Project organization suggestions needed.

Plan is to make a 45 minute highlight video for highschool lacrosse team. Used iMovie last year but looking to get better final quality. Here is how we have done it in the past with iMovie. (and Pinnacle before that) I shoot and cut most of the game footage. Usually 2 cameras at each game. I take roughly 2 hours of footage and try and cut it to 4-8 minutes for each game. After 5-6 games I share a "Highlights 1". End of season I have 3 or 4 "Highlights" files that I transfer to a buddy who makes 3 or 4 projects that are 3-4 minutes long laid down to music. He also adds in footage from games that he filmed and cut himself. I make a couple of fun, off field sections and a tribute to seniors. We then lay all 7-8 projects together and make our movie. Biggest issue we had with iMovie was the lose of quality each time we cut and then shared the footage. Examples of what we have done in the past are posted on youtube under CanandaiguaAcadLax We did not do any of the Season in the Balance segments. Those guys were pros!! A good example is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90FU2rHnPr0
Any project management help would be greatly appreciated. How do we best organize? Settings for sharing etc. We are not video/computer guys We do this because our kids play and it makes a great life time memory for the boys.
Thanks for any suggestions.

To begin, if you use Pro Res as your export codec, you and he can swap and edit clips several times without discernable loss of quality. You can export your highlight films. He can import them and edit them and export versions that both of you can collaborate on.
As to your organization question, there is no perfect answer. I guess I would create a single library to hold all your work. I would a make single highlight event for all the games that will go into a multicam video. So if you had 5 highlight videos, you would have 5 events – each referencing the media from several games. Each would have a single multicam project.
Wether you bring copies of the media into your events is a judgement call – depending, for example, on how much space you have on your media drives.
Good luck. Hope that gives you some ideas.

Project organization help needed

I work for a rather large health care company and we are just beginning our move from eGate to JCAPS. We have approximately 100 separate interfaces, each with an average of five eWays.
Our initial idea was to organize our JCAPS projects as follows:
Outer Project (equivalent to eGate schema)
Inner Project (equivalent to eGate eWay)
- collaboration
- connectivity map
- deployment profile
- any external files, schedulers, etc needed by the collaboration
Inner Project for OTD's
Inner Project for Queues and Topics
Inner Project for shared collaborations that are used by multiple projects (such as resending, journalling, etc)
My concern is if we make a change to a single project, when we go to export that project to our production system, we may be forced to export a lot more than we need.
I would like to know how others have organized their systems interfaces, and any issues they may have come up with.
Thank You
Steve

I would be wary of creating projects within projects.
The concept of project in JCAPS is nebulous.
Even though JCAPS allows you to nest projects within projects the nested projects are treated more like folders.
Like most other IDEs, projects are the ones created at root level.
Unlike most other IDEs JCAPS does not have the concept of project view and file view.
If you create an "Outer Project" and then inside it a bunch of "inner project" , JCAPS would treat the "Outer Project" as a project and all the inner projects as artifacts of this "Outer Project".
If any other project were to refer to any one of these "inner projects", then JCAPS will assume that this other project is dependent on the "outer project".
If you try to export this other project, it will export the whole "outer project" as a dependent project.
So, if possible, I would try to create all projects at root level especially if they are going to be referenced by other projects.
Use a flat structure rather than a hierarchical one. Use naming conventions to segregate and organize.
Instead of
ProjectA
ProjectA1
ProjectA2create
ProjectA_ProjectA1
ProjectA_ProjectA2
If this looks too cluttered you might want to consider branching to separate major projects
Also I would be careful of creating dependencies between projects.
Lets say you have a JCD which refers to an OTD in another shared project.
If somebody updates the OTD and creates a new version of the OTD, your JCD would automatically start referring to the new version.
Without your knowing a build will pick up the new OTD.
Of course if you know that a new version was created ,you can specify an older version of the OTD during a build.
Not so if you are editing the JCD. Here you will be stuck with the latest version.
This may or may not be what you want.
A better alternative would be to copy over the OTD to your project and use the local version.
Hope this helps.

Setting up a new Free Software Project, organizational help needed.

Hi
I need some help with a project I am working on.
I have been working on this project for some time now. I have written a program using JDK 6 and Eclipse.
The actual software is not the problem here. The actual problem, as I am starting to find out, is how to distribute this program.
I think I have organized the actual files incorrectly. Since I have been working on this program for some time now, its gotten a lot bigger then
I originally thought it would be. Also I have been using SVN and sourceforge, so I have been reluctent to make drastic changes to the layout of the
source code.
But I am starting to see that I need to adapt the source code to some standard if I am to either get other to help me or to release the program.
And here is where your help comes in.
I need to know how to organize my files.
I have organized the *.java files in a somewhat orderly fashion, but from what I understand most source code is organized into "src", "lib", ect folders.
This is what I need the help with.
My program uses some external jar files that contain some methods, functions and class I use.
I also have some images and icons used in the program.
There are also files that are created, written to and read from the program, which I need to keep.
What is the best way to organize these files and is there some sort of "standard of free software" out there?
I would appreciate any help on the matter.

Just a shot in the dark here...
Are you JARring your project when you make it into a binary? You can JAR it the same way with your source, as well. As for the folders that you are talking about, I'm not an Eclipse user, but doesn't the IDE organize your files into packages and such while you are working on a project?
My perspective comes from NetBeans. When I create a project, the IDE automatically creates an Ant file and also organizes the project into packages. For example, if I start a project called StripNewLines, my Main class will be located in a package called stripnewlines, which I can refactor later to something like net.mycompany.stripnewlines, for example. Then, when I need to include resources such as files or icons, I go into my file manager and simply create new folders under my project's source tree. For example, my project file tree may look something like:
+ StripNewLines/
+ dist/
+ lib/
+ StripNewLines.jar
+ README.TXT
+ src/
+net/
+ mycompany/
+ stripnewlines
+ Main.java
Once I get done adding my files and icons, it might look like this:
+ StripNewLines/
+ dist/
+ lib/
+ StripNewLines.jar
+ README.TXT
+ src/
+net/
+ mycompany/
+ stripnewlines/
+ Main.java
+ files/
+ LICENSE
+ README
+ art/
+ file-open.png
+ exit.png
+ new.png
Once I've added those files and icons to my file heirarchy in my file manager, NetBeans will automatically update the project and add the packages net.mycompany.files and net.mycompany.art. Then I just have to access them by their paths to use them in my application.
Once you've gotten your application completed and compile it to a jar file, you can drop to a shell and use the `jar` command to "pack up" your source tree. By doing it this way, you have a single file for download as a binary and another single file for download as a source archive. Obviously, if you are using libraries, you will need to zip up or tarchive your lib/ folder and JAR file for the distributions, so that your external libraries will also be available to your application on another machine.
Anyhow, just some thoughts. I do hope this helps you a little and doesn't confuse you more.
Cheers,

Project Organization Hierarchy

Hi,
Please some one explain the Business purpose of defining Project Organization Hierarchy. Why we need to define Project & expenditure Organization Hierarchy
As per the user guide "An organization hierarchy illustrates the relationships between your organizations.When you define a hierarchy, you tell Oracle Projects which organizations are subordinate to which other organizations"
What is use of informing "Oracle Projects which organizations are subordinate to which other organizations".
If it is for reporting how it is help in the reporting? is the report rollup information in the top organizaiton?
Thanks
Govind

Hi
The organizations hierarchy is used in two places.
A) When defining burden schedule for costing or billing, you can enter burden rate (multiplier) on any level of parent organization in the hierarchy. Then run Compile. The system allocates the multiplier value to all organizations which are subordinates of the organization which hold the multiplier.
B) You can select any parent organization in the hierarchy and add to it the classification - Projects Invoice Collection Organization. The run the process to create Transaction Types in AR for that parent org. When generating invoices for a project and transferring them to AR, the system go up the hierarchy from the project owning organization till the first parent with that classification. The associate the appropriate transaction type to the invoice when imported to AR. This functionality depend on implementation options - non centralized invoicing.
I think that standard Reporting within Oracle Projects does not roll up along the organization hierarchy. However, it may be rolling up in Projects Inteligence or OBIA.

LV 8 project organization

This is a somewhat philosophical question about organizing a project in LV8. I understand pretty well how to organize the project for my main VI. What I'm wondering about are some VIs that will process the data produced by the main VI. Both the main VI and the data processing VIs will be turned into Windows executable files. Does it make sense to include the processing VIs in the same project as the main VI or are they better off in their own project? Are there any issues with maintaining the build specifications for the different files in the same project?
George

George,
Project organization is strictly up to you. As long as you have the VIs that you are going to be using for executables in the project, what you have included in them is just for organizational purposes. That being said I would include everything that deals with that function. As long as the build specifications have good names, having the data processing VIs in the project should make everything easier to read. I might suggest having the data production VIs under one folder and the data processing VIs under another folder. For me I would like to see how the data is being produced and analyzed. Feel free to report with any thoughts.

Suggestions needed please!

I just bought an ipad 3 and when I connected to my computer it said "Not Charging". Also, not able to sync with itunes. Suggestions needed please!

Most usb ports do not provide enough power to charge your ipad, plug into a wall outlet to charge. If you leave it plugged into the computer and the computer goes to sleep, it can actually drain the battery.

SUGGESTIONS NEEDED: Graphic Designer needing to organize my graphic library

Ive been wanting to find a better way of organizing my extensive library of the following (Vector & Raster art): Backgrounds, Raster/Vector Patterns, Logos, Icons, Vector Design Elements, Fonts (I use FontBook), print & web templates, Stock Photos, ALOT of vector art, anything from flourishes to multi colored complex images, Web Design stuff (icons, buttons, banners...etc.) and last but not least Adobe CS native color swatches, patterns, gradients, actions, and brushes. I am sure I left out some, but you get the idea.
I have been building my large collection over the period of 4-5 years and has grown to 40g of internal HD space to house these in loosely catergorized subfolder (i.e., Vector Art, Stock Photos, PS plugins (gradients, brushes, ETC) backgrounds/Textures, so on and so forth. I would love to store my Data externally but with the throughput speeds of USB, am not wanting to slow down Bridge anymore than it already is. But help with external storage and accessing files quickly would also help
As your probably thinking it is getting to be a pain to manage and even worse finding or searching for items, considering alot are generically names from packages Ive acquired (i.e. 132456.eps. flower00234.jpg, etc.) Bridge helps alot but I am trying to catergorize and keyword folders or images this as clean as possible hopefully thru manually doing it on a system recommended or using a 3rd party software to apply metadate like keywords that will be searchable is IDEAL!
I am starting to use Lightroom 3 to manage and catalog my StockPhotos (not to many), but love the functionality of the keyword and meta data features within LR.
So that is what I am trying to accompish:
1. organize all my art in to specific catergories
2. hopefully use metadata and keywords within the OS or a 3rd party program to make items easily searchable within the Finder or Adobe Bridge.
3. Properly manage and store art as it comes to me several times a day to keep everything current so I can do a backup of just my Design files, every month or so to keep stored off computer or on the cloud.
Any suggestions(software/procedures), links, or general help on this issue is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks Again for any help lended!!! Any anyone that is willing to help me thru this and is interested in Graphic Design tools or graphics, I can definitely share ANYTHING from my collection for helping
Drew

Dont mind one bit, if i can pass along any advice to help someone, Im happy to do so.
first off....My art catalog is mass collections of various file types, and media uses, so I started by keywording by some of these keywords; Vector, Web Graphics, Stock Photos, Patterns (Vector/Raster), Textures, Backgrounds, Shapes/Objects (vector/Raster), and after indifiying a sorting the various files, just in folders and sub-folders, under one main Artwork Directory, and that helped me organize them for transfering between my home office, to my work server. After that it was pretty much a breeze except for one issue I ran into (I will explain at the end). Since I run Bridge at Work and at home, the structure and navigation to search for files by catergory was alot easier, by mimicking the same setup on both Bridge for PC at work and Bridge for Mac at home. the last step I did to help refine things a little better, I keyworded two things within Bridge to make the search faster, and it was just these tags, Vector, Raster High Res, Raster Med-Low Res. I also use the ranking/star system to tag my most used, favorite. 1 star for frequently used, and 5 star for my favorite art packages. When I use the word "favorite", in my terms that is art that i see potential to use in future designs and good clean art that Ive never used, so I can incorporate new designs. That might not be the best way to do it in Bridge, but after bouncing around alot of approaches this eems to work just fine for my graphic/web design needs.
One more thing that I do as I acquire new art, is make a Folder with a custome icon to stand out, that is labeled Un-Catergorized art. And as I download art unless I use it right away, I drag and drop into that folder. I was advised to not do this and label and file appropriately as soon as I aquire stuff so I dont get behind, but to aleviate that, I have made automator actions that move all files that have been in the folder for more than 5 days to move into a diferent folder (Delete Me), and have put an automation on that folder to delete files that are 3 days or older (in that folder). It may sound like alot of work just to remind, but by adding another automator action in Mac OSX to email me when the first move is made, It trained my mind to process all new art every friday like clock work, and have since stop using the email action and the delete after 3 days action! With the size of my library....getting close to 60gig....and consisting of a wide array of different media, I found this to work for my workflow.
Give this a thought, because this may help you in some way, but everyones catalog is different.
The only current problem/issue that I am trying to resolve at the moment is catergorizing and tagging (somehow) all my Creative Suite Plugins for PS, and LR. Because it is getting pretty extensive, with patterns, actions, swatches, shapes, styles, etc...
The issue I ran into with processing VECTOR art in Bridge CS5, was the lack of support for previwing .EPS files, and took a good chunk of my vector art and converted to a native AI file to be able to view the preview in bridge, but there is work arounds I found.
Bridge has really been awesome for someone like me, and learn something new about this robust program everyday.
As far as PS & LR plugins, I could theroretically just add everything I get to their respective plugin system folder on my drive, but I move them around alot and found it easier to search my folder structure and COPY/PASTE plugins in the system folder as needed and clean out the system plugin folder every so often.
I just installed CS5.5 Master Collection last night, and even though Bridge isn't the same build as the changed DW 5.5, and indesign 5.5 (all the rest of the master collection for the most part NOTHING changed, even though its labeled as 5.1 instead of 5.0 or 5.5. So I will be doing some research on this to see if any new features were added in Bridge but doubt it
Hope this helps! and feel free to ask anymore questions
Later, Drew

Image Organization Overload - Need Some Direction

I recently made the decision to abandon ACR in favor of LR4. I am presently using the trial version of LR4 & am absolutely delighted so far. Coming from ACR, the transition to the Develop Module in LR4 has been quite smooth.
One of the enticing attributes of LR4 is its organizational flexibility. However, having spent many hours familiarizing myself with Catalogs, Folders, Collections & the myriad of options available to organize my images, I have become completely overwhelmed. I think that my problem is that I am so used to using Adobe Bridge/ACR that I am trying to adapt the image organizaton tools in LR4 to my old ways of thinking. I probably need to start thinking outside of the "Abode Bridge/ACR" box. With that said, I need to come up with an organizational structure that will work best for me.
Since I am sure this is a worn-out topic, I don't want this thread to go on forever. However, could I impose on some of you LR veterans to point me in the direction of some resources (e.g. stickies, past threads, blogs, tutorials, etc.) offering suggestions for organizing my images? I would truly appreciate it.
In the meantime, a wee dram of single-malt scotch might relax my spinning head.
Thank you kindly.

Using and learning Lightroom is an evolutionary process. Can I suggest some thoughts from a slightly different perspective. (ie Outputs)
You should become very very very familiar with the Export function. A lot of queries fill discussion boards on imports, folder structures, workflows, collections, etc. The Import and Develop help get you to a point where you have an image that you want to do something with. If you are only going to print your own images on your own printer connected to your Lightroom catelog and images then you will only need the print module.
Most people need images in multiple formats for web, local printing, printing via an external service, iphone, ipad, android devices, etc. Whatever our main outputs are right now, you can bet that the options will increase exponentially. This aspect has the potential to have a bigger impact on your folder / collection strategy than simply the concept of the initial import and develop.
In my view putting these into multiple collections 9smart or otherwise) becomes too complicated , too quickly.
Spend time with the Export module and build a core set of Export presets that satisfy the majority of your output needs . Then decide how you should structure your folders, collections, flags and tags.
A sample of presets I have include
Small Jpg for web / email (full screen, watermark, low res, medium to low quality)
Ipad
Iphone
Full tif ( for use in other programs… such as InDesign or Photoshop)
A3_Full Title Page setup. (including Titles, copyright, location, other metadata). These are output from Lightroom as Tiiffs, dropped into a templates I have in InDesign and resaved back to this folder as PDFs ready for internal or external printing.
A2 Full Title Page setup
A1 Full Title Page setup
Publish Services for Zenfolio.
I have created these presets so they automatically store the output in a subfolder below my raw images. I just select in the grid view, right click on Export, select my presets an Lightroom does its magic and creates my outputs, nicely filed away.
Here is a sample using my folder strategy of Year and Job. If I use multiple cameras then I will have sub folders per camera (ie I do not want duplicate image numbers).
If I have large projects, then I create sub folders within my job folder. This could be based on date, photographer, location, or other heading which majes sense for the project.
I spent six weeks travelling thru SE Asia, Australia and New Zealand. For that trip I decided I would create sub folders per card used. I titled the folder with a name to remind me of where I was.
Here is an extract.
In my view putting these into multiple collections (smart or otherwise) becomes too complicated , too quickly.
Lightroom is very powerful, with lots of options. I would get a basic folder set up and evolve your use of collections as you become more familiar with the tools available.

Songwriting workflow suggestions needed!

Hi,
I am a beginning/intermediate Logic user. Am writing songs/tunes... and am experimenting all over the place. This is leading to an Arrange page nightmare.
For instance, I usually sing a melody over chord changes... so there's my A section let's say. Then I reharmonize the chords a few times before I find just the right combination, then I sometimes fiddle with the melody, then I come up with a few possible B sections... then I have a few arrangement ideas - one bassline.. perhaps a different one... maybe I'll transpose a B section...
Anyway - you get the idea. My arrange page is a MESS. And I mute parts and then listen back - and really end up wanting a little from this take, and this one... and ...
I get confused.
Who has workflow suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

What you need to do is comp your takes to one master track, this applies to the bass, the guitar, the flute - whatever. Once you have taken all of the best bits and put them on to a master track, you can put all of the unused bits into a folder, label it "bass takes" for example. Then - very important - change the track from being a folder to being "no output". This way you are assured of not accidentally unmuting things you don't want to hear.
I find that color-coding various takes helps to keep them straight. I usually use red for my first take and move through the color chart for each later take.
So, read the manual about packing folders, coloring objects, changing the track type (from audio to audio instrument to midi to folder to no output).
Organization is crucial. While you are at it, read about saving as a project. You at least want all of the audio files relating to a song/project in one folder. Don't worry so much about having the samples in the project folder unless it is a project you will be moving to another studio.
It also helps to choose the option "name audio files after audio object" on the page that assigns the record path. You can then name the object according to the instrument you are recording. If the object is named "Bass", the takes will be named "Bass#01" and so on.
You have some reading to do!

Suggestions needed on Struts & JSP!

Dear All,
I�m completely new to enterprise computing. I need your suggestions in my project.
The scenario is: I need to design an online shopping application, which contains more than 60 products. Each product has so many features which user can select. Finally pricing will be done depending on that features selected. Technically speaking each product may have at least 6 screens (lengthy forms).
I have to use Struts (form beans also), JSP. Deployment will be on Tomcat.
I am just started with my requirement collection, but wondering about these issues:
1) How to organize so many JSPs, Actions, DAOs
2) What will happen to my struts config file (would definitely be lengthy)
3) How many beans to use, shall I use one bean for one product or one bean for one screen?
4) What table design to use? One table for one product? Or have an attribute table for all products and use cross reference to link my tables?
I need your suggestions as you all be having so much experience in this filed. I am ready to work hard, please guide me in right direction. (please suggest me some Links/article/tutorials etc, im aware of google!!)
Thanks in advance.
Vijay

hi,
i guess u dont have to create an infoset.
that might complicate things,
instead use data mart create an infocube abd use start routine to do ur calculations for pending PO's.
use 2 diffrent transformations for uploading data from the ods.
and use the start routine of any one to do the calculations.
actualyy u could have done this at r3 side by adding one field there only and then uploading the required data in only one ods and then create a cube on it.
this would have simplified ur work.

VJ

JSP/Servlets & XML - suggestion needed

Hi everyone,
I don't have any coding issues, I'm really just looking for some help on deciding how to go with a project I want to make. First off, I wrote a Java library that builds messages in a special format. I wanted to come up with a pretty frontend for it, so I decided I'd try my hand at a webapp since I've been interested in them for a while. So far my web app consists of jsps, servlets and my library.
At this point I'd like to add the ability for the webapp to store created messages in an XML file (read / write). The XML library I want to use is JAXB. I have it setup to read/write my XML file fine in a test servlet, however I'd like to implement this in a kind of "best practice" approach. So I'm looking for suggestions on how I should do this.
A few of my ideas:
1) Use a jsp page to call a "MessagesBean" which retrieves my data from my xml file. I could then format this nicely in the jsp page. The problem with this however is that I can't find any way to open a file relative to the webapp from within a Bean. ie. when I try to open "messages.xml", I can see from tomcat errors that it attempts to open it in tomcats bin folder (or if i run from within eclipse, eclipses bin folder). I know I could get around this by using an absolute path but I want this to be portable. Any suggestions?
2) To solve the above problem I found "getServletContext().getRealPath("")" in the Servlet API. Using this method I'm able to open my XML file relative to my webapp. The only issue I have here is that I'm now using a servlet to display the page, making it harder for me to format the output.
I'm very new to JSP/Servlets/etc so I really don't know how I should be doing this. I'm just trying to make sure I don't start out on the wrong foot. Can someone please give some suggestions on what I could do?
Cheers.

I suggested not putting business logic in the servlet, but instead instansiating a business logic object in the servlet and calling one of its functions to do the work.
There is nothing wrong with putting the business logic in the servlet on first try. Just later on, you might want to refactor the code to more conform to the above.
In your code, you mentioned that the MessagesBean in the JSP page doesnt seem to call the constructor. The <useBean> tag first looks to
see if the object is in request scope. If it is, it uses it (doesnt call constructor). If its not, it creates its own (calls constructor). You should always
have it in request scope ready for useBean to use.
I think this line:
<jsp:useBean id="messages" class="my.package.MessagesBean" />
should be changed to something like:
<jsp:useBean id="messages" class="my.package.MessagesBean" scope="request" />
The MessagesBean should only have get/set methods to get data out of its object (its a very simple object that holds data). None of its functions
should perform business logic such as hitting the database.
Therefore these items in your JSP page should be in the servlet or business logic:
messages.setPath( getServletContext().getRealPath("") ); // Pass in relative PATH
messages.processXML(); // Process XML file
While this should be in your JSP:
java.util.List<TEXT> TextFiles = messages.getTEXTFiles(); // Return a List of TEXT objects
Question: The JSP calls my Bean "MessagesBean". It then passes in the current relative path. This seems fairly hackish to me, is there a better way to give the relative path to my bean?
Answer: Hard code the relative path to the JSP page in the servlet or business logic. There is no need for the JSP page to pass its path back to the servlet or business logic. Your servlet
'knows' the path to all the JSP pages it needs to dispatch to.
The best way to learn MVC is to continually refactor your code until it looks more and more like MVC (separation of concerns).

Typical XI Integration Challenge - suggestions needed

Hello Forum,
I am a very enthusiastic SDN user and have been following the community since a long while now. I have the following challenge at one of our clients and need expert advices, remarks and suggestions based on your knowledge and experience. I have addressed this post also to the Industry Speak as I think this might also be useful to other SAP Partners which are involved in various XI implementations.
We have a typical SAP Integration Project where XI was finalised as "The Integration Solution". We have over 160 Interfaces which are mostly IDOC to File (vice versa) scenarios involving a range of legacy systems. In addition to that we have a number of as-is SAP-SAP scenarios which are realised over BAPI's as of date, which we plan to get realised over XI using RFC Adapters and possibly with Proxies when ever required. Our aim now is to consolidate the number of interfaces where ever possible to avoid the huge number of point-point interfaces. We would really appreciate your valued suggestions/experiences on this.
1. Advantages / Disadvantages of using the IDOC Adapters with in XI instead of the ALE interfaces.
2. What are the possiblities of consolidating the different File Interfaces to talk to one IDOC interface hence reducing the number of point-point interfaces. To put more precisely, multiple senders one or more recievers.
3. I have come to read a lot about IDOC Packaging, how can this be use in a situation as briefed above.
4. Would it be said feasible to get the BAPI Integration Scenarios, running over the Proxy runtime and calling the BAPI's inernally ?
These are the few topics that we would like to discuss with the forum. Due to restriction we are posting this under a strange but in true meaning of the name "XI interest" :-).
Thanking in anticipation,
XI Interest.

Hi XI Interest !!!
<i>>>1. Advantages / Disadvantages of using the IDOC Adapters with in XI instead of the ALE interfaces.</i>
Go thru this thread:
Re: Why is it better to use Proxies and not adapters
<i>>>multiple senders one or more recievers.</i>
Just some configuration in ID (Receiver Determination, Interface Determination).

Yipee, Project completed Now need to remove all project off my Mac and save

I have completed a 1:17:00 minute project. I now want to remover everything off my Mac and save the project either on Disc or Lacie or ?. Is there a way to save everything, capture scratch, footage, etc to disc or a hard drive? I also need to know what I should be saving to ensure everything is there in storage. I would like to free the spaced used for this project. I do not want anything part of this project remaining on my Mac. I would like to burn this project to disc and if I need to ever need to open it again I have all the information there, without have to go back into my original tapes.
Thank you!

I too just finished a big project (three performances of "The Nutcracker" with shot with two cameras, for a total of about 12 hours' worth of capture files, edited down to one final 2-hour presentation) so this thread is a good find for me! It's worth it just to know I don't have to save the contents of the Render Files and Audio Render Files folders, but I've still got something like 200 gb of data.
If you're looking for an alternate suggestion of how to save all the stuff, here's something I found: I went to Best Buy and bought a PC gamer accessory called a Black Widow, from a company called Thermaltake. It costs about $60 and connects via a USB port, and yes, it's Mac-compatible.
It has a slot in the top that accepts a bare SATA hard drive mechanism -- either a standard-size 3.5" or laptop-size 2.5." You just plug the drive mechanism into the slot and it appears on your Mac desktop, where it can be formatted, copied, etc., like any other drive. I already had several SATA drive mechanisms around from upgrading the internal drives on various Macs, so I figure all I need to do is copy all my project files onto one, put it back into its anti-static bag, and store it somewhere safe.

Suggestion needed in SAP career

Hi Forum,
I have one year experiance as abaper. I want to excel in my career..Could you please suggest me what I can learn further to have excellent growth in the SAP field..
Kindly respond..
Thanks & Regards
Mallika

Hi,
What is your current role or rather r u in a project ?
What you need to do is to try and be more techno-functional, because just being an abaper is not enough. After a certain point of time you will start feeling redundant.
If you are in a project try and make the make the best use of your time(not during you project deadlines). Try to learn ABAP webdynpro, there are lots of tutorials available on help.sap.com/ sdn.
Whenever you are given a task by the functional consultant try and find the business use of it rather than thinking how to do the program/ screen etc.
This way you will learn more and advance in your career faster, rather than getting bookish knowledge you will be seen as a person who can not only talk technical but also functional.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Narayani

LR Workflow Suggestions Needed

Now that I will be processing all my RAW images through LR, I'd like someone to help me with my workflow. My current workflow is a bit complicated, and may have to stay so, even with LR; however, if anyone has a good idea on how to simplify it, I'd appreciate it.
I am a Pet Photographer (www.NYPetShots.com) and I usually shoot around 130 photos in an outdoor session. This is what I do, as of now.
I shoot RAW and JPEG and import them into the computer with Canon Breezebrowser.
I review all of the shots, in Breezebrowser, and eliminate both the RAW and JPEG duplicate shots which I feel are absolute losers.
I rename and renumber the RAW and JPEGS in Photoshop Elements 3.0, so that they are consecutively numbered and the RAW corresponds to the JPGS; so, Steven107 is the same in RAW and JPG, and so on, and so there are no gaps in the numbers.
I reduce the JPEGS in size around 1/3 in PSE, so I can put them on my SMUGMUG page for the client to review, in a password protected file. I lightly process a few in PSE to include in an email to the client, with the password, so as to give them some idea of what we can do with the finished product.
I import them into the PSE organizer so I can go along with them and the client on the phone. I import the RAW into the LR library.
This seems very cumbersome. What I must do is prepare JPGS in the same naming convention as the RAW, so they can go onto the web for viewing. They must be reduced in size for easy uploading. I have to be able to refer to the exact same named RAW file as the client refers to in the JPG file.
In any event, I'll have to take my finished RAW and export it from LR and finish it in PSE for a quality JPG to send to the printer.
So, does LR give me tools to simplify this? If so, what would you suggest.
Thanks
Steven

Its not a question of what I don't want. I need to eliminate the ones that are simply not presentable and let the client see all the rest, including those which are marginal. So, when the client looks at them on the web, it makes a better presentation if they look at Steven 1 through 120, and don't skip from 87 to 94. Gaps are no good. When they say they like Steven 37, I need to be able to find the exact RAW image to work on.
I guess I can do some experimenting to see what a RAW to JPG shot looks like, without applying any adjustment to the image. I have to present something good but not finished to the client. I can't process 120 shots, when the client is only picking 5 or 6. (BTW: Most of my shoots are outdoors, where lighting and other conditions change frequently and fast. It is very rare that a shot is absolutely perfect right out of the camera, and it is not possible to apply the same changes to a most of the shots at the same time. I can batch process groups of shots taken with the same backdrop or locale)

Project organization suggestions needed.
