How Best to Manage the Media Cache?

Hi. I use a Mac Pro and have a 24TB RAID which holds most of my media. My problem is how best to manage the Media Cache which gets very big, certainly to hold on my OS drive (as recommended) . I could store it in a separate "cache" folder on my RAID but will this effect performance? Or is it best to save it with its media? I would rather not trash the Cache files as I often need to draw upon older projects and it's media for current projects. I think this is the weakest part for FCP editors switching to Premiere.

Ideally you should have five internal 'drives':
OS/Programs
Projects
Cache/Scratch
Media
Exports
You've got the OS and Media drives worked out, now get those other three in place.

How best to manage the camera roll on iPhone

Should it be periodically cleared?

I do not use the Camera Roll for long term storage of photos on my iPad or iPhone. I use PhotoStream to transfer photos to my MacBook Pro. Once they are there I archive the best photos and discard those I do not want.
The best photos are then organized into albums. In my case that means using iPhoto on the MacBook Pro. Keep in mind that I also have backup copies of my best photos on two other hard drives.
Once the photos are organized in iPhoto I can sync those albums that I want on my iPhone. After I sync I'll delete the redundant photos from the Camera Roll on my iPhone.
Having too many photos in the Camera Roll makes that album hard to got through to find the photo I might be looking for. When they are organized into albums after a sync I can usually find the one I want fairly quickly.
I know you can copy a photo from the Camera Roll into another album directly on your iPhone. But that still leaves the original in the Camera Roll. Deleting that original from the Camera Roll will delete the copied versions. Leaving all the original photos in the Camera Roll makes the Camera Roll album with too many photos for me to easily find one. So I use the workflow described above.

How best to manage global forms

Looking for the best way to manage "Global forms". Where the same form (Output) may have different data displayed based on the country it is printed from.
Let's just use BA00, Order Confirmation as an example.
In the U.S. this output is on 8.5 X 11 inch letter paper, and has some specific texts which should be displayed in certain locations.
For Britain, we'd like to use the same form, but this will print on A4 paper, and have their own specific texts (in specific form locations)
Same difference for China, Greenland, Mexico, etc. Assume each "Country" is a Sales Organization in SAP.
How best to manage the output form configuration and controls?
If I use a condition record for BA00 that includes Sales Organization, is it left up to the SMARTFORM programmer to query the sales org. and determine what and where to output the appropriate texts for each country?
Is there a way to have a different form for each Sales Org, and how would this fom be "selected"?
Anyone got any other ways to more efficiently handle this situation ?
Thanks in advance

Crikey ! Thanks for the quick response. That is where I was going, but wanted to get some other viewpoints
Thanks

Working on two machines - what about the media cache ?

I'm a long time user of FCP just getting my head around Premiere Pro CS5.5. I quite often work on the same project at work and at home. With FCP I simply duplicated the media onto another drive and just transported the project file on a flash disk - obviously rendering of effects would have to be done locally.
Now with Premiere I notice there's the media cache which, as far as I can tell, is not necessarily anything to do with rendering and effects but related and applied to every clip.
So my question is, will the media cache have to be built from scratch on each machine every time I move the project file ?
If so, is there a way to avoid this so that I wont have to wait for it to build the media cache ?
....or on a 30 minute film with 15 hours of original media will this will this be a quick process so as not to be a problem ?
I suppose what I'm really asking is how can I easily work on the same project in different locations ?
Any help appreciated.

At the moment my media cache is in my user library folder on the system drive.
I would avoid using the system drive for media cache files.
The best would be to have a separate, identically named drive
(D for example) for your media cache.
If you use an external drive for your media, make sure that
you assign the same drive letter to this drive on both systems.
... and then duplicate the lot onto another drive ?
I have never tried to wholesale copy media cache files from one
system to another... preferring to allow Premiere to generate a
cache for each system.
One other thing. Suppose I capture some more media at work, can I just copy this media into the same location on my home drive and then will the media cache on my home machine just update the new media ?
Yes.

How do I clear the Disco cache on App Server 9.0.4

Can anyone tell me how I can clear the Discoverer cache installed on 9.0.4 Oracle App Server? Can it be done using App Server Control, is there command line syntax I can use?
Thanks

Hi Andy
I think the only way to get the memory back is to bounce the server. Sorry.

Clearing the Media Cache Database

Hi, In a tutorial on using Encore CS6 it says to "clear the media cache database"
Why is this done? ...and if done... does it remove any important files, clips, assets..etc that are in my other projects? Is it safe to do this?
Thanks

PPro and Encore create MANY temporary files, which may be deleted when you are done with the project... your original video clips and project files are in a location of your choosing, not in the cache folders
Some more on locations http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1007934?tstart=0
And, one way to design your project http://forums.adobe.com/thread/919388?tstart=0
I always create my project files on my 2nd hard drive (see below) so the temporary files are also put on that drive
My 3 hard drives for video editing are configured as...
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and ALL program installs (2)
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folders and files
3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (1)
(1) for faster input/output if you have 4 drives
- use drive 3 for all source files
- use drive 4 for all output files
(2) only 60Gig used, for Win7 & CS5 MC & MS Office & other smaller programs
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows paging swap file

I do not use RAID... AVCHD is CPU intensive, not drive intensive like uncompressed, so
I have no problems editing without RAID (but, this is for "simple" home videos)

Syncing an iDevice to a computer does not remove content from the computer.
Syncing an iDevice to a computer that it does not normally sync with will remove the content from that device.
If the media was acquired with a different Apple ID it is in no way linked to your Apple ID.

It will be backed up on your computer and can later be restored to an iOS device using iTunes, if desired. Of course, if your hard drive crashes you'll lose it if it isn't backed up somewhere else. If you want to included it in your computer backup, it will be located at one of the following locations:
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

How do I manage the "open in" menu?

How do I manage the "open in" menu?
I know it's limited to 10 apps.

You really can't manage it. Thre is no feature or settings that allows you to manage it. As you use Open In on the iPad, the compatible apps for that file type will appear in the Open In menu. The more that you choose a certain app for the file type, the faster it will move up to the top of the list - IIRC.
Other than that, there is no way to control it or remove or add apps in the Open In menu.

I can't find anything about how to properly manage the tablet's layout in horizontal or in vertical position.

I can't find anything about how to properly manage the tablet's layout in horizontal or in vertical position.
If I consult my website in vertical position, it's ok but, If I turn my tablet, all the hyperlinks and all general visualization are wrong.
How I can properly handle both views?
PS: I'm sorry for my bad english

Could you share the site URL so we may check at our end? Also could you share some screenshots explaining the 'wrong hyperlinks and visualization'.
Thanks,

Do I realy need the Media cache files for archiving

Hi I am arc hiving some projects and the Media Cache Files are huge over 7GB. The project this is from is a 2hr dvd so I expect big files, but I can't fit 7GB on a data DVD for backup. Can I delete this cache folder and will Encore DVD 2.0 rebuild these files the next time I try to access the project?
Matt

I wouldn't delete any if it if you want to absolutely positively guarantee it all works later. However, the PK files and CFA files can be deleted if you like, and it shouldn't bother Encore too much. Next time you open the project they will be automatically re-created (no way around it), so take that into consideration as far as your time is concerned - you will have to wait while those suckers are re-built.
If you have transcoded assets, Encore can get fussy looking for them, even if you have the original untranscoded assets recognized. My choice...delete the CFA files and PK files and archive the rest for safety. The CFA files take up a huge chunk anyways, so that should help with 1 or 2 GB of space.

How can we manage the operations subcontracted in B1 ?

Good morning
How can we manage the operations subcontracted in B1?
For example.
I have a purchased item (a box A0001)
I must paint (Service Item P0001)
I have a finished product that I sell (The box painted A0002)
I have a BOM for this item which contains
A0001 + P00001
Can we have a floating price for article P0001?
Can we have a purchase order for the Item P0001 from a production order of item A0002 ?
etc. ...
I am a new French partner. My apologies if this issue already exists and then for my English .....

Can we have a floating price for article P0001?
P0001 being a service item would be defined as a standard cost item with Issue method backflush. In this case using a floating price might not be possible.
You could actually consider the quantity to be the price and define the price as 0.1 / any lowest mutiple and in the Production Order change the quantity to equal the total cost of painting.
Can we have a purchase order for the Item P0001 from a production order of item A0002 ?
P0001 if defined as a labor / service item cannot be purchased.
