Recommendations for IFRS and OFRS

Are there any recommendations / best practices for the location of the Input File Repository Server and Output File Repository Server ?
To be more concrete :
- location of the root directory : local to the server ? on a SAN ?
- structure of the disk : FAT32 ? NTFS ?
- any limitation on the number of subdirectories ?
(BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2 on Windows 2003)

Every option you listed should be fine, but there have been known issues with some SAN configurations in the past. I don't work in this area and can't erlaborate on the details. You can try a notes search for FRS/SAN or open a case with support (deployment to start). There may be more specific issues with webi and SANs as well (so check with the webi team if using it).

Tim

How many GB are recommended for downloading and watching movies on an ipad?

how many GB are recommended for downloading and watching movies on an ipad?

I agree. With a 16 gig you'll find that you only have room for a couple of movies once the operating system and any other apps take up their space.
The other alternative would be to look into something like a wireless harddrive, where you can store your movies and stream them to your iPad via an app. However if you're purchasing content from iTunes that may/may not work. So if you consider that you may want to dig a little deeper and make sure it'll do what you want it to do.

Recommendations for USB and FireWire Card

Hi -
I am looking for recommendations for a USB 2.0 expansion card, and a Firewire expansion card for the
Mac Pro.
Thanks,
Dan Powers

The Sonnet PCI USB Express cards have this problem too - for the record. Sonnet know about the MacPro not waking with it installed, as do Apple. I am sure Apple willl come up with something, I may even find a workaround, but it has always seemed that expansion cards with all my Macs [ waaaay too many] have produced unpredicatable problems.

XSLT and XQuery recommendation for BPEL and OSB

Hi,
1. Why is XQuery recommeded for OSB and XSLT for BPEL. Are there any specific performance optimization reason behind this.
2. Apart from OSB and BPEL, both XSLT and XQuery has xml transformation options and creating HTML. What is the difference between these two.
Thanks in advance!

you can create the graphical view of Xquery in Eclipse but not for XSLT
Xquery is much faster than XSLT in OSB.
Through XSLT however you can achieve more complex transformation.
OSB has its historic origins in BEA Aqalogic stable and so Xquery was widely used used even though XSLT is supported. It is a matter of choice(your standards in your organization,your developer skillsets,your re-usable libraries etc )
In Jdeveloper you can develop xslt in graphical mode though and attain complex transformation

What photo album software do you recommend for CS4 and/or CS5?

I want to do pagination, design and layout in CS4 (multiple photos per page, text, etc.) to create printable albums. These albums could be either social event or documentary purposed.
Many such photo album software programs are proprietary which obliges you to use a specific printer or lab. Are there stand alone photo album software programs out there, CS4/5 which allow you to create photo albums and then print your own albums or use a vender of choice to print your albums?
I've seen everything from $29 thru $400, and some which are priced beyond $800.
What is your favorite photo album software for CS4 and/or CS5?
Thanks for any help you may provide.

It sounds like you are trying to create scrapbook pages ... if so then its quite easy just to create them yourself using Photoshop. You can purchase scrapbooking kits which will give you all the background papers and elements that you need to add to your page. There are also many free kits around ... a quick google search will show you lots of them
Sets of the pages can then be uploaded to sites that will print out a book ...

Need recommendation for hardware and software

Hi all,
I am doing a project related to current control.
The purpose is to keep the current at constant. So I measure the current and get the value; and send a analog signal to tell our machine to discharge or to charge in order to keep the current at constant. I need to write the program to give analog signal to machine based on the current input.
Also, the machine can communicate with user. User can monitor the machine operation statuse and current level, etc.
I want to use LabView to program, since it doesn't cost a lot of time. I saw there is LabView RT LabView FPGA, etc. I am confused whether all of these are just diffrent function for LabView or different software. Which one I should use?
For hardware, I have no idea what is compactible with LabVeiw. What I should use?
I am totally new to this. I'll appreciate a lot if anyone can give suggestions.
Thanks

I would recommend having a look at the C-Series Modules. You can then either use the USB Single Module Carrier, Wi-Fi Single Module Carrier, the CompactDAQ platform or the CompactRIO platform. Here is a page that gives a detailed explanation:
C Series Hardware
For your application, you will definitely need LabVIEW. If you decide to go with the cRIO platform, then you will need LabVIEW RT. If you have any questions after reading through, please ask.

Any Recommendation for storing and searching metadata

Hi all,
We upload images to the DB and extract the DICOM, IPTC, XMP and EXIF fields in the DB as xmltypes. This works good.
Now I am wondering what the recommended way is to make these fields searchabe by the user. I have tried to create an index over those fields, which works ok, but updating them when images are uploaded or removed takes a long time (with jobs).
Also we need to write those fields back to the image. I read the reference and saw that the example suggest to write a new XML file and then write this back to the image. I only saw the example with XMP, but I guess I can do that with IPTC too, or? If so any examples? Our application allows the user to edit and add new keywords and those fields need to be stored back to the image.
TIA for any answers.

OK, we only support replacing Metadata in XMP format.
Also, we do not support replacing metadata with DICOM medical images.
Do you have a write up of your application? If we onderstood what you were trying to do, we would be in a better position to make recommendations, like what kind of indexing to use. If possible, you could send it to me at [email protected]
If you have interMedia requirements, send them to [email protected]

Call for Recommendations for Database and Joystick

Can you please recommend a database product for Mac? I know about FileMaker but I was hoping for something less expensive with a good GUI front end. I use MySQL at work and am not happy with the GUI tools for MySQL.
Can you also please recommend a good joystick to use for XPlane 8?
Thanks!

FileMaker is the best option if you want a good GUI front end. It's not free like MySQL but the price is worth it.

Config. recommended for MDS9216 and WAAS 7341

Hello,
i am testing for a customer datacenter replication with 2 MDS 9216i with Hitachi storage in each site. A WAN emulated with WAN BRIDGE with 155MB and delay 220ms. I have WAAS in each site.
Can you tell me the best recommendation to achieve the best performance ?? i am using WAAS in replication-acceleration mode.
Thanks and regards.
Leo.

Thanks so much for your response.
yes, i am using 2 7341 with inline card from demo depot.un fortunally one 7341 has hardware problem then we are replace it by a 7326. we change to application acceleration with software version 4.1.3.b
i think the waas is working goog but my customer need more performance. we are using WAN-BRIDGE to emulate 155 mbps with 220 ms delay and we found that his performance goes down each day needing reboot.
Do you know any other application to emulate the wan ?
thanks so much again.
Leo.

Hardware configuration recommendations for database and VM work

I'm looking for advice on system configuration for a computer to use at work for database, VM, and number-crunching applications. The database work will involve complex SQL queries against MySQL databases in the 5–50 GB range. I'll be using the computer for a variety of projects, and I'd like to configure and run Linux VMs on a per-project basis. The number-crunching will involve engineering applications, most of which will likely run in Linux. The database tables might be accessed from OS X or a Linux VM; I'm not sure at this point.
Advice or recommended reading on internal RAID, SAS, Fibre Channel, and the like would be appreciated. Would it make sense to have a large SATA boot drive that stores the VM and a second high-throughput drive array for the database tables? If so, what are some good options for configuring the latter? Staying in the $5k–$7k range would be nice.
Thanks,
Andreas

Yamaha MO8 and Korg Volcas with Logic Pro X- recommendations for mixer and audio interface

I plan to use Logic Pro X to access and configure the patch list for my Yamaha MO8 workstation. The Steinberg software I downloaded previously didn't work and never allowed me to configure the sounds. From what I've heard, I was told to use a cheap mixer or a Audio/MIDI interface (like the Scarlett 2i2 or 4i4). The Yamaha MO8 will be used as a master and has MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU. I also have the Korg Volca synths to use as slaves (they only have the MIDI IN port), and plan to connect them to the MIDI THRU on the keyboard. I already have the Yamaha USB driver installed, and the Mac recognizes the device. I also have the Portmidi app and wonder if that will allow me to see the patch list (with the actual names, not numbers).
What mixer and audio/MIDI interface do you recommend to use the Yamaha MO8 and the Korg Volcas? Just to be clear, I don't want to use software synths, but would like to use the external instruments to get the audio (which I know can be selected through the Environment Panel on Logic Pro X).

Anything with 2 audio inputs and 2 MIDI outs.
-Out HP jack of Volca-1/8 to 1/4 adapter into Audio interface 1 (For any that are stereo use both 1 and 2 and use a Y splitter in addition to 1/8 to 1/4 adapters.
-Midi out from interface to Midi in of volca (Or buy a USB to MIDI interface for about $35)
-When starting up the volcas hold down the "Memory button" the LED will tell you what MIDI channel it is set to, you can change it if you wish)
-Create external MIDI track and set it to the same channel as the Volca (Only if you want to do sequencing in the DAW, if thee Volca sequencer is handling it then not necessary)
-Patch together the Volcas via the "synch out/Synch in" jacks to insure they are synched
-Record them all together or one at a time, depending on how many simultaneous tracks your interface can handle.

Firewire Card Recommendation for Duende and/or Ensemble

I am in the process of moving from a PPC to a Quad core 3.0 machine. Can anyone recommend a PCIE firewire card for running the Duende or the Apogee card?
I'm looking for something with 800 and 400 ports.
I've loaded this machine up with 16gb ram and 4 drives, is there anything I need to know as far as tweaks, any specific pcie slot to install the fw card as well as a UAD2 card?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fw_adapter.html
I don't know about Ensemble or Duende but my Motu works on a LeCie D2 connected to the FW800 port of my G5 without problems...
seems to be more faster... but in any case just an adapter to be sure about stay close to FW800 commectors.

Network Attached Storage Recommendation for PC and Mac compatability

Hi Everyone,
I am about to purchase a MacBook and am looking to also by an NAS drive on which I can store all of my music (and maybe my movies as well). I want to be able to store and retrieve files from both my windows machine and the mac.
I have been researching the drives and can't decide whether to go with a LaCie, Maxtor, or Western Digital. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Also, I am not clear on how I would be able to store both Windows and Mac Files on an NAS but I have gathered that it should be no problem to do this. Can anybody here explain this to me? My goal is to have one partition on this drive so that I have a central media library.
Thanks for any input. These forums have been a great source of information for making the decision to buy a mac.

(I am posting this in multiple places in hopes of getting a response.)

You might want to look into the ReadyNAS from Infrant:
http://infrant.com/
The models have essentially the same features in different form factors. It's more expensive than a bare bones NAS, but it's very capable. Briefly:
-- you can use 1-4 drives, for massive capacity
-- it implements RAID 5 in hardware, allowing you to get redundancy without much wasted space. Other NAS that provide RAID 5 generally do it in software which is really too slow to be usable
-- provides smb, afp, ftp, http access, will work with pretty much any OS
-- when using their proprietary X-RAID you can sequentially replace disks with larger ones (allowing a rebuild in between) and when you are done the extra space is automatically incorporated into the volume
It's really a very capable unit, allowing you to have massive space and redundancy at home for storage, backup, etc.... You can get going with only two drives and then add more as you need the space/have the money (X-RAID automatically moves from RAID 1 to RAID 5 as you have extra drives).
They also have a very active user forum, so you can get a good view of how it works and hear from the developers directly.
Good luck.

Depending on your budget, operating constraints, timeframe and the transducers you're using a wide variety of equipment might suit your needs. I'd suggest calling the sales department. From NI.com, follow the Contact NI link in the top right corner of the screen. From there you can find information about getting in contact with sales. They help spec out systems all the time.
