Moving Forward with FCSvr

OK, all of us who have spent lots of time, money and sweat have had our (not so) little tantrums about FCSvr and FCP going away sometime in the future.Now let's discuss what we are going to do about it and the timeline. What would be an optimal configuration with both products to go forward to get maximum years of service out of both products? As system software moves forward it seems to eclipse older versions of apps, making upgrades necessary, so planning on getting the last best equipment and system that will run these apps successfully into the future would be the goal. I am thinking I should start upgrading my 3 iMac edit stations when Lion arrives and have Thunderbolt option and the fastest processor to run FCP7 as long as possible, but maybe I'd be better off with towers for more modification possibilities. I currently serve from an older Mac Pro Intel tower, thinking I should upgrade that to an XSAN before that disappears? Thoughts everyone?

We have enough Xserves(discontinued) and Xserve RAIDS (discontinued) to last quite awhile to run Final Cut Server (discontinued) in our shop.  You will be able to find parts for whatever for awhile and even run FCS on
a hackintosh if you want. 
The software itself is very powerful and will continue to be so for some time, and even longer with some planning.
Just use carbon copy cloner to make masters of the systems you use and shelve several copies just in case.
I would not bank on Lion working well with FCP 7 or anything professional at this point given Apple's track record. They have made it clear (especially with the FCPX FAQ) that they are going to do things their way whether it breaks our way of working or not. 
I would definitely not look at rolling out an expenive Apple SAN product could also be EOL by 2012.

  • Moving backward with a JScrollBar or JSlider

    Hi,
    I am trying to use a JScrollBar or JSlider to move in a rowset using the JClient View Binding model.
    It works fine when moving forward with the scroll bar / slider, but when I try to move backward the fields in the forms are not updated.
    Is it a bug or do I have to do something special to be able to move backward.
    Version: jdev 9.0.3

    To fix this for your project,
    Open up this class'es source from (BC4J\src\bc4juisrc.zip)
    Make a copy in your local project source (maintaining the class package structure - oracle.jbo.uicli.binding)
    Then edit this method setRangeScrollValue.
    Look for lines:
                if (scroll < rangeSize)
                   //in scroll range. >=0 check for slider/scroll bar moving backwards.
                   rsi.setCurrentRowAtRangeIndex(scroll);
                else
                {change that to
                if (scroll < rangeSize && scroll >= 0)

  • Possible Failing Hard Drive...advice for moving forward

    I've been having lengthy delays caused by spinning beach ball of death and decided to get serious about my back-ups while I figured out what was wrong. In addition to Time Machine, have purchased a drive just to have a clone copy of hard drive and a bootable startup drive. While using Carbon Copy Cloner to do this, it reported bad sectors on my drive. Suggested deleting those files which I proceeded to do (deleting those took forever as it initiated the sbbod for each one). But the SBBOD keeps occuring.
    I need help and advice to think this through...(actual questions in bold)
    5 bad sectors aren't a lot but even 1 that causes the wretched SBBOD is too much. Is there a way to avoid that sector or is it just a precurser of future bad things to come? (let me say here that my drive is not a Seagate).
    Do those bad sectors corrupt my clone?
    I don't want to weigh this discussion down with too many questions...but these are my thoughts about moving forward
    If I decide that, indeed, my hard drive is failing I see the following options:
    Replace hard drive (have received local quote of $100 for labor + cost of drive approx $100) - this is certainly the cheapest, easiest and most logical solution.
    Take this opportunity to replace the laptop I gave to my daughter when hers was stolen. I would only do this if I could use the iMac's screen as a 2nd monitor. However, the early 2009 iMacs don't support being used as 2nd monitor. I would have to use ScreenRecycler & a VNC. How do those affect performance? If there is no adverse affect, I like this solution.
    Any and all advice appreciated. iMac specs in signature.

    Thanks for your reply Linc

    Rule out other hardware failures such as a damaged SATA cable or a bad logic board.
    Do you mean in addition to the hard drive, as that failure seems pretty evident at this point? I guess the cable would be a visual inspection. How would I know about the logic board?
    I'm pretty well convinced to replace the Hard Drive. Now the fun question is do I want to go with an SSD drive? I'm reading up now - obviously we're talking expensive for the size I would need. Not sure about these hybrid drives? Small amount of SSD combined with large amount of hard disk? Also reading about using the optical drive slot with something like OWC's Data Doubler. So many options. Any thoughts are welcome

  • Port Forwarding with Port Translation RV042, RV016, RV082

    This is a feature request for the Linksys RV series Routers.  Currently, it appears that the Cisco/Linksys RV042, RV082, and RV016 only support port forwarding and 1-to-1 Nat.  One item that I find very helpful with customers is port forwarding with port translation.  I am requesting that this feature be included with a future firmware relase for these RV series routers.
    Here is an example of the request.
    Take an incoming service request on a TCP or UDP destination port and forward it to an internal IP on a different TCP or UDP port.  For example, customer A wants to allow different machines on the internal network to receive Windows RDP connections inbound.  To make PC maintenance identical between the internal machines, the customer does not want to change the listening port for RDP on the individual PC workstations through the Windows Registry.  The customer also does not want to dedicate separate IP's to each machine in a 1-to-1 NAT setup.  The only option is to have remote connections to each of these PC's to use a different destination port.  So, for example, PC one could be reached on TCP port 5151, PC two on TCP port 5152, and PC three on port 5153.  This requres a firewall that is able to translate each of these connection requests to a different internal IP on the default RDP port (TCP 3389).  So, the following setup is required:
    Port Forwarding with Port Translation:
    Router External IP on TCP port 5151 ---> forwarded to PC One's internal IP on TCP 3389
    Router External IP on TCP port 5152 ---> forwarded to PC Two's internal IP on TCP 3389
    Router External IP on TCP port 5153 ---> forwarded to PC Three's internal IP on TCP 3389
    There are several comparable "small business" class router competitors to the RV042, RV082, and RV016 that will perform this port forwarding with port translation process without incident.  Unfortunately, these Cisco/Linksys small business routers will not accomplish this task currently.
    Please implement this feature in a future firmware release.
    Thanks!

    Excellent.  I see this now.  None of our customers actually use the UPNP feature, so we never realized that Port Forwarding with Port Translation features existed on this page along with the ability to enable or disable UPNP.
    Perhaps, in the future, this functionality could be moved to and incorporated into the port forwarding page which seems to be a more logical location.
    In either case I'm very happy to know that this feature is available on the RV's.
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • Exasperated moving home with BT

    Moving home with BT has turned from being easy to being a totally destructive experience and one that looks like it will cost me a fortune.
    Having given 5 weeks notice BT decided to text me 3 days before the move cancelling my home move, new number, call forwarding .. everything. Explanation?.. sky (the provider at the house I am going to) have not cancelled the line.
    I spent 4 hrs on the phone to BT and they advised that as sky had not canceled the line thewy had to cancel, nothing they could do and even though I was moving in 3 days (2 now) my phone / BB, the lot was all cancelled and I would have to "call them when I got to the new house and start it all again"... didnt care that I work from home, as a Web Designer !!!
    Sky were advised over 2 weeks ago but BT refused to call sky so I did... they said that it was their policy to not cancel a line till the day of the move and BT knew this.... not according to anyone at BT !!... so it seems that I am the first person to ever move with a BT line to a house currently with a phone from SKY... all at BT accept this is not possible but noone can explain why as they havnt heard of this before... still, no matter, its my problem and "call us when you move and we will see what we can do... or you can go online and book"... what with I asked?... you are cutting me off "oh yes, well call us from your mobile then !!"
    Ok, well I cant believe that I should be treated like this... 25 years with BT and they are screwing up not only my house move but my business too all because they cant be bothered to do anything that may or may not help.
    So, below is the copy of the email I sent earlier today to Sir Michael Rake (BT Chairman)... I will be interested to see if I get a reply as although now I accept that BT are going to hurt me (oh and they wont even let me go to SKY without charging 12 months) I DO want to know or at least be reassured that I am not being "turned over" by the people at the call centres.
    Can anyone help... email content to follow below...
    Dear Sir Michael,
    I have been a customer of BT for over 20 years but I felt I
    had to let you know about the total shambles that BT are creating regarding my
    home move. I will reduce the details down vastly so as not to take up too much
    of your time but suffice to say I was on the phone for 4.5hrs yesterday to BT
    in total.
    1)      I
    booked a home move weeks ago, all was fine a provisional new number was given
    and although I could not have BT infinity at the new address I was offered the
    best other package available.
    2)      I
    am moving on 22nd Sept (2 days)
    3)      I
    received a text message yesterday saying “your order has been cancelled”. I
    received this while I was out so went straight home and called BT.
    4)      I
    was advised by home move dept that my telephone, broadband, new number and
    installation had all been cancelled since the phone line I was moving to had
    not been cancelled. I was told to get the phone line at the other end cancelled
    and reorder.
    5)      I
    spoke to the estate agents and then the sellers who advised that they has
    advised sky 10 days ago that they were moving
    6)      I
    called BT and told them... “no its not cancelled on our system can’t help you”
    I was told. We cant reopen the order so you will have to start it all again.
    7)      I
    called SKY myself to be told that although they were different from everyone
    else they as a company don’t cancel lines until the move date as if they did it
    would screw up their own systems so they would not be cancelling till 22nd
    and this was well known by BT.
    8)      Called
    BT back, no, not heard that before and nothing they could do.
    9)      Can
    I move from BT I asked?... you will be charged 12 months as you are signed up
    till Sept 2012.
    10)   I
    said I couldn’t believe I was the first BT customer ever to move to a house
    which currently has sky. Everyone agreed that this couldn’t be the case but
    offered no other explanation.
    11)   I
    called and asked for customer relations department... “we don’t have one” I was
    advised, each department looks after their own complaints. I was however put
    through to an Indian guy (sorry didn’t get his name) who said he wold take
    ownership and get everything sorted for me over night and would call me 10-12am
    today.
    12)   He
    called as promised at 11am and said he would put me through to home move. After
    explaining the situation AGAIN they said that if they put an order in today it
    would be 11 working days and would likely get cancelled anyway. They said “best
    thing to do is ring us when you get to the new property on your mobile and we
    can do a new order on Thursday... if the line is cancelled). Again they offered
    no explanation and agreed that I could not be the first person to move to a
    house with a sky line.  
    13)   I
    work from home as a web designer so you can imagine that internet connection is
    quite important.
    14)   Yesterday
    the only bit of hope I was offered was by a lady who agreed it was a mess and
    gave me a free 30 day hot spot access (as my existing phone will be cancelled
    on Thursday I wouldn’t be able to use this currently free service) but at least
    I have this access as long as I can find a hot spot where I am moving to.
    15)   I
    am afraid by now BT had worn me out and I accept that I will have to go without
    a phone and my businesses will have to stop for as long as BT choose to keep me
    offline. However what I cant accept is that I am the first person to move to a
    house where there is currently a sky connection... I just cant be the first
    person and if I am not then this surely must have happened (or not) before or
    BT must have a policy for this.
    16)   30
    mins ago I rang and asked where would I go to if I wanted to escalate a
    complaint. I was told to hold as again “we don’t have a complaints or customer
    relations department”. I was then told that a Manager called Louise Jones would
    look into my question and call me within 48 hrs... not a fat lot of good as I
    am moving before then ... but I gave my mobile number for her to call anyway. I
    was not offered anything else and to be honest feel like I have been kicked
    down the lane till Thursday.
    I can see now that I will end up in Market Rasen (where I am
    moving to) on Thursday, no phone, no internet, no contract and even my call
    forwarding service which I have paid for wont work as there is no number for it
    to go to... so no one will be able to call me and my clients will be less than
    impressed.
    After giving so much notice (at least 5 weeks) to then be
    cancelled just 3 days before a move with a totally implausible explanation (as
    I just can’t be the first) I’m sure you will agree appears just a bit harsh. I
    know as a residential customer I am not that important but this could and
    possibly will impact a great deal on my business and income and no one at BT
    appears to care at all.
    I accept that I am pretty stuffed but while I know that I am
    going to suffer I really do want to know if I am the very first person who has
    ever moved to a house where sky provides service and if not then is this what
    happens to everyone?
    For your information I am:
    (removed)
    I appreciate your time and just hope you can at least get
    someone to answer what would seem to be a reasonably easy question that will at
    least reassure me that I am not being badly treated.
    Best wishes
    Dominic

  • Artifacts when moving object with arrow keys.

    Hi all
    hope this is the right place to post this question.
    I want to to write simple arkanoid game in Flash (AC3). I've managed to write code that  moves my paddle with arrow keys. The code looks like this:
    function OnNewFrame(event:Event):void
        if (input.IsLeftHeld)
            if (paddle.x > 0)
                paddle.x -= 10;
        else
        if (input.IsRightHeld)
            if (paddle.x < stage.stageWidth - paddle.width)
                paddle.x += 10;
    It works but the result is ugly. The animation is not fluent, there are times when paddle stops for a moment . Also when speed of translation is high (here it is 10) you can see that paddle is flickering at the ends, it looks like single buffering problem. You can see both of those effects here:  http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/movOb.html , hovewer flickering is less visible due to small translation amount.
    How to fix this? How can i enable double buffering (or maybe it is enabled by default)?  Any help will be appreciated.
    P.S. sorry for bad english

    Thanks for samples, this is very kind ; p
    Hovewer you are doing everything almost exactly as I'am doing. Tou are using mySymbol.x++ which means your translation speed is 1. Also I'am aware that rising frame rate will result in smoother animations, but this is not the point. So once again, my flash applications suffer from two problems:
    1) Animations are not smooth. You can see this crealrly in here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/hittest.htm  , go back to the very bottom of the page, there is an animation window, look at the smallest circle. It looks like its blinking. 
    2) Moving symbols with arrow keys with the method i've presnted in the first post (the same method that infeter uses ). Moved symbol is randomly stopping for the very (very very) short amount of time. You can easily spot this in infeter sample.
    Many sample applications i've seen suffer from those issues. and nobody seems to see the problem, so maybe I am delusional? ; p
    cheers and thank for help

  • How do I stop the ruler from moving along with my guide line as I move it?

    Hello everyone,
    I am new to muse and may well be missing the obvious here, but I have a little problem, which until it is solved is a big road block to me.
    I am trying to move a guide lower on the page and can not do that because the left ruler is moving along with the guide!
    How do I lock the ruler itself, so the guide can be moved to a different position on the ruler?
    Totally weird. I have tried searching "locking rulers" both in this site and in google, but got no results at all.  I don't think the rulers are supposed to move in the first place, so am worried that nobody out there may have an answer to this.
    So I am stuck for now & I can't finish my project unless this is solved.
    Thanks for reading,
    Pat

    I would need more details for this, as you have mentioned rulers move ? Are you referring to rulers on page in design ?
    You can move a guide lower down the page , ruler marks will be displayed on ruler but that will not stop you moving the guides.
    What happens if you uncheck rulers from top view options ?
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • FMJ2 - Carry forward with budget Line

    Hello,
    I have done a carry forward FMJ2 and everything works perfectly. However the client let me know that they also want the budget line associated to the commitments to be carry forwarded.
    When I try that, the system gives me error FMAVC005.
    In "Define basic stting for carry forward" I have "Carry forward with document chain".
    In "Enter default settings" I have flaged "Carry forward budget for commitement allowed" and also the other 2 (Commitemnt and residual).
    Any idea about this topic.
    Please let me know.
    Regards,

    Hello,
    Avalability control is activated and I ma working with BCS Budget.
    In 2013 I have introduce my budget FMBB (Budget line). Then I have created a reserve agaisnt this budget line.
    When I try to do the carry forward the budget line is not carry forward and so the reserve in 2014 is trying to consume a budget line that do not exist.
    Please find a document with the images of the customizng and the 4th one with the result of the budget in 2014 but without the availability control (I get a negative ammount).

  • Port Forwarding with Verizon-Br​anded Action GT704-WG

    I am new to the forums, and I am already overjoyed with the 30 minutes I spent figuring out that the login mechanism does not even work with browsers other than IE7/8.  Lots of fun to start.
    I live in a residential building with the residential High Speed Internet Plan.  I assume this is the case because it is a DSL line and they are not using business grade, or I do not think I would be having these problems.
    I have spent many hours trying to figure out how to port forward with the above-mentioned router/modem/gateway/**bleep** extraordinnaire.  I am in IT professionally, and I am tired of feeling **bleep**.  I called Verizon tech, but they were very unhelpful unless I pay for a premium tech service to figure out port forwarding problems.  And yes, I have read the info on port-forward.com numerous times for this device.
    Essentially, I want to forward an arbitrary port, let's say 6336, to a server running Ubuntu 9.10.  I have put this computer in the DMZ using the web interface.  I have also set up a mapping rule to forward 6336 (all three entries pointed to 6336 in the Security/Applications/Forwarding section, following docs on port-forward.com for this specific model AND Verizon's own documentation).  Occassionally, I can see the service is viewable from the likes of canyouseeme.org.  Nonetheless, I cannot access the port: I get a connection refused error when using ssh on this port.  Yes, I correctly configured ssh on the DMZ server/host to respond to the non-standard 6336 port, and I have tried it with the server's firewall system (ufw/iptables, for the curious) enabled and disabled.  It NEVER works.
    Some posts here have indicated I might need a static IP assignment.  That can be done only client-side (meaning the Ubuntu server in the DMZ), if I understand people saying it is not possible to do static assignments from this **bleep** gateway, so I am not sure if that should matter (I wonder what happens with this **bleep** when two computers try to demand the same static IP; dare I guess that he asks first wins?).  I cannot recall if I have uPnP enabled or disabled as I am at the office right now, but I believe it is off.  Not sure if this matters either.  If I am wrong, I would love if someone could let me know.  I am at a loss and sick of dealing with such a simple problem.  I would really appreciate the help. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok.
    #1 On your computer setup a Static IP.
    This means following the directions at http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-c​onvert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-con​...
    #2 The Static IP must be outside of that DHCP range of the router. So, this means your IP has be above 1 but below 64.
    #3 In the router forward to the IP Address that you setup on the computer.
    OR if the router can give the computer the same IP Address each time, you could do that.
