Question about extending network

I just ordered the brand new Airport Extreme. My current Airport Extreme is about 6 years old so I upgraded to take advantage of the better WiFi speeds. What I'm wondering is what I can do with my old Airport Extreme, which still works fine. Does it make sense to set it up somewhere else in the house to extend my wireless signal further away from my new one, and if so, how do I ensure that I'm not connecting to the slower Extreme signal than the newer one if it is extending the network.

Which old model AirPort Extreme do you have?
Round shaped? Square shaped?
If it's the square version, it can be set up to "extend a wireless network", but the extending AirPort will of course not run at 802.11ac speeds.
how do I ensure that I'm not connecting to the slower Extreme signal than the newer one if it is extending the network.
Wireless devices will connect to the AirPort with the strongest signal, which is also going to be the closest AirPort at the time. No way to avoid that.
If you want to maintain 802.11ac speeds throughout an extended network, you will need two new AirPort Extremes.

Question about extend calendar using scal? help,help

recently, we received a mail from sap which saying about extending calendar using scal;
I have read sap notes:1529649 , 501670
and my steps will be:
1> in our qas system using scal
change holiday calendar: choose CN China holiday calendar to change and then enter validation from 1995 to 2098(for example)
2> change factory calendar: choose CN China factory calendar to change and then enter validation from 1995 to 2098(for example)
3> in scal , choose menu: extras-->update calendar buffer
4> transport this change to our prd system.
5> go to scal in prd system to check
6> update prd system `s calendar buffer in scal
I do know whether my steps is right?
I have two questions:
1> we are a chinese compary, and we use several languages:TRADITIONAL CHINESE , SIMPLIFIED CHINESE and ENGLISH;
whether i should change other holiday calendar,such as british calendar?
2> Is there something wrong about my steps?
thanks a lot.

Hi,
You are correct, But You can change it on QAS due to client will not modifiable.
Goto Developement System and run scal.
Most important is to change/extend factory calander and save it. Request will be generated as Workbench. Transport it to Production System.

Not so trivial question about extending a wireless network

Hello,
I've always had Wi-Fi signal strength issues in my house. Two days ago my Linksys router died and I got the new AirPort Extreme. Things got a bit better signal wise. Feature wise things got a whole lot better! Which got me thinking about the next step.
The two farthest corners of my hose are wired with CAT5E, and I have a gigabit router. My AirPort Extreme is on one of these corners, meaning I have a weak signal on the other corner. My question is, can I add another AirPort Extreme to the other corner, hook it on the wired LAN and have it extend my wireless network? I don't want to see 2 different networks. I want to see just my wireless network and have a strong signal everywhere. Can this be done?

Actually a Linux server is my internet connection (has two NICs). All the computers in my house plug into a Gigabit hub. The AirPort express is configured as "Share a public IP address", instead of "Bridge Mode", because I want to be able to use the "Guest Network" feature (so cool!). Yes I have two DHCP/NAT servers, but they don't interfere with each other, as they are on separate networks. My main network is 192.168.1, my AirPort network is 192.168.2, and my Guest Network is 10.0.42.
I will try both your suggestions and report back. It would be perfect if I could just plug the second AirPort to the Gigabit hub, but I don't mind chaining it to the first AirPort, if that's what it takes.
This is turning out to be a really fun project and I might finally fix the wireless signal in my house after all these years
Thanks!

Questions about Extended classic scenario

Hi gurus,
I'm working in SRM 5.0, ECS, backend ECC 6.0 (only one backend).
Everytime a SC is being approved a SRM PO has be created. Then a copy of this PO has to be created in ECC with document Type ATT and the same number of the SRM PO.
I have two questions
First of all I need to know the settings to make in 'Define objects in backend system' (for every purchasing Group and every Category ID, I need to create always PO in backend).
P.Gr Category ID Source System Internal proc. External proc.
* TRDCLNT011 Always external procurement PO if item data complete, otherwise P.Req.
Is this correct?
Secondly I need to understand the logic for number range definition
SRM Activities
1 - Define number range for Shopping Cart
I Need to create a SC number range
01 1000000000 - 1999999999
and then associate this range (01) to SHC transaction type ('Int.n' field)
2 - Define a number range for local PO
LO 7000000000 - 7999999999
and then associate this range (LO) to ECPO transaction type ('Int.n' field)
3- Create a new transaction type 'ATT' (backend PO)
4 - Define a number range for backend PO
PO 7000000000 - 7999999999
and then associate this range (PO) to ATT transaction type ('Int.n' field)
ECC Activities
1 - Define a number range for document type ATT
XX 7000000000 - 7999999999
and then associate this range (XX) to ATT Document type 'External
Is this correct?
I'd really appreciate your help
Points will be rewarded
Thaks in advance
Best regards
Gg

Hi. It all sounds about right.
I don't think the define backend docs does a great deal in ECS, you always get a PO with extended classic. If you ever want anything but a PO, a reservation for example, you have to not use extended classic for those items.
The number ranges look OK, although I think you only need 1 number range for the backend/local POs, it should all go in line on its own. It's been a while since I got an ECS system going so it is hard to remember.
The thing to do is try it in a test system and see what happens.
If anything goes wrong let us know on SDN what error messages you get and we should be able to help.
Regards,
Dave.

Somewhat confused about extending network with express

I have a Belkin N+ wireless router running between my imac and cable modem. They are both in my office next to my computer.
My wife's macbook is at the other end of our house. The signal she gets is ok. When I turn on my ipod touch in our bedroom, the signal it receives is barely adequate.
I have a "N" express. I thought if I plugged it into the wall midway between my office and my wife's that would act as kind of a repeater to give the signal a boost in that part of the house.
Is that wrong?
If so, is there anything I can do with the express to boost the signal for her office and the ipod at that end.
Maybe plug it into the wall by her macbook and run and Ethernet cable into her macbook? Would doing that also boost the wireless signal in that part of the house?
I've read a bit on this forum about connected the express to the wireless modem and then adding another express. Would that do it?
Sorry for so many questions, but I would be grateful for any advice.
jeff

Just one more quick question: if I pick up an extra express to go with the one I already have, plus the extreme, will three as opposed to to the extreme and one express make the network that much stronger?
Adding base stations won't make it "stronger". With additional base stations you can increase the coverage of the wireless network.
Ok, two questions, is there a special setup with the routers plus the cable modem that would be most efficient for broadcasting the signal through my home?
No

Questions about Extending Active Directory Schema

We have about 24 Macs at the moment in the environment and we are starting to look at Extending the Active Directory Schema. I have been doing a lot of reading over the past few weeks and I think that I am more confused the more I research it. The Windows Servers here are running Server 2008_R2. So here are my questions:
1. If we extend the schema does that mean that we do not need an OS X Server?
2. Is this really the easiest option to go with?
3. We are looking to be able to apply GPOs to the Macs through Active Directory so will this accomplish it?
4. Will this also allow Group Policy Preferences to map printers to the Macs automatically too?
5. Is this the least expensive option?
6. What is the best way to convince the Windows Administrators that this is how we should proceed?
Thanks
Pads

Hi
1. Yes. However OSX Server offers far more than MCX or Mac-Style GPOs. NetBoot, SUS, Wiki are some you should be looking at IMO.
2. Again IMO not really. It takes a lot of work and you really don't want to be doing this on a 'live' server. Set up a lab environment first, thoroughly test it and then go with it when you're happy. The other possible 'gotcha' is you will have no way of knowing if Microsoft decide to change/amend or extend their own proprietary schema in a Revision update sometime in the future. If that does happen then you may be looking at doing it all over again?
3. Yes, but you will still need WorkGroup Manager installed on a mac client. The documentation is clear about what to do once the Schema has been extended.
4. Not done this myself but I would think so.
5. Yes, but is it the 'best' option? Not in my opinion.
6. Offer them the 'easier' but more expensive alternatives (some of them very expensive) and see which way they jump.
HTH?

Question about extending classes

Hi
I've created my own class that extends javax.swing.JTextField as follows:
public class myTextField extends javax.swing.JTextField{
     public myTextField(){
          super();
          initialize();
     protected void initialize()
          super.setEditable(false);
          super.setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.JTextField.LEFT);
          super.setBorder(null);
          super.setSelectionColor(null);
}Dunno if this is the best way to do it, but it works, so I'm happy!
My question is: Is it possible to have more than one definition in this class?
For example, a myTextField2 that extends JTextField with completly different attributes (eg, different back ground colour etc) or do I have to create a new class?

For example, a myTextField2 that extends JTextField
with completly different attributes (eg, different
back ground colour etc) No, but you can create another constructor that accepts different arguments.
public myTextField(Color c)Like that. By the way class names should start with an upper-case character.

Question about Extending Materials

Hi,
I have a new material that i need to extend to the plants. I have a question, if i do not extend the materials to the relevant sales organization, valuation type, and distribution channel, what is the impact of this to the system?

You can extend to different plants via MM01, specify the material, select the views & then the plant.
If you want to do in mass, you may want to evaluate MM50 for view extension & MM17 for values, also LSMW.
The impact of not maintaining certain views will impact the business transactions
Eg: Sales view not created, no sales order can be done for this material, if the material is to be managed via deliveries, it cannot be done.
Hope the above helps.

Vivek

Question about extending wireless...

ok, i live on a ranch in northern california and we have wireless up at a lodge, but it does not reach that far, we are trying to figure out a cost-effective way to extend the wireless down to where we stay on the ranch, it is about 1/5 of a mile away, is there any way to extend the wireless....thanks for the help..oh and we are running mainly pcs, but i am the smart one with a mac...

not a problem anymore...

Newbi question about Extend...

I have just started to look into using Extend to develop some developer utility tools. When reading the documentation it is not clear to me if a cache (lets say a near cache) can be accessed BOTH by extend clients and cluster members and in that case is there some example on how to do the cache configuration (both on extend client and cluster members)?
What made me believe that it would NOT be possible is that one must decide what cache service that should handle each cache so it can either be handled by an ExtendService OR DistributedCacheService or perhaps I have got this all wrong?
/Magnus

Hi Magnus,
maybe I did not totally understand the question.
With Extend clients the client does not actually access the cache in the cluster. The proxy server does it for them and for RT clients it also propagates events to the client (which is necessary for the near cache entry invalidation on changes). So in case of the extend client, the operative part of the description of the behaviour is the remote/proxy and the only requirement is that there needs to be a NamedCache of the same name in the cluster the proxy node is a member of. What that cache in the cluster is is just a configuration detail not actually exposed at all to the client.
The operative part of a near cache is the (size limited due to being in-JVM but very fast) front map (usually a LocalCache) and SOME KIND OF (which needs not be size limited, and is usually slower) back cache from which entries can be fetched and which provides a synchronous invalidation event to the listener the front map registers on the back cache. The type of the back cache is just a configuration detail. The only requirement is that the back cache needs to implement ObservableMap (for registering a synchronous listener for invalidation events) and CacheMap (for optimized put operations) and InvocableMap (for optimized remove operations)... which is expressed as the back cache has to implement NamedCache.
In the usual understanding the back cache of a near cache is configured to be a distributed cache, but it is nowhere mandated to be a distributed cache.
Indeed, in the extend clients the back cache of the near cache is a remote cache (proxied cache), which is in fact a client proxy (stub) implementing the NamedCache interface to the proxy server which adapts the named cache with the same name in the TCMP cluster which again wouldn't necessarily need to be a distributed cache.
In short, a near cache is just a cache which is as NEAR to you and as fast as possible. A remote cache is just that, a cache which sits on the other end of the TCP*Extend connection.
I hope this clears it up.
Best regards,
Robert

Question about open network and Airport

Hi,
in my school there is a open network that allows me to surf the web with my MacBook, but my room has a very bad location so for me to connect to the network I have to put my MacBook in the window of the room. I always try to connect from inside the room but I don't have signal available. My question is: can I use some sort of Airport extreme, express or generic Wireless Router to capture the signal in the window and then send it to the inside of my room??? Any suggestions, websites? I have no access to the router (no admin access to configure).
Thanks!
PS: Sorry, english it's not my first language (writing from Chile)...
Best,
AUP

Do you need to be wireless in your room?
If not then an ethernet wireless bridge would be a possibility such as the Linksys WET54G.
If you want to be wireless you could use a Linksys WET54G to pick up the signal from the Window and then connect a wireless access point (such as the Airport Express or any cheap 802.11g wireless access point) to the WET54G for wireless access.

Network Management: Question about calculating network,host and broadcast a

I would like to say i am new to this forum and I do not know if this is the right place to post this but i am currently in a cisco academy for CCNA and if anyone else is in this class i am stuck @ 6.2.2 in the online cisco material.....
given the following address/prefix of 141.124.88.174/30
enter the last octet in binary of the network,
I am totally lost @ how to find the network octet i know /30 means the first 30bits are network and the last 2 are host i also know the last octet is 10101100 or 172
my question how do you get .174 to .172??? if you are wondering how i know the answer --it is in the book i just dont know how to do it on my own :)
thanks much

Eric
My sense is that you may have skipped a step (or maybe I skipped in understanding your post). The best way to explain this is to refer to binary - which you have started to do.
For address ...174 the last octet is 101011 10 (in which 101011 represent the network bits and 10 represent the host bits). To find the network bits make the host bits all binary 0 - which means that the subnet address is 101011 00 or 172.
So the answer to your question is that you get from 174 (host address ) to 172 (network address) by changing all host bits to binary zero.

Question about : Securing Networks with ASA Foundation (SNAF)

Dear All,
I would like to ask about the exam Securing Networks with ASA Foundation (SNAF) as below:
1- How i can download documents before i take exam? ( i mean did it have offline file?)
2- i was pass CCNA and CCDA already so can i continuous to take this exam?
I try to find ebook and offline file from Cisco website but it don't have....
Please let me know if you know this ...:)
best regards,
Rechard

There's a quick reference book for SNAF. You can find it on the cisco press website. There's also an older book called "Cisco ASA: All-in-One Firewall, IPS, and VPN Adaptive Security Appliance". It's from 2005 but it's usefull.
After CCNA I'd recommend you to pass CCNA:Security before you take SNAF. It's needed both for ASA Specialist and for CCSP.
Good luck

General question about storage, networking, and using large amounts of data

I have been using a powermac tower G5 up until now. I bought my daughter a macbook pro 15" i7, talk about a zippy little machine. What a screamer. I can't believe how fast it is with final cut express, Aperture, and Photoshop. I tend to use higher end stuff, video, photos, etc. Hence I need not only a good fast processor, but the storage....need lots of hard disk space.
oh, did I mention I bought this for my daughter who's about to go off to college? Heh, when I'm home, she loses the machine to me.... *evil grin*
Anyways, I haven't considered using a laptop before for me personally as I just don't care for the small screen size, no mouse, and things like that.
Seems I've changed my opinion, esp seeing as the new mouse track pad is a game changer. I still am not crazy about the small screen size, but I can get over it.
The one thing I can't get around is the small disk storage. I have 4 TB on my big machine. Between my video, photography, and music, I am nearing a full TB of just raw stuff. If I count all the things I've stored, especially finished videos I make of photography projects, well you can image the chomping that occurs on disk storage.
So what is a man to do about storage?
I'm really getting hooked on this zippy little machine. The idea of dragging it around is compelling. Having my work not tied to a desk is fun.
but the lack of storage is sucky, terribly so.
I have one possible option, taking the G5 and making it a server. I can use it for backup and high speed transfer, working on the transfer part today.
I thought I'd poll the collective wisdom of the community and see what do you peeps think is the best overall way to handle such a situation?
What is the absolute fastest best way to use external drives? Firewire 800 is ok, but when working with 400gb aperture database files....
I'm hoping there is some way to start posturing myself to really use a laptop for my full computing experience.
Or am I trying to make a small portable machine act like a tower? Is this not a reasonable hope at this point in time?
I'm open to suggestions. I'm going to purchase something when my daughter takes this laptop with her to college. Either a new mac pro tower or laptop. I love the portability but need speed and massive storage.
Thanks for opining.

Storage:
1. Replace the drive with a larger one. Up to 1 TB is now available for notebook drives.
2. Get a portable external drive for additional storage needs. See the options at OWC as an example.
Drive speed:
1. FW 800 should be fast enough for your work. If the computer has an ExpressCard slot then consider a card supporting full speed eSATA. You may then achieve speeds closer to the internal bus.
A laptop is not a tower so stop thinking of or comparing to your tower. Besides the laptop's speed compared to your G5 is more like comparing a Ford Focus to a Ferrari F150.
As for "polling" opinions here: polling is forbidden by the forums' Terms of Use.

Question about extending dimension and fact tables

We have our data warehouse completely loaded with several years of historical data. We now want to extend one of our dimension tables by performing a type 1 customization to add an additional column to that dimension table.
Is there a way for the ETL to update all of the historical records in the dimension table by filling in the data for the new column? Assume that we made the necessary changes in the database and updated the ETL mapping accordingly. We want to avoid having to truncate the table or doing a full load again -- even just for that table and the corresponding facts.

Remove the last refresh date for the table in the DAC repository...that will force an ujpdate of the whole table without you needing to reload everything.
Oh yeah and you're in the wrong forum: Business Intelligence Applications
