Bootcamp Technical Question...

I have read that Bootcamp places Windows in a contagious space partition. I would like to know if Mac OS X remains in its contagious space partition as well once a Bootcamp partition has been created.
Up Next is an illustrated example (don't know how much will it help my question):
Does the drive partition map look like this after you create a Bootcamp Partition?
----------(MACOSX)----------))---------(BOOTCAMP)----------
or Like this?
------(MACOSX)------))------(BOOTCAMP)-------))-------(MACOSX)-------
Thank you for your assistance in this matter!

Thank You Niel for your assistance with this technical question. Now I know that OSX will remain in a continious partition in the hard drive and Windows will remain on its own continious partition as well. I was asking this because I wanted to know if every programs, OSX Updates or files that were created in my Mac OS X partition would be put in another part of the HDD if OSX found a bootcamp partition in the way. However, I do not think this should happen since the Mac OS X Extended File System avoids fragmentation by providing a partition with continous HDD Space and it's logical that OSX will want to create the Bootcamp partition on its continous space just like it would do with a program or file, I dont believe that OSX will want a Windows partition in the middle of the OSX continious HDD partition space.
Niel, do you agree with my assesment here?

  • Technical question:  Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

    Technical question:
    Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
    Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
    I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
    I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

    I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers.  I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
    Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

  • Some Technical Questions Concerning iPhoto 09.

    I would like to use iPhoto to arrange, organize, tag, and otherwise un-mangle my family photos taken within the last ten years. However, I have never so much as launched an instance of iPhoto! I have a couple of technical questions that I'm hoping can be answered by a forum guru.
    1.) I love the idea of iPhoto tagging and organizing my photos via places, faces, events etc. How does iPhoto store the metadata which allows it to organize as such? Is this data added to the photo files as additional EXIF data? Or is there an iPhoto database file/files which needs to be maintained?
    2.) When "importing" photo files into iPhoto, I'm assuming that additional thumbnail files are created and stored. Does it store additional "full" versions of the photo files by default (as iTunes will do with MP3s if you are not careful?) And when you start creating smart albums et al, I'm sure something similar to iTunes Library files (.ITL, .XML etc) are also created. What are the important files and directories created in the process?
    Perhaps these questions can be answered appropriately by addressing my third question...
    3.) Can someone point me to a whitepaper, article, webpage or discussion of iPhoto which goes beyond the available Apple.com tutorial? I know there must be a book available, but I really don't have the time to dedicate to a full book on the subject. I'm extremely lazy and still haven't finished the copy of Ulysses I purchased ten years ago. Just need some quick and dirty explanations...

    IF you're not too lazy to read the replies:
    1.) I love the idea of iPhoto tagging and organizing my photos via places, faces, events etc. How does iPhoto store the metadata which allows it to organize as such? Is this data added to the photo files as additional EXIF data? Or is there an iPhoto database file/files which needs to be maintained?
    This metadata is stored in the iPhoto database. It can be written to the files on export. Prior to Export there's no need to. I have no idea what you mean by "iPhoto database file/files which needs to be maintained?"
    2.) When "importing" photo files into iPhoto, I'm assuming that additional thumbnail files are created and stored.
    Correct. They are what you see in the iPhoto Window in Organising mode.
    Does it store additional "full" versions of the photo files by default
    Yes.
    And when you start creating smart albums et al, I'm sure something similar to iTunes Library files (.ITL, .XML etc) are also created.
    No there aren't. Again, this is all stored in the iPhoto Database.
    What are the important files and directories created in the process?
    There's only one you need back up. It's the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder.
    At a guess this question:
    Does it store additional "full" versions of the photo files by default
    suggests you don't want this to happen.
    You can run iPhoto in Referenced Mode where this won't happen. I strongly urge you not to, expecially as you haven't a clue about iPhoto and are very lazy.
    *How to do it:*
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    *What Happens:*
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    *Some things to consider:*
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
    My own opinion:
    I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

  • Need the old announcement back not to post technical questions here

    Not that it was ever very effective. But, better than nothing.
    I'm beginning to see a number of posts with questions and responses that don't belong here, but in the appropriate forum (to which they haven't yet been moved.) I would like to see this forum still reserved for discussions or doesn't-fit-elsewhere feedback only.
    I'm seeing one post with replies, which is almost a day old; it hasn't been moved.
    I can understand wanting to help someone and not let their question langish, but I wouldn't want to see this become too common.

    If they don't agree, they (you) can choose to do what they want. I'm not suggesting any limits on what people can say here; that's their right completely. But, some may, perhaps, see the correctness -- or not -- in the suggestion (not demand) I made, which, if it wasn't made, they might not even begin to consider.
    My remarks were not intended to inhibit people from making any response to someone who mistakenly posts here. I believe I suggested they could refer the poster to the appropriate forum. Again, how or in what fashion, someone chooses to respond is entirely up to them.
    It would have been over the top if I had been in any way scolding, but my remarks and tone were far from that.
    If this forum bears any semblance to the euphemistically named "community," these kinds of disagreements are inherent in the very nature of any community and I'm ready to live with that.
    If someone mistakenly posts a technical question in the wrong technical forum, I usually answer their question, anyway, if possible -- I'm not a sticker, or hardass, as some may be, when that occurs. But, I think the nature of this particular forum suggests a different approach.
    Of course, the ultimate decision rests with the hosts.

  • Are there any actual technical questions?

    I know, I get it. I too felt a tiny bit of an ouch when they announced the cut. I wanted Apple to acknowledge that the price drop was a little unsettling to early-adopters and to thank us for taking a chance on a totally new product. Never did I imagine they would offer us monetary compensation, that's pretty unheard of for a company as large as Apple. They didn't have to do it, but they did because Apple recognized that without it's loyal base it's just another company, so bravo Apple. Of course it's a credit...Apple still has to make money. Yes, they totally expect and hope that you'll spend more than the $100. Apple is not a 501(c)3 Charitable Organization, doling out cash because you feel disenfranchised.
    But enough is enough. If you feel ashamed, seek therapy. If you want cash, see an ATM. If you want to blend your iPhone in protest, post it on YouTube and send me the link because I love laughing at idiots. But if all you want to do is whine, please go elsewhere. People complained, they made themselves heard, Apple responded, Job well done.
    Now can we please go back to discussing technical questions like why not having GPS and MMS is a dealbreaker, and answering questions like "Why doesn't any sound come out of my right speaker" or "When can I use my iPhone in Ethiopia?" Come on, that's why we're all here folks.

    AMEN

  • A technical question about time.

    I find myself wondering what would be the total playing time of my iTunes library. How can I determine this? I could copy the total file into Excel then add up the time column, but as I have 12,000 tracks I doubt Excel could handle it. Is there a simple way to do this?

    Select Library - Music and look at the botton center of the iTunes window.
    Click it to change the displayed info.

  • Technical question regarding xml:lang...

    Greetings,
              I have a bit of a technical question regarding language alternative (Lang Alt), are these valid statements if there is no alternatives (using dc:title as an example):
    1)
    This is a test title
    2)
    This is a test title
    3)
    This is a test title
    Are these values valid, or is there an obligration to put them in an rdf:Alt ?? In my head 1 and 2 are valid, but no 3, am I right?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your quick response!!
    Can you please give little more detailed explanation on what exactly is the entity. Where does that entity be defined and what exactly does an entity represent. Please let me know.

  • Sample JAVA Mobile Server Publish code, and technical questions

    Dear Oracle technical representative, or user:
    I need to programmatically create, and remove publications using the pure JAVA classes of Consolidator, ConsolidatorManager, and ResourceManager for the Mobile Server in OracleLite 9i Release 5.0.1. On the creation side I have managed to get the example found in the directory OraLite501\Mobile\Server\Sample\Sample11 functioning using my installation parameters. I had a very difficult time of it because (1) the sample11 code fails to open an jdbc connection to the Mobile Server Repository Schema with the function Consolidator.OpenConnection, and (2) the ResourceManager function openConnection will not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory. The ConsolidatorManager function OpenConnection may also not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory, but I did test the hypothesis. Both of these problems need to be addressed in the sample11 code, and documentation to save other software developers from wasting hours of their valuable time. See line 223, 386, and 448 in the Publish.Java code that follows this problem description.
    With the above two problems resolved, I can now programmatically create publications, but no hints on how to programmatically remove a publication exist in the documentation. The application I am developing will require the dynamic creation, and removal of publications. Also, when developing applications the complete removal of a publication is absolutely necessary when you have botched a publication. Thus my first question is What sequence of ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager function calls will completely remove a Publication?.
    I also have two issues remaining with the code that I have so far developed. These issues will most likely be resolved, when I obtain instructions on how to completely remove a publication, and associated users. But, perhaps not. Referencing the Publish.java file that follows this problem description,
         1. The ResourceManager function dropUser does not drop a user. See my comments, and code beginning at line 277 in Publish.java. Do I need to de-instantiate all subscriptions, and unsubscribe all subscription users before calling this function.? I think, I tried the de-instantiate, unsubscribe sequence without success, but in the confusion I may not have made the try.
         2. How do I get rid of an index created with the ConsolidatorManager function DropPublicationItemIndex?. My comments on this problem begin at line 522 in Publish.java. For some reason the DropPublicationItemIndex function call made below line 448 does not work. What function calls are required prior to calling the DropPublicationItemIndex function?
    Throughout the Publish.java code, I have made comments about some of the problems that I have had in getting the sample11 code working for my installation parameters. I think these comments should help the programmers maintaining the ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager code improve the stability of the programs. Please pass these comments, and attached files to the appropriate individuals,
    if you are in a position to do so.
    The other files that follow the Publish.java code are
         1. Compile.bat - Compiles Publish.java using j2sdk1.4.0.
         2. Run.bat - Executes Publish using \ j2sdk1.4.0\jre\server\jvm.dll.
         3. Webtogo.ora
         4. tnsnames.ora for the Mobile Server.
         5. tnsnames.ora for the Database.
    Feel free to access my server if you need to do so in resolving my problems. The parameters you will need to gain access can be found at the top of Publish.java, and in the included *.ora files.
    Thanks,
    Thomas G. Matney

    Dear Oracle technical representative, or user:
    I need to programmatically create, and remove publications using the pure JAVA classes of Consolidator, ConsolidatorManager, and ResourceManager for the Mobile Server in OracleLite 9i Release 5.0.1. On the creation side I have managed to get the example found in the directory OraLite501\Mobile\Server\Sample\Sample11 functioning using my installation parameters. I had a very difficult time of it because (1) the sample11 code fails to open an jdbc connection to the Mobile Server Repository Schema with the function Consolidator.OpenConnection, and (2) the ResourceManager function openConnection will not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory. The ConsolidatorManager function OpenConnection may also not work unless the Webtogo.ora file is in the current working directory, but I did test the hypothesis. Both of these problems need to be addressed in the sample11 code, and documentation to save other software developers from wasting hours of their valuable time. See line 223, 386, and 448 in the Publish.Java code that follows this problem description.
    With the above two problems resolved, I can now programmatically create publications, but no hints on how to programmatically remove a publication exist in the documentation. The application I am developing will require the dynamic creation, and removal of publications. Also, when developing applications the complete removal of a publication is absolutely necessary when you have botched a publication. Thus my first question is What sequence of ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager function calls will completely remove a Publication?.
    I also have two issues remaining with the code that I have so far developed. These issues will most likely be resolved, when I obtain instructions on how to completely remove a publication, and associated users. But, perhaps not. Referencing the Publish.java file that follows this problem description,
         1. The ResourceManager function dropUser does not drop a user. See my comments, and code beginning at line 277 in Publish.java. Do I need to de-instantiate all subscriptions, and unsubscribe all subscription users before calling this function.? I think, I tried the de-instantiate, unsubscribe sequence without success, but in the confusion I may not have made the try.
         2. How do I get rid of an index created with the ConsolidatorManager function DropPublicationItemIndex?. My comments on this problem begin at line 522 in Publish.java. For some reason the DropPublicationItemIndex function call made below line 448 does not work. What function calls are required prior to calling the DropPublicationItemIndex function?
    Throughout the Publish.java code, I have made comments about some of the problems that I have had in getting the sample11 code working for my installation parameters. I think these comments should help the programmers maintaining the ResourceManager, and ConsolidatorManager code improve the stability of the programs. Please pass these comments, and attached files to the appropriate individuals,
    if you are in a position to do so.
    The other files that follow the Publish.java code are
         1. Compile.bat - Compiles Publish.java using j2sdk1.4.0.
         2. Run.bat - Executes Publish using \ j2sdk1.4.0\jre\server\jvm.dll.
         3. Webtogo.ora
         4. tnsnames.ora for the Mobile Server.
         5. tnsnames.ora for the Database.
    Feel free to access my server if you need to do so in resolving my problems. The parameters you will need to gain access can be found at the top of Publish.java, and in the included *.ora files.
    Thanks,
    Thomas G. Matney

  • A technical question-not a complaint for Apple? please answer

    I have a technical qeustion which I have now posted 3 times. Why cant I sync my Outlook 2002 calenders & contacts to my ipod using itunes 7. Is this simply because outlook 2002 is no longer supported or is this just a glich? I would really apreciate some kind of response. This is a techical question and not a COMPLAINT.

    Thanks for your help
    Although it dosen't specifically say it is not supported I agree, it would seem that its isn't. I can't understand why. It was supported by itunes 6 and I didn't have to go through all this rigmarole to sync contacts and calenders, why oh why?

  • SDN BCS Mentor's steep personnel comments for technical questions..

    Please read the thread and let us know if this is the sort of attitude, SDN BCS mentor should continue in the forum..
    /thread/844980 [original link is broken]
    ECC reported results
    When we are literally looking for technical help, we write in the forum.
    Mentor may help or may not help. May guide , may not guide.
    But getting too personnel is discouraging and to larger extend it does spoil the reputation of SDN forum.
    Who is he to ask about my brain and education.. Do the mentor need to go too far?
    He is literally trying to stop me from asking question in the forum and I donot want to feel suffocated.

    Hello,
    Ok my part of the story, very sketchy. The prehistory.
    One man joined the BCS and Financials forums a little more than half year ago.
    Tried to be very active. Pretending to be experienced and having many projects implemented.
    Answering almost all BCS forum's questions. Very often not correctly or  just by rephrasing the others answers.
    Several people told him not to answer for the sake of giving answer if he doesn't know the correct answer.
    Had confrontation with some of such people.
    Created several fake accounts-clones. Clones were used for posting questions and attacking opponent.
    There is no need to say that answers given to clones questions were rewarder if answered by the man.
    Clones were discovered and deleted. But the man's account was left intact.
    Here is a couple of threads in confirmation:
    Re: Statistical Item
    Re: Business Partner Data uploading
    The Man disappeared some time ago.
    Then appeared again after renaming of external presentation of his user.
    The 1st question in the question quated is of the sort "For which purposes accounts are used in FI?" and usually the link from sap.help is enough. Trying to uderstand a little who is this person I found out that it is our hero. But simply under other name. Pretending to be a guru in the past and now not knowing how to use search in forums.
    Maybe I didn't restrain my temper. Sorry for that.
    I have two questions to community:
    1. Should I have restrained myself and give more polite answer, knowing all this prehistory?
    2. Should the user who used to create fake accounts for points hunting remain a part of the community?

  • Structure of Mobilsync/Backup Folder - Technical Question

    Good Afternoon
    Steve was able to help me find my hidden Mobilsync/Backup folders and I wanted to confirm a couple of things.  I've done a fair amount of digging but I could not find any clarity on several questions.
    I am backing up a number of IOS devices:
    A  Apple ID 1 - iPhone 4 
    B  Apple ID 2 - iPhone 4,  IPad Mini
    1.  What I'm seeing is a single back-up folder for these Apple IDs, devices and back-ups.  Is that correct?
    2.  Is there any way to "decode" which back-up is for which device and Apple ID?  I spent a few minutes on the Back-up sub-folder item nanes but couldn't see anything obvious.  I didn't want to touch any of the files in these subfolders.
    I can't "decode" what back-up is for what device (without an outside process of tracking date and time of back-up)... right?
    Cheers

    Hi, matthew.
    The results of this Google search may prove helpful. Apparently, LASTCLIP.TXT is important if you want to edit in FCP by importing directly off the P2. See this result in particular, especially the posts therein by Barry_Green.
    Note: I'm not an FCP guy, so I can't really help you further with the specifics but that little set of tips alone should get you on the way in FCP. Also, looks like that particular forum, DVXuser.com, may have other useful info for you and may be a good place to post.
    If you think that deserves a technical credit, click "Dr. Smoke" above the cat avatar at the left and you can find contact info for me.
    Best of luck with your project. Hope the film wins an Oscar®.

  • Technical question about encoding:  Experimentation may be needed, but..

    I work with a team producing a weekly video for distribution to two other sites. Up until now, we have been capturing (Canon XL2 into FCP on iMac via FW), doing a few quick edits and sending to a DVD via compressor. As an aside, we also have compressor put out a smallish web-version for upload to our website.
    We distribute the video DVD for use with a live audience, whose sole engagement with content from us is via video (We are a church). It's working, and has been working for about a year. Minus a few mishaps - mostly human error stuff...
    I would consider recommending a move to distributing video as files instead of physical DVDs. The potential advantages I see are:
    1. We can encode at a higher quality than DVD
    2. No time spent burning the DVD
    3. No physical transport of a physical device (made of cheap plastic) - We could upload/download via Dropbox or some similar model.
    4. The technician starting up the playback wouldn't have to fight with the DVD-player going to "sleep".
    My question for this forum is on the technical side of things. Can we use FCP/COmpressor to actually put out a higher quality video if it's a file to play on a Mac? If so, how? What kinds of encodes should we experiment with?
    Thanks all!

    Can we use FCP/COmpressor to actually put out a higher quality video if it's a file to play on a Mac?
    yes
    If so, how?
    Simply use Compressor to encode whatever comes out of FCP. There are lots of presets for h.264 based file generation from highly compressed to nearly visually lossless.
    What kinds of encodes should we experiment with?
    See previous answer.
    The key element is all the computers must be able to play h.264 quicktime files. Current Macs will have no issues. And, as long the PC people download and install a current version of Quicktime Player, it is a cross platform compatible format.

  • Parallels, bootcamp install question.

    I currently have parallels running on my macbook is osx. Question, can I still install bootcamp and have xp on partitioned drive. The reason I would like to do this is in case I want to play some games I can boot into bootcamp, plus it would allow computer to run cooler. I would like to leave parallels on osx partitioned drive to use xp to use Internet Explorer for work! Is this possible.

    the new parallels beta lets you run windows from a bootcamp windows install. (so you don't have to have windows installed twice.)

  • Technical questions about the BO repository

    Hi to all,
    I order to understand how BO (talking about BO 3.0) act internally, I need to know the following questions:
    - What information is held in the repository database? Content or just metadata?
    - What is held in the properties blob of the bo_repos.cms_infoobjects6 table? 
    - What is held in the data blob of the bo_repos.cms_relations6 table?
    - Is there any possibility to change directly the UID of an object (eg: a universe) in the database directly? This action could be helpful to work with versions..
    Is there any technical documentation?
    Many thanks,
    Bea

    Hi Bea,
    I tested your case in my environment. After changing the definition of a key figure in my universe (this should be your development version), I renamed it (used the name of a universe on which I already had some reports running on) and tried to export  it in the BOBJ repository. The designer prompted me to select if I want to copy or move my universe. I choose to  create a copy of my universe and on the next step I was asked if I want to overwrite the universe with the same name (in your case this should be your production version). I confirmed overwriting the universe and started then my WebI reports (production reports) in the InfoView. Everything worked fine and the modification was visible.
    Please note that if during the development phase you remove/rename/change the visibility of universe objects (classes, dimensions, key figures), which are used in your existing WebI reports, then you will indeed may have problems. Even if you delete a class or object and add later a new one with the same name, there's no garantee that a WebI report which was using this object will work.
    Still if you just modify or add objects during the development or if you remove first the objects, which you want to delete, from your reports, then you should not have a problem with the approach we are discussing here.
