Best way to revert to 10.3.8

I'm considering installing a video capture card. The maker does not recommend using OSX 10.3.9 but supports 10.3.8.
I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what's the safest way to revert back one step to 10.3.8 from 10.3.9?

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid that, but it seems the best way.
The card is the Blackmagic Design Pro SD card. They specifically recommend against using it in combination with 10.3.9. Since the main advantage of 10.3.9 is supposed to be in third-party application support (and Photoshop is the only third-party app I've got) I figure I'm not losing much.

This new iTunes *****... What is the best way to revert iTunes?

Hey guys you cant change more that one artist at a time, you can't expand the song list into a vertical list... Any thoughts?

You can still select multiple tracks or multiple albums and use Get Info to adjust them all.
Not sure what you mean by "you can't expand the song list into a vertical list..."
To roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the installer from here, uninstall iTunes. Probably best to also remove other suppporting software, e.g. Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support & Bonjour. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

What is the best way to revert to Beta?

I updated the beta to the final. I really hate the tabs back in old place. So, much so that I would rather use the Beta. I re-downloaded the Beta. I, however, can't re-install it over the final. Can anybody tell me how to get around that?
I do not have Time Machine, so that is not any option for me.

Version Management for classes ; Best way to restore a class and methods

I have a question about the best way to actually restore a class to its previous version.
There is a class that contains about 60 to 80 methods. Now the task it to revert the class back to some previous state.
The desired versions of the class are spread across several transport - so there is no single transport that holds all the right versions.
What is the best and easiest way to proceed from here?
Do we have to revert back each method individually? Or is there a better method?
The desired version are in a another system - having a transport complied in that system does not to seem an option here.
Any tip? Is there any aux. report etc. that might help out?
Thanks for your input,
C.N

Excellent answer - of which I was afraid of. Maybe I can press the matter and get them to initiate a transport of copies from the target system to the source system - which indeed would be the best solution.
But just imagine it is done - the well needed fix applied - what is the best way to revert back to the new version in the source system?
What would the transport of copies do to the transport history?
There seems to be just the manual way...or is it doable to store the current state of the class in a transport having it released but not imported into any other system?
After the fix is applied can that transport be imported back to restore the current version (for which the fix needs to be applied again of course...)
Thanks for you thoughts and input

Best way to back out data changes after a release

Hi,
I'm trying to decide on the best way to backup some production data in case a release fails and we need to roll back the changes. This would be for data updates only, not schema changes. We have extremely limited access to production, and another team handles all the RMAN backups. The people who actually implement our releases are also pretty prone to mistakes.
I have thought of two options. The tables we want to backup are about 9 MB total in size (it's about 10 codes tables).
1. Create a bu table for each of the tables before the release. So for JENNSTABLE, we would create a JENNSTABLE_BU using CTAS. If we need to revert, we can drop JENNSTABLE and rename the JENNSTABLE_BU accordingly. The bu table would remain in production until the next release, where it would be reused again. This would be really easy to script and therefore avoid any mistakes by the production support team who implements our instructions. We would also be able to determine what values changed by querying the bu table at any time (currently old values are not retained anywhere).
2. Use datapump to export the 10 tables, then truncate the tables and import the previously created files to restore the original data. I'm hesitant to use this method because I've never used datapump before, and as we don't have access to the servers, creating file system files makes me a little nervous. If I used a bu table, I can logon to the database and at least tell if it exists.
Are there any preferred methods for doing this (besides restoring a table w/ RMAN)? Is there a best practice? Any advice is appreciated!

Hi sb92075,
That's a good suggestion. FLASHBACK_ON is set to no on my database, but if I understand correctly, I can still do a FLASHBACK TABLE and the undo data would be used. Is that correct?
My concerns w/ using Flashback are ..
1) The client might decide to rollback the changes a week after they've been executed. The undo data might not be available and the flashback would fail.
2) If any of the following processes are part of the release, the flashback wouldn't work:
"The following DDL operations change the structure of a table, so that you cannot subsequently use the TO SCN or TO TIMESTAMP clause to flash the table back to a time preceding the operation: upgrading, moving, or truncating a table; adding a constraint to a table, adding a table to a cluster; modifying or dropping a column; adding, dropping, merging, splitting, coalescing, or truncating a partition or subpartition (with the exception of adding a range partition)."
Can you address those two issues? Thanks so much for taking the time to respond! This forum has helped me immensely with my work.

What is the best way to install Leopard?

I am hoping for some advice as to the best method to install Leopard - should I erase and install or simply do an upgrade?? Also, is it worth cloning the hard drive or installing Leopard onto a clean hard drive first?? If so, how does one clone a hard drive and then how do you boot from an external hard drive??
Or should I wait for the next version of Leopard (I am a little concerned about all the reports of bugs etc.)??
Any advice would be very welcome - I have had this MacBook Pro (my first Mac) for a year or two now and love it, but I'm not too sure about how to go about all these things.
Many thanks.

Hola Erve,
I would say that if you are hesitant that you should wait for at least rev 1 to come out or once you have found out that all the programs that you need to run are compatible with Leopard. With any major upgrade, you are bound to experience some minor or major issues.
If you decide to install, whatever method you use make sure you back up first!
The best back up mechanism is for you to create a clone of your original drive - this way, if something goes wrong you can revert back to your back up.
See this about cloning:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Development/Computers/docs/sysadmin/mac-clone.html
http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macgems/2005/06/superduper/
(I'm sure you could find more info you search these forums as well)
After you have made the proper back up, if you want to start clean, I would say that the best way is to erase and install. Know that you will have to reinstall all the applications and move all the files to their correct locations - photos, music, documents, etc.
FYI, I did an upgrade and I have not encountered any major issues. I have even been surprised of the programs that are still running under Leopard!
Anyway, good luck!

BOM and ECN, what's the best way to do it?

Hello Experts,
I want to use ECN to keep track of changes on mulitlevel BOMs, but I am struggeling with understanding how this is done in the best way.
Basically, my understanding is that if you want to do a change, you create a change master and set a validity date. Then, next time you want to do a change, a new change master is created with its validity date. So you end up with a lot of change masters for the same BOM.
Now, how am I supposed to report all changes done to a BOM in a userfriendly and easy way? I cannot find a report that gives me changes pr part/BOM number?
Am I missing the point here or do you have any good ideas?

Dear GAR,
Change number helps you to find out the history of the objects like BOM,material master.
The history includes the creation,changes and deletion of datas.
But there is no direct report in SAP where in you will get all the details like in which field the change
has happened in combination with ECM.
You can have a look in the reports like CC05,CC04,CC07.
Still if this does not suit your business requirements means then you have to go for a customized report.
You can also refer these links related to ECM,
Re: ECM
Re: ECM ECR

Re: Bom Change Enter change number - to make error message
Revert back,still if you have more queries.

Best way to extract lines from a log file in Linux

My query is that I have a log file which is around 7 GB and I want to extract lines between a certain time range which should total up to half of the size to 3.5 GB. The lines start with a time range like “2014-03-11 17:35:00”. I want to extract the lines between “2014-03-11 17:35:00” to “2014-03-11 18:05:00”. What should be the best way as there may be a grep command or a sed command to do it.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

How about the following:
awk '/2014-03-11 17:35:00/, /2014-03-11 18:05:00/' infile > outfile

Best way to generate ER diagram

We have Oracle 11g in our environment. I wanted to know which should be the best way to generate an ER diagram. Below are these steps in SQL developer (version of SQL developer is 3.2.x):
a) View → Data Modeler → Browser
b) In browser tab, select show on newly created relational model
c) Then just drag the tables you want (from e.g. the «Connections» tab) onto the model.
The problem is I am not able to drag the tables.
I hope I have been able to explain my requirement of generating ER diagram.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

2) If all the tables are required in ER diagram, then should all the tables be selected in point c) of my post.
If all the Tables in your relational diagram are to included in the ER diagram, just click the Engineer button.
If some are to be excluded, you can expand the Tables node in the tree in the top part of the dialogue and deselect the ones you don't want. Then click the Engineer button.
1) How to save the ER diagram
To save your model for future update, you can go to the File menu and select Data Modeler > Save.
To save your diagram as a PDF or image file, go to the File menu and select Data Modeler > Print Diagram.

Best way to create a seperate Play All option...

On my sub-menus I have an option to Play All of the video titles for that sub-menu. What is the best way to do this? I was planning on creating one time line with the corresponding video clips for each sub-menu. If I do it like this will I have double the amount of data using space on my DVD?
I haven't had the chance to experiment myself... I am waiting on footage to render as I type.
Thanks,
Robert

Robert.
Are these titles all joined together, or separate clips?
If the former, then point the "Play All" to the first chapter, and then create a series of Chapter Playlists, one for each clip, and point the submenu buttons to these. The end actions should go to the submenu they were called from.
If the latter, then set up a series of ordinary playlists.
For "Play All", create a playlist with every clip in the correct sequence.
For the individual clips, simply point the buttons to the individual timelines, and have their end actions reverting to the submenu they were called from.
Hope this helps.

Best way to update through testing repo

As I am finding out, there are certain limitations to pacman. I enabled the testing repo to try out xorg 1.7, and to see if this could help with my X delay at startup. I enabled the repo and installed xorg, gcc, and among other packages. My problem is, I dont want the testing repo enabled by default. So I comment out testing from my pacman.conf, and now I cannot upgrade without dependency errors.
Should I have used the ABS to install xorg 1.7...? Now I would like to disable the testing repo and be able to still sync and upgrade as normal. Am I missing something here...? Since I upgraded all packages from the testing repo, and now all my revisions are newer, and when I disable the repo to prevent any other updates, I am now unable to upgrade normally... So... what is the best way to upgrade through the testing repo..?

You can revert all packages to versions in [core]/[extra] by using "pacman -Suu". Otherwise, you need to wait for these to move out of [testing].
What problems are you observing?
I didn't necessarily want to downgrade all of the packages I upgraded through the testing repo. It was after upgrading the packages from the testing repo, and then commenting out the "testing" in pacman.conf, and then trying a normal 'pacman -Su'. I was then receiving errors on dependencies that were not met, and was refusing an upgrade. (which i can understand, since the testing db is being ignored, and the revision numbers are different and would cause conflicts)
I have reverted back to the earlier versions from the upgrade with a 'pacman -Suu' Now what is the proper way to upgrade just xorg..? Should I use the ABS..? I dont want to enable the testing repo, because if I do, It wants to pull in all of the testing branch that I dont want. So really my original question is... What is the bet way, or proper way to upgrade a package from the testing branch...?

Best Way To Transfer Data To New Mac

I know this question has been asked ad naseum, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for today...
My new iMac arrives today (w00t!) and I want to transfer all my data over to the new computer. But I'm coming from a Mac that is four years old (though still running Lion) and there's probably a lot of crap on the old machine like corrupt preferences and whatnot, and I don't really want all that baggage coming over with me. I obviously want to transfer over my documents, iTunes and iPhoto Libraries and all the iWeb stuff and whatnot. I'm not afraid to reinstall my apps, if that's the ideal scenario and I don't care if my settings and dock reverts to deault, if that's the best way to do this. So I'm trying to determine the best (and possibly fastest) way to load up the new Virgin machine. I have the ability to connect the two computers via Firewire and I also have an up-to-date Firewire Time Machine Backup of everything as well. Any and all advice is appreciated. And don't be afraid to tell me I'm crazy and that I shouldn't worry about corrupt stuff and I should just Set Up Assistant or Migration Assistant (though I hear Set Up is better?) Thanks!

If all you want to migrate is the data files then use Pondini's Setup Assistant guide as instructed. It will ask what you want migrated however if you only choose data it will migrate ALL of your data files. If you have some files you don't want to migrate then it may be best to start the old machine in Target mode after setting up the new machine then you can pick and choose what data files you want to copy over to the new machine.

Is there a way to revert to Lion?

Is there a way to revert to Lion from Mountain Lion?
Mountain Lion is an ongoing disaster for me. Time Machine doesn't work right, I am unable to Restore, unable to reinstall anything meaningful from Time Machine backups and unable to pull my data from Time Machine into a clean install. What makes it more frustrating is that I see many similar questions here in the groups and on the 'net, but no usable fixes. Even pondini's helps have gotten me nowhere.
This is the first time in 16 years that I've been unhappy with an Apple product and right now I wish I'd left Lion installed and sat Mountain Lion out. I've literally wasted WEEKS trying to find workarounds for things that have traditionally just worked.

The best what you can do - Clean install of Lion. (i agree with you about Mountain Lion, but Lion is more rubbish than ML, i think Snow Leopard is still the top of the hill

I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final step optional but highly receommended.
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version.. (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.
