Hdiutil segment to split a dmg

I am trying to split a large dmg file into smaller pieces for burning onto dvd.
Using the command:
hdiutil segment -segmentSize 4g -o foo.dmg foobar.dmg
Here is the result:
hdiutil: segment: format WRDU not recognized
hdiutil: segment failed - Operation not supported
This is on a UDRW dmg created with hdiutil. I can attach to it via gui and with hdiutil.
Can anyone help?

..."This is on a UDRW dmg created with hdiutil."...
Actually, the 'man' page for 'hdiutil' says:
..."Segmenting read/write (UDRW) images is not supported (as of OS X 10.3)."...
Presumably that hasn't changed in 10.5.
Perhaps the image can be converted using 'hdiutil' to another format, such as UDRO or UDBZ, prior to segmenting.

Segment reporting, split by profit center; still need segment splitting?

HI experts,
With reference to the subject of this post, I would like to have better understanding on the followings:
Settings (1) IMG > Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Ledgers > Ledger > Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers ... I have settings of <Profit Center Update and Cost Center Update>
VERSUS
Settings (2) IMG > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting ... I have profit center to be split (updated)
My concern, is I want to have segmental reporting. In the SAP material, it says that segment derived from Profit Center.
My Question: With the above settings (1) and (2), do I still need to have additional settings for segment? For example:
Settings (2), do I need to set segment here?
How about settings (1), any need to have <segment update>?
In settings (2), help file says: "This determines what fields in a ledger are updated when it receives posting from other application components." Not quite sure what this statement mean.
Thanks and regards,
sbmel

Hello,
The actual need of scenarios to be added in every ledger is the need for these objects to be updated in new tables like FAGLFLEXT. If you do not add scenarios then information of cost center, profit center , segment will not be updated in New GL Tables.
Hence it is mandatory to pass entire information related to Cost Centers, Profit Centers and Segment by adding relevant scenarios to all the ledgers activated.
Secondly, segment is such a field that can not only be derived from profit center but also through a BADI using a logic written using ABAP code.

Hdiutil internet-enable -yes my.dmg not working

Hello,
The internet-enabled disk images I'm creating with hdiutil are not behaving as expected. Disk Utility verifies the image and mounts it, but the contents are not unpacked and the image not dismounted and moved to the trash. I've verified that the internet-enabled bit is set with the -query option.
Could this functionality be disabled on my system somehow? A coworker tried the same image with the same results. We're both using 10.3. Also the internet-enabled flag is still set after dismounting the image.
Did a security update disable this functionality?
Thanks for any tips.
Cole

I've a little more info to share:
I've reproduced the problem with an internet enabled disk image created with Apple's DropDMG tool. The internet-enabled flag is still ignored on 10.3.4, 10.3.7, and 10.3.9. But the flag is honored by 10.2.6 (image is unpacked then moved to the trash).
Here's 16k internet-enabled image containing a small text file, if anyone would like to give it a try.
In my journies I've only discovered technotes describing how to disable handling of internet-enabled images. Starting to look like this was dropped in some 10.3 release, but there's no mention of it on Apple's site.

Combining DMGs with 'hdiutil' after splitting

Hello all,
So I've split a DMG into two sections using the terminal command; 'hdiutil' so that I could put it onto my external hard drive. For some reason the hard drive won't let me transfer a file over 6GB without giving me "Error Code 0."
So now that I have CD.dmgpart and CD.dmg on my external drive, does 'hdiutil' have a function that is the opposite of segment?
I looked in the help and all I saw was 'compact' which didn't seem right...
Any suggestions?

So, I thought it was working but apparently my DMG is now not a mountable file system....
So 'cat' is a no go for dmg's I guess...
It may depend upon how you split the original. If there is data on one or both of them indicating that they were split, that would corrupt the final image.
I know from the old PC days that if I spanned a zip over several floppies, the floppies had special flags and data on them for the software to be able to reassemble them.
Here's what might work. I think split is the command to use to split a binary file that cat can restore.
split the original and then cat the pieces. If that works you are all set.

Large dmg onto FAT32-formatted external

I have a 7,7 GB dmg-file which i need to get onto my external drive. I have tons of stuff stored on the drive right now so i cannot reformat it to HFS+.
Is there a way to split the file into two or more pieces so that i can copy onto the drive? I´m looking for a way that´s faster, easier and more convenient that using .rar files which takes forever... Someones said that Disk Utility could make splitted dmg´s that i could copy it to, but i can´t find out how.

I have used the command line hdiutil that comes with the operating system. You can go to the Terminal and enter "man hdiutil" to see how to use it. For a situation such as yours, you would want to create 4 segments to stay under 2GB per segment. The Terminal command would look something like:
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #000; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px"> hdiutil segment -o ~/Desktop/outputfilename -segmentCount 4 <path_to existing_image</pre>
You can get the path to the existing image by dragging and dropping the disk image on to the Terminal window. The complete path will automatically appear.

Program to split archive files

Hi, I need a program that will allow me to make archives of Final Cut project files so that I can burn em to multiple DVDs. The only program I could find was Machacha and unfortunately, you can only split single files into pieces, if you drop a .rar or a .zip with all the files I need contained within, it just extracts the files. So I even tried dropping a folder, but that doesn't work either.
Anyone know what apps there are to create multiple file archives, so that if I need these files again I can rejoin them from separate DVDs or other storage locations?
Thanks in advance

You can do this with the Disk Utility and Terminal applications. Make a disk image to store your FCP project files. Then use the Terminal application to run a command to split the file up into segments:
<pre class="command">hdiutil segment -o segtest -segmentSize 33m GarageBandJampack4.dmg</pre>Running that gave me 5 segments for the archive:
<pre class="command">created: /Volumes/Small Partition/segtest.dmg
created: /Volumes/Small Partition/segtest.002.dmgpart
created: /Volumes/Small Partition/segtest.003.dmgpart
created: /Volumes/Small Partition/segtest.004.dmgpart
created: /Volumes/Small Partition/segtest.005.dmgpart</pre>
The breakdown of the command is this:
hdiutil - the name of the command.
segment - create segments from an existing disk image
-o segtest - the output file name of the first segment
-segmentSize 33m - size of the segments you want. (Use "g" for gigabytes).
GarageBandJampack4.dmg - The disk image you want to split up.
When you want to rejoin your pieces, you copy them to the same folder and double-click on the first segment...

.dmg backup file will not mount. Failure not an option.

Let me begin by saying that my lovely wife is, for good reason, currently not very happy with me. Allow me to explain...
I recently decided that it was time to upgrade her iBook G4 from Tiger (10.4.xx, not sure what it was exactly) to Leopard. Her system easily meets the requirements and she would benefit greatly from being able to use Time Machine as a backup solution.
I figured that the first step should be making sure that her existing data was properly backed up and could be selectively restored after the installation of Leopard was complete. I could have performed an Archive Installation of Leopard, but she had data files and folders all over the drive and I felt that a clean installation would be best. So anyway, I booted the system with the Leopard install disc and used Disk Utility to create a .dmg backup of the one and only partition on her hard drive. I used all of the default settings for the creation of this .dmg and saved it to my external USB hard drive which is formatted as a Mac OS Extended volume. Disk Utility gave me no errors at all and the image creation seemed to complete successfully.
With that first step complete, I shut the system down and disconnected the external drive (just to be safe ya know). I, once again, booted the system with the Leopard install disc and "Erase"d the hard drive, created a new Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition and proceeded with the Leopard installation. Once the installation completed, I ran Software Updates until no more updates were available and I was all the way up to 10.5.5. So far, so good.
With Leopard now installed and fully updated, I connected my external hard drive to the system, transferred my .dmg file to the desktop and attempted to mount the volume so that I could begin copying my wife's data to her Home folder. However, when I double-clicked the .dmg I received an error stating that the image failed to mount and gave a reason of "no mountable file systems".
Now before I go any further, I want to stress that my wife's entire digital life is contained in this disk image. She owns her own business and all of the critical data associated with her business is in there. Financial data, several years of tax information, business contacts, many months worth of email... everything. So needless to say, when I saw that error from DiskImageMounter pop up, I immediately felt a little sick to my stomach. Before anybody asks, I have no idea why I didn't test the image file before erasing the hard drive. I should've, I know that, I don't want to talk about it.
I spent the next 4 - 5 hours desperately trying anything I could think of to get access to the data within this .dmg file. I made a copy of it right away so that I wouldn't inadvertently make the situation even worse. I then tried to use Disk Utility to Restore the image, but received an error stating that the image contained an "Unrecognized Filesystem". I get the same error when I try to either verify or repair the volume with Disk Utility. I tried to attach the image using hdiutil in Terminal but got the same "no mountable file systems" error that I got from DiskImageMounter. I have tried to mount the image with Toast and Mount Me! as well with the same results.
Here's the hdiutil imageinfo that I get from the dmg:

I'd be happy to provide any other information that anyone thinks might be useful. I'd also be willing to bring the image file to a professional data recovery center and would welcome any recommendations that you might have. As I state in the subject of this post, failure is not really an option and I owe it to my wife to do everything humanly possible to try and arrive at a favorable resolution to this situation.
The thing that's really prevented me from getting a proper nights sleep for the last two nights is the irony in blowing up her data while trying to get her set up with a decent data backup solution.
Thank you to anyone who is able to help.

Whatever you do do not throw out the disk image. Most likely this is a permissions/user account error involving how the disk image was made.
Try mounting it manually using the Terminal by typing the following into the application:
          hdiutil attach
Ensure there's a space after "attach" and then drag the disk image to the terminal window, which should complete the full path to the disk image. Then ensure there's a space after the disk image path and type "-mount" so the whole command looks something like this:
          hdiutil attach /path/to/file.dmg -mount
Then press enter and hope it attaches. If an error occurs, try the command again with "sudo" in front of it as such:
          sudo hdiutil attach /path/to/file.dmg -mount
Enter your password when prompted and hope that works.

Segment derivation when posting invoice on internal order

Dear colleagues,
I have configured the New General Ledger in SAP ECC 5.0, with profit center and segment as splitting characteristics. Document splitting and segment derivation are working fine for almost all scenarios, but not for all scenarios.
When a post a vendor invoice with FB60 to only a cost center document splitting and segment derivation are working correctly: the segment is derived from the profit center (which is assigned to the cost center in the master data of the cost center) and I can post the invoice.
However, when I post the vendor invoice to both a cost center and an internal order segment derivation does not work: I get the error message GLT2201 "The field Segment marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 001, even after document splitting."
The reason for this is that the posting on the cost center becomes statistical and the posting on the internal order is the actual posting. In the master data of the internal order I have not defined a profit center. Because of this the DUMMY profit center is assigned to the line item.
I have assigned all profit centers to a segment (in the profit center master data), except for the DUMMY profit center. I guess this is correct?? I can easily solve this issue by assigning the dummy profit center to some kind of dummy segment, but I don't think this is the correct solution.
A solution might be to enter a profit center in the master data of the internal order (segment can then be derived from this profit center). However, I prefer not to put a profit center in the master data of the internal order.
Does any of you have experience the same kind of problem? Can anybody give me some advice how to derive the segment correctly in the aboven mentioned posting? Did I do something wrong in the customizing?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Regards,
Koert

I have already found the solution myself. In the customizing you can define a default segment that will be used in case no segment can be derived in the posting.

Document splitting during fb60 not happening even its activated

we are making a simple entry
expense dr    6000     proft center 1
expense dr   4000      profit center 2
vendor   cr   10000
after we post our document what we should get is
expense   dr     6000     profit center 1
expense   dr     4000     profit center 2
            vendor     cr     6000    profit center 1
            vendor     cr     4000    profit cente   2
but its not happening
when we simulated this doc splitted document we get
expense   dr     6000     profit center 1
expense   dr     4000     profit center 2
            vendor     cr     6000    profit center 1
            vendor     cr     4000    profit cente   1
our configuration for doc splitt is
        parameters                           value
1    ref   transaction                      bkpf
2.   splitting method                     0000000012
3    B. transac                             0300
4.   B.trans variable                    0001
5.   derv via doc type                   KR
6   comp code                            2600
7   zero bal method                     p
where is the problem or the error due to which it is not picking up the correct profit center or correct segment while splitting up the document.

where to check for authorisation?
secondly where we have activated in doc splitting we have ticked everything
doc splitting
inheritance and std acc asignment and for constant we have filled zabc which contains business area and segment and no profit center and segment contains 9999 as default profitcenter.

Splitting Document

Hi all!
We are trying to customize splitting document for a customer invoice in productive system. In the posting there are some lines with different PC, there are also 2 automatic lines for G/L Acc. (wich have Cost elements in CO) to be splitted by PC.
We made the following settings:
- Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting:
G/L Acc (Customer - BS Acc) - Category 02000
G/L Acc (Taxes on sales - BS Acc) - Category 02000
G/L Acc (Sales proceeds - P&L) - Category 05100
G/L Acc (Taxes on sales - P&L) - Category 05100
- Classify FI Document type for Document Splitting:
DR (Customer Invoice): Business Transaction 0200, Variant 0001
- Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger
Profit center (zero balance = X)
- Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling
Profitab.segment
Document splitting is activated with method 0000000012 and inheritance
As a result there is only one splitted line - line for Customer (BS Acc)
Automatic lines are not splitted.
What is the problem whith it? is it possible to split automatic lines?
Thank's in advance

Hi,
I believe this cant be done using the standard graphical mapping i.e. you have to use Java Mapping.

Asr fails to scan DMG for restore

Hi everyone,
I have an Applescript droplet that customizes an app based on the contents you drop on it, and send off some parameters to a shell script for packaging into a dmg, etc. The problem I have is that once I create the dmg and place items inside it, I am unable to scan it for restore, which is essential to distributing the new customized app. The code for my shell script is below:
#!/bin/sh
*cd /Volumes/Work/ProdIngestWorkspace*
*hdiutil create -size 100m ProductIngest.dmg -fs HFS+J*
*hdiutil mount ProductIngest.dmg*
*mv /Volumes/Work/ProdIngestWorkspace/M3TAFormsDesktop.app /Volumes/Work/ProdIngestWorkspace/$3\ Ingest.app*
*cd /Volumes/untitled*
*mkdir -p Applications*
*cp -r /Volumes/Work/ProdIngestWorkspace/$3\ Ingest.app /Volumes/untitled/Applications*
*mv /Volumes/Work/ProdIngestWorkspace/ProductIngest.dmg /Volumes/Work/ProdIngestWorkspace/CompletedDMGs/$3Ingest$2.dmg*
*sleep 60*
*diskutil unmount /Volumes/untitled*
*sleep 60*
*hdiutil convert /Volumes/Work/ProdIngestWorkspace/CompletedDMGs/$3Ingest$2.dmg -format UDRO -o $3Ingest$2*
*sleep 60*
*asr imagescan --source /Volumes/Work/ProdIngestWorkspace/CompletedDMGs/$3Ingest$2.dmg*
diskutil is unable to unmount untitled, it keeps saying the resource is busy., so hdiutil can't convert it to read-only, and then asr can't scan it. However if I manually unmount it then try to scan it in Disk Utility, I get an error that the dmg is an invalid argument. What gives?
TIA,
Andrew

And we have something strange: from other machine the ping is ok (to CAM server) but when we submit a https://CAM_server_IP:6789 through browser it shows "Page cannot be found" error. The only way to get the CAM Web GUI is put in the CAM's server Web Browser https://localhost:6789 . Doesnt work if we use the IP address of CAM server "Page cannot be found" error. Only "localhost" works. What we have been doing to get the CAM Web GUI is to export the CAM's server $DISPLAY to another Solaris server and opening CAM's server Mozilla and typing with "localhost:6789".
Hi Bastian52
Do you have a correct DNS record for your CAM host ? Can you do a nslookup and resolve your management host ok ?

Dividing a dmg Image file

Im hoping one of you guys has an answer....
I've created about 4 disk image files on a mac at work that I wanted to transfer to my ipod. After learning that i cannot transfer a file over 4gigs or so to the ipod because its based on a "fat32 system" I therefore need to split the 4 dmg files that are about 7 gigs each in half. When I try to transfer these to the ipod, the transfer goes up to the very last few megabytes and tells me that it cannot continue because there is information missing from the file. Is there any way in disk utility or another app where i can split a dmg file in half or something of the sort? Thanks!

You can use Disk Copy 6.4 to open a .dmg file which isn't compressed or encrypted in Mac OS 9. The link is a direct download.

DMG Backup file is corrupt - Urgent help!

Hi all!
I have a major problem.
My Macbook Pro's HD crashed few weeks ago.
Brought i to a repair centre. But before i did that i was able to create a dmg backup file.
Now i got my Macbook back and tried to open the DMG file.
The problem is that i get the message that it ain't possible to activate it.
I guess my DMG backup is corrupt but i don't believe that everything in it is corrupt.
It is a huge backup of 350 GB's.
I now have external drives for extra space to put it on.
Does anyone know how to open it, mount it, extract it, or another solution so i can get important files back?
Maybe bypass the scan or something?
I'm not so into terminal but if you guys know any command line's i can put into than i'll sure try!
I hope you guys can help me. I searched all kind of forums before i would post a request and i really need my data.
Kind regards.

How to allow multiple users login to a MAC PRO without interruption?

I have a mac pro, which runs Yosemite, (2013 module) to be used as a server. However, I have difficult to let multiple users to use the mac simultaneously.
Objective:
    One person uses the mac directly on his desktop, while the others to login remotely though VNC from PC (win 7/Linux).
    The users have their own workspace, and they will not interrupt each other.
What I tried:
    I created two mange accounts on the MAC.
    Account 1 was used to directly login on the mac desktop.
    Account 2 was used to login to the mac from a PC though VNC. (I also tried this from a Centos workstation with the Tiger VNC viewer)
Problem:
When account 2 is login, the location monitor will automatically change to that account as well. Both accounts shared exactly the same screen, mouse & keyboard actions. It is impossible to let multiple users to use the MAC pro simultaneously without interruptions.
If I use "hdiutil attach" to mount a dmg file though SSH with account 2, the folder will automatically show in the local desktop login with account 1.
Question:
I read something about the "Per-user screen sharing". It says, "You can remotely log into a Mac with any user account on that computer and control it, without interrupting someone else who might be using the computer under a different login." Is it possible to do this from a PC or Linux client?
If the problem is simply due to the poor functionality of the build-in VNC service in Yosemite, I appreciate your help to suggest some other decent VNC server for Yosemite. I know the Vine Server (OSXvnc), but I failed to install it on the mac because it is incompatible with the Yosemite.
Does the SSH is supposed to work in this way in OSX? I mean the local account can see the folder mounted by another account though SSH.
If any specific version of Yosemite is required to allow multiple users to access a mac simultaneously? Just as the win 7 professional allow only one user to login in at each time. But with the remote desktop server of windows, multiple users are able to use the same computer at the same time without any problem.
If you familiar with any of the above questions, please help. Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
I know the best way to get the solution is to direct call the apple support. However, it is really not easy to call them. Because it always results with long waiting time and then the people pick up the phone will transfer my call to an expert who will make me to describe the problem again.
Since I'm not interested in the technique details of all the problems, it is also grateful if you would provide a direct instruction to let me setup the computer for the purpose.
Thanks you very much for your kindly help.

I cannot help with the screen sharing, although I have just tried it with a RealVNC client on an iPad and it seemed to work OK.
However on the disk showing on all users desk tops have you unchecked the "ignore ownership on this volume" check box? You can check the drives permissions with CMD i command.
