Hi Khan
The first servers to be updated in a site are the Mailbox servers even if they are member of DAG.Ensure the DAG node you are updating is in maintainence mode. The Client Access servers are updated second. If you have multi-role servers installed then
both roles are updated at the same time anyway, and you should simply start with the internet-facing servers.
First, you will need to remove any UM language packs that you have installed in previous version. From an elevated cmd prompt navigate to the folder where you have extracted the Exchange 2013 SP1 files and run setup with the /RemoveUMLanguagePack switch. For
example, to remove the “en-us” language pack.

Session/jstl and load balancing - need expert advice

After user loggs in, I am getting locale from db and storing it inside userSession along with userLogin. Inside jsp using <fmt> tag to display locale based resource property.
HttpSession userSession = request.getSession(true);
userSession.setAttribute("UserLogin", oRS.getString("user_login"));
Config.set(userSession, Config.FMT_LOCALE, currentLocale);Also using filter after login page to check for User Session. Currently all working fine .
But if i want to make use of load balancing, whether still it will work?
1)I understand that if i depend on network config i.e. session request sticks to one server then i believe shld not be a problem
2)But if that is not the choice then what else ? Client want to make use of serialization technique. I do not know much about it, how to implement it, any sample is greatly appreciated.
3)what about jstl Config.set(..) whether any changes needed here?
4)Do i need to change filter code.
Pls pls help me, i really need expert advice on this.
regards
Manisha

1)If i want cluster server to replicate the session
then all attributes saved in the session have to be
serializable.yes.
2)In docs it is mentioned
Use setAttribute to Change Session State
In an HTTP servlet that implements
javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, use
HttpSession.setAttribute (which replaces the
deprecated putValue) to change attributes in a
session object. If you set attributes in a session
object with setAttribute, the object and its
attributes are replicated in a cluster using
in-memory replication. If you use other set methods
to change objects within a session, WebLogic Server
does not replicate those changes. Every time a change
is made to an object that is in the session,
setAttribute() should be called to update that object
across the cluster.
Whether it means that if I want to store a object
(which is serializable) e.g. 'String' inside session
and use setAttribute() method then I do not need to
make that object implicitly serializable?No, you still need the objects to be serializable.

Need Expert advice on choosing Source System for creating/maint Customers.

Hi Experts,
Iam on project where we have CRM,ECC(SD),FICA in the System Landscape.The client is currently using ECC(SD) Customer master for creating/maintainig Customer's.As we have CRM & FICA in this implementation, we are planning to propose that we use CRM as the source system for creating/maintaing Customers as Business Partners & Perform standard replication to the other system's in the landscape.
The client has has asked us to confirm if having CRM as the source is the Best practice in the industry when we have this three systems (CRM,FICA,ECC(SD)) Landscape.I thought to get some expert advice on this & see if any of you have a similar project experience & share some views on this CRM BP vs ECC(SD) Customer Master.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Naveen

Hi,
I believe it depends on your business senario.Here I can share some my experience for you.
CRM As Source System
Advantage:
1) Choosing CRM as source system ,you can create several roles of customer for tracking the presales process of customer，such as prospect ,sold to party ,customers ,also you can define the life cycle of your customer and control which life cycle of customer should be replicated to ECC and which one should not.
2) CRM can have more views of customer and customer defined field (EEWB fields) ,so if you choose CRM as Source it will be more convenient to create and fill in the all your user defined field .In other words ,choosing ECC as source you have to extend these field again in CRM .
3） easy to maintain customer relationship
Disadvantages：
1） Have to extend Company code view of Customer data, since CRM do not have these view ,it is just used for billing and integration with financial accounts.
2） have to extend some particular partner function of customer ,it is because of CRM it is only possible to create part of partner function automatically like SP ,BP when business partner is replicating to ECC.
ECC As the source
Oppositely， if you choose ECC as the source ,the advantage become disadvantage.
Advantage :
1) Can Easily to create customer's data of company code view
2) Can easily to assign any partner function to customer
To conclude， if you only need to create sales order in ECC ，I believe choosing ECC as Lead system is better, since you do not have to extend customer data and easily to integrate with FICO and SD.Howerver, if you are going to create a sales order from opportunity or quotation ,CRM is your best choice.

Need conceptual advice for 16:9/4:3 menus

Hi,
First off I should say that I am undertaking my most ambitious DVD project to date and I am in well over my head. I want to order a book(s) and would appreciate any advice regarding which book(s) might best deal with the type of issues I am about to explain. BTW I am still using DVD Studio Pro 2.
So here it is:
I have a 16:9 feature and 16:9 menus. My issue is their appearance in 4:3.
When displayed on a 4:3 monitor, I want the 16:9 menus cropped to full frame (pan and scan) and the feature to play 4:3 letterboxed. Since it seems like there might be some counter-intuitive aspects to this process, some general conceptual guidance on the authoring and menu design would be great. I am hoping that the authoring can be done with this sort of “mix and match” way and not pan and scan OR forced letter box for both menus AND video. Here is what I am sussing out so far:
1) I should set “force to pan and scan” in the disc inspector. I am assuming that this setting is ONLY for the menus (as they appear on 4:3). And if I am forcing a pan and scan crop of the menus I can just use the same overlay file for both 16:9 and 4:3. I just need to make sure my 16:9 menus are visible and can function once cropped to 4:3.
2) Regarding the video tracks: It looks like I might have to put the feature on two different tracks, one designated to play 4:3 and the other to play 16:9 letterbox in the track inspector? (why it is not labeled 4:3 letterbox and 16:9 is still a mystery to me). And it is at this point (that soon!) that things start to get cloudy. Because suddenly it seems that if I do that, I need two separate menus (rather than the 16:9 doubling as the 4:3), a16:9 one to point to the 16:9 video track and the 4:3 to point to the 4:3 letterboxed video track. Ideally a 16:9 the menu would point to track 1 and it would play 16:9, and when watching a 4:3 the 16:9 menu would automatically crop to 4:3 letterbox and point to track 1 which would then play 4:3 letterbox. Is that just some crazy dream or can it really work like that? So what is the story here?
3) If I am forced to use two separate menus, a whole other series of questions are raised. But I won’t go there just yet.
So you can easily see that I really have little idea of what I am doing in this regard and am in need of some expert advice. Thanks in advance.
-Thomas

Hi Thomas
If you are using DVD Stuido Pro 2 Force to Pan and Scan doesn't work. Not sure if it works in later version of DVD-SP (Don't think it did in V3 and not sure about V4). We do quite a few widescreen 16:9 movies and I'd do it like this: If you feature is 16:9 set that to 16:9 Letterbox. On the Disc Properties (i.e. click on the disc at the uppermost part of the disc layout set the Menus to Force to letterbox. Create your menus in 16:9 and set them to 16:9 Letterbox.
That way when the disc is played on a widescreen set the menus and track will display as widescreen (as they should) and when played on a 4:3 set they display with Letterbox - apart from the fact that the Force Pan and Scan doesn'y work properly (the highlights on your menus won't line up properly), I personally think this is preferable... especially when it comes to the movie itself. When a movie is Pan and Scanned on broadcast tv (which happens less and less these days) the film's action is "tracked" so that the most important info is displayed on screen and Pan and Scan Vectors are created. If you set your track so that it displays as 4:3 on a 4:3 set then basically you will only see the centre of the screen/action. Why would you want that? I thiunk most people with 4:3 sets are used to seeing widescreen letterboxed movies these days.
Hope that helps
Steve

Need usablility expert advice for an ncurses based pacman frontend

Hi,
I am working on a frontend for pacman using ncurses/python/pyalpmm. It is in really early stage of development. So i need advice about usability aspects of the program .
Screenshot http://omploader.org/vMXVhaQ
The program will mostly be useful for searching and browsing ( nothing can beat pacman for installation and updating )
Ideas(some implemented, some not yet )
1) It has a 3 pane layout like most of the other package managers.(Suggestions for any better layout ? )
2) Uses vim based keybindings ( j/k = up/down, / = search, tab = switch between panes i=install, d=remove ?=help )
3) few more options to show orphans etc
4) planning to implement a tree based layout showing deps
5) Also a sort by real size option for installed packages (like Allans script )
6) pick and choose updates is also something which i have been missing for long time.
The idea is to keep the interface as clean/simple as possible
All ideas and suggestions are welcome
Dont miss your chance to get on the scrolling credits screen

This looks really nice. I am looking forward to it.
1) It has a 3 pane layout like most of the other package managers.(Suggestions for any better layout ? )
This would be fine. The other suggestion with panes on top would work as well. I guess panes on top (i.e. a stacked layout) would save space.
2) Uses vim based keybindings ( j/k = up/down, / = search, tab = switch between panes i=install, d=remove ?=help )
Vim is so confusing. Please make a Emacs keybinding as as well And of course an intuitive dummy mode (arrows, space|enter=mark etc)
All ideas and suggestions are welcome
Maybe a feature to sort by type of program. I.e. X programs, cli programs etc. I think Zendo/zpm for Zenwalk/Slackware is really great and something similar to your project, although not in ncurses.

Need a Advice for move from peoplesoft to SAP BI

Hi Yxu,
I see what you mean now. It sounds like you'll need to pull in the tables from various studio databases and also edit some of the native studio application tables to associate the new tables. Unfortunately I've never tried this and don't have any instructions I can share with you. In terms of the portlets, i'm not sure how easy it would be to migrate them. You could upgrade the various WCI instances to 10g then use the migration utility to move the studio portlets to your main wci 10g instance. Or like you said, create new portlets. Keep in mind direct manipulation of your databases can render your product unsupportible by technical support. The more supportable alternative may be to just build all the studio databases and portlets from scratch in the new instance.

Ryan

Need webcam advice for older Powerbook

Hello!
I've had my G4 aluminum Powerbook for about 5 or 6 years, and it is a wonderful machine. I recently upgraded to Tiger. I connect to the Internet wirelessly through Airport and a router connected to my husband's desktop G4.
I am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to accomplish one thing: I'd like to set up a webcam at home on my machine to watch my dogs while I'm at work (on a PC). I understand the iSight is no longer available, and Apple tells me it has a lovely Logitech Quickcam Ultra Vision that will allow me to chat with video. But I don't think chat will work work: I want a streaming video to come from my webcam that I can access through the Internet at work.
First, is this possible, given my set-up. And second, would the Logitech work and with what software?
Many thanks for your wise advice.

Here are two fantastic resources for you.
1) Macam, which has a list of ALL compatible webcams with Mac OS X, via USB
[http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/index.php]
2) iChatUSB, which is a software/plug-in that also lets you use certain webcams
[http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.html]
There's also this one:

The best one I've tried out so far, but returned because I didn't really need it after all (it was for a short-term project at work, and then after the project was shelved, I returned the webcam to the, er, shelves. Ha ha) is the Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Pro.
It has built-in support and you don't need third party extensions. The clarity is great! Crystal clear images, both video and stills. It has a Carl Zeiss lens, if I remember correctly. And it works right out of the box.
Just be careful to get the right model number. There is a note of this on those first two sites above. A note about an earlier version (part no.) but same box could mean the difference between it working and not working. Something about UVC compliance.

In need of advice for backing up HD Video

So we returned from a vacation,
where I shot all the video in HD 1080p.
We got back, and I used Final Cut Express to convert the AVCHD files from .mkv to .mov files.
All together, the total files come to a whopping 78.93 GB. Wow.
I need to back these up to DVD's or something
(My wife says she doesnt want them on an external hard drive, her last one died)
is there a way I could compress these?
or should I use quicktime/visualhub to bring down the quality a little?
any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Solutions:
1) ignore the wife and backup to a good hard drive such as a LaCie quadra. usb or firewire.
2) Buy Time Capsule and backup to it.
3) what would i do? Use MPEGStreamClip to make mp4 files , to control the file size. The picture will still look very good but it does not do 5.1 channel sound. Handbrake does but since the file is HD probably will crash while encoding so will VisualHub. Another consideration, MPEGStreamClip on a 2 gig HD movie will take 15 hrs on a Mac pro let alone an iMac.
Currently not too many programs will do HD encoding.
4) backup to optical disc, I'd never do that ; too many compatibilty issues with different drives perceived for future usage.
5) back to the wife, user should alway have three backup stategies; ie main drive then backup # 1 then backup #2. I've backup to external and internal hard drives for over a decade without problems.

Seeking Expert Advice for Voiceover Recording

I am a beginner and have recorded some VOs. I have the basics down (find a room with few parallel surfaces, porous ones like foam are better still, quiet room etc) I think but I was wondering if anyone had any links to more best practices that can make me look an expert. Thanks in advance.

What matters most is SOUNDING like an expert. Obtaining dynamic, strong, clear recordings depends on a lot of factors. Obviously, the environment is important: for voiceovers you'll want an acoustically dead room with no echoes, nor ambient background or external noises. (Things to look for include air conditioners, busy hallways next to or above the recording room, etc.)
You'll want a quality microphone geared for recording voice, probably a good pre-amp, and a quality audio device, quality cables that don't receive interference from power cords, cell phones, etc. You may or may not have a separate mixer, but that will certainly be helpful in allowing your voice talent to hear themselves speak through headphone monitors. You'll often want to run a separate bus to their headphones with a small amount of reverb added to help them distinguish what they're hearing through the headphones from their own voice. You'll also want a pop shield between the speaker and the microphone, and an adjustable microphone stand.
Your talent will probably want to stand, maintaining good posture and an open diaphragm while they speak, and will need to keep a constant distance from the microphone. Give them water or tea, but avoid sticky liquids like fruit juice or soda.
Unless you have a mixer that support monitoring, you won't be able to monitor via software when recording with Soundbooth. If you find yourself wanting to setup a more robust recording environment, I would recommend taking a look at Adobe Audition 3.0. There's a 30-day trial, and you should be able to configure complex setups with live monitoring, real-time effects, and more advanced compression and clean-up tools.
Good luck!
