How to maintain properly?

I am a video editor and graphic designer and I have enver asked this question before. So Shame on me.
Proper protocol for maintaining a machine should include what?
disk utility - verify and repair?
I have an internal raid- should i do something for that?
What is the benefit of AppleOption+"P""R" - zapping p ram -
how often should i do this type of maintaining?
Thank you

"Sad Macs" was the pre-OS X bible for troubleshooting. Today, Ted Landau who has been the genius behind MacFixit has a new book that focus is on troubleshooting, repair and maintenance.
http://www.amazon.com/Mac-Disaster-Relief-Troubleshooting-Techniques/dp/02017886 91/
Obviously you can scan the web, google, hang out, ask questions to issues, but it does help to have a book to turn to, a reference manual. And when it comes to help with OS X and getting the most out of it, the most often recommended is popular David Pogue's "Missing Manual" series.

I would start with making sure you have two backups of everything, especially anything on RAID. Make use of TimeMachine but also clone your system with SuperDuper (and the pdf is worth the download). For maintenance repairs, you need something more than Apple's basic tool and can't go far wrong with Alsoft Disk Warrior (v. 4.1.1) or MicroMat TechTool Pro (v. 5).

NVRAM only needs to be done when needed, which is rare. It is not regular or part of preventative maintenance.

How to maintain the integrity of datbase??

Hi,
I wanted to know that waht are the things which must always be considerd when you maintain the integrity of database and also how to maintain the security that balance the user requirement? I am asking in general point of view.
hope for your precious advise.

Data integrity is normally ensured by ensuring that the schema design is properly normalized (i.e. there is 1 and only 1 place where a particular piece of information belongs) and by creating referential integrity constraints. It is also a good idea to create packages that operate on the tables and expose only these packaged procedures to app developers. When there are bugs, it is a lot easier to fix a single stored procedure than to modify every application out there. Stored procedure interfaces also simplify life for developers because they don't have to be concerned about remembering to insert all the appropriate relationships, just passing in the right parameters to the function.
Your question on security, unfortunately, is incredibly broad. Generally, practice the principle of least privilege-- give users the absolute minimum of privileges they could need to do their job. Precisely what sort of security policies you need really depends on the application and the organization. Large US companies have things like Sarbanes-Oxley to worry about which drives a lot of requirements, systems with sensitive data (i.e. payroll) probably need more security than something like the product database.

How to maintain 7.2 milion data in heap organized table without partition

Dear Guys,
I need to maintain a table in oracle 10g where there around 7.2 milion data. That table does not have any partition concept as oracle 10g standard edition does not support partitioning. And day by day data volume is increasing.
Now in this scenario without affecting my existing structure how do I properly managed that dataload in a optimized way.
Thanks in advance. Please do suggest a valid opnion.
Thanks

AnirbanMy opinion is you should forget about the "7.2 million data" (whatever that means) and focus on performance. Are you experiencing an actual performance issue?
I'll leave it to others to decide if my opinion is "valid".

I am using TAXINJ pricing procedure for creating excise invoice.
My question is how to maintain TAX Codes for calculating breakups of excise duties. How many tax codes do we maintain.

Hi,

The log table will grow huge.
Please help me.
Thanks.
You have two options.
Either a running log, from which you periodically delete old records, or maintain a standing record for each process you are tracking.
Ok, let's take the second, since that seems to be your preferred method.
Going back to your original post, you gave us code and said "I have tried the below code but it's not working properly."
Please define "not working". That statement is totally devoid of actionable or diagnostic information.

1. copy the frames of your looping animation.
2. create a new movieclip and paste those copied frames onto
this movieclip's timeline
3. from your library drag a copy of the above movieclip to
frame 1 of your main timeline and attach a stop() to that frame.
4. place your login textfield and ok button on frame 1 of
your main timeline.
5. when ok is pressed (and login) passes some condition
direct your main timeline to frame 20.

Every time you BULK COLLECT into a collection type the value is overwirtten. So you need to try something like this.

2 /
Type created.

How to maintain Ztable using function module instead of SM30

Hi Friends,
please tell me , How to maintain Ztable or view using function module instead of SM30.
Thanks,
Veerendra.

Hi,
You can design your report and use Function module VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL for that.
You need to use Action type as 'S' for displaying and 'U' for maintaining the table.
Ex:
CALL FUNCTION 'VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL'
EXPORTING
    ACTION                               = 'S'
    VIEW_NAME                            = 'Table Name'
EXCEPTIONS
   CLIENT_REFERENCE                     = 1
   FOREIGN_LOCK                         = 2
   INVALID_ACTION                       = 3
   NO_CLIENTINDEPENDENT_AUTH            = 4
   NO_DATABASE_FUNCTION                 = 5
   NO_EDITOR_FUNCTION                   = 6
   NO_SHOW_AUTH                         = 7
   NO_TVDIR_ENTRY                       = 8
   NO_UPD_AUTH                          = 9
   ONLY_SHOW_ALLOWED                    = 10
   SYSTEM_FAILURE                       = 11
   UNKNOWN_FIELD_IN_DBA_SELLIST         = 12
   VIEW_NOT_FOUND                       = 13

How do I properly zero out or erase the hard drives in my early 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 tower?

How do I properly zero out or erase the hard drives in my early 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 tower?
I assume there are already instructions on Apple.com someplace but haven't seen them yet… I have to one terabyte drives one the operating system the other is blank I want to start fresh I want to zero out both drives but I didn't want to make any mistakes
I know I can use disk utility to 0 Out Dr., #2 that means I will have to take out the operating system hard drive out of my 2008 Mac Pro and put it into my 2009 Mac Pro to use the disk utility to zero out drive one the OS drive in my 2009 Mac Pro am my correct
I just need a little bit a help I want to go slow so I don't make any mistakes with the sleds or with the erasing process which journaled to choose encrypted or not etc. etc.
Furthermore is there instructions on the site on how to change the hard drive into a different sled because the sleds and my 2009 are different than my 2008 any advice
Thank you

I'm doing this because my friend told me that zeroing out the drive can nap bad sectors and also later for some kind of diagnostics usage of the drive or something like that he wasn't really clear
My friend was really specific he said choose the option that writes zero's once over the drive that is plenty good enough I was inclined to use the maximum seven write ...I just want to make sure the drive has no bad sectors and that's it's it's zeroed out for possible future diagnostics usage or something that he said was usable later
he also advised me to run a test on it but I don't have the software you mentioned or the software that he has… So I may have to take the drives over to his house unless you have some kind of free software that's easy to use that you could suggest that will not only zero out the drive but test the drive completely
I am completely new to Mac I'm no dummy but at the same time I'm not super technically capable I mean I can surprise myself I'm pretty good but I need a good teacher… How expensive is this lifeguard software?
Thank you

How do i properly erase an iphoto folder?

unfortunately (and ironically), in my paranoia to not lose any photos, i've imported similar photos several times into iphoto. i then used iphoto diet, but it does strange things sometimes - in my experience, it doesn't always remove the proper duplicate (but the thumbnail), etc. so i've resorted to manually sorting each of 15K (ouch!) photos to remove the correct duplicate. i do this by sorting through the photos for different years. i've started working on 2004, and wanted to start with a clean slate and erase all the photos, then only import the orinigals i want, but iphoto 'residually' shows the saved thumbnails (i think they're thumbnails b/c they are only about 16kb, and don't open to full size - i get the 'white screen' that others have mentioned). i entered the iphoto folder (i know - a no no, but didn't know how else to erase 2004 photos) and deleted the 2004 folder.
sorry for being so wordy - can you suggest a way to eliminate my 2004 photos in a way that would be iphoto-friendly ?
thanks for any suggestions.

There are several ways to erase photos, slideshows and albuns from iPhoto.
First of all, to make you more feel secure all you photos are actually in your iPhoto library- that means they have been copied to you pictures folder. Whatever you do with them, the originals are kept. I mean, if you have one photo in a certain album and if you erase it from that album, the original is kept in the Library and pictures folder. All iPhoto does is like an alias to the Library, so it is perfectly safe to erase an album or slideshow in iPhoto, since the real photos are in the Library, and the most real ones are still kept in the pictures folder on the finder.
..."how do i properly erase an iphoto folder?"- select it and press "delete" or on the "edit" menu--> "erase/delete/cut"... again... don't worry about the content of this folder/album, because they will remain either on the iPhoto Library and pictures folder on the Finder.
Sorry to be so confusing...
Hope I've been helpfull.

How to Maintain the Pricing Condition Records in CRM

Hi
I am new to the CRM
How to maintain the pricing condition records in crm for the particular condition type?
as we do in SD(VK11)
Thanks

Hi Binu,
First of all, you could maintain pricing conditions in the following places:
1. In General Condition Maintenance (GCM)
2. At the product maintenance level
3. At the 'Price agreement' tab of Contracts
4. As manual conditions during order processing at item level
Now, if you want to maintain conditions using GCM, you first have to maintain a condition maintenance group in the customizing where in you can assign condition table and condition type for different counter values. I am assuming that you have done this activity successfully.
When you run the transaction '/SAPCND/GCM', for application 'CRM', your condition maintenance group name and context 'GCM', you will be initially taken to a screen where in you'll have an item area which would be blank and then condition fields would be displayed in a tree on the left.
Here, select the field 'Condition type' and click on icon 'Select records'. You would get a dialog prompting you to enter condition type. Here you can specifiy the condition type for which you want to maintain/view condition records.
If no condition records are available, item area would be left blank. Here, you can choose a condition type using the standard F4 help. Depending on condition types that are assigned to condition maintenance group, different condition types would be displayed in the F4-help using which you can maintain condition records.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Pavithra
