Interesting documentary

There's an interesting documentary about Macbook over at the bit bag. Worth checking out if you're into that kind of thing.

The second one is a videocast of the unboxing and initial startup. Exciting.

Among the questions...
1) Are you aware that Oracle has desupported 8.1.7? Any plans to migrate to a more recent version?
2) What edition-- standard or enterprise?
3) How big is the database? How much redo does it generate?
4) Is the database in ARCHIVELOG mode?
5) Will you be able to create a network connection between the new server and the old server? If so, what sort of bandwidth will you have?
6) How much effort are you willing to expend to reduce the downtime window?

  • Workflow Documentary Film

    I am currently setting up a documentary film with about 100 hours of footage so far. The footage is mainly shot on Canon 5D, T4i, and C300. There is also some footage from iPad, iPhone and we will be adding news clips of various formats.
    One of the reasons I love Premiere is that you can edit in various formats and importing is a piece of cake. However, I am concerned that down the line if we have to work with a production house on the audio and color correction of the movie, if we will have problems. The post houses that we have talked with often have an Avid workflow and then use DaVinci for color correction.
    I suppose the big question is, if I start editing natively in the formats in which we shot, is it going to be very difficult in the end when a post house wants to take the timeline into Da Vinci and are there other considerations I haven't even thought of.
    I know this is kind of a loaded question, but if it can't be answered here, I'd love to be directed to a resource for this information. I am recommending we user Premiere on this project because I love working with it and I think it is more advanced than anything out there. But I don't want to end up wrong at the end when we have to bend over backwards to "online" it or color correct it.
    Thanks in advance.

    yeah, that's pretty loaded up question... and you'll get many different answers. I don't know anyone who's done that mix of footage for eventual move to outside color grade and so on.
    Many will say edit native no matter what it is , simply ( as you know ) " it can be done ". I don't personally like that mental state myself but I am not experienced or pro at this. Like, if your 5d stuff is mov h264 you edit that native , and if you're on pc OS don't to to cineform or something.. or on mac to pro res ...I have no clue what you got to work with ( version of adobe or platform )
    I'm shooting nikon d800 which on cards is mov h264 but got a little ninja to get avid 422 out of HDMI.. if I didn't do THAT I'd probably go to cineform for my pc using cs6.
    So you got a lot going on ...mixing all that stuff etc... and the edits  you do and effects etc have something to do with the overall quality of your renders ( if you do any ) and your export ( if you do or dont use renders )
    I'd be interested in what you find out and hope to follow this thread to learn what YOU learn...
    I guess you have to work backwards a little bit.. like, what will the ultimate export be for the davinci and then the delivery ?.. and whether you suddenly find out some bug nobody discovered before you got crazy !

    Dear Sap Gurus,
    Under Prepard interest on arrears calculation there are 4 options available 1. open and all cleared items, 2.open items and items cleared with payment, 3.no open items -all cleard items, 4.no open items -only items cleared with a payment. My doubt is When and where we have to use these options. Could you explain with examples.
    Thanks in advance
    Thanks&Regards,

    Usuallu we select Open and All Cleared Items
    Remaining options purely based on the client interest calculation requirements.

  • Interest calculation on Open items and cleared items

    Dear Experts
    I am trying to do needful configuration for interest indicator on which interest can be calculated for open items and cleared items as well.  But,  system is calculating interest for open items properly, but not calculating interest on cleared items with same interest indicator,  I am repeatedly getting error "interest calculation indicator is not compatible with this type of interest calculation"
    Is it possible to use same interest indicator for open line items and cleared line items of customer?
    If possible, request you share the needful config steps to do same.
    points will be awarded for usful reply.
    Best regards,
    S. Habib Pasha.

    Hello Habib,
    depending on the requests you can setup a item interest calculation or a balance interest calculation "Define calculation types".
    IIC: check settings (item selection, all cleared items, only items with payment, no cleared items) "Prepare item interest calculation"
    I guess you have setup the item interest calculation - maybe you have mixed some entries with BAIC.
    Check in "Prepare account balance interest calculation" whether you have entries with the indicator you want to use.
    At least check your entries in "Define time-based Terms" If you have entries with Balance account interest calculation the system gives even an error.
    Hope this is helpfull.
    Best regards

  • Dunning interest calculation

    Hi All,
    When I checked table MHND, the dunning interest is calculated in such a way that it doesn't consider the previous dunned date.
    Meaning :
    Dunning ran on 12-01-09 interest calculated is 500.00 ( 2 docuemnst considerded from bsid as seen from table MHND )
    Dunning ran on 15-01.09 interest calculated is 500.00 ( same as above)
    Ideally for Dunning ran on 15-01.09 , it should not calculate interest since on 12th it is done..!!
    Now queries:
    1. Where can i see these interest calculated during dunning run ( any report ? ) other than table..? In std SAP, is this interest
        calculated and shown only in the dunning letter ..? Does it have any other financial impact on outstanding..?
    2. when I try to run the single dunn. notice, and see sample print out it gives message as
    Account D 0004298846 is blocked by dunning run 20090319 MDUN1
    why is it so and how to resolve..?
    thanks,
    Neha

    can some one provide some  advice on this..?
    thanks,

  • S_ALR_87012178 Report -Issue Related to Interest calculations

    Hi,
    When we run a customer open item analysis S_ALR-87012178  we see that there looks to be interest for overdue balances showing on the report. It doesn't appear to be assigning the interst to the customer, but I wanted to see why this was here and if we have the ability to assing interest to balances. And also where you would turn this on and off in the system or for a customer.
    Kindly adivce me on this issue.i am confused because i didnot understand what they are asking.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can go to F.99 in order to see all the reports for Customers.
    Hope you will find the best suitable report.
    When you are using "Drill down reports" do not forget to select
    "Object list (more than one lead column)" this would give you a option to sort them the line items as you want.
    Just for your information: SAP1 is the transaction code for all the reports in SAP.

  • Interesting scenario- user facing error while deleting a sales order

    Hello All,
    I have one interesting scenario and want feedback from your side as soon as possible
    Scenario-
    One of my clients is facing a problem while deleting a sales order.
    the sales order he is trying to delete is the old order created in 2007.
    when i see the document flow the user has created the export order, then delivered it, invoiced and sent it to accounting, accounting document is also cleared. then he cancelled the invoice, reverse PGI and deleted the delivery. the status of the sales order system is showing is being processed. but please note in this case after reversing PGI and deleting a delivery the delivery document disappears from the document flow.
    document flow looks like this
    Order - 200004715                     Being processed
    invoice- 700005310                    completed
    accounting 700005311                 cleared
    Cancel Invoice 700005315            completed
    Accounting 700005316                 cleared
    Now, in 2008 user is trying to delete the sales order but he is unable to do the same. system is giving him message "unable to delete sales order because of subsequent document 70005310 (which is invoice number)"
    Can somebody please throw some light on this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    As fas as I know, this is standard system behaviour. The reason - you have done PGI (which has created a material document as well as accounting doc) and invoiced & reversed (which again has created accounting documents & rversal documents). All these documents are referencing the sales order.
    If you delete sales order, sales order number gets deleted from VBAK /VBAP tables.
    Hence, in relational data base scenario (meanin SAP in this context), deletion of sales order after creation of subsequent documents is not feasible.
    Hope it clarifies the issue.
    Regards

    Hello All...
    Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
    I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the replies.  Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems.  I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work.  I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic.  When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones.  This actually helped.  I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems.  I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac.  I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed.  Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else. 
    If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio. 

  • I'm in cycle mode, and 'merge' is clicked in preferences. However, when I record, my previous track data keeps getting overwritten. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong. Interestingly, I can still see the data in the region.
