how to create a bootable CD

Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

How to create a bootable drive for 10.5.8 Leopard?

I wonder if I can use the DVDs following the machine with the Old system of Leopard in order to create a boot drive when my system now is updated to 10.5.8?
Not sure where those recovery disks / system disks are.
Can I createa a boot disc or drive for 10.5.8 without the installation disks?
Or can I create a boot disc from the existing system files on my mac?

Ok. Just to be sure, my Macintosh Hd now contains 180GB of data and the total size is 240GB. So Superduper will "understand" based on my settings? that Superduper is only suppose to make a boot of the system and utilites not the entire 180 GB of information?
No, I'm afraid not. It will clone everything.
I forgot that you don't have the DVDs. This is how you'd get a system only boot drive.

I can make this with a partation size on another drive of about 40GB?
If you had a way of getting a fresh install I know from experience that a 20GB partition would work, (maybe smaller).
Best way is get an ext HD of at least 240GB ideally. Clone it, (and boot from it to check it works). Boot back into your regular drive and do the update on that. Is this clone your only backup strategy?

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?

The system I'm have is a Mac-mini that had SL on it and no SuperDrive. I have also call Apple Support and they have really have not been to much help over 1st did my up grade to Lion and Installed the Lion Server.... it lost my SSL that I paid for and kill almost on of my server setting, plus kill all my web servers (using apache vhosts), and not to say the LDAP will even let remote users login to your laptops.
PS: There is no way that I'm going to buy a Install USB from Apple... They have over billed me over $300.00 because the Apps Store still has bugs (Glad I did not write that App/Service)
If there is anyone that can give in the information to create a USB install stick, I would be very thinkful.

Here you are bro, courtesy of "softpedia.com"....brilliant site!!!
If you ever had problems with your Mac OS X installation you know that the first thing you should do is to check the startup volume using Disk Utility.
After the check has ended and, if the errors exceed a certain level of seriousness, the Disk Utility application will require you to restart your Mac and use its Mac OS X Install disc counterpart.
Other users may have to reinstall OS X altogether, but will find, or already know, that their SuperDrive (a CD/DVD reader and write combo drive) is not functioning properly and it will not be able to read the Install disc.
Although this might happen to Mac OS X Leopard users due to faultyhardware, the vast majority of problematic SuperDrives will be encountered inside Snow Leopard running Macs.
This is due to the updated SuperDrive firmware included in either the Install disc or the software updates one has to install to reach the latest version of OS X, namely 10.6.6.
This can be fixed by flashing the SuperDrive’s stock firmware using free command line tools that one can find for free online (I will write about this process also, but at a later time because this article only focuses on allowing you to create your own alternative USB boot disc).
If you are reading this last bit of information with skepticism, than you should know that it happened to me too. Despite all my tries to make it work properly, the SuperDrive kept on munching any inserted DVDs and just popped them out in about twenty seconds.
The workaround to this issue was to create my own Leopard bootable USB memory stick. I am not suggesting a Snow Leopard bootable stick mainly because there are lots of users that have decided to buy the cheaper, Upgrade version, which I have not tested and, therefore, I’m not sure if it will work properly once written to a USB disk.
And now, here are the exact steps you should follow in order to obtain a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) Install disc.
Step 1 (If you already have the Leopard install disc DMG file you can skip to Step 2)
Launch Disk Utility (you can find it inside /Applications/Utilities). Here select the Leopard Install disc in the list of drives on the left and click on the New Image menu entry at the top of the window. A save message will appear where you will have to select the Desktop as a destination.
Step 2
After Disk Utility has finished creating the Leopard DMG, insert your USB stick and erase all data and reformat the disk. To do this select the USB in the list of drives on the left and, after clicking on the Erase tab on the right side of the window, choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and click the Erase button beneath.
Step 3
After the USB has been reformatted, download the SuperDuper app from HERE and launch it. Once SuperDuper starts, you will only have to select the DMG in the Copy drop-down menu, your USB memory stick on the right and hit the “Copy Now” button.
One can also use Disk Utility for this task but creating a bootable USB stick failed 2 out 4 times when copying the DMG to the stick (with the exact same settings each time). Creating the bootable stick using SuperDuper proved to be the perfect way to do it because it worked each of the 4 times I tested it.
The steps above can also be used to create a bootable Mac OS X Lion USB by using the InstallESD.dmg image you can find inside the Lion installer (named “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”) downloaded from the Mac App Store in the /Applications folder.
To locate the InstallESD.dmg right click the Lion installer, select the “Show Package Contents” entry, go inside the “Contents” folder, and from there into the “SharedSupport” folder. Inside this folder you can find the InstallESD.dmg you can use to create your own bootable Mac OS X Lion USB stick. To do so, go to the third step described above and use the InstallESD.dmg as the DMG to be copied to your USB disc.
That’s it! Once the process ends you will have a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) USB disk that you can use as an alternative to the Apple’s DVD Install disc that comes bundled with all Macs.
To use your newly created bootable disk you will have to restart the Mac, press and hold the OPTION key until the StartupManager appears. Here, select the Mac OS X Install disk using your keyboard arrows and press return to start from the selected drive.

How to create a bootable OEL5.8 .iso from scratch?

Are there any instructions available about how to create a bootable .iso file, for installing OEL5.8, from scratch?
We need to build a system which is a customised version of OEL5.8; we want to add some extra RPMs and remove others. We have an older build system which does this based on OEL5.5, but the way it has been built makes this hard to upgrade. We'd like to try starting from OEL5.8 again.
One possibility would be to download the initial OEL5.8 .iso; mount this as a loop-back filesystem; adjust some RPMs and config; then re-create an .iso from this file. However, this doesn't allow us to update the kernel very easily. We'd prefer an approach which starts from a set of RPMs (perhaps including modified kernel RPMs) and builds the .iso from scratch.
Many thanks for any pointers.
Edited by: user11244224 on Mar 5, 2013 7:16 AM

You cannot simply edit an .iso image file because the iso9660 filesystem is read-only. And even if you create your own iso image from scratch, with a bootable code, any package you add will not be part of the initial installation, unless you recreate the appropriate software repository database and anaconda installer. Sounds like overkill to me for what you are describing.
Why would you want to go through the endeavor to adjust the Oracle Linux distribution DVD for the purpose of creating a customized system? Why not using Kickstart instead, or a simply create a post-installation script to modify the installation to your needs?

How to create different log files for each of web applications deployed in OC4J

Hi All,
I am using OC4J(from Oracle) v1.0.2.2 and Windows2000. Now I want to know
1. how to create different log files for each of my deployed web applications ?
2. what are the advantages in running multiple instances of oc4j and in what case we should run
multiple instances of OC4J ?
3. how to run OC4J as Windows2000 Service rather than Windows2000 Application ?
Thanks and Regards,
Kumar.

Hi Avi,
First of all I have given a first reading to log4j and I think there will some more easy way of logging debugging messages than log4j (If you could provide me a detailed explanation of a servlet,jsp,java bean that uses log4j and how to use log4j then it will be very helpful for me). The other easy ways (if I am not using log4j) to my problem i.e creating different log files for each of web applications deployed in oc4j are
I have created multiple instances of OC4J that are configured to run on different ports and so on each instance I have deployed a single web application . And I started the 2 oc4j instances by transferring thier error/log messages to a file. And the other way is ..
I have download from jakarta site a package called servhelper . This servhelper is a thread that is started in a startup servlet and stopped in the destroy method of that startup servlet. So this thread will automatically capture all the system.out.println's and will print those to a file. I believe that this thread program is synchronized. So in this method I need not run multiple instances of OC4J instead each deployed web application on single instance of oc4j uses the same thread program (ofcourse a copy of thread program is put in each of the deployed web applications directories) to log messages on to different log files.
Can you comment on my above 2 approached to logging debugging messages and a compartive explanation to LOG4J and how to use LOG4J using a simple servlet, simple jsp is appreciated ...
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi.

How to create the Access sequence for the Vendor+material+plant combination

you are asked to maintain the access sequence for the tax condition for which you are putting 7.5%.
goto OBQ1 or img..financial accounting new...global settings.... taxes on sales and purchases ......basic settings.....
find the tax condition type. see in it which access sequence is attached.

How to create a custom measure for each level of a dimension

Hi all!
Can Anyone please explain me with an example, how to create a custom measure for each level for a dimension? I dont mine if you use
one or more measures.
thanks in advance
hope someone helps me.

For example:I create a dimension for product_dim witch has 4 levels:total, class, family and item:
d_aben18
n1_aben18
n2_aben18
n3_aben18
n4_aben18
herarchy:h_aben18
cube:cubo_aben18
measure:med_aben18
I create this code to fetch the data to the dimension:
TRAP ON CLEANUP
SQL DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR SELECT-
total_product_id,1,'N1_ABEN18',total_product_dsc,-
class_id,1,'N2_ABEN18',total_product_id,class_dsc,-
family_id,1,'N3_ABEN18', class_id, family_dsc,-
item_id,1,'N4_ABEN18',family_id,item_dsc-
FROM PRODUCT_DIM
"OPEN THE CURSOR
SQL OPEN c1
"FETCH THE DATA
SQL FETCH c1 LOOP INTO-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N1_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N2_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N3_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N4_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
"SAVE THE CHANGES
UPDATE
COMMIT
CLEANUP:
SQL CLOSE c1
SHOW 'KK2'
Then I create a cube with use compression off, and in rules sum for example.
After, I create a measure and I select Override the aggregation specification for the cube, in rules I put nonadditive and I would like to create aprogram to assign distinct values to each level of the dimension. For example, I put 1, 2 3, and 4 values, but at the end I would like to put count(distinct(values)).
for that I create another program:
VRB D_RETURN DECIMAL
if D_ABEN18_N1_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N1_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 1
if D_ABEN18_N2_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N2_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 2
if D_ABEN18_N3_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N3_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 3
if D_ABEN18_N4_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N4_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 4
else d_return=26
return d_return
"SHOW D_RETURN
cubo_aben18_med_aben18_stored=d_return
but it doesnt work.I dont know how to put to assign or to see what I want.
I report the measure, or I report the program, but then how can I see the values of the measure?
thanks in advance

How to create an Internal Customer for Ineterplant stock Transfer

Daer Gurus,
Please tell me how to create an Internal Customer for Interplant stock transfer.
Actually I have three plants out of them two plants are providing goods to third plant. Also both the plants do the stock transfer in eachother.
How to maintain the Two plants as supplier and third one as a receiver plant.
which account group I should use and what details I have to use for it ? Do I need to maintain all three plants under same account group? I know the theoratical process only for stock transfer please guide me on this Internal customer issue.
thanks in advance
regards,
Sanjay

Hi,
Take your three plants as AAAA, BBBB and CCCC.... and these 3 plants may be assigned to the Sales Area of AAA 10 10, BBB 10 10 and CCC 10 10.
Your STO will have following 4 flows.
1. AAAA - CCCC
2. AAAA - BBBB
3. BBBB- CCCC
4. BBBB- AAAA
you need to do the following settings...
1. Assign the Sales Area for the Shipping Plants... for ex (AAAA - AAA 10 10 and BBBB - BBB 10 10)
2. You need to Create a Internal Customer for every Rec. Plant and need to assign the same to the Rec Plant. And Also note that this customer needs to be created in the Sales Area which is assigned in the Shipping Plant.
(Note that CCCC will be Rec Plant from Both AAAA and BBBB... So you need to extend that customer for both the Sales Area of the plants AAAA and BBBB)
Following is the example settings required for our scenario 1.
AAAA will be a supplying plant and CCCC will be rec. plant.... for this you need to create a internal Customer (for ex C1000) in Sales area AAA 10 10 (which is assigned to the plant AAAA) and assign the Customer number (C1000) to Plant CCCC.
Now you created a plant CCCC as a customer in Sales Area AAA 10 10 (which is nothing but plant AAAA)...
Also here you need assign the Sales Area AAA 10 10 to the Plant AAAA.
Hope this will be useful to you.
Thanks,
Muthu
