Frequency of updates ?

I am fairly new user of PE9 after switching from Pinnacle 14, how often did Adobe update their software in past versions.
Also has PE9 had just the one update since its release?

This has depended on the particular version. Some do not get updated. PrE 3.0 got one, that updated it to Vista. I do not believe that PrE 4.0 had any. There was no PrE 5, or 6. I do not think that PrE7.0 had any, but then PrE 8.0 had one that fixed a lot of issues with graphics cards of the day. To date, PrE 9.0 has had one update. There may, or may not be another. PrE is on about a 1 year release path, we are early into PrE 9, so there could well be another. We just do not know.
In PrPro, CS2 had none, and cannot recall one for CS3. CS4 had two big ones, and there were several updates to an element in PrPro, AME (Adobe Media Encoder), and also some for Encore, included with PrPro. To date, CS5 has had two updates to PrPro, and some have affected other elements. PrPro is on about an 18 mo. upgrade path, so more time to release updates.
Good luck, and wish that I had some concrete info to offer, but I do not.

  • Neo2 defaut FSB frequency , live update and core center issues

    Hi,
    This is the point : i bought a brand new 915P Neo2 last week,
    out of the box results : Windows XP SP2 install is OK right
    now, Graphics Card is working properly but the system is
    still unstable !
     --> I decided to install MSI core center but while running
      pc freezes !
    ---> tested MSI live update, packets download is working
     but the tool is still unstable and pc freezes .... while testing system...
    ---> tested a small utility (third party) from intel website
    to compute P4 target and actual frequency
    this tool reports that my p4 is running at 3.24 Ghz,
    I double checked and found that defaut FSB was set to 810 Mhz
    even after hardreset and bios safe mode, CPU is running at 203 Mhz * 16 = 3248 Mhz
    I really dont understand why reset value has been set to 203 Mhz ?? why not 200 Mhz
    so MSI 915 P  defaut setting is 1 % overclocking strategy ?
    the bios setup is not really taken into account ??
    have you ever pointed out this problem with defaut frequency ? is this a problem ?
    what is your opinion regarding MSI utilities ?
    I have a lot of random pc freezes, too many for this board !
    all advices are welcome !!

    I don't usually recommend bios updates, but you should seriously consider it if you can get the board to run stable.
    Test your ram with  Memtest86. This should give you an indication if you can do a flash from DOS, plus it will test the ram for you.
    Try setting your FSB to 201. On the 865/875 boards that will hold the setting. 203 is typical of MSI and other manufacturers, but it really isn't high enough to be considered overclocking, and certainly isn't high enough to cause problems. But it keeps them in the race with the others when the reviewer's determine which board is best by looking at the decimal places.
    You don't list your power supply data. Power and ram are the usual culprits, with heat being another.

  • Frequency of iTunes Updates

    It seems as though every time I open iTunes on my computer, I get a notice about a new version being available. While I appreciate the support by Apple to enhance its software applications, I think the frequency of updates is becoming oppressive. Perhaps Apple ought to Beta test versions better and try to limit the number of version releases. I think I've downloaded new versions at least 5 times in the last couple of months.

    Interesting to hear your concern. I've rather hastily downloaded without a thought and now neither of my two iPods are recognised through the firewire cable; I have to use the USB which is restrictive. I'm nervous to upgrade anymore in case of me losing the last connection through USB and the two models are defunct.
    What's really annoying is that one iPod is only ONE week old, and my G5 is only 6 weeks old. I thought they were perfect new toys!

  • DEEPLY upset w/rapid-fire updates 2 FF & TB. ex: michael b unable 2 update toolbar buttons; w/out them FF/TB just other apps. this method incredibly disconcerting, frustrating, etc. PLZ RECONSIDER METHOD; go back 2 version changes. annoyed w/mozilla, LA

    i've been using [& updating] mozilla FF & TB for years...in large part cause i felt they were the best for my needs, allowed the most functionality...and then became the most attractive with personas. but i found a long time ago, as with most computer applications, to wait till the second version of a new product. this was especially true of mozilla to make sure the add-on developers can keep up.
    the add-ons to FF & TB give me so much more functionality....so much better than any other browsers out there. and then there are the changing personas...too match one's changing moods. [all hail MaDonna and her constantly exquisite & innovated art work.]
    but mozilla has now made continuing this functionality an impossibility by its new horrible rapid update methodology. because MANY DEVELOPERS CAN NOT KEEP UP with this pace of significant change, FF & TB have been become FAR LESS FUNCTIONAL...and thus more & more like other, previously lesser, browsers & email programs out there,
    is this perhaps the clue to go take a look at chrome, safari, opera and other browsers?
    using this "update" methodology, will mozilla become like its predecessor, netscape.....OBSOLETE.
    or, as has happened with so many other software companies including netscape, many of its employees or contributors saw that they could, in fact, do a better job and so started their own companies, as in how mozilla was born.
    we can only hope this will be the case with mozilla: that many of its contributors will band together and divert from the mess that the current mozilla exec team has created.
    oh by the way, ff 3.6.19 has suddenly started to crash more often, which i dont understand. and TB has started to freeze. hmmmmm......???????
    if i changed browsers, i'd sorely miss personas & the many add-ons i use to customize FF & T B...making them it a much more functional than i ever could have hoped for. but each updated takes so much time & effort and so many add-ons are lost each time anyway, i would also lose that functionality anyway with mozilla. so what's the difference? NADA.
    for years i have been an ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORTER of all things mozilla, encouraging friends and coworkers to install and use it....often going out of my way to install FF & TB for many of them myself.
    but as a result of the current "update" methodology by mozilla, i dont think updating FF & TB is worth it anymore so i stopped updating....both personally and professionally.
    not only have i stopped recommending FF & TB, as the computer tech at an elementary school i no longer update FF or TB on the dozens of our existing computers that i previously installed them on and i no longer install it on our new computers. in fact, because the update situation in terms of add-ons has given some of my people such a headache, i have actually UNINSTALLED FF and TB on some computers...and, horror of horrors, they have actually gone back to microsoft internet explorer than risk what they have just gone thru with mozilla.
    many on our staff are not so computer savvy so they depend on me for my computer advise and assistance.
    each our classrooms has 2-4 computers, plus we have many more in our main offices, resource room, library, etc. we just ordered a 30-laptop mobile computer lab: i will make sure FF & TB are NOT installed on them.
    our entire school campus has just had wi-fi installed. this will allow many on our staff to use their own laptops on campus. i will be discouraging them from installing FF or TB too.
    JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS POSSIBLE DOESN'T MEAN IT IS THE RIGHT OR BETTER THING TO DO.
    mozilla's exec team has failed to realize this...and for this reason alone i think they should all be sacked!!
    just as some at netscape thought they could do a better job and formed mozilla, I PRAY some mozilla people will see the LACK OF MERIT in the current mozilla methodology and move out, starting a new browser company reinstating the functionality and sensibility that mozilla once had.
    many developers can not keep up with this either....they also have lives, many of them very busy.
    so this update method is unfair to developers and users. THIS ALL SPELLS INCONSIDERATION BY SMARTY-PANTS MOZILLA EXECUTIVE TEAM.
    another problem at mozilla, getting more and more like evil microsoft in terms of DISALLOWING customer response.. i went to make a comment in another area, it would not even let me UNTIL I "UPGRADED" [if that's what it is] till the newest frustrating version. BOO HISS. BAD FORM MOZILLA
    mozilla looks like it is replicating microsoft's outrageous methodology of updating its products AND treatment of consumers. but even ms doesnt do crazy updating too often. frequency of updating is way too much. OOOPPS....mozilla IS making the oft-hated microsoft look good. who could have thunk it.
    or will mozilla end up going the way of netscape.......oblivion.
    my frustration increases daily with mozilla's repetitious notifications to update to TB 6. not a chance until i can have MY michael b toolbar button add-ons.
    as far as i am concerned the mozilla exec team has gone from stable & reliable to chaotic messiness. SHAME SHAME SHAME.

  • Can I use two different frequencies on a roaming network?

    I have a roaming network with a first generation Airport Extreme (i.e., first square model), with a first generation Airport Express connected via cable to make up the roaming network.  This is for a detached office that is about 50 feet and several walls away.  It has worked wonderfully for years until recently. 
    I believe I am now experiencing some interference to the Express.  Basically once a week I have to unplug the Express, count to 10-15, and plug it back in.  Then all is well... for about another week.  Oddly, the Express light stays green (why if no internet??).  Interestingly when I had my iPhone with me (office is primarily used for my MBP), it could still see the Express' SSID.  However, like the MBP, its wifi "fan" icon is not able to show a signal.
    I have tried changing the channel to one that isn't being used by my neighbors, nor my Extreme.  For a while, I was also experiencing interference on the Extreme.  But that seems to have been resolved after I changed the channel on that unit.  I noticed that my all my neighbors run in 2.4Ghz.  So I'm wondering if I should buy a new Express that can run in 5Ghz. But that means I lose wifi connection to my iPhone.  I can live with that inconvenience in the detached office, but not in my home (i.e., where the Extreme is).
    So my question is: In my roaming network, can I have my Extreme run in 2.4Ghz (to allow iPhone wifi connection) and my Express in 5Ghz? 
    Side question:  I noticed in Airport Utility that my Extreme's frequency is updated (Manual Setup > Base Station > Options) is updated weekly.  Could that be somehow causing my Express to stop having a wifi signal and require the Express rebooting (i.e., unplugging)?

    So my question is: In my roaming network, can I have my Extreme run in 2.4Ghz (to allow iPhone wifi connection) and my Express in 5Ghz? 
    Yes
    Thanks.  Good to know!
    Update Frequency specifies how often the Express will check to see if any updates are available...which would have nothing to do with losing the Wi-Fi signal or other problem.
    Thx.  I feel like an idiot!
    Btw, two other questions, if I may:
    1. If there is no wifi signal, why would the Express light still be green?
    2. When there is interference, why would the Express need to be rebooted?  Why wouldn't it simply regain it's connection once the interference subsided?  The reason I as is that I have exprerienced interference with the Extreme before and there is no wifi signal.  After a minute or two, it would reestablish internet connectivity on its own (i.e., without me unplugging and re-plugging it).

  • How do we track how many records INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE per day

    Hi All,
    We have around 150 tables in database. so many members/persons can access these table and every one can have rights to do INSERT,DELETE,UPDATE the records. I wanted to know How many records are UPDATED,INSERTED,DELETED for a day. is it possible to find out.
    I have some questions please clarify the doubts.
    1> If we create any table, this table gets store in All_OBJECTS/USER_OBJECTS, tabs/tab/user_tables...... we can find out table name,columns what tables were created in database.
    2> if we enter records/ delete records / update records in a table. we can able to find corresponding table. Apart from corresponding table . is there any way to find out records.
    above i said that if i create any table it will store in objects table.

    Schedule a periodic DBMS_STATS.FLUSH_DATABASE_MONITORING_INFO and query USER_TAB_MODIFICATIONS. This view shows DML activity against each table and is updated when database monitoring info is flushed. The flush is automatic but if you need control over the frequency of updates, you can explicitly call the FLUSH.
    In 9i you have to "ALTER TABLE table_name MONITORING ;" before you can use this method.
    In 10g, this is enabled by default unless STATISTICS_LEVEL is set to BASIC.
    See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/statviews_4465.htm#sthref2375
    and
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/tables.htm#ADMIN01508
    Another useful view is V$SEGMENT_STATISTICS (or the faster view V$SEGSTAT) which provides information in the same manner as in the V$SYSTAT / V$SESSTAT views.

  • Serious ical problems after 10.6.3 update

    dear forum,
    since my update to 10.6.3 ical has serious problems.
    right after the update ical reported that it had not the rights to access to the calendar cash file.
    after some days this problem fixed itself. but since then ical has a very strange behavior:
    the last event pops up at least every hour and i cannot make any changes in the calendar. e.g. when i delete an event it reappears a second later. despite of this the system update starts every day and i cannot change the frequency of updates in the system preferences.
    does somebody know any help?
    best wishes
    hans

    p.s.:
    i just recognized that things are even worth. in addition to the ical problems safari does not remember any bookmark i made. after relaunch the new ones are gone, only the bookmarks i made before the 10.6.3 update remain there.
    spooky, isn't it?

  • Instalation DVD with Leopard+iWork09+iLife09 and latest updates

    I want to install original leopard DVD + iWork09 + iLife09 then apply all updates my mac and from this point make a new installation DVD for future reinstallation's on this machine.
    is this possible or not ? If yes how?
    best regards,
    Paulo

    Your question was answered in the first reply. The answer is no, & it still applies if you exclude iWork 09 & iLife 09 & their updates. This is not just because of DVD capacity limitations. It is also because the installer DVD runs a number of checks on its contents, which would fail if you replace any of its installer packages with newer ones, & because the various packages are associated with "preflight," "postflight," & other script processes that would have to be changed as well.
    IOW, the installer DVD doesn't just install a preset list of files; it goes through a complex process of checking, assembling, linking, & configuring the OS as it installs it, including creating default preference & other files appropriate for the target Mac.
    It would not be impossible to alter everything involved to include the updated changes, but it would require a careful study of the interdependencies of the packages & scripts, modifying them as needed, creating new checksums, & so on -- basically, re-authoring the whole DVD. With tens of thousands of individual files being installed, this would not be quick or easy to do, & given the frequency of update releases, the results would not be worth it.
    As suggested, a much more practical approach is to clone a freshly installed & updated startup drive -- IOW, to copy the end result of the installation process.
    As for reinstalling the OS to get rid of whatever degradation of its performance occurs over time, assuming the file system & hardware are healthy, all you might need to do is empty the caches from time to time. Some of them grow quite large & there is a small performance penalty associated with the need to sort through some of them to get the appropriate cached data. However, since cached data speed up day-to-day use, you should not do this very often, at most a few times a year, or the result will be a net loss of responsiveness as the caches are repeatedly recreated & filled with needed data.
    Also keep in mind that the net performance gain from 'cleaned' caches is small, so if you are seeing significant degradation of performance over time, you probably have some specific problem that needs to be addressed directly, rather than by the "nuclear" solution of reinstalling the OS.

  • Malware Detection System 2011-003 definition update conditions

    I have read various reports, but I haven't seen anything by other than the kbase: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4651 regarding the frequency of updating. Has anyone been able to discover what triggers these updates?  I have read on Intego's blog that it updates every 24hrs or after each restart of the machine. But, does that include waking from sleep, etc?
    It would be nice if the preference window had a line to tell you when last updated, or that it hasn't updated (like Safari Safe Browsing thing does when it hasn't updated for at least one day).
    Apple maintains a list of known malicious software that is used during the safe download check to determine if a file contains malicious software. The list is stored locally, and with Security Update 2011-003 is updated daily by a background process.
    I guess you could always examine the xprotect files, but their has to be a better way to make sure your system is updated.
    I am hoping (and have submitted feedback already) that Apple will update the kbase document to let us know "when" definition updates are suppose to occur and how to make sure your covered.

    I go to /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle but there is no /Contents/Resources/XProtect.plist following CoreTypes.bundle
    A "bundle" is really a folder in disguise.
    When you get to CoreTypes.bundle, right-click it and choose "Show Package Contents." You will then be able to continue drilling down into Contents and then into Resources.
    For future convenience,  while in the Resources folder you can drag the little "proxy icon" at the top of its Finder window onto your Desktop while holding down both the Option and Command keys. That will create an alias to the Resources folder on the Desktop.
    You can keep the alias there or move it somewhere convenient. Next time you can just double-click the alias to immediately open the real Resources folder and  visualize its contents, including the XProtect.plist file and the XProtect.meta.plist file.

  • Procedure on how to Automate Flash Updates

    I realized that because Flash is used so universally,  it can be a target for hackers. I appreciate it that Adobe provides regular updates to  safeguard my computer from attacks. Yet the frequency of update messages makes it pretty annoying to got through the same procedure and how it steals focus to do it! When the last update installed it was right in the middle of a presentation!!! I prefer Firefox Portable and yes, I know some browsers download to a separate update window and Firefox, both Desktop and Portable/Key versions are not an exception.
    However until I have completed the  Flash update installation, because I can't find a way to automate it, given I answer the same questions in the same "Yes" manner, every time, I find myself wishing for and always on the lookout for a Flash substitute that I can automate!
    Unless i've missed a setting, I see no way to stop this nagging, so can anyone help with this?
    Geez, can't turn off italics in this posting area... seperate issue, but, like focus-stealing update nagging, I can't seem to turn it off!

    can we assume you are on a mac?  this may be fact of life. 
    one alternative that i can think of is to disable auto update.  this essentially disables any notification.  you would need to keep track of updates manually if you choose this option.
    the procedure is outlined in the Admin Guide here: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplayer/pdfs/flas h_player_11_4_admin_guide.pdf

  • FEP Updates with CCM

    Hi everyone,
    I've setup CCM2012 with SUP & FEP role, now the the clients have SCEP installed but out of date. My update setting are set to update from two sources; CCM and WSUS but when i try updating manually it doesn't pick updates from CCM.
    On SUP settings, I have confirmed that on classification all are selected and on products Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 is selected.
    when i go to All software updates node i have deployed the update highlighted below but the SCEP on clients still shows out of date.
    Please advise on how to go about this
    Meshack

    Waoh, Thanks MadLuka and Navdeep i didnt know that.
    I've reset the GPO settings below to "Not Configured"  hope it will now work,
    Configure Automatic Updates
    Specify intranet Microsoft update service location
    Automatic Updates detection frequency
    Will update on the progress.
    Meshack
    In my experience, in fact I am about to make a post about it, once you've set a GPO in the domain referencing the intranet location path, you're screwed. If you subseuqently change the GPO to Not Configured, you still get a policy conflict in the WUAHANDLER
    log along the lines of:
    Unable to read existing WUA resultant policy. Error = 0x80070002. WUAHandler
    Group policy settings were overwritten by a higher authority (Domain Controller) to:
    Server 
    and Policy
    NOT CONFIGURED           WUAHandler
    Failed to Add Update Source for WUAgent of type (2) and id ({0B9CFB0E-6873-4588-A580-2EECB3041921}). Error = 0x80040692.   WUAHandler
    ...why exactly a policy set to Not Configured overwrites the local GPO is beyond me. I guess something is still flagged from it previously being set and it just doesn't let it go. I am hitting this issue now as part of a migration from 2007 to 2012. One aspect
    is to set the Intranet path in the domain to point to the 2012 box and deploy the client as a software update. *sigh*
    I don't think a client reinstall will help; I have seen suggestions that you need to stop the update service and delete the SoftwareDistribution folder to resolve it.

  • Adobe Audition CC Updates ?

    I'm not sure how many on this forum have actually subscribed to Audition CC......
    I have not.
    Has Adobe released any updates to the initial Audition CC launch?
    As I understood it, moving to the subscription based service was going to allow Adobe to do releases much more often?
    If so, does anyone know where the release notes are so I can review new functionality / bug fixes ?
    If not, does anyone have any idea what kind of schedule Adobe is looking at as far as their CC model release schedule ?

    Hi bmdenton23,
    I can't say if there have been any updates to Audition CC since it came out. There may have been patches but perhaps no major feature updates.
    You are right in that the cloud model was based on more frequent small updates rather than a big upgrade every 18 months. However, it is also an approach that different products would get updates at different times. So, there is no clear upgrade schedule for any product but a general understanding that they will be happening through the year, with the bigger products (like Photoshop) getting more attanetion than the smaller ones. That's at least my understanding.
    There is a FAQ at:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
    There isa  question on frequency of updates and the answer is quite general saying "Adobe plans to add new applications, features, and updates to Creative Cloud on an ongoing basis".

  • Update statements tuning

    Hello,
    I am working on Oracle 10.2.0.4 and O/S is solaris .
    We are having one job which exceutes lots of update statements one by one on database. The whole job is taking more then 2 hours.
    I check that we can not do mach changes in sql tuning side to tune this query , is there any way to reduce time in oracle side like some parameter setting ..
    resizing buffer , redo log files or ..?
    any idea...

    thanks helios,
    I will check this link ..
    this states to make changes in sql statements
    but as this is a product and changing sql statements will take lots of approvals and money and efforts to customize product but yes we can try with that.
    I am looking for some database side options .so that we can tune it maximum and minimize time taken in job.
    Is there any options we have .. as redo log size , checkpoint interval etc.. to do it .
    what are the optimized values for these in high frequency of update statements environment.

  • How can I get data, as opposed to compliant/not-compliant, from compliance?

    I'm new to configuration manager, but I have been through the 2012 MS training class.
    My issue is, I'm trying to determine how I can use SCCM in general and Compliance in particular to collect data on the clients.  Here are some examples of the data that I need to collect:
    The members of the local administrators group.
    The updates that are needed and count of updates that are needed.
    The configuration settings (time zone, pagefile configuration, IE ESC status, Firewall settings, SFP setting, and so on.
    The frequency of update installation over the past year (or whenever the event log rolls over)
    I need to collect this information and report it out in a custom report.  I've tried to do this with compliance, by creating a baseline and deploying it to clients, then adding a configuration item for each piece I want to capture.  The problem
    I'm experiencing is that it looks like compliance is giving me a boolean result - compliant or not compliant, when I go to run a report on the data.  I want to get the actual data, in addition to whether or not it is compliant.
    I want to use compliance, so I can take advantage of the auto-remediation.  I have set up the configuration items with both check powershell scripts and remediate powershell scripts.
    On a related but possibly separate note, I also used a configuration item to attempt to collect data into an MSSQL server.  I created a powershell script that gets the data, and connects to MSSQL and inserts the data; the problem is, that it appears
    to not be working.  If I run the script from an interactive powershell command promt or from an iteractive command line, it runs fine.  It even works if I run it from a scheduled task.  But it doesn't appear to work running it from the configuration
    item in SCCM 2012 R2, even though Powershell is listed as a valid script type.  Two notes: The execution policy on the clients is set to unrestricted, and the firewall is OFF on the clients.
    So my questions are:
    Am I going about this the right way?  If not, how SHOULD I go about this?
    Am I missing anything in trying to run the powershell scripts in the configuration item?
    Here is the script I am trying to run.  I realize that it has the check code mixed with the remediation code, I plan to separate the two once I have the powershell running and updating the database.  Also, I replaced the sensitive information in
    the SQL connection string.

    In general no. Compliance settings is designed explicitly for what you said, thumbs up or thumbs down.
    To collect data, you need to take advantage of hardware inventory's ability to easily pull information from WMI.
    In combination then, you could use compliance settings (via a script) to populate the data in WMI and then HW Inv to collect the data.

  • Any tips at this Reporting requirement gathering stage?

    Hello Experts,
    I have 10 different sources of data which will mostly come to me in flat files.
    Some of the data coming to me for <b>UPDATE</b> will be
    1. daily,           (3 of the sources)
    2. weekly,       (2 of the sources) 
    3. monthly      (2 of the sources) 
    4. quarterly.   (2 of the sources)
    Some of the reporting requirements are <b>(GENERATE REPORTS)</b>:
    a) As needed i.e. on demand by managers
    b) Monthly
    c) Quarterly
    I am still in the report requirement gathering phase and I would like some hints here:
    Q1. What are the Dos and Don’ts?
    Q2. Does it matter whether the various sources are loaded into Cubes or ODSes? Which is the better choices and for what reasons?
    Q3. Any special guide on the frequency of Updates?
    Q4. Can the data elements from the 10 sources be all placed in say, 2 or 3 dimensions and within a single Cube?  Any advantages of this?
    Q5. Can each of the data elements from the 10 sources be placed in say, 10 different ODSes? Any advantages of this?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Amanda,
    Actually, I’d split the process into those stages:
    1.     gathering report forms that users want to have and a frequency of report generation.
    2.     collection information on available sources of data
    3.     analysis: do the sources will provide all data for forms required – simultaneously the list of reports that would be possible to create is made. Here you can take into account not only availability of resources, but also budget/time/work force limitation. It’ll determine the scope of implementation.
    4.     Conceptual model (with parallel excersises in BW).
    •     If some reports (and data in them) are completely different, don’t having common information, then consider creating separate data providers. 
    •     If some reports (and data in them) have something in common, then consider creating separate data providers with a multiprovider on them.
    •     If all data are linked to some key(s) (for example a document number), then consider creating a single cube
    •     Determine time granularity (are your weekly, monthly and quarterly data may be derived from the daily data? If yes, maybe these data (except daily) are redundant. If not, then probably these data supply some additional information to daily? – consider merging this additional info into daily cube (or probably through separate ODS or cubes).
    So, it’s a somewhat an answer to Q2 and Q5.
    Q3. You may load data just before (say a several days) the reports generation.
    Q4. See above about single cube. Additionally, the rule of thumb is to have more little dimensions than few huge dimensions. Consider spreading out your chars into different dimensions. If you’ll be able to have all data in a single cube, it would give you an enormous flexibility in building reports (especially, not mandatory ones, but ad-hoc reports on demand).
    Also you can visit www.saptips.com site. I downloaded “Tips on Implementing a BW-Based Management Reporting Solution (and Getting Your Users to Use It!)” but cannot find it in inet. If you want I can send it to you along with “SAP BW projects: dos and donts” (ppt-demo and transcript).
