Best scenario for keep things running

Hi!
Currently one ZCM 10.3 server. What could be best scenario to have all more-less running when primary ZEN server is out of service? I mean, is there a option to have another so called backup ZEN server? Yes, well, backup's etc., of course, but restoring takes some time. Also, we don't have very big budget to have BIG systems. Just a question. =)
More thanks, Alar.

Pull the LAN Cable from the ZCM Server :>
If the ZCM Agent cannot contact your ZCM server, it will cause
everything to operate in Cached Mode.
So users should still get their old apps and policies.
Perhaps install another ZCM 10.3.0 into a new Zone on a VM.
Update it to 10.3.3
Shut down all services and keep them off permanently.
Then run some type of nightly File Synch from your active Server to your
Backup server. Including a copy of the DB and Log files.
If your main server is ever assaulted by a stray pot of coffee, you
could then simply do the procedure of restoring the production servers
identity. It should not take too long, especially since last nights
copy of the DB and Content repo would be there.

What are the rules for keeping things running smoothly

As my iMac is now a month old and has been burdened with a number of trials, shareware demo, open source, video tutorials and general clutter; what are the basic rules for keeping things running smoothly? My 'log in' is certainly a lot slower although I don't have any apps loading and finder has become much slower with less spring in it's tail. Are there any caches etc that need dealing with? I'm afraid to say I was a bit of a pro at hammering my windows setups till they came to a stand still and I can't bare to see the Mac going the same way. Have I got to be ruthless and limit the number of apps I have installed? The quality of what is available just on apple.com makes it hard for a software addict to stop downloading Any help or just a reality check would be much appreciated....rob

A good disk utility to empty caches: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
Use Onyx once a week, run the Maintenance and Cleaning scripts and that will help speed your Mac up pronto.
Run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) once a week and Repair Disk Permissions:
Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
*Tip... very important: Run Disk Utility BEFORE and AFTER all software updates. That will save you headaches down the road.
You do not need to limit the number of apps installed but one thing to bear in mind. A Mac needs a minimum of 10% available disk space just to boot and it's all too easy fill up a drive and before you know it, you can't open apps, or they open and freeze up, or you can't install software. A good way to keep an eye on available space: Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the black arrow next to: General so it faces down. You will see: Capacity and Available ... Best best is to always have 15% free drive space.
Back up your important data every day. If you have a system failure and need to either do an Archive and Install or completely wipe the drive and reinstall your system software, you'll be glad you did.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software.

What is the best product for keeping a mac pro running fast?

What is the best product for keeping my mac pro running at optimal speed?

Enough RAM. More than just so there are no pageouts.
A fast small SSD for boot system drive that is only OS and apps and 50% free
Backup clones of your system and data plus TimeMachine
Avoid security suites from 3rd parties and other would be helpers (unless instructed to for a specific need and purpose).
Replace and update older components. could be graphic card, no longer suffices wtih Lion, or causes heat and dust. And make sure that the fans cool the system properly. May need to boost the low default fan speed profile and that is one utility that can be a must. Also monitor system temp readings.
Don't jusst idly restart after a crash or freeze, use Lion Recovery Mode and Safe Boot instead.
Make backup clone before making updates and changes to your system.

What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC? Assume I'm a casual user.

What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC? Assume I'm a casual user.
I am lead to believe by some real smart guys on the Apple site that If I have the Apple Store partition my iMAC and add the full suite of Office products on that partition, I can run the few Access programs I have and need to run.
Comments encouraged. Thank you in advance for your consideration and help.

You would have to install Windows, then install Microsoft Office Professional for Windows on it To install Windows you will have to choose between Boot Camp (faster, free) and a Virtual Machine (simpler, slower, easier to backup)
You should try LibreOffice (free), it can open Access files, it may not have all Access's feature set though, worth a try.

Give me the Best Scenario for Chemical Manufacturing

Hi Experts
Pls Give me the Best Scenario for following:
To make XYZ there is two stages as follows:
To make Semi finished item ABC for XYZ: (My Scenario: Prod. Order1)
Item A + Item B + Item C
To make Final item XYZ: (My Scenario: Prod. Order2)
Semi finished item ABC + Item X + Item Y + Item Z
Finally I will get the Finished Item XYZ in ltrs:
Again my client will sells as like XYZ 100ml, XYZ 200ml, XYZ 450ml, XYZ 2ltrs, XYZ 5ltrs, XYZ 20ltrs.
No :1 (My Scenario: Goods issue in ltrs for Finished Item XYZ in ltrs)
No:2 (My Scenario: Make Goods Receipt against the Good issue qty
For Ex: Good issue
XYZ -3ltrs u20131000Rs
Good receipt:
XYZ 2ltrs-1--2litres-666.666Rs
XYZ 450ml -2----900ml-300.333Rs
XYZ 100ml -1-----100ml--033.00Rs So total 3litres and 1000Rs of Good Issue (XYZ -3ltrs u20131000Rs).
Here in my scenario I am some what feeling that lot of chances is there to miss the price difference B/n G.I & G.R, calculation of qty to match the good issue and Calculation of correct item price to have Item cost.
So how to Overcome this issueu2026u2026.
This is Standard Process for The items to sell:
Also the items XYZ 100ml will be sold in One Box which has 60 bottles of each 100ml.
Also the items XYZ 200ml will be sold in One Box which has 30 bottles of each 200ml.
Also the items XYZ 450ml will be sold in One Box which has 24 bottles of each 450ml.
Also the items XYZ 2litres will be sold in One Box which has 10 Jars of each 2litres.
Also while selling, Cartoons or Box used for packing the goods so inventory of packaging has to be reduce while doing Delivery document.
So Pls give me the Best way to implement in Our SAP.
Item master setup:
XYZ 100mlu2014Sales UoM:Bottles-Item per sales unit:60-Packaging UoM(Sales):1Cartoon u2013 60Bottles.
Eagerly waiting for your reply

Hi
I will get Finished Item XYZ, but again i have to convert to xyz 100ml, xyz 450ml, xyz 2ltrs.... also these are maintained in different item codes.
SO how to convert this to xyz 100ml, xyz 450ml, xyz 2ltrs.. from Finished ITem XYZ....
Because this xyz 100ml, xyz 450ml, xyz 2ltrs.. will be varry in production from Finished item XYZ , the production will be according to sales order most of the time.
Pls give me the scenerio.......

Best program for keeping lists?

What is the best program for keeping lists on an iPhone? I see several "to do" programs on Apple Web App site, but wondered if anyone had a good list program or had feedback about the "to do" apps.

They all work about the same in my experience. Since none of them sync I don't find them exceptionally useful.
The way I do it is I type all my to-do's in the notes field on a dummy contact in Address Book / Outlook. This way it syncs the notes field with my computer.
Not pretty, but it gets the job done for now.

Best practice for keeping a mail session open in web application?

Hello,
We have a webmail like application where users login with their IMAP credentials, then are taken to an authenticated area of the site where they can manage different things about their email account.
Right now the application is opening and closing a mail store connection (via a new javax.mail.Session) for each page load based on the current logged in user credentials. To me this seems like it would be a bad practice to keep opening and closing a connection each page load.
Are there any best practices for this situation? It would be nice to be able to open the connection to the mail server on login, then keep that connection open until the person logs out, session expires, etc.
I can probably put the javax.mail.Session into the HTTP session, but that seems like it would break any clustering functionality of tomcat. This would be fine if the machine the user is on didn't fail, but id assume if they failed over to another the mail session would be gone. Maybe keeping the mail session in the http session, checking for a connection, then first attempting to reconnect with the logged in credentials before giving up would be a possiblity?
Any pointers would be appreciated

If you keep the connection open across pages, you're going to need to deal with
timeouts - from the http session and from the mail server.
If you don't keep the connection open, you're going to need to "resynchronize"
your view of the store/folder with each operation, in case the folder is modified
by another session.
The former is easier in the common cases, especially if you don't care how gracefully
you handle failures. The latter is more difficult in the common cases, but handles
failure better, and in particular handles clustering better. You'll need to measure it to
see if it meets your performance and scalability requirements. You may need to mix
the two approaches to get acceptable performance.

Best Practice for Keeping Imported Music Organized? - Help Please

I download tunes and am looking at the best way to keep iTunes up to date with new downloads (as opposed o CD rips). Am i best to have all files in one overall folder and then just use iTunes to import the files from whatever folder they reside in (after the download) to the copy in iTunes and delete the original? To date Ive been keeping them scattered across drives and just using iTunes as the pointer to the original but now losing track as to what has been imported and what hasnt. Perhaps the above is a better way and if so....best to delete iTunes, reinstall with an empty database, import all and then delete from original flile locations? Help and thanks in advance!!
Porsche216

I import similar to the way you described. Import then delete original. I keep a folder just for importing. iTunes has a function consolidating the library. It will copy from the multiple locations to the iTunes library location. You would then have to delete the originals to free up space.

Best Practices for Keeping Library Size Minimal

My library file sizes are getting out of control. I have multiple library's that are now over 3TB in size!
My question is, what are the best practices in keeping these to a manageable size?
I am using FCPX 10.2. I have three camera's (2x Sony Handycam PJ540 and 1x GoPro Hero 4 Black).
When I import my PJ540 videos they are imported as compressed mp4 files. I have always chosen to transcode the videos when I import them. Obviously this is why my library sizes are getting out of hand. How do people deal with this? Do they simply import the videos and choose not to transcode them and only transcode them when they need to work on them? Do they leave the files compressed and work with them that way and then transcoding happens when exporting your final project?
How do you deal with this?
As for getting my existing library sizes down, should I just "show package contents" of my library's and start deleting the transcoded versions or is there a safer way to do this within FCPX?
Thank you in advance for you help.

No. Video isn't compressed like compressing a document. When you compress a document you're just packing the data more tightly. When you compress video you do it basically by throwing information away. Once a video file is compressed, and all video files are heavily compressed in the camera, that's not recoverable. That information is gone. The best you can do is make it into a format that while not deteriorate further as the file is recompressed. Every time you compress a file, especially to heavily compressed formats, more and more information is discarded. The more you do this the worse the image gets. Transcoding converts the media to a high resolution, high data rate format that can be manipulated considerably without loss, and go through multiple generations without loss. You can't go to second generation H.264 MPEG-4 without discernible loss in quality.

HT201250 I have 2 Lacie external drives connected to a Windows PC. What is the best scenario for backing up files on both computers? I would like to save all my files on one backup drive and have Time Machine backup that external drive to the other.

I don't know if this is a good idea, because the external drive is going to be slower than using my local hard drive to open files from. My IMac has 1tb and the 2 external drives have 1tb each. The IMac is my computer and my Wife uses the Windows PC, so I have to make sure both of our files are backed up. Thanks in advance for any advice regarding this issue.

I'm in a similar situation including movies I've purchased from iTunes...
Here's my setup:
I have all my iTunes data (music, movies, etc.) as well as about 10 GB of photos stored on a nework storage device that uses RAID-5 with SATA disks. This is basically a little toaster-sized NAS machine with four hard drives in it (www.infrant.com). If one of these drives dies, I get alerted and can insert a new one without missing a beat since the data is stored redundantly across all drives. I can also just yank out any one of the four drives while the thing is running and my data is still safe (I tried this after I bought it as a test).
That's how I prevent problems with a single disk... Redundancy
Now onto "backups"...
Nightly, my little RAID toaster automatically backs itself up to an attached 250GB USB drive. However, these backups are only of my critical data... documents, photos and home movies... I don't bother backing up my "Hollywood" movies since I can live without them in a disaster.
... I actually don't permanently store anything I care about on a laptop or a desktop. It all goes on the NAS box (Network Sttached Storage) and then my other computers use it as a network drive. It's attached via Gigbait to my main computer and via wireless to most everything else.
My achilles heel is that I don't store anything outside of my house yet. If I was smart, I'd alternate two USB drives attached to my NAS box and always keep one of them somewhere else (Safe Deposit Box?).
...and that's just one way to do it.

Best practice for keeping battery life optimal

I am in a job role where my usage of my iPhone 4S is best described as:
Weekdays: long call (60+ minutes) after long call (60+ minutes), etc. but MOSTLY voice calls.
and
Evenings/Nights: Use my phone occasionally, mostly apps/data/entertainment type of use.
So far, I tend to keep my phone plugged in while I'm on these long conference calls, unplug when I need to step out, or step away from my desk, but then plug back in for the next call, etc.
I plug in at night to start a fresh, 100% full battery the next day.
Should I do anything differently to get the best life (long term) out of my battery? Should I not keep it plugged in while using it?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have to admit I never gave special attention to batterie on my 3 Ipod-iPhone and 2 MacBookPro and battery lasted for 3-4 years (even 5 on my first MBP).

Best option for profilling app running in third party propritery platform?

hi !!
i am involved with a legacy project wherein jdk1.3.1 was used for development, the java code is deployed in a propritery platform/server ( meant for telecom applications). The server was basically meant for C++ modules but with popularity of Java the vendor started supporting deployment of Java modules as well...but its still a lot away from being called good enough :(
My problem is some memory leaks that i am facing in the application, and coz the JVM is started internally by the third party server/platform based on some configuration info on what all java code is to be executed. I am not in control of starting somethign like hprof....
what arethe best ways to do profilling in such a scenario?? can something like hprof be executed programmatically ?? ( as i get control of JVM once its started by the 3pp/platform )
Or the other option might be plugging in some JNI code on JVMTI..but unfortunately time doesnt support choosing that option....:(
( i would go for that in worst case scenario but am just hunting out some cheaper options available)
I hope am able to convey the problem ....

Best method for keeping iMovie projects long term?

I read through 30 pages of posts as I think this is a pretty basic question, but didn't see it directly addressed, so please forgive me...
Some of my movies are mammoth in size (as much as 30GB for 1 movie), which I've learned are due to iMovie handing onto full clip size even when only 10 seconds of it makes it into the final film...
I am starting to move the movies off the iMac onto an external HD, but don't know what is the most economical way to keep a copy digitally without sacrificing a lot of quality? Full Quality QT? as iDVD project instead of iMovie project?
Any suggestions are most appreciated. Thanks to all.

Hello Toddieu,
I am sure that there are better ways to store your projects, but I have struggled with the exact same question that you have and here are my solutions. I like iMovie 6, but I hate the "non-destructive" editing which makes your projects huge. So, this may seem strange, but I start my movies in iMovie 4. I import all of my raw footage and then do the first round of crude editing which, as you mention, sometimes reduces a 5 minute clip, down to a couple of 10 or 20 second clips. By the time I am done with this process, I usually reduce an hour's worth of "raw" footage down to around 30 to 40 minutes worth of "good stuff". Then I close iMovie 4, copy the movie file (just to be safe), and then open the copy using iMovie 6. When you do this, iMovie 6 will tell you that this movie will be permanently changed to the new format, which is what you want, so click OK. If the movie opens correctly, and everything looks good, then I continue editing the rest of my movie using iMovie 6 (fine cuts, transitions, titles, music, effects, chapters, etc). In the end, using this technique, an hour's worth of edited video uses about 12 gbs of HardDrive. I have several external HDs and I store all of my finished movies on these externals as iMovies (full quality). You don't want to save as DVD projects, because these are compressed files so you will lose some quality.
Like I said, I am sure there are easier ways to do this, and I am interested to hear what other's are doing, but this works for me.

Best scenario for PtP bridge with RV0XX

Dear gurus
We would much appreciate your input for a headachless join of two networks.
Due to bandwith requirements, we need to join a network with an RV016 to a network with an RV082 via a point to point air bridge. (VPN over adls was not cutting it) fortunatelly there is line of sight.

We need LAN-B endpoints to be able to reach servers on location A and viceversa
We pre configured two point to point radios for the tower people to install. (we could change this configs)
Topology (crude sketch)
http://screencast.com/t/JoLKCvhoFO
Our questions: best port to plug the radios into the RVs WAN ports? switch ports? What rules or static routes need to be created?
We do not wish to change the IP clases/subnets if possible. All suggestions, pointers and ideas are welcomed.
looking forward to this.

Hello again
We got the point to point delivered.
The radio on location A is plugged to a switch port on the RV016
The radio on location B is plugged on WAN2 on the RV082, which gets an IP via DHCP of LAN_A
The router on location B, 192.168.1.1 can ping 192.168.0.1 and devices in 192.168.0.XX, but devices on Location B cannot ping anything on location A
The router on location A, 192.168.0.1 cannot ping the router on location B, 192.168.0.1 nor anything on that network.
We need devices on location B 192.168.1.1~254 to be able to reach a server on location A under 192.168.0.1~254
Please advice, thanks

Best method for keeping clients updated

I have five seats for Creative Cloud, therefore five workstations that need updates installed on a regular basis.
In common with most corporates (I imagine) we don't allow end-users to have Admin access, so IT have to do this for them.
It can take quite some time - up to a couple of hours per workstation if it's been neglected for a month or two.
IT don't have the time for this, and the end-users can't spare their machines for it.
I can't believe there isn't some automated method that does not require the user to have Admin rights.
What's the right way to be doing this?
Thanks in advance.

Update - I discovered the Packager and the Remote Update Manager.
Job done.
