Is Shake still relevant?

Now that there is the new Snow Leopard OS, and new Final Cut Studio, is Shake still relevant and a good product to work with?
I ask b/c I view my video work as mostly just a hobby and I wouldn't want to shell out the money to purchase Shake, only to find that it won't run well/at all with the newest software.

If your hobby includes world-class compositing, then Shake is an incredible bargain.
$500 for Shake vs. $4500 for Nuke.
It works on Leopard just fine.
(It works reasonably well on Snow Leopard,
but do you actually need Snow Leopard?)
On the other hand, if you are just learning about all aspects of video,
you'll have plenty to work with using the FCS package. In that case,
I would suggest you save your money and skip buying specialized
software for now.

Backup 3 v3.2, is it still relevant?

Hi
I have the Backup 3 application on my iMac, running Mountain Lion.
I am also using time machine.
I was in the Apple Store today (not with my iMac). I couldn't find the application on any of their machines. Their techncians were not familiar with the program.
Is Backup still relevant to use?

Hi
I would delete the oldest back ups first, but it depends on the size of the drive and the size of your hard disk.
look for full backups in there too delete the oldest if there is more than 1, however I would probably just format the drive, wiping it clean and do a fullbackup leaving the machine on overnight with sleep turned off in system preferences if it were me. Then in the morning everything you need is there!
If you want to hold onto some older files you no longer have but that has been backed up in the past, youll need to use time machine to locate those files, restore them and then do a full backup.
Kind Regards
Andrew

Is Enterprise Library still relevant?

I am going to port an old C++ application to C# and intend to replace the C++ custom written cross-cutting libraries with third party cross-cutting frameworks/libraries.   In particular, I have been reviewing the Enterprise Library
for the past week.   One issue that raises a significant red flag is that the version 6 of the Enterprise Library is not backwards compatible with version 5.   For example, a review of the developer guides from both versions shows that
the security, cashing and cryptography blocks found in version 5 have been removed in version 6.
I have not used the Enterprise Library before. But the lack of backwards compatibility alone seems to be a reason enough to avoid using Enterprise Library. That is, significant changes between versions would seem to make this library very impractical
to use.   So my question is the Enterprise Library still relevant/practical or would I be better off using other frameworks/libraries for crossing cutting issues (e.g.: FluentValidation, log4net)?

Hi
IB00,
Based on your description, you case related to Enterprise Library. I am afraid this is out of our support.
Visual C# forum is discuss and ask questions about the C# programming language, IDE, libraries,
samples, and tools.
For your issue, I would recommend you to ask in CodePlex. Here is a special forum for Enterprise Library.

Is Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 5 still relevant and usable?

Is Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 5 still relevant and usable? I bought it about four or five years ago and never started learning it, but would like to start learning editing now. Thanks.

That is the version I have. What formats can I work with in FCP 5.1. For example, can I edit movies from my Nikon Coolpix 7900 point and shoot that is about five years old? My Panasonic DV camera that is also about five or six years old? Will I be able to burn these types of footage to disc once edited and watch them on a DVD player. Thanks for your former replies.

NewGL Rollup still relevant or enhanced with Simple Finance?

Hi Gurus,
I am studying the implementation of Simple Finance and wonder whether the NewGL rollups are still relevant?
My requirement is to agregate, transform and control data before transfer to the consolidation plateform.
Do you know if there is any enhanced or new solution that can fulfill this requirement?
If I can use the same function, do you know if it has been developped on Hana DB and benefit from Hana capabilities?
I try to find detailed help documentation about Simple Finance (custo & functional) but I am not sure to find the good one, could you help me finding it.
Best regards
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
here is the link to the documentation for the Simple Finance add-on 1.0: http://help.sap.com/sfin100
For your requirement of aggregation and transformation prior to transfer into consolidation, we still recommend using the "classical" approaches of roll-up ledger, extraction to SAP Business Warehouse, or SAP Financial Information Management.
Best regards,

Does shake still work with OS X Yosemite?

I still use Shake extensively in my workflows. Does anyone know yet whether it will still work with Yosemite? If now what kinds for work around might there be?
All I have seen on it so far is this thread: no Shake 4 and Motion 4 support in Yosemite which feels inconclusive ATM.

Unfortunately, it most definitely does not. It gets moved to "/Incompatible Software", acquires a prohibitory symbol over the icon, and the Finder won't let you launch it. Attempting to start it from the command line results in a crash with an "Assertion failed" message. If there's a workaround for this, I haven't found it yet.
If you need Shake, don't upgrade to Yosemite. Sorry.

Value Objects still relevant in EJB 2.0?

I came across the concept of using Value Objects to get better performance from EJBs as they reduce the number of remote calls to invoke to retrieve object property values.
However, with the introduction of LocalHome and Local interfaces for EJB 2.0, is it still useful to have value objects to pass data around, typically between EJBs and the Controller (typically servlets/JSPs or session beans that implement business logic)?

Not so fast.
I wouldn't be so quick to get rid of VOs simply because local interfaces exist now. Keep in mind that using local interfaces is not always the right answer to your problem (since there are still situations where the client and server are not co-located within a given VM).
Also, there are times when the brittleness of your API should be considered. If a method takes many parameters, it is often benificial to pass a single VO as a paramater rather than multiple individual parameters. This really comes into play when methods are modified to take different arguments (e.g. adding a new argument).
Consider a method on a bean used to update a student's records for example.public StudentVO update(String firstName, String middleInitial, String lastName, int age, String ssn, String status) throws UpdateException; is much more brittle than public StudentVO update(StudentVO student) throws UpdateException;Consider what would happen if a design change makes GPA and gradeLevel part of a student's profile.
The second method's signature would remain the same. The signature of the first method however would now read public StudentVO update(String firstName, String middleInitial, String lastName, int age, String ssn, String status, float gpa, int gradeLevel) throws UpdateException; This change would "break" the calls made by any callers of this method. While there are pros and cons to this (as well as other ways to solve this issue, such as method overloading, etc.), it is something to consider when deciding whether a value object should be used in certain situations.
Hope this adds another point of view to the discussion.
Note: I'm using Value Object (VO), Data Transfer Object (DTO) and Transfer Object (TO) to me the same thing here.

Is Macbook Air still relevant? Should I go for refurbished Macbook Air (2014) or Pro (2014)??

Hi Friends,
I need your help in making the decision on Mac. I am buying a refurbished Mac. Here are the options before me:
1. 13' Macbook Air (2014). 4GB RAM, 256 GB SSD. Price: AUD 1179/-
2. 13' Macbook Pro (2014). 8GB RAM, 128 GB SSD. Price: AUD 1359/-
3. 13' Macbook Pro (2014). 8GB RAM, 256 GB SSD. Price: AUD 1569/-
My personal favorites are 1st and 3rd options (due to 256GB SSD). There is significant price gap between these two.
This would be my first Mac. I already have a 15 inch Windows Laptop with 4'th gen i5-4200 U CPU, 8GB RAM, 2GB GeForce GT 740M Graphics card, 1366*768 resolution. I am keeping the Windows laptop as well. So, I won't be using VMs or Boot-camp for now. I would use is mostly for light work, like - browsing, taking backup of iPhone, movies, photos, etc.
But I have following doubts.
A. Would Macbook Air be relevant in the market after launch of new retina Macbook?
B. Would 4GB of RAM be sufficient for next, say, three years?
C. Would the lack of retina display in MBA be a problem in future? (Personally, I did not find much difference (may be, my bad) for 13' screen.)
D. If I decide to go for MBP with 8 GB RAM, but only 128 GB SSD, would it be preferable over (4GB RAM with 256GB SSD of MBA) or (8GB RAM with 128GB SSD of MBP)?
E. Finally, What is your opinion after looking at above three options and their respective pricing?
Thanks a lot for your patience and help mates! Cheers!

Until a month ago my main computer was a 13" 2011 MBA (4GB w/ 256GB SSD) when I replaced it with a 13" 2015 MBP retina (8GB w/ 512GB SSD). The MBA is now my backup computer (and will remain my travel computer). I bought the MBPr when it became time to replace the Air due to the display pure and simple. My older eyes appreciate the incredibly clear display and the fact that changing between its default resolutions all result in crystal clear text. Using the Air for hours at a time, with some apps, my eyes became fatigued and while I could change the resolution for larger text, the text was fuzzy. The MBPr is a dream. However the Air is significantly lighter and thinner and much nicer to travel with. Were my eyes better I'd have chosen the 2015 Air.
I strongly recommend 8GB of RAM and a minimum of 256GB SSD. Depending on what software you use, 4GB will be sufficient now but three years down the road? I doubt it. Each new version of the OS has required more memory. With Mavericks (OS X 10.9) the 4GB was fine but with Yosemite I now see a moderate level of what Apple now calls memory pressure. That means my computer is now relying heavily on virtual memory. I suspect that with 10.11 and certainly 10.12 (or whatever Apple calls the next two versions of its OS) I'll have to change how I use the Air. In other words I won't be able to run 3-5 programs at a time which is how I prefer to work.

MacBook Pro 101 still relevant

What is the future of 2012 MacBook Pro MD 101 model (500 GB SATA/4GB RAM/ 3rd gen Core i5). Will future OS upgrades be available on it? Will they slow the machine down? Is this configuration still makes sense in investing. Please help

We are not official Apple insiders, so we have no way of knowing.
It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the exact model, size, exact time of year built, RAM installed and OS you're running.
Are you running Yosemite?
Personally I feel the i5 processor will still have a lot of life left. The older ones slowly ( In computer years that means every 6 months or so!) lose support and stop working w/ modern applications.
Case in point the early Core Duo machines.
The Core 2 Duo machines are currently doing ok.
Consider upping your RAM to 8 GB and installing an SSD.
Here's my early 2011 13" MBP w/ 8 GB RAM and a 120 GB SSD running Mavericks.

Is EPS a dying format or is it still relevant?

This is a question that was posed to me and I honestly didn't have a good answer. Many forums say that EPS is a dying format and you should just save your files as a PDF. I've created artwork from within Illustrator and have just save all my work as an EPS file. Although I know a PDF retains all the editing capabilities of the file, it just never occurred to me to save my vector artwork as a PDF. Any input on this subject would be appreciated. Thanks!
~Erick

With that said, why would I save a file as an ".ai" as oppose to a ".pdf"? Wouldn't it be better to save all vector files as PDF's as not to be redundant?
Which are better ai files or pdfs for vector files?
These are all good questions. Because they've been asked and answered many times, I'm going to point you to a couple of archived discussions to get you started. Pay particular attention to contributions by forum regular James Talmage (JET) and ex-Adobe-Employee-Illustrator-guy Mordy Golding.

From Mordy's site:

Oh... and by the way, I'm probably as "old school" as you'll find among participants here. The EPS format has saved my bacon on many occasions in the past (e.g., when Quark was the preeminent page layout application). But even back then, I understood that native formats were frequently supersets of more generic formats -- hence, my first choice for saving my work was always .ai over .eps, .doc over .rtf, etc. Today, with advanced features like smart objects, it just makes more sense to me to use the native format wherever possible.

Consultant's Cookbook for WebIC relevant to CRM 2007?

We will be installing CRM 2007. I'm looking for a good IC Webclient cookbook, but the only document I found on SAP's site is Consultant's Cookbook For IC for CRM 5.0 SP03. This appears to have alot of good information. Can anyone tell me if this information is still relevant for CRM 2007? I couldn't find any similar type cookbook for CRM 2007.

Pam,
The cookbook will give you a "sneak peak" of the underlying technologies, however you will need to get the cookbook for the new release. The best way to do this is purchase the 2006s OKP material from SAP. Most of the material in the 2006s cookbook will apply for 2007 with some differences between the releases.
The good part of the 50 cookbook is you will see how some of the underlying components of the new UI were built. When you compare how the 40/50 release works with the new one, you will be asking why didn't they make this easy soon.
The best part of the new 52 compared to the older technology, is that you don't have to edit HTML to configure the screen layouts like in 40. You still have all the concepts of the context with nodes and the whole GENIL/BOL layers.
Take care,
Stephen

SRM MDM Catalog - SRM OCI mapping relevant for Contract Catalogs

Hi,
According to the scenario we would like to implement, the contract items are distibuted to a catalog and later on they are recalled within other contracts. In this case to do OCI mapping in SRM (customizing activity?) is still relevant? Is this activity necessary for all catalogs internal or external?
Is this what is enabling to dispaly the catalog within SRM transaction like Process Contracts for all type of catalogs?
Thank you in advance,
Edited by: Gaia K. on Nov 18, 2008 6:16 PM

Hi,
Thanks for your input,
I did unmapping between OCI fields and MDM fields at OCI Mapping and but i have selected unmapped fields at all Views.
Now when i login and checked at my catalog side, i can able to see the data for that fields, which i have unmapped at OCI Mapping.
My question is :
1) Why this fields are getting values , when i Unmapped at OCI mapping Level?
2) If this fields are getting values at catalog irrespective of mapping/unmapping at OCI Mapping level, then what is the actual use of OCI mapping?
3) where exactly adding of Custom fields at OCI side is helpful?
Your solution will be rewarded in points
Thanks
