Capturing Attendance without using swipe machines

Hi,
There is a challenge in using swipe machines with the clients. (The employees are working at Plants/Fields, they may not be able to come to office and swipe in/out.) As of now the employee only signs in the attendance register and his signature is considered as present.
How can we suggest capturing attendances to the client in such cases? One option could be the Time Administrator inputs in the excel sheet the in-time and out-time of the employee.
Question 1: Can we upload the attendance data through excel sheet? (Do we have to develop an ABAP program?)
Question 2: The time-administrators at various locations has to input the data before payroll run date. The payroll will be run centrally. How long does it take for the time administrators to update the data? How long does it to take to run payroll for employees around 2000 in number?

Answer for Question 1:
you have 2 solutions to encounter this issue
1: Develop a BDC "using ABAP" to upload attendance in IT2002
2: Upload the excel using LSMW
Answer for Question 2:
updating the excel sheet depends on the details that you will be capturing and how many employees.
i.e: if you are going to capture the basic needs for IT2002 for around 100 employees, i believe it won't take more than 5 hours for the whole month. but i would suggest this would be Weekly or daily basis.
regarding running the payroll for 2000 employees, if there is no errors i believe it would take from 10 min to 30 min.

  • Can i install snow leopard on Macbook without using Time Machine?

    Hi, I've backed up my files using SuperDuper and made 2 copies of my data on 2 usb sticks. Do I also need to use Time Machine to back up my files aswell, in order to update osx and install snow leopard?? If I've already got my 2 copies of my files on usb sticks, isn't that enough backing up? Any suggestions will be appreciated thanks!

    Thanks for answering, so did you manage to upgrade your mac with snow leopard without using time machine? I'd just like to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
    To clear up some possible confusion, you don't need any backups (Time Machine or otherwise) to upgrade a Mac from an earlier OS version to Snow Leopard. To do that, just follow Apple's instructions to launch the "Install OS X" app on the Snow Leopard DVD, which upgrades the OS to Snow Leopard without changing your user settings, erasing or changing your user files, & so on. It is an easy process & generally works quite well.
    The backup(s) are in case something goes wrong, which is unlikely but not impossible. You should regularly be backing up at least your important user files to an external device whether or not you upgrade ("important" meaning anything you can't afford to lose) since hard drives can fail without warning or other calamities might destroy some or all of the data on them.
    At upgrade time, bootable clones like SuperDuper! makes are especially good insurance against any unforeseen upgrade problems: if something goes wrong you can just clone back to the internal drive & return to the pre-upgrade state, without having to hassle with installing anything.

  • How do i restore to earlier date without using time machine

    I logged in to my Mac a couple of days ago and it said it was restore to some weird date. It does not appear anything changed, but now when I am trying to download a Sims game (don't judge me lol) it won't download saying there is no Internet connection even though there is. Is there anyone to restore the system to a date that I know it was working properly without using time machine? I never bought an external drive so my time machine is not set up. Thanks.

    If you don't keep a backup, you can't restore your machine to any state except the state in which you received it, brand new, with none of your own stuff on it. That makes a pretty convincing argument for backing up, doesn't it?

  • Can I use wd smart ware without using time machine

    I have bought My Book Studio to use as an external hard drive for back-up to an iMac with Lion 10.7.2. I have heard of problems with WD Smartware. Can I use My Book without installing the WD Smartware or, on the other hand, can i use the WD Smartware without using Time Machine? Thanks 

    You can use the drive without using WD Smartware.  Use Time Machine with the drive and leave off all the WD supplied software.

  • Using toshiba canvio hard drive without using time machine

    Has anyone used the Toshiba Canvio external hard drive to save files to without using time machine?  I want to move files off of my computer onto the external drive not just duplicate all the files on my computer as a backup.

    I guess the external drive is hanging off the Mac..
    Getting access to the drive from PC should be possible.. you may need to move public directory onto the external drive and then set up permissions to do it.. I have not done it and simply would not do it.
    External hdd are cheap enough buy one for the pc.. That is then formatted NTFS which windows is going to natively read.. this will be much easier if the backups are ever required than to use HFS+ formatted disk hanging off the Mac.
    You can also get your dead TC fixed.

  • Can you use Time Capsule as back-up without using Time Machine (ie 10.4.x)?

    I have not upgraded to Leopard but own a Time Capsule (long story). Is it possible to back-up my data on the TC without using Time Machine (since that works with Leopard but not with 10.4).
    Thanks for help, thoughts, free cookies, etc

    I just called Apple technical support with the same question... Here's what worked for me: go to the Utilities folder and open the application called 'Airport Disk Utility'. When it opens, make sure both 'Automatically discover AirPort Disks' and 'Show Airport Disks in the menu bar' are selected. An icon will appear in the status bar. Click on the icon, then select your time capsule from the 'Airport Disks' list. The Time Capsule icon should show up on your desktop as a network-type icon. After that, you can 'drag & drop' your files onto drive the Time Capsule -- same as with any generic hard drive...

  • Capture IP without using X-Forwarded For

                      Hello Friends,
    We are running a web-application that has a login on the very first page.
    We want to capture the real IP addresses of all the customers that visit our application.
    We have Cisco layer 3 Load balancer configured in a shared mode with Natting.
    We are running IBM http server over Apache. 
    We proposed using "X-Forwarded For" header to capture client IP but were not allowed due to known vulneabilities associated with X-Forwarded for.
    We want to capture client IPs for "http" and "https" without using "X-Fwd for".
    Can someone kindly suggest if there is any alternate to it?
    If yes then how to implement it?

    Hi Vivek, adding X forwarded method.to load balance policy. So that source ip address is added to HTTP header, is the only method. Unless the application itself does not request source ip add in the header. Which can be passed through the load balancer.

  • Can I use the Time Capsule without using Time Machine?

    Can I just use it as a wireless backup storage device? I'm not a huge fan of Time Machine. is Time Machine the only interface for the Time Capsule?

    Hmmm, I can't see where the confusion originates. The table near the bottom of www.apple.com/timecapsule/specs.html has one row labelled "For backup using Time Machine" and another row labelled "For AirPort Disk with a USB hard drive".
    The requirement for backup via Time Machine is OS 10.5.1 or better. Time Machine is not supported in pre-Leopard (OS 10.5) nor in Windows.
    The requirement for using Time Capsule as a remote disk is identified as "Mac with Mac OS X v10.4.8 or later" or "PC with Windows XP (SP2) or Windows Vista; Bonjour for Windows (included on Time Capsule CD)".
    Doesn't that pretty much spell out that Time Capsule works as a network drive without the need for Time Machine?
    Also Joe (the OP) never indicated any desire to use it with Windows so I'm not sure why all the discussion about Windows compatibility. ??
    Also the quote posted by Henry seems pretty clear:
    "Time Capsule with Time Machine in Leopard is the ideal backup solution. But that doesn’t mean Tiger, Windows XP, and Windows Vista users can’t enjoy the benefits of Time Capsule, too. Because it mounts as a wireless hard drive, Tiger and Windows users simply access Time Capsule directly from the wireless network for exchanging and storing files quickly and easily."

  • How Çan I Recover Files Without Using Time Machine?

    Before Time Machine, you used to be able to recover files using, I think, one of the utilities.
    Now if you search for "recover files" in Help, all the options involve using Time Machine with and without Spotlight.
    I don't have a backup drive to use Time Machine yet but I would still like to try to recover an accidentally deleted folder.
    How can I do that now without Time Machine?

    Basics of File Recovery
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When you delete files you erase only the directory entries, not the files themselves. However, the space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    There has never been file recovery software in OS X. Recovering deleted files is not the same as restoring files from a backup. The best way to prevent losing a file is to maintain a backup. Obviously you aren't doing that, so you should consider adopting some kind of backup plan.
    Basic Backup
    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. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
    6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
    7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    8. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    9. Data Backup (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
    Although you can buy a complete FireWire drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
    Cool Drives
    OWC
    WiebeTech
    Firewire Direct
    California Drives
    NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • Is there any way to get my files back without using Time machine?

    I used CCleaner without knowing it. It erased my download folder totally. I don't have any time machine.
    any suggesion?
    Sonny

    Sonny operating any computer without a backup plan is just not wise and you are now probably going to pay a minor price. What would happen if you lost all of  your photographs, music and personal records? PLEASE begin a backup plan immediately, there is absolutely no excuse not to. I would recommend first starting out by buying an external HD and using Time Machine and then get a second external HD to create another backup using cloning software such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (both less than $30). For less than $200 you can have a viable and safe backup plan. The reason it's wise to have redundant backups is because a backup can fail too, I've had it happen, thank heavens I had 2 backups which saved the day.

  • How can i restore an iphoto library without using time machine

    I somehow created a new iphoto library and my old one was deleted and wasn't saved using time machine. Is there any way i can get my old library back. Please help!!!

    The dock icon always enters the last IPHOTO library opened - so all may not be lost ..
    Look in Macintosh HD/Users/*your name on your mac/Pictures
    iPhoto Library is the default - if you have another iPhoto library with some extension that may be the new one -- so simply click on iPhoto to reset the dock icon.
    If you use time machine - and the Iphoto library is empty - Enter time machine while in this folder and back up through time until you find the last one with pictures.

  • Downgrade from Mavericks to Snow Leopard without using Time Machine

    Hello.
    I upgraded from Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8) and upgraded to Mavericks but the Time Machine was not turned on. Is there anyway to downgrade back to Snow Leopard?
    I contacted Apple Support and was told that it is not advisable to format the drive and do a clean install using Snow Leopard installation Cd's since Mavericks made changes to the hardware on the iMac. They advise using time Machine to downgrade, but this option is not available to me. Is this true?? Or can I re-install Snow Leopard with no issues?
    Thanks.

  • Backing up iPhoto pics without using Time Machine or an external hard drive

    I cannot figure out how to back up my photos on my one year old MBP. I haven't gotten around to buying an external hard drive (so many choices and there seems to be problems with every one I look at - advice?), but at this time the only important data on my MBP are my photos (approx 9 GB). I've searched the various forums, looked in The Missing Manual (Mac OS X Leopard), and read the help sections on the computer but cannot seem to find step-by-step directions for backing up to a flash drive or a few DVDs. Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unless you have an external storage source you can't backup your photos.
    You could burn the image file to a DVD disc by selecting about 4GB of files in iPhoto and exporting the photos to a folder on the Desktop and burning that folder to a DVD with the Finder.
    Or select about 4GB worth of files in iPhoto and use the Share->Burn menu option. That will give you a DVD disc with a mini iPhoto library on it that contains those 4GB of original files, their modified versions and all metadata associated with them.
    Click to view full size
    When you want to copy any of the file on the disc back into iPhoto mount the disk in your optical drive and it will show in iPhoto where you can select what you want and drag to the Library icon to copy them back into the library.
    CLICK TO VIEW VIDEO
    I'm sure you have other documents on your MBP that you need to backup. An external FW hard drive for use as a Time Machine backup drive is essential if you value your photos and other data on the hard drive. Consider for a moment what you would have to do to get back where you are right now if you lost the entire internal HD.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • How do I transfer data from old laptop to new one without using time machine?

    I just bought a new Macbook and want to transfer everything over and wipe my old Macbook so the kids can have it.  I have an external hard drive, that has photos etc. on it already.  When I try to do a Time Machine back up, it tells me the drive is not formatted correctly and that to complete the back up, it will have to erase everything.  I can't move the photos back on to the old Macbook because there isn't enough free disc space.  So, I don't think I can do this with Time Machine.  How would you recommend I transfer the data over?  Thanks!

    Use Migration Assistant during the setup of the new machine. Connect both machines up to a wired network if possible and follow the instructions. It's worth running software update on the old MacBook first as there was an update to Migration assistant for OS X 10.5 and 10.6 published recently.

  • Can I install windows XP and Ubuntu in macbook pro ? (without using virtual machine )

    Hi,
    I am planning to buy new Apple Macbook Pro with i5 processor , 2.4 GHZ , 500GB HDD , 4GB RAM.
    I want to know can I install ubuntu and windows XP on this Mac ?
    I don't want to use VMWare (virtual machine) software to install these OS.
    When system boots It should shows the options, which OS to open ?
    is it possible to run and perform well 3 OS (including Mac) . or it will affect something ?

    Two, yes, but not three.
    head to you know Ubuntu support forum and see what they are up to, they might be able to guide you.
    Do you use a Mac or will this be a first?
    XP is EOL I am sure you know and no more patches or support, and with new Sandy Bridge and later motherboaords, lack of true support for SSDs often used in laptops... dying.
