Decision help for lab / school

I have a small school. We are are all on 10.6.8. Classrooms, admin/teacher offices and a student Lab are the three primary groups within our org.
I currently only use general logons for students - via class. ie, Grade6 - all grade6 students log on at the same time with same logon. this works for most things, but not for some things. I want to move to individual logons for the students. but, I have to consider the rest of the network, and advantages and disadvantages of this...
Should I setup a second OD server just for the lab / students?
What are some advantages and disadvantes of putting the kids on the same OD as the the rest of the school / separating them?

Here are some thoughts on that. Some advantages of a 2nd server would be to balance the workload between servers for AFP and other services. Criteria to consider here would be the number and types of services you have running on your servers. Another consideration would be your network infrastructure. I believe a single OS X server is capable of handling 175 simultaneously logged in users. How efficiently it can do this depends upon the type of work being done and how big the files that are being moved around might be. If your switching at gigabit throughout the network, with gig nics in most of the workstations, it should be fine. However YMMV. Another minor consideration woud be security for staff and admins. Good passwords for staff here should handle that consideration in your environment. If your single OD server is efficiently handling the load which you are putting it under now, I would think that there would be no need for a 2nd OD server.

Need help for a school project

I am new to Oracle/Sql and the last part of my project requires that I use a Stored Procedure to access info from an AUTHORS table. I have followed the guidelines in the assignment but for some reason the Stored procedure is not working. If someone could help I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks.
public void fillSet(string key)
if (connect())
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT TO_CHAR(SALES.ORD_DATE), SALES.QTY, SALES.TITLE_ID, TITLES.TITLE, TITLES. PRICE FROM SALES, TITLES WHERE SALES.TITLE_ID = TITLES.TITLE_ID AND SALES.STOR_ID = :key";
parm = new OracleParameter("key", key);
cmd.Parameters.Add(parm);
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
ORDER_DATE = (string)reader.GetString(0);
QUANTITY = (int)reader.GetDecimal(1);
TITLE_ID = (string)reader.GetString(2);
TITLE = (string)reader.GetString(3);
PRICE = (double)reader.GetDouble(4);
TOTAL = QUANTITY * PRICE;
AUTHORS = loadStoredProcedure(TITLE_ID);
loadDataSet();
reader.Dispose();
cmd.Dispose();
oracleConn.Close();
return;
else return;
public string loadStoredProcedure(string match)
string cmdStr2 = "ALLAUTHORSFORTITLE";
op1 = new OracleParameter();
op1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
op1.Value = (object)match;
op2 = new OracleParameter();
op2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
op2.Size = 100;
cmd2 = new OracleCommand();
cmd2.CommandText = cmdStr2;
cmd2.Parameters.Add(op1);
cmd2.Parameters.Add(op2);
cmd2.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
int code = cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery(); //error here
String buildit = (string)op2.Value;
oracleConn.Close();
return buildit;
}

Hi,
In cases with the same problems do you have, it's recommended to post a break point before the call of the store procedure. And then test the store procedure with this values separately. If you do this you can find out where the problem is.
Also, is best if you put the output of the console log to see what it's the problem.

ok ladies and gents help me out i need some info on oracle solaris 11 and i havent been able to find it online. here is the stuff i need:
1. Number of Clients Supported-
2. Number of Processors Supported-
3. Support for SMTP, HTTP, DNS, File & Print and Remote Administration-
4. Support for Windows, Linux, UNIX & Appleclients-
5. Back up capabilities-
if you know anything about this stuff please help me out i would greatly appreciate it. and have a great turkey day everybody.XD

No one will do your work for you, particularly if it is schoolwork.
You would be cheating and whatever grade you might get would be false because it wouldn't be your work.
Here is the link to Oracle's documentation page.
From there you can get to the documentation for Solaris 11.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/solaris-11-192991.html
There is a lot of OS documentation there, so you had better start reading.
It will take some time for you to eventually undertand it all.

User accounts (help for a School)

Need to create user accounts for 15 teachers on a single machine is it possible to dupplicate the accounts and just change there name instead of going through the process of selecting all
thanks
craig osgood

Hi Craig
Yes it is possible to do that, but it is so labour intensive it would be quicker just to create 15 new accounts.
Here is the Apple document for changing short names which you could adapt if you wanted to replicate names.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106824
But I would recommend spending only five minutes or less doing it manually.

I have a dual boot lab that I set up for a school. The partitions consist of Mountain Lion OSX and Windows 7 Ent. I use bootpicker software for choosing the operating system at startup. When I select the windows partition, it take just under 2 minutes from selection to the windows login screen. It seems to take incredibly long for the mac to "shut down and hand over the operating system to windows.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get this timing faster?
Thanks for any ideas/input

The only suggestion I can make is to look ar ReFind (previuosly ReFit). Startup mamangement is one of its features.
But
It is very powerful so test it for yourself before deploying it. Some of the functions are best kept out of the hands of the curious, or 'playful'
And you never answered this question.
Tell me what the needs are, do the users always need to choose Windows or is this a variable?

I AM SWITCHING TO A MBP FOR GRAD SCHOOL & TO REPLACE MY DEAD DELL.

(I should say I am using a brother's mac now so anything that you see in the area of personal profile stuff, is not mine. There is nothing that should be about me or my computer.)
Hey- I thank you for at least attempting to see what it is I am needing, and if you can, please feel free to give me any suggestions. I will use them as just that-suggestions-in case I might need ones. So please if you feel you can help me, tell me your situation. I will be the one who ultimately decides if it is something I want to look more into. I am headed to an architecture/planning program that has some serious IT requirements. I have never used a MBP, 17" with the intense graphics set-up it has. I have had some experience with Tiger, but none with Leopard and SL. OK, that is my "brief" intro so you kind of know where I am coming from. finally, I am not going into this like I am buying an iPod, some serious help from the school, the Dean of the Program, the Assoc. of Professional and Academic Architectures (which I have been a member of for sometime), and a few friends from way back who have finished and successfully passed the program and some licensing exams required. All of them had their say on the computer to use and if it was a Mac, much more info as given.
1. Any good/bad experience with the latest MBP and I hope to have the SL installed. If it does not come installed, I will install it. Any thoughts on using what basically sounds like a fine tuned Leopard OS? I have to have several programs that require a lot of power and memory, especially CAD. So, I am getting all the RAM I can at his point. I have been told to not get Apple ram, but I have decided to get the ram from apple and just max out the bays so it is covered under applecare and I am trying to avoid as many potential problems during the program with the computer and the external hard drive for back-ups as possible. (Do not want to have to remove off brand ram and install the ram that came with the MBP before they will service it all during finals; if I can help it.)
2. any suggestions on Apple or other brand (Targus, etc.) who have quality carrying cases for this MBP 17".
3. any thoughts on the matte compared to the glossy display? I am probably going with the matte display.
4. any good articles by Apple on this site that addresses basic maintenance requirements. I understand with Apple computers the less the better, but it seems like I am reading more and more articles on routine care and if no applecare was purchased, and it turned out to be a big problem, I would not know what to do.
5. I do need to max out on ram, but I really do not need the 2 intense graphic set-up this machine has; especially one have its own dedicated source. I might be a good ting in the 3 or 4th year but I really have not looked into this like I should. Is the 17" the only one that has this type of dual-graphic display?
6. I know you all hate long posts, but the last question is what people think about that new mouse? I am worried about learning the track-pad so the mouse might be a little better. I am heading to the Apple Store today to try one out. Hopefully they have this available.
I really appreciate any pointers you have given me-even if you do not think they will not be helpful. I have learned so much on various forums from these type of posts, once I get through all the BS. There are a lot of people who come to these just to play games, but some very educated people too and to give others your help is a great thing to do. So thanks!!

Hi there,
1. Any brand-new Mac should, by this time, have Snow Leopard installed on it by default. I doubt that much stock from pre-SL is still kicking around. If, by chance, the machine doesn't have SL preinstalled, there will be an install disc included in the box.
2. I use an Incase sleeve with my MBP. The MBP goes in that sleeve, and then the MBP + sleeve goes into a padded laptop carrying compartment in my backpack. I carry it around with me at university every day and have yet to have a problem, scratch, or ding. The MBP is still in pristine condition, so I recommend a dual-protection setup like this.
3. I have the glossy display and find no reason to complain. I think the whole glossy vs. matte thing is completely overblown. If you ever get a reflection from the glossy screen, adjusting the angle of the screen by 1-2º gets rid of the reflection completely! And the picture is much better on a glossy screen. I've never been bothered by my glossy screen, and have never regretted getting it instead of matte. But, go look at them both for yourself and decide.
4. I don't really do any maintenance on my Mac at all. It isn't really necessary. I would just use the machine and if you ever start to notice problems, that is when you do the maintenance.
5. The 17" and upper-level 15" models have the dual-graphics in them. I don't see any disadvantage to this type of setup unless money is a large issue for you. It never hurts to have the extra graphics power, especially if you are doing things like CAD. You don't have to use the dedicated card, but if you ever do, it might be nice to have it.
6. Don't worry about learning the trackpad. I thought i'd need to buy a mouse for mine and I'm sure glad I didn't waste the money. The trackpad is great and I can do anything using it just as fast, if not faster, than with a mouse. Scrolling, browsing the net, window management with Expose, etc. is completely intuitive with the multi-touch gestures. I don't use a mouse with mine at all. Having said all that, I have a new Magic Mouse with our new iMac and that thing is amazing as well. I find myself using that machine sometimes just to play with the mouse. Momentum scrolling is great, and the mouse tracks really smoothly and quietly on any surface. I'm really happy with it, and do recommend it!

Gift card for new school day

Hello Apple staff,
I bought a iPad mini retina display with a $50 gift card for new school day. I received the e-mail saying that the gift card has been sent. However, I have not really received any gift card code to redeem yet. So I'm here to ask help about the issue, please?
Thanks,

Best practice for application help for a custom screen?

Hi,
The system is Netweaver 7.0 SP 15 with e-recruiting .
We have some custom SAP GUI transactions and have written Word documents with screen prints and explanations. I would like to make the procedure document accessible from the custom transaction or at least provide custom help text that includes a link to the full documents.
Can anyone help me out with options and best practices for providing customized application help for custom SAP GUI transactions?
Thanks,
Margaret

Hello Margaret,
sorry I though you might be still in a design or proof of concept phase where the decision for the technology is still adjustable.
If the implementation is already done things change of course. The standard in-system documentation is surely not fitting your needs as including screenshots won't work well.
I would solve the task the following way:
I'd make a web or pdf document out of the word document and put it on a web ressource - as you run e-recruiting you have probably the possibility for that.
I would then just put a button into the transaction an open a web container to show the document.
I am not sure if this solution really qualifies as "best practise" but SAP does the same if you call the Help for application in the help menue. This is implemented in function module SAPGUIHC_OPEN_HELP_CENTER. I'd just copy it, throw out what I do not need and hard code the url to call.
Perhaps someone could offer a better solution but I think this works a t least without exxagerated costs.
Kind Regards
Roman

I manage 60 ipads for a school using Apple Configurator. Need to update to iOS7 and AC1.4.3...Is it best to use Mountain Lion or Mavericks, as I also need to update from Lion 10.7 for the new AC and iOS to work properly.

I manage 60 ipads for a school using Apple Configurator. Need to update my devices to iOS7 and Apple Configurator to 1.4.3...Is it best to use Mountain Lion or Mavericks, as I also need to update from Lion 10.7 for the new Apple Configurator and iOS7 to work properly.

I always run a Time Machine backup before updating anything and recommend you run a backup as well. Paid apps should migrate over without any problem. If you have problems with VPP codes not transfering over properly, you can talk to your Apple SE or contact VPP for Education support and they can help you. While I haven't experienced any problems with updating, its never a guarantee that others will have the same experience.
Good luck!

Can someone help with my school work... please...

Hello Guys,
I'm new here and I need help. I would like to know on how to create a Gantt Chart for my CPU Scheduling FCFS, SJN, SRTF, Priority and RR?

Thank you.

JFreeChart has a Gantt chart component.

Conditional actions in Photoshop can't test for Lab color mode.

I’m posting here because the feature request/bug report form isn’t currently working for Photoshop.
I wanted to create an action to determine if the color mode of an image is Lab, and if so, convert it to RGB. But there’s no conditional action test for Lab color mode. The list of conditions that can be tested includes RGB, grayscale, and a couple of other color modes, but not Lab, Does anyone know of a workaround? Can I get it done with scripting?
It would be a big help if the next update of Photoshop CC could include a conditional action test for Lab color mode.

This for example would convert an active Lab image to sRGB:
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
if (app.activeDocument.mode == DocumentMode.LAB) {
app.activeDocument.convertProfile ("sRGB IEC61966-2.1", Intent.RELATIVECOLORIMETRIC, true, true);
