Ideal Solution

I cannot wait for this program to release. Like so many people interested in this project, I come from a print design background and dread coding. It's not so much that I avoid coding, as I realize it is not the best use of my time. In the time it takes me to code and debug one RIA, I can design six to ten RIA interfaces. Hiring a coder is usually the only option for a serious project, but that passes a huge cost onto my clients that they are usually not willing to pay. The fact that I can create an RIA using my primary skill sets and then determine if I need a coder or not is wonderful. This is going to open so many new doors for me.

All you do to fully utilize Oracle Forms automatic processing is to create a base-table block using the Forms Builder wizard. Then when you run the form, you just place the cursor in the block, and press the execute_query key (F8 in the windows environment) and Forms AUTOMATICALLY creates and executes the SQL to populate the block.
You never write any SQL.
And with this method, you can update and delete existing records, and insert new records ...again without writing any SQL.

ITunes match for a large number of devices, 4 people, and as a backup solution.

I am interested in using iTunes match for two central reasons:
1. Backing up my music library. Is iTunes Match an solution for this? Or not really? I get the fact that my purchases are protected, but what about the music I uploaded from purchased CD's.
Question: Can I consider iTunes Match at $24.99/year the cost of backing up 60GB of music to the cloud?
2. Sharing my music library across a number of devices. We are a family of 4 with farily extensive MAC, iPhone, iPad usage, including ...
1 iMac (Music server), 3 Power books (Indivudal work machines), 2 iPads, Apple TV, and 4 iPhones. We have 4 Mobile me accounts, moving to ICloud.
The problem I have is that I can never effectively coordinate the music library across the devices. 80GB of iTunes library is too much to load across all the devices and I never seem to have the song I'm looking for at the time I desire it on a particular device, other then the family iMAC server which has the whole library on it.
Question: Seems like iTunes Match is an ideal solution, but can it handle the diverse spectrum and number of devices I have? Ideally I want to thnk of iTunes Matchas, 1 central library avaialble on all devices, all the time.
Thank you in advance for any opinions.

Think of iTunes Match as a central library from which "satellite" libraries can pull any time they have an Internet connection.
Functionally, if all those devices are in your house, iTunes Match doesn't give you much that Home Sharing doesn't already offer. With Home Sharing all your Macs can easily "fill in the gaps" from the "master" library. Of course, that requires that the machine with the "master" library is always online and iTunes is always running on it, which might not be the case. AppleTVs and iPads sync to that "master" library and so what is on them is configured from the master library computer, not the device itself.
What iTunes Match offers you is:
1. Your "canonical" library lives "in the cloud" and so you don't have to have a home server up and running iTunes at all times.
2. Your "canonical" library lives "in the cloud" and so you can update from it any time you have an internet connection, not just when you are at home.
3. The workflow for updating from the canonical library is much better than the clunky "Home Sharing" interface.
4. Any "matched" songs (I found that in my library only about 65% were successfully matched; I'm not sure why) will be available at 256kbps AAC, which might be higher quality than what you have in your library currently (especially if you have imperfections like CD skipping, etc, in the tracks). Of course, anything iTunes can't match to its own library will remain just as imperfect as ever.
The downside (versus Home Sharing) is:
1. Everything needs to get copied onto a device from the Internet, which is likely to take much longer than just Home Sharing over your home wireless network.
Seems like a pretty good system. I've signed up for it and am happy with what I've seen so far.

Hello Everyone, I just bought a HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g but i find it very difficult to connect to it via BLUETOOTH and WIRELESS on my IPAD 3...i will be very greatfull if i'll get a solution as soon as possible. Thanks

Hi Tomiwa,
You cannot print from the iPad to that printer. AirPrint and Bluetooth are completely different.
There may be apps you can buy that will enable using that printer, but that is not an ideal solution.
That particular printer has had many bad reviews, and is unreasonably expensive for its features. Considering that you just bought the printer, as well as its lack of AirPrint, I suggest you return it and buy a printer that supports AirPrint.

The question is no longer if, but when you'll move your backup-and-recovery storage to the cloud.
As a genius IT pro, you know you can't afford to ignore cloud as a solution for your backup-and-recovery woes: exponential data growth, runaway costs, legacy systems that can't keep pace. Public or private clouds offer near-infinite scalability, deliver dramatic cost reductions and promise the unparalleled efficiency you need to compete in today's 24/7/365 marketplace.
Moreover, an ESG study found that backup and archive rank first among workloads enterprises are moving to the cloud.
Okay, fine. But as a prudent IT strategist, you demand airtight security and complete control over your data as well. Good thinking.
Hybrid Cloud Strategies Are the Future
Enterprises, large and small, are searching for the right blend of availability, security, and efficiency. The answer lies in achieving the perfect balance of on-premises, private cloud, and public services to match IT and business requirements.
To realize the full benefits of a hybrid cloud strategy for backup and recovery operations, you need to manage the dynamic nature of the environment— seamlessly connecting public and private clouds—so you can move your data where and when you want with complete freedom.
This begs the question of how to integrate these cloud resources into your existing environment. It's a daunting task. And, it's been a roadblock for companies seeking a simple, seamless, and secure entry point to cloud—until now.
Enter the Game Changer: NetApp AltaVault
NetApp® AltaVault® (formerly SteelStore) cloud-integrated storage is a genuine game changer. It's an enterprise-class appliance that lets you leverage public and private clouds with security and efficiency as part of your backup and recovery strategy.
AltaVault integrates seamlessly with your existing backup software. It compresses, deduplicates, encrypts, and streams data to the cloud provider you choose. AltaVault intelligently caches recent backups locally while vaulting older versions to the cloud, allowing for rapid restores with off-site protection. This results in a cloud-economics–driven backup-and-recovery strategy with faster recovery, reduced data loss, ironclad security, and minimal management overhead.
AltaVault delivers both enterprise-class data protection and up to 90% less cost than on-premises solutions. The solution is part of a rich NetApp data-protection portfolio that also includes SnapProtect®, SnapMIrror®, SnapVault®, NetApp Private Storage, Cloud ONTAP®, StorageGRID® Webscale, and MetroCluster®. Unmatched in the industry, this portfolio reinforces the data fabric and delivers value no one else can provide.

The NetApp AltaVault Cloud-Integrated Storage Appliance
Four Ways Your Peers Are Putting AltaVault to Work
How is AltaVault helping companies revolutionize their backup operations? Here are four ways your peers are improving their backups with AltaVault:
Killing Complexity. In a world of increasingly complicated backup and recovery solutions, financial services firm Spot Trading was pleased to find its AltaVault implementation extremely straightforward—after pointing their backup software at the appliance, "it just worked."
Boosting Efficiency. Australian homebuilder Metricon struggled with its tape backup infrastructure and rapid data growth before it deployed AltaVault. Now the company has reclaimed 80% of the time employees formerly spent on backups—and saved significant funds in the process.
Staying Flexible. Insurance broker Riggs, Counselman, Michaels & Downes feels good about using AltaVault as its first foray into public cloud because it isn't locked in to any one approach to cloud—public or private. The company knows any time it wants to make a change, it can.
Ensuring Security. Engineering firm Wright Pierce understands that if you do your homework right, it can mean better security in the cloud. After doing its homework, the firm selected AltaVault to securely store backup data in the cloud.
Three Flavors of AltaVault
AltaVault lets you tap into cloud economics while preserving your investments in existing backup infrastructure, and meeting your backup and recovery service-level agreements. It's available in three form factors: physical, virtual, and cloud-based.
1. AltaVault Physical Appliances
AltaVault physical appliances are the industry's most scalable cloud-integrated storage appliances, with capacities ranging from 32TB up to 384TB of usable local cache. Companies deploy AltaVault physical appliances in the data center to protect large volumes of data. These datasets typically require the highest available levels of performance and scalability.
AltaVault physical appliances are built on a scalable, efficient hardware platform that's optimized to reduce data footprints and rapidly stream data to the cloud.
2. AltaVault Virtual Appliances for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere
AltaVault virtual appliances are an ideal solution for medium-sized businesses that want to get started with cloud backup. They're also perfect for enterprises that want to safeguard branch offices and remote offices with the same level of protection they employ in the data center.
AltaVault virtual appliances deliver the flexibility of deploying on heterogeneous hardware while providing all of the features and functionality of hardware-based appliances. AltaVault virtual appliances can be deployed onto VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisors—so you can choose the hardware that works best for you.
3. AltaVault Cloud-based Appliances for AWS and Microsoft Azure
For organizations without a secondary disaster recovery location, or for companies looking for extra protection with a low-cost tertiary site, cloud-based AltaVault appliances on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are key to enabling cloud-based recovery.
On-premises AltaVault physical or virtual appliances seamlessly and securely back up your data to the cloud. If the primary site is unavailable, you can quickly spin up a cloud-based AltaVault appliance in AWS or Azure and recover data in the cloud. Usage-based, pay-as-you-go pricing means you pay only for what you use, when you use it.
AltaVault solutions are a key element of the NetApp vision for a Data Fabric; they provide the confidence that—no matter where your data lives—you can control, integrate, move, secure, and consistently manage it.
Figure 2) AltaVault integrates with existing storage and software to securely send data to any cloud.

Putting AltaVault to Work for You
Four common use cases illustrate the different ways that AltaVault physical and virtual appliances are helping companies augment and improve their backup and archive strategies:
Backup modernization and refresh. Many organizations still rely on tape, which increases their risk exposure because of the potential for lost media in transport, increased downtime and data loss, and limited testing ability. AltaVault serves as a tape replacement or as an update of old disk-based backup appliances and virtual tape libraries (VTLs).
Adding cloud-integrated backup. AltaVault makes a lot of sense if you already have a robust disk-to-disk backup strategy, but want to incorporate a cloud option for long-term storage of backups or to send certain backup workloads to the cloud. AltaVault can augment your existing purpose-built backup appliance (PBBA) for a long-term cloud tier.
Cold storage target. Companies want an inexpensive place to store large volumes of infrequently accessed file data for long periods of time. AltaVault works with CIFS and NFS protocols, and can send data to low-cost public or private storage for durable long-term retention.
Archive storage target. AltaVault can provide an archive solution for database logs or a target for Symantec Enterprise Vault. The simple-to-use AltaVault management platform can allow database administrators to manage the protection of their own systems.
We see two primary use cases for AltaVault cloud-based appliances, available in AWS and Azure clouds:
Recover on-premises workloads in the cloud. For organizations without a secondary disaster recovery location, or for companies looking for extra protection with a low-cost tertiary site, AltaVault cloud-based appliances are key to enabling cloud-based disaster recovery. Via on-premises AltaVault physical or virtual appliances, data is seamlessly and securely protected in the cloud.
Protect cloud-based workloads. AltaVault cloud-based appliances offer an efficient and secure approach to backing up production workloads already running in the public cloud. Using your existing backup software, AltaVault deduplicates, encrypts, and rapidly migrates data to low-cost cloud storage for long-term retention.
The benefits of cloud—infinite, flexible, and inexpensive storage and compute—are becoming too great to ignore. AltaVault delivers an efficient, secure alternative or addition to your current storage backup solution. Learn more about the benefits of AltaVault and how it can give your company the competitive edge you need in today's hyper-paced marketplace.

You didn't say what phone you have - but you can set it to update and backup and sync over wifi only - I'm betting that those things are happening "automatically" using your cellular connection rather than wifi.
I sync my email automatically when I have a wifi connection, but I can sync manually if I need to. Downloads happen for me only on wifi, photo and video backup are only over wifi, app updates are only over wifi....check your settings. Another recent gotcha is Facebook and videos. LOTS of people are posting videos on Facebook and they automatically download and play UNLESS you turn them off. That can eat up your data in a hurry if you are on FB regularly.

Can't find solution to back up error -402653081, can anyone help?

Was trying to update and backup an iPod touch. Received an error message stating error occurred during back up -402653081. Can anyone help with this?

susanthehuman said in macrumors.com:
"I started removing my apps in batches (like the person above, I was unable to tell which app was in process when the backup failed). I managed to remove all non-apple apps from the device - and all apple apps that had not been in the device on delivery - and the backup still failed with the above error.
Then I power cycled it - I had done this at the beginning of the problem, with no success, but when I power cycled it after all the app removals guess what, it worked.
Sadly, by that point I had pretty much wiped everything anyway by removing the apps, so I'm basically starting over. Such is life. But at least it works, and the features are nifty."
That's probably not the ideal solution but at least it worked

Easy solution for connecting Zen Touch to P

Hi,
I'm a Mac user, when I want to connect my Zen Touch to any Mac I used "xnjb" a small freeware (.7Mb) that I could run directly from my USB key; It work great, install nothing on the computer and could upload or download any kind of files between the zen and the computer.
I try to find a similar solution for PC without success, I even try to install "JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.EXE" on a computer friend; this not the ideal solution because it install something on his computer and even with that installation the window explorer see a USB device but can't read it.
Is some one have a solution similar to what I used on Mac?
Cheers,
Luc

Hi Mosey,
I don't want the new firmware because my Zen touch work good with the old one and the Mac software for the Zen are not supporting the new firmware yet,
Do you have a solution working with the old firmware, even if it's a third party one.
Cheers,
Luc

How does one avoid co-channel interference on dot11a solutions in EMEA ?

When deploying wireless access points on dot11b/g, co-channel interference can be minimized by appropriate manual choice of channel numbers across the physical site.
In the US, the same methodology applies for dot11a solutions, where manual frequency selection for an AP is an option.
However, Here in EMEA, with compulsory DFS for dot11a, there appears to be no manual control at all on channel selection.
The default behaviour as I understand it - is for an AP to pick a random channel during interface initialization, and then if no radar detected, continue to use that channel.
(This has hit us on one solution, where four APs in neighbouring rooms at a client site selected the same channel on startup - causing significant co-channel interference!)
So how does one avoid co-channel interference on dot11a solutions in EMEA ?
Do wireless LAN controllers (with thin APs) have an option to preselect dot11a channels before the DFS listen check ? (Rather than just a random choice)
The IDEAL solution, would be for Cisco to add the following option to its IOS syntax :-
Interface dot11radio1
Dfs band 2 3 4 block
Channel 36 preferred
Adding a preferred keyword option would allow co-channel interference to be avoided by design, whilst still allowing a DFS check to prevent wireless interference.
If I wanted to pursue the inclusion of this new option into AP IOS, what would be the best method in tackling this?

I don't have an answer for you but I do have a question. I have been researching the issue of which channels in the 2.4 band are permitted according to law in the various countries in Europe. We have offices in Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands and England and I was wondering which channels we are permitted to use. Do you know or could you point me to a document I could read?

Catalog pricing challenge (idml, xml, javascript solution?)

Greetings,
I have a very large challenge that i desperately need help with.
I am working on a 1000+ page catalog with over 30,000 products in it. The pages come to our studio from a master database much like the example image I have inserted below ---> and inline list of product names, images, Specs and Tables. We then apply formatting and arrange the items into a paginated layout. Basic InDesign stuff.
The problem comes at the end (After pagination of 1000+ pages). These files do not come in with final pricing and we then need to update it to reflect the current pricing for the items. We have been using a plugin that interfaces with our database to flow in pricing and it has worked O.K.(we have had many bugs along the way). We recently updated our database software and the ID plugin that goes with it and have lost the functionality to update pricing (UGGGGHHHH, they are "working on it") which renders this very expensive product useless. : ( sad face
We have researched a large number of 3rd party solutions (plugins, software, etc.) to change/enhance our workflow but unfortunately all of them have trouble interfacing with our database software and cannot be implemented without a very large, pricey and time consuming conversion. (trust me, I have done over 15 demos of all the major plugins and services, small to large)
My solution/workaround for this problem of updated pricing for 30,000+ products perhaps could be a simple solution that goes like this:
1. Receive ID CS6 files.
2. Complete pagination of IDCS6 files.
3. Export .idml for paginated files.
4. Export a mirrored IDCS6 file from the database with all the same data, images, tables, etc. with updated pricing.
5. Export .idml from mirrored file.
6. Convert both .idml files to .zip files and replace the .xml containing the Story Data (Located at Catalog_Paginated.zip\XML\Stories) with the exported Story data from the mirrored files .zip package
(Located again at Catalog_Mirrored.zip\XML\Stories).
7. Convert paginated files .zip back to .idml and open in IDCS6 which should now have the new Story data and in turn updated pricing.
I have tried this and in short I get a file that is hung up and will not open. Keep in mind that i do not do all 30,000 products in one ID file. They are exported in chunks of 20 to 30 products. This works perfectly on a small scale document such as in my attached example pic, but has trouble with a large file with more complex product data and tables.
This is where i need help. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Am I simply replacing the wrong .xml data in the .idml/.zip file? Is there a JavaScript solution to update/replace the .xml data?
I feel strongly that the robust data offered in the .idml format (perhaps in conjunction with a scripting solution) can offer an ideal solution in this problem as oppose to pursuing a costly and time consuming transfer to a new plugin/software solution.
I have some help from a very talented (and very busy) team of developers working on a JavaScript solution but I am pursuing this .idml solution myself and REALLLLLLY NEED HELP as we are falling behind in production as we speak.
In short, this should be simple. What am i doing wrong?

lazycarpenter
I oversee the catalog production for a major autoparts distributor here in the midwestern United States. Our catalog is 886 pages including an index. If you are looking for price updating for InDesign go look at this product called AutoPrice:
http://www.meadowsps.com/site/details/autoprice_detail.htm
What you might find unique with this product is the batch processing feature and reporting..In certain cases the reports this software generates has proven invaluable for for my team. If you say your catalog is 1000 pages you could easily update this in or around an hours time (via the batch processing feature). We've used AutoPrice since the dark days when Quark dominated the industry..probably around 15 years. This is also available for CS6 as you mention above. If you do look at this program it would be interesting to know how it turned out for your dilema. Good Luck!

Looking for good firewall/router solution

Hi.
Im setting up a network and im wondering wich type of device i should use. The question is if i should use a firewall and a layer 3 switch for inter VLAN routing or if i should use a router solution with built-in firewall (like zone-based) and just layer 2 switches.
Demands on the equipment:
NAT
Some QoS (dont really know on what level of complexity its going to demand, proberbly very low, just some form of QoS)
Firewall solution
Cost balancing or something between two Internet connections. So that traffic running on one can jump over i case of connection failing.
4 gigabit interfaces (RJ45 should work but if i can get better for reasonable price im going with it).
Hoping to get som input on this matter.
Regards Tommy Svensson

Tommy,
An ideal solution for what your looking for would be either the rv120, wrvs4400n, or Sa500 series router and possibly an SG300 series switch in layer 2 mode. This will allow the router to cover the vlan setup and intervlan routing if need be. The switch will allow you to configure qos and you can trust the qos coming into the router on the lan side.
The other option you could get gigibit router and put the sg300 series switch in layer 3 mode and let it handle the vlans and qos at that point. The only thing about this setup, any router that is gigibit we have will be able to facilitate vlans and inter-vlan routing.
Hope this gave you some ideas as to designing the network.

Videio,Data, Voice solution.

We are going for a new office , we have selected category 6 cable. We want a recommendation of switches from your side.
We are planning to go for VoIP in future. And we may want to upload
videos from our project location to our head office projector via internet/ISDN line .
We already have 3550 XL with 24 port. Totally we need 100-150 points.
which is the ideal solution.with less latency,lost etc.

Cat 6500 will be an Ideal product for voice and data for your need. Enterprise IOS will suit your need.

Ipad + macbook air = ideal tablet pc

First, let me just say that I am not sure where the best place is to post suggestions, so I'm just posting it here. If there is a more appropriate place, let me know.
I have enjoyed using my iPad, however I also find myself frequently lugging around my laptop for work and games. An ideal solution for me (as well as some of my friends, and therefor the entire population of the planet) would be a full PC in the form of an iPad w/ touchscreen, with a full OS, much larger screen (17 inches), and a way to prop the tablet up for use as a monitor when I want to use a keyboard and mouse. Judging from the thinness of the macbook air, this seems like a very reasonable evolution of the PC, and it seems that Apple is in a prime position to once again revoultionize the laptop market, in a much more serious way than the iPad.
This is not a new idea of course, but I thought I would still show my support, as I would spend up to $3000 for a reasonably powerful tablet pc. Does anyone alse agree?

[SOLVED] Lightweight solution for automating Javascript

Recently, I wrote a Python script with Selenium; the ONLY function of selenium was to "click" a Javascript button on a page since, as far as I know, no other Python library will allow for this. This script runs fine on a normal desktop, but it seems that using Firefox/Iceweasel is too resource-intensive on my Pi board, the Chrome drivers don't work (even the ones which claim to be built for ARM), and I don't know of any alternative webdriver that Selenium could use.
Is anyone familiar with effective, lightweight solutions to Javascript automation? It's important to me because it makes finding job opportunities a lot easier; and, I'm pretty annoyed that, for all the effort I've put into this, a single button continues setting me back two steps for every step forward.
Last edited by apolyonn (2014-04-29 16:39:01)

After running across this article, I was able to solve this issue to my needs by using PhantomJS 1.9 (use at LEAST 1.9, otherwise selenium won't be able to access the GhostDriver) as my webdriver with Selenium. As this is running on my Pi board, I'm using this precompiled armv6l version. It isn't the most ideal solution, but it certainly is a far more effective; with PhantomJS, the whole program takes ~25 second to run, as opposed to the ~4 minutes that it took for Firefox to do the same process -- and, on a normal pc, the script takes only a few seconds to run, as opposed to the ~20 seconds required by Firefox.
I don't have the know-how to do anything more effective (and, to my knowledge, I've exhausted any other resource), so I'll accept this as a solution.

Backup solutions for Mac environment

What are people using to backup their Xserves? I manage four Xserves and one IBM server. We have about 600GB of storage. I've been using an Exabyte 1U 1x10 library with the 320 drive. The software is Retrospect running off one of the Xserves.
I back up five times a week using two tapes per session but I'm omitting about 250GB of data. I'd prefer something that would also work with the IBM server.
I am NOT a trained IT person.
Thanks.

And if you really must:

Although I would steer you clear of Restrospect unless it's on the Windows platform. I think most of the veteran users of this site would probably agree? Having said that there are some who have no problems with it. Who knows for you it might be the 'ideal' solution? However I have to ask: "If your data is precious to you do you want to risk it?" For me it's too unreliable when it comes to a restore. Something any Backup Strategy should include. Additionally there have problems with it since Roxio took it over - Scripts disappearing and media being lost etc.
I've not tried all of the ones listed and no doubt there may well be others. The ones I have tried I've had no problems with - NetVault and BRU. In some environments and depending on the circumstances I've had no problems with TimeMachine.
+"I'd prefer something that would also work with the IBM server"+
You could look at this another way? Purchase or Install BackupExec or Veritas or any one of the myriad backup software available for the platform and install on your Windows Server. Backup your Mac-based data either as a mapped network drive or by using the applications client utility - assuming there's one available for the software you eventually decide on?

Customer has 2 data centers that about 20 miles apart have a P2P link between the D.C and a backup WAN link as well
My question is
If customer wants HA or redundancy across both the D.C, how do I design the solution
Can I just double the quantity in the VM and replicate all the components in the other D.C ?
Please let me know what is the ideal solution to achieve the HA.
I referred the SRND BUT, I am unable to get what I need
ashwin (from egain) response was "Yes, it will be equivalent to doing a new deployment in DC2. You will also need to setup database replication jobs between the SQL DB of DC1 and that of DC2. This is a standard Microsoft procedure. Plus, when DC1 goes down, DC2 must be brought up manually – procedure called cold standby. This deployment is outside of the main product-supported deployments, because of additional factors such as SQL replication, cold standby steps, etc, so more often than not, will involve eGain PS engagement."
My biggest concren is that if I place the componenst across two D.C is that even a supported model. I don't want the customer to deploy an unsupported model . Please recommed the right architecture. I have attcahed the arch diagram & blade mapping as well
