Export Quicktime MOV for Snagit Recorded Session

The issue with recoding Snagit sessions, is it puts the audio on two tracks and when uploading it to YouTube, the audio disappears.  Use VLC to see how the audio would play.  Using QuickTime to convert the video.  iMove does the same thing too, but it takes lots of resources as it imports media into it's library.

Steps to Process with QuickTime 7

  • Open Movie with Quicktime, and you are going to export the MP4 movies as a Quicktime MOV file instead.  Other formats seem to lose quite  a bit of quality
  • Audio Channels: Mono
  • Compression Typ: H.264 with Best quality (Multi-pass)

Steps to Process with iMovie

  • Combine and export audio traces of MP4 Snagit Movie with Audacity
  • Open media for both movie and audio, edit movie clip and drop audio
  • Add audio track and export the entire movie
  • Delete all off the media files and empty trash

Install SQL Developer in Ubuntu 14 in VirtualBox

When launching the SQL Developer bash script it asked for the Java location, could not find it.

If you’ve installed Java 7, and you launch SQL Developer, use this as the path, or the equivalent:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle

You can set your java_home but this does not help the above:
sudo nano /etc/environment
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle

Bonus:

Use Filter: WEB% for HAL

Look for deleted files in Git

# Example to quickly look for a deleted file
$ git log --diff-filter=D --summary | grep -i delete | grep -i barclay

Use this to find actual commit for file and you can search it like a less command
$ git log --diff-filter=D --summary

Siebel Testing

CJ, just check Siebel for SBN and is not returning the middle name…. if the middle was null it should return the tags empty, but in this case that tag is not commig. <CellPhone />

Here is a print screen from my VM that is inside HAL’s network. Haldevjbs22.

Daily Verification with Selenium

Instructions: Daily Verification HAL Booking only.pdf

Resources: daily-automation.zip

Maurice, here are the files you need to run the Daily Verification test for HAL to get your daily booking.  If the OLCI or Secondary fails, don’t worry about it.  You only need the booking number, right?  I will fix anything else that goes wrong when I get back.

If you run into trouble, you can consult with Manuel, as he has trained a little bit on this.  I have attached the document he put together for himself for running Parts 1 and 2.

You will need to install Firefox add-ons Selenium IDE, File Logging (Selenium IDE) and ScreenShot on Error (Selenium IDE).  They can all be found by clicking on Add-ons in the Firefox hamburger menu.  You may have to search for them.
