Computed Actor and Approver - quick question

Just wondering whether 'Computer Actor' and 'Approver' always points to the same persons?
If I would set a group as 'approver' in my approval WF it still comes up as a person (or persons) in both fields in request details.
Does 'Computer Actor' field mean that MS is planning to have an Approval Delegation scheme in FIM in a future?
the only thing I really miss in FIM now is delegation... It would be nice to have 'approve on behalf', delegation of rights for users on vacations and so on...

(...) the only thing I really miss in FIM now is delegation... It would be nice to have 'approve on behalf', delegation
of rights for users on vacations and so on... (...)
I know that this is standard answer and not very helpful but ... - that kind of functionality can be achieved with custom workflow activities. I used this approach few times. Calculate approves in
approval workflow with respecting delegation settings on users (mostly additional reference on a user where person who is substitute is pointed out).
Not out of the box, probably not perfect, but in many cases this approach is good enough.

Fixed and 2 quick questions (bios thread)

Hi Everyone, i need your help again...
[....]. since i installed Win2k3 on my system i was getting stability problems, especially lockups to black screen in games. On Win2k3 i was using the exact same drivers as I am going to list soon, and so I thought I'd install Windows XP again on a spare hard drive to see if this helped. I wish i'd never messed with my system my previous XP install was almost 100% stable, but that's another story.
Today I perfomed these steps in this order:
1)Downloaded SP1a
2)formatted new hard drive
3)Booted from CD, did a Windows XP Pro install
4)Started XP Pro, installed SP1a
5)Installed Nforce system drivers and Display Drivers 29.42 (these were very good to me before...) and restarted
6)Installed Speedtouch USB ADSL Drivers 2.0.1.2 and went online
6.5)Enabled Hardware Acceleration on Displayt Properties
6.7) Installed direct x 9.0a web setup.
7)Did full windows update: all the critical stuff, most of the recommended (except MEssanger, Media Player and a couple others) and the CPU driver (left my Gfx and Sound on the above)
8) After a restart started a game
It lasted all of 10 seconds once I started playing.
Ok, maybe 5 seconds. Smae as Win2k3!!! I was running bios default performance options, with APIC off... so I ran Prime 95 for a while, got no errors .... about to try a memtest86 but I'm pretty cetrain the memory is good never had trouble with it before at all and I've tested it before too.
Can someone help me out? Here's my hardware config
[size=11]
AMD XP 1900+ (no overclock any more)
MSI K7N420D MB
2*512MB DDR266 Samsung 'Transcend' Memory (unbranded really) (16 chip DIMMs)
Geforce 2 MX400 32MB SDRAM (unbranded - runs a little faster then onboard graphics)
Adaptec 29160LP Scsi Card
IBM 16000rpm 32GB SCSI Disk (UW-2)
2*WD1000BB 100GB Western Digital IDE Drives (the normal ones with 2mb cache) in Software Raid - 0 on Promise card
18GB Maxtor ATA66 IDE hd on Nforce, with CDR.
a Promise Ultra TX100 Dual IDE Controller card (for CD Rom + expansion)
Enermax 431w PSU / 7200rpm fan on heavy HS.
Windows XP SP1 / DX 9.0a (going to reformat to Win2003)
[/SIZE]
I could really do with anyone's working driver config for a windows XP sp1a system, and how to build it from the bottom up. If a given driver config that works 100% for others fails for me I can start hardware troubleshooting and cursing loudly, otherwise with any luck it'll fix my problem.... please help me out i know there are people out there still running NForce 1 boards!
Quick question that could help: what sound driver revision from windows update should i be using? I can get the archived ones....
Thanks,
Naveen.
PS If i manage to fix it i'll update here, but i need a hand plz

.... also, I have the same errors running the same game from Win2k3 on a SCSI drive through the PCI bus (adaptec 29160) on the 2.7 bios. It looks like there is still an issue with fast PCI bus read/writes, sound usage and AGP card usage causing crashes. Discounting the OS change and APIC, I have these scenarios:
1) Game running off IDE drive on Nforce IDE ports: fine
2) Running of IDE drives on promise controller card: fails, locks.
3) Running off scsi drive on Adaptec 29160 card: fails, game locks.
So we may still have an issue with PCI read/writes and stability on bios 2.7 and Nforce system drivers 2.03 ... which is big news really.
I hope one of the moderators can put MSI in the picture and get them or NVidia to look into this. I can try eliminating APIC and the OS/Drivers from the issue, and install the game on all 3 drive configurations to confirm the above if necessary, but it's what it looks like from here. Using Performance bios defaults with no overclock, underclocking didnt help.
Perhaps bios 2.4 will fix this in which case the bios still needs work, 2 years on.

Product updates for iweb 06, and a quick question

I have recently purchased iweb 08 and found that my customers cannot access the website properly and are having issues with IE and freezing - never had this problem with o6 so I'm going back to it.
I've re-installed my Iweb06 from the original disks, just wondered how I can get the latest version of 06, as each time I click check for updates it asks me if I want to upgrade to Iweb08
the other question is this, I know I was able to click duplicate site or page, on Iweb 06 but cannot seem to do this with the version 1.0.0 is this is a later update
I get the same with iphoto, which I've also got back to, as again having issues with accessign photos uploaded

you can also use Lostify to do more advanced tag editing... like add MPAA ratings, etc... just be aware that it takes a long time to process a video file. first time i used it, i thought the app was crashing, turns out it actually has to read and write the whole file over again.

Projects and Albums: quick question...

So, I have some "projects" that I want to delete. But first, I want to move the images to another "album" or whatever.
So, I drag all of images from one project to another album.
But then, when I click delete on the actual project, I get a dialog box telling me that the master images are going to be deleted. Sure enough... the images are gone. Not catastrophic, I got them back in.
But I am trying to figure out how to do this. Must be missing some simple function.
How do you move images OUT of a project, and then delete that project without losing the images that you've moved out? What am I missing?

<...>
Another option (if your albums are all inside projects) is to export the project the albums are in and then re-import - when you export a project that has albums with pictures from other projects, all of the files (master files and versions from stacks) that you had put in that album will be copied into the exported project and thus return when you re-import that project.
If you don't have the albums you want inside a project, you can just create a new project and move your albums inside of it.
It is probably safer though just to move the files into a new project so you don't miss anything! I wanted to give you another option though in case that was too annoying.

Two quick questions about Library after moving beginning on a new computer

Hi there,
I just moved from Windows to Mac, meaning I had to move my iTunes library from the old PC to my new MBA.
Just a couple of quick questions.
1. When I started iTunes on my new Mac, in the preferences I directed the media folder to the folder with all my itunes music/podcasts etc, and then I imported the Library XML file. Is this incorrect? Should I have imported a different file? Should I have used the itl file instead?
If so, should I delete the library and start again? (if this is the case, please suggest the best way of doing this without affecting my media)
- a kind of sub-question to this one: some of the media files arent showing up in the iTunes library, but they are in the media folder on the ext HDD. Is there a way I can find out which ones havent been recognized by iTunes? Whats the best way of getting them in to my library?
2. Pretty much half of my podcasts have not been loaded in the new iTunes. The ones that havent were ones that I subscribed to on my iPhone, whereas the ones that show up in iTunes were ones I downloaded from iTunes. When I connect my iPhone and sync it with iTunes, will those podcasts show up in iTunes? Or is there a risk that they will be deleted from my iPhone?
Cheers,

The .xml is lacking some information such as ratings, date added, and play count. Using the .itl includes this information but cannot be imported using the method you did.
A complete library is everything in the iTunes folder. By using the method you did you left the artwork behind in the artwork folder on the other machine.
Selecting the media folder in preferences does not get iTunes to recognize the media. All it does is tell iTunes to start storing new media in that location.
Using the method I outlined nothing will be missed (with the exception of WMA) because you aren't rebuilding your library, you are using the one that already exists.
You don't have to re-copy everything as long as you get the stuff you missed and re-assemble it all as it was before except not on the Mac.

A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

Hello ,
I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3 for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
- I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
Thanks Ubergeeks,
Guy

Hi Guy
You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform

Quick Question: When to use ( ) and when to use [ ] and why the ( *)

Hi all,
A quick question that i'm sure is very simple but is slightly confusing me. I've just started trying to learn Objective-C and am a little confused by ( ) and [ ].
I get that you use the [ ] brackets when you want something specific from an object, i.e.
[ textField textColor ]
and that you use ( ) brackets for things like:
if ( x == y) {
But I get confused when I see things like:
NSLog(@"some text here");
Why does that get ( ) brackets and why is it not [ ].
Also another point of confusion, creating methods... Why are some methods done like:
- (void)awakeFromNib
And others done like (with the additional "*" added):
- (NSString *)stringvalue
As I said, I'm sure this is very simple and obvious, but it is confusing me slightly.
Thanks in advance!

Adam:
As you already know, square brackets are used to send a message to an object, so if a object like myObject implements the method -doSomething, you can call it with:
\[myObject doSomething\];
The other use square for brackets have is to index C-style arrays, such as:
aValue = anArray\[10\]; // Get the 10-element of an array
However, because C-style arrays are rarely used in Cocoa applications (use NSArray instead) you will not see this situation often.
Parenthesis in expressions are used to group and prioritize, such as:
x = 10 * (3 + 5); // x = 80
If () statements use it to delimit the test expression. Same with while (). for () uses it to enclose the limits and increment statements, etc.
The other important use of parenthesis is in calling a C function:
result = foo(3);
means that you are calling the function named foo with the argument 3, and storing the the return value in the variable 'result'. This is different from a message because a C function is not a method of an object. They exist independently of any objects. NSLog() is a function defined within Cocoa but it is not a method. So, you call it with the traditional C function call syntax. Cocoa defines other functions like NSStringFromRect(), which takes an NSRect as argument and returns a pointer to an NSString.
And that leads me to your last question. Some methods return simple types, like int, float, or void (i.e. returns no value). These methods will have prototypes like:
\- \(void\)returnNothing;
\- (int)returnInteger;
Other methods return pointers to types, like:
\- (int \*)returnPointerToInteger;
\- (void \*)returnPointerToAnything; // In obj-C one typically uses id instead of void*
Returning whole objects from methods has problems and it is better to just return a pointer (the address in memory) instead:
\- (NSString *)makeAString;
The method above returns a pointer to an NSString rather than the entire object.
Good luck with your learning,
Juan-Pablo

Quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation.

Hi all,
I have a quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation for FT, NFS, ISCSI, VM traffic etc. I get that its best practice to try and separate traffic where you can and especially for things like FT however I just wondered if there was a preferred method to achieving this. What I mean is ...
- Is it OK to have everything on one switch but set each respective portgroup to having a primary and failover NIC i.e FT, ISCSI and all the others failover (this would sort of give you a backup in situations where you have limited physical NICs.
- Or should I always aim to separate things entirely with their own respective NICs and their own respective switches?
During the VCAP exam for example (not knowing in advance how many physical NIC's will be available to me) how would I know which stuff I should segregate on its own separate switch? Is there some sort of ranking order of priority /importance? FT for example I would rather not stick on its own dedicated switch if I could only afford to give it a single NICs since this to me seems like a failover risk.

I know the answer to this probably depends on however many physical NICs you have at your disposal however I wondered if there are any golden 100% rules for example FT must absolutely be on its own switch with its own NICs even at the expence of reduced resiliency should the absolute worst happen? Obviously I know its also best practice to seperate NICs by vender and hosts by chassis and switch etc

Quick Question about Cisco 3560 and the Web Device Manager

Alright, I have a quick question that I am curious about but I haven't found any information
about it.
When I log into my Cisco 3560 using the web portal to get to the Device Manager. Below the
diagram of the switch, then under the Dashboard there is section called Switch
Health, Port Utilization.
Under the Switch Health there is Bandwidth Used, Packet Error. Those two options just sit
at zero and do not move. The Port tilization graph is also sitting at zero.
Is there a way to make them functional?

Anyone notice performance increase or decrease of their HD when using the nVidia IDE SW drivers? particularly with a 74GB Raptor? I've also heard of burner issues when installing the IDE SW but have not used my burner yet.

IMovie - quick questions about video files when importing and optimizing

Hi, have some quick questions. I think they are simple.
1. When I import a video (from say iPhoto), where does it get "Move" or "Copy" to?
2. Why would I want to do "Copy" instead of "Move", because isn't it then taking up more space?
3. I'm wondering if after I optimize a video, I can stash away the original (non-optimized video that I either "Move"d or "Copy"d earlier) into an external hd.
4. By the way, what is the new file name of the optimized video?
Though things are working fine in iMovie and iPhoto, I'm trying to manage hard disk space, and hope answers to these questions will help.
Do you guys have a guideline on how to manage hard disk space when it comes to iphoto and imovie?
Thanks.

As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
You can also present your songs like this...
http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

Quick Question: MobileMe and Info Tab in iTunes

What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle?

What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle? It's a old imac from 1997.

I don't have original discs that it came with.
Then you still can use the second option with the keyboard combo I posted, called "resetting the PRAM."
Also when you way hold the c key down do you mean turn computer off and turn back on holding the c key?
Yes, or you can simply restart. As you don't have the CDs, this isn't on the plate any more.
The internal backup battery is not expensive and, in most iMacs is user-replacable. If yours has a tray-loading optical drive like this one:
it takes a major teardown to replace the internal battery. If this is the case, you'd be better off to leave the computer plugged in all the time; that eliminates the main reason for having a working battery.
If it has a slot-loading optical drive like this one:
things are much easier. The battery is visible through the RAM access door on the bottom of the computer case. The manual:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iMacG3_2000UserManual.PDF
has sketches of how to access the RAM and therefore the backup battery. Unfortunately, the pdf on the manual goes up sideways on-screen and the RAM instructions are pretty deep into the manual. It's probably easier to scroll (for a while) to the section on adding RAM and print the applicable pages.
When you work on the battery, some sort of non-conductive pliers or large tweezer or forceps help unless you have tiny fingers. Make sure to note the polarity of the old battery and install the new one in the same orientation.
The battery itself is readily available. If price is no oblect, you can get it for a small rasom from Radio Shack Store ("Tandy" outside the US) as part number 23-026.
Online, they are dirt-cheap even after adding shipping. I buy backup batteries form this outfit:

Hi. Quick question I am working with Panasonic GH3 footage and it is playing back in slow motion?

Hi. Quick question I am working with Panasonic GH3 footage shot using .MOV wrapper with their IPB 50mbps and All-Intra 72MBPS codecs and they are playing back in slow motion in Sg CC. The footage works fine in PP CC and I have no clue on how to fix it. Is this a bug or do I a have a setting wrong some place?

Yes it turns red this is silly PP and AE have no problem with playback for these codecs. So it is indeed Sg not handling the codec correctly and not my system?
What if I transcoded it to something else other than the previous what would you reccommend?
I was going to transcode to ProRes but 5DtoRGB does not work on Windows with GH3 codecs.
What is the correct time warp seting under clip properties? I screwed with it and forgot the default setting.
Is there a way to reset Sg back to defaults settings globaly. I tried to many settings trying to fix the playback and may have left something in the wrong state.
Thanks...
