Best practice: 1.8 inch msata ssd to use as system disk?

Can I use a msata 1,8 inch ssd as a systendisk in the Y500 ? and wil it be faster dan the HDD ?If yes, I doubt using the Kingstone KC380 240 GB or the 120 GB. I need 70 to 80 GB for the OS all my programs, filesys etc. . So both will do, but is both are good I buy some reserve capacity. Only the disavantage of the 240 is that it has random reading :21.000 IOPS ?? and the 120 GB : 54.000 IOPS. (the sequential readin and writing is for both 520MBpS).is this random reading speed difference relevant for what I want? are there other reasons to prefer one to the other ?Thanks for informing me, I have no clou. Iris

It will definitely be much faster than the normal HDD you have. The sequential read/write is usually noticed when moving large files from/to the SSD. Random reading speed is basically how many operations are done in random 4KB files around the disk, and is a measure of fast you'd move pictures, for example. A big folder with lots of small pictures will take longer. 21,000 is a low number when speaking of regular SATA-3 SSDs, but I'm not so sure if its a normal number speaking of m.SATA.

MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk?

MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk?
I have just downloaded a Hello Kitty MMO app for research (for my kid of course).
I am developping my English teaching app with LOADS of classical music, mp3 sentences and heavy background bgs. Would the best idea be for client to download these to their hardisk ie I would not need to stream them and therefore save a fortune on bandwidth charges from my ISP???
Cheers

I see what you mean ie: they have to get the file to their computer one way or another BUT
a. If they are going to repeatedly use that file ie: a custom cursor or classical piece of music every week when they log on then it would be better for them to have it on their hardisk wouldn't it? If not, they would have to download it every time they log on. I take it that's why the hello kitty site makes you download 130 megas so you have everything on your hardisk, ie: you will be reusing all those assets MANY times in the future. The experience wil be very FAST as you have it on your local disk and needn't have to wait for streaming.

My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows. The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable. The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop. Can you point me to the best way to do this? - Thanks

If you have the two allotted activations already and one was lost on the hard drive that failed then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

What is the best practice for formatting ext drives to be used by both Mac and PC users?

I have scanned what is available in the community about this issue and wondering if anyone has anything new to add. I need to create backup drives of department files (large photo and video) that both we Mac and the other PC users can access. The only consistent rec I see is FAT32, but that seems to have size limitations. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

The problem with FAT32 is that 4 GB or bigger files can't be stored. In this case, and as you have a Mac OS X version that supports it (10.6.5), you can use exFAT, compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and Mac OS X (10.6.5 and later).
To format a drive with exFAT, do this on a PC. If you do it on a Mac, a PC won't be able to read it. Apart from this, you will be able to store the files you need onto external drives, as exFAT hasn't got the limitations that FAT32 has.
Another option is to use NTFS, but you will need a third-party application on your Mac to be able to write on your external drives

What is the best practice when distributing a desktop application which uses SMO

I have a WPF application which installs a web site. One of the installation steps is to execute a number of SQL scripts which will install website's database. The database server is not necessarily the same machine as the product is installed - in most cases
it's a different server on the same network. All the scripts are generated by a build of database project (visual studio 2012 db project) - hence all of those are in sqlcmd mode.
I can workaround sql variables (:variable - type of creature) by making some simple text replacements. The big problem is with the "GO" statements. At first I thought that I can split the script into many subscripts using a regex split operation
defining "GO" to be the separator - this did not work; having a world Polygon in the script will cause the whole operation to fail. Unfortunately I have no control over the content of the script hence if someone will decide
to put a comment like /* If you do not know how to use this script then GO TO HELL */ would break the installation process.
I have then tried executing the whole script (with "GO" statements) using SMO. This works well on my development machine but once I try to do this on a server, application falls over missing dlls. Now for Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo, Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo, Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlClrProvider
and Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum the solution is simple - I can just set "Copy local" to true and those dlls will be distributed with the application.
Big problem is with Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlClrProvider.dll. OK, I can get this library from my local machine - but I am not sure which SQL version this will be used with. I can't include more than one of those dlls as all of those have the same name.
I know that the official MS line is to install SQL feature pack (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff713979.aspx). But again - I do not know which version of SQL my application will be working with, and I need to make the installation process as simple
as possible.
My question is - is there a way I can distribute a desktop application (which makes a use of SMO) without any prerequisites and for all versions of SQL server? If there is no such a thing then using SMO is pretty much pointless as it cannot be distribute
- even if then it's not version agnostic... Thanks for any help!

I agree with Olaf, when you want to ensure that you can interact with any version of SQL Server.
The problem you will run into if you are not controlling the version of SQL Server is in the version of SMO. If you use SMO version 10.5 and need to deploy using SMO to SQL 2012, it will not work. SMO will always be backward compatible but not forward compatible.
So you would have to have a max version of SQL Server your setup would deploy to in order to control errors and failures. So if you distribute SQL 2012 SMO then the max version would be SQL 2012 for the deploy.
So using a tool that is version agnostic is the way to go, and you can also use in .NET the System.Data.SqlClient to execute statements against the SQL Server as well. This will be version agnostic too.

InDesgin CS6: What is best practice for creating a jpg for web use?

My graphic design experience is heavy toward print, but I’ve been charged to solve this web-graphics problem for my team. I’ve done searches online and can’t find resources specific to this issue. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Here’s the issue:
My team uses both InDesign and Photoshop CS6, to make landing pages and other stuff for our website. After saving to jpg files, the InDesign files always have jaggy text compared to Photoshop’s jpg. What are we doing wrong? Can’t InDesign be used for web? I’ve also tried saving it out as PNG with no better results.
Note: The background in the InDesign files are created in Photoshop (these look fine in both programs)—but the text created in InDesign looks jaggy while Photoshop’s text looks clean.
Here’s how we save it in Photoshop
File > Save for Web with these settings: JPG, High, Optimized, Quality 70, Blur 0, Matte None, Quality Bicubic.
Here’s how I solved the problem (which seems too labor intensive to actually be correct) Is there a better way?
I convert text to outlines.
I change the “intent” to web intent
Manually reset the page size. Whenever I change the intent in anyway, InDesign automatically changes the page size to 8.5”x11” or 800x600 pix regardless of the original page-size. I expect it to change proportionately from inches to pixels, or vise-versa, but it just won’t do it. Is there a preference for this somewhere?
Export as JPG with these setting: Quality Maximum, Format method progressive, Resolution 72 ppi, Color Space RGB, Options: Embed Color Profile: sRGB IEC6196-2.1, anti-alias.
Our web people tell us that if we use a higher resolution the image comes in proportionately too large, and they can’t use it at that size.
This seems like a lot of work. There must be a better way?

Ok. Thank you. Hmm....I don't have PDF/X-4. I have Adobe Preset PDF/X1a and PDF/X3.
I assume PDF/X-4 is a from a newer version of InDesign. Will PDF/X-3 work as well?
So there is not a way to achieve a crisp jpg or png directly from InDesign without all the steps I'm using now?
BTW, do you happen know why changing the "intent" changes the page size? or where I can change a preference on this. unless I've overlooked it, I don't see anything relating to this under edit > preferences.
Thanks again for your reply, I value your input!

Best practice to verifing digitally signed PDF (signed using localley generated ceritificates)

Hi,
I have signed a PDF using a locally created Microsoft Digital Certificate inside my organization.
As part of the approval workflow, I emailed the signed PDF document to another person in my organization (within the same network) for review and final acceptance.
The issue I'm facing is that when the other person opens the PDF, my signature status will show as not verified. Even though, I have created it while I'm connected on the network.
What are the steps that the other person need to follow so (s)he can verify locally generate digitally signed PDF either manually or in an automated manner?
Is there a server-side tools provided by Microsoft to do the verification automatically? Or, I have to do it manually? Any 3rd party plugins you recommend to ease this verification process?
Appreciate your help,
Yasser

There are several preference setting related to this, depending on what version you're using. For example,
Acrobat 9: Edit > Preferences > Security > Digital Signatures > Verify signatures when the document is opened
Acrobat 11: Edit > Preferences > Signatures > Verify signatures when the document is opened
To fully validate, they will need to add your certificate to their list of trusted certificates or you can set up the Windows Integration feature under Preferences.

Care of SSD, SSD Best practice hints

I haven't seen a good post on this, for those of us with SSD's, what are some of the best practices for care of the SSD. Should we repartition and re-install from time to time? Should we reformat and attach to a windows PC and run some of the windows utilities? Anyone have some tips on keeping the drive fast and working as long as possible?
I'll start with one I know
Don't use PGP WDE (Pretty Good Privacy Whole Disk Encryption) with SSD. Due to PGP WDE writing to every sector each write has to first erase the data then write it, that combined with encryption overhead ends up with the SSD with non-SSD speed. If you have to use PGP WDE you might as well use a normal platter drive.

I keep large data (like downloaded files) off on a hard drive.

[V570] mSATA SSD

Hi,
Since it didn´t get any response on the german sub-forum, I´d like to give this a try.
I want to install a "mini" SSD in my IdeaPad V570 but I have a few questions about it.
1.) I´m not quite 100% sure if I seeked out the right slot to put the 1.8 Inch mSATA SSD in. I made some photos and I would be happy if someone can tell me if I´m right or wrong on this one.
http://sdrv.ms/RIxwWt
http://sdrv.ms/RIxIoA
(SkyDrive)
2.) Is the new SATA 6 generation supported by my laptop?
3.) Will the RapidDrive technology be enabled automatically after installing the SSD? I did a bit research on the software and came to the conclusion not to use it.
4.) Will this violate the product-warranty on my laptop?
Thank you in advance!

I have the same question. Hopefully someone who knows will chime in.

Best practice for mouseless ADF applications

I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse.
So I would like to know if there are a best practice for this?
I am already using the accessKey functionality and subforms defaultCommand
But I have had problems setting focus to objects on a page like tables. I would like a button to return the focus to the table after it has made the command like delete.
I have implemented a solution where I have found inspiration several threads and other webpages (see below).
Is this solution okay?
Are there any problems with it?
I would also like to know if there are better pathways to go like

Hi,
I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse. So I would like to know if there are a best practice for this?
Well HTML (and this is the user interface you see) follows a tab index navigation that you follow with "tab" and "shift+tab". Anything else is a short cut for which you use mnemonics (as you already do) or shortcuts (explained in http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html). There is a distinction to make between non-web environments (which I think you and your users have abackground in) and client desktop environments. Browsers block some keyboard functionality for their own purpose. So you may have to find a list of keys first that work across browsers. Unlike desktop clients, which allow you to "press a button" without the button to take focus, this cannot be done on the web. So you need to be clever here, avoiding buttons at all.
The following paper is about JavaScript in ADF and explains the basics for what Chris Muir explains in : http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/1-2011-javascript-302460.pdf
It has the outline for how to register short cut keys that perform a specific action (e.g. register ctrl+d to delete the current row you are on, or press F11 to execute a query (similar to Oracle Forms frmres files)). However, be aware that this includes some code you have to write (actually quite some code to be honest).
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/79-global-template-button-strategy-360139.pdf (are there an example implementation?), or
http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
Actually these are implementations as they come with example code for you to use and customize, do they? So what is this question asking for more ? Also note that global buttons don't quite have anything in common with the question you asked. I assume you want to see it as an implementation of the Forms toolbar that operates on the form or table the focus is in. This however does not work for the web as there is nothing that keeps track of which component has a focus and to what iterator (data block) it belongs. This would involve even more coding (though possibly doable)

Best practice for updating ATWRT (Characteristic Value) in AUSP

I've notice that when we change the Characteristic Value of a Classification, that it does not update in the MM record. We have to go into MM02 for each material number that references Char Value and manually change it for row in AUSP to get updated.
Should i just create a report to Loop through and update table AUSP directly? Or is there a better way to do this via a function or BAPI etc? Wanting to know what best practice is recommended.

Hi Scott
You can use a BAPI to do that.
Check the following thread:

Best practice for the Update of SAP GRC CC Rule Set

Hi GRC experts,
We have in a CC production system a SoD matrix that we would like to modified extensively. Basically by activating many permissions.
Which is a best practice for accomplish our goal?
Many thanks in advance. Best regards,
Imanol

Hi Simon and Amir
My name is Connie and I work at Accenture GRC practice (and a colleague of Imanolu2019s). I have been reading this thread and I would like to ask you a question that is related to this topic. We have a case where a Global Rule Set u201CLogic Systemu201D and we may also require to create a Specific Rule Set. Is there a document (from SAP or from best practices) that indicate the potential impact (regarding risk analysis, system performance, process execution time, etc) caused by implementing both type of rule sets in a production environment? Are there any special considerations to be aware? Have you ever implemented this type of scenario?
I would really appreciate your help and if you could point me to specific documentation could be of great assistance. Thanks in advance and best regards,

Best practice for implementing Manufacturing Cost Planning ( MCP)

is there any best practice for implementing Manufacturing Cost Planning ( MCP) using BI-IP?

Hi:
Both options are viable. If you reverse posting in FB50 then FI GL account postings will also be reversed and along with cost center postings. Hence here advantage is that cost center reversal will be with referenced to the original document with which wrong posting were made. Disadvantage here is that you will to post the entry again in FB50 . In KB11N you will simply transfer cost center amount from wrong to new one that should be in place of it but here you will have no reference . I personally think reversing posting through FB50 is viable options , reverse postings can be seen in KSB1 as well against that cost center.

Pharmaceuticals Best Practice - 21 CFR Part 11

I work for a SAP partner and our company would like to learn more about and provide support for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance - tracking changes and who made the changes. Do we need to have the pharmaceuticals best practice installed in our SAP installation, or can I simply just use the AUT01 - AUT10 transactions?
Any help / suggestions is appreciated
Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,
The trick with best practices is that you can use different building blocks from most best practices in other environmnents. U can use the configuration guide P45: Configuration Guide (http://help.sap.com/bp_pharmav1600/Pharma_US/HTML/business_support_EN_US.htm), by 'simply' following the steps in this guide.
Ofcourse there is a but, because you need to be sure that you implemented the right notes and baseline packages.
Hope I gave you some direction in where to look.
Kind regards,
Ruud
