• What is the most safe, efficient, better and without or beside free VPN (Virtual Private Network), to download and what source on Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit?

  Due to some problems, I need start using a VPN and I went to CNET research here, but I find many that are 'free' and a trial are only a purchase while others I think might also have additional files which includes the constant advertising and there's enough of this everywhere as it is and I don't want that. I searched elsewhere, too, but then I don't want to not also learn that I had also allowed some keylogger or other files hidden, unwanted and dangerous, too. So, I just need a free or almost free (by means as the purchase of any service or an object like many do now in Exchange for a service/membership number) VPN that is as safe and effective where it can be turned on or off with a simple mouse click which is low in memory consumption and easy to use.

  Not exactly what you want or what you need to do, but if you want a secure via a third party VPN tunnel, then you probably won't find much free, the old adage "you get what you pay for" would certainly apply.  I don't expect everyone to implement VPN reliable good free servers to provide free encrypted tunnels between computers of end users and to host servers all over the internet!  Perhaps a proxy server would do... or do you really need VPN?

• What is the most important difference between 3D Picture control and controlling the display of Simulator

  I want to create a simulation of 3D on the front panel, and I see that we can use a 3D image control or a display of Simulator control. It seems that each of them can be used at the same position. What is the most important difference between 3D Picture control and display of Simulator?

  Hi sfh1,

  You are right, I found examples of Robotics that use 3D photo control and display Simulator control to display a scene 3D on the front panel. After further research, it seems that control the display of Simulator adds additional features compared to the 3D picture control. The control displays Simulator allows the user to right-click control during execution and change the background color, draw fashion, draw contact, view the ID of robot, display sensor data, suspension of service Simulator and reset service Simulator.

  More in depth on these options and the display of control Simulator can be found here:

• The most effective way to log data and read simultaneously (DAQmx, PDM) high data rates

  Hello
   
  I want to acquire the data of several Modules cDAQ using several chassis to
  high data rates (100 k samples per second if possible). Let's say the measurement time is 10 minutes and we got a large number of channels (40 for example). The measured data is written to a PDM file. I guess, the memory or the HARD disk speed is the limits. For the user, there must be a possibility to view the selection of channels in a graph during the measurement.

  My question: what is the best and most effective way to save and read data at the same time?

  First of all, I use an architecture of producer-consumer and I don't want to write and display the data in the same loop. I expect two possibilities:

  [1] to use the 'DAQmx configure logging.vi' with the operation 'journal and read' to write the data to a PDM file. To display the data in a second loop, I would create a DVR samples documented and 'sent' the DVR for the second loop, where the data will be displayed in a graph (data value reference). This method has the disadvantage that the data of all channels is copied into memory. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  [2] use 'DAQmx configure logging.vi', but only with the "journal" operation to write the data to a PDM file. To view the selected data, I had read a number of samples of the TDMS file in the second loop (I'm currently writing the TDMS file). In this case, I have only one copy data from the selected channels (not), but there will be more HARD drive accesses necessary.

  What is the most effective and efficient solution in this case?

  Are there ways to connect and read data with high frequencies of sampling?

  Thank you for your help.

  You say that the measurement time is 10 minutes. If you have 40 channels and you enjoy all CHs at 100 kHz, it is quite a number of values.

  In this case, I always try to approach under the conditions of use. If a measure is only 10 minutes, I just connect all PDM data and create a graphic module that could be in the same loop of consumers where connect you the data. You can always work on the raw data files big offline afterwards, the extraction of all the information you need (have a look at the product called NI DIAdem: http://www.ni.com/diadem/)

  The main issue is that the user needs to see in the graph (or perhaps a chart can be useful too). Lets say that the graph is 1024 pixels wide. It makes no sense to show multiple data to 1024 points, Yes? Every second will produce you 100 data points k per channel. What is the useful information, which should see your username? It depends on the application. In similar cases, I usually use some kind of data reduction method: I use a moving average (Point by point Mean.VI for example) with a size of the interval of 100. This way you get 100 data points of 1000 per channel every second. If you feed your graph every second with these average values, it will be able to data points in 1024 of the store (as a default) by channel (curve), which is a little more than 10 minutes, so that the user will see the entire measurement.

  So it depends on the frequency at which you send data to the consumer. For example, collect you values 1024 by iteration of the producer and send it to the consumer. Here you can make a normal means calc or a bearing (according to your needs) and he draw a graphic. This way your chart will display only the values of the last 10 seconds...

  Once I programmed some kind of module where I use a chart and not a graph, and the user can specify the interval of the absolute timestamp that is traced. If the data size is larger than the size of the chart in pixels, the module performs an average calculation in order to reduce the number of data points. Of course, if you need to see the raw data, you can specify an interval that is small. It all depends on how you program zoom functions, etc... In my case I hade a rate of 1 Hz, so I just kept all data in RAM limiting the berries to keep 24 hours of data, so that technicians could monitor the system. In your case, given the enormous amount of data, only a file read/write approach can work, if you really need access to all of the RAW data on the fly. But I hope that the values of working capital means will be enough?

• Get the most recent version number of CC Applications

  Hello

  is there a way to get the most recent version of all/some products CC numbers? We want to make a list with the latest versions.

• Performance of the queries in order to get the most recent price

  Happy new year everyone.

  I have a table of price in my system that has several awards for each product with the date, the price is entered into force.

  I have queries throughout the system to retrieve the most recent actual price for the date of the transaction.

  I can find to implement the easiest way is to have a user-defined function to collect the prize.

  My problem is that many of my questions have access to large amounts of data (for example, transactions) and my table of prices is also big enough - both have millions of records. Using a Pl/SQL function defined by the user in my query, I get a lot of switching context between SQL and PL/SQL and my questions are not well

  Here is an example of code, which simplifies my scenario:

  drop table xo_stock_trans;
  create table xo_stock_trans (item varchar2(25), trans_date date, quantity number(20,4));

  insert into xo_stock_trans values('A',TO_DATE('27-DEC-2014','DD-MON-YYYY'), -2);
  insert into xo_stock_trans values('A',TO_DATE('28-DEC-2014','DD-MON-YYYY'), 5);
  insert into xo_stock_trans values('B',TO_DATE('23-DEC-2014','DD-MON-YYYY'), 20);
  insert into xo_stock_trans values('B',TO_DATE('26-DEC-2014','DD-MON-YYYY'), -6);

  select tr.item, tr.trans_date, tr.quantity

      , pr.net_price
      , pr.special_price
  from xo_stock_trans tr

                                       where pr2.item = pr.item
                                         and pr2.price_date <= tr.trans_date
                                       )
  where tr.trans_date between '01-AUG-2014' and '31-AUG-2014';
  

  I'm interested to know if anyone has addressed a similar scenario and have managed to write more efficient code.

  I looked at the determinism/manual caching of the function, but the article/date combinations are quite unique and therefore he does not benefit from him.

  Any suggestion under review - parallelism, analytical, pipeline functions, etc.

  You got that right!  User-defined functions can be very practical, but this practice comes with a price.

  What version of Oracle are you using?  The Oracle 12, there is a new feature of 'temporal validity' which may help you.

  In any version, it will be much faster if you add a new column to the xo_prices table.  You can call this end_date, although it would in fact be the date when some other prices took effect.  You might put DATE' 9999-12-31 in the column end_date for current prices.  You can calculate end_date using the analytical function of LEAD.  Be sure to re-calcluate end_date when you insert new rows into xo_prices, or when you update the dates on existing lines.

  Once you have PRICE_DATE and end_date in the XO_PRICES table, you can join this table to get the real price from d by including

  AND d > = xo_prices.price_date

  AND d< >

  in the join condition.

  In some situations, especially when you don't have much different (item, dates) combinations, scalar-sub-queries could be faster than joins.

  Whatever it is, it participates without PL/SQL, so there is no context switching.

• "The memory resources available in the pool of resources of the parent are insufficient for the operations." ... Really?

  Hello

  We have three virtual machines on a host computer. They need to be pinned to this host and with reserved memory: 1 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB.

  We are talking about 13 GB of RAM on a physical server that has 16 GB of physical RAM.

  When I Power On last VM, I get the following error:

  "The memory resources available in the pool of resources of the parent are not enough for the operation."

  I have a second host with the same size of memory and use reach 14GB of memory.

  I know that each virtual machine wants more memory than what we have configured, but I would like to know if it's a "bug" or

  something we can fix via vCenter configuration, or we really need more physical memory.

  Please find attached the config of memory for the virtual machine and the host State.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Host needs some memory as well for things like vmkernel, drivers and other components and you will not be able to touch this area with reserves of VM. It is not a bug, more like a fuse. You will not be allowed to book all of the physical RAM to VMs and / or resource pools.

  In your case, you should either decrease the reserves (why are you booking 100% memory for your virtual machines? What you're trying to achieve with this setting? Is it an obligation of the seller to App?) or increase the amount of physical RAM on the host.

  Of course this depends on your specific requirements and management policies of the resources, but in most cases I've seen, reservations are only affected when there is a heavy statement memory and using actions alone is not enough. Even so, reservations are usually configured only for very high priority / criticality VMs and not 100%, but rather a little before "stable / persistent peak memory Active" value. F.x. If a particular virtual machine has more mem use regularly on Wednesday 1-3 PM and memory active value for this period is 3 GB, a reservation is usually set to something like 4GB.

  I hope this helps.

• Question for the host resource

  Hello

  We have 1 blade that hosts a physical SQL Server on it. The resources of this blade are 10 total to 20 cores processors and 512 GB of RAM on it. We want to virtualize it soon, but we don't have any other guests that we could use this size. We have a few available hosts that are 8 to 16 cores CPU and 256 GB of RAM. I was hoping that I could create a cluster with 2 of these hosts and virtualize the largest physical machine in the cluster. I know that when I virtualize this machine, he will live on one of the hosts at any given time. My question is if these hosts would be 'pool' their resources so that this machine could use more than a single host would offer it. Is it possible at all or not? If not is there another work around for this problem I have?

  We are on vSphere 5.5

  Thank you

  My question is if these hosts would be 'pool' their resources so that this machine could use more than a single host would offer it. Is it possible at all or not? If not is there another work around for this problem I have?

  No, the maximum resource that can use a particular virtual machine will be limited by the maximum available on a single host computer running this VM particular resource. Workaround is to add more physical resources on the host or create the virtual computer with limited resources. Are you sure that your virtual machine uses really 20 the processor cores and 512 GB of RAM? Most of the workload running on the physical server uses all resources.

   and z.file_valid='N'

  Logic behind it all
  
  This is to identify all records that are no more final candidate
  
  -> candidate is identified by the name of the candidate.
  -> version and date_submitted is used to identify the most recent entry of this candidate.
  -> if same candidate has several entries with the same version and also date_submitted even then use max (ptsequence) to identify the most recent.
  
  Problem here is
  -> if we see a candidate with File_valid input = ' don't this means that the earlier version of this candidate should be the most recent.
  An other problem is
  -> if we see a candidate with File_valid input = ' don't and no not all old records, then the current should be the last.

  As for your use of the battery, you can check what app pulls most of its use in the settings / battery.  A new version of the app is sometimes problematic, not necessarily iOS or iPhone.  If you see a unusual % of use of a particular application, or force-to leave it removal/reinstalling it or remove it until an update comes.  If anything seems unusual, it might be a problematic installation of iOS, in which case, you could backup your iPhone and restore it:

  You have placed your beam to insert at the end of your text on page 13 and then apply Insert menu: Page Break? In the v5.6.2, Pages I just add a new page to a section of four pages to this approach.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

• I have Firefox 38.2.0 and it tells me that it is the most recent version but online there is version 40 + and it won't let me install it.

  My OS is Windows 10. I have Firefox 38.2.0 and it tells me that it is the most recent version. However, I got emails telling me to upgrade to the latest version which seems to be in the 40s. When I go to the https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ website, it tells me
  "Looks like you are using an older version of Firefox."

  So I click on upgrade and it loads a file "stub". I close in Firefox, go to the folder where the file is located and run it. At the end of the process, he told me that Firefox still works and I have to close it for the new version to load. Then I go to the Task Manager, and he told me that no request to don't run! I went through this process three times without any positive result.

  What to do?

  I'll answer your question, but I suggest not changing your version of Firefox until find us out if having to do any with your plant, discussed here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1078897

  At some point, there are two different versions of Firefox:

  • Public release of the standard/large: currently Firefox 40.0.2
  • Extended support release (ESR): currently Firefox 38.2.0

  The version of ESR is intended for companies who need maximum stability for their users. New features usually are not added for at least six months, although security patches are issued approximately every six weeks.

  You want to switch to the standard version? If so, this is how I suggest to do:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 40.0.2 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

  (C) to rename the program folder, either:

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\FxESR
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\FxESR
  

  (D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in the old folder. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \FxESR\Plugins
  • \FxESR\browser\plugins
