Advice Required on whether I should use RBS

Scenario:
Current Production SharePoint Farm (WSS3.0) has a Content DB size of 37,028 MB and contains 109796 documents. I calculate the average size of the documents to be 0.34 MB in size.
I want to install a new SharePoint Farm (SPF2010) and a previous decision was made to implement RBS using the Local FILESTREAM provider. However, upon reading through the TechNet documentation, I have my doubts whether the previous decision was correct.
Disk Space isn't an issue as the SQL Server is currently running at 40% disk capacity and has 1.86 TB Free. I have been advised that my pre-decessor made the decision to use RBS, was based on the expected performance gains, but from what I understand, these
are only seen if the average size of your documents exceed 1 MB.
I am just after some 2nd opinions....
I have also seen the following article, which suggests that SQL FILESTREAM RBS shouldn't be used in a Production environment:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/a58d84e4-7bf9-4932-b7f6-19b0ebc75a47/should-filestream-rbs-provider-be-used-in-sharepoint-2010-production?forum=sharepointadminprevious

The built in RBS provider isn't the greatest, i haven't tried using it in anger but the verdict amongst those i trust is that if you're going to be using enough content to merit it then spend the extra to get a better performing 3rd party solution.
A content database of 37GB isn't worth the added support costs and headaches of RBS (configuration, risk, backup and recovery). You'd set it up to only externalise content over 1MB so from that respect you'd probably see a net gain, however that gain isn't
going to be huge, it really comes into its own in large document repository scenarios.
With content that small you'd see far more improvement ripping out the storage array and moving to mirrored SSDs instead (assuming DAS is an option). Other options would be to shell out on more RAM so that SQL can keep more of it's data in the cache.

Advice required on a select statement using "FOR ALL ENTRIES"

Hi,
this is really intresting ...
I have a small requirement where in i have to find out
the valid entries in my internal table (T_MATNR) by using a select statement to a check table (MARA) which has all the fields present in the internal table T_MATNR.
Select statement is
SELECT MATNR
 MTART
 from MARA
 for all entries in T_MATNR
 into table T_MATNR
 where matnr eq T_MATNR-MATNR.
If you observe the itab in the option 'FOR ALL ENTRIES' and the destination table is the same. I want to know whether this is correct? will it cause any performance issue? right now this statement is working fine for me.

Hi,
U have to use
SELECT MATNR
MTART
from MARA
into table I_MATNR(different table)
for all entries in T_MATNR
where matnr eq T_MATNR-MATNR.
If u r specifying both same table name then for what entries it will retrieve, if u have alreay selected some entries and appending u can use
SELECT MATNR
MTART
from MARA
into table T_MATNRwhere matnr eq T_MATNR-MATNR.
then
SELECT MATNR
MTART
from MARA
appending table T_MATNR
for all entries in T_MATNR
where matnr eq T_MATNR-MATNR.
In this way u can do.
Hope u got it.

Advice required for a wpf window used for survey?

I am developing a wpf desktop application which contains a survey form. Survey form includes bunch of radio buttons. at the end, i want that survey form to be converted in to pdf with the similar layout as in the window of application as shown in the fig:
I want your expert opinion what should be best for me and user in the following options?
I should convert the window to xps or pdf OR
i should just skip window and make a similar pdf layout that can be filled by user during survey using adobe reader pro and show it to user(In that case, we wont need to convert
anything, it will already be in pdf). OR
I should just take the snapshot of the survey window and then compile it in a pdf form.
Extra:
I have already written all the radio buttons information to a text file. Initially.Initially i thought that user should save the information and then he can read it from a text file but that's unprofessional. I tried to make a flow document but its very hard
to make layout in Flow document. I tried PdfSharp, it was helpful but then there was document in pdfSharp where user will fill a pdf. So i got confused. Any further suggestion on this matter will be appreciated. Thanks

There is no built-in feature that enables you to convert a window or a control to a PDF in .NET nor WPF so you will have to use some third-party tool to be able to this. Note that you should not ask questions about third-party software in these forums though
as they are intended for Microsoft's products and technologies only.
Please refer to the following thread for an example of how you could convert a WPF control, such as for example the root panel (Grid, StackPanel or whatever you are using) to an XPS document:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/502198/convert-wpf-xaml-control-to-xps-document.
Using the approach mentioned in the link above you could just take "a snapshot" of the panel that contains the radio buttons and save it to an XPS document.
Creating interactive user intefaces as a PDF in Adobe Reader Pro doesn't sound like a good idea and converting an existing PDF into a WPF GUI doesn't either. Then you probably better stick to your window with radio buttons and then convert the result into
an XPS document. Or you could save the content of the Grid, StackPanel or whatever to an image and then use some third-party sofware to generate a PDF file from the image if you necessarily want a PDF output:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4560173/save-wpf-view-as-image-preferably-png
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8881865/saving-a-wpf-canvas-as-an-image
Hope that helps.
Please remember to close your threads by marking helpful posts as answer and then please start a new thread if you have a new question. Please don't post several questions in the same thread and please don't post questions about third-party software in the
MSDN forums.

Any advice on which method I should use?

Essentially, I will be collecting a varaible number of longs. Te fixed length of arrays makes it seem inefficient and I am not sure what collection method/object I should be using otherwise. Please advise. Thank you.

Essentially, I will be collecting a varaible number
of longs. Te fixed length of arrays makes it seem
inefficient and I am not sure what collection
method/object I should be using otherwise. Please
advise. Thank you.You can use an ArrayList of Long.
An ArrayList basically is a dynamic array implementation so it will grow in size as you add the Longs.
Not that I write Long instaed of long. Long is the wrapper class of the long primitive. ArrayLists can only store objects so if you add longs they will be converted to Long objects instead. This is a drawback but it may not be a problem for you?
One possible strategy is to first collect the Longs in an ArrayList and then when you know the actual umber of longs create a static long array of that size.

I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive. The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power. Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?

You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work.

Advice Required : Unusual website client request.

Hello,
This isn't a joke!
I have been asked by a client to build a website that satisfies the following criteria.
1. All webpages must end with .html
2. The webpages must not require any particular web technology behind the scenes to work.
3. It's fine if website requires javascript.
They have some good reasons for this.
1. If all the webpages end with .html then any future change in backend technology would not adversely effect search engine indexing.
2. Similar to 1 in that they don't want changes in back-end technology to require any significant change in the existing html.
I have a rough idea how to deliver this and I would welcome any advice or comments anyone may care to offer.
My plan is to...
1. Develop the server side of things using java - but not .jsp's
2. Develop the client side of things using html and javascript so ending in .html
3. Connect the server and client side using AJAX approach, so seperating client from server.
Is this a foolish approach or am I thinking along the right lines?
Is there a java technology I should use?
Thanks

Hello Steve,
Thanks for your thoughts.
re: #2. They are more concerned that there (client-side) web pages are 'clean' of any (server-side) code. I think what they mean is that say their website was made using JSP/Servlets and then (for some reason) they wanted to switch to .NET, then they want (ideally) such a change to have almost zero impact on the client-side web pages.This could mean two things:
1) The code sent to the client is pure HTML/Javascript
2) The code that makes up the View is pure HTML/Javascript
If 1) then a full use of JSP is no problem, because JSPs generate regular HTML, nothing special about it.
But the JSP would be the View, so if they want 2) then you would not be able to use JSPs. You would end up doing a lot more work and use a lot more servlet code to do what essentially JSPs already do.
>
Mapping .html as you suggest in order to continue using JSP's is really interesting. I have just set up a sandpit java web app using SSI filter mapped to .html, so that #include virtual="" can be used in the html to import headers, footers, nav links, javascript files, etc. Maybe your suggestion is a simpler approach?
What do you think?I think using JSPs for this is the better choice, because you get a lot more functionality and a lot simpler/easier to maintain code.
Coding for a maybe change to a completely different architecture is a nightmare. From the client perspective I agree, searched/bookmarked pages should the same, and with a well designed View layer, this is no problem. But the server-side should leverage the entire servlet architecture or is a waste.

Lindsay,
Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

Hey guys, i dont know whether i should buy a macbook pro 13" or 15".

Hey guys,
i dont know whether i should buy a macbook pro 13" or 15". May you give me some advice? I need a MacBook for bootcamp, office (especially word), a little bit of software development and a lot of safari. The 13" is small and fits perfectly in every bag. The 15" has more performance and a bigger display, but is it worth to pay 600 bucks more just for a bigger display. And what about the noise of the fan? What are your experiences??
best regards
Viktor

Here's what you get more, just off the top of my head, without looking at the specs:
• Quad core i7 vs. Dual core i7 (and even then, you pay more for it)
• Discrete AMD graphics card on 15" vs. integrated Intel HD graphics on 13" (which also is available on 15" when low battery usage is required)
• Larger graphics memory for better 3D, better photographic and video processing
That's just off the top of my brain. If none of those matter, then sure, save money. At that point, however, save more money and get the MacBook Air, IMHO.

What are the critical points to validate whether the client uses PP or not?

Hi,
We are woking for a project which involves more than 80 SAP instances (80 clients), and with in the same instance we have more than one country (e.g: client 100 may have 5 countries india, srilanka, bangaladesh, china and singapore). Now our challenge is to validate which are the countries using SAP PP Shop floor control activities (Creation of Production orders, settlement etc...). Please list the critical points against which we can validate. Hope my question is clear. Any clarification required please reply to this thread. Expecting quick response from the experts. Thank you.
Note: I have tried using "workscheduling view" of material master, COOIS report etc.., still i did not get clear validation. I would appreciate if experts provide technical validation points.

Dear Krishnan,
First thing is you have to know whether client is using
Discrete , REM or PP-PI
From Discrete point of View ( Configurations )
Check in
OPJH, OPL8, OPKJ, OPK4, OPKP ( whether for plant & order type combination parameters are maintained are not )
Coming to REM
check in OSP2, whether REM profile settings are maintained for the plants
Coming to Master data
just refer the below link & check give the plant as input

RFC and Webservice which one i should use and why?

Hi,
I have to write a extractor program in BI which would be fetching a huge data from CRM.
I have two options to achieve this targer.
1-> Create a RFC which will give me all the data
2-> Create a Webservice in CRM and use it in BI
Please advice me , which way i should go and advantage of that way.
Regards
PG

Hi,
If amount of data is huge then it is recomnded to use RFC because of its speed and reliability. Webservice not yet proven good for extracting and handling very large chunk of data.
