What is the best practice for setting up and migrating two notebook users on one desktop

My wife and I have just purchased a desktop iMac and would like to migrate our 2 notebooks to it.  I plan to use the Migration Application to achieve this.  I am trying to gather information on the best ways to establish a main music library merging ours together, multiple photo libraries keeping ours apart and maintaining unique user log ins.  I'm sure alot of this stuff is may appear to be pretty straight forward setting up multiple users and all, yet we individually have never established multiple users on our personal notebooks, so there will be some bit of learning.  Any advice on the hang ups or tricks users have encountered would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Step one would be to the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and migrate your account, apps, and settings from your machine, using the Setup Assistant on first boot. Then, use the Migration Assistant to migrate your wife's account to the machine. That should carry over her photos and music. Merging those libraries should be detailed in the respective help files for iTunes and iPhoto. I don't share anything and only have one account, so I can't help with those details.

  • What is the best practice for setting up warehouse inventory for oil & gas tank farm

    Hi, i want to know the best practice for setting up warehouse inventory for oil & gas tank farm. SAP has these levels for inventory management in warehouse environment: warehouse-aisle-shelf-bin. To me the bin seems to be the central location for inventory. So do i set up each oil tank as a bin location?

  • What are the best practices for Database management and performance tuning?

    Hello,
    I want to ensure that I am using the best practices for managing and maintaining our Database.
    Is there any documentation out there that outlines how to maintain and ensure top performance out of our database?
    Thank you!
    John Sefton

    I appreciate the responses, however this is not the information I am looking for.
    I am specificaly looking for best practices invloving the managment and performance tuning.
    Example: are their tools that I can install that will monitor the size and response time of the database and alert me if there is degradation in performance?
    Are there specific periodic activities I should be doing to garuntee that my database will continue to function that way it is supposed to?
    Or is this a fire and forget solution that does not need this attention?

  • What is the best practice for using portrait and landscape images within a slideshow light box?

    I am trying to create an online portfolio and want to incorporate different sized images in my work. I have watched almost all of the tutorials I can find and no one really seems to address this at all.
    Each demonstration I have watched uses the same size of image (eg. all landscape close ups) to fill the enlarged viewing space of the image. But what if all images are varied?
    Friends have gone down the Wix path, where images, borders, descriptive text and arrows are  resized to suit each individual image automatically.
    Is there any way around this though?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Not sure what exactly you are asking but Muse handles the different orientations nicely without having to do anything.

  • What is the best practice for changing view states?

    I have a component with two Pie Charts that display
    percentages at two specific dates (think start and end values).
    But, I have three views: Start Value only, End Value only, or show
    Both. I am using a ToggleButtonBar to control the display. What is
    the best practice for changing this kind of view state? Right now
    (since this code was inherited), the view states are changed in an
    ActionScript function which sets the visible and includeInLayout
    properties on each Pie Chart based on the selectedIndex of the
    ToggleButtonBar, but, this just doesn't seem like the best way to
    do this - not very dynamic. I'd like to be able to change the state
    based on the name of the selectedItem, in case the order of the
    ToggleButtons changes, and since I am storing the name of the
    selectedItem for future reference.
    Would using States be better? If so, what would be the best
    way to implement this?
    Thanks.

    I would stick with non-states, as I have always heard that
    states are more for smaller components that need to change under
    certain conditions, like a login screen that changes if the user
    needs to register.
    That said, if the UI of what you are dealing with is not
    overly complex, and if it will not become overly complex, maybe
    states is the way to go.
    Looking at your code, I don't think you'll save much in terms
    of lines of code.

  • What is the best practice for inserting (unique) rows into a table containing key columns constraint where source may contain duplicate (already existing) rows?

    My final data table contains a two key columns unique key constraint.  I insert data into this table from a daily capture table (which also contains the two columns that make up the key in the final data table but are not constrained
    (not unique) in the daily capture table).  I don't want to insert rows from daily capture which already exists in final data table (based on the two key columns).  Currently, what I do is to select * into a #temp table from the join
    of daily capture and final data tables on these two key columns.  Then I delete the rows in the daily capture table which match the #temp table.  Then I insert the remaining rows from daily capture into the final data table. 
    Would it be possible to simplify this process by using an Instead Of trigger in the final table and just insert directly from the daily capture table?  How would this look?
    What is the best practice for inserting unique (new) rows and ignoring duplicate rows (rows that already exist in both the daily capture and final data tables) in my particular operation?

    Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
    to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for: 
    https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
    >> My final data table contains a two key columns unique key constraint. [unh? one two-column key or two one column keys? Sure wish you posted DDL] I insert data into this table from a daily capture table (which also contains the two columns that make
    up the key in the final data table but are not constrained (not unique) in the daily capture table). <<
    Then the "capture table" is not a table at all! Remember the fist day of your RDBMS class? A table has to have a key.  You need to fix this error. What ETL tool do you use? 
    >> I don't want to insert rows from daily capture which already exists in final data table (based on the two key columns). <<
    MERGE statement; Google it. And do not use temp tables.

  • What is the best practice for AppleScript deployment on several machines?

    Hi,
    I am developing some AppleScripts for my colleagues at work and I don't want to visit each of them to deploy my AppleScript on their Macs.
    So, what is the best practice for AppleScript deployment on several machines?
    Is there an installer created by the Automator available?
    I would like to have something like an App to run which puts all my AppleScript relevant files into the right place onto a destination Mac.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    There's really no 'right place' to put applescripts.  folder action scripts nees to go in ~/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts (or /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts), anything you want to appear in the script menu needs to go in ~/Library/Scripts (or /Library/Scripts), script applications should probably go in the Applications folder, but otherwise scripts can be placed anywhere.  conventional places to put them are in ~/Library/Scripts or in a subfolder of ~/Library/Application Support if they are run by an application.  The more important issue is to make sure you generalize the scripts: use the path to command to get local paths rather than hard-coding them in, make sure you test to make sure applications or unic executables you call are present ont he machine, use script bundles rather tna scripts if you scripts have private resources.
    You can write a quick installer script if you want to make sure scripts go where you want them.  Skeleton verion looks like this:
    set scriptsFolder to path to scripts folder from user domain
    set scriptsToExport to path to resource "xxx.scpt" in directory "yyy"
    tell application "Finder"
      duplicate scriptsToExport to scriptsFolder with replacing
    end tell
    say "Scripts are installed"
    save this as a script application, then open the application pacckage and create a folder called "yyy" in the resources folder and copy your script "xxx.scpt" into it.  other people can run the app to install the script.

  • What is the best practice for creating master pages and styles with translated text?

    I format translated text all the time for my company. I want to create a set of master pages and styles for each language and then import those styles into future translated documents. That way, the formatting can be done quickly and easily.
    What are the best practices for doing this? As a company this has been tried in the past, but without success. I'd like to know what other people are doing in this regard.
    Thank you!

    I create a master template that is usually void of content, with the exception I define as many of the paragraph styles I believe can/will be used with examples of their use in the body of the document--a style guide for that client. When beginning a new document for that client, I import those styles from the paragraph styles panel.
    Exception to this is when in a rush I begin documentation first, then begin new work. Then in the new work, I still pull in those defined paragraph and or object styles via their panels into the new work.
    There are times I need new styles. If they have broader applicability than a one-off instance or publication, then I open the style template for that client and import that style(s) from the publication containing the new style(s) and create example paragraphs and usage instructions.
    Take care, Mike

  • What’s the best practice for this scenario?

    Hi,
    My users want the ability to change the WHERE and/or ORDER BY clause at runtime. They may define user preferences on each screen ( which is bind to a view object). They want to see the same records based on WHERE/ORDER BY defined on the last visit. That is why I keep the users preferences and load the screen based on that, using :
    View.setWhereClause(...);
    View.setOrderByClause(...);
    View.executeQuery();
    This works good when only one user working with the application but faced low performance when more than one user working with the application.
    What are the points to increase the performance and what is the best practice for this scenario?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Sung,
    I am talking only about 2 users in my testing. I am sure i missed something but could not recognize that.
    This page is my custom query page including a tag to instantiate app module in stateful mode at the top <jbo:ApplicationModule..> and a tag to instantiate data source <jbo:Datasource...> and release tag at the bottom <jbo:ReleasePageResources..> and some java code in the middle(body). The java code constructed the query statement and then fires the query to set the view object based on the query statement using the above methods.
    So, I am facing very slow performance(speed) when two clients load this page at the same time. Looks like the entire application locks for others when one client load this page and fire the query. i realized the battle neck is where executeQuery() is executing.
    what do you think.
    Thanks in advance for your comments.

  • What is the Best practice for ceramic industry?

    Dear All;
    i would like to ask two questions:
    1- which manufacturing category (process or discrete) fit ceramic industry?
    2- what is the Best practice for ceramic industry?
    please note from the below link
    [https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000409682008E ]
    i recognized that ceramic industry is under category called building material which in turn under mill product and mining
    but there is no best practices for building material or even mill product and only fabricated meta and mining best practices is available.
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I understand that you refer to production of ceramic tiles. The solution for PP was process, with these setps: raw materials preparation (glazes and frits), dry pressing (I don't know extrusion process), glazing, firing (single fire), sorting and packing. In Spain, usually are All-in-one solutions (R/3 o ECC solutions). Perhaps the production of decors have fast firing and additional processes.
    In my opinion, the curiosity is in batch determination in SD, that you must determine in sales order because builders want that the order will be homogeneus in tone and caliber, and he/she can split the order in diferents deliveries. You must think that batch is tone (diferents colours in firing and so on) and in caliber.
    I hope this helps you

  • What is the best practice for creating primary key on fact table?

    what is the best practice for primary key on fact table?
    1. Using composite key
    2. Create a surrogate key
    3. No primary key
    In document, i can only find "From a modeling standpoint, the primary key of the fact table is usually a composite key that is made up of all of its foreign keys."
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16579/logical.htm#i1006423
    I also found a relevant thread states that primary key on fact table is necessary.
    Primary Key on Fact Table.
    But, if no business requires the uniqueness of the records and there is no materilized view, do we still need primary key? is there any other bad affect if there is no primary key on fact table? and any benifits from not creating primary key?

    Well, natural combination of dimensions connected to the fact would be a natural primary key and it would be composite.
    Having an artificial PK might simplify things a bit.
    Having no PK leads to a major mess. Fact should represent a business transaction, or some general event. If you're loading data you want to be able to identify the records that are processed. Also without PK if you forget to make an unique key the access to this fact table will be slow. Plus, having no PK will mean that if you want to used different tools, like Data Modeller in Jbuilder or OWB insert / update functionality it won't function, since there's no PK. Defining a PK for every table is a good practice. Not defining PK is asking for a load of problems, from performance to functionality and data quality.

  • What is the best practice for using the Calendar control with the Dispatcher?

    It seems as if the Dispatcher is restricting access to the Query Builder (/bin/querybuilder.json) as a best practice regarding security.  However, the Calendar relies on this endpoint to build the events for the calendar.  On Author / Publish this works fine but once we place the Dispatcher in front, the Calendar no longer works.  We've noticed the same behavior on the Geometrixx site.

  • What are the best practices for generating an EPS logo from InDesign?

    Our costomer is running into technical issues with the logo we sent them, which was exported from Indesign. Images were not embedded and fonts missing. I was able to embed the images and fonts. However, we DO NOT want them to be able to make any text changes. So after exporting an eps, I opened the file in Adobe Illustrator and made all the text outlines. I hope this works. But I just wanted to post the question on what are the best practices for doing this?
    The client needs the logo with transparent background, images emebdded and type in outlines. Also, they need some space around the text. When I exported the eps, the file is right up on the edge of the type.

    It sounds like you are pretty far from "best practice" with regard to logo design and delivery.
    These days, the very use of the EPS format should be considered bad practice, and some other terms in your post, (i.e., 'images,' 'missing fonts'), make it sound like there is not a seasoned logo designer involved.
    That said, you probably already got the advice you need to get out of the immediate jam. However, without proper logo design, you and the client will soon be facing other problems. You should be delivering a 100% vector graphic in single-color (black) and corporate-color(s) versions, with no live font data, that has been test-scaled to very small and very large sizes; ensuring it will work at postage-stamp size and on the side of a truck or building, with specific spot color(s) and proportions that will enable it to be offset printed, embroidered and screen-printed on apparel, and cut into signage materials and decals.

  • What are the best practice for CQ5.5 configuration?

    Hello,
    What are the best practice for CQ5.5 configuration which handle for High availability.
    Last time I had a issues on server when I was uploaded 2 GB of DAM and then after that the server is not able to start and always getting error regarding Tar Persistance.
    So kindly request you to please let me know what are the best apache felix configuration.
    Thanks in advance...
    Regards,
    Satish

    Hi,
    A DAM upload, regardless of the size of the assets, never should result in TarPM problems, unless you run into an OOM, which left the repository in an unclean state. So if you regularly do DAM uploads of that size, you should check the Garbage Collection logs and probably adjust the heapsize if necessary. You might want to limit the number of concurrent running workflows to keep the memory consumption a bit lower.
    To your question: HA in a traditional sense you cannot achieve with a single box, even with optimized settings. In an author usecase you would need clustering.
