Tom,
We are a print distributor (www.prograde.com) We use SAPB1 and it is integrated with Four51. As partners with Four51 they have worked on building out several features to aid the print distribution channel. They may be an Add-on partner to explore. I hope this might help is some way - contact me if needed.

Missing shared feature Reporting Services Sharepoint and Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint products

Hi, when I try to install SQL Server 2012 SP1 (ISO from Microsoft Download website) on a Windows Server 2012 and try to select the shared feature options:
- Reporting Services Sharepoint
- Reporting Services Add-in for Sharepoint products
They are both missing from the list.
How do I solve this? Help!

Hello,
Did you download the SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services edition from the Microsoft website? If so, this edition did not support SharePoint Integration mode.
Just as Alberto post above, Business intelligence features are not all available in all editions of SQL Server 2012. You can refer to the following link about support features in Editions of SQL Server 2012:

Develop a report to track discount for various product

hi
i need to develop a report to track discount for various product depending upon the client

Hello Noor,
I'm not sure but if you are talking about the marketing attributes, you can definitely use FM - CRM_MKTBP_ASSIGN_ATTRIBUT_TAB
You need to pass the profile id, partner id and marketing attributes data. Thats it.
I think the FM you ar eusing for terrritory is fine. It should work.
I hope this helps.
Thanks

CS4 'Licensing for this product has expired'

This problem relates to a new install. Taken just about the entire weekend to get this problem sorted and still no closer. I have the trial DVD and trying to get to grips with it for evaluation. It's loaded fine on my desktop, but my laptop...totally different story.
I get a message 'Licensing for this product has expired' and I can't run that program. However its only in some programs in CS4 not in all, as other run fine but after doing a reinstall to fix it, the problem just seems to moves to another program; so first time I got it on Illustrator and Dreamweaver and now after reinstall it changes so now its on Flash and Contribute, but all other programs work perfectly well (this has happened 5 or 6 times, Ive reinstalled that often!).
1. I run Vista Home Premium on a new powerful laptop that exceeds all requirements with plenty of spare disk space. Its so new (prob 6 weeks old)that there were just a few new programs on (Office '07 and couple other programs, no Adobe programs except Reader 8.0)
2. The laptop was partitioned by me c=vista d=docs p=program files, and its here on P that I've loaded CS4. I have this same set up on my work desktop which is identical in processor (intel core)and memory/RAM to the laptop and runs CS4 perfectly and was installed from the same DVD (trial version bought from Adobe for evaluation). Problem is need it on the laptop to complete the evaluation, being away from the office
3. I've never moved the installation, its just stayed on P
4. I've not restored
5. I've validated no hardware issues via diagnotics and bad sector checks with professional tools, all other programs work prefectly
6. I check Flexnet is working and started (set to manual)
7. Yes I have permission all run as adminstrator etc..,
8. I've tried running the CS4 programs from Program files/application - makes no difference
9. I've uninstalled (using control panel/uninstall and then the remove tool found on support at http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html) and reinstalled as well as uninstalled and reinstalled via desktop following support tutorial (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403963) makes no difference other than moving the error to another program
10. Yes I made sure no other program could interfere during install closing all anti-virus and programs in start-up which might effect this
11. I did try using the adobe support advisor tool - gave no answers or log, and our software supplier said even Adobe reckon its a rubbish tool..
12. Finally I did run the Licensing Repair Tool - no effect (run several times, after reboot)
13. As the disk had just run on my desktop I have to presume the DVD is fine, but cleaned it anyway and it looks fine
I'm out of ideas...

I'm experiencing the same problem.
I'm running Windows XP, sp3
uninstalled CS3 so that I could install CS4
install appeared successful, but launching any product produces error message "Licensing for this product has expired"
I called installation support and found they inspire zero confidence. Two techs gave me two different answers, when I asked where the steps were documented the answer was they aren't and no we can't send them to you via email. The supervisor said, "we just try something, if that doesn't work call back and we'll try something else." She, at least, pointed me to a couple of TechNotes.
Here's what I have tried so far:
I've run the Licensing Service Update
I've followed the steps for Solutions 1, 2, 4, 5 in TechNote KB405970
Neither worked, so I have uninstalled CS4 and am about to try more drastic measures.
Does anyone know if the CS4 Clean Script will solve this problem? KB406241
The suggested last resort is to uninstall ALL Adobe applications (I use several in addition to CS4: FM, LR, Elements) and to follow the steps in KB401401. This involves running the CS3 Clean Script. Installation support said to run it twice at level 2 and twice at level 4 (nuclear).
I foresee that this will take hours. So any suggestions that will save time and solve the problem are very welcome.
Thanks,
Patti
UPDATE: 6/8/09
Hours of wasted time. But finally working. The problem seems to have been a serial number that had, indeed, expired. As an Adobe Partner I have a couple of different serial numbers and the one I tried locked me out. As this was the first time I had installed CS4 on this system it didn't occur to me that it was a date issue. It seems that smartcat's post of 1/22/09 would have been good to try.
But no, I was working with installation support and so uninstalled everything, ran CS3 Clean Script and reinstalled. A further problem was caused by being told to install a trial version as English (International). If you have a US serial number you must choose English (US) or it will not recognize the serail number as valid.
Lesson learned: I need to keep better track of my serial numbers. Feature request: Adobe, please don't lock us out when serial numbers have expired. Provide an option to deactivate and enter a valid serial number.
Sigh,
Patti

Is there any customer support for this product?

I have a client who has sent me two documents. When I log on using my Adobe ID it says
the Document could not be found because of one of the following reasons:
* Document was rejected by one of signatories
* Document was cancelled by initiator
* Document was deleted by initiator
* Document has expired
My Adobe ID is not the same as the email I use everyday and I don't see a place to add additional emails. Now I have three Adobe IDs
How do I contact Customer service or tech support for this product?

Yes, this is exactly what I'm wondering too. Without it, we can't build any apps that download content without the risk of the content being deleted.
Here's the background before Apple introduced the new "do not back up" attribute:
http://www.marco.org/2011/10/13/ios5-caches-cleaning
Fortunately, Apple addressed it after that blog post in 5.0.1. See bullet #4 here, quoted below
https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/data-storage/
Q: My app has a number of files that need to be stored on the device permanently for my app to function properly offline. However, those files do not contain user data and don't need to be backed up. How should I store those files in iOS 5?
A: Starting in iOS 5.0.1 a new "do not back up" file attribute has been introduced allowing developers to clearly specify which files should be backed up, which files are local caches only and subject to purge, and which files should not be backed up but should also not be purged. In addition, setting this attribute on a folder will prevent the folder and all of its contents from being backed up.
Important: The new "do not back up" attribute will only be used by iOS 5.0.1 or later. On iOS 5.0 and earlier, applications will need to store their data in <Application_Home>/Library/Caches to avoid having it backed up. Since this attribute is ignored on older systems, you will need to insure your app complies with the iOS Data Storage Guidelines on all versions of iOS that your application supports.
Now we just need Adobe to support the attribute in the AIR SDK. What do you say Adobe?

Licensing for this product has stopped working - Acrobat 9 Pro Trial Edition

Before committing to purchase of 50 licenses for the office, I though I'd better make sure Acrobat 9 Pro works on my laptop. Nyet
I am totally frustrated by spending 20 minutes installing the package, only to get a "licensing for this product has stopped working" "You cannon use this product at this time"
I've reinstalled - twice
I've followed instructions relative to Flexnet service.
Anyone have a do this and Acrobat 9 will work list of instructions - preferably something that will work in a batch file since I don't want to spend two weeks getting the units on our network to work with Acrobat 9.
TIA

OK - or i should say not OK!!
I am running the licensed version of Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac OSX. It is installed on 2 of my MacBook Pro 17" laptops. These machines are respectively 1 month and 14 months old, and both are completely up-to-date software wise. 3 weeks ago Acrobat presented the error message "Licensing for this product has stopped working" and then quits. Searching through the error logs reveals the following: No matching processes were found. Shutting down licensing service ...
I have meticulously, several times worked through all the recommended steps on the Adobe site to address this issue but to no avail. Booting up in safe mode makes no difference. In desperation I re-installed the OS, but to no avail. My several and extended communications with Adobe online help have left me chatting with what sounded like a couple of uni students from India who had insufficient understanding of English, Macs and Acrobat. After 3 weeks my case has been closed twice by Adobe who report that they believe my issue is resolved and have therefore closed my case. Great!!! What's more, occasionally Safari is presented online with a pdf file which it attempts to load, and then crashes.
This issue has seriously affected my ability to work with and create pdf's which in my work as a medical researcher is essential. To add insult to injury, I have wasted too many precious hours attempting to rectify the situation.
The bottom line is caveat emptor (buyer beware). Adobe it seems are committed to making a sale but not to follow-up, service or genuine concern for their customers. When some company produces a less buggy (and cheaper) alternative I will be definitely be buying their wares.
In the interim, if anybody out there can advise me as to how to get Acrobat working again, I would be most grateful.
Have a great day.

Upgrading PowerMac G4 to the MAX for video production?????

I need to know if I can just upgrade my Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) to the max for video production? I'll be using 4 main programs.
1. Final Cut Studio 2
2. After Affects
3. Protools
4. Photoshop CS 3
Final Cut recommends this for all applications:
* 2GB of RAM when working with compressed HD and uncompressed SD sources
* 4GB of RAM when working with uncompressed HD sources
Here are my computer stats:
Machine Model: PowerMac3,1
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 450 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 3.2.2f1
Can anyone please help? This is my first mac.

Hey DJ,
I'm thinking that, for those specific needs, dollars are better thrown at a newer model than upgrades for your existing one. Here's why:
1) You do not have native support for large hard drives, something that's nice for video work. You'd have to spend money on a PCI adaptor card to add that support. Figure US$40-100.
2) Your video card is likely not up to the task unless it's already been upgraded. Another $70-250 depending on how good a scrounger you are.
3) You need a minimum 1.25Ghz G4 processor and, if you get the upgrade, who's to say if the next version of FC will still support a G4? 1.2G processor upgrades start at over $200 and faster ones are up to $700 (OWC pricing for new gear).
4) You can't stick more than 2G RAM in your computer.
And, after all the upgrades, you still have the basic bus speed limitation inherent in all G4s.
Bottom line is that you can quickly invest enough to buy a faster used Mac. Examples of used G5 prices (usually at the top of the price scale) are here. Even an entry level G5 should be much faster than a fully upgraded G4.
Don't get me wrong--I'm an upgrader and love to do it regardless of cost. In this case, I see the potential for ending up with an upgraded computer that struggles at its intended task and could be obsoleted by the next upgrade of the software.

Trading Partner Configuration in Production System

Dear All,
We are planning to implement trading partner in the production system.
The scenarios were tested in qulaity but i haven faced any errors,
I would like to know the risk of implementing Trading Partner in a live system.
Thanks and regards
Praveen Jagadeesan

Hi,
have you know what is the concept of Trding partner, how it will deriv in sap.
"In Business Terms Trading partner is your business partner within Group with whom you are doing business.In order to identify Inter Company transactions Trading partner field is used. You need to define all the Group Companies as company in SAP and all the defined Companies will be available for selection in Trading partner field. Trading partner can be defaulted in GL, Customer or Vendor Master. If you need you can populate trading partner at Document level too by doing settings in Document Type Master in T Code OBA7.
Trading partner is normally used to control (payment/transaction) vendor/customer business with the group. Something like group/inter group business. You have to go to master record. for eg, in customer master, go to CONTROL DATA tab so see Acccount Control, in which you have provide trading partner number/reference"

Upendra.

'Sensible' Definition & Security settings for a Production APEX environment

Hi Folks.
What's the feeling on Definition and Security settings for a production APEX application?
Here are my settings for my UAT environment (not quite in production just yet)
Debugging: NO
Status: AVAILABLE
Build Status: RUN APPLICATION ONLY
Authorization Scheme : MUST NOT BE PUBLIC USER
Session State Protection: ENABLED
In the APEX Administration setup, access to my site is restricted by IP also. As a consequence I think it's buttoned down quite tightly but, eventually, we plan to open this up to the Big Bad Web!!
What are your thoughts on the pro's and con's, the why's and wherefore's of one setting or another.
I'm hoping this thread will prove to be a good forum for discussing APEX application security configurations and a reference for others.
Please feel free to link to whitepapers of relevance.
Maybe someone could take up the challenge of producing an 'UNHACKABLE' :-) APEX website?
Simon.

Hi Simon,
If you're just talking about instance settings, then you might also add to that using the 3.1 runtime only instance.
If we're opening it up to application design, well...that's a whole other matter ;)

EWA for non-productive Systems

Hi all,
is there a possibility to get Early Watch Alerts for Systems in a Solution, which are not marked as productive.
I don't want to create many solutions.
The same problem i have with the monitoring, I only see the productive in the monitoring overview.

Tobias

Yes, it's possible to have all systems (Prod, Dev, QA, ...) within one solution and to have EWA activated.
You need to choose "Put in Solution" from the context menu. See screen shots attached.

Open source / Commercial version, it's up to you! Why not for ESB products

Please comment this forum and help us to get Sun's support for Open ESB as we can get it for open-Solaris or Glassfish.
Thanks
Paul
Extract from
http://www.pymma.com/eng/People/Blog-Paul-Perez-Chief-Architect
Jonathan Schwartz new policy
Few years ago, Jonathan Schwartz replaced Scott McNealy as SUN Microsystems CEO. Swartz's first decision was to convert Sun into an Open-Source company. Consequently, Solaris OS, Application Servers and even the Java language were opened and their sources published. At present, Sun is viewed as a major Open Source actor.
Sun�s new sales philosophy proposes, on one hand, its best products in an open-source format and on the other hand, commercial support and hardware. The best examples of this new philosophy are Open-Solaris and Glassfish. You can download these products, use them and test them. After you have built applications with these tools and wish to move into a production environment, you can buy support from Sun.
Open source or Commercial version, it's up to you!
Alternatively, you can as well buy commercial versions at the first place. Even if open sources and commercial versions are slightly different than the open-source ones, more than 95% of their code is originated from the same development branch. Example : SUN proposes its queue messaging system with two similar versions, respectively named �SUN QM� and "Open-MQ". The only difference is the amount you pay for the technical support.
Everyone can find advantages in this sales policy on Sun products: companies and developers try and develop for free and can rely on Sun support in production. As a matter of fact, Sun uses these �free� products as Trojan horses to conquer new market shares, penetrate new companies and sell Sun hardware.
Why not for ESB Products ?
Unfortunately, there is a small issue in this picture: Sun's ESB platform is the exception in this sales policy. In Fact, Sun proposes two different tools for ESB developments. The first product. "JCAPS", is a commercial product inherited from Seebeyond. The second product, "Open-ESB" is based on JBI specifications (JSR 208) and was developed from scratch about 2 years ago.
Alas, JCAPs and Open-ESB are definitely two different products.
JCAPS ignores JBI specifications
JCAPS connectors are based on JCA specifications and not on JBI.
Open-ESB development process is based on Web services specifications, JCAPS not.
JCAPS and Open-ESB developments are not compatible.
Hundreds other differences can be found between the two products.
We can understand that for a while, for technical, marketing or business reasons, a company supports more than one product lines with the same functionalities. IBM does it and Oracle buying BEA will do it also.
However, there are several things that Pymma would like to understand:
Why the download of JCAPS is only available for authorized JCAPS Partner ?
Why SUN does not provide support for open-ESB as it does for Glassfish, Open Solaris or Open MQ ?
Why JBI or Open-ESB are never mentioned at most ESB seminars organized by Sun Centres in the UK ?
Why Sun marketing, Gurus or consultants are prolix about JBI in the public lectures and technical forums, and at the same ignore Open-ESB when they advice companies ?
Is the policy of Jonathan Swartz policy only applicable for Java Legacy applications (Application Server, Message queuing�)? not for ESB tools ?
Of course, we already asked these questions to SUN but we never got clear answers.
Thanks for clarifying Sun's position
Many companies believe in JBI and their developers spend time and energy working on Open-ESB . These companies would certainly be interested to hear Sun's explanations on the above questions. They probably want to be sure that Open-ESB will not be just a prototype for the new JCAP version (only reserved for SUN JCAPS Partners). They certainly want to be credible by proposing SUN's professional support on Open-ESB as they do for Glassfish and Open-Solaris. After, they only need from SUN to clarify its position and give a clear prospective for the future of JBI and Open-ESB. We hope that through this blog Sun will hear us and we will give us clear answers.

Hi Leonie,
My iPhoto is iPhoto 11, version 9.4.2. I believe my Aperture is the latest version but I don't know how to verify that when I can't open it. I regularly accept any updates.
How I restored my Aperture Library: I opened Aperture, clicked on Time Machine, and navigated to the Aperture Library that had been backed-up earlier in the day. It took a while to restore.
When done, I opened Aperture (yes, at that point I could still open it). It opened up on the still-empty Library, and I had to manually change it to the restored library, every time I opened aperture after that. This was annoying, so, I then went to FINDER and deleted the empty Library. I probably shouldn't have done this; I noticed it had the words "current default" in its filename.
From that point on, FINDER shows the restored aperture library (actually two restored aperture libraries, since I accessed Time Machine a second time to restore an even older backed-up version) but of course, not the empty Library that had had "default" in its filename. And... I can no longer open Aperture.
Hope you can help me, thanks so much,
Glensdaughter

Completing the same form for additional products

We are collecting data from manufacturers as to the products being displayed on their exhibition stands. In order for the data to be collected for each product, so it is listed on a seperate line in an excel spreadsheet I have put together the questions for each product on one form. The manufacturer then needs to complete the form for each product displayed, which could be 30 - 40 items. Is there a way to ask them if they wish to enter another product and if they answer yes they are given the form again to complete but without having to add their company and email address again? In effect I want the company and email address to appear automatically on all forms completed after their initial entry or any additional forms after their first entry to link to the first one so we know who it has come from and the entries are linked when exporting to excel. I also have the same issue with another form where we are asking delegates to book to attend an event and the same person is booking for 4 or 5 different delegates from the same company. It would be easier if they did not have to re-enter their company details each time.
I hope this makes sense.
Regards,
Karen

Forms cannot be "connected", data cannot be filled in from another form. You can build a more complex product ordering form with "Show/Hide" logic that will show another set of form fields based on a response, but data is not populated from one field to another or one form to another.
Thanks,
Josh

Hardware Build for CS6 Production Premium

First: Thank you for all of the information in this forum. I've done a bunch of reading and there is lots of good information about a many issues.
Second: I am looking for advice on a build for CS6 Production Premium. I don't want top of the line, but a decent midgrade setup. I've done a bunch of reading and I think that I have a reasonable system, but would appreciate some advice. The last time I built a computer was the 1990s when we still had to set DMA and IRQ channels, so I'm a bit rusty.
Case: Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra Tower RC-1200-KKN1
Motherboard: Asus Z9PE-D8 WS Dual LGA 2011 Intel C602
Two - Intel Xeon E5-2630 V2 Ivy Bridge 2.6GHz six core processors.
Two - Intel STS200C CPU heat sinks.
240 Pin 1600 MHz DDR 3 RAM. 16 GB adequate or 32 GB for a good balance on this system? (Don't really want to goto 64GB, but will if necessary.) Is it better to fill all 8 slots on the mother board or better to have more GB per card and run with 4 empty slots on the mother board?
Crucial M4 256GB SSD SATA boot disk CT256M4SSD2.
Six: 2 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/S Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 hard drives in a RAID 3 configuration with five drives in service and one in standby. (The SSD plugged into the 6GB/s SATA plug and the six 2TB plugged into the C602 SATA 3GB/S plugs? Nothing plugged into the Marvell SATA plugs?
The mother board doesn't support RAID 3 and I have no RAID experience, so I'm guessing that I need a dedicated RAID controller for this? If so, is an Areca ARC-1224-8I a good fit, or is there a better choice?
Pioneer BDR-2208 blu-ray burner.
Rosewill 1300 watt 80 plus gold power supply.
Soundblaster ZxR PCIe sound card.
Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
Two - Dell UltraSharp U2413 24" LED LCD monitors.
Now the $3 question: Video card(s). Is a single GeForce GTX690 adequate to run the various applications in Production Premium? A GTX Titan? Quadro K4000? I don't really want to go to the Quadro K5000, but will if forced.
The only software on the computer will be Windows 7, Adobe CS6, and either McAfee or Norton, along with whatever drivers are needed for the systems. I'll stay away from quicktime as it seems to gum up the works according to some advisers on this forum.
Is there anything that I am missing, hardware wise or installation pointers?
Thank you for any assistance!

I am considering a similar build for heavy Photoshop and Lightroom use. Currently on and older i7-1358 pin 3.0Ghz XEON cpu, I'm considering either a new i7-4930 or dual Xeons as you are. The reason for the Xeons is ability to use ECC memory and add more cores. This is a production system in daily use so I'd probably not be overclocking.
Interested in your and others views on this. Previous to my current system, I'v always had dual socket Pentiums, Athalons or Opterons, someof which are still in service but in a reduced roll.
I typically use fast drives, some SAS, 15K & 10K (SSDs now where it makes sense) and RAID where necessary, especially for SWAP drives in Photoshop along with lots of memory..
Thanks for any input here. Basically ECC vs non ECC (I know there is a speed hit with ECC, but really - how much?). Overclock (i7-4930) or non overclocking (Xeons)
I should also mention, Culch, that I am considering the same CPUs and MB as you.
Thanks for reading.

Pallet sheet for finished products printed in the not expected printer

Hello to all,
I have an issue right now with a user printing pallet sheet for finished products in Z602 printer. The user wanted it to be printed in printer Z630. I have checked transaction SU01 and found that the output device assigned to the user is Z630.
What would be the cause of the documents coming out in Z602?
Just to add, the user print the document via transaction CO02, if the person needs more palette sheet then he prints by transaction LT01, and LT16 is just to cancel.
Many thanks.

Patvin

Critique my W530 Build for Post-Production Work

Hi everyone!
Please critique the following W530 build for post-production use. Primary applications in use are After Effects, Photoshop, Maya, Boujou, PFTrack, Mocha Pro. Was highly considering the Macbook Pro 15" Retina and the HP Ultrabook. But seems the Thinkpad has the best performance/price ratio in a decently portable form factor. Switching from the Mac side so guidance would be much appreciated!
Purchasing from Lenovo online store:
CPU - Intel Core i7-3820QM Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.70 GHz)
GPU - NVIDIA Quadro K2000M Graphics with 2GB DDR3 Memory
RAM - 8 GB DDR3 - 1600MHz (2 DIMM)
HDD - 500GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
Optical Drive - DVD Recordable
Total - $1,663.78
Buying separately:
512GB Samsung 830 Series SSD (Will replace with 500GB 7200rpm Drive)
Add 180GB SSD or 1TB 7200 RPM HD in Optical drive
Add 16 to 32 GB of RAM
My questions:
Will it be possible for me to do as I've said above (install a Samsung 830 series 512 GB as my Primary disk in place of the 500GB my laptop will ship with?
Can I put another SSD or a full TB with atleast 7200RPM in place of the DVD Recordable optical drive?
I want to upgrade the RAM to 16 or maybe even 32GB for excellent AE/Premiere performance. What clock freq RAM do you suggest/does it matter? If I want 32GB in total, how much should I get from Lenovo and which RAM do you suggest I add.
Any other suggestions on improving this build? Other brands you would recommend looking into?

My build and final specs I've gone with for a similair configuration (heavy VM use, some video editing, some 3D CAD/CAM work in SketchUp and older games like TF2).
As Shipped:
CPU - Intel Core i7-3720QM ($200 for less than 5% performance improvement from the 3820 isn't worth it)
GPU - K2000M (Twice the CUDA, worth it, newer video editors take full advantage)
RAM - 4GB RAM shipped
HDD - 320GB 5400RPM Hard Drive (See notes below for the trick)
Bay - Blank Travel Bezel
Upgrades:
RAM - 32GB DDR3 1600Mhz PC12800 from G.Skill
HDD - 240GB Mushkin Atlas mSATA SSD main boot drive, ~200MB/second random read/write worst-case
HDD - Software RAID-0 Dual 1TB Western Digital AV-25 hard drives, ~200MB/second sequential read/write
They've closed this loophole when I just checked, but you WERE previously able to order a W530 w/ a minimal 5400RPM low-power 320GB hard drive and NO CD/DVD drive (which but $180 off the price) by adding, then removing, the hardware RAID option.
The dual 1TB drives can push 200MB/second easily for sequential throughput when rendering or playing through video, and the SSD can keep up for random read/write as a scratch drive. I will recommend ONLY allocating 200GB of the SSD so there's extra redundancy, that's what I did at least.
But honestly, the 3820 isn't worth the $200 premium for 3.7Ghz versus 3.6Ghz CPU speed, spend that on the graphics card and/or buying the RAM and/or an SSD later.
