Novice with a 3 basic questions

Hi, I just got done ripping a hundred or so of my cds to itunes (to put on an ipod I will be buying soon). I have two basic questions:
1)does it matter which rate I ripped them at? I did it at 320 but its eating up memory like nobody's business. If I rip at 192 is the sound quality noticably different?
1) It does matter what rate you rip them at. There are several things that ripping at a higher kbps will do - as you said, it will eat up storage like nobody's business, and it will also eat up battery life. This is because at a higher kbps, the songs take up more space. Therefore, more space=more searching/buffering for the Ipod, and shorter battery life. The sound quality will only be noticable if you have an extremely high fidelity system that you are playing it through. Using headphones, there is not that much of an audible difference, at least not to me. Use the 192 setting - that is what I ripped mine at and they sound great.
2) if 192 will work is there anyway to convert the albums I've already ripped at 320 to 192 or will I have to rerip them?
2) I am personally not aware of a feature that will allow you to do this, but as you can see, this is my first post and I have only had Ipod for about a week. I do not believe that you can do this; I think you need to re-rip them.
3) I want to have about 700 albums on my ipod. Does anyone know generally how big an ipod I should get for that?
3) For 192 kbps and 700 albums (averaging about 15 songs) you will definately need the 60 Gig Ipod. I have the 30 Gig and have about 200 and it is almost half full, so about 400 give or take on the 60 Gig.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

Please help me with this very basic question!

Hi all,
I m new to O/R mapping framework, my question is quite simple. Is iBatis an Object Relational Mapping technique? If it is, which one is better, iBatis or OJB?
Thank your for your help!
best regards

Yes it is.
"Which is better" is always a bad question. It depends how you intend to use them. Plus there are quite a lot of other ORM solutions, so even if one were objectively better than the other, it might still be a poor choice.

Generating DLL with LabVIEW - A basic question

Hi everybody !
I'm trying to generate a simple DLL with LV. I have read as much as I could on the subject, prepared a small test vi (calculate x*x), built the corresponding dll, inserted and configured the ddl into another vi... Every thing seems to be fine, except that the ddl returns 0 whatever I'm doing.
I'm obviously missing something here, and I would be very gratefull if somebody could guide me out of this stupid corner.

Hi Chrisger & Becktho !
Thanks for your replies.
Unfortunately I'm still stuck.
First thing is that I followed already exactly the path develepped by Chrisger. I also tried changing the calling convention as suggestedc by Becktho. No success.
Second thing is that the ddl provided by Chrisger works perfectly (sorry Becktho, you just forgot the attachment...). At least that's something that shows I'm not entirely stupid, since I'm able to use a DDL compiled by someone else !
So, this seems to be a problem related to the way I am generating the DLL. Just in case, I have attached here the files I'm using (the source, the .bld file, and the generated DLL. Could you give them a look/trial ?

Possibly a very basic question but I have set up a spread sheet in Numbers and have viewed help videos but I can't get it to give me sums for the columns I highlight. Keeps coming up with the figure zero. I have version 09 2.3(554). Can anyone help

Possibly a very basic question but I am going nowhere without a solution. I have set up a spreadsheet in Numbers but it won't give me sums for chosen columns. I have viewed the run through videos and used the formula but nothing happens apart from giving a figure of zero or a red arrow. The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total as I understand from the video that you can drag whatever total is here onto the relevent position on your spreadsheet. I have Numbers 09 version 2.3 (554). Can anyone advise. Thanks.

Hi Sohojools,
To sum a column, use a formula such as this one in Cell A6
Type this in a cell below your data:
=SUM(A2:A4) or whatever range of cells you want to sum. The easy way is to type:
=SUM(
and then drag or shift-click to select the range of cells. Close the formula with a final bracket ")".
The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total
To see the sum (and other simple statistics) in the bottom left, select a range of cells. That tells Numbers which cells you are refering to.
The videos are good, but the Numbers'09 User guide, and the Formulas and Functions User Guide are better. Download them from the Help Menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Ian.

Basic Questions on BOBJ inrelation with BI

Hi,
I am working in SAP BI 2004s. I have few basic questions on BOBJ.
1. What is Rapid Mart? Is it an ETL tool? If so is it set to replace existing BI extractors from ECC (R3)?
2. when data is extracted thru Bussiness Obejcts rapid mart where the data will be stored? BI Info Cubes? or any data ware house tables?.
3. If stored in BI InfoCubes, should universe to be created for the cubes? if so, each dimesnion will be treated like a table to create joins?
4. Can I automate the result of WebI downloaded to excel to Excelcius Dashboard with any manual steps involved? in otherwords Xcelcius shows the chart or dashboard out of the WebI query result.
( I am trying to see how all these products work. In 2004s I use WAD and call individual queries to generate a dashboard)
Thanks,
Alex.

Hi,
1. What is Rapid Mart? Is it an ETL tool? If so is it set to replace existing BI extractors from ECC (R3)?
A Rapid MArt is a pre-designed set of database schemas, universes and reports from BusinessObjects. Available for SAP ERP as well. Details can be found here : http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/large/intelligenceplatform/im/data-integration/rapidmarts/index.epx
2. when data is extracted thru Bussiness Obejcts rapid mart where the data will be stored? BI Info Cubes? or any data ware house tables?.
When it is a Rapid Mart then it is a relational database but the tool - Data Services - can also load to other targets like BW.
3. If stored in BI InfoCubes, should universe to be created for the cubes? if so, each dimesnion will be treated like a table to create joins?
You can create multi dimensional universes and relational universes on top of BW. Depends on your goal really.
4. Can I automate the result of WebI downloaded to excel to Excelcius Dashboard with any manual steps involved? in otherwords Xcelcius shows the chart or dashboard out of the WebI query result.
( I am trying to see how all these products work. In 2004s I use WAD and call individual queries to generate a dashboard)
Yes - possible.
perhaps you can provide a little bit more on what you trying to achieve and then I can point you to more specific information.

Basic questions from techie thicko with 'new' G4

I've looked but can't find the answers to these basic questions.
My new (reconditioned) computer as below came with just the operating systems and something called 'Cloner' plus some Utilities.
A) What is the best way to switch between OSX and Classic?
(It defaults to X on start-up and I can get to X from Classic by re-starting pressing 'x'. If that's the right way to do it, what is the approved way of getting into Classic?)
B) I'm not sure (after reading about it!) what I can do with Cloner and how.
C) I have AppleWorks on OS9. Can I update this for OSX? Failing this, is there a Software Download that will give me a basic DTP facility until I can afford to buy an advanced programme? I also have Pagemaker 7 in Classic.
D) I have been transferring stuff to Classic from my iMac DV 9.2.2 with my card reader and this seems to work well. Anything to watch out for?
There's more but I can't impose on members' kindness too much!
For future reference, is it possible to post pictures on these boards and if so how please? I have Photoshop and hosting sites.
Sorry to be a pain but I really am an idiot about techie stuff.
Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure what Cloner does. It sounds as if it may clone the hard drive, a bit like Carbon Copy Cloner:
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
I'm wondering whether it was just used to put the operating systems and utilites onto the drive in the first place when they reconditioned the computer. Perhaps they use a 'master' drive and just clone it to the drives in the computers they're reconditioning, rather than installing everything separately and repeatedly.
I think version 6 of AppleWorks runs under both OS 9 and OS X natively. If you have an earlier version, I'm not sure whether it's a free downloadable upgrade or whether you have to pay for it.
I'm sure the card reader works fine, although you could network the two computers together with an ethernet cable and create a small network. With two computers you just need a crossover cable to create a crossover network:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106658
If you're thinking of keeping your iMac, that may be a better long term solution. You could then use the iMac as your OS 9 machine and the PowerMac as your OS X machine if you wanted to.

Basic question, how to create rtf template with a given xml file

Hello guys
I am new to BI publisher and I am learning how to create rtf templates using given xml fiel definitions by following the bi publisher guide
The steps I am following is:
1, create template using template builders, which is downloaded into MS words.
2, In the empty template, map the xml columns with template field using BI publisher tag
3, upload the template to BI Publisher as a layout.
That's all I can understand.
My question is:
1,in which above step do I import XML file into template builder (if not bi publisher), how to do so?
2,After template is created, how to associate this template layout with existing reports in BI Publisher, or is it necessary at all?
3,In the template content in MS Word template builder, what should I enter other than BI publisher tags for mapping XML field to desired template field
Or, if my understand of this process is entirely wrong, what's the right process of creating rtf template with a given XML file definition
Thanks

If you have a BI Publisher desktop installed, have a look a the demos,.. should answer most of your basic questions.

What todo with those who keep on answering basic questions - Your thoughts?

Hi Experts,
I have been active in ABAP Development Forum and usually hit the abuse button around 50 times a day.
And most of the cases is for posting queries which are very basic and can be searched in SCN or in any Search engine.
Example: The specified item was not found.

Although this is the mistake of the poster, i can see around 5 - 10 replies for such posts in a few seconds. Most of the replies are posted with Copy + paste content from SAP documentation/ other sites, some link farms etc.
What i feel is this type of replies only encourages other people to post such basic questions again and again.
So i think a little amendment need to be added to the Forum guidelines prompting members not to post replies/links to basic questions which can be easily searched.
What you people think of it? Your thoughts are welcome and i hope some moderator would be in a better position to answer this.

Hi Karthik,
Your BAPI example took a whack together with all it's answers and the other questions by the same lazy bones fresher.
There is no real answer to your question, because more usable expert forums and keeping the quality up to standard is a constant thing. Each new batch of freshers brings new challenges with them, and new types of points-gaming, etc. So it is the journey which counts
At other times some tollerance is also appropriate - for example when the person has language problems and is using a translator.
But for the lazy bones who don't even have common sense, there is no SDN medication available. No amount of waiving the rules at them helps. The only think which can be done is to delete it on sight and try to catch them as early as possible.
For this the folks who use the Abuse Reports button are the true heros of the forums, as it is impossible for moderators to be everywhere all the time.
Cheers and thank again!

Please help with basic questions

I hardly ever use flash, as i'm always ending up kicking
stuff out of sheer frustration. Just like with Quark Xpress, in
Flash there seem to be several 'layers' between what my intuition
tells me should work, and the actual execution of the things i want
to achieve. But nevermind, I'm just severely annoyed.
I got 10 buttons, with a graphic as bottomlayer, and a number
(1-10). Isn't it possible to turn the first button into a symbol,
and then make copies where i just have to change the number? For
now it doesn't matter if i copy/paste them or drag them from the
library, when i copy the button and try to change the number in the
copy, then the number in the 'original' changes as well.
Do i really have to 'make' each button from scratch?
This might seem like a very basic question, but i'm really
bangin my head into the wall here. And theres tons og issues like
that in Flash - for me at least - like if i say 'paste in place',
things get pasted some random place on the canvas (anywhere but in
place). If i convert to symbol, the referencepoint (or the point
which it's supposed to rotate around) seems randomly choosen as
well - at least it's never where i told it to be in the appropriate
dialog.
HELP! :-(

Go to the library and there should be an arrow in the corner
that gives you options. One option is "duplicate symbol." Duplicate
your button and give it a new name, then make the changes.

Basic question about storage and safety in iMovie '11

A very basic question about storage and safety:
I want to keep a backup of my raw footage on my external hard drive prior to begin working on the movie in iMovie. I want to do this:
1. Upload the digital files from my camcorder to my Desktop *(as opposed to iMovie)*
2. Duplicate that footage/clips.
3. Put the duplicate clips/footage into a folder labeled with the name of that footage (like "Fun At the Dentist" or "Jimmy Learns How to Yodel").
4. Drag the folder with the footage/clips into my external hard drive into a pre-existing folder titled "Backups/duplicates of all of my raw footage/clips." This big granddaddy folder will house all of the child folders of different movies.
5 Then, open up iMovie '11 and import the raw footage/clips from my Desktop rather than from my camcorder.
6. Then I want to make a duplicate of my finished movie and put it in my external hard drive in a "Finished Movies" folder.
I know that the original raw unedited footage will always be in iMovies '11 but I want the original to also exist immediately accessible in my external hard drive.
QUESTION:
Is this viable? Is it wise? (I know it goes an extra unnecessary step, but aside from that.)
*Do you have any precautionary advice?* Should I do something in my iMovies '11 preferences? What?
In earlier years with iMovie '04 or '06 (cannot recall) I made many novice errors and ended up losing audio to my finished movie. I also lost footage.
This time around with iMovie '11 I don't to make such novice, ignorant errors.
Thanks so much for any comments to this question.

Yes I'm sure it will work great for you.
The iFrame format is something Apple has come up with. The reason for its existence is unknown to me so I can only speculate. But it seems to me that Apple "invented" this format in order to have devices such as Ipod/Ipad/Iphone/Ixxx create clips that are editable on consumer hardware such as already mentioned devices but also standard Mac computers, without the need for format conversion.
iMovie converts most input formats during import, which takes a lot of time, and this need for conversion often comes as a surprise to most people new to home video editing.
iFrame has a resolution of 960x540 which is long way from the common standards of 1920x1080 and 1280x720. If your end target is YouTube however, this may not be too bad though. However if you intend to go with YouTube HD, you may find iFrame footage to look wrong since they are effectively upscaled to a higher resolution.
Technically iFrame uses the H.264 algorithm, a smaller frame size (960x540) and a rather low compression scheme. This will result in large files, but the plus side is that the files are ready for editing without the need for any conversion and iMovie will natively edit the files.

Splitting AD - Basic questions

Hi,
I'm involved in a project where we intend to split to an existing AD forest (due to divestiture). Lets say there is a forest called Mycompany.com with one domain called mycompany.local. The goal is to split the Active Directory into 2 separate entities,
with both environments having a copy of the domain after being separated.
The execution idea (from what I understand) is that the existing forest will be "copied", a new forest created with the clone and a cleanup performed on both forests, as well as the new domain DC seizing the FSMO roles (I
know this is not the supported method from MS, but this is the approach we are going with nonetheless). Also, the two domains will be forever isolated so that they can never talk to each other, the aim being the two domains can co-exist without
knowing about each other
Now, in the above scenario I have some very basic questions I was hoping someone can help answer (I'm an AD novice when it comes to this type of stuff!)
1) To create a new domain, would it be advisable to clone an existing DC in mycompany.com and use that clone to setup a new domain (mycompany.pri) in a new environment, or install a new DC in the current domain, let it replicate and get all the data, take
that offline and instantiate a new environment using this DC?
2) Why does the new DC need to seize the roles from the original one? Wouldn't that mean the original DC no longer has any FSMO roles causing the original AD environment to break?
Apologies if the above questions are stupid, trying to wrap my head around this stuff for the first time :)

You need to create a new forest for this company. Then migrate all resources over using a migration tool.

Basic question

Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
Name Quantity
and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail? for standard dso and for write optimized?
NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
thanks

Hi Vik,
Yes, the load will fail.
May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
Hope this helps.
