How to create multiple backup profiles for 2 disks?

Before I screw this up, I wanted to check with others here to see if I'm correct with my plan to use 2 disks to create 2 different types of backups.
I have 1 external HDD that's always hooked up to my iMac. This HDD is for full machine backups. However, I have a WD Passport drive that I want to use to back up multimedia (i.e. iTunes and iPhoto libraries). The last time I plugged in this drive, it screwed everything up... probably because Time Machine kicked in before I could exclude the Passport drive from the backup and the other HDD was near full.
What I was thinking I need to do is:
1.) Turn Time Machine off
2.) Mount the Passport drive
3.) Go into Time Machine perferences and select Change Disk
4.) Go into Options and deselect everything except our iPhoto and iTunes libraries (yuck... there should be a way to just select what you want)
5.) Turn Time Machine back on
6.) Run the backup
7.) Go back and change the disk back to my regular backup disk
This is ugly and seems error prone. Is there a better way to do this? Perhaps just deselect my Passport drive and write an Automator task for this? I'd like to do incremental backups, so that doesn't seem like a good solution either.
Thanks

Curt,
Time Machine settings are machine-specific, not "backup-specific." In other words, any exclusions you make will persist across any backups you make.
If you wish to make backups of your iTunes and iPhoto libraries, it would be better to do so manually. When you connect a drive that you might use for this purpose, simply open the Time Machine preferences and place that drive in the excluded list; there's no need to turn Time Machine off beforehand (if you exclude the drive while a backup is in progress, Time Machine will recover nicely and restart the backup).
In making your "additional" backup, I recommend using optical media. Burn your music to audio CDs, which could be re-imported into iTunes. Do the same with your images, which you would naturally burn to CDs/DVDs according to event or subject, then file those disks in an organized fashion. This will help you to keep your images organized, and you will feel safe in deleting some content from iPhoto as your need for it approaches nil. This in turn will help in taking the load off both your startup disk space requirements and Time Machine requirements.
A second external drive could be used to store those libraries, too, but I would do this in addition to the method described above. Optical disks, while bringing their own vulnerabilities, are less prone to failure than hard drives. One might lose the data on a single CD/DVD due to damage, but the rest would be OK. Store everything on one hard drive, and every file is dependent on the vitality of that one device. Overall, optical media wins out on this score. Then, there is the important issue of organization. A single drive allow one to be sloppy; use of optical media encourages (perhaps even enforces) the use of some type of file organization.

How to create an Action Profile for a Survey

Hi
Can you please help me with the steps to create an Action Profile for a Survey. Eg. If the user creates a like Lead / Service, Action profile assigned to the Transaction type has to trigger the Survey.
Thx

Hi Kalees,
Survey is nothing but a Questioner that is Represent the Feedback for a Particular Transaction.
Controlling Survey by a Action Profile is possible to some Extent indirectly.
One way of Controlling the Survey Execution based on System Status
Go To:Customer Relationship Management>Transactions>Settings for Activities>Questionnaires>Define Determination Criteria for Questionnaires Define a Criteria Set for a Particular Status,Here what ever Status Assigned are Responsible for the Survey Form to Appear in that Transaction Type at that Particular Status.
In Define Determination for Questionnaires: Business Activity:assign the Criteria Set that you have Created to your Survey Form
Go To:Customer Relationship Management>Transactions>Basic Settings>Status Management>Change Status Profile for User Status The Status Profile that you are using Ensure that the System Statuses are Assigned to a User Status on which you want the Survey Determination to Happen.
Direct Action Trigger for Survy Form is not Possible
This is one way to Control the Transaction Type Status and in mean you shall indirectly get Control over the Survey Form
Hope it Answers your Queries..
Thanks and Regards,
RK.

How to create a default profile for all users in Firefox 9.

I run a computer lab, and am looking for a way to create a default profile in Firefox 9 that new users can use. I want them to be able to launch Firefox for the first time, and see my homepage. I want to disable any check for default browsers, firstrun pages, or any other prompts.
The old .adm files for group policy don't seen to be working any longer.

See http://www.frontmotion.com/Firefox/howtodeploy.htm
You can create a defaults\profile folder in the Firefox program folder and place files in it to be used to create and initialize a new profile.

How to create multiple schedule lines for configurable products

Hi -
We have enabled variant configuration and would like to have multiple scheudule lines created , but it seems that only one line is avaialble, is there any way to configure the use of multiple schedule lines?
Note - we are not using KMAT material types, rather triggering a unique kit compoments within Sales BOM.
We have been able to make the necessary adjustments to allow the creation of the Scheduling agreement and have the BOM explode correctly, but just am not able to trigger multiple sched lines.
thanks
Bill

Your context node shall contain all these fields like country,city,etc as different attributes.so in your view configuration,add all these fields whatever you require from the AVAILABLE FIELDS section to the DISPLAYED FIELDS section.NOw all these attributes would be added in diff rows.What you need to do is,select the first attribute,lets say COUNTRY,click on this attribute and then on the buttn SHOW FIELD PROPERTIES.Thsi will show you the label name etc.Here you change the label name to NATIONALITY.Also ,it will show you the row no,cloumn span of the field and column span of the label.You need to reduce the column span of the field value.Ie if the column span is from D TO H,reduce it from D TO F.Now goto the next attribute eg CITY and in the same way,goto the attribute properties.Here ,There is a check box SHOW LABEL,uncheck this,and now goto the row no and the cloumn span.Make the row no same as that of the COUNTRY FIELD.The column span should howevrbe statring from where the column span of country field ended.Ie Teh column apsn of counrty field ended at F .So for CITY,the column span should start from G to amybe H.Now this is how you need to accomodate the other fields also in the same row,by changing the row no and column span in the field properties.

How to create Multiple UOM's for a Service

How do i create more than ONE, "Unit of Measures - for a perticular Service" in a Product Category/Group ?
AC01/AC02/AC03 would allow me to add "BASE UOM", but cant add more than one UOM for that service.
Can we have one-to-many relation between Services & UOM ? if not, how is it done in SRM-MM ??

How to create an default profile for every user on one machine? Deployment of configurations?

On firefox 3.5.X i can copy an configured profile from an user-folder to the programm folder of firefox. \mozilla firefox\defaults\profiles.
After an new user log in to the machine the default profile will get the actual profile of the new user. With all bookmarks, configurations and so on.
But this doesn't work with the firefox 3.6.10? What changed? What will be the way i can get an default configuration for every user on one machine? I want to deploy the firefox with an default configuration in our enterprise? Why does the behaviour change?
What to do?
Thanks...

No - there are no missing data, because nothing will be copied. The profile - folder does not work.
There are the standard first start behavior.
There might be another trick? Hint? Todo?
Thanks.

How to create multiple accouting documents for one invoice for diff curr

Hi experts/gurus,
I have a requirement where we need to create two two different accounting documents for one invoice. The scenario is this:
1) We are exporting goods to oversea customer, as such the currency is bill in USD
2) We also have transportation charges using another condition type, we need to capture this charges/accrual in local currency which is MYR.
Currently, the system will automatically convert the transporation charges to USD when we create the invoice and the accounting document will be generated in USD for both sales and transport charges.
is there a way to fullfil the above requirement, any setting in condition type or any user exists we can used to create hte accounting documents.
Any ideas/input is highly appreciated, points will be awarded

Hi Wan,
The following user exits are available in report SAPLV60B for transfer to accounting (function group V60B): So please go through these.
·EXIT_SAPLV60B_001: Change the header data in the structure acchd
You can use this exit to influence the header information of the accounting document. For example, you can change the business transaction, "created on" date and time, the name of the person who created it or the transaction with which the document was created.
·EXIT_SAPLV60B_002: Change the customer line ACCIT
You can use this exit to change the customer line in the accounting document. This exit is processed once the ACCIT structure is filled in with data from document header VBRK.
·EXIT_SAPLV60B_003: Change the customer line in costing
The customer line is filled in differently for costing. You can use exit 003 to influence the ACCIT structure.
·EXIT_SAPLV60B_004: Change a GL account item ACCIT You can add information to a GL account item (such as quantity specifications) with this exit.
·EXIT_SAPLV60B_005: User exit for accruals
Once all relevant data for accruals was entered in the GL account item, you can add to this data with this exit.
·EXIT_SAPLV60B_006: Change the control line ACCIT
You can use exit 006 to add information to the control line.
·EXIT_SAPLV60B_007: Change the installment plan
You can use exit 007 to add information to the installment plan
parameters in the GL account item.
·EXIT_SAPLV60B_008: Change the transfer structure ACCCR, ACCIT and ACCHD
After the accounting document is filled in with data, you can use exit 008 to change the document once again.
·EXIT_SAPLV60B_010: Item table for customer lines
You can use exit 10 to influence the contents of customer lines before they are created.
·EXIT_SAPLV60B_0011: Change the parameter for cash account determination or reconciliation account determination
You can use this exit to change inbound parameters in order to influence account determination.
I hope any one of these will solve your problem
Thanks,
Murali.

How to create multiple segments on the target structure of an IDOC

Hi All
I am working on the Shipment Confirmation Interface( Message Type SHPCON ) which is FILE to IDOC Scenario. I have a segment called E1EDL18 which occurs only once on the target side of the idoc. Now I have to created multiple E1EDl18 segments for the Qualifiers ORI, PGI and PCK. I treid to send a constant ORI,PGI,PCK and then used an user defined function which splits the constant at COMMA and then I am assigning to the target field QUALF. In the display queue for QUALF I see three values with context but still only one E1EDL!* segment is created. Please let me know how to create multiple E1EDl18 segments for three qualifiers.
Thanks
Naga

In message Mapping, just right click on the segment and click on duplicate subtree. now it will create you another segment with same name and fields in it..
you can hard code the Qual, or you can map the required source field into it.

Creating multiple input terminals for a boolean function?

Hi,
I was wondering how to create multiple input terminals for a boolean function? I'm pretty sure i've done so before, but I can't seem to remember how, I need to for a school assignment, and i've searched in the help in the program for about 3 hours before switching to google, which also didn't give me an answer.
I'm beginning to feel quite stupid especially since it is something quite simple I'm sure, but I just don't know how
my teacher is currently on vacation and since it was an assignment I actually should've done in september I doubt any of the other students still recalls.
What I want to do is create an or-function, with 3 boolean inputs, does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks

Look again at the picture posted above, it shows exactly what you need, the "compound arithmetic" node, found on the numeric and the boolean palette.
Resize it to the desired numbers of inputs.
right-click for the desired operation (AND, OR, XOR, etc.)
right-click on each terminal to invert the particular input or output (shows as small circle).
(I am not sure who gave the one star rating above, but that was certainly undeserved )

HT204053 how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

Thanks... I appreciate the reply. Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)... I had it working before.
Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is... Pop or Imap? What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

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 multi garnishment order for the same garnishment document

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to create multi garnishment order for the same garnishment document. I tried to copy the entry in IT0195 but the sequence field is grayed out so it will just delete the old record. What configuration should I do to make this possible?
Thanks a lot in advance.

hi,
As far as I got it.
You cannot have multiple Garnishment order but if a need arises you have to maintain it in IT216.
For that follow this path goto PA30->pernr->194->change->Garnishment->adjustment.
Since like order you cannot maintain adjustment also directly.

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Eric Steven Raymond
Rick Moen
Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal ? in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.
