Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly Backups & Tapes Pooling

We are running number of servers, and have recently migrated from HP Data Protector to System Center DPM 2012 SP1. I am facing two issues here in which the potential solution is requested. I have created one Protection Group with 1 week retention for Daily
Backup. Different selections or sources are part of this protection group from different servers.
1. The issue # 1, is that when I wanted to create more Protection Groups for Weekly, Monthly and Yearly Tape Backups, then I could not select those volumes which are already part of Protection Group that I created for the Daily Backup (probably due to the
reason that same data source can't be part of multiple protection groups). The data source selection will repeat in all protection groups, so please advise how can I achieve daily, weekly, monthly and yearly backups?
2. Can I restrict some specific tapes (by allocating through bar codes) to each protection group so that only specific tapes will be used for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly backup? This way the offsite tape movement will also be achieved.
Need solution on both issues. Please help.

Hi,
For item 1. use following PG settings.
1) In the protection group, select short term tape and long term protection.
2) Select daily, only full backup, or Full plus incremental based on your needs.
3) For the long term goals, select weekly, monthly, and yearly.
For item 2. - there is no provision in DPM to specify certain tapes for each goal, but if you create a colocation PGset, you can specify how long to write to a tape and control if different goals use the same tapes or not by adjusting expiry tolerance.

What do you use to manage daily\weekly\monthly tasks?

I use Tasks (a clone of Astrid based on the source code) on Android which is synced to Google Tasks. Haven't really ever found anything that's a real replacement to Astrid since Yahoo killed it for no reason.

Hey guys, just wanted to see what you guys use to manage your tasks on a daily\weekly\monthly\quarterly\yearly basis?We are currently using a product called VIP Task Manager Professional and we really love it. Ithttp://www.taskmanagementsoft.com/products/taskmanagerpro/It is pretty inexpensive and customizable. They offer a full-featured 30-day trial version of VIP Task Manager and there is a Standard edition as well.All the tasks have the ability to be assigned to the whole team or an individual member and can have notes, comments and even documentation attached to the task.There is a calendar feature, it has recurring tasks and you can set up different views too - daily - weekly - all tasks.BTW, our Operations team started using it 10 months ago and we have been using it for about 3 months. Operations just passed an audit with flying...

Disconnected Slicer in PowerView - Hour | Day | Week | Month | Year | Max

I want to create a Power View chart in Power BI with the Minute/Hour/Day/Week/Month/Year filters:
Workbook can be downloaded at:https://www.dropbox.com/s/r00btg5zb8snohz/Disconnected%20Slicer%20Demo.xlsx?dl=0
when MINUTE is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing the last 60 seconds (from current time) with 5 or 10 seconds interval.
when Hour is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing the last 60 minutes (from current time) with 5 minutes interval.
ex: 10:00AM 10:05AM 10:10AM ...................................11:00AM
when DAY is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing last 24 hours (12AM to 11:59PM with 1 hour interval)
when WEEK is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing the last 7 days from current datetime stamp with 1 day interval.
when MONTH is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing the 30 days from current datetime stamp with 1 day interval
when YEAR is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing the last 12 months from current day with 1 month interval
It would be great if the PowerView chart can be made to look something like this:
shown in the below link:
When '5 Day' is selected the values in the Y axis and X axis change automatically.

Hi Manjunath,
Currently looking into a possible solution although some of the limitations within Power View restrict how close we can get to the ideal result. Still exploring some approaches :)

Daily/weekly/monthly production reports

Hi Experts,
IMy client needs daily/weekly/monthly production reports with graphical representation. I want to know in acase there are any standard reports which will be a work around solution for the above said reports.
Thanks

Hi nandi6346,
Yes, COOIS : Order informaton system, it self gives graphical representation for production reports.
Go to COOIS - execute as per required date, to get grafical representation select the coloumns you required, e.g. Production order, target qty, Confirmed Qty, Delivered Qty, Scrap Qty, etc and the click on "Display Grafic" tab, it will show you grafical report.

How can i re-automate/re-enable the daily, weekly, & monthly 'tasks'

some time ago i was having trouble burning a home video with imovie. one of the suggested remedies was to disable the overnight cleaning up tasks, which i did. however, i'd now like to reset this so that these tasks are once again automated whilst i sleep (currently using MacJanitor).
but i cannot for the life of me work out how to do this. please help.

Open the application TextEdit. Under the TextEdit menu open the Preferences. Under the heading New Document Atributes select the Plain text radio button. Under the heading Default Plain Text Encodings select Unicode(UTF-8) in the drop down menu by Save:. Under the heading Saving check the box Overwrite read-only files. Put TextEdit into your Dock.
From the Finder > Go menu select Go to Folder... Type /etc in the dialog box and press return. Locate the file- crontab. Drag the file onto the TextEdit icon in your Dock. The file should open. Your crontab file probably looks like this:
# /etc/crontab
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
HOME=/var/log
#minute hour mday month wday who command
#*/5 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun
# Run daily/weekly/monthly jobs.
#15 3 * * * root periodic daily
#30 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly
#30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly
You need to remove the # on the following three lines.
#15 3 * * * root periodic daily
#30 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly
#30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly
Save the file and you should be good to go.

How do I schedule regular daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly data uploads?

Hello gurus!
How do I schedule regular daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly data uploads? How can I make it "automatic"?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
There are lots of documents available on how to design a process chain. It is basically your requirement what is needed.
for eg.. You have a daily masterd ata loaded into BW from R/3 and then the transaction data. So we create a chain where in we create anothe meta chain (for Master data) and drag the option of Load IP ( give variant as ur IP name you have created for that Particluar master data) , same for texts and hierarchy, for hierarchy use save option after the hierarchy process. and then use a attribute change run proces step to activate the master data. and then create another meta chain that loads transactiond data. Normally you have a IP that loads data into ODS here from source system, so Use IP process for that , next a process step to activate the ODS data and then use another IP to send the data to a cube. If you have aggregates built on that cube, use roll up process to roll up the data.
If you can gimme your mail ID , I can send some docu's on process chains

Hi,
create 4 formulas for day, week, Month and year
for ex, in Day formula
IF Date Field = CurrentDate then 1 else 0... similarly for other ranges. Create a Group based on employee, and insert a SUM summary field of these formulas in Group header.
Hope this will help you.

Sending mail to root summarizing results of daily/weekly/monthly?

I would like to modify the daily, weekly, and monthly scripts so that I get an email notification that the jobs ran, and what they did. I added two cron jobs to my crontab file (I use cron, not launchd, should it make a difference) and they send an email to root saying that they ran and did their thing (I have postfix enabled on my Mac so I can get these emails as Postfix redirects them to the admin user's mail account).
The two added crontab entries are
54 01 * * 7 root diskutil secureErase freespace 1 /
and
48 02 * * 6 root diskutil repairPermissions /
so, apparently, diskutil can send me a summary/results email.
But daily, weekly, and monthly aren't doing that. I think it would be nice to get an email parroting all of the "echo" lines in each of the scripts to an email, or somehow summarizing the progress/results of those scripts having run into an email, and sending it to root.
Anybody out there know how to do something like that?
Thanx in advance

This works for me when I run the periodic command from the Terminal window: create a file in "etc" called "periodic.conf". In that file put:
daily_output="email@address"
weekly_output="email@address"
monthly_output="email@address"I used a full email address, but you can try just "root" or a user name and see if it works.
This setting then overrides the default settings in "/etc/defaults/periodic.conf", BTW. Oh, and they won't be logged in "/var/log/*.out" any more either.

Not Been Able To Run Daily/Weekly/,Monthly Scripts

I was running Onyx as usual and was surprised that it would freeze whenever running the "scripts" option. I then downloaded a trial version of Cocktail after uninstalling Onyx and my macbook got stuck again at the weekly scripts. Then I installed a new version of Onyx and again the application stopped responding! I tried via Terminal too but there was no indication that something is happening. I am using the latest version of Tiger.
I dont understand why something like this is happening. Should I be worried? Also I think my macbook has become a little slower and even Mail takes forever to open!

Hello,
Sometimes the weekly scripts take more than 10 minutes to run, with absolutely no feedback whatsoever. (I think weekly takes the longest time of the 3 types.) Did you get the grey screen of death, or just assume it was freezing since nothing was happening? If you force quit a weekly job, it takes slightly longer the next time you run it. My advice is to run weekly, go get lunch, and come back and see if it is done.

How can we get Apple to do a better job on iCal? Now we can't even specify snooze times. Please give us the flexibility we need--minute, hour, day, week, month, year alerts that we can set for each event we add to our calendar.

I'm liking Mountain Lion a lot so far, except for the new iCal performance. iCal has never been as good as the MS Office calendar, not even as good looking much less flexible and, for me at least, a lot less intuitive. And that points to another big problem Apple's increasing totalitarianism has created: I would change back to the MS Office calendar in a micro-second if it weren't for the fact that Apple has never created a way for us to coordinate our iPhones with the Office calendar. My life with Apple goes back to the birth of the Mac and it at once gives me chuckles and fits of righteous indignation that for decades Apple criticized (and sued) Microsoft for its attempts to channel users of its products to other MS products by making 'third party' products not work well with MS software. There's a lot of truth to the idea that Apple is becoming a bully in its steady insistence on giving us fewer and fewer ways of putting together software and hardware sets that we think are the best for us. Whatever happened to Apple's free spirit!?!?!?!?
I can do all the whinging above because Apple has always built exceptional products and because even now its service performance is fifty times as good as any other company I do business with. If you doubt that, just try to get any kind of support from Microsoft.

No point in whinging here, we are all just users. Use Apple feedback.

HT2513 Unable to change the view on the day, week, month, & year tabs

When I click on the tabs in the iCal window on my iMac, there is no response. It works properly in iCloud.

Sometime over the weekend, it started working. I think it was a conflic between my previous gmail calendar set up, which was also syncing with Outlook at my office. I turned disabled the gmail account on my iphone and stopped the google calendar sync on Outlook.
Now calendar, contacts, and email are all synced up just fine. I have my iphone, my imac, and Outlook on my pc at work all talking to each other without conflict . . . finally!

Calender:Obtaining days/weeks/months between a start & end Calendar range

I have a startDate and endDate of Calendar type. From this start and end calendar values I want to obtain all the days/weeks/months.
Eg
Calendar beginDate; // is 14-Oct-2006
Calendar endDate; // is 20-Mar-2007
If I am looking at the months between the two calendar values, I want to be able to know that
[1] there are 6 months
[2] The months are Oct 2006, Nov 2006... Mar 2007 (across years i.e. 2006 and 2007 as well)
I want to be able to have a generic solution to do this at the days and weeks level as well.
Really appreciate all help.
Thanks,

I was able to come up with a solution, if any better is known, please suggest:
Summary of what I did:
[1] First formated the end and start Calendar dates using SimpleDateFormat, and brought it to the 'MMM yyyy' structure, so that I have a common base to compare on
[2] depending on condition, I increment the month and copy the result into an ArrayList that I need for use later.
Snippet of the code is here:
SimpleDateFormat monthYear    = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM yyyy");
ArrayList<String> MonthInDateRange = new ArrayList<String>();
Calendar calTempDate, calStartDate, calEndDate, calCurrentDate;
String StartDateFormat, EndDateFormat;
TempDateFormat = StartDateFormat;
StartDateFormat = monthYear.format(calStartDate.getTime());
EndDateFormat = monthYear.format(calEndDate.getTime());
MonthInDateRange.add(StartFormat); // Starting Month
calCurrentDate = calStartDate;
while ( !(TempDAteFormat.equalsIgnoreCase(EndDateFormat)) ) {
            calCurrentDate.add(calCurrentDate.MONTH, +1);
            TempFormat = monthYear.format(calCurrentDate.getTime());
            MonthInDateRange.add(TempFormat);
Would like to know whether any of you have used a function in Calendar that can help me acheive the same thing, but in a more efficient manner. As I am looking for something generic that I can use at different levels daily,weekly, monthly (currently what I solved above), etc.
Thanks,
