    - Commerce Server StarterSite Troubles Philip, There's a web.config setting packaged up with both the CSharpSite and the StarterSite pup files which has an external database dependency. The offending line of code appears as follows: < orders honorStatus = " true " newOrderStatus = " NewOrder " sqlCommandTimeoutSeconds = " 60 " sqlLongRunningCommandTimeoutSeconds = " 28800 " > I typically fix this by opening up SQL Server Management Studio and expanding the [Site Name]_transactionsconfig database. In a complete site installation, you'll see the following records in the AllowedStatus table: Cancelled InProcess NewOrder Rejected Shipped Submitted In your case, you're just going to be greeted with NULL. Just go ahead and type NewOrder into that null record and hit enter, and your error should be fixed. Tag: HD DVD Interactivity Authoring Can XPath variables be used in <styling> Architecture

    - BizTalk message doesn't have all data returned by service Well, I'm not sure whether I'm an idiot or MS has reached a new level of incompetence. It turns out that every time one makes a change within their Visual Studio BizTalk project, and deploys the solution (right-click on the solution > Deploy) to a *remote* BizTalk server, I have to manually copy and register (or re-register) the resulting DLL (from bin/Deployment under project) into the GAC on the remote BizTalk server. Apparently the Visual Studio deploy mechanism can do everything except this. That was the problem above, I had an old DLL in the GAC on the BizTalk server. If that's truly the case, it means MS expects you to have BizTalk server installed locally, or you have to come up with your own mechanism for updating the GAC on the BizTalk server, every time you do a compile & publish. So now it's a different question... there must be better ways than doing this than remoting to the server, copying the file, dragging and dropping to the C:\WINDOWS\assembly folder, isn't there Thanks, - Jesse Tag: HD DVD Interactivity Authoring Can XPath variables be used in <styling> Architecture

    - RC1 or RTM? How are you Since nobody replied so far: In regards to 2.: If I remember well, the last information we received (in May in Seattle), was that there would be a special RC for IHVs to implement localization. I have not seen it yet, but then we are not an IHV (even though we wrote a provider). But then - June 27 passed - so - .some of us should have access to RTM by now. (No announcements of a delay were made...) - I don't, however... I received the info that we even could go live with our jumpstart customers before GA - so - I am getting challenged already by a customer where the RTM is so that we can at least do valid test installations already since they do not waste resources on pre-release code when RTM should be there already.

    - Basic Help on HD DVD Lax4u, this is a professional forum for developers of HDi, the interactivity format that is used by HD DVD. For general information, please see http://thisishddvd.com/ or http://thelookandsoundofperfect.com . I will address your questions, however. lax4u wrote: 1> Can i create HD DVD using MPEG-2 format video. i mean the videos captred using degital video camcoder. HD DVD supports MPEG-2 video as a compression scheme. Consumer digital video cameras generally use a format called DV (a standard definition resolution). There are a number of HD consumer digital video cameras coming onto the market now which shoot a variety of formats (HDV, ProHD, AVCHD) which use other compression schemes still. They are now, however, bitstream compatibile with HD DVD and will require a transcode process to convert from the original pictures. Transcoding generally decodes the original picture, then recompresses that picture with a different compression algorithm. lax4u wrote: 2> Is it possible to convert MPEG-2 video to .WMV This is transcoding (see above). You can do this with a variety of applications, such as Adobe's premiere software. Note though, that WMV does not imply anything to do with HD DVD. Most HD DVD production programs will do the transcoding for you into a format which is compatible with HD DVD. lax4u wrote: 3> Is it possible to instrease the resolution of MPEG2 video Not really. You can upsample standard defintion video (640x480 / 720x480 / 720x576, etc) to HD resolutions (1920x1080,1280x720), but your ouput will never be better than your source. lax4u wrote: 4> once authoring is done, do i need special burner to burn or can i burn it using normal DVD burner on + or - format DVD You can burn variants of HD DVD on DVD-R. Your HD DVD production program should be able to handle this for you within its constraints. Tag: HD DVD Interactivity Authoring Can XPath variables be used in <styling> Architecture

    - Marketing Manager - Custom target expressions possible? You can create an expression that has properties on the left and right side. So, the expression: <CLAUSE OPER="on-or-before" xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/CommerceServer/2004/02/Expressions" > <PROPERTY ID="UserObject.LicenseExpiryDate" TYPE="DATE" MULTIVAL="false" /> <PROPERTY ID="eee.currDate" TYPE="DATE" MULTIVAL="false" /> </CLAUSE> Is valid. However, you cannot view or edit this expression through the Marketing Manager. You'll need to create and maintain it programatically. But there is no way through the expression to specify that a property of type DATE is within X days of the current date. The solution I would recommend would be to add another Boolean property to your UserObject profile that indicates that the the expiry date is near "UserObject.NearLicenseExpiryDate". You could then write site code to set this property before the pipeline is run to select advertisements. This property doesn't even need to map to a SQL column if you won't need to use it outside of the site code. So your new targeting expression would be: <CLAUSE OPER="equal" xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/CommerceServer/2004/02/Expressions" > <PROPERTY ID="UserObject.NearLicenseExpiryDate" TYPE="BOOL" MULTIVAL="false" /> <IMMED-VAL TYPE="BOOL"><VALUE>True</VALUE></IMMED-VAL> </CLAUSE> This expression can also be maintained through the Marketing Manager, so it's probably a better solution. - David Tag: HD DVD Interactivity Authoring Can XPath variables be used in <styling> Architecture

    - what is more performatic? a single join or multiple selects? As a general rule of thumb it has been my experience that a single query with multiple joins is going to perform far better than many individual select statements. Now, you might find that you write a complex query and it performs very badly, then break the query up and find that the individual select statements perform better. That doesn't mean that my rule of thumb is incorrect, it could simply mean that you haven't optimized the complex query and SQL Servers query optimizer doesn't have appropriate indexes to choose from or is choosing the wrong indexes. There's also the issue of marshaling data. When you design an application you should always think about what's going on behind the scenes on the network. If you are developing a client server application and you are marshaling data from SQL Server to your client, then marshaling that data back from your client to SQL Server, you will take a performance hit if the data manipulation could have been done without marshaling all the data. There's no right answer to your question. If performance is a concern and it usually is, it's best to do some testing to find out which design results in the best performance unless there are some obvious bottlenecks. An obvious bottleneck would be the situation in which you have the option of processing the data on the server or transferring the data to the client for process and back again. In that situation you won't need to test as the server only based solution will perform better. My advice to you is to spend time thinking about what all is involved in the making this piece of your application work and come up with a design that eliminates as many obvious bottlenecks as possible, then if you have several design candidates, do some performance testing to find out which one will probably yield the best performance.

    - Problem did not disappear (Indexing) Apologies for the silence on this issue. We found the problem and have already fixed it for the next release of WDS. In the meantime there is a workaround. Please create the following DWORD registry value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\FolderRedirection set its value to 0 The effect of this change is that Search will no longer automatically find a redirected My Documents folder. So if you change the location of My Documents after setting this value, Search will not automatically find the new location (you can still add it manually through the Indexing control panel applet if it's not already in the search scope). If you don't use redirected My Documents (or if you use it but don't change the location after setting this value) then there is no impact. Directions for adding the value to the registry: Go to Start -> Run (or Windows Key + R), type regedit and click ok. In the navigation pane on the left, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search. Right-click on the Windows Search key on the left and click New -> DWORD value. Type FolderRedirection as the name of the new value. Double-click on the newly created value on the right and type 0 as its value. Please post back here and let us know if this worked for you or not.

    - Commerce Server 2007 Shipping Options Hi Dmitry, You cannot get the ShippingRates from the runtime side - this information is pulled from the DB when the pipelines are run. Instead you can use the Management APIs to get this info for e.g. the ShippingMethods property for all the active ShippingMethods in the system: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/sdkmref/html/P_Microsoft_CommerceServer_Orders_ShippingMethodManager_ShippingMethods.asp If you really need this data on the runtime site, you can cache it on application startup and use it since it will not typically change too often.

    - Problems receiving 997 functional acknowledgement data Hi, There are EDI status reports built into R2. They are located on the Group Hub page of the Admin console. You might have to scroll down to see them. You can see the parties, control ids and other stuff. The problem I am having is that the inbound 997s are not updating the Interchange status from "Ack Expected" to "Accepted". What are the Interchange statuses for your 810s Seems like your orchestration is not subscribing to the 997s. Try turning off the send port writing out the inbound 997. If there are no subscriptions to the message then it will be suspended. You can then try to troubleshoot why the orch won't get the 997. The message will not be suspended if there is at least one subscription to it. Good luck, Mike Tag: HD DVD Interactivity Authoring Can XPath variables be used in <styling> Architecture

    - Search service hung on starting I have exactly the same problem. We deployed WDS 3.0 (Windows Desktop Search) on various computers (new installations and existing computers). WDS was working fine for about a week. Then some computers began to boot slowly, hanging for 2 minutes at "Applying computer settings". The "Windows Search" service was causing this delay. Changing the startup type of the service from Automatic to Manual solves the problem of slow startup. I also noticed that even if there is an entry in the eventlog about the hanging of the service, the service is anyway starting and working fine afterwards. We configured the options of WDS to index the users folders. Those users folders are actually mapped drives to server shares respective to each user. I could think about a problem of WDS trying to check for the mapped drive while it has not yet been mapped at startup, but I need to investigate this more. I'll post more here later.

    - How to Enable TCPIP.SYS in kernel Mode? Hello Stone, Both the WSK subsystem and the TCPIP transport will eventually start as the system boots up. You can wait for the WSK subsystem to come up by calling WskCaptureProviderNPI in a thread different from the one your DriverEntry is called in. Once you capture the WSK provider NPI, you can query avaliable transports via the WSK_TRANSPORT_LIST_QUERY Ioctl with WskControlClient routine. If the transport that you are interested in is not up yet, then you can use the WSK_TRANSPORT_LIST_CHANGE Ioctl to wait for transport list change notifications. As you noted, TCPIP transport will not start as a boot driver in Vista RTM, so you can not use it to create sockets when the system is still in the boot start phase. Additionally, the WSK subsystem itself will not be up and running in the boot start phase either. It's not a reliable/supported way to change the start phase of these system drivers by manipulating their start modes in the Registry or via SCM APIs. I would be very interested to know if you really need to be able to create WSK sockets over TCPIP in boot start phase and why. Thanks. --Osman Tag: HD DVD Interactivity Authoring Can XPath variables be used in <styling> Architecture

    - How to use WFP to change target IP Hi, Please review the "Packet Modification Examples" topic in the WDK ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa938500.aspx ) to see how to use WFP to modify IP packets. From your post, I assume that you would like to modify target IP address for outbound UDP packets. For that purpose, you can register your callout at FWPM_LAYER_DATAGRAM_DATA_V{4|6} with the FWPM_CONDITION_DIRECTION set to FWP_DIRECTION_OUTBOUND and with FWPM_CONDITION_IP_PROTOCOL set to UDP. When your ClassifyFn function is invoked for this layer/direction, the layerData parameter pointers to an Ndis NET_BUFFER_LIST structure which contains one or more NET_BUFFER structures; and each NET_BUFFER structure corresponds to one packet. (you can refer to Ndis documentations in the WDK for details on NET_BUFFER_LIST/NETBUFFER). One important attribute of NET_BUFFER (i.e. packet) is its "Data Offset Position". Data packets indicated by WFP to callout drivers have different offsets depending on packet directions and layers (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa504926.aspx for more details). Data offset can be adjusted using the NdisRetreatNetBufferDataStart or NdisAdvanceNetBufferDataStart function. To get to the data buffer pointed to by the current offset, use NdisGetDataBuffer function. At outbound datagram data layer, UDP packets are indicated with offset set to the beginning of the UDP header. Therefore you can call NdisGetDataBuffer(NET_BUFFER_LIST_FIRST_BUFFER((NET_BUFFER_LIST*)layerData, ...) to get to the UDP header of the first UDP packet. As mentioned in the "Inspecting Packet and Stream Data" section ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa938503.aspx ), packet modification (e.g. changing target IP) must be performed on a clone of the original packet; and then the original is blocked/absorbed while the clone is modified and re-injected back to the network. Please refer to the WDK for details about clone-drop-reinject. Also note that you may need to adjust the UDP checksum after modification. Hope this helps, Biao.W.

    - Scopes and Parameters Well I can go part way and answer the first part, To enable custom scopes on your search center go to the search settings link on the site settings page. I set the targeted page to "/results.aspx" similar to the way that MOSS handles search scopes. I then set up custom search scopes on http:// {servername}/ _layouts/viewscopes.aspx mode=site I was able to get custom scopes working in about 5 minutes. Note: If you're unable to see the scopes on the search pages either default/advanced/or results, you can modify the properties of the SearchWebPart and tell it to show the scopes.Either in Designer or the Front End. You might be able to create a table of contents for your dynamic content that lead to all the different pages, so when that was indexed, all the dynamic content was indexed... Just and idea though.

I wonder if the xpath variables can be used like :
style:x="$style_x"
in <styling> in .xmu , and style_x is from
document.setXPathVariable("style_x","200px");
in .js .

I know the xpath variable can be used in <timing> and <body>.

Anybody can help me Thanks in advance.

Re: HD DVD Interactivity Authoring Can XPath variables be used in <styling>

HI there

Xpath variables are meant to be used only inside Xpath Expressions (that's why they are called Xpath Variables :) ).

I guess at least pre-defined Xpath variables can be used in XMU (inside Xpath Expressions).

Author can define her own Xpath Variables in a js file.I am not sure whether author-defined variables can be used in XMU ( inside Xpath Expressions).

Re: HD DVD Interactivity Authoring Can XPath variables be used in <styling>

Jayx

Thanks donbox5.

Re: HD DVD Interactivity Authoring Can XPath variables be used in <styling>

Peter Torr - MSFT

Yes, you can use author-defined expressions inside timing blocks of your markup files, but as donbox5 says they can only be used in timing expressions, not in set or animate calls or as part of the styling block.

Remeber to set all your XPath variables to their default values during your markupLoadedHandler function, otherwise your markup will fail on the first tick.

If you just want to use a constant value in your markup, you can look at the pre-processor I wrote about on my blog.

http://blogs.msdn.com/ptorr/archive/2007/01/10/simple-pre-processor-for-hdi.aspx

If you really want to dynamically change the value of an animation, consider doing it via the Animated Property API instead of via timing.
