Spreading user data across multiple HD's?

I hope this is the right forum for this. I'm on a Mac Pro 1,1 and recently installed a few extra hard drives to optimize performance for video editing (accoring to recommendations over at another big software company's support docs -- this is not about FCP).
My goal is to have this general set-up:
SSD: Boot Drive (OS & Apps) -- already set up
Disk 2: Editing Project Files, media and exports
Disk 3: Cache, renders and previews
Disk 4: Ideally this would be for docs, itunes, photos and anythings non video related.
The thing is, this advice comes from PC users mainly and the OSX User Folder structure isn't an issue.
Question: Can the same user folder's contents be spread across multiple HD's? I realize I'll need to physically place a different "house" icon folder in each HD, probably, but can those have different contents? How can I make them all boot on start-up so the disk allocation is pretty much not noticeable?
Thanks!

A simple version of what you are trying is to establish a Boot Drive, with only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden unix files. All user files are moved off to a different drive.
Here are some simple recipes for Moving the "Home" folder"
Japamac's Blog: Make space for Performance -- Moving the Home Folder
http://chris.pirillo.com/how-to-move-the-home-folder-in-os-x-and-why/
You can embellish this basic setup any way you wish, especially putting Movie data on a different drive, and Movie cache data on yet another drive.

Can I use Visual Basic to covert form user data from multiple .pdf files to a single .csv file?

Can I use Visual Basic to covert form user data from multiple .pdf files to a single .csv file? If so, how?

You can automate Acrobat using IAC (InterApplication Communications), as documented in the Acrobat SDK. Your program could loop through a collection of PDFs, load them in Acrobat, extract the form data from each, and generate a CSV file that contains the data.
Acrobat can also do this with its "Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet" function, but this is a manual process.

Sync data across multiple clients

I am create an application in flex that pulls and pushes data to a MySQL database. This program will have multiple clients logged in at the same time. I am wondering what the best way to ensure that the data is accurately updated across all of the clients would be.

User Profiles across multiple hosts

I have three Macs:
iMac 27
MBPr13
MBA13
All running OSX Mavericks 10.9.4.
We also run a home network with a LaCie 5BigPro 10TB NAS. All my user profiles on the hosts are set up for administrator privileges.
Lately, we have had trouble with document files on the NAS not able to be opened on certain hosts because of a lack of user privileges. This could be complex, but I wanted to start with a simple question, that is can I make it so my own user profile on each of three hosts is recognised by OSX as the same user profile (and therefore has the same priviliges)? Like it is a single, roaming profile such as what you find on many enterprise networks...would this require some level of central domain-based authentication engine? Or are these features native to OSX? Or do I need to run OSX server to achieve this functionality?
Cheers.

User working across multiple domians remotely

Hi
I am after some advice.
I support multiple schools and have a few members of staff that work across all sites. The schools all have their own domain and the users need to access data at both sites. I am wondering how anyone else has allowed staff to do this in the past?
Is configuring RDS at both sites the best solution for this?
Thanks in advance
Shane

Hi,
Did you mean that such user has different domain accounts?
Here is what I know on domain manager:

But I am not very well on Domain related knowledge.
If above article didn't help, I suggest you contact Windows Server support since they will be more professional in this field.

Summarizing Data Across Multiple Dates

Here is my issues.
I have two dimensions.
Date and Time. Date is a standard date dimension. Time is a time dimension who's leaf level is at the second.
I need the ability to obtain a value like maximum from my fact table for a given set of prices. I want to summarize this value at the day level. The issue is that the value can span across 2 dates.
Example. A Sunday starts at 4PM and ends Monday at 9AM. I need to obtain the maximum value across these specific times from both Monday and Sunday (at the specified times).
Effectively, I need MAX(MONDAY at time 12:00AM - 9AM, SUNDAY at time 4PM - 11:59:59PM) to be displayed in the data for Date Monday.
Suggestions on to approaches for this?

Guys thanks for your suggestions. Yes I'll give those options a try...
Just a pity there was no 'aggregator' type activity which would negate the need to go down the route of writing out to SQL or create master/child runbooks which just seem a bit of overkill or adding complexity esp when using very simple runbooks - like I
say maybe one for the IP developers out there...
To illustrate my specific eample (one of many simple runbooks requires a summary email sent out to show output) as below:
So the first Powershell gets VDI desktop names (3 of them) then 2nd Powershell uses these machine names as published data to get associated registration state. From there I'd ideally like to just generate out the single summary email showing the 3
machines/reg states instead of 3 separate emails. I added the append line and get line activities to expose the output to check it was OK and then tried flattening various activities to try and only generate the single email (I removed the junction activity
infront of sendmail as it didn't work)
So I'll try the options suggested for spliiting runbooks and/or writing to SQL and see how that goes..
Cheers

Copy Local User Data from Multiple Computers to a File Server

Just recently acquired a new company with 20 standalone computers (desktops and laptops, Windows 7 and 8.1), that are part of a WORKGROUP, with no local server at all. This site will be getting a network upgrade, and will soon have a VPN tunnel to the Main
Office (but not until cutover weekend, a month and a half in the future). Now, all these computers have local user accounts, and some are shared computers, so copying data to a centralized location is going to be bothersome (especially if people keep
modifying/creating data everyday). Not sure what to do...
Would anyone advise on what to do in this case? I'd like to minimize downtime for these users while migrating them to our domain.

Hello Fernando Chanco,
I can recommend you to use the User Migration State Tool as this provides a highly customizable user-profile migration experience for IT professionals.

Server setup to support user profiles across multiple macs

I want to do something that I thought would be obvious, but can't figure out how to do.
Here's the scenario: we have 10 or so macs in our office and 20 employees, many of whom are part time and need to share workstations. Currently, each user is assigned an iMac and he or she works there. What I would like is that a user is set up on our Mac mini server and he or she would have the same environment on any Mac.
I think the sets would be:
-setup the users on the server
-set up each of the macs to get login credentials from the server rather than locally
-sync or remotely mount the users home directory to the server when the user logs in.
Seems like it should be pretty simple, but I haven't figured out the easy setup guide for this. This is the basics. Next would be central app management, (ms office, and other tools licensed and installed centrally)
Thanks for any pointers.

You are looking for network home folders. But before going any further, I will caution:
• Apple has been moving away from this for years
• You need robust storage and a solid network
• Understand your throughput and storage requirements
• Using the Adobe Suite over network home folders is not advisable
• Doing anything with video over network homes is not advisable
• Accept the reality that if anything goes wrong, your whole office does not work
Ok, that being said, the basic steps are:
1: Make sure you understand and have internal DNS setup properly
2: Create an Open Directory Master (this is required to make network home share)
3: Defined a shared folder on faster storage. When defining the shared folder, check the box to make it available for network home folders. Choose AFP as the protocol.
4: Create your users in the Local Network User container and when defining the account, set the home folder to the network home folder path. This will automatically create the user's home folder on the server.
5: Bind your workstations to the server
6: Login using the user's network credentials
It sounds simple and it generally is. But, I stress that you test this on a limited scale. Once again, you need to have a solid 1000Base network. Ideally, you would have your server link aggregated to 2gig or connected over 10GigE. It is a simple math problem. 1000 Base on the server divided by 10 Macs means you have an average of 100Base per device. That is pretty slow. Also, this is a good time to add servers so you have a server dedicated to nothing but service NetHomes.
And finally, NetHomes is really a solution for schools where resource sharing is a requirement. A student in school uses a machine for about 45 minutes. If there is a problem, teachers are often flexible enough to change direction for 45 minutes. In business, your users are going to be expecting the system to be up for at least 8 hours per day, every day. And when it is not, what options do they have to stay busy?

Cartesian time data across multiple hourly rows

Looking for a solution for exploding time rows into multiple rows by hour. For example, take a row like this:
EventTime EventLengthSeconds
2014-04-25 13:31:16.857 6657
What I need is multiple rows to allocate the time by hour like this:
EventTime EventLengthSeconds
2014-04-25 13:31:16 1724
2014-04-25 14:00:00 3600
2014-04-25 15:00:00 1333
I've crafted a solution using a derived table that I cross join to then use case statements, etc. but it's super ugly and I'm embarrassed to post it.
I'm thinking in SQL 2012 there must be a elegant and efficient way to do this with the new windowing functions that are available.
Thanks for any insights and suggestions.

You need a table of hours for this problem. The more general concept is a table of numbers. That is, a table that spans the dimension you are working and provides a row for each discrete value.
Below is an example how you can fill the table and then a query which uses this table:
CREATE TABLE Hours (Hour smalldatetime NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY);
WITH digits (d) AS (
   SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION
   SELECT 4 UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION
   SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9 UNION
   SELECT 0)
INSERT Hours (Hour)
   SELECT dateadd(Hour, Number, '20000101')
   FROM   (SELECT i.d + ii.d * 10 + iii.d * 100 + iv.d * 1000 +
v.d * 10000 + vi.d * 100000 AS Number
   FROM   digits i
   CROSS JOIN digits ii
   CROSS JOIN digits iii
   CROSS JOIN digits iv
   CROSS JOIN digits v
   CROSS JOIN digits vi) AS Numbers
   WHERE Number > 0
   AND dateadd(Hour, Number, '20000101') < '20500101'
DECLARE @eventtime datetime2(3) = '2014-04-25 13:31:16.857',
@eventspan int = 6657
SELECT @eventtime AS EventTime,
   3600 - (60*datepart(minute, @eventtime) +
datepart(second, @eventtime)) AS EventSeconds
UNION ALL
SELECT Hour,
   CASE WHEN dateadd(second, @eventspan, @eventtime) >
   dateadd(HOUR, 1, Hour)
THEN 3600
ELSE datediff(SECOND, Hour, dateadd(second, @eventspan, @eventtime))
END
FROM   Hours
WHERE Hour > @eventtime
AND Hour < dateadd(SECOND, @eventspan, @eventtime)

Duplicate rows and data across multiple pages.

My form has 12 pages (each page = 1 month). With a loop, the pages are hidden until the corresponding button is clicked and it becomes visible (Thanks Assure Dynamics for a great solution to a very long form).
In Month 1, I have a table with a repeating row. What I would like to do is copy the repreating row and it's data to Month 2. Then I would like to have the table from Month 2, duplicate to Month 3, Month 3 to Month 4 and so on.
I have been able to get the row from Month 1 to duplicate in Month 2 on the exit event of each cell in the row, however, when you are in Month 2 and do not change a cell which was created in Month 1, the data does not duplicate into the next month (Month 3). Instead of on the exit event of the cell(field), I thought placing it on a button would work but it is not.
This is what I used on the exit event in the table for Month 1:
xfa.resolveNode("Month2.Performancegoals2.updates.details[" + this.parent.index + "]").projectName.rawValue = this.rawValue;
I also thought instead of using a table and a repeating row, I could place the information in a repeating subform but I am still stuck with how to copy the subform and its completed data to the next month.
I am really stuck and have been looking for hours for a solution. Can anyone help, I am out of time for the deadline of this form.?

Hi,
Firstly,you must do the count of the table.
frmTableBlock.tblTableMonth2._rowItem.count = frmTableBlock.tblTableMonth1._rowItem.count
frmTableBlock.tblTableMonth12._rowItem.count = frmTableBlock.tblTableMonth1._rowItem.count
And write the code which is do you want to copy the data Month1 to month12.
I hope
S,Candy

How to identify a user across multiple pages

Hi,
I'm doing a homebanking and I would like to know how to identify a user across multiple pages.
I have already take a look at HTTPSESSION, but I didn't understand.
Can someone help me.
I'm send the servlet Logon.
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.*;

          res.setContentType("text/html");
out = res.getWriter();
String opcao = req.getParameter("log");
Thanks

I would recommend using the authentication mechanism that's guaranteed by the servlet spec. If you do that, you can just call
request.getRemoteUser()
to get the user name across multiple pages.
If you want to use your own login scheme, you can create a new session object and map it to a user name somewhere in your app. Or you can just put the name of the user on the session. But the preferred way is to use the default authentication scheme defined by the spec.

User Account Authentication across multiple Solaris servers - Best Practice

Hi,
I am new to Solaris admin and would like to know the best practice/setup for authenticating user accounts across multiple solaris servers.
Currently we have 20 - 30 Solaris 8 & 10 servers which each have their own user accounts setup. I am planning to replace these with a similar number of Solaris 10 servers and would like to centralise the user accounts and their authentication.
I would be grateful for any suggestions on the best setup and any links to tutorials.
Thanks
Jools

i would suggest LDAP + kerberos, LDAP for name lookups and krb5 for auth. provides secure auth + extensable directory for users and other apps if needed. plus, it provides a decent spring board to add other unix plats into the mix since this will support any unix/linux/bsd plat. you could integrate this design with a windows AD env if you want as well.
[http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/kerberos_s10.jsp] sol + ldap+ AD
[http://docs.lucidinteractive.ca/index.php/Solaris_LDAP_client_with_OpenLDAP_server] sol + ldap (openldap)
[http://aput.net/~jheiss/krbldap/howto.html] sol + ldap + krb5
now these links are all using some diff means, however they should give you some ideas as to whats out there. sol 10 comes with suns ldap server and you can use the krb5 server which comes with it as well. many many diff ways to do this. many many more links out there as welll. these are just a few.

How can split data into multiple sheets using an excel template

Hi all,
I'm using BIP 10.1.3.4.1 upgrated with the latest rollup patch, 9546699.
I followed the example inside the article "Real Excel Templates 1.5" (on the Tim Dexter's blog)
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2010/05/real_excel_templates_i.html
and I built my report directly from an excel template containing only one sheet (plus the XDO_METADATA sheet), and for one sheet it worked fine !!!
Now I need to add more sheets to the template.... and I have two big questions:
1. if I need to create a second sheet which contains almost the same data (with a different layout), I saw that it is not possible to map a value to more than 1 cell....so if I map a value in the first sheet, I can't map it in the second sheet (because it's already used in the first one).
How can I map same values into two or different execll
2. if I need to create a second sheet which contains another dataset (completely different from the dataset in the first sheet), I can I do, considering that every BIP report is based on ONLY a data source.
Tim wrote: The most impressive, for me at least, is the sheet 'bursting'. You can split your hierarchical data across multiple sheets and dynamically name those sheets
but I didn't yet understand how this bursting it's possible.....considering what I said above.....
Surely I've a lack of knowledge.....but anybody can help me to understanding the "multiple excel sheets" black hole ?
I'll appreciate any kind of help
Thanks in advance
Alex
