My First Program, Seeking Advice

Hello all!
This is my first program attempt with Visual Studio 2013 Express and I don't have hardly any experience in programming to begin with...so bare with me. I have this idea for a Digital Communications Board. You know like the ones that are make of cork board
that have a million things attached to it and its all over the place? Ya that mess. I have several ideas for this concept which, if given enough help, I will go into later. But basically, I want to be able to have a program or app that lets you assign categories
for certain things that can be displayed in a work setting. Categories like Schedule, Announcements, and other things that you would want to add as you think of them. so I imagine this board starting out with a few that can be edited.
The main aspect of this program is to be able to upload any screenshot or picture or pdf file that is available and present it in a fashion that is organized. So if we just focus on the Schedule tab that I mentioned already I can probably explain it better.
The way I will personally use this is to display employee schedules through the addition of a picture or file taken from my company's system (not a data retrieval, just simple manual entry). Later down the road I will attempt to make it so that the Schedule's
for each employee can be entered manually so that there are simple layouts and no excess material to fill up the space.
So with this idea in mind what would be my first steps? I know I need the following things:
1. I want to be able to have a minimum of 3 tabs displaying the name of the display that would come from it. for example, If i click the button/tab that says "Schedule" then that tab would expand or present the content that IS the schedule for
the employee's or what has been set by the user to be displayed there.
2. I want to be able to expand the number of tabs with ease. Like a typical "+" button that would obviously add another tab that can be set up for another purpose while at the same time it is formatted to space itself on the main page with
the other tabs.
I know this is a lot at one time but I really just want to get some constructive feedback and if someone is awesome enough to actually write code for me then please please please put comments in the code so I can understand!
I appreciate any and all feedback!
Thank you

Seeking advice for backing up Xserve G5 w/ RAID PCI card

Hello all!
I'm a newbie to Macs and server admin, and I have inherited the job of setting up a server at work for file storage. I'll do my best to give a concise description of our set-up - I'm looking for some advice on the last few odds and ends... mainly how we can backup the system.
We bought an Xserve G5 with an option RAID PCI card. We have 3 500GB drives in the Xserve, configured to RAID 5 (giving us effectively 1TB of storage space). We will be using the server for data storage. About 20 computers will access the server over a network; we are using an assortment of Macs and PCS.
I am seeking advice on backup systems for the server. In the event that the RAID5 fails, we don't want to lose our data. We just need a snapshot of the server; we don't need to archive data or to take the HD offsite. Our old server just used Retrospect to run incremental backups every night (with a complete clean backup once a month). Our current thought is to attach large external hard drive to our admin computer (not the server directly) and run nightly backups as before.
The major points I have are:
-Any thoughts on reliable 1 TB external drives?
-Any recommendations on software that can backup from a RAID over a network? I found info for Retrospect Server 6.0 - it seems to do what we want, but is rather pricey.
Thanks in advance for any advice! I really appreciate it!
Xserve G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Greetings-
We all started out as newbies at one time or another-no worries. That is why we are here.
I personally use the Lacie branded drives. They are sturdy and reliable. My only thoughts here are to have at least three external drives-one for today's backup, one for a backup stored securely nearby, and one to be securely stored off-site. Rotate the drives daily so that your worst-case scenario will be a catastrophe that requires you to use a three-day old backup, depending upon how old your off-site backup is. Not ideal but better than the alternative. External drives are cheap enough these days to allow you to do this at a reasonable cost. Plus it is easy enough to throw one in a briefcase and tote it home for safety (just don't lose it!)
I would stay away from Retrospect. If you search these forums you will find several instances of folks having some serious issues with the program. I use a program called Carbon Copy Cloner that does the job nicely for my basement server. There are ways to do the backups via the command line interface as well but I am not so familiar with those commands. You may have to dig a little deeper to find something that works for you.
One of the other advantages of the FW external drive is that you can share it with other users, so perhaps you can set things up to have your network backups to go to that drive. Tis a thought.

Seeking advice on moving up to HDV editing

I appreciate folks on this forum who have assisted me in the past when I’ve had questions about iMovie, editing, burning DVDs etc. Karsten, Lennart, Bengt and others from around the world have been very kind and helpful. I am now seeking advice from anyone regarding “moving up” to the HDV world of video editing.
I recently "retired" my 2003 iMac G4 800 MHz flat screen and replaced it with an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel core 2 duo with a 320 GB hardrive and 4 GB of upgraded RAM. I have a 250 GB external drive as well. I also replaced my old Sony TRV-30 digital camcorder (a great old workhorse which is still going strong after 8 years) with a Canon Vixia HV40 that has high definition recording capability (uses mini DV tape).
I had been using iMovie HD 06 to edit my video projects along with iDVD and Toast 6 to burn them to DVD. I would like to start shooting HDV video with the new Canon, edit and burn the projects to Blu Ray high definition discs. MCE Technologies (among others, I believe) offer both internal and external Blu Ray burners. I don’t believe that the internal Blu Ray burner would work in my new iMac, but I may be wrong on that. (Does anyone know the answer?)
I believe that the MCE external Blu Ray burner would work with my equipment if attached to one of the Firewire ports or possibly through one of the USB 2 ports. (there is both a 400 and 800 Firewire port on this iMac model.) I was planning to acquire Final Cut Express as the editing program with Toast 10 Pro (plus the Blu Ray plug in) to burn the edited projects.
Will this work? Is there anything I should know before I plunge “headlong” into HDV editing? Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

I'm jealous.. wow! MY set-up..
HDV is supported by IMHD6.. just to mention that. so, HDV-editing is same as SD..
iMHD6 Export 'FullQuality' creates a file, which is HiDef too, for your Toast/BR workflow ..
HDV creates on import (IMHD6/FCE) huuuuuge files, 40-60GBs/h .. 250 extHDD = 6h, full..
actual price for extHDD with 1TB <100€ ..
keep in mind: internal harddrive has to offer any time 10-20GBs free..
not every BR-standalone-player accepts homebrewn disks..don't be disappointed...
Toast and iDVD can burn DVDs (=which offer SD only) from HiDef projects.. no need to 'convert'.. both apps downsize automatically...
FCE has a (very) steem learning curve.. totally different to iMovie.. no one-click-only, no templates, no ready-mades.. but zillions of options, 101% control.. (simple example: ken burns with zoom-to-zil and rotation and moving out of frame...)
buy a book of FC Mastermind and AppleDiscussions-Level5 supporter *Tom Wolsky* - he's a sensei, in-depth-knowledge, hands-on (=no tech blabla), easy to read and understand.
don't start with a project, start with 'tests for the trashbin'..

I created my first program-compiling error-help please

hey there
i just wanted my first program in java and here it is below with the eroor when i'm compiling it, i cant understand whats wrong:
public class SquareArea {
     public static void main(String[] args); {
     float length;
     float width;
     float SquareArea;
     System.out.println ("Please enter length"+ length);
     System.out.println ("Please enter width"+ width);
     SquareArea= length*width;
     System.out.println ("The area of the square is" + SquareArea);
The error is:C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\SquareArea.java:5: missing method body, or declare abstract
     public static void main(String[] args); {
^
1 error
Tool completed with exit code 1

There shouldn't be a semicolon between the ")" and the "{" near the end of that line.
With that semicolon, you're basically defining an empty, zero-size main method, and then throwing a bunch of garbage after it. That's what the compiler thinks anyway. Remove that semicolon and it should compile OK.
But it won't work super well, because you're not actually getting any input for length and width. It's just going to output this:
Please enter length0
Please enter width0
The area of the square is0

Problem compiling my first program; Please Help me!

Please HELP, what am I doing wrong?
For over 5hours I have been trying to figure out how to compile a simple Hello world program using sdk1.3.1_02/j2re1.3.1_02 and I am getting the following errors: helloworld.java:2 cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class string
location : class helloworld
cannot reolve the string symbol
symbol : class out
location : package system
I want to program in java so badly but I am trying to get my environment set so that I can take off. To compile my first program has been a disaster!!
This is my path:
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\JDK1.3.1_02\BIN
Thanks very much in advance

Java is case sensitive,
use String instead of string. and System.out instead of system.out

How to execute the first program without using SUBMIT and RETURN

Hi Experts,
My requirement is , I need to select thet value from VA02 at runtime and need to pass that value to VF01 transaction and press save then it creates proforma document.The created document we can see in VA02 by clicking on document flow.
My program is processed through OUTPUT TYPE.
To get this functionality i written coding like this.
1) i am selecting the value at runtime from VA02 using FORM ROUTINE.Now iam passing this selected value to VF01 for
genarate proforma document using BDC.Here the problem is,first time when i am selecting the value form VA02 at runtime it is in open status,now my BDC code need to update the value in VA02 only.so locking problem occurres the document is not getting updated.
To overcome this problem i have done changes like this......
2) i splited my program into two parts, that is into two programs.
a) In first program i am only selecting the value form VA02 at runtime using FORM ROUTINE and in this program i have written SUBMIT statement to call another program there my BDC code will create documet and update in VA02,upto here everything is doing fine,
But here again the problem is when i process OUTPUT type my program is triggering and giving correct result but the status is not changing form YELLOW to GREEN.Why means when SUBMIT statement trigger, control is going to second program and creating a new document,but not coming to first program so the status is not changing as the first prohram is still processing. .If i write RETURN along with SUBMIT the VA02 is in open STATUS only, till control comes to first program.so it will not uodate document in VA02.
If i execute all line in my program status will automatically change from YELLOW to GREEN how to acheive this
please suggest me the solution.

I would do 2 things:
1) be sure to do a COMMIT WORK AND WAIT
2) refresh your display in calling program
the point 2) can be done by submitting the program again (or the transaction) with the same parameters

Seeking advice: moving universe between systems

Hi all,
I've been spending some time trying to work through the Business Objects documentation to try and understand what's involved in migrating a Universe from a non-SQL Server based system to a SQL Server based system.
I'm seeking advice not having used Business Objects as I am attempting to estimate the work involved for a customer who currently uses BO. I don't know whether it's just a simple exercise of changing the database connection, or whether more work is involved. I've tried to get this information through SAP formally, but not currently being a BO customer they've refused to answer any questions.
During the course of the migration of the underlying data tables, some columns in some tables have changed their data-type (e.g., from smalldatetime to datetime, or changes in length/precision). I'm also not sure if the tables have changed name: in the old system, they are named in a SQL type manner (i.e. <prefix>.<tablename>) however in SQL Server the objects will be placed in a database named <prefix> with each table being named <tablename>.
Would this potentially require a full drop of every object in the Universe, or could this exercise be achieved without having to remove and re-add any objects by saying "this object in the Universe is now this object in the database".
Any advice welcome.
Cheers,
Chris...

Hi Chris,
The universe is quite a simple tool in that it maps the sql directly to objects. So if the universe points to a table name that is no longer present, you wil get an error in the report, or when you check the integrity of the universe (tools, check integrity)
The standard formats will move accross without an issue, however it is possible to use vendor specific code in objects. So for instance I could write
nvl(my_table.my_col, 0) in Oracle
or
IsNull(my_table.my_col, 0) in MS SQL.
If you objects contain these defintions then your job is going to get harder.

Alan

Seeking advice on SAP/cloud

Hello all,
Will be doing proof-of-concept on SAP on cloud, installing ERP and seeking advice/feedback.
Based on the criteria of easier installation and faster delivery (and of course success story), what will be the recommended combination of platform (LINUX, Windows) and database (Oracle, MS SQL, MAXDB, DB2).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Terry

There are lots of documents in SDN and other forums which will give much better idea ... but these are my observation
Installation - Once you have gone past the access process to the cloud environment, after that you can hardly differentiate whether you are on doing a install on cloud or non-cloud. Though definately the time to get the infrastructure for install is much faster.
Windows or Linux - I would put it as windows or Unix, not sure how many providers offer other flavors of Unix apart from Linux. But obviously the Product itself to some extent will govern what you choose, as has been the case in non-cloud env.
Database - Again have seen Oracle and DB2 being mostly used. Not sure why, may be stuff like doing system refresh in 15 min , etc are easier to achieve with products like Oracle and DB2.
Regards,
Neel
I dont have any exposure to windows on cloud. So i am not aware of specific positives it might have in cloud.

How to find First Program run in the Current Month in Foreground?

Dear Experts,
My requirement is that i need to find the First Program run date in the Current Month in foreground. The user must be allowed to run the Report only once for a month and if the next time he runs in the same month, it should not allow him to do so.
Is there any Function Modules available? How to achieve this?
Regards,
Ramesh Manoharan

Hello Ramesh,
May be you can try with this code:
INITIALIZATION.
DATA:
v_date TYPE datum,
wa_indx TYPE indx.
* Import the date to INDX table
IMPORT date = v_date
    FROM DATABASE indx(xy)
    TO   wa_indx
    CLIENT sy-mandt
    ID 'DATE'.
IF v_date IS NOT INITIAL.
    IF v_date+0(6) = sy-datum+0(6). "Check YYYYMM is same
      "Give your error message & exit
    ELSE.
      v_date = sy-datum.
*     Export the date to INDX table
      EXPORT date = v_date
        TO DATABASE indx(xy)
        FROM   wa_indx

Writing my first program....

Okay my first programming assignment is to write a program that requests an amount of money and will then calculate how many quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies it takes to get that number. I do wanna figure this out by myself, but since im new to JAVA i was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas and/or hints as to maybe where a good place to start is.....

A good way to start is for you to do what the program needs to do, and write down the steps involved.
Assume you start with $1.01
What would you do first?
next?
and so on.
Each statement should consist on only one action.
By the time you finish, you've pretty well outlined what the program needs to do.
Then you can start figuring out wha program instructions are needed.

First program on Zed board

I have just got our Zed board.
Can you please help me in locating my first program for Zynq w.r.t:
1- PS section
2- PL section
3- Both in communication.
I just want a minimal design to get into.

Have you tried to just Google "zedboard tutorial" there are tons of tutorials out there. Go to zedboard.org support and look around. You can find some here: Zedboard Tutorials, In the tutorials is a step by step guild to build a simple PS/PL design that interacts with the switches and leds. If I remember there are two main tutorials, one is bare-metal (don't need to boot Linux) and the other requires Linux up and running via the SD interface.

Seeking advice on my first build, $3000 budget, please critique. Thanks!

Hey all,
Been lurking around here for some time now and I must say it's been interesting. A bit of background before we get to the good part: I'm a freelance website designer (one that does a lot of graphic design), so my workhorses are Ps and Ai, but lately I've been getting more and more freelance film work. I've reached a crossroads as my current system struggles to handle the load in Pr, especially in AE. I've decided to build a kickass system that will hopefully improve my workflow enough to take me more down the film path (in addition to dominating my Ps and Ai needs). This will be my first build, so all advice is welcome and much appreciated. I've tried pretty hard to do some research before posting, and here's what I've come up with:
The Build:
Category
My Choice
Price($USD)
Comments
CPU
Intel Core i7-3930K Sandy Bridge-E 3.2GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 2011 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor
569.99
Is it worth waiting until the Ivy Bridge 4930K comes out? Looks like that won't be till the fall..
GPU
EVGA 04G-P4-3687-KR GeForce GTX 680 FTW+ w/Backplate 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
589.99
Would you choose the 680 over the 580?
mobo
ASUS Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
324.99
I honestly know nothing about mobos.. should I be concerned that this is from 2011? Is this overkill?
RAM
Kingston 64GB (4 x 16GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 ECC Registered Server Memory DR x4 Model
519.99
Is Kingston a good brand? This seems like quite a deal.
disks
1x Samsung Pro 840 series 128GB SSD, 2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 3TB 7200 RPM RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
420.97
SSD for OS&programs, 1HDD for media, 1HDD for cache and exports. This is the area I'm thinking I might improve on as I'm a bit under budget. What additional disks/purposes do you recommend? Seems like I shouldn't bother with RAID unless I get more disks.
PSU
CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC
129.99
Seems like a good PSU/cooling unit. Don't know much here though.
Case
Fractal Design Define XL R2 FD-CA-DEF-XL-R2-BL Black Pearl Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
149.99
I like that this has 2 audio jacks. Has 8 internal 3.5'' drive bays, 4 external 5.25'' drive bays, and 9 "expansion slots", whatever those are. It does not mention 2.5'' bays, so I assume it has none. Does that mean I won't be able to mount my SSD? Should I go with a different case for that reason?
Total:
2689.91
So I'm a bit under budget. What do you think would be the best components to upgrade?
I'm thinking I might get 3 more Barracuda 3TBs (or maybe smaller to cut the cost a bit), put 4 of them in RAID3 for media, keep the leftover drive for exports and scratch. Does that sound like a good idea? If I did this, I think I would also get this controller: Areca ARC-1213-4X PCI-Express 2.0 x8 Low Profile SATA / SAS 4-Port PCIe 2.0 External SAS/SATA RAID Controller. Coming in at 389.99, it's not cheap, but I am willing to go a bit over budget if it will make a big enough difference. With this RAID setup, I'd be looking at around $3300, which is pretty much my max. Thanks in advance for your help!!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I will be running CS5.5, probably going to go for the cloud upon release of CS???

Mkudisch, it looks like a great PC you're going to build, it looks pretty much like the one i've built a couple months ago, I'm not a master pc builder but I would like to give you a little advice about the componenets:
CPU: Great choice, I have the same cpu.
GPU: it looks like a great gpu, just one thing if you plan to overclock it you should buy one with better airflow (at least 2 fans), I have an asus gtx 670 4 gb.
MOBO: great choice, probably you already now it, it is a 2011 model but if your saying it because the name says LGA 2011 it means that it is socket 2011 the one for sandy bridge-e cpus, (I have a P9X79 WS mobo)
RAM: probably I'm wrong but as far as I know all Asus X79 mobos will only take 8gbs sticks per slot and not 16 gbs ones, you should probably look for 8x8gbs quad channel, I have G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 8X8gbs and they're great, if you want search for any other brand model but first check if you mobo will take 16gbs sticks per slot.
Disks: great SSD, I've heard a lot of great things about samsung 840 PRO.
PSU: I think you should consider at least a 1000W PSU, in case you want to add another gpu or more hdds in the future you will be already covered, Corsair it's a great brand also stay away from any Rosewill PSUs I bought a 1300w lightning series and that piece of crap exploded 30 seconds after turning it on.
Case: don't know about that case but it looks like a great choice I have a HAF X 942.
Also you forgot about a CPU cooler, there's a lot of great cpu coolers, I would recommend you Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 that's the one I have (and it's great if you plan to overclock you i7-3930K) just make sure the cpu cooler you buy is compatible with you cpu, if you buy Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 make sure it will fit in you case because that cooler is HUGE!.
Well that's my advice like I told you before I'm not an expert or anything just another guy like you who built a PC similar to the one you want to build.
