Process for setting up new directories and files on Unix

I am trying to document a process �Process for setting up new directories and files on Unix batch servers�.
Developer will be developing project on Windows and I need tell them as well as QA team how the Unix directory and file structure.
Please let me know how is the process in Unix on AIX.
If I get some documentation regarding this it will be useful.
Thanks in advance
Regards
San

well on unix/Linux/solaris there are no drives but storage heirarchy starts with a root directory represented with ' / '. and all files and directories are created in root directoy like
/usr/local/bin
/export/home/san
etc
also filesystem of unix consists iNodes rathar than FAT entries as in case of Windows.
some basic information is available at

Best Process for Setting Up New MacBook Pro

I have a Mac Pro and am waiting on my new 2.2 Ghz Macbook Pro that should arrive tomorrow. I have already ordered 8GBs of Ram and plan to order a SSD for the boot drive. I have a couple of questions.
-Is a 128 boot drive to small for installing PhotoShop, Lightroom, Final Cut Studio? If so, should I install without all the extra files etc...
-Is there any reason I should wait longer to install the SSD or is it okay to get the internal standard drive filled with programs and then transfer it over to SSD when the Vertex ones are in stock again at Amazon? Or is there another SSD I should be checking out?
-What is the best way to install programs on the new MacBook Pro? Can I do migration assistant of just the critical apps and not the ton of other apps I never use? Or do you recommend only a fresh install always?
If you have any links of step by step instructions it would be much appreciated.

"Can I do migration assistant of just the critical apps and not the ton of other apps I never use?"
Yup!
"If you have any links of step by step instructions it would be much appreciated. "
Instructions can be found on Apple's Knowledge Base.
Your other questions pertaining to your newer MBP should be asked in the *MacBook Pro (2008 and Later)* forums since this area is for the Original MBPs.

HT1483 My ipod needed repairing, so I backed up the data into restore file. My ipod was swapped for a totally new ipod and now I am having difficulty reloading the restored data that I saved. I keep getting the corrupt or not compatible MSG??? Any Ideas

My IPOD needed repairing, so I backed up my personal data into a restore file. In the end my ipod was exchanged for a brand new one and now I am having difficulty with restoring all of my data that I saved.
While trying to restore through iTunes I keep gettingthe corrupt or not compatible error message. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this issue?
Much Appreciated for any help!

You can not restorea a backup made with a newer version of iOS to a phone with an older version of iOS.
1400 photos stored on the phone? Do you not EVER extract them? The camera roll is intended to be temporary storage. Like the SD card in a digital camera. You should be extracting them to your computer on a regular basis.
Contacts should be synced to a compatible contact manager or cloud service. If you were not doing any of these things, guard your backups with your life and make sure your computer is being backed up on a regular basis, because you won't be able to get them back until you get a new phone with at least the same version of iOS that your 4 had.
There are 3rd party applications that say they can extract this information from a backup file, but I don't have personal experience with them.

Order of directories and files listed by the ls command

Per default, the "ls" command lists directories and non-directories separately in lexicographical order.
Is there a possibility to change that order of listing and sorting?
For example, if I want "ls" to list my directories and files not by name but by change date +per default+ without using any additional options, what will I have to do?
Is there a command or a setting which influcenes "ls"'s order of sorting?

I don't think the defaults for ls can be changed as it is a compiled binary located in /bin. Besides compiling your own version of ls, one solution is to add lines such as the following to /etc/profile or (presuming you're using BASH) ~/.bash_profile and opening a new Terminal window:
alias l="ls -l"
alias ll="ls -la"
I have two such lines in my own profile so that when I type "l" followed by the return key I get the output of "ls -l" and issuing "ll" gives me a listing of dot-files, too.
Probably not exactly what you were looking for but it does simplify the command issued at the command line and avoid compiling your own.

Standard process for creating a new version of an existing report

Hi All,
We are using Siebel 8.1 with BI Publisher.
Does any one know the standard process for creating a new version of an existing report - ie if 'BIP Report XXX' is created and works correctly from the siebel view but then an enhancement is developed, how is the enhancement deployed so that the new version completely replaces the old?
One suggestion was:
You can upload a new version of an existing report. You have to navigate to Administration - BIP > Report Template Registration... search for the report you need to replace (I would say that the new rtf file need to have the same name). Now you have to go to the "Template" column where there is the reference to the report file already uploaded but you don't have to click on the link that is displayed you have to click near the link in order to place the cursor on the field then you will be able to see the Multi Value Grup icon .. you click on it and you will be able to upload a new file.
We have tested this process today, however it is not effective in replacing the old version of the report.
After carrying out this process (including related steps from bookshelf - ie "click upload files"), we can generate the report from the relevant siebel view and the previous version of the report is still generated.
Is there a standard process for replacing an existing report that is effective?
Thanks.

Hi ,
This currently seems like a bug , we have encountered this too.
work around is you have to delete the rtf files from server Siebel\client\temp\XMLP directory and upload them again so that they are not cached any more.
same on dedicated client you may have to delete relavant files form siebel\client\temp\xmlp directory and upload again.
Thanks,

2     Some of the other hacking softwares include keyloggers. Keyloggers are used for monitoring the keystrokes typed by the user so that we can get the info or passwords one is typing. Some of the keyloggers include remote monitoring capability, it means that we can send the remote file across the network to someone else and then we can monitor the key strokes of that remote pc. Some of the famous keyloggers include win-spy, real-spy, family keylogger and stealth spy.

Hope this helps !

New Director and GM in Hong Kong

I do notice that there is a new Director and GM to be chaired the office in Hong Kong, I hope she will look into the problems which HP operate in Hong Kong.
As a customer, being a small business operator, I bought one new printer model HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless last year, it claimed it is of the best for small business, however, this is a nuisance to me for buying this model, the printer, after I have used it for 2 months, the paper always jamed , HP end up replaced me with another printer for an identical model. the replacement model got a small defect, from time to time, my documents always has some problem for the print out quality.
anyhow, I kept call up the technical backup office, nicely, they all talk to me over the phone and instruct me step by step as to find out the problem. it happened to be a rountine defect check up practice from time to time, anyway, it is one year now, my problem is still not solve, I have wasted lotsof time for calling the technical office for my printer's defect.
I call the Hong Kong office and wanted to lodge in an complaint (35593111), the girl say if my case is urgent, HP will answer my complaint within 2 days, I do not expect I got an immediate answer, but I don't think it is acceptable for waiting to days 2 lodge in an complaint, how come it need to wait for 2 days until there is someone could listen my problem, and I am not abuse the complaining system, the defect has bother me for nearly one full year and I still have to wait for 2 days until someone is free to attend my problem.
besides, I remember last year I did told the HP office about their hotline voice message , the tone is too low, it is quite difficult to hear what number to press, Customerlization : press 1 press 2 press 1 ....... this is terrible, I don't mind to listen to the tape what to press and get the right man to answer my problem, the voice is just too low, well, 1 year on, the same tape is still running,
I think the management, there is some problem, firstly, the backup service, it is train to answer problem, they are polite, however, it matter not whether the problem is slove or not, they just answer with you very polite,
each time, I have to tell them what model I bought, what is the problem,..... they will instruct me to perform a cleansing up procee, ........................ I have called the technical support for over the year with the same problem, they hardly bother solve it, nor they followed my record and see what they could do to solve my problem.
I do believe that my printer is a defect one, there is no point to keep calling up the office and waste my time and repeat and repeat telling the office what is the problem with the machine,
the worse thing is the office girl who answer the phone, she told me that HP will call me within 48 Hours (Urgent case), I just wonder what if HP office consider my case is not urgent, will they call me after one month later??????
from the website, I do know that there is a new Director, Ms Cally Chan will head the Hong Kong Office, I hope she will look into their backup service, pollite could not slove the problem, it is only a conversation skill really, and lastly, the girl say if my case is urgent, HP will answer my call within 2 days, I think this is terrible, as a small business in operation, 2 days is not acceptable, what I did, I only kept printed out my documents, hopefully, I got a perfect one, instead of waiting and waiting your man in the office to call me, this is an insult to your own company product.

Yes you can. It will be very expensive since any phone purchased in the US is locked to AT&T and will NOT work with any other company's SIM card.

Generic Host process for WIN32 encountered an error and needed to close

Hi,
I hv installed SAP ECC6.0 SR3 on WIndows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition. Many times i get an popup message on Windows Server "Generic Host process for WIN32 encountered an error and needed to close"
I hv checked the Event Viewer, in Event Viewer it shows the application error.
Consequences of this error is that my Transport path //hostname/sapmnt/trans becomes inaccesible, and I have to take the restart of Windows server to solve the problem. ONce Windows server is restarted for some time transports work, Again when receiving the same error popup on Windows, Transport path goes down.
Can anyone give input on this???

Hello,
You have posted a question that is related to system transports. Unfortunately this category is not related to these kind of questions. SAP TM deals with logistics in the real world - moving pallets, containers, loading trucks, etc.
To learn more about SAP TM please visit http://service.sap.com/scm-tm
Therefore I will now move this thread to the category Software Logistics. Thank you for your understanding.

I'm trying to set up an iPad for work and the apple id I was trying to use came back expired. I set a new password and then it said it was invalid. Now I'm locked out for too many tries answering security questions that I don't remember setting up. Help!

I seem to be stuck in apple ID ****. First the password was expired only two minutes after I finished setting up the account and then the new password was invalid. I don't know what to try next but this is making me crazy. And I'm locked out for eight hours for too many attempts at answering questions that I never set up in the first place. I don't know what gives but something is way off. I need to set up this iPad for work but I can't get past the login.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Some glitch occured and you have to restore/erse the iPod. Y will have to restore from an existing backup if y ohave one.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Can anyone recommend a process for moving just my OS and Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to the SSD?

I have an early 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. I just removed the superdrive and added an SSD. I want to use it to boot from and also run Photoshop and Lightroom from. Can anyone recommend a process for moving my OS and those programs to the SSD?

I'm assuming your doing this because of data you don't want pernament on the SSD as they can' be scrubbed like hard drives can.
Disconnect any other drives.
1: Format the SSD 1 partition, click the box, option GUID and OS X extended journaled as the format.
2: Download Carbon Copy Cloner.
3: Clone your MacintoshHD partition to a blank powered external drive also formatted the same as above.
4: Hold option/alt key and boot the machine (wired or built in keyboard) and then select the clone to boot from,
5: Once in the clone, click it's drive name and change the name if it's the same as the OS X boot volume.
6: On the clone, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new Admin account.
7: If you need to move files between accounts on the clone, see this. Combine two+ Users Accounts on the same machine (be careful that your selecting the correct clones other account)
8: Once your moving files on the clone is complete, then log into the new user account and delete the old user account.
9: Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the clone to the SSD.
10: Use Disk Utiltiy to repair permissions on all drives.
The SSD should be moved to the HD slot and the HD to the optical slot and used as a file drive.
CCC has a option to not include certain folders like the other user account you don't want, however I tend not to recommend things that are not too far out of line with Apple's ways of doing things as it usually results in bad things occuring. Somewhere in OS X it's recorded of that other user account, so it might still show up in logins and such.
Also you may want to transfer some files to the other account, so that's why I recommend this method.
Good Luck

I had my email acount hacked so i had to set up new email and i can't get my photos off i cloud now?

i had my email account hacked the other day and they changed the password so i could'nt get into it, so i set up a new email and password and changed password and i now can't get my photos on my ipad because it was backed up on i clould with my old email. how can i get them back?

You could try contacting iTunes store support. If you can proove your identity to their satisfaction, such as by answering your security questions correctly, they may be able to do something for you so you can regain control of the account. Although this is an iCloud issue, I'm suggesting iTunes store support because they deal with Apple ID issues all the time. You can reach them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

Include all sub-directories and files?

I did search, so don't complain that this has been asked a billion times.
I am using Automator to replace text for files and folders. But this only works with the files and or folders I select, it doesn't do it with the sub-directories and sub-files. How can I config. Automator to do this?
Thanks.

The various actions operate on whatever is input to them. If you are referring to the *Rename Finder Items* action, you can use the *Get Folder Contents* action to go into sub folders, but be careful, since this action will go into bundles/packages such as applications and RTFD files.

Zipping and Unzipping Directories and files both - URGENT PLEASE

Hi friend,
I tried for zipping and unzipping but it is not working still.
and have to submit project tomorrow.
so please as possible as fast just send me the source code that zip the file/folder and unzip in the same way as it was stored.

thanks

I believe (although I don't want to put words in his mouth) that Madan has run across a similar problem that I am trying to solve.
For instance if I have the following files:
c:\pic1.gif
c:\pic2.gif
c:\pic3.gifand I zip them in to a file called: pics.zip the will unzip just fine.
However, if I have them in a directory:
c:\pics\pic1.gif
c:\pics\pic2.gif
c:\pics\pic3.gifA listing of the zip files (all using java of-course) will show the files and dirs correctly:
\pics\pic1.gif
\pics\pic2.gif
\pics\pic3.gifbut will give the following error if you try to un-zip them:
"The system cannot find the path specified"The ZipEntry class has an 'isDirectory()' method, but it only returns true in the case of an EMPTY directory. If , as in my example, there is an actual file at the end of the entry, it returns false.
So, at least in my case, I would be looking for advice on how to expand files that reside in directories within the zip file.
Thank You for any help you can provide
