Best XI solution

I have to create various XML files importing data from differnet RFC functions and XSL files. Then when I finished the XML files I have to integrate all the information in one unique XML file that is the source for my external MRP.
I have developed the different RFC functions to get the information in SAP and I have the XSL files saved as txt files in a shared directory where XI can acces.
Now I have to design the XI solution that calls the different RFC's and reads XSL files, to create different XML files and finally create the XML output file.
But I have very limited knowledge in XI and I don't know which is the best way to do this.
How can I start the process of generating the XML files? How can for example call 2 different RFCs and collect the data in one simple XML? Have I to use BPM?
One solution that I have thought is create 1 RFC in SAP R/4 that calls all the rest RFC's and reads all de XSL files and then sends the information to XI. But then I don't know how to generate 1 more than file with the information. And I think that my solution is not very efficient...

hi,
iam putting your question into two parts from my under standing .
1 for reading all xsl file u can write a rfc in r/3 system ,wht you thinking.
then put all xsl files in share dirctory of xi, from there using file adapter (nfs) ,then xi convert all files into xml .
2 now u can use file to rfc scenerio for 2nd xml, in this u can use bPM concept also .
dont see for efficiency right now , think for solution only.
regards.

Is DLT the best backup solution?

Hi,
I am curious to know what people use as a good backup for their FCP projects and footage. I know DLT is recommended for outputting DVD projects - but are there better options? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

DLT is the dinosaur of the industry. Rock solid, totally dependable. The reasons it's still used for DVD replication are not associated with any reasons why you'd want to use DLT for backing up your FCP projects. DVD replication is an entirely different industry.
DLT would not be efficient for video offloading in the slightest. Linear and long. But, as said, utterly bombproof and relatively inexpensive. if you have a couple of DLT machines and lots of cart,, you can certainly use them for offloading your FCP media. But "best"? Not at all. There is no single best backup solution, only what works for your budget and workflow. Hot swap RAIDs, cheap FW drives, optical, DVD-ROM, even installing and removing ATA drives in your Mac; they're all viable.

Best storage solution for FCP HDV projects?

What is the best storage solution for Final Cut Pro HDV projects (i.e. internal or external drives, SCSI, external firewire drives, etc.)?

Don't forget you can also use the "Send to Tape" command to send your footage back to miniDV HDV tape. This isn't the ultimate solution, but is a good way to cheaply "backup" large projects to inexpensive tape without killing your drive storage with every project.
Here's a new feature request for Media Manager... Forget that. I'll start a new post for it.

What's the best storage solution for a large iLife? RAID? NAS?

I'm looking for an affordable RAID storage solution for my Time Machine, iTunes Library, iMovie videos, and iPhoto Library. To this point I've been doing a hodgepodge of external hard drives without the saftey of redundancy and I've finaly been bitten with HD failures. So I'm trying to determine what would be the best recommendation for my scenario. Small Home Office for my wife's business (just her), and me with all our media. I currentlty have a mid-2010 Mac Mini (no Thunderbolt), she has an aging 2007 iMac and 2006 MacBook Pro (funny that they're all about the same benchmark speed). We have an AppleTV (original), iPad2 and two iPhone 4S's.
1st Question: Is it better to get a RAID and connect it to my Airport Extreme Base Station USB port as a shared disk? OR to connect it directly to my Mac Mini and share through Home Sharing? OR Should I go with a NAS RAID?
2nd Question: Simple is Better. Should I go with a Mac Mini Server and connect drives to it? (convert my Mac Mini into a server) or Should I just get one of those nice all-in-one 4-bay RAID drive solutions that I can expand with?
Requirements:
1. Expandable and Upgradeable. I don't want something limited to 2TB drives, but as drives get bigger and cheaper I want to easily throw one in w/o concerns.
2. Simple integration with Time Machine and my iLife: iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto. If iTune's Home Sharing feature is currently the best way of using my media across multiple devices then why mess with it? I see "DLNA certified" storage on some devices and wonder if that would just add another layer of complexity I don't need. One more piece to make compatible.
3. Inexpensive. I totally believe in the "You Get What You Pay For" concept. But I also realize sometimes I'm buying marketing, not product. I imagine that to start, I'm going to want a diskless system (because of $$$) to throw all my drives into, and then upgrade bigger drives as my data and funds grow.
4. Security. I don't know if its practical, but I like the idea of being able to pop two drives out and put them in my safe and then pop them back in once a week for the backup/mirroring. I like this idea because I'm concerned that onsite backup is not always the safest. Unfortunately those cloud based services aren't designed for Terabytes of raw family video, or an entire media library that isn't wholey from the iTunes Store. I can't be the only one facing this challenge. Surely there's an affordable way to keep a safe backup for the average Joe. But what is it?
5. Not WD. I've had bad experiences with Western Digital drives, and I loathe their consumer packaged backup software that comes preloaded on their external drives. They are what I meant when I say you get what you pay for. Prettily packed garbage.
6. Relatively Fast. I have put all my media on an external drive before (back when it fit on one drive) and there's noticeable spool-up hang time. Thunderbolt's nice and all, but so new that its not easily available across devices, nor is it cheap. eSata is not really an option. I love Firewire but I'm getting the feeling that Apple has made it the red-headed step-child of connections. USB 3.0 looks decent, but like eSata, Apple doesn't recognize it exists. Where does that leave us? Considering this dilemma I really liked Seagate's GoFlex external drives because it meant I could always buy a new base and still be compatible. But that only works with single drives. And as impressive as Seagate is, we can't expect them to consistently double drive sizes every two years like they have been -cool as that may be.
So help me out without getting too technical. What's the best setup? Is it Drobo? Thecus? ReadyNAS? Seagate's BlackArmor? Or something else entirely?
All comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am currently using WD 2TB Thunderbolt hard drive for my iTunes, which i love and is works great. i am connected directly to my Mac Book Pro. I am running low on Memory and thinking of buying a bigger Hard drive. My question is should I buy 6TB thunderbolt HD or 6TB NAS drive to work solely for iTunes. I have home sharing enabled for my Apple TV
I also have my time capsule connected just as back up only.

What's the best overall solution for managing books and eBooks?

I have a lot of eBooks (in .mobi and PDF format). I'd like to find a solution (software/system/scheme) such that
1) The actual content syncs to several devices (Mac, iPad, iPhone) and can be read even when network is not present.
2) There is a searchable, convenient database of what books are there.
3) The database can be added to by barcode scanning the ISBN tag
4) Some entries in the database are linked to full content. That is, I'd enter books that I have in electronic format, but also books from my library that exist only in paper form.
I'm looking for a total solution to manage all my books - list them all, plus enable ready access to the content for the ones I have. I'd like to have it sync to several devices. What's the best system - anyone have it set up like this? What's the best reader, database app, and way to hang it all together (with iTunes?). Thanks in advance,
Mike

Arranging fields in a table-like form: best-Practice-Solution wanted

Hello Experts,
I´m wondering if there exists a 'best practice' considering how to arrange fields in a table-like form.
I know about cross-tables, but that´s not what we need. Most of the requirements that I have come to known are just that certain fields should be put in a certain order in a table-like outfit.
We have tried to do this using the drawing functions (e.g. putting a square around the fields and certain border styles), but it often happens that the lines overlap or there are breaks between the lines, so that you have to do a lot of manual configuration with the 'table'.
Since this is a requirement I´ve come upon with many reports, I can´t believe that this is supposed to be the best solution for this.
I don´t understand why there isn´t a table-like element in Crystal Reports to use for this. E.g. put a table with x rows and y columns in the header or group head section section and then just put the fields in it.
Many thanks in advance for your help !

Hi Frank,
You can use build in templates available in Template expert.
Click on Report menu-> Template Expert.
Select the desired template. ( Table grid template would suite best here) and click OK.
There is no facility of inserting a table directly as you said. You will have to do it manually by using lines and boxes.
Hope this is helpful.

Best Practice / Solutions for using 11g DB+x86 or Small Computer to build iaas/paas?

My customer wants to build their own iaas/paas using Oracle 11g DB, plus x86 or other small computer, running Linux or Solaris or Unix OS.
Oracle Exadata is not feasible for them to use currently.
Customer wants to know whether there are other customers have implemented their cloud solution based on these or not?
If yes, would like to share the experience, presentation slides, best practices etc.
Is there an Oracle email DL for asking this kind of question?
Thanks,
Boris

Like Rick, I'm not aware of a specific "cloud implementors forum". Internally, Oracle has lots of material on implementing cloud, using any platform at all, although obviously we feel Engineered Systems are the most cost-effective solution for many customers. Are you interested in IaaS i.e. virtualised hardware, or PaaS i.e. DBaaS? They should not be confused, neither is required for the other, in fact, using IaaS to implement "DBaaS", as the OpenStack trove API attempts to do, is probably the most counter-productive way to go about it. Define the business-visible services you will be offering, and then design the most efficient means of supporting them. That way you gain from economies of scale, and set up appropriate management systems that address issues like patching, security, database virtualisation and so on.

Best email solution for the iPhone

After having messed with this since Friday, I've concluded that GMail is the best solution for iPhone email as of today. Let me explain.
Yahoo Push would be the best if I could specify a different reply-to address. As it stands now, having my emails come from a @yahoo.com address is not acceptable. It seems Yahoo IMAP is the only IMAP that supports push (a marketing decision apparently moreso than a technical one), so push is out until Yahoo or Apple come to their senses.
AT&T is not offering any email options through their service. I used to have mymmode email but that was years ago, and cingularme is down for some reason. Apparently AT&T wants your money for your voice business, but take your email needs elsewhere.
Enter GMail. IF you configre GMail using the GMail option on the iPhone, it forces a @gmail.com address too. However, you can use the Other option and configure using the GMail incoming server (pop.gmail.com), and you can specify the user name ([email protected]) but a different address ([email protected]).
Now, this seems to work only if you use an outgoing server OTHER than GMail's (smtp.gmail.com). During my testing I sent an email and it seemed to come from [email protected] even though I had specified a different address in the Address field. I did not test much as I have another outgoing email option.
As I have Verizon FIOS at home, I can use my outgoing.verizon.net server authenticating using my Verizon.net address. The added bonus here is that it works in either WiFi or Edge, as Verizon's server doesnt care where you are as long as you authenticate.
My email IDs are overrun with SPAM and GMails SPAM filters are excellent. this has the added bonus of cutting down on unwanted email on the iPhone.
Thoughts?

I am essentially doing the same thing for my Exchange account, which SMTP server can't be reached while off of the campus. I use AT&T's own SMTP server for wireless (cwmx.com, I think), and it doesn't change my From: address, so it shows as though I sent it from my campus's Exchange server. Very handy indeed!

Best Backup Solution for WAN

What is the best -according to you- failover WAN solution for hub-and-spoke design network, the central office and all the other sites (10 total) will be within 50 miles, has anyone been faced with same decision making issue? Primary circuits will be PPP T1's, what about the secondaries? Thanks much in advance!

If you can afford other dedicated T1s, of course use T1s. If you can't afford T1s, use dial on demand, for example ISDN(BRI/PRI). You really need to assess the amount of data that need to be sent over the backup link.

Best Practice Solution with 2 Internet Connections

Good day everyone,
We used to have single ADSL connections at our clients that provide the internet connection for the network. We have recently partnered up with a Fiber provider and are slowly busy rolling out Fiber connections at our clients. We are also offering redundancy
with the ADSL connection as a back up for the Fiber connection.
I would like to know if anyone has suggestions as to what would be the best practise configuration on various Windows Server platforms to make this possible? The idea is that if the Fiber connection fails (for whatever reason) that the ADSL connection takes
over. This must be an automated process.
I am open for any form of suggestions.
Thanks for your time.
Rudi

Hi,
Our current solution is to have to NICs and have both connect to the server. They then have 2 different IPs and we have the DHCP give out the IP as the gateway. The only problem with that is that we cannot control the automated change of gateway IP if the
main connection fails.
We are also willing to look into other hardware solutions that could control this.

Best email solution in Windows

I am a Mac guy, but my wife wants to stick with Windows XP. So be it. Currently I have a pop mail client that I network in my home, and she likes the ability to get the mail from any of the computers. She is now interested in an iPhone. I am trying to figure out the best way to allow syncing of all the data between the phone, contacts, and mail. She has a pop account with SBCGlobal. There is no imap with them. So, it looks to me like the best way to go is for her to use the webmail interface for the computers, rather than the email clients, and then use the mail client on the iPhone. When doing this, can you see all the mail, including the sent mail? Any other ideas for a good solution? I know that the iPhone will sync with Outlook, but I don't want to use Outlook for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the inability to network it with the other computers. What are others doing? Any ideas here?

OK, so if I use an IMAP enabled account (which sbc sadly does not provide), then I can use that to sync mail across multiple computers and the iPhone with an IMAP compliant client, such as Thunderbird.
Correct.
Yahoo provides a free account for iPhone customers which can be accessed as an IMAP account with the iPhone's email client but this account cannot be accessed with an email client on a computer. On a computer this account can be accessed via webmail only.
When sending a message with an IMAP account with the iPhone's email client or with any email client, it is placed in the account's Sent mailbox after the message is successfully sent which is stored on the server. There is an account preference setting to store the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes/message on the server with the email client used to access the account.
There have been a number of reports here regarding problems with Yahoo email accounts but not with a Gmail account.
A Gmail account can be accessed as an IMAP account with the email client on your computer such as with Thunderbird and as an IMAP account with the iPhone's email client, Gmail includes a good spam filter on the server and can be accessed via webmail using a browser as with any other account and is free. The free Yahoo account for the iPhone sends advertisements in the footer of the message which cannot be turned off and Gmail does not.
The iPhone includes a Gmail preset when creating the account with the iPhone's email client. Selecting the Gmail preset creates the account as an IMAP account - enter in the name, email address and account password and the incoming and outgoing mail server settings are set up automatically.
I would opt for a free Gmail account over a Yahoo account.

Best charging solution for multiple iPod Touches?

We have 1 iMac desktop computer and 4 G2 iPod touches. I want to know the best way to charge them. The kids want chargers for their rooms, so a recommendation for wall chargers would be good. I thought a hub with 4 usb ports might work, but would it have enough power to do the job?
Any solutions appreciated. Thank You!

Best backup solution besides Time Machine?

I want to get a 4tb drive and use it to backup multiple drives in my Macpro. I sometimes swap out drives in the Mac, so some of the drives i want to backup may not be in the Mac during a given backup but may be the next time, and I don't think this will work with Time Machine. What is the best software for backing up everything across multiple drives?
Thanks.

SOLMAN with India Baseline Best Practice solution

Hello,
With India Baseline best practice solutin route, you need to go-thru the activation process which creates the configuration objects for the selected scenarios. How can i integrate this process with SOLMAN in place as I understand in SOLMAN base project implementation we need to create a project & do the configuration via SOLMAN for individual nodes.

Best (cheapest) solution for older Mac

I have a Mac Core Duo and 10.6.8. I am quite happy with it apart from the fact that I am unable to upgrade to the latest photo editing software. I can use Lightroom 3 but need LR4 to process raw files from my Olympus EM5. My other choice of software would be DxO Optics but again my poor old Mac won't support it. I have tried the software that comes from Olympus but I just don't like it. I can't really justify spending a whole load of money to buy a new Mac for this reason alone. The best solution would be to find some other software that will run on my system that will fill my needs. Are there any photographers on here that could recommend something? I did think about maybe getting a Mac Mini and just using it for photo editing but I don't know much about them. Could I use it with the screen of my present iMac. Would they play happily together? Or, sell this Mac, buy a Mac Mini and a good display monitor?
I'd be more than grateful for any advice.
Thanks

A new computer will come with OS 10.8.3, and some of your older apps simply will not run.
Here's a good list:
