Safe way to partition

My story:
I have snow leopard running on my new 27in iMac. I use old versions of software that don't work with Lion. I have a 1TB hd in my mac and a 2tb external hd I have all my Time Machine backups on. I want to update my Mac HD to Lion. Then partition the 2TB external drive and use 1TB for Snow Leopard and 1TB for Time machine on my Mac. This way I will always have a Time Machine backup AND still be able to use all my old Power PC apps.
What is the best possible way to do this AND have all the same data on each OS?
Thanks

Hi,
be sure that you backup your system.... partitioning and resizing is always on risk...
be sure that you can restore if something goes wrong...
if you dont know what happens ... dont do this...
first you can have 3 active (primary & 1 logical ..
as i have for example 1.XP,2. Win7,3. Ubuntu...and 4. Logical (for common data like music,video,textfiles,picture and...)
or 4 active primary...(..)
...hope that you knows easeus partitionmanager a bit ...
...lets have a look :
so you have ... partition c: (XP) ..... ca. 70 GB .... thats enough room for windows 7...(prefer 30GB workspace)
start in windows ... start easeus PM .. click on drive c: (XP) and resize to ... GB leave 30 GB black space behind..(for W7)..
go on this empty space create new primary NTFS partition ... and after that , right click on new primary drive set active !!!! .... click apply button and cross fingers
... system will restart and easeus will manage all your changes takes time...
after restart... prepared for booting windows 7 install and if windows asking you , take the second partition on your harddrive (30 GB)..... and ....so on...
thats the way to go ...

Can I install arche in "safe" way from other worki

Can I install arche in "safe" way from other working distro?
Like Debootstrap for example.
I don't like regular install that I don't have control of the installation procees and It work as root alone so It's need very careful in the partition level.
It is possible?

I want to install again arch but now there isn't pacman.static.
What should I do?
Solved:
I install pacman and libdownload and now I can install with normal pacman

SSRS - Is there a multi thread safe way of displaying information from a DataSet in a Report Header?

In order to dynamically display data in the Report Header based in the current record of the Dataset, we started using Shared Variables, we initially used ReportItems!SomeTextbox.Value, but we noticed that when SomeTextbox was not rendered in the body
(usually because a comment section grow to occupy most of the page if not more than one page), then the ReportItem printed a blank/null value.
So, a method was defined in the Code section of the report that would set the value to the shared variable:
public shared Params as String
public shared Function SetValues(Param as String ) as String
Params = Param
Return Params
End Function
Which would be called in the detail section of the tablix, then in the header a textbox would hold the following expression:
=Code.Params
This worked beautifully since, it now didn't mattered that the body section didn't had the SetValues call, the variable persited and the Header displayed the correct value. Our problem now is that when the report is being called in different threads with
different data, the variable being shared/static gets modified by all the reports being run at the same time.
So far I've tried several things:
- The variables need to be shared, otherwise the value set in the Body can't be seen by the header.
- Using Hashtables behaves exactly like the ReportItem option.
- Using a C# DLL with non static variables to take care of this, didn't work because apparently when the DLL is being called by the Body generates a different instance of the DLL than when it's called from the header.
So is there a way to deal with this issue in a multi thread safe way?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Angel,
Per my understanding that you want to dynamic display the group data in the report header, you have set page break based on the group, so when click to the next page, the report hearder will change according to the value in the group, when you are using
the shared variables you got the multiple thread safe problem, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, according to the multiple safe problem the better way is to use the harshtable behaves in the custom code, you have mentioned that you have tryied touse the harshtable but finally got
the same result as using the ReportItem!TextBox.Value, the problem can be cuased by the logic of the code that not works fine.
Please reference to the custom code below which works fine and can get all the expect value display on every page:
Shared ht As System.Collections.Hashtable = New System.Collections.Hashtable
Public Function SetGroupHeader( ByVal group As Object _
,ByRef groupName As String _
,ByRef userID As String) As String
Dim key As String = groupName & userID
If Not group Is Nothing Then
Dim g As String = CType(group, String)
If Not (ht.ContainsKey(key)) Then
' must be the first pass so set the current group to group
ht.Add(key, g)
Else
If Not (ht(key).Equals(g)) Then
ht(key) = g
End If
End If
End If
Return ht(key)
End Function
Using this exprssion in the textbox of the reportheader:
=Code.SetGroupHeader(ReportItems!Language.Value,"GroupName", User!UserID)

Is there a way of partitioning the data in the cubes

Hello BPC Experts,
we are currently running an Appset with 4 Applciations. Anyway two of these are getting really big.
In BPC for MS there is a way to partitioning the data as I saw in the How tos.
In NW Versions the BPC queries the Multiprovider. Is there a way to split the underlying Basis Cube to several (split by time or Legal Entity).
I think this would help to increase the speed a lot as data could be read in parallel.
Help is very much appreciated.
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
The short answer to your question is that, no, there is not a way to manually partition the infocubes at the BW level. The longer answer comes in several parts:
1. BW automatically partitions the underlying database tables for BPC cubes based on request ID, depending on the BW setting for the cube and the underlying database.
2. BW InfoCubes are very different from MS SQL server cubes (ROLAP approach in BW vs. MOLAP approach usually used in Analysis Services cubes). This results in BW cubes being a lot smaller, reads and writes being highly parallel, and no need for a large rollup operation if the underlying data changes. In other words, you probably wouldn't gain much from semantic partitioning of the BW cubes underlying BPC, except possibly in query performance, and only then if you have very high data volumes (>100 million records).
3. BWA is an option for very large cubes. It is expensive, but if you are talking 100s of millions of records you should probably consider it. It uses a completely different data model than ROLAP or MOLAP and it is highly partition-able, though this is transparent to the BW administrator.
4. In some circumstances it is useful to partition BW cubes. In the BW world, this is usually called "semantic partitioning". For example, you might want to partition cubes by company, time, or category. In BW this is currently supported through manually creating several basic cubes under a multiprovider. In BPC, this approach is not supported. It is highly recommended to not change the BPC-generated Infocubes or Queries in any way.
5. If you have determined that you really need to semantically partition to manage data volumes in BPC, the current best way is probably to have multiple BPC applications with identical dimensions. In other words, partition in the application layer instead of in the data layer.
Hopefully that's helpful to you.

Is this a "safe" way to upgrade to lion and transfer apps/data to new imac?

I have an older imac running 10.6.8 and I am considering buying a new one.
I read a link with guidleines to upgrade to lion. My question is:
After upgrading to lion, I am going to buy a new imac and want to move to the new imac with the least inconvenience. I have a lot of music app/usb interfaces so the time to reconfigure everything would be very time consuming.
So is the "safe" way to do it?
Do a time machine backup of current configuration.
Follow the link I saw outlining upgrading from 10.6.8 to lion on my current imac.
Get everything working again on the current imac with mountain lion.
Do a time machine backup of the lion configuration.
Get the new imac and on first boot, elect to restore from the time machine backup wiping out what came installed on the new imac.
Another time machine backup on the new imac.
I should be done?
or is there a better /safer way?
I have been putting this off for almost year because of the number of apps I am running and devices I have connected. a short list.
file servers off firewire 800 and 400 ( I know I will need the thunderbolt to firewire adapters).
approx 12-18 usb devices all connected either directly or daisy chained through usb controllers connected to usb controllers.
about 10 external USB drives.
vmware
midi interfaces for piano/guitar.
m-audio fast track ultra
multiple DVD/blu-ray reader/writers
Hence my concern for a smooth transition
thanks in advance.

There is really no need to update the older iMac running 10.6 to Lion, especially if you have multiple backups of your User Data. You can easliy move or migrate data from any one of your External HDs or Server to the new iMac.
As for your current iMac:
If you plan on selling the older iMac, Lion is not transferable and you will want to sell it with a clean install of 10.6 and let the new owner upgrade.
If you plan on keeping the older iMac around for others to use and it supports Mountain Lion, then in my humble opinion Mountain Lion is the better upgrade.
As for your other devices:
• Yes, Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter
• Yes, external USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices are backwards compatible
• Sorry, I don't use vmware
• Sorry, I don't use midi interfaces
• Sorry, I don't use m-audio
• Yes, my external DVD drives work with various Mac's running 10.6 thru 10.8
Sorry I can't better answer your Audio questions. If no one else comes along with the answers here, then you might try starting another ASC question focused on those transitions.

Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

What is the best way to partitioning Macbook Air 13" 2012 solid state drive

What is the best way to partitioning Macbook Air 13" 2012 solid state drive.

Tech,
You don't provide enough information onto which anyone could reasonably formulate an answer.
As mentioned, you don't indicate the circumstances that would warrant consideration of multiple partitions. Moreover, you also don't indoicate the size of the SSD in question.
Like Fred said, ordinarily you leave it alone as one. Some people like to keep data and the OS/apps separate, but it is for specific reasons.

Is down loading projects to DVD's a safe way to edit and save?

Yesterday I posted "Is down loading projects to DVD's a safe way to edit and save?". It got deleted. Being a newbe I got it in the wrong forum. I got it in "Post New Thread in Forum Comments". I was asked what path I used; I opened the home page. I ticked Discussions / Start New Discussion. I was so baited by the lure to post, I did not see the small "Adobe Forums" at the top and bottom of the page. I also did not understand the large "Post New Tread in Forum Comments". It was a bit confusing to me. But thanks to you guys I see the light.
I read the discussion I started in "Why do we keep moving Post?". I was branded as a lost soul. I want to thank all of you for helping find my way. No one was rude or even harsh. I have been on other Forums and if you make a mistake you get blasted.
I also want to thank you for all the answers I got for my original post. I read up on SATA and I can see that is where I need to make some changes to my portioned HD. I am sure I will be leaning on you for a lot of help for such a "Lost soul". And that I am. I am your typical 61 year old who got started late on computers.
The fact that my HD is portioned is not a good thing I learned. I am not sure if my computer has the Power Supply or the Mother Board to convert to SATA. My question is: Will eSATA work in place of the internal SATA?
Will I need two; one for editing and one for storage.
I have an outboard I Omega with about 650GB, I think. Not sure if it is SATA, but it has worked well for my backup videos and general files.
Thanks Again and I hope I got it right this time.
I'm timid about ticking the "Post Message" , but here goes......Ohhhhhhhhh.....

The system process in control panel MAY give you some of that information
It should ALL be available with the information the system builder gave you... he DID give you the paperwork that came with the individual components?
Taking the side panel off the case and looking inside with a flashlight might also help... but, of course, you'll need to know what it is you are seeing, and it sounds like you don't know much about hardware, so that may not help much
Sadly, if the person who built this "video editing" computer didn't really understand video editing, you are left with a computer that won't do what you want, and no easy way to make it work
You may need to find a computer shop to do this for you... and make sure part of their price is giving you a written list of everything you HAVE and everything they DO in the way of additions or configuration changes

Safe way to cancel queries in dbxml shell utility?

Is there a (safe) way of cancelling a query you're running in the dbxml shell? Because I'm using a throwaway test container I've gone and used Ctrl-C a couple of times but it exits the shell completely so may be leaving the open container in a mess.
If I had a working container properly set up with transaction support, locking, logging etc. and I wanted to test new XQueries from the shell afterwards, how would I interrupt queries which were slow, contained typos seen to late, etc.?
There's an "abort" command but I don't think that's what I'm looking for as I'm not trying to stop transactions.
Tim

Tim,
I assume you are adding some documents, then querying, and when that takes a long time, hitting ^C. In the 2.2.13 dbxml shell, the best way to ensure that your container is consistently on disk is to create the container, add documents, and then exit the shell.
After that, you can restart the shell, open the container, and query/^C away and the container will still be intact. The reason is that exiting the shell closes the environment, which flushes the cache to the disk.
As John mentioned, the upcoming 2.3 release has better ^C support in the shell. It also has a "sync" subcommand that flushes the cache to disk.

George

Is there a safe way to disableversioning

Is there a safe way to disableversioning on a schema with ~100 tables, where both indexes and constraints had length > 26 when versionenabling?
I've tried to use the dbms_wm.alterversionedtable to ajust the indexes and constraints but still have problems in totally disabling versioning.

What are the errors when you call disableversioning? Only commitDDL does not support constraints and index name lengths > 26 characters.
If the tables are related to each other by referential integrity constraints, then you only need to call disableversioning once, by including the entire table set in the procedure call.

HT1782 Is there a way to partition my bootcamp via disk utility whithout impacting the windows 8.1 which is already installed?

I have got a new macbook pro 15 with SSD - 512Gig, RAM - 16 Gig, NVIDIA GPU - 2 Gig. I basically work on windows stuff and I heard of the bootcamp support that apple provide to install windows in their models and wanted to try the best APPLE mobile PC.
What I did:
I logged in to windows 8.1 via bootcamp and under disk management tool in windows I partitioned my bootcamp drive to add a new partition. The partition was successfully done but when I tried to bootcamp back to OSx, the diskutility did not recognise the addtional partition that i created, eventually i couldnt logon to OSx. Then I logged back in to windows 8.1 and deleted the partition and tried loggin to OSx. But now the diskutility didnot recognise any of the drives at all, and I ended up earsing all the partitions and recovered OSx via internet.
I guess the partitions cannot be modified outside the OSx itself. So is there a way to partition my bootcamp via disk utility whithout impacting the windows 8.1 which is already installed?
Any one please help.
Thanks in advance,
Sreejesh.

After using BootCamp to partition a drive, the partition map is a hybrid that Disk Utility is unable to do anything with safely as far as partitioning goes.
Try Camptune from Paragon at http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ instead.

Safe way to edit system configuration files?

What is a safe way to edit a system configuration file? I mean I did this twice: I edited rc.conf, rebooted and the system failed to boot. Then I had to edit out the typos with a LiveCD.
Is there like a visudo (that edits /etc/sudoers) for rc.conf, xorg.conf, fstab and so on?
Thanks!

Majorix wrote:
No I am of course editing those files with sudo. But the problem is, gedit won't check the file for possible errors, thus if you too oversee it and try to reboot using those system files, you will fail.
visudo checks you while you edit, so if you make an error it will warn you in the end.
I was asking if there was a similar tool for the rest of the configuration files.
Sorry for not being clear.
Oh -- a kind of a babysitter, you mean?
j/k, i screw up config files all the time.
No, as far as I know there is nothing like that for most files. some do have functionality like that, like I think lilo warns you when you write to lilo.conf and the file has errors. and you can run something like testparm for the smb.conf file, and I think there something similar to check apache config files, etc. but for the standard system config files or arch-specific files like rc.conf, fstab, etc. I don't think there is anything. you just have to be sure not to make any mistakes!

Seek easy and safe way for average users to manage the contents of Portal.

Dear all,
My boss today requested me to provide a easy, safe way for average users in my company to manage the contents of Portal themselves.
My boss request users can upload files, documents, images and text into Portal.
I know that Oracle Portal provides security control for editing Portal. But it also provides a quite complex operations for manage the contents of Portal.
I am afraid average users cannot manage it easily.
Can anyone have experience on the issues and can you give me suggestion?
Thanks a lot
George (HK)

Hi Vijay.B,
We can give privileges to manage the contents of the portal page.
Create a group and add the users into that group and for the page level privilege >>add this group as manage.
The members of the group can manage the page.I know the above is the standard strategy for users to manage the portal contents.
But, as an average user, I think it is still to complicated to manage.
For my case, I need to provide a means for average users to add news to the portal, so my priliminary idea is that I will create a portlet for news entries such as news heading, hyperlinks, text and save the entries in DB. Then, on the homepage of Portal, I will create another portlet for displaying the news headlines with hyperlink pointing to the actual URL.
thanks
George

Can i use TC to backup a pc using the internal storage?Is there a way to partition some of it for FAT 32?

is there a way to partition TC so I can back a pc on my network without having to get a usb hard drive?

You cannot partition a TC.. well not without pulling it apart.. not recommended unless you have a fit of the crazies.. like moi.
You do not need to FAT32 anything.. indeed you cannot.. the internal drive of the TC is HFS+ and is always going to be HFS+.
But it is shared with windows over the network as if it was FAT32.. so you can indeed backup your pc to it.
Simply mount (sorry Linux/Apple term).. simply access the TC drive, by typing its address in Windows Explorer.
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress where you obviously replace with the real network name.. or the real IP address.. so by default it would be \\10.0.1.1
If PC cannot access it make sure you have airport utility for windows loaded.. and you have PC setup in home location not work or public.. no luck turn off the firewall.
