Need to create a VM (VDMK) of existing OS X 10.7
I need to upgrade my Mac Pro to Mavericks from Lion (10.7) to get the most out of iOS 7 and new iOS devices. However, I have years and years of customization, as well as a number of apps that will not even run properly under Mountain Lion, let alone Mavericks. In addition, I want to be able to keep running iTunes 10.x (because iTunes 11.x ***** big time, and lacks multiple windows, which is a full-on deal breaker).
I know I can install a fresh Lion Server to a VM under Fusion, Parallels, et al, but what I really want to do is effectively clone my current System drive running 10.7 Lion (I am prepared to upgrade it to Server to satisfy EULAs) to a VDMK virtual machine; this way, I do not have to spend dozens of hours reinstalling apps, customizations, etc., and can simply launch the VM of the old system to perform any tasks runnng apps I do not wish, or indeed cannot if I wanted, to run under Mavericks.
I found the Parragon tool that makes virtual machnes out of Leopard and Snow Leopard disks, but it doesn't support Lion or Mountain Lion.
Does anyone know of a procedure to convert an existing HDD or DMG image to a VDMK? I prefer Fusion, but will purchase Parallels or run another VM if need be.
If not, has anyone ever sucessfully "restored from a clone" inside a VM? IOW, if I have OS X running in a VM installed from scratch, can I boot from another virtual partition (virtual Startup Disk) in order to clone to the primary virtual disk from a DMG created by Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper? I would rather not try to use Migration Assistant, as I have enough trouble using it on actual hardware.
Thanks for any help.
@webgreen thanks! I can't believe in over an hour of googling I couldn't find that article. It's a bit fuzzy on a couple of points, but I will try it out and report back.
I hoped it was as simple as running CCC inside the VM, but I was missing something, and that article points out a couple obscure points I was not seeing with my limited hammering.
Many, many thanks.

Help needed in creating File Directory if not exist
hi, All
I am thinking about wite files to directories based on year, month, day. if the directory for that year or month or day exists already, do not create the directory, but write the file to that directory.
For example: 2003/02/22/file.txt --2003/02/22 exist, just write file.txt
If the directory does not exist, the program will create the direcotry and write the file into the right directory.
For example 2003/02/22/file.txt, ---2003/02/22/ does not exist, the program will create the directoies and write file file.txt
If anyone can provide any example or suggestion, I really appreciate!
Thanks
SteveHi!
Just have a look at the class "File"
and it's method "exists()".
Hope, that helps.

I am working on many projects and my bookmark folders suffice. I need to create new folders, but not "Smart Folders." After over 2 hours, I keep coming back to the same description of how to add new folders to existing ones. NOT what I want to do. This used to be easy, but the set up must have changed as I've been trying to do this all day with no success.
Also, somehow my gmail inbox appears twice in my bookmarks toolbar. Again, I am finding information that does not apply to me in help and former question files and links. How do I remove things from my bookmarks toolbar?
Thank you and PLEASE, oh Please e-mail the answer to me as I seem to have problems with your site.Open the Bookmarks Library, to do that in the Bookmarks menu select "Organize Bookmarks"
In the Bookmarks Library, in the left hand pane click on "Bookmarks Toolbar" to select it, now in the Organize menu select "New Folder".
If you have the capability to right-click, you can also right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar and select New Folder.

How to create a Group from an existing email -
I just want to create a Group from an existing email received. Don't want to add people individually to Address Book, then drag them to the Group. Would prefer to copy/paste the addresses into the Group. I'm part of a team at work wth 25 people! Do I really have to add their addresses individually? Seems ridiculous. Don't even need their names - just the emails, so when I type in "United," for example, I get all the folks in that Group which is named "United."
Thanks.There was a "magical" set of Applescripts that would have done that, but it no longer works.
There is no way in the OS to do that besides making the Applescript yourself using the current Script Editor.
Another way to do what you want is to select all of the addresses (select one, then cmd-A). Then, drag the selection to somewhere in the Finder. That will create a text clipping. You can then drag that text clipping into the address field in Mail.
The text clipping will be named with the first few email addresses. You can rename it in the Finder.
Each one can be your own "distribution" list. -
How to create a table from an existing table with new column
Hi !
Please help me.
I want to create a table from an existing table with data and add two new column to the new table.
What will be the syntax?craete table new_table as select a.*, 'somevalue' new_col1, 'somevalue'
new_col2 from old_table a;Also there is a pitfall - newly created table will accept column type and precision from the select statement, so further you can be needed to modify columns
if you want to have VARCHAR2 instead of CHAR for example:
SQL> create table new_dept as select dept.*, 'New data' new_col from dept;
Table created.
SQL> desc new_dept
Name Null? Type
DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
DNAME VARCHAR2(14)
LOC VARCHAR2(13)
NEW_COL CHAR(8)
SQL> alter table new_dept modify (new_col varchar2(8));
Table altered.
SQL> desc new_dept
Name Null? Type
DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
DNAME VARCHAR2(14)
LOC VARCHAR2(13)
NEW_COL VARCHAR2(8)Rgds.
Didn't see michael's post - it reflects the fix for this problem using CAST.

How to create a new track with existing changes in the production
Hi
I need to create a new track for the ESS package with the existing changes that we already made to the ESS package. We already have a development track and the customisation to the ESS package has been already done in that track. Now my requirement is to create a new track ( DEV, CONS, TEST and PROD) with DEV having all the existing changes we made. In short how do I import the SCA's from development track PROD to the new track DEV. We are on NW2004 SPS20.
points rewarded for helpful answers
Thanks
SherilParam
Have you done the import in DEV and CONS and then Assembled .. ?
If yes then go to /usr/sap/jtrans/CMS/archives/.......... -> check for the track name and then the last .SCA file in it . Copy that SCA file in the /usr/sap/jtrans/CMS/inbox and go to the new track and configure the checkin to inbox ... You should see the SCA in there ... check those in and you are ready to have those SCA in your Production track ..
If no then you need to know the NWDS functions .. I shall send you the details to bring the incomplete changes (not assembled) to new track .. let me know if the first one worked ..
Thanks

Help needed for creating 1 invoice for 2 different material types.
Dear, Gurus
I really need help here I have spent 3 days cracking my head trying to solve the problem. Problem is client was creating invoice with reference to order and while invoice was being made it would cause an invoice split. The materials involved are Trading Good and Service Material. They would like only 1 invoice. Note nothing was different except material group and item cat. of the material. payment terms billing dates partners everything is same.
Current item config for Trading Good material is ZMPI-project item cat.
Copying requirements 023 Item ord.ref. w/o AZ Billing quantity A
Data VBRK/VBRP 000 Pos./neg. quantity +
Pricing type K
PricingExchRate type
Price source
Current item config for service Material is TAD-Service
Copying requirements 002 Item/order-related Billing quantity A
Data VBRK/VBRP 001 Inv.split (sample) Pos./neg. quantity +
Pricing type G
PricingExchRate type
Price source
I was told to change Data VBRK/VBRP to 003 One Invoice which I did in both of these item cat. and yes they worked perfectly but at time of creating the invoice for service material the qty that showed was 11. Note: In sales order it is 1 qty. So I went back into the config of item cat TAD and changed copying requirement to 023 instead of 002 but nothing changed. Seems a qty of 10 is referencing something else which I have no idea what or where it is picking this up from. Just to see or test things I went into the sales order and tried changing the service material qty then a weird popup appears and says service order 12344456 has been blocked. (Seriously I have no idea why this would happen or should be existing at all.) Even if for some reason it is being referenced the service order that is existing is qty 1.
I really really do need help and if someone can help me that would be god sent.
Regards, AliYou did not mention what value is maintained in the field billing quantity in the copy control->Item settings. Check for the service item, what value is assigned. Put value A and re-test.
Note that whenever you change any settings in configuration side, you need to create a new documents to test the results of the settings. You should not use the existing documents.
When you say the document is blocked, then check the status of the sales order to find the reason for blocking (like credit block, approval etc)..

Need to create Customer to multiple sites record in one run.
Hi all,
we have one table called (e.g.) Prospect. To this table we can associate three different sites: one the legal
site, one admin and one for logistic. All the three sites refer to the main Prospect table via the Prospect_id
and related info are all saved into the same Site_all table (the site type is not stored directly into the site_all
table but via a use_site_all table, similarly to what happens with some standard OApps tables).
We need to create the Prospect and associated three sites via an OA Framework page (actually multiple steps).
So to visually resume:
_ Site1 ---- use:legal
Prospect - Site2 -- use:admin
- Site3 --- use:logistic
What's the best approach to achieve the creation of the records in the tables ?
a) to add three EO for the Site table (with related AO) and one big ProspectAllVO view object containing all the fields
from the three EO ?
b) to add just one EO for the site and reference it three times while defiing the ProspectAllVO ?
c) to specify a View Link (but this should be done three times and I'm not sure how to synchronize and manage
the transaction for the creation ?
d) AOB ?
Thanks in advance. Regards.
Giuseppe Naldiis it really just one IDOC?
I have never seen that SAP just does a part of one IDOC.
the structure of DEBMAS ist like this:
E1KNA1M
--E1KNVVM
E1KNVPM
E1KNVDM
E1KNVIM
--E1KNB1M
which means for your example it should be like this
E1KNA1M
--E1KNVVM
E1KNVPM
E1KNVDM
E1KNVIM
--E1KNVVM
E1KNVPM
E1KNVDM
E1KNVIM
--E1KNB1M
and in this case I am very certain that it would never just process and create the part for one sales area.
Maybe your customer already exists from ealier tests with just one sales area.
Display your IDOC in WE02 or WE05 and make sure you have a value in name1 field -
Creating multiple tables based on existing tables
Hi,
I have to create 60 tables based on existing 60 tables. Instead of creating one by one how can I create all 60 at once.
The current 60 tables are named FY11_ACC1, FY11_ACC2, FY11_SALES1, FY11_SALES2 ...... , but all 60 tables start with FY11. I need to create the same structured tables but with FY12 names like FY12_ACC1, FY12_ACC2, FY12_SALES1, FY12_SALES2 .....
Currently I am using "create table FY12_ACC1 as select * from FY11_ACC1 where 1=0". Is there a way I can write all of them in one query?
Thanks for your time and help.ssk1974 wrote:

Thanks for your time and help.Well, i'm assuming FY = Fiscal Year and 11 = 2011 and then ACC1 = Account #1.
From the sounds of things, your design isn't likely "correct'.
If you'd care to delve in to the requirements a little bit ... what you have and what you need (business speak wise) there are no shortage of experts here that i'm sure would be happy to help you.
If you're stuck with what you've got (or don't care to change your 'design') and all you care about is achieving that please disregard this message. -
Pointers needed to create a JSP for week/hour calendar type component
Hi,
I am looking to get some pointers on how to create week/hour calendar type component in JSP.
My application is JSP/struts2 based web application. I need to create a web page where users will see a week hour calendar and for any time slot will enter some information. Each time slot can have different information. For example: Sunday 9:30am to 10:00am - Click on this cell and pop up a dialog for info and save it without refreshing the page. At the end combine all this info for each slot and submit to the server.
If there is already a component like this is available to use, please point me to that.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Developer in need.I dont know of an already existing application that can do this. However, here are some ideas on creating your own:
Create an html table in JSP who's number of rows and columns match what you would find in an ordinary wall calendar for the given month and year. Use the Calander.java class to obtain the number of days in the current month and build the JSP page accordingly (Calendar.java should automatically take care of leap year). You will probably need to add 'next' and 'previous' buttons to the form to retrieve the previous and next month(s) in case the user wants to access previous or future months. Each cell in the table displays that day (example ' 28 '). Notice my convention the first column is usually 'Sunday'.
Next, determine what to put in each cell. One suggestion is to embed a table in each cell with 48 rows (24 hours in a day, 1/2 hour resolution= =48), and two columns (first column is for time: example: "10:30am to 11:00am", the second column is for the user's appointment message).
Above that embedded table is the day (example: '28'). If a user has no information in the embedded table, the outer cell will appear to have nothing but the '28' in it.
Next, how to populate the cell. When the user clicks on the cell, have an onclick event call a javascript function. The function will pop up a new window (a child window) by calling 'window.open( )' (google 'window.open'). In the pop up, show a table with 48 rows, 2 columns that the user can type in a message within column 2. When the user clicks 'submit' button on the pop up, call a javascript onclick function that reads all the message cells. Any cell not empty will populate the corresponding cell (day, rowID, columnID) back on the parent window by calling something like this: window.opener.document.myFormName.myTextField.value = someValue
(google 'window.opener'). Once this is done, close the child window from that javascript function. By calling 'window.opener', you dont have to refresh the parent window.
Next, if the user clicks on the parent window cell that is already populated, you will have to pass all theexisting information for that day through the window.open( ) to the child window so the pop up child window will show that preexisting information (that way he can add to the cell or alter it as he pleases).
Next, after he alters many days on the calender, you have to provide an 'update' button on the parent form so the user saves his changes (write the data to a database record, with his name attached to that record). Note: if he clicks the previous/next button, he will lose any changes unless you also save the information before going to the previous/next page.
Next, you might want to provide a vertical scroll bar on the table cell if
the end user has many messages that cant be viewed in the parent cell all at once. Note each cell should be a fixed number of pixels width/height so it shows correctly. Have Fun! -
No. of Connections needed for creating universes from SAP BEx Queries
Hello,
I have 8 SAP BEx queries, my task to create to universe for all of these queries. I have created a datasource connection, my question here is can I use the same connection for all the queries by changing datasource connection and selecting the new query or is it suggestable to create 8 datasource connections in universe designer??
please let me know if you need any more info.
Your reply is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
NareshHI,
You need to create 8 connection for 8 BW queries.There is one to one mapping in the universe.If you change the existing connection source then it will not work for earlier query.
Other thing you can check like you have 8 queries then instead of creating 8 universe if possible then merge some queries in the single bw query and then create universe.
Thanks,

Permissions needed to create a WLST session and deploy OSB
Hi,
Can anyone tell me what Weblogic permissions are needed to create a session with the OSB Configuration SessionManagementMBean?
It appears you need to have administrators privilege because in my environment I only have Deployers privileges which si enough for me to do an OSB deployment from the OSB Console (and apply a Customisation file etc)
but when I do it via WLST I get the exception below when I try to create a session:
weblogic.management.NoAccessRuntimeException: Access not allowed for subject: principals=[30maro, IntegrationAdministrators, Monitors, Deployers], on ResourceType: com.bea.wli.sb.management.configuration.SessionManagementMBean Action: execute, Target: createSession
The Javadoc for the SessionManagementMBean and Oracle examples and indeed docuemtnation appears to be silent on this matter.
This is a pain because it suggests I need to have full Administrator privileges to perfor a deployment via a script but only Deployers privilege if I do it manually.
If anyone can shed light on this (or how to grant someone with Deployers privilege to create a session via the MBean) that would be much appreciated.I ended up answering this myself. It turns out this is a bug (that exists in OSB at least to Version 11.1.1.5) for which Oracle can provide a version specific patch that allows someone in the Deployers group to deploy via WLST.
