Have started making use of the Notes app on the iPad, and was annoyed that I'd left a particular note ( my book list ) on the iPad, which was safely at home whilst I was out book-shopping with my iPhone.
Having enabled iCloud on both devices, I'd assumed that the notes would magically pass through the ether from one device to another.
However, I've subsequently learned that that is ONLY the case for NEW notes i.e. ones created AFTER the iCloud integration was enabled.
This discussion thread on the Apple site helped me here: -
Only notes that you created after you set up your iCloud account will sync btw your iPad and iPhone.
If you have a number of notes that you want to sync, copy the text and paste into a new note. Then delete the old one. A little tedious, but works.

and, more importantly, this: -

I found a good way to do this (on a Mac, I don't know about Windows):
1) First you'll need to sync your iPhone/iPad with iTunes. Make sure you've checked the box to "Sync Notes" under "Other" on the "Info" panel of you device. Also, make sure to uncheck the box for "Replace information on this phone" in the "Advanced" pane and resolve any conflicts properly.
2) Once your notes are identical on your computer and your iPhone/iPad, open up Mail.app on your COMPUTER and scroll down your accounts tab on the left (panel may be hidden by default) until you find the "Reminders" section. You should have a "Notes" section that has several accounts. Mine had notes from a Gmail acct, "On My Mac", and "iCloud".
3) Merge all the notes from the "On My Mac" acct and any others you need by selecting them all and dragging them to the "iCloud" acct. Once you're sure they're there, check back on your device that all your notes are now populating in the "iCloud" acct. (this may take 30 secs or so.)
4) Optional: I then deleted the gmail notes folder and the "On My Mac" folder to make sure any new notes would be created in the iCloud acct. I don't know if this will work or not.
5) Fianally, I deleted all the notes from the other accounts on my iPhone. I had to do this one at a time, which sucked, but someone my find a faster way. All I know is it works.
</snip>
For me, with a small number of notes, steps (1) and (2) did the job - once I enabled Notes to sync from the iPad via iTunes, they were immediately available in the Mac mail app, and also on the iPhone ( perhaps because I'd previously set Notes to sync ).
I then created a new note on the iPad, and can see it on the iPhone.
What is important when monitoring IBM Business Process Manager at the infrastructure level?
Mon, May 13th 2013 8:45a Dave Hay Again, this popped up in my Twitter stream of consciousness, thanks to @IBM_BPM : - In my customer engagements, I am often asked the following questions: • What metrics should we use to monitor the infrastructure for our IBM Business Process Manager environment? • What key metrics should I always look at to prevent the environment from becoming unavailable? • Which actions should be taken in case the metric threshold is exceeded or when receiving an alert by running out of service?

Top 6 mistakes in IBM Business Process Manager installations
Tue, May 7th 2013 7:09a Dave Hay Let's play a game of word association. What subject comes to mind with the words "engaging" and "terrifying"? Whatever you are thinking, I suspect it wasn't IT security. Yet those very words describe J Keith Wood and Jens Engelke's new IBM Redbooks publication. In it, they share their experiences of working with IBM customers around the world on securing IBM Business Process Manager solutions. Security pitfalls are everywhere and the stakes could not be higher. This blog post is part of [read] Keywords: ibm

Slow but steady success with Oracle 11g R2
Thu, Apr 25th 2013 7:05a Dave Hay I'm on my second installation of Oracle 11g R2, having previously installed it using the GUI. This time around I've used a response file to install the product ( see below )via the command: - ./runInstaller -silent -responseFile response/db_install.rsp and all seems OK so far. I did hit a few challenges: - (i) I don't appear to have the oracle_env.sh script anywhere on my box, meaning that the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID aren't set up. I manually created the script: - oracle_env.sh ORACLE_HO [read] Keywords: ibm
