Near line storage and FCSvr

Our xraid is filling up quick, is there a cheap alternative to buying vtracks and stacking them for archiving footage near-line? We're eating up disc space at a furious rate. Is there a solution where we can take large amounts of clips and send them off to a separate system where they can be slowly retrieved if need be?

You can purchase cheaper External Disks (Like FW 800 Drives) and use FCSvr's built in Archive function after setting those up as archive devices.
That said, buying 10 external hard drives you may as well buy a VTrak.
If you want to archive to a tape based HSM via FCSvr, you're gonna spend a lot of money.
In a way, a Vtrak is cheaper in the long run.

How to configure near-line storage for BI archiving?

I have searched the web but failed to find any info.
Would you please provide some link or blog here? Thanks!

Hi Diana,
If you solved your problem then Please tell how to configure Near Line Storage Connection. currently we have SAP BW 7.3 and Database Oracle 11. Do we need to install any NLS addon/Database or any setting we need to do at Database level to enable NLS in sap bw as i read some were that we need same third party tool for this.

BW NLS(Near Line storage) a

Dear Gurus
We are planning to go for a POC on Near Line storage. I am looking into the online documents. If any one of you guys are already using the NLS solution, I would like to know more details about.
1. About your experience with NLS
2. Pros and Cons if any?
3. What is the compression factor you all got on the data.
4. Data model changes - like activating nav attributes is easy to implement or time taking
5. Share details about your POC, how you have tested the product.
6. Any interesting facts about NLS.
Can share any personal experience related to it.
Thank you guys in advance

Hi Martin,
using the class 'CL_RSDA_INFOPROV_QUERY' I can read only data from online DB. Infact the report dumps when I set the parameter i_storage_selection = 'N'.
This is the code:
s_field_selection-fieldname = '/BIC/ZEIOSOC'.
s_field_selection-component_index = '1'.
s_field_selection-component_name = 'ZEIOSOC'.
APPEND s_field_selection TO t_field.
s_field_selection-fieldname = '/BIC/ZEIODIRTE'.
s_field_selection-component_index = '2'.
s_field_selection-component_name = 'ZEIODIRTE'.
APPEND s_field_selection TO t_field.
s_field_selection-fieldname = '/BIC/ZEIOBLDAT'.
s_field_selection-component_index = '3'.
s_field_selection-component_name = 'ZEIOBLDAT'.
APPEND s_field_selection TO t_field.
s_field_selection-fieldname = '/BIC/ZEKCLIFAT'.
s_field_selection-component_index = '4'.
s_field_selection-component_name = 'ZEKCLIFAT'.

Near Line Storage

Hi Experts,
My question is regarding the near line storage archiving in SAP BI.
Ex : PBS is one vendor which provides Nearline storage with the help of sybase IQ.
Is there any NLS Provider which uses sequel server as the nearline storage.
can you please share your thoughts asap.
Thanks
vamsi

You do not need BIA

NLS(Near Line Storage) Step by Step Implementation

Hi Experts,
Our current system has data in the info cubes which dates back to 10 years.
Business demands that they cant discard old data.
We have proposed archiving of data older than 7 years and NLS for data older than 3 years.
I guess archiving can be done by BW team with slight cost of disk storage.
I have gone through this road map for NLS given below, and noted that extra costs involved in purchasing the third party tools for NLS process.
Can anyone throw some light on the justification that we need tell the client for this cost, (is it just the query optimization)
http://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-datamanagement?rid=/library/uuid/cfbb8965-0901-0010-c6ac-c30a7a3c748e#q-3
Please Suggest
Thanks
El

Simon, Thanks for the reply
1) I understand the importance of NLS, but if we implement NLS, the data will be stored in a third party location?
Correct me if I am wrong
If this is the scenario, then the clients might not agree to their data being stored elsewhere.
2) Is there any step by step guide for BW team to follow if we implement NLS or is it complete taken care by the third party vendors.
Thanks
El

Near Line Storage Server

Hello,
We are in process of implementing NLS for our BW Application. The BW application is as follows:
SAP BW: NW 7.0 EhP1 SPS 15
OS : Win 2008
DB : MS SQL 2012
DB Size : 6 TB
I have gone through with NLS guide "SAP First Guidance - SAP-NLS Solution with Sybase IQ.pdf", I have doubts regarding Server requirement for NLS.
- Does NLS requires a separate Hardware similar to BWA ?
- Is there any specific Server configuration we need to take care to start this project ?
- Also, any specific requirement for Windows or Unix platform
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards,
Kshitiz Goyal

Hi,
with your query what i understood is you people planning to do data archiving from BW to NLS system.
please find my comments below.
-Does NLS requires a separate Hardware similar to BWA ?
NLS is one kind of interface which we use in the archiving process based on your requirement you can use any DB as external storage for data archiving purpose.
-Is there any specific Server configuration we need to take care to start this project ?
if you are BW consultant please pass this to your BASIS or ADMIN team because we are not suppose to do all this activity.
- Also, any specific requirement for Windows or Unix platform?
i think this is also BASIS or SAP people needs to address regarding the platform and all.

Harish

Is Near Line Storage (NLS) ONLY for BI archiving?

Gurus:
Is NLS also used for data archiving in other business modules?
At least I cannot find any info about that.
Thanks!

Hi,
in the SAP context NLS is only for BI. (There are hardware solutions that also use the name NearLine Storage)
The reason is that SAP only offers the NLS interface for BI.
In ERP there is no standard NLS interface offered, probably because the access to the DB is hard coded in the transactions. In BI there is a central analytical engine, so here a central interface can be offered.
For ERP, CRM, etc. there are vendors that offer a similar functionality, allowing access to archived data either in the standard transactions or similar to standard transactions.
best regards,
Joseph

HT4910 I have 2 lines and on 1 of the main phone I went to settings then storage & backup automatically it showed how much space i have which was not allot and it also showed the other line storage space. I click on manage storage and it used to show both

I was told that I have 14.9 gb of space on my phone when my total is 15gb. I was adviced to free storage and to click on settings and manage my storage by either purchase more or turning off or deleting some of the back ups. When I went in to settings then to icloud it usually would of showed me both phone storage memory and when I started going down my list and turning off some of the apps from back ups of certain app all of a sudden I couldnt no longer see my phone storage memory or my account name for that matter. Now I only see the other line username and storage space that the other phone has.
What can I do? I used to see the list of all the apps I have on icloud and now its empty and it tells me I have available 13.4 gb available.
Please advice. Thank you
Patricia

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

FCP/Compressor keep exporting horizontal green lines near the top and bottom mattes. What do I do?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to export a:
1920x1080
29.97
Interlaced
ProRes 422 HQ
to:
DVD Best Quality (90 minutes) in Compressor
Quality all the way high
Mpeg-2
in Final Cut Pro and/or Compressor (both so far export with the green lines) and so far it has been to no avail. They show up right on the edge near the mattes. Most forums talk about a vertical green line but I am having problems with horizontal lines near the top and bottom.
Any ideas? Thanks.

If you are sending your file via share to Compressor I would try this instead:
Export a QT reference(not self-contained or using QT conversion) file of your sequence to your desktop.
Then:
Turn on frame controls in the MPG-2 setting and set all to best. Changing all settings to best will increase your render time greatly. You may want to do a :30 or 1min test.
In my experience Compressor can be inconsistent with HD to SD DVD MPG-2 conversion. Sometimes it works wonderfully and others times it does not.
I have had success with having FC do the SD conversion first.
Create a new 16x9 SD sequence
Add HD seq to SD and render
Export SD and then compress for DVD.

Can you help me on something? I restored my iPod and everything I had was gone. (What I Wanted) But then when I looked at my Usage It said I only have 22.5 GB Available and I Used 6.0 But I didn't. I also looked at my Backup storage and it still had all of my backup from before I restored. I deleted all my backup because it said I used all of my Backup Available. And now when I try and backup it says there is no more room or whatever to backup and Its 5/5.

I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money? Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound? Will I need adaptors and a interface?

Can anybody help?

Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

You have entirely too little free space on the boot drive, for best performance it's best to have hard drives only 50% filled max and never more than 80% filled.
See Storage Drive here and reduce some space also make a seperate bootable clone backup of all your data BEFORE upgrading
Most commonly used backup methods
see here for how to find your disk space
Why is my computer slow?
If you upgrade and it doesn't go right or slows the machine down you might need to erase and install, which all your programs will have to be reinstalled from original sources and files from backup.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
If you can't do this, then hire a local PC/Mac specialist.
Do not upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 on that older machine, it will slow down and you will lose all your PPC based programs.
Leave the Lions for a brand new machine with a SSD drive.

What is "other" in storage and how do I reduce it

what is "other" in storage and how do I reduce it

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
In Photos:
File ▹ Show Recently Deleted ▹ Delete All
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
For ODS:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
For GP:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password.
The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video.

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video. I attached a image below.

ATR, just to make sure you understand me, all my video clips in my folders appear as the first frame of the video clip when I view my folders as (small, medium, large)icons instead of lists, when saved as .avi files but when saved as .mp4 files, those icons display as a graphic icon of filmstrip with a musical note on it. I do have various other methods to open with (quick time, windows media, winamp or real player) but prefer real player because I like it's quick and easy trimmer that comes along with it, since so many of my videos are just pet antics where you need to clip off the boring beginning and ends of the video.
I did go on a few of the icons and right clicked, Open With, and tried quick time and also Windows Media and it did nothing as far as how the file was saved for display, and they opened the same no matter which player I used...the actual video opens and plays right at it's first frame... but it's the way it is visually displayed in STORAGE that bugs me because it isn't immediately apparent to me what it is a video of (weddings, outside the house, pet antics)... it makes me have to actually title things and read titles where before I let it just be dates because I had the visual of that first frame as a reference. Obviously, this is a problem for unedited videos only, as anything I actually work with, I do give a title along with the date of the video.
I also just realized this seems to be the way ALL videos that are wrapped in .mp4 are displayed, as my bloggie camera's videos appear the same way. Now I know why! My other videos display as .avi's so I see the frame. Puzzle solved. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, as it seems to be how things display with the various formats.
Now I need to watch some tutorials to learn how this Premiere program works! It's all new to me, since this is the first time I've been able load any of my videos onto it. I haven't even been able to figure out how to trim on it yet!
