Setting Disks/Caches/Vault for multiple projects - Best Practices

Please confirm a couple assumptions for me:
1. Because Scratch Disk, Cache and Autosave preferences are all contained in System Settings, I cannot choose different settings for different projects at the same time (i.e. I have to change the settings upon launch of a new project, if I desire a change).
2. It is good practice to set the Video/Render Disks to an external drive, and keep the Cache and Autosave Vault set to the primary drive (e.g. user:Documents:FCP Documents). It is also best practice to save the Project File to your primary drive.
And a question: I see that the Autosave Vault distinguishes between projects, and the Waveform Cache Files distinguishes between clips. But what happens in the Thumbnail Cache Files folder when you have more than one project targeting that folder? Does it lump it into the same file? Overwrite it? Is that something about which I should be concerned?
Thanks!

I don't. And I don't think it matters. But you should back that file up to some other drive (like Time Machine).

I wouldn't worry about it.

Responsive projects autosizing for multiple devices -- best practices?

While it's a nice idea to have the three different breakpoints on width that allow you to make some major layout changes, I'm having trouble making this work well across multiple devices. With the high resolutions of current mobile devices, this model just doesn't seem to work well. For example, the iPad 2 in landscape mode select the desktop layout, which isn't bad, but in portrait mode gets the tablet layout, which by default is set up to be landscape. I changed the heights for both breakpoints to better fit the iPad, but then the iPhone in landscape gets the tablet layout, requiring a lot of scrolling.
Given the wide range of resolutions on mobile devices, it's not at all clear how this a simplistic mechanism like this could ever work. For one thing, it sure seems like you need to provide for both portrait and landscape layouts on tablets and phones, with Captivate using both width and height to select the best one. Also, is there any way to tell it to fill the screen without scrolling? How about automatically leaving the area clear where there's a status bar (or telling it to hide the status bar)?
I could just create a separate version of the project for each device, but then lose much of the value of creating a Responsive Project in the first place. Have those of you with more experience found good ways to deal with these variables, or is the best option to just create separate versions of the project?

BAPI/FM for setting the user status for the Project definition and WBS elem

Hi,
I have to set the User Status for the Project Definition and the WBS elements in that project.
The User status to be set is the same for the project and wbs elements.
Please let me know if there is any BAPI/FM to set the user status..
Thanks in advance.

Shiva

Hi Shkithija,
There is a dump encoutered in the form "PS_FLAG_GET_GLOBAL_FLAGS" for 'chk_precommit_ok' in the "BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT".
But it is showing SY-SUBRC = 0 when used along with BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
May i know what are input parameters we need to pass it to "BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT".
Do you have any idea.
Please let me know

Creating a custom cache location for multiple users

If I use the browser.cache.disk.parent_directory method (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory) to set up a specific folder for the cache:
Are there advantages to specifying a different (sub)folder for each of the users on my computer, or will Firefox handle things automatically just as well?

Note that only one user can use a specific profile at the time, so if there is any chance that two or more users are active at the same time then you need separate profile folders and separate cache folders for each user.
Note that you can also set prefs via a mozilla.cfg auto configuration file.<br />
Such a configuration file can contain JavaScript, so you can detect the user profile (ProfD) and environment variables.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Set different System Prefs for specific projects?

What I need to be able to do is to maintain everything about a client project in one place. We use a different drive for each client, that way everything is kept very orderly and we can easily manage it.
But if I set the system prefs (like where to save render files, capture scratch, etc.) for one project, those settings are saved even when another project is opened and I have to remember to change them or I'll get render files from Client A saved to Client B's drive.
And of course the problem is even worse with multiple projects open.
So, is there any way to say: Save Everything about this project HERE and Everything about this other project over HERE? And not have to manually change system prefs every single time?
Thanks!
G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I simply created three different users for three diffrent projects when specifically requested to meet such odd and onerous and unnecessary (in my view) requirements. That way each project could be assigned its own preferences for such things as targets for scratch etc. I find the FCP file management system more than adequate to quickly keep crucial original files in order without resorting to the log in/out user dance, but its the only thing I could come up with at the time. Maybe someone else has an easy cure.

How to update project number for multiple projects in 1 go?

Hello Experts,
I wanted to update the project number for 100 odd projects? is it possible ? what is impact ? How would I do it in one go?
Please help
Thanks
:-)

Hi Siddhartha,
After some research i found a way, just put more references on the "collection".
Here's a sample to export all domain projects :
collectionList = ArrayList()
refs = ALSBConfigurationMBean.getRefs(Ref.DOMAIN)
it = refs.iterator()
while it.hasNext():
ref = it.next()
if ref.getTypeId() == Ref.PROJECT_REF:
collectionList.add(ref)
collection = HashSet(collectionList)
To export multiple project, just put multiple projects refs in an arraylist and create a Set from the arraylist with "collection = HashSet(collectionList)".

Setting property attribute values for multiple selected objects.

Hello,
Is there an easy way to set the attribute property values for more that one selected Table Operator Attribute (column) at a time. For example the target table has over 100 columns but I only want to INSERT/UPDATE 10 of those columns. The generated MERGE, INSERT and UPDATE statements will perform DML on all of the columns in the target table, setting the 90 columns with no mapping set to NULL. This is due to the Loading Properties 'Load Column when Updating Row' and 'Load Column when Inserting Row' both default to Yes. I would like to select multiple Attributes in the Table Operator and change the 'Load Column when Updating Row' and 'Load Column when Inserting Row' to No. This is similar to what you were able to do in Oracle Forms 9.0 Designer select multiple Items in a Block and change the properties en-masse.
Thanks

Hi,
Using OMB scripting to set attribute properties in a data mapping sort of defeats the purpose of utilizing a graphical user interface to define and set properties for a data mapping? Surely the GUI data mapping tool was created to get away from writing scripts and scripting would also require that you know the name of the data mapping, table operator and the set of attribute names for which you have to write one line of script to set each property value, i.e. 90 lines to set 90 attribute values.
Cheers,
Phil

Capturing lots of footage for multiple projects?

I've got 50+ DV tapes with years worth of footage that I want to transfer to my hard disk so that I can eventually make some movies. Do I have to capture to a project in FC4? I want to transfer all the video and then pick out clips for projects as I need them. (Something like the clip browser in iMovie, but I can't stand editing in the new iMovie). My first thought was to create a single project and capture all my video there. Then when I work on a project I can just use clips from the "capture" project. Any thoughts on this approach?

I capture all my tapes in FCE and then copy the clip files from Capture Scratch to folders on an external FW drive that is my 'video store'. (Among other things, it simplifies backing up all my source media clips.) After copying the clip files to the external drive, I delete them from Capture Scratch and I do not keep the FCE project(s) in which I capture the tapes.
To help keep the clip files organized, I do this:
• give each tape a unique reel number and name at the time of the shoot
• assign the reel number & name in FCE when I capture
• store related clip files in a folder with an appropriate name (for example, if I have 4 reels from a single shoot, I keep them together in a single folder)
• keep a log of each tape in an Excel workbook
When I start a real project, I can import any/all of the clip files from my external drive for any project.

Gantt Chart View for Multiple Projects

Hello all;
Is there any way to see a complete Gannt view which refers to multiple project. means I' d like to select more than 2 project at the same time and look those Gantt view in order to realize what is going on for all projects.. ?

Good one Ahmed
Thanks
In my opinion however - if you were managing more than one project than Gantt Chart is not the relevant tool for monitoting - you need a dash board - Gantt chart really is useful for getting details of a project. If you see Gantt chart for more than one project then you will need a wall size screen

10g: unable to set default dashpoard (portalpath) for multiple groups

Hi All,
I am facing a problem while setting portal path for multiple groups.
I have two RPD groups and each group need to have it's own default dashboard as a lending page.
We are using RPD authentication and can't use database table to save portalpath for each user or group.
What have I tried so far is as follows:
We have two groups Group1 and Group2 which need to have default dashboard as *\shared\_portal\dashboard1* and *\shared\_portal\dashboard2* respectively.
Approach 1: Create a Session INIT block with the following query:
select case when 'Group1' = ':GROUP' then '\shared\_portal\dashboard1' else '\shared\_portal\dashboard2' end from dual
Result: Failed - As all the users are directed to '\shared\_portal\dashboard2'. Somehow *':Group'* isn't getting the GROUP assigned.
Even tried replacing ':GROUP' with 'VALUEOF(GROUP)' in SQL query, however it didn't help.
Any help with achieving the same functionality will be appreciated.
Regards,
Kansal

Kansal,
Here you go...make use of below example and change as per you need.
Create a SESSION - INIT BLOCK with this in query...Say PPIB
SELECT CASE WHEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.GROUP)' = 'DASH_usr' THEN '/shared/test' WHEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.GROUP)' = 'DASH_ctr' THEN '/shared/test1' END FROM DUAL
Assign a variable to it with name PORTALPATH and default to anything say '/abc/'
This will work for sure...You can test this in RPD as well.
Hope this helps

How to store vaults for multiple libraries on one drive

Does anyone know if one can have a vault for three different Aperture libraries on the same external drive? The prompt says something about erasing all vaults.

Creating default branches for multiple projects: A_MAIN, B_MAIN...

I'm trying to figure out how to minimize my pain and get started
using SCM under JDev for a multi-project development.
Will it be advantagous to create a PROJ_MAIN branch for each
project? COMMON_MAIN, AP_MAIN, GL_MAIN ...
Then the src for each project is not co-mingled so to speak..
Any thoughts?
curt

Curt,
Certainly this is a good approach. You have probably found that the latest(main) rule provides too many files. By restricting code to, what we call, integration branches, the code is more clearly divided into product areas.
The JDev WA wizard allows the creation of a workarea based on the latest on a branch, however, from memory this adds the latest(main) rule to the latest(new_branch) rule for the JDev private WA. This again could download more files than required. A better approach is to create a JDev workarea based on a shared workarea (the second choice when creating a JDev WA). This shared workarea is created in the RON or commandline tool. Just give access to one other user or PUBLIC and the workarea becomes shared and available in the JDev WA wizard.
Taking this one step further, we usually create a configuration, base the WA on this and then share the WA. This provides a nice baseline for development.
regards,
David

Deploy One Ear file for Multiples Projects

Hi,
I work with JDeveloper 9.0.3 and BC4J+UIXML+Jsp Pages and I organize my application in multiple projects, each one contain BC4J and UIXML programs.
I have a problem in deploy my application with JDeveloper Deploy Profiles because I can't deploy multiples projects in on .ear or .war files.
Today in development time, i build or rebuild my project and copy all executable files in manual mode to Oracle 9ias OC4J directory, into a deploy of one project, but i think that proccess is not correctly.
What i need to do ?
thanks.
Danilo

In order to include other projects in the EAR, you need to create deployment profiles (WAR,Jar..)in each project which will archive the contents of the project.
After that you need to create an EAR deployment profile and edit the properties to include other deployment profiles created earlier.
