Seperate out User related files from Syste related files for boot disc

I have a primary drive with the default Mac set up of System files, Application files and User files.
I want to end up with the System files, Application folder etc but not the User folder directory on a standalone drive that I can boot from.
I have copied the System related files (not the user files) to a new drive. However the drive containing the system files is not recognisable as a boot drive.
Is it possible to make it a boot drive.
The ultimate aim is to set up a SSD drive for the System and programs without having to do a major re install of the OS and applications.

Copy everything under /Users to another drive.
You can use CCC to do that or you can do it manually.
Clone everything but user account folders. Make sure you have a bootable system. Some rerun Combo update as part of refresh when moving the system.
Actually clean install of OS X takes minutes, and Setup Assistant will ask what you want to import off your WORKING system.
Leave a small user folder ~/Library and empty all the other files on your system drive.
Keep your default drive as is for a week to serve as backup.

  • Change to Order Related Billing from Delivery Related

    Hi,
    We have a scenario where we want to change to Order Related Billing from Delivery Related. The Sales Order Have already been created and for some of them the Delivery has alsobeen done.
    Can we change to Order related billing and would it work for all sales order created previously.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    It will work if you change this to order related billing.For this Goto the T.Code "VOV8".Select your document type.
    Details.
    Goto the "Billing" tab.
    Maintain the order-related billing type.
    Next step is to goto the T.Code "VOV7".Select your item category.Details.
    Goto the "Business data" tab.Change the Billing Relevance field to either "B/C/F/G/I" as per your requirement.
    Last step is to maintain the copycontrols between your order and invoice by using the T.Code "VTFA" and also for your item category.

  • Reading an xml file from a jar file

    Short question:
    Is it possible to read an xml file from a jar file when the dtd is
    placed inside the jar file? I am using jdom (SAXBuilder) and the default
    sax parser which comes with it.
    Long Question:
    I am trying to create an enterprise archive file on Weblogic 6.1. We
    have a framework that is similar to the struts framework which uses it's
    own configuration files
    I could place the dtd files outside the jar ear file and specify the
    absolute path in an environment variable in web.xml which is
    configurable through the admin console.
    But I want to avoid this step and specify a relative path within the jar
    file.
    I have tried to use a class which implements the entityresolver as well
    as try to extend the saxparser and set the entity resolver within this
    class explicitly, but I always seem to sun into problems like:
    The setEntityresolver method does not get called or there is a
    classloader problem. i.e. JDOM complains that it cannot load My custom
    parser which is part of the application
    Vijay

    Please contact the main BEA Support team [email protected]
    They will need to check with product support to determine
    the interoperatablity of Weblogic Server with these other
    products.

  • Reading Java files from a EAR file

    I want to read all Java files from a EAR file and from inner (inside EAR) EAR or WAR file with out unpacking.
    suppose "Demo.ear" contaions the following files:
    abc.java
    programs / a.java
    programs / b.java
    src / index.java
    src / com / myFolder / main.java
    src.war
    and suppose "src.war" again contains some java files inside differenet folders.
    The main problem is that i can read all java files from "Demo.ear" but unable to reading from "src.war" b'coz my program is using JarFile class constructor which needs a archive file path, So only top level archive having the path but not the inner archives.
    So, pls help me out to this problems
    Thanks in advance

    Maybe you can use java.util.zip.ZipInputStream to
    open the Ear and recursively to open the files in
    it; I'm not sure whether this will result in a full
    unpacking of the file in some temporary directory,
    though.
    Please let me know if it worked the way you wanted,
    I'm curious about it.This jerk just created the third thread about the same topic, because he didn't understand your suggestion, which I already provided earlier.

  • Is there a way to run a script to create an RPD file from MDS XML files

    We would be interested in using the MDS XML format for the RPD file in saving it in our Subversion source code control system, and I have seen how to do this in the User documentation.
    Our question is whether or not there is a way to use a command line tool to recreate the rpd file without having to use the Admin tool, so that we can automate the deployment of the RPD file from source code control to QA and Production environments.
    If we check in the RPD file directly, then there is a way to automate the process, but we would prefer to use the MDS XML format since this allows us to save changes in text format, not binary, but we still need to be able to automate the process.
    In the Oracle Fusion Middleware XML Schema Reference for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition document, I have found that there is a way to automate the creation of the MDS XML files from an RPD file using this command:
    biserverxmlgen -M -R repository_pathname [-P password] -D output_directory [-8] [-N] [-Q|-S]
    So my question is basically is there a way to reverse this process, to use some command line tool (or Weblogic Scripting or some other mechanism) to create the RPD file from the MDS XML files? Are there options on the biserverxmlexec command that will do what I am asking?

    Hey dmfairley,
    Thanks for the question. You can absolutely export the project as .mp3, as outlined in this resource:
    GarageBand Help: Export songs to disk
    http://help.apple.com/garageband/mac/10.0/#gbnd7cbf5ed9
    Export songs to disk
    You can export a project to your computer as a stereo audio file.
    Exported files can be reused in GarageBand to save processing resources by replacing or bypassing multiple regions, instruments, and effects. They can also be used with other music applications and devices, posted on the Internet (on a webpage, or in the iTunes Store, for example), added to an iTunes playlist, or uploaded to a mobile device such as iPhone or iPad.
    1. Choose Share > Export Song to Disk.
    2. To rename the exported file, select the name in the Save As field, then enter a new name.
    3. Choose a location to save the exported file from the Where pop-up menu.
    4. Select the format for the exported file (AAC, MP3, or AIFF).
    5. Choose the quality setting for the exported file from the Quality pop-up menu.
    6. Click Export.

  • Reading a Compressed File from a ZIP File, which is an entry of ZIP File

    Hello, Experts,
    Would it be possible somebody to help me with code example for the following problem?
    I want to read a compressed file from a ZIP file, which is an entry of ZIP File, without extacting/writing files on file system. Is this possible?
    Lets say we have a ZipFile1. There is ZipFile2 inside ZipFile1. And inside ZipFile2 is FileA. The scenario is reading FileA without extracting on file system.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Cheers
    RADY

    The classes you want to be using are java.util.zip.ZipInputStream and and ZipEntry from the same package. Construct the ZipInputStream with the input you have for the outer zip. Loop with ZipInputStream.getNextEntry until you find the inner zip you're looking for - that method returns a ZipEntry, and you get the name of the zip entry with ZipEntry.getName. Read the ZipInputStream from that point into some buffer, and read that buffer into a new ZipInputStream - rinse and repeat until you have the contents of the file in the zip in the zip...

    Hi all
    I've to take backup of a database weekly twice on every wednesday & Friday @ 5pm IST. I've written a hot backup script, which works every well.
    now i want to automate the script. ie i want this script to run on wednesday & friday @ 5pm without any human interfearance ie with out actually any1 executing this script.
    i created a batch file prod.bak with the following lines
    @echo off
    set oracle_sid=testdb
    set oracle_home=d:\oracle\ora92
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect sys as sysdba/oracletest@testdb
    this batch file when eexecuted connects me to sql prompt.
    Now i want to execute my backup script bkp.sql automatically when it is connected to sql prompt.
    (i tried with these lines in the above batch file...
    call bkp.sql---it just opens the bkp.sql file in notepad & displays the script
    start bkp.sql---same as call
    connect / as sysdba/pwd@[email protected] --- does not work simply remains a the sql prompt.
    At 17:00 /Every:w,f "d:\bkp.sql"---does not work simply remains at the sql promt.)
    Can any1 let me know what should i write in the batch file that will execute the bkp.sql file automatically after it gets connected to sql prompt. M using oracle 9i.
    I'll manage he time through windows utility of scheduling task.. Let me know how to execute the .sql file from a batch file.
    Thanks
    Tripti

    Try
    sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
    Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
    Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.

  • I want to create a vector file from a png file

    I would like to create a vector file from a png file using Adobe CC. I am a novice Illustrator user and it seems that the instructions I can find are from earlier versions.

    The instructions may be old, but the procedures are the same - you use image trace with the necessary cleanup procedures or re-draw it manually. There is no magic involved.

  • Loading an xml file from an xml file

    I'm trying to load an xml file from an xml file, but I'm
    having problems. My first xml file is really simple - it only
    contains one attribute with the name of another xml file in it
    (eventually I will have multiple xml files in here and run a loop
    on them...this is why I want to load an xml file from an xml file).
    Currently, with the code below, I can get the main xml file
    to load ("main.xml"), but I cannot get the secondary xml files to
    load FROM the main.xml.
    I want to then take childNode values from the secondary xml
    file and use them within my .swf in text boxes and whatnot.
    Any guidance? I think I'm going wrong on the line where I'm
    saying "i.newxml.load(i.attributes.location);"
    - How can I get this to work?

    johnypeter:
    I tried changing the code inside the loop to use just
    "newxml" instead of "i.newxml", and I declared with "var newxml =
    new XML();" - was this what you were thinking?
    kglad:
    The reason I tried to use the loadXML() function in the loop
    was so that for each node in my "main.xml" it would load the new
    xml file listed - this is a no-no? Do you have any ideas as to what
    I could do?
    For the for-loop, what should I change in it? I'm not great
    with loops so I tried to modify some code from another loop I found
    in another forum thread - not the right way to do it here?
    Also, what should I trace? The value of the _root.address, or
    i.attributes.location? I have created dynamic text boxes on my
    stage to see if the correct value from the xml file loads (ie. the
    name of the xml file within the xml file) and it does, but now I
    don't know how to put that information into ANOTHER loadXML()
    function and get the node information from it - does that make
    sense???
    Below are the examples of the xml files I am using. In the
    first one, main.xml, I will have a list of multiple xml files, each
    with the same nodes and elements as in the details.xml file
    (different values, of course).
    This is just to give you an example of what I'm trying to
    accomplish - pulling ALL the addresses and phone numbers from
    multiple xml files. I cannot manually collect this information, as
    it is dynamic, and will be updated in each individual details.xml.
    I was hoping to collect the information by simply adding to and
    updating ONE xml file - main.xml.
    Do you think this can be done? Am I going about it the wrong
    way? I'm quite limited in AS knowledge, which is why I'm piecing
    together code from other posts!
