On "Cube Configuration" page of Project Server, you have the option to add enterprise fields to the cube as dimensions. When you select the option "Assignment" from the cube drop down, you are given a list of available fields to choose from. However, some of the fields are labeled with a "R__Assignment" or "T__Assignment" suffix and i can't find any documentation on what they do.
Any help would be appreciated ;).

That is really undocumented (as almost everything with the cubes). As far as I could understand it that is an acronym for the link path for the field, T standing for Task and R for Resource. Recall that assignment is a relation between tasks and resources. This only happens in the assignment cube.
I've used any of them randomly with no trouble, so I believe you can just ignore it.

I've started using GPS for coding Ada at work - does anyone have any tips for getting the best out of the IDE? or any plugins I should be aware of?
For example is there a way to enable on the fly syntax/type checking - of the sorts you get in eclipse/visual studio where errors are underlined as you go?
Also what are people's general opinions on GNAT Workbench compared to GPS?
thanks
Matt
The GPS does not have a from of background syntax checking and that is by design. The idea behind GPS is that it is the compiler who decides what code is correct and what code is not correct. It means that if you want to know if your code is correct or not you have to compile it. On a Windows computer the short cut key for that is SHIFT+F4 and will only compile the specification or body file you are currently editing. Pressing F4 will compile your whole project. You will save time by using SHIFT+F4.
Another interesting feature is that the GPS uses cross-reference (XREF) information when navigation through the code. For example, let's say you would like to find all the places in your code where a specific subprogram is called. In GPS (GNAT PRO), right click on the subprogram you are interested in a press Find references. In the GPS GNAT Libre version you don't have a menu when right clicking in your code. In this case go to the Navigate menu and click on Find references there. If the GPS does not find any references and you know that the subprogram is used in the application it means that the XREF information needs to be updated. You may compile the whole application by F4 since the XREF information will be generated along with the binary that is produced. If you go to Edit and click on Key shortcuts you can set up a short cut key to generate the XREF information only. You may also find several interesting features there that you can set up a short cut key for.
The cross-reference information (XREF) is also used for refactoring (GNAT PRO specific functionality). It often works well for changing variable and subprogram names. Just make sure the cross-reference information is up to date!
Code snippets in GPS are also useful. You use them by writing a keyword followed by CTRL+O (not zero, O as in Orwell). To see the code snippets you can choose between go to Edit and click on Aliases. You can also create your own Aliases and code snippets to become a more productive Ada Software Engineer.
Good luck!
I do not think that GPS has a form of background syntax checking like Eclipse does, at least I haven't found it.
I wrote a small sized terminal program in GPS as my first Ada program and my opinion of it is generally negative.
The browser is very confusing and it is hard to find items you are looking for.
The editor has the nasty habit of adding a column to the left and removing it dynamically based on the item under your mouse. What that does is when you are trying to select text with the mouse, your text switches right and left by one character as you move which makes precise selection a difficult thing to do
Getting in the debugger involves too many steps and it generally moves your files in the editor to the EOF position when you set breakpoints, so you will do a lot of scrolling to go back to the sections of interest.
The debugger output looks fancy with all the graphical elements but it is also cumbersome to operate.
GPS offers better help features for Ada libraries though, it's generally easier to browse the standard libraries and check them out than in Eclipse.
All in all, if Eclipse works for you, you might want to stick with it or perhaps open both on the same project and switch to GPS for things like help etc.
I had a related question out here which is on hold now (as I expect your question will soon be due to it's broad content) but I did some research and I am generally dissatisfied with what is out there in the Ada field. The language is great but it suffocates under bad tools.
One last tip: You might want to try Slick Edit as it's text editor and browsing features are quite good, although they too have flaws with Ada (for instance the beautifier).
Good luck with your venture
I'm building an application that parses text files that contain information about specific nodes with incoming ports and outgoing ports that are interconnected. Doing some research there are some libraries but none of them support the exact characteristics needed.
this is what I'm trying to build and any language will do: Python, Perl, .net, etc.
One of the libraries I have found is GoDiagaram Node Classes
http://www.nwoods.com/components/dotnet/features-nodes.htm
The idea is to have boxes like so, interconnected and I should be able to click on one of them and link it to a new sub-diagram with more boxes contained in the one clicked.
Is there a counter part of these kind of charts that is opensource? and do these diagrams have a specific kind of name?
I don't know any specific details, since I never looked into this too closely, but here are some potential directions:
The data structure used for representing something like this is usually a graph (probably a directed graph). You could also try searching for graphical (or visual) programming languages. I seem to remember Pure Data as one that was relevant, but I never looked at it in detail.
Blender and VirtualDub both have a mode that's similar to this (the node editor and audio filters, respectively) and I believe both are open source, although I think neither has the option of having the nodes contain other nodes internally.
You could just use LabVIEW, which gives you the ability to create and edit LV code programmatically (search for "VI scripting"), but the code for that might not be very pretty and it's certainly not open source.
I am working on proof of concept project that is an augmented reality based navigation system. Basically, it is supposed to provide users a video of real scene with additional navigational signs that are created with the use of GPS location.
The thing I need to do is not a complete useful system but rather a proof of concept. There were mainly two tasks that I had to do. First real image of the scene is processed to determine the road in it, and with the use of GPS I will place the navigational sign like turn right, go straight on the road. The challenge I have here is how i can fetch the required navigation information. I considered Google Maps Api but it requires you to have your google host. I also made some research about how to get directions from it, but it seems that results are not very well structured for my purposes. I mean I need something like having a certain number of outputs and rigorously defined (e.g. turn right, turn left, etc) but its output is very unstructured. How do you think I can achieve this task. Thanks for any help.
This Link might help for Google Map Location extraction
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/streetview
You can use Layar , or other available AR sdks(Metaio, QUalcomm also provide one ) for AR related Overlays
Good luck !
I'm currently looking for a way to make a dynamic checklist-type document for my job to be used for software upgrades. Right now, we have a generic Word checklist that has all the steps for upgrading a client's software, but due to its nature, not all steps apply to each client, and to list all possible options would make it difficult to navigate and difficult to use, which goes against its purpose.
What I'm looking for is a way to input information (checkboxes, drop-downs, and text fields), and based on that information, produce a list of tasks in some format that is user-readable. For example, if I check one box to indicate that they have a certain feature installed, then add 3 items to the task list.
Is InfoPath the right tool for the job, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
From what you describe, I'd say InfoPath is a very good choice for your project. My first thought would be to work in two different views. The first view would be for your people to input the information about what features are installed (there can be hidden content that only shows if certain answers are given, making it less unwieldy than your Word form). Then I'd have another view designed for printing out and giving to the client, containing only the task list info derived from the data in the first view. Bark away!
For some reason we still don't have this feature yet. We can make it work using zip codes, but how about City or State? The Views set of Modules are great and I would love to see Proximity Search options expanded. There are requests for this in the Drupal forums: http://drupal.org/node/489904 but that thread has been stagnant for months. The "fix" is inconsistent and no longer works on my end, using Views and Location series modules. Does anyone know a workaround to this issue? The custom module shown in Drupal forum worked at some point with limitations, but now its no longer displaying any search results. Trying to hit this from any angle -- have the US zipcodes in MySQL database for the former configuration; have Apache SOLR ready to go; even got Spatial SOLR ready to go if that ever picks up. Any help much appreciated.
I think one of the problems is city names are not necessarily unique. (zips are)
You could have the same city in different states.
For states, it's even less reliable because their area can vary a great deal and proximity search around a state would be very unreliable for states which don't have circular shapes.
So the module should have an extra step showing "did you mean.." results in case there are more returned (if possible).
I don't believe there is a workaround, it will require some coding to implement this in views.
I would start in location.views.inc around line #493, adapting the logic for the current zipcode handler. Look for the location_latlon_rough function in location.inc.
May be you have to try geoname module im not sure you should try

Give a try
