Drive where BOE is almost maxed out - need to move stuff.  What and How?

Hey Everybody,
I'm running BOE 3.1 SP3.  I did an out of the box installation directly onto my server.  I've been running fine for almost a year now.  I have 10+ report writers and thousands of reports/instances on the server now.
What I didn't anticipate was just how fast the drive that I had installed on would fill up.  I'm almost at max capacity.  I have a new, bigger drive in place.  Now I just need to know what I can copy safely to that drive and what needs to change in my build to minimize downtime.
I've seen that I can move the repository and change the settings on the INPUTFILEREPOSITORY and OUTPUTFILEREPOSITORY servers to point at the new location.
Can anybody point me to another message thread or to some documentation to do this?

Steps to do this correctly (lesson learned from a bad experience with this !):
1.  In the CMC, stop ALL of the servers except the CMS.
2.  COPY the entire file repository (input and output) to the new location.  DO NOT CUT AND PASTE!!!  The original folders have to be available in order to update the file store locations.
3.  In the CMC, go to the Input File Repository Server and change the path to the file store.  NOTE: If your new location is on the network, you MUST use a full UNC path, you CANNOT map the drive!
4.  Do the same thing for the Output File Repository Server.
5.  Start the Input and Output File Repository Servers.  Make sure they stay started!
6.  Turn on the rest of your servers and test various reports - run schedules, view/refresh reports, view older instances.
If everything checks out ok, you can delete your original file store folders.

    Depending on the year of the MBP, the hard drive may not be considered a user replaceable item...but you can check the available 1 TB drives at good sources such as OWC, http://www.macsales.com they are great to deal with and have on-line videos showing how to do most installation tasks.

  • My 8th core is almost maxed out while idle

    Hello folks,
    I'm glad Logic is now 64bit; no more "out of memory" errors. Yippee! However, now the eighth core of my "octo-core" Mac Pro, is almost maxed out when idle. This also seems to be the core that is taxed the most during playback. After looking at the Activity Monitor, it looks like the 32-bit Bridge might be the culprit. Does anyone know if the 32-bit Bridge is supposed to spread the load evenly across the cores (multi threading)? Is there something that I can "tweak" to fix this? Is anyone else having the same issue? Thanks!

  • I just upgraded to iMovie 10.0.1, latest release and need to move my projects and events to an external attached hard drive.  i do not see any hard drive icons in this release.  How do I do this?

    I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and also the lastest release of iMovie.  The version says 10.0.1, but is it the latest release as of 10/14/2013.  I need to free up disc space on my iMac hard drive and move the contents of iMovie libraries to an attached external drive already functioning on my system.  I need to move both events and projects and keep all intact and related.  I have seen disc drives in the previous version of iMovie, but I do not in this one.  How do I move these items? I am in desperate need for disc space.

    You can create a brand new Library under File Menu>Open Library>New...
    Create the new library on the external hard drive. Then drag all the Events/Projects folders into that Library. Close the Library, quit iMovie 10.x. Now test the new Library by opening iMovie again and see that all the Events/Projects are there in the New Library. You can now safely delete or close the exisitng Library file as those are now duplicates of the real Library sitting on the external hard drive.
    Another way to do this is find the exisitng Library file, and simply drag it to the external hard drive in the Mac Finder (disk to disk copy of the Library file, by drag and dropping). Then go back into iMovie, File Menu>Open Library>Other... then naivgate out to the external hard drive and choose the Library you moved within the Finder.
    The new iMovie 10.x is much more friendly to use the Finder to run and gun and move stuff at will. It used to be the case the Library file had to be completely managed within iMovie and doing Finder copies would break them. Now it's more flexible in that it works the way most people used to think it should work (doing drag and drop in the Finder)

  • Who has maxed out their space on their 160?  How much space can itunes store on a MacBook?  should I just shift "jazz" to a new iPod and keep rock on my current 160?  any suggestions?

    Who has maxed out their space on their 160?  How much space can itunes store on a MacBook?  should I just shift "jazz" to a new iPod and keep rock on my current 160?  any suggestions?

    I have not filled the iPod Classic 160 GB.  I have most of my music and a few movies for traveling on that one.  Before I bought it, I had a 20 GB that was always full.  Now, what I do is have rock music on a shuffle that I use for biking or running.  Audio Books are on an iPod Touch.  The 20 GB unit is no longer used (given away) and replaced with the 160 that holds just about everything else.
    The MacBook is limited by the size of the hard disk.  Many people with have their entire iTunes library on an external USB or Firewire hard drive and have iTunes map to that.  Remember that this is not truly a backup (if the library is only on one drive, it is not a backup, nor should the iPod/iPhone/iPad/etc. be considered a backup)
    If you have the means to have another device, I would agree that splitting your music by genre on each device is the way to go.  I've known people that sort their music on devices by artist, album, etc.  As long as you find a way that works for you.

    I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air.  I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work.  The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything.  What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder.  So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air?  Whew!

    iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
    After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

The strengthood for Apple for the fourthfullness to be legal, which I respect, can become too restrictive in my European eyes. Any hearing around? René

  • I`m getting a saffire pro 40,and want to know what and how to turn anything I dont`t need to have running on my 2011 Macbook Pro

    I plan to do some simple live recording ( 6 or 7 simultaneous tracks,and possibly add a few more later ) I want to keep my machine running smooth with the least amount of competition for resources while recording. Any tips and info on what and how to turn off what I don`t need? Or am I getting ahead of myself here?...Just read the manual, fire it up and see what happens?...hmmm, I think I`ll take any help I can get! Oh, and yes,I`ve got the 400 to 800 Firewire cable/adapter situation handled. Thanks!       2011 13" Macbook Pro   Intel i7   firewire 800  5400rpm serial ATA 500Gb  4Gb   2.7Ghz.

    in System Preferences make sure FileVault is off, i'd turn off AirPort, and make sure Energy Saver is set to it's least restrictive settings (like not allowing the hard drive to sleep)

    a bit, i wouldn't worry about problems until you run into any. i've recorded a lot more, with a lot less

    that is probably the only stumbling block i can see. if you run into an issue where the drive isn't fast enough for the number of Audio tracks with which you wish to work, you can buy a FireWire hard drive to solve it (and shopping around they can be had for under $100 [a lot less if you're willing to "roll-your-own"])

  • HT4587 Hi, I want to set up a sound system in a new house using apple equipment. I have few sets of Bose speakers that I would like to utilise, my question is - what do I need to set it up and how do I do it with regards to  AirPlay? Thanks

    Hi, new to the forums and apple tbh.
    Moving into a new house and want to set up a sound system, thought apple would be the way to go as I have iPads, iPhones, iPod touch and nanos. I also have a few sets of Bose speakers which I would like to incorporate. What I am wondering is, what else do I need to buy to do this? Do I need seperate devices to attach to each speaker? Do I need a new router? And how would I configure it?
    Ideally I would like 4 rooms each with their own speakers that could play simultaneously.
    Thanks in advance!!!!

    First, please check out the following Apple Support article for details on setting up an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) for iTunes streaming. Note: You will need a separate AX for each set of speakers that you want to stream to. Also, note that you can stream a single audio file to one or more speakers, but you cannot stream separate audio files to different speakers simultaneously.
    Second, the Bose speakers you mentioned would need to have an audio input jack, either analog or optical digital to receive the stream from the AX. As you know, Bose makes a number of different speaker/home theatre audio options. If your specific model of speakers do, then it's just a matter to use the appropriate audio cable between the audio port of the AX and the speakers.

  • How can I found out the No. of Psocess running and How can I Release them

    Dear experts,
    How can I found out the No. of Psocess running and How can I Release them.
    I have 1GB RAM with oracle 10G. and please tell me How many processes can run with this RAM.

    >How can I found out the No. of Psocess running
    well, that depends on where you are ? if you are on windows then task manager will tell you what all processes are running. if you are on unix then ps -ef will tell you about all the processes running on a particular machine
    How can I Release them.
    what do you exactly mean by Release ? if you mean "end" that again has 2 scenarios, first that process ends by itself (ie after completing its job), another can be killing the process , that again will depend upon operating system. in windows you can kill a process from task manager itself, in unix you can use kill -9 PID to kill a process.
    How many processes can run with this RAM.
    loads of other details required before one can answer this question.no of processes in a very simple manner will depend how much memory is available and how much a process is eating.

    I had my number changed and now I can't use my phone. Do I need to reprogram it? And how?

    You need to contact your carrier. If the carrier is GSM you need to get a new SIM from them. The easiest way is to take the phone to any of their retail stores and they can do it on the spot.
    If the carrier is Verizon or Sprint in the US just call their support number.

    Another rep said pay 8€ we will send an email telling you what to do with the code in the email all via iTunes again. No email or code received. What a mess.
    You're being lied to. There is no code. The unlock process is summarized as follows:
    You request an unlock from the carrier
    Your carrier enters the request into their system
    time passes...and passes...and passes
    Eventually someone at the carrier approves the request
    The approved request is sent to Apple
    It goes into a queue at Apple
    Eventually (usually 1-2 days) Apple updates their activation database to show the phone as unlocked
    You then connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and click the "Restore iPhone" button in iTunes
    If the request has been processed, when the Restore is complete you will get a message "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked"
    Summary quoted with gratitude from Lawrence Finch, another regular participant in the forums.
