Automatic creation of image

Hello,
As I'm preparing for my Powerbook to arrive with a fresh new harddrive, I've decided to not have my data lost again. What I will do is copy my userhome to an external drive every day and once a week make a full image of the entire harddisk to that same external drive.
I'm sure I'll figure out the copying bit. There are dozens of tools out there to do it for me (although I've found to be rather disappointing, only Apple Backup seems to be really worth while - but I have no need for a .mac account so that option is out).
However, the automatic making of an image is something I've never attempted on a Mac. If I insert my Tiger install dvd, I can run Disk Utility and with that make a dmg file which I'm guessing I could restore should something happen to the original drive. However, this requires me to do something and I'd prefer to have this done automatic.
So, what do I do? The system needs to reboot into a different partition, I'm guessing ... which then starts the imaging process. How do I (a) make the system reboot at a specific moment, every week; (b) make it boot from a different partition; (c) how exactly do I have disks automounted (USB connected drive, HFS+ formatted) and (d) how do I have Disk Utility automatically make an image?
Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,
You have a lot of questions here which I would not be really great at answering, however, there is a great FAQ about backing up that may answer some of your quetitons here:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/backuprecovery.html
Retrospect is an excellent backup too, Backup, apples solution is o.k. for backing up your home folder and for backing up your "iApps". (itunes, iMovier and such), but is not a comprehensive solution.
You can use Disk Utility for some backups. A lot of folks use programs that will clone their hard drive to another, Programs such as Super Duper and Carbon Copy Cloner are designed to do just that.
If you plan on copying to a USB drive a couple of things to remember. First it is going to be a bit slower than using a Firewire drive. Second, you cannot boot from a USB drive.
Some of the automation could be accomplished using Automator, the built in tool provided by Apple with 10.4. I have never used it but have read some articles about it and it could handle the automation task for you, I think. You might check and see if there is a ready made script available from Apple.
Hope it all gets worked out,I applaud your desire to have a backup system. The most important thing about any backup system is ti use it!

Help creating Shell/Applescript to automate creation of Image Sequences

Hi Everyone,
I am currently getting into shell scripting (what fun it is!) and have created a couple of scripts that:-
a) Take a picture with the iSight camera every minute and name them YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.jpg
b) Once every few hours move all images into folder YYYY-MM-DD so that all images are in one place.
What I want to do now is automate the process of creating the Image Sequence timelapse mov from QuickTime Pro.
Is this possible? Even if you just point me in the right direction I would be very grateful! I've been going around in circles and still haven't found out if I can do this.
Thanks again,

If you're going to say "libreoffice, formally openoffice" you have to back that up with some truth.
Thanks Eric.
My mistake. The last time I checked the opensource world was awash with statements to the effect that OO was dead. I then discovered that LibreOffice was picking up where OO left off.
I now see that OO is still going. So I guess people were making a fuss about nothing when the Oracle / Sun thing happened.
Either way, Apple Pages lacks the Navigation feature found in OO/LO, and Word. And that is what I'd like to find a way to work around.
I had to drop word on this kind of document because its way of handling numbered lists within paragraph styles was driving me nuts, as it had done for the person I was assisting, and has done for many other people I see have posted issues about that as far back as 2003 or earlier. So I switched my friends document over to Pages, as that's installed by default on her MBP. But she really wanted the document map functionality that was in Word. OO/LO was my next option, and the one I am running with for now.

How can I automate creation of various thumbnails of an image with different filenames?

I load an image, SampleA.jpg. I want to automate creation of different sized thumbnails, one that is 640x360 and called SampleA iStock.jpg, and one that is 360x203 and called SampleA Revostock.jpg. I want these files to be stored in the same directory as the source image.
To my knowledge actions cannot do this because they hardwire the directory used when recording the action.
I've also looked into scripts and batch processing and can't figure out how they can accomplish this.
If anyone could list a simple step by step instruction how I can do this I would be very appreciative!

Mobile site, automatic creation and editing

I'm new to Muse and have just created my first web site which Im very pleased with. www.loosechippings.org BUT a big drawback for me is that I have to create a completely separate mobile site for smartphones. I'm told Weebly does this automatically and Direct Mail automatically creates mobile format emails. Please can Adobe introduce automatic creation and editing of mobile versions of the desktop web site?

Just have a look at a homepage of your choice and think, what would happen, if you automatically transpose this page completely into a phone layout. (quantity and size of text, images; menus, anchors, pinning and so on. I think, if you are aware of the horrible problems, you will never want to do this automatically.

Automatic Creation of PO by workflow once PR is released.

Hi All,
Can anybody explain the details steps for creation of workflow template if PR is released then automatic creation of PO needs to be created with reference to PR.?
Thanks,
Ravi

You can take a look at standard Workflow WS20000075(PO). Regarding your requirement most probably you need to do some configuration. In SRM this is possible once a Shopping Cart is completed it can be converted to a PO.

srihari

If you refer the same document on the following link you see that RFQ is not automatically
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/75/ee1fa755c811d189900000e8322d00/frameset.htm
What does their mean automatically is
using the assign and process you can create RFQ. but not like Auto PO using Me59n
Creating RFQs
To create RFQs, you must generate a basic list via Requisition ® Follow-on functions ® Assign + process.
From the basic list, you can flag a requisition for RFQ processing. Select a requisition and choose Edit ® Flag for RFQ ® With vendor or Without vendor.
Choose Goto ® Assignment overview to access the assignment overview screen. Position the cursor on the text Flagged for RFQ processing and choose Edit ® Process assignment.
A dialog box for the creation of RFQs appears.
Enter the deadline for submission of quotations and check other relevant data, such as the purchasing organization.
When you press ENTER, you will obtain an overview of the purchase requisitions that have been flagged for RFQ processing.
Select the items that are to be adopted in the RFQ.
Adopt the selected items in the RFQ.
u2013 If you wish to change the selected items before adopting them, choose Edit ® Selections ® Adopt + details. The relevant item detail screens will then appear, allowing you to make the desired changes.
u2013 To adopt the selected items without changes, choose Edit ® Selections ® Adopt.
The item overview for the RFQ to be created is displayed with the adopted items.
If you have flagged the requisition for RFQ processing without a vendor, or if you wish to issue RFQs to another vendor, assign the RFQ to a vendor and save the document.
Repeat this process for each vendor to whom the RFQ is to be issued.
For more information on the creation of RFQs, refer to the section Creating RFQs.

Can someone throw more light on the customizing/BADI/enhancements etc required??

Hi koen,
I tried with the FM that you suggested...
But somehow with the process type 'stock removal' gives an error...
Is that that this FM will help to create a pick task for a particular outbound delivery--Tcode:/SCWM/TODLV_TO.
how will this FM take the outbound delivery as an input?or it will be on the corresponding sales order number and item number as input?
Being new EWM i require help on this..about how to go about creating the pick task for an outbound delivery which wil be equal to the warehouse request.
Thanks in advance,
Rashmi.

Automatic creation of requirement for extra consumption in COGI

Dear.
For a production order with a component totally consumed during the backflushing of CO11N I run a new confirmation. The component isnu2019t available , the confirmation is done and the system create for the component an error movement in COGI.
If I see MD04 for this component I donu2019t see any production order requirement for the extra consumption quantity in COGI.
But the planner need to know the quantity that remain to withdrawn.
Which is the reason for the missing automatic creation of requirement for extra consumption in COGI ?
Thanks.

Dear Cris,
Have you manually edited and input extra qty in CO11N
When backflush is activated and Full qty is confirmed
Then if you perform confirmation second time then form where system will again pick the component
Once again check in production order BOM over view and also in BOM what is the qty given
Can you eloborate more in detail what you have performed ( steps required )
Dear Siva,
Just correct me if i am wrong

Restricted automatic creation of PO in sales order

Hi Experts
When we create a sales order (VA01), we had customized the automatic creation of a Production order (CO01); but our client is asking us to limit this automatic creation to a certain characteristics of the material.
For example, we have to choose the colours (number and values), and for one colour, the production order donu2019t need to be created automatically.
Please can anyone help me to find any solution for this matter?
Thank you in advance
Hachim EL ALAMI

Dear Hachim,
if there is only one material for which you don't want production order to be created you can restrict that particular material by using material exclusion from Logistics screen - Sales and Distribution - Master Data - Products - Listing/Exclusion
and select condition type B001 for Exclusion and now if you try to enter this material in the sales order system will give you an error
OR
you can use listing condition type A001 in order to include only those materials for which you want production order to be created for them
Hope this will solve you purpose

Sagar

Automatic creation of PO's from Requisitions

Hi
I'm trying to get a grasp of what's needed to automatically create approved PO's upon approval of a requisition.
There seems to be two ways to do it, a release program under a Contract Agreement, or using workflow with a Global BPA.
Under either method, would you need to create a Contract Agreement or Global BPA for each and every supplier? Is there any easier way to achieve this?
Thanks

To automatically created Approved PO's you will need the following
1. To create Standard PO's a Requisition will have to use a Quotation. This quotation can be attached to an ASL to default while creating a req
The Workflow "PO Create Documents" should have automatic creation allowed set to yes
2. To create Releases a Blanket PO must be attached to an ASL . The Workflow "PO Create Documents" should have automatic creation allowed set to yes
Please let me know if you have any questions
Thanks

Hi
Pl Make sure you have done following settings for the Automatic Creation of PO during GR:
1) In SPRO ---> Enterprise Structure ---> Assignment -
> Material Management ---> Assign Std. Purchase Org. to your Plant...
2) In Material Master -
> Purchasing View -
> Pl. Check. Automatic PO check Box   and Maintain Purchasing Group....
3)Create your Vendor for oyur Company Code and Std. Pur. Org. combination and in that Vendor Master -> Purchasing Data View--- > Pl. Check Auto. PO Check Box...
4)For your Vendor -Material Master - Plant -Std. Pur. Org combination Maintain valid Info record...
5)In OLMB ---> Goods Receipt -
> Automatic Creation of PO ---> for the M.Type:101 pl. check Auto PO check Box
6) In OLMB ---> Movement types ---> Copy,Delete, Check M.Types ---> Choose the M.Type:101   and go into Details -
> Then goto allowed Fields for M.Types for M.Type:101 ---> there for the M.Type:101   make the field   LIFNR as a Mandatoty field...
If you have done the above settings properly...then in MIGO ---> Choose Transaction GR and referance as Others
and do the GR....Make sure you are doing GR with M.Type:101....and yougive the Vendor's name during   GR....
Now If you save the GR ...automatically PO will be created...
this you can see it by displaying the MIGO Document..
