Re Organizing catalog from scratch
Is it true that everything in the Organizer is only made up of shortcuts? If you import items into your Catalog the program just analyzes the nominated folder etc & then creates shortcuts for JPEG, MOV files etc & doesn't actually import anything other than some details?
My catalogue is a mess because everything seems to have evolved over time perhaps because the various cameras I use also have their own software & they may have put then in someplace different from what I expected.
If the above is true then I was wondering what is the best way to simplify the links to the pictures that are much more complicated than they need be especially if you are using Windows 7. For instance I can do a Windows search for a picture with a particular name that I happen to know exists & ask windows where the picture is located & I end up with something like.
Computer,local disc,user,users
or Library,Pictures,My Pictures,Adobe,Catalogue,friends,Amy
or Computer,data,My Pictures,Adobe,Egypt,Aswan
What would happen if I were to just throw away the existing catalog, then change the folder tree that way I like it & then tell the Organizer to import from just one new location that also has sub folders? Would I loose all of my tages etc?

You need to be aware that using the Organizer backup feature is not optimal at all. I simply cannot use it because it takes too much time to back up 1.5 TB of photos and video. Even incrementally this would mean I would require the full backup set to even begin to do a backup.
I am an intensive user of the backup of the Organizer (PSE6) and I know its limitations. 'Optimal' depends of the user profile. With 1.5 TB of photos, you need another backup policy. I only have 0.4 TB with 45 000 photos and 600 tags in my main catalog. Backup/restore are night tasks.
I have always insisted on NEVER using the incremental backup, totally ineffective and badly documented.
By the way, I am trying Lightroom, and this pro software does not try to backup files and is not 'optimal' for videos.

The Organizer also does not back up the media analysis cache directories. It would take a week or two for PrE to re-generate this. I also include these directories as part of my normal backup.
I don't use media analysis (PSE6). If I don't want to wait hours for the thumbnail cache to rebuild I could save it as a last step before the restore and copy it as a first step after the restore.

You cannot use Organizer to change the location of restored media and catalog for example if you were to migrate to a new operating system that has a different structure (i.e. Windows XP to 7) because it stores absolute path information in the catalog for some items.
My normal PC is with XP and I have another one with Vista; I simply restore in a custom folder keeping the folder structure. I admit that I am not a heavy video users, but I never had any problems with videos, albums or projects. Once again, I am in PSE6. And I also use a cloning utility (acronis).

Lightroom 2.6 trial download - how to build a catalog from scratch.
I have downloaded Lightroom 2.6 trial version and am trying to build a small catalog for it. I don't need my whole Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE 8) catalog, but I would like to build a small catalog out of images in the My Pictures folder so that I can experiment with this software. It recognizes the existence of my old PSE 6 catalog, but says it is corrupt and ask about building a new catalog. It will not recognize my PSE 8 catalog. How do I go about bypassing this "catalog recognition step" and go right to that part of the software that will let me build a catalog from the images contained in various folders in the My Pictures main folder. Unless I can get to the part where I can build a catalog to test out LR 2.6, then I am stuffed (as the Aussies would say) as far as testing this product. Maybe I need to download the Lightroom 3 Beta and see if it will recognize my PSE 8 catalog. Any suggestions, insight on how to resolve this dilemma are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
WesternGuyWhen I bring up LR, it asks me if I want to buy or try...so to speak, I check off <try> and the <Next> and <Back> buttons are immediately greyed out and the only thing I can do is click on <Finish> or <Cancel>. If I click on <Finish>, It tells me that "the Lightroom catalog named "catalog" cannot be opened because it is not valid. Would you like to select a different catalog". The catalog is not registered as a valid catalog." It tells me where this invalid catalog is and then I have a choice of buttons that ask me to "choose a different catalog" or another button that says "Exit". If I select "choose a different catalog, then it asks for a location and gives me a button that says "Create a new catalog", it then goes to the My Pictures folder inside a panel that has at the top "Create folder with New Catalog" and then I don't seem to be able to do anything it likes. I never get to a menu that gives me the "File/New Catalog" option.(???)
Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall LR2.6.

WesternGuy -
Had pse 8 on a Windows 7 PC with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If install pse 12 or Lightroom on the Mac will I be able to use the old catalog backup or must I start from scratch.
If you made a full catalog backup using the organizer's backup command, and you did it to a removable drive, yes, you can restore it to the mac. A backup made on discs will not work, though.

Create shared library on external drive from scratch
I have seen many posts about creating shared iTunes libraries on external drives with many different configurations, but mostly with pre-existing libraries. My question is creating the library from scratch. The purpose is obviously to share songs among several computers AND only have one copy of a song as to not take up unnecessary disk space on several computers.
All of our songs are on an external USB hard-drive attached to Airport Xtreme. Every song is in album folder, and every album folder is in an artist folder (very organized). All the artist folders (with their album and then song contents) are in a root folder called "Songs" on the external hard-drive.
We have upgraded our three Macs (iMac, MBP and MacMini) to Leopard and deleted all iTunes folders on each local hard drive (there was nothing in them anyway). We now want to create ONE iTunes folder on the hard drive so that each computer can access it. What are the steps? Here is what I "think" I've learned here on the postings with my questions:
1) First I opened iTunes on my first, main computer (iMac) and went into "Preferences" to change the iTunes music folder to [Ext HD]:iTunes:iTunes Music. The option, "Copy to music folder..." is deselected. (This will also be done on the other computers).
2) Now what to do? I could just move all of my song artist folders with their album subfolders and music files inside them, into the "iTunes Music" folder. But then what do I click to get iTunes to see all the songs and put them in its database? The other option is click "Add to Library" - but then don't I have to select all the individual songs? (I actually tried the latter method and it kept crashing). Can I just move all the folders into [Ext HD}:iTunes:iTunes Music folder and click something to get it to create its database based on all the music files that are now in its subfolders?
3) Next step. I have seen many people write that they then create an "Alias" and put the Alias in their "Music" folder on their LOCAL, computer's hard drive. Could someone now explicitly, step-by-step, describe how this is done? I assume I go to the external hard drive. Am I creating an alias of the entire "iTunes" folder, or of the "iTunes Music" subfolder, or of the library file??? Please answer this specifically.
So now I have "XXX alias" that I copy to my local, computer's hard drive and put it on my desktop. I take out the "....alias" word, and drag it to my local "Music" folder. It asks me to replace the existing folder/file, and I say yes. Correct? And then I do this on all three computers, correct?
4) Finally, after I've done all of this, I still have the following functionality questions -
4a) When we now add to the library, either from a CD or online purchase, ONE copy of the music should go in the "iTunes Music" folder on the external drive, correct?
4b) This system means that all three computers MUST have the same iTunes library, playlists, etc, correct? The downside of this system is that you cannot personalize libraries for each computer and just share the actual music files, correct? (If so, is there another process [steps 1-4 above] that results in a more customizable system where *ONLY ONE COPY* of the actual song file is shared?)
Sorry for the length of the message, and the questions. Truly I have read all the postings but was unable to map out my plan before I go and creating, finally, this one set of music that we can share. In advance, thank you all for your help.I was afraid you'd say that, because I'm a long time Mac guy and I don't have the perfect answer. Have you ever messed with remote desktop? That'd seem to give her full access and control, something I personally wouldn't do, although it may work for you.
Another thought came to me that might work: copy over the complete library to her machine, and then when you do another major shoot, create a new catalog, edit, etc.and then import as catalog to you main one while sending her the new one.
I am sure there are more elegant solutions, but these are a couple of ways. -
Recovering a backups from scratch
Hello.
I'm a UNIX SA, not a DBA, so I appologies if I seem alittle daft when it comes to Oracle.
We've been doing RMAN backups of our databases for some time. I handle the NetBackup side of things and our DBA handles the RMAN side. Looking forward to a possible major disaster I'm trying to become more comfortable with using RMAN myself so that I can be more helpful in case of a real disaster. I'd like to be able to recover complete databases from scratch (on a new bare system) for 2 reasons: 1) It allows me to verify (for paranoia reasons) offsite RMAN backups from time to time, and 2) if a real disaster occured that obliterated our current systems completely I would need to get databases recovered so that our DBA could check and get them running rather than just doing the normal SA thing and say "NetBackups ready, have fun".
I've looked through the docs and I bought the 9i RMAN book, but I'm unclear on recovering from a bare system.
How much of the system needs to be installed and/or recovered before I can recover a database? Obviously Oracle itself needs to be installed or recovered from tape, but do I need to create a new empty database before recovery? What do I need to know about the old database before I can recover it from tape?
For testing, completely seperate from our production enviroment, I have a NetBackup server with the RMAN offsite duplications loaded, I've got a system with Oracle installed and 1 empty database and I've linked the RMAN client into Oracle (libobk). Thats the extent of my knowlage as an SA. What do I need to do now to recover the database and bring it online?
Any help is greatly appreciated.I am not sure whether if u understood ur question clearly,
but if what u are saying is as follows:
Everyday, the DBA does his backup via RMAN and u backup the RMAN source files via NetBackup to store is offsite and etc?
Current -Full System
Unix OS--> Oracle Software
--> Oracle DB
--> RMAN Bkp
--> NetBackup
Bare System
Unix OS -->
Rebuild System --
Note: make sure the file system is set up the same as it was before.
1. Install the Oracle Software
-Oracle Home on same path/directory as before
2. Restore the RMAN backuped data files (plus control file) and archived log files from NetBackup
-restore should also include the
- init.ora/spfile,
- password file,
3. Restoring them should bring the rman file(s) to their source.
4. Tell the DBA to create the Instance of the database.
-oradim executuable in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory
5. DBS should: Connect as sys as sysdba in sqlplus
6. Startup nomount
7. Go to the RMAN catalog database
8. locate the rman executable in $ORACLE_HOME/bin
9. rman> connect sys/pwd@dbname catalog rmanuser/pwd@rman_db
10. issue, rman> list backupset

How do I move the tags and catalogs from old Photoshop Elements on old computer to new computer?
I am trying to move my Photoshop Elements information to a new computer. I have gotten the software installed, and the picture files moved over, but the tags and catalogs are not showing up on the new computer. From looking online, it looks like there is a way to attach that information to the files on the old computer before transferring them over. Ugh! Hindsight! Having already transferred over 35,000 jpg files to my new computer, is there any other way to move that information over without deleting all those files on my new computer and starting from scratch?
Even if you have the same folder structure, the organizer will find that the internal serial number of the drive is different and show all files as missing; you'll need to reconnect. That's why the backup and restore method is better. It also recognizes the need to upgrade (convert) the catalog format to the new version of Elements.

Nope!
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

Replacing Server - starting from scratch
our organization has an SCCM2012 server in place which is up and running for about a year now.
every once in a while, at random times and for random users, all the programs in the catalog get installed - without the user's request.
we tried everything trying to fix it, but without success.
i think it's time to start from scratch... create a new server, install sccm, recreate all packages, etc.
any help regarding the correct procedure to do so will be appreciated!There are many guides available that can help you during the installation (see:
https://www.google.nl/?gws_rd=ssl#q=install+sccm+2012). A few things to keep in mind:
Use a different site code;
When you are using auto assignment, make sure that the site assignment boundaries don't overlap.
Also, did you already log a case with Microsoft to look at your issue? That would be my last resort before starting over..

Recently, my mid-2009 MacBook Pro has been crashing when I close the screen ("it's having a problem recognizing when the screen is closed/open and deciding what to do, error overload etc."). It wasn't an SMC issue so I took it to an Apple Store, ran some tests, and decided my hard-drive is failing.
Not wanting to spend an insane amount of money on some "official apple hard-drive," I want to install a new 256GB SSD instead. Hoping to squeeze as much life out of this computer as possible (in January I upgraded from 4 GB RAM to 8 GB), I would like to try and start from scratch, i.e. back-up important folders, music, photos etc. and only take that to the new hard-drive. If someone could explain all the steps I need to take to safely complete this task (or point me in the direction of a guide) I'd appreciate it.
Potentially Important info:
Model: mid-2009 13'' MacBook Pro
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software: OS X 10.8.4
Some additional questions I have...
Should I be concerned with making a fully bootable back-up (not sure what that is called) as well? If so, what program should I use to create it?
How much more life should I try and push out of this computer? I'm an engineering student and really only use it for web-surfing, music, and
word-processing. The batter was replaced in March, the RAM was upgraded to 8 GB in January. When the battery was swapped, the trackpad went nuts so that's new too. Only other issues are a slightly loose audio jack and the left side of the screen being slightly wobbly (hinge is worn I'm told).cwgonzalez1192

Well there is no "official Apple HD / SSD" in any regard, no worries there.
If as you say youre only using same for surfing and word processing, why the need for a SSD? You would not notice any speed diff. in use on either of those,....in boot times yes, but in word or surfing, not.
You can push it likely a few more years, for mere surfing and word processing,...many many years. Up TO the point that any major fixes become unrealistic relative to getting a new(ER) machine.
Concerned with a boot clone? yes and no. Its an ideal immediate recovery, since you cannot boot from Time Machine, ....in case of HD crash, recovery takes seconds from boot, or 20 mins or so from removing old and installing a clone. All the prosumers and pros have at least one updated clone of their prime machines.
You can do a "fresh install" if you choose, however if your current drive is FINE, why not merely clone it and save yourself some headache?...., but that is your prerogative of course. Ideally 2 drives, one to backup your data (you need that regardless of installing a new drive for sake of a backup/archive,...ideally 2 actually, not merely one).
You could clone internal to NEW SSD/HD , ...then offload unnecessary files to an external to free up space and clutter and run off the clone, and this would only take a couple hours......the clone itself takes approx. 40+ mins.
CLONE Apps :
Superduper does not clone the recovery partition, but that is NOT necessary if you keep the original HD as a “backup clone”. Most don’t bother with the recovery partition in a clone, however that is your prerogative.

Query based taxonomy from scratch gives NoSuchMethodError...
I'm trying to create a query based taxonomy following the instuctions specified in the help docs: KM Platform -> Admin Guide -> Content Mgmt -> Taxonomies and Classification -> Creating a QBT -> from scratch. I created an index on a newly created (hence empty) folder in the 'documents' repository. So, essentially, the data source points to that folder. Also, I selected 'TREX Classification' on the 'Service' drop-down while creating the index. I left the crwler profile as blank. Then I went on to create a new 'Query Based Taxonomy'. I was able to create it alright, but as soon as I click on it to add folder and the such, I get this error:

We run EP6 SP2.
I did NOT create a 'crawler profile' for this set up.
thanks,
Biju.Hi Biju,
re. your NW'04 SP stack 4 migration intention:
NW'04 is still in ramp-up (SP stack 4 is the current shipment bundle of it) so at the current point in time, only participating ramp-up customers can use it.
A migration from EP6.0 SP2 to NW'04 will be possible (but not during the ramp-up phase).
From a Knowledge Management & Collaboration perspective, we will port most of the NW'04 SP stack 4 functions to EP6.0 SP2 as well. These functions will be shipped as EP6.0 SP2 Patch 5 (planned shipment date beginning of Q4 / 2004) so for mid-term, you can also plan to stay on EP6.0 SP2 if you have no other pressing reasons for going to NW'04 (e.g. enhanced Web AS functions).
This feature porting from NW -> EP6.0 SP2 is an 'only-once' action, however, and NetWeaver will be the release for new features in the future.

Hi Friends...
I’m trying to delete a back-up file on mu TC but I get the message “The operation could not be completed because the item “bands” is in use. I’d like to start the Back from scratch, could help me out with deleting the current file?Sorry, I am very confused. I asked the following question....
Is this the only backup file on your Mac, or do you have other backup files and data on the Time Capsule disk?
The answer that you gave was....
This is the only one
Now you are saying that....
But I have lots of other files on Time Capsule! The back up file is only one of them.
Can you clarify, please? -

So I created a button on my home page, and it is linked to this XML file. Everything works great except it only shows the item that I coded in...I want it to show ALL items.
Can I do this without having to input each item individually?
Is this how I should do it anyways with a button linking to this xml file?
I really want to have like 3-5 of the posts to auto update on my home page but I dont know how to embed the RSS into my HTML home page file.
Also, the way I have it coded, will it automatically update the new posts?
or do I have to wait for the new post and input the item into the xml file?
I am very new to the RSS feed so please help.

Scratch 22: Creating XML Publisher report from scratch in eBS
Problem:
How to build a XML Publisher (XMLP) report in eBS from scratch. Thus NOT adapting or converting an existing report.
Context:
I have an eBS R12 Vision instance up and running where I want to learn building XMLP reports.
This is what all tutorials I can find tell me to do:
Most reports apparently consist of a layout template e.g. TEST.rtf and a data template e.g. TEST.xml. Now in order to generate a new report layout I am supposed to take existing output in XML format and (using ‘Load Data’ function in Template Builder plugin in Word) specify in my layout template where and how I want the actual data to pop up. So far so good.
But now I want to build the data template from scratch and use it combined with a layout template. So I build the data template but can’t use that for building the layout template. For that I need output, for which I need a layout template.....
Sounds like Catch 22 to me. How do I break this?
1. Can I generate an XML-output file from the XML Data Template alone?
2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
Oh yes, dunno the first thing about Java and do not have My Oracle Support..

create data definition with your data template-> create concurrent -> output as xml -> run -> view output and your xml
I thought the XDODTEXE engine would pick up the (Layout) Template through concurrent program definition CPD short name which in turn points to the Data Definition (and thus Data Template). So does your answer mean I can call straight from CPD to Data Definition? I tried registering my Data Template in the Template Tab but it will not take XML as a type.2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
if you want to use xml publisher desktop then you need xml (with data, not definition)
So that's not an option I understand. Weird cuz I'd expect this to be technically easier.btw you can create your layout (rtf) without xml (data) and without data template (xml with select statement)
create filed and past tag definition
Yes but in that case I'd have an empty report. How would that help me?bouble click on filed:
"Text Form Field Options" -> "Add Help Text ..." -> "Status Bar" (tab) -> "Type your own:"
if you use bi publisher desktop plugin
bouble click on filed:
"BI Publisher Properties" -> "Advanced" -> "Code"
or switch to Word Properties
"BI Publisher Properties" -> "Word Properties" and use above path
3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
may be ;) -
The computer (Win XP) on which the Airport Utility has been set up for the past few years is no longer accessible, so I need to set it up on a different computer. Can I do that with my exisitng wireless network, or will I have to set up a new network from scratch, once I have installed Airport Utility on the new machine?
You can install AirPort Utility on either a Mac or PC, but there would be no reason to make any changes to your existing configuration on the AirPort Extreme unless you need to do so.

C#: Building a SOFTWARE SOLUTION from scratch to finish
Hello good people of MSDN. I have a VERY SIMPLE REQUEST... (Here goes)
I'm trying to build an Application (from scratch, custom specs) that allows the user to manage, organize and keep track of books that are available in a library. This system is to be made use of in environments such as personal library, public library, any
situation that requires/involves the constant movement of BOOKS.
Now, I have presented a solution to the client which works OKAY but there has been a SUDDEN CHANGE of heart, now the client wants the solution to be implemented quite differently. The solution that I BUILT is basically an ASP.NET C# Application that runs LOCALLY
so it opens up in the browser (IIS installed and all that) for the user to make use of the Application. Now when I want to have the entire Application to FUNCTION on another system I simply copy the Database, the Application folder (that has all the files
in it) place it in the IIS Directory... ... (So as not to waste your PRECIOUS TIME). To access the Application we simply open up the BROWSER enter localhost/the Application's URL...
The client, first of all does NOT want the BROWSER in the mix of things (ANYMORE !!!); secondly, does not want to have to go through all of this process of COPYING FILES INTO LOCATIONS, IIS etc etc in order to get the solution to WORK/OPERATE on another/several
other computers. The client wants to be able to have an EXECUTABLE INSTALLATION file that when clicked installs a SOFTWARE APPLICATION that opens up in its own WINDOW ENVIRONMENT without the help/assistance of the BROWSER !
This is my PREDICAMENT there's NO TIME... I need to AT LEAST present a working prototype in less than 24hrs!
So my questions are:
1.) Is there anyway for me to convert my ASP.NET C# Web Application into an installable client software without losing any of the components that make it work?
2.) If I have to build the ENTIRE Application into a WinForms PROJECT (I'm using VS 2010) can I STILL MAKE USE of the DATABASE I used for the ASP.NET C# Application?
3.) I don't want to have to DUMP my SQL SERVER DATABASE (as it is) to start creating a DB using something else like MS Access. Do I have a choice?
I have included with this post a Notepad doc that details the sketch of what I am HOPING to ACHIEVE. I would Appreciate it if anyone can (KINDLY) take it up and create according to the SPECIFICATIONS included in the doc. I have tried to be very DETAILED and
DESCRIPTIVE in the doc to make it easy for the DEVELOPER to FOLLOW THROUGH. Can it be done?
(If ANYONE can take it up and provide the solution it would be a good thing because it would ALWAYS be available to other DEVELOPERS who can read through the CODE and become better C# PROGRAMMERS and better at using Visual Studio. As this is a VERY REAL
LIFE SCENARIO coders can LEARN from the SITUATION).
At the end of the whole CODING PROCESS I intend to BUILD the Source to become a SINGLE EXECUTABLE FILE that will INSTALL the Application on the clients system. If anyone can PROFFER (and MAYBE RENDER) a SOLUTION that's ACCURATE, SPEEDY, RELIABLE to me, I would
be grateful!
The Software is to be used in a school. Students are only going to REQUEST for books, RETURN the books that they collected. They are NOT BUYING books!
Working/Functional Prototype
(The PROTOTYPE I hope to present REALLY SOON should be CAPABLE of the FOLLOWING)
1. Navigate/Move through the different Forms/GUI Screens when the appropriate buttons are clicked
2. Interact with the DB (to some extent) and carry out (for now)TRANSACTIONS like adding books, viewing list of books, delete book, Register Student (other DB operations can be included much later)
3. When the Application is LAUNCHED a Splash Screen is displayed introducing the Application (while the Application is loading), then when it's done Loading, the Application opens to present the Start Screen
4. An EXECUTABLE INSTALLATION FILE that can be used to conveniently INSTALL the Application on multiple systems... Just in-case it is to be installed on a computer system that's not Windows OS, I'd like for it to carter to dependencies appropriately.
PLEASE ANYONE that chooses to ASSIST (based on the SPECIFICATIONS) should KINDLY include the DETAILS of how the result was ACHIEVED so at least I can read through and understand the Application and conveniently make suitable/any necessary modifications (should
the CLIENT require that I do so). eg Step by step instructions on how to get the whole SOURCE CODE into INSTALLATION FILE, Setting up the Splash Screen, how the DB is made to connect to the front end GUI (eg ODBC, OLE DB that type of stuff)... etc etc
I'm trying to keep the prototype VERY SIMPLE so I can ACHIEVE something TANGIBLE in this short space of time then LATER any SOPHISTICATION can be included.
PS: I have done MY VERY BEST to plan out the Application Logic. So it should be easy to just READ over the Notepad docs I'm including here... As a pointer (should YOU decide to ASSIST) it would be FASTER to START with the WinForms, then MOVE to CREATING
the DB, afterwards LINK THEM...
Thank YOU ALL.

BELOW IS WINFORMS PLAN: FRONT END
There are just gonna be 5 GUI Components (FOR NOW). The ENTIRE APPLICATION WINDOWS should be in the range 700px by 700px (width by height).
Forms/GUI Instances
1. Start/Welcome Screen
2. List of books
3. Administration
4. Relase Notes
5. Splash screen
Start/Welcome Screen
When the Software Application is launched and the Software is done loading this is the FIRST screen that the user sees. This Screen presents the users with options to carry out certain actions. Also it presents some brief/summary information to the user in
a presentable manner.
Options include: Administration, View list of books, Relase Notes
Brief/Summary of information include: Total no of books in store, Total no of new books added
List of books Screen
When the user clicks on this action link from any where in the Software Application this page comes up. It displays a complete list of the books that are available in the store and also relevant info about the books. It reads DIRECTLY from the Books table inside
the Database and presents the info in a tabular format. It also provides the user with certain options to carry out some actions.
Options include: Request book (button beside every book item)
Administration Screen
The Administration Screen is segmented into several Areas that allow the operator to carry out individual/independent tasks. On this Screen the operator of the system has options to carry out many vital tasks as regards the Application. Rather than having to
present many different Screens, all the control/Administrative tasks of this Aplication are included here on this ONE Screen.
Options/Segments include: Add book(s), Delete book(s), View list of books, View books requests, View books returned, View all Students, Request for book(s), Register Student, Return books
(All of these Options can be done/carried out on this one screen without having to bring many different screens to do the different tasks)
>>Add book(s) Area
This area FEEDS info DIRECTLY INTO the Books DB. To accept Data input into the Application this has following text boxes: Book Title, Author, Edition, ISBN, Category Name
>>Delete book(s) Area
Presents the options for deleting a book. It also relates DIRECTLY with the Books table in the DB. It presents the list of books as they are available in the Books DB and places a DELETE action button for EVERY book so that when this button is clicked it removes
the book from the Books DB.
>>View list of books
This will simply bring up the list of books Screen since already we have a screen for this.
>>View books requests
This reads DIRECTLY from the UsersRequest table and just presents the info to the user in a tabular form.
>>View books returned
This reads DIRECTLY from the BooksReturned table and just presents the info to the user in a tabular form.
>>View all Students
Lists out all the students that are registered in the Application System. It READS DIRECTLY from the Students table. This area is used by the Admin/Operator of the Application to view a List of all the Students that have had transactions with the Application.
>>Request for book(s) Area
This area relates DIRECTLY with the UsersRequest table in the DB. It FEEDS in Data into the UsersRequest table. This area allows the admin to collect info of the student that's requesting for the book. It provides texboxes such as: First Name, Middle Name,
Surname, RegNo, BookTitle
>>Register Student Area
This area relates DIRECTLY with the Students table in the DB. It FEEDS in Data into the Students table. This are allows the admin to input info of students that are new to the system.
In other for the Admin to keep track of NEW students who are coming in to request for books this area is very important. It allows the Admin to register a new student so that the student can now request for books.
There are text input fields on this Screen that allow the Admin to collect certain infomation about the student and feed it into the Students table of the DB. Textboxes inculde: First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, RegNo
>>Return books Area
This area relates DIRECTLY with the BooksReturned table. It FEEDS Data into the BooksReturned table. Textboxes include: Book Title, Author, ISBN, First Name of student, Last Name of student
Release Notes Screen
This Screen has three tabs that contain their own individual MESSAGES. The tabs are: Version, Known Issues
Version
Refers to the version of the Application. This tab provides info about the version of the Application
Known Issues
Known problems with the Software Application
Splash Screen
A very simple/ moderate graphic (nothing fancy)to introduce the ApplicationHello,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Because your issue is about ASP.NET web application development, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:
http://forums.asp.net/
for better solution and support.
