Best way to modify an existing Term Set in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
We have a term set called 'Responsibilities' in our term store which contains less than 100 level 1 values and is currently used by a user profile property. We have requirement to update the existing term set values. The new 'Responsibilities' term
has over 700 values with some up to level 3.
By default when a CSV file is used to import a new term set with an existing name, it creates a new term set post fixed by a number 1 but never overwrites the existing term set. After some testing i have come with the following options and wanted to
know which one is the best way to create new term set:
Delete an existing term set and create a new term set using a CSV file. I believe it will cause any issue where the existing values have been used. But we are expecting all the user to re-edit their user profiles and change the 'Responsibilities' values
to the new term set values. I have also tested and can verify after full crawl has run the user profile with old values (where users haven't updated their user profile value) doesn' t appear in the search.
Use PS script to update an existing term set using the CSV file and deprecate the old values once the new term set values have been imported. This will still require user to re-edit thier user profiles to change deprecated values.
Rename an existing term set and import the new term set using the same name i.e. Responsibilities_Old and re-import the 'Responsibilities' using the CSV file. Re-configure user profile property to the new term set.
Can someone please suggest if there is anyother better way to update an existing termset? Thanks

Best way to clone an existing drive, then clone back to a dual SSD Raid 0 setup?

Have a Mac Pro 5,1 (mid 2012) and want to install 2 SSD drives in a Raid 0.
Will attempt to use the Apple Disk Utility to set up the raid. any suggestions on this first part will be welcome!
But what is the best way to clone the existing SATA drive onto the Raid setup?
The 2 SSD are Samsung 84 Pro 256 GB units, installed on a Temp SSD Pro 6 Gb SATA PCIe card.
The OS is Mavericks 9.1.
Thanks !

Always no matter what, have a clone or three - clean, working image, last version before OS X 1.2.3 that you are about to install.
It is about INSTALLING OS X, not updating once you have it - though updates and security updates are known to be monkey wrenches too at times.
Never remove safety net, no matter how safe it seems.
Use a clone to run DU and repair the drive, the drive partition, it handles both (partition integrity was new to Lion), AND to invoke TRIM command when repairing (which won't happen in recovery partition mode of DU).
CCC does a smart update. You don't worry about applying updates to those, and in fact wait a few days before applying updates sometimes, or just make sure the clone is up to date so you can boot from and do a restore if needed. A system restore image is only as good as knowing it will work in an emergency should one arise.
Like to see people break ground on new projects and how to get more out of their systems. The 5,1 does not have the limitations or issues that even the 4,1 exhibited let alone even more for the Early '08 3,1s.
One good SSD alone should / would / make more improvement in performance for low investment than any I have seen. If you have the Tempo Pro card and 2 x 250GB 840's that is about $600 investment - throw in another system SSD and use the Tempo for scratch and/or Aperture and insure you have "more than enough" RAM and your workflow should be smooth. Even wtih that, which I call "best practices" the nMP 6.1 makes Aperture etc even smoother as everything is optimized better and the 1200MB/sec SSD and 4-channel 1866 DDR3 makes graphics smoother and respond instantly to your touch (sports car handling vs your sedan?)
After doing a lot of installs, upgrades, Migration Assistant; and then on a 2-4 week basis boot from another volume to run DU Repair.
OS X alone without the cache used and other things on the boot drive really only takes 40-160GB and makes it easy to create a DU sparse disk image for CCC to update and restore from and that can be kept anywhere. And have a small 200GB emergency maintenance boot volume that you can add to and create on any volume you have handy, shrink and add to that 2TB media drive or TimeMachine drive volume.
I would just set aside half an hour weekly or as needed to clone your system. Than clone again before you apply anything, system update or update to applications or new applications.
With all your personal data and media and projects not on the system you don't need a RAID0 array to hold as much data, no need for the added complexity or using two SSD devices, easier to maintain and restore. There is even a small added overhead to any RAID. With an 840 EVO 500GB just above $300 it makes a lot of sense to use those, and almost too big for a system drive. Fine if the system drive is not just OS and applications but media and stuff don't need to be there. Again, Aperture/Lightroom and other uses, yes and with t he new Mac Pro people are putting and using it for multiple purposes and uses that they would not have wtih the 2012 5,1 and earlier. But it is so fast it makes sense - and Thunderbolt 2 external storage has added more costs to storage.
Kind of got long winded, hope it proves helpful. And not confusing but may raise more questions and ideas.

Best way to modify built-in components?

What's the best way to modify the built-in classes? I want to
have full control over the code, so sub-classing won't work.
Maybe the best way is to copy the source into my project
directory, i.e. Button.as if I want to change the default Button?
But I ran into a problem: Flex Builder cannot find Version.as. I
tried adding framework/src/mx/controls (the folder than originally
contains Button.as) to the additional source folders (Properties
> flex build path) but it still can't find it...
Thanks a lot for the help.

Google for "flex monkey patches"!

Problem got when setting up Sharepoint 2010

Hi,
As Filter pack 2.0 is one pre-requisite of Sharepoint 2010, but when setting up this
Microsoft Filter Pack 2.0 (KB2837594) 64-Bit Edition
I get this
As I'm setting up Sharepoint 2010 on the server, BTW, can I use ASP.NET v4.0, instead of v2.0, mentioned below?
Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min

SharePoint automatically provisions for IIS Application Pools that are .NET 2.0 only. If you manually changed them, you simply need to change it back via IIS Manager -> Application Pools, identify the pool in question, go to Basic Settings, and change
from .NET 4 to .NET 2.

Best way to modify Sequential Process Model for report generation.

I am using the Sequential Process Model in my application and the TestStand Reference Manual, (Figure A-1), clearly shows the following processing sequence:
...<part removed>
Call the Test Sequence
Display the UUT results
Generate a Report
Log Result to a Database
...<more removed>
I want to generate the report BEFORE displaying the results to the operator, or at a minimum, I want to generate the report in parallel with displaying the results to the operator. Currently, the problem I have is that when the test is done I have some automated scripts that take the data file and do some statistical processing on it, but the way the Sequential Process Model is set up, the test might finish but until the operator acknowledges the PASS/FAIL results display, the resulting file is never created. It could be overnight, over the weekend, or several days before an operator comes back and says, "Oh that last test finished, I guess I can press the OK button!", but until they do, I get no data. So I want the report generated no matter what, and right after the test finishes.
Any ideas as to how that might be best accomplished?
Thanks a billion - Ski (noob)

Ray,
Is that new in 4.2 that the engine won't call a callback with nothing in it? I just did it and it seemed to work fine. I'm using 4.1.1 though.
Ski,
Maybe there is a better solution for what you want. Are you using the SequentialModel? What version of TS do you use? Why does the report have to be written before the pass/fail banner displays? The pass/fail banner gets displayed in the PostUUT callback. Like Ray said if you just put that in your client sequence you won't see the banners. However, I'm assuming there is more to this than just that. I'm assuming you want to see the report because of your external analyzer that is gathering the statistical data. And then based on that data you want to allow the user other options. Is this correct?
If so then I would override the PostUUT callback and then use a different callback (possible the ProcessCleanup callback) to displaly the banners. You could even do this without modifying the process model (which I always try to avoid). Just override both the PostUUT and ProcessCleanup callbacks. And then put code in the ProcessCleanup to behave like you need.
Or if you want you can modify the process model and create a new callback lower in the process model. Then have that new one do the post report analysis.
Just some thoughts.

Best way to store photos long term?

I'm retiring from my job as atheater teacher and would like to keep the photos I have worked spo long to get organized. What's the best way to store them?

On an external HD. Export the photos out of iPhoto via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export with Kind=Original and SubFolder Format set to Events.
Select the EHD as the export destination. That will give you a set of folders with the same names as the Events in your iPHoto 9.4.3 library.
If you have an earlier version of iPhoto you can use iPhoto To Disk

UI design - what is the best way to allow the user to set some kind of infusion at varying (non periodic) times?

I want to allow the user to specify a curve like this:
Such that some subVI outputs the value A2 when a time variable is within the range R1, A1 when the time variable is within the range R2, and A3 when the time is within the range R3.
My design looks something like this:
With error checking that looks like this:
My question is, is the array based approach optimal? How else could I tackle this?

I think I can summarize the conversation to this point as an answer to the original question (What is the best way ...) -- before starting to write any code, think carefully about what you want to accomplish, and write it down (otherwise known as "Write the Documentation First"). One of the points of a good User Interface is that it doesn't allow users to "make silly mistakes" -- it leads the user "by the hand", restricting the entries to "legal values" and requiring that entries be made in a logical manner.
So if you were going to have a list of Infusions to enter, it makes sense to decide on whether to enter Time Intervals (which are always >0) or Times (which, logically) are always in ascending order. You can (and should) decide which you want (or you could have a control that would let the User decide, but that might be too flexible) and then enforce your "rules".
Suppose you decided on "Intervals" (which seems, to me, to be more User Friendly). After the User has entered the intervals (and you've provided a nice plot of Infusion vs Time), you could allow the User to "split" an Interval, "Remove" an Interval, or "Edit the Infusion" of an Interval, or you could decide to have a simpler "Accept or Start Over" choice -- if you only have a few intervals, the last might be the simplest (and thus the Best) Design Choice.
Spending more time thinking before coding usually pays Big Dividends!

What is the best way to modify the closed captioning button to read "FR" instead of "CC"

I'm considering using Flash to modify the button text for the CC button in one of the playbars.
Just wanted to know if there is a better way than hacking the playbar fla file.
And if this is the only way, if there are publishing settings to watch out for with the swf file output.

Other than hacking it from Flash, you can insert a button (Labelled FR) to appear for your project and user can click on it to toggle the Closed Caption on/off, you can use the cpCmndCC variable, 0/1, Enable/disable closed captioning (CC). You can keep the Closed Caption button unchecked from Skin.
This should be easier, I guess.
Alternately, you can learn in depth about customzing Playbars here --

What is the best way for a parent to share/set up an apple id for their children's iPhone if they have an Iphone too?

So I work for a wireless provider and i often have customers who buy their children iphones. They end up sharing Apple ID's amongst themselves. After they have done this- what is the easiest way to get the content being shared (contacts, pictures, music via icloud) seperated and onto the correct apple id's. Is there a way to get songs purchased on one apple ID duplicated onto another?

They will be able to download everything that was bought with their Apple ID. If they all shared an ID then they switched to their own ID they won't be able to use any apps or music bought with another Apple ID. As I explained in my previous response. There is only one way to share apps and content across multiple Apple ID's and that is home share. So, NO there isn't a "Smooth" way to do it.

What's the best way to transfer ALL existing content to new iPhone?

Because "Backup" and "Restore from Backup" have not worked for me in the past. I don't want to have to re-create all of my existing app data - passwords, logins, game progress, etc. I'm not worried about email and contacts, as those are easily synced from Google - but losing the rest of my data again after "Backup and Restore" operations has me nervous about upgrading to 4s.

Whenever I bought something directly from the iPhone in the past, the next time I went to syc it to iTunes a dialog box popped up asking me if I wanted to tranfer items purchased on the iPhone but not in the library.

Yes, but I think the process is different between auto-syncing an iPhone and manually managing an iPhone.
If you auto-sync your iPhone you'll be prompted about purchases on your device which do not yet exist in your iTunes library. You would normally choose to transfer these purchases, then the auto-sync proceeds as usual and a backup of your iPhone is made with each auto-sync.
If you manually manage the iPhone's contents, just connecting it to iTunes may not automatically initiate these processes. If you just want to drag and drop a playlist from your library to the iPhone, purchases may not be transferred and a backup may not be created. But if you click the Sync button then these two things do happen. If you don't have any new purchases on the iPhone, you can either click Sync or Create Backup to just create a backup of the iPhone.

Best way to modify SAP standard ABAP Webdynpro in SRM 7?

Hi there,
I am used to making ITS changes on SRM 5 and am now working with SRM 7.
I now need to add some custom fields to the PO screen/s within SRM 7 (incorporating some customizing include fields) and would like to know if there is a "recommended way" of doing this? Meaning with ITS it was easy....I went to the HTML template, made the change and that was it.
I assume I would have to find the ABAP webdynpro for PO in SE80, and then would I just get an ACCESS KEY for the object and make the changes? Or is thier some enhancement framework that I do not know about?
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
Lynton

Hi Guru,
I have added custom fields as you said. it is working fine.
Now the user wants to display description for the custom added fields.can you let me know how we can proceed for this.
Also let me know for the standard fields if want to display description can be achieved through customization or need to do abap development..

Best way to modify a WMV file and save to computer

I have a 200 MB WMV file for a 4 hour meeting presentation. I want to split it up and save it into 4 separate 1 hour presentations. With a little editing in the middle to remove breaks and downtimes.
I can do everything but the Save. Whenever I save it, it either is in really poor quality and 50 MB or it is okay quality and 500-5000 MB. Quality doesn't have to be great but I should be able to read 12 point text when expanding it to full screen.
How do I get my final copy to be of equal quality as the original and proportionallly small file size.

I agree with Steve. While WMV is a supported format, the CODEC's used will initially heavily-compress the footage, and require some intense horsepower to internally convert to that DV-AVI.
Were I faced with your Project, WMM would be my first stop. If I needed Effects, or more editing capabilities, then I would convert that WMV to DV-AVI externally, Import that, but would probably Export/Share to DV-AVI, and use the free MS Media Encoder (name just recently changed, so my link no longer works with for the new version), as PrE (and PrPro) is not the ultimate WMV Encoder.
Remember, your material is already heavily-compressed, and no amount of conversion, whether internally, or externally, will recover the lost data and quality. Keeping things in WMV with WMM will keep it as good as it gets, and that is why Steve, and I, recommend it for this sort of Project. WMV's are great for delivery, but heck to edit.
Good luck,
Hunt

Best way to move date between LabVIEW 7.1 and 2010

We have a large LabVIEW based control and data acquisition system that for reasons beyond the scope of this post is at and needs to stay at LabVIEW version 7.1 for the forseeable future... We are soon to add a camera diagnostic to this system that, again for reasons beyond the scope of this post, needs to be written in LabVIEW 2010... The 2010 piece of code will run and need to receive some information such as shot number, when to trigger, etc. from the 7.1 side of the system... Then after a shot has occurred and a camera image has been acquired, the 2010 code will do some on the fly processing of this image and within a few seconds will need to send back some results data to the 7.1 side...
The 7.1 code uses a tag engine approach to sharing data among different codes running on different machines... I think now that more modern versions of LabVIEW use a shared variable approach... But I need to communicate as I've described above between the two versions, 7.1 and 2010 (or it could be 2011 if that would offer some advantage)...
I'm new at this moving of data between versions like this so if something could offer some advice, especially if there is some tutorial information on this topic, that would be much appreciated... Thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to offer... thanks... bob...

It really depends if your tag engine like communication approach is a home brown solution or something like the LabVIEW DSC engine. If homebrown and well written you should be able to reuse the client library part of it in newer LabVIEW versions without to many hassles. If it is LabVIEW DSC it may be a bit more complicated since the only means to share DSC tags in version 7.1 was as far as I can remember their proprietary TCP/IP tag interface, which was replaced in newer versions with he shared variable engine.

Constant refreshing of IE is only way to get site to display after a SharePoint 2010 Content Database Migration to 2013..why?

Hi,
I am having an issue of having to refresh my IE to be able to view a migrated SharePoint 2010 site in 2010 mode in SP2013. Is this Token Service Problem, Request Management problem.....
Any ideas out there - driving me nuts!
Thanks.
John.
P.S> Still think this could be related to over-provisioned host as all SP Machines are virtual. Won't know for sure until Tuesday.
Thanks.

Best way to migrate existing XP SP3 partition to a virtual machine to run via Windows 8.1 as physical partition and not a vhd?

Hi I have a current XP SP3 setup have been using in a dual boot with Windows 8.1(on separate partitions on different hard drives - I think these are SATA drives) but now am thinking of migrating my XP partition preferably as a live virtual machine
to be run as a guest via Windows 8.1 as host so I don't have to do the rebooting. Also prefer this to making a VHD of my XP so can use the existing partition allocated for it rather than taking up extra space as VHD on my windows 8 (and don't want yet
to replace my xp dual boot in case it does not work so well as vhd, as I have a lot of old educational programs my kids still use on it that I don't really want to put onto my W8.1). Will also save time if I don't have to convert it to VHD first. I
also do not want to reinstall a new XP Sp3 virtual machine from scratch for same reason - will take too long to resetup -just use existing as is.
I have used VMWare player and Virtual Box in past with an old 98SE system as a virtual VHD/VPC file but VMWare workstation is paid which may be the one I need to use a physical partition but I prefer to try freeware options first.
Will Hyper-V in Windows 8.1 (I have retail PRO version of both my XP and Windows 8.1) be able to do the same as VMWare workstation? OR is there another option to run the physical XP?
The other thing with my XP setup is that the user profiles that people login with are located on a different partition E (80GB) to my XP which is on J (100GB) and most of the programs for it run from partition D (over 120GB) and the XP boot loader resides
on a partition C (2GB) (which is not the Windows8.1 partition which becomes C only when it boots, but this C drive for XP may also be having the Windows 8 boot loader and files for that -using EasyBCD to handle boot menu of W7 type boot loader).
So I need a system that can mount these other physical partitions also alongside with my XP partition when it boots up.
So what are my options for running this XP SP3 setup via Windows 8 as a guest operating system?
Also will doing this be likely to require reactivation of my existing windows XP (retail) which means I cannot then use it again if I go back to the XP dual boot at times or in case the VM setup does not work?
Also do I need to change my XP first so that it boots off its own drive rather than the C partition - and how do I set this up then using EasyBCD or windows boot repair?

HI I found I had to make physical disk offline to use in Hyper-V which I cannot do and do not want to do with all partitions - cannot choose just ones want.
So now am trying to make VM of my physical XP -and other partitions neeeded but D partition is over 127Gb so cannot use Disk2VHD.
Here is what am trying now - any other suggestions for alternate software to vmware convertor/disk2VHD maybe to do partitions over 127GB? I have posted also at VMware forums but no answer as yet.
Advice on doing a physical XPSP3 conversion to a VM for Virtual box and hyper-v ultimately
Hi I need advice as to best way to convert an existing XP Sp3 install on a physical hard drive along with other related partitions to a Virtual box VM image with aim to convert that VM image to a Hyper-V VM for use with Windows 8.1 host.
I have several C (boot ini partition), D programs, E Data, etc partitions and a current dual boot with an extra XP install I use as a backup system.
My main XP is on J drive and other XP on I drive with C drive boot ini that switches btw 2 with J set as default.
I have a D partition that is over 127 Gb so cannot use Disk2VHD which would have been easier, and it seems there is not a way to make a direct Hyper-V VM from converter but only Vmware VM?
I do not have or want to purchase as yet VMware Workstation as have W8.1 Pro that can use Hyper-V to run my XP SP3.
I seem to also have an issue with COM+ corrupted on my machine XP J drive ( It tried to reinstall the COM+ but my es.dll file won't register and I did get a failed conversion with converter when tried earlier at 94% saying VSS snapshots have
reached their limit). I think this is related to my COM+ issue which I am not sure now how to fix apart from repair install of my Xp (as I have tried repairing COM with various articles searched on google to no avail) which I may do first before
retry conversion. However my ALT XP on I drive seems to be fine with being able to browse the COM+ applications ok. SO maybe I can use that instead but it is the J drive XP I want the most (not sure if will work at reboot if I do not
hot clone it?)
I have read also the manual for converter 5.5.1 ver standalone and am not sure of a few things so if someone can guide me it would be very much appreciated.
First of all which version VM should I make image of if I later want to convert it to a Hyper-V VM image (I only have free Virtual Box latest ver, VMware Player and Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 PRo) ie: VMware workstation 10 or Vmware Player 6 or lower
ver or other? OR is there another software I should install for the conversion or later conversion to Hyper-V? I prefer to use Hyper-V over Virtual Box and Vmware Player if possible, but should these others work just as well for my Xp Sp3 existing
system as a VM in Windows 8.1? Please advise which you think is best of these?
Should I leave all configuration options off while converting and even XP licence, workgroup etc or is it most likely that I will have to reactivate my XP (retail ver) once I reboot in the VM although I am putting to run on Windows 8.1 host on exact same
hardware as my current XP in dual boot (replacing my physical copies which I don't intend to use after conversion)? Can I enter licence etc later as well?
I currently have 8 GB ram total -should I leave Xp one at max it suggests of around 3Gb ram?
I have Quad core processor -but should I make Xp Vm one dual core for when it runs on W8.1 host to allow the host some processors so can run at same time or leaving my Xp at quad core will be ok?
Network - I want to use host one as I read it is safer for obsolete XP so do I set that at start or is it better to change this later too -allowing xp to have own internet access (maybe as may need to reactivate also - don't want to call Microsoft
if can avoid it)?
If I just want to convert resulting VM to Hyper-V VM -which software to use after for this that is freeware (Virtual Box or VMware Player or Hyper-V -not sure which can do it) and do I not then install Vmware tools?
SYSPprep should I do anyway regardless of what target VM will be when configuring later, even if on same hardware machine? OR can I just boot Vm and see if boots ok first?
Anything else I should set specifically for this future use of the VM image in hyper-v?
