Anything bad about using parallels?

I need to use a couple of windows app's....
I do have the option of using my sony vaio laptop for this, but i want to be able to do everything on my mac......
my only concern is.....are there any negatives to using parallel????
tnk you!~

I use Parallels quite often, on a 2Ghz MacBook with 2GB ram.
I have a couple of tips:
a) Firstly, when you set up your 'virtual machine' for the first time, Parallels asks you how much RAM you would like to allocate to Windows.
Ensure that you stick with the reccomended amount. For me, this was in the region of 940MB. Although it is tempting to make it bigger (if you want better Windows performance), you can and probably will notice more sluggish performance.
b) Parallels presently has some limitations with USB support. You should check out their site FAQ if you need to work with USB devices and Windows.
c) You can use 'Parallels Tools' to easily set up a shared folder 'link' between the 2 operating systems. This requires no drive mapping/network setup.
d) Do download antivirus and firewall software for the Windows side if you intend to take it online. With a shared folder link active, viruses within Windows can 'see' and potentially affect files on other volumes, in this case the Mac's own hard drive. I reccomend the free AVG antivirus, and Sunbelt Kerio firewall.
That's about it! Have fun

Using Parallels to run JCreator

Hello,
I have a new MacBook 2.0 Core Duo with 1 gig ram.
I am thinking about using parallels so that I can boot into Windows and so that I can use JCreator for Java programming.
(This is required software for my class)
Can you tell me if I can expect good results with with the set-up and amount of ram.
Also, I have 3 MAC's, do I need a license for each one? If so, do they sell bundles?
Thanks,
Jay

If you're going to be doing development, I suggest you get at least another 1GB RAM.
That way you can allocate more memory to the VM.

Is using Parallel Hint /*+PARALLEL */ good or bad?

Hi,
I am facing problem in using /*+ PARALLEL */ hint in SQL Query its taken long time to execute.
Is using PARALLEL Hint degrades performance?
The Table FCT_TABLE is having PARALLEL ( DEGREE DEFAULT INSTANCES DEFAULT ) clause.
We are using parallel hint as SELECT /*+ PARALLEL(FCT_TABLE 2)
Any help will be needful for me.
Thanks and Regards

Note that the physical I/O layer is not part of the database layer. From the database layer you typically address I/O issues with
- logical design (e.g. normalise data so that there's a single copy of the data to maintain and thus less I/O)
- physical design (e.g. use partitioning, IOTs, clusters, indexes and so on to facilitate less I/O to process data)
- parallelise (use multiple processes to perform large I/O scans to address some of the inherited latency issues when doing I/O)
- reduce I/O (e.g. by truncating a table or partition instead of deleting it, using CTAS, design s/w that only needs to make a single pass through a data set, etc)
From the database app level you have no control over where the data is stored, how it is stored and cached. So, as PL/SQL or app developer, your primary concern should be the amount of I/O your data model and app needs - as that is something you can and do control. And not worry about the physical implementation of the I/O layer. As that should be the concern of the sys admin and DBA of that platform.

It's not clear if you installed Windows in a virtual machine or you installed Windows in Boot Camp but you run it in Parallels.
If you installed Windows in Boot Camp, open "Boot Camp Assistant" (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps to restore your hard disk into one volume. If you installed Windows on a virtual machine, just open Parallels and delete the virtual machine where you have installed Windows

Question about use of BADI

Hi all
Can one BADI be used in more than one program.
regrads.

Hi,
Ok what you need to do is to go to that particular implementation and select the method in wmhich you want to add your code.Then in the menu-> edit ->enhancement option ->show implicit enhancemnt.Now you will see the place where you can add your own code.Just by right clicking and in the menu enhancement option ->create.And now select code and add your own code.
But why do you want to enhance the standard implementation when you can create your own new implementation?
Hope this helps.

Advice on which Mac laptop to buy / Advice about using WIndows on it.

I'd appreciate some advice on which replacement laptop to get for someone in my family who just needs e-mail, the Internet, and iPhoto--something simple, small, and portable, like the iBook or the MacBook Combo. However, he has just complicated matters by saying that he'd like to be able to use Windows on his new computer (yech).
I don't know anything about using Windows on a Mac, not even whether this feature is now built into all Macs or not. A recent post I found on virtualization (February, 2006) quotes Microsoft as saying that Virtual PC won't run on an Intel-based Mac (MacBook), though it will on the iBook and the Powerbook.
Here are the questions I'm trying to answer: (a) Is running Windows on the MacBook Combo an issue? If Microsoft doesn't make virtualization for the MacBook, are there other companies who do? (b) Are there features/lack of features on a MacBook that mean it makes more sense to get the least-expensive iBook instead or vice-versa? Again, simplicity and ease of use are the goal here, not state-of-the-art technology. (c) Can you even buy a new iBook or Powerbook any more, since the Apple website seems to feature only the MacBook?
Thanks in advance for suggestions about any of this!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 15"

For what your
family member want to do the 1.83GHz MacBook will be
just fine. Just be aware that if they want to write
DVDs at any time they will have to purchase an
external DVD writer.
As for Windows, there are two options for running
Windows on a …
1) Use Apple's software, Boot Camp…
http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
… which provides the ability to use you MacBook as a
Windows computer. Please note that a restart will be
required and only one OS will be available at any one
time. Additionally it is suggested that at least a
20GB larger drive be purchased to accomodate the
Windows partition.
2) Use Parallels…
http://www.parallels.com/
… which uses Virtualisation Technology. This allows
Windows to be used under Mac OS X just like Virtual
PC did with the PowerPC Macs. While this is far more
convenient it's performance does not match that of
Boot Camp although it is still rather snappy for more
requirements. It does vost money where Boot Camp is
free. Again, a larger drive is recommended.
For both Parallels and Boot Camp Windows will operate
at native PC speeds so do not consider an iBook or
PowerBook.
Thanks, that's helpful. One more question, now that I've looked at the MacBook more carefully: We use dial-up for e-mail and the Internet; this works very well for us and we have no immediate plans to change. Since the MacBook has no internal modem, would you or anyone else reading this say the Apple USB external modem works as advertised?
I see that the Apple USB modem gets very mixed reviews--some people say it's fine, others seem to find it slower than the internal version, and several think it's a piece of junk.
Would you (or anyone else reading this) have any experience using the Apple USB modem for dial-up connection? [That's not meant to be an insult. :-)] Would we now have to expect our dial-up connections to be slower than before? Or do we just have to be sure we have the right settings, compatible server, etc.? Or is the problem Apple's product, and would a 3rd-party product work better?

What's So Bad About It?

What's so bad about iPod Linux. I am thinking of getting it but it doesn't support Nano but I will risk it anyway. Before I do please explain to me why everyone on this forum despises it.
-confused

I would strongly recommend to stay clear of Linux for the iPod, for the following reasons.
1) iPod Linux voids the Apple warranty, so if anything went wrong (which frequently happens), you would have to fork out to get a repair/new iPod.
2) Linux makes the iPod run totally differently than it used to, i.e basically making it not an iPod, but a small Linux. As Chris CA stated, "you can fill your car up with water, but it still isnt a hot-tub."
3) Many users have reported "bricking" their iPod after installation, leaving them with a rather expensive paperweight that Apple will not touch.
4) The Linux website also states that even they do not support Nano installations.
5) Videos shown through Linux on a Nano are very poor quality, since its extremely difficult to get a video file small enough to fit, the screen size is tiny etc.
6) If something went wrong, no support could be given on this forum, as it is against the Terms of Use.

Cannot see html pages LOCALLY STORED on Mac drive, using Parallels Desktop?

Using Parallels Desktop running Windows XP, I cannot use Safari 3 to view HTML files stored on my Mac - no matter how I try!
If I locate the file within Windows Explorer and I right-click and choose "Open With > Safari Web Browser" Safari will open, but it will only open a blank window and nothing loads (the Status Bar remains blank).
If I open Safari and choose "Open File..." and navigate to the file on my Mac and click "Open" I get an error message which states:
Safari can’t open the page “file://.PSF/Macintosh%20HD/..."
etc.
Note that the URL it is trying to open begins with:
“file://.PSF/"
whereas doing the same thing from within Internet Explorer shows the URL to begin with:
"\\.PSF\"
without the "file" part. Also notice the BACKslashes, rather than FORWARDslashes.
Lastly, trying to open a blank Safari window and drag-and-drop the HTML file from Windows Explorer directly into the Safari window results in exactly the same problem.
Note that ALL 3 of the above-mentioned methods DO work in Internet Explorer.
Finally, even copying-and-pasting the local URL that DOES work in IE into Safari's Address Bar doesn't work either. The problem this time is that not only does Safari turn all the backslashes into forwardslashes, but it also adds "http:" to the beginning of the URL, when it was not in the originally-copied link, which began with "\\.PSF\".

Again, thanks for taking the time to reply - but you're really really not paying attention to what I'm saying...
I AM giving Safari the full pathname, but when using Parallels Desktop, this full pathname begins with "\\.PSF\". That's how it starts. Nothing else before the two backslashes, OK. That's how it works in Internet Explorer when using Parallels Desktop. That's how it works in Windows Explorer when using Parallels Desktop.
I have given Safari the full pathname in FOUR different ways, as I mentioned in my original post: right-click, open with / file>open / drag-and-drop / copy-paste-URL.
With regards to my particular issue, I'm not concerned about how it works when using Windows running natively on a "proper" Windows PC. I am concerned about how it works when using Parallels Desktop.
If you really want to know the full URL (not that it matters one jot) of an example file that I can open with Internet Explorer, but not with Safari, here's the URL of the file I was originally trying to test:
\\.PSF\Macintosh%20HD\Work\Downie\Website\HTML\index.html
That's it. Everything is there. I have not left off anything at the beginning of that URL.
That's how it works in Internet Explorer when using Parallels Desktop. OK, re-read that. It works in Internet Explorer when using Parallels Desktop.
When I copy that URL exactly as it is, and paste it into Safari and hit return, Safari automatically converts it to:
http://.psf/Macintosh%20HD/Work/Downie/Website/HTML/index.html
Note how it has altered it in several respects:
- It has added "http:" to the beginning of the URL.
- It has turned the original "PSF" into a lower-case "psf".
- It has turned all the backslashes into forwardslashes.
I try manually deleting and altering the relevant parts and hitting return again, but Safari just goes back to the "wrong URL".
When you say "the only prefix for local files is file://" you are obviously not familiar with how Parallels Desktop works with and reads "local files".
Remember what I said earlier about how you're not REALLY looking at LOCAL files, because TRUE local files would be on the Windows section of the drive, and I am trying to look at files on the Mac part of the drive.
I'll repeat what I said earlier:
If you are not testing this from within Parallels Desktop like I am, and where I am having the problems, then your words here are not of much use, because you cannot experience what I am experiencing. You cannot comment on the experience on how this works from within Parallels Desktop if you do not have Parallels Desktop and have not experienced it yourself.

Using Parallels with Windows 7 on Bootcamp caused startup logo to disappear

Please let me know whether this is just neurotic or what! Windows 7 RC on Bootcamp partition worked great until I installed a trial copy of Parallels 5.0. Even with Parallels, things seemed fine, but I did not like some behaviors of the program when run under Parallels. Using Parallels, I was leery about the issue that when I clicked on the icon of the E-drive (the Macintosh hard drive), I kept getting the message that it needed to be formatted. Certainly I was able to access the files of the MacIntosh through shared folders, and by dragging files from desktop to desktop, but I saw very little advantage of for running Parallels for what I do with the Windows programs, and I did not want to mess up the Macintosh hard drive by an accidental reformat while using Windows. Also I like the fact that if I start Windows from the Bootcamp partition rather than access it via Parallels, Windows is physically well isolated from MacOSX, I do not really have a chance to delete or mess up the Mac hard drive, and at the same time one can access the Mac OSX disk for files that might be needed by dragging these into the Windows partition. Parallels just seemed unneeded.
Now that I have uninstalled Parallels from the Mac partition and have uninstalled the Parallels programs and tools on the Windows partition, I still have a strange phenomenon that first showed itself when I had first installed the Parallels 5.0 program. Specifically, since the very day that Parallels first was installed and the bootcamp partition was used as the hard drive for Windows run under Parallels, and now even after uninstalling Parallels, the behavior of the Windows flag logo and startup graphics have been changed. A progress bar that previously did not exist before I used Parallels appears on startup, and the moving colored pieces of the Windows flag logo that are supposed to come together as Windows 7 is booted now do not appear during startup.
To my best knowledge, besides uninstalling Parallels programs, I have also removed manually all parts of Parallels that I can find from Windows, and I even excised hidden files and folders of Parallels found on the C drive. I also sought out PRL files from the Windows partition. I uninstalled and physically removed a program called Stardust (?)... Starcolor (?) or something like that, which was installed at the time Parallels was installed. Folders for this had icons of Macintosh programs. Additionally tried to remove all Parallels, PRL, and Stardust items also from the registry, but there are stubborn ones that are in the "pnp Lockdown files", and some others there that also fail to remove elsewhere. The Lockdown files that do not remove are Parallels files involved in booting, and the others are for a PRL 4600 monitor (???). I was able to remove PRL files in the "Driver Store" folder by changing permissions, and then these were able to be removed. I see no settings anywhere for startup logos in msconfig or when I search through programs in the control panel or in the Windows system folder. I have emptied temporary folders, Prefetch, and have used Windows Live Safety Center to remove stray registry files and to fix issues.
Attempts to go back to an old restore point do not work and do not get me back to the Windows 7 installation that i used to have. I reinstalled drivers for Bootcamp from the Snow Leopard disk, and finally I tried to repair the installation (by starting up windows using function keys) with at the same time the Windows 7 RC installation disk available for access of files. The option for repair when started up this way is for repair of a non-starting installation. When this is selected, it seems there is nothing found that needs to be repaired. Thus the startup for Windows still has the same behavior. Maybe I do not know how to repair an installation of Windows, and maybe nothing really needs to be changed back to the former condition. Am I just bothering with something that is just fine but which never will be identical to what it was before Parallels?
The bottom line is that even though things seem to operate fine otherwise, I feel Parallels has somehow adulterated the Windows installation, which I would rather just run as Windows without artifacts from a prior installation that influence it.
Thank you for guiding through whatever I need or need not do with these issues.

Questions about Using APIs to import Bills and Routings - AND COSTS

Hi Forum - the following is a back-and-forth with a customer about use of APIs - Inventory developer suggested I post the question here. Note the 2nd question - and thanks for any assistance.
SR# 7332152.994 ALCOA
Instructions given to ct:
Q1 - Can I load the bill header and components at the same time?
You should be able to load the bill header and components at the same time. Customer loads bill and component data inserting enough "other" data for each so that the bill sequence id will be derived. For the component record, the assembly item, org and alternate_bom_designator values will be used by BMCOIN to derive the bill_sequence_id.
Example:
INSERT INTO BOM_BILL_OF_MTLS_INTERFACE
ORGANIZATION_CODE,
ITEM_NUMBER,
ALTERNATE_BOM_DESIGNATOR,
PROCESS_FLAG,
TRANSACTION_TYPE
VALUES
'M1',
'&PARENT_ITEM',
NULL,
'1',
'CREATE'
INSERT INTO BOM_INVENTORY_COMPS_INTERFACE b
ORGANIZATION_CODE,
ASSEMBLY_ITEM_NUMBER,
ALTERNATE_BOM_DESIGNATOR,
COMPONENT_ITEM_NUMBER,
OPERATION_SEQ_NUM,
COMPONENT_QUANTITY,
EFFECTIVITY_DATE,
PROCESS_FLAG,
TRANSACTION_TYPE
VALUES
'M1',
'&PARENT_ITEM',
NULL,
'&COMPONENT_ITEM',
1,
1,
trunc(SYSDATE),
1,
'CREATE'
Hi Aruna, some additional information that may be useful:
We can load/create the bill header and components at the same time using the scripts given (as above)
Required Data for Creating a Routing : assembly_item_id,
organization_id, routing_type, transaction_type, process_flag
And following scripts can be used to load routing header and operations equences.
INSERT INTO BOM_OP_ROUTINGS_INTERFACE
(assembly_item_id,
organization_id,
routing_type,
transaction_type,
process_flag)
VALUES (2255800,207,1,'Create',1);
INSERT INTO BOM_OP_SEQUENCES_INTERFACE
(assembly_item_id,
organization_id,
operation_seq_num,
Department_code,
effectivity_date,
transaction_type,
process_flag,
operation_description)
VALUES
(2255800,207,100,'ASSEMBLY',
to_date('24-FEB-2009'),'Create',1,
'Paint Wagon');
Q2: One more question, can an expense item can be added to the bill and can contribute the cost.
As there is a confusion of what I asked, below I am rephrasing my question
By an Expense Inventory Item, I mean an item that is just tracked for quantity only i.e.,Checking the attributes - Inventory Item, Stockable, Transactable under Inventory Tab and not checking the attribute - 'Inventory Asset Value'.
My question here is, For these Expense Inventory Items, What is the difference between having the 'Costing enabled' attribute turned ON as opposed to having it UNCHECKED
*Q3 I have tried to load the items and I could only load 1st level of components but could not load second level of bom at the same time.
While inserting I have inserted plan level too.
Please let me know if I have to do anything different to load second level.*
Thanks
James

How do i use parallel compression for 4 drum tracks in Logic pro 7.2.3 Please

how do i use parallel compression for 4 drum tracks in Logic pro 7.2.3 Please. my version is 7.2.3 and my son did his drums on 4 tracks. 2 OH's 1 Kick and 1 Snare. Were confused because we cant figure out how to do parallel compression on the older logic version 7.2.3?

I can't remember when the Aux tracks became the new buss tracks, so I'll spell this out using busses.
The way I do it, is I assign all my drum tracks to a buss, say buss 1.
Then, on buss 2, I assign it's INPUT to buss 1.
So buss 1 (all the drums) are feeding into buss 2 simultaneously.
Put a compressor on buss 2, turn the fader down all the way, then as the track is playing, bring buss 2's fader up slowly, until you hear the effect you're after.
You could also do this using sends on the 4 drum tracks, set to feed the buss with the compressor on it.
I hope I haven't forgotten anything particular to that version of Logic. See if this helps...
