Collectors and TCOLL - advice needed

Bonjour,
In my RTCTOOL report, I have written as a warning:
7. Note 12103 Collectors and TCOLL
Description Planning table TCOLL for SAP workload collectors for 700 (note 966309 )
Implementation Press the lights icon to get the detailed check log.
Add missing entries to table TCOLL using ST03N > Expert Mode > Collector
and Performance DB > Performance Monitor Collector > Execution Times.
Schedule RSCOLL00 as an hourly batch job if not scheduled.
Everything is green , but: RSSTAT98 has System A instead of S -> is in yellow.
If I go to st03n - Performance Monitor Collecto - Execution times + Table maintenance, I do not have any valid report: RSCOLL00
Any ideas on how to get green ?
Thanks

I suggest you should check for the note and the probelm.
Basis Release 6.40: Note 970449 describes the contents of table TCOLL
for Release 6.40.
Basis Release 7.00: Note 966309 describes the contents of table TCOLL
for Release 7.00.
Basis Release 7.10: Note 966631 describes the contents of table TCOLL
for Release 7.10.
Alos check the job logs of SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFMONITOR.
But if you want to just make it green then you can do so :
Click on the problem line then click F6 or Set-->Green button on the top.

  • Mac video hard drive and camera advice needed

    My newspaper has agreed to switch to a Mac and Final Cut Express video editing setup and I need to make some recommendations to them as to what to get, since they are willing to buy two MacBook Pro laptops, a video camera and a couple copies of Final Cut Express. Help needed:
    1/ What configuration of a MacBook Pro is suggested? The regular hard drive that comes with the computer and an added SATA hard drive for the Final Cut Express scratch disk and file storage? How big should the drives be?
    2/ A Mac and Final Cut Express compatible AVCHD video camera with an external microphone shoe, costing about $1000 to 1,2000. Any model suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Douglas

    Goodness, Studio X, what an aggressive response from someone who knows nothing of the background to my request for advice. I am no expert as perhaps you may be, but from that school of mid-size and smaller daily newspapers whose staff has had to teach themselves video with a lot of self-learning, little funding, trial by error and forums such as this.
    For what it's worth, I trained under our former multimedia editor for a couple years and have since published perhaps 50 video features and audio slideshows to our paper's website, using a tottering system of Premium Elements 4.0, lousy PCs and inadequate cameras. But we've made do while arguing repeatedly for more investment - which is why I finally just used my personal MacBook Pro and Final Cut Express to file a half-dozen deadline video features recently for the paper from a PGA-tour event in our area.
    After them being pleased with the speed and results of that, the beancounters are now willing to make a small investment in a better video set-up, which will be for two MacBook Pros with 500 GB external Firewire drives for video storage and scratch disks, Final Cut and a Canon Vixia HF s21. Now, I have a question for you: Do you always come six guns blazing into forums like this and shoot at people who are just trying to up their game a bit with advice from the otherwise other helpful people here? It is to those folks that I now return my attention and my thanks for their aid.

  • Mac security and maintenance advice needed.

    can someone please advice me how to keep my mac secured and well maintained. i mean the macbook hardware as well as software.
    any antispyware or antivirus i should get for mac? would u recommend one? and which one? also suggest me some free alternatives.
    on pcs putting realtime scanners would slow down the system. i hope thats not the case in mac.
    also, any maintenance software like a defragmenter? i have been told macs dont need a defrag program. recently a whole lot of permissions went bad when i did a 'verify permissions' check.
    also, can someone tell me how often one should calibrate the battery?

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that presently AppleJack is not compatible with Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    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. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
    6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    8. 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.

    Do You Need Anti-Virus Protection for Your Mac?
    According to Rich Mogull's article, Should Mac Users Run Antivirus Software?,
    "The reality is that today the Mac platform is relatively safe. There are hundreds of thousands of viruses and other malicious software programs floating around for Windows, but less than 200 are known to target the Mac, and many of those are aimed at versions of the Mac OS prior to Mac OS X (and thus have no effect on a modern Mac).
    It's not that Mac OS X is inherently more secure against viruses than current versions of Windows (although it was clearly more secure than Windows prior to XP SP2); the numerous vulnerabilities reported and patched in recent years are just as exploitable as their Windows equivalents. But most security experts agree that malicious software these days is driven by financial incentives, and it's far more profitable to target the most dominant platform."
    Mr. Mogull is a computer security expert. I recommend reading the entire article as it is quite informative.

    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    would keeping the charger plugged in extend battery life?
    It will neither hurt nor improve battery life. The life of the battery is determined by the number of full charge cycles - about 500 is the average life. If you use the computer mostly in a location with access to an AC outlet then you should use the AC adapter rather than run on the battery.

  • Backup and Recovery advice needed

    I have a database which is used for reporting on multiple customers. Data for each customer is provided on a monthly basis. Each montly dataset is stored in its own tablespace.
    For example, customer A's data for Jan, Feb, Mar resides in three separate tablespaces:
    tblspc_a_2010_01
    tblspc_a_2010_02
    tblspc_a_2010_03
    The same is true for all other customers:
    tblspc_x_2010_01
    tblspc_x_2010_02
    tblspc_x_2010_03
    etc.
    I care to only retain three months worth of data. With this way of organizing the data, I can simply drop the tablespaces and datafiles I no longer need.
    The tablespaces need to be in read/write mode.
    Now I'm trying to find the best backup & recovery method for this scenario. I'm thinking about using RMAN to make a compressed backup of each new tablespace as the data arrives, so that in case I need to recover, I can pick and choose which tablespaces to recover. I also want to be able to restore & recover tablespaces to a new database.
    I would like some ideas and suggestions on the best way to go about this.
    Thanks,
    Christoph

    Is all the data in this coming from other sources? That is, is it just a copy of data that is in other databases?
    Assuming "Yes" I would consider breaking it into two pieces:
    1. Data which can be easily and quickly refreshed from other sources.
    2. Data which cannot be easily refreshed.
    Number 1 does not need much in terms of recovery, perhaps a script.
    Number 2 could use RMAN either a cold backup if your service level allows, or archivelog and RMAN so its always available.
    I had a similar issue a while back and since all my data comes from other databases I wrote a complete refresh script. The script takes awhile to write but its in portable making recovery less of an issue. I run a full data pump nightly for an extra option. My script refresh 1 table at a time following this format:
    1. Drop the table
    2. Recreate the table
    3. Add indexes
    4. Add grants
    5. Create or replace synonyms
    next table.
    Another advantage is you can refresh any table at a moments notice, the reporting tables have far fewer columns than the production version to save space.

    Anyway thats the background information, the engineer told me there is a fibre optic cabinet freshly installed 1mile from me. My exchange currently is 4miles from me in pomeroy county tyrone but once this box goes live my internet will come from there instead, affectively ill be 1mile from the exchange then. Doing a bit of research I found out this cabinet goes live 31st july 2010 so do I have to order bt infinity to get a better speed than i have now? I have had no letters no contact nothing, I wouldnt even of known about this fibre optic 40mb service only the engineer came out. In the availability checkers theres no information yet about my phone number, it just says 1mb like what im getting. If someone could let me know how to order the new service or does it be automatically updated on 31st july. I want the new speed asap.
    Another thing since the ip profile has been stuck at 750kbps ive noticed in modern warfare 2 the latency is alot worse, sometimes doesnt find a game until it gets to <110ms. Really annoying. Before using speedtest.net i would get a ping of 53 now I get around 80ms.

    Do i need to wait just for speed to go back up? Been low for a week nearly now. The engineer said there was water on the line or something and thats gone now and I have been synching higher than normal, I usually only sync at 1440 or so, its 1664 atm. And by my reckoning that would be 1.25 i should be getting. Please help.

  • Stratosphere 2 locked on blue screen and froze - advice needed

    My Stratosphere 2 is two weeks old.  Today the screen turned blue and the whole phone froze.  I couldn't turn it off.  I took the battery out.  Should I try to get a new phone?

    Well if you took out the battery, you can try this hold in on the power button for about 20 to 30 sec. with battery pack still out). Return the battery pack to the phone & power it up and see if the Issue is still present if it is and your under the 14 Day return then i would return it for either a replacement of the one you have or a Different Model..
    Now if the problem goes away but re-turns in say a day or two and your still under the 14 Day re-turn i would still way in the Option of getting a re-placement..  But hopefully it straitens itself out..  Good Luck & Welcome to the Forum b33

  • AD590 and 6008: advice needed

    I have to measure an outdoor temperature with a AD590 and a 6008.
    The range that I expected to measure is [263K...313K] in other words
    [-10C..+40C].
    I was thinking to send +5V provided from USB6008 to power AD590 (located
    at about 5 meters from DAQ board), then use an AI (configured as RSE, in
    order to minimize ground loop since AD590 is a NRSE source) with a 10k
    resistor (0,5%), connected from AI+ and GND input, so to have a
    conversion of 10mV/K.
    Is it a good solution?
    Then the voltage range should be 2.63V...3.13V.
    What do you suggest at this point?
    I was thinking a conditioning with an differential amplifier (Av=4.42)
    so to scale 2.63...3.23V to 0...5V and get a better resolution.
    Or you suggest to connect simply the only resistor?
    What do you suggest? Any hint/suggestions is really welcomed.

    Rossi,
    That sounds like a pretty decent approach to me. I would
    probably recommend scaling the measurement to 0-5V in order to take full advantage
    of your DAQs resolution, just keep in mind that resolution isn’t going to be
    the only limiting factor in your measurements accuracy, but also the precision
    of resistor that you use. So I would determine if the precision of the resistor
    is going to be good enough that scaling up to the 5V scale makes sense. If it
    is not, then you may not want to go through the hassle of the extra circuitry to
    scale the signal.

    Hi
    That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
    Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
    I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
    Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
    The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
    Hope that helps
    Paul
    PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
    after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
    You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

  • I need an opinion and/or advice about sending auto mail !!!

    Hi,
    I'm creating a web application using servlets and few HTML files for user interface. What I have already created is Login.html page allowing user to enter username and password and there is a link that takes the user to registration.html page where he/she can register in case he/she is not a registered user already. All this information (user's personal data when registering) gets stored by some servlets to MS Access database. Once registered user he/she can log in and another servlet checks the database for username/pass provided. Once logged in,user is provided with a page that allows him/her to choose date (dropdown menu) and time (checkboxes) and once the user does this this date and time(s) are stored to database again. Now,I have already done this much but what I still need to do is to allow user to select other users from database who he/she wants to meet with-not all users registered (not sure how I'm going to this) and then I need to write a separate servlet that would check database every 2 hours for example and if it finds overlapping meeting time for any group of people it would send an email to all the members of this group informing them about the meeting time and date. What I need from you guys is advice how this could be done, what mail server I should use, what could be a problem, best way to do it...just personal opinions if you have one. I would really appreciate any advice that any of you guys could provide me with. Thanks a lot, Jimmy.

    hey,
    first of all thanks 96472834 for your answer. Now, since I don't really know much (embarassed to say anything) about java mail I would ask you or anyone else willing to answer few more questions. Let's say I do this the way you suggested and I'm one of the people who are supposed to meet. Now, when I get that email, what does it say-where it comes from, what is the email address it comes from. Also, what do you mean by saying "your program should be reusable". How do I accomplish that and what is the purpose of that? Thanks again, Jimmy.

  • Dynamic Forms and Flowing subforms -- Need help/Advice

    Hello All -
    I am creating a form for instructors at our college to complete. It has 3 pages, some static text, some required drop-down boxes, and three "comment" type areas which I would like to create so that they "flow" and display the entire contents when printed.
    I've read everything I could find so far, but I think I am missing something quite basic.
    I've created master pages, with a content subform on each one. I've placed all my content into subforms under that main content subform, named and ordered them the way they need to be. Most of it should appear as positioned. Only where there is one of the comment sections do I want/need the "flow content" option.
    I tried following the directions I found in another thread. If I set the subform with the comment area to flow, then I never get the page break option (and it is needed) - it's always grayed out. When I try to set the underlying subform on the page to 'flow content', ALL of the content from all three pages ends up on one page, everything on top of each other.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Can anyone give me some tips as to where at least to start looking for what I've not done or done wrong?
    Thanks in advance for any information -- it will be soooo appreciated!
    Lauren

    Hi Lauren,
    You only need one Master page, and there's no need to put anything on it unless you want a header/footer that repeats on each page.
    If you want to have things flow from page to page, create one body page object, and set its content type to Flowed (the body page is itself a subform). In it you put subforms with text, fields, and so on in them. Since your form will spill from page to page based on how much text the instructors type into the expandable comments fields, break up the forms content into sections (subforms) such that the layout can break between the subforms without taking away from the readability. These subforms should have a content type of Position. Even though there's only one body page object in your design, since you have three pages worth of stuff, it will spill onto three pages.
    Now for the comments fields, which you want to wrap and expand. Make sure that each of your comments fields is in its own subform. Set the field to allow multiple lines and, in the layout tab, click the box to Expand to Fit (height). For the subform that contains the comments field, set the height to auto-fit (layout tab). Also for the subforms that contain comments fields, experiment with the "Allow Page Breaks Within Content" checkbox on the Subform tab. If you expect an instructor to blab on for more than an entire page of text, you will have to select this box, but otherwise I suggest leaving it unselected so that the entire comment remains together.

  • I have constant K8N Neo2 problems advice needed. (long) Update

    I need some advice on what my problem might be and if I need to RMA the motherboard or power supply.
    I have a new Athlon 64 3500+ processor, MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum BIOS v1.3 motherboard, with 2 512MB DIMMs of Corsair Value Select Memory. I have had and am still having a series of crashes and lock-ups I will list below. FULL SYSTEM SPECS BELOW AT BOTTOM.
    I initially installed the motherboard with a SINGLE 120GB hard drive from the old machine and the installed the memory in memory slots 1 & 2 to try dual channel memory mode. I then formatted the C partition and did a clean install of Windows XP Professional with SP2, installed the MSI drivers on the installation CD that came with the motherboard (Nvidia nForce3 Version 5.03 System Drivers, Realtek gigabit ethernet driver, Realtek AC97 audio driver) & the GeForce v66.93 video driver. I then got my first blue screen "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" crash, I ignored this crash and rebooted. I shortly got a black screen crash which I also ignored.
    I then installed a new 200GB hard drive and a old 120GB so I could transfer the data from the old 120GB to the new 200GB drive. The data transfer went fine. As I was preparing to install some applications I then got my second blue screen "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" crash. Suspecting the Corsair Value Select Memory could not handle dual channel I ran Memtest-86 for 2 passes and got NO errors with the memory in dual channel mode, so I left it.
    With my data backed up on the 200GB new drive I removed the new 200GB and the second 120GB hard did another clean install of Windows XP Professional with SP2, this time with Nvidia’s nForce3 Version 5.10 system drivers, the Realtek gigabit ethernet driver and Realtek AC97 audio driver  from the motherboard installation CD & the GeForce v66.93 video driver. I downloaded the latest version of Core Center and installed it and got it working. CPU temperatures were showing a low of around 29C, average of about 44C, and spikes at full loads of about 55-57C. I then ran Ghost to back up the boot partition. I installed all my applications, reinstalled the 200GB and 120 GB hard drives moved some data around with no crashes.
    I then installed Rome Total War and played for about 2 hours and had one black screen crash after the reboot played for 4 more hours with no problems so I shut down and went to bed.
    In the morning I got up started the computer let it run for awhile the CPU temperatures were in the low 30Cs to low 40Cs I tried to copy some files from the D partition to desktop and the screen freezes I waited about 5 min. with no change and no drive light activity so I hit the reset button. Upon reboot I got a ‘no system disk found” error, I went into the BIOS and checked the drive set-ups and boot priority, everything was correct. I tried for a half hour to get the system to boot with on luck. I used the Ghost to restore the partition image I had made earlier and still no boot. I finally decided to reinstall XP again put in the installation CD and when I got to the screen where you decide where to install Windows I changed my mind quit and bingo the machine boots into the restored Ghost partition???? I started to reinstall my applications got one more blue screen"MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" crash and another screen freeze that I had to reset.
    So I decided to start from real scratch I removed the new 200GB and the second 120GB hard drive ran Killdisk on the boot drive, made a new clean 20GB C partition and did another clean install of Windows XP Professional with SP2, this time with Nvidia’s nForce3 Version 5.10 system drivers, the Realtek gigabit ethernet driver and Realtek AC97 audio driver from the motherboard installation CD & the GeForce v66.93 video driver. I installed the latest version of Core Center and installed it and got it working. CPU temps were as before.
    I tested the memory with Memtest-86 again 2 passes no errors. Just in case I then moved one of the memory DIMMs to memory slot 3 out of dual channel mode and to a slower speed and ran Memtest-86 for about 20 hours with 21 passes with no memory errors, so I think memory can be ruled out as the problem.
    Next I installed my applications I got one screen freeze that I had to reset. I reinstalled the other 200GB and 120GB hard drives. After I got all my applications install and Ghosted the boot partition. I have had one more one screen freeze that I had to reset.
    I have a problem I simply cannot figure out. The memory is obliviously fine. While I have seen CPU temperatures spikes as high as 57C the CPU temps as reported by Core Center averages in the high 30Cs or low 40Cs and most of crashes/lock-ups don’t seem to occur during high CPU load/temp. The power supply might be a little light for the system but many of the crashes have occurred with only one hard drive in the system. The fact after one for the lock-ups the system would not boot for awhile and then magically just booted gives me concern there might be a motherboard problem.
    Any solution ideas would be appreciated. Should I RMA the power supply, the motherboard, or both.

    I then installed Rome Total War and played for about 2 hours and had one black screen crash
    Great isn't it (although not without the occasional crash)
    Would you say it's better but not there yet ? or the same ?
    I thought the same as Ibn Quote
    Your PS unit is a little weak for that much hardware, but I doubt thats your problem as well
    re your PSU, given youv'e got a less hungry Graphic Card, thought it was at worse marginal, have seen worse.
    To investigate further it may be worth diconnecting one of your HD, maybe the 200gb for a time.
    It's a small thing but it may be slightly better to have both your maxtors together on IDE channel 1, given their identical.
    good luck - keeo us posted

  • Advice needed: Efficient way to scan users

    Hi all,
    I wish to know the efficient way to scan users in Lighthouse. I need to write a workflow that checkout all the users and perform some updates. This workflow should run everyday at midnight.
    I have created a scanner myself. Basically what It did are:
    1. call FormUtils.getUsers method to return all users' name into a variable.
    2. loop through this list and call a subprocess workflow to process every user. This subprocess checks out a user view, performs updates, and then checks in view.
    This solution is not efficient at all since it causes my JVM to be Out of Memory. (1G RAM assigned to JVM with about 78,000 users)
    Any advice is highly appreciated. Thank you.
    Steve

    Ok...I know understand what you are doing and why you need this.
    A long, long, long time ago (back in 3.x days) the deferred task scanner was really bad. Its nightly scan would scan ALL users each time. This is fine when your client had 4k users...but not when it has 140k users.
    Additionally, the "set deferred task" function had problems with two tasks with the same name "i.e. disable resource" since it used the name as the xml object name which can not be duplicated.
    soooo, to beat this I rewrote the deferred task handler to allow me to do all of this. Part of this was to add a searchable field called 'nextTaskDate' on the user object. After each workflow this 'date" is updated so it is always correctly populated with the users "next deferred task date"
    each night the scanner runs and querys all users with a nextTaskDate of today. This then gives us a result set that we can iterate over instead of having to list each user and search for tasks. It's a billion times faster.
    Your best bet is to store the task date in miliseconds and make your query a "all users with next task date BEFORE now"...this way if the server is hosed you can execute tasks you may have missed.
    We have an entire re-usable implmentation framework that we have patented (of which this code is a part) that answers most of these types of issues you are bringing up. It makes these implementations much much simpler, faster, scalable and maintainable.
    this make sense?

  • Advice Needed - Events that span multiple years?

    Just wanted some advice from others if this makes sense. I was originally thinking a setting up Events for only one year but does it make more sense to say have a Event called Birtday Parties and have all my kids birthday parties pics for all the years in that one event and then have smart albumns to show current year/4-5 star rated pics and maybe one smart albumn that does the same but across all years. How do others arrange their events.

    Craig7535:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you might want to look into is using a Smart Album to group all the photos of a specific annual event. The criteria would be Date = xx/xx/07 AND date = xx/xx/06, etc. That would group all the photos on that month and date for each year added. Now if some of the photos have a different date you can change it within iPhoto so they would be picked up by that smart album.
    You could create an Event for that but would have to manually find and drag the appropriate files into that even.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • ADVICE needed - FCPX projects -- FCP7 workflow (not X27)

    Hey all,
    I need some sage advice.
    I have been working on a huge project for over a year now on location in Bosnia.
    All footage has been shot on the 5D mrk3 and c300 cameras.
    My FCPX Workflow
    While on location I was importing / organizing / syncing / labeling and adding subtitles into FCPX.
    - I have each camera in it's own event and project.
    - I have the video synced (using Plural Eyes) with the Zoom audio files.
    - I have added subtitles from my translator using Annotation edit.
    - I have then used the TimeCode generator to give the entire sync'ed, subbed "master timeline" a consistent reference throughout and so I always know exactly where that clip lives in the "master timeline" once I start editing.
    - Lastly I have added the "file name" using the Text "right" generator in FCPX so I always know what day it is.
    I would then create a separate compound clip for all the video from that day, the external audio, and the subtitles. (so that is 3 Compound clips. (see pics below)
    Add the TimeCode and right text generators...
    Select all and make it all a C. Clip... I did this so nothing would shift.. the Subs would be in sync and the timecode would always be the same no matter how and where the footage was used....
    My Question / Challenge
    OK so now my producers have found an editor and this editor needs to edit this project in FCP 7.
    I am in Chicago they are in Berlin... I will join them in Berlin but want to do as much prep work in the 1.5 months leading up to my travel date here in Chicago.
    They have all the footage and FCPX projects and events and now need to get them into FCP 7
    the app X to 7 does not import FCPX generators and has some quirks importing text (I am not sure how it will handle my subs as we are just beginning the import / converting process)
    What I don't want is to loose all the good work that I have done on my end to be organized and I absolutely NEED the subtitles included with the sync'd footage.
    Does anyone have any advice and / or know where I can turn to figure out what to do in this situation?
    the viewer with subs, timecode, and file stamp
    the timeline broken apart
    the timeline as compound clips

    @ Russ H
    Yeah I thought of that too...
    Just using the flatened verssion as a reference file that can be enabled and disapbled as necessary hoever like you pointed out that is "not ideal" AND would actually be pretty time consuming as I am dealing with
    45 Days of footage totalling 200+ hours...
    So it actually takes about an hour to render and export each 3-4 hour days of flattened footage.
    But that may be the best soltuion of the not so great options I have in front of me...
    @Meg The Dog
    Thanks, and yes I will be doing all of that sans the assistant editor.
    One of the largest issues is that I am not a FCPX expert so I can't do that...
    AND the budget is a bit tight to hire a second editor for this job PLUS it is in Berlin (I am in Chicago)
    So while I will be there for the editing process the lead / post time is going to be pretty tight and I need to make sure that all the footage is online, sync'd, subbed and ready to go once I step off the plane.
    I agree that in an ideal situation your suggestion would be best if the budget allowed for it...
