I just saw the message after I submitted an update for my app
If your submission needs to be tested, it will take us up to 5 business days to make sure it meets your certification requirements. If not, within a few hours, you can either publish it yourself or it will go live automatically if you chose to automatically publish it. We’ll send you an email once it’s been processed or if we have additional questions.
How can I say that I don't want to be tested. It's a bug fix update that I just sent and I want to publish my app as soon as possible.
Don't worry with this message, because it's a default information that is shown after an app is updated. If you only change the price, for example, your app doesn't need be recertified, however if you change other characteristics how the markets, code, ... so it'll be tested again.

I am using HP Project and Portfolio Management(PPM) tool and I am adding a custom field in my request type which has date as value. Now my requirement is to send the email notifications to the users once the date mentioned in the custom field crosses the system date.
I had tried to set the notification for field level from Notification tab but not getting the custom fields in the list. All the fields, which is available, are pre-configured fields.
So, can anyone suggest me how to implement this requirement? And also where the changes need to be done If any required to implement this?
Please answer in detail and also reply soon.
Thanks in advance!!
PPM notifications can be configured on pre-defined events, like a certain transition, or timeout etc...
One possible solution for this scenario is to have timeouts on your decision step. Time out goes to an execution step, which checks for the date condition. If the condition is met it fires the notification. Else it just returns to the original decision step.
The downside of this work around is that there will be transaction details added once daily. Also the last update date of the request keeps updating daily, which is not ideal if you want to track what was the last time an end user update the request.
It is a workaround cause of the restrictions around notification events.
And if you have a large workflow, I would not recommend this work around.
Rearrange inventory of specific game in steam? is it possible or not?
I checked steamworks and steam api for some information but there is nothing about it, only getting items not changing positions.
There is not an API for this functionality. There is, however, a pull request to the (TF2 centric) SteamBot application that adds this functionality to that project. One thing to be aware of, though, is that this pull request is 7 months old and hasn't been merged in by the project developers. In that time, Valve has made changes that required SteamBot changes due to underlying Steam network changes. This request may or may not work any more. It may give you an idea of what needs to be done.
I'm using ABAddressBookRegisterExternalChangeCallback to receive notifications when my address book database changes. My app allows users to edit a person's contact info. However, it takes forever for the callback to be invoked. For instance, in one case it 30 seconds. I need it to happen immediately! How do I go about doing this? Has anyone else experienced this issue using ABAddressBookRegisterExternalChangeCallback?
I'm trying to decouple some of the bits of our big-ball-of-mud architecture, and identified several boundaries that are obvious candidates for using CQRS to provide a more resilient and scalable solution.
Typical example: when a customer places an order, at the moment we block their thread whilst the order is submitted for payment, approved by the sales system, etc, etc.
This can all be handled asynchronously - allowing us to accept and queue orders whilst the payment processing system is unavailable, etc. - but I'm not sure how I should manage the UI data for the customer.
In other words - they place an order. Their order goes in a queue. If they log back into their account five seconds later and click "review orders" - what happens?
If I draw it from the central repo (or from a cache that's updated based on that repo), then the user won't see their order and will probably try and place it again - or phone us and panic.
If I draw it from a local database, then I have the overhead of maintaining another database of orders - which will need to be synchronised in a load-balanced environment, and seems to undermine a lot of the advantages of CQRS.
I want to do this in lots of places - and not all of them are actions as significant as confirming an order; in some cases it's as simple as a customer changing a phone number or something - so they're not all cases where I can just say "thanks a lot, we'll send you a confirmation e-mail" - because sending confirmation e-mails for every modification to a record strikes me as a little excessive.
Any patterns or solutions I should look at to help with this?
Something worth considering is a 'user' inbox: a place in your app the user can consult 'in-progress' commands at. You could also 'push' notifications back to the user's UI when he has already moved onto another screen, but still resides in your app. This might also be an option when the user logs back on.
Another option could be faking the synchronous experience, i.e. wait around and do polling while in the background everything happens asynchronously. Granted, this might involve including timeouts as well, but I'd argue that those are embraced in today's synchronous processing as well.
On top of all this, you may want to both inform and solicit feedback from your end users about how they experience your app and its behavior.
Regardless what anybody tells you, if you want to handle this elegantly, it will take some effort on your part.
The best thing to do is lie!
The user should have no idea that their transaction is in fact a little like Schrödinger's cat, either dead or alive. From their perspective the transaction was a success, because you just indicate to them that it was successful and queue the job away for offline processing.
Because the vast majority of transactions are successful you can then handle those that are not with an appropriate compensationary mechanism.
Insignificant cases, like modification of some record:
Send the user to a confirmation page telling him something around the lines of "Thanks, your input is being processed. What do you want to do next?" and a couple of links.
If you absolutely have to send the user back to the edited record or a list thereof, in non-distributed systems we're probably talking about milliseconds until the read store has been updated. As long as it takes longer to redirect the user to the new page, from the user's POV everything's fine.
If in some cases the user actually doesn't see his update "immediately", he might call user support. They tell him to hit F5. What? It's there now? Great! Guess what he does next time before reaching for the phone.
Significant cases like offline order processing:
There might be an implicit concept of a Received Order or Pending Order in your domain. If you make this concept explicit, you can present the user with accurate information.
"Thank you very much! Your order has been received an we'll keep you updated once it has been shipped. [Click here] to see a list of your pending orders..."
I think the simplest thing, doing nothing, can often be good enough. If user changes phone number, and the system processes this command in 1-2s, it is a good chance user has not had the opportunity to see old data in-between this operation.
If that is not satisfactory, and your user must absolutely know that his request was fulfilled, your UI can subscribe to domain events. Once the command is executed successfully, your UI gets notification and can inform the user. There are various ways you could do this in UI. You could simply block until the success notification arrives. Or you can say "we received your request", and once you get confirmation, show the notification window "your request was fulfilled" somewhere in the corner.
I am looking for a way or a plugin so that trac sends me email about the number of new or closed tickets (and some information about these tickets also ) for a specific duration lets say for the last three days.
Basically I need to know how many tickets have been created in last week and how many of them have been closed at the end of week.
Of course the email only should be sent to the admin and not to all the users.
For additional Trac funcionality we have Trac plugins, yes. And the first place to look for them is trac-hacks.org .
The excellent TagsPlugin in use overthere already delivers some hints on resources tagged with notification or notifications. The most comprehensive and mature solution is certainly TracAnnouncer with a just reworked configuration interface providing a highly sophisticated opt-in and opt-out subscription system. Unfortunately digest notification are not integrated today.
Still there are other plugins, that fill in the gap, i.e. check the XMailPlugin. It claims to do configurable instant, daily and weekly notifications, so this may be for you. Since this is a relativly new plugin, you should expect some pending issues, but the author might be very open to your suggestion. If you're becoming a heavy user giving valuable test feedback and a bit lucky too, asking kindly could be enought to make things happen.
There's a slightly different way to solve this problem that doesn't require any plugins. First, create a custom "timeline" view that displays the information that you want. In your example, this would be all "opened and closed tickets" starting from "today" and going back three days. When viewing this custom view, you should see a link at the bottom of the page that says "RSS Feed" (on my system, the resulting URL looks something like this: http://myserver/timeline?ticket=on&max=50&authors=&daysback=3&format=rss). Click on this link to subscribe to the feed using your web browser, email client, or other program capable of reading feeds. Now, you can view the results live at any time. What you can do at this point is only limited by the capabilities of your feed reader app, but most can at least be configured to notify you when the feed is updated.
