Adding additional TM Disks

I realize the default behavior is that Time Machine will start deleting old backups once it runs out of disk space. is there a way to simply add another drive when that time comes and have it back up to the 2nd drive before it starts deleting old backups?
Also, if during the course of a backup, I change the "files to exclude" by adding or deleting a file or directory, will that cause the backup to start all over from the beginning?

Just let TM do its thing. About all you can do, it's not feature-laden when it comes to configuring the backups. TM will clear older backups to accommodate the recent backups. You can speed the process by selecting backup folders, by date, and deleting them. You'll have to launch the TM application, chose your TM backup volume, select the backup folder dates for deletion, then use the "gear" in the title bar to remove them.
You might want to consider a RAID for your internal/external drives. Although there are inherent risks in combining multiple drives, it will make the backup solution, Time Machine, serve more as an archive solution.

Adding additional hard disk drives

Hey, I want to add additional hard drives to my mac and have got a couple of questions?
How many SATA ports are on the G5 Quad motherboard?
If I need to get a RAID card or similar which ones are recommended?
Thanks.

There is support for two internal SATA drives. If you only have one now then you can add one more and Apple makes the upgrade process painless.
If you want to add more drives than that you need to buy a third party bracket and a PCI-Express SATA card.

HT1175 How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

I can read your question a number of ways.
If you mean a disk plugged into your computer you wish to include in Time Machine backup.. just make sure it is HFS+ formatted and remove it from the exclusion list in the TM preferences.
If you mean a disk plugged into your TC for backup,
You can plug a USB disk into a Time Capsule as long as it is compatible.. and the disk is formatted HFS+, ie Mac OS extended Journaled.
You need a USB powered hub if you want to use multiple hard disks and even one might still need a hub.
Not all external drives are recogised but for example the Touro Deskpro works fine.
You can buy them up to 4TB.. how much added space do you want.
Also notice that USB 2 on a TC or AE is slow.. I mean half the speed of the same disk plugged into your computer so consider if speed is relevant to you.
You cannot use TM to backup network disks.. again I am not 100% sure what the question means.

Can we expand OCFS2 mount point Size by adding additional LUN?

can we expand OCFS2 mount point Size by adding additional LUN?

Looks like it should be possible....see if this helps:
extract from:http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/dist/documentation/ocfs2_faq.html
# Can OCFS2 file systems be grown in size?
Yes, you can grow an OCFS2 file system using tunefs.ocfs2. It should be noted that the tool will only resize the file system and not the underlying partition. You can use fdisk(8) (or any appropriate tool for your disk array) to resize the partition.
# What do I need to know to use fdisk(8) to resize the partition?
To grow a partition using fdisk(8), you will have to delete it and recreate it with a larger size. When recreating it, ensure you specify the same starting disk cylinder as before and a ending disk cylinder that is greater than the existing one. Otherwise, not only will the resize operation fail, but you may lose your entire file system. Backup your data before performing this task.

Adding additional j2ee node

Hello,
we are running BI 7 - abap+java stacks with 16 GB ram (recently added)
i would like to know what is the thumb rule for adding additional j2ee node?
when is it neccassary to add additional j2ee node?

Hi,
The JLaunch starts a Java program. It loads the JVM into its own address space and then represents the required cluster element. The program can receive notification from the JControl process via named pipes to stop the cluster element, and terminates, if the JControl stops running (fork emulation under Windows).
So Jlaunch consuming high CPU time means that server, dispatcher or bootstrap process consume it. If there are not enough system or application threads avaliable means that the engine must buffering requests for web application or system processes. Things to check in this case are:
SAP NOTE 1016241 - J2EE Engine hangs because of unsufficient system threads
SAP note: 716604 and upgrade JDK.
SAP note: 723909 -> set correct VM parameters
and if issue persists, then you will need to analyse the application causing teh leak...
SAP note: 1259465: Memory analyser.

FBL5N : Adding additional field PERNR to layout

Hi experts,
I had added additional field PERNR - personnel number in FBL5N layout for displaying in output.
I had added pernr- personnel number by following the path
SPRO -> Financial accounting ( new ) -> accounts receivable and accounts payable-> customer accounts ->line items -> display line items -> define additional fields for line item dispaly
here i added bseg - pernr
after adding , in FBL5N layout the field is appearing , but it is displaying blank in output .
Is there any thing needs to be done to display additional field in output of FBL5N.
kindly give me any suggestions.
thanks & tregards,
Raghul
Edited by: Raghul Gandhi on Mar 23, 2010 9:30 AM

Hi,
FBL5N: customer line item display.
BSEG-PERNR: personnel number.
Under which circumstances should BSEG-PERNR contain a value if you create customer related postings?
If there is no personnel number given during posting (why should it?) the field added to the FBL5N-layout will be empty.
Best regards, Christian

Adding additional tables to the extractor configuration

Hi Experts,
Can you please help me adding additional tables to the SAP extractor and to configure the field data in the orgstructure to show a flag against the position.
Luke - I have tried using the option said by you from Application-wide Settings-->Data Centre --> Read SAP Table, it has properly save the added table, but not able to see it from SAP extractor configruation and not able to extract any data. Also, can you please guide me how to use the fields from this table (HRP1010) to write a small piece of logic to show a flag for a particualr position based on data.
Thanks in advance,
Purandhar

Hi Purandhar,
I have tried using the option said by you from Application-wide Settings-->Data Centre
--> Read SAP Table, it has properly save the added table, but not able to see it from
SAP extractor configruation and not able to extract any data.
This has probably added a data element - I would check in the dataelementconfiguration folder in your build's .delta folder. IF so then you have the first step completed. Now you need to add the necessary configurations to use the data that comes through this data element.
Go to your orgchart/hierarchy and navigate to Views. Here select your view (or your first view if this needs to be done for more than one view - if so you'll need to repeate these steps but not the step you already did in the Data Centre), and then click the + icon next to Design Details. Here you can add a new linked detail to your view detail. Simply give it a name, select the detail to link it to (usually the top level detail which is in blue), select a link field and then select your data element that was created in the Data Centre.
Now if you try to add a section to your view inside the Design Details view designer you will see your new detail added. You can then select it and add fields from this detail.
Also, can you please guide me how to use the fields from this table (HRP1010) to write
a small piece of logic to show a flag for a particualr position based on data.
Once you have been able to add the data in the views designer you will probably need to do some XML and XSL editing because you cannot edit XSL files in the AdminConsole and you will need to do this to get your icon/flag to show.
First of all you need to create a new XSL file and put it into a folder in your .delta\root folder. For example, My_XSL_files. Here you need to write the code to render your flag based on your variable. You can find plenty of examples in all of the pre-existing XSL files. Then you need to copy PresentationResources.xml to .delta\root\XML and add the reference to your new XSL file.
Go to your build's .delta folder and go to detailconfiguration. Find the detail you just created and open it. You'll find a section in their that you just added with a reference to an XSL file (e.g. if you added a Simple Caption section it will probably be something like SimpleCaptionXSL). Change this to the reference in the PresentationResources.xml.
Load your build in the AdminConsole and hit Publish. Once done you should see your icon. Sometimes if your XSL is invalid or the code doesn't work you won't see anything. This is not unusual as the whole process can be quite tricky - even for us with lots of experience!
Good luck!
Luke

Adding additional sld

Hello,
we have 1 sld - configured on the portal dev -
i would like to add additional sld - configure it on the portal production - all the production systems will be added to this sld, and all the qa and dev systems will remain on the sld opn the portal dev
what are the specific pahses in adding additional sld , updating it if neccasary, and moving the relevent systems
Regards,
Moshe

Hi
The task could be done like this:
1) Activate the SLD in the EP prod and configure post-processing accord. to SLD guide
2) Ensure that the DEV-SLD and new PRD-SLD has the same CIM model version and SAP_CR version
3) Export the content from DEV-SLD (export line ALL)
4) Import this export into PRD-SLD
5) Configure all production systems "SLD data provider" to send technical data to PRD-SLD
6) Configure all production systems "SLD client role" to work with PRD-SLD
...now the DEV-SLD will only get technical data from the non-productions systems. If you want both SLD's to have a full view of alle systems then ALL systems could use PRD-SLD as target for their data suppliers and a sync from PRD-SLD to DEV-SLD can be set up... You maybe also need to supplement this strategy with manuel export/import of SLD content.

Adding additional dimensions in HFM

Hi Experts,
Need your advice.
Present scenario: we have an HFM application which is pulling data from Peoplesoft transactional system. for the current application we have created 4 custom dimension and based on it all the mappings were done.
Required:there is a requirement for adding additional custom dimension.
i just want to know if it is possible to add additional custom dimension in the present application without affecting the previous data within the application.
please advice the steps and the precautions to be taken.
will such addition affect the previous period data?
Thanks in advance.

What version of HFM are you running?
If you are at 11.1.2.2 (or higher I would imagine), then following link seems to provide some basic instructions on this process:
http://blog.topdownconsulting.com/2015/01/adding-custom-dimensions-hfm/
I would think about:
(1) Is an additional dimension necessary - could you possibly split up an existing custom dimension (in the past, when only 4 custom dims were allowed, many times a dimension would serve dual purposes),
(2) If you do decide to add a new dimension, this would be a major change that would effect all aspects of the application (data loading, reporting, historical data, consolidation rules, forms, grids, etc) - so, do you have a test system you could experiment with? At the very least you would want to make a copy of the current app and convert the copy as a test,
(3) probably you would want to do a thorough analysis of your consolidation rules before hand to see what the implications are of adding the new dim.

Improve Portal performance with BI-Java by adding additional server node.

Hi SAP Expert
I wonder anyone might have attempted this before,
In an environment with BI-Java and Portal Java stack installed on the same server, is it possible to improve the system performance by adding additional portal server node? or is there any improvement seen by adding the extra server node?
I am after suggestion and experience on how the portal performance can be improve, with consideration of BI-Java sharing Portal resources.
Any comment will be most appreciated.

Hi Jim,
We've this configuration at our site, Portal and BI running together (not federated). Recommendations would be to:
1. Set a sensibly large max heap size on each server node of Portal (at least 2GB if not larger) and implement several nodes at least. For example we have 4 x physical nodes, each running 3 server nodes of 2GB max heap size apiece so a total of 12 nodes.
2. Implement the BI Safety Belt for large results sets (1127156)
3. Implement the latest JVM / JDK you can on your environment. We found much improved performance after implementing JDK SR10 with the J9/2.3 options enabled e.g., -Xjvm:j9vm23
-Xsoftrefthreshold0
4. Patch your BI components on the Portal (BIBASES, BIWEBAPP etc) to the latest available patch level for your Portal SP level
5. Make sure all your RFC connections are load balanced to the backend and tuned for the kind of load you expect on your reports, and the BI is sized appropriately in terms of app servers and dialog work processes, RFC-enabled login groups in SMLG etc.
6. Consult notes 1048691 (especially useful, opions &PROFILING=X&TRACE=X added to reports for example for performance tracing), 937697, 1021921, 948158 for information about problem analysis for this scenario
7. Implement SAP Web Dispatcher for Portal to reduce load on static mime files
8. Tune the Portal application. There's plenty information on SDN related to Portal performance tuning.
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Marc

If it's a generic SATA HD you'll probably need to format it for Mac using Disk Utility.

Accidently added 3 voting disk into a diskgroup

Can you guide me how to get out of this situation . I am completely stuck and dont know where to go from here.
Thanks,

You may have to delete and add a new voting device (high level steps):
1) Shutdown CRS
2) Use:crsctl delete css votedisk <vote_disk_path> -force
3) Use:crsctl add css votedisk <vote_disk+path> -force
4) Check the voting disks status using: crsctl query css votedisk

Added additional user. How do I configure password for this user?

Have two different accounts. Second accound added but don't understand how to cinfigure password for this account.

A bit confused by your query, so can you clarify a few points.
re: added additional user
You do not add additional users to Thunderbird, so I presume you mean you have tried to create another mail account for someone else in your own profile.
You do not configure passwords for other peoples email addresses as that would be a privacy issue and only they should do it.
Lets start at the begining.
If more than one person is using a computer, they should have their own User Account which they access via a password they choose. This gives them their own desktop view and access to programs installed on computer, such as Thunderbird.
Thunderbird will be available for them to use.
When you run it for the first time in their User Account, it will create a Profile in their User Account.
Thunderbird will also then ask you to create a mail account in that Profile.
The details you enter will ask for Name. email address and a password.
That password is the same password they use to access their email in their webmail account using a browser, so only they should know that password and they should not divulge it to anyone - however in some cases, eg: spouses, they may know each others password.
You can choose whether Thunderbird remembers the password or not before creating the account, but the password would still be required to configure the mail account.
This method means that no one can see that persons emails nor access their password details because they do not know the password to the computer User Account.
If you have only the one admin User Account which several people use, then anyone has access to anything on that computer. This may be fine if eg; spouses share the computer, but it is not a practise that should be used in any other environment.
If you have mail accounts created in the same Thunderbird profile, then all mail and passwords are freely available for anyone to see and this may not be desired.
Some people use only the one User Account, but they have their own Profile created in Thunderbird.
When Thunderbird was initially run, it created a defult Profile, but you can add additional Profiles using the Profile Manager.
The mail account is created in that Profile and then they can apply a Master Password in Thunderbird.
This means that anyone can still see anyone's emails as on startup as anyone can select any Profile.
But, the access to passwords is locked and removal of Master Password will remove all stored paswords to safe guard privacy.
