Advantage and disadvantage of using the utility RAID

Hello, I do need a little help.
I just got a new Mac Pro 8Core, with 6x8 GHz ram, two 2TB hard drives. I would love to know what would be the advantage doing RAID using the mac utility. Will the computer work faster and by aprrox. how much? Is there a disadvantage. Is it worth dong it?
Thank you in advance.
ME

In short, you can improve the performace of your mac by "striping" your drives in a RAID 0 configuration, but i would strongly advice against it, as it is not a fault tolerant configuration, meaning that if one of your drives fail, it will mean you loose all your data (yes even the data written to the healthy drive) because of the way it is written to disk in that config. And seeing you are using 2TB drives, I assume that is also your main storage.
If you are looking to improve the performace of your mac you should rather look in to getting a separate solid state drive for the system and application, and keep your documents and media on the 2TB drives. A SSD will usually reduce both the time it takes to boot your system, and the time to launch applications among other things, and is the single best upgrade for your already spiffy system. A 40GB drive should be just fine, but you would want to do some research first , as the performance can vary a lot among manufacturers.

Advantages and disadvantages of using views ???

Hi
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using views in ABAP porgramming ?
Thank You

hi,
Data about an application object is often distributed on several tables. By defining a view, you can define an application-dependent view that combines this data. The structure of such a view is defined by specifying the tables and fields used in the view. Fields that are not required can be hidden, thereby minimizing interfaces. A view can be used in ABAP programs for data selection.
More complicated views can comprise several base tables, the individual tables being linked with a relational join operation. If we dont specify the key fields, it takes time to fetch teh results.

Advantage and disadvantage of using Sharepoint third party themes

Hi all,
Am planning to use third party themes and template to complete my development quickly. Can anyone recommend any good sites / vendor for theme available in market.? My project is going to have 25% customization for sure + Multi device- multi
browser + Multilingual support so do suggest me advantage and disadvantage of themes which your recommending please?
Thanks in advance
Regards,

Hi,
Using third party themes can save your time, but it is not conducive to the expansion and demand change in the future.
It is recommend that customizing your own theme if you had enough budget.

Advantages and disadvantages for having the central purchasing organization

Hi all,
Cud neone list out the advantages and disadvantages of having central purchasing organization.
and what is the best practice of selecting the puchasing organization.
Thanks

Hi
Cud neone list out the advantages and disadvantages of having central purchasing organization.
Rather than asking for the advantages and disadvantages it will be helpful if u see why the functionality of having the purchase organisation centrally and decentralised has been provided in SAP. I hope u have seen the help file in ur SAP about purchase organisation.
The point u can note down which will be of importance is Each purchasing organization has its own info records and conditions for pricing. if u go for the centralised purchasing organisation say in company code u have three plants and purchasing organisation is for all theree plants, then the conditions and inforecords holds for all the thrre plants. If u go for the decentralised say for each plant different purchse organisation then each plant has its own inforecords and conditions. This is upto the business requirement which u should select.
Similarly u can use this logic for the following cases
Each purchasing organization has its own info records and conditions for pricing.
Each purchasing organization has its own vendor master data.
Each purchasing organization evaluates its own vendors using MM Vendor Evaluation.
Authorizations for processing purchasing transactions can be assigned to each purchasing organization.
All items of an external purchasing document, that is, request for quotation, purchase order, contract, or scheduling agreement, belong to a purchasing organization.
The purchasing organization is the highest level of aggregation (after the organizational unit "client") for purchasing statistics.
The purchasing organization serves as the selection criterion for lists of all purchasing documents.
Here u can apply the logic and see how centralised and decentralise purchasing organisation effects. Whethe u want the data should be applicable for all plants then go for centralised if not go for decenralised.
what is the best practice of selecting the puchasing organization.
I think there is no best practice as such and it depends on how u r company business works.
I welcome the comments from experts if there is any best practice.
Thanks

Advantages and Disadvantages of using Nintex forms. is this product useful?

So my company has decided to start developing using Nintex products, we initially had Nintex Workflow and now they are thinking of purchasing Nintex forms. and i was asked to start trying it out.
I am currently midway through the development of a sharepoint app and i really like the REST APIs available in sharepoint 2013 as they enable me to develop using javascript and HTML5, quite basic stuff but very powerful.
Now they are asking me to try this black boxed product out, so i have to waste a couple of days on this...
I watched a couple of youtube videos and all they brag about is how easy it is to drag and drop components on the screen and visually design a form when this is the feature i care about the least. To me what counts most is how easy it would be to customize
the form to do something that was not foreseen in the black box product.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of using Nintex forms over using Javascript/HTML 5/Sharepoint REST ?
many thanks

With a developer hat on, I can appreciate that custom solutions can potentially be easier to build and manipulate, as you are not adopting anyone's framework and may have less constraints building with a blank canvas each time.
With a business owner or business analyst hat on, there are many advantages for using a product or application to build repeatable solutions such as forms.
SharePoint can quickly fall into demise if users (end user or super user) have free reign to build and deploy custom solutions, as they may or may not follow a consistent build pattern, and even other super users or developers can have difficulties interpreting
and adopting solutions, should someone (such as yourself) leave an organisation.
This is where products can provide significant return on investment. Products such as Nintex are built by experts in more than HTML, REST and JavaScript, but SharePoint as well. They provide a framework which ensures Form and Workflow designers follow a consistent
approach, and each solution can quickly be viewed and interpreted by other users.
Data gathering (forms) and workflow are also usually repeatable and work. I.e. in most organisation you need more than one of each. Products targeted to repeatable tasks are more efficient and accurate than custom code solutions and follow a more consistent
and defined approach in building t
Product solutions are continually developed and enhanced - which can be applied to existing creations. E.g. if Nintex Forms deploy an upgrade, all existing forms now have this functionality. There is no manual code updates required. That, and they are also
supported.
There is definitely a place for custom development in SharePoint, but for the purposes of quickly repeatable solutions such as forms & workflow, there should be a decent amount of analysis into requirements before taking the custom route.

[Standby Database] Advantage and Disadvantage of using stanby redolog

Hi fellow DBA. I'd like to ask the disadvantage and advantage of using standby redo logs. I hope you could help me out. Thanks

Advantages
1. if your Standby needs to run on Maximum Availability or Protection modes you have to use the Standby redo logs
2. Redo data writen on the primary will be written to standby at the same time. therefore if you primary fails you have a fall back option without or minimum data lost.
(LGWR with Sync option on Maximum Protection will have Zero Data lost.)
3. It uses LGWR than ARCH process on the standby.
4. If you are using Cascaded Destinations (cascade Standby Databases - One standby sends the Redo to another Standby ) Then you have to use Standby redo logs.
5. Standby redo logs can create even after the standby database creation.
Disadvantages
1. Your Primary Has to Write data into two different Redo logs. Hence there will be a delay on the transaction response time.
(But with Maximum Availability and LGWR with aSync option will not wait the transactions to be commited on standby database) .
Refer the note 219344.1 Usage, Benefits and Limitations of Standby Redo Logs (SRL)
Hope you will have a fair idea about this

Advantages and Disadvantages of having the APs and the WLC Management on same subnet

Good day Experts;
I have a 5760 WLC running as a centralized mode with 3702 AP terminating the CAPWAP tunnels on the 5760, I've also have another 5760 WLC with HA license, running on standby mode.
I have two questions:
1.- Can you please confirm that I don't need to configure "AP Manager" on the 5760 WLC (i.e. I don't need the following statement: "wireless ap-manager interface vlanx" ). I don't need this configuration statement even the APs are on a different subnet than the Management of the WLC.
2.- Are there any advantages and/or disadvantages of having the APs and the management of the 5760 WLC Management on a different subnet/vlan?
Thanks;
Juan

Hi Juan,
1. Can you please confirm that I don't need to configure "AP Manager" on the 5760 WLC
Yes, you do not want to create ap manager interface on 5760. Just management interface & that will do everything. Below should cover basics of the 5760 config
http://mrncciew.com/2013/12/12/getting-started-with-5760/
2.- Are there any advantages and/or disadvantages of having the APs and the management of the 5760 WLC Management on a different subnet/vlan?
If you put AP management on the same vlan as WLC management, then AP broadcast discovery messages will reach WLC management. So you do not want to configure any WLC discovery mechanism (DNS or DHCP option 43) for AP to find WLC to register. This is ok for small scale deployment, but if you have 500-1000 AP these AP broadcast reaching WLC will be problematic (burden WLC). So it is recommended to seperate AP management to WLC management in large scale deployment. In that case you have to define a way to AP to get WLC IP information (DNS or DHCP option 43 is most common)

What are the advantages and disadvantages to using Snow Leopard?

My computer runs best on Snow Leopard but can also run Lion. It's a 2009 Macbook unibody model.

Since it's a 4 year old machine, in it's end of life stage and 10.7+ will slow it down in performance, I'd say stay on 10.6.8 and be happy.
10.6 still has a rather large amount of the OS X version market share and Apple isn't doing what they did under Jobs was to ignore a OS X version still in significant market share.
Apple HQ and about 750,000 Mac's got compromised by the Flashback botnet, so Apple went all the way back to 10.5 Intel to fix the problems they neglected so now they are paying better attention to the older OS X versions.
There will ALWAYS be a newer OS X version with more bells, whistles and eye candy to drive a hardware purchase, however unless your machine was purchased within a couple years of a new OS X release, it's likley best to just kick back and enjoy what you have and make it last.
There are people out there still running 10.5 on PowerPC machines even.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
You can try to keep up with Apples asinine annual OS X release cycle, but it's only going to cost a lot more money in software, headaches and even bricked hardware, which occured to a LOT of people when 10.7 was released.
If a OS X upgrade bricks your machine and your not in AppleCare, your screwed.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If your machine can't go to 10.8, then it can't do 10.9, so you'll be behind again here shortly when it's released this fall.

Advantages and disadvantages of using only sequence files or working with sequence files in projects

Hello,
can anyone please tell me the advantage of using projects instead of just a sequence file? Do I need projects only if I have more than one sequence file?
Thanks a lot!

MGH,
Projects are meant to help with organization of TestStand files, but with the intention of use as part of a deployment of your test system. As the TestStand Reference Manual (page 2-5) puts it:
"In TestStand, you can create a workspace to organize and access your development files. A TestStand workspace file (.tsw) contains references to any number of TestStand project files. A TestStand project file (.tpj) contains references to any number of other files of any type.
Use TestStand project files to organize related files in your test system. You can insert any number of files into a project. You can also insert folders in a project to contain files or other folders."

Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Oracle 7 Client with Oracle 9 Server

Hello,
I was wondering what are the advanatges of using Oracle 7 client with Oracle 9 Server versus using Oracle 9 Client with Oracle 9 server.

Some years ago I used 7.3 Client with 9i DB, and I don't remember of particular problems, but I'm speaking of Sql*Plus only. Are there specific problems ?
Of course the best thing is to install one 9i Client (did you already do it ?) : if there are same problems, then that's not compatibility issue.
And what are advantages of using 9 Client with 9 server other than 7 is no longer supported.You're sure you won't have compatibility problems.

What is the Advantage and Disadvantage of Pre-Compiled JSP

Hi All,
What is the advantage and disadvantage of using pre-compiled JSP

Pro:
By pre-compiling your JSPs you don't need a java compiler on the server - just a jre.
The result? No java compiler on the server means a potential security hole patched - people can't just write and deploy jsp's willy nilly on the server.
You KNOW that all your JSPs compile before you visit them - because you have compiled them all :-). It won't fail because of a stupid spelling miskate that prevents compilation. That doesn't mean they will run without error of course...
Con:
Compiling the JSPs ties them to a particular server - unless you take the runtime along with them.

What are the advantage and disadvantages of upgrad...

please do tell me the advantage and disadvantages of updating the software of my 5530. Thank you

This is written generally as the specifics of the new 5530 update are unknown, although it is believed to be just a minor bug fix update.
Advantages:
Bug fixes
Speed increases
Stability increases
The possibility of new features.
Disadvantages:
New bugs may be introduced.
Something may go wrong during the update that could leave the phone unusable.
Disappearing languages if the phone has previously been modified by the retailer (for example they imported the phone from another country and modified it to include other languages).
If you are happy with your phone then it's probably best not to update it if you are worried about potential problems.

Advantage and Disadvantage of user login ID

Dear SAP expert,
I need some advice whether to use "employee no." or "name" to create SAP login.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of using employee no. ?
Thanks.

Hi Nitin,
A view can be thought of as either a virtual table or a stored query. The data accessible through a view is not stored in the database as a distinct object. What is stored in the database is a SELECT statement. The result set of the SELECT statement forms
the virtual table returned by the view. A user can use this virtual table by referencing the view name in Transact-SQL statements the same way a table is referenced.
For more information about the advantages and disadvantages of views in SQL Server, please refer to the following two articles:

Advantages and Disadvantages of BEx Analyzer

Dear All,
Please specify the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES of using BEx Analyzer for reporting over a browser.Does the analyzer provide better performance?generate exhaustive reports?and found better by users since it is excel based?
Yours truly,
Ratish

+919820827647

Hello Ratish,
The advantages and disadvantages are primarily based on the light weight client and heavy client.
Excel -
1. It is heavy weight and needs a client installation
2. Analysis is easier , as excel functionalities can be used over BI data
3. People who know excel will like this
Web-
1. It is light weight and no installation needed at the client as browser will be available
2. Can not analyze the data from the report ( you need copy to excel)
In simple analysts and expert users like excel.
Users who just view the report and no more analysis will be happy with web.
