Best method needed

Hi,
I have a query that returns {id name date}. I want to display a report with this format:
id
name date
name date
name date
id
name date
name date
Where each one is either a new table or there is a special row dividing the id sections. What is the best way to do this using JSF, JSTL, and Struts-faces? Do I have to write a new renderer?

One option would be write a new renderer as you suggest. But if its possible for you to split the data into as many sub sections as you want, you can use multiple dataTable tags to acheive what you want. Just a thought that may or not be applicale depending on your application.

What is the best method for backing up photos in IPhoto?

I have over 10,000 photos in IPhoto and am looking for the best method for doing a backup (or an archive?). I'm now using ICloud and it appears it's just photo streaming and does not have storage capability. External hard drive, copying to a DVD, other suggestions?

Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
My Routine
My Library lives on my iMac. It’s Backed up to two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected.
I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
My Photos are backed up online. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.
Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a trial restore.

2006 MacBook Pro died, best methods to transfer data to new MacBook Pro

So my Rev. A MacBook Pro 2.16Ghz intel core duo finally died, looks like something on the logic board. So I bought a brand new 2011 2.2Ghz MacBook Pro. I have purchase and On The Go 2.5 inch enclosure from OWC, it's a USB device. the old hard drive is now in the enclosure, and I'm awaiting delivery tomorrow, of the new MacBook Pro.
My question is, what would be the best method to transfer old files. I want to start fresh with library and system files, as well as email IMAP files. my main concern is applications.
Can I simply drag the actual app from the old app folder to the new app folder? Will it bring along with it preferences and settings? Or do I need all the .DMG files to install the app into the new MBP?
Apps like; Audiohub, Connect360, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro. honestly there are so many more that I can't remember right now.
Thanks in advance.

You can attempt to manually move these files but if it doesn't work then just migrating the whole user and deleting the items you don't want might be the way to go.
Copy the following files from the old HD to their matching location on the new computer and then restart the computer before you launch any of these applications:
Safari: Users / Your User / Library / Safari
iCal: Users / Your User / Library / Calendars
Addressbook: Users / Your User / Application Support / Addressbook
iChat : Users / Your User / Library / Preferences / com.apple.ichat (there may be more than one of these files. copy them all over)
I don't use Skype so I don't know exactly where they store their files but checking in Users / Your User / Library / Skype would be a logical place to start. You can certainly ask in the Skype forum: http://forum.skype.com/
Adobe products tend to have bits and pieces scattered throughout. There may be a simple solution but I would suggest you inquire in the Adobe forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_macintosh
Best of luck!

Best Method To Organize (move) Messages (many Mailboxes to one)

I'm working on reorganizing my Mail messages from unique Mailboxes for certain topics (or senders) to having my messages in Mailboxes by year. Then use Smart Mailboxes to view what I need.
Before I start moving around a lot of messages, I want to make sure what I'm doing will work and not cause any unforeseen side effects.
Right now, I have many (20 or more) Mailboxes that I use to organize all the mail I get. What I want to do is move all my messages from last year (2013) into one new Mailbox.
Here's the method I thought I'd use:
Create a Smart Mailbox > Date Range > 1/1/2013 to 12/31/2013
That should effectively show me all mail messages received last year.
Create a new Mailbox called Mail 2013
Drag all the messages in the above Smart Mailbox into Mail 2013.
My understanding is that this will move all the messages I received in 2013 (which are currently sitting in many different Mailboxes on my Mac) into the newly created Mail 2013 Mailbox. The Smart Mailbox (with the 2013 date range) will still show all the same messages, since it doesn't matter where the messages are located.
Am I correct?
Is this the best method for doing this? Moving messages from many Mailboxes into a few Mailboxes that contain any and all messages within a specific date range.

Hi;
My first question is your ASM cant be mount to your new box? If answer yes than Just create same path,same hostname&Ip for new server(Unplog your existing server cable) than just open your new server and open db.
You may also go wiht RMAN(Even you go wiht clone process you need to use RMAN due to do usage of ASM)

When bouncing- what's best method for smallest file size/highest quality?

I am in the process of embedding 3 mp3's into a PDF to submit as a portfolio. The PDF also has text, and two scores included, and with the 3 embedded mp3's it can't be more than 10mb.
So my question is: When bouncing a project out of Logic, what is the best method for getting the smallest file size, but retaining the best audio quality? And once it's out of Logic and it is an mp3 or other type of audio file, is there a best format for compressing it further, and still maintaining the relative quality?
I bounced out the three projects into wav's. Now I am using Switch for Mac to compress them down to smaller Mp3's. I basically need them to be about 3 mb each. Two of the recordings sound OK at that size, but they are just MIDI(one project is piano and string quartet, the other is just piano- all software instruments. The recording that combines MIDI and Audio and has more tracks (three audio tracks and 10 Midi/software instrument tracks)and sounds completely horrible if I get it under 5 mb as an mp3. The problem is that I need all three to equal around 9mb, but still sound good enough to submit as a portfolio for consideration into a Master's program.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Please be detailed in your response, because I am new to logic and I really need the step by step.
Thank you...

The highest bitrate that falls within your limits. You'll have to calculate how big your MP3's can be, then choose the bitrate that keeps the size within your limit. The formula is simple: bitrate is the number of kilobits per second, so a 46 second stereo file at 96 kbps would be 96 x 46 = 4416 kbits / 8* = 552 kBytes or 0.552 MB. (*8 bits = 1 Byte)
So if you know the length of your tracks you can calculate what bitrate you need to keep it within 10 MB total.
I consider 128 kbps the lowest bearable bitrate for popsongs and other modern drumkit based music. Deterioration of sound quality is often directly related to the quality of the initial mix and the type of instruments used in it. Piano(-like) tones tend to sound watery pretty quickly at lower bitrates, as do crash and ride cymbals. But don't take my word for it, try it out.
And once it's out of Logic and it is an mp3 or other type of audio file, is there a best format for compressing it further, and still maintaining the relative quality?
You can only ZIP the whole thing after that, but that is just for transport. You'll have to unzip it again to use it. And no, you cannot compress an MP3 any further and still play it.
I bounced out the three projects into wav's. Now I am using Switch for Mac to compress them down to smaller Mp3's.
That is silly, you could have done that in Logic, which has one of the best MP3 encoders built in. And how good encoders are will especially come out at bitrates around or below 128, which you might be looking at.
I basically need them to be about 3 mb each.
So, one more scrap of info we need here: how long are those three pieces, exactly? I'll calculate the bitrate for you - but please bounce 'm directly out of Logic as MP3's. They will very probably sound better than your WAV-conversions made with Switch.

Best Method of Transferring From Old Mac to New Mac

I've got a 27" iMac on order that's supposed to ship sometime in early January, and am wondering what is the best method of transferring everything from this Mac to the new one (once it arrives)?
As I understand it, there are essentially three ways of doing this:
Migration Assistant
Setup Assistant
Time Machine
I've got two user accounts on this Mac, and will need to transfer everything for both accounts. I have about 350GB worth of files, data, and applications to transfer.
Is one of the above methods better than the others for accomplishing this? Are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of before moving everything over?
Advice and assistance is welcomed.

The easiest method is to use Setup Assistant that automatically starts the first time you use a new Mac. It will offer you the opportunity to migrate all users or just those you select.
Mike Osborn wrote:
... Are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of before moving everything over?
If you do not use Setup Assistant, you can always use Migration Assistant later. However, this can easily become confusing if you already created a user account on the new Mac. Most people won't have the patience to use Setup Assistant and understandably want to use their new Mac right away. If you elect to do that, don't create an account with the same name as one you wish to migrate. Instead, create a user account that you plan to erase after you migrate your existing accounts. The reason is that if you create a brand new account named, for example, "Mike Osborn", you will be unable to migrate to another account with that name.
Use a wired connection. Wireless can take an unacceptable amount of time (days).
Don't create a brand new Apple ID either. Have your existing Apple ID and password ready and use it, so you don't make the mistake of creating an Apple ID with no pedigree.
Register your new Mac (and all your other Apple equipment, if you have not yet done so) using this link:
https://supportprofile.apple.com/
This provides for a convenient database of all your Apple equipment's serial numbers, service history, and warranty eligibility.

Best Method for Hyper-V storage migrate

What would be the best and most efficient way to complete the following:
I have a Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-v Hosting server, with a Windows Storage Server 2008 ISCSI connected storage drive. I need to move all the Hyper-V images from one ISCSI drive, to another ISCSI drive, as I just purchased another Windows Storage Server 2008
that I setup a ISCSI drive on that I want to store the Hyper-v images on.
Is the best method a export of each virtual server, then delete the current server, and them import them back from the new location?

Thought so, and totally without a doubt test before delete, lol.
My issue is when I started this I only had a few servers, but due to how easy it was to setup a new server and every software vendor we have wanting thier own server I am at 19 servers.
Major downside is they take forever to export.
I like the export method because it creates a identical structure for all the machine, as before I was storing all snapshots in one location, all vhd in another
Thanks for verifying what I figured was the only method.
Using the Microsoft Virtual Manager I can migrate, but that takes so long as well and I figured if I export, I can then use that as a full backup and then import it.

Best method for secure Internet ?????

OK,
So I wasn't sure where to put this post, so I figured I would start with the system I am using and go from there.
The Problem:
I am trying to set up a secure method in which I can use Internet services as I make my way from non-secure places throughout the day studying for school. In any given day I might find myself at 3-5 different locations, studying. I often have my computer with me and would like to be able to use it it without the worries of open line surfing.
I have read (not completely understood) the VPN concept and think that it might provide what it is I am looking for.
Before I went spending the money for an aftermarket plan that provides me a VPN, I thought I would look into setting up my own VPN off of my home connection. Although I am not sure if all I need is an internet line (IP Address) - or do I need an actual computer connected to the Internet at home.
I might be completely wrong here in my thoughts of using the VPN, so please provide any thoughts or suggestions.
Brief Recap:
We have a MBP & iBook G4. We would like to be able to use either of them when we are out in public non-secure areas. Is there a way - and if yes, What is the best method to use to make this happen.
Thanx,

Qanuk,
VPN provides a method of connecting to a home or business network securely. From some remote location, VPN creates a secure "Tunnel" whereby you can join your home network and use network resources. This would allow you to "share" files, printers, etc. between computers not just on your network locally, but across the internet, regardless of where you are connected.
If your intention is not to share your network's resources across the internet, but to "surf" normally, you don't need to use VPN. With normal internet use, you are already as secure as you need to be. It is true that there is a potential for "snooping" inherent in using open wireless networks, but this is only a potential, not a real problem.
The question is, "what will someone else be able to find?" Well, if you send an email, there is a potential that someone could intercept that email and read it. Big deal. There is also the possibility that someone could determine what websites you are visiting. Again, big deal.
In order to do this "snooping," that someone would have spend a great deal of resources and time learning to use the tools necessary to do this snooping, then spend the time using them while you are on the same network. Why would someone do this in order to collect very mundane information from you? It's just not going to happen.
Now, in any cases where you might actually be transmitting data useful to a "snooper," such as the transmission of credit card information, you will undoubtedly be doing so using a secure browser connection. In such cases, a secure connection is made between your browser and the server to which you are connected (your bank's server, the retailer's server, etc.). No snooping is possible in these cases.
As for your computer, itself, you are protected by the best firewall in the industry. No one is going to be able to "hack" your computer while you are connected to the same network, as long as you have your firewall turned on, and especially if you have no running services.
In short, you are already as secure as you need to be; surf away.

Best method to archive projects?

I know this has been discussed before, but I am looking for some more info. Here is my archive workflow...
Since I keep all of my media on an external drive, I do not copy media to project. When project is finished, I export a ProRes master. No problem so far. But then when I save the library it is just too large with render files and others. Back in the day in FCP 7, I just saved the project file (edit decision list) and I was finished. What is the best method now? I love X but just need to know the proper protocol for archiving if the client would like a re-edit down the road.
I really appreciate these forums and I am looking forward to some insight from you folks in the know.
Cheers.
Tom

OK, I meant to tack this question with my last one, my client wants me to take her 1 hour video and compress it to a format that she can store/watch on her own hard drive. What format would retain audio and video quality best, and not be enormous and still be able to run on a computer (ie not burned to a DVD or Blu-ray Disc)?
Second part to this question:
one of my projects is 5 years old - not done on a external hard drive - which means that I can no longer access the project for conversion purposes. What choices do I have if I only have a DVD disc to convert to a file that can play/be stroed on a computer?
Thanks

How to check which is th best method to use in LSMw and the file

Hi all,
I am new to LSMW,
Can know me when i get the file , how to check the which is the Best method ( Batch input, Direct input,BAPI, IDOC) have to use in LSMW .
How to check the input file is completely filled and how to check whether it is correct and also how to Prevalidation check has to be done fior the file before uploading.
Can you provide any documents LSMW also Apprecited.
Regards,
Madhavi

Hi Madhavi,
To check Correctness & completeness of the file:
1. The input file structure should be same as source structure what you defined whicle creating LSMW.
2. Check the following steps to assure the field mapping is done correctly.
a) Maintain field mapping & conversion rule
b) Check 'Display Read data'
c) Check ' Display Converted data''
Please note LSMW is a tool, which will simply upload the data whatever you are providing. So you need to be careful while making your file and validate it outside SAP ( before upload start)

Best method to move "previous system-users" to the new user folder

I was doing an Archive and Install of a current 10.5.8 system because of problems with the "usr" folder showing in the root listing of the hd folders while booted from this same hd. I knew that wasn't a good sign.
Anyway, it failed saying that the previous Users could not be moved into the new OS's User folder and they would be placed in the "Previous System" folder.
I have updated the newly installed OS to the latest Apple updates.
Now I'm wondering what is the best method to get the User folders (with lots of data) from the Previous Users folder into the new Users folder so that all the data is recognized.
Thanks in advance!

Just drag contents of the previous Home folder to their respective locations in the new Home folder.
Do not simply drag the entire Home folder into the new /Users/ folder. Just the content of the old Home folder, i.e., Documents, Downloads, etc. The system may prevent you from replacing some folders, so you will need to move the contents of those folders.
Oh, and see this: How to get files from a previous home directory after Archive and Install.

What is the best method to revert back to 'golden' image of database

Hello,
I want to have a 'golden' image of my test database. What is the best method to keep reverting back to this 'golden' image after testers are done with testing. What I mean is I want to set up a test database for testers. Testers can insert,update, delete on objects as they like. But after the testers have completed their testing, I want to revert the database back to the 'golden' image. This 'golden' image is the state of the database before testers perform their tests. I need to revert back to the 'golden' image many times over as we have to perform many different tests.
I thought about export and import (9i database) but takes 6 hours, too long. I tried using rman and was successful the first time, (set until time; restore database; recover database; open resetlogs;). The seconde time using rman, I got error saying the set until time was before the resetlogs time. I think I would have to restore the control file before the resetlog time frame before I can recover to the set until time, again.
What is a straight forward method to have a 'golden' image so I can keep on restoring back to it? This database is a test 9i database and it is in archive log mode but it doesn't need to be. I just need a best practice method, whether it is rman, exp/imp, manual backup/restore? Something I can use time and time over again. Thank you.

If it is a Test envionment, can you just take a COLD Backup (database files
plus control files) ? How big is the database ? What platform is it on ?
eg in a COLD Backup
a. If using a script, run multiple "cp" (or cpio/tar) commands in parallel to
copy different database files
b. If using RMAN (in NOMOUNT), use multiple Chnanels.
Note : Remember to include ControlFile Backups and Restores as well.

Best method for refreshing a component's data?

What's better when you want to refresh the content of an object? Should you just replace your JComponent with an entirely new one, or should you try to get access to the data and then remove the items and then re-add them.
In my example, I have a JTree and am not sure which would be the best method to use. Should I try to remove all the nodes, or sometimes I think it would be easier to just remove the tree component from my panel, create a new tree and re-populate it?
Thanks for any advice.

I have one Premiere CS5 project that's 1920x1080, and another project that's 720x480 widescreen (1.2). I created a new sequence in both projects that is 720x480, 4x3 (0.9), and what I do is just scale the timeline down so that it's letterboxed. Is this the best method for achieving this? Or would you do something else? I don't like the idea of scaling my timeline down in Premiere.
Hello.
As Jim so rightly points out above, you do not need to do anything.
Just use your normal 16:9 widescreen footage, and author as normal.
Your player will letterbox automatically when it is connected to a 4:3 screen in setup (just make sure "Pan & Scan" is not also there)

my Question is
what is the Best Method to move the Applcations to a New Server ?
1) Using Export/Import option .can I move the Applications/ Reports to New Server?
2) Is it possible By Taking Application level Export and Import to the new Server?
3)Do I need to create the Workspace as similar to old Server then Move the ApplicationS?
or taking the Application EXPORT/IMPORT also imports the Workspace?
(OR)
Do I need to import the Database tables taking table level Dumps as well?

Hello:
You pretty much have it right. Here's what I do to move applications between APEX installations.
1) Export/Import Workspaces
2) Export/Import Applications for each workspace. (I retain the source application id in the target)
3) Export/Import Workspace Images/Files etc
4) Use Oracle exp/imp , Oracle DataPump or plain old sqlplus scripts to move database objects from source to target.

Best Method For Connection - JDev Team Help

Hi,
We are using a couple of different methods for obtaining a connection and pooling. I'm wondering what is the best method, though...if there is a preferred approach?
One approach is getting the ApplicationModuleRef from the request. We then release the amref as true/true or true/false (pending of if we need to maintain state), but we definitely try to release true/false whenever possible.
The other approach is using createRootApplicationModule. We then either release it back to the pool false or destroy it immediately w/ true.
Is there a preferred approach between the two? We are constantly struggling with inactive sessions that are not getting cleaned up when they reach our timeout limit which is causing severe memory issues with our application. Is one of our methods for obtaining the connection and releasing perhaps causing our pooling issues?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Andy Hamilton - TUSC

That is exactly the problem and with 100+ users on the system at one time our connection count gets large quite rapidly. The issue only occurs though with sessions released true/true...they are never reused, just new connections piled on top.
We are actually turning connection pooling on in hopes of it resolving our connection issues. Any idea though why if you release an amref true/true and then attempt to do a session.invalidate you would get this error:
java.lang.NullPointerException at oracle.jbo.server.DefaultTxnHandlerImpl.handleRollback(DefaultTxnHandlerImpl.java:125) at oracle.jbo.server.DBTransactionImpl.doRollback(DBTransactionImpl.java:3417) at oracle.jbo.server.DBTransactionImpl.rollback(DBTransactionImpl.java:1650) at oracle.jbo.common.ampool.ApplicationPoolImpl.resetApplicationModule(ApplicationPoolImpl.java:885) at oracle.jbo.common.ampool.ApplicationPoolImpl.removeSessionCookie(ApplicationPoolImpl.java:546) at oracle.jbo.common.ampool.SessionCookieImpl.timeout(SessionCookieImpl.java:365) at oracle.jbo.http.HttpSessionCookieImpl.timeout(HttpSessionCookieImpl.java:80) at oracle.jbo.http.HttpContainer.fireTimeout(HttpContainer.java:516) at oracle.jbo.http.HttpContainer.timeout(HttpContainer.java:241) at oracle.jbo.http.HttpContainer.valueUnbound(HttpContainer.java:308)
