Macro syntax for non-negativity

Hi,
Could some one copy past the syntax for non-negativity like this
If KF1 < 0, then KF1 = 0 else KF1
This condition needs to be applied on top of existing macro for KF1 that does some arithmatic whose result could be < 0.
would appreciate if you copy paste the steps.. that you may already have in any of your macro books.
I also take this opportunity to request the macro experts to compile a wiki document on macro syntax.. A piecemeal approach would also do without relating to WHERE such a macro could be used. I find this learning the macro syntax by trial and error a rather unproductive and painful experience.
If some of you could volunteer lets build a fantastic reference document on the macros where everyone can contribute and come with with something really useful.
The final list can then be classified into artithmatical, conditional, control, abap macros. A brief description alongside each macro and some expert comments on possible application can be later expanded. newer and alternate ways of realzing the same macro creatively and in lesser steps could be regularly appended. I could moderate if such a thing is correct and agreeable

Loknath

I cant have more than 10 questions open. so closing this though there arent any responses

  • Syntax for the macro - request suggestions...

    Dear All, Good morning..
    I request your help in craking the below issue..
    <i><b>Description:</b></i>
    Calculation of a KF based on the following formula:
    <b>Dlr Inv(M01/2007)= Max( ( sp.plan(m01/2007)+Dlr Inv(M12/2006) ) ; Threshold Dlr Inv(M01/2007) )- Un constrained sales( M01/2007)</b>
    If you observe in the above calculation, for calculating current month Dlr Inv, we are using previous months Dlr Inv..OK.
    <i><b>Requiremet:</b></i> Calculation of the above , plus, the above calculation may produce a negative number...So, when there is negative number generated in the curent month calculation, i should make it to zero, display zero and carry  that zero for next months calculation...
    I wrote a macro, which is doing above calculation perfectly(as it is simple )...except carrying zero to next month's calculation...As long as the above calculation is generating positive value, there is no issue at all..
    <i><b>Issue:</b></i> In some cases , the above formula results a negative number, in that case, i am able to make it zero,  and able to carry that zero for next calculation, if the negative is generated for the first column..problem is , if there is any negative generated in between,let us say, for  June/2006,  then its making it zero, but that zero is displayed for the subsequent months from there onwards, irrespective of  the result is positive or negative..If i chage any number at that period for any KF, and execute macro, then it is working..Here i used auxiliary row...
    I have written 3  macros with diff logic...If you want i can post them again ....
    I would like to know the following things regarding macro syntax..
    <b>1)Can we go for a condition after a result in the same step...?
    </b>
    <b>Example: 
    Step:(M01/2007-M12/2007)(12 iterations)
    Row 1= Row2 -Row 3
    IF
    Row 1 < 0
    Row 1 = 0
    ENDIF</b>
    If i execute IF condition in another step,It won't serve my purpose because, it comes to second step after completing all iterations in first step...I want , <b>IF</b> condtion to be checked after the first iteration..
    In my case, macro successfully activated  but no result for that condition..It is executed only up to result for the first time when i tested in Utilities--->test Macros..in the macro builder..if i execute it for the second time, then it gives result..Surprised..!!!
    2) <b>Is it possible to write syntax in the following way..</b>
    IF
    (condition)
    ( Row  1 + Row 2) < 0
    ResulT : Row 3=0
    In my case,
    It is not accepting +, - .....
    Kindly suggest...
    I am confident that i crack this with your mighty help..
    Thanks for reading..

    HI Vinayak,
    Thanks very much for responding..
    I appreciate your reply and time spent on this...
    Your solution goes to indefinate internal loop..
    In your solution, Vi-2 is the previuos years cell ref: which again needs calculation...
    Your solution works good if i have to use current motns calculation of one  KF in another...
    say
    A= B+C;(current month)
    D=AE( current momth)...then instead of AE, better we use, D=(BC) E...Actually i am not facing any problem in taking the previous months updated value...i am facing problem with IF loop in case of negative...
    I will try your option and come back to you...

  • Using VI server from DIAdem script :: Syntax (documenta​tion) for properties and methods of VI Server objects (for non-labvie​w programmer​s)

    Hello all,
    I am using DIAdem 10.0 Advanced, LabVIEW 8.0 PDS. I would like to start a LabVIEW IHM from a VBS script. I use VI Server to call my VI from DIAdem.
    Here is the script and the VI I use (VI attached):
    Dim lvapp, vi, viPath, paramName(1), paramVal(1)
    Set lvapp = CreateObject("LabVIEW.Application")
    viPath = "C:\TEST\test.vi"
    Set vi = lvapp.GetVIReference(viPath)
    vi.FPWinOpen = True
    paramName(0) = "Input"
    paramVal(0) = 10
    paramName(1) = "Output"
    paramVal(1) = 0
    Call vi.Call(paramName, paramVal)
    Call lvapp.Quit()
    I found a similar example on your web site.
    Question 1:
    I need to know the syntax for all the other properties and methods of a VI object (method like Get or Set Control Value for example).
    Is a documentation (other than the LabVIEW help which is dedicated for LV programmers) exist in order to be able to use all the features of VI Server from another environment (CVI, VB, ...)?
    Question 2:
    Is it possible to call a VI with VI Server with the parameter "Wait until done" to FALSE? (run a VI asynchronuously from DIAdem)
    Thanks for your answer.

    Hello,
    I finally found a way to get the documentation of VI Server. I can view the "LabVIEW.TLB" type library file with a OLE/COM Object Viewer (a utility from the Windows SDK).

  • What is current CommSuite support for non-ASCII passwords?

    Hello all,
    Some of our users managed to change their passwords to non-ASCII strings (via replication from MSAD by ISW) and no longer have access to their communications services.
    While replicating the problem, I have set a (UTF-8 non-ASCII) string as my password in DSEE directly, and *can* log in to Convergence with this password. However, if I change the working password to a non-ASCII string from Convergence itself - it is accepted during the secondary password check, there is no error returned, SOME password is apparently saved into the LDAP directory, but neither of the original non-ASCII plaintext strings can be used for login back into Convergence. Restoration of access is only doable by admin at this point.
    Checking email by IMAP from Thunderbird no longer works with a changed non-ASCII password (including the state when it still works for Convergence).
    Delegated Admin has an explicit check for non-ASCII characters in the password and refuses to set a misbehaving one.
    I see that among the standards supported by CommSuite, there is IMAP4rev1, and RFC 5255 refers to it as the reason that non-ASCII passwords and usernames are for now not supported, though this is expected to be a temporary state of things, and software can prepare for the future by implementing checks for valid UTF-8 strings as well.
    https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite/Messaging+Server+Supported+Standards
    http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5255
    5.1.  Unicode Userids and Passwords
       IMAP4rev1 currently restricts the userid and password fields of the
       LOGIN command to US-ASCII.  The "userid" and "password" fields of the
       IMAP LOGIN command are restricted to US-ASCII only until a future
       standards track RFC states otherwise.  Servers are encouraged to
       validate both fields to make sure they conform to the formal syntax
       of UTF-8 and to reject the LOGIN command if that syntax is violated.
       Servers MAY reject the LOGIN command if either the "userid" or
       "password" field contains an octet with the highest bit set.
       When AUTHENTICATE is used, some servers may support userids and
       passwords in Unicode [RFC3490] since SASL (see [RFC4422]) allows
       that.  However, such userids cannot be used as part of email
       addresses.
    So, the main question at this point is: does or does not all of the CommSuite stack support non-ASCII passwords?
    If no - please confirm, so we can instruct the users to not create problems for themselves (and maybe manage to set up some policy to not accept non-ASCII passwords to MSAD/DSEE in the first place).
    If yes - what should be done to enable support in Convergence/IMAP/SMTP/XMPP/WCAP/WABP/... services - perhaps, setting the LANG/LC_ALL locale environment variables or equivalent JVM flags for UTF-8 in server startup scripts, etc.? (I know that DSEE ldapsearch requires either envvars or a command-line flag for charset encoding of values, so I figure similar quirks may be relevant for some other software)
    Thanks in advance for either response,
    //Jim Klimov

    I can't respond for the suite, but the Messaging Server product should work with UTF-8 usernames and passwords as long as the standard SASL authentication mechanisms that are documented to use UTF-8 are used (e.g. SASL PLAIN). IMAP LOGIN may work fine with UTF-8 as well even though that's non-standard. We do not implement SASLprep, however, so the strings provided by the client to the server must be identical UTF-8 strings for authentication to succeed. If they are provided in a different decomposition, different canonical form or non-standard charset, that's not supported and will fail. We don't test this scenario extensively, so you may encounter bugs (that we'd have to prioritize and fix as with other bugs). Messaging Server recently implemented a restricted option (broken_client_login_charset) for a customer who was stuck with broken clients that sent ISO-8859-1 for the IMAP login command arguments.

  • Syntax for adding the file type

    Hi,
    I am trying to add the file type source in the SES server. The SES server is running on a remote machine and I try to add the file directory on the local machine as a source. Could someone give me the syntax please. Also is there a link which helps me with the syntaxes for the different sources in SES.
    Thanks

    Is this on Windows? Handling remote file crawls on Windiows can be a bit tricky.
    If so, then:
    1/ You should to use a UNC-style path to the file, eg \\servername\share\folder\. It will automatically get converted to a FILE url. (Or you can directly specify the file URL). You can't use a "drive letter shortcut".
    2/ You need to make sure that the owner of the Oracle database service (normally called "OracleServiceSES") has access to the shared file system. The service is started by the "Local System" user by default, which does NOT have access to remote file systems. See the NTFS crawler section in the admin guide for more info.
    3/ The connection to the share must be automatic (eg via Active Directory) for the user running the Oracle database service. If, when you access a UNC file path on the server it prompts for a username and password, this isn't going to work.
    If you want to directly enter the URL, the syntax is (non-obviously)
    file://localhost///servername/share/folder
    Note "localhost" is not a placeholder. You need to ALWAYS put "localhost" in there, regardless of the server you are accessing. And note that there are three slashes after it.

  • Need dcb syntax for labview

    Hello, I am trying to program an external i/o device and one of the function calls I need to make is to the kernel32.dll function SetCommState. One of the parameters for SetCommState is DCB. Unfortunately, kernel32.dll was designed for use with non-graphical programming languages, which leaves me in a bit of a pickle. I need to know the syntax for inputting the parameter DCB into labview. For example, normally, DCB's parameters are set individually (i.e dcbBaudrate, dcbByteSize, etc.) and these parameters are read into the system. However, I have not been able to find a way to set these parameters individually and I don't know the syntax for inputting them all together. Could someone please help. Also, I cannot set these parameters in visa, because the device I have I cannot seem to get to work with visa.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    This is the third thread you start with the same subject, see e.g. http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=185253#M185253.
    In the other threads, people did suggest you to use VISA. This is also my suggestion.
    You still lack to explain why you don't want to use VISA, as you apparently are trying to rewrite the VB code and not to use it directly.
    Maybe you have valid reasons for not to want to do so, but please explain.

  • Best reasonably priced macro lens for a 70d

    Hi i have got a canon 70d and have just started doing alot of macro photography (Flowers bugs etc) i've been using the the 18-135mm kit lens but now i know im enjoying it im going to get a mocro lens. Cant afford nothing to major as saving for wedding and house. Was just looking for some advice on reasonably priced macro lenses. Any Advice welcome..
    Thanks in advance

    Actually, it's hard to go wrong with macro lenses... Most give excellent image quality, so it tends to be the other features that are deciding factors. I have no idea what you consider "reasonably priced".... To one person that might be no more than $100, while to another it might be anything under $1000.
    Canon EF 50/2.5 Compact Macro is currently about $270... As an EF lens, this can be used on both your crop camera and on full frame cameras. But this is a micro motor focus drive lens (slower, hunts more), and on it's own it only goes to 1:2 or one half life size magnification. To get full 1:1 magnification with it, there's a separately sold converter that costs another $270. You also could use macro exension tubes - that sell for between $70 and $200 for a set - to increase the lens' magnification. All the other macro lenses listed here are able to do 1:1 without need for any adapter. 50mm is fairly short focal length, putting you relatively close to your subject. This lens' closest focus is about 4 inches (with 1:1 adapter... compare to 12 inches with a 100mm lens). Personally I use shorter macro focal lengths mostly in-studio where they can work well.... but prefer a longer focal length in the field. Uses 52mm filters. No lens hood offered or supplied, it doesn't really need one because the front element is deeply recessed into the lens.
    SIgma 50/2.8 Macro lens sells for about $350. I don't know much about this lens, it's been around for a while. I know it's 1:1 capable, both crop and full frame capable and has a micro motor focus drive. Comes with a lens hood. Uses 55mm filters.
    Canon EF-S 60/2.8 USM Macro is on sale at the moment for $420. It's an EF-S lens, which will work fine on your 70D, but is not usable on a full frame camera. USM focusing drive is a bit faster, quieter and more precise (see below about focus speed). It's full 1:1 capable, a little longer focal length than 50mm, but not a lot. It's relatively compact and it is "internal focusing" or IF, which means it doesn't change length when focused. It uses 58mm filters and the matched lens hood sells separately for $24 (third party hoods are available for less).
    Tamron  SP 60/2.0 "Di II"  Macro/Portrait lens is selling for about $525 and, like the Canon 60mm Macro, is a "crop only" lens. Fine for your 70D, but not usable on full frame cameras. It's also IF, but using a micro motor type focus drive. I've been working with one of these lately, giving it a try. I find it's focus slower than Canon USM, but generally plenty fast  for most macro/portrait usage. The main attraction of this lens is its f2.0 aperture... fully a stop larger than most other macro lenses (Zeiss makes a couple f2.0 macro lenses, but they are manual focus only and quite expensive). This is nice particularly when using the lens for portraiture. It uses 55mm filters and comes with a lens hood.
    Canon MP-E 65mm is not a lens I'd recommend to anyone just starting out shooting macro. This is an ultra high magnification lens... actually can do no less than 1:1 and goes as high as 5:1. That's a range well beyond what many people shoot. It's also about $1000 and stricly manual focus. It's a superb lens, usable on both crop sensor and full frame cameras, and one I use personally. But it's still not something I'd recommend to anyone just starting to shoot macro. It's rather challenging to work with, pretty much a "tripod only" lens.  Comes with a tripod mounting ring, uses 58mm filters and an odd little lens hood sells separately for around $40.
    Sigma 70mm f2.8 EX DG macro lens.... is another I don't know a whole lot about. Like their 50/2.8 macro, it's been around a long time and uses a micro motor type focus drive. It is the first lens in this list that has a Focus Limiter (2 ranges), which is a feature that can be helpful speeding up auto focusing. It sells for about $470, uses 62mm filters and comes with a matched lens hood.
    Tamron SP 90mm f2.8 Di is another excellent design that's been around a long, long time. I've still got and use manual focus versions of this lens dating back to the 1980s. The currently available micro motor version sells for $500 and, as a Di lens is usable on both crop and full frame cameras. It's got a focus limiter (2 ranges),  uses 55mm filters and includes a matching lens hood. It is not an IF lens.
    Tamron SP 90mm f2.8 Di VC USD is an updated version of their venerable 90mm, now with both an improved AF system (USD is similar to Canon's USM) and image stabilization (Tamron calls it VC). It is said to be better sealed against dust and moisture, and also uses an aperture with 9 curved blades to make for smoother background blurs. This lens is Internal Focusing (IF), has a Focus Limiter (4 ranges!), was introduced within the  last year or so selling for about  $750, uses 58mm filters and comes with a matched lens hood.
    Canon EF 100/2.8 USM is another excellent lens I use personally. This is the older version of this lens without IS (and not L-series, but you would be hard pressed to tell any difference in build quality, comparing it to some L-series such as the 180/3.5L macro). A key feature here is that it can optionally be fitted with a tripod mounting ring.... something that's not possible with most of the other lenses mentioned here. For macro work, I consider a tripod mount a very important feature, though some of the smaller lenses might be fairly usable on a tripod without one. This lens has USM focus drive, is IF, has a Focus Limiter (2 range), sells for about $550 presently, and uses 58mm filters. A matched lens hood is quite large and sells separately for about $40.  Tripod Ring B to fit it sells for about $140 (there are cheaper third party hoods and tripod rings).
    Canon EF 100/2.8 L IS USM is a newer model that primarily is upgraded with the addition of Image Stabilization (IS). Now designated an L, it includes a matched lens hood. Like the older model, a tripod ring can be optionally fitted. It has an improved Focus Limiter (increased to 3 ranges). It uses 62mm filters and is currently on sale for $900. Tripod Ring D sells for $172 (cheaper 3rd party ring is avail.).
    Tokina 100/2.8 ATX is both crop and full frame compatible and sells for about $400. I haven't used it, but it's another venerable design that's been around for a lot of years.  It has a Focus Limiter (2 range), uses 55mm filters and comes with a matched lens hood. I don't believe it's IF.
    Sigma 105/2.8 OS HSM  is currently on sale, heavily discounted, for about $670. I suspect Sigma is about to introduce a new version and that's why they are blowing out the current model with a large instant rebate. It is both crop sensor and full frame camera compatible. The current version has OS, which is Sigma's version of image stabilization, as well as HSM which is similar to Canon's USM focusing drive. This lens has a Focus Limiter (3 ranges), uses a 9 blade aperture, 62mm filters and comes with a matched hood. It cannot be fitted with a tripod ring.
    Canon, Sigma and Tamron all offer longer macro focal lengths... 150mm and 180mm. In general I'd say those are pretty long to use on a crop sensor camera such as your 70D or my 7Ds. They all come with tripod rings, which is good because longer macro lenses can be difficult to keep steady. But they all are also considerably more expensive, so I won't go into the details about them.
    Regarding auto focus speed... All macro lenses with AF are slower focusing for a couple reasons. One is that they have to move their focusing mechanisms a long, long way to go all the way from infinity to 1:1 magnification. Another is by design, they use "long throw" focus mechanisms that emphasize accuracy over speed, which is necessary because depth of field can be quite shallow at high magnifications. So, in general, don't expect a macro lens to offer the same AF speed as a non-macro lens with similar focus drive mechanism. What can help a lot are the type of focus drive and if the lens offers a Focus Limiter. Canon's USM, Sigma's HSM and Tamron's USD all will give faster focusing than micro motor drive systems on other lenses. Properly used, a Focus Limiter can really speed up focusing performance, too.
    When shooting macro, auto focus speed usually isn't all that critical. In fact, I often just focus manually. Accuracy often is more important, due to the shallow depth of field. So AF perfomance might be a bigger consideration if planning to also use the lens a lot for non-macro purposes.
    Image Stabilization (Canon OS, Sigma OS and Tamron VC) is offered on a few premium models. Canon's is a special hybrid version developed just for macro purposes, which most feel is a bit more effective than other forms of stabilization. Nikon actually was the first to put stabilization (they call it VR) on a macro lens, but most agree that while it's useful for non-macro shooting, it is of little practical assistance at 1:1 magnification. The Canon hybrid IS is considered to be a bit better at higher magnifications, but even it will be of limited effectiveness at 1:1. In other words, there may be times when you want to use a tripod or at least a monopod. And in those cases, particularly on some of the larger lenses, a tripod mounting ring can be a very nice thing to have (among all the above, only the Canon 100mm macro lenses can be fitted with a t'pod  ring).
    There are other options to "do macro", too. For example, you could simply get some Macro Extension Tubes to use with your current lens, to make it focus closer. Canon offers quality individual tubes in 25mm and 12mm lengths ($84 and $140 respectively). Kenko does too, but also offers a set of three that includes 12mm, 20mm and 36mm lengths (set sells for $200).  The Kenko are very close to the Canon in design, quality and performance.
    There are also less expensive sets (under $100) from Zeikos and Opteka. The Zeikos set includes 13mm, 21mm and 31mm and sell under a bunch of different brand names (Vivitar, Bower, Dot Line, ProOptic and many more). The Opteka set was just recently introduced and includes 12mm, 20mm and 36mm. All these sets are more plasticky than the Canon and Kenko tubes, but they do support autofocus and direct control of the aperture.
    AFAIK, all the currently sold macro extension tubes for Canon mount are compatible with both EF and EF-S lenses. (If you were shopping used you'd have to be careful because some of the older tubes were EF only and could not be used with your EF-S 18-135mm lens).  
    Canon's TS-E 45mm and TS-E 90mm lenses also are usable for near-macro and, with extension tubes added, macro shooting. These are Tilt-Shift lenses that give additional control over the plane of focus which can be used to good effect with macro and shallow depth of field. I use a TS-E 45mm a lot for table top studio shots of small products. However, these are manual focus only, largely tripod-only and rather pricey lenses, so I just wanted to mention them here. They are probably not something I'd recommend for a first time macro shooter or general purpose, outdoor, walk-around macro work.
    Personally, my two most-used macro lenses are a Canon EF 100/2.8 USM (the older model) and a Tamron SP 60/2.0. When I'm planning to shoot a lot of outdoor, walk-around macro shooting, the Canon lens is my first choice. However, it's rather large so when I'm not planning macro, but want to have a macro lens just in case, I'll substitute it with the much more compact Tamron lens. (Which also can replace two portrait lenses in my camera bag, so reduces my load by one lens serving in place of three.)
    Another key consideration is flash. Often when shooting macro it's a challenge to get enough light to allow a stopped down lens, desirable ISO and adequately fast shutter speed. So you probably will find yourself wanting to use flash sooner or later. Canon offers two macro-specific flashes: the MR14 EX Ring Lite and the MT24EX Twin Lite. I use both for different purposes. I prefer the Twin Lite for macro shots up to about 1:1, maybe 2:1 (double life size) magnification. The Ring Lite I mostly use for very high magnification shots with the MP-E 65mm lens.
    All the Canon lenses above have provision for, or can be adapted to allow for direct mounting of the two Canon macro flashes (Note: I believe there is a new "Mark II" version of the Ring Lite coming out soon). There also are adapters available to mount these flashes on non-macro Canon or onto third party lenses. It also is possible to use a single "standard" flash, along with an off-camera shoe cord and some sort of diffusion to hold back the flash, when shooting macro. I do that often with 550EX and 580EX II flashes.
    There are other macro-specific accessories you may want to consider eventually. Often I'll use a diffusion panel and/or a reflector when out in full sun, to reduce too extreme contrast and help fill too-deep shadows. A focusing stage is another useful thing, when shooting macro with a tripod.
    Finally, I recommend you pick up some books on macro photography. John Shaw's "Close-Ups in Nature" is perhaps the "Bible" among them and likely the most comprehensive. I also found books about macro by Tim Fitzharris and Joe & Mary MacDonald very helpful and interesting. I'm sure there are others, but those came immediately to mind.

        Now I'm finally entering the early MacIntel age with a pristine "early 2008" MacBook Pro bought for $250 from an elderly original-owner couple who used it only at home for email and iPhoto.  Though at the end of its supported life, it's practically new with a known history of light graphics usage (no video or gaming rendering ever) delivered in the original box with original battery (only 46 cycles!), discs, manual, like-new charger, and no sign of wear.  The original internal wrapper was even saved and put back on the device!  Furthermore, because the wife was a photo enthusiast, the Apple Store swapped out her internal hard drive for a Western Digital 720GB 7200rpm drive and the husband just gave me the original 360GB drive!
        I want to do several things with this "new" device.  I've done a lot of research but the world has changed since FCP 3 and the G4 processor and I'm overwhelmed with all the possibilities.  I need guidance and have always appreciated the wisdom and generosity of the gurus here. I thank you all in advance!
    iCloud integration: I'd like it since I'm an iPhone/Pad user.  I could upgrade to Mountain Lion but Mavericks, under the best of conditions, is doable on my device and may give me improved CPU and battery performance.  I realize this is best left for the OSX forums.  HOWEVER...
    Final Cut Pro: I want to also return to editing in FCP an unfinished documentary using primarily archival film and video converted to non-HD DV.  This may greatly impact how I set up my drives and the decision as to which OS is best.  So, this should probably be my initial decision.
    Hard Drive:  First and foremost, I should probably swap the drives and place the 7200rpm drive into an enclosure (Firewire or is that stone-age?) for FCP media, correct?
    OS:  With Mavericks, I must use FCPX which is beyond my current non-HD needs and will most likely strain my system resources.  However, the new simplified interface is appealing and I've read some users are running it on "early 2008" MBPs.  If an earlier OS is better suited, then which one?  And also...
    FCP Version:  Which is most stable given my model?  And which is best for non-HD needs?  What about FCExpress?  I want to explore more possibilities than what's available in iMovie and would appreciate the simpler interface found in FCE and FCPX, especially since I haven't used any Final Cut since FCP 3 but will gladly embrace what's best.  I want to relearn the program and hope to continue using it for other projects.
    Partitioned drive:  Finally, what about partitioning my drive, one for daily life running Mavericks or other OS, the other solely dedicated to an optimized OS/FCP for non-HD editing?  Even at 360 GB it should be doable if I keep it lean and the bulk of storage externally (I ran FCP 3 adequately on a partitioned 40GB drive back in the day).  How much space should I dedicate to an FCP partition?
        Finances are tight and I'll need to upgrade Office, other apps (I know there's Rosetta in Snow Leopard but must weigh that with iCloud integration; decsions, decisions!) and probably locate an older copy of FCP on EBay or elsewhere which could be expensive.  I must wait a bit before swapping in a 4GB RAM module and possibly upgrading to an SSD.  Meanwhile, I'd like to experience this like-new MacBook Pro now, both as it was during its heyday and with what's still possible today.  It seems doable and I appreciate any and all suggestions.
    Thank you all and have a great day!
    Evalyn
    PS: I realize my FCP3 files are probably useless and plan to reimport everything into a new project.  And sorry for the lack of paragraph spacing.  Can't get it formatted right on the iPad!

    Just to note that there is much more commonality between FCP3 and FCP7 and/or FCE than with the early version and FCP X. IMO, learning FCP X is worth the effort, but it will require some effort since it is so different than traditional NLE's. You could "get by" with FCE for many types of projects and you should be able to find a copy on eBay or Amazon  for a few hundred dollars. However, you will not be able to open a FCP project of any version with it.  Also, I don;t think I would agree that  its UI is simple; it's essentially the same as FCP.
    As for partitioning, some people advise against editing from drives that have been partitioned. I use a partition on one machine and I've not had any problems, so I think it is an option.
    As you can see from the replies you've received so far, you have  reasonable choices. Good luck.

  • Service desk for non-sap (please - any inputs are welcome)

    hi all,,
    I know how to setup service desk for SAP use. Can some one provide me some tips on using solution manager - service desk for non-sap as well? eg: the company wants to use service desk for normal activities as well, as laptop not working, server down, other system issues etc.
    The questions I have are -
    1) Any specific structure to be created for the non-sap? The way we use in SAP specific environment is to use "SAP Components" while creating tickets. How can we create tickets for non-sap components? What will be the "responsibility" selection?
    2) How about the Ibase? For SAP, the ibase already have the data from SMSY. How can I get data for non-sap systems? Anything is SAP to keep the Asset management data (like entries of laptops, servers etc)
    Thanks for all the suggestions !!

    Hi
    You need to go for service desk XT which is the extension of service desk to manage non sap or IT incidents
    Check below link
    https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/_solutionmanager
    Heterogeous system environments are a challenge for IT-service management in any company. The associated complex structures and varying forms of media often make it difficult to realize efficient service processes. With SAP Solution Manager Service Desk - Extended Usage (Service Desk XT), SAP offers a centralized support tool as a single point of access - for service requests and problem tickets related to SAP and non-SAP software.
    The Single Point of Access for Support
    SAP Solution Manager, which is a standard part of every SAP solution and therefore can be used by all SAP customers, supports users in SAP relevant service requests. The standard function of the service desk is restricted to service requests.
    With Service Desk XT, SAP provides an extended support tool, which can be also used for general service requests, for example regarding IT or telecommunication equipment.
    This priced add-on does not require additional interfaces to third-party products - the same service requests are used for SAP and non-SAP applications. This simplification is a benefit for your employees.
    This solution has been created with IT service providers in mind, especially those which work within a company and currently do not have an IT-service desk application in place or would like to replace an existing system.

  • How to allow access to winrs for non-admin user?

    I have Windows Server 2012 (and Server 2008, but it is next priority) to monitor it using txwinrm. txwinrm library internally is using WinRS protocol. I have to monitor it using least privileged user, but don't know how to configure access for him.
    All I managed to do - is to configure remote Powershell session for my user, but it's look like that winrs and powershell sessions have different security descriptors:
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential Administrator $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
    # gives 4
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential lpu1 $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
    # gives 4
    winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:Administrator -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
    # gives 4
    winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:lpu1 -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
    # Gives Winrs error: Access is denied.
    Configuration for my user is following:
    (Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Service\RootSDDL).value
    # O:NSG:BAD:P(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-3231263931-1371906242-1889625497-1141)S:P(AU;FA;GA;;;WD)(AU;SA;GWGX;;;WD)
    (Get-PSSessionConfiguration -name Microsoft.Powershell).SecurityDescriptorSddl
    # O:NSG:BAD:P(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-3231263931-1371906242-1889625497-1149)S:P(AU;FA;GA;;;WD)(AU;SA;GXGW;;;WD)
    (In each security descriptor my user is given general access to protected object).
    So what security descriptor should I set to make my winrs query work for non-admin user?

    Hi Bunyk,
    I can not recreate the erroe you posted, and please also post the screenshoot in your convenience.
    I tested with a non-domain user but has the local admin permission of the remote computer, and this worked, before running the remote cmdlet in powershell, I also configured the TrustedHosts.
    In addition, the access denied could be also caused to the Protocol Filtering on the remote server, for more detailed information, please refer to this thread:
    winrs error:access is denied
    I hope this helps.

  • "SSO" for non-sap web application using SAPGUI to browse?

    I have a web application (non SAP) and the user base are also SAP users in an ABAP system.
    To strengthen the authentication in the web app, I wanted to implement SSO 
    authentication as we pity the users for having to remember so many strong pw's and I
    dont like LDAP based pw sync or other technology I dont understand, because then we are
    just yet another application with the same pw...
    We are having technical problems implementing SSO on the web app side, and are anyway a
    bit sceptical about the user admin / role admin assignment if we get it to work.
    So I have created a transaction in SAP which browses the web app and the intention is to
    send the SAP sy-uname as the web app user. We can control this using s_tcode, and
    an own auth object on the WAS side and a check on the session type before the connection is
    established. In this sense we are dependent on the SAP concept implemented, but even so:
    The role assignment is controlled in the web app itself -> so assume that I am not overly
    worried about unauthorized access to the web application, as they would not have any
    system role for it as their sy-uname does not exist. (Infact we can monitor this)
    The browser on the front end is the SAPGUI with html controls on the SAP side.
    I would be interested in knowing whether anyone else has experience with this approach, and
    whether there are any areas to be carefull of?
    I would also like to know whether this is a strategic error?
    Kind regards,
    Julius

    Hi Julius,
    well, if that web application would run on the same ABAP backend system then the solution described in <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/0612670">SAP Note 612670</a> would be applicable:
    a so-called "Re-entrance ticket" (based on the "SAP logon ticket" SSO proceedings) is issued, transported via the SAPGUI connection and back to the system via the invoked HTML control.
    But for non-SAP web applications that does not help.
    In that case only X.509 client certificates can be used for SSO. Actually, the web application could then also be invoked directly (independent from the SAPGUI session). The user is authenticated based on the X.509 client certificate - and not based on the ABAP userID (of the SAPGUI session).
    Well, if you don't mind the effort you could also use the "SAP Logon Ticket evaluation library" (sapssoext, see <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/0304450">SAP Note 304450</a>) to evalute the SAP logon ticket externally. You'll then need to have a "stub application" at the ABAP side that triggers the http redirect to your external web application. Not a nice solution but a possible one.
    In the future SAML browser artifacts would be an option (preferable to integrate non-SAP applications). But currently that's not available (for NWAS ABAP).
    Cheers, Wolfgang

    Hi ,
    we have implemented Siteminder on SAP PORTAL 6 SP16 for authentication.I would like to integrate non sap application in Portal.I could not find any documentaion for setting up non sap application's in portal on which siteminder external authentication is implemented.
    can anybody help for getting step by step document.

    Hi,
    if you have access to service.sap.com via S-User, you can download "SAP Enterprise Portal Security Guide" in the portal section. It has dedicated descriptions about SSO-Settings, also about netegrity.
    You can also search help.sap.com about "SSO" which gives you overview descriptions.
    On SAP Service Net, there is also an pdf "Integrating Security functions" in the Netweaver 2004s Portal section, where the description of the Java API for the PDK is included. This is very helpfull for coding.

    Hi Vikrant,
    Thank you so much for your quick response. Just wanted to confirm if MB51 includes the vendor with PO and Non POs. As I am specifically looking for Vendors with Non POs. eg a consultant to a plant can also be considered as vendor who has no POs. I am trying to collect that information.
