Advantages to using external HD?

Hi,
I am having some difficulties sometimes with "Disk too slow" errors in Logic Express 9.  Some folks have suggested to use an external HD.  With the speed of Firewire and USB 2.0 compared to a HD, what are the advantages or disadvantages in using a Firewire External HD?
Please help!
Thanks!

I'm still a little new at this so I need some more clarification...
You're saying I can drag an imported Event from iM08 to my external HD (after I see the HD in the Event Library) and store that Event (movie file) for later use? Will the Event file really be removed from my iMac, freeing up space? Can those files stored on the external be used in iM06 or not because they were imported with 08?
I am trying to find a way to offload video from my HDV Sony, and come back to it later to edit or do whatever with it. I don't want to bog down my iMac with video I may not get to for a long time. It'd be nice if the file was in the external and I could chose between iM06 or 08 when I was ready to work on it.
Thanks for your advice.

  • Advantage of using External service mgt

    Dear All,
    Can any one tell me, what is the advantage of using service master(external service mgt) over creating service as a material in material type DIEN?
    Your input will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    sahu

    Hello, Sahu
    Before explaining the advantages of ESM, i want to clarify you about the DIEN (which is a standard material type for SERVICES)
    Material type DIEN is for Services
    Services can be performed internally or procured externally (outsourced). They cannot be stored or transported.
    Services can be
    -> Construction Services (like Centring, Shuttering) work
    -> Cleaning services (House keeping)
    -> Tax Consulting (Taxation for finance matters to company)
    Suggestion: You can create service master for the above mentioned services using the DIEN material type. But as we know that services CAN NOT BE STORED or Transported physically. Because Service (it's just a text which indicated what service to be performed by the vendor /external supplier, that you will be mentioning in PO when you create service PO) can only be measured through PERFORMANCE (i.e, through Activity based, i mean depending upon the ACTIVITY).
    That is Activity based Services can only be recorded, maintained and measured (i.e, Performances for each different activity) accurately through ESM.
    like, Service master record
    Standard service catalog,
    Service PO,
    Service Entry sheet.
    And the Purpose and Advantages of the ESM is as follows:
    This section provides a general introduction to MM External Services Management.
    It provides an overview of the functionality, shows how MM External Services Management is integrated into the Purchasing application within the Materials Management module, and indicates the interfaces to other applications.
    Purpose
    MM External Services Management (MM SRV) is an application component within the Materials Management (MM) module. It supports the complete cycle of bid invitation, award/order placement phase, and acceptance of services, as well as the invoice verification process.
    Features
    MM External Services Management provides a basic process for the procurement of externally performed services. This basic process comprises the following functionality:
    Service master records, in which descriptions of all services that may need to be procured can be stored. In addition, a standard service catalog and model service specifications are available.
    A separate set of service specifications can be created for each concrete procurement project in the desired document (e.g. PM maintenance plan or maintenance order; PS network; MM purchase requisition, RFQ, contract, purchase order, or service entry sheet).
    Service specifications can include items representing materials in addition to those representing services or activities.
    When creating voluminous sets of service specifications, you need not laboriously enter each individual service manually. Instead, you can make use of the referencing technique and the selection function to copy quickly and simply from existing master data and documents.
    MM External Services Management offers two basic ways of specifying services:
    As planned services with description, quantity, and price.
    By "planned services" we mean services whose nature and scope is known to you at the start of a procurement project or transaction.
    At the time the services are requested, the individual specifications are entered either with the aid of a service master record or directly as short and long texts. Price and quantity are specified in both cases.
    As unplanned services with the setting of a value limit only.
    By unplanned services, we mean services that cannot be specified in detail because their precise nature and scope are not initially known, or services which - for various reasons - you do not wish to plan. Unplanned services therefore have no descriptions.
    They are entered in the form of monetary limits. Services may be performed up to a value not exceeding these value limits. This allows you to exercise a degree of cost control in such situations.
    You can analyze data already available in the system in order to find suitable sources of supply for certain services.
    You can also carry out a bid invitation process and evaluate the bids submitted in response using the price comparison list function. You can then award a contract to (or place an order with) the desired vendor.
    During the phase of service performance (execution of work), various lists and totals displays enable you to retain an up-to-date overview of your service specifications, the progress of the work, and the costs being incurred.
    You can record the performance of services or work in service entry sheets.
    You can indicate your acceptance of the work set out in the entry sheets in various ways.
    Following acceptance, the vendor’s invoice can be verified and released for payment.
    As an alternative to this basic process, various accelerated and simplified processes are made available to you for use if desired in connection with specific procurement transactions.
    Integration
    MM External Services Management is completely integrated into the Materials Management system. The master data for the procurement of services can be stored in service master records, for example, which subsequently provide default data for the purchasing documents. Service specifications for a concrete procurement project are not created and processed separately each time (e.g. as bid invitation or contract specifications), but entered directly in the purchasing documents (e.g. in a request for quotation, quotation, purchase order or contract).
    The following graphic demonstrates the degree of integration of MM External Services Management:
    The External Services Management component is linked to the SAP modules PM Plant Maintenance and PS Project System. As a result, it is possible to create purchase requisitions for external services within the framework of maintenance measures or a project and then transmit them to Purchasing without incurring additional data maintenance work.
    The interaction of the R/3 modules MM, PS and PM, CO and FI saves time and effort and reduces the frequency of errors. This is because data need be entered once only, after which it is available for all follow-on activities within a business process.
    An example of the integration of MM and CO is purchase order commitments. The expected value of unplanned services is forwarded to CO from within MM so that a commitment figure can be established and monitored. This enables the relevant budget for procurement measures to be prepared in good time.

  • Can I use external APIs to authenticate users?

    I have been asked to develop a lightswitch application either as desktop client or HTML client. Now I am confused about the authentication
    mechanism in LightSwitch, and it leads a question: Can I authenticate my users from an external website or application?  
    For the HTML client, I have been thinking that whether I could use external APIs like Facebook Login API to authenticate my users? If I could, the code should be JavaScript, then where should I put it, and how can I configure my LS application?
    For the desktop client, same question, if I could identify my users by pulling some user information from an external website, what kind of code/Programming Language shall I use? 

    Hey ConnorTx!
    This is not supported out of the box.
    For in-browser desktop applications, you can hack around this by setting up the social media credentials, then redirecting to your desktop application while passing the self-encrypted credentials.  I explained this workaround in
    this article.
    I don't have enough production experience with HTML apps yet.  However when you use Forms authentication, I suspect you can simply fill in the IPrincipal on the HttpContext.Current, then redirect to your HTML app, and the LightSwitch Forms Auth mechanism
    would pick up your principal as valid credentials.  I wish I had time to show you some code for this, would make a great blog post :/
    Keep rocking LS!

  • After upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the virtual memory while using external HD

    after upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the "virtual memory size" while using external HD. I check it using Activity Monitor and found that "Finder" wll increase the "Virtual Memory Size" and "Private Memory Size". and then after a while. the system told me my HD is full and hanging there.
    My External HD is 1TB. and I have installed new version Paragon NTFS for Mac V.9.01. I am not sure it is related or not.
    but I attached my external HD. the "Finder" will start to increase the "Virtual Memory Size".
    please help out this case and solve this issue.
    thank you !!!

    The one has nothing to do with the other. Virtual memory size and Private memory size are used by developers to analyze their software. it has nothing to do with anything related to the user.

  • How can I use external clock to implement a delay?

    Hi all,
      I am testing to use external clock to drive dev/PFI0 (on device 6711) which is used as the clock for the analog ouput. I have thinking two applications by using the external clock but I don't have much idea on the implementation yet.
    First of all, I have a sequence of data (array) with each sample being sent at the interval of 1us. I use an external clock (10MHz) driving the PFI0 so it is pretty easy to achieve that goal. I am thinking what happen if I want each sampel being sent at different time. For example, if I have 5 samples, I want the first one sent 1us after the task start and wait 2us to send the 2nd sample, wait 5us to send the 3rd sample and wait 11 us to send the 4th sample, and wait 1us to send the last sample. Is it possible to achieve that based on the external clock?
    Second question is about the delay. My code require ciritcal timing and the builtin delay doesn't behave very well because I am running in windows. I can increase the priority of the vi to highest, it helps a bit but still not perfect. I am thinking if it is possible to implement hardward delay based on the external clock. Any idea?

    Hello dragondriver,
    To answer your first question, yes you could send data in that fashion. You would have to programmatically build a pulse train and use that to trigger the sending of data. The answer to the second question is essentially the same. You should be able to programmatically build a pulse train with a delay and use it as trigger to begin whatever operation you have.

  • If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    No, it only mirrors changes to synced data.  This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data).  Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud.  In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.

  • How to remove namespaces in mapping when using External Definition

    Hi,
    I read in the blog (/people/sameer.shadab/blog/2005/12/05/how-to-remove-namespaces-in-mapping--xi) that you are able to remove namespaces in mapping by deleting the value from XML Namespace under the Message Type. However, is it possible to do this when you are using External Definition (xsd) ? The blog only describe how to do this if you define a Data Type.

    Hi ,
    No ..it is not possible to remove the namespace once you imported into IR of external defintion.You can remove your namesapce from external definition before importing into IR.

  • Is there a way to run an existing PS-JS script using external interface

    I have several previously written Photoshop JS scripts which I'd like to run through buttons on PS panels, much like the example for the HelloWorld introduction. I assume that--using external interface--I'll somehow be able to fire off these script files. Is this a correct assumption?
    Thanks!

    Certainly, but not with external interface.
    Have a look at the cookbooks. There are examples of how to use the root host object to call directly into extendscript.

    Nikolai,
    I have created a simple process flow which only calls the external process. The script is on the same host as the process flow is deployed to.
    I have used two diffent values for the command parameter.
    1. I placed the full path of the file in the command parameter and left the script parameter blank:
    COMMAND: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
    PARAMETER_LIST:
    SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
    SCRIPT:
    2.I placed the bash command in the command parameter and the full path in the script parameter.
    COMMAND: /usr/bin/sh
    PARAMETER_LIST:
    SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
    SCRIPT: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
    Both of these appear to work as they print out the statements inside the script but the files that are supposed to be removed still remain.

    ===========================
    In the error it is showing that file expense_categories.csv in SOURCE_LOCATION not found but I am 100% sure that file is very much there.
    Is anybody face the same issue?
    Do we need to configure something before loading data from a flat file from OWB Client?
    Any help would higly appreciable.
    Regards,
    Manmohan Sharma

    Hi Detlef / Gowtham,
    Now I am able to fetch data from flat files from OWB Server as well as OWB Client.
    One way I have achieved as suggested by you
    1) Creating location on the OWB Client
    2) Samples the files at client
    3) Created & Configured external table
    4) Copy all flat files on OWB Server
    5) Updated the location which I created at the client.
    Other way
    1) Creating location on the OWB Client
    2) Samples the files at client
    3) Created & Configured external table
    4) Copied flat files on the sever in same drive & directory . like if my all flat files are on C:\data at OWB Client then I copied flat file C:\data on the OWB Server. But this is feasible for Non-Windows.
    Hence my problem solved.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Error while using External Table

    Hi Guru's,
    I am using external tables in my procedure and the code to create it will be dynamically built inside the procedure itself. I have tested it so many times and it works fine only. But suddenly now it is throwing some error and i was not able to figure out the problem.
    Additional Info:
    1. I have provided the full rights to the input directory.
    2. Working in Oracle 10g release 2
    3. Unix OS in server

    Sometimes when troubleshooting issues like this it is helpful to output the dynamic SQL generated to the screen or spool it to a text file. From there it's usually easy to determine where the problem lies.
    If you can provide that one of the forum members can figure it out.

  • Using External Library in a DC problem (SP16)

    Hi,
    I've been trying to get the example that Valery is outlining in his <a href="/people/valery.silaev/blog/2005/09/14/a-bit-of-impractical-scripting-for-web-dynpro">Blog</a>.
    I've done it exactly as Valery says, but I can't get it to work. I create the External Library DC, add the jar to Public Part (purpose Assembly) and build. Builds ok.
    I then proceed to creating the J2EE Library. It is created ok. I then add the External Lib I just created to Used DCs. This goes ok. I build the DC. There are warnings:
    Warning: Warning: Source folder does not exist, will be ignored: server
    Plugin initialized in 0.03 seconds
    Warning: No runtime information available for development component type External Library (sap.com), cannot validate runtime dependency.
    And:
    createDeployArchive:

           [cda] WARNING: Ignoring invalid runtime dependency on js/jars (orion.com), type External Library
    I've tried nearly every combination of Dependency Types When adding the used DC to J2EE DC. The jar never ends up in the SDA file in gen\default\deploy or jar in gen\default\public. I only get different types of warnings.
    Here is the whole build.log:

    What am I doing wrong ?
    Kind Regards,

    Hi,
    There is an issue with SP16 in using External library DC.
    Go through this Jars not included in J2EE Library DC SDA. This thread deals with the same issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique ?

    What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique

    Hi Plawansai,
    I saw your question that is still unanswered.
    I believe an advantage of using a passive monitoring technique is that it won't interfer with live traffic, as it does not inject traffic into the network or modify the traffic that is already on the network.
    One drawback anyway, is that post-processing time can take a large amount of time with passive monitoring!
    A combination of the two monitoring methods seems to be the route to go.
