How to use the rescue and recovery, and the product recovery discs ?

Hi everyone,
I've just recently became a new owner of a T61, and really enjoying it. I haven't had a chance yet to test-drive the lenovo phone support, as I have not yet screwed anything up that bad that required their help. I did try a clean factory reinstall from the service partition and it worked great. I would like to find out, how does one use the rescue and recovery startup disc, and the product recovery discs that I created myself? From my previous experience with Dell and HP, I only had to insert the first one and restart the computer, and the rest followed. But with ThinkPads, if I ever wanted to bring it to a clean factory state using those discs, do I use rescue and recovery first, followed by the product recovery? I'm curious, what is the difference between the two?

There is no diff between the two... One is on the Hard Drive and the other on CD/DVD.
Having the HDD version (pre-installed) is a good for trouble shooting. It uses a whole diff O/S on a whole diff partition (not C.
So if you are having problems and boot to RnR (via F11), and those problems go away. you know your issue is software related. If you still have the same problems probly Hardware related... IT IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO TAKE WINDOWS OUT OF THE PROBLEM.
Other then that. You can re-image another HDD from disks, you can't do that with the F11 version.
dose all that make sense?
Hi blake_ibm,
Thanks. All this makes perfect sense to me, but that's not what I'm asking for. My question is this: if I wanted to bring my notebook to its factory shipped condition using my recovery cd's, how do I do that? Do I insert cd1 first and then restart the notebook, or do I just insert it without restarting it, or perhaps I should use first the rescue and recovery?
You said that there is no difference between the two, but what two are you talking about man? I am not comparing cd recovery to partition recovery. I am talking about rescue and recovery cd, with system recovery cd's. These are the two things that I'm talking about.
I'm really grateful for all replies, but please people, read the question first !!!
I would really appreciate if someone could explain the steps involved in performing a clean factory recovery, using the cd's, and not the recovery partition. I just want to know for the future, in case one day I have to do it. That is all I'm asking.

How to use stored procedures in DIAdem and Can the stored procedures be used to return values?

Can anyone please tell me how to use stored procedures in diadem and to return values from it. Its really important, can you please answer it at the earliest.
Thanks In advance
spiya

Hi Spria,
I'm very sorry for the mix-up, I thought Allen was going to answer you back with the particulars that we found out. Check out the attached Word document and the below tidbits:
The built-in DIAdem ODBC functions {SQL_...()} can only call stored functions, which return a scaler result {found then in SQL_Result(1,1)}. The syntax for this with an ORACLE db is
"select function(parameters) from package"
...where package defaults to "dual" if you don't use your own package.
There might be exceptions to that though, and the syntax will be different for other databases. Note that stored ORACLE procedures can NOT be called from the ODBC functions, instead you must use either ADO function calls in the DIA
dem VBScript or the OO4O COM wrapper that ORACLE provides (this is described in further detail in the below Word document).
Hope this helps,

How to use ssd as boot drive and hdd as storage on a macbook pro 13

Does anyone know how to use SSD as boot drive and have HDD in optical bay as storage on a Macbook pro 13. I mean in that both drives work as one . by formatting using mac software . I would like to run all programs and OS but would love to have my downloads and useless data on run on my 1tb 5400rpm hdd without me have to manual send it there..

Does anyone know how to use SSD as boot drive and have HDD in optical bay as storage on a Macbook pro 13. I mean in that both drives work as one
Each drive mounts as a separate volume. There is no convenient way to make them look like one contiguous volume.*
Franky, with an hdd and a ssd I would recommend you put your home dir on the hdd and leave the ssd for the OS and your key applications. It's relatively easy to do and I think better than moving only portions of your stuff.

How to use buttons in hcm process and forms?

Hi Experts,
I want to know how to use buttons in HCM process and form.
And when i click on the button it was validating all the fields and it was throwing an error ( complete SACHP fields) i am not using this filed in any where of my form.
So, please help in getting out of this error. And help me with some document, which method will trigger once we click on the button.
Thanks & Regards,
Rocky

You do not need to add this field to your list. In the view V_T588MFPROPS (SAP delivered), this field is set as mandatory. In configuration, you must maintain the view V_T588MFPROPC (Customer area) and make sure the field is not set to mandatory. This will override the SAP delivered setting and the error message will be not be displayed.

             copyInto.setTel(tel);
             copyInto.setEmail(email);
}How can I correct the wrong part?
I don't understand how to use super in equals() method and makeCopy() method.

Try something like this ...
public boolean equals(Object other) {
if (other==null || !(other instanceof Person)) return false;
Person that = (Person) other;
return getTitle().equals(that.getTitle())
      && getName().equals(that.getName())
      && getAddress().equals(that.getAddress())
      && getTel().equals(that.getTel())
      && getEmail().equals(that.getEmail())
Notes:
* This overrides Object's public boolean equals(Object other), which is (probably) what you meant.
* You don't need to call "super.getWhatever" explicitly... just call "getWhatever" and let java workout where it's defined... this is better because if you then override getTitle() for example you don't need to change your equals method (which you would otherwise probably forget to do, which would probably have some interesting side effects.
Cheers. Keith.
