 2007. In order for the January 2008 issue to be in the mail stream by the end of November 2007, we need to have it to the printer by the beginning of November 2007. That means we have around six weeks with an issue from the time the content is in to the time we need to ship it out; not a whole lot of time to put out a complete, top-of-the-line product, especially when you consider that our team (which does both MSDN Magazine and TechNet Magazine), has to ship twice a month to handle both magazines.\n\nAt the same time columns are due, the feature articles for the issue are due. Feature articles are typically assigned anywhere from two weeks to three months in advance of their due date. Whereas the topics for particular column editions are mostly determined by our columnists, with some guidance and input from us, we take a much larger hand in determining the topics for feature articles. These days, in a typical month, we'll receive upwards of 60 article ideas/proposals, some from authors who have written for us previously, some from members of the product teams or other groups here at Microsoft, and some from talented folks in the community we haven't had the luxury of working with in the past. In any given issue, however, we typically only run five to seven feature articles (along with typically 9-12 columns). This is a vast amount of content, no less than 80 pages of content and frequently closer to 90 or more. But even with that, we don't have space to run all of the content we'd like to bring to you each month. As such, we have to make hard choices in narrowing those 60+ submissions into the 5-7 we can handle, and that doesn't include the articles that are generated as a result of us reaching out to specific individuals to create specific content we desire (which typically amounts for 1-2 articles in each issue).\n\nAs a note to those folks interested in writing for the magazine or who have submitted proposals in the past that haven't been accepted, please keep these numbers in mind when you submit ideas. We genuinely want to hear all of your ideas and are excited to receive them, and frequently a rejection is simply due to us not having enough space. Of course, sometimes rejections are due to other reasons, such as us already having run or planning to run similar content, an abundance of content on similar topics elsewhere accessible to our readers, the timeliness of the topic, or any one of a myriad of other reasons. Please don't let this discourage you; we want to hear from you, and if you have a good idea (or better yet, several ideas) for articles you feel will be timely and very useful to the general Microsoft development community, please send those to us. The best way to submit proposals is at mmsubmit@microsoft.com or tnsubmit@microsoft.com (for MSDN Magazine and TechNet Magazine, respectively); we review every single submission we receive and do our best to respond in a timely way, but if you don't hear from us within a week or two, please resend your proposal as it likely got lost somewhere along the way. My friend and counterpart on TechNet Magazine has already written a good post on the TechNet Magazine blog about what makes for a good submission, so I won't reiterate that here.\n\nOnce all of the content for an issue is in, our editorial and art team get to work on it. The styles and formatting necessary for a quality print publication are pretty complicated (I frequently get them wrong), so we don't require our authors to use them, and instead request that articles be submitted in Word docs (.doc or .docx format) with simple styles and formatting. When articles come in, our art team then formats them appropriately using our print styles. In addition to formatting the document, we also run several tools over the articles to manipulate them in several ways. For example, we wrote a tool called EgCop (named after the popular FxCop) that finds common problems with articles and automatically corrects them when possible to meet our editorial guidelines around acronym usage, product naming, common capitalization issues specific to Microsoft development, and so forth. EgCop will also highlight potential problems that don’t have an obvious fix, so that it's called out to an editor when following up later.\n\nOur art team also does preliminary reviews of all artwork in the article (screenshots, diagrams, and the like) to make sure that they were generated appropriately. Diagrams are all redrawn by the art team in order to ensure that they're not only clear and consistent, but in-line with the visual style of our magazine (using our color palate, fonts, and so on). Screenshots are edited when necessary to ensure they're as useful as possible (cutting out extraneous elements that would otherwise confuse the core message, and so forth). Screenshots are also checked to ensure that they were taken correctly. All of this formatting takes a bit of time, which is why when an author has to make changes to an article after its been submitted, we ask that they first contact us to find out the best way to get those changes integrated. From the moment the initial article is submitted to us, we've forked a version, and thus an author just submitting a new doc with changes really complicates things and frequently wastes time, which is not something we have a lot of to spare.\n\nAll of our articles exist in a source control system. The initial article submitted by the author is checked in, and from then on all changes to that article are tracked. Every time someone from our team needs to modify the doc, be it to edit the text or to work on its figures or diagrams, the document is checked out, modified, and checked back in. This enables a variety of things. For one, we can easily track all changes made to documents, who made them and when, and we can roll back to previous versions should the need present itself. We can also do more interesting things. For example, I wrote an app that analyzes the changes made during each edit phase. The app is then able to provide statistics on the types and amounts of changes made during each editorial phase, which can provide interesting insights into things like the quality of an article when it was submitted. A variant of this application can also be used for plagiarism detection, whether between a given article and a previous one written by the same author (to copy from one's self is still plagiarism, and still unacceptable) or between that article and something previously published on the Web, for example.\n\nAs mentioned, once submitted an article is formatted and is run through all of our art checks. Once complete, our terrific editorial staff dives in. The first edit is typically a \"developmental edit\", or \"dev edit\" for short, done by one of our talented dev editors. This editorial pass focuses on the big picture: making sure the article flows well, making sure subtopics discussed are relevant to the overall article, making sure that the content of figures is relevant and well thought through, and so forth. While there's some copy editing done in this phase, the line editing is mostly left to another editor later on in the process. The dev editors work with the authors to make sure that all of these details are sorted through. As part of that process, after the dev edit is complete, the article's author will typically get a chance to review the article again, working with it in our formatted copy to both review the dev editor's changes and also to supply any minor corrections of their own (hopefully at this stage they don't have anything major to revise).\n\nOnce an article has been dev edited, it'll typically go through one or two rounds of copy editing before being put into layout. After these copy edits, there may still be a few grammatical or spelling errors here and there, but for the most part the article should be in a very good and readable state.\n\nThere is another very important edit that's done sometime between the time the article is submitted and layout: the technical edit. It's our goal that all of the information in MSDN Magazine and TechNet Magazine is as close to 100% accurate and relevant as possible at the time of publication (and, ideally, well beyond), and it is one of the responsibilities of the Technical Lead/Technical Editor to ensure this. Even the material from our best authors may have technical inaccuracies, and we want to ensure that these inaccuracies don't work their way into the final publication. To this end, all of our content is reviewed by technical experts at Microsoft. In addition to me (for MSDN) or Josh Hoffman (for TechNet) massaging the content for accuracy, adding additional details where relevant, or trimming away misleading statements, we also work with the product teams at Microsoft to ensure that those responsible for the features being discussed get a chance to provide feedback and comments. We then work to integrate this feedback into the content. Through this process, most mistakes are found. However, it would be naive of us to believe that we never publish an inaccuracy. Sometimes details change after we publish an article, which frequently happens in content discussing prerelease applications or tools, and sometimes we just plain get it wrong (magazines can have bugs just like software). To this end, we have several processes in place to fix errors after publication. Obviously it's not possible to modify the printed page in the copy of the magazine you hold in your hand (at least not with current printing technology), but it is possible for us to fix the errors in the online version. For more information on that, see our previous posts. Awareness of the errors we fix come from a variety of places. Sometimes the author of the article will find an inaccuracy in their work and report it to us. Other times other folks at Microsoft will discover the problems. But most of the time, it's you, the Microsoft development community, that points out the errors of our ways. You email us, or you post comments on the articles online (yes, we do pay attention to your ratings and comments... I look at them daily!) Either way, we very much appreciate your interest in making MSDN's content the best it can be. Please do get in touch in the future if you discover anything you believe to be inaccurate.\n\nOnce an article has been dev edited, copy edited, and tech edited (and reviewed), the art team jumps back in. This usually happens a few weeks after the article's due date, which means the editorial staff really doesn't have all that much time to get an article into shape, given that they're dealing with scores of articles at the same time, and the staff isn't all that large (as you can see by looking at the masthead in any of our issues). All of our editing is done in Word documents (using the Track Changes feature), and we use Adobe InDesign for layout. The article is dumped from Word into InDesign, and a preliminary layout is created. The layout features most of the elements that will be in the final layout, including all of the figures in their approximately correct location, all of the text, pull quotes blocked off approximately where they'll be in the final version, and so forth. A PDF of this initial layout (frequently referred to as a galley in the publishing world) is sent off to the author for review. While they're reviewing it, the editorial team also looks it over, performing a final proofread to fix any remaining grammatical or spelling mistakes, providing text for the pull quotes, eliminating or filling out widows (very short lines at the end of a paragraph), finalizing the article's summary box, and so forth.\n\nSometime during the editing cycle (usually after the dev edit is complete, but before we move to layout), members of the editorial and art teams meet to work through all of the figures in the article, in order to ensure that every figure is the best it can possibly be. This includes making sure screenshots and diagrams convey what they're meant to convey, that tables are as concise and useful as possible, and so on. We also meet to discuss titles for every article in the issue. We have very strict guidelines on the length and style of titles, and yet we want all titles to be relevant, interesting, and entertaining when possible. This can make for some thought-provoking and amusing meetings, especially when we're all tired and/or overflowing with caffeine. When we send the PDFs to the authors for review, we also send the titles we've come up with in order to solicit feedback or suggestions. The majority of authors respond favorably to the titles we've created, though it's not unusual to have one or two rejections in each issue. Frequently this is because the author feels we've misrepresented the content or that we've focused on something that they believe should not be the focus. Regardless, we're happy to work with the author to come up with something that they can be happy with, but that still fits our style restrictions.\n\nEach author typically has a few days to review and respond with feedback to their PDFs. Any feedback they provide is integrated as best and as quickly as possible into the layout, some final reads are performed and last minute changes made by both editorial and art, and the article is shipped to the printer, along with the rest of the articles in the issue.\n\nIn general, we've managed to pipeline our process so that workload is relatively constant. However, ship weeks (which are typically more like three days rather than a whole week) frequently involve later nights as we push hard to get all articles for the issue finalized and out the door. Our deadlines are real deadlines: there is no such thing as delaying a print date, and we don't slip, period.\nOnce an issue has been sent to the printer, most of the editorial team considers the issue complete. However, the art team at that point still has some work to do. Mainly, they receive back from our pre-press vendor proofs that need to be verified. It's only when all of these proofs have been approved that we officially sign off on the issue and wait for the fruits of our labor to arrive in our subscriber's hands.\n\nOf course, the print publication is only part of the cycle. We also publish every issue online, which involves additional work. Once an issue has been shipped to the printer, the InDesign files are handed off to our fearless Web producer/developer/designer Mike who handles publishing the articles online. Once the InDesign files have been converted into the XML format we use for all of our content, the files are sent off for localization so that we can launch the issue online simultaneously in all languages we provide, which currently counts 11 locales (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese). We also need to prepare all of the code that accompanies our articles. For MSDN Magazine, I scrub the code as necessary and hand it off to Mike, who arranges to have it signed, scanned, and propped to download.microsoft.com and linked to from our site. We also post it in a different format to enable our relatively new Code Explorer feature, where you can browse the files online rather than downloading the whole package. And in addition to publishing the articles individually online, Mike also prepares a downloadable CHM file of each issue so that you can take the an electronic version of the magazine on-the-go. Finally, the day comes when we publish the issue to the site, and with the exception of the corrections mentioned earlier, at this point we're done with an issue. By that time we've also moved on to several of the next few issues, some of which are in dev edit, some in copy edit, some in layout, and some still in the planning stages.\n\nI've left out some details and intricacies along the way, but this should provide a good overview for how articles go from the mind of the author to the printed magazine you know and (hopefully) love.\n\n-Stephen\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nMay 18, 2007\n\nAs a contributing editor for two magazines, Redmond Magazine and Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine, I get a lot of questions from people in the industry who are interested in submitting articles.

This setting is found on the Workflow Settings page in SharePoint Designer when editing a workflow.\n\nIf you check this option, SharePoint Designer creates a Visio diagram that is used to display the status of an individual executing workflow in a visual manner. More details on this feature can be found here in this two part article from the Visio product team:\n\nThe problem I found with this feature is that the diagrams that are generated are not very flashy. They have no background graphics and no themes are applied to the shapes. Sometime the layout is also not optimal for what I would like to see or expect to see.\n\nMy concerns can all be addressed by editing the diagram that SharePoint Designer generates in Visio.\n\nTo do this:\n\n* Open SharePoint Designer\n* Navigate to the site that contains your workflow and open that site\n* On the main page choose the All Files category from the left navigation pane\n* In the All Files view, open the Workflows folder\n\nIn the workflows folder you should see a folder for each of the workflows that you have published* Open the appropriate workflow folder and you should see the [workflow name].vdw file\n* Right-click on this VDW and choose the Edit File in Advanced Mode option\n* This will open the diagram in your Visio client ( Professional or Premium )\n* Make appropriate changes and when finished click the Save button\n\nSo now you can go from this\n\nTo this\n\nWARNING\n\nIn the last step I mentioned “appropriate changes”. This is important as you should restrict yourself to formatting changes, layout changes, adding backgrounds, additional shapes that are nothing more than eye candy.\n\nI will tell you that I have had success removing shapes from the diagram that I did not want to include in the visualization. This typically includes shapes like Log to History or Calculation. Low level action shapes that the user most likely does not care about. Removing these shapes turns the visualization you see above into something much simpler.\n\nThis is actually a question that I get from a lot of workflow developers, but be aware that any of these changes will affect the round trip so I recommend holding off on any changes like this until the workflow is in its final state and you have tested it’s operation.\n\nIf you make a change to the workflow and republish, a new version of the diagram will get generated and will be used for any new workflow instances. You will have to redo your formatting for this new diagram.\n\nI also recommend making a copy of the diagram in the workflow folder before you make any changes so that you can simply rename it to revert back to the VDW that SharePoint Designer generated.",

For a detailed description take a look at JD Meier's blog (https://blogs.msdn.com/jmeier/archive/2005/10/10/478999.aspx), but in short I will standardize on the following definitions:\n\n* Threat - An undesired events. Eg – Data tampering\n* Vulnerability - A weakness that can allow a threat to be realized? Eg – unsigned messages on an insecure transport\n* Attack - How to take advantage of the weakness? Eg – compromise an intermediary or device over which the message flows\n* Countermeasure - How to protect against a threat? Eg – XML signature\n\nOver the next couple of weeks I will pull together the different threats and then roll them out onto the https://www.threatsandcountermeasures.com/ wiki... so please ensure you post comments to my entries and definitely point to additional threats that you think should be considered.",

After the TFS 2005\\2008 to TFS 2010 RC\\Beta2 upgrade, RS part is pretty much untouched, i.e., any old reports are still going to be based on old data sources & old warehouse dbs in the relational & analytical stores.\n\nSo if I had a TFS 2008 report called “Remaining Work” for my TFS 2008 team project “Agile001”, then before the upgrade happens the report will be based on 2 data sources called TfsOlapReportsDS & TfsReportsDS. These data sources would be pulling data from databases hosted in the SSDE & SSAS stores. The name of the db in each SQL component is TfsWarehouse. Till TFS 2010 RC the upgrade experience(in-place or migration upgrade) leaves the existing reports un-touched, i.e., post TFS 2008\\2005 to TFS 2010 RC upgrade, existing reports are still based on the same data sources & the same dbs. The upgrade wizard however creates two new data sources called Tfs2010OlapReportDs & Tfs2010ReportDS & new reports for new Team Project are created in /TfsReports/CollectionName on the Reports Manager site.\n\nNow the big change with TFS 2010 RTM, the old TFS 2005\\TFS 2008 reports will migrate successfully to TFS 2010 RTM.\n\nSo suppose you have a TFS 2008 server that needs to be upgraded to TFS 2010 RTM using migration upgrade onto a new box.\n\nBefore starting the upgrade wizard one has to ensure that Reports are configured on the TFS 2010 RTM server with the backups of the RS dbs from the other server in the context of a migration upgrade. This includes connecting to the RS dbs in RS Config Mgr->restoring encryption key->breaking scale out deployment using rskeymgmt -> updating the TfsOlapReportsDS & TfsReportsDS.\n\nIf we do an in-place upgrade to TFS 2010 RTM, the RS on the box should not need any re-configuration.\n\nWith RS(& optionally WSS) configured on the box which is the upgrade candidate, we can use the TFS 2010 RTM upgrade wizard to upgrade TFS 2008 to TFS 2010 RTM. The upgrade process will automatically create the required folder structure under the/TfsReports/CollectionName folder in RS manager & will created folders under it for each of the TFS 2008 Team Project & will upload reports to them.(Neat!! ) These reports are correctly bound to the new TFS 2010 RTM data sources.\n\nHowever you may have to rebuild the Tfs Cube using TfsMgmt.exe & process the relations & analytical dbs using the methods provided by the https://localhost:8080/tfs/TeamFoundation/Administration/v3.0/WarehouseControlService.asmx web service if required.\n\nAll old reports will work now.\n\nOne last thing if you have created some custom reports in TFS 2005\\TFS 2008, you will need to manually fix some of the “potential” issues if required and happening using the guidance offered in:\n\nhttps://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff452590(v=VS.100).aspx#REMComplement",

One of the AJAX improvements we adopted in IE8 from HTML5 is AJAX page navigations. In IE8 mode, we provide support for script to update the travel log components (for e.g. back/forward buttons, address bar) to reflect client-side updates to documents. This allows a better user experience where users can navigate back and forth without messing the AJAX application state.\n\nFor more information regarding the feature and sample code, refer to the Internet Explorer MIX08 Hands-on Labs for AJAX and IE8 Beta 1 for Developers. For an example of how this can be used to hook navigation in Silverlight (with sample code!), see Michael Scherotter’s blog posts titled How IE8 Enables Silverlight Deep Linking and Browser Back/Forward Navigation and IE8 Forward/Back in a Silverlight 2 (Beta 2) Application for further details.\n\nSharath Udupa\n\nInternet Explorer Developer\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 14, 2008\n\nPingBack from http://blog.a-foton.ru/2008/07/ie8-ajax-navigation/* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 14, 2008\n\nCan you please post a direct link (not a link to a zip file of 25 random files) that includes the documentation on how to \"set\" and \"get\" a position in history?

That's the point in publishing. I mean, even private documentation requires a bit of polishing to stay readable Thus, it would stand to reason to think that documentation that is open for everyone to see would be at least a bit... licked. Instead of that, we get what would pass off as 'tag soup', plain and simple. How would you like one of your developers, or even better, one of your software providers, dumping a set of annotated, damaged, incomplete and unordered printout folders when you ask them for their software documentation? When you give out sample code, you do it right - that means, clean, consistent, complete code that doesn't hit this or that well-known browser bug or mis-implementation. And right now, that actually means XHTML 1.0 Strict Annex C code, or HTML 4.01 Strict following \"best practice\" coding - meaning, closing your tags (the IE table-as-inline-element bug is avoided here), code in lower case for tags, attributes and values (avoid getElementById etc. case sensitivity - or lack thereof in IE - if everything is lower case), logical tag hierarchy (valid code structure), and separated style. Or, you can keep creating tag soup, encourage others to do the same, and look surprised when you boss asks you why the site he asked you to make blows up on a browser update.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 15, 2008\n\nwhen are we going to see better canvas object support* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 15, 2008\n\nMitch-- Haha... real companies don't waste valuable win32 developers writing html samples. they've got better things to do.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 15, 2008\n\nThat´s is good thing for Ajax developers, but we need write more and more codes, for build a good web application. Some times, i preffer a old client script application for somethings. Bye!* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 15, 2008\n\nTed: don't delude yourself, there is simply no excuse for this. Microsoft wants us to believe they care about standards now, telling webmasters to fix their site for IE8 and all that, yet still do the opposite of what they preach.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 15, 2008\n\nDon't forget that you still haven't achieved the expected standards support even in IE8 and that ppl expect you to be fully standards compliant (99%+) or very very close to competing browsers by IE9 (SVG, XHTML, DOM3, CSS3, APNG etc everything). Meanwhile, keep looking at http://blog.seanalexander.com/content/binary/ApplesMobileMedoesntfullysupportpopularb_3CBD/Capture.jpg once in a while to remain motivated.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 15, 2008\n\n@Ted,Mitch and all others on the code quality thread (including the Epic Fail post that got deleted) As Stifu mentioned, this is about providing professional example code if you are trying to \"teach\" someone how to do something. Even if the first draft published contains error(s), it is well advised to re-publish new versions with the revised code and provide an edit note to the post indicating that issues were fixed. I took one of the files from the zip from MIX08,... dom.storage.html did a small cleanup on it and dumped it into pastebin as HTML 4.01 Transitional (since the form had a name, etc.) to ensure it had a doctype. Total time to do this? about 20 seconds. MSFT should have no trouble doing the same. Revised version of: dom.storage.html http://pastebin.com/f3544139* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 15, 2008\n\n@anonymous: Is that the same MobileMe site that uses tables for layout, and is littered with inline styles?* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 15, 2008\n\nThis is off-topic but with IE8 will we be given the option to view RSS feeds as a long list of links just as in Firefox, instead of a preview page? I would really appreciate this if you could have this feature, or even better, if it was the default.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 15, 2008\n\n@Erel, yes. you can do this in the 8 beta at least. I believe if you right click on a feed in the feed list, there is an option to add it to the toolbar and that will function just like the live bookmarks in ff* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 15, 2008\n\nI guess some of you people just read a couple of CSS books and now you're all experts huh?

It's not about being a CSS expert or not, it's about showing the good example to people... as well as showing some respect (rather than disdain, carelessness, laziness or arrogance, pick whichever) to the developers this doc has been made for.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 16, 2008\n\nThe comment has been removed* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 16, 2008\n\nThe comment has been removed* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 16, 2008\n\nThe comment has been removed* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 16, 2008\n\nI agree about the examples - I would be embarrassed to show examples like that. How can something like that ever be included in training manuals and standards definitions? Now - why should we use this new feature? It only works on IE 8 which will probably be around 15% of my userbase, and it is not standard so is not guaranteed to work in the future. Why not concentrate on implementing current standards rather than creating your own IE8 standard (much like your unloved IE6 standard)? You are just creating more problems for yourselves in the future by not working with everyone else on standards that everyone can use. I am not saying this is a bad idea, but why not work with everyone else rather than seeming to be working against the entire industry. I agree with Apples stance on IE7.

As per usual though, there are lots of IE only examples and some incompatibilities which will bite someone one day, or will require everyone to write wrapper scripts. The spec says: \"Firing a simple event called e means that an event with the name e, with no namespace, which does not bubble but is cancelable\" MSDN says: \"Bubbles Yes\" Even the MSDN document says \"Standards Information There is no public standard that applies to this event.\" The only cross platform way to add this event is the onhashchange attribute, which is not part of the standard. addEventListener is the way to go...* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 16, 2008\n\nIE8? Is that true? What a big version right? However, from what I have seen from your source code (bad-formed HTML and Obtrusive Javascript), I think that you mentioned IE6 + 2. What are you trying to improve if you don't have any idea on standard-based design principles? Please feel free to disagree wih me but IE6+2 is a better name than IE8* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 17, 2008\n\n@Ted: please waste 5 minutes and complete the following test: Write a (C/C++/C#/ASP/PHP/JS/whatever language rocks your boat) program that outputs all numbers from 1 to 100 on screen, but replaces all multiples of 3 by Fizz, all multiples of 5 by Buzz, and all multiples of both by FizzBuzz. You have a single, small sheet of paper, a pencil, 5 minutes and no eraser. If you succeed (you need to do it correctly), then great: you're one of the 0.5% of the developers group who can actually program your way out of a paper bag.

(With that being said, my apologies if there is indeed a more proper place.) I beg you, IE team, I plead with you, give users the option to turn off the \"Backspace\" button press=equals go back to the previous page \"feature\" in the IE 8 RTM version 9or better yet, beta 2). I know developers can turn this off on their text-entry pages with Javascript (and they should) but many choose not to. This functionality can be turned off in the FF \"about:config\" panel, and having done so I'm now using FF for most of my posting to forums, etc. and IE for most of my browsing (I like IE's tabs implementation much better than the one in FF), but that's probably untenable as a permanent solution for me. I don't want to underestimate the seriousness of making even minor changes to IE, but I can't see how it would be that hard/disruptive to add yet one more option to the \"Advanced\" tab in the \"Internet Options\" screen so that one can switch off this extremely irritating default function if one so chooses. In any event, thanks for your time.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 20, 2008\n\n@An Irritated But Loyal IE User/Developer: I don't really think that can be done that easily, as you're hitting on a basic interface event handler here. Deactivating backspace=window.history.back() may yield such problems as the backspace key being deactivated for all applications in Windows having an history functionality (after all, this is a 'window' object property's method); in the best of case it can be disabled at a user level, but if it can't then, all users will have backspace deactivated too (system-wide setting). I would guess Vista may prevent that through protected mode (that always makes me think about i286 protected...), but since XP is with us for 5 more years... That's a risk MS can't take, considering MS software's history of having strangely changing settings from one session to another (locale switching back and forth from French to US without any user intervention, for example): Joe User not having his backspace key working any more after a reboot would lead to quite an outcry. Please note that this is true of Firefox too, however in their case it doesn't lead to a system reinstall/format, and about:config is easier to edit than the win32 registry. You can try something else: program a webpage that loads any other page in an iframe (to make things easier, you can recreate the basic navigation controls at its top, the iframe taking up the rest); your parent webpage intercepts the backspace key, you get what you're looking for. Now let's just hope that security measures won't impede that too much... The second-best solution would be to add this setting to a Trident-based browser like Maxton.",

It was pioneered by Dean Leffingwell and fully described in his book Agile Software Requirements. SAFe provides prescriptive guidance for the individual roles, teams, activities and artifacts necessary to scale agile from the team to program to the enterprise level.\n\nSAFe’s guidance is divided into three layers, each aligned to a level of abstraction matched to project scope within an enterprise. Actionable work is driven top down through cascading backlog queues and a simple, well defined taxonomy.\n\nThe Portfolio layer defines a framework for managing an enterprise project portfolio. The portfolio is implemented as a backlog of business and architectural “epics”, high level narratives aligned to strategic investment themes. Approved epics are delivered to the Program layer for further exposition and scheduling for implementation.\n\nThe Program layer defines procedures for turning approved epics into proper product plans and is responsible for delivering a value stream to the organization. Activities include developing product visions, a backlog of high level “features” to be implemented, product roadmaps, and iterative release plans. Project features are batched up and delivered to the Team layer for implementation.\n\nThe Team layer prescribes a combination of Scrum management practices and XP technical practices to empower agile development teams to turn features into “user stories” and deliver working, valuable software in two weeks sprints.\n\n### Why You Really Should Care\n\nSo why am I raving about this? Agile has become the first choice for development teams building software, but true enterprise agile transformations are still rare. Adoption inside many enterprises has stalled due conflict with traditional waterfall business planning and budgeting processes. Here’s why I think SAFe can succeed at driving full scale enterprise agile adoption:\n\nSimple. The epic–feature–user story taxonomy is the heart of this framework and the key to tracing efforts through these layers to achieve synchronization, collaboration and business value delivery. Its simple to learn and easy to teach – a key ingredient to cultural transformation.\n\nComprehensive. The layered abstractions chosen for SAFe provide the just the right amount of focus at the executive, product management, and development team levels. The roles and procedures are well defined and cover the complete set of activities needed to manage a portfolio of enterprise IT projects. SAFe will educate and push agile up into the very heart of enterprise.\n\nActionable. SAFe provides concrete procedures and detailed steps on how to get each layer up and running. It’s very real, very approachable, and very doable.\n\nWell Documented. Leffingwell’s Agile Software Requirements book is in truth a playbook for enterprise agile transformation. It describes every detail of the SAFe framework and is one of the best written technical books I’ve read in years. Dean and his associates have also done an outstanding job documenting and “open sourcing” the framework through it’s public website – scaledagileframework.com.\n\nProven in the Field. The framework has been through numerous iterations, and has evolved through a number of large scale adoptions by real world enterprises, large and mall. The latest version published on the web site (v2.5 as of this blog post) has been validated by these field implementations and all the major ALM software vendors have either adopted it directly or facilitate an implementation of SAFe within their product.\n\nI honestly haven’t been this excited about a SDLC methodology in years (I read Dean’s book cover to cover in two days – a rarity for a technical book). I see SAFe as a natural and necessary evolution of Agile upwards into the enterprise to fill a missing void. It is quickly becoming the foundation for many of our client engagements.\n\nNote: Scaled Agile Framework and SAFe are trademarks of Leffingwell, LLC.",

Multiple check-out is a property of a team project, it's not namespace specific. However, I can think of 2 alternatives using use the \"Lock\" feature, because that’s what TFS does when a team projects is set to exclusive check-out mode, it attaches a check-out lock for each pending change. Back to our alternatives:\n\n1- You can ask users to check-out items with a check-out lock (they can do that using the Check-out dialog or the command-line). Or, if they already have checked-out items, they can still use the lock command to set a check-out lock on it. This will disallow other users to checkout the items.\n\n2- You can write a program, for example something that can run in the background like a windows service, that subscribes to the VersionControlServer.NewPendingChange event and sets a check-out lock on the new pending changes. Please note that calling \"lock\" itself is pending a change, hence, the event handler is going to be invoked again, so you have to make sure that the code handles this case correctly, by ignoring it.\n\nEither way, please do NOT use the /r option with the lock command, it's recursive by default if you set it on a folder.\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nMarch 24, 2009\n\nPingBack from http://www.anith.com/?p=22397",

First, however, I’m a bit concerned over the word “ranting” above. I hope that the commenter has dealt with some poorly communicating~~QA~~\ntesters who ranted rather than report issues, but I worry a bit that the commenter may be taking bug reports too seriously – bug reports are about the quality of the product – not the programmer. We testers understand that people make mistakes and want to take an equal part in making a quality product. If we point out a bug, it’s so we can all make the product better.\nAnd now, on to my post. If you are a programmer and you want to make the testers around you happy, here are a few of my tips. Feel free to add yours in the comments.\n\nDon't talk down to testers – they’re not bottom feeders lucky to have a job, and they’re not developers who couldn’t cut it. Most of us have chosen to be testers because we’re good at it and it gives us an opportunity to have a huge impact on software quality. The better we work together, the better job you’re going to do in the end. Software development is a joint effort between programmers and testers – if you want to be successful, you need a good relationship with your testers.\n\nWrite unit tests – Don’t make it easy for me to find bugs. Testers aren’t asking you to find every single bug, but at least test enough of your own code that testers won’t find bugs in basic functionality. The harder it is for testers to find bugs in your code, the more they will respect you. When testers begin finding complex bugs that you never thought could exist, you will respect them more too.\n\nThink about testability – testable software is well designed software. Consider the SOCK model (Simple, Observable, Control, and Knowledge). Think about testing during design and implementation – ask yourself “’how will we know this works?”\n\nDon’t avoid conflict - Conflict is fine (and expected), but everyone needs to feel that their voice is heard. When you disagree, explain why you disagree, and don’t expect to resolve every conflict.\n\nMore communication - Spend time talking about challenges of your roles. Understanding the other side helps you both do your job better.\n\nDon't take bug reports personally - (note to testers: bug reports are NOT your avenue for belittling developers). Bug reports are a necessary side effect of the testers job. Bugs are just bits of information that you need to act on.\n\nDon't get mad at a tester for finding a bug in your code - you should be surprised, or maybe even embarrassed depending on the details of the issue.\n\nFeel free to offer testing suggestions - e.g. \"It's going to be important to test how the string fields are translated between component x and component y\", or \"I’m worried that the component we’re leveraging from team z will cause compat problems, can you spend some time investigating?\"\n\nThat’s a good start. Now, tell me what I missed.\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nJanuary 03, 2009\n\nPingBack from http://www.codedstyle.com/my-2009-advice-for-programmers-on-making-or-keeping-testers-happy/* Anonymous\n\nJanuary 05, 2009\n\nProvide Real Information In Your Bug Report CommentsIn my shop, when a Developer marks a bug report as FIXED, she/he must also add a comment.Often I see terse, less-than-useful comments like \"it's fixed\", or \"fixed in next build\".Far better would be to:indicate what went wrong with the code that lead to the bugindicate what was done to fix the problem if the same problem was found and fixed elsewhere, indicate that provide any suggestions for extra testing when the bug fix is verified (hopefully more meaningful than \"test everything\") (Note: I don't allow my team of professional testers to rant about developers.

For one thing, there were parts of it I found less than intuitive. I started by running the appropriate installer to get Virtual PC Beta on my system. Note Virtual PC Beta is available for Windows 7 RC only.\n\nI then get a Windows Virtual PC node in my Start –> All Programs menu. You can see the Virtual Windows XP option (click on this and you’re prompted to download) but highlighted is the Virtual Machines node. Click on this and Explorer opens.\n\nA new folder has been created in my User Profile at C:\\Users\\[username]\\Virtual Machines. This contains vmcx files, xml files that describe the VM (RAM, HDD, vmc file etc). TBH, I thought this was what the vmc file did but I haven’t explored this any further…\n\nYou can open a *.vmc file created in Virtual PC 2007 (a new *.vmcx file will be created) or, as I’ve done here, create a new Virtual machine using the cunningly camouflaged option in Explorer “Create virtual machine” (it’s well hidden in the menu at the top).\n\nOnce the VM is running, the Virtual PC “guest” window has a simplified menu that allows you to access Actions such as viewing full screen, shutting down etc…\n\nConnect to USB devices attached to the host…\n\nAnd tools to “Enable Integration Features”, access the Settings menu (see below) and send Ctrl+Alt+Del to the guest OS…\n\nThe Settings menu option brings up a settings window very similar to the one in Virtual PC 2007 (certain things are missing, eg drive sharing with the host).\n\nIf you select “Enable Integration Features” you’ll be asked to enter credentials. At this point it’s quite clear what’s being asked for (see below – the dialogue tells you what credentials it wants). However, if you enter your credentials incorrectly it’s possible to end up with a normal XP (XP is my guest OS) logon dialogue which doesn’t spell out the credentials you’re supposed to enter. Am I going from host to guest or g to h?\n\nTo clear up any confusion, the dialogue is asking you to provide the necessary credentials to logon to the guest OS (in my case an XP VM in a workgroup whereas my host OS is domain joined). That means that in my case I need to enter my username qualified with the guest machine name. My first problem was that the machine name was some sort of GUID *and* I couldn’t cut & paste the machine name into the logon dialogue. Argh. I had to rename my machine to something sensible or tear my hear out typing something that looked like it was Base-64 encoded.\n\nTo add to my confusion, the password for this account contains an @ character. Or a “ character. Or maybe it’s a #. You get my point. Whatever it was, I could enter it perfectly well on the VM itself, but when it came to entering it on the integration dialogue either brain “fug” or keyboard settings got in the way because it would not log me on despite me entering (about a hundred times) what I believed to be the correct password. This lead me down a number of blind alleys before I tried the keyboard layout thing and hit Shift-2 instead of Shift-‘.\n\nOnce you’ve entered the credentials correctly, you’ll see in Explorer (in the guest OS) icons for the host drives (assuming you’ve set the integration settings to share drives – shared resources are configurable).\n\nJust as a test I installed Firefox on the XP VM and shut it down (let’s pretend that Firefox is a legacy application that wont run on Win7. I know it will. I only picked Firefox as I had the installer handy).\n\nWhat I see is a list of “XPMachine Applications” in my Start menu (XPMachine is the name of my VM). If I click on Firefox, there’s a bit of activity to spin up the VM again and then\n\nFirefox appears in window just as if it was running on the host (but note the XP window style). ie the guest OS isn’t surfaced anywhere, as far as I’m aware I’ve just run this Windows XP application on the host.\n\nI haven’t done much more than the above so far with Virtual PC Beta. I like the simplicity and integration. I’m curious how I now “uninstall” these legacy applications? Do I just remove the VM? Only one way to find out….\n\nTechnorati Tags: virtual pc,beta,virtualization,windows 7,windows xp\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nMay 13, 2009\n\nPingBack from http://blogs.msdn.com/mikeormond/archive/2009/05/14/virtual-pc-beta.aspx",

The physical security of the server along with that of the infrastructure on which it depends must be considered. Then there's the network and the operating system on which the database server runs and then the practices and procedures that prevent folks from inadvertently (or purposefully) compromising security.\n\nIn many organizations, there are individuals (or teams of individuals) charged with securing the computing infrastructure. There are many tools and other resources avilable to these folks to assist them with their tasks. Still, here are a few for folks just getting started in this space:\n\n* Microsoft Security Compliance Manager\n* CompTIA Security+ and Advanced Security Practitioner certifications\n\nIn addition to general infrastructure guidance, Books Online provides a few hardining recommendations specific to SQL Server servers here and here that are well worth checking out.\n\nWith the underlying infrastructure secure, attention is then turned the SQL Server software itself. The general recommendations here are:\n\nKeep SQL Server Up-to-Date\n\nWith each version of SQL Server, security is improved. Microsoft continues to address vulnerabilities in older and even unsupported versions of the product, but working with newer versions provides access to increasingly advanced security capabilities. The product lifecycle information provided here identifies which products are currently considered supported and Books Online provides information on security enhancements availalble with a given product release. (Here is that Books Online entry for SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2.)\n\nAs vulnerabilities are detected, Microsoft releases security-related patches (hotfixes) to fix these. These need to be applied aggressively to prevent exploits. Notification of security concerns and fixes from Microsoft can be obtained by registering here and tools such as System Center Configuration Manager can assist in getting these rapidly applied across a large infrastructure.\n\nBut tools are not enough. The principle barriers to the application of patches are the availability of personnel for testing and a lack of agreement around the speed with which hotfixes should move into production. Before a hotfix needs to be applied, it is strongly recommended that testing procedures be clearly defined and windows for the application of security-related patches be agreed to amongst the responsible and effected parties. (In some organizations, there is a minimal test performed for security-related hotfixes which allows it to get into produtcion faster while full-blown service packs and version upgrades receive much more exhaustive testing. There is a risk associated with this but as with most security considerations, it's all about balancing risks.) Automation too can help speed the testing process by reducing dependency on personnel.\n\nLeave Off Unnecessary SQL Server Features\n\nSQL Server has been engineered with a number of features turned off by default. These are features that are not fundamental to the operations of the database server and that could be exploited. Some of these off-by-default features are:\n\n* Database & SQL Mail\n* CLR Integration\n* OLE Automation\n* xp_cmdshell\n* Ad Hoc Remote Queries\n* HTTP & Service Broker Endpoints\n* Additional Network Protocols\n* Remote (Dedicated) Admin Connections\n\nThough off-by-default, these features do play roles in specific scenarios. Before enabling these, carefully weigh the costs and benefits, consider alternative solutions, and explore ways to mitigate the risk.",

You can follow the Community signs in the launch site to get to us, SQL Server, Visual Studio, or Windows Server team booths.\n\nOh, hello. Welcome to our booth. Here are some things happening:\n\nMCTs* are presenting a live, 24 hour training session--this started an hour ago and will go for the next 24 hours. It will cover 4 rotating topics, one every 15 minutes and starting over every hour, so people can just come and go and get a little snippet of information, talk to real people, and take off to get a virtual ice cream when you get bored. Topics are\n\n* \n\n# Virtualization (WS2008),\n\n* \n\n# Improved Web Programming (VS2008)\n\n* \n\n# Resource Governor (SQL Server 2008) and\n\n* \n\n# Microsoft distance learning\n\nI think it sounds fun, there are Microsoft Learning staff and trainers over in building 99 for the next 24, with food and drinks, ready to pull an all-nighter. I might go say hi if I have time after I finish staring out the window.\n\nVia the launch, you can register for a free 2-hour Windows Server 2008 training (to be held in March) via our distance learning. This is a very cool, free way to get some high-quality training for you or your team, so pass it on...also some special offers, downloads, presentations, etc. etc. to check out in the \"booth.\"\n\nSee you.\n\nI mean, \"see you.\"\n\n*Cue Andy for comment\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nFebruary 27, 2008\n\nPingBack from http://distance-learning.reviewedhere.info/2008/02/27/live-24-hours/* \n\nAnonymous\n\nFebruary 27, 2008\n\nThanks Trika for the plug.

A few people have asked me to write a bit on how to use this transform, so here's a brief explanation and some sample code. This transform basically applies an XSL transform to the XML that will be signed, before the signature is computed, but after the reference has been resolved.\n\nTo clarify that last point, lets say I want to sign some XML with an id of \"myxml\". Currently no elements in the XML I want to sign have this ID, but I do have some XSL that will transform the input XML into some output that contains a node with the myxml id. This won't work, because the Reference will search my document for the element with the myxml id before the transform is applied. Since it won't find it, the transform will never be applied. (Something like the above scenario could be accomplished by creating a reference to the entire document, then applying a transform chain that first included the XSLT transform followed by an XPath one.)\n\nOne of the quirks of the XmlDsigXsltTransform class is that there is no easy way to programmatically set the XSL you'd like the transform to use. In order to create XSLT transforms, I use the following utility function, which takes as input the XSL you'd like the transform to apply.\n\n/// \n\n/// Utility method to create an XSLT transform from a string of XSL\n\n/// \n\n/// XSL to use in the transform\n\n/// An XmlDsigXsltTransform that will apply the given XSL transform before signing\n\npublic static XmlDsigXsltTransform CreateXsltTransform(string xsl)\n\n{\n\nXmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();\n\ndoc.LoadXml(xsl);XmlDsigXsltTransform xform = new XmlDsigXsltTransform();\n\nxform.LoadInnerXml(doc.ChildNodes);\n\nreturn xform;\n\n}\nThis method is easy to use. Simply pass it the XSL you want in your transform, and it will return you an XmlDsigXsltTransform object containing this XSL. It works by turning the XSL string into an XmlNodeList, and then calling LoadInnerXml on XmlDsigXsltTranform with this node list.\n\nUsing the transform is done in the same manner as the other transforms. First you create a reference to the XML you wish to sign. Then attach the transform object to that reference's transform chain. Verification code is unchanged from the standard verification code, since the transform will be embedded in the signature that is produced. Here's some sample code that signs a simple XML document using a basic XSL transform\n\n// transform that will be used before signing the document\n\nstring xsl = @\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\";\n\n// XML document to sign\n\nstring xml = @\"\n\n\n\n\n\";\n\nXmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();\n\ndoc.LoadXml(xml);// setup the signature as usual -- generally you'd have a known key\n\n// to sign with instead of producing a random one.\n\nRSA signingKey = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();\n\nSignedXml signer = new SignedXml(doc);\n\nsigner.SigningKey = signingKey;// create a reference to the entire document\n\nReference r = new Reference(\"\");\n\nr.AddTransform(new XmlDsigEnvelopedSignatureTransform());\n\nr.AddTransform(CreateXsltTransform(xsl));\n\nsigner.AddReference(r);// signature computation works as usual\n\nsigner.ComputeSignature();\n\ndoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(signer.GetXml());\nAfter running this code, the signed XML looks like this:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nlqgLQKa0...e66pmKI=\n\n\n\n\n\njuQQvRyG...E7r1Y0E=\n\n\n\n\nOne thing to notice here is that the output XML contains the original XML, not the version that would be produced when transformed by the XSL. Since the output also contains your XSL, whoever is verifying the signature can recompute the output. This is convenient, sine it means that your XSL doesn't have to produce XML (for instance, it could create HTML). However, if you don't want to share your XSL, then this may not be the transform for you. Instead, you might want to apply your XSL before computing the signature, in which case the XSL you use will not be available for anyone to see.\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nMay 20, 2004\n\nIt looks like WSE 2.0 does not have this type of transform implemented inside ?\n\nSo it could be hard to manipulate WSE security filter to understand it.* Anonymous\n\nMay 20, 2004\n\nThe WSE SignedXml class isn't intended for general purpose use, it's really meant to cover the specific cases needed for WSE only. The general recommendation is that unless the WSE class provides something that you can't get from the System.Security implementation, to stick with the version built into the BCL.\n\n-Shawn* Anonymous\n\nMay 21, 2004\n\nHi Shawn,\n\nCould I ask you please to post the example how to make the same in WSE code, or policy ? So that result message will be WS-Security compliant ?\n\nThanks a lot,\n\nElena* Anonymous\n\nMay 21, 2004\n\nHi Elena,\n\nI work on the core CLR security team, and not with the WSE team, so unfortunately I don't have any good sample code laying around to get you started with.\n\n-Shawn",

Need to figure out how to get this sensor lab started for the Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. If I use USB, then that means only the Windows 8.1 will be able to be used. If I use both, well then that would be nice, but it would require that I use Bluetooth.\n\nAs Steven Edouard just pointed out USB and the Bluetooth is about the same, except for annoying differences, like the Bluetooth using the HC-06 JY-MCU (aka: Linvor) doesn’t like to stay connected easily.\n\nSo… I am going to use USB today and try to get the app working. Which it will. Just have to ignore my thoughts about the purchase of an Oscilloscope which will steal a lot of time. So I don’t get an Oscilloscope till I get this app working. Then I won’t need an oscilloscope. Sigh.\n\nOk, let’s get started with the Arduino connection to the USB to the Windows 8 app.\n\n# Design goal:\n\nBuild a simple sensor lab that can be used from Windows 8.1 store app that is downloaded by students, hobbyists and so forth.\n\n# First Step: Understanding the App Package Manifest\n\nTo start in vast confusion, you can start off with the link below, it seems odd that the RFComm supports so little. Just seems odd to me…but the list is what it is:\n\nHow to specify device capabilities for Bluetooth (Windows Runtime apps) (link functional on 6/9/2014)\n\nNext you want to hit the excellent blog by Dan Ardelean, as Dan notes, GATT, which is the Low Energy Bluetooth. Windows 8.1 and Phone only support devices like the HC-06 like the JY-MCU available under $10 or the HC-05 which supports the server and client side of the issue.\n\nAs Dan points out the Windows 8.1 (not phone) story for BLE seems to be strangely awful to use. Your users will have to manually pair the device with the tablet or notebook, no other options. This makes sense when you think about the security issues, etc. But painful nonetheless. You will have to give your endusers guidance on how to pair the Bluetooth. In my case, it is easier since people using sensors will be a little more ready to suffer with the Microsoft issues than a busy (but intelligent) Mom or Dad or Grandparent trying to deal with the kids.\n\nI did note that the Sphero app in the Windows store does have a nice way of handling the pairing situation it just opens the correct settings page. Of course if you have a seriously discharged Sphero then you have to wait.\n\nIf you do have a Sphero, then try to follow what Dan is talking about with the TI Bluetooth system, which is a killer deal at $25 US with free shipping in the US. It comes with a few sensors like a temperature sensor, Humidity sensor, a magnetometer and a gyroscope all for the 25 bucks US. Nice. I have also bought the HC-06 and an HC-05, but these are not BLE devices, rather they are the older Bluetooth specification.\n\n# Second Step: Giving Up on Bluetooth for now\n\nThere is an old saying: Try, try, and try again, then give up, there is no use being a fool about things. And so for today, I have given up on the Bluetooth connection to focus on the USB and serial data exchange. I will get the TI system later in the month and use it to extend my sensor test lab. But for now, the Bluetooth connections are complicated, and will take more time than I have. But in later blogs I will pick it up again.\n\n# Third Step: See my next blog\n\nMy next blog will be on using the USB and serial connection with Arduino and Windows 8.1. If you do want to see the Bluetooth in action though, and you have one of the inexpensive HC-06 JY-MCU devices, use this working sample to get started: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Bluetooth-communication-7130c260, at the minimum you will need to have a HC-06 or HC-05 JY-MCU so that you can see it pair. If you have an Arduino or Netduino you can make the sample work for you.\n\nBut for now, I am switching to the USB approach.",

Silverlight is a micro-framework for developing client web applications, in particular web media applications. A micro-framework is a platform that trades off having a comprehensive set of features so that it can have a limited size for distribution and deployment. There have been similar examples of these kinds of micro-frameworks in the past, such as for mobile devices, cell phones, and even watches. The Silverlight niche is to fit into the space of web browser plug-ins. This is an interesting space because you generally have a lot more system resources available than for something like a cell phone, but you can't make users install an enormous download first like the full framework.\n\nTim Sneath has a list of trivia up about the release although you'll have to wait until MIX to see that last announcement. I won't have too much to say about Silverlight as I didn't work on it past its very early development.",

For applications which are already lean (10 round trips or less) they work quite well. Once you get into complex applications with features such as multiple hosts, HTTPS and excessive JavaScript, they can break down quickly.\n\nHow They Are Created\n\nCurrently the predictions rest upon an accurate TCP model which will predict how long a file of a certain size will take to download given both latency and a loss rate. This TCP model was tested and found to be very accurate for latencies between 25ms and 200ms.\n\nThe rest of the predictions come from logic expressing how browsers currently download objects. The main difference is that IE 7 only makes 2 connections per host while IE 8 makes 6 per host. Also IE 7 will halt all downloading when pulling down scripts while IE 8 will download scripts concurrently.\n\nThe TCP model, browser logic, and observed server processing time make up the current response time prediction implementation.\n\nWhat To Take Away\n\nRight now the prediction’s accuracy depends on the makeup of your application. If you are looking at simple, static, sites, you should find the predictions to be quite accurate. If you work with giant/complex web applications you should probably expect to see some “funny” numbers.\n\nThe Future\n\nIn the near future, the predictions will be tuned much more accurate. The goal is to also have predictions for non-browser HTTP traffic such as WCF thick clients. For the next release with updated prediction we will try and provide as much test data as possible showing the improvements and accuracy against other prediction methods.\n\nIn the end, regional response time is most heavily affected by your site’s design and settings. By running the performance report and tuning your app based on its suggestions (and having no significant backend delays) your users should have a great experience, no matter where they are located.\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nFebruary 12, 2009\n\nPingBack from http://www.clickandsolve.com/?p=7303",

There’s no doubt that many times there’s requirements to be able to provision sites as easily as possible from content editor perspective, so let’s still elaborate or evaluate different options and common misunderstandings with these options.\n\nDetailed explanation of different available options can be found from my previous blog post (also has step by step guidance on custom WebTemplate usage). Mirjam also has done good work on explaining WebTemplate in her blog post titled as same as this one. Notice that when I’m writing about web templates, I refer to WebTemplate element usage with onet.xml, not what get’s created when you save site as a template from browser (site template wsp package), even though site templates uses WebTemplate element in them.\n\nHere’s quick list of advantages and disadvantages on both approaches. Let’s also add some cloud perspective on the topics, since it seems to get cloudier and cloudier all the time, especially now with the Office365 being released few months back.\n\nNotice that I didn’t include feature stapling or features to the game, since in this post we’ll concentrate on having new options available in the Create Site functionality, rather than just changing how the existing templates will work using feature stapling or manual feature activation. Following chapters will list random pointers for both sides (advantages and disadvantages) which you should be considering when you create your technical plan for customizations.\n\n## Site definition\n\n* There’s no supported way to upgrade or modify already deployed site definition\n\n* It might work, but it’s not supported\n* There’s options to mitigate this, but there’s wider impact on architecture planning and technical solution\n* Site definitions are always deployed farm wide and cannot be targeted to more granular scope\n* There’s own template in VS2010 for site definition\n* Feature staplers can be targeted to site definitions\n* Variations will only work with site definitions\n\n* Note. This is not translation or multilingual solution, it’s for structural copy. Following sites as an example are not using variations – www.kone.com in English (US), Chinese and in Russia\n* Not supported by cloud services, like Office365 (Standard or Dedicated)\n* Upgrades to following SharePoint major version (o15) will require additional costs\n\n* All sites created using custom site definitions are stamped with custom identifier and won’t be upgraded automatically\n* Hierarchies can be easily created using separate xml formats\n\n* Requires usage of portal site templates, which is one example of site provisioning provider implementation\n* Only supported as farm solution deployable functionality\n\n## Web Templates\n\n* Can be easily updatable just by modifying onet.xml and deploying new version of that available\n\n* Note. Update does not have any impact on existing sites, since there’s no runtime reference to them\n* Can be targeted to Farm or Site collection level – provide more granularity for exposing site options\n* Feature staplers cannot be targeted to web template\n\n* Note. Since you can modify onet.xml directly and deploy new version of that anytime, there’s no use for feature stapling with WebTemplate element\n* Variations won’t work with WebTemplate element deployed onet.xml files\n\n* There’s already few custom solutions available, which makes variations also to work with sites created using WebTemplate elements. Logic is not that difficult, but requires customizations\n* Supported by cloud services, like Office365 (Standard or Dedicated)\n* Upgrades to following SharePoint version (o15) won’t require extra work – completely same as somebody would have created site using out of the box site definition and then activated extra custom features from site settings page\n\n* Actual features have be obviously upgraded correctly\n* Supports publishing features, like site definitions – so can be also used for Internet facing sites\n\n* Good example of Internet facing site created using WebTemplate elements in www.upm.com which also has numerous different languages (France, German, Finnish)\n* Hierarchies can be easily created using feature receivers and code\n\n* Provides actually more flexibility than portal site template option\n* Creating custom web template is easy as creating custom site definition\n\n* Note. Don’t start by importing existing site template (wsp package) as suggested in the MSDN. It’s much more easier to convert any existing site definition to web template simply by copying onet.xml and creating other required elements manually. Check my previous blog post for details.\n* There’s no designers in VS2010 for WebTemplate\n\n* This should be fixed by VS.next to promote multiple platform options – as in not to force to be only in on-prem like with site definitions – “We are all in…”\n* Can be deployed from farm solution or from sandbox solution\n\n* Notice that has to be obviously in Site Collection scoped feature, if deployed as Sandbox solution\n\n## I upgraded from 2007 and have site definitions – now what?\n\nIn 2007 we didn’t have any other options than using site definitions with certain business requirements, so it’s understandable that there’s numerous sites which are build technically using custom site definitions. These deployments won’t be cloud compliant unless dependency to these site definitions is removed. This means that these kind of deployments cannot be migrated to Office365 (Standard or Dedicated) without complete refactoring of code and content as pre-requisite.\n\nThese kind of refactoring projects are not simple and could be surprisingly expensive. If you are planning to migrate away from custom site definitions, you might want to consider to take a approach where you rebuild customizations using WebTemplate element and then migrate just the content from the existing sites to newly developed customizations. You might want to consider this as one of your options when you define required changes for the customizations anyway due the version upgrade from 2007 to 2010.\n\n## Summary\n\nAs a summary, you should be using WebTemplate element whenever possible to provide site provisioning options to your deployment.\n\nAs a Microsoft consultant, I also personally would prefer people to use more cost efficient options in long term when they design their customizations to avoid any hidden cost impact or unnecessary cleaning in later stages of the deployment life cycle. By using WebTemplate element over site definition, we still provide complete flexibility for the customers to host their SharePoint wherever they want (cloud or on-prem) and don’t cause any “stupid” technical limitations for their possible future cloud transition to any cloud platform (like Office365). Even though your deployment would have been currently planned to be an on-premises deployment, you shouldn’t lock it’s future by using site definitions and cause also additional costs as part of the upgrade to following SharePoint major version (o15).\n\nHopefully you were not forced to do any SP2003 to SP2007 upgrades where custom site definitions where used, but that’s exactly the route where using site definitions also in future will drive deployments. These migration issues should be major consideration point for any SharePoint deployment from overall costs perspective. By selecting WebTemplate approach, your deployment will be as easily updated to following SharePoint major version as it would be using simple stapled features. This has major cost impact on the overall lifecycle costs of the deployment.\n\nNotice also that since WebTemplate element usage is also based on same onet.xml structures like site definitions, you can easily learn how to use them, so that your customization architecture is following up guidance's to avoid any unintentional costs for the deployment during maintenance phase of the sites.\n\nSo – forget site definitions, start using WebTemplate elements in your deployments, this will be beneficial for your customers, you and any SharePoint deployment in short and long term.\n\nIf you disagree any of the pointers listed above, don’t hesitate to contact or write comments on this blog post. We would like to also understand what are the concerns and possible issues you might have run into. Thanks for the comments and pointers advance.\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nAugust 08, 2011\n\nGreat job explaining the difference between two technologies..

I thought to create a web template I export the site by using UI and then optionally import to VS? 'Notice that when I’m writing about web templates, I refer to WebTemplate element usage with onet.xml, not what get’s created when you save site as a template from browser (site template wsp package), even though site templates uses WebTemplate element in them.'* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJune 05, 2015\n\nHi Raj, by creating them manually, you can have much more control how they behave. See following blog series for details: blogs.msdn.com/.../webtemplate-training-materials-lab-4-upgrading-existing-sites-with-feature-versioning.aspx. In general this is however really old blog post and right now we do not recommend usage of WebTemplates either, rather usage of remote provisioning patterns. See following SPC14 presentation for example for details: channel9.msdn.com/.../SPC403 Here's also introduction to PnP provisioning engine, which is using this remote provisioning pattern and it provides you capability to skip usage of any template model, rather create new sites based on any existing site on fly. This way you can use just browser to create any configurations which are applied to the newly created sites: channel9.msdn.com/.../Introduction-to-PnP-site-remote-provisioning-engine If you have any other questions, would suggest using Patterns and Practices Yammer group at aka.ms/OfficeDevPnPYammer* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJuly 08, 2015\n\nNice article, thank you.",

This game built on the Wolfenstein engine in a lot of ways - and is really quite polished. It adds support for ceiling and floor textures - and has a really interesting variety of weapons and opponents. So why did I ignore it back in 1993 when it was released? Well - ID had already started talking about (and slipping on delivery of) DOOM. We were all eagerly waiting for non-90 degree walls, varied room heights, and the various other technological breakthroughs that were going to be in DOOM. As such - Blake Stone (which came out several months before DOOM) was a real let down.\n\nAfter I had got over the DOOM rush - I did go back and play this game some more - and really enjoyed it:\n\nBlake Stone runs wonderfully under Virtual PC.

Why else would spammers start to obfuscate the text in their spam (ie, V1@GR@ vs VIAGRA)? He has a point. Logically, one would think that as soon as spammers discover their spam isn't working they go and shift their tactics. This latest shift is in response a new anti-spam technique that is having some effect.\n\nOn our end, we do some image spam analysis, but alas, I haven't been involved in any of it (another department developed it for us). However, I can confirm that image spam matching does work although its effect is not all that noticeable. For one thing, our image-spam matching comes near the end of our pipeline (after my own image rules that I wrote a few months back that are pretty effective). So, the numbers will be quite a bit smaller than if we moved it forward so that it scanned more mail.\n\nFor another thing, we have discovered that anti-spam techniques that attempt to match spam based on image analysis only catches a small unique subset of mail that other techniques would have also caught. In other words, if Method A is image-spam content analysis and Method B is everything other than Method A, then in a group of 100 messages Method A only catches 2 messages that Method B does not.\n\nThis implies that a lot of anti-spam techniques tend to catch the same stuff.",

I have been pretty busy getting Update Rollup 2 ready and then working through some of the issues seen by customers after we released it. At any rate, I was sitting at the car dealership yesterday afternoon waiting for an oil change and tire rotation and decided to pick back up my effort to create a Media Center add-in.\n\nThe first thing I realized that I should do is check out the updated version of the Media Center SDK because we shipped an updated version at the same time that we released Update Rollup 2. So I started out by visiting the download site for the SDK and tried to download and install it. Since I already had the previous version of the SDK installed, I received a Windows Installer error dialog stating that another version of this product was already installed on the system. So I went and dug through my Add/Remove Programs control panel and uninstalled the version of the SDK that I had installed, then went back to the download site and this time it installed fine.\n\nI decided I wanted to try to look at the code and try to build one of the sample add-ins to get a feel for what this process looks like to the average add-in developer, and also because I wanted to see what the default add-in MSI would look like after using Visual Studio to build the MSI. I decided to start with the screen saver sample (located in C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft\\Microsoft Windows XP Media Center SDK\\Sample AddIns\\ScreenSaver if you install the SDK to the default location). I found the ScreenSaver.sln file and double-clicked on it to launch it in Visual Studio. I happened to have Visual Studio 2005 installed on my laptop, so I was prompted to convert the project files to the new format and stepped through the wizard to complete that task.\n\nI glanced briefly through the code in Connect.cs and it made reasonable sense from a conceptual perspective. So I decided to try to build the project by pressing Ctrl + Shift + B in the VS IDE. When I did that, it ran for a while and then gave me some error messages about unresolved references. As it turns out, there is a reference to the Microsoft.MediaCenter assembly in the References node in the VS Solution Explorer, and it had a yellow exclamation point next to it on my machine, which indicates that the file couldn not be found in the expected location on my system. It was expecting to find Microsoft.MediaCenter installed to the GAC, but since my laptop is running Windows XP Pro and not Media Center, that file didn't exist anywhere on my system.\n\nThis presented an interesting dilemma to me - how do I get Microsoft.MediaCenter onto my development machine so that it will be recognized and allow me to successfully build this screen saver sample? I had been planning to use a remote development strategy for creating an add-in (create it on a development machine, deploy it to a MCE machine to test it out, iterate as needed). I definitely wasn't planning on using my Media Center machine as both the development machine and the test machine - it is configured on my TV in my living room, is set to 1600x900 resolution so the standard Windows desktop is barely readable without squinting and getting eye strain, and it doesn't even have Visual Studio installed anyways. Plus, at the time I tried to build this project, I was sitting in a car dealership and didn't have access to a copy of Microsoft.MediaCenter.dll to work around this issue. I dug through the MCE SDK documentation for a little while but couldn't find any mention of specific steps to take to build the sample add-ins correctly. So I temporarily gave up on fixing the build until I got home.\n\nOnce I got home I found a copy of Microsoft.MediaCenter.dll on my Media Center machine, copied it to the GAC on my laptop by using gacutil.exe (a tool that is installed as part of the .NET Framework SDK), and tried again to build the ScreenSaver add-in. This time it worked fine for me - the assembly reference no longer appeared with a yellow exclamation point and the project built correctly.\n\nThis is about all I had the energy to try last night, so I'm going to end this post here. Next time, I'm planning on looking at the contents of the MSI that was created for the add-in and see if I can figure out a way to simplify the 26 step process in the SDK document entitled Creating a Windows Installer File for an Add-in.\n\n[to be continued]\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nNovember 12, 2005\n\nThe comment has been removed* Anonymous\n\nJanuary 12, 2006\n\nDon't know if anyone will even see this anymore since I'm a bit late in reading it.\n\nIs there something special you need to do in order to get the Microsoft.MediaCenter.dll to show up in Visual Studio 2003's Add Reference list? I've added it to the GAC using the gacutil. It's definately there because I see it using either \"gacutil /l\" or Windows Explorer. But when I do an Add Reference it doesn't show up. And choosing the Browse option is no help because as soon as I go into %windir%assembly it disables the Open button and won't let me choose anything in there.\n\nIn fact, I've noticed there are a number of assemblies in the GAC that aren't in VS's list.\n\nJeff* Anonymous\n\nMarch 07, 2006\n\nwhere do I find the dll file? I don't havea media center pc, just a win xp pro with vs.net and mc sdk's.\n\nPlease help.* Anonymous\n\nMarch 07, 2006\n\nHi Jeff - VS 2003 does not show assemblies that are installed in the GAC in the Add References list by default. You will need to manually browse to a local copy of Microsoft.MediaCenter.dll or use a technique like the one I described at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/11/28/497693.aspx to get it to appear in the Add References dialog. That last blog post refers to VS 2005, but the steps are pretty easily changed to work with VS 2003 instead.\n\nHi Yad - You have to get a copy of Microsoft.MediaCenter.dll from a Media Center machine. You will have to have a Media Center machine in order to install and test your add-in anyways, so I would not expect it to be a problem to find a copy of that DLL on the machine you are intending to test your application on.* Anonymous\n\nMarch 15, 2006\n\nHi, is there a place where you can download the Microsoft.MediaCenter.dll for developers that dont have MCE? Seems really strange that Microsoft doesn't ship this with the SDK as I don't think anyone would ever program add-ins on a MCE machine.* Anonymous\n\nMarch 15, 2006\n\nHi Bruno - No there is not a place to download Microsoft.MediaCenter.dll. I agree that developing applications on an MCE machine might not be too likely, but you can't realistically ship an application that has never been tested, and you have to have an MCE machine to test an MCE application on. If you have a machine to test on, you can get Microsoft.MediaCenter.dll from %windir%ehome on that machine to use on your development machine like I described in my blog post above...",

Stanek. You can purchase a copy here or here.\n\nTreat your self to a free PDF of this book’s sample chapters. They are available to download from the Microsoft Download Center here.\n\nHere is an excerpt from Chapter 6: Configuring roles, role services, and features.\n\n### Installing components with Server Manager\n\nServer Manager is the primary tool you’ll use to manage roles, role services, and features. Not only can you use Server Manager to add or remove roles, role services, and features, but you can also use Server Manager to view the configuration details and status for these software components.\n\nBy default, Server Manager is started automatically. If you closed the console or disabled automatic startup, you can open the console by tapping or clicking the related option on the taskbar. Another way to do this is by pressing the Windows key, typing ServerManager.exe in the Apps Search box, and then pressing Enter.\n\n# Viewing configured roles and role services\n\nServer Manager automatically creates server groups based on the roles of managed servers. When you select a role-based group in the left pane, the Servers panel shows the managed servers that have this role. As shown in Figure 6-1, the details for the selected server group provide the following information for all servers in the group:\n\n* The status of related system services. You can manage a service (and its dependent services) by pressing and holding or right-clicking and then selecting Stop Services, Start Services, or Restart Services. In many cases, if a service isn’t running as you think it should, you can tap or click Restart Services to resolve the issue by stopping and then starting the service.\n* Error and warning events the related services and components have generated recently. If you tap or click an event, you get additional information about the event (if available).\n* Summary information about the related role services and features, including the number of related role services and features installed as well as the name and subpath of the related role, role service, or feature in the UI. For example, with Storage Services, the component type is listed as Role Services and the path is listed as File And Storage Services\\Storage Services.\n\nFigure 6-1 View the status details for installed roles.\n\nYou can refresh the server details manually by tapping or clicking the Refresh Servers button on the toolbar. Otherwise, Server Manager refreshes the details periodically for you. If you want to set a different default refresh interval, tap or click Manage and then tap or click Server Manager Properties. Next, set the new refresh interval in minutes and then tap or click OK.",

Meier, is leading a project intended to provide renewed Architecture Guidance for the Microsoft platform, and specifically for .NET applications\n\nJ.D. was compiling input from different sources and launched a web site for his project in CodePlex (a Microsoft portal for community projects, most of them available with code, samples, screencasts and so on)\n\nI had the privilege of being enlisted in J.D. ' list an one of his inquiries was about my beliefs on exception handling. I had written a blog post three years ago about that although, ugh!, I did it in Spanish as I was living in South America at that time\n\nI was about translating my blog post for J.D. but better than emailing my outcome, I considered worth making my ideas of public domain, so here we go:\n\nThere are four common antipatterns (those are, bad practices, bad habits) when dealing with exceptions in today's platforms like .NET and Java. Those are:\n\n* Exaggerated \"exceptionalization\"\n* Unnecessary intervention\n* Negligent inaction\n* Inopportune handling\n\nLet's review each.\n\n* Exaggerated \"exceptionalization\". I heard about several software projects where their management thought that exceptions were made to address any abnormal situation. All abnormal situations. That way, data entry modules validated received input and before the first mandatory field left blank, the first entered date field violating the \"MM/DD/YYYY\" mask, etc, an exception was thrown. Just because the policy was throwing an exception for each abnormal situation\n\nThat got the programming cost more expensive as all that plumbing of exception throwing & catching was developer responsibility. But that was just to start: the code became illegible as the treatment of these exceptions was several line of codes further. Occasionally, several entries in the callstack further\n\nSo we can say they got two undesired consequences: too much code and illegibility. A better approach in cases like these should have handled validations in situ, giving control back to the user when some field was entered wrongly, in a simple and direct manner (that is, without changing an error for another one)* Unnecessary intervention. It's normal having code blocks that call modules that eventually throw exceptions. What I find anti natural -accepting that not everybody thinks as I do- is having to be prepared to react before any possible exception. I remember from my participation in a project at a multinational bank, that enclosing between a try - catch block every method call that could throw exception was imperative. And it was forbidden doing nothing inside the catch brackets. To prevent this, the project management staff asked certain development team members to build a robot that reviewed the project source code, hunting for empty catch's. After some while, the managers got finally convinced about the fact that not all the time there's something to do before an exception, but they just made their position a bit more flexible (and consequently, the robot), by allowing in such cases the chance of documenting inside the catch an explanation about why not to intervene. Since then, developers in a hurry to finish their part started entering explanations like /* dkjfhashakjbadshkjdkfjdhkj */ in empty catch's, and the robot has never found a violation of the rule again\n\nThe real thing behind this story is that, in any code segment, there will be exceptions thrown by module invocations which sometimes we could handle, so we could act in consequence, sometimes our involvement will be simply senseless. An example of this? The Data Access Layer (DAL) returns System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException because the connection string was sent with an expired password. The exception is caught in the Business Layer, the one that called the DAL. Does it make sense catching the exception in that place? Maybe to make the answer more obvious, the question could have been \"can the Business Layer create a new password for the DAL?\"\n\nThe right thing in that case is masking, before leaving the DAL, the low-level exception (coupled to ADO.NET in this case) as a high level one without losing the original exception as it's the one that holds the stack-trace). The original exception is usually known as root cause and logged, while the high-level exception is shown to the user. For more info, let's check next* Negligent inaction. This is the opposite scenario regarding the previous case, also negative. It happens each time we leave go any occurred exception without taking over not even to mask certain error messages in order to avoid slapping users faces with low-level explanations like the expired password when trying to connect to the database\n\nEluding any intervention, as a policy, leads to code with unpredictable behavior. That erodes its reliability from a development perspective, and its usability, from the users perspective\n\nHowever, how to set the correct degree of involvement without falling in the previous anti-pattern? As told before, masking the low-level exception into a higher one before leaving the layer or module where that exception is produced. Special care here, as I previously said, of original exception nesting as the new exception will be useful for presentation purposes (thinking in the user), while the original one will allow to understand what provoked it (when IT responsible personnel takes over) and the first measure in order to prevent these situations in the future, mostly if the cause is a software bug (the example of the expired database password does not belong to that category). Don't you remember having seen a web site where, after clicking in some submit button, you got a beautiful message in red characters, like [ODBC Exception, SQL code = ...] ? Wouldn't have been better logging that error while communicating to the user something like \"We are experiencing some difficulties. Please try again later or call to our operators at (XXX)XXX-XXXX\"* Inopportune handling. A customer of mine reclaimed about the low reliability of MS .NET regarding exception handling. He told me that they, before certain range of exceptions, had a handler invoked in the catch section. The handler generated a record in a database with the exception, with the end of taking monthly statistics on their software failures. Concretely, his recrimination towards .NET was that, while was generating the record in the database (low-level speaking, acting in a transaction-oriented manner with locking mechanisms, etc) the web user stayed waiting as a silly for an answer that, worst of worst, was abnormal\n\nWhen checking deeper, we found that the catch logic was executed by design in the same thread where the exception had been occurred. Therefore, if we are urged to let the user know that we couldn't, but we also want to generate a record for stats that are reviewed in a monthly basis, the advice here is perform simple logging (a plain text file, not even XML), loading the database in offline using, for instance, ETL mechanisms\n\nEven, if stats may be checked anytime and we want to have information updated, let's say, 10 minutes ago or even less, we can forget ETL by applying fire-and-forget mechanisms in the exception handler. For instance, the exception handler can post a message to a queue whose consumer -necessarily another thread or process- will complete the action by registering it into a database. Thus, the handler just post to the queue and returns the control to its invoking catch, which in turns will finish and return error and control to the user. The persistence logic stays, that way, decoupled and will be executed asynchronously\nI want to invite anyone to share experiences to J.D. , anti-patterns and their respective best practices in exception handling\n\nPS. An interesting study on Exception Handling is found in Rod Johnson's best seller \"Expert one-on-one: J2EE Design and Development\" (Wrox, 2003, pages 125-132). I strongly recommend its reading\n\n## Comments\n\n* Anonymous\n\nSeptember 17, 2008\n\nPingBack from http://housesfunnywallpaper.cn/?p=6320",

For those of you who do not know - Microsoft Operations Manager (also known as 'MOM') is a very useful tool for server administrators that allows them to have a single console through which they can manage and monitor all of their Microsoft servers. With this new management pack, people who use MOM can also use it to monitor and maintain their Virtual Server installations as well. Very cool.\n\nYou can download the MOM Pack for Virtual Server from here: https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B8BBF08F-134A-46CE-9D63-FB7EF5258059&displaylang=en\n\nCheers,\n\nBen",

Of late, tag clouds have been all the rage, and yet, when recently faced with the challenge of implementing one, I realized that the layout algorithm is non-trivial.\n\nIn the past, force directed layouts had been helpful, and so I thought of applying them here. If you're not familiar with the concept, the idea is to model an arbitray graph with nodes as charged particles connected by spring edges (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-based_layout for a more detailed discussion.) Computing the physics and running the algorithm iteratively causes the graph to untangle itself.\n\nTo get an idea how this works, check out the graph sample in Kevin Moore's WPF Bag of Tricks. The effect is quite nice, and should work nicely for tag clouds built in either WPF or Silverlight. This will be the topic of my next scintillating series (once I wrap up the mapping work I've been doing.)",

I’m back from my honeymoon and I want to follow-up to Rob’s last post on IE7 Security by providing you with more detail on Protected Mode’s compatibility features and by telling you about a related workaround to a known issue in the first Community Technology Preview (CTP) build of Windows Vista.\n\nAs Rob mentioned, Protected Mode helps to eliminate the silent install of malicious code through Windows Vista’s User Account Protection (UAP) technology by blocking writes outside of the Temporary Internet Files (TIF) folder. Protected Mode also leverages UAP’s User Interface Privilege Isolation (UIPI) to help prevent Window messages from being sent to higher privilege processes.\n\nFor this release, security is our number one priority and preserving compatibility is a close second priority. To maintain compatibility, Protected Mode launches broker processes at the user and admin privilege levels to accomplish elevated operations like saving web pages and installing ActiveX controls through UAP’s Application Info Service (AIS).\n\nUser Account Protection is enabled in the Windows Vista CTP build, but Protected Mode work is not done yet and hence users are unable to install ActiveX controls in the default configuration. To solve this problem, the following procedure can be used to temporarily elevate IE’s permissions:\n\n* Start IE with elevated permissions: click Start, point to All Programs, right-click IE, and then select Run Elevated.\n* Perform the ActiveX installation.\n* Exit the current instance of IE.\n* Start a new instance of IE normally (without Administrator permissions).\n\nProtected Mode also includes compatibility features which allow most add-ons to continue running unaffected and which provides impacted add-ons with feasible implementation options. For example, a compatibility layer automatically redirects file writes to the TIF, a new SaveAs API prompts the user with a File Save dialog thus allowing add-ons to write outside of the TIF, and the User-level broker provides a way for add-ons to bypass Protected Mode for certain secured API calls given user consent.\n\nFor more details on Protected Mode including a demo of how Protected Mode helps protect users, check out our Channel9 Interview of Rob Franco and Robert Gu, lead developer for Protected Mode.\n\nI look forward to writing more on this topic in the coming months and to reading your feedback on Protected Mode.\n\n- Marc\n\n## Comments\n\n* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nNice one Marc...keep updating us with good info* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nYou say it uses Vista's UAP. Does that mean that protected mode will not be available in XP?* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nDoes \"Run As Elevated\" require that the user enter their user account password before they can continue?\n\nOr will it require it to install ActiveX controls?\n\nI'd hate for the final version of Vista to make it so users feel they'll have a better experience when running IE in elevated mode.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nCorned Bee, Dean's post from the other day states, about Protected Mode:\n\n\"Because the foundation work to make this possible is in Windows Vista, this feature is not available on the XP version of IE7.\"\n\nAl Billings [MSFT]* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nRosyna presents a valid point, that is users ALWAYS, or being driven to the point to, using IE in elevated mode.\n\nEven Windows 2000 users still have a glimmer of hope by using least privilege, and creating a shortcut to Run As IE when elevated privileges are needed.\n\nSpeaking of XP, when can we expect an XP SP2 release of IE7? All you need to do is add tabs and the phishing filter and other minor things, but we won't be seeing all this in IE7 for XP so I thought we would expect a sooner release.* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nThe comment has been removed* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nRosyna: Yes, but you missed the point of Marc's post- running IE elevated to install an ActiveX control is just temporary in the CTP build of Windows Vista. It won't be that way at RTM.\n\nRedxii: Users in Windows Vista won't need to run in elevated mode. That's the point of Protected Mode, and all the work we're doing to make it functional. And, even if they do, IE still won't have all the priveleges of the user they're running it as (see previous blog posts). As for your question, \"when can we expect an XP SP2 release of IE7,\" well Beta 1 is already out. Folks who are on the Windows Vista beta have access. If your question is \"when is a public beta\" well-- you'll just have to wait for now. I don't believe there's been any public date released yet.\n\n-Christopher [MSFT]* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nChris, you and your buddies at Microsoft do realize that the IE7 and Vista beta are widely available over the internet...

But do you expect MS to advocate illegal distribution of any product? Furthermore, what odds are there that a warez'd copy contains some \"special surprises\" added by the crooks who pirated the code?* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nEven though its not relavant to post this topic here, though ieblog guys should know about this.\n\nHere is the latest bugs of IE7 on Vista:\n\nhttp://www.msvistablog.net/comment.php?comment.news.58* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nIf you're a legitimate tester, why don't you just submit the bugs through Connect like you're supposed to?* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nAnona, You mention Protected Mode not applying to a host of the WebOC. That's correct, in Protected mode, the IE process is actually launched with lower privileges so it does not apply to the WebOC. It is possible for any ISV to configure their application to launch with lower privileges. Any app that handles data from the network could be made safer by running with lower privilege. Based on the response I got at the PDC, don't be surprised if other products also decide to run with least privilege.\n\n- Rob Franco [MSFT]* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nThe comment has been removed* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nThe comment has been removed* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nThe comment has been removed* \n\nAnonymous\n\nJanuary 01, 2003\n\nDevelopers!

The lack of a TUI mode for this tool, combined with anaconda's failure in Phoebe (Bug #80401) to configure X left me with no way to get X running. This situation is generally unacceptable to the end user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.6.9-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run redhat-config-xfree86 2. watch it try to configure X, and repeatedly fail. Actual results: No way (short of manually hacking the XF86Config file) to get X running on my laptop. Expected results: Working X configuration, working X. Additional info: IMHO, this tool is the worst in the redhat-config-* suite. Whoever wants to take responsibility for it should take a good hard look at it from a usability perspective, given that there are situations where its \"magic\" simply fails. Using Xconfigurator (or adding an equivalent TUI mode) as a fallback option if the \"magic\" autodetection fails would be an adequate solution to this issue.\n\nDo you have any traceback info? I don't have that exact laptop, but my Compaq Presario 1700T laptop at home has a Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x (rev 64), which sounds similar although not identical. redhat-config-xfree86 works ok on that laptop. Also, can you try redhat-config-xfree86-0.7.1-1 out of Rawhide and see how that goes? I recently took ownership of this package and I am trying to give it more attention than it has received in the past. The code has changed a lot since 0.6.9-2. There's not time to add a TUI mode for GinGin, but I'd like to do that for the next release.\n\nIs there time to reinclude Xconfigurator? The guts of that application (hwdata, kudzu) are still present, it should work with little effort. That way, if redhat-config-xfree86 is not successful, it could print a little message for the user like \"I was not able to configure X Windows. You may want to try using Xconfigurator to manually configure X Windows.\" I'll get a more specific debug tonight, and I'll try the new package.\n\nI really don't want to include Xconfigurator again. The right answer is to fix redhat-config-xfree86. Although Xconfigurator has a text interface, it had plenty of open bugs against it when it was decommissioned. We don't have the resources to maintain two X tools since we can barely maintain one. Bringing it back now would be a nightmare.\n\nI assure you, Xconfigurator is totally, completely, irrevocably removed from Red Hat Linux, and will not return, ever. As Brent says, redhat-config-xfree86 is what we ship now, and we want bug reports for things that do not work. If anyone adds Xconfigurator, I'll make sure an rpm -e Xconfigurator is executed from within the X server binary at startup.\n\nredhat-config-xfree86-0.7.1-3 out of rawhide correctly detects and probes X on my laptop. :)\n\nI've got a new Sony VAIO R505G laptop, and even the latest Rawhide redhat-config-xfree86 is unable to autodetect the LCD display. (I've been able to use the generic laptop 1024x768 option, though.) (Also, ddcprobe does not return the monitor type.) For cases where the monitor type is not autodetected, I'd be very happy if the installer queried for the monitor type as soon as possible. (Since ddc doesn't work, how can LCD monitor type be determined? Is it impossible, or is something just waiting to get implemented?)\n\njsk29: some LCD's cannot be probed with ddcprobe, usually ones with laptops. Most flatpanel monitors these days can be probed, like my Dell 1702FP at home, but laptop screens must do something different at the hardware level. Apparently X has some way of probing these kinds of monitors, but this probing is not (as far as I know) made available to programs other than X via an API. We are investigating ways to try to go about this, whether that's parsing the output of the X.log when starting X fails (this logfile usually contains the probing information) or whether it means pulling the actual probing code out of X itself. I can't promise that we'll have this fixed for the next release, but we're definately aware of the problem.\n\nThe general methods for probing LCD's in no particular order are: 1) DDC probe 2) BIOS calls 3) BIOS snooping 4) ACPI info The only one that is very reliable is DDC, however DDC is not implemented on a large number of LCD panels, which sucks. Furthermore, the other 3 methods are rather extremely hardware dependant and not very reliable. Windows has a bit of an advantage here, because a laptop comes with driver disks, .INF files, etc. specifically designed for that laptop / LCD, which inform Windows of what it needs to know, in addition to the various probing techniques. We unfortunately (the open source community) do not enjoy these luxuries yet.\n\nThanks for the rundown Mike, that was very useful. If I can be of any help learning how to identify the VAIO R505G displays, let me know. I had figured that the preinstalled drivers were giving Windows an unnatural advantage. Hopefully someday Sony will decide to Red Hat certify all of their laptop hardware. :) Thanks again!",

It is not, however, configured to avoid forwarding unsatisfied requests to that domain externally. That may cause DNS loops in some particular use cases, among which is one I'll describe next. I'm using NetworkManager, that also sets up it's dnsmasq instance to locally proxy requests to external resolvers. I want libvirt's virtual machines to be accessible by their hostnames from my host system, under the same domain I configured libvirt to serve. To achieve that, I set up the proxy dnsmasq (call it DNS-P) to relay requests to libvirt's dnsmasq (DNS-L) with the following configuration: server=/virt.danielqm.lan/192.168.122.1 libvirt's network is configured as: default418506a2-5a6f-410a-a522-ca1bb83ede9c Everything works correctly when requesting valid domains: DNS-P happily forwards the request to DNS-L and gets an answer. Trouble appears when an unknown domain is requested. DNS-P will forward to DNS-L, which will not have an answer, then try to forward to the system resolver, which is DNS-L. That will cause an infinite loop that will exhaust the maximum allowed simultaneous queries of both servers. Observing the dnsmasq configuration generated by libvirt, I notice it does not mark the served domain as local, which would stop any requests to it from being forwarded. Adding the following to the generated configuration would be sufficient to fix the issue as far as I could test it: local=/virt.danielqm.lan/ In addition to the already existing line with: domain=/virt.danielqm.lan/ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt 1.2.18.2-2.fc23 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up NM's resolver to forward to libvirt's 2. Make a query to an invalid hostname in libvirt's domain Actual results: The two dnsmasq instances DoS each other. Expected results: Loops are avoided and libvirt's DNS responds immediately with not-found for invalid queries of it's configured domain.\n\nThis problem was encountered and solved quite awhile back. To eliminate the loop, modify this line in your libvirt network config: to this: (use \"virsh edit default\" to make the change, then when you're done, run \"virsh net-destroy default && virsh net-start default\". You will need to shutdown and re-start any guest that was using the network at the time.) This changes the dnsmasq setup in exactly the manner you describe. Note that this cannot be done by default due to libvirt's policy of maintaining default behavior of existing functionality in new releases (so as not to break functioning setups), and also because it's probably more likely that the original behavior is what's desired. See: http://www.libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html for more configuration options for libvirt networks.\n\nI looked around the documentation quite a lot and managed to miss it.

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download .iso for Test #4 Live CD 2. Burn .iso 3. Leave in drive and reboot 4. try to figure out where the installer is on reboot. 5: Realize the install to hard drive is missing and anaconda won't run. Actual results: No installation of KDE Live CD. Expected results: Was hoping to install from KDE Live CD. Can't stand gnome. Additional info: I apologize if this bug report comes off as a bit... jerkish. I'm just trying to figure out how the install feature could have been left out of the KDE version.\n\nThis comes up fine here -- are you logging in as the fedora user for the live CD?\n\nHave the same problem if I choose a language in the login screen: No shortcut to the install program. OK if I log directly without choosing any language: In that case I find the Install shortcut onto my desktop\n\nThe file /home/fedora/Desktop/liveinst.desktop should be placed there during the login. If you login as root it would be hidden (KDE seems to don't like \"NoDisplay=true\" in liveinst.desktop. This is replaced by \"NoDisplay=false\" for User \"fedora\"). /home/fedora/Desktop/liveinst.desktop should be definetily there. You should at least see it in a terminal with \"ls /home/fedora/Desktop\"\n\nI made a new test. I choosed the French language in the login screen. Then I put that language as default in the popup window asking if the language is just for that session or by default. After login I confirm that the Icon is not displayed on the desktop. The file liveinst.desktop exists but is in the folder /home/fedora/Bureau/ (and not /home/fedora/Desktop/) You will notice that 'Bureau' is the French translation of 'Desktop'. Surprisingly, If I move the file liveinst.desktop in the right folder (/home/fedora/Desktop/), I still don't see the icon on the desktop.\n\nAh, only English works atm, we need to integrate xdg-user-dirs. This is a kde-specific issue then (not really livecd)... I'll re-assign this in a bit, when I figure out where best to put it.\n\nFor the final we will use kdm with autologin. So this problem would not occur. Also I replaced \"NoDisplay=true\" with \"NoDisplay=False\" in /usr/share/applications/liveinst.desktop directly. So if someone boot with \"live_locale=\" there would be at least a icon in the menu.\n\nSebastian, has all the changes required to fix this problem already been committed and tested? What's the status?\n\n(In reply to comment #7) > Sebastian, has all the changes required to fix this problem already been > committed and tested? What's the status? I've committed the changes described in comment #6 before I wrote that comment. But the main problem here is that the integration of xdg-user-dirs needs some love (see comment #5). So maybe I should re-assign this to Rex and/or Than?\n\nOh. Just to make this clear: My changes are for livecd-fedora-kde.ks (for the livecd), not for kdebase or xdg-user-dirs.\n\nReassigning to kde-settings, removing FC7Blocker (since we don't non-English atm anyway)\n\n* Tue May 15 2007 Rex Dieter 3.5-24 ... - kdeglobals: xdg-user-dirs integration: Desktop, Documents (#238371) Basic/initial integration, inserting into kdeglobals: [Paths] Desktop[$e]=$(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP) Documents[$e]=$(xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS) So that the output of the following now match: kde-config --userpath desktop = xdg-user-dir DESKTOP kde-config --userpath document = xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS Now, we can do likewise for multimedia app configs wrt to XDG_MUSIC_DIR, XDG_PICTURES_DIR, XDG_VIDEOS_DIR\n\nFollowup additions: * Fri May 18 2007 Rex Dieter 3.5-27 ... - kdeglobals: [Paths] Trash[$e]=$(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP)/Trash/ - Requires: xdg-user-dirs",

Like I said, the keyboard and mouse were both unresponsive.\n\nFWIW, I'm also facing the session restore issue. I've filed a bug upstream, so far there has been no response: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437551\n\nHello, I am having this problem as well. I upgraded from Fedora 33 to 34. Session restoration worked well under Fedora 33 but only currently restores to the first virtual workspace under Fedora 34. I am using X11 and sddm in both Fedora 33 and 34, and plasma-workspace-5.22.3-2.fc34.x86_64 if they are relevant.\n\nAny idea of where one can find the format of ~/.config/session/'kwin_saved at previous logout_'. Only firefox seems to go to the right virtual desktop.\n\nI believe this must be related to Wayland and display managers other than kdm. I experienced scrambled desktops under Wayland and either gdm and sddm. I switched back to kdm and open the session with kde in X. Since the desktops had been scrambled,I reset my desktops. Now all is ok, but I am afraid to use sddm, gdm or Wayland with kde.\n\nThere must be a bug in either the session saver or the session restore. If we knew what the format of the session file was then we could tell where the problem lays. I use sddm and start kde with X. The oddity that firefox is restored to the right desktop is confusing. I did try with a new user, creating 4 desktops and the problem reoccurred. This is really getting tiresome. Every time a new kernel is put out and one reboots the problem raises it ugly head. Since you know how to bypass the problem, maybe you could do a controlled experiment by only changing one of the things at a time. I have not tried kdm in years. It used to be quite buggy.\n\nSDDM is the default window manager for KDE. KDM does not appear to be actively maintained except for severe bugs. So there may be some risk using KDM going forward.\n\nIn my experience, the display manager has little to do with session management, ie, testing kdm is likely not a good use of your time. Upstream kde is aware of the issue.\n\nI just tried kdm and problem seems to persist there so I switched back.\n\nI had to reconstruct my desktops after switch to kdm and when starting at login use X and not Wayland. Kdm will not reconstruct the desktops to what they were before they were corrupted. You have to remake them yourself. As far as kdm being end of life, at least the code in it must be reading and writing the correct format for saving and restoring sessions.\n\nI logged using kdm. Switched all my apps to the desired desktops and re-logged in. The problem persisted. Small non detailed test.\n\nI had to delete the .kde directory from an ssh log in, then logged in, arranged desktops, logged out, and logged back in. Everything was as I had set it. I tried gdm and it scrambled my desktops again. I repeated deleting the .kde directory and the process and have been using kde with kdm since.\n\nFyi: .kde/ for used only by legacy kde3/kde4 applications. Modern plasma uses xdg-related dirs like .cache, .config, and .local\n\nI just related what I did. It worked. I am using kde with kdm under X on Fedora 34 every day.\n\nI find it interesting that since modern plasma doesn't use the .kde directory that the .kde is being re-created after it is deleted. Something must think it is necessary. Not only that, the data in the .kde/share/config/kdeglobals file is updated. That does appear to be the only file that is updated.\n\nIt is interesting that a lot of people are not complaining about this issue. Just updated a lot of plasma rpms ( e.g. plasma-desktop.x86_64 5.22.5-1.fc34 ) and the problem persists. This suggests that it something peculiar to my setup. Earlier I did create a new user on my system with 4 virtual desktops and the problem was there. This suggests something in the global part of my setup.\n\nSeems to be finally fixed for me after update to Plasma 5.23.2 (or 5.23.3, not sure which one exactly). Yay!\n\nPlasma 5.23.3 on my system seemed to have fixed it after upgrading my Fedora system to FC35. But after logging out and on it seems to have reverted to the old behaviour. First boot after upgrade was to old behaviour. Had to rebuild grub.cfg to pick up the FC35 kernel. Next reboot showed the correct behaviour. Started \"System Settings\" on Desktop 1 and moved it to Desktop 4. Started \"waterfox\" (branch of firefox) on Desktop 2 and logged out in an attempt to check if it was fixed. The old behaviour returned.\n\nAfter a little research here is the situation on my machine (lenovo P50 running Fedora 35 as of today). If I delete all of the files in .config/session and start applications in each of my 4 virtual desktops, then logout and login all 4 applications (Konsole, system settings, dolphin and kpatience) are started in their correct virtual desktop. If I then immediately logout and login it reverts to the old behaviour. So it looks like there is a step in the right direction but it is not solved yet. So with an empty .config/session directory the save/restore session works fine. But with files already in .config/session either the \"save session\" messes up the files already there or \"restore session\" process is confused about the second set of files saved.\n\nJust to add to the chorus: I also have this problem, and have had it for several months. I'm running up-to-date Fedora 34, X11 with the NVIDIA driver. My session is saved automatically on logout. Upon login, the Konsole windows open with the correct size and correct placement on screen, but all on virtual desktop 1 instead of their previous locations. This is 100% reproducible. Chrome windows restore to the correct virtual desktop, so perhaps this problem is limited to KDE apps.\n\nThis message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.

Would you like to run it?\". Definitely not and under NO circumstances. The question is misplaced. If, with another CD, this dialog does not show up then an unwanted browser window automatically pops-out. Moreover options which allowed to change that EXTREMELY UNDESIRABLE behaviour, and where defaults should be really the other way around, vanished from \"Removable Drives and Media\" preference menus.

I spent some time today looking for this mythical UI and so far I drew blank. There is definitely nothing under \"Preferences->Hardware->Removable Drives and Media\" where anything of a kind \"drives\" is not even mentioned. I tried other possibilities too and so far I am out of luck. Scanning through and ouput of 'gconftool-2 -R /' was also of not much help. I cannot exclude that on this long list indeed there is something but nothing which would for me be even remotely \"obvious\". Therefore I would highly appreciate some more specific information than \"oh, there is something somewhere\" from comment #1. If this is indeed the case, and I cannot find it after a prolonged search, then I see that as a serious BUG. Another bug is an obvious regression. I had a system configured to behave in a certain way, something got updated, and my configuration was not carried over; even if some other component took over those duties. That should not happen. Last but not least I was told on numerous occassions that if I am not sure what is responsible for a broken behaviour I should file a bug anyway and developers later will sort out correct components and assignees later. Closing bugs because I have a component wrong directly contradicts this information. I would rather not play \"whack-a-mole\" with that. Thank you!\n\nSorry, but this is Fedora; there is no expectation of settings being preserved from one version to another. The UI is in the Nautilus preference UI, it's at System->Preferences->Personal->File Management. Then it's the tab called \"Media\". The gconf settings are in apps->nautilus->preferences under media_*. Btw, there was no need to reopen this bug just because you feel that someone is obligated to answer questions that could be answered by you doing some simple research.\n\n> Sorry, but this is Fedora; So you are saying that if one day we will see instead of a desktop an interface to your washing machine then this will be ok. Right? > System->Preferences->Personal->File Management Yeah, totally clear to everybody that removable media will be under \"File Management\". I wonder why not under \"Look and Feel->Screensaver\"? Also a good and \"obvious\" place. Still if you would tell that right away everybody would waste much less time. > There's both UI and gconf keys to customize / disable this. And for everybody should be crystal clear that an addition of 'x-content/software' to 'media_autorun_x_content_ignore' list is what is required to fix a broken default behaviour and that even when 'x-content/software' key is not showing up in any other context.

For example: If the directory /home/myacct/.netscape is specified in the -T file, tar backs up the entire directory rather than JUST the directory. This ends up tarring more files than were specified in the -T file. When the --gzip option is used, the problem appears to be more pronounced and seems to loop on large files backing them up multiple times. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo \"/home/myaccount/.netscape\" > my.list 2. tar -cvPf my.tar -T my.list 3. # You will notice that this not only backs up /home/myacct/.netscape, but also /home/myacct/.netscape/cache, etc. I can reproduce the --gzip problem but the results vary from run to run. The -T file contains ! 9,000 fileIDs. Actual Results: tar dumped the /home/myacct/.netscape/cache/* directory and all it's contents including all the other directories and files under /home/myacct/.netscape. It doesn't appear to do this with the other directory entries in the -T file. Expected Results: I expected the -T option to take the files listed in my.list and only back them up. It should have backed up the directory name: /home/myacct/.netscape and nothing else. The documentation says the file specified by -T contains the files that are to be created. Perhaps the documentation should state that entire directories get backed up. This may not be as much of a bug as I first thought. But the --gzip option did cause freaky results which varied as I tried to re-create it.\n\nThe first part is intentional -- echo \"/home/user/.netscape\" >list tar cf foo.tar -T list does the same as tar cf foo.tar /home/user/.netscape and is supposed to do just that.

Easy to test out xrandr -s 800x600 inkscape\n\nNot a whole lot I can do on this one. Filed upstream at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1719858&group_id=93438&atid=604306 though i wouldn't expect a quick response. I might close as WONTFIX if i don't hear anything from above... Did you know VMWare WS can adjusts the resolution of a Linux guest OS dynamically as you're resizing the window on the host ? It's pretty neat. Or is this happening with Xen VMs ?\n\nPretty sure VMware doesn't do that, but it's been a while since I've poked at it. This is with qemu/xen/kvm. But I know that VMware will come up as 800x600 by default due to a lack of monitor EDID info. It seems a little thing, but lots of reviewers end up testing in environments like this and if we're going to have inkscape on the default live image, then we probably do want to get this fixed if we can. If you need some help working on a fix, let me know and I'll try to carve a little bit of time up to poke at it or ask on fedora-devel-list\n\nVMWare has supported randr resize since 5.0 (or is it 5.5?), though you need to compile the guest toolbox, which requires the any-any patch on FC-6. I use workstation 5.5.4 a lot on FC-6 host to test my fc-5 and fc-7 packages. Just maximize the console window and bam the guest resizes automatically. Anyways. The windows size limitation here are the horizontal and vertical toolbars. Since this is gnome, you can drag them out of the window which will then let you resize the window down to the menu width. To have the toolbars \"compressible\" (as in thunderbird for example, the masked toolbar buttons become available in a small submenu on the right of the toolbar) will require some non-trivial gtk hackage to improve the custom widgets inkscape is using for their toolbars. I don't think they use the standard GtkToolbar (it's compressible by default, but has many undesirable restrictions). I think this discussion needs to happen on the upstream mailing list, let me post something quick.\n\nUpdate: upstream bug is http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1469554&group_id=93438&atid=604306\n\nIn 0.46pre1 the window doesn't fit even into 1024x768. https://bugs.launchpad.net/fedora/+source/inkscape/+bug/168648\n\nThis should probably be closed as WONTFIX\n\nInkscape windows fits to 1024x768 with small icons (default in Fedora). 800x600 will only be fixed if someone implements collapsing of vertical toolbars, similar to ones present for horizontal ones (being discussed upstream). If you really need to run it at 800x600, detach the vertical toolbar.",

I am marking this high priority and high severity because it was so unexpected!!\n\nOK, I confirmed that I can repeat this. Also, if I disable my network connection, the preferences panel comes up. However, it still tried to do this crazy stuff. I got a message on the terminal about trying to get to www.redhat.com but that the attempt failed.\n\nIt is supposed to do these things. The patch I sent in puts all the messages on the status bar of the window which is better\n\nOK, so this is a \"feature\". But why do it when I have no intension of using webfind? Also, why aren't these files packaged with gnorpm?",

Currently, if a deployment was made from the CLI and then a user opens the GUI - the plan configuration will not reflect the environments that were used. The CLI should: 1) Create the plan-environment.yaml in the swift container, same as the GUI does 2) Populate the \"environments:\" section with the environment files that were used in the command line 3) Populate the \"parameter_defaults:\" section with the counts (e.g. ControllerCount, ComputeCount etc') and flavors (e.g. OvercloudControllerFlavor, OvercloudComputeFlavor etc') 4) Populate whatever other default parameters that were passed in the environments that were listed on the command line (e.g. the SSL certificates if they were provided, and more...) 5) Resource mappings are currently not possible and not supported in the GUI, so a specific solution is needed to support saving resource mappings in the plan in swift A CLI user who didn't save the deployment command of the initial overcloud deployment, and later needs to know what command was used in order to do the upgrades, should be able to find all the info in the plan - same as GUI users can. Updating an overcloud deployment should be possible by editing the files stored in swift, and running the \"openstack overcloud plan deploy\" command, even if the initial deployment was not done from the GUI.\n\nI agree this is really important, both for parity between the UI and CLI as well as to improve the user experience. Steve Hardy has been doing a ton of work around this, mainly to stop the CLI from merging environments before deploying, which is causing a number of issues and differences when deploying with the UI vs CLI: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1635409 There's a couple dozen patches in there, many merged already so I'll only link to the ones that are still open.\n\nThe CLI already creates a plan-environment.yaml file which is informative enough to reconstruct the deployment command. The GUI won't always realize that the environment files that were used from the file system are equivalent the ones in capabilities-map.yaml.",

It doesn't even accept incoming packets from other ongoing netdumps. So on my netdump server, which services hundreds of clients, I get failed netdumps simplying because one that didn't fail it gzip'ing, and the other netdump clients timeout after a while. I suspect that gzip isn't required.... \"sleep 1h\" should do the same thing. Is the netdump-server not capable of both running one of scripts AND continuing to process other currently active netdump sessions? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): netdump-server-0.7.7-3.i386.rpm in RHEL4 U2 Shoud should be filled under netdump-server, but I couldn't find that compenent in the list. -- Additional comment from anderson on 2006-01-13 17:38 EST -- Can you do the gzip command in the background? The netdump-server just does a \"system()\" of the script. -- Additional comment from anderson on 2006-01-13 17:41 EST -- i.e., cd $2 (sleep 10; nice gzip -9 vmcore) & -- Additional comment from joshua on 2006-01-13 17:50 EST -- Can't netdump-server do the right thing here? Wouldn't an error in the script effectively halt all netdump activity on the server until it was restarted? Surely the netdump-server can fork off a process for the script. -- Additional comment from anderson on 2006-01-13 17:54 EST -- If the script failed, the system() function would just return, and the netdump-server would continue. Surely it could fork off a process, but it doesn't... ;-) (Sorry -- I didn't write the damn thing.) -- Additional comment from joshua on 2006-01-13 18:18 EST -- If the script does something that never returns, bad bad things would happen. The netdump-server can provide more robust behavior by forking off the script, and not leaving itself so open to killing off all other netdump sessions. The code isn't set in stone? ie, if we come up with a better way for it to work, can't it be changed? Do you not have permission to change the code? I understand that you didn't write it... but if only the original authors could change the code... well... we would still all be running Solaris :-) -- Additional comment from anderson on 2006-01-13 18:26 EST -- No, but if (1) I fixed it today, and (2) if it was deemed a requirement for a future netdump package errata -- which is no small task getting it that permission from the powers-that-be -- you wouldn't see it in a release errata for many months from now. The next netdump errata is already in the pipeline, and even that won't hit the streets for quite some time. I feel your pain... -- Additional comment from anderson on 2006-01-18 09:13 EST -- Upon further review (I've been watching too much football lately), please consider the following. There are four optional netdump-server scripts: netdump-start: Run when a new client does a \"service netdump start\". netdump-crash: Run when a client initiates a handshake after a crash. It cannot be run in the background because its success/failure determines whether the netdump-server starts a netdump operation or requests the client to just reboot. netdump-nospace: Run when a netdump operation has been accepted, but there is not enough space to hold the vmcore. It cannot be run in the background because its intended use is to allow the netdump-server to clear out space if possible, and if it is successful, does a retry of the space check. netdump-reboot: Run after a vmcore has been created, and just before requesting that the client reboot. So the question is whether to make the netdump-reboot, and perhaps the netdump-start, scripts run in the background, making their operation inconsistent with the other two. If a user decides to have their script file perform a time-consuming task, then the user need only add an ampersand to avoid blocking the netdump-server. So there really is no problem/bug here. Furthermore, it can be argued that, depending upon what the user wants their script to accomplish, that the script *should* be run in the foreground, i.e., the netdump-server should wait before continuing to process any more activity. How do we know that some other customer has something being accomplished by their netdump-reboot script that *should* be waited for? Changing the code now would break that behavior. In my opinion, the process should remain as it is, so that the process can remain as flexible as possible. The user should have complete control as to whether to run the scripts in the foreground or background. -- Additional comment from joshua on 2006-01-18 13:51 EST -- Well said. I mostly buy this line of reasoning. Remember thought that a script that isn't backgrounded halts *all* netdumps, not just the one for which the script is running. Think enterprise: you are pointing 100s or 1000s of machine at a single netdump-server. It isn't uncommon to see multiple netdumps at the same time. One mistake in a script, or just a script that takes a while, will cauase *all* other netdumps to fail. If you don't think that is reason enough to change netdump-server's behavior, perhaps we should change the documentation or man page to point this important fact out. -- Additional comment from anderson on 2006-01-18 15:18 EST -- I can certainly agree that a documentation change is reasonable, to both the package README and the netdump-server(8) man page.\n\nFix checked in to RHEL-3 CVS, version 0.7.16-1.1\n\nAn advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.

Could you please check whether the following patch fixes the issue for you? https://github.com/lkundrak/linux/commit/e88886956244c67d924d612c9a8af7d01f1adc26\n\nUnfortunately, I no longer own the IONICS Stratus, so I cannot try out the proposed fix. However, the patch you mentioned sure seems like a good candidate. Matt - you had a similar problem. Are you in a position to try the fix?\n\nI will try this with my sheevaplug - it will be a couple of weeks before I can get to it though. I'm in the middle of a huge deadline. Sorry! Actually, if you have a compiled kernel rpm package I can try it sooner, but I don't have an ARM build setup going right now.\n\nMatt, this is what I use on my Guruplug currently: http://fedorapeople.org/~lkundrak/kernel-kirkwood/ Hope it helps!\n\nLubomir, does that kernel have the patch you suggested applied? I have installed it on my sheevaplug, and all seems well so far. I'll report back if any soft lockups happen. Thanks! Matt\n\nJust a followup - looks good so far. Haven't had any lockups under the circumstances that previously caused them. However, I do get messages like these in the messages file: [92579.500850] mv_xor mv_xor.0: mv_xor_clean_completed_slots 362 [92579.500914] mv_xor mv_xor.0: mv_xor_prep_dma_memcpy dest: 18ad9960 src 1d0cb084 len: 258 flags: 18 [92579.500936] mv_xor mv_xor.0: mv_xor_prep_dma_memcpy sw_desc de692000 async_tx de69203c [92579.500951] mv_xor mv_xor.0: mv_xor_tx_submit sw_desc de692000: async_tx de69203c [92579.500968] mv_xor mv_xor.0: mv_xor_start_new_chain 270: sw_desc de692000 [92579.500980] mv_xor mv_xor.0: activate chan.

What you see is expected -- it's based off Rawhide kernel that has tons of debugging and sanity checks enabled (this is from CONFIG_DMA_DEBUG or something like that), equivalent to kernel-debug from release builds. It is probably a bit slower than release kernel as well, thus if you intend to use this, you may want to reapply the patch to a release kernel instead. Have a nice 2013!\n\nAs mentioned on the linux-arm-kernel mailing list, removing these checks is wrong. The hardware imposes a minimum buffer size of 16 bytes. In practice, any DMA operation less than 128 bytes are rejected, because software will be faster than setting up the DMA, handling the interrupt when its finished, scheduling and running a tasklet, and running the completion callback etc. The crypto/async_tx/async_memcpy.c:async_memcpy() functions has no issues with this minimum size limit, it falls back to memcpy().\n\nHave you tried the following. On low memory systems it basically keeps a little free for things like network buffers. We've seen it helps for some other ARM platforms. cat << EOF > /etc/sysctl.conf vm.min_free_kbytes = 12288 EOF\n\nTwo notes: I tried kernel-kirkwood-3.7.3-101.fc17.armv5tel, and it seemed to still suffer from this problem. I have been running Lubomir's patch for two months without encountering this bug, so something he did should give a clue as to what the problem is, even if it's not the \"right\" fix. It seems vm.min_free_kbytes = 12288 is already set by default by initscripts-9.37.2-1.fc17.armv5tel, so that does not address this issue.\n\nPlease retest with 3.8.x\n\nPlease reopen this bug. I still have this problem with the latest kernel, 3.8.3-102.fc17.armv5tel.kirkwood.\n\nPlease reopen this bug. The current kernel still has this problem.",

Rebuild initrd.img to include your network driver and update the pcitable, modules.dep, and module-info 2. add 'device eth 3c59x' or whatever you driver is to ks.cfg 3. watch it crash when it attempts to load drivers Actual results: Installer exits abnormally with signal 11 received. Expected results: Load the driver and continue the install Additional info: This is a show stopper for me and I know a lot of other people. What good is a kickstart function if you can't automate with net drivers? Please let me know what else I should provide. -Mike\n\nUpdate on this....If you add --opts=0 to the device line, then all works well. I'm still not sure why the installer isn't picking up the nic card on a probe. After the build, it has NO problem seeing the card and the module is loaded just fine.\n\nGo ahead and close this if ya like. There is still a problem I believe with the lack of --opts on the device line causing a complete bail out. I don't need the device line any more. Can you say TABS instead of SPACES in pcitable :)\n\nOk good to hear its working. Jeremy - shouldnt our parsing be more robust against this type of failure?\n\nFixed in CVS\n\nMass-closing lots of old bugs which are in MODIFIED (and thus presumed to be fixed). If any of these are still a problem, please reopen or file a new bug against the release which they're occurring in so they can be properly tracked.",

Can't tell if its only occuring on divx video. I have installed mplayer, and said that .avi files should be opened with gmplayer Actual Results: cpu maxes at 100% until prosess is killed Expected Results: maybe not trying to make a thumbnail of .avi files?

Can you really reproduce this every time you enter a folder in nautilus containing divx video? Are you sure it's gst-register?\n\nI was able to reproduce every time it on my laptop. Going to check if the bug's still there. Yes, I am shure it was gst-register, as I checked with top. It looked like it tried to index the folder.\n\nDo you have any custom RPMs installed or is this all FC1?\n\nSome of my RPM's is from freshrpm's (as I have used this as a way to get faster download speeds (borowing network uplink from friends and my school - I use ISDN at home, plus up2date is really buggy. Yes, i know I can use YUM directly, but...) and ability to use synaptic), and maybee som packages from livna (mp3-patched rhytmbox - didn't work. Guess these are replaced with something from freshrpms by now.), pluss some various sources (general software downloaded from the net. I honestly don't remember everything). Is there some log file etc. you would be interested in looking at? I might even be able to forward the ssh port for you. Again, i'm on an ISDN uplink and it will not be possible for me to fix that shell-thing during the next few days (easter). When checking, i see that the bug has mysteriously gone away (as far as I can see - not any extensive testing done, but the bug was really easily reproduced), and everything now works great.\n\nIf it occurs again then please reopen the bug.",

An obscure message during the install said there was not enough disk to complete the install onto the 1 GByte disk - it says how much more space would have been needed, but the phrasing suggests this is the size of the disk. I did manual partitioning, and put /boot swap and /home onto the 1 Gbyte disk, and put / onto the 2 GByte disk. I had to drop staroffice and some packages like cd burner and scanner support to get it to fit into 2 GBytes. It installed and rebooted beautifully, though things were pretty slow in 64 megabytes of ram. Rebooting the next day did not go so well. Everything works up to the point where it goes to mount / read/write. This fails, logs a message, and then the kernel loads and gives a panic message.

This doesn't affect ImageMagic tools in any way but affects the ability of other image processing tools included with 5.1 (and 5.2) distribution to process files produced by ImageMagick utilities. In particular, none of the netpbm tools included as part of the libgr package can process pnm files produced by ImageMagick tools. Any proprietary software written to use libppm fails to read ppm files produced by ImageMagick tools. Since most image processing utilities use the 8-bits-per-channel standard I think that ImageMagic binaries should be recompiled to use the same standard.

I upgraded two RH6.2 systems from sendmail-8.9.3-20 to sendmail-8.11.6-1.6.x.i386.rpm. After the upgrade. I tried to restart and sendmail told me that it couldn't find the sendmail.cw file. I checked the sendmail.cf.rpmnew file and saw that that information had moved to /etc/mail/local-host-names. This was referenced in the new sendmail.cf file. So I copied the sendmail.cf.rpmnew over sendmail.cf, luckily preserving a copy. I restarted sendmail and everything seemed to be good. These machines are web servers so most of the email is outgoing as opposed to incoming. Today, 09-12-01, I recieved a report that one of the mail aliases wasn't working. I took a look as saw that my internal mail server was not able to connect to the machine. I tried to telnet to the IP address and port 25. The connection was refused. Which means the mail server was not accepting external connections. I thought that was what sendmail.cw handled. Finally I wound up reverting back to the version that had worked well before because I was not really able to figure out how to make sendmail accept the external connections that I needed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install sendmail-8.11.6 2. copy over sendmail.cf.rpmnew to sendmail.cf, restart sendmail 3. try to connect to mail server using telnet hostname port 25 Additional info:\n\nI have exactly the same problem. Sendmail refuses to listen on anything but localhost. It won't accept connections from outside. Even adding the hostname+domain in /etc/mail/local-host-names does not help: sendmail *only* listens on 127.0.0.* ! There is nothing special about my setup so I think there must be many people experiencing the same problem. greetings, Rob van Nieuwkerk\n\nI too have had this problem. Sendmail made no complaints upon starting up, but refused all outside connections on port 25. I'm running RedHat 6.2, and still running kernel 2.2.14-5.0. Everything else is upgraded to the latest versions. My only solution to this has been downgrading to the previous version.\n\nI found the cause of the problem. Starting with RH 7 sendmail does not listen to anything but localhost by default. Apparently Red Hat just recompiled the current sendmail SRPM also for the security fix that was made for Red Hat 6.2. The sendmail that originally came with RH 6.2 does *not* have this default, so this can be very confusing to 6.2 users who applied this security update !! (RH are you listening?) On http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/gotchas/7.1/gotchas-71.html under the section \"Sendmail Will Not Accept Outside Connections After Installation\" you can find the solution to the problem ! greetings, Rob van Nieuwkerk\n\n*** Bug 54143 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***\n\nNailed us too. (really would have been nice if the errate for the sendmail update warned about this. For the short answer change this: O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA to O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA in /etc/sendmail.cf (the 8.9.3 install had it commented out, guessing that works as well)\n\nUpdated rpms leave network connections open for older Red Hat Linux releases and only change this for newer products.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postgresql 12+, libpq 12+ How reproducible: when compiling source against PostgreSQL Steps to Reproduce: 1. compile gambas3 without https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gambas3/pull-request/1 applied Actual results: Errors in the build.log: /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/gambas3-3.14.3-3.fc33.x86_64/usr/bin/gbi3: symbol lookup error: /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/gambas3-3.14.3-3.fc33.x86_64/usr/lib64/gambas3/gb.db.postgresql.so: undefined symbol: pg_fprintf Expected results: No errors Additional info: This looks like the upstream issue that caused this: https://github.com/postgres/postgres/commit/96bf88d5271 I found a similar issue in other package, repmgr, and they solved it like this: https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/repmgr/commit/1ed8b1067abb641af138a28906d65ded572c4ad1 It seems to work as a work-around for gambas3 as well. However, it looks like this would deserve a discussion on postgresql upstream, i.e. discuss what was the suggested way of compiling the other projects with libpq with that change. The commit does not mention the compiling issues, so it might likely be an unexpected side-effect.\n\nUpstream has been notified. I will update as soon as I get more information.\n\nSo as for the upstream response[1]; the issue might be in that the external code is failing to link with libpgport and/or libpgcommon. However, it has been noted that such usage of PostgreSQL libraries by any external code is not supported (nor really recommended) by upstream. See the original response[1]. [1] https://www.postgresql-archive.org/PostgreSQL-always-uses-own-versions-of-printf-but-does-not-export-them-td6142811.html\n\nI poked around in the gambas3 sources, and I'd recommend reclassifying this as a gambas3 bug. I find this in gb.db.postgresql/src/main.c: #include #include #include libpq-fe.h is the only one of those that we promise much cross-version stability for. In particular the immediate build fail is from including postgres.h without supporting that with libraries. But as I mentioned to Patrik, you don't really want to go down that road, it will just result in more problems in the future. I think the reason postgres.h is being included here is that the code needs some type OID constants (BOOLOID etc), and it thinks it has to get them from pg_type.h, which requires postgres.h. That was true years ago, but since PG v11 there's a better way. I think the right fix is to reduce these inclusions to #include #include (you might want to adjust the list of headers that the configure.ac file in the parent directory looks for, too). I haven't actually tried that, but unless main.c is poking into stuff that it *really* shouldn't be messing with, that should be a sufficient set of inclusions. This route will be far less subject to cross-version breakage.\n\nFurther to that: it looks like the next dozen or so lines in main.c could also be dispensed with: #ifdef PACKAGE_NAME #undef PACKAGE_NAME #undef PACKAGE_BUGREPORT #undef PACKAGE_STRING #undef PACKAGE_TARNAME #undef PACKAGE_VERSION #undef PACKAGE_URL #endif #ifdef Max #undef Max #endif #ifdef Min #undef Min #endif I think this is just getting rid of some macros that postgres.h provided but gambas3 already found they couldn't tolerate. The fix I recommend will result in a *lot* less namespace pollution.\n\nThis bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle.

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\nFrom Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124 Description of problem: When we upgraded our mailserver to RHEL 3.0 Update 2, the Sendmail /usr/bin/vacation stopped working. Whenever an autoreply is invoked by vacation, the maillog shows as in this sample: May 18 11:27:30 servfys vacation[24291]: vacation: .vacation.db: No locks available May 18 11:27:30 servfys sendmail[24265]: i4I9RHX6024262: to=|\"/usr/bin/vacation helle\", ctladdr= (344/250), delay=00:00:13, xdelay=00:00 :00, mailer=prog, pri=1859352, dsn=5.3.0, stat=unknown mailer error 1 and the vacation code exits without making an autoreply. When copying the user's homedir to a local disk, the vacation works as it did before (with kernel kernel-smp-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL). Therefore the problem must be specific to NFS. The vacation code tries to create a lock on the user's file $HOME/.vacation.db and this apparently fails on NFS mounted filesystems with the latest kernel. One might suspect that there is a more general problem with NFS locks, but I don't know how to test this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.4.21-15.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Set up Sendmail's vacation tool in the user's .forward file: helle, |\"/usr/bin/vacation helle\" and initialize the .vacation.db by \"vacation -i\". Actual Results: Whenever a mail is sent to the user, the maillog shows a \"No locks available\" error. The sender receives an error mail message: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- |\"/usr/bin/vacation helle\" (reason: Data format error) (expanded from: ) Expected Results: The vacation program should return an auto-reply to the sender. Additional info: The /usr/bin/vacation is part of Sendmail, but is not installed by default. I built Sendmail myself and copied vacation to /usr/bin/.\n\nWe have also noticed this bug. It seems to be spesific to locking over NFS using flock(), while fcntl() works fine. Example using exim_lock from Exim 4.30: $ touch foo $ exim_lock -v -fcntl foo exim_lock: fcntl() lock successfully applied exim_lock: locking foo succeeded: running /local/gnu/bin/bash ... $ exit exim_lock: foo closed $ exim_lock -v -flock foo exim_lock: flock() failed: No locks available exim_lock: file closed ... waiting With kernel family 2.4.21-9.0.3.EL both flock() and fcntl() work as expected.\n\nReassigning NFS locking problem to our NFS maintainer.\n\nI just upgraded too to the same version of RHELAS 3.0 I have the same problem with NFS but with ezmlm and qmail. I tested the setup on parties running RHELAS 3.0 Update 2 and all gave the same results no locks available with ezmlm. I managed to workaround it by specifying nolock in the mount option but Im not sure is this safe or not.\n\nBSD flock locks are not supported.\n\nWhy is this CLOSED NOTABUG? It's incredibly Bad And Rude(tm) to break support for a widely-used system call in a kernel patch, and then claim it's \"not our problem\". This is simply not good enough!\n\nIt is my understanding that flocks have never worked in correctly in linux kernels. So the clami that we, Redhat, have added some patch that breaks or removed support is simply wrong. flocks are not supported in upstreams kernels so they are not supported in Redhat Kernels.\n\nPoint taken, and I shouldn't have used the word \"support\", but \"functionality\". Nevertheless, from my (exceptionally naive, presumably) point of view, if the functionality of a particular system call or library function changes, it is either intentional (and therefore ought to be documented) or it is unintentional (and is therefore a bug). What appears to have happened is that the behaviour of an flock() call on a file on an NFS-mounted filesystem has changed from \"maybe working, maybe not, but flock() reported success anyway\" to \"flock() reports failure\". This is a pretty drastic change for a kernel patch, regardless of whether flock() is \"officially\" supported - there are so many third-party applications written for the BSD-based world - and therefore that are likely to use flock() instead of fcntl() - that such an arbitrary change cannot be made without some kind of \"HEADS UP\" warning. That is, if it was intentional. If it wasn't intentional, then by anyone's book it's a bug. If this has crept in as a result of changes to the upstream kernel, I sympathize, but one of the things I'd expect of Red Hat is to provide some production continuity and quality that cushions their users from changes such as this, however well-intentioned. To simply dismiss this with a \"flock() isn't supported, go away\" belies the reality that there is an awful lot of third-party software out there that relies on not-so-well-documented features (of which there are more than a few), and drastically changing functionality without warning people beforehand is going to upset a lot of customers, which I'd kind of expect Red Hat to consider a Bad Thing(tm). Of course, from my POV the right thing to do would be to make flock() work properly under NFS in Linux. But that'll never happen, will it?\n\nWe are going to test a vanila kernel and check. If this works then I would consider Red Hat really a bad thing. We were going to upgrade about 70 servers to RHELAS. We were advised to not go with Red Hat and go with Debian instead. Seems that we should follow the advice.\n\n> Nevertheless, from my (exceptionally naive, presumably) point of > view, if the functionality of a particular system call or library > function changes, it is either intentional (and therefore ought to > be documented) or it is unintentional (and is therefore a bug). I truly sympathize with the fact that apps ported from BSD are breaking but I think its more of an porting issue than anything. The flock(2) man pages clearly states \"flock(2) does not lock files over NFS. Use fcntl(2) instead:\" > What appears to have happened is that the behaviour of an flock() > call on a file on an NFS-mounted filesystem has changed from \"maybe > working, maybe not, but flock() reported success anyway\" to \"flock() > reports failure\". No. It when from lying about functionality it was not doing (child process would not inherit the locks) to telling the application that this type of locking style is not supported on this filesystem. > If this has crept in as a result of changes to the upstream kernel, It was... See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4784837&forum_id=4930 > I sympathize, but one of the things I'd expect of Red Hat is to > provide some production continuity and quality that cushions > their users from changes such as this, however well-intentioned. Well its not clear to me that continuing a functionality that is clearly broken is a good thing either... > drastically changing functionality without warning people > beforehand is going to upset a lot of customers, which I'd > kind of expect Red Hat to consider a Bad Thing(tm). Letting applications think that can pass locks to their child process, seems to me, to be a fairly major issue.... And no we not like and work very hard not to upset customers... but again I think this is a porting issue since it is clearly documented that flocks do not work on NFS. > Of course,from my POV the right thing to do would be to makeflock() > work properly under NFS in Linux. But that'll never happen, will it? Agreed, and there is talk of doing just that... see above mail thread... W.R.T \"We were advised to not go with Red Hat and go with Debian instead\" This code is in the latest release of Debian, SuSE, and the upstream kernels.... So I would hope you would reconsider....\n\nI've hacked vacation slightly to create the .db files in /var/lib/vacation and not in the users' home directories. This solves the problem of gdbm not being able to open the db due to flock() over NFS. http://linux.duke.edu/~icon/RPMS/SRPMS/vacation-1.2.6.1-0.duke.4.el3.src.rpm Of course, the *real* solution to the problem would be to stop using this version of vacation. :)\n\nSolving the original problem of the vacation program not working, I decided to replace vacation by an alternative. Noting that procmail is the default mailer i Redhat's /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, I searched the net for vacation-like setups for procmail. I found a really excellent solution here: http://sial.org/howto/procmail/procmailrc-vacation which I can highly recommend.\n\nIn vacation you can also add GDBM_NOLOCK to the vacation source at vacation.sf.net. Granted this might be unsafe...but it is (hopefully) unlikely and non-serious that a 2nd access will take place on the db file in such a short time: db = gdbm_open(VDB, 128, ((iflag || nflag) ? GDBM_NEWDB : GDBM_WRITER) to gdbm_open(VDB, 128, ((iflag || nflag) ? (GDBM_NEWDB | GDBM_NOLOCK) : (GDBM_WRITER | GDBM_NOLOCK)\n\nI notice this change also breaks the 'make test' phase of building Perl (e.g. 5.8.5) when the source resides on NFS :-(\n\nI've looked at the differences between the 2.4.21-15.EL kernel and the one previous.... this flock-over-NFS behaviour change seems to be caused by the linux-2.4.21-gfs-enablers.patch. If you remove that patch from the kernel, the old flock behavior comes back again. Seems like a major change to the RHEL3 API to me.\n\nAgreed, reopening as a major API breakage.\n\nMy comments in comment #6 were were not completely accurate. We (or I) did not add any patches to the NFS code that change the type of support of flock()s. We never supported flocks and we continue to not support flock()s over NFS. To be quite clear, we are using the exact same nfs locking code (i.e. nfs_lock()) in every release RHEL3 (including the initial release). So Nothing has change w.r.t. the NFS locking code... But was has changed and broke KABI is the GFS enabler patch that Joshua have pointed out. The breakage occurs because the flock() system call (i.e. sys_flock()) was rewritten. This rewrite is causing the NFS failure. I'm reassign to our GFS guy...\n\nIs there clean way of adding an \"if NFS filesystem\" switch into sys_flock()? The simplest way of fixing this may be to change the error code returned by NFS. In nfs_lock(), return LOCK_USE_CLNT instead of returning -ENOLOCK if (fl->fl_flags & FL_POSIX). That will cause the VFS to process flock request and things go back to the way they were before. In the 2.6, kernel, there is a separate flock() file_operation. In RHEL3, the lock() operation is overloaded to do both flock and fcntl locks. We could (again) extend the file_operations structure to add a field, if we want to put up with the added ugliness.\n\nErrr... That should have been if !(fl->fl_flags & FL_POSIX).\n\nFor RHEL3 we'd break ABI if we added another file_op. Other than that observation I agree with your proposed change to the NFS return for non POSIX locks.\n\nCreated attachment 109305 [details] patch to make NFS return LOCK_USE_CLNT for flock calls As trivial as is, attached is a patch that fixes the problem by returning LOCK_USE_CLNT as discussed above. I'm not 100% sure whether or not the check of fl_owner should be broken out so that it still returns -ENOLCK. Opinions?\n\nCreated attachment 109372 [details] Proposed Patch This patch checks to make sure the FL_FLOCK bit is set and will only return LOCK_USE_CLNT (causing a local lock to be created) when the module parameter nfs_local_flocks is set.\n\nCreated attachment 109373 [details] Updated Patch per Alan's comments\n\nThis second patch is still wrong. It doesn't default to nfs_local_flocks as discussed. Also the mode is wrong - a 444 is read-only meaning it can't be changed. Please fix the patch and post to the list\n\nOk mode is settable at insmod viewable at runtime. Steve clarified this aspect is correct and intentional\n\nCreated attachment 109386 [details] A patch that introduces the FS_BROKEN_FLOCK flag This patch stop the nfs code from being called (similar to how its done in upstream) with the use of a new FS_BROKEN_FLOCKS flag in file_system_type structure.\n\nA fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U5 patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-27.7.EL). Although there wasn't total agreement on the best way to resolve the issue, I decided that the safest and least source-code-perturbing approach was to make nfs_lock() return 0 in the FL_FLOCK case.\n\nDoes this mean we will need to pass the nfs_local_flocks module option to the U5 kernel and the old flock over NFS behaviour (from 2.4.21-9.0.3 and earlier) will return? What exact entry in modules.conf is needed? Can we get testing RPMs of 2.4.21-27.7.EL so we can verify internally this patch works as expected? Thanks!\n\nNo... It was decided to use a patch very similar to the one posted in comment #28. Ernie will update this bz when the patch is committed\n\nComment #29 says a patch was committed. Is this patch going to re-enable flock over NFS? If so, could I get test kernels posted on someone's people page so we can test? Thanks.\n\nThe fix committed to 2.4.21-27.7.EL on 11-Jan-2005 (3 days ago) has been slightly reworked such that the flock() avoidance test has been moved from nfs_lock() up to the f/s-independent layer. Note that this new fix has the exact same functional effect as the prior fix (specifically, that flock() syscalls on NFS files will no longer return ENOLCK errors despite the fact that locking is enforced only among processes on the local client). The new fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U5 patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-27.8.EL). Ken, please make a test kernel available to interested parties (after the official internal build completes later tonight). Thanks in advance. -ernie\n\nTest kernels: http://people.redhat.com/kpreslan/2.4.21-27.8.EL/\n\nThank you. Can you upload kernel-source as well? We have third party tools (IBM Rational ClearCase) that must link against the kernel for our full testing. We've built kernel-source from your SRPM, but we'd prefer to use one provided by you directly.\n\nkernel-source uploaded: http://people.redhat.com/kpreslan/2.4.21-27.8.EL/\n\nKen, so far we have shown flock() over NFS is working again, but when we try flock() while running IBM Rational ClearCase (the use case which was affected in the first place), it still fails. We are asking IBM in parallel how the MVFS kernel module behaves and if your patch to get flock() over NFS working at the fs-independent layer is still not going to work because MVFS is it's own filesystem that also relies on NFS.\n\nSo this patch doesn't actually make flock() work over NFS, it just makes it exit 0? Michael Martinez\n\nIt makes flock() over NFS work in the same way it does in the mainline 2.4 and 2.6 trees. Different flock holders can conflict with other holders on the same machine, but not with holders on other machines.\n\nI would like to request you engage IBM Rational Level 3 support regarding Clearcase 6.0 and their MVFS filesystem. We absolutely require ClearCase MVFS (on top of NFS) + flock() to work. Currently, flock() over raw NFS works with the 27.8 kernel, but when we use ClearCase and NFS, it still fails. Reference IBM PMR 67696 and 53463. Thank you!\n\nWe seem to have worked out the MVFS issues with a Clearcase patch that leverages the FS_BROKEN_FLOCK mechanism to acheive the same result as for NFS code. The combination of their patch and yours works to meet Cisco's need. Thanks!\n\nPlease note that the flock()-over-NFS avoidance fix committed to interim U5 kernel version 2.4.21-27.8.EL has been reworked yet again by changing the FS_BROKEN_FLOCK f/s flag to FS_WANT_FLOCK with an inverted sense. We have done this to allow the original version of MVFS (of ClearCase) to work with NFS in the RHEL3 U5 kernel without changes. If in the future MVFS is implemented over GFS as well, then MVFS's flock() handler will need the new conditionalized logic using fs_want_flock() that is now in fs/locks.c. These changes have just been committed to the RHEL3 U5 patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-27.17.EL). Brian Long and/or Howard Owen, please undo the ClearCase patch that was previously needed to leverage the now-defunct FS_BROKEN_FLOCK mechanism.\n\nI need to test the 2.4.21-27.17.EL kernel in order to know if IBM Rational can cancel their current patch which checks for FS_BROKEN_FLOCK. Is U5 beta going to be released this week? If not, I need the 2.4.21-27.17.EL kernel, kernel-smp and kernel-source built for testing. Thanks.\n\nBrian, one more (hopefully final) update: after checking in the -27.17.EL fix, it was brought to our attention that this would cause a *different* incompatibility with 3rd party file systems. So after 3 tries to resolve this issue, it has been decided to go back to the *original* fix that was committed to the -27.7.EL kernel (as explained in comment #29). So, the final fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U5 patch pool this afternoon (in kernel version 2.4.21-28.EL, which is the U5 beta candidate kernel). I will attach the patch (with respect to U4).\n\nCreated attachment 111360 [details] NFS flock() avoidance patch This is the U5 change (with respect to U4) to resolve this issue.\n\nAn advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\nCurrently, UI Plugin infrastructure works in the following way: - upon WebAdmin GUI login, take GUI (admin) user credentials and initiate (one) REST API session - broadcast received (single) session ID to all UI plugins Despite very simple, this approach has following disadvantages: - when UI plugin talks with REST API via session ID, the session has exact same privileges as GUI (admin) user - having only one REST API session, some evil UI plugin can close the session (enforce logout) which can compromise behavior of other UI plugins This RFE essentially suggests replacing \"One [admin-gui-user] session for all plugins\" with \"One [plugin-user] session per each plugin\" approach. Design proposal: 1. when processing WebAdmin GWT application request (server-side) - during UI plugin discovery phase: - check if the given plugin explicitly enabled REST API integration (boolean) via its metadata/config - if yes, load username/domain/password credentials + permissions (REST API integration user) via its metadata/config - validate above mentioned user credentials, create user if it doesn't exist yet - synchronize permissions from plugin metadata/config with given user, i.e. update permissions for that user 2. when processing WebAdmin GWT application request (server-side) - during embedding plugin data into HTML phase: - eagerly create REST API session for the user specified in previous step (REST API integration user) - embed REST API session ID into runtime plugin information, no user credentials allowed here! 3. when starting up WebAdmin GWT application (client-side) - during UI plugin load phase: - pass REST API session ID to given UI plugin via UiInit function - this means RestApiSessionAcquired is not necessary anymore, since session creation is not asynchronous from client perspective What we gain: - each UI plugin will have its own dedicated REST API session, unrelated to GUI (admin) user credentials - each UI plugin can (must) explicitly define permissions it requires with regard to REST API integration - for each UI plugin, we can selectively enable/disable REST API integration as necessary (useful for WebAdmin end-users) - we don't have to keep-alive the single \"shared\" session anymore, because there will be no \"shared\" session anymore Potential issues: It might be difficult to create REST API session from within server-side code, I'd really like to avoid doing \"Engine -> HTTP request -> Engine\" cycle.\n\nCC'ing Michael, maybe it's worth revisiting support for passing session ID (i.e. JSESSIONID value) in a way other than HTTP cookie. This would allow UI plugin code (JavaScript) to communicate directly with Engine REST API. Using JSESSIONID cookie is most likely impossible because REST API expects this cookie to be set for path=/api and plugin code runs under path=/webadmin -> worth giving a try, though. (maybe we can try setting the cookie for the root path)\n\n(In reply to vszocs from comment #3) > (maybe we can try setting the cookie for the root path) Bad idea, since there are different JSESSIONID cookies for different applications, depending on cookie path.\n\nTarget version?\n\nTarget version = future for now, currently low priority To summarize positive impacts of this RFE: 1. isolation -> each UI plugin will have its own REST API session assigned, i.e. avoid single shared session and issues that come with it 2. transparency -> each UI plugin will have to state permissions for its REST API session explicitly, i.e. permissions unrelated to admin GUI user 3. control -> we can disable REST API session functionality per each UI plugin if necessary 4. simplification -> no need for \"keep-alive single shared session\" functionality anymore\n\nWe should consider following items for this RFE: - have one REST session per UI plugin (which also means creating associated Engine user for this purpose) -> plugin vs. plugin REST session isolation - create REST session not from client (WebAdmin/JavaScript) but from server (when serving WebAdmin.html) -> avoid issues with cookies [*] & HTTP Basic Auth handling [**] [*] multiple-cookies (one per UI plugin) with same name (JSESSIONID) for same origin (REST API) is not possible [**] browsers usually cache HTTP \"Authorization\" request header for given origin (REST API) which complicates authentication from plugin perspective\n\nClosing old bugs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-build-4.3.2-21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. build a spec file 2. comment out the %configure line 3. run rpmbuild Actual Results: the rpmbuild fails with \"./configure: No such file or directory\" Expected Results: rpmbuild should not have attempted to run ./configure, and should have completed without error. Additional info:\n\nComment out by doubling the % character, as in # %%configure\n\nHow is this NOTABUG? What little documentation is available for the rpm spec file says using an octothorp (#) in front of a line should make it ignored. http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ch-rpm-specref.html This doesn't happen. The documentation says nothing about \"except if its a %configure then you have to add an octothorp and an extra percent sign.\" This clearly ISABUG.\n\nMacros are expanded everywhere, so multiline macros such as configure only get a comment on the first line. The documentation fails to make that clear http://www.redhat.com/archives/rpm-list/2003-April/msg00075.html See http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/ch-rpm-specref.html for updated documentation - to see for yourself: rpm -E '#%configure' rpm -E '#%__tar'\n\nWhy don't we just have the macro processor ignore commented lines as well? Seems like that would be simpler than having to remember if a macro was multiline or not. It would also prevent things mysteriously breaking if a macro got changed from a single line to a multiline. It's the DWIMy thing to do. Do we gain anything by expanding macros in comments?\n\nThe problem is that what defines a comment in the scriptlets? Though most, as its the default use /bin/sh as their scriptlet interpretter, you can specify an alternate interpretter. # is not a comment in all scripting languages (many but not all). So yes, at least within scriptlets there is something to be gained by expanding macros after a #. This, BTW, is very simular to how the m4 macro processor works. Cheers...james",

How reproducible: simply startx with dri on. Actual results: total system freez. cant even kill the app you have to reboot to get back in the console. Expected results: to work of course. Work around: edit xf86config to not load dri and it work but of course thers no 3d acell then. Additional info: from what iv been able to find out its in the vt switching.\n\nDRI does not support PCI Radeon hardware except on the Alpha platform, and it is disabled in the source code itself, both in the kernel and in XFree86 except for Alpha systems. Unless you have manually patched both your kernel and the XFree86 sources, and recompiled both to enable PCI Radeon DRI support, I don't see how it is possible that the DRI setting in the config file would have any effect whatsoever on PCI Radeon hardware on the x86 platform. Please attach your XFree86 config file, and log file, as well as your /var/log/messages each as a separate uncompressed file attachment using the link below. While XFree86 is running, with DRI enabled in the config file, please also provide the output of \"lsmod\", and I will investigate this further.\n\nthank you for telling me that. then in that case dri needs pci support for the ati readion 7000 pci also knowen as the readion ve. this also effects the ati mobilty card. i mean my voodo3 was only a 16 meg and had dri support no reasion a 32 meg card should be disabled.\n\nNote that this is not a bug. Compaq funded the DRI project to develop DRI support for Radeon hardware for the Alpha platform, and it works on Alpha (aparently). They did not fund development for x86 however, and the code does not function correctly on x86, although it is rumored to work on some PPC hardware. The default code disables pcigart on non Alpha platforms because it was never actively tested or debugged, and is thus not officially supported by the XFree86 or DRI projects. Also note that this is not restricted to the Radeon VE. All PCI Radeon hardware is unsupported with DRI, and again, that is not a bug, but rather a feature that was never officially implemented. >i mean my voodo3 was only a 16 meg and had dri support no >reasion a 32 meg card should be disabled. This has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of video memory on the video card. The Voodoo hardware was one of the first pieces of hardware that Precision Insight developed 3D acceleration code for in the DRI project, and that is why Voodoo 3 is supported. Radeon PCI support was not ever officially developed or tested for x86 architecture, and is officially unsupported as I have now said many times. Nobody has any interest or motivations in developing this code to work on Radeon PCI on x86 platforms on the XFree86 or DRI teams likely, or they would have done so long ago. My official statement is thus that this is not supported, and is not a bug. Implementing Radeon PCI support in DRI would be a feature enhancement request, which is fine because I have already stated that I have a personal interest in doing so at some point in time when I feel sufficiently motivated and have the time to do so. I have acquired the hardware already, and I have the documentation. This is volunteer work, and I will do it when I have time to do so in my spare time and feel like doing it. As such, I do not feel the need to track this in bugzilla, as it is already a personal \"TODO\" item if someone does not beat me to it. If you can't wait and would like it sooner, perhaps you can stimulate one of the DRI project members to get an interest in doing this. Closing DEFERED as an official Red Hat resolution to your enhancement request, however it will be done at some undefined point in the future, by me as a volunteer, unless as stated above, someone beats me to it. When this does occur, I will update your enhancement request if you are interested in beta testing the results.\n\ni will certently be happy for a beta version when it gets made at some undetermend time thanks for the help.\n\nExperimental PCI Radeon DRI support is now in XFree86 4.3.0 in phoebe beta, and will be in our final release. While this is officially \"unsupported\", it is available for people to try out. To use it, you must be running phoebe beta, and use Option \"ForcePCIMode\" as documented on the Radeon manpage. You can report issues here in bugzilla if you encounter any by filing new bug reports, however since it is not officially supported, any such bug reports I'll only be looking at in my own personal spare time as a volunteer, so they may not get high priority. Nonetheless it will be good to know what problems exist.",

This causes some devices to attempt to re-map their interrupt handlers, and some devices will even throw interrupts, causing 'IRQ #106' and nobody cared error messages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.18-194.el5 2.6.18-203.el5 How reproducible: Easily reproducable every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load a scsi driver with some printk's in suspend() and resume() functions, then click 'hibernate' or echo \"disk\" > /sys/power/state. I have seen this with 3w-9xxx, megaraid_sas, etc. 2. Watch the bogus resume() called before power off. 3. Hope you don't crash. Actual results: SHT->suspend() called, SHT->resume() called, power-off (or crash from unexpected interrupt sometimes), power-on, SHT->resume() called. Expected results: SHT->suspend() called, power-off, power-on, SHT->resume() called. Additional info: This does not happen in newer 2.6.31 based FC12 or newer kernels.\n\nThis is a somewhat inevitable consequence of the suspend infrastructure in the 5.x series. There's no separate freeze and suspend functions, so the suspend() function gets called to quiesce the driver for the state copy and then resume() will be called to power it up again in order to save the image to disk. Later kernel versions introduce infrastructure to split this into separate functionality which means we can handle it more cleanly. I don't think there's any reasonable way to retrofit this, but I'll leave the bug open and see if I can come up with something at some point.\n\nGiven how long this problem has gone unresolved, it's relatively low severity, and the lifecycle stage that RHEL 5 is currently in, the problem reported will not be fixed in RHEL 5. -Lenny.",

Others just produce blank screen. The problem goes back to 7.1 betas. Supprisingly, corresponding xscreensaver modules are running fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. goto KDE Kontrol 2. test 3D screensavers (under look and feel) 3. or run them any other way you can on Rage 128 PF (AiW) Actual Results: All but morph3d produce blank screen. Good thing they don't consume CPU time either. They are just idle I guess. Expected Results: They should be just as good as xscreensaver modules.\n\nJust checked - everything works on G400. Thus, this is related to kss on r128 only.\n\nI don't have any problems on a AGP Rage 128P, non AiW. Looks like this might be an AiW problem. What bus does your AiW use? I ran with a PCI AiW for about a third of the testing cycle, and don't remember any problems (except that 3D was slow, which is why I put the AGP card in...) If it's PCI, I'll throw mine in tonight and see if I can duplicate the bug.\n\nThis happens on 16 Mb All-in-Wonder 128 PRO (AGP). This is an Athlon system with MSI's K7Pro motherboard with AMD 751/756 chipsets, 1x AGP. 3D-acceleration of xscreensavers is very fast and stable.\n\nSince it's specific to one piece of hardware, it's either an X bug or a local installation issue. Reassigning.\n\nI see this same bug on a non-AiW Rage 128 card, XPert2000Pro (32 MB, ATI Rage 128 Pro PF AGP). Motherboard is MSI K7T Pro2 (VIA KT133 chipset), Duron 750 CPU.\n\nThis does look like a problem with KDE screensavers rather than XFree86 problem. Now, using 16 Mb g200 with XFree86-4.0.3-11 or later, all 3D KDE screensavers except Morph3d lock-up XFree86 in full-screen mode in about a second after start. Xscreensavers WORK fine! From KDE bugzilla, I found out that these screensavers use some sort of double-buffering, the lock-ups look suspiciously like ones due to lack of video ram (indeed, windowed demos do not lock up. To reproduce the problem on 32 MB card one should use some crazy resolution, I guess.\n\nIf you use DRI, you need to do so in 16 bit depth. Also, you can not use ultra-high res, or there isn't enough memory for DRI to work. X will let you create bad configurations and will try to use them also. Just for testing purposes. Set your resolution to 640x480 or 800x600, and set it to depth 16 (no virtual screen). Does the problem go away? If so, your card doesn't have enough memory to run at the res/depth you are in with DRI enabled.\n\nI am using reasonable resolution of 1280x1024x16bpp on 16 Mb g200 or Rage 128 PF. I want to emphasize that OpenGL Xscreensavers work perfectly well, thus, confirming the suitability of this resolution for 3d acceleration. The problem exists with 3d KDE screensavers ONLY. It's true, that at lower resolution (or windowed demo) mode KDE screensavers work on g200. In fact I can cause the X lock-up just by resizing the window beyond certain size. Thus, I think it's a problem with bad videoram usage in KDE screensavers. On Rage 128 PF, the 3d KDE screensavers just fail, producing blank screen: no segfaults, no core dumps, no CPU time consumption - just an idle task of black screen. I have seen this problems with both Xfree86 4.0.3 and 4.0.99.3.\n\nJust as a test only - put your X in 640x480x16 mode and try them out again. Does it work now? That will help track the problem down. Try at 800x600 also. make sure you are not using a virtual screen. Also make sure you are using the rawhide kernel. There was a problem with DRI on r128 that is fixed in our rawhide kernel.\n\nI use the fixed kernel. On Rage128pro 3D KDE screensavers don't work. Could you explain me why xscreensavers happen to work perfectly then? I suspect this is because Qt is compiled with GL support when it shouldn't be. 3D stuff should be left entirely for X. At least this is the answer I got on kde-devel list. It is KDE or Qt problem reassign this bug back to bero, where I originally filed it.\n\nIt seems that I found the problem. At least, now I have a better description. The following wrong behaviour has been verified on g200 at the moment. Basically, all KDE 3d-screensavers work on 16 Mb g200 at a reasonable resolution of 1280x1024x16bpp. What doesn't work is the \"Test\" button in KDE Control Center. Pressing this button start 2 (two!) instances of kpipes.kss, for example. This is deadly. It hangs XFree86 - no responce to keyboard or mouse. Remote \"init 3\" remains unfinished untill I kill both kpipes.kss! Without any \"init 3\", the remotely killing the both instances of kpipes.kss just revives X. Not really though, each subsequent run of \"gears\" hangs X again. Killing \"gears\" - back on track. I'm attaching log bellow, nothing interesting is there though. It's been recorded during the hang, but contains no indication of it. This problem was observed with kdm and just by startx alike.\n\nCreated attachment 23567 [details] XFree86 under influence of two kpipes.kss, log for g200\n\nI believe I've found the problem to be buggy VIA motherboard BIOS's. Please check your manufacturer's website and download and install any BIOS upgrades for your motherboard. This should fix problems on VIA chipsets, especially Athlon boards. If the problem persists, which I doubt, please change status back to REOPENED or ASSIGNED, etc..\n\nThis bug has been in MODIFIED state for over a year with no response as to wether the suggestions worked or not. I would ordinarily close this as resolved now without hearing back however we've discovered a DRM bug that is most commonly triggered by screensavers, and we believe most of the screensaver-locks-X bugs reported are due to this now. I'm closing this as a DUPE of our tracker bug. Please read the text of the dupe bug, and test out the suggestions there. If this does not fix the problem, please reopen this bug report for continued analysis. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73827 ***",

I have tried to downgrade to older versions: [root@modesty tmp]# rpm -qa|grep evolution evolution-connector-2.8.3-1.fc6 evolution-2.8.3-1.fc6 evolution-sharp-0.11.1-10.fc6 evolution-data-server-1.8.3-1.fc6 evolution-webcal-2.7.1-6 But this gives the same behaviour. F7 also behaves in the same manner with the following versions: [root@rsh etc]# rpm -qa | grep evolution| sort | uniq evolution-2.10.3-2.fc7 evolution-connector-2.10.3-1.fc7 evolution-data-server-1.10.3.1-2.fc7 evolution-webcal-2.10.0-1.fc7\n\nHere is the difference between evolution-2.8.3-1.fc6 and evolution-2.8.3-2.fc6. It fixes a security flaw when previewing memos. --- evolution-2.10.0/calendar/gui/e-cal-component-memo-preview.c.CVE-2007-1002 2007-03-29 16:51:41.000000000 -0400 +++ evolution-2.10.0/calendar/gui/e-cal-component-memo-preview.c 2007-03-29 16:51:56.000000000 -0400 @@ -185,7 +185,7 @@ } } - gtk_html_stream_printf(stream, string->str); + gtk_html_stream_printf(stream, \"%s\", string->str); g_string_free (string, TRUE); This is what broke metting requests?\n\nNo. I experienced the same behaviour in both evolution-2.8.3-1.fc6 and evolution-2.8.3-2.fc6. The last time this worked was in FC5 (presumably) with the versions: evolution-2.6.3-2.fc5 and evolution-connector-2.6.3-2.fc5.\n\nAfter som trial and error I ended up with the following set of evolution components which works on FC6: [root@modesty tmp]# rpm -qa | grep evolution evolution-2.8.1.1-3.fc6 evolution-connector-2.8.1-1.fc6 evolution-sharp-0.11.1-10.fc6 evolution-data-server-1.8.1-1.fc6 evolution-webcal-2.7.1-6 I tried all the different inbetween version of evolution with no luck, so the bug is either in evolution-data-server or evolution-connector. I'll try to update single components when I get some spare time, but there are some nasty dependencies there which broke some of the symlinks which I had to manually recreate to the correct versions.\n\nOK, I bumbed all of the below up to the version as of Dec 04 2006: evolution-connector-2.8.2-2.fc6 evolution-2.8.2.1-2.fc6 evolution-data-server-1.8.2-2.fc6 and the problem arose again. So sometimes between Nov 01 2006 and then, the bug was introduced. I then downgraded to evolution-2.8.1.1-3.fc6 and the meetings are again OK, however, now it seems that there are some instabilities with authentication with the server and I keep getting locked out. While I wait for a solution I'm reverting to last good as described in my previous post.\n\nIs this problem still present on Fedora 8 Test 2 or later?\n\nI haven't tried F8T2 - as I'm running in a production environment I really don't want to bump the whole system. Are there packages available for F7? Interestingly enought I have stared to receive meeting requests which behaves exactly like the original problem, i.e. meeting requests are shown as \"unknown attachment.\" So, the workaround above seems to no longer work. Can it be something marginal in the way Outlook/Exchange constructs these messages, which again is based on some set of settings, which can change from request to request, which makes Evolution fall over?\n\nThanks for responding. The Evolution packages in Fedora 7 are for only for version 2.10, which is no longer seeing regular updates. I think you may be able to install the Fedora 8 Evolution packages without bumping the entire desktop, if you care to try. You can always tell 'yum' to abort if it wants to pull into too many additional packages.\n\n[ft@modesty /tmp]$ rpm -Uvh evolution-* warning: evolution-data-server-1.12.0-1.fc8.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 30c9ecf8 error: Failed dependencies: gnome-icon-theme >= 2.19.91 is needed by evolution-2.12.0-8.fc8.i386 gtk2 >= 2.12.0 is needed by evolution-2.12.0-8.fc8.i386 libgtkhtml-3.14.so.19 is needed by evolution-2.12.0-8.fc8.i386 libpisock.so.9 is needed by evolution-2.12.0-8.fc8.i386 glib2 >= 2.14.0 is needed by evolution-data-server-1.12.0-1.fc8.i386 libdb-4.6.so is needed by evolution-data-server-1.12.0-1.fc8.i386 libdb-4.6.so is needed by evolution-exchange-2.12.0-1.fc8.i386 libedataserver-1.2.so.7 is needed by (installed) nautilus-sendto-0.7- 5.fc6.i386 libedataserver-1.2.so.7 is needed by (installed) gnome-panel-2.16.3- 2.fc6.i386 libedataserver-1.2.so.7 is needed by (installed) ekiga-2.0.5-3.fc6.i386 libedataserver-1.2.so.7 is needed by (installed) bug-buddy-2.16.0- 4.fc6.i386 libedataserver-1.2.so.7 is needed by (installed) control-center-2.16.3- 11.fc6.i386 libedataserver-1.2.so.7 is needed by (installed) pidgin-2.0.2- 3.fc6.1.i386 Do you guarantee --nodeps? :-)\n\nOK. I have upgraded one machine to the latest F8 release. But the problem still persists. These are the versions I use: [root@modesty ~]# rpm -q fedora-release fedora-release-notes fedora-release-8-2 fedora-release-notes-8.0.0-1 [root@modesty ~]# rpm -qa | grep evolution evolution-data-server-1.12.1-2.fc8 evolution-sharp-0.14.0.1-1.fc8 evolution-webcal-2.12.0-1.fc8 evolution-exchange-2.12.1-1.fc8 evolution-2.12.1-3.fc8\n\nThe problem persists for new meeting requests or existing meeting requests?\n\nOK. To clarify: Everything was working fine in FC5, both new and existing meeting requests. Then I upgraded to FC6 and I had to downgrade some of the evolution packages to get meeting requests working again (see above). At some point new meeting requests started to appear as \"unknown attachments\" while existing behaved correctly. Upgrading to F8T3 did not change this for new meeting requests. I no longer have old meeting requests available for testing, sorry.\n\nI can now confirm that with current evolution also existing meeting requests have \"unknown attachment\". This is contrary to my experience when it was working in FC6 and F7 with FC6 evolution rpm-packages, but when it failed after some time for new meeting requests. Then existing meeting requests were displayed as normal. When I refer to \"existing meeting requests\" I mean meeting requests in a mail folder somewhere which has not been accepted (or any other action) - obviously - due to the \"unknown attachment\" problem.\n\nCan you try to set Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences, tab HTML Messages and in the section \"Plain Text Mode\" change to \"Show HTML if present\". Maybe it will help. Other option is to disable Prefer plain-text plugin from Edit->Plugins. I noticed that this plugin generates those \"unknown attachment\" attachments, even I'm not sure if it is the case now.\n\nI disabled \"Prefer plain-text\" from Edit->Plugin as suggested, and - Wow! - it now works again. I can't remember enabling this option tho....... Thanks, Milan!\n\nmaybe fix from gnome's bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487922 will help here too.\n\nMilan's patch for this issue should be in the latest Fedora 8 update now. Closing as CURRENTRELEASE, but feel free to reopen if you still encounter the problem after upgrading.",

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.8-1.603 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run gdm -> gnome (minimal setup) 2. Open terminal 3. Use cedega to start BfVietnam.exe (Or basically any other process that eats RAM like it was candy) Actual Results: Other processes than kswapd die/freeze. Unless offending I/O-intensive process is killed thoroughly, the system will eventually cease responding and a hard reboot is required. Expected Results: kswapd should complete whatever it was doing and let the rest of the system continue as normal. Additional info: riel> it's a known bug from the upstream kernel, fixed in akpm's latest pile of patches\n\nTested using kernel-2.6.8-1.607 now. As far as I can tell this is supposed to be based on http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLog-2.6.9-rc4 and the patches to kswapd included there. Still experiencing the same behaviour. System dies.\n\nBug #126234 looks just like this bug.\n\nI'm having problems which might be related to this bug. I mentioned this first in bug #131251 comment #34: --clip-- Now that I finally got my memory sticks I tried upgrading the memory to 4GB. And boy did I open another can of worms by doing that. After booting up I ran \"free\" and saw that I had 4GB of usable memory in Linux. I loaded the [680MB] SQL dump file with nano and did the usual text search trick. It worked fine, but that's probably because the system had enough RAM this time (one text editor instance uses only about 1GB of memory). I loaded another copy in another session, it loaded nicely as well. I started loading the third file when the system seemed to get stuck, nano just stopped at \"Reading File\". On another channel I tried running \"free\" to see if the system was already swapping at this point (it shouldn't). Surprise surprise, the \"free\" command itself got stuck, it refused to output anything and also refused to return back to command prompt. Running \"ls\" and \"vmstat 2\" on other channels resulted in the same, nothing was printed on the screen and those commands didn't return to the command prompt. The editors on channels 1 and 2 were responsive and worked, until I tried to move to the next page. This move made both of them get stuck. This happened with 2.6.9 and elevator=as. --clip-- Another experience, this time with 2.6.9-bk6 with the grab_swap_token function call commented out to work around the OOM issue in bug #131251. I started \"vmstat 2\" on one channel, and managed to load 3 instances of nano on three different channels. The fourth got stuck in Reading File phase. Meanwhile the vmstat command on another channel kept on running with the following information: r 0 b 6 swpd 23324 free 5780 buff 1112 cache 290616 si 0 so 0 bi 0 bo 0 in 1001 cs 4-6 us 0 sy 0 id 0 wa 100 I left the computer running for a few hours, during which the free and cache values changes very slightly I had an open bash prompt on one channel and tried running \"free\" on it, but it got stuck as in my previous experiment. nano sessions also got stuck once I tried moving to the next page of text. To make the FC developers happy I tried the Fedora Core version of the kernel, build 640. This time I had \"top\" running on one channel and \"vmstat\" on another. The vmstat values before trying to start nano: r 0 b 0 swpd 0 free 3906088 buff 14708 cache 44488 si 0 so 0 bi 0 bo 0 in 1001-1003 cs 8-14 us 0 sy 0 id 100 wa 0 Three instances of nano loaded fine, the fourth stopped again in the Reading File phase. vmstat kept running, with these values: r 1 b 2 swpd 23360 free 6956 buff 12548 cache 679088 si 0 so 0 bi 0 bo 0 in 1001 cs 6-9 us 0 sy 100 id 0 wa 0 Notice that the 100 value was now indeed in the System (sy) column, unlike in 2.6.9-bk6 where the 100 value was in the Wait (wa) column. I don't know if this was just a coincidence or repeatable behaviour. The \"top\" session which I had running on another channel got stuck, the screen no longer got updated. On that frozen screen I can see that kswapd0 uses 66.9% of CPU (state:R) and nano uses the remaining 33.0% (state:D). I'm running the latest development branch of Fedora on an Abit AV8 motherboard, with AMD Athlon 64 3500+ and 4GB of memory. No X running on this server. The hard disk is a parallel ATA Seagate 120GB.\n\nAlso testing .640 here. I'm having mixed results, and will report back when I've done more extensive testing...\n\nI tried if I could reproduce the problem on vanilla 2.6.10-rc1 kernel. I wasn't able to lock up the system, but still there's something weird going on in kswpad. I managed to load 4 copies of my text file and after that \"top\" shows that kswapd0 is using 99% of cpu, although nothing visible seems to be happening. According to vmstat, no swapping is currently being done (si=so=0). During the loading of those files kswapd seemed to be acting sanely, but once the kernel had to touch swap kswapd went crazy. Currently there's 33156 KB of used swap space, 7152 KB of free memory, 2564 KB of buffers and 97080 KB of cache. The system worked fine at this point of time, even though kswapd was consuming lots of CPU time. Addendum: When I tried copying that 680MB test file to another name for further testing, the system locked up solidly as in my previous experiments. The cp process never finished. The frozen \"top\" screen tells that kswapd is using 99% of cpu. vmstat keeps running, this time the values are 33156 KB for swap, 89852 KB free, 3324 KB buffers, 12804 KB cache. The editor on the first channel froze when I tried to move to the next page. I tried exiting the remaining 3 nano text editors, but they froze too. At this point the vmstat command that was still running on another channel displayed 6 processes being in uninterruptible sleep (vmstat column \"b\"). Is there something useful that I could test?\n\nStill, with .640 and .643 - kswapd goes crazy as soon as swap is touched. Settles (ie down to about 6% cpu usage) when tabbing to a text-terminal, goes back up to eat cpu (~60% constant) when tabbing back to X. Don't know if there's any point in this, but I'm going to test with the initial fc3t2 kernel for reference.\n\nI failed to mention I am no longer able to kill the system this way. Kswapd now seems to only affect the performance of said I/O-intensive task...\n\nThanks, I can confirm it's sorted in the .649 linux-2.6.9-vm-tame-oomkiller.patch",

It'll fail, cuz the journal files too small. Remount the filesystem as ext2 to see what went wrong. Duh, 20k vs 20M. Attempt to re-run the dd command to make the journal bigger.

I think I see the problem, but without the oops trace I can't be sure that the problem I've traced is exactly the same one that you saw. This is a low priority problem --- the journal creation code is all going to be moved to user space in the end anyway. However, it should be easy to fix.\n\nGot it --- will be fixed in a future release. It's a trivial one-liner. The problem was in the VFS, not in ext3: after the failed ext3 mount, ext3 correctly released all of the inodes it had established in the process of trying to create the journal. However, the VFS left them in cache. On the subsequent ext2 mount, the inode cache still contained a copy of the journal.dat inode which had ext3 data attached, and so the second attempt to dd to journal.dat actually ended up using the ext3 filesystem routines on an ext2 filesystem! The fix is to call invalidate_inodes() after a failed ext3 mount to clear up the inode cache.\n\nThank you. Do you still want the oops data?

All possible variations of quality / buffer size / sound sources tried, with no significant improvement. (Low quality lags the least, but sounds horrific). For example, certain sound effects, such as turning, don't play right away, and appear to be buffered one after another, so that shortly into the game, this \"sound lag\" for the turning quickly becomes a sort of constant, repetitive, ticking sound. Even if only two people turn at the same time, it sounds like a \"tick-tick\" one after another.

Koji shows some successful builds of PA 0.9.12 for F10, so presumably it wouldn't be too difficult to build some for F9 users who are experiencing these problems?\n\n*** Bug 444924 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***\n\nI'm getting the same problem -- glitches, lags, and crashes -- with rhythmbox, xmms, and other sound apps on Fedora 9 x86_64. # uname -r 2.6.26.6-79.fc9.x86_64 # lspci | grep Audio 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia\n\nI have recently installed FC10 and get the same lag issues with pulseaudio. $ uname -r 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64 $ lspci | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)\n\nUpdate: I had similar problems with audio lagging in F10 also. I don't know if this fix works for F9, but adding my user to the realtime pulseaudio group (pulse-rt) seemed to fix most of my sound issues in Fedora (aside from the occasional broken snd_hda_intel alsa drivers that get rolled into kernels pushed to stable before they are fully tested on this hardware, of course). Solution: add user(s) to pulse-rt group\n\n(In reply to comment #13) > I have recently installed FC10 and get the same lag issues with pulseaudio. > > > $ uname -r > 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64 > > $ lspci | grep Audio > 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio > Controller (rev 02) That kernel has a known issue with that intel chipset. update to the latest: 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64 (see Bug 477954 to track that issue).\n\n(In reply to comment #14) > Update: I had similar problems with audio lagging in F10 also. I've just installed F10, and noticed audio \"tearing\" in Rhythmbox, and a bit of audio lagging too. > [..] adding my user to the realtime pulseaudio group > (pulse-rt) seemed to fix most of my sound issues in Fedora [..] Another thing to try is to give PulseAudio authorisation to run in real-time and to reduce its nice level. You can do this through the \"Authorisations\" tool in GNOME (System -> Preferences -> System -> Authorisations). I've just tried this, and checking PA in System Monitor shows that it now has a negative nice (once I've rebooted) which should improve audio quality. I haven't done extensive testing yet, but it did seem to fix the audio \"tearing\".\n\n(In reply to comment #16) > Another thing to try is to give PulseAudio authorisation to run in real-time > and to reduce its nice level. You can do this through the \"Authorisations\" tool The pulse-rt group has the appropriate authorizations for this already, which is why it's just easier to add somebody to that group rather than mess with the authorizations. In reality, this is still sort of a bug, because it shouldn't be necessary to gain niceness and realtime authorizations to play audio with totem or any other app, especially when no other apps are running on a 2GHz Core2Duo with HDAIntel audio. But it's a quick fix anyway, regardless of the method you go about enabling the realtime authorization. Perhaps next time, something as \"experimental\" as pulseaudio won't be rushed in to replace the stuff that works just fine already? (Granted, the concept is nice, but it wasn't ready for F8, F9, and still isn't ready in F10).\n\nWell, despite adding my user to pulse-rt and giving PulseAudio authority to elevate itself and run as real-time, it doesn't appear to have made much difference - I'm still experiencing jumping and tearing in my audio in Rhythmbox. To a certain extent, it is better than F9 in that it doesn't just drop out, but it is still annoying that this bug hasn't been fixed yet...

I had a similar problem with totem-xine, but I updated to pulseaudio-0.9.14-1.fc10.i386 from the updates-testing repository (yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update pulseaudio) and everything seems fine. However, in any app, I still get some slight \"tearing\" in audio in the first few seconds of anything I play.\n\n(In reply to comment #19) > I had a similar problem with totem-xine, but I updated to > pulseaudio-0.9.14-1.fc10.i386 from the updates-testing repository (yum > --enablerepo=updates-testing update pulseaudio) and everything seems fine. > > However, in any app, I still get some slight \"tearing\" in audio in the first > few seconds of anything I play. I decided I'd do the same as you, but unfortunately it hasn't fixed my problems with the audio \"tearing\".\n\nIs this bug about lag or about initial crackling? If it's about lag, does it still happen?\n\n(In reply to comment #21) > Is this bug about lag or about initial crackling? If it's about lag, does it > still happen? When I initially reported the bug, my main concern was about the sound artifacts in armacycles-ad/armagetron-ad. However, the pulseaudio problems I experienced caused me to stop playing that game. (It may be useful for somebody to test that program after the F11 general release.) I'm not really sure how best to describe the problem, but perhaps the phrase \"rhythmic echoing that appeared to be a burst of audio delayed from game audio events\" (i.e. sounds that should have been played were not played on time and scheduled to burst simultaneously at a later time, and at regular intervals, when several sounds were queued). Some people have reported that adding the user to pulse-rt group helped a bit (but this should NOT be necessary for basic game or audio usage). For me, this problem helped fix similar \"bursts\" of static in totem-xine while playing movies. In my opinion, the bug persists because of two primary problems (which may be related): 1. any app that uses audio, loses the first 1-2 seconds when started (or resumed, if previously paused). 2. improper scheduling/timing causes frequent skips, static, bursts, artifacts, etc. I don't know the programming details, so I can't desribe much more, but for me, on my basic Dell laption with Intel Core2 Duo configurations (845GM and 865GM, one of each), these problems shouldn't exists, as performance is not a concern. However, ever since pulseaudio was introduced, I've continued to experience these problems. That was a long answer, but a shorter answer probably would be \"both\", and yes they still happen (although the lag doesn't happen as often in the pulse-rt group, but I really shouldn't have to put users there to get basic playback to work correctly).\n\nI fear that after comment #12 or so, this bug became too general to be properly triaged. I'm inclined to suggest that for the purpose of this bug, we consider only the original issue - the sound artifacts in armacycles-ad/armagetron-ad. Can anyone report whether or not this specific problem remains with recent pulseaudio? And, if anyone has a specific issue with sound problems in other apps, please start a new bug and include specific information including kernel version, alsa-libs version, sound card model and kernel module used, and any pertinent information about the pulseaudio configuration.\n\nI am experiencing this \"sound lag\" bug in Fedora 11. I apply all stable updates. So I assume most-recent PulseAudio default setup. When I play Quake 4 (Linux compatible game), sometimes the sound will lag. This was never a problem in Fedora 9, but happens semi-regularly in Fedora 11. Everything will be fine, then a glitch / pause / etc... After that, all sounds have ~1 second delay. If I quit / restart game, sometimes it fixes, sometimes not. Usually I need to logout-login, then sounds are normal for a while. I know that Quake 4 was \"released\" before PulseAudio, so it could be an application-specific issue. As requested, I may open a new bug for this. Feel free to send me information about what logs / commands I should post.\n\nThis message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping\n\nFedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.",

Unable to complete steps with out knowledge of this. Suggestions for improvement: [root@master]# oc policy add-role-to-user admin trey -n default [root@master]# oc policy add-role-to-user admin trey -n openshift Additional information: more explanation on why you much have these role for the users in both project in order to push images in the docker registry container.\n\n\"admin\" on \"default\" and \"openshift\" is too wide a role for the permission you're trying to grant. \"system:image-builder\" is more appropriate, but we still haven't fully baked whether we want to encourage binding users to system roles (liggitt on copy for an opinion). Now about what you're trying to do overall. I would not expect average users to be able to push images into \"default\" and \"openshift\". Ordinarily, you'd have a user pushing images to the repository for his own project and admins and editors already have permissions to do that. Are you looking to grant someone permission to push shared images? If so, do you envision that being a manual or automated process? Such distinctions are important for proper descriptions in the doc.\n\nNormal users shouldn't have admin/edit/view roles in the default or openshift projects, only in their own projects. I'd tend to lean towards using the admin,edit,view roles for normal users, rather than roles like system:image-builder. If you want to give a normal (non-cluster-admin) user permission to push images to the openshift namespace, but don't want to give them edit access in that namespace, that should probably be a red flag that you are doing something unusual.\n\nBased on David and Jordan's responses, I am going to close this bug as WONTFIX.

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\nFrom vendor-sec: Christian Borntraeger found a security relevant problem with the Linux system calls argument passing for at least s390, powerpc, sparc64 and mips: The ABI for some architectures defines that the caller of a function has to sign extend each parameter to full register width. This is a problem in Linux system call handling. For example with this system call on 64 bit: asmlinkage long sys_example(unsigned int index) { if (index > 5) return -EINVAL; return example_array[index]; } It would mean that the caller has to sign extend index to 64 bit. In this case the caller is userspace. So we cannot rely on a correct sign extension. But actually we just pass userspace delivered parameters unmodified to the system call function. The above example could break like this: The compiler can create code that will only test the lower 32 bits of the register that contain index to make sure its value is <= 5. However to access the memory location to get the value out of the array it can use the same unmodified (64 bit) register as index register, since the caller had to make sure that the upper 32 bits of the register contain zeroes. But since the value came from user space this isn't guaranteed and can lead to an addressing exception. Or userspace reads or even writes from/to memory locations it is not allowed to have access to. Please note that this has nothing to do with compat system calls. This is an issue with 64 bit kernel and 64 bit userspace but 32 bit arguments. Unfortunately the issue must be considered to be already public: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123155111608910&w=2\n\nCommon Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2009-0029 to the following vulnerability: The ABI in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 and earlier on s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips 64-bit platforms requires that a 32-bit argument in a 64-bit register was properly sign extended when sent from a user-mode application, but cannot verify this, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted system call.

My changes are dependent on the PPPoE patch for pppd and kernel 2.4 with PPPoE and packet socket support. A patched version of pppd, which adds the PPPoE plugin, may be found at http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~mostrows/ppp-2.4.0-pppoe4.tgz. As far as I have seen, no pppd rpms contain this PPPoE plugin.

Attempt to run out of space by creating DataVolumes on a specific node. (import an image from HTTP, image type: qcow2.xz/gz) 2. When space runs out, the importer pod gets stuck in \"Pending\" status. oc get pods -w 3. Attempt to delete the DataVolume which should cause space to run out: oc delete dv 4. Check that associated PV is removed: oc get pv Actual results: Associated PV isn't removed (PVC is). Expected results: DataVolume is deleted successfully with its PVC and PV. Additional info: Storage type used: hostpath-provisioner 1) Also tested this with qcow2 images, getting inconsistent behavior: Run #1: The importer pod was stuck in \"Pending\", but no PV was created. Deleted the DV successfully. After that, tried to create a 4Gi DV (assuming there is enough space now) - importer pod gets stuck in \"Pending\" status. Run #2: The importer pod was stuck in \"Pending\", and PV was created. Deleted the DV successfully - PVC, PV deleted too. Proceeded to create a new small DV - importer pod gets stuck in “Pending”. Run #3: Same behavior as qcow2.xz/gz 2) After deleting the DV, I attempted to create a new small DV on the same node. The importer pod for this process is stuck in \"Pending\". Eventually (~25 minutes) the node status changes to \"NotReady\". oc get nodes output: [cnv-qe-jenkins@cnv-executor-alex22 cnv2329]$ oc get nodes NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION host-172-16-0-23 Ready master 6d1h v1.16.2 host-172-16-0-25 Ready master 6d1h v1.16.2 host-172-16-0-26 Ready master 6d1h v1.16.2 host-172-16-0-27 Ready worker 6d1h v1.16.2 host-172-16-0-40 NotReady worker 6d1h v1.16.2 host-172-16-0-57 Ready worker 6d1h v1.16.2 yamls: dv.yaml: apiVersion: cdi.kubevirt.io/v1alpha1 kind: DataVolume metadata: annotations: kubevirt.io/provisionOnNode: host-172-16-0-40 name: dv-test-20g-qcow2-xz-1 spec: pvc: accessModes: - ReadWriteOnce resources: requests: storage: 45Gi storageClassName: hostpath-provisioner source: http: url: \"http:///.qcow2.xz\"\n\nWe should have a release note once we have a workaround for this.\n\nAdam, could you provide the proper workaround when this bug happens?\n\nAlexander, can you attempt to reproduce this and determine the least invasive workaround for when this issue occurs on a CNV 2.2 installation?\n\nSo the problem is that when we use /var/hpvolumes as the path, we are using the same partition as where the OS is running. So basically we are leaving the OS no temporary space that it uses for various things, and thus the entire node goes down. Once that happens the kubelet is dead, and nothing you do from a cluster perspective will cure it. You will have manually go into the node and free up some space so the OS and thus the kubelet can recover, after which everything should start working again. Solution: Make a separate partition for your storage needs that does not share storage with the OS.\n\nOpened a PR against the hpp, to have a warning in the README about not sharing the storage with the OS. https://github.com/kubevirt/hostpath-provisioner/pull/39\n\nAlexander confirmed the workaround is to access the node and free up storage. I believe the next step is to engage the Documentation team to update the product documentation with a recommendation similar to the one given in https://github.com/kubevirt/hostpath-provisioner/pull/39.\n\naccording to comment #6, moving this bug to doc team.

Reading the changes in the implementation of e2fsck, I noticed that updates of the backups seem to be now only done when major changes occured. In that case, there seem to be major differences because if I try to repare my filesystem using one of the backups, many files seem to be broken. Is there a way to resynchronize the backups with the \"master\" ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): e2fsprogs-1.32-6 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a fresh FC2 2. check the filesystem using a backup superblock 3. try to force a fsck.ext3 Actual Results: There seems to be a lot of desynchronization between Group0 superblocks and backups Expected Results: After an fsck.ext3 on the partition, superblock backups should be synchronized Additional info: Things are worse when you try a kickstart install for some reason\n\nRemoving the security severity, this is a bug, not a security issue.\n\nSorry Josh, but as far as I'm concerned it's a (data) security issue ;-) but I accept it as a \"bug\" anyway\"\n\nAssigning to kernel. Superblock backups are handled by the filesystem itself.\n\nThis behaviour is intended. Large filesystems can have many backups (although the number is limited if you build the fs with sparse superblocks, which is the default these days.) Updating them all synchronously would be an unacceptable performance penalty. It would also defeat part of the purpose of the backups: if something goes wrong, the backups should remain pristine so that they can be relied on during the fsck. Now, some things in the backups will go out of date. That includes the fs-wide and per-group free block / free inode counts, the last-mounted-on timestamps and so on. If you fsck from the backup, then some minor inconsistencies are expected, especially regarding the per-block-group counts. But these counts can be completely recomputed by reading the filesystem bitmaps. But if you're claiming \"many files seem to be broken\", that would imply there's actual *file* damage, not just bitmap count damage, that is dependent on the precise superblock in use. That's not expected (unless the superblock or backups are physically damaged in some way so that the static data in them is out of sync); if you can reproduce it, could you please attach a log showing the problem? Otherwise, it's just running as designed.\n\nI'll try to get time to reproduce the bug but as far as I can see it, it really appears to be a bug. I understand the \"small\" out of synchronization issues as you stated them and it fits what I found out myself. However, when I say \"broken\", it meens that as far as I don't do a fsck with a superblock backup, things are ok (and I can use my computer as usual) but when I restart the computer after an fsck, I end up with kernel panic issues because some files can't be found (typically the init file but it can be others). I'll try to reproduce the bug and send you some logs about the problem but since it involves reinstalling a computer from scratch, it can take some time.\n\nFC2 shipped with e2fsprogs-1.35-7.1.

Most of the files that used to be present in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 were architecture independent data, and they will end up in /usr/share/X11 in modular X, however there are some modular X packages which may still install some files into /usr/lib/X11, and so they must also own this directory, which means it can no longer be a symbolic link. In order to correct this problem, the \"filesystem-2.3.6-1\" package, no longer provides the /usr/lib/X11 symlink. Any package that installs real files into /usr/lib/X11 (which should only be X.Org packages, as no other package should ever put things there), must now have: Requires: filesystem >= 2.3.6-1 added to it, to avoid a conflict with the older filesystem package.\n\nNOTE: To clarify futher /usr/lib/X11 usage *NO* Fedora/RHEL packages should install anything into /usr/lib/X11 unless they are part of X.Org X11 itself. This directory is for the exclusive use of the X Window System, much like /usr/lib/xchat is for the exclusive use of xchat. Packages that are not part of the X Window System need to stop abusing the filesystem layout and put their files in their own directories.

All of the packages that were updated to depend on the newer \"filesystem\" package, now need to be updated to also \"Requires(pre): xorg-x11-filesystem >= 0.99.2-2\" in order for upgrades to work properly.\n\nActually, if I put the \"filesystem\" dep in the xorg-x11-filesystem package, then all the packages can depend on xorg-x11-filesystem instead, and they don't all have to cart around the dependency.

The effect is the same whether X11 runs or not. We use the following keymap file: /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwertz/fr_CH-latin1.map.gz although the same problem continues to happen when I used loadkeys to switch back and forth with the US keymap. I have used loadkeys to change the key mapping for keycode 58 between Caps_Lock and, for example, \"a\". The problem disappears when the mapping is changed from Caps_Lock, but reappears when the mapping is restored. For us the priority is fairly high on this problem because linux is more and more being used on user's desk and they don't understand when told that the Caps_Lock key doesn't work and of course when they press either Caps_Lock or Num_lock by error, they get very confused when the keyboard stops working and then they complain to their boss who complains to me...

It may be notable to mention that both i586 and athlon arch packages of Mandrake 8.2 do not reboot properly, so they may be compiling in different options that trigger this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): skipjack-beta1 How reproducible: Always Additional info: 1. Mandrake 8.2 on this machine has the same problem. 2. MandrakeForum has some reports of non-laptop Athlon machines exhibiting this behavior. 3. eric owns the same model Sony FXA-36 laptop and has reported the same problem to the Skipjack mailing list. (All current FXA series laptops have the same motherboard chipset, but different processors.)\n\nI forgot to mention that \"noathlon\" kernel option did not change test results of the failed kernels above.\n\nCreated attachment 51324 [details] \"dmesg\" output\n\nCreated attachment 51325 [details] \"lspci -v\" output\n\nCreated attachment 51326 [details] dmidecode output (suggested by Mandrake kernel developer)\n\nThis problem did not exist in earlier athlon arch kernels. Would it be possible for me to have access to older athlon Rawhide kernel builds in order to do testing to find when this bug was introduced?\n\nThis page http://www.myplc.com/sony/vaio_unix_guide.htm thinks that this is a hard drive controller issue. One guy recompiled the Rawhide kernel with experimental ACPI and it prevented the reboot freeze. Installing the i686 arch kernel rather than athlon arch also prevents the reboot freeze.\n\nStill exists in Red Hat 7.3 release.\n\nI have the same problem on 7.2 and 7.3\n\nFor now you can use the i686 kernel to avoid this reboot bug. Alternatively you can compile yourself an ACPI capable kernel, although you will want to use the latest 2.4.19-pre- Alan Cox kernel to have a working ACPI implementation that doesn't crash.\n\nI fail to see how ACPI could make *ANY* difference in this. The only difference between the athlon and i686 kernel is how memcpy() is implemented....\n\nAPM athlon gets stuck in reboot with IDE light stuck on. APM i686 reboots fine. ACPI athlon reboots fine. ACPI i686 reboots fine. I can't explain it. I only know this through empirical testing.\n\nCompaq Presario 700 series with Mobile Athlon or Duron processor has the same hang in BIOS with HD light stuck on after rebooting from Red Hat athlon optimized kernel. rpm --force installing the i686 kernel RPM fixes this problem on this series of laptops too. This may be more generally a \"Mobile Athlon w/ certain VIA Chipset\" problem.\n\nConfirmed still hangs after reboot with athlon kernel-2.4.18-7.80, but not i686 kernel-2.4.18-7.80 of Limbo2.\n\nOk I think I have a handle on this, it seems you bios doesn't like the LOCAL APIC config option, which happened to be turned on for Athlon and off for i686\n\nWould a permanent solution in the kernel be possible, or we must always use a the i686 workaround?\n\nI've disabled local apic for athlon kernels too in the config, that'll be in the next build\n\nkernel-2.4.18-0.75.athlon reboot SUCCESS kernel-2.4.18-0.75.i686 reboot FAIL kernel-2.4.18-0.75.i586 reboot SUCCESS kernel-2.4.18-0.75.i386 reboot SUCCESS Should close bug?\n\nAnaconda using kernel-2.4.18-10.99 locks up after reboot. Can this fix be applied to that kernel too?\n\nSo, looks like we still need to do something with the boot kernel, but since we don't run separate boot kernels (per arch) not sure what the correct fix is here. Reopening to get an answer.\n\nUnfortionatly we can't do this for the BOOT kernel since that would disable the workaround needed for buggy 440GX chipset bioses ;(\n\nReproduced this problem on the Compaq Presario 900US. This laptop has an ALi chipset, unlike the Sony Vaio FXA series and Presario 700 series which both have VIA. This may be indicative that this is more generally a Mobile Athlon kernel problem. Unrelated bug: This Presario 900 series laptop seems completely inoperative with the ALI IDE kernel drivers, failing after over a minute of attempting to access the hard drive or CD-ROM IDE devices. I am testing it with various other kernels tomorrow.\n\nIf the ALi problem is present in the Null beta kernel please open a seperate bug for it and stick alan in the cc line.

Guess what, systems still hangs when rebooting, displaying the Sony logo and the LED is stuck. IF you wait some time, the BIOS eventually tells you that there was a keyboard error. I checked the config and it says \"Local APIC support on uniprocessors\" is disabled, but the problem persists. Any chances on seeing this issue fixed? Thanks, Luis Delgado (Curly Howard) pangair\n\npangair, Are you sure that you installed the athlon arch kernel?\n\nHow do I check that out?

Anyway, I have /home on a partition that I didn't want touched on a new install, so I selected custom install, and kept the same username (upgrading from F12). When asked, I selected 'use the existing home dir as yours'. I was assigned UID 500, but all the untouched partitions for which I'd specified mount points were assigned a UID:GID of 501 (which doesn't exist). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Fresh install, custom partition, reuse home directory Actual results: All specified mount points given UID:GID that isn't in /etc/passwd Expected results: All specified mount points given UID:GID of 500 Additional info: / was the only partition formatted. /home and all other partitions (which I have under /mnt) were assigned during the install but otherwise left untouched.\n\nWhat UID/GID did you have before upgrading?\n\nAh. That didn't occur to me. Now that you ask, it seems that the most likely answer is that it was 501, and that this isn't a bug at all. However, there've never been more than two users on the computer, and I always added myself as the default user on install. Alas, I've no idea what UID I had, and it's possible that it was 501 when I upgraded from 10->12 (or earlier) via yum. If there's a way of finding out the original UID, please let me know and I'll dig it out.\n\nNone that I can think of offhand. Sorry.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Managing Quick Look in full screen in Mountain Lion\n\nMountain Lion supports full-screen options for Quick Look that can be exceptionally useful when previewing files.\n\nApple's Quick Look feature in OS X is a convenient way to preview the contents of a document before opening it fully in an application. To invoke Quick Look, simply select a file in the Finder and press the spacebar, and you will see a window appear that shows a view of the contents of the file, or for unsupported file types will show the file's icon along with some information about it.\n\nQuick Look uses small plug-ins that provide it with a lightweight interpretation of a specific file format, so it can display some detail about the file to you. While convenient, the initial implementations of Quick Look in past versions of OS X have had problems with either displaying large quantities of content that you had to scroll through, or getting stuck when resizing windows when you switch between items, sometimes resulting in a small window being used to display a large image and making it difficult to see.\n\nWhile these issues may still happen from time to time in Mountain Lion and while you can resize the Quick Look window manually to accommodate its contents, Apple's use of full-screen modes for applications makes managing these occurrences a bit easier.\n\nWhen you invoke Quick Look, you will now see a small zoom option in the top right of the window, and as with any application that supports a full-screen view, when clicked this will bring the current Quick Look view to full screen (Quick Look's full-screen option is a little unusual in that it does not occupy its own space, but rather is an overlay to the current space).\n\nIn addition to the full-screen option, Apple has included a small shortcut for invoking full screen that can make navigating and previewing files with Quick Look much easier. With the Quick Look window open simply pinch-zoom on a multitouch trackpad and the Quick Look window will expand to full screen. If you do not have a multitouch trackpad, then you can hold the Option key when pressing the spacebar to invoke Quick Look immediately in full-screen mode.\n\nFor image files, holding the Option key down will display the images at their native resolution in full-screen mode, but you can release the Option key in this mode to have Quick Look zoom the image to the entire screen.\n\nThese full-screen options makes previewing some files' contents far easier, especially if they contain formatted text, which is common in Office documents.\n\nQuestions?

But using two fingers or other gestures to scroll or move around had no effect.\n\nA Web search discovered other testers and users bumping into the same obstacle. This is odd, because I ran into no such problems with the Windows 8 Release Preview. So why doesn't Windows 8 RTM handle touch-pad gestures right off the bat?\n\nA Microsoft representative confirmed to CNET that Windows 8 RTM offers a generic driver that recognizes the touch pad as input, but the edge and multitouch gestures are not supported. In contrast, the Windows 8 Release Preview came with Elan alpha drivers to give people a taste of the full multitouch experience.\n\nElan and Synaptics are both working on updated touch-pad drivers, according to the rep. Those aren't yet public, so Microsoft can't distribute them. Many PC vendors also offer drivers that can enable multitouch gestures, but those aren't yet fully optimized for Windows 8.\n\nI resolved the problem by downloading drivers directly from Synaptics. I first hunted the Web for Windows 8 touch-pad drivers, but that search proved empty. Going directly to the Synaptics Web site, I discovered a page for generic touch-pad drivers for every operating system from Windows 95 to Windows 7, but no Windows 8 yet.\n\nDownloading the Windows 7/Vista/XP drivers did the trick, though. After installing the 64-bit drivers in the Windows 8 RTM, I got my gestures and a full control panel for the touch pad where I could adjust all the settings. The drivers also picked up the red pointing stick on my Lenovo laptop, so I can now tweak that as well as my touch pad.\n\nThe Windows 7 Synaptics drivers seem to fill the niche just fine, at least until Windows 8-specific drivers become available.\n\nUpdate, 10:15 a.m. PT: Adds response from Microsoft.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# IE security bug leaves files vulnerable\n\nMicrosoft is investigating a vulnerability in Internet Explorer that could give attackers free rein in reading known files on targeted computers.\n\nThe bug is the latest in a long history of vulnerabilities involving the use of Web scripting languages to circumvent browsers' security restrictions. One of the most widely used of these scripting languages, which let Web sites execute one or more actions on visitors' computers, is JavaScript.\n\nNormally, a Web site can point to a local file on a visitor's computer and call that file up in a browser window. Under IE's security restrictions, only the visitor should be able to read it.\n\nBut in a scripting sleight of hand demonstrated by Bulgarian bug hunter Georgi Guninski, IE 5.5 lets the Web server inject a JavaScript address into the window displaying that local file--and through that scripting code read targeted files and relay them back to the Web server.\n\nThe fault lies in IE's Web Browser control, an ActiveX control that manages the sending and receiving of files. The problem is that the control is handling the JavaScript code in the security context of the visitor's computer, rather than in the Web site server that planted it.\n\nMicrosoft said it was investigating the problem but declined to comment further on it or the technologies involved.\n\nSecurity analysts said the risk from such a scenario was high, and that the frequency of similar vulnerabilities pointed to a fundamental problem with the security models Microsoft and other software companies employed for their consumer products.\n\n\"The technology required is not new,\" SecurityFocus.com analyst Elias Levy wrote in an advisory on the bug to the Bugtraq security mailing list. \"It's been available for years in 'trusted' operating systems used for some purposes by the military. Things like compartments, capabilities, privileges, information labels and data tainting need to be adopted by consumer operating systems.\"",

Red Hat, by announcing its Premier Cloud Provider Certification and Partner Program and Amazon's entry in that program, hopes to allay these concerns and claim for itself a significant percentage of the money set to pour into the cloud-computing gold rush.\n\nFor the past five years, CIOs have given Red Hat top ranking for value. A significant part of this value, as Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst revealed on Red Hat's first-quarter earnings call, is the company's ability to corral a complex array of third-party software vendor certifications and package them into the Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform, giving the CIO peace of mind that whatever the application, it will \"just work\" on RHEL.\n\nNow Red Hat wants to bring that peace of mind to the cloud, effectively giving CIOs a way to follow the Red Hat brand well beyond the four walls of their data center into public cloud offerings like Amazon Web Services, and then back to their own private clouds, if they so choose.\n\nWith over 3,500 applications certified to work with RHEL, and likely thousands of others that haven't sought formal certification, Red Hat is offering CIOs a safe way to extend their computing to the cloud. Intriguingly, it's likely that only Microsoft can make similarly potent claims, given its own application ecosystem and core infrastructure that can be used to power cloud computing.\n\nRed Hat and Microsoft, duking it out to be the center of the cloud.\n\nThe two companies bring a very different mindset to cloud computing, not the least reason being that Microsoft's cloud offering, Azure, also competes with the very cloud providers it hopes to enable. Red Hat is not competing with its partners.\n\nRed Hat's strategy is founded in choice, as I discovered in a call with Mike Evans, Red Hat's vice president of Corporate Development, who has been heading up Red Hat's cloud-computing efforts.\n\nQ. Red Hat isn't one to try to hang out with \"the cool kids,\" just because they're cool. Why is Red Hat getting into cloud computing now? What do you hope to accomplish?\n\nEvans: Some may not remember, but Red Hat has actually been involved with cloud computing since at least 2007, when we announced we were offering RHEL in Amazon's Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2) service. During that time we were fine-tuning our cloud offering, not only technologically but also from a support and business model perspective. Cloud computing is a fundamental shift in how software gets delivered, and it took roughly 18 months of largely beta testing to get to a point where we felt we had an offering that could live up to Red Hat's reputation for quality and service.\nDuring that beta period, we spent a lot of time talking with CIOs, trying to understand their concerns with cloud computing and how Red Hat could overcome them. CIOs have two primary concerns with cloud computing--security and interoperability--but also worry around SLAs [service-level agreements], compliance, and more. The area where Red Hat felt like it could have the biggest immediate impact is on interoperability.\n\nThere are three levels of interoperability: data formats, management and measurement, and applications.\n\nData-format interoperability is the lowest level, and basically means, \"Once I'm running my application with Cloud Provider X, can I get my data out and move my application to Cloud Provider Y?\" This turns out to be non-trivial to overcome if different cloud providers run on different \"substrates,\" or infrastructure components like operating system, application servers, etc.\n\nThen there is the management and measurement piece. Once IT starts working with a given set of tools like Hyperic for managing its cloud assets on, for example, its Rightscale cloud, will it be able to continue using these same tools if it moves to a private cloud or Amazon cloud? A CIO needs to know that its tools investment will follow it from cloud to cloud. Again, this is difficult when switching between disparate cloud \"substrates.\"\n\nFinally, interoperability is a question of application portability. How can a CIO be sure that an application written for a Google cloud will work with Salesforce, Amazon, or another cloud?\n\nAt the macro level, Red Hat and open source can break down these interoperability barriers. We can't hide behind proprietary APIs. It's in our DNA to be interoperable.\n\nIt's also in cloud computing's DNA. Today, virtually every cloud-computing service, with the exception of Microsoft's, is built using open-source software. This works to Red Hat's advantage, because the world is already building cloud computing on Linux, for example.\n\nFor its part, Microsoft, too, will need to eventually capitulate to open source because it simply won't be able to keep up. Imagine having to rewrite all of the great open-source cloud software like Hadoop. How can Microsoft do that and remain competitive?\n\nWhy Red Hat? What role does your certification program play in all this?\n\nEvans: Red Hat is firmly positioned to take on CIOs' core concerns with security and interoperability. With JBoss, RHEL, and our virtualization offerings, Red Hat already provides the trusted low-level infrastructure, or \"substrate\" as I've called it, upon which many CIOs depend. Given that we believe most cloud-computing involvement, at least initially, will be in private clouds, it's important that CIOs feel they can trust their cloud infrastructure. Red Hat delivers that trust.\nWe want, however, for CIOs to feel that they can move to public clouds like Amazon Web Services with confidence, so this certification program offers cloud-computing vendors a way to tell reluctant CIOs, \"This cloud is safe for you.\" Our business model is founded in choice, as CIOs know. We're looking to make clouds safe, not a new way to lock them in. This new certification program is a significant step toward making cloud computing a reality for many CIOs that would otherwise be too nervous.\n\nWe're also offering a great way to bring confidence to ISVs that don't want to have to rewrite their applications for all the different cloud-computing providers. One aim of this certification program is to provide a certified, common substrate to which ISVs can write their applications. Many ISVs will find that the work they've already done to certify to RHEL will work just fine with RHEL in the cloud. JBoss, for example, worked \"out of the box\" when we ran it in the cloud for the first time.\n\nFinally, CIOs are concerned about getting support and security updates for their applications and workloads, whether running on private clouds or public clouds. CIOs aren't dumping their private computing infrastructure in a mad rush to public clouds. They want good ways to leverage both. This Red Hat program certifies select cloud providers that have a strong support, technical, and business partnership with Red Hat, giving CIOs confidence to move into the public cloud.\n\nIn these ways, Red Hat is taking the complexity and risk out of cloud computing for end customers, ISVs, and cloud providers. We spent 18 months making the cloud work for Red Hat, and now want to make those efforts available to others through this certification program.\n\nFollow me on Twitter @mjasay.",

Adobe's free app lets you capture, store and share all manner of documents. Here's how it works.\n\nUsing your phone to \"scan\" documents is nothing new. Using an Adobe app to snap, store and share those scans? That's new.\n\nAdobe Scan (Android|iOS) is a free tool that turns your phone into a document scanner. With it, Adobe joins the likes of Office Lens and Scannable in providing a fast and easy way to capture receipts, business cards, whiteboards and the like.\n\nAlthough it's pretty simple to use, there are a few things you should know about Scan -- so let's do a quick tutorial.\n\n### Scanning with Scan\n\nAfter installing the app, you'll need to sign into your Adobe account -- or sign up for one if necessary. It's free to do so, though it's not immediately clear how much storage is available as part of that free account. (I even signed into my Adobe Document Cloud in a desktop browser, but my selected plan was simply the \"free\" one -- no mention of storage allotment.)\n\nTo scan a document, just tap the camera icon and line it up to fill as much of the screen as possible. You'll need at least moderate lighting for the app to perform its automated edge detection and snap the first scan. If you have more than one page, just flip to the next one, line it up and wait for the next snap. Repeat as needed until you've captured all the pages.\n\nThe app will continue looking for documents to capture until you tap the document thumbnail in the lower-right corner (or turn off auto-capture, which is the icon second-from-right in the top-right corner).\n\n### Tweaking your scan\n\nAfter you've completed your scan, you'll have the option to make changes -- starting with the name. Tap the little pencil icon up top if you want to rename the document from the default \"Scan [date].\"\n\nAcross the bottom, there are six edit icons. From left to right:\n\n* Capture more photos to add to this scan, or import from your existing photo library.\n* Reorder the pages in the scan.\n* Crop the currently visible page.\n* Rotate 90 degrees clockwise.\n* Switch from the default Auto Color image-correction to original photo, grayscale or whiteboard.\n* Delete the scan.\n\nWhen you're done, tap Save PDF in the top-right corner. That'll immediately upload your scan to Document Cloud. Just keep in mind that once you complete that action, you can no longer do any editing on the document.\n\nFinally, tap Share if you want to email the scan as an attachment, create a link to share or access any of the other typical sharing options. Alternately, you can tap Open in Acrobat (provided you have that app installed). Like Scannable, Adobe Scan employs an OCR engine so you can edit text after sending a document there.",

The robotics company just posted a video of SpotMini in its autonomous navigation mode, bringing us that much closer to the robot apocalypse.\n\nThe video description reads:\n\n> \n\nBefore the test, the robot is manually driven through the space so it can build a map of the space using visual data from cameras mounted on the front, back and sides of the robot. During the autonomous run, SpotMini uses data from the cameras to localize itself in the map and to detect and avoid obstacles. Once the operator presses 'GO' at the beginning of the video, the robot is on its own.\n\nOnce SpotMini familiarizes itself with the building's layout, it's able to get to the programmed destination all by itself, without hitting any walls or obstacles. Smart dog... maybe too smart.\n\nHere are some other highlights from Boston Dynamics' cute/creepy SpotMini:",

This was due to a server crash that was eventually traced to a bad Ethernet card (that has now been replaced).

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Vista delay is back to the future for Redmond\n\nAnnouncement won't help Microsoft shed the reputation that it's perennially late shipping products, says CNET News.com's Charles Cooper.\n\nOnce the shock wears off, executives are sure to have very frank discussions with their counterparts in Redmond. It's been quite some time since the computer business had a wow product it could rally around and offer to customers as an incentive to upgrade. These folks were counting on Vista.\n\nIn Microsoft's view, this is simply a decision to delay the ship date by a few weeks. But it's much more.\n\nMicrosoft's OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) were banking on a big bang rollout in the fourth quarter. This extends throughout the PC food chain--from chipmakers to storage providers to applications developers and yes, computer manufacturers.\n\nThe new launch is now scheduled for January 2007. Microsoft is downplaying the slip, saying the extra time was needed to build better security into the product. That may be so, but this is Microsoft's biggest product launch in years. Considering the amount of resources being thrown at the Vista project, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and CEO Steve Ballmer now face unyielding embarrassment. How could things go so wrong this late in the process? For years, Microsoft fought to shed a reputation for being perennially late shipping big projects like Windows and Windows NT. Tuesday's announcement only makes those questions front and center again.\n\nMicrosoft is downplaying suggestions that Tuesday's news suggests anything fundamentally wrong with the company's internal processes. Still, you have to ask whether the company has grown so large that its ability to undertake a project this complex is inevitably going to be hampered by its own bureaucratic sloth.\n\nLast time I was on the Redmond campus, I spoke with an engineer in Microsoft's labs. He was especially proud of a photo-filing feature his team had developed. The problem: Microsoft wouldn't be able to incorporate the functionality into the operating system until Vista (then called Longhorn) and that launch was then still two years away. And all the while that Microsoft meandered, Apple Computer had already developed technology that did much the same thing.\n\nRecall that last year Microsoft dropped several important features in order to not slow down the shipment plans. Microsoft even removed WinFS, a key piece of Longhorn, so that PC makers could plan around a holiday release.\n\nAs with everything it does, Microsoft is careful to cultivate its public relations. Earlier in the day, the company announced it would increase the distribution of its Xbox 360 video game consoles. But that bit of good news will get overshadowed because Vista will miss the entire '06 holiday shopping season.\n\nBeyond the obvious blow to its reputation, Microsoft's inability to tame Windows--always a notoriously hairy coding project--puts the company on the defensive at the worst possible juncture. Time was when Microsoft could get away with a product slip, shrug its shoulders and promise a \"new and improved\" version sometime soon. But that was pre-Internet, pre-Linux and pre-Google; 2006 is not 1996, and Microsoft's customers have other alternatives.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Black Hat 2007 sees Web 2.0 repeating Web 1.0 mistakes\n\nEverything old is new again at this year's Black Hat conference.\n\nLAS VEGAS--This year's Black Hat was pretty much summed up in a prescient keynote by Richard Clarke, the nation's former cyber security czar who is now a novelist and chairman of Good Harbor Consulting. Clarke said \"we're building more and more of our economy on cyberspace 1.0, yet we have secured very little of cyberspace 1.0.\" The apparent speed gained in Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), which is technology that divides processing tasks between the Web server (Web site) and the Web client (browser), has opened Web 2.0 to some old-school attacks.\n\nNothing more clearly demonstrated this than a live hijack of a Gmail account. In a talk originally to have been presented alongside his colleague David Maynor, Errata Security CEO Robert Graham demonstrated for a standing-room-only crowd how he was able to use a tool called Hamster and Ferret to sniff the wireless airwaves for the URLs of Web 2.0 sites. While talking about another matter entirely, Graham ran the tools in the background, sniffing the wireless packets in the conference room, looking for Web 2.0 sessions cookies used by those in the audience for his talk (if, as a speaker, you ever wanted to thwart those who would be checking e-mail during your presentation, this is the tool to use). Grabbing cookies is not new. What is new is that Graham was able to grab these Web 2.0 clear text session cookies out of the thin air and then plunk the captured URL into a new browser. No password is needed; the cookie itself is enough. Toward the end, Graham opened his Hamster tool and found several likely candidates. He chose one Gmail account that had been opened during his talk. The presentation screen lit up with some poor guy's active Gmail account briefly displayed. Everyone applauded before Graham quickly wiped the information from the screen.\n\nShould you avoid Gmail? No. If you simply change the URL in your Gmail bookmark (or any other Google-related bookmark) from http:// to https://, the Errata Security hack is no longer valid. That's not true, however, for Facebook, Hotmail, and several other Web 2.0 accounts. Graham says that while traditional Web 1.0 sites long ago learned to terminate session cookies, the cookies used on Web 2.0 sites don't expire for several years, so you could sniff accounts out of the air at your local Starbucks and months later still have access to that person's account. That's what's really scary about this new kind of man-in-the-middle attack: the victim has no idea that this is happening, and even changing the account password will have no effect. While you as an attacker can send messages, read existing messages, and even alter the look and feel of the Web mail service itself, you can't, however, lock the owner out of the account.\n\nIn a separate talk, Billy Hoffman and Brian Sullivan, both of SPI Dynamics, talked about the rush to Web 2.0, how even some established sites are \"Ajaxify-ing\" themselves at the expense of good security practices. To prove their point, the pair built an Ajax-enabled travel Web site, HackerTravel.com. They did so by following the current best practices for Ajax. In their talk, however, Sullivan and Hoffman showed how they could take advantage of known weaknesses within Ajax. For example, they could rearrange the JavaScript on the client to either book every seat on the plane (staging a denial-of-service attack) or purchase a round-trip ticket for $1.\n\nLast year, Hoffman talked about the many problems within Web 2.0 Ajax technology, and this year he more or less put the subject to bed by addressing developers and insisting that they not put business logic on the client side of the transaction; that they keep all of that on the Web server. You can hear more about this topic from Hoffman and Sullivan on a recent Security Bites podcast.\n\nLater in the conference Billy Hoffman returned with John Terrill, executive vice president and co-founder of Enterprise Management Technology, to talk about a prototype Web 2.0 worm they've built written in JavaScript and Perl. Hoffman explained that if there's a cross-site scripting vulnerability on a Web site, the worm can inject itself into that Web site in JavaScript form. Inside the worm is a Perl form so that when a user visits that Web site, the JavaScript version gets downloaded to their Web browser and the Perl form can inject itself into the Web server, so it can move from client to server with ease.\n\nWhile we've seen computer worms before, they claim their new creation can pull vulnerability data off security sites such as Secunia and then exploit those new vulnerabilities, rendering current desktop security protection ineffective. Currently such a worm does not exist in the wild, but Terrill and Hoffman insist it's possible for others to do what they've done. You can hear Hoffman talk more about his creation in this recent Security Bites podcast.\n\nThere is hope. In addition to better coding practices on the Web server, another way to prevent runaway Web 2.0 vulnerabilities is to lock down the JavaScript in the client's browser. At Black Hat, Mozilla released new tools allowing anyone to test their Firefox (or any browser) against JavaScript errors. What's significant is that you can also use this tool against Apple Safari, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Opera.\n\nIn an interview before her presentation, Window Snyder told me there are about 10,000 Firefox users worldwide who regularly download what are called nightly builds. Whenever the Mozilla security team puts out new fixes within the nightly builds, it's these 10,000 users who test the fixes on a wide variety of machines and under a wide variety of circumstances. Thus, Mozilla is able to roll out its security patches faster and with fewer headaches than its competitors. By tapping into their millions of users worldwide, Mozilla hopes more of these avid users will identify future Firefox flaws before they can be exploited.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n## HP Envy 13 (2016)\n\nYou can't tell it from this angle, but the new HP Envy 13 is one of the thinnest laptops ever made. It's just 12.9mm thick.\n\nThat's better: now you can see just how thin this computer can be.\n\nIt's not that much thinner than a MacBook Air, mind you, but the Envy does have a full-size HDMI port to connect it to a TV.\n\nLet's open the lid of the HP Envy 13 and show you what's underneath.\n\nNotice anything interesting about the shape of the lid? (If not, just click through to the next picture!)\n\nThat's right: that J-shaped lip actually lifts up the entire laptop to a more comfortable typing angle when you open the screen.\n\nThe lid has a round rubber foot that keeps you from scratching up the anodized aluminum surface when you open it.\n\nHere's the spacious, comfortable keyboard and touchpad you'll find underneath the screen.\n\nMy favorite feature: a responsive fingerprint reader that can let you log into Windows 10 without typing a password. It's fast and accurate.\n\nThe keys have a decent amount of travel when you press down. Also see: the Envy logo.\n\nEven the basic $800 Envy 13 comes with a crisp 1080p IPS screen. Bonus: a matte coating that cuts down on annoying reflections when you use it with light around.\n\nMinus: The screen loses a lot of brightness if you look at it off-center. Maybe not the best laptop for watching movies with friends.\n\nAnother minor quibble: all the laptop's ports have these rough, strange little gaps around them. The ports are unusually tight around USB devices, to the point where I need to exert some force to remove my thumbdrive.\n\nHere's a closer look at the HDMI port, so you can see what those gaps are like.\n\nThere's a weird thing going on with the Envy 13's charging, too. At some points during the charge cycle, the laptop's processor gets very slow -- enough that it takes several seconds just to switch between tabs in my Web browser. I've seen the issue on three different review units.\n\nTo be clear, the processor is fast when the laptop is unplugged, and fast when it's fully charged. The only time this shows up is when you're trying to charge it up from empty and use it at the same time.\n\nIt may have something to do with the computer's BIOS. When HP they sent me a third unit with an earlier version of the BIOS, it seemed to work OK...but as soon as I upgraded to a newer version, the issue reappeared. (HP is still investigating.)\n\nThe Envy 13's fan is always running, but it's not annoyingly loud. I rarely notice it unless I'm in a quiet room.\n\nAnother bright spot: the Bang & Olufsen-branded speakers have a wide, clear sound field. Great for dubstep. Not so great for high-pitched sounds, because they're pretty tinny.\n\nHere's the other side of the Envy 13, with one more full-size USB 3.0 port and a full-size SD card slot that won't leave your card hanging out the side.\n\nInsert Envy joke here.\n\nOne last look at the HP Envy 13.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Promise Pegasus J2 review: Finally, a RAID-enabled, superfast, supercompact Thunderbolt drive\n\nThe uniquely designed Pegasus J2 is perfect for deep-pocketed mobile users who want a compact, superfast, and RAID-enabled storage device.\n\nThe Promise Pegasus J2 may not be the first portable Thunderbolt drive on the market, but it's still one of a kind.\n\n# The Good\n\n# The Bad\n\n# The Bottom Line\n\nDespite that it's more compact than any other Thunderbolt portable drive I've reviewed, the J2 manages to be a dual-volume drive, offering users the option of using it as a RAID 0 (default) or RAID 1 drive. On top of that, it uses two solid-state drives as its storage to provide fast data speeds, no matter in what type of RAID you want to configure it in.\n\nThe J2 is far from perfect, however. It lacks support for other connection types, such as USB, and it requires an external adapter to offer top performance. It's expensive, too, costing about $800 for 256GB or $1,500 for 512GB, and you have to spend another $50 or so for the much-needed Thunderbolt cable, which isn't included.\n\nThat said, if you want a portable drive that offers fast performance, portability, style, and data security, the Pegasus J2 is currently the only one that fits that bill. If you're willing to sacrifice the RAID capability, also check the\n\n| Drive type | External Thunderbolt hard drive |\n| --- | --- |\n| Connector options | Thunderbolt |\n| Available capacities | 256GB, 512GB |\n| Product dimensions (WLH) | 2.91 inches x 4.33 inches x 0.81 inch |\n| Weight | 4.23 ounces |\n| Capacity of test unit | 256GB (SSD) |\n| OSes supported | Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later |\n\nDesign and features\n\nThe Pegasus J2 is just slightly larger than a deck of playing cards, and is about as thick. One of the drive's ends is slightly thicker than the other; at the thicker end, you'll find a Thunderbolt port and a power port. The power port is covered by a rubber lid and is not needed to use the drive. Similar to the rest of the portable Thunderbolt drives I've reviewed, the J2 is bus-powered; you just need to plug it into a computer with a Thunderbolt cable.\nUnlike the other drives, however, by design, the J2 only works at only some 30 percent of its data-rate capacity when bus-powered. If you want the drive to work at its best, you do need to plug in the included power adapter. According to Promise, the reason for this is because the Thunderbolt technology supplies only 10W per port, which is not enough juice for the J2's two internal drives to offer optimal performance. In my testing, there was indeed a huge difference in terms of the drive's performance between using it bus-powered and with the adapter (more on this below).\n\nThe drive's adapter can be used anywhere in the world since it supports AC input in the 100-to-240-volt range and comes with changeable prongs to fit any type of wall power outlets. If that's not travel-friendly enough, the J2's package also includes a nice leather carrying case.\n\nThe fact the drive has just one Thunderbolt port means that it can only be used at the end of a daisy chain in case you want to use multiple Thunderbolt devices together. This is not a big deal, though, since all portable Thunderbolt drives I've reviewed come with just one port. The drive offers no USB or FireWire support; consequently it can only be used with Thunderbolt-ready computers and is a lot less flexible than USB 3.0/Thunderbolt drives, such as the LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt or the Buffalo Mini Station.\n\nOn the inside, the J2 comes with two micro solid-state drives (SSD), which explains how it manages to remain very compact. It would be much larger physically if it used two standard SSDs. While the compact design is welcome, the downside is that you won't be able to replace the J2's internal storage yourself, which slightly defeats the purpose of RAID 1, in case you want to use the drive in this data-safety-first configuration.\n\nI reviewed the 256 version of the J2, and out of the box it's configured in RAID 0 to offer the best performance, and the full 256GB of storage space. The drive is preformatted in HFS+ for Mac; all you need to do is plug it in with a Thunderbolt cable of your own and you're ready to go. If you want to use it in RAID 1, which reduces its capacity to 128GB to offer redundancy for data safety, you'll need to use the Mac's built-in Disk Utility to configure and reformat it. This process took just a few seconds in my trials and will erase all existing data on the drive.\n\nThe J2 comes with no software and it can also be reformatted to use with Thunderbolt-enabled Windows computers.\n\nPerformance\n\nThe Pegasus J2 offered stellar performance when used with the included external power adapter. When used as a bus-powered drive, however, its performance took a big hit. And obviously, the drive is faster in RAID 0 then when used in RAID 1. Overall, however, no matter how you use it, it's still one of the fastest portable drives on the market.\nI tested the drive thoroughly. First I used it with the power adapter, and in RAID 0 it offered 202MBps for writing and 181MBps for reading; both were about the top speed compared with its peers. In RAID 1, these numbers were lowered to 180MBps and 178MBps for writing and reading, respectively, which is still very fast.\n\nWhen used as a bus-powered drive, however, its performance changed rather dramatically. In RAID 0, it now scored 84MBps for writing, about that of a USB 3.0 drive, and 153MBps for reading. In RAID 1, the writing speed was significantly lowered to just 31MBps, about the speed of a USB 2.0 drive; the reading speed, however, was still at 151MBps.\n\nOverall, the J2 offered very good performance. I do wish, however, that it could offer its optimal performance even when used as a bus-powered drive. For now, you do need to choose between performance and portability. I did notice that the drive became rather hot in an extended operation, noticeably hotter than any other drive of the same type. While it wasn't hot enough to cause any problems and it worked perfectly throughout my testing, it did give me a little concern about the drive's rather short two-year warranty.\n\n(Longer bars indicate better performance)\n\n| Read | Write |\n| --- | --- |\n\nConclusions\n\nSupercompact, fast, and supporting RAIDs, the Pegasus J2 makes a very good investment for Thunderbolt-enabled Mac owners who can afford it. The fact that it lacks USB 3.0, requires the power adapter for top performance, and is pricey will likely steer many general users away.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Possible reasons for slowdowns when launching applications\n\nSometimes applications in OS X that usually launch quickly may take longer to load. There can be a variety of reasons for this, including how frequently the program is launched, and problems with items in various system libraries.\n\nSometimes applications that usually launch quickly may take longer to load, and may either bounce in the Dock more than usual or take a while to show interface elements. The system may be otherwise responsive and active when this happens, and after the application loads it may also run well, but it might take a while to launch.\n\nInactive RAM\n\nCommonly used applications or those that were recently opened will usually reopen more quickly than when the same applications are launched right after the system is booted. This is in part because of the system's HotFiles cache where it stores commonly used files for quick access, but in addition part of the application may still be loaded in memory. When you quit an application, much of the code will remain in RAM as \"Inactive Memory,\" which will reactivate when the program is launched and thereby reduce load time. If a program is freshly launched after a restart, it may therefore take a little longer to load than when you usually open it.Fonts and other shared resources\n\nIf you have recently installed any fonts, sounds, or other shared items on your system, then applications that use them might take a little longer to load. Some applications will cache the commonly used items, but this will depend on the coding of the application. If you have many fonts on your system, use Font Book to help manage them and disable those you do not use. An easy way to do this is to make groups of fonts along with a single group that contains all your fonts. Then disable the \"All Fonts\" group and enable one of your other groups when only it is needed.Application-specific plug-ins and resources\n\nMany applications will have their own plug-ins and resources that they use. These are usually installed in a specified plug-ins directory, but the program may also use shared resources (for example, the \"Internet Plug-Ins\" that all Web browsers use). If there is a problem with one of these plug-ins then the program may have a hard time loading. You can try searching for the plug-ins, which many times are in a folder that is named either by the application (\"Creative Suite\") or by the developer (\"Adobe\"), and may be located in the following directories:Macintosh HD/Library/\n\nMacintosh HD/Library/Application Support/\n\nusername/Library/\n\nusername/Library/Application Support/Bad blocks\n\nUsually hardware problems with RAM, the GPU, and other system components result in either a crash or a hang when various programs are run that make use of the faults in these components. However, if there are bad blocks on your hard disk then the drive may try reading them and pause when loading, resulting in a hang during launch while the system tries to manage the inability to read the block. Generally bad blocks are dynamically reallocated to spare ones, but there might be times when you need to force this by running a scan using a program like DiskWarrior or Drive Genius.Network and optical drive activity\n\nIf the program you are using requires a network-related resource or one that is stored on an optical disc, then the program may pause when loading to wait for that resource to become ready. You can try testing this out by ejecting optical discs and disconnecting the network, but also can try navigating to the optical drive in the Finder and allowing it to spin up before launching the program (DVD players are susceptible to this type of hang).Permissions, preferences, and caches\n\nAnother possibility for why a program might take a while to load is that resources it uses may not be accessible. These can be items in the global and system directories, in addition to preferences and other items in the user's directory. There can also be problems with application caches the program uses. Try running a maintenance tool to remove caches on your system and running a permissions fix, and also try removing the preferences file for the application. The preferences file will usually be named according to the convention of \"domain.developer.name.plist\" (as in \"com.apple.iTunes.plist\" for the iTunes program), and be stored in the /username/Library/Preferences/ folder.Questions?

Canonical will hold an Ubuntu Developer Summit in October 2007 in Cambridge, Mass., to hash out details and implementation plans, he added.\n\nUbuntu's next update, Gutsy Gibbon, is due in October and will sport the version number 7.10, a reference to the year and month of its release. Following the six-month release cycle, Hardy Heron, or 8.04, is scheduled for release in April 2008.\n\nHardy Heron will be the second release to feature long-term support, in which Canonical sells support and provides bug fixes for three years for desktop versions and five years for server versions. The first release to feature long-term support was Dapper Drake, released in June 2006. Ordinary versions have support for 18 months.\n\nNumerous companies and projects have emerged in recent years to challenge leaders Red Hat and Novell's Suse, but Debian-based Ubuntu is one of the few to gain any prominence. Ubuntu founder and Canonical Chief Executive Mark Shuttleworth set up the project so that freely downloadable versions of Ubuntu are identical to the supported versions. In contrast, Red Hat and Novell only support versions that people pay for through subscription plans.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# There's more than one solution to a common wireless problem\n\nIf your PC's wireless connection hangs while attempting to acquire a network address, there may be more than one way to fix it.\n\nLife would be so much simpler if each problem we face had a single solution.\n\nOf course, \"simple\" and \"computer\" are two words you rarely find in close proximity, except when you hear someone say, \"My life would be so simple if I didn't own a computer.\"\n\nFor about two weeks, my notebook computer balked at linking to my wireless router. It would eventually connect, taking its own sweet time about it. Vista's Network and Sharing Center showed that Windows was struggling to acquire a network address.\n\nA quick Web search indicated that I wasn't the only one experiencing this problem. One forum described three different solutions to the glitch: re-enter your network's encryption key; delete your network place and recreate it with a new name; and update or replace your wireless adapter.\n\nOther forum posters suggested starting the DHCP client service, cloning the MAC address, changing the DHCP IP to the same setting as the wireless router, even disabling TCP/IP (I don't recommend this technique). I knew I was going nowhere when someone seriously suggested buying a longer ethernet cable.\n\nIf you're using Windows XP with Service Pack 2, there's a special patch for this problem, though it may have been installed on your system as part of an automatic Windows update. Of course, this wasn't going to do my Vista notebook any good.\n\nWhat struck me was that these very different solutions all worked for somebody, but not everybody. What ultimately worked for my laptop was doing nothing. Yesterday I booted the machine and was pleasantly surprised to see right off the bat the network icon in the system tray show the little blue bubble in the bottom-right corner indicating that the Internet was there waiting for me.\n\nSo what's the moral of the story? I guess it's that two people can experience the same problem but require different solutions. Or maybe that some problems may indeed go away if you ignore them.\n\nFor me, the moral is, \"Don't believe everything you read in tech forums.\"",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Microsoft now lets you scrap your password for Outlook, Xbox and other online services\n\nBiometrics, security keys and authenticator apps are letting tech companies try to bypass the flaws of password-based login.\n\nMicrosoft already convinced 200 million of us to enable passwordless authentication so we can get to Outlook.com, Xbox Live, OneDrive and Skype. Now it's letting those who want to do so dump the passwords altogether.\n\nOn Wednesday, the company opened up a new option to delete your password authentication. That means your sole means of logon will be using some combination of hardware security keys, biometrics like fingerprints and Windows Hello face recognition, emailed codes, and the Microsoft Authenticator app that runs on Android phones and iPhones.\n\nTo disable password authentication, go to account.microsoft.com and open Advanced Security Options. Next, go to Additional Security Options, then look for Passwordless Account. Flip the \"Turn on\" option. Microsoft says to install and set up the Microsoft Authenticator app first.\n\nAlthough convenient, deep problems are leading tech giants past passwords for authentication. Biometrics like fingerprint and face identification have helped tremendously, as has the FIDO (Fast Identity Online) standard now built into browsers and operating systems. The transition is important for anyone who wants to stave off hackers and identity thieves.\n\nOne big password problem is that we reuse them, which means one data breach can expose many accounts. But strong, unique passwords are hard to create and remember. Password managers help with that problem, but the software can be complicated even for tech experts.\n\n\"If you decide you prefer using a password, you can always add it back to your account. But I hope you'll give passwordless a try -- I don't think you'll want to go back,\" Vasu Jakkal, leader of marketing for Microsoft's security and identity work, said in a blog post.\n\nMicrosoft's post-password moves are good for the company, too. Dumping passwords means there's less data that hackers can steal in the first place.\n\nAbout 200 million Microsoft customers, both individuals and corporate users, have moved to passwordless logon, Microsoft said. That's up from about 150 million people in 2020.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Open-source group broadens its reach\n\nThe Eclipse development tools consortium gains momentum with the announcement of 13 members to its board of stewards and the introduction of three new open-source projects.\n\nSpearheaded by IBM, the Eclipse project is a community of companies building software to integrate different types of development applications. Much as a Web portal presents several applications in a single Web browser, the Eclipse software lets programmers plug in different types of development tools while retaining the same presentation. For example, a developer could write a program that draws on collaboration software and a content management system from two separate software companies without having to learn the language for the two plug-in applications.\n\nEclipse members, which now number 30, operate on under an open-source model of a common public license, in which the software is developed in a sort of communal effort rather than behind closed doors. New board members include heavyweights Hewlett-Packard, SAP and Oracle, as well as smaller companies such as AltoWeb, Parasoft, Flashline and MKS Software.\n\nThe Eclipse software is oriented primarily toward Java developers, but other languages can work within the plug-in structure. The consortium on Monday is introducing a project to add the Cobol programming language to the Eclipse software, as well as projects for collaboration and software modeling.\n\nAlthough the battles between Microsoft and backers of the Java language such as IBM, Sun Microsystems and BEA Systems gain much industry attention, there is a large community of software programmers that favor open-source tools and operating systems for building business applications. By providing an open-source alternative that combines applications tools from many tool vendors, Eclipse members aim to outflank Microsoft, renowned for its proprietary approach to applications development, and challenge its strong relationship with software developers, said Scott Hebner, director of WebSphere at IBM.\n\n\"It's no secret that one of Microsoft's biggest strength is its developer network. (Eclipse) represents another flank around them...Microsoft sees all the other players in the industry adopting not only Java, but also Linux. That makes it impossible for Microsoft to go after a single company,\" said Hebner.\n\nIn part because of IBM's powerful position in the Java community, Eclipse is enjoying an uptick in momentum, analysts said. Since its founding last year, it has garnered the support of other tool vendors, including Oracle, Sybase, Borland International, Fujitsu and Red Hat.\n\nNotable exceptions to Eclipse membership are two of IBM's largest competitors in Java development tools, BEA and Sun. Both BEA and Sun have programs designed to entice third-party tools vendors to plug in to their own development tools and are not expected to join Eclipse. Although Sun has raised the possibility of linking its own open-source development tool project, called NetBeans, to Eclipse, the two open-source projects will likely remain distinct.\n\n\"There has already been a significant investment by (Sun's) partners in their current plug-in architecture, so it doesn't really make sense for them\" to join Eclipse, said John Meyer, senior industry analyst for application development at Giga Research. \"The two can co-exist without giving any advantage to Microsoft. I expect, however, that Eclipse will continue to grow faster than NetBeans.\"",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Defending your router, and your identity, with a password change\n\nChanging the password in your router is a very important thing to do.\n\nRecently, in the techie Q&A column in the New York Times, someone asked about changing the password in their router. Due to space limitations, the answer by J. D. Biersdorfer was short, too short. This is what you need to know.\n\nEvery router, wired or wireless, has an internal website used to make configuration changes. Accessing this internal website requires a userid/password, something totally independent of any wireless network passwords.\n\nA year ago, in my prior blog, I discussed why it is so important to change the default router password (see Home routers can be dangerous. VERY dangerous). In brief, if your router is using the default password, your computer is vulnerable to an attack where the router is re-configured. Specifically, the dangerous configuration option is the DNS server. For an introduction to the concept of DNS servers, see my prior posting on OpenDNS.\n\nMalicious DNS servers can result in your visiting to a website, any website, and ending up at a phony version of the site run by bad guys. If the website is that of a bank or credit card company, and you enter a userid/password, you can kiss your identity, and money, good-bye.\n\nThere are three steps to changing the password in a router:*\n\n1. Find the router on the network\n\n2. Log in to the website built into the router\n\n3. Hunt around for the appropriate web page\nIf your router was setup by a good techie, there should be a piece of paper next to it with the IP address, userid and password. I'm sure this is rare.\n\nStep 1: Find The Router On Your Network\n\nEvery computer on a network is assigned a unique number. The most common networking protocol, TCP/IP, uses a 32 bit binary number which is written as four decimal numbers separated by periods (such as 192.168.1.1). The unique number for computers on a TCP/IP network is called an IP address.\n\nYou can find the IP address of the router in the following ways:\n\n1. The person who set it up tells you.\n\n2. If you have the manual for the router, it will have the default IP address. In my experience, the default IP address is rarely changed.\n\n3. You can download an electronic version of the manual from the website of the company that manufactured the router. Again, this will have the default IP address.\n\nOutput from the ipconfig command in Windows\n\nEthernet adapter Local Area Connection:\n\nConnection-specific DNS Suffix . : localdomain2\n\nIP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.88\n\nSubnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0\n\nDefault Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1\n4. The most reliable method is to ask the TCP/IP software running on your computer. It always knows where the router is. In Windows XP, Vista and 2000, open a command prompt window and enter the command \"ipconfig\" (see above). The IP address of the router is identified by Windows as the \"Default Gateway\".\n\nOpen your web browser and type this number into the address bar, as shown below.\n\nThis will connect you with the website that lives inside the router. This website will look and act like any other website even though, technically, it is not on the world wide web.\n\nStep 2: Find The Password\n\nBefore you can see the router configuration website, you have to provide a password and possibly a userid. Usually you can't change the userid, so I'll focus on the password. In the example below, of logging in to a Belkin router, there isn't even a userid, just a password.\n\nLogging in to a Belkin Router\n\nBelow is a screen shot of logging into a Linksys router. Note that you are instructed to leave the userid blank, and only enter a password.\n\nLogging in to a Linksys Router\n\nIf you don't now the router password, start by trying the default one. The New York Times article mentioned two websites where you can find the default userid and password for many routers (here and here). Be aware though, that the sites are neither authoritative nor comprehensive. You can also find the default userid and password in the manual for the router.\n\nIf the default password doesn't work, you are safe from malicious software changing the DNS servers. Still, it's a good idea to know the password for your router.\n\nTo change a non-default password without knowing it, requires reseting the router back to the factory default settings. There should be a small Reset button for just this purpose. You may have to unwind a paper clip to press the button and may have to hold it pressed for a few seconds. The manual should explain the procedure.\n\nStep 3: Change The Password\n\nSimply put, you'll have to do some hunting around the website to find the page for changing the password. Every router I've seen has a different interface.\n\nIn a Linksys router it may be in the Administration tab. In a Belkin router, try the System Settings. In a recent D-Link router, you changed the password in the Admin sub-section of the Tools section.\n\nRather than hunt, if you have the manual in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, try doing a find for the word \"password\". Unfortunately, routers are complicated and there are many passwords. The password to login to the router is not the PPoE password, or the PPTP password or the L2TP password. It also has nothing to do with the password for the wireless network.\n\nD-Link may add more complication. Their routers may have an admin password for logging in to the router and making changes, and, a separate user password for logging in to the router in read-only mode.\n\nAfter changing the password, you will likely get bounced out of the website and forced to login with the new password. Do so, just to be sure the new password is working. Now write down the userid and password on a piece of paper and tape it to the router. For good luck, include the IP address too.\n\nBe Angry?\n\nIf the person that setup your router did not tell you the IP address, userid and password, they are incompetent. It's like buying a new car and not being able to open the hood to get to the engine. The car will run and work fine, for a while. Maybe quite a while. But there will come a time when you need to poke around the engine and you won't be able to.\n\nIf your router was using the default userid/password then the person that set it up is worse than incompetent, they are guilty of negligence. It's not inconceivable for this to result in a lawsuit someday.\n\nUpdate. March 11, 2008: I just set up a new Belkin N Mimo router. Not only does the new model continue the tradition mentioned above of supporting only a password (no userid), the default password is no password.\n\n*Note: There may also be software for managing the router, but finding and installing the software can be a headache of its own. Also, there is no standard for how the software works.\n\nSee a summary of all my Defensive Computing postings.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\n# Is public domain software open-source?\n\nThere's no doubt that open-source software and that in the public domain are similar. But even experts differ about just how closely linked they are.\n\nWhen writing earlier this week about Adobe's sponsoring of the SQLite project, I ran into a complicated issue: is software released into the public domain also open-source software?\n\nI have an editor who hates headlines with question marks, but I'm afraid this time it's appropriate, because even experts disagree.\n\nFor background, software or other material in the public domain simply means that it's not copyrighted. Requirements to meet the official Open Source Definition are listed by the Open Source Initiative. Two programmers, Eric Raymond and Bruce Perens, founded the OSI about 10 years ago to formalize and codify the open-source idea as it branched off the free-software movement Richard Stallman founded in the 1980s, and OSI lists 68 compliant licenses.\n\nRichard Hipp, who founded the SQLite database project in 2000 as a public-domain project, believes it does qualify as open-source software.\n\n\"I've had a number of conversations on this topic with corporate lawyers for companies that are actively using SQLite. The consensus there seems to be that 'public domain' is valid and is a proper subset of 'open source'--except in France and Germany where the concept of 'public domain' is not recognized,\" he told me in an e-mail discussion prompted by the Adobe story.\n\nBut not so fast. Take the view of Mark Radcliffe, the intellectual property attorney who's general counsel to the Open Source Initiative.\n\nWhen I asked Radcliffe if public domain software was open-source, he was clear: \"No. Truly public domain software is no longer protected by copyright, thus it cannot have a license which would impose the terms necessary to comply with any of the open source licenses,\" he said.\n\nAgreeing with him is Louis Rosen, an attorney with Rosenlaw and Einschlag who previously led OSI's legal work and who still is involved. He directed me to an older but still relevant piece he wrote about why the public domain isn't a license.\n\n\"'Public domain' will never be a license. It actually means 'No license required,'\" Rosen said. \"Software that is 'dedicated to the public' or 'to the public domain' is pretty safe. I just worry a bit when people or companies give software away in such an amateurish way, without understanding that licenses or covenants are far more efficient and effective.\"\n\nWhile \"public domain\" isn't a license on OSI's official list of open-source licenses, Perens said it's not far off: \"Software that has been formally dedicated to the public domain through some sort of written statement meets the requirements of the Open Source definition only if the source code is available. Surprisingly, 'public-domain' binary-only software exists in some odd corners of the Net.\"\n\nAnd Raymond added, \"Public-domain software qualifies...The users are guaranteed all the redistribution and reuse rights that the Open Source Definition seeks to secure by the fact that there is no owner to enforce restrictions.\"\n\nMoving from the theoretical realm into the practical, though, the SQLite project appears more open-source than not. The project's source code is available without restriction, and programmers who contribute code it to it must explicitly declare their contribution is given to the public domain for perpetuity, which appears to satisfy Perens' opinions.",

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\nIntroduction\n There are several tasks that usually should be performed before releasing a non-trivial Access application. Typically, this includes removing Access objects that are no longer required, compiling, compacting and repairing the database, and making an MDE file. With Access, even after following these steps, sometimes the resulting application file is larger than what you would get, if you had created a new Access application and re-imported all your objects into the new MDB.\n This article and code provides a means to automate this process, allowing the preparation and release of an Access application to be performed as part of a batch build script. The use of daily build scripts is a common practice for development teams using other platforms such as C++ and .NET. There is no reason why this practice should not also be undertaken by teams or individuals working with Access. Suggested reading on this topic is \"Joel on Software\" by Joel Spolsky. He lists having a daily automated build process as one of his 12 things that every software shop should do.\n The code for building an Access application is incorporated into a class module called AccessApp. This class module represents an instance of a new Access application that is to be built. Methods of the class allow for:\n\n Import of Access objects from other MDB (references, menus and toolbars, import/export specifications, tables, queries, forms, reports, macros, modules, and data access pages). \n Compile application. \n Compact/repair database. \n Make MDE. \n\n Using the code\n You may use the class module methods to tailor your Access build to your needs. The downloadable files include code that demonstrates receiving build parameters as command-line arguments. The idea is to include the Access build as part of a BAT file. The process is to launch the AccessBatchBuild.mdb, passing the build parameters. The AccessBatchBuild.mdb will then execute the build steps, and on completion, terminate the Access instance, allowing the batch script to move onto any additional steps in your build sequence. A typical example of what the BAT file would contain to build the Access application is:\n \"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office11\\msaccess.exe\" \"D:\\AccessBatchBuild.mdb\" /nostartup /x AccessBatchBuild /cmd D:\\dbFrom.mdb/D:\\dbTo.mdb\n In plain English, this says: Launch MS Access; Open AccessBatchBuild.mdb; Invoke the macro AccessBatchBuild; and pass the From and To MDB locations as arguments. The outputs in this example will be two files: dbTo.mdb and dbTo.mde.\n Additionally, there is a GUI interface provided - comprising a form that allows selection of a source Access application and specification of the location to save the resultant Access application that is built. See the screen image.\n The code that performs the build creates an instance of the class and then performs the required steps. It looks like:\n Dim FromApp As Application Dim ToApp As AccessApp Set FromApp = New Access.Application FromApp.OpenCurrentDatabase FromMDBPath Set ToApp = New AccessApp ToApp.Path = ToMDBPath ToApp.NewApp ToApp.ClearReferences ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acReferences ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acTables ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acQueries ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acForms ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acReports ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acDataAccessPages ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acMacros ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acModules ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acRelationships ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acImpExpSpecs ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acCommandBars ToApp.Compile ToApp.CompactRepair ToApp.MakeMDE Set ToApp = Nothing FromApp.CloseCurrentDatabase Set FromApp = Nothing\n The purpose of each class method should be apparent.\n Points of interest\n The hardest objects to import were the menus and toolbars. This involved a bit of recursion to walk the menu tree - where a menu may contain submenus.\n The class presented here does not include error handling or logging, and perhaps such enhancements should be made. As such, if a runtime error or MDB compilation error is encountered during the build - the batch script will most likely get stuck with Access hanging - waiting for manual intervention. Feel free to add error handling and logging. In theory, the build process should not encounter errors as procedural controls should be in place such that the source objects for the build are in a state ready for release. Also, please be careful if you decide to build over the top of an existing MDB (i.e., source MDB = destination MDB).

Typically, this includes removing Access objects that are no longer required, compiling, compacting and repairing the database, and making an MDE file. With Access, even after following these steps, sometimes the resulting application file is larger than what you would get, if you had created a new Access application and re-imported all your objects into the new MDB.\n\nThis article and code provides a means to automate this process, allowing the preparation and release of an Access application to be performed as part of a batch build script. The use of daily build scripts is a common practice for development teams using other platforms such as C++ and .NET. There is no reason why this practice should not also be undertaken by teams or individuals working with Access. Suggested reading on this topic is \"Joel on Software\" by Joel Spolsky. He lists having a daily automated build process as one of his 12 things that every software shop should do.\n\nThe code for building an Access application is incorporated into a class module called `AccessApp`. This class module represents an instance of a new Access application that is to be built. Methods of the class allow for:\n\n* Import of Access objects from other MDB (references, menus and toolbars, import/export specifications, tables, queries, forms, reports, macros, modules, and data access pages).\n* Compile application.\n* Compact/repair database.\n* Make MDE.\n\n## Using the code\n\nYou may use the class module methods to tailor your Access build to your needs. The downloadable files include code that demonstrates receiving build parameters as command-line arguments. The idea is to include the Access build as part of a BAT file. The process is to launch the AccessBatchBuild.mdb, passing the build parameters. The AccessBatchBuild.mdb will then execute the build steps, and on completion, terminate the Access instance, allowing the batch script to move onto any additional steps in your build sequence. A typical example of what the BAT file would contain to build the Access application is:\n\n> \"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office11\\msaccess.exe\" \"D:\\AccessBatchBuild.mdb\" /nostartup /x AccessBatchBuild /cmd D:\\dbFrom.mdb/D:\\dbTo.mdb\n\nIn plain English, this says: Launch MS Access; Open AccessBatchBuild.mdb; Invoke the macro AccessBatchBuild; and pass the From and To MDB locations as arguments. The outputs in this example will be two files: dbTo.mdb and dbTo.mde.\n\nAdditionally, there is a GUI interface provided - comprising a form that allows selection of a source Access application and specification of the location to save the resultant Access application that is built. See the screen image.\n\nThe code that performs the build creates an instance of the class and then performs the required steps. It looks like:\n\n> Dim FromApp As Application Dim ToApp As AccessApp Set FromApp = New Access.Application FromApp.OpenCurrentDatabase FromMDBPath Set ToApp = New AccessApp ToApp.Path = ToMDBPath ToApp.NewApp ToApp.ClearReferences ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acReferences ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acTables ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acQueries ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acForms ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acReports ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acDataAccessPages ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acMacros ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acModules ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acRelationships ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acImpExpSpecs ToApp.ImportObjects FromApp, acCommandBars ToApp.Compile ToApp.CompactRepair ToApp.MakeMDE Set ToApp = Nothing FromApp.CloseCurrentDatabase Set FromApp = Nothing\n\nThe purpose of each class method should be apparent.\n\n## Points of interest\n\nThe hardest objects to import were the menus and toolbars. This involved a bit of recursion to walk the menu tree - where a menu may contain submenus.\n\nThe class presented here does not include error handling or logging, and perhaps such enhancements should be made. As such, if a runtime error or MDB compilation error is encountered during the build - the batch script will most likely get stuck with Access hanging - waiting for manual intervention. Feel free to add error handling and logging. In theory, the build process should not encounter errors as procedural controls should be in place such that the source objects for the build are in a state ready for release. Also, please be careful if you decide to build over the top of an existing MDB (i.e., source MDB = destination MDB). The class will handle this, and will create a temporary interim copy of the source MDB, in order to achieve this. But if things go horribly wrong, it is possible that you could lose your application. I suggest that you make the source MDB path different from the destination build MDB path to eliminate this risk.\n\nVarious Access settings are not retained when using the build. For example, the application Start Up settings (e.g., Form to launch at startup) are not retained. My idea is that your Access application should be setting these programmatically when the application is launched. The alternative is to enhance this build class to also carry across any settings like this that need to be retained from the source MDB.\n\nFinally, I need work - so please contact me if you have anything for me. Also, I am interested in your opinion about this. Any bugs too, of course, testing this code was the most boring part, and therefore the end product may still need a bit of polish.\n\n## History\n\nInitial submission on 14-May-2006.",

I guess it isn't precisely a bug, except under certain conditions, such as working with currency, in which precision is required.\n Math Precision\n One of the problems in the financial world is dealing with numeric precision. The double data type doesn't quite cut it, as we shall see. This presents a problem in C++ which has no decimal data type as found in C#. For example, the following C# code results in a \"true\" evaluation of n==201:\n decimal n=.3M; n-=.099M; n*=1000M; if (n==201) ... \n whereas using the double type in C++ does not:\n double n=.3; n-=.099; n*=1000; if (n==201) ... \n This is an important issue when dealing with financial math.\n The Decimal Class\n To solve this problem, I created a Decimal class. Now, I looked high and low on Code Project and Google searches for something like this, and I didn't find anything, so if I missed a contribution by another person regarding this issue, then I apologize in advance.\n class Decimal { public: static void Initialize(int precision); Decimal(void); Decimal(AutoString num); Decimal(const Decimal& d); Decimal(const __int64 n); Decimal(int intPart, int fractPart); virtual ~Decimal(void); Decimal operator+(const Decimal&); Decimal operator-(const Decimal&); Decimal operator*(const Decimal&); Decimal operator/(const Decimal&); Decimal operator +=(const Decimal&); Decimal operator -=(const Decimal&); Decimal operator *=(const Decimal&); Decimal operator /=(const Decimal&); bool operator==(const Decimal&) const; bool operator!=(const Decimal&) const; bool operator<(const Decimal&) const; bool operator<=(const Decimal&) const; bool operator>(const Decimal&) const; bool operator>=(const Decimal&) const; CString ToString(void) const; double ToDouble(void) const; protected: __int64 n; static int precision; static __int64 q; static char* pad; };\n This is a pretty basic implementation. A static Initialize method is used to set up the desired precision of the class, for all instances of Decimal. Internally, a few helper variables are initialized, which are used elsewhere for string to Decimal conversions and the multiplication and division operators:\n void Decimal::Initialize(int prec) { precision=prec; pad=new char[precision+1]; memset(pad, '0', precision); pad[precision]='\\0'; q=(__int64)pow(10.0, (double)prec); }\n A Microsoft specific 64 bit integer is used to maintain both integer and fractional components of the value, using the __int64 data type. This is a non-ANSII standard type. If you want a 96 bit integer instead, you can modify my class with PJ Naughter's 96 bit integer class found here [^].\r\n\n String To __int64 Conversion\n Decimal::Decimal(AutoString num) { AutoString intPart=num.LeftEx('.'); AutoString fractPart=num.RightEx('.'); fractPart+=&pad[strlen(fractPart)]; n=atoi(intPart); n*=q; n+=atoi(fractPart); }\n The conversion from a string to a 64 bit integer is interesting to look at as it reveals the internal workings of the class. First, the integer part and fractional parts are separated from the number. The AutoString class is a CString derived class and provides a bit nicer interface for these kind of things.\n For example, given \"123.456\":\n AutoString intPart=num.LeftEx('.'); AutoString fractPart=num.RightEx('.');\n intPart=\"123\" fractPart=\"456\"\n Now let's say you've initialized the class with a precision of 4 digits past the decimal point. This creates a pad string of \"0000\" in the initialization function, which is used to determine how many zeros to append to the fractional string. In code:\n fractPart+=&pad[strlen(fractPart)];\n fractPart is appended with a single \"0\" and becomes \"4560\".\n Finally, the two components, the integer and fractional components, are combined by shifting (base 10) the integer component left by the fractional precision and adding the fractional component:\n n=atoi(intPart); n*=q; n+=atoi(fractPart);\n The result is a single integer which maintains both integer and fractional components. Because all Decimal \"numbers\" are normalized in this way, the four basic operations (+, -, *, /) are trivial to implement.\n __int64 To String Conversion\n CString Decimal::ToString(void) const { char s[64]; __int64 n2=n/q; int fract=(int)(n-n2*q); sprintf(s, \"%d.%0*d\", (int)n2, precision, fract); return s; }\n Again, this code reveals the internal workings of the Decimal class. The 64 bit value is shifted right (base 10) by the precision and the integer component is extracted:\n __int64 n2=n/q;\n The fractional component is extracted by shifting left the integer component and subtracting from the original value:\n int fract=(int)(n-n2*q);\n And finally the string is constructed. Note the use of the * directive which tells the printf routine to determine the precision of the integer from the variable list:\n sprintf(s, \"%d.%0*d\", (int)n2, precision, fract);\n Usage\n Decimal::Initialize(4); double n=.3; n-=.099; n*=1000; printf(\"n=%.04lf (int)n=%d\\r\\n\", n, (int)n); printf(\"n == 201 ? %s\\r\\n\", n==201 ? \"yes\" : \"no\"); printf(\"n >= 201 ? %s\\r\\n\", n>=201 ? \"yes\" : \"no\"); Decimal dec(\".3\"); dec-=Decimal(\".099\"); dec*=Decimal(\"1000\"); printf(\"dec=%s\\r\\n\", dec.ToString()); printf(\"dec == 201 ? %s\\r\\n\", dec==Decimal(\"201\") ? \"yes\" : \"no\"); printf(\"dec >= 201 ? %s\\r\\n\", dec>=Decimal(\"201\") ? \"yes\" : \"no\");\n The above is an example usage and produces the following output:\n Because the __int64 type is composed from two int types (and decomposed into int types when converted back to a string), it is limited in range to the same values as a signed four byte number, +/- 2^31, or +/-2,147,483,648.\n Also, this code is not \"internationalized\".\n References:\n\n## Introduction\n\nIn my last article[^], I eluded to the fact that there was another bug hiding in my code.

And if you’ve played the game, you might have also noticed some ads that occasionally appear in my ad-stream that aren’t pubCenter ads (the ones with a highlighted graphic on the left and text on the right). Those are my “House Ads” which are built-in to fill the gaps when pubCenter can’t send ads to my game (can’t connect to pubCenter, no ad publishers bidding on my ad space, and other pubCenter errors). I use the House Ads to cross-sell my $1.99 “Ener-Jewels!” game, show ImproviSoft’s Contests to Win an XBOX 360 with Kinect and some Cool Games, and also to show affiliate marketing ads for products on Amazon and other websites.Today I submitted version 1.6 of “Ener-Jewels TGIF!” to Microsoft for testing and expect it to be published sometime next week. This version makes the Burst game a lot more fun to play (in my opinion) and also integrates two more ad networks – Smaato and AdDuplex. So now my game uses two ad networks (pubCenter & Smaato) that pay per impression, one ad-sharing network (AdDuplex) where you display ads for other apps that will in-turn display your ads, and my house ad network that only pays off when a click-through purchase occurs. Why so many? To get world-wide ad coverage (pubCenter currently only shows ads on U.S. phones) and to maximize the ad-space by gap-filling whenever the primary ad network can’t display an ad. Of course doing that takes a lot of ad-network management and that’s not easy because all of these networks have very different APIs. Some trigger events, some use polling, and one is completely autonomous. This past month I’ve been working on an “ad network management framework” that handles all of those differences and practically guarantees 100% ad-space coverage (even when there is no Internet connection!).Why did I choose pubCenter, Smaato, and AdDuplex? With XNA games you don’t have a lot of ad-network choices. While there are various ad networks for Silverlight apps, I only know of 4 publicly available ad networks for XNA games at this time: pubCenter, Smaato, AdDuplex (in Beta), and MillennialMedia. Apparently Mobclix has one in Beta, but I requested it twice over the past month and still haven’t received it. MobFox said “not yet, but soon” – whatever that means. And AdMob, AldarIT, and ZestADZ are Silverlight-only! Even the companies with XNA ad components released them after the Silverlight controls had been out for a while. Likewise, there are a few Silverlight “ad network management” components available, but none for XNA (mine is the 1st one that I am aware of). Here’s an overview of what I learned while evaluating and integrating these XNA ad-network SDKs in April:Millennial Media SDK (version 1.0) – My Rating: 0/5 JewelsWhen I first downloaded the Millennial Media SDK, I thought it had a lot of promise. This company has a good website and SDKs for 10 platforms including well-known 4.2.X versions for Android and iPhone. But it didn’t take long to realize that there is little delivery on that promise right now with the current Windows Phone version of the SDK. The API seems highly customizable, but by only running the demo app for a while, I soon found this SDK is just simply unstable! After a while, the demo app started acting badly – the shutter animation on the ads was in a closed position 99% of the time, completely obscuring the ads. Then the demo app froze. Not good! This is only a 1.0 product and based on what I saw, it’s not even Beta quality. There’s no way I’m going to use it in any product of mine until it gets fixed, and I recommend that you don’t either. AdDuplex SDK (version 1.1 Beta) – My Rating: 3/5 JewelsAdDuplex is a very simple SDK with minimal documentation and a minimal API. It’s too minimal for my taste, but it’s admittedly only in beta, and I like it none-the-less.The whole ad-sharing idea is great for the platform and an excellent way to advertise if you don’t have a lot of money (or any money) to spend on website advertising. What’s there does work, but the SDK needs some important improvements: AdDuplex ads aren’t pretty – white text on a black background with somewhat awkward text animation. Even my static text-based house ads look much better than these, not to mention my graphics-based house ads. There are no specified events or exceptions to handle – and I wish there were. Your code has no way to know when AdDuplex can’t acquire an ad because of this. But the AdDuplex component knows – and it displays it’s own advertisement on your app when this happens (where you could be displaying another money-paying ad-network). You can specify ad-requests every some number of seconds, but AdDuplex always overrides this value with 60 (although this isn’t documented anywhere). The SDK documentation is pretty much non-existent, but there’s really not much functionality to talk about. You can get the whole feel for the SDK by looking at the demo app source code. The AdManager has no Visible or Enabled properties. This is a problem because once AdDuplex is started, it becomes enabled and automatically handles input – even if it’s not the visible ad network! I have worked around this problem by wrapping it in a class with an Enabled property. I also reported this problem to AdDuplex and was insured that these properties will be coming next week (hope so!). Integrating AdDuplex is a great way to get “free” advertising for your game. It’s not exactly free, because while you’re displaying AdDuplex ads, you’re not getting paid, but hopefully the exposure you get from AdDuplex will more than offset the lost revenue. And if you display AdDuplex ads when your paid-per-impression ad-network errors-out, then you’re winning! I don’t see using it as your primary ad-network, but it’s a good gap-filler. Smaato SDK (1.2) – My Rating: 2/5 JewelsSmaato serves ads to over 220 countries and there is currently no other functional ad-network for WP7 XNA games that serves ads outside the USA. So please remember that, because if there was – Smaato would not-oh be in my framework-oh. Smaato is another ad network that has no Visible or Enabled properties. There’s a GetAds() function, but no “Stop Getting Ads” command (no Enabled = false;), and it really needs one. Once you call GetAds() you get ad-acquired & error events until you dispose of the AdManager object. So when you have a another ad-network running at the moment, you actually need to kill Smaato to get it to stop communicating with its server. It would be much better to just be able to set Enabled to false. And killing Smaato means that whenever you want to go back to Smaato, you need to set up the ad-network all over again. Hmmm.This SDK has the ugliest ad-network API that I’ve seen for Windows Phone. The “NewAdAcquired” event indicates when you have acquired a new ad. Unfortunately it also is fired when Smaato can’t acquire a new ad or anytime Smaato generates any kind of error. Seems like there should be a different event for errors. And almost every non-numeric SDK field is a string – there’s not an enum in sight. Error codes are integers -for example, error code 42 means “no ad available”. The SDK documentation even has some error code numbers that are described as “if you get this error code, please tell us”. And you need to switch your own ads, get textures from streams, and dispose of old ads yourself – instead of the component doing this for you. There is an intermittent app-slowdown at times too, which may be because the manual ad-switching code isn’t being done in its own thread. Simply a poor API -requiring a lot of work by the integrator to get it right.The Smaato website isn’t that good either. Smaato’s developer website is slow, sometimes taking around 10 seconds before responding (and I have blazing-fast Internet service). There is no concept of ad-units or filters like pubCenter has, so you get whatever ad Smaato sends you (even some that aren’t exactly “Rated G”). There are some interesting fields in the AdManager – giving you the ability to specify keywords associated with your app (that perhaps affects which ads you are sent), but there is no description of how it’s used by Smaato. Disappointing.There’s a lot to complain about, but it actually seems to work once you get it set up “as best as you can”. But did I mention that it serves ads to over 220 countries, Millennial Media is unstable, pubCenter only serves ads to the U.S. phones currently, and there’s no other option? That makes Smaato a must have for advertising in XNA games – until something better comes along. I’m hoping Smaato fixes these problems, but if not, I really hope AdMob puts out an XNA SDK soon. Microsoft Advertising pubCenter SDK (5.1.0.166) – My Rating: 3.5 of 5 Jewels Despite all of my previous posts about issues that I’ve had with pubCenter (I’ve noted 70+ issues in problem reports that I’ve submitted against the SDK’s code and documentation), it’s still the best ad network for displaying ads on U.S. based Windows Phones – period. It’s not impressive like iAd rich media ads (for iPhone), but it works and has the best thought-out Ad API for Windows Phone. There are definitely some quirks in the API, issues with pubCenter, problems with ad-links and how ads are displayed, but overall it works, serves Rated-G ads only, and has a decent fill rate for many ad categories. pubCenter allows you to set up ad-units that get you category-specific ads. And you can use as many ad-units in your game as you wish, placing them where-ever, and rotating them whenever you want. You can provide location data to get local ads. You can also filter out ad URLs that you don’t want provided at the server. There are a few key limitations with the Microsoft Ad solution right now though:Microsoft is officially only serving ads to U.S. based phones, although we have heard rumors that UK phones may be getting beta ads. Just about everywhere else, if you’re only using pubCenter ads, your users are seeing a blank space where your ads should be (and therefore, you aren’t getting any ad revenue from them). There aren’t as many advertisers as I’d like to see, so many ads get repeated over and over again. Fewer ad-space bidders means lower eCPM. Other than location, the API’s demographic data is not currently used by pubCenter to serve more user-relevant ads (apparently this will change “soon”) Ads received can be text or graphical, but not rich-media capable, and may not be the size you requested. I’m really hoping that Microsoft quickly expands ad-serving to other countries soon. pubCenter Support also told me that all of the issues I reported will be addressed in the next release (just wish I knew when that would be!). Looking forward to that release, but until then it’s still very usable. I like this platform and their online support people are very responsive. So here’s what I’m doing in my “Ener-Jewels TGIF!” ad network manager:For U.S. based phones my primary network is pubCenter, with failovers to Smaato and then my House Ads. I inject an AdDuplex or Affiliate Marketing (House) ad every few minutes, and also use them to gapfill whenever there is a hopefully-recoverable error with the current ad-network. House Ads are displayed whenever there is no Internet connectivity in order to get users familiar with them. If a failover network is currently visible, every few minutes the framework checks whether the primary ad-network is now available, and switches to it if possible. For non U.S. phones, it’s basically the same, but without pubCenter in the mix.UPDATES:[5/4/2011 Update]: Millennial Media contacted me yesterday and we had a conference call today. I explained the multiple problems that I experienced with their “AdView” XNA ad manager and provided them with a few ideas for improving AdView’s API. They were very receptive to my feedback and assured me that they are going to address these issues as quickly as possible. I have agreed to verify that the problems are resolved after they have updated the AdView component. I am looking forward to those changes and integrating Millennial Media’s AdView component when it’s ready.[5/5/2011 Update]: I have tried twice to contact Smaato (via email and their Contact Us webpage) about these issues, but no reply so far. Will try Twitter next.[5/6/2011 Update]: Alan Mendelevich from AdDuplex sent me a preview of his v1.2 component update that will be available publicly in a few days. This version adds Enabled and Visible properties to the component. Thanks for the quick turnaround on this, Alan! I will be using it in “Ener-Jewels TGIF!” v1.8 which should be released next week. Sent Alan additional feedback – software design ideas.[5/12/2011 Update]: Responded to Millennial Media’s request for additional feedback today on event handlers & Internet connectivity scenarios.[5/13/2011 Update]: Skype conference call today with Smaato in Germany and their SDK developer in California went well. I explained the issues above, made suggestions for addressing them, and agreed to provide feedback on the SDK changes prior to release. They’re already working on some SDK improvements. With today’s topics, it seems there’s a lot of work to do though. Hopefully they can redesign it quickly.[5/13/2011 Update]: Requested status from Mobclix on their WP7 XNA Beta SDK because I still haven’t received it. Also noted MobFox is still Silverlight-only.[5/17/2011 Update]: Reviewed Millennial Media’s latest unreleased build of their XNA SDK and sent them detailed feedback about problems that it continues to have.[5/26/2011 Update]: Smaato makes main-thread blocking calls to iso-storage, which will cause frame-rate glitches in your game. I’m reimplementing their sample code now to use a background thread to reduce the glitch, but Smaato really needs to redesign the SDK to not use iso-storage for ad textures.[6/5/2011 Update]: AdDuplex now has a way to monetize your apps by selling a fraction of your ad inventory and getting paid via PayPal. Nice![6/29/2011 Update]: Microsoft has updated the pubCenter Ad SDK! I plan to a new article about it within the next few weeks.[7/6/2011 Update]: Unfortunately, still no new Smaato or Millennial Media SDKs to report. I don’t know why it’s taking so long to update them, other than that they have a lot of problems to fix. Despite the rating above, I have found Smaato to be a disappointment – 1% of the CPM that I’m getting from Microsoft pubCenter (so it might not be worth the trouble!). Anybody getting better results?CodeProject\n\nIf you’ve been following my blog, you know that I was busy integrating Microsoft pubCenter ads into my free “Ener-Jewels TGIF!” game over the past few months. And if you’ve played the game, you might have also noticed some ads that occasionally appear in my ad-stream that aren’t pubCenter ads (the ones with a highlighted graphic on the left and text on the right). Those are my “House Ads” which are built-in to fill the gaps when pubCenter can’t send ads to my game (can’t connect to pubCenter, no ad publishers bidding on my ad space, and other pubCenter errors). I use the House Ads to cross-sell my $1.99 “Ener-Jewels!” game, show ImproviSoft’s Contests to Win an XBOX 360 with Kinect and some Cool Games, and also to show affiliate marketing ads for products on Amazon and other websites.\n\nToday I submitted version 1.6 of “Ener-Jewels TGIF!” to Microsoft for testing and expect it to be published sometime next week.

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\nIntroduction\n I am going to share with you some tips on how to display the images captured by Blackmagic in a DirectX environment.\n Creating the Texture\n First thing is trying to use IDeckLinkDX9ScreenPreviewHelper interface which does everything for you. The problem with this class is that you don't have a texture in your hand so you can place it wherever you want. Anyway if you want to use this class, you will notice that it will mess up the whole scene. The trick is to have it surrounded by Sprite::Being Sprite::End. Example:\n m_device->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &matrix); m_sprite->Begin(D3DXSPRITE_OBJECTSPACE | D3DXSPRITE_ALPHABLEND); helper->Render(NULL); m_sprite->End();\n In my case, I wanted to have a full control of the texture, and have the smallest latency possible, which I guess all developers want.\n The basic idea is to use the format D3DFMT_UYVY which is supported by DirectX, at least in my case, where I have an NVIDIA QUADO 600. That means that I only process the format bmdFormat8BitYUV.\n If you want to tell the driver to use this, you can specify it in a parameter IDeckLinkInput::EnableVideoInput function. Example:\n HRESULT MFDeckLinkImpl::VideoInputFormatChanged ( BMDVideoInputFormatChangedEvents notificationEvents, IDeckLinkDisplayMode *newMode, BMDDetectedVideoInputFormatFlags detectedSignalFlags) { Error* error = NULL; HRC(m_deckLinkInput->StopStreams()); HRC(m_deckLinkInput->EnableVideoInput (newMode->GetDisplayMode(), bmdFormat8BitYUV, bmdVideoInputEnableFormatDetection)); HRC(m_deckLinkInput->StartStreams()); } done: if (error) return error->Hr; return S_OK; } \n This way, you will force all the frames received to be in 8 bit YUV.

What I did instead, I have made a copy of the bytes received from \"theFrame\", that is on the DrawFrame thread, then I use the byte array and stretch the image and texture before drawing it on the scene thread.\n Hope this helps you to get the best performance when using DirectX and Blackmagic card.\n\n## Introduction\n\nI am going to share with you some tips on how to display the images captured by Blackmagic in a DirectX environment.\n\n## Creating the Texture\n\nFirst thing is trying to use `IDeckLinkDX9ScreenPreviewHelper` interface which does everything for you. The problem with this class is that you don't have a texture in your hand so you can place it wherever you want. Anyway if you want to use this class, you will notice that it will mess up the whole scene. The trick is to have it surrounded by `Sprite::Being Sprite::End`. Example:> m_device->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &matrix); m_sprite->Begin(D3DXSPRITE_OBJECTSPACE | D3DXSPRITE_ALPHABLEND); helper->Render(NULL); m_sprite->End();\n\nIn my case, I wanted to have a full control of the texture, and have the smallest latency possible, which I guess all developers want.\n\nThe basic idea is to use the format `D3DFMT_UYVY` which is supported by DirectX, at least in my case, where I have an NVIDIA QUADO 600. That means that I only process the format `bmdFormat8BitYUV`.If you want to tell the driver to use this, you can specify it in a parameter `IDeckLinkInput::EnableVideoInput` function. Example:> HRESULT MFDeckLinkImpl::VideoInputFormatChanged ( BMDVideoInputFormatChangedEvents notificationEvents, IDeckLinkDisplayMode *newMode, BMDDetectedVideoInputFormatFlags detectedSignalFlags) { Error* error = NULL; HRC(m_deckLinkInput->StopStreams()); HRC(m_deckLinkInput->EnableVideoInput (newMode->GetDisplayMode(), bmdFormat8BitYUV, bmdVideoInputEnableFormatDetection)); HRC(m_deckLinkInput->StartStreams()); } done: if (error) return error->Hr; return S_OK; }\n\nThis way, you will force all the frames received to be in 8 bit YUV. For SDI, you will notice that it doesn't work, but changing one settings will do the work. Go to \"Blackmagic Desktop Video Setup\" conversion, and choose SD->HD and Anamorphic transformation. This way, the frames will be well formatted with 8 bit YUV data.\n\nNext, we need to have the 8-bit YUV image transformed into a texture. The way I did it is to create an offline surface:\n\n> m_device->CreateOffscreenPlainSurface(_width, _height, D3DFMT_UYVY, D3DPOOL_DEFAULT, &m_surface, NULL);\nand whenever you received a frame in `DrawFrame` callback method, just fill in the `surface` with data from \" `theFrame` \".> m_surface->LockRect(&rect, 0, D3DLOCK_DISCARD); memcpy(rect.pBits, _buffer, _bufferSize); m_surface->UnlockRect();\n `_buffer` is coming from `theFrame` -> `GetBytes();` `_bufferSize` is `width * height * 2` in case of 8-bit YUV;You need to stretch the `surface` into a texture with RGB format, so you create the texture:> m_device->CreateTexture(_width, _height, 1, D3DUSAGE_RENDERTARGET, D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8, D3DPOOL_DEFAULT, &m_texture, NULL);\nthen copy the `surface` :> IDirect3DSurface9* surface; m_texture->GetSurfaceLevel(0, &surface); HRESULT hr = m_device->StretchRect(m_surface, NULL, surface, NULL, D3DTEXF_NONE); surface->Release();\n\nNow you have the texture and you can do everything that you want with it :).\n\n## Consideration\n\nYou should be careful how you design the app, usually the `DrawFrame` runs on a different thread than your DirectX scene, and if you use the transformation above in the `DrawFrame` thread, `LockRect` and `StrechRect` will cause delay. What I did instead, I have made a copy of the bytes received from \" `theFrame` \", that is on the `DrawFrame` thread, then I use the byte array and stretch the image and texture before drawing it on the scene thread.\nHope this helps you to get the best performance when using DirectX and Blackmagic card.",

We can use existing SQL Server (which ASP.NET Reports already works with) or any other database like MySQL, PostgreSQL and so on.My ChoiceAmong the 4 choices I decided to go ahead with Grasshopper. Although Mono is a very good too.Reports starter kit is proven to work with SQL Server, I didn't want to fix it when it is not broken. I simply choose to use Hosted SQL Server instead of migrating to MySQL, PostgreSQL and so on.Grasshopper SetupDownload and install Grasshopper from http://dev.mainsoft.com/Default.aspx?tabid=28. Tomcat is installed as part of Grasshopper installation.Download and install 'Directory Services' and 'Drawing' Beta components files from http://dev.mainsoft.com/Default.aspx?tabid=28. Don't forget to updated the Grasshopper runtime with the System.DirectoryServices modules. Though they are Beta, they worked quite well for me. Doing so will save some time GOOGLING for errors during build. Though Directory Services is not required for this project it might be required for future project, so you might consider downloading it.Reports Starter Kits SetupDownload and install ASP.NET Reports Starter Kit from http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=8&tabid=47. Go with default options which installing the Reports Starter KitOur Windows to Linux PortStart Tomcat (Go to Start-->All Programs-->Visual MainWin for the J2EE(TM) platform and click Start Tomcat).Open Reports Starter Kit Visual Studio Solution (Go to Start-->All Programs-->ASP.NET Starter Kits-->ASP.NET Reports (CSVS) click ASP.NET Reports Starter Kit (CSVS).sln).Right click the ReportsCSVS project and hit 'Generate J2EE project'. A wizard will be open, follow the below steps... Hit Next button.Check 'Save a copy of the original solution file' and hit Finish button.Grasshopper takes couple of minutes, let it finish.A New Project (ReportsCSVS.J2EE) will be added to the current solution. Right Click ReportsCSVS.J2EE Project and hit Build, wait until the Java conversion completes (takes a minute or two). Now you might have noticed some warnings, there will be some little issues which we will be discussing below. Once we fix them all we will rebuild the solution to get the application working.Challenges (I like to call issues)We will address the issues that occur during the Windows to Linux porting process. Practically we discover and solve all the issues during build and testing time. For this project the easiest issues are build time errors or warning. Fortunately, there are no build time errors, but we have 3 warnings here. warning JC8000: Not Implemented Element 'customErrors' warning JC8000: Not Implemented Element 'sessionState' warning JC8000: Not Implemented Element 'pages' All these warnings are from web.config file and are due to the fact customErrors, sessionState and pages are unsupported elements. The solution is to comment them out in web.config. Now it all seems to have compiled successfully and when I run the application I see the error 'JDBC' error. My connection string was like below... The problem seems to be that my starter kit installation was using 'localhost' for server in web.config's ConnectionString's property. I had to change it to 'HOME' (my home PC). Then I discovered that it had troubles connecting using 'Trusted connection', as my SQL Server didn't give any permission. I changed the connection string to use username/password instead of Trusted connection as below... Issues #2 fixed. Note: It looks like we have to rebuild whenever we change the connectionString in web.config, otherwise the application is not picking it up. Everything seem to be working nicely, I ran the application and started testing every report. Boom, the Visual.aspx was not showing the Pie or Bar charts properly, they had blank images there. I started debugging the application (please go through http://dev.mainsoft.com/Default.aspx?tabid=32&src=ww_DebuggingProjects.html to setup and start debugging) and found that there was a condition and the ChartGenerator.aspx page will display the bar/pie chart only if the condition is satisfied. When I looked closed at the condition in ChartGenerator.aspx, it was trying to display the chart to only users that come from the our ReportsCSVS site as shown below.if (Request.UrlReferrer != null &&((Request.UrlReferrer.Host.ToLower() == Environment.UserDomainName.ToLower()) || Request.UrlReferrer.Host.ToLower() == \"localhost\")) I realised that there was actually a 4th warning which I didn't notice earlier; it says... Not Implemented Property system.Environment.UserDomainName I implemented this condition to use Request.Url.Host instead of Environment.UserDomainName property and rebuilt the solution. All reports seem to be working very fine. After going through all of them I found one more issue. It is a little thing, the image in Simple Report Overview was missing. At first I though it might be some Charting error again. But, it turned out that it was a HTML page (Simple.htm) which was using an image. This image was missing when I view it in the browser (IE 6). When I looked at the img tag, I couldn't sport the error, when I rewrote the line myself I found that the image extension of 'SimpleOverview' image was '.PNG' instead of '.png' in Docs/Simple.htm file, which actually caused the culprit. Renaming it to '.png' fixed the problem. It probably looked like Tomcat was case sensitive. Package and DeployRight click the ReportsCSVS.J2EE project and click 'Deployment Packager', grasshopper will create a WAR file (J2EE deployment file). Due to size limitations i didn't choose the 'Create self-contained package, which includes the whole Visual MainWin framework' (13MB) option. Choose the options as shown in the image below... My project has two WAR files (ASPNET.StarterKit.Reports.war and ReportsCSVS.J2EE.war) and a ReportsCSVS.J2EE.deployWar file, in the bin_Java folder. Tomcat management console can be used to upload & deploy the WAR file to install the application. Based on Application Server your project is associated with Grasshopper can deploy the application itself. I can view my application in IIS at http://localhost/ReportsCSVS/Default.aspx and in Tomcat at http://localhost:8080/ReportsCSVS/Default.aspx.\n\n## Introduction\n\nThe scenario is to port one of the ASP.NET starter kits from Windows to Linux using cross-platform of choice (like Grasshopper, Mono, PHP, Macromedia and so on).

So, sometimes, I’m sorry, but sh*t happens and uncaught exceptions occur and they fly freely until they reach the top of the execution stack, thus crushing your program. Global exceptions handling exists in order to react somehow to such horrible cases. There is a bunch of events which fire up when an unhandled exception occurs. Let’s consider what events can help us. The most useful events as we already mentioned are:\n\n Dispatcher.UnhandledException\n\n Application.DispatcherUnhandledException\n\n AppDomain.UnhandledException\n\n TaskScheduler.UnobservedTaskException\n\n Exception on a Dispatcher Thread\n The difference between the first two events is a little bit slick. The second one catches exceptions from the main UI dispatcher thread, while the first one catches exceptions from a specific UI dispatcher thread. Usually, they are the same, because in 99% of the cases, WPF application has only one UI-thread and because of that, both the events catch exceptions from the same thread, from the main UI thread. The thing is that WPF is not restricted to have only one UI thread. You can create another UI thread with a corresponding Dispatcher. And in that case, you will have to attach your handler to the UnhandledException event of the first dispatcher and the second dispatcher. Chances that you will never face such a situation in your entire life are very high. So, generally speaking, you are free to attach handlers to any of these events.\n Exception on a Worker Thread\n An exception might be thrown from any worker thread in your application. In general, you can spawn the worker thread either by using Thread class directly or the modern API of Tasks. And regarding global exceptions handling, these cases are different. If an exception was thrown from a task, it can be caught only in the TaskScheduler.UnobservedTaskException. On the contrary, if an exception was thrown from any other thread, except the UI-thread and threads spawned by Tasks, it can be caught only in the AppDomain.UnhandledException event.\n You can’t actually handle the exception in the AppDomain.UnhandledException event. You can just log it. If you want your application to stay alive, you need to add a directive in the configuration file of your application:\n =\"1.0\" =\"utf-8\" \n Since the release of .NET 4.5, UnobservedTaskException does not kill the application. If you want to get back the old behavior, you should add the following directive in the configuration file:\n =\"1.0\" =\"utf-8\" \n By the way, exceptions occurred within Tasks will not be thrown until corresponding tasks are not collected by the GC.\n Thank you for visiting my blog.

Usually, they are the same, because in 99% of the cases, WPF application has only one UI-thread and because of that, both the events catch exceptions from the same thread, from the main UI thread. The thing is that WPF is not restricted to have only one UI thread. You can create another UI thread with a corresponding Dispatcher. And in that case, you will have to attach your handler to the `UnhandledException` event of the first dispatcher and the second dispatcher. Chances that you will never face such a situation in your entire life are very high. So, generally speaking, you are free to attach handlers to any of these events.\n\n## Exception on a Worker Thread\n\nAn exception might be thrown from any worker thread in your application. In general, you can spawn the worker thread either by using `Thread` class directly or the modern API of Tasks. And regarding global exceptions handling, these cases are different. If an exception was thrown from a task, it can be caught only in the `TaskScheduler.UnobservedTaskException`. On the contrary, if an exception was thrown from any other thread, except the UI-thread and threads spawned by Tasks, it can be caught only in the `AppDomain.UnhandledException` event.You can’t actually handle the exception in the `AppDomain.UnhandledException` event. You can just log it. If you want your application to stay alive, you need to add a directive in the configuration file of your application:> =\"1.0\" =\"utf-8\" \nSince the release of .NET 4.5, `UnobservedTaskException` does not kill the application. If you want to get back the old behavior, you should add the following directive in the configuration file:> =\"1.0\" =\"utf-8\" \n\nBy the way, exceptions occurred within Tasks will not be thrown until corresponding tasks are not collected by the GC.\n\nThank you for visiting my blog.

This article is a pictorial step by step help to create WCF application.\n WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) is a part of .NET 3.0. So you need to install Visual Studio 2008 to use WCF.\n It is platform for SOA. WCF provides a way to create loosely coupled application.\n WCF is intended to provide services that are distributed and interoperable.\n It unifies ASMX and .NET Remoting, MSMQ and can be easily extended to support new protocol.\n When we create a Service, to expose the functionality to the world, it needs to be hosted into Host Process. Service Host will be used to expose the end point of the service to other Service or Clients.\n Let’s start with the steps...\n We will start with VS 2008. Create a File -> New Project -> WCF ->WCFClassLibrary project as shown below \n Select WCF in left panel and WCF Service Library in the right panel.\n Give appropriate name in the Name Box. Click Ok.\n The Project will contain a sample Service1.cs & IService.cs files. Delete it. So that we can add our own service and understand the things in better way.\n Right click on MathsLibrary -> Add -> New Item -> Select Class1.cs. \n Rename it to MathsOperations.cs\n This will create a simple class file. Open the file. Make the class public. \n Similary add one more class IMathsOperations.cs, which will be an interface, which will provide a list of what all operations a WCF service will perform.\n Open IMathsOperations.cs and change it to public interface IMathsOperations\n And add the below code to it..\n To make IMathsOperations as WCF Service Contract, add an attribute [ServiceContract]to it.\n Also what all operation you want to make visible to client should be decorated with [OperationContract].\n [ServiceContract] and [OperationContract]are included in System.ServiceModel namespace.\n Now once decided with the contract, we can implement this interface into our srevice as below\n Build the project once you are done up to this.\n Let us add app.config to Host solution. \n App.config contains endpoint details, which includes ABC (Address, Binding and Contract)\n Address is the Address WHERE the service can be found.\n Binding the HOW to access the service\n Contract is WHAT the service contains.\n Now let’s modify App.config. Right click on App.config, click on Edit WCF Configuration\n Below popup should appear\n Select the Service1 from left panel, following window should show up\n Click on ellipses button and go the path where the MathsLibrary.dll exists.\n Click on it, it will give you the name of the service it contains. \n Similarly go to Endpoints, and select proper contract with same steps as above. \n Also we can change the binding to be used as below…\n Select Host on left hand side and it will show you base address, edit the base address to whatever you want..\n Once this is done. Build the project.\n VS 2008 provides you the way to host the service. We can also host it in console application or Windows Service or IIS.\n We will learn those in next parts. Here we will use the host provided by VS 2008.\n Now let’s create a client application. Add console application (Or any other project type) project in same solution or different solution.\n Add service reference to the MathsService that we have created. It will automatically load all necessary dlls. \n Then with the below code we can give a call to the service..\n This will give you below output\n In the next sub-sections we will see how to host this service in IIS, Windows services, Console applications etc.\n\n## Basic WCF Service Creation in C#.Net => Part1\n\nHello all, this is the start up guide to create WCF service.

You can use that class as per standard dialog of windows except you need to draw user interface using HTML. Many message maps shall map to elements in HTML. As per standard windows UI, there are some problems for user input , as it still exists in HTML UI.

In HTML, there are not any controls to do that (see How to operate controls in HTML file using C++). In order to complete this task , we need several input controls . The main thing to deal with is to get a date and validate if this date is OK. \n Date can be divided into 3 kinds of information , Date + time , time only and Date only. When we deal with the date , we can deem it as 2 conditions, where first 2 are incorporated. In HTML , we use a custom attribute of HTML element to define which control is in the group of date or time. For example:\n Year month day \n In this code segment of HTML , �i_now_pre_pro_year\" , �i_new_pre_pro_month� and �i_new_pre_pro_day� is composed of a date input. For each INPUT tag, we set an attribute �mydate� with the same name to indicate that these 3 controls are in a date group. Same as date , all controls with time has an attributed nomenclated as �mytime�. As conclusion, to process date and time, we are using �mydate� or �mytime� attributes with same name to group control as one control in HTML. \n How to process radio button\n In standard windows UI , radio buttons have one variable for a group, which start with a radio button with group property checked, other radios are consecutive number for their control ID. In HTML there will be no group property explicitly. All radios in a radio group has the same �name � attribute value. We have to obey the rules of HTML . For our control group , we assume that a radio group has same name attribute value and the id of radios are different. But the all radio in same group is ended with 2 digit. So , please don�t nomenclate your radio id ended with digit.\n The following is an example code segment of HTML\n \n For a radio group , there will be another problem to process. As default of CdhtmlDialog in Visual Studio .NET, it will return a zero based index number for each checked radio. In a real application, each item my be a meaning full number for a radio. There will be a map from this index to useful number.\n Implementation\n To implement this control group, we wrote 4 classes.\n\n CDhtml_Control\n\n to define a general control information and variable information.

This control group is also can be initialized by both file and manually ( hard code). The file format is same as CXMLResult. You may find it from my last article about control groups for standard windows UI.\n How to use these classes\n To use these classes, follow the following steps:\n\n Step 1: Create a HTML file you want to be user interface, the Id and name of each element is nomenclated according to your demand. \n Step 2: Write an XML file with the HTML file you are just wrote. \n Step 3: Add following variables in your declaration of CdhtmlDialog derived class CXMLDict *m_pDict; CDhtmlControlGroup *m_cntGroup; \n Step 4: In construction of CDhtmlDialog derived classes, add the following lines m_pDict = NULL; m_cntControl.InitFromFile(theApp.m_Path+_T(�\\\\mytext.xml�)); \n Step5: In InitDialog add the following line make the dialog display a scroll control in case of the HTML can not displayed fully in dialog. SetHostFlags(DOCHOSTUIFLAG_NO3DBORDER); \n Step 6: In DoDataExchange function of derived class , add the following line to support the data exchange of both direction. m_cntGroup.DoDataExchange (pDX); \n Step 7: Rewrite the OnNavigateComplete of CDhtmlDialog , add the following for date/time processing and radio button group processing m_cntGroup.GetAllDateTime( m_spHtmlDoc); m_cntGroup.GetAllRadios (m_spHtmlDoc); where m_spHtmlDoc is member variable of CDhtmlDialog, you can use it directly.\n Step 8: In you data commit function according your code, add the following line , you can get the input result from user interface in CXMLCmd format.

Occasionally it happens that you receive compile errors in your *.aspx.designer.cs or *.aspx.designer.vb files in your project and it seems that there’s virtually nothing you can do. Some seem to be caused by Visual Studio bugs, others are caused by wrong usage or copy and pasting pages from outside your project. Be as it may, often these issues are deceptively easy to solve! Here’s a step-by-step solution.\n Step 1: Open Your Project Web Application vs Web Site\n Your project must be a Web Application project. If you have a Web Site project, you do no need to worry about designer.cs files, because they won’t be there: a Web Site does not need any, it’s the cleaner and more advanced version of a Web Application.\n If you are in doubt, check the picture on the right.\n Step 2: Delete the designer.cs File\n When you delete the designer.cs file, the file must be listed like in the picture by Step 1. Right-click the file in the Solution Explorer and select the Delete option. Do not delete the file from disk using the normal Windows Explorer, or Command prompt or whatever. If you did so, you must still right-click the item (now with a warning symbol) and select Delete. Deleting the file is a harmless action, the file does not contain any valuable information and you should have never edited it yourself, because it would be overridden by Visual Studio when auto-generating it again. All it contains are the declarations of the protected fields, which are declared in the ASPX file declaratively.\n Step 3: Convert to Web Application\n Convert to Web Application only if you removed the designer.cs file as described in Step 2, you will find this option when you right-click the project or the ASPX file. After you click this menu option, the designer.cs file will be regenerated for you. Perhaps a better word for this menu option could’ve been: repair designer.cs. In which case they should have made it available at any time, to force-regenerate the designer.cs. Perhaps in Visual Studio 2010?\n Remarks\n If nothing happens, you may have tried to delete the *.aspx.designer.cs file from Windows Explorer or a Command Window. Don’t do that: you must remove it from inside the Visual Studio environment or this trick will not work at all. If you deleted the file externally, you can still follow the three steps above, as Visual Studio will still show the referenced designer.cs file as a missing file in your Solution Explorer.\n Compatibility\n This tip works and is tested with the following versions of Visual Studio:\n\n Visual Studio 2005\n Visual Studio 2008\n Visual Studio 2010\n\n Credit\n Credit for this tip go to Matthias Suter for briefly pointing to this possibility on his blog.\n History\n\n## Introduction\n\nThis post explains how you can regenerate the designer.cs and designer.vb files when they are corrupted, missing or giving compile errors.

And in this Tree you'll see a sub Tree of Functions that could be used in creating queries. You can Drag and Drop Tables Name, Queries Names, Columns Name or Functions Name from the Tree to the Editor ….. \n Coloring Key Words: you'll see your query well colored, it's more readable so, even more, you can change the colored to your preferences, and it will save your preferences for next times.\n Adding Parameters: It provides a grid for you to enter Parameters Names and Values to use in Parameterized Queries. \n Auto Completion: It provides auto completion when you press (Ctrl + Space),auto complete list contains every thing you could use in your query (Tables names , Queries names, Columns names, Functions names , Parameters names),If you started to write some word, and pressed (Ctrl + Space) the auto complete list is gonna get filtered so it contains only words that start with the part of word you have already entered, Then you can choose what you like from the list by one of the three available ways (mouse Double Clicking it , pressing Space while it's selected , or pressing Enter while it's selected), when you Choose your target from the list it will replace the part of the word you have already entered. Any time you wanted not to use the already shown auto complete list you can just press ESC, or mouse click out of it, (We'll talk later about technical treatments).\n 7. Commenting & Executing Selected Part: I know ………I know ………MS Access Queries don't support commenting.What if the user is trying to make up his/her mind, user didn't exactly know what to write (yet), he/she is bringing info from some source, and needs to execute some part of it, user is gonna be a programmer any way, and he/she's got to know that he/she won't be able to use query the way it is in the Editor here. and so for \"Executing Selected Part\",I think no need to say more for this, all user has to do is to Select some part of the written text in the Editor and Execute, Any way, you can make a \"Single Line Comment\" by preceding it by a double Dash --or a \"Multi Line Comment\" by preceding it by this /* and following it by this */ (just surround it by these /* */ for god sakes)\n Text To Code: It provides a nice tool that converts the query statement into code can be used in either languages VB.Net or C#. That nice idea was inspired from a great man (and most of its code is written by him), who has enlightened me by his books and Blogs, he is Turki Al-asiri\n Exporting Output to Excel: it provides three manners to export the grid-output to Excel Sheet.I know one manner is enough, but I wanted this tool to be Educational to you more than being commercial or helping tool, so you'll see three manners to export data to Excel Sheet (and there are more) (We'll talk later about technical treatments).\n Friendly User Interface: just discover the Menus and their shortcuts.And the DB Objects Context Menus\n\n Disadvantages\n\n Adding Parameters: \n Unfortunately typing a Parameterized query won't add parameters to the Parameters list, too bad that you have to enter them manually. \n Enormous Data: I'm so sorry to say that when it comes to the big data (very big data ) it's not gonna be a good result, It's gonna get un-predictable, it could take a long time to end (very long time :Minutes), or it could BREAK DOWN (god forbidden)\n Relative Lazy DB Scheme Fetching: It's a technical thing, It got lazy because of the operations that have been done to make later usage Faster (like Filling the Tree, DB objects Auto complete list …..etc)\n Lazy Keywords Coloring (only long queries): \n Unfortunately long queries get too lazy to color keywords. For now I think I'm gonna leave it this way……….may be in future I could make a more tight Coloring Algorithm (I'm so sorry, I can't do it now, I'm too busy for next 5-6 months……..maybe), You're gonna ask me a question,How long does it have to be to feel the slowing?Well……..just for records, A query of 1000 letter didn't feel it. the much Strings (quotes ') and Aliases (Brackets []) your query has the much slowing it gets \n\n Examples\n I'm gonna put them as screen shots,I think what mentioned before gives a plenty of Illustrations, so no need for more comments: \n Example 1: \n Example 2: \n Example 3: \n Technical Treatments\n\n Auto Completion: connect to the Northwind.mdb sample databaseconsider you tried to write the next statement Select [CategoryName] From [Categories]And for some reason you wanted to change the Selected ColumnFrom [CategoryName] to [CategoryID]you would try to delete the end of it and try to use the Auto Completion utility, like thisSelect [Category From [Categories]Now you pressed the (Ctrl + Space) and you had the Auto Completion list opened, ... You selected the Column you need and pressed (Enter) ,………Surprise ………………..You got this Select [[CategoryID] From [Categories]Auto Completion utility takes the word to complete without Non-Word characters (Brackets, Commas, Dollar Sign, Asterisks ……………etc). Not cool, but you need to take it into considerations.\n Lazy Keywords Coloring (only long queries): The reason behind the lazy coloring is that the tool (RichTextBox) used to color words tries to color All Text every time the text in the tool changes,…….that takes time,…………. I tried to make another algorithm that colors the only current affected line, it still slow, I tried to make another algorithm that colors the only current affected word, it still slow, I think we have to think about it later\n Export Data To Excel: this tool uses three manners to export the data to Excel, I mentioned before that I want this tool to be Educational to you, Ironically Excel 2003 recognizes formats more than Excel 2007 (of course Excel 2007 does recognizes them but not in its own extension \"*.xlsx\", it recognizes them in \"*.xls\" extension) you see, if you write an HTML-Table file and save it as \"*.xls\"Excel 2003 will recognize it , but Excel 2007 won't with the \"*.xlsx\" extension ,but will with \"*.xls\" extension if you write an XML file (in special Format) and save it as \"*.xls\" Excel 2003 will recognize it ,but Excel 2007 won't with the \"*.xlsx\" extension ,but will with \"*.xls\" extension [ To learn about this XML special-Format, open Excel 2003, create your sheet, format it by Excel, then in the [Save As] dialog choose the \"XML SpreadSheet\", save it , and then open it with Notepad, it's very comprehensible.] [ the code used in XML creation is a Remixed Version of an C# Function written by Xodiak in an article he made here in codeproject from here, I converted it to VB.Net and re-organized it the way I like it to be] one more manner (but we didn't used),if you write a Tab-Separated file and save it as \"*.xls\" Excel 2003 will recognize it , but Excel 2007 won't with the \"*.xlsx\" extension ,but will with \"*.xls\" extension The last manner used is to use the Excel Application to do the job, it requires the user to have the Excel installed,and it's the most slow manner among the mentioned manners I hope you get a great information and ideas in this tool, so it helps you in other applications you create\n What Do I need To Comprehend The Code: \n the code uses some technologies you need to comprehend to be able to see how the code works: \n\n Linq To Objects:It's been used all over the code, and you can't even think about reading the code without having a clue at least.Don't worry I've seen some tutorial for youin Arabic from here and a site speaks about it in English from here \n Regular Expressions:It's been used to search in the text to color Key words, and you really need to have a clue at least,there is a very good tutorial here in CodeProject (It's all I have read about it) from here \n\n you're gonna find a copy of the article in the attached zip file , in the project resources , or you can get it from the help menu of the app\n Happy Querying.\n\n## Introduction\n\nTry to create a Union query by MS Access, or an Update one, or an Insert one………..\n\nIf you wanted to see (or edit) the Sql query, What if the query a little bit long ………\n\nThe editor there sucks …………yes it does.\n\nThe Font Size doesn't change …Key words don't get colored….,\n\nSometimes Tables names are hard to remember, you have to memorize Tables/Queries/Columns names (or go to their places to copy and paste)\n\nI think what mentioned has enough reasons to make me get sick with that editor and make my own one………\n\nAny way…It's a Windows Application, developed on VB.Net 2008 IDE,\n\nA very productive, easy to use tool to edit your Sql Queries.\n\n## Advantages\n\nWe're gonna see advantages through this little tutorial.\n\n* Connecting to a new DB: won't be a big deal for you any way.\n* Saving Current Query To A File: won't be a big deal for you either.\n* Data Base Schema:\n\nwhen you connect to a new Data Base you will see a tree of its objects (Queries-Tables-Columns).\n\nEach column in the Tree will have an icon that describes its Data Type.\n\nAnd in this Tree you'll see a sub Tree of Functions that could be used in creating queries.\n\nYou can Drag and Drop Tables Name, Queries Names, Columns Name or Functions Name from the Tree to the Editor …..* Coloring Key Words:\n\nyou'll see your query well colored, it's more readable so, even more, you can change the colored to your preferences, and it will save your preferences for next times.\n\n* Adding Parameters:\n\nIt provides a grid for you to enter Parameters Names and Values to use in Parameterized Queries.\n\n* Auto Completion:\n\nIt provides auto completion when you press (Ctrl + Space),auto complete list contains every thing you could use in your query (Tables names , Queries names, Columns names, Functions names , Parameters names),If you started to write some word, and pressed (Ctrl + Space) the auto complete list is gonna get filtered so it contains only words that start with the part of word you have already entered, Then you can choose what you like from the list by one of the three available ways (mouse Double Clicking it , pressing Space while it's selected , or pressing Enter while it's selected),\n\nwhen you Choose your target from the list it will replace the part of the word you have already entered.\n\nAny time you wanted not to use the already shown auto complete list you can just press ESC, or mouse click out of it,\n\n(We'll talk later about technical treatments).\n\n* 7. Commenting & Executing Selected Part:\n\nI know ………I know ………MS Access Queries don't support commenting.What if the user is trying to make up his/her mind, user didn't exactly know what to write (yet), he/she is bringing info from some source, and needs to execute some part of it,\n\nuser is gonna be a programmer any way, and he/she's got to know that he/she won't be able to use query the way it is in the Editor here.\n\nand so for \"Executing Selected Part\",I think no need to say more for this, all user has to do is to Select some part of the written text in the Editor and Execute,\n\nAny way, you can make a \"Single Line Comment\" by preceding it by a double Dash --or a \"Multi Line Comment\" by preceding it by this /* and following it by this */ (just surround it by these /* */ for god sakes)\n\n* Text To Code:\n\nIt provides a nice tool that converts the query statement into code can be used in either languages VB.Net or C#.\n\nThat nice idea was inspired from a great man (and most of its code is written by him), who has enlightened me by his books and Blogs, he is Turki Al-asiri\n\n* Exporting Output to Excel:\n\nit provides three manners to export the grid-output to Excel Sheet.I know one manner is enough, but I wanted this tool to be Educational to you more than being commercial or helping tool, so you'll see three manners to export data to Excel Sheet (and there are more)\n\n(We'll talk later about technical treatments).\n\n* Friendly User Interface:\n\njust discover the Menus and their shortcuts.And the DB Objects Context Menus\n\n## Disadvantages\n\n* Adding Parameters:\n* Unfortunately typing a Parameterized query won't add parameters to the Parameters list, too bad that you have to enter them manually.\n* Enormous Data:\n\nI'm so sorry to say that when it comes to the big data (very big data ) it's not gonna be a good result, It's gonna get un-predictable, it could take a long time to end (very long time :Minutes), or it could BREAK DOWN (god forbidden)\n\n* Relative Lazy DB Scheme Fetching:\n\nIt's a technical thing, It got lazy because of the operations that have been done to make later usage Faster (like Filling the Tree, DB objects Auto complete list …..etc)\n\n* Lazy Keywords Coloring (only long queries):\n* Unfortunately long queries get too lazy to color keywords.\n\nFor now I think I'm gonna leave it this way……….may be in future I could make a more tight Coloring Algorithm (I'm so sorry, I can't do it now, I'm too busy for next 5-6 months……..maybe),\n\nYou're gonna ask me a question,How long does it have to be to feel the slowing?\n\n* Well……..just for records, A query of 1000 letter didn't feel it.\n* the much Strings (quotes ') and Aliases (Brackets []) your query has the much slowing it gets\n\n## Examples\n\nI'm gonna put them as screen shots,I think what mentioned before gives a plenty of Illustrations, so no need for more comments:\n\nExample 1:\n\nExample 2:\n\nExample 3:\n\n## Technical Treatments\n\n* Auto Completion:\n\nconnect to the Northwind.mdb sample databaseconsider you tried to write the next statement\n\n> Select [CategoryName] From [Categories]\n\nAnd for some reason you wanted to change the Selected Column\n\nFrom [CategoryName] to [CategoryID]you would try to delete the end of it and try to use the Auto Completion utility, like this\n\n> Select [Category From [Categories]\n\nNow you pressed the (Ctrl + Space) and you had the Auto Completion list opened, ... You selected the Column you need and pressed (Enter) ,………Surprise ………………..You got this\n\n> Select [[CategoryID] From [Categories]\n\nAuto Completion utility takes the word to complete without\n\nNon-Word characters (Brackets, Commas, Dollar Sign, Asterisks ……………etc).\n\nNot cool, but you need to take it into considerations.\n\n* Lazy Keywords Coloring (only long queries):\n\nThe reason behind the lazy coloring is that the tool (RichTextBox) used to color words tries to color All Text every time the text in the tool changes,…….that takes time,………….\n\nI tried to make another algorithm that colors the only current affected line, it still slow,\n\nI tried to make another algorithm that colors the only current affected word, it still slow,\n\nI think we have to think about it later\n\n* Export Data To Excel:\n\nthis tool uses three manners to export the data to Excel, I mentioned before that I want this tool to be Educational to you,\n\nIronically Excel 2003 recognizes formats more than Excel 2007 (of course Excel 2007 does recognizes them but not in its own extension \"*.xlsx\", it recognizes them in \"*.xls\" extension)\n\nyou see, if you write an HTML-Table file and save it as \"*.xls\"Excel 2003 will recognize it , but Excel 2007 won't with the \"*.xlsx\" extension ,but will with \"*.xls\" extension\n\nif you write an XML file (in special Format) and save it as \"*.xls\" Excel 2003 will recognize it ,but Excel 2007 won't with the \"*.xlsx\" extension ,but will with \"*.xls\" extension\n\n[ To learn about this XML special-Format, open Excel 2003, create your sheet, format it by Excel, then in the [Save As] dialog choose the \"XML SpreadSheet\", save it , and then open it with Notepad, it's very comprehensible.]\n\n[ the code used in XML creation is a Remixed Version of an C# Function written by Xodiak in an article he made here in codeproject from here, I converted it to VB.Net and re-organized it the way I like it to be]\n\none more manner (but we didn't used),if you write a Tab-Separated file and save it as \"*.xls\" Excel 2003 will recognize it , but Excel 2007 won't with the \"*.xlsx\" extension ,but will with \"*.xls\" extension\n\nThe last manner used is to use the Excel Application to do the job, it requires the user to have the Excel installed,and it's the most slow manner among the mentioned manners\n\nI hope you get a great information and ideas in this tool, so it helps you in other applications you create\n\n* What Do I need To Comprehend The Code:\n* the code uses some technologies you need to comprehend to be able to see how the code works:\n\n* Linq To Objects:\n\nIt's been used all over the code, and you can't even think about reading the code without having a clue at least.Don't worry I've seen some tutorial for youin Arabic from here and a site speaks about it in English from here* Regular Expressions:\n\nIt's been used to search in the text to color Key words, and you really need to have a clue at least,there is a very good tutorial here in CodeProject (It's all I have read about it) from here\nyou're gonna find a copy of the article in the attached zip file , in the project resources , or you can get it from the help menu of the app\n\nHappy Querying.",

This is my first article/tip on this forum so please take it easy on me. :D So I'm going to share with you a code that I made about creating folders. The function that I made is basicly just a quicker way to achieve this than using just the My.Computer.CreateDirectory statement. so lets start. start by copying and pasting this code. Private Function CreateFolder(ByVal Path As String, ByVal FolderName As String, Optional ByVal Attributes As System.IO.FileAttributes = IO.FileAttributes.Normal) alright explanation; ByVal Path As String : The path that you want to create a folder in. ByVal FolderName As String : The name of the folder you want to create. Optional ByVal Attributes As System.IO.FileAttributes = IO.FileAttributes.Normal : The attributes to add to the folder after creating it. So ex: Hide the folder, encrypt it etc. and since its an optional ByVal the default is set to normal (no attributes will be added) Now that we have that laid out, lets begin the actual coding part. First we check if the path exists, if it does throw an exception. If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(Path) = False Then Throw New Exception(\"The specified path does not exist. Make sure the specified path has been spelled correctly.\") If the path does exist we move on the checking if the folder that the user is trying to create already exists, if it does throw an exception. ElseIf My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(Path & \"\\\" & FolderName) Then Throw New Exception(\"Could not create the folder because it already exists.\") If the path exists and the folder doesn't then create it. Else My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(Path & \"\\\" & FolderName) Now check if the 'Attributes' value has been changed, if it has add the attributes stored in the value 'Attributes'. If Not Attributes = IO.FileAttributes.Normal Then My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectoryInfo(Path & \"\\\" & FolderName).Attributes = Attributes End If End If Lastly, add the end function code. End Function Full code: ''' ''' Create a Folder ''' ''' The path of where the folder will be placed. ''' The name of the folder that you want to create.

DockManager is a class responsible for managing the main window layout. Pane represents the window area that can be docked to a border. Each Pane contains one or more ManagedContent elements, which precisely refer to a window content element of the client code. Using this library is straightforward. DockManager is a user control that can be easily embedded into a window. For example, the following XAML code creates a DockManager in a DockPanel: \n \n Notice that to use DockManager you have to refer an external CLR namespace, DockingLibary here. You can now add your windows to DockManager with code like this:\n public partial class MainWindow : System.Windows.Window { private TreeViewWindow explorerWindow = new TreeViewWindow(); private OutputWindow outputWindow = new OutputWindow(); private PropertyWindow propertyWindow = new PropertyWindow(); private ListViewWindow listWindow = new ListViewWindow(); public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); } private void OnLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e) { dockManager.ParentWindow = this; propertyWindow.DockManager = dockManager; propertyWindow.Show(Dock.Top); explorerWindow.DockManager = dockManager; explorerWindow.Show(); listWindow.DockManager = dockManager; listWindow.ShowAsDocument(); } } \n Ib order to be dockable, a window must derive from DockableContent. Deriving from DockableContent indicates that the window content can be hosted in DockablePane. Windows are initially docked either where you set the Show member call or, by default, to the left border. The last thing to see is how to add a document window. A document window is a particular window that can't be docked to the main window border. It lives only in DocumentsPane which, as DockablePane, is a particular kind of Pane. The following code adds a document window with a unique title to DockManager:\n private bool ContainsDocument(string docTitle) { foreach (DockingLibrary.DocumentContent doc in DockManager.Documents) if (string.CompareOrdinal(doc.Title, docTitle) == 0) return true; return false; } private void NewDocument(object sender, EventArgs e) { string title = \"Document\"; int i = 1; while (ContainsDocument(title + i.ToString())) i++; DocumentWindow doc = new DocumentWindow(); doc.Title = title+i.ToString(); DockManager.AddDocumentContent(doc); }\n Points of interest\n Exactly how is docking realized? I implement a simple algorithm here to manage relations between windows that are docked. DockingGrid contains code to organize Pane in a logical tree. DockManager calls DockingGrid.ArrangeLayout in order to organize the window layout. You also use DockingGrid.ChangeDock when you need to dock a Pane to a main window border. The following image shows a logical tree of panes. Don't get confused with the WPF logical tree.\n Each node is a group of either two Panes or a Pane and a child. To arrange the layout, DockingGrid creates a WPF grid for each group with two columns or two rows, depending on split orientation. I hope the image is self-explanatory. Anyway, feel free to ask for more details if you are interested.\n From version 0.1, the library supports floating windows, as you can see in VS. A floating window is an instance of the FloatingWindow class. It' s a very particular window because it needs to \"float\" between two windows. One is the parent window, MainWindow in this case, which is usually the main application window. The other is a transparent window owned by FloatingWindow itself, which is shown during dragging operations.\n As you can see in the previous image, FloatingWindow supports useful switching options through a context menu on the title bar. In WinForms, controlling a non-client window area means overriding WndProc and managing relevant messages like WM_NCMOUSEMOVE.\n In WPF, we have no access to messages posted to a window. This is because everything is controlled by the WPF engine that draws window content, fires keyboard and mouse events and does a lot of other things. The only way I know of to intercept messages is to install HwndSourceHook with a delegate to our functions. The following code shows how to manage a WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN message:\n protected void OnLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e) { WindowInteropHelper helper = new WindowInteropHelper(this); _hwndSource = HwndSource.FromHwnd(helper.Handle); _hwndSource.AddHook(new HwndSourceHook(this.HookHandler)); } private IntPtr HookHandler( IntPtr hwnd, int msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, ref bool handled ) { handled = false; switch(msg) { case WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN: if (HostedPane.State == PaneState.DockableWindow && wParam.ToInt32() == HTCAPTION) { short x = (short)((lParam.ToInt32() & 0xFFFF)); short y = (short)((lParam.ToInt32() >> 16)); HostedPane.ReferencedPane.DockManager.Drag( this, new Point(x, y), new Point(x - Left, y - Top)); handled = true;} break; } } }\n Although the delegate signature looks like a window procedure signature, it's not the same thing.

An example by Tomas Brennan can be found here, which hosts a single-player GUI in C# for entering scores and calculating the result. The approach I have used instead represents a scoreboard, including the appropriate layout and calculations printed in the command prompt. It also stores internal data in a very different way, allowing for a different set of features.\n Background\n As a technical test, I was tasked with creating a scoreboard for a game of Ten Pin bowling, validating all input and incorporating all rules associated with the game. The examples provided with this article cover printing the scoreboard as text in the Windows command prompt or in the Mac OS X terminal. This could, of course, be extended to displaying values in a GUI.\n Using the Code\n The underlying system (i.e., not including the implementation of InterfaceManager) was designed to rely solely on STL classes, and therefore be completely cross-platform. While multiple forms of game have not been created, the game logic has been separated from the main program (by using two classes: Program and BowlingGame) so that such changes would be trivial. For the sake of simplicity and time, the InterfaceManager was written twice in separate deployments instead of creating an abstract interface to determine the output methodology (or worse, wrapping up the interface in large blocks of preprocessor directives).\n Getting Started: Initialization\n Initialization is straightforward; set initial default values and request the number of players. The technical specification did not provide a maximum number of players, so I set this to six. In order to get values from the user, everything is performed through the InterfaceManager (externally referred to as Interface). This constitutes a simple std::cin to an std::string value, which is then parsed to the appropriate type. To get the number of players between one and six from the user, the following code is used:\n int playerCount = 0; do { Interface.drawSplashScreen(*this); playerCount = Interface.getIntegerValue(\" Please enter the number of players (1-6): \"); } while (playerCount < 1 || playerCount > 6);\n This simply draws the splash screen (involving a little ASCII art in these console versions), prints the message requesting an integer input, and waits for the value to be entered. I do not trust std::cin to directly put input values into anything other than a string, so I instead use a stringToInteger function from my GameUtil class.\n Once the program has a number between one and six, it proceeds to ask for the names of each of the new players. The validation for this is straightforward; any input between three and sixteen characters long that isn't already the name of an entered player.\n Additional input validation would be straightforward to implement (i.e., alphabets only, first letter uppercase, subsequent letters lowercase). With all of the players set up, the game's initialization is complete - it begins on game one, frame one, and the program begins the game's update cycle.\n Taking turns: Update Loop\n The following line determines which player's turn it is:\n _turn = (_turn + 1) % _players.size(); \n And when it comes back to Player 1's turn, it begins the next round (or frame in game terms).\n if (_turn == 0) _frame++;\n Rather than handling each update cycle for each ball being bowled, a given cycle is for a player's whole turn. This means a player will continue bowling until their turn of this frame is over. A player progresses their turn by calling their bowlBall function until it returns true, denoting the end of their turn.\n Bowling a ball is a straightforward process, using the following code:\n do { scoreThisBowl = Interface.getIntegerValue(\" How many pins were hit on this bowl? \"); } while (!isValidScore(scoreThisBowl, currentFrame)); \n Note: This has been abbreviated from the Windows version, as the console class is not valid in non-Windows systems.\n The isValidScore function simply ensures that a logical number has been entered. Most of the time, this is a value between 0 and 10. Otherwise, if it is not the final frame and a non-Strike first ball has been bowled, it is a value between 0 and (10 - first score).\n With a valid score entered, the player \"updates\" all of his previous scores with the new score. This could be optimised somewhat by not updating more than the last two scores, but it is hardly a system performance bottleneck. The update call simply adds the new score as a bonus to the old score, if applicable. This is determined when the score is first recorded; if it is a Strike, it records the next two scores as bonuses. If it is a Spare, it records the next single score as a bonus. When all bonuses have been applied to a score, it no longer adds bonuses to itself.\n Displaying the Scoreboard: The Interface\n Along with some utilities in the Windows version, the InterfaceManager class is comprised of three main functions: drawSplashScreen, drawScoreTable, and drawGameOverScreen. The splash screen simply shows some bowling ASCII art and the list of player names.\n The score table is the most varied part of this program, requiring the most alteration between the Windows and Mac OS X versions. This is because the Mac terminal does not support utility features relating to different font colours or manually positioning the caret around the window. As a result, it needs to generate the score table line-by-line in the correct order, as opposed to printing the score table with no formatting and then filling in the individual scores as appropriate. In Windows, this included some extra formatting to change the colour of the text depending on whose turn it is, highlighting the current player's name and scores in yellow. Finally, the scores themselves are formatted according to the rules; a Strike is shown as an \"X\", a Spare is shown as a \"/\", and a score of zero is shown as a \"-\".\n The game over screen simply shows the score table and an ASCII trophy, declaring the winner and the score they achieved. Ties for the top score are shown as necessary, and the total score of the whole team added together is shown at the bottom.\n Ending the Game: Replay and Shutdown\n When a game has been played through ten frames and the winner(s) declared, the program prompts the user whether they want to play another game or not. If so, the game resets all player data and runs its initialization again. Otherwise, the game shuts down and closes the program. There is no dynamically allocated memory in this program, so everything is automatically cleared up on shutdown.\n Points of Interest\n I'd learned how to write code that is cross-platform and does not rely on obscure, outdated, or experimental libraries that are not likely to exist on every machine. However, before this project, I had not attempted to print out a program in the Mac OS X terminal; my assumptions had been that, because they both print text using std::cout, I could very easily redeploy my program.\n I had not counted on the different features of the terminal, and ended up rewriting fairly large sections of the interface. This mostly involved taking out the changing font colours and repositioning the caret; everything was instead printed line-by-line, resulting in similar output but requiring a bit more care and calculation.\n History\n\n 6th February, 2012: Initial post\n\n Deployed and tested version 1.0 on Windows 7 x64 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard\n\n## Introduction\n\nThe rules of Ten Pin bowling are easy to follow, but can be tricky to implement in code.

A player progresses their turn by calling their `bowlBall` function until it returns `true`, denoting the end of their turn.\nBowling a ball is a straightforward process, using the following code:\n\n> do { scoreThisBowl = Interface.getIntegerValue(\" How many pins were hit on this bowl? \"); } while (!isValidScore(scoreThisBowl, currentFrame));\n\nNote: This has been abbreviated from the Windows version, as the console class is not valid in non-Windows systems.\n\nThe `isValidScore` function simply ensures that a logical number has been entered. Most of the time, this is a value between 0 and 10. Otherwise, if it is not the final frame and a non-Strike first ball has been bowled, it is a value between 0 and (10 - first score).With a valid score entered, the player \"updates\" all of his previous scores with the new score. This could be optimised somewhat by not updating more than the last two scores, but it is hardly a system performance bottleneck. The `update` call simply adds the new score as a bonus to the old score, if applicable. This is determined when the score is first recorded; if it is a Strike, it records the next two scores as bonuses. If it is a Spare, it records the next single score as a bonus. When all bonuses have been applied to a score, it no longer adds bonuses to itself.\n\n### Displaying the Scoreboard: The Interface\n\nAlong with some utilities in the Windows version, the `InterfaceManager` class is comprised of three main functions: `drawSplashScreen`, `drawScoreTable`, and `drawGameOverScreen`. The splash screen simply shows some bowling ASCII art and the list of player names.\nThe score table is the most varied part of this program, requiring the most alteration between the Windows and Mac OS X versions. This is because the Mac terminal does not support utility features relating to different font colours or manually positioning the caret around the window. As a result, it needs to generate the score table line-by-line in the correct order, as opposed to printing the score table with no formatting and then filling in the individual scores as appropriate. In Windows, this included some extra formatting to change the colour of the text depending on whose turn it is, highlighting the current player's name and scores in yellow. Finally, the scores themselves are formatted according to the rules; a Strike is shown as an \"X\", a Spare is shown as a \"/\", and a score of zero is shown as a \"-\".\n\nThe game over screen simply shows the score table and an ASCII trophy, declaring the winner and the score they achieved. Ties for the top score are shown as necessary, and the total score of the whole team added together is shown at the bottom.\n\n### Ending the Game: Replay and Shutdown\n\nWhen a game has been played through ten frames and the winner(s) declared, the program prompts the user whether they want to play another game or not. If so, the game resets all player data and runs its initialization again. Otherwise, the game shuts down and closes the program. There is no dynamically allocated memory in this program, so everything is automatically cleared up on shutdown.\n\n## Points of Interest\n\nI'd learned how to write code that is cross-platform and does not rely on obscure, outdated, or experimental libraries that are not likely to exist on every machine. However, before this project, I had not attempted to print out a program in the Mac OS X terminal; my assumptions had been that, because they both print text using `std::cout`, I could very easily redeploy my program.\nI had not counted on the different features of the terminal, and ended up rewriting fairly large sections of the interface. This mostly involved taking out the changing font colours and repositioning the caret; everything was instead printed line-by-line, resulting in similar output but requiring a bit more care and calculation.\n\n## History\n\n* 6th February, 2012: Initial post\n\nDeployed and tested version 1.0 on Windows 7 x64 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard",

A custom template can save large amounts of time if your projects are complex and based upon custom dynamic link libraries and many external components. While the following tutorial is based upon using C# and EMGU, all the processors remain true and can be ported over to generating your own projects.\n This tutorial is designed so that user can export the projects among a community or work colleagues with ease. Custom project templates can be made in 2008, however exporting them requires installation in specific folders. This can change between users and VS 2010 solves this issue by introducing VSIX project templates.\n Pre-Requisites and Assumed Knowledge\n Unfortunately, to generate a custom template, you will need Visual Studio 2010, with Service Pack 1 and the SP1 SDK. Service Pack 1 is available here, VS 2010 SP1. The SP1 SDK is available here, VS 2010 SP1 SDK\n Ensure you restart Visual Studio after installation so that you can use the extension properly.\n It is assumed that a reader is comfortable within the C# environment, can create their own project. Understands how to import files and what dynamic link libraries are used for. While some of this will be covered, it won’t contain enough detail for a complete novice.\n Project Templates\n So What is a Project Template\n A project template is what you see when you start a new project in Visual Studio. It is an empty project in effect, that contains all the pre-requisites you require to start creating an application. Take a standard Windows Form, how does VS know to put a new form with code behind in your project, link that as the start up form and even call it Form1. Well, it uses a template, this is the case over many different applications, Word, Excel and even your phone will have templates for items such as multimedia messages and texts.\n So Why Should You Use a Project Template?\n Templates save us time, save time and we save money. Does this mean you should create one for everything you create? No... a project template is a tool and as such should only be used when necessary. EMGU is used within this example for the reason that using a project template is ideal. It is a complex project that requires many different external components, including custom DLLs.\n So Why Should You Use a Project Template?\n Let’s imagine you develop a custom DLL for your company say for advertisements and your company has a logo with a default About Box and set icon, a fair assumption. Now imagine that your company adopts your DLL and every individual who develops any program for your company now uses it, along with your company logo, about box and icon. This means that for every program they create, the first thing they must do is reference your DLL and then import the logo into their project. Then import the About Box existing form into their project. A complex system already and prone to mistakes.\n Now with a custom project template, when a user creates a new project, they use the custom template and all this is done for them. While I’m sure you’d like to imagine your bosses will thank you so much offer you a promotion and a big pay rise, let’s face it, this won’t happen, but at least you will have benefited mankind and maybe prevented some of your colleagues from throwing themselves/or computers out the window.\n The First Step – Do the Dirty Work\n Now to create the project template, you must first create the project. There is one vital step for creating your custom projects and this is in the use of custom DLLs. So don’t just skim through this section.\n Adding DLL References\n Now project templates will not include externally referenced DLL. It will include any file you include within the project however. So create a folder in project explorer and add your DLLs to this folder as existing items. In this example, they will be placed in a folder called Lib, the required DLLs are:\n\n Emgu.CV.dll\n Emgu.CV.GPU.dll\n Emgu.CV.ML.dl\n Emgu.CV.UI.dll\n Emgu.Util.dll\n\n Your solution explorer will now look something like this:\n The folder is not needed but it keeps things neat. Now reference the copied DLLs within your projects as you would normally, using browse ...project folder.../DLL/mydllfile.dll.\n You will be able to check later to make sure you followed this step correctly.\n Adding Additional Files\n Add images and additional files or forms as you would within a normal project. You can use directory structures as we did with the DLL files to keep things neat. In the EMGU example, the OpenCV wrapped libraries are required directly within the bin directory. Don’t forget to set properties such as Copy Always... as these will be copied to your project template. In the example, only two addition files are need to support basic image processing techniques.\n Form Design\n You must first layout your form the way you wish in this case, a simple picture box is to be placed on the form in which when the program starts and image is to be drawn and displayed inside it. Not very adventurous, but you can have as many controls and in the case of EMGU, the designs of which a user may develop is endless.\n The Code Behind\n The code behind is also added to the project template so if you have a method that is always used but an additional class is not needed, then include it, similarly if you’ve added classes, why not put the code behind to invoke them. In our case, we are only going to use a simple Hello World type of code. It creates a new image and writes EMGU in the centre, this is then displayed. All this does is test that the application is working and the rest is up to the user.\n using Emgu.CV; using Emgu.Util; using Emgu.CV.Structure; using Emgu.CV.CvEnum; ..... public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); Image img = new Image(400, 400, new Bgr(0, 0, 0)); MCvFont f = new MCvFont(FONT.CV_FONT_HERSHEY_TRIPLEX, 1.2, 1.2); img.Draw(\"EMGUcv\", ref f, new System.Drawing.Point(135, 180), new Bgr(0, 255, 0)); pictureBox1.Image = img.ToBitmap(); }\n Now you have your project, run it and test it, fix any bugs as you want your project template to be running as soon as it is opened.\n Creating the Project Template\n Creating a project template is made incredibly simple, just left click File=>Export Template. If you have not saved your changes, you will be prompted to do so before continuing. We want to do things properly so we are not exporting our project as a vsix just yet.\n The Export Template Wizard will now appear we want to export the whole Project Template so just select Next >.\n You can now set up the template details such as:\n\n Template Name\n Template Description\n Icon Image\n Preview Image\n\n You can leave these blank, however you may find you want to add your own else some default ones are used that are less desirable. It also makes thing more desirable. In this example, we will use an EMGU icon and a screen shot that was prepared earlier. If need be, you can select cancel at this point, gather your items and repeat the last few steps.\n Once you have selected your item, ensure you deselect the “Automatically import the template into Visual Studio” checkbox. We will test that we can use the project later but if you forget, skip to “Installing and Uninstalling on a Client Machine” section to remove the project.\n The template will be saved in a default location as a zip file, you can see that there are several templates that were made for the EMGU template project release. The default directory will open automatically in Windows explorer but should you close it, they are located here: \\Documents\\Visual Studio 2010\\My Exported Templates.\n You can explorer the project folder using an appropriate tool to ensure all your files have transferred correctly. Repeat this process for multiple templates as required until you have all your required templates.\n Creating the VSIX Export Template\n Now that we have our project template, we are going to create a VSIX project so in VS, select New Project. Look for the Sub-Contents of Extensibility, you should see a VSIX project option as shown below:\n If you do not see this project type, make sure you have installed Microsoft Visual Studio Service 1 SDK, links are under the “Pre-Requisites” heading.\n When your VSIX project opens, you will be instantly presented with the source extension manifest file. Fill in the basic Fields such as Product Name, Author, Version and Description. The ID will have a long string of random characters leave these as they are a unique identifier but you can edit the text pre-ceding them.\n You now need to select the editions your project template will work with, this is vital, the default will be the version you are using. You may want to limit the use to just Professional version of VS or allow multiple languages to use the template.\n We are now at the stage of adding the content to out VSIX project, our project template. Left click the “Add Content” button and a pop up will appear to guide you through. Select the contents type as a “Project Template”.\n Then select File and navigate to your custom project template .zip file we generated in the last section.\n Now if we have several project templates we will want to create the all under a sub-directory for a New project creation. To do this, enter the name you wish to use in the Add to subfolder field. If you wish to add the custom project template to the root directory and leave it blank. If you want to do both, then you will need to add two identical project files one with no sub-folder set and with the sub-folder you desire. In this example, a Custom Project sub-folder will be used.\n You will now see your project file within the Solution Explorer window. You can always reorganise the structure of you VSIX project here.\n Continue adding your project templates as required until you have the structure you would like. Once complete, it is time to build the solution, so select menu item Build=>Build Solution or press F6.\n Navigate to the Bin directory if your project, you will now see within it a .vsix project file. If you want to view inside the file, rename the extension to .zip, you can arrange directories here as well but this is where errors can occur. The VSIX file is all you need, so copy and paste this to the desktop and now an installation test can be carried out\n Installing and Un-Installing on a Client Machine\n Installing\n To install the VSIX project on a machine, ensure that VS 2010 is installed and exited. You can install the VSIX template with VS still open, however it won’t appear until you close and restart VS. You will be presented with an Installation wizard asking which version of VS to install the templates projects to, select the appropriate ones and click Install. If you have generated all the files correctly, a success message will be shown:\n Now re-open VS and select new project navigate to your chosen sub-directory if you used one or look down the list of available templates and you should see your nested happily within them.\n Un-Installing\n Now if you have just done a test project and you want to remove the template, it is extremely simple. Select menu option Tool=>Extension Manager.\n The Extension Manager will appear showing all your extensions such as your custom template projects. Simply select the extension and select the Uninstall button. A prompt will appear to make sure you wish to uninstall it, simply click Yes. No restart of VS is required.\n History\n\n [1] 12/03/2012: Beta Release of EMGU project templates\n [2] 27/032012: Official Release and article published\n\n# EMGU VSIX Project Templates (V2.3)\n\n# Example Project used Within Article\n\n# Example VSIX Project Template\n\n## Introduction\n\nThe following tutorial explains how to generate your own custom Microsoft project templates. A custom template can save large amounts of time if your projects are complex and based upon custom dynamic link libraries and many external components. While the following tutorial is based upon using C# and EMGU, all the processors remain true and can be ported over to generating your own projects.\n\nThis tutorial is designed so that user can export the projects among a community or work colleagues with ease. Custom project templates can be made in 2008, however exporting them requires installation in specific folders. This can change between users and VS 2010 solves this issue by introducing VSIX project templates.\n\n## Pre-Requisites and Assumed Knowledge\n\nUnfortunately, to generate a custom template, you will need Visual Studio 2010, with Service Pack 1 and the SP1 SDK. Service Pack 1 is available here, VS 2010 SP1. The SP1 SDK is available here, VS 2010 SP1 SDK\n\nEnsure you restart Visual Studio after installation so that you can use the extension properly.\n\nIt is assumed that a reader is comfortable within the C# environment, can create their own project. Understands how to import files and what dynamic link libraries are used for. While some of this will be covered, it won’t contain enough detail for a complete novice.\n\n## Project Templates\n\n### So What is a Project Template\n\nA project template is what you see when you start a new project in Visual Studio. It is an empty project in effect, that contains all the pre-requisites you require to start creating an application. Take a standard Windows Form, how does VS know to put a new form with code behind in your project, link that as the start up form and even call it `Form1`. Well, it uses a template, this is the case over many different applications, Word, Excel and even your phone will have templates for items such as multimedia messages and texts.\n\n### So Why Should You Use a Project Template?\n\nTemplates save us time, save time and we save money. Does this mean you should create one for everything you create? No... a project template is a tool and as such should only be used when necessary. EMGU is used within this example for the reason that using a project template is ideal. It is a complex project that requires many different external components, including custom DLLs.\n\n### So Why Should You Use a Project Template?\n\nLet’s imagine you develop a custom DLL for your company say for advertisements and your company has a logo with a default About Box and set icon, a fair assumption. Now imagine that your company adopts your DLL and every individual who develops any program for your company now uses it, along with your company logo, about box and icon. This means that for every program they create, the first thing they must do is reference your DLL and then import the logo into their project. Then import the About Box existing form into their project. A complex system already and prone to mistakes.\n\nNow with a custom project template, when a user creates a new project, they use the custom template and all this is done for them. While I’m sure you’d like to imagine your bosses will thank you so much offer you a promotion and a big pay rise, let’s face it, this won’t happen, but at least you will have benefited mankind and maybe prevented some of your colleagues from throwing themselves/or computers out the window.\n\n## The First Step – Do the Dirty Work\n\nNow to create the project template, you must first create the project. There is one vital step for creating your custom projects and this is in the use of custom DLLs. So don’t just skim through this section.\n\n### Adding DLL References\n\nNow project templates will not include externally referenced DLL. It will include any file you include within the project however. So create a folder in project explorer and add your DLLs to this folder as existing items. In this example, they will be placed in a folder called Lib, the required DLLs are:\n\n* Emgu.CV.dll\n* Emgu.CV.GPU.dll\n* Emgu.CV.ML.dl\n* Emgu.CV.UI.dll\n* Emgu.Util.dll\n\nYour solution explorer will now look something like this:\n\nThe folder is not needed but it keeps things neat. Now reference the copied DLLs within your projects as you would normally, using browse ...project folder.../DLL/mydllfile.dll.\n\nYou will be able to check later to make sure you followed this step correctly.\n\n### Adding Additional Files\n\nAdd images and additional files or forms as you would within a normal project. You can use directory structures as we did with the DLL files to keep things neat. In the EMGU example, the OpenCV wrapped libraries are required directly within the bin directory. Don’t forget to set properties such as Copy Always... as these will be copied to your project template. In the example, only two addition files are need to support basic image processing techniques.\n\n### Form Design\n\nYou must first layout your form the way you wish in this case, a simple picture box is to be placed on the form in which when the program starts and image is to be drawn and displayed inside it. Not very adventurous, but you can have as many controls and in the case of EMGU, the designs of which a user may develop is endless.\n\n### The Code Behind\n\nThe code behind is also added to the project template so if you have a method that is always used but an additional class is not needed, then include it, similarly if you’ve added classes, why not put the code behind to invoke them. In our case, we are only going to use a simple Hello World type of code. It creates a new image and writes EMGU in the centre, this is then displayed. All this does is test that the application is working and the rest is up to the user.\n\n> using Emgu.CV; using Emgu.Util; using Emgu.CV.Structure; using Emgu.CV.CvEnum; ..... public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); Image img = new Image(400, 400, new Bgr(0, 0, 0)); MCvFont f = new MCvFont(FONT.CV_FONT_HERSHEY_TRIPLEX, 1.2, 1.2); img.Draw(\"EMGUcv\", ref f, new System.Drawing.Point(135, 180), new Bgr(0, 255, 0)); pictureBox1.Image = img.ToBitmap(); }\n\nNow you have your project, run it and test it, fix any bugs as you want your project template to be running as soon as it is opened.\n\n## Creating the Project Template\n\nCreating a project template is made incredibly simple, just left click File=>Export Template.

+ "content": "# \n\nDate: \nCategories: \nTags: \n\nIntroduction\n With the server cluster in the office creaking alarmingly, and our fibre connection to the outside world almost warm to the touch we decided that we had to bite the bullet and move the entire mess into a true hosting centre that would provide 24/7 support, backup power, and redundant internet connections.\n\n Thorough Planning makes a difference\n\n The first step in the move was to upgrade the hardware in-house and test to ensure the new servers were up to the task. We priced the main players and soon realised that only by selling our kidneys could we ever afford the required hardware. Our other option was to purchase rack mounted cases and build the machines ourselves using quality parts at affordable prices. Sure - it meant some late nights and a bit of driving around, but we're all certified geeks and can build a box blindfold in under 6 minutes. A quick call to our local supplier - the one with the unmarked entrance at the back of a block of units in a distant industrial area - and the gear was on it's way.\n That's when the trouble began.\n We only received a single case and enough parts to make up 2 boxes if we did without some of the fancy stuff such as monitor support and Ethernet. Not good. We decided to move ahead and build what we had to at least ensure that the rest of the shipment, should it decide to turn up, would be suitable. Leading the charge was Peter, our resident hardware / network / sysadmin / all-round legend, who had the system mostly built in no time but then popped out for an extended lunch and decided, for some extremely bizarre reason, to ask Bianca to finish up. Bianca handles all advertising accounts and marketing, plus pretty much anything else thrown her way. She's amazing. She isn't, however, experienced in building servers. Hands up who can see what's wrong with this picture:\n A hint: those are wire cutters she's holding.\n So it was decided that those who have the most experience in building boxes should be the ones to, well, build the boxes. There were words. There was some pushing and shoving. There was a disaster.\n\n This can't be good\n \"Yeah, Hi. Ummm....\"\n\n A New Beginning\n We tried to get replacement hardware but in the end it was decided that the chances of us getting the servers we originally envisioned in any manageable timeline, within budget, was simply not possible. What then ensued was the biggest call-out we as a group had ever done in our four years or building CodeProject and we came up with Gold.\n\n Dave in front of some of the boxed iPaqs. They were piled up everywhere.\n\n A friend of a friend of a... (you know how these things work) had a massive stock of superceded iPaqs. One thousand of the little tikes, to be exact. They'd been purchased by one of the larger Real Estate companies for use by their employees to provide customers with up-to-date information on homes while on the road. The problem is that none of the agents could use the devices, the application they were meant to use was no longer supported (or even worked half the time) and they'd simply given up and shipped them back. They were paid for, no one wanted them, so we ended up with the lot.\n And what can an iPaq do by itself? Not a lot. But a thousand 64Mb 206MHz series 3700 iPaqs could really start to make a bit of noise.\n\n CodeProject is alive!\n\n We initially investigated whether or not it was possible for an iPaq to handle even part of the site's load and quickly realised that the units could handle everything that we required a desktop system to handle. We initially considered a reasonably radical move of installing Linux on the iPaq's and using mySQL as the backend, but instead chose to use vxWeb as a base for a webserver, and use any one of a number of plugin VBScript interpreters to quickly put together a lean and mean CE based ASP web server. On the backend it was decided that SQL Server CE was the obvious choice since it meant an easy port.\n A single iPaq was not going to be of much use. We needed to cluster! Initially we figured this was probably not going to be possible but a number of solutions ranging from traditional dual-NIC clustering to a more ambitious IR based cluster were found. We had a ton of USB adapter cables so after a bit of slicing and splicing, lots of fiddling about and copious swearing we were on our way.\n\n - This is never gonna work- Shuddup and get in the truck\n - OK. Maybe you're right.\n\n Initial development time was around 3 weeks, physical build time and testing was around 2 months and the entire move from the office to the hosting facility took around 8 hours. I was able to call on the help of Dundas Software who had tons of previous experience in CE based development, and we were also able to port the .NET parts of the site to the .NET Compact Framework with only mild swearing.\n The Facility\n CodeProject's new home is the Telus facility on Laird in Toronto. It's a monster. 8 foot thick walls, ram-raid protection, underground fuel tanks with enough fuel to power the entire facility, fully stocked with all lights on for 3 weeks. Biometric security, pressure sensitive floors, multiple connections to major internet backbones and some seriously grumpy security guards.\n\n CodeProject's new home\n\n Smile! Yes Dave - they mean you.\n\n Unfortunately we were banned from taking any pictures inside the hosting facility itself (other than the one of Dave and I in the loading dock looking dubiously at the boxes). The one pic of the rows of racks above was taken in the one place there were no security cameras, and at the expense of having Bianca sit through a 20 minute detailed explanation of the fire retardant system by our helpful, but hard to shake, escort.\n The units themselves are mounted in custom sliding trays that are attached to the racks using traditional sliding rails. We use dual firewalls capable of handling up to 100MBit each, with automatic failover and restart. All switches are 100MBit for the external network, 1Gbit for the internal traffic. Each unit has it's own screen and can easily be lifted out of it's position in the tray, making a supplementary Keyboard/Video/Mouse unit unnecessary.\n Performance\n The increase in server capacity and network bandwidth saw an almost immediate increase in throughput. We're now able to serve more pages simultaneously with faster load times than ever before.\n Scalability is a non-issue as units can either be added, or old units removed and replaced in situ without affecting the rest of the cluster. We've squeezed the thousand units into a single standard rack and will be looking to lease a second rack in the near future to expand again. After the initial teething problems it's been a great experience.\n Issues\n Obviously something this complex isn't all sweetness and light.

We have more room in the office, you get a faster, more reliable website and we get to say \"Happy April Fools Day\".\n\n## Introduction\n\nWith the server cluster in the office creaking alarmingly, and our fibre connection to the outside world almost warm to the touch we decided that we had to bite the bullet and move the entire mess into a true hosting centre that would provide 24/7 support, backup power, and redundant internet connections.\n\n| |\n |\n| Thorough Planning makes a difference |\n\nThe first step in the move was to upgrade the hardware in-house and test to ensure the new servers were up to the task. We priced the main players and soon realised that only by selling our kidneys could we ever afford the required hardware. Our other option was to purchase rack mounted cases and build the machines ourselves using quality parts at affordable prices. Sure - it meant some late nights and a bit of driving around, but we're all certified geeks and can build a box blindfold in under 6 minutes. A quick call to our local supplier - the one with the unmarked entrance at the back of a block of units in a distant industrial area - and the gear was on it's way.\n\nThat's when the trouble began.\n\nWe only received a single case and enough parts to make up 2 boxes if we did without some of the fancy stuff such as monitor support and Ethernet. Not good. We decided to move ahead and build what we had to at least ensure that the rest of the shipment, should it decide to turn up, would be suitable. Leading the charge was Peter, our resident hardware / network / sysadmin / all-round legend, who had the system mostly built in no time but then popped out for an extended lunch and decided, for some extremely bizarre reason, to ask Bianca to finish up. Bianca handles all advertising accounts and marketing, plus pretty much anything else thrown her way. She's amazing. She isn't, however, experienced in building servers. Hands up who can see what's wrong with this picture:\n\nA hint: those are wire cutters she's holding.\n\nSo it was decided that those who have the most experience in building boxes should be the ones to, well, build the boxes. There were words. There was some pushing and shoving. There was a disaster.\n\n| |\n |\n| This can't be good | \"Yeah, Hi. Ummm....\" |\n\n## A New Beginning\n\nWe tried to get replacement hardware but in the end it was decided that the chances of us getting the servers we originally envisioned in any manageable timeline, within budget, was simply not possible. What then ensued was the biggest call-out we as a group had ever done in our four years or building CodeProject and we came up with Gold.\n\n| |\n |\n\nDave in front of some of the boxed iPaqs. They were piled up everywhere.\n\nA friend of a friend of a... (you know how these things work) had a massive stock of superceded iPaqs. One thousand of the little tikes, to be exact. They'd been purchased by one of the larger Real Estate companies for use by their employees to provide customers with up-to-date information on homes while on the road. The problem is that none of the agents could use the devices, the application they were meant to use was no longer supported (or even worked half the time) and they'd simply given up and shipped them back. They were paid for, no one wanted them, so we ended up with the lot.\n\nAnd what can an iPaq do by itself? Not a lot. But a thousand 64Mb 206MHz series 3700 iPaqs could really start to make a bit of noise.\n\n| |\n |\n| |\n\nWe initially investigated whether or not it was possible for an iPaq to handle even part of the site's load and quickly realised that the units could handle everything that we required a desktop system to handle. We initially considered a reasonably radical move of installing Linux on the iPaq's and using mySQL as the backend, but instead chose to use vxWeb as a base for a webserver, and use any one of a number of plugin VBScript interpreters to quickly put together a lean and mean CE based ASP web server. On the backend it was decided that SQL Server CE was the obvious choice since it meant an easy port.\n\nA single iPaq was not going to be of much use. We needed to cluster! Initially we figured this was probably not going to be possible but a number of solutions ranging from traditional dual-NIC clustering to a more ambitious IR based cluster were found. We had a ton of USB adapter cables so after a bit of slicing and splicing, lots of fiddling about and copious swearing we were on our way.\n\n| |\n |\n| - This is never gonna work | - OK. Maybe you're right. |\n\nInitial development time was around 3 weeks, physical build time and testing was around 2 months and the entire move from the office to the hosting facility took around 8 hours. I was able to call on the help of Dundas Software who had tons of previous experience in CE based development, and we were also able to port the .NET parts of the site to the .NET Compact Framework with only mild swearing.\n\n## The Facility\n\nCodeProject's new home is the Telus facility on Laird in Toronto. It's a monster. 8 foot thick walls, ram-raid protection, underground fuel tanks with enough fuel to power the entire facility, fully stocked with all lights on for 3 weeks. Biometric security, pressure sensitive floors, multiple connections to major internet backbones and some seriously grumpy security guards.\n\nCodeProject's new home\n\n Smile! Yes Dave - they mean you.\n\nUnfortunately we were banned from taking any pictures inside the hosting facility itself (other than the one of Dave and I in the loading dock looking dubiously at the boxes). The one pic of the rows of racks above was taken in the one place there were no security cameras, and at the expense of having Bianca sit through a 20 minute detailed explanation of the fire retardant system by our helpful, but hard to shake, escort.\n\nThe units themselves are mounted in custom sliding trays that are attached to the racks using traditional sliding rails. We use dual firewalls capable of handling up to 100MBit each, with automatic failover and restart. All switches are 100MBit for the external network, 1Gbit for the internal traffic. Each unit has it's own screen and can easily be lifted out of it's position in the tray, making a supplementary Keyboard/Video/Mouse unit unnecessary.\n\n## Performance\n\nThe increase in server capacity and network bandwidth saw an almost immediate increase in throughput. We're now able to serve more pages simultaneously with faster load times than ever before.\n\nScalability is a non-issue as units can either be added, or old units removed and replaced in situ without affecting the rest of the cluster. We've squeezed the thousand units into a single standard rack and will be looking to lease a second rack in the near future to expand again. After the initial teething problems it's been a great experience.\n\n## Issues\n\nObviously something this complex isn't all sweetness and light. Some of you will remember issues with had when we had 6 servers. Server number 2, you will remember, was always playing up and was, in the end, declared cursed and unsalvageable. Our current setup essentially multiplies these problems.

I believe it has something to do with the session as the form method calls: /mma/account.do;jsessionid=FAFCF62744FA4FF96CA73A7AA9F33254.portal14a?l=en but i lack the experience to know how to handle this.
