KVM to Link Two ThinkStations

Looking for a relatively cheap KVM switch to link two ThinkStations (and maybe a ThinkPad) at home. Microsoft’s free Mouse Without Borders is perfect for sharing a keyboard and mouse but not a monitor (as far as I know).
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

without knowing more about your keyboard, mouse, and display, it's impossible to make an exact recommendation.   there are a million KVMs out there as well, making the choice even more difficult.
a few things you'll want to consider are if you want it to switch via hardware or hotkey, what inputs you'll need (USB, serial, DVI, DP, HDMI, PS/2, etc.), the resolution you need to support, and how much you want to spend.
these two links might be a good place to help decide what you need:

also keep in mind that many monitors have dual inputs and the ability to swap inputs by pressing a button on the front.   if you only need two systems on one monitor and it can switch inputs, MS MWB + two monitor inputs might still be a viable solution.

  • Linking two ODS objects using a multiprovider

    Hello Gurus,
    I need to link two ODS objects and both are having 3 common characteristics and the relationship between the two objects are one to many.
    My questions would be....
    1)When the relationship is one to many can I set it up in the multiprovider to sum it up and show in the report?
    2)I have 5 other charaterstics that I need to report(Slice and dice) on, but these are not common ones to both ODS objects. Is it possible for the user to get the report based on these charaterstics also? Or do I need to make sure that these 5 also exist in both DOS objects?
    Thank you,
    DM

    Hi Sh,
    Thank you very much for your reply. But I have few concerns.
    1)One to many relationship will not have any effect on the data linking since the multiprovider clubs the key figures on common characteristics. I tried this on the system and it worked.
    2)The problem would be not having similar characteristics on both infoproviders. So if I want to report on the chars individually it will have a problem( Will come as non assigned values)
    But the documentation says the multiprovider supports Homogenous and Heterogeneous cases. Please refer the following link.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/52/1ddc37a3f57a07e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
    I am not sure what I can do now....whether to get all the characteristics in both infoproviders by enhancing the them. Or is there another way?
    And lastly the scenario I am looking at is billing and cost of goods. So I might find records in cost of goods which may not have corresponding records in billing.(There can be goods in stock which need to be billed)The problem would be the way multiprovider link records(union) so it will have all the records from both sides even if they do not correspond to each other.
    Let me know what you think.

  • Is there a way to link two FrameMaker 12 books with shared content into the same RoboHelp 11 file?

    This one might require some back story.
    I'm working at a company with roughly 60 business units that will each be getting their own emergency response procedures (.FM files compiled into a single FrameMaker .book file for their department). I then want to link all of these books to a single RoboHelp so that when it comes time to publish all of these plans into WebHelp menus I can do that with a single batch generate/publish.
    My problem is that some of the FM files within the books are shared (maybe two or more departments are at the same location or all of them share the same corporate level plans) so that when I try to link two books with a shared FM file it throws an error.
    Is there away to allow multiple copies of a FM file to exist in a single RoboHelp? Or is there a better solution to the task at hand?
    Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated as I am still a moderate beginner with Frame and RoboHelp.
    ---Corey---
    P.S. Just to complicate things this will all be done via SharePoint so books and FM files live there, and then the RoboHelp output will be published there.

    I think you’re looking at creating a merged RH project – one parent project that subsumes all the linked FM to RH child projects – read up on merged help on Peter’s site (grainge.org)

  • How do you link two audio clips to one video clip?

    Hi guys,
    I want to think multiple audio clips to one video clip and aint know how to do it! I found this page on Adobe knowledge base:-
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b 1038518aef7-7f40.html
    It says you can do it but I don't think it explains how? Can anyone provide me with the simple steps required to link two audio clips to one video clip? Many thanks.

    Do you mean manual syncing? I've been reading this thread about workaround, which aren't working for me: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/21236
    But the question they are asking is the same one I am asking. Isn't this a typical situation, having multiple mics for one camera? For example, if someone filmed a concert with one camera but used both the camera audio, and ambient mic, and a mix from the board, then that would be 3 audio tracks with 1 video track. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm finding it hard to believe that FCPX isn't equipped to edit this way. There must be some way to get one video clip (with reference audio) to sync with four audio tracks.

  • Is it possible to link two or more accounts without merging?

         Is it possible to link two or more accounts without merging? For example: give access for apple id [email protected] (obviously fake and is used by John) to apple id [email protected] (also obviously fake and is used by Rose). This would only allow access from one consenting party to another, for temporary sharing.
         The accounts would be temporarily linked/paired in the same manner as a bluetooth device (device A shows the user a password to input into device B) except John receives password abc123 and Rose receives password xyz789. they exchange passwords and can use this to do multiple things, such as; pool money to buy a game, a movie, or a song album, or they could share an app or two with each other.
         Is there any feature in apple remotely like this in any way? If so please let me know how I can find or use this feature.
         If not, I would recommend implementing this in the future, if not the near future. There are a lot of people that would use it, and it could allow app designers to make more money, because people would be able to buy something by pooling their money. If you think otherwise, ask anybody who lives in an apartment with three other people, because that is the only way they can afford it.

    You cannot merge or link accounts.
    Sorry.

  • Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

    Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

    Thanks Tom -
    I created two "sequences". They are currently listed individually in the "project library". Now I want to take sequence "B" and attatch it in it's entirety to the end of sequence "A" - forming one long sequence.
    I have tried to drag sequence "B" and drop it into "A's" timeline. I have tried to creat a compound clip. I'm either missing something - or - you can create a compound "clip" or a compound "event" - but perhaps you cannot link to "projects" together.
    Does this help descibe my problem?
    Thanks again.

  • Linking two imacs?

    I know this has probably already been discussed at one point or the other but I need some information.
    I have an Intel iMac and a G5 iMac that both have Firewire ports. I do a lot of photography work and have many app open at once. I would like run Photoshop on one machine and Aperture on the other. All I need to do is be able to drag and drop from one computer to the other my image files. Is there any way to link two iMacs to do this. Obviously there is no way to control both computers with the same mouse and keyboard but I would like to at least be able to move files from one to the other with out having to do it over a network (router with ethernet). I just want to hook both computers together with one cable and drag and drop from one computer to the other. Any suggestions?

    Target Disk Mode (TDM) effectively turns the Mac that is in TDM mode into an external hard drive for the other Mac. This will certainly allow you to drag & drop files & folders between the two Macs ... but only one of the Macs will be usable while the other basically becomes a hard drive connected to it.
    It sounds like you want both Macs running as normal, but you want to share files/folders between them. And you don't want to do it via ethernet for some reason. Why? Networking would work fine.
    You can directly connect the 2 Macs via an ethernet cable or via a FireWire cable and network them together that way, no router is needed. In both cases you would have to turn on File Sharing in the Mac whose files you want to share; and log on to it from the other Mac via Go > Connect to Server. (If you use FireWire, you also have to set FW as your preferred network in System Preferences > Networking; also on the Firewire pane, set Configure IPv4 = DHCP.)

  • Linking two Queries but the values are corrupted

    I have started linking two queries from the same Cube.  The invoiced value from the pre-query shows the correct value from SAP.  When I use this prequery into another query and look at the same invoiced value key figure, the result has changed and is not correct anymore.  Please advise what I am doing wrong.
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Ray

    Hi Bhanu, the replacement path is on the Dimension Sales Document.  I have tried to use the same variable on the Key Figure Net Value (Invoice).  I also tried for a later attempt to use a different Key Figure in the prequery as net weight, just in case they added together.
    Am I right that I should be using the same key figure Net Value (Invoice) in both queries?
    Thanks

  • Link two reports using parameters

    Hi,
    We are using business object XI.
    I am trying to link two reports using parameters. I cannot use subreport option becuase inside the subreport I should link another report too. So,
    Report 1(High level summary)
    Report 2(Middle level summary)
    Report 3(Detail level)
    I tried to use hyperlink option and used following string.
    http://<server_name>/<Virtual Directory>/object.rpt?prompt0={?param1}&prompt1={?param2}
    Here is my question.
    1. Server name: Does it include port number??
    2. Virtual Directory: I am absolutely lost. I tried the "frsinput" directory the actual rpt file is storing. It is not working.
    Do you have general path??
    3. Parameters: I have 5 parameters to pass. 3 of them are Strings and the rest are DateTime.
    Basically, I need any tutorial about this kinds of things. The tutorial I have got only discribe link like "www.yahoo.com"
    BTW, is this even possible solution??

    Hi,
    I am trying to link two reports in the crystal report designer->deploy to the server->show in the DHTML viewer.
    When I create a URL from report A, it looks like "&" disapears. For example, I created a hyper link from report A using formula,
    http://server:port/........openDocument.jsp?sDocName=reportB&sType=rpt&paramName1="Trim(ToText({?param1},"#####"))"&paramName2="+Trim(ToText ({?param2},"#######"))
    But when I see the actual URL, all the "&" disappears so it looks like
    http://server:port/........openDocument.jsp?sDocName=reportBsType=rptparamName1="Trim(ToText({?param1},"#####"))"paramName2="+Trim(ToText ({?param2},"#######"))
    No wonder it is not working.
    I guess I need special protection for "&" sign. Do you know any?

  • Query for Linking Two Tables without Reference

    Hi Folks,
    Good Day!
    I have this dilemma on how to link two tables without a reference. In the Business Partner Master Data, there is a field for the Territory which is from the table OTER. This OTER focuses on its description. Once you have added the particular Territory for that Business Partner, it is being stored in the Territory field of the BP right? Our client wants to have an automated way of searching for the Business Partner's Profit Center in creating a Sales Order wherein it is the same as the Business Partner's Territory. The Profit Center is from the table OPRC.
    When I create a Sales Order, after I have entered the Business Partner/Customer Code, the Profit Center should have the value of the Profit Center Code wherein it is the Business Partner's Territory. My query will go like this:
    Enter the BP/Customer Code automatically the Profit Center code where Profit Name = BP's Territory.
    OTER and OCRD don't have connections. How can it be?
    I'm thinking of retrieving the Territory first before the Profit Center but can you suggest of any other way?
    Thank you much!
    Regards,
    Fringe

    Hi Fringe,
    Okay, I already understood your case here. I presume your configuration as follows:
    OTER (Territory)
    territryID - descript
    1 - Philippine
    2 - Indonesia
    3 - Germany
    OPRC (Cost Centre)
    PrcCode - PrcName
    25 - Philippine
    33 - Indonesia
    47 - Germany
    Was above illustration correct? Then, you could use this formatted search in Cost Centre / Dimension field in Sales Order rows
    SELECT PrcCode FROM OPRC WHERE PrcName=(
    SELECT TOP 1 descript FROM OTER T0
    INNER JOIN OCRD T1 ON T0.territryID=T1.Territory
    WHERE T1.CardCode=$[OCRD.CardCode.0])
    However, I suggest you use a little bit different approach here. Since you can't define Territory Code / Territory ID (you could only type the Territory name, Philippine etc.), why don't you standardize Territory name with Cost Centre code? Let say, you define Philippine as PHI, Indonesia as INA, Germany as DEU and so on. Therefore, user can read the Cost Centre or more precisely Distribution Rules in Sales Order form in more familiar way.
    OTER (Territory)
    territryID - descript
    1 - PHI
    2 - INA
    3 - DEU
    OPRC (Cost Centre)
    PrcCode - PrcName
    PHI - Philippine
    INA - Indonesia
    DEU - Germany
    When FMS worked in Sales Order document, your user will read PHI instead of 25, should be more familiar to them. With that being said, you could use simpler FMS
    SELECT descript FROM OTER T0
    INNER JOIN OCRD T1 ON T0.territryID=T1.Territory
    WHERE T1.CardCode=$[OCRD.CardCode.0]
    You only need to maintain consistency between Territory Name and Cost Centre code. Just my two cents. Hope this help.

  • Can we link two business objects  in workflow?

    Dear All,
    Can we link two business objects  in workflow?My problem is that I have to take a standard BO for triggering my z workflow .But later  in one step  I am using BO which is Z as I am calling a standard Sap transaction in one of the method inside Zobject.
    Please let me know how to go for it .
    Kind Regards,
    Anshu Kumar

    Hi Anshu,
    You can use the standard BO as the BO for your workflow and trigeger the workflow from its event. To pass values from the standard BO to the custom BO used in the activity step, you need to do proper binding between the std and custom BO in the activity step.
    Do proper binding between event -> workflow -> task container.
    For assistance on binding in workflows refer to the followng links:

  • Linking two hierarchies

    <b>Can we link two hierarchies created in BW? </b>
    The scenario is: I have two separate hierarchies (i.e. H1 and H2). Both are in use by many queries. As per the specific requirement from my business user, I have to link H2 with H1 …means there is specific requirement in which H1 needs to have same hierarchy nodes as H2. But my user doesn’t want to maintain H2 at two separate locations. That is why we are looking if there is any solution using which we can link these two hierarchies.
    Any help will be <u><b>highly appreciated</b></u>.
    Regards,
    Kuldeep Joshi

    I appreciate your suggestion,
    But in my scenario, both hierarchies are not time-dependents and both are unbalanced. To implement your suggestion, I have to convert my hierarchies into time-dependent.
    I won’t mind to try this approach, but it would be great help to me if you could elaborate your suggestion fully.
    Thanks,

  • Linking two video clips together

    I cannot find the way, how to link two video clips together so, that when moving one, the linked clip follows.
    Is there a way of doing that?
    The manual gives nothing with words: "linking video clips".
    Message was edited by: TRST

    You can't link video clips to each other. You can nest them. Put the two clips in a sequence the way you want them. Put the sequence with the two clips inside your master sequence. They will act as a single clip. That's the only way.
