No part of this document may be reproduced or transmitted in any form, by any means (electronic, photocopying, recording or otherwise) without prior consent of Informatica Corporation. Abstract This article describes frequently asked questions about using Informatica Fast Clone for bulk data movement. It includes information about Fast Clone features and some common errors. Supported Versions ¨ Informatica Fast Clone 6.6 Table of Contents General Questions............................................................... 2 Configuration Questions........................................................... 5 Questions about Oracle Sources...................................................... 7 Troubleshooting................................................................. 8 General Questions What is Fast Clone? Fast Clone is a high-performance cloning tool for moving bulk data from Oracle databases to heterogeneous destinations, including relational databases and flat files. The optional DataStreamer component can stream data to Greenplum and Teradata destinations, which avoids intermediate storage use and reduces I/O. You can use Fast Clone for any of the following purposes: ¨ Cloning Oracle databases. ¨ Moving Oracle data to another type of platform. ¨ Migrating production data into a test environment. ¨ Initially loading data into tables that will be the targets of Informatica Data Replication jobs, before starting transactional data replication. In this case, Fast Clone is a high-speed alternative to the Data Replication InitialSync component. What is the difference between the direct path unload and conventional path unload methods? Fast Clone has two methods of unloading data from an Oracle source: direct path unload and conventional path unload. The direct path unload method is much faster. It extracts source metadata to physical files and reads Oracle data files directly. Also, it can stream data to Greenplum and Teradata destinations.

PUB DATE May 87 NOTE 23p.; For other guides in this series, see IR 012 939-940. PUB TYPE Guides General (050) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Computer Printers; *Evaluation Criteria; Guidelines; *Microcomputers; *Screens (Displays); Selection IDENTIFIERS *Computer Selection ABSTRACT Presented in nontechnical language, this guide suggests criteria for the selection of three computer hardware essentials--a microcomputer, a monitor, and a printer. Factors to be considered in selecting the microcomputer are identified and discusscd, including what the computer is to be used for, dealer support, software availability, modem access, add-on capability, the manufacturer, competing brands, and the speed, memory, and power capabilities of the central-processing unit. Key elements to consider when choosing a monitor, which is also called a cathode-ray-tube (crt) display unit, are also explained, including number of screen pixels, number of characters per screen, maximum number of colors, bandwidth, dot pitch, convergence, phcsphor persistence, and provisions for prevention of glare from the screen. Various features of the major types of printers--dot matrix, daisy wheel, thimble, thermal, ink jet, and laser--are also discussed, including quality of characters, print pitch, proportional spacing, carriage width, speed, buffer, support, and cost. The importance of defining what the computer is be used for is emphasized, and the rapidity of new technological developments is noted. A glossary of computer terms is included as well as a list of 15 journal articles for further reading.
  • Using Trade Dress to Protect the Look and Feel of Video Games

    Using Trade Dress to Protect the Look and Feel of Video Games

    THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW TRYING ON TRADE DRESS: USING TRADE DRESS TO PROTECT THE LOOK AND FEEL OF VIDEO GAMES BENJAMIN C.R. LOCKYER ABSTRACT With the creation of video games for smart phones, video games are some of the most accessible forms of entertainment on the market. What was once only an attraction inside the designated location of arcade halls, is now within the grip of nearly every smart phone user. With new game apps for smart phones going viral on a regular basis, the video game industry has become one of the most profitable in the entertainment realm. However, the industry's overall success has also led to increased competition amongst game developers. As a result, competing developers create near exact copies of highly successful video games called clones. By copying non-copyrightable elements, clone developers can create confusingly similar video games. This comment examines the creation of clone video games and how their developers avoid copyright infringement by exploiting scènes à faire and the merger doctrine. The exploitation of copyright law for video game developers could be combated by trademark law. By using the Lanham Act's protection for trade dress, non-copyrightable elements that identify popular games may be protected. By seeking trade dress protection against clones, game developers can sustain the value of their investment in gaming apps, while also minimizing the issue of consumer confusion.

Arifur Rahman2, Salah Uddin Ahmed1 {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]} [email protected], [email protected] Department of Computer Science American International University-Bangladesh1, Carleton University-Canada2, SCICON & TigerHATS-Bangladesh3 Abstract—Software systems are getting more complex as the Gemini delivers the source files to the code clone detector, and system grows where maintaining such system is a primary CCFinder [24] then represents the information of the detected concern for the industry. Code clone is one of the factors making code clones to the user through various GUIs. software maintenance more difficult. It is a process of replicating code blocks by copy-and-paste that is common in software Hotta et al. [32] showed a different approach on the impact of development. In the beginning stage of the project, developers clones in software maintenance activities to measure the find it easy and time consuming though it has crucial drawbacks in the long run. There are two types of researchers where some modification frequencies of the duplicated and non-duplicated researchers think clones lead to additional changes during code segments. According to their study, the presence of maintenance phase, in later stage increase the overall clones does not introduce extra difficulties in the maintenance maintenance effort. On the other hand, some researchers think phase. that cloned codes are more stable than non cloned codes. In this study, we discussed Code Clones and different ideas, methods, M. Kim et al.
